Mobile WiMAX resource allocation algorithms guidelines and performance assessment

Resource allocation management is one of the effective factors of WiMAX base station performance. Various goals could be achieved when the resource allocation scheme exploits in the right direction. However, the assessment of the resource allocation algorithms lacks to a uniform performance metrics. Where, most of the researches are trying to show authors perspectives in the finding results to show the design pros, whilst the overall performance in resource allocation perspective mostly not exist. This paper proposes a new style of primary assessment for the resource allocation algorithms to ease conducting a fair comparison between the relevant algorithms. The assessment methodology based on a set of evaluation questions. The obtained results show that the new assessment method distinguishes the overall performance to provide fair comparison.
