Time Division Duplex
Configurable Uplink vs Downlink Bandwidth Base sectors time synchronized CPE time & frequency slaved to base

Uplink Access
Implicit Reservation Explicit Reservation for isochroous traffic (VoIP) Slot size matched to minimum Ethernet packet FEC plus ARQ error control

Downlink Data
Byte stream with embedded uplink control FEC error control

Modulation Method
Coded OFDM
Systems patented transmission protocol 811 individual carriers 4, 16 or 64 point constellation per carrier Pilot carrier channel equalization No recurring training sequence necessary 1/8 cyclic prefix rate convolutional inner code Low redundancy Reed-Soloman outer code (84,74,8) One OFDM symbol per time slot
Transmission symbol optimized for smallest Ethernet packets

Transceiver Performance
Static Performance
5 dB C/N for packet error rate < 10^-4 (4 QAM) 5 dB C/I (co-channel) for packet error rate < 10^-4

Multipath Performance
< 9 dB C/(N+I) for worst case expected (4 QAM)

Voice over IP support

VoIP differentiated service
Explicit bandwidth reservation for VoIP calls Support for SIP signaling Simultaneous VoIP and broadband data traffic support External VoIP gateway or IP phone

VoIP provisioning
CPE is assigned to a Voice Service Profile
On / Off Up to three SIP server addresses
