Concept implementation of sole module for software-based UL subframe mapping method on a TDD WiMAX IEEE 802.16e-based Subscriber Station

WiMAX IEEE 802.16e is one of promising advancing technologies in wireless broadband, and the development & deployment of this standard or system has been maintained and performed continually. During its development phase period, we proposed and developed a sole module for software-based uplink subframe mapping method, after a certain existing method called as multi-modules method had been designed and used for certain period of time. The proposed sole module implemented and verified together with other modules to FPGA-based development board to construct proper functionalities of a Subscriber Station used for Time Division Duplexing WiMAX IEEE 802.16e. It has been proven that the sole module works properly as the existing method does during the testing and verification. Indeed, the sole module reduces complexity for designing the software module of uplink burst mapping. One another significant advantage of the sole module is its capability to process burst data faster than the usage of multi-module technique. The sole module is considered a proper development for the software-based uplink burst mapping.
