Abstract
WiMAX is one of the most promising technologies to provide broadband wireless access in the near future. In this paper we identify a key element for the performance of a WiMAX network, the DL-MAP packing algorithm, which mainly determines the usage efficiency of the available radio resources and investigate potential differences that could appear between WiMAX equipment vendors in the maximum capacity of the system due to the packing approach used. Our results show that the performance of simple DL-MAP packing algorithms might be significantly outperformed by more complex ones resulting in a clear differentiation factor among manufacturers.
