2.2.2 General
The 9600LSY digital radio relay system belongs to the second generation of the Alcatel SDH
(Synchronous Digital Hierarchy ) radio family that has been developed aiming to match the demand of
high quality microwave transmission links and following the SDH standards defined by International
Organizations as ITUT, ITUR and ETSI. Special attention concerning the network management
standards and its integration into a SDH based network has been paid.
Big efforts have been done to expand as much as possible the versatility of the new radio family and the
full compatibility with the optical systems to ensure the utilization of the radio media as natural complement
to the optical fibre transmission.
A 9600LSY radio system can be in fact utilized either with multiplex section termination (MST) or
regenerator section termination (RST) functionality, can be used for optical loop closures or for fibre optic
backup, for spurs or for backbone links and, in general, in all the network interconnections where the
advantages due to an easy installation, a fast commissioning operations and time and cost saving solution
are requested.
The family supports radio transmission of STM0 (51 Mbps) and STM1 (155 Mbps) signals as well
STM4 (622 Mbps) or STM16 (2.4 Gbps) connections, using a proper number of radio frequency
channels in various configurations.
A full set of synchronous and plesiochronous interfaces is available.
By means of the new 9600LSY family, Alcatel intends to answer the growing demand of transmission
capacity either for traditional telephone services or for the new dataoriented services (including ATM +
IP networks, LAN/WAN networks) or for the evolution of the cellular market.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
The Alcatel 9600LSY system architecture, based on a full indoor structure, covers all the frequency bands
from 4 to 13 GHz in a complete set of equipment configurations from 2 to 8 channels in protected (N+1)
or unprotected (N+0) radio configurations.

Th Alcatel 9600LSY family exploits the experience gained with the previous SDH generations of radio
equipment and provides an innovative answer to the most recent market requirements:
Total interworking with other kinds of network elements present in the network aiming to make the
network independent from transmission medium.
Full integration in the Alcatel network management platform able to manage different types of
network elements belonging to different technologies: OMSN, LT, OMSG, microwave radios, optical
systems and submarine systems. 9600LSY is included in Alcatel network release plan, guaranteeing
consistent feature support and allowing, in case of existing SDH NEs, not to change TMN platform,
thus saving investments already done.
Double identity of the equipment that can be inserted in the SDH network as:
Radio regenerator to be easily introduced in transparent mode without affecting any

modifications to the network.
Wireless Multi Service Node (WMSN) One Side or Two Sides that can be considered as full
performance OMSN or LT with different synchronous physical interface: radio instead of fibre.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
Transmission capacity easily selectable between STM0 and STM1 according to the bandwidth
availability and, if necessary, following an incremental approach.
Bit rate capacity: the 9600LSY family allows the transmission of STM1 signals for all frequency
bands from 4 to 13 GHz and STM0 for 7, 8 and 13 GHz bands, according to the customer needs.
The system allows an easy migration from STM0 to STM1 (only hardware and software
presettings are necessary) when the traffic and the band requirements are going to change.
Auxiliary traffic can be added by means of RFCOH bytes corresponding to one 2 Mbit/s Way Side
Traffic in STM1 case. Way Side Traffic in STM0 case is not available.
Usage of 128 QAM as standard modulation. The high number of levels utilised allows to obtain a high
spectrum efficiency that permits the utilisation of the following channel spacing :
28 MHz, 29 MHz, 29.65 MHz, 30 MHz and 40 MHz for STM1 capacity
14 MHz for STM0 capacity.
Adoption of frequency reuse technique as option for all the supported frequency bands, allowing
the transmission of 2x STM1 per channel: the way utilised to improve the spectrum efficiency is
based on the CoChannel Dual Polarisation (CCDP) technique.
This technique, consisting in transmitting two different STM1 channels on each radio channel
utilising two different antenna polarisation, has been consolidated in the recent past by means of field
proven results.
In order to meet ITUR transmission quality objectives also in unfavourable propagation condition
causing XPD degradation, Crosspolar Interface Canceller (XPIC) device is adopted to minimise the
negative effects of the crosspolar interference signal, assuring an improvement factor of approx.
18 dB to the cross polar antenna discrimination.
The function is implemented in an optional additional card to be plugged on each couple of
demodulator boards of reused channel.
Particular attention has been paid to the scalability of the system, allowing the extension of a
deployed alternate polar (AP) system to a CCDP reused system only when necessary and
consequently to a progressive investment.
Two possible ways of extension and configurations are available:
CCDP configurations using 2 protection channels up to 2 x (8+1)
CCDP configurations using only 1 protection channel up to 7 working channels plus 1 standby.

2.2.4 Main features

The frequency reuse is applicable to STM1 streams in all the frequency bands and with all the
channel spacing foreseen in the ITUR recommendations, while it is not available in case of STM0
transmission.
Space Diversity reception as countermeasure against fading exploiting the new baseband
combiner.
Further powerful multipath countermeasures: multichannel hitless switch, transversal equaliser,

configurable ATPC functionality, multileved coded modulation.
High reliability in order to minimise field intervention.
Fully software configurable terminals with software download capabilities.
Protections:
Different protection types are available for the 9600LSY systems: Radio Protection and Network
Protection:
Radio Protection (RPS).

The high capacity long haul radio systems utilises, to perform the automatic protection of the
radio channels, a multichannel switching device moving the channel to be protected on a spare
bearer (standby channel). The function, implemented on the RX side is N+1 hitless type; it is
transparent to other types of protection and in particular to network protection.
The switch supplies the protection of the link either in case of failure of the equipment or for
improving the quality performances of the link. In this last case the Early Warning criteria are
utilised to achieve an error free changeover.
Network Protection.
For network protection the radio system in regenerator section configuration (RRA) will be fully
transparent to APS channel and criteria allowing the OMSNs present in the network to perform
the network protection activity. On the other hand the radio system in multiplex section
configuration (WMSN) implements, as embedded function, network protection features like
Trail protection and subnetwork protection (APS, SNCP etc.).
High integration of the full indoor structure with very compact size: configurations up to 8+0/7+1
terminal are housed inside a single N3 ETSI rack.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
The characteristics Alcatel 9600LSY are compliant with current SDH standards defined within the
International Organisations ITUT, ITUR and ETSI, with special attention to those standards concerning
the network management and its integration into SDH based network.

comprehends the following main paragraphs:
Station types and configurations
Channel configurations and protection schemes
The handbook part that should be read before starting this paragraph is:
para.2.2 on page 40
Introduction to the 9600LSY Radio System Family
2.3.2 Station types and configurations

