Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), which is also known as IEEE 802. 16 standards, supports last-mile broadband access wireless networks. WiMAX technology uses a number of scheduling techniques in the Medium Access Control layer, which is responsible for the utilization of available resources in the networks and distribute them among users in order to ensure the desired quality of service. In this work, the performance of Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) scheduling algorithm is evaluated to attain Quality of Service (QoS). The weight is assigned for a different service depends on the percentage of bandwidth utilization and priority of services. The proposed scheduling algorithm has designed and simulated using MatLab. The performance is evaluated with the other existing scheduling algorithm like First In First Out (FIFO), Priority queuing (PQ) and Weighted Round Robin (WRR).
