Outline Introduction Highest Urgency First (HUF) Evaluation result Conclusion
Introduction WiMAX is an emerging next-generation mobile wireless technology WiMAX has a control center named BS Management Allocation
Introduction Bandwidth in wireless environment is relatively scarce Demand of time-sensitive Multimedia Maximum latency Minimum reserved rate An appropriate bandwidth allocation algorithm is required in BS

Introduction They do not concern the physical-layer characteristics Modulation types and coding schemes (MCS)
Introduction This paper A bandwidth allocation algorithm Highest Urgency First(HUF) –QoS –UpLink/DownLink –MCS –Latency guarantee
Highest Urgency First Divides the allocation procedure Detemines the bandwidth of DL/UL subframe Allocates bandwidth for data/bandwidth requests from MSs
Procedure of the Highest Urgency First
DL/UL Sub-frame Allocation 6ms 5ms =1 100byte 20byte/slot =5slot = x slots frame Pramble + DL/ULMAP S rem SD DL SD UL = (48-3*x)/2 x X=11.44 …
Highest Urgency First Allocation N i =20 slot P=4 D i =5 U-factor i = 20*(3+1) 5 N i =25 slot P=4 D i =5 U-factor i = 25*(4+1) 5 N i =20 slot P=4 D i =10 U-factor i = 20*(1+1) 5 …
Evaluation Results
Conclusion Highest Urgency First It translates the requested size to number of slots according to the current MCS It Allocates the bandwidth according to the Urgency of the data/request Simulation result indicates that the quality is retained as the MCS adapts owing to the link quality