Station types
A complete terminal station utilizing a maximum of 8 radio channels is housed inside a single ETSI rack
that, depending on the customer request, can be 2200 or 2000 mm high. The 1800 mm rack cannot be
utilized.
The structure of the equipment has been developed aiming to obtain a very simple structure, with an
integration as high as possible and reducing at the minimum the number of different functional blocks
and, inside each of them, reducing the number of different units and cards.
These concepts have led to obtain an equipment structure only composed by the following functional
blocks (see Fig. 4. on page 48):
a radio assembly containing all the radio frequency and medium frequency circuits (transceiver shelf)
a baseband subrack containing all the unit devoted to the modulation and demodulation functions,
RRA functions, services management, radio protection switching and system controlling.
a branching unit deployed at the top and bottom sides of the transceiver subrack.
a Top Rack Unit (T.R.U.) for D.C.. primary power distribution and battery protection.
a fan subrack, foreseen for all the configurations.
a compact ADM 1650SMC with its additional fan subrack, that , when required, can be installed into
the rack to perform all the functionalities managed by a multiplex section.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
The configurations are easily expansible, passing from a lower one to a higher one simply adding, inside
each functional block, the units needed to support the new radio channels utilized.
In particular, the branching unit is equipped in advance with the channel circulators needed for the
expansion up to 7+1, to consent to expand the radio terminal just connecting the RF filters to the branching,
without the necessity to disassemble the branching itself.
Thanks to a new design of narrow RF filters , the frequency reuse, available in all the frequency bands,
can be obtained avoiding the utilization of the 3 dB hybrids for all the bands and all the frequency
spacings, including 28 MHz.
Despite to the new high integration of the LSY systems and thanks to volume decrease obtained on the
branching, the space diversity optional functionality is supplied in all the configuration up to 7+1/8+0.

The Alcatel 9600LSY systems offer a full set of system configuration and protection schemes to meet any
specific need in a network with a high degree of flexibility.
Two are the envisaged station types, each supplying different functionality:
Regenerator station (RST):

is needed when the RSOH termination and MSOH transparency are requested. I/O network
interface is STM1 electrical or optical.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
Multiplex station (MST):

is necessary when a Wireless Multiservice Node (WMSN) (one side or two sides) has to be
implemented. In this case the MST station is used at the terminal ends of the radio link and it gives
the possibility to provide synchronous STM1 electrical and optical interfaces and plesiochronous
140 Mbit/s, 3x45 Mbit/s, 3x34 Mbit/s, 63x2 Mbit/s interfaces.
It is possible to implement a full multiplex section features like synchronization, SOH termination,
network protection (SNCP/I, SNCP/N and linear MSP), VCs cross connection, tributary adddrops.

514
48 / 514

The maximum number of plesiochronous interfaces that are alternatively allowed by 1650SMC are
as follows:
up to 3 cards 4x140 Mb/s. In this case the limitation is introduced by the LSY radio system that
can transmit up to 8 x STM1 channels.
up to 3 cards 3x34 Mb/s , utilizing 3x STM1 (or 3+1 STM1 in case of protection) channels radio
side.
up to 3 cards 3x34 Mb/s, utilizing 3x STM1 (or 3+1 STM1 in case of protection) channels radio
side.
up to 3 cards 21x2 Mb/s , utilizing 1x STM1 (or 1+1 STM1 in case of protection) channels radio
side.
In the last three cases, if a single stream 34 Mb/s or 45 Mb/s or 21x2 Mb/s is required, an
underequipped STM1 is utilized toward the radio baseband and a STM0 can be adopted for
transmission on air.
Station configurations
The 9600LSY family allows the radio transmission of both STM1 and STM0 utilising protected and
unprotected heterofrequency configurations N+0, N+1 type or 2x (N+1) CCDP.
The basic configurations are named as follows:
Long Haul extendible version N+1/N+2/N+0 terminal regenerator configuration (LHR)
Long Haul extendible version N+1/N+2/N+0 terminal WMSN configuration (LHR + 1650SMC)
The high integration level allows to provide several types of configurations allowing to address different
network applications :
7+1
Terminal regenerator
in 1 ETSI rack
8+0
in 1 ETSI rack
7+1
Terminal WMSN
in 1 ETSI rack

An already operating terminal regenerator can be reconfigured as a terminal WMSN simply adding a
1650SMC device to the radio regenerator equipment.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10

2.4.1 Foreword
This paragraph describes the different assemblies and shelves that can be used to compose the available
configurations of 9600LSY family, and comprehends the following main paragraphs:
OPTINEX Rack and Top Rack Unit

Transceiver subrack
Baseband subrack
ADM 1650SMC

para.2.3 on page 47
2.4.2 OPTINEX Rack and Top Rack Unit

The OPTINEX rack has been designed to be used in all the new applications of optical and radio solutions
thanks to the high room availability needed for the continuously increasing number of cable connections.
The rack is available in two different heights: 2200 and 2000 mm. They both can be used either for
regenerator or WMSN terminals. In fact, also the 2000mm version can host the terminals including the
1650SMC ADM and its fan unit.
In general, OPTINEX rack can house 19 and 21 subracks. They must be compliant with ETSI 300 1193
standard. Using 19 subracks they must be installed utilizing mechanical adaptors.
However, in the case of 9600LSY radios, the two main subracks (transceiver and baseband) are 21 wide,
so they do not need any adapter to be installed in the rack.
In the 9600LSY application, OPTINEX rack is usually supplied with the TRU unit (see para.3.4 on page
128).
For special Customer needs, OPTINEX rack can be also supplied without the TRU unit.

2.4.3.2 Transceiver block diagram

A simple block diagram, illustrating the main functions performed by transceiver module, is shown in the
following Fig. 6.
Fig. 6. Single channel transceiver block diagram

The transmitter includes an IF amplifier, a SSB up converter, a local oscillator and a RF power amplifier.
The utilization of a high rejection SSB upconverter permits to avoid the use of a RF filter at the output,
allowing a wideband utilization of the unit.
The Automatic Transmitted Power Control (ATPC) function is included in the transceiver in order to
decrease the Tx power output and dissipation in case of normal propagation and to push the maximum
power up in deep fading conditions. This function may be disabled and the level of the transmitted RF
power can be manually set by Craft Terminal configuration.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
The receiver includes a low noise RF preamplifier, an automatic imagine rejection down converter, an IF
filter, a main amplifier with AGC and a local oscillator.
A space diversity receiver, to be used in junction with a baseband signal combiner, is also available as
countermeasure to the selective fading due to the multipath propagation of the signal.
The advantages obtained by the baseband combiner utilization are mainly due to a higher reliability,
thanks to the adopted digital technology, to the possibility of recovering very high delays between the two
received signals and to the very reduced signature of the combined signal.

