English Abstract

IEEE 802.16 defines WiMAX as a broadband access technology that, among others might be considered as an alternative to other broadband access technologies such as fiber optics and 4G.

It is worth to mention that IEEE802.16 does not impose any scheduling technique, thus opening the way for contributions from industry and academia aiming at enhancing the Quality of Service (QoS).

This thesis proposed an uplink scheduling algorithm, the aim of this work is twofold: At the theoretical level, firstly we project to deepen the study of a promising scheduling algorithm based on the Deficit Round Robin (DRR), namely the Dynamically Weighted Deficit Round Robin (DWDRR) (Andreadis et al., 2014), secondly studying different parameters especially the Queue delay to enhance the performance for different flows rate and improving the QoS.

This will improve the scheduling technique to provide user with better performance with respect of different Quality of service classes.

At the experimental level, we project to adapt the NS-2 simulator by functionalities able to deal with the 802.16 standard, then to use it to perform simulations, with the objective to compare our scheduling algorithm with the DWDRR, with respect to throughput, delay and fairness for various QoS connections.
