DL/UL Burst#

To access either the downlink or uplink burst editing window:

In the tree view under Physical, click the burst you wish to edit.
or

Click Physical to display all previously added bursts in the right pane. Double-click the first column of the burst you wish to edit.

1. Physical Layer

Burst Type

This cell displays the burst type. You cannot edit this cell.

Modulation Type

Use this cell to select the modulation type. The default is QPSK.

Consecutive bursts can use modulation different than previous bursts. The standard recommends that downlink bursts should be transmitted in order of decreasing robustness, e.g., QPSK is less robust than BPSK, QAM is less robust than QPSK.

Coding Type

Use this cell to select the coding type. The default is RS-CC.

RS-CC

Data is randomized, RS-CC encoded, and interleaved according to the standard specifications.

RAW

Data is mapped to the OFDM user carriers (192 carriers per OFDM symbol) without any randomizing, encoding, or interleaving.

Coding Rate Type

Use this cell to select the coding type rate.

DIUC or UIUC

Use this cell to enter the DIUC (downlink burst) or UIUC (uplink burst) from 0 to 15. The default is 1.

OFDM Symbol Length

Use this cell to enter the number of OFDM symbols in the burst. The maximum value is determined based on Frame Duration, Bandwidth, and G (CP time) that you set in the WiMAX Parameters in Project Property.

2. Payload Data

Data Type

Click Data Type and the down arrow to access the Data Type Entry window.

Data Type

Select 4-bit data patterns, test sequences, or user-defined data for the payload data type for the MAC PDU.

User Bits Editor

Click USER to activate the User Bits Editor in the bottom half of the Data Type Entry window. Type directly into the available space, copy/paste data using Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V, import the data from a file, or create a MAC PDU sequence with the MAC PDU Editor. The maximum bit length of user data is 349,056 bytes or 2,792,448 bits.

Payload Length (Bytes)

This cell displays the length in bytes used for the modulation on the physical layer. It is coupled with Modulation Type, Coding Type, Coding Rate Type, and OFDM Symbol Length. You cannot edit this cell.
