Problems with Chang Gung University’s WiMAX Module
Couldn’t support more than 11~12 nodes when actual simulations were carried out
Generated Segmentation faults Even though the transmissions from source
nodes were cut-off the Base station continued to send traffic to receiver nodes!!

Conclusions
Though utilization is high the standard with its current specifications (70 Mbps) will maximize its throughput at about 80 nodes.
Without a proper classification of streams at the base station the streams with stringent QoS will suffer great loss
With TDD polling mechanism the nodes generating traffic with stringent QoS requirements suffer a great deal
