Communication equipment generates and stores large amounts of data. In the last years the topics of self-similarity and long-range dependence (LRD) in communication networks has become a very popular research domain. The analysis of real data challenged the engineers as well as the researchers so LRD has become more and more used in data analysis. The theoretical goal of this paper is to highlight the particularities of WiMAX traffic from a LRD perspective. Its practical goal is to analyze the positioning of base stations in the architecture of a WiMAX network. The results show which base stations have a good localization in the topology of the network and which have not. These base stations must be repositioned when the next session of network maintenance will take place.
