TECHNICAL FIELD
x ( t ) = 1 N ∑ n = 0 N - 1 c n � ⅇ j2π n Δ f t , 0 ≤ t ≤ T s ( 1 ) where Δf is the sub-carrier separation in Hz, Ts=1/Δf is symbol time interval in seconds, and cn are the modulated source signals. The sub-carrier vector in (1) onto which each of the source signals is modulated cεCn, c=(c0, c1 . . . CN-1) is a vector of N constellation symbols from a finite constellation. At the receiver, the received time-domain signal is transformed back to frequency domain by applying Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) or Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm.
Normally, a service connection/flow of a MS will be arranged to using a proper permutation zone by the radio resource management algorithms in terms of QoS demands, radio channel conditions, and other factors. Within a permutation zone, a two-dimensional area of a group of subchannels will be allocated to a service connection of a MS. This two-dimensional allocation is called “burst”. The minimum allocation unit for a burst is slot in WiMAX. A burst may be visualized as a rectangle, which can be represented by NSubchannels�MOFDM — Symbols (FIG. 3).
