WiMAX OFDM Basics and MATLAB Code

This section delves into the basics of WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) and provides relevant MATLAB code for WiMAX OFDM. We also touch upon WiMAX Simulink source code.

WiMAX is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, which defines several physical layers. The most commonly used are OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing), OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access), and SC (Single Carrier).

This page offers valuable details on MATLAB and Simulink source code for the WiMAX OFDM and OFDMA physical layers, adhering to the 802.16d and 802.16e standards.

WiMAX OFDMA Simulink Model (16e Standard)

We also provide a Simulink model conforming to the 16e standard for WiMAX OFDMA.

This resource explains each module of the OFDMA Physical layer as defined by the IEEE 802.16e-2005 Standard.

It includes an example of 1024 FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) for the Downlink chain, which is used by the Base Station to transmit information to Mobile subscribers.