The baseband subrack is used both in regenerator terminal stations and in WMSN stations. In the first case
it is the sole baseband equipment installed in the rack; in the second it has to be associated with
1650SMC device that has to be installed in the upper right area of the rack just above the baseband
subrack.
It is mainly subdivided in three different areas:
the upper area (access area) is devoted to host the interface connectors of WST , Service channels
and remote alarms.
in the centre of the subrack the channeldepending units (RRA and Modems, up to ten) are
accommodated, together with the two common units : System Controller (SC) and the Service unit.
in the bottom part, the DC/DC converters for supplying the d.c. voltages to the RRAModem units
are allocated just under the relevant powered units. Two battery filters (including the DC/DC
converters supplying the DC power for the common units ) are also installed in this area.
2.4.4.1 Mechanical assembly
The physical dimensions of the subrack are: 490 mm (w) x 500 mm (h) x 250 mm (d).
In the following Fig. 7. , the baseband subrack is shown.

in the various radio configurations.

2.4.4.5 Modem unit

Performs the following main functions:
Terminal modulator
Terminal demodulator
XPIC
Baseband signal combiner

Two different 128 QAM modems have been developed, according to the two capacities that can be
transmitted:
STM1 Modem with one 2 Mbit/s WST service stream: to be used in both alternate and copolar
frequency arrangements with all the spacings including 28 MHz.
The STM0 Modem without WST service stream: utilized in 7 , 8 and 13 GHz bands with 14
MHz channel spacing in both alternate and copolar frequency arrangements.
Each modem can be equipped with an optional plugin board . This board gives the access to the
IF signals necessary to the demodulator for XPIC or for Space Diversity functionalities. In case of
presence of both functions the modem must be equipped with two identical plugin boards.
2.4.4.6 Service Unit
The Service board provides an external access to the auxiliary service channels, utilizing SUBD
connectors in the subrack connector area. Moreover the unit manages the ATPC functionality.
Service unit consents the terminal to transmit one WST 2 Mb/s service stream in Radio Frame
Complementary OverHead in protected way on channels x and y (that can be chosen among the
couples specified in Tab. 8. on page 50), and contains the logic switching unit. The WST interface
is present on the unit front panel. The accesses to the other WST service streams that can be
transmitted one for each channel in nonprotected way are in the connector area.
2.4.4.7 System Controller
The S.C. is devoted to the equipment management. It exchanges alarms, commands and
management information with the other units of the equipment and provides the following interfaces
for local and remote management:
Channel communication for TMN utilizing a QB3 interface (BNC connector) info model based
F interface (RS232 toward the local PC) (SUBD 9 pin connector) towards Local Craft
Terminal
QECC interface for remote management through DCC channels.

2.4.4.8 Additional Housekeeping unit
This optional unit (equipped as depicted in Fig. 4. on page 48) increases by 18 the number of
Housekeeping inputs available.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
2.4.4.9 Power Supply

PSU units are grouped in 2units groups (i.e. PSU0+PSU1, PSU2+PSU3, ...). Each PSU pair
converts and then distributes, through the backpanel, power supply to the correspondent pair of
RRA, whereas each PSU board supplies only the associated MODEM board (i.e. PSU0 supplies only
MODEM0 board, etc.) If not utilized, the P.S. slots are provided with a front plate cover.
Each P.S. gets the primary voltage from both batteries, connected in parallel.
The P. S. units supply the secondary power voltage to all the units starting from the primary voltage:
48 to 60 Vdc ( 20%);
The system can also be powered by batteries with different voltage: 24 Vdc ( 20%). In this case,
onpurpose designed DC/DC converters are available and have to be installed in the lower area
of the rack.
2.4.4.10 Battery filter
Two battery filters, located in the lower side positions of the subrack, supply the DC power to the
common units (System Controller, Service) in 1+1 protected way.

NOTE:
The rack and the subracks have been designed to host up to 10 channels, even if the normal maximum
configuration is limited to 8 channels. In fact, the expansion of the systems without traffic interruption is
available only for this last maximum configuration.
However, it could be possible , for particular customer requirements or utilizing some channel plans, to
foresee even the possibility to get 10 channels per rack.
A terminal can be configured as a WMSN simply adding a 1650SMC device to the radio regenerator
equipment .
Each configuration is easily expansible to higher capacities just adding the foreseen expansion kits.

Besides the radio configurations presented previously, the 9600LSY family supplies an answer to various
transmission problems supplying particular functional solutions.
The purpose of this paragraph is to describe these functionalities giving some simple system block
diagrams and/or short comments.
Space Diversity
All the available configurations in all the frequency bands of 9600LSY family may include the Space
Diversity protection. This feature is obtained adding to the system a second receiver connected,
through a dedicated branching, to the Space diversity second antenna.
This second receiver, exactly equal to the main one, is installed inside the transceiver unit, in the
dedicated area just aside the main one.
The two IF signals (coming from the main and diversity receivers) are sent to the modem, where are
processed by two demodulators and summed by a new designed baseband combiner.
To achieve this function, one plugin IF module with A/D converters must be added to the modem
unit.
Expansion procedure
9600LSY is a fully expansible radio system. It means that, starting from the minimum 1+1 / 2+0
configuration, it is possible to increase the traffic capacity adding to the station the units necessary
to increase the number of radio channels up to the maximum allowed by the configuration.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
The expansion procedure is reported in para.3.5.2 on page 131.

2.5.4 System configuration for network solutions

2.5.5 Branching configurations

The branching for N+0 or N+1 configurations is realized in two different ways to be connected to a single
or double polarized antenna (1 or 2 polarizations per rack versions) and can manage up to 8 RF channels.
In both cases, Tx and Rx filters and channel circulators are accommodated in two horizontal lines
respectively at the bottom side and at the upper side of the transceiver subrack.
They are connected to the antenna circulators sited over the top of the rack by means of branching
connections installed along one or both rack side walls.
Depending on the frequency band, the branching is realized utilizing coaxial connection (4 and 5 GHz
bands) or using waveguides (from 6 GHz to 13 GHz).
The branchings connected to the space diversity receiver (this function is foreseen in all the bands and
for all the configurations) follow the technological choice utilized for the main branching.
The utilization of narrow band RF branching filters allows to avoid the use of 3 dB hybrids ( 3dB couplers
previously used for CCDP application) in all the frequency plans and for all the frequency spacings
including 28 MHz.
In all configurations, the connections among transceivers and relevant channeldepending branching
units are realized by vertical parallel coaxial cables without any cross connection.
This realization permits to simplify the installation operations (see Fig. 28. herebelow).

