WiMAX is a multi-layered technology where the complexities center around the interactions between the MAC and PHY layers for
maximum performance and network throughput. The WaveJudge brings to the WiMAX industry a unique blend of both PHY and
MAC analysis attributes, allowing cross probing between these layers as trouble shooting often requires. This capability brings
quick resolution without multiple test equipment configurations, minimizing extraneous anomalies affecting true root-cause
analysis.

Cross probing: the information

you’ve been needing all along

The power of the WaveJudge as a

multilayer passive analysis tool is the
insight it provides into the interaction
between the PHY and MAC layers.

The WaveJudge provides visual

correlation between MAC management
messages and the PHY layer
transmissions. You can select a MAC
message, identified by timestamp,
direction (UL or DL) and message type,
and then automatically view the RF
transmission on a WaveJudge trace which WaveJudge global view with correlation (click above to enlarge).
includes not only Time Domain power but
adds 2D frequency vs. time with logical views.

Cross probing and correlation allow you to quickly and easily:

• Verify changes in power, frequency and timing as the MS enters the network by visually tracking the BS requests and MS
responses.
• Analyze and detect faulty maps and compare with resultant bursts sent in incorrect frame locations.
• Examine the preamble of specific messages to verify the index and the subcarrier energy scheme.
• Reveal timing offset violations by viewing the position of MS messages relative to the allocation start time assigned by the BS.
• Identify subchannels and subcarriers used for each slot within a MAC PDU message to determine proper zone permutation
assignments.
• Visually locate BS scheduling errors through advanced logical views of UL/DL Zone assignments.
Obtaining all this information at a single test point also reduces the sources of extraneous anomalies that can cloud results and
mask the true root cause.
