Beam Forming, Null Steering, and SDMA
• Selecting the weights correctly allows transmitter (receiver) to steer the energy toward a receiver (or listen in the “direction” of a transmitter). This is called beam forming
• In selecting the weights, transmitter can also steer energy away from unintended receivers (or not listen in the direction of interfering transmitters). This is called null steering.
• Beam forming can be used to extend range
• Null steering can be used to mitigate interference from other sectors
• Beam forming and null steering can be used to implement SDMA, where multiple SSs within a sector transmit/receive on the same subchannels at the same time.

Channel Rejection
• Measured by setting transmitting power 3dB larger than the minimum receiver sensitivity
• Adjacent channel rejection– Conforming OFDMA signal
– At least 11 dB power above than desired signal when 16-QAM-3/4
– At least 4 dB power above than desired signal when 64-QAM-2/3
• Non-adjacent rejection– Any channel other than adjacent channel or co-channel
– At least 30 dB power above than desired signal when 16-QAM-3/4
– At least 23 dB power above than desired signal when 64-QAM-2/3
• BER < 10-6

AAS Support
• Indicated by IEs in the DL and UL broadcast maps• AAS zone
– A contiguous block of OFDMA symbols
– Defined preamble structure
– May contain an optional Diversity-Map scan zone (D-Msz) • Used only with FFT size larger than or equal to 512 • Used to transmit AAS-DLFP
• AAS frame structure– Consists of subchannels
– PUSC, FUSC, oFUSC permutation• Two highest numbered subchannels of DL frame may contain D-Msz
– AMC permutation• The first and last numbered subchannels of AAS DL zone may contain D-Ms
z• A 2 bin by 3 symbol tile structure is used

AAS Support
– In a given AMC subchannel, the beam pattern for all pilot and data subcarriers is the same
– In a PUSC permutation, the SS assume the major group is beamformed• Channel may very slowly over the zone

Optional Diversity-Map scan
• AAS-DLFP (Down Link Frame Prefix)– A robust transmission of the required BS parameters
• Enable SS initial ranging• SS paging and access allocation
– QPSK-1/2, 2 repetitions
– Start with an AAS DL preamble
– Specified the permutation of AAS UL Zone
– May, but need not carry the same information
– Supports the ability to transmit a compressed DL-MAP IE
– Not randomized

AAS Network Entry
• AAS-SS synchronizes frame timing and frequency by DL preamble• If decoding of broadcast map fails, search for AAS-DLFP over
several permutations• The SS may receive DCD and UCD pointed from AAS-DLFP• Perform initial ranging using information from DCD and UCD, where
the ranging interval is pointed by AAS-DLFP• Wait the ranging response• Normal operation

AAS Preambles
• AAS preambles– Training information in both UL and DL AAS zone
– Preceding all data allocation and AAS DLFP in AAS zone
– Length is specified in the AAS_DL_IE and AAS-DLFP
– Either time or frequency shifted
• AAS DL preamble– Preamble length of AAS-DLFP is 1 symbol duration
– In PUSC permutation, preamble length is 0 or 2 symbols
• AAS UL preamble– The first Uplink_preamble_config symbols are reserved for UL AAS prea
mbles
– Inserted at the start of an UL data allocation by 3 symbol duration

AAS DL Preamble
• Formed by concatenating the original preamble sequence
• The length of basic preamble is Nused bits
• BPSK modulation• DC carrier shall not be modulated• A subset of the basic preamble is used for burst
Proprietary of NTHU Communication SOC Lab, Copyright @ 2006
AAS UL Preamble
• The basic preamble is the same as AAS DL preamble• A subset of the basic preamble is used for burst• Preamble power level when lower bound < C/N < upper bound
otherwise

Preamble Shift
• Time shift
• Frequency shift
K = [AAS_beam_index (mod 14)]*Nfft/14 for PUSCK = [AAS_beam_index (mod 14)]*Nfft/9 for AMC

STC Using 2 Antennas
• STC may be used on the downlink to provide higher order diversity– 2 transmit antennas on BS
– 1 reception antenna on SS
– Similarly maximal ratio combining (MRC)
• Transmit two different OFDMA symbol in the same time
Proprietary of NTHU Communication SOC Lab, Copyright @ 2006
STC Encoding
• Antenna: A0,A1
• Channel vector: h0, h1
• Transmission complex symbol: s1, s2
– First transmission : A0 for s1, A1 for s2
– Second transmission : A0 for –s2*, A1 for s1
*
• The estimates benefit from second order diversity as in 1Tx-2Rx MRC scheme
• May be used both in PUSC and FUSC configurations
Proprietary of NTHU Communication SOC Lab, Copyright @ 2006
STC2 in PUSC
• The data allocation to cluster is slightly modified– STC encoding is done on each pair of symbols 2n, 2n+1 (n = 0,1,..)

STC2 in FUSC• Pilot for even symbol
– A0: Variable set #0 and Constant set #0
– A1: Variable set #1 and Constant set #1
• Pilot for odd symbol
– A0: Variable set #1 and Constant set #0
– A1: Variable set #0 and Constant set #1

Frequency Hopping Diversity Coding
• The downlink preamble shall be transmitted for the duration of one OFDMA symbol from Antenna 0
• Transmission complex symbol: s1, s2
• Antenna: A0,A1
– A0: transmits mapped carriers for subchannel X(s1) onto subchannel X, and mapped carriers for subchannel X+1(s2) onto subchannel X+1
– A1: transmits mapped carriers for subchannel X(-s2*) onto subchannel X,
and mapped carriers for subchannel X+1(s1*) onto subchannel X+1

Uplink Using STC (1/2)
• A user-supporting transmission using STC configuration in the uplink– 2-transmit diversity data (STTD mode)
– 2-transmit spatial multiplexing data (SM mode)
– Mandatory tile structure shall be used with modification
Proprietary of NTHU Communication SOC Lab, Copyright @ 2006
Uplink Using STC (2/2)
• STTD mode– The tiles shall be allocated to subchannels and the data subcarriers enu
merated
– data subcarriers shall be encoded in pairs
• SM mode (subcarrier)– Two single transmit antenna SS’s can perform collaborative spatial multi
plexing onto the same subcarrier
– A single user having two antennas may do UL spatial multiplexing• Horizontal coding - 2 bursts concurrently• Vertical coding - 1 burst (2 slots) concurrently
• SM mode (subchannel)– one SS should use the uplink tile with pattern-A while the other uses B
– Two dual antenna SS• one SS should use the uplink tile with the pilot pattern A, B• one SS should use the uplink tile with the pilot pattern C, D
Proprietary of NTHU Communication SOC Lab, Copyright @ 2006
STC2 Enhancement
• Using 4 antennas– 2 are used in order to transmit each symbol
– 2 transmit the same signal with a complex multiplication
– Antenna weights may be changed by BS with SS information using feedback channel (CQI channel)
– No change of the estimation process
