  4. Subscriber Station Base Station Scope of 802.16a (2/3) • 802.16a is an IEEE Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks (MAN), and specifies an air interface for fixed broadband wireless access systems operating between 2 to 11 GHz. • 802.16a defined 3 non-interoperable PHYs : Single Carrier、OFDM and OFDMA. The MAC is TDMA or FDMA.

  14. Coarse Symbol Boundary Detection (1/3) Guard Interval Short Preamble Guard Interval Long Preamble PN Sequence period = 64 PN Sequence period = 128 64 64 64 64 128 128 Signal Detection, AGC, …… • Since the first several samples are used for Signal detection, AGC, ……, we can not sure how many periods(64 samples) of short preamble can be used for symbol boundary detection. • Assume that we can get at least 2 complete periods of short preamble.

  15. Normalized CFO Coarse Symbol Boundary Detection (2/3) • We can simply use delay correlator to detect the reception of short preamble. From [1], we compute the following equations: • Where rn is the received signal, P(d) is the delay correlator of length L (for our case, L=64 ), R(d) is the power sum of L consecutive received samples, M(d) is the delay correlator normalized by R(d). • The reason of computing M(d) is that, from [1], we have So we can estimate SNR by computing this equation. (doptis the optimum position for M(d). )

  16. Fine Symbol Boundary Detection and Integer Part CFO Acquisition Fine Symbol Boundary Detection and Integer part CFO Acquisition

  17. Need Integer part CFO Acquisition Fine Symbol Boundary Detection and Integer Part CFO Acquisition (1/3) • For 802.16a, MAX CFO = 10.68GHz * ±4ppm = 85.44KHz ≒12.5*(minimum Subcarrier spacing 6.84KHz) • For 802.16a, CFO can be derived from the following equation: Sample time Subcarrier spacing Fractional part CFO Integer part CFO • If CFO=3.2 ∆f，Phase of P(d) will be 2πx 0.8 = 1.6π= -0.4π (∵tan-1 lies in (-π,π] ) • ∴0.5πx (ef + ei ) = -0.4π, we have (ef + ei ) = -0.8 ∆f, so we compensate 0.8 ∆f • So the total CFO will be 3.2+0.8=4 ∆f

  18. Fine Symbol Boundary Detection and Integer Part CFO Acquisition (2/3) • Therefore, for CFO lies in [-2,2] ∆f, we compensate it to 0 ∆f and for CFO lies in [2,6] ∆f, we compensate it to 4 ∆f, and so on… • The following figure illustrates the compensation of fractional CFO : • Since for 802.16a, the Maximum CFO can be ±12.5 ∆f, the resulting Integer part CFO can be {-12,-8,-4,0,4,8,12} ∆f • We adopt correlator bank with 7 sets of correlator to find the correct integer part CFO.

  19. Fine Symbol Boundary Detection and Integer Part CFO Acquisition (3/3) • The procedure of Symbol Boundary Detection and CFO Estimation is： (i) Compute Normalized Delay Correlation M(d) and its moving average with length equals to guard interval. (ii) Find the peak of the moving average, and from the phase of its corresponding delay correlation, we find the Fractional CFO. (iii) When the moving Average drops to half of the peak value，we set the position 128 samples right to the peak position as the Coarse Symbol Boundary (iv) Start finding Fine Symbol Boundary at the position of ±16 samples from Coarse Symbol Boundary. (v) Use Long Preamble Correlator Bank at the searching window. The set with peak occurs indicates the correct Integer part CFO, and the peak position is then the Fine symbol boundary. (vi) To handle the situation that “The first path is not the strongest path”, we use a threshold to find the peak. The threshold is set to be the “half of R(d)”, which is half of the power sum of 64 consecutive received samples.

  22. Tracking Residual CFO---WLS Estimator, LPF,NCO De- rotator NCO LPF WLS Estimator

  23. WLS Estimation • According to the Spec of 802.16a [2] , there’s only 1 oscillator in the receiver. Therefore, we can adopt the Joint WLSE method [3] to find the residual CFO and TFO. [4] WLSE Block Diagram

  24. C1 X Input Output X C2 D Low Pass Filter (1/2) • From [5], we adopt the PI control LPF. Its transfer function is • We can adjust the values of C1 and C2 to make a trade-off between convergence speed and jitter. • The block diagram of LPF is shown below:

  25. Low Pass Filter (2/3) Without AWGN C1=0.5, C2=0.5 Without AWGN C1=0.5, C2=0.25 Without AWGN C1=0.5, C2=0.125 Without AWGN C1=0.25, C2=0.125 best

  26. Low Pass Filter (3/3) • Simulation under SUI-3, CFO= -12.5∆f, C1=0.25,C2=0.125, Residual CFO= -0.05∆f LPF Output LPF Output SNR=12dB SNR = 20dB

  27. Pilot Extraction, FEQ and Slicer Slicer FEQ Pilot Extraction

  28. Simulation Result • Simulation under SUI-3, SNR=25dB, CFO= -0.68352 ∆f, Residual CFO=0.05 ∆f, 16QAM, 500 OFDM Symbol transmitted ( 384,000 data bits ), BER=4.87x10-3 Pilots are modulated with BPSK

  29. Tracking TFO---Scaling, Integrator, and Interpolator Interpolator Integrator Scaling

  30. Scaling CFO to get TFO • Since we have only 1 oscillator in receiver, we have • If the total estimated CFO is e ,we can get TFO (d) by scaling e, i.e. • For 802.16a with ETSI channelization, we have the following 5 cases when TFO is fixed to -8ppm.

  31. Interpolator (1/4) • We use Farrow Structure piecewise parabolic Interpolator to resample signal.

  32. Interpolator (2/4) • If TFO < 0, i.e. Receiver clock period < Transmitter clock period)

  33. Interpolator (3/4) • If TFO > 0, i.e. Receiver clock period > Transmitter clock period)

  34. If TFO < 0 and mk Overflows If TFO > 0 and mk Overflows Interpolator (4/4) • We can modify our interpolator as shown below : Shift Registers mk not Overflow yet

  35. Encountered Problem… • Since we use Farrow structure to model the effect of TFO, and compensate TFO, the imperfect property of Farrow structure become serious especially when mk ≈ 0.5 mk≈ 0.5 mk≈ 0 mk≈1

  36. Conclusion and Future Work • Several blocks of 802.16a Transceiver have been introduced. • The receiver seems work fine under SUI 1~6 with CFO exists. • However, the way we model TFO seems not ideal enough, and we can’t have good performance when TFO exists. • The short-term job is to find an appropriate way to model TFO. • Up-sampling or Using other kind of interpolator • Other jobs including outer transceiver (in C++), other imperfect channel effect, and OFDMA mode……