More and more often customers require to expand installed systems without causing traffic interruption.
Following this requirement, a particular branching solution has been developed.
This solution consists in having all the channel circulators needed for the maximum rack configuration
installed in advance, even if , at first, only a few of them are really utilized.
Dedicated codes including four circulators have been inserted in the catalogue. These blocks, one code
for each frequency band, are usable for all the terminal configurations. The unused circulator port that
will be connected to the filter branching in the future when expanding of the system, is closed by a short
circuit device. This device consents the signal to flow toward the antenna in transmission side or toward
the first active receiver in receiving side.
During the expansion operation, the short circuits devices are removed and the branching filters are
connected to the open circulator port, with easy and very short operation.
In such a way the traffic interruption can be minimized at minimum.
Taking in account that operating in TX side the expansion is performed adding the new channels as last
respect to the existing ones, this operation could be considered safe from the traffic interruption point of
view.
In Rx side the new channel are inserted between the antenna circulator and the first existing channels.
For this reason removing the short circuit device and leaving open the antenna port can lead to a lack of
signal to the following Rx channels until the new filter in installed.
Moreover, if in the receiving side the space diversity functionality is present, operating the expansion in
separated time on the main receiver branching and on the diversity receiver branching , the traffic
interruption can be completely avoid.
The circulators blocks are available in the bands from 6 to 13 GHz included.
At these frequences, the additional cost due to the presence of all the circulators even not utilized can
be supported by the systems, even in case of simple configurations.
At 4 and 5 GHz, on the contrary, the cost of the circulators is much heavier. For this reason the described
solution is not applied, and the traditional method (addition of the needed circulators at the moment of the
expansion) is still utilized.
Whatever is the number of working channels present in the rack, the number of the circulator blocks to
be used is 4 if the space diversity is not present, and 6 if it is implemented. This rule is valid both with
copolar and alternate polar branching solution.
Balanced branchings
The so called balanced branchings consents to get a constant attenuation of the branching for all the
channels relevant to the same terminal. So, also the system gain is constant whatever channel it is referred
to.
To get this performance the rule that has been followed is to insert the successive transmitters to the first
following the first and , on the contrary, to insert the added receiver before the existing ones.
The next figures give an exemplification of the balanced branching connections in the two cases of one
polarization per rack and two polarization per rack.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
Solution for branching in 6L band ( 9662LSY)

ITUR F. 383 channel plan foresees a frequency distance between the innermost channel of 44.49 MHz.
This narrow distance between channels 8 and 1 has obliged to insert, inside the branching in transmission
side, a dedicated wideband filter to avoid local interference between said channels that supplies an
additional filtering to the residual spectrum power generated by the transmitter 8 or 1 at the frequency
of the receiver 1 or 8 .
This filter is always installed in the branching, in all configurations (copolar and alternate polar) and in
independent way respect to the channels effectively installed in the link. It means that even if channels
8 and 1 are not utilized, the branching contains the filter. In such a way, we are free to install successively
the channels 8 and 1 for expansions of the link, without necessity to add the filter and , at last, without
causing traffic interruption.

It can work either on H or V polarization, depending on the RF channel utilized .
As a consequence, the branching installed in the left part of the rack can be connected either to the H
antenna polarization or the V one.
Once that the polarization (H or V) of the left side branching has been chosen, all the units that must be
connected to this antenna polarization will be installed on the left side and connected to this branching .
The others (connected to V or H polarization) will be installed and connected to the branching located on

2.6.2.1 Introduction
Efficient bandwidth is a relevant issue in the digital radio application.
Multilevel signalling is a standard mean to get high spectral efficiency.
Unfortunately its sensitivity to channel impairments increases with the number of modulation levels. In
radio links carrying several channels, additional bandwidth saving is usually achieved by using both
horizontal and vertical polarization, with cross polarized adjacent channels to minimize interference.
A further improvement of transmission capacity can be obtained by the simultaneous use of the RF
channel for two independent digital transmissions on orthogonal polarization, which is commonly
addressed to as Crosspolarized cochannel frequency reuse technique.
Frequency reuse systems actually result in doubling the spectral efficiency of conventional transmissions.
However this is paid in terms of additional signal distortion, because of inevitable crosscoupling of dual
polarized channels. This is due both to propagation conditions (notably rain and ground reflections) and
imperfections in the antennae and waveguide feeders. The result of reduced cross polarization
discrimination (XPD) is cross polarization interference (XPI) , which sums up with intersymbol
interference generated by channel dispersions and give rise to potentially serious impairments in
detection.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
XPI and intersymbol interference can be jointly contrasted by resorting to adaptive processing techniques.
Baseband equalizations together with cross polarization interference canceller (XPIC) allow signal
distortion to be kept within tolerable limits, thus making frequency reuse a viable option.

2.6 Radio Transmission features

2.6.2.2 XPIC Operating principle and receiver architecture

The idea behind the XPIC operation is that of adjusting the amplitude and phase of the received signal
samples of the opposite polarization, so as to provide an estimate of the XPI corrupting the desired copol
signal. This estimate can then be subtracted from the main signal, producing crosspol interference
cancellation. Taking into account the timevarying nature of the channel, the XPIC operation must be
adaptively adjusted according to a proper rule to track the variation in both copolar and crosspolar
channels parameters.
To counteract both XPI and multipath fading, the joint use of XPIC and adaptive equalization is advised.
Following this approach, the adopted crosspol cofrequency receiver structure results in an arrangement
of four adaptive bandspaced transverse filters, as show in Fig. 32.

Fig. 32. XPIC operating principle

In the same figure the XPIC updating criterion is also addressed. The XPIC tapweights are adjusted so
as to minimize the correlation between crosspol received signal and copol error signal.
This operation minimizes the correlation between error signal and cross polarization interference.
A fundamental issue in a frequency reuse system design is the receiver recover capability. As a matter
of fact, deep fading occurrences, which can produce a system loss of lock, are usually of short duration,
so that also moderate hysteresis effects on system lockin can severely increase the total outage time (C/I
typical values 2 5 dB).
Therefore, care must be taken in the choice of the receiver synchronization strategies, in order to avoid
any interaction between dualpol sections of receiver during the recovery process.

