Dear Nitin,

The latest version of our code is available at:
http://code.nsnam.org/iamine/ns-3-wimax/
you can download it by using the following mercurial command:

hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/iamine/ns-3-wimax/

the code can be compiled  by using gcc-3.4 or gcc-4.2.

to compile the code use the following command:

CXX="gcc path" ./waf configure; ./waf

example:

CXX="/usr/bin/gcc-4.2" ./waf configure; ./waf

The following paper can help you to understand the implemented code
ftp://ftp-sop.inria.fr/rodeo/turletti/simutools09.pdf

If you have questions regarding the code or regarding the design of the 
scheduler please feel free to contact me . Here is my skype account:

Thanks,
Amine
