       The  Network  Simulator  (ns-2)  is  a  popular  tool  for  the 
       simulation  of  computer  networks  which  provides substantial
       support for simulation of the Internet protocols over wired and
       wireless  networks.  Although  some  modules for WiMAX networks
       simulation  have  been  proposed  for  the  ns-2,  none of them
       implements  all  MAC  features  specified  by  the  IEEE 802.16
       standard  for  bandwidth management and QoS support. This paper
       presents  the design and validation of an WiMAX module based on
       the  IEEE  802.16  standard.  The  implemented  module includes
       mechanisms for bandwidth request and allocation, as well as for
       QoS     provision.     Moreover     the    implementation    is   
       standard-compliant.
