[STDS-802-16] Question on 512-FFT OFDMA DL FUSC mode in IEEE 802.16e



Hi,

 

I have a question regarding the 512-FFT OFDMA DL FUSC mode in the 802.16e amendment. It seems that for odd valued FUSC Symbol Numbers, the last pilot from the Variable Set #1 will overlap the first guard subcarrier on the right side of the spectrum.

 

Based on Table 311b on page 427 of IEEE P802.16e/D12, the last pilot from the Variable Set #1 is at location index 420. Accounting for the 43 left guard subcarriers and the DC subcarrier, the actual location of this last pilot subcarrier is index 464 (in the 0:511 range of 512 total subcarriers). Based on Equation 110 on page 565 of IEEE 802.16-2004, the location of Variable Set pilot subcarriers is shifted an additional 6 positions to the right for odd FUSC Symbol Numbers:

 

PilotsLocation = VariableSet#x + 6*(FUSC_SymbolNumber mod 2)

 

Therefore the location of last pilot of Variable Set #1 for odd FUSC Symbol Number counts is 470. But based on Table 311b, there are 42 right guard subcarriers, which are allocated on subcarriers 470:511. Therefore the last Variable Set #1 pilot overlaps the first guard subcarriers in the right subcarrier.

 

Is this is an error or am I missing something here? Any input will be highly appreciated.
