    measurement purposesNetwork Performance Analysis
    environment
    The measurement device is an Apple Macbook Pro with Intel 
        Core 2 Duo CPU T8300, 2G RAM, and Nvidia 8800GT graphic card.
        The Macbook is equipped with a USB dongle based WiMAX network interface
        card (NIC). Also the XRO7000 Diagnostic Monitor from the XRONet is
        used in order to capture low layer behaviors of WiMAX. For higherlayer 
        measurement, tcpdump-based Wireshark and TCPTrace are used.
    methodology
    In order to comprehensively evaluate WoW performance via WiMAX, three 
        routes in Seoul were chosen:
 
        1) subway: subway line 2, one of the most popular metro lines in Seoul.
        In the subway line 2, one WiMAX BS is deployed at almost every 
        subway station, and one or more repeaters are installed along the 
        subway tunnel between adjacent stations to enhance the radio signal 
        between SSs and BSs. Hence, whenever, he subway trains moves across 
        between two stations, there should be HO(s).

        2) bus: bus 501 from Seoul National University (SNU) to Seoul Railway 
        Station; this route passes by a few university campuses, several 
        apartment complexes, one tunnel, the Han River bridge, shopping malls, 
        etc. While the bus goes through the Seoul metropolitan area, the SS 
        inside the bus performs HOs among BSs. 

        3) Campus: the WoW performance is measured inside the SNU campus, where
        only one BS and a few repeaters cover the entire area.
    sanitization
    The payload was cutoff by resampling (tcpreplay and 
        tcpdump), and the header was anonymized by tcprewrite.

    abstract
    Online games have been played mainly over wired networks due to high speed 
links and capable desktop computers. The advances in mobile devices and ever 
increasing wireless link bandwidth motivate us to study whether players can 
enjoy online gaming over broadband wireless networks such as mobile WiMAX 
networks. In this paper we carry out the World of Warcraft (WoW) measurements 
via the mobile WiMAX networks and analysis the performance. We focus on two 
aspects: (1) application level packet dynamics such as RTT and jitter; (2) 
WiMAX link level statistics such as wireless link quality and handovers. We 
measure various scenarios for comprehensive analysis of WoW traffic and WiMAX 
link-layer characteristics. Finally we discuss how to improve the service 
quality of WiMAX online gaming.
