2Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom January 2006 Doc.: IEEE r1 Slide 2 Abstract This contribution provides an example of WRAN deployment in a real rural area. Its purpose is mainly to demonstrate the capability of OFDMA, as a WRAN solution, in a large area, which has diverse geographical features. Additionally, we analyze in the contribution the effect of the synchronization and coordination on the frequency plans, and the ability to re-use the available frequencies as much as possible.

6Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom January 2006 Doc.: IEEE r1 Slide 6 Assuming an average population spread of 1.25 persons/sq. km With 20% penetration,there are 625 users in the area. Assuming population density is not uniform, 5 regions were defined according to the geographical features of the terrain. Different density was assigned to each All the user`s links are 1.5Mbps peak data rate. It is assumed that a user uses the link about 10% of the time, and the ratio between the peak rate and the average rate during a session is 5 User Density

9Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom January 2006 Doc.: IEEE r1 Slide 9 The system used adaptive modulation. Due to sub-channelization, the system is capable of operating over a large dynamic range of C/I levels and signal strength The CINR refers to the CINR of a full channel, While interference and noise are reduced with sub-channelization, the wanted carrier level is concentrated in the elected sub-Channel and hence provide better CNIR and sensitivity

Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom January 2006 Doc.: IEEE r1 Slide 11 Multiple Knife-edge Model is used since the model specified in the Channel Model Document does not take into account the information provided by a digital terrain map. For fade margin, Rice statistics with 99% time availability is used. The Ricean K-factor is K=0 for NLOS propagation and k=10 otherwise. Propagation Model

12Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom January 2006 Doc.: IEEE r1 Slide 12 Site Location In order to achieve coverage, 11 Base Stations are needed. The sites were selected out of a list of 392 high points in the area. The sites are indicated by blue dot on the map.

Various signal levels are shown in colors. The red color indicates a received signal indicates a received signal strength below –111 dBm Site location provide approximately 95% area coverage

15Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom January 2006 Doc.: IEEE r1 Slide 15 Capacity Capacity in Mbps, carried by each sector, according to the areas associated with it. Maximum capacity required by a sector is of 1.2Mbps in average (10 sub-channels in QPSK, code rate ½. For Peak data rate of 1.5Mbps, 122 sub-channels are needed with QPSK 1/2

16Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom January 2006 Doc.: IEEE r1 Slide 16 Coordinated Synchronous Configuration Partial usage of sub-channels (PUSC) deployment is chosen. Each sector is accommodated with 10 sub-channels. This implies a target level of CINR of 1.45 dB compared to the 0.4 dB CINR required for 12 sub-channels with QPSK ½

17Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom January 2006 Doc.: IEEE r1 Slide 17 Synchronous Configuration Each sector uses a different permutation base. As a result, all the sub-channels (including the cchannel) introduce the same level of interference, approximated as a single sub carrier coinciding between any two sub-channels.

18Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom January 2006 Doc.: IEEE r1 Slide 18 Asynchronous Configuration Time frames between Base Stations are not synchronized, hence in TDD mode, CPE to CPE as well as Base Station to Base Station interference can be experienced in addition to the interference analyzed in the previous configurations. Inferior performance should be expected in this scenario
