Allocation Summary (Custom OFDM)

The Allocation Summary grid lists details about the configured frame allocations.

Index indicates the priority of the allocation. Lower numbers indicate higher priority (0 is highest). You can adjust the priority of an allocation by clicking one of the Move buttons to the right of the Allocation Summary list.

Enabled enables or disables the analysis of an allocation. At least one is always enabled. If you try to disable all of them, the first allocation will be automatically enabled.

Default: Enabled

Name Indicates the frame part and allocation, expressed as "FramePartName_AllocationName."

Symbols Indicates the symbols that are assigned per allocation. Symbol assignments are determined by the Location parameters and the index of the allocation. If two allocations overlap, the symbol is assigned to the allocation with the lower index.

Default: None

Subcarriers Indicates the subcarriers that are assigned per allocation. Subcarrier assignments are determined by the Location parameters and the index of the allocation. If two allocations overlap, the subcarrier is assigned to the allocation with the lower index.

Default: None

Type Indicates allocation Type.

Default: Data

Modulation Indicates the allocation's Modulation format.

Default: BPSK Binary phase shift keying - A type of phase modulation using 2 distinct carrier phases to signal ones and zeros.

Resource Allocation Diagram Displays a color-coded visual representation of the resource allocations. The legend to the right of the diagram shows the color coding of the Data, Pilot, Preamble and Idle parts of the frame. Hovering over the diagram will display a tooltip with Subcarrier Index, Symbol Index, User ID and Channel Type information at the cursor location.

The Resource Allocation Diagram is also displayed on the Format tab.
