QOS is a different part of the network stack, so yes, WiMAX can in principle have it.
Yes. WiMAX will support very robust QOS capabilities up to and incorporating asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) quality. WiMAX technology supports a variety of more efficient polling mechanisms that vendors and carriers can choose to use, including a defined contact cycle, grouping of radios into contact groups or even allowing customer radios to generate a brief signal indicating it needs a transmission cycle. All of these aspects, which are intended to solve multiple problems, also result in improved QOS capabilities. QOS is critical for delineating minimum bandwidth levels for VoIP sessions for example, as well as other leading edge IP services.
