Summary:This paper presents an analysis of the IEEE 802.16e MAC overhead. The efficiency on the MAC layer is derived for Point to Multipoint (PMP) topology. The influence of several parameters is examined. The parameters, such as the number of subscriber stations in the network, various modulation and coding, and length of MAC PDUs, are assigned as the overhead parameter. The results show these parameters have significant impact on the efficiency of MAC layer. Finally, some recommendations to reduce the overhead are put forward.
