License Mappings

The VSA software currently supports 89601C feature licenses as well as legacy licenses (e.g., 89601B). The following table illustrates the mapping between 89601C feature licenses and equivalent legacy 89601B option licenses.

Basic Vector Analysis and Hardware Connectivity	89601200C	200 + BHL (CQM)	Vector, Analog Demod, Channel Quality, Power Spectrum
Multi-vendor Hardware Connectivity	89601301C	301	Multi-vendor hardware
Digital Demodulation Analysis	89601AYAC	AYA + BHK (CustomIQ) + BHA (TEDS)	Digital Demod, TEDS, Custom IQ, GSM Global System for Mobile Communications: Originally developed as a pan-European standard for digital mobile telephony, GSM has become the world’s most widely used mobile system. It is used on the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz frequencies in Europe, Asia and Australia, and the 1900 MHz frequency in North America and Latin America./EDGE Enhanced Data for Global Evolution: A technology that gives GSMA and TDMA similar capacity to handle services for the third generation of mobile telephony. EDGE was developed to enable the transmission of large amounts of data at a high speed, 384 kilobits per second. (It increases available time slots and data rates over existing wireless networks.)/EDGE Evo, Flex Frame
3GPP Modulation Analysis	89601B7NC	B7N (B7T + B7U + B7W + B7X)	cdma2000, WCDMA, 1xEV-DO, TD-SCDMA
Wireless Connectivity Modulation Analysis	89601B7RC	B7R (11abgjp) + B7Y (WiMax)	802.11a/g/j/p OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing: OFDM employs multiple overlapping radio frequency carriers, each operating at a carefully chosen frequency that is Orthogonal to the others, to produce a transmission scheme that supports higher bit rates due to parallel channel operation. OFDM is an alternative tranmission scheme to DSSS and FHSS., 802.11b/g DSSS Direct sequence spread spectrum. The data transmission scheme (sometimes referred to as a "'modulation" scheme) used in 802.11b WLANs. DSSS uses a radio transmitter operating at a fixed centre frequency, but using a relatively broad range of frequencies, to spread data transmissions over a fixed range of the frequency band. 802.11a and 802.11g (when not operating in 802.11b mode) use Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)., 802.16 OFDM, 802.16 OFDMA

LTE/LTE-A FDD Frequency Division Duplex: A duplex scheme in which uplink and downlink transmissions use different frequencies but are typically simultaneous. Modulation Analysis	89601BHGC	BHD (LTE FDD) + BHG (LTA-A FDD)	LTE/LTE-A (FDD)
LTE/LTE-A TDD Time Division Duplex: A duplexing technique dividing a radio channel in time to allow downlink operation during part of the frame period and uplink operation in the remainder of the frame period. Modulation Analysis	89601BHHC	BHE (LTE TDD) + BHH (LTE-A TDD)	LTE/LTE-A (TDD)
DOCSIS Modulation Analysis	89601BHMC	BHM	Docsis 3.1 Upstream, Docsis 3.1 Downstream

High Throughput WLAN WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network: A system that includes the distribution system (DS), access points (APs), and portal entities. It is also the logical location of distribution and integration service functions of an extended service set (ESS). A WLAN system contains one or more APs and zero or more portals in addition to the DS. Modulation Analysis	89601BHXC, 89601BVXC	BHJ (11n/ac) + BHX (11ax)	802.11n/ac/ax

5G NR BLER Block Error Rate - A ratio of the number of erroneous blocks to the total number of blocks received on a digital circuit. Block error rate (BLER) is used for W-CDMA performance requirements tests (demodulation tests in multipath conditions, etc). BLER is measured after channel de-interleaving and decoding by evaluating the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) on each transport block. Metric	89601OR2C	---	5G NR BLER metric
