- Investigating Depth-Fanout Trade-O in WiMAX Mesh Networks
- Wireless Mesh Networks WMNs have been an emerging technology for providing cost/effective broadband Internet access. The research done insofar usually assumes that the wireless backbone of a WMN is built using IEEE 802.11 technologies. Such an approach has the drawback of leading to dense and sub-optimal deployments, due to the...

- IPv6 Over IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) Networks: Facts and Challenges
- Deploying the new generation "Internet Protocol" (IPv6) over 802.16-based wireless networks is facing an important challenge as the IEEE 802.16 standard is failing to support IPv6 functionalities. In fact, unlike the other 802 standards, the IEEE 802.16 is based on a Point-to-MultiPoint PMP communication model, where no direct connection (at...
