802.16d PHY - Overview
Fixed WiMAX (802.16d) PHY - Overview
- The purpose of the PHY is the physical transport of data
 - Framing mechanism supports adaptive burst profiling.
 - TDD & FDD Duplexing configuration are supported for efficient spectrum usage.
 - Modulation & coding may be adjusted individually to each SS on frame by frame basis.
 - FDD supports full duplex SSs as well as half duplex SSs
 - Downlink PHY includes Transmission Convergence Sublayer that inserts a pointer at beginning of payload to help receiver to identify the beginning of a MAC PDU.
 - Data bits coming from Transmission Convergence Sublayer are randomized, FEC encoded, and map to QPSK, 16QAM or 64QAM constellation.
