Information about OFDMA Channel Configuration

OFDMA Channels

DOCSIS 3.1 introduces modes for higher throughput and higher spectral efficiency while still allowing backward compatibility to DOCSIS 3.0. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) channel has following features:

Frequency-range up to 80 MHz—The Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.7.x supports the configuration of up to 80 MHz OFDMA channel on every port of a line card.
Upstream spectrum 5 – 85 MHz
50 kHz subcarrier spacing
25 kHz subcarrier spacing

For a specific subcarrier spacing, the number of subcarriers on an OFDMA channel depends on the channel width.


Channel Width	50 kHz	25 kHz
48 MHz	960	1920
96 MHz	1920	3840

Note

When the OFDMA is configured with SC-QAMs on the same port pair, it is recommended to configure no more than 45 MHz OFDMA per port, or 90 MHz per port pair in Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.1.

Modulation Profile

A globally configured OFDMA modulation profile defines modulation orders and pilot patterns for different interval usage codes (IUC). It is also used to assign parameters for initial ranging and fine ranging.

OFDMA Channel Exclusion Band

Ranges of frequencies can be excluded from all OFDMA channels on a port using the ofdma-frequency-exclusion-band command.

Exclusion and unused bands apply to OFDMA channels only. OFDMA channel never use frequencies in exclusion band. So the legacy SC-QAM channel can be placed in this band. OFDMA channel does not use frequencies in unused band set by ofdma-frequency-unused-band command for data traffic, but can send probes in them.

How to Configure OFDMA Channel

Configuring OFDMA Modulation Profile

The OFDMA modulation profile is used to configure initial ranging, fine ranging and data IUC parameters. To define the ofdma modulation profile to be applied to OFDMA channels, follow the steps below:

enable 
configure terminal 
cable mod-profile-ofdma id 
subcarrier-spacing value 
initial-rng-subcarrier value 
fine-rng-subcarrier value 
data-iuc id modulation value pilot-pattern value

Here is a configuration example:

Router# enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# cable mod-profile-ofdma 466
Router(config-ofdma-mod-profile)# subcarrier-spacing 50KHz
Router(config-ofdma-mod-profile)# initial-rng-subcarrier 64
Router(config-ofdma-mod-profile)# fine-rng-subcarrier 128
Router(config-ofdma-mod-profile)# data-iuc 13 modulation 1024-QAM pilot-pattern 2
Router(config-ofdma-mod-profile)# exit
Router(config)# cable mod-profile-ofdma 423
Router(config-ofdma-mod-profile)# subcarrier-spacing 25KHz
Router(config-ofdma-mod-profile)# initial-rng-subcarrier 64
Router(config-ofdma-mod-profile)# fine-rng-subcarrier 128
Router(config-ofdma-mod-profile)# data-iuc 6 modulation 1024-QAM pilot-pattern 8
Router(config-ofdma-mod-profile)# data-iuc 9 modulation 1024-QAM pilot-pattern 8
Router(config-ofdma-mod-profile)# data-iuc 10 modulation 512-QAM pilot-pattern 8
Router(config-ofdma-mod-profile)# data-iuc 11 modulation 256-QAM pilot-pattern 8
Router(config-ofdma-mod-profile)# data-iuc 12 modulation 128-QAM pilot-pattern 9
Router(config-ofdma-mod-profile)# data-iuc 13 modulation 64-QAM pilot-pattern 9

Note

Subcarrier spacing must match the subcarrier spacing of each channel profile in which it is configured.

