Abstract

In recent years, WIMAX technology has witnessed significant advancements, particularly in its capacity to support diverse multimedia applications such as voice and video. As the demand for high-quality, real-time communication continues to surge, the integration of voice and video applications within WIMAX networks has become a focal point for research and development. This thesis focuses on the optimization of multimedia communication in WIMAX networks, addressing different performance metrics such as voice Mos, jitter, voice end-to-end, video delay, voice delay and video end-to-end delay. Building upon earlier studies, the research endeavors to identify and implement improvements that contribute to a more seamless and efficient communication experience. The study commences with an in-depth review of existing literature, highlighting the challenges and advancements in multimedia communication within WIMAX networks. Subsequently, a comprehensive methodology is developed to measure and analyze voice throughput, jitter, and video end-to-end delay. Real-world scenarios are simulated to ensure the applicability of the findings to practical network environments. To achieve enhanced voice end to end delay, jitter as well as throughput, Quality of Service (QoS) implementations are investigated. Jitter mitigation techniques, are explored to minimize disruptions in voice transmission. Furthermore, innovative approaches to reduce video end-to-end delay, are examined. The experimental results demonstrate notable improvements in voice throughput, better jitter, and minimized video end-to-end delay compared to earlier studies. The proposed enhancements contribute to a more reliable and efficient multimedia communication experience in WIMAX networks, catering to the increasing demands of modern communication systems.

Conclusion

In this thesis we concluded mainly two types of studies; one is analytical and second is Practical which is based on OPNET Simulator. Analytic Study concluded the behavior of each Trajectory System like EXAM, FIXEDVECTOR&MANET DOWN LEFT. All the Network Performance has depended on its Trajectory System. Each different Trajectory System has different processing Mechanism according to their environmental scenarios. From Simulator aspects we concluded that which is major factor that can affect the performance of
