ABSTRACT
The concept of scalability was introduced to the IEEE 802.16 WirelessMAN Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access (OFDMA) mode by the 802.16 Task Group e (TGe). A scalable physical layer enables standard-based solutions to deliver optimum performance in channel bandwidths ranging from 1.25 MHz to 20 MHz with fixed subcarrier spacing for both fixed and portable/mobile usage models, while keeping the product cost low. The architecture is based on a scalable subchannelization structure with variable Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) sizes according to the channel bandwidth. In addition to variable FFT sizes, the specification supports other features such as Advanced Modulation and Coding (AMC) subchannels, Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (H-ARQ), high-efficiency uplink subchannel structures, Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) diversity, and coverage enhancing safety channels, as well as other OFDMA default features such as different subcarrier allocations and diversity schemes. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief tutorial on the IEEE 802.16 WirelessMAN OFDMA with an emphasis on scalable OFDMA.
