WiMAX is a technology which provides a mobile access for both fixed and mobile users. Such type of broadband services are coming up quite fast because it provides freedom to be online anywhere, with other significant facilities such as large bandwidth, using a variety of mobile etc. the initial version of WiMAX was IEEE 802.16 for fixed users and nomadic access, later the improved version of WiMAX known as mobile WiMAX, IEEE 802.16e become a popular standard. This paper enlights the fact related to IEEE 802.16e when used with two routing DSR &FSR. Here, the performance of two wireless routing protocols DSR (reactive routing protocol) and fisheye state routing (Hierarchical routing protocol) has been compared for Mobile WiMAX. From simulation it was found that DSR protocol outperforms Fisheye in IEEE 802.16e under different performance parameters.

Keywords: WiMAX, DSR, FSR Performance parameters and QUALNET 6.1.
