A WiMAX radio resource allocation (WRA) problem is investigated in the context of IPTV broadcasting over mobile WiMAX multicast, broadcast services (MBS) channels. The goal is to maximize quality of services, in terms of number of subscribers served, number of IPTV channels carried, and perceived vi...
