Abstract
The WiMAX network has been proposed as an alternative technology to provide wireless network service. This paper focuses on WiMAX system forecasting in Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) environments and describes numerous models, including a user model, application model, economic model, subscription model, and evaluation model. We simulated a WiMAX network using these models to forecast the profitability of a broadband access system in an MRT environment.