Verifying OFDMA Modulation Profile Configuration

To display the OFDMA modulation profile details, use the show cable modulation-profile ofdma command as shown in the example below:

Configuring OFDMA Channel

To configure the OFDMA channel, follow the steps below:

enable 
configure terminal 
controller Upstream-Cable slot/subslot/port 
us-channel id docsis-mode ofdma 
us-channel id subcarrier-spacing value 
us-channel id frequency-range start-value end-value 
us-channel id modulation-profile id 
us-channel id cyclic-prefix value roll-off-period value 
us-channel id symbols-per-frame value 
us-channel id data-iuc id band start-value end-value modulation value pilot-pattern value

Here is a configuration example:

Router# enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# controller Upstream-Cable 1/0/4
Router(config-controller)# us-channel 12 docsis-mode ofdma
Router(config-controller)# us-channel 12 subcarrier-spacing 25KHz
Router(config-controller)# us-channel 12 frequency-range 40000000 85000000
Router(config-controller)# us-channel 12 modulation-profile 423
Router(config-controller)# us-channel 12 cyclic-prefix 640 roll-off-period 224
Router(config-controller)# us-channel 12 symbols-per-frame 9
Router(config-controller)# us-channel 12 data-iuc 9 band 50000000 60000000 modulation 512-QAM pilot-pattern 8
Router(config-controller)# no us-channel 12 shutdown

Note

OFDMA use us-channel range 12 – 15.
Change docsis-mode to ofdma to enable OFDMA configuration options. These options are enabled by default on us-channel 12 – 15.
It is recommended to configure no more than 4 active SC-QAMs while an OFDMA channel is present.
A maximum of one OFDMA channel can be configured per controller.
OFDMA channel must be placed between 40 and 85 Mhz.
Values of the options are often interdependent, changing one value may change other values or make them invalid.
It is recommended to set subcarrier spacing and frequency range first. Frequency range must be increment of 50 kHz.
Overlapping frequencies between SC-QAM and OFDMA are not currently allowed.

Verifying OFDMA Channel Configuration

To display the OFDMA channel configuration, use the show controllers upstream-Cable us-channel command as shown in the example below:

Configure Exclusion / Unused Bands

An OFDMA channel never use frequencies located in exclusion bands. OFDMA probes will be sent on frequencies located in the unused bands. Therefore exclusion bands must be used to prevent interference with SC-QAM channels. To configure the Exclusion / Unused Bands, follow the steps below:

enable 
configure terminal 
controller Upstream-Cable slot/subslot/port 
cable ofdma-frequency-exclusion-band start-value end-value 
cable ofdma-frequency-unused-band start-value end-value

Here is a configuration example:

Router# enable
Router# configure terminal

Override OFDMA Profile Per Channel

It is possible to override the modulation and pilot pattern used by a particular IUC on a given OFDMA channel as shown with the command below.

enable 
configure terminal 
controller Upstream-Cable slot/subslot/port 
us-channel id data-iuc id band start-value end-value modulation value pilot-pattern value

Here is a configuration example:

Router# enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# controller Upstream-Cable 1/0/2
Router(config-controller)# us-channel 12 docsis-mode ofdma
Router(config-controller)# us-channel 12 subcarrier-spacing 25KHz
Router(config-controller)# us-channel 12 modulation-profile 423
Router(config-controller)# us-channel 12 frequency-range 28000000 70000000
Router(config-controller)# us-channel 12 cyclic-prefix 96 roll-off-period 64
Router(config-controller)# us-channel 12 symbols-per-frame 18
Router(config-controller)# us-channel 12 data-iuc 6 band 60000000 65000000 modulation 128-QAM pilot-pattern 9
Router(config-controller)# no us-channel 12 shutdown

Note

Override values will be removed from US channel when changing modulation profile, including when profile changes due to changes in subcarrier spacing.

Verifying Override Configuration

To display the override configuration, use the show controllers upstream-Cable us-channel command as shown in the example below:

Verifying DOCSIS3.1 Upstream OFDMA channel bonding across DOCSIS3.0 ATDMA channels

Starting from Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.1 release, DOCSIS3.1 Upstream OFDMA channel can be bonded with DOCSIS3.0 ATDMA channel. If the user wants to utilize non-best effort flows, it is recommended to bond the OFDMA channel with one or more ATDMA channels. But be aware that in Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.1 release, a maximum of 1 OFDMA channel and 4 ATDMA channels can be bonded together.

Below is an output example showing the bonding group 8 has both OFDMA (channel 12) and ATDMA channels (channel 0, 1, 2, 3).