The adopted frequency reuse system architecture is sketched in Fig. 33. on page 84.

Fig. 33. Frequency reuse system architecture

The only design constraint is that a common RF local oscillator is used for both dualpol signals, while
two independent decision directed carrier recovery loops are employed for the demodulation from IF to
baseband for each equalizer canceller pair input signals.
This approach preserves the precise phase and frequency relationship between the received signal and
the crosspol signal used for XPI cancellation.
And this is true even when the carrier associated with the received signal is out of lock. Such coherence
has very important implications because without cancellation, when the terminal is out of lock, XPI
distortion will be so severe that the terminal will not easily regain lock.
Another advantage of such an arrangement is that no constraints are imposed on Tx oscillators. In
addition, a joint recovery process of crosspol carriers is avoided.
The equalizer/canceller system operation is based on dualpol received signal samples. Therefore, a
critical point of receiver design is to devise the proper signal sampling strategy. We chose to employ a
separate symbol synchronizer for each crosspol branch of the receiver. As indicated in Fig. 33. , the
same clock is used to sample the input signal of an equalizer and of the associated XPI canceller. This
makes the XPIC operation independent of the synchronization of dual polarized transmitted data streams.
It is of great importance to observe that the above synchronization strategies result in a complete
independence of operation of the receiver branches on opposite polarization. This allows operation even
when the receiving digital terminal on the opposite polarization is out of service.
2.6.2.3 XPIF Factor
The receiver performance can be assessed in term of the XPI rejection capability of the canceller. This
is quantified by the crosspolarization improvement factor (XPIF), which is the difference of the carrier
to XPI ratio (C/XPIs) corresponding to a predefined error performance in a dual polarized system with and
without XPIC, respectively.
Typical values (optimum phase) for a 128 MLC system is 22 dB.

2.6.2.4 XPIC Card

The XPIC card is a daughter board that has to be inserted in both modem units of the main and reused
channel of each bearer that is reused. This unit is installed in the system only if the reuse of frequency is
implemented. It can be also added to the modem in second step if a expansion of the system utilizing the
reuse of a frequency is required after the first installation.
The unit has a second utilization, again as daughter board, as baseband combiner when the space
diversity functionality is implemented in the link.
In case of both functionality presence (XPIC and Space diversity), two units are necessary and both must
be installed inside the modems.

2.6.2.5 Rack configurations for frequency reuse

Frequency reuse technique allows to double the transmission capacity of each radio channel; a certain
number of channels is then transmitted at the same frequency of the main one on the second antenna
polarization.
We can envisage two main different topologies of reused systems: with one spare channel and with two
spare channels.
a)
Reused systems with a single protection channel

Terminals with a single protection channel are installed in only one rack .
The maximum number of channels is 8 and up to 4 different frequencies can be utilized.
Each terminal is identified in the network as a single N.E.. Higher configurations are not allowed.
Fig. 34. hereafter reported shows an example of a reused terminal .
In the example all the channels are reused and the spare channel, transmitted by the first transceiver
installed on the left side of the shelf, is channel 1H. The configuration obviously utilizes double
antenna polarization.

Reused systems with two protection channels

Two protection channels are available when a complete 2x(n+1) system is installed in two racks. In
this case there will be two n+1 systems , one for each rack, using n+1 frequencies. One spare channel
for each rack is present. Maximum number of channels for each polarization is 8 (including the spare
channel).
A terminal, configured as above, always consists of two independent Network Elements, one for each
rack.
Two different solutions are available: each rack can be configured with alternate polarization and with
only one polarization.
If the tworack system is foreseen since the beginning, a solution with only one polarization per rack
is recommended. In case of future expansion, in fact, there is no necessity to connect the branchings
of the two racks, avoiding heavy mounting operations and long traffic interruptions.
However, the with 2PPR solution is also available.
Obviously if an 1PPR or 2PPR existing system has to be expanded with reused channels utilizing
the second rack, the AP or CP solution, already adopted in the installed system has to be foreseen
also in the second rack.
In Fig. 35. below, a 7+1 reused terminal with double spare channels, with the 2 polar per rack
recommended solution, is shown.

Expansion of a single protection reused system to double protection

Fig. 36. herebelow shows the expansion of a single protection reused terminal to a higher
configuration. Taking into account the limitation concerning the maximum allowed configuration in
case of single protectionsingle rack terminal (7 working channels and 4 different frequencies), the
expansion utilizes a second rack .
In this case the system is modified into a double protection one. The second spare channel is housed
in the second rack (in the shown case on ch. 2H) .
The rack utilized for the expansion utilizes the 2PPR configuration used by the first rack.
This solution consents to expand a single rack double polarized terminal up to 7+1/8+0 reused
configuration. The new added rack will be identified as a second network element .

The specific connections needed for the terminals equipped for the frequency reuse technique are
hereafter described:
Local Oscillator Synchronization

The two local oscillators connected to the two RF receivers (main and reused) working on each
reused frequency must be together synchronized. This function is obtained by a phase lock loop
system utilizing a 2 GHz reference signal transferred from the L.O. of the main receiver ( master
local oscillator) to the L.O. of the reused receiver (slave local oscillator). This connection is
performed by means of a coaxial cable between oscillators and a Frequency Reuse Kit (a special
module and associated cabling) inside the Master Oscillator. In case of failure of the main local
oscillator or lack of the synchronization signal due to whatever cause , the slave Rx L.O. of the reused
channel utilizes its own RF signal , obviously unlocked to the main LO, to feed the Rx down converter
and to maintain in service the reused channel.
In case of failure of the master LO, The slave one can assume the master functionality and to be
utilized as source of the reference signal to be used to feed the signal to the frequency multiplier
contained in the main LO and allowing the protection of the master LO .
Fig. 37. herebelow shows how the mutual protection between the two LOs can be obtained.

