Although some modules for WiMAX networks simulation have been proposed for the ns-2, none of them implements all MAC features specified by the IEEE 802.16 standard for bandwidth management and QoS support. This paper presents the design and validation of an WiMAX module based on the IEEE 802.16 standard. The implemented module includes mechanisms for bandwidth request and allocation, as well as for QoS provision. Moreover the implementation is standard-compliant. } }
