IEEE 802.16e 基本的換手機制仿真器

Abstract

近年來無線網路相關技術迅速發展普及，無線網路涵蓋範圍從數公尺一直擴充到英哩。目前最新提出的WiMAX 技術宣稱能提供每秒75 Mbits 頻寬，並擁有31 英哩的涵蓋範圍，其中IEEE 802.16e 為具有行動技術之最新標準。本篇論文根據最新的標準實作IEEE 802.16e 基本換手機制仿真器，此仿真器可以作為將來相關研究與產品開發的平台，亦可以作為WiMAX 學習教材。此外，本篇論文也提到在實作中的經驗與遭遇的相關問題，這些經驗與問題對將來IEEE 802.16e實際建構時，有所助益。

Recently wireless technologies are fast growing and widespread, the coverage of wireless networks extends from meters to miles. The up-to-date WiMAX technology claims to provide a bandwidth of 75 Mbps and coverage over 31 miles. In this thesis, we design and implement an IEEE 802.16e emulator with the general handover mechanism. The proposed emulator will be a good platform for further research, application development and even teaching tools. The experiences and the problems we encountered during implementation will be helpful for the one who wants to construct a real WiMAX network system.