If main and reused channels are located in different racks , cable interconnections between the two
racks are needed . The maximum loss acceptable is 10 dB and the cable length is y 7 m .
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
I.F. interconnection cables

The XPIC unit, to perform the interference cancellation, must receive the IF signal from both main
and reused receiver. For this reason, in addition to the standard cables (used in a nonreused
systems), a IF cable for each XPIC unit must be utilized to connect the main receiver to the
demodulator of the reused system and vice versa.
Two dedicated cable kits, including both the LO and IF connections, are foreseen. They are available
with different cable lengths depending on the connection necessity (inside the same rack or between
the two racks). Only one kit is needed for a couple of reused channels.

2.6.2.6 Interconnections in reused systems
RF branching interconnection

In case of single polarized rack used in two racks terminal, no branching interconnections are needed
between the racks, each of them being connected directly and independently to one antenna port.
On the contrary, in case of usage of alternate polarization on both racks, the transceivers utilizing the
same antenna polarization must be connected to the same branching. It means that the some
waveguides or cables (depending on the frequency band) will connect the two racks to send to the
two antenna polarization all the H and all the V channels. Following Fig. 38. shows how this is carried
out.

The product allows two ways to adjust the transmitted power: the first one in a static way, the second one
under automatic control loop (ATPC function).
2.6.3.1 Transmit power static adjustment
The capability to adjust transmitted power in a static and fixed way has been introduced for those countries
where, due to internal rules, the ATPC function is not accepted or for those hops in which, due the short
length and interface problems, a fixed reduced transmitted power is preferred.
The range of the possible attenuation depends on the frequency band involved and is detailed in chapter
Technical Specifications.
The step for adjustment is 1 dB, with an accuracy of 0.5 dB. The setting of the transmitted power can
be performed locally by means of ECT.
2.6.3.2 ATPC function
The automatic control of the transmitted power (ATPC) function allows to regulate the transmitted power
in order to supply a reduced power in situation of normal propagation and the maximum power in
conditions of fading.
In synchronous radio link systems, the ATPC device is considered a very important function taking into
account the following advantages:
reduction of the internal interferences of the radio system and with other systems
reduction of the average consumption of the transmitter considering that the maximum power is
supplied for small percentages of time
improvement of the averages conditions of the transmitter about the linearity and consequent
reduction of phenomena of background error due to non linear distortion that with ATPC could be
revealed only in conditions of fading
possibility to increase the System Gain as a consequence to the reduction of the Backoff on the
power transmitted taking into account what above mentioned
substitution of a possible microwaves attenuator to realize different range of power.
As far as concern the values relative to the operating range of the ATPC, refer to chapter Technical
Specifications.
ATPC working principle
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
The ATPC system is based on a control loop of the power transmitted between a TX transmitter and a RX
receiver connected in a radio link.
With reference to Fig. 39. on page 91, the receiver furnishes through the AGC voltage the information of
the received power to the ATPC controller; it compares the voltage with threshold values (presettable) and
according to the obtained result send through to the ATPC controller on the remote station of the link the
orders of increase/ decrease of transmitted power. These orders are processed and therefore transferred
to the associated transmitter.

Fig. 39. ATPC Functionality
The information of control of the transmitted power is exchanged between the two stations of a link utilizing
service channel at 64 Kbit/s inserted in RFCOH bytes (avoiding to touch standard SOH bytes).
In the protected configurations these information are transmitted 1+1 protected.
The information regarding the ATPC functionality can be resumed in the following (for each channel):
received power (absolute digital value to be transmitted towards the remote station in order to move
the Tx output power).
Rx failure (for remote Tx inhibition with reused system configuration)
ID_channel + ID_direction (for identification of ATPC channel in order to avoid problems in case of
crosstalk/interference or in case of 1+0 eastwest configuration release 2.0)
These information are organized in registers of SPRI (Serial Peripheral Register Interface) where the PRx
and ID_ch information are transmitted with higher priority than Rx fail.
The information for each channel received in remote station is sent to the relevant transmitter where the
PRx information received is compared to the thresholds set and it is decided to send up or down or hold
commands to the RF transmitter.
The Rx failure received in the Tx remote station is used to switch off the relevant transmitter in case of
frequency reuse or to set the Tx at low Pout in case of standard configuration (no frequency reuse
application).

The ATPC control system is replied for each channel without any centralized function.
The system control is organized in two parts for each channel and for each direction:
the Rx system control implementing PRx detection, eventual Rx failure detection and insertion of the
above data in RFCOH bytes
the Tx system control implementing extraction of data from RFCOH bytes and PTx drive.
ATPC Threshold management
The transmitter is able to change the output power in the range MAX TL (max level) and MIN TL (min level).
The transceiver has an its own default value for MAX TL, MIN TL and NOM TL (nominal level).
It is possible to set the following values:
A MAX TL
(max level ATPC)
where
A MAX TL x MAX TL
A MIN TL
(min level ATPC)
where
A MIN TL y MIN TL
with the constrain:

MIN TL x A MIN TL x NOM TL
A MIN TL x A MAX TL x MAX TL
The extreme thresholds MAX TL and MIN TL are reported in the data sheet (see par. 3.3.2)
It means that:
the ATPC range is not fixed but variable according to the values set for A MAX TL and A MIN TL
the max ATPC output power can be different from the max output power of the transmitter and the
ATPC functionality can be maintained with reduced range
The receiver has an its own default value (not changeable) for a receive power threshold called EXTRA
POWER threshold depending on the signal (STM1 or STM0) corresponding to guaranteed threshold
10E6.
On the receiver it is possible to set a received power Low threshold for loop activation within the following
limits:
LOW threshold: in the range from 40 dBm to EXTRA POWER threshold dBm
When the received signal decreases and overcomes the LOW threshold the transmitter increases the
output power up to the nominal value. Only if the received signal overcomes the EXTRA POWER threshold
the transmitter increases the output power reducing its backoff (if LMA>LN only). The hysteresis for both
thresholds is 3dB.
The PRx value sent to the transmitter is refreshed with 10ms time interval.
In case of loss of Tx_Rx ATPC signal, exchanged between Tx and Rx, the output power is frozen and an
ATPC loop alarm must be activated (no other actions are taken); when the communication is restored the
ATPC loop alarm is disactivated after an hysteresis to be defined.
It is possible to enable or to disable ATPC function: when ATPC is disabled the output power can be driven
normally according to 3.3.2.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
Every power change, from manual to automatic and viceversa is performed at the speed of 1dB /10ms.
To be sure that a decreasing of Rx power of one receiver corresponds to a PTx increasing of the relevant
Tx in remote station an identifier station code must be used. The same identifier station code should
be set on the two station involved in the ATPC functionality avoiding that in crosstalk/interference or
RFCOH bypass in repeater the Tx in one station can be driven by a not relevant Rx.

