An analysis and comparison of different routing algorithms in WiMAX networks

World-wide interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is a wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs). Routing and multimedia application plays an important role in the WiMAX networks. In this study, the main focus is on analyzing and comparing the different routing algorithms such as AODV, DYMO, DSR, Bellman-Ford and Fish-Eye for the WiMAX networks. We have considered few QoS parameters such as total data received, average end-to-end delay, average jitter and throughput. Here, we have considered the CBR application. From the obtained result DSR routing algorithm outperforms high throughput and total data received. Bellman-Ford and Fish-Eye provides less average end-to-end delay. Bellman-Ford routing algorithm also provides less average jitter.
