Uplink (Rx) Frequency: Computed from the configured Downlink (Tx) 
Frequency according to the Duplex Separation of the applicable Frequency 
Band. In TDD systems the Uplink (Tx) Frequency is the same as the Downlink 
(Tx) Frequency.

ODU Frequency Band: The ODU Frequency Band. If there is a mismatch 
between the Configured ODU Frequency Band and its actual band, both 
values will be displayed.

Multirate Parameters
BreezeMAX employs a multirate algorithm to dynamically adapt the modulation 
scheme and Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding to actual link conditions. The 
algorithm is managed by the AU taking into account also information received 
from the served SUs. Optimal values are calculated separately for the uplink and 
downlink for each SU. MAP messages transmitted to the SUs include information 
on the uplink rate that should be used by each SU for its next transmission.
The multirate algorithm optimizes the trade-off between capacity and error rate: 
In most deployments, most of the links use high order modulation most of the 
time, maximizing capacity. “Bad” links use lower order modulation, maximizing 
availability. The algorithm provides independent adaptation per SU, and it is 
performed independently for UL and DL, based on link quality information (Burst 
Error Rate, SNR). The algorithm provides dynamic adaptation - modulation can be 
changed on a per burst basis. UL transmission rate is determined by the AU, and 
DL transmission rate is determined by the SU.
The multirate algorithm in the uplink adapts dynamically both the modulation 
and the number of sub-channels to be allocated to each SU.
When the Multirate algorithm is disabled, communication with connected SUs will 
continue using the last uplink and downlink rates selected by the Multirate 
algorithm. The Set Rates option in the SU (see 
), which 
becomes available only when the Multirate algorithm is disabled in the AU, 
enables setting the Uplink Current Rate and the Downlink Current Rate to any of 
the values listed in 
The multirate algorithm chooses dynamically between several rates. These are 
also the rates that can be configured for the Basic Rate parameters.
