PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF ZIGBEE AND WiMAX BASED ON QOS

ABSTRACT: In this paper, the performance of Zigbee and WiMAX are presented through measurements of three different Quality Of Service parameters such as Throughput, Delay and Packet Delivery ratio with respect to AODV protocol using NS2. The Zigbee technology based on standard 802.15.4 which is designed to meet the needs for simple, low power and low cost WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network). In parallel, the WiMAX technology based on standard 802.16 which offers higher capacity and wider coverage area than cellular network. The results shows the comparative analysis for Wireless Sensor Network based technologies Zigbee and WiMAX on three different number of nodes scenario ie 100 (10*10), 49 (7*7), 169 (13*13)
