Two options exist for using the WiMAX Model.

The first is to use the included ns3-10-allinone-wimax2.tar.gz file, first extract, then run ./build.py, then the model can be found in contrib/wimax2 (or by including "ns3/wimax2-model.h" in a script).  For detail on how to write scripts, see the reference wmdemo.cc in the scratch directory, and generally ns3 tutorial information at www.nsnam.org

For more detailed documentation of the model, see the included NS-3 Simulation of WiMAX Networks thesis, Chapter 4.

The alternate method for using this model is to manually insert the files into the correct location as described in the Manual Installation Files directory.  These instructions should allow the model to be used in newer versions of NS-3, though the directory structure may change slightly in future releases, making the README file inaccurate.

NS-3 has several dependencies, which are detailed for various platforms on the NS-3 website, www.nsnam.org.  The WiMAX Model has no dependencies beyond those of NS-3 (and, of course, NS-3 itself).  For Mac OS X Installations, I have found that the MacPorts package management system works better than Fink for the packages needed here.
