WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) based on IEEE 802.16 standards is a wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) which supports point to multi-point broadband wireless access(BWA). The IEEE wireless standard has a range of up to 30 miles, and offers wireless access at lower cost with higher bandwidth up to 75 megabits per second. WiMAX is considered one of the most attractive technologies for last-mile BWA problem in metropolitan areas and under-served rural areas. Three options are popular today for design of wireless networks - Point-to-Point, Point-to- Multipoint, and Mesh topologies. WiMAX is most often associated with the point-to-multipoint (PMP) topology.