A Line Loopback is a loopback where the incoming signal to a physical port is looped back onto
the outgoing signal (see Fig. 40. )
Internal loopback (RRA RFCOH)

This avoids that possible arising alarms can activate protections. To exit from this conditions, thus leading
system back to normal operating conditions, perform reverse command sequence:
end of measures channel loopback off channel lockout off
Channel lockout on/off and loopback on/off are performed by Craft Terminal (see Operators Handbook
for details).
2.6.4.2 Caution: recoverable and unrecoverable loopbacks (with RECT)
A LHR Network Element can be controlled, besides by the local Craft Terminal (ECT), by a Remote Craft
Terminal (RECT). In certain conditions, that are explained here, loopbacks setup by RECT are not
recoverable by RECT, therefore their settingup by RECT must be avoided.
The remote control by RECT is carried out by means of the DCC channel which allows to access the
Equipment Controller from the Remote Craft Terminal, as depicted in Fig. 53. on page 116.
DCC control channel uses two radio channels, in 1+1 protected configuration.
The couple of radio channels (x,y in Fig. 53. on page 116) which carry the protected service channel (as
well as the WST channels, if any) is defined via software. These channels can be chosen among the five
couples defined in Tab. 8. on page 50.
Figure in Fig. 43. on page 95 shows the position of the Equipment Controller EC with respect to the
loopback points A,B,C (these loopbacks are named as indicated in previous Fig. 40. thru Fig. 42. ).
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
Therefore, having defined x&y the couple of radio channels transporting the service channel, the following
rules must be followed for loopback settingup:
loopbacks on channels other than x&y:

there are no limitations (as these channels are not used for DCC communication purposes):
loopbacks setup by the local or remote Craft Terminal can be always removed by the local or remote
Craft Terminal
loopbacks on channels x&y (used for DCC communication purposes) setup by the local or remote
Craft Terminal:
ED
can be always removed by the Local Craft Terminal
with regard to the remotion possibility by Remote Craft Terminal :

a)
if only one DCC channel is available, i.e., when any of CHx or CHy is unavailable for
any reason, the loopback cannot be removed by the Remote Craft Terminal, according
to the direction from which the RECT tries (unsuccessfully) to access the controlled NE,
because its EC is not reachable, as depicted in Figures and in Fig. 43. on page 95.
b)
if both DCC channels are available, the loopback remotion by RECT is possible; obviously:
unrecoverable loopbacks must never be setup on both channels CHx and CHy
no failure on the other channel (not loopedback) CHx or CHy should occur in the
meanwhile
otherwise the same unrecoverable condition of previous point a ) will occur.

2.7 Signal Transmission

Hardware components
2.7.2 STM0 & STM1 Transmission

One of the most important peculiarity of the 9600LSY family is to allow the selection of the system capacity
according to the customer needs (and allowing band saving utilizing STM0 capacity, if it can be useful).
In particular, this feature can be applied to 7, 8 and 13 GHz bands, utilizing well defined channel
arrangements for medium capacity transmission. Please refer to section FREQUENCY PLANS & PART
NUMBERS to analyze the frequency arrangements and the channel steps foreseen for the various
frequencies in case of STM0.
Of course, the STM0 transmission is suitable to transport also plesiochronous signals with capacity 21x2
Mbit/s, 1 x 34 Mbit/s or 1 x 45 Mbit/s and the systems have been studied to allow an easy migration from
STM0 to STM1 (or viceversa) when the traffic and the band requirements are going to change.
As far as concerns the Way Side Traffic capacity, it is possible to transmit a single 2 Mbit/s WST stream
for each channel carrying STM1, whether in case of STM0 it is not possible to transmit any WST.
It is necessary to underline that no direct interfaces at STM0 level are foreseen. In case of STM0, the
interface user side is always at STM1 level but only the first VC3 is mapped ; in this way it is possible
to maintain the same electrical or optical interface (part numbers) independently from the signal capacity.
The real transformation between STM1 interface and STM0 signal takes place inside the RRA/Modem
unit before modulation (or after demodulation) function.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
In case of migration from one capacity to the other, no RRA change is necessary. Only the modem has
to be substituted inside the baseband assembly; simple hardware and software presettings (with a new
software configuration) are sufficient to upgrade the system.

Note that in European Standard only a subset of the generalized multiplexing structure is adopted, where
only plesiochronous interfaces at 2, 34 and 140 Mbit/s are used, but also the multiplexing of 3xAU3 into
AUG is forbidden (see Fig. 46. ).

The system can provide several kinds of user interfaces that may be synchronous (SDH) or
plesiochronous (PDH) and depend on the type of stations involved (Regenerator or WMSN) and the type
of transmitted bit rate (STM1 or STM0)
All the available interfaces are summarized, according to the different possible situations In Tab. 6. on
page 44. Details about electrical characteristic of each interface are reported in chapter Technical
Characteristics.
It is important to point out that in case of WMSN station (obtained coupling a 9600LSY Regenerator with
a 1650SMC device) inside the same rack), the interface between 9600LSY Regenerator and 1650SMC
is electrical and the equipment is represented by two separated N.Es .
Some general information that are valid for each version (line rate, physical interface) of the SDH and PDH
traffic interfaces are herewith outlined:
a)
b)
general rules for SDH unit:
SOH/POH bytes management according to the standard TTP or CTP rules (see also NERM)
Optical interfaces according to the standard G.957 short and long haul (see also NERM)
Automatic Laser Shutdown in compliance with G.958
general rules for PDH unit:
POH bytes management according to the standard TTP rules: (see also NERM)
Asynchronous bit mode mapping into the relevant VC payload.
Structure and /or notstructured PDH signals are transparently transported. The frame
structure information (e.g. : CRC,E,A,S bits) are neither handled nor monitored: bidirectional
passthrough at the PDH/SDH interfaces; furthermore, any potential PDHAIS condition is
transparently forwarded into the relevant VC.
Detection of VC signal fail conditions set to all 1 the outgoing PDH stream.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
Detection of the incoming PDHAIS conditions (G.706 standard, detection time = 4 frames) can be
enabled/disabled, without consequent actions at VC layer.

