Abstract :
Wireless systems have recently been becoming faster and more intelligent. However the high speed access and intelligence make the power consumption of wireless systems high. In the WiMAX system, the MS transmission power is controlled in order to avoid exceeding the BS’s total receiving power from an antenna. Conventional wireless network design has long used base site sectorization and single, omni-directional antennas at the enduser device to serve the communications link, with advanced multi-antenna implementations operators have a new suite of tools to develop the robust wireless networks of the future. Revolutionary multiple antenna techniques at the base station and end-user device, paired with sophisticated signal processing and power consumption control, can dramatically improve the communications link for the most demanding application scenarios including heavily obstructed propagation environments and high speed mobility service. This paper presents results of an experimental study, simulation based, directed to determine the optimum transmission power and Antenna gain which influence on the overall handover performance in mobility scenarios, related to WiMAX communications. Based on them, optimal parameter sets can be provided by the network operator to mobile station, to guide its adaptation of the major WiMAX parameters to its speed and network topology and to help the handover decision.
