3. 3Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom January 2007 Doc.: IEEE802.22-07/0019r0 Slide 3 General The 802.16 Phy has been studied extensively and is suitable for fixed and nomadic scenarios including outdoor to indoor and use of BeamForming which will play a critical role in WRAN.

4. 4Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom January 2007 Doc.: IEEE802.22-07/0019r0 Slide 4 Preambles We recommend use of a single frame preamble with pilots every third SC (3 repetitions in the time domain with length of 1 OFDM symbol) This preamble which will also serve as the superframe preamble (in the first frame) will allow the following estimation mechanism: Coarse time synchronization based on the repetition property in the time domain. Coarse frequency shift (  f) estimation and fine time synchronization Adaptive channel estimation in both fixed and nomadic applications Phy Design Considerations

5. 5Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom January 2007 Doc.: IEEE802.22-07/0019r0 Slide 5 Extensive analytical and simulation studies show that all of these objectives are attainable in different and harsh environment with a single preamble symbol. Thus, obviously this preamble concept will satisfy the 802.22 requirements. DL Pilots We propose to use cluster scheme (PUSC) as the basic allocation of data within the frame. The cluster pilots will allow a robust computation and the random and time varying frequency offset which will facilitate low cost synthesizer in the CPE. We note that the use of pilots such that their union on adjacent symbols satisfies Nyquist will allow much more robust channel estimation in fixed and mobile scenarios Phy Design Considerations (Cont.)

7. 7Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom January 2007 Doc.: IEEE802.22-07/0019r0 Slide 7 UL Pilots We recommend use of PUSC scheme (Cluster) in the UL both with and without subchannel rotation. The use of cluster scheme with subchannel rotation will allow the receiver (BS) to benefit from robust channel estimation and frequency diversity. PUSC without rotation will allow a very attractive means for receive beamforming techniques that will probably be invoked in rural scenarios. The use of PUSC clusters will also ease the scheduling process since it gives every cluster the pilots it needs for adaptive channel estimation ( as UL solution tha relies on UL preambles significantly complicate the scheduler and does not retain enough pilots for Rx beamforming) Phy Design Considerations (Cont.)

Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom January 2007 Doc.: IEEE802.22-07/0019r0 Slide 8 SuperFrame Preamble The Superframe preamble shall be identical in format to the Frame preamble ( different PN sequences can be allocated to superframe and frames) Frame Preamble The first frame preamble (F0) should be eliminated in a way that the superframe preamble will act on behalf of the first frame. This will ease the computational burden which is needed in the first frame. Phy Design Considerations (Cont.)

10. 10Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom January 2007 Doc.: IEEE802.22-07/0019r0 Slide 10 PN Sequences Our recommendation is to use the PN Sequences proposed in Runcom`s contribution and used in IEEE802.16. The big advantage of these sequences presides on the fact that they have been chosen to optimize PAPR at the transmitter and have been verified through extensive simulation studies by numerous parties. Only one symbol is required for preamble Together with the proposal for identical preambles for Superframe and frames, the usage of the above mentioned PN sequences offer a large set of sequences with the important factor of simplicity of realization. For instance, the allocation of a subset of the PN sequences to Frame preamble and disjoint subset to Superframes preambles. This will allow the user to distinguish between Superframes and Frames and different set CPEs or Base Stations
