Introduction polling mode unicast multicast broadcast
Introduction In unicast polling, two problems obviously impact on the performance of WiMAX (1) not all the polled nodes have packets to be sent and thus waste bandwidth used for polling these nodes (2) that the node has packets to be sent may not be polled immediately that increases the polling delay
Introduction Motivation to analyze NPS based for increasing network throughput and utilization while decreasing average polling delay NPS: number of polls
Network Model W = (V, E) V: node E: link
Performance Analysis For WiMAX Assume that each SS does not adopt the piggyback bandwidth request for continuous request after sending data on bursts. Tup: Uplink subframe duration time R : Data rate Lup: Uplink subframe length Tf : Frame duration time Tdown: Downlink subframe duration time
Performance Analysis For WiMAX Frame N DL subframe UL subframe … Initial ranging BW requests control period TTx period
Performance Analysis For WiMAX TTx_Data : Data slots period of the uplink subframe TTx : Transmission slots period of the uplink subframe TP : Unicast polling period for SSs to send bandwidth request Φ : The number of polls within a frame period Therefore, a physical frame is decomposed as

Performance Analysis For WiMAX : The average polling delay
Performance Analysis For WiMAX η: The total number of packets that want to be sent in the network Pt : The probability that packets are ready for transmission at every SS Ppoll : The polled probability of an SS Φ : NPS (The number of polls within a frame period) N : The total number of SSs
