Uplink physical structure
Each uplink subframe is divided into a number of frequency partitions, where each partition consists of a set
of physical resource units across the total number of OFDMA symbols available in the subframe. Each
frequency partition can include contiguous (localized) and/or non-contiguous (distributed) physical resource
units. Each frequency partition can be used for different purposes such as fractional frequency reuse (FFR).
Figure 1 illustrates the uplink physical structure in the example of two FFR groups with FFR group 2
including both localized and distributed resource allocations.

15.3.6.1.
Physical and Logical Resource Unit
A physical resource unit (PRU) is the basic physical unit for resource allocation that comprises Psc
consecutive subcarriers by Nsym consecutive OFDMA symbols. Psc is 18 subcarriers and Nsym is the number of
OFDMA symbols depending on the subframe type. A logical resource unit (LRU) is the basic logical unit for
distributed and localized resource allocations. The size of LRU for data transmission is Psc* Nsym. Each LRU
for data transmission can have different number of tones which are available for data allocation according to
the number of pilots.

15.3.6.1.1.
Distributed Logical Resource Unit
The distributed logical resource unit (distributed-LRU) is used to achieve frequency diversity gain. The
distributed-LRU contains a group of subcarriers which are spread across the distributed resource group within
a frequency partition. The size of the distributed-LRU equals the size of PRU, i.e., Psc subcarriers by Nsym
OFDMA symbols. The minimum unit for forming the distributed-LRU is a tile. The size of a tile is 6 by Nsym.
15.3.6.1.2.
Localized Logical Resource Unit
The localized logical resource unit (localized-LRU) is used to achieve frequency-selective scheduling gain. A
localized-LRU contains a group of subcarriers which are contiguous across the localized resource group. The
size of a localized-LRU equals the size PRU, i.e., Psc subcarriers by Nsym OFDMA symbols.
15.3.6.2.
Subchannelization and Resource mapping
15.3.6.2.1.
Basic Symbol Structure
The subcarriers of an OFDMA symbol are partitioned into N g,left left guard subcarriers, Ng,right right guard
subcarriers, and Nused used subcarriers. The DC subcarrier is not loaded. The Nused subcarriers are divided into
PRUs. Each PRU contains pilot and data subcarriers. The number of used pilot and data subcarriers depends
on MIMO mode, rank and number of multiplexed MS and the type of resource allocation, i.e., distributed or
localized resource allocations as well as the type of the subframe, i.e., type-1 or type-2.
15.3.6.2.2.
Uplink Subcarrier to Resource Unit Mapping
The main features of resource mapping include:
1.
Support of localized-LRU and distributed-LRU in an FDM manner.
2. Distributed-LRUs comprise multiple tiles which are spread across the distributed resource group within
a frequency partition to get diversity gain.
3.
FFR can be applied in uplink physical structure.
Based on the main design concepts above, the UL subcarriers to resource unit mapping process is defined as
follows and illustrated in Figure 2:
1.
First-level or outer permutation is applied to the PRUs in the units of N1 and N2 PRUs, where N1=4 and
N2 =1 or 2 depending on system bandwidth. Direct mapping of outer permutation can be supported only
for CRU.
2.
Distributing the reordered PRUs into frequency partitions..
3. The frequency partition is divided into CRU and/or DRU for each resource group. Sector specific
permutation can be supported and direct mapping of the resources can be supported for localized resources.
The sizes of the distributed/localized resources are flexibly configured per sector. Adjacent sectors do not
need to have same configuration of localized and distributed resources.
4. The localized and distributed groups resources are further mapped into LRUs by direct mapping of
CRU and by inner permutation on DRUs, as shown in Figure 2.

Subchannelization for Uplink Distributed Resource Unit
An inner permutation permutes PRUs in DRU within a frequency partition. The tile permutation defined for
the uplink distributed resource allocations spreads the tiles of the LDRU across the whole allocated
distributed resource allocations frequency band.
Two kinds of distributed resource allocation are used for UL distributed subchannelization, (1) regular
distributed allocation (2) UL transmit power optimized distributed allocation. The UL transmit power
optimized distributed resource is allocated first. The rest of the frequency resource is then allocated for
regular distributed allocation. A hopping/permutation sequence (TBD) is defined for the power optimized
allocation that spreads the hopping units across frequency. The second-level or inner permutation defined for
the UL regular distributed resource allocations spreads the tiles of the LDRU across the frequency band. The
granularity of the inner permutation is equal to the tile size for forming a LDRU according to section
15.3.6.1.1.
15.3.6.2.4.
Subchannelization for Uplink Contiguous Resource Unit
There is no permutation defined for the uplink contiguous resource unit. The PRUs in CRU are directly
mapped to localized-LRUs within each frequency partition.
15.3.6.3.
Pilot Structure
The transmission of pilot subcarriers in the uplink is necessary for enabling channel estimation,
measurements of SINR, frequency and time offset estimation, etc. Uplink pilot is dedicated to each user and
6
IEEE 802.16m-08/1452
can be precoded or beamformed in the same way as the data subcarriers of the resource allocation. The pilot
structure is defined for up to 4 transmission streams.
Pilot structures for each tile structure used for distributed-LRU and for localized-LRU are shown in Figure 3
and Figure 4. Figure 3 shows the pilot structure for localized-LRU when the number of stream is one, two
and four. Note that the pilot patterns for UL localized-LRUs are same to the downlink case. Figure 4 is used
for distributed-LRUs when the number of stream is one and two.

Subchannelization for FDM based UL PUSC Zone Support
When supporting FDM based UL PUSC zone, UL subchannelization is as follows:
1. For the WirelessMAN-OFDMA system bandwidth, all usable subcarriers are divided into PUSC tiles.
2. UL PUSC subchannelization is performed as described in section 8.4.6.2.2 [2].
3. Available subchannels for Advanced Air Interface MS shall be specified through subchannel bitmap
broadcasted by [DL broadcasting control message, TBD].
4. All PUSC tiles of specified subchannels from step 3 are extended in time domain from 3 OFDM symbols
to Nsym OFDM symbols, where Nsym is dependent of subframe type. These tiles are for distributed-LRUs.
5. Based on specified subchannels of step 3 with symbol extension tiles of step 4, distributed LRUs for
Advanced Air Interface are made up.
6. Repeat step 4 and step 5 for every subframe in uplink transmission.
Overall process of subcarrier to subchannel mapping is shown in Figure 6.
