Opnet Wimax Model Features: Model Feature Description Mac Messages

The document summarizes the key features of the OPNET WiMAX network model, including support for MAC layer messages, scheduling services, ARQ, packet loss modeling, bandwidth allocation, mobility, ranging, QoS, physical layer effects, convergence sublayer, and broadcast/multicast traffic. It notes that while many features are implemented, some such as power management and adaptive burst profiles are not currently supported by the model.
