Frame and Burst Plots

Frame Plot

Clicking on a Carrier in the Closedtree view displays a group of plots at the bottom of the current window. Clicking the Frame tab displays the Frame Plot View, that shows a block diagram of how the frame components fit on a time axis. The frame plot displayed depends on the frame duration, output mode, and the downlink ratio that you set in the Waveform Setup node. As you add zones or change the parameters for a zone, the display changes accordingly.

The frame plot view includes the following graphical features:

Burst Plot

For any carrier configured as 802.16 OFDMA Advanced, clicking any zone in the Closedtree view  displays the burst allocation for that zone to the right of the frame plot. The grid displays the bursts with the number of subchannels (frequency) on the vertical axis and number of symbols (time) along the horizontal axis. The burst display (shown below) represents the data region that can be transmitted in the downlink by a base station to a subscriber station or in the uplink to the base station.
