Overview
Ranging functionality is required at the base station to determine the presence and timing offset of each subscriber. The relatively high rate of code correlation operations involved make ranging a good target for FPGA-based implementation. Altera’s ranging reference design demonstrates how orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) ranging can be efficiently implemented in Stratix® and Arria® series FPGAs. You can use the reference design as a starting point to accelerate designs based on the 802.16e-2005 standard. Altera supplies the reference design as clear-text register transfer level (RTL) HDL.
Features
- Compliant to mandatory parts of IEEE802.16e-2005 specifications
- Initial ranging, bandwidth contention, periodic ranging, and handover modes supported
- Support for multiple ranging channels
- Maximum number of channels is the synthesis time parameter
- Support for multiple antennas
- Adaptive threshold for code detection
- Improves performance under noise and fading channel conditions
- Timeshare same hardware between ranging codes, ranging channels, and multiple antennas
