The main challenge in the development of future wireless communication systems is to provide users with a wide range of services across different radio access technologies through a single mobile terminal, while maintaining the quality of service requirements. WiMAX and WiFi are considered as the promising broadband access solutions for wireless MANs and LANs, respectively. In recent works WiMAX is considered suitable as a backhaul service to connect multiple dispersed WiFi ‘hotspots’. Hence a new integrated WiMAX/WiFi network has been proposed. In this paper a architecture for integrating IEEE 802.16 with IEEE 802.11 to achieve QoS is proposed. QoS parameters such as throughput, load, delay and network convergence activity are simulated through Opnet 14 for the interworking architecture of WIMAX and WLAN.
