In the proposed research, in partnership with local public safety agencies, the applicant proposes to investigate the use of WiMAX in public safety operations. The research has two primary thrusts. The first is to deploy fixed-base and portable WiMAX testbeds in which 802.16 equipment will be deployed and tested. The second thrust of our research is to continue our performance modeling and analysis of the 802.16 MAC protocol.
