Menu Path: MeasSetup > IEEE 802.16 OFDMA Demod Properties > Format tab

 Default: 0 (See OFDMA Standard Presets Table.)

(applies to Downlink only)

The Segment parameter specifies which Downlink segment is analyzed. The Preamble Index value and the subframe Downlink Override Preamble Definition setting determines what IDCell value is used by the VSA.

The downlink can be divided into a three segment structure 0, 1, or 2. The Segment parameter determines how the preambles and pilot tones are defined and how subchannel renumbering occurs for burst analysis of a DL Down Link (forward link: from base station to cell phone)-PUSC partial usage of subchannels: Some of the subchannels are allocated to the transmitter. zone. Only one segment can be analyzed at a time.
