Mobile WiMAX: Multi-Cell Network Evaluation and Capacity Optimization

The performance of a mobile WiMAX system is highly dependent on the application environment. Local clutter has a significant impact on the path loss exponent and the observed multipath statistics. The spectral efficiency of a WiMAX network can be enhanced if channel quality information is included as part of the system optimization process. This paper presents a comprehensive study of such a scenario, with numerical analysis of mobile WiMAX presented for a multi-cell deployment.
