= Programmable Modulation Schemes =
The WARP MIMO OFDM core implements a flexible modulation scheme. The core allows any combination of modulation schemes across subcarriers and antennas to be used in a given packet. The schemes are programmed by writing a modulation selection for each subcarrier to a shared memory block in the core. Unique schemes can be programmed for the full-rate symbols at antennas A and B and for the base-rate symbols; see [wiki:OFDM/MIMO/Docs/PHYDetails/FrameFormat OFDM Frame Format] for more details about base- and full-rate symbols.

The current version of the OFDM core requires the modulation schemes to be pre-programmed at both the transmitterand receiver. A future revision will include the ability to communicate this information with the header of each packet.

The transmitter and receiver sections of the core have separate modulation selection memory blocks. The organization of these two memory blocks are identical. The C-code below illustrates the memory organization and how user-code can write to these memory blocks. The macros ''ofdm_TxRx_mimo_SMWO_TxModulation_OFFSET'' and ''ofdm_TxRx_mimo_SMWO_TxModulation_OFFSET'' represent the address offsets (relative to the OFDM core's base address) for the two memory blocks. These macros are defined in the OFDM core's driver ([source:/PlatformSupport/CustomPeripherals/drivers/ofdm_TxRx_mimo_opbw_v1_07_a/src/ofdm_TxRx_mimo.h@449#L141 ofdm_TxRx_mimo.h]).

	//The following modulation schemes match the 802.11a/g standard
	// Each places data on 48 subcarriers
	// Zeros are inserted at the remaining 16 subcarriers:
	//   Subcarrier 0 (DC) must always be zero
	//   Subcarriers 7, 21, -7, -21 are used for pilot tones (i.e. zero data)
	//   Subcarriers [27:31] and [-32:-27] are zero to meet spectral mask requirements

	//The modulation is specified as a vector with 192 4-bit elements
	//The indicies below represent the subcarrier index:
	// x[0:63] specify the full-rate modulation for antenna A
	// x[64:127] specify the full-rate modulation for antenna B
	// x[128:191] specify the base-rate modulation

	//When re-cast as a vector of unsigned ints, the subcarrier indicies are mapped like:
