Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a system level evaluation platform based on the Mobile WiMAX system profile defined by WiMAX Forum. In order to satisfy the large computational requirement of the wireless channel simulation, we propose a distributed implementation method which can effectively reduce the simulation time by parallel computation. Moreover, different interfaces are provided in our platform to enable flexibility and extensibility of embedding various algorithms. Simulation results illustrate that the distributed simulation method reduces the simulation time significantly and the performance of the WiMAX system is reasonable according to the theoretical values.
