WiMAX LAB™ 

WiMAX LAB™ is a complete simulation suite including link-level (WiMAX PHY Lab) and system-level (WiMAX MAC Lab*) simulators running under MATLAB environment. WiMAX PHY Lab is a comprehensive implementation of the mobile WiMAX physical layer (according to IEEE 802.16e-2005, 802.16d-2004 where necessary and WiMAX Forum Mobile System Profile Specification Release 1.5). WiMAX MAC Lab truly reflects the dynamic behavior of a modeled radio access network focusing on Radio Resource Management features such as scheduling and link adaptation and including implementation of propagation and mobility models.
