Preamble Modulation (1/2)

Outline
The first symbol of the downlink is the preamble Preamble subcarriers are modulated using boosted BPSK by a specific preamble PN code in each cell Used for initial cell search, acquisition, and synchronization

Preamble PN code
Number of PN codes: 114 A preamble PN code contains information of IDcell and segment number

Preamble Modulation (2/2)

Preamble is associated with IDcell & segment
Preamble PN index has the following relationship with IDcell & segment
For PN index 0 ~ 95
PN index = segment 32 + IDcell

For PN index 96 ~ 113

PN index = 96 + IDcell segment = IDcell modulo 3

There are three carrier sets for preamble

Preamble occupies one of the three carrier set Segment determines carrier set in which preamble is transmitted

Importance of Preamble PN code

In case of PN code duplication
If adjacent cells use the same preamble PN code, the initial cell search and acquisition can be impossible

Association with IDcell and segment number

Once a mobile detects preamble, it can extract IDcell and segment of the cell from the preamble Preamble PN code allocation should consider IDcell and segment

Subcarrier Randomization (Scrambling) (1/2)

Outline
Purpose of Subcarrier Randomization
The constellation of modulation is randomized by a cell specific PRBS (pseudo random binary sequence)

Polynomial for PRBS generator is X11 + X9 + 1 Initial vector of PRBS is determined by

Downlink: IDcell (or DL_PermBase) and segment number (or PRBS_ID) Uplink: IDcell and Frame number

b0b4: IDcell in the 1st DL zone DL_PermBase in other DL zones IDcell in UL

b5b6: segment + 1 in the first DL zone PRBS_ID in other DL zones 0b11 (all ones) in UL b7b10: 0b1111 (all ones) in DL four LSB of Frame Number in UL

Subcarrier Randomization (Scrambling) (2/2)

Number of PRBS
Downlink: 96 (32 IDcell or DL_PermBase 3 segment or PRBS_ID) Uplink: depends on the Frame number operation scheme
512 PRBS possible Number of uplink PRBS may reduce to 32 if frame number is synchronized among cells

Importance of subcarrier randomization

In case of PRBS duplication
If adjacent cells use the same PRBS, their randomization pattern becomes identical Thus, pilot estimation can be seriously damaged

Ranging code generation (1/2)

Outline
Ranging
Mobile performs ranging for initial access, handover, and BW request Contention based ranging with cell specific ranging codes

Ranging code
Each cell generates 256 ranging codes according to PRBS generator Polynomial for PRBS generator is X15 + X7 + X4 + X1 + 1 Initial vector of PRBS is determined by
001011 + UL_PermBase

Ranging code generation (2/2)

Number of PRBS
70 (UL_PermBase)

Importance of ranging code generation

In case of PRBS duplication
If adjacent cells use the same PRBS, their ranging codes set becomes identical When a mobile tries ranging to a cell, another cell may hear the ranging code and respond System malfunction may occur

Subchannel Permutation (1/2)

Outline
Each subchannel is composed of 48 data subcarriers
Subcarriers are randomly selected from the pool of subcarriers in order to minimize subchannel collision between cells

Subchannel permutation determines the rule of subcarrier mapping to subchannel

Subchannel permutation in Downlink FUSC

subcarrier(k,s): subcarrier index of subcarrier k in subchannel s nk ps : defined in IEEE 802.16e standard Nsubchannels : depends on FFT size

DL_PermBase (or IDcell) determines subchannel permutation rule Number of DL_PermBase (or IDcell): 32
However, effective number of subcarrier permutation depends on FFT size Effective permutation of FUSC is 16 in 1024 FFT (since Nsubchannels = 16)

Subchannel Permutation (2/2)

Subchannel permutation in Uplink PUSC

Tile(s, n) : tile index of subcarrier n in subchannel s Pt : defined in IEEE 802.16e standard Nsubchannels: depends on FFT size

UL_PermBase determines subchannel permutation rule Number of UL_PermBase: 70

However, effective number of subcarrier permutation depends on FFT size Effective permutation of PUSC is 35 in 1024 FFT (since Nsubchannels = 35)

Importance of subchannel permutation

In case of Permutation duplication
If adjacent cells use the same subchannel permutation, packet error may increase due to the subchannel collision between cells

Design Principle (1/2)

Parameters to be designed
Preamble PN code index IDcell Segment DL_PermBase UL_PermBase PRBS_ID

Design Principle
Reuse distance should be maximized for every parameter Preamble PN code, IDcell, and segment number should be considered concurrently
Preamble PN code contains IDcell and segment IDcell and segment has significance on WiBro system

DL_PermBase and PRBS_ID is similar with IDcell and segment UL_PermBase is independent of other parameters

Design Principle (2/2)

Issues
IDcell
IDcell is not RAS parameter, but sector parameter Sectors of the same RAS must have different IDcell

Segment
Sectors of the same RAS is recommended to have different segment

DL_PermBase
Consideration of effective number of DL_PermBase is recommended

UL_PermBase
UL_PermBase is recommended to have difference value from IDcell It reduces damage of IDcell duplication or UL_PermBase duplication between adjacent sectors
