In this exercise non-sector antennas and centralised<br />
mode are considered only (i.e. PDU train<br />
2 and 6 are not considered). The structures of the<br />
different PDU trains are shown in Figure 6.<br />
4.1.1 Broadcast PDU Train<br />
The preamble of the BCH is 4 OFDM symbols<br />
(16 µs). P BCH = 4.<br />
The BCH has a fixed length of 15 bytes, and<br />
uses always PHY mode 1, i.e. 5 OFDM symbols:<br />
LBCH = 15<br />
3 =5<br />
(3)<br />
The FCH is built on fixed size IE (Information<br />
Elements) blocks. The AP determines the number<br />
of blocks. Each IE block contains three<br />
information elements with a length of 8 octets<br />
and a CRC of length 24 bits. The FCH length<br />
equals:<br />

N DBPS is data bits per OFDM symbol<br />
n is the number of active connections (duplex).<br />
The minimum length of the L FCH for non-sector<br />
antennas is 9 OFDM symbols (36 µs). The ACH<br />
has a fixed length of 9 bytes (uses always PHY<br />
1 mode)<br />
LACH = 9<br />
3 =3<br />
The overall size of the broadcast train is:<br />
L BPT = P BCH + L BCH + L FCH + L ACH<br />

4.1.2 Downlink PDU Train<br />
The downlink and uplink PDU trains consist of<br />
Short Channel (SCH) and Long Channel (LCH)<br />
PDUs. The SCH PDU is 9 bytes long and carries<br />
DLC control information such as ARQ acknowledgements<br />
and resource request for next frame<br />
(uplink only). The LCH PDU is 54 bytes long,<br />
where 48 bytes are allocated to the payload and<br />
the rest is used for DLC header.<br />
The preamble of the Downlink PDU train is<br />
2 OFDM symbols. MTs might have a number<br />
of SCHs and LCHs per frame. The size of the<br />
downlink PDU train excluding the LCH PDUs is<br />

where<br />
k = number of active users<br />
J m = number of SCH PDUs for user m.<br />
In the simulations the SCH (i.e. ARQ protocols)<br />
in the downlink is omitted. The size of the<br />
downlink PDU train excluding the LCH PDUs<br />
will then be:<br />
L DPT = k ⋅ P DL<br />
m=1<br />
4.1.3 Uplink PDU Train<br />
The preamble for an uplink PDU train is 3<br />
(short) or 4 (long) OFDM symbols. Just as for<br />
the downlink train MTs multiple of SCHs and<br />
LCHs per frame. Notice that the order of the<br />
LCH and SCH has been exchanged compared<br />
to the downlink train.<br />
(8)<br />
The number of RCH slots r determines the RCH<br />
size. Each slot has the length SCH (PHY 1) with<br />
uplink preamble.<br />

PDUs is<br />

In the simulations, one SCH is used per active<br />
connections for resource request purposes. The<br />
corresponding size of uplink PDU train excluding<br />
