Maximizing Downlink Bandwidth Allocation Method Based on SVC in Mobile WiMAX Networks for Generic Broadband Services

Algorithm 1

Downlink bandwidth allocation method for different traffic profiles.
Downlink Bandwidth Allocation Method (DBAM)
IF call traffic = UGS or ERT-VR traffic
 Calculate bandwidth according to sustained rate.
 Allocate bandwidth.
IF call traffic = RT-VR traffic
IF call traffic = unicast
  Calculate the bandwidth by leaky bucket algorithm and downlink adaptive adjustment.
  Allocate bandwidth.
ELSE IF call traffic = multicast
  IF user burst profile = 64-QAM
   According the burst profile assigns MCID, and the SS can access base layer and two enhancement layers.
  ELSE IF user burst profile = 16-QAM
   According the burst profile assigns MCID, and the SS can access base layer and one enhancement layer.
  ELSE IF user burst profile = QPSK
   According the burst profile assigns MCID, and the SS can only access base layer.
IF call traffic = NRT-VR traffic
 The bandwidth allocated to NRT-VR based on minimum required rate
IF call traffic = BE traffic
IF excess bandwidth = True
  Allocate bandwidth.
