The areas of wireless communication have been
significantly challenging in the last some years. Over
time, several generations have passed to improve the
speed and capacity while maintaining an appreciable
quality of service [1]. MIMO and OFDM are two
ined technology to provide the spectral
efficiency and high data rate required for 4G wireless
system technology [1]. The major challenge faced in
OFDM systems is how to obtain the channel
state information accurately and promptly for
on of information symbols. The
communication system bandwidth demand is become
higher and higher. In order to transmit data with high
speed, the wireless communication having a high
spectral efficiency does not directly lead to
overcoming the fading. Fading may lead to the
reduction of spectral efficiency. It is very difficult to
match these requests for the traditional modulation
technique, but the MIMO-OFDM system combines
the OFDM and MIMO technologies to meet these
requirements [2, 3]. MIMO wireless
have been renowned as a key technology for future
wireless communications. The performance of MIMO
system can be enhanced by using multiple antennas at
transmitting and receiving side to provide spatial
diversity [4].

scientists and engineers felt the need of having a
wireless Internet access and other broadband services
which works well everywhere specifically
areas or in those areas where it is hard to establish
wired infrastructure and economically not feasible.

broadband and included mobile broadband
application. WiMAX forum, a private organization
was formed in June 2001 to coordinate the
components and develop the equipment those will be
compatible and inter operable. After several years, in
2007, Mobile WiMAX equipment developed with the
standard IEEE 802.16e got the certification and they
announced to release the product in 2008, providing
mobility access. The IEEE 802.16e air interface based
on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
(OFDMA) which main aim is to give better
performance in non-line-of-sight environments. The
mobile WiMAX Fig.1[5], is a technology based on
IEEE 802.16 standard [6] developed as a feasible and
attractive solution to these problems.

II. MIMO- OFDM
A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
communication system combined with the orthogonal
frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation
technique can achieve reliable high data rate
transmission over broadband wireless channels.
OFDM is techniques to digital encode data on the
multiple-frequencies. It is widely used in wireless
communication networking, Video, audio
broadcasting, TV, wireless networks and 4G [7, 8].
OFDM plays a major role in both for wireless and
wired communications. It started in the 1870 when it
was used to carry the information via multiple
channels using a telegram [7, 8]. Among many
possible technologies for the secondary users’
transmission in the spectrum pooling systems, OFDM
has already been widely recognized as a particularly
novel candidate. This is mainly due to its great
flexibility in dynamically allocating the unused
spectrum among secondary users as well as its ability
to monitor the spectral activities of the licensed users
at no extra cost [11, 12, 13].
OFDM divides the high-rate stream into parallel
lower rate data and hence prolongs the symbol
duration, thus helping to eliminate Inter Symbol
Interference (ISI). It also allows the bandwidth of
subcarriers to overlap without Inter Carrier
Interference (ICI) as long as the modulated carriers
are orthogonal. OFDM therefore is considered as an
efficient modulation technique for broadband access
in a very dispersive environment. DAB (Digital Audio
Broadcasting), High Definition TV, Wireless LANs,
Mobile broadband [7].
 IEEE 802.16: It operates in licensed spectrum of
2Ghz to11 Ghz.
 IEEE 802.20: It operates below 3.5 GHz in the
licensed band.
 Up to 155 miles/ h speed [7, 10].

After inserting pilots either to all subcarriers with a specific period of blocks or within a uniform period of
frequency bins in all blocks, IDFT block is used to transform the data sequence of length into time domain
signal with the following equation 1.

Spatial multiplexing Gain: the transmission of multiple data streams over more than one antenna is called
spatial multiplexing. The advantage of spatial multiplexing is linear capacity gains in relation to the number of
transmit antennas. This gain, referred to as spatial multiplexing gain, is realized by transmitting independent
data signals from the individual antennas [14]. Spatial diversity gain: spatial diversity improves the signal
quality and achieves a higher signal to noise ratio at the receiver side. Signal power in a wireless channel
fluctuates randomly or fades. Diversity is a powerful technique to mitigate fading in wireless links. Consider a
space time block coded MIMO-OFDM system [15] equipped with transmit antennas and receive antennas as
illustrated in Figure 4.

III. MODULATION
Modulation is the process of facilitating the transfer
of information over a medium. Sound transmission in
air has limited range for the amount of power your
lungs can generate. To extend the range your voice
reach, we need to transmit it through a medium other
than air, such as a phone line or radio. The process of
converting information (voice in the case) so that it
can be successfully sent through a medium (wire or
radio waves) is called modulation.
IV. CHANNEL ESTIMATION
When a signal containing audio or video is
transmitted through the air medium or wireless
medium to the receiver (Rx), some of its
characteristics are changed due to present noise and
interference in the atmosphere[9]. This distorted
signal is unable to provide useful information; some
of these characteristics are change like frequency,
amplitude and Phase. A wideband radio channel is
normally time variant and Frequency selective. For an
OFDM communication system, the channel
transferred at different subcarriers appears in the
receiver with unequal frequency and time domains.
Therefore, dynamic estimation of the signal is
necessary [7, 9].
V. PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
To analyze the performance of WiMAX (OFDM-
systems) based on the different simulation parameters
consider and obtain simulation results. We
investigated the BER V/s SNR plot by using AWGN
channel. The performance of WiMAX model analysis
on used the following parameters as shown in table 1

VI. CONCLUSION
The WiMAX technology is a broadband wireless data
communications technology based around the IEEE
802.16 standard providing high speed data over a
wide area. In this performance result is shown in
figure 5, we have used the Alamouti scheme with
communication AWGN channel and different
modulation techniques. The performance is displayed
in terms of the BER verses SNR logarithmic plot.
