ABSTRACT
Due to fast development of technology, future communication and transmission are totally depends upon wireless
network. Wireless networks are generally less efficient and irregular compared to wired networks, which make quality
of service (QoS) provision a bigger challenge for wireless communications. The wireless medium has limited bandwidth,
higher packet error rate, and higher packet overheads that in total to limit the capacity of the network to offer guaranteed
QoS. In response to the increasing QoS challenge in wireless networks, researchers have made significant modifications
in Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) in the legacy IEEE 802.11 standards to make possible QoS to end users. The design
constraints at several layers of the IEEE 802.11 restrict its capacity to deliver guaranteed QoS. Recently, the IEEE 802.16
standard, also known as worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), has emerged as the strongest
contender for broadband wireless technology with promises to give guaranteed QoS to wireless application end users
over wifi wireless technology. This paper tries to explain the architectural performance issues of WiMax over WiFi
wireless communication in the term of wireless network design and management which upgrading the upcoming wireless
communication technology over a wide region.
