Introduction: Research Aims & Objectives

 

 

The aim of this research paper is to study about the threats to WiMAX and propose the enhancement ideas and techniques to overcome the problems mentioned above in the previous section.  This will definitely give me knowledge about how the WiMAX network works and how we can integrate the WiMAX with the older version of WiFi. This report will also gives benefit to the service providers of the WiMAX and help them to maintain the network and also in deployment of the WiMAX to make it more secure, robust and give customer more reliable service.

 

As far as difficulties is concerned about this dissertation I am not saying that its easy to make enhancement in this area of WiMAX, but this investigation will definitely give me knowledge and power to face any other challenge comes in my career and studies.

 

The expected problem in this dissertation would be the research about the solution to the problem of the X.509 certificate for WiMAX or any other proposed certificate for subscriber station to protect the user and network of service provider. In this research I would not be able to meet the people that are directly working in that context and also I personally think that university have not got such type of personnel in the technical department to discuss and exchange ideas about my research. But I am sure I will get the guidance from the faculty and from the research paper supervisor to assist me in this part of challenging task.

 

The overall objectives of this research paper are.