2.7.5 SOH bytes and service channel access
In the SDH system some SOH bytes (of SDH frame) are used to transmit the service channels. So we
can distinguish:
c)
RSOH bytes, that can be inserted/extracted both in multiplex and in regenerator station,
and
d)
MSOH bytes that can be inserted/extracted only in multiplex station.
Moreover, radio side, the transmission of 1 Way Side Traffic service stream (only in case of STM1
transmission) is performed mapping it on the bytes of two columns of the RFCOH. The AUX/EOW bytes
handled by the Regenerator and by the WMSN support two types of applications:
1)
Local access as termination: the auxiliary bytes of a trail termination can be bidirectionally
interconnected to the voice/data interfaces of the local service unit embedded in the equipment
itself.
2)
Crossconnection: the auxiliary bytes of two different trail terminations can be bidirectionally
interconnected providing an auxiliary channel passthrough between every couple of STM1
ports or different OH sections; it means each single byte can be configured to be
passedthrough from one direction (i.e. line side) to another one (i.e. radio side).
The auxiliary bytes connections are always unprotected and the selection of the bytes and the ports are
performed by CT/OS. The dashed cells in Tab. 9. herebelow show the set of potential OH bytes suitable
to be processed as auxiliary channels at the section or the path terminations, with the associated meaning.
RFCOH is a proprietary function implemented to transmit radio specific information (DSI, ATPC,
MC, WST) and to reroute over radio hop a few RSOH byte terminated.

RSOH RFCOH bytes cross connection
The following Tab. 12. shows for the Regenerator the possible AUX/EOW user interfaces suitable to
access the terminated channels:

Among them it is possible to choose, by software presetting, up to six 64 Kbit/s channels plus one voice
frequency channel (EOW), to be transmitted radio side in 1+1 protected way and to be dropped and
inserted in every radio station.
With reference to Tab. 10. on page 101, the RSOH bytes terminated line side may be in principle mapped

F1 plus max 3 bytes accessible (normally radio side) through the user interfaces 2 x 64 Kb/s, 1 x
V11 and 1 x V24.
Each interface (with the exception of the voice type ) supports only one direction; the same byte can
be assigned to different direction (for example line side and radio side) using 2 interfaces.
Way Side Traffic (WST)

Additionally, the regenerator allows the transmission, radio side, of one 2 Mb/s Way Side Traffic (WST)
that represents a service traffic in addition to the main one.
Both the WST and service channels are transmitted using the radio frame complementary overhead
(RFCOH, an arbitrary and unstandardized extra SDH frame overhead).
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
The main features of the 2 Mbit/s WST Channels management are the following:
STM1 capacity:
One 2 Mbit/s Way Side Traffic can be inserted in each STM1 channel whatever is the channel
spacing (28, 29, 29,65, 30, 40 MHz) used in the channel plans.
STM0 capacity:
No 2 Mbit/s Way Side Traffic can be inserted.
WST protection:
WST can be transmitted in unprotected way, one for each radio channel, by means of the interfaces
(1.0/2.3 75 Ohm coax male connectors) allocated in the access area of the subrack.
The possibility to transmit one 2Mb/s WST stream in protected way (on channels 0 and 1 ) is also
given. In this case the access is located on the front panel of Service unit that hosts the WST switching
functionality.
Automatic switching criteria are : Signal Fail (SF), HBER, LBER and EW.

2.7.5.3 WMSN Case

WMSN functionality is realized utilizing a1650SMC adddrop multiplexer .
When WMSN functionality is implemented, all the accesses to services are located on the 1650SMC unit,
and the ones located on the regenerator section no longer are no longer utilized.
For the description of the available service channels relevant to this unit, please refer to 1650SMC
Technical Handbook.
For an easy clarification about the service accesses, hereafter the front view of the 1650SMC view is
reported in Fig. 47. herebelow. The service access ports are located on the SERGI card:
for the DCCR (D1D3) and J0 the interfaces is towards SC

for the DCCM (D4D12) , S1 and M1 the interface is towards SC.

The EOW Channel allows the access to the phone services of the system.
It is interfaced with the telephone set with DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) Tones and with association
circuits, branching, exchange and receiving of the phone signal.
The EOW Channel allows the following types of linking:
between two station (selective call)
between one station and all the others (omnibus call)
between one and more stations called in selective mode (multi selective call).
Numbering System
The compatibility with the actual generation of devices is guaranteed by the type of numbering used, with
the two digits that identify the actual

2.8 Synchronization

This paragraph describes in detail the Synchronization features of 9600LSY family, and comprehends the
following main paragraphs:

Synchronization in Regenerator station
Synchronization in WMSN station by means of 1650SMC ADM
para.2.3 on page 47
para.2.4 on page 51

Hardware components
2.8.2 Introduction
SDH transmission operates on general principles that implies the existence of timing devices that form
part of a synchronizing network.
Different behaviors for synchronization are present depending from the type of station either Regenerator
or WMSN.
2.8.3 Synchronization in Regenerator station

In this case each incoming STM1 stream takes the network synchronization that is recovered by the
equipment and forwarded to the radio hop or to the line retiming the transmitted signal by means of the
recovered clock.
The regenerator does not need any other synchronization circuit.
2.8.4 Synchronization in WMSN station by means of 1650SMC ADM

The synchronization requirements implies that a WMSN equipment must include a synchronization
subsystem for a slave clock which functions are specified in ITUT Rec. G.783 as the Synchronous
Equipment Timing Source (SETS).
The Alcatel 9600LSY radio families are provided with 1650SMC ADM unit that supplies such
functionalities.
By selecting the external or internal reference source, the equipment works synchronized to the reference.
The 1650SMC unit can automatically change the reference involved if the selected one is not correct
or can holdover the operation mode if no input reference is available.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
1650SMC supplies the synchronizing and timing signals to all the equipment units (N.B.) by selecting
the synchronizing signal among the available input references.
To this purpose the unit can:
select the reference source involved;
change the reference (or mode) when it losses synchronism;
lock the Local Oscillator to the reference available;
work in Hold Over/Free Running LO mode when all references are lost.
N.B.
ED
In a radio terminal only the ADM takes directly the synchronism from the internal
synchronization path, while units of other subracks take indirectly the synchronism by means
of its own phase locked oscillators (e.g. modemodulators). Finally there are units that do not
need synchronism at all (e.g. units of transceiver).
03
955.203.292 Q
3DB 02839 AA AA
514
109 / 514
The automatic selection of one of the possible synchronization sources is performed on the base of quality
(SSM algorithm) or priority criteria:
a)
Priority Algorithm
See flow chart in Fig. 51. on page 112.
The reference source choice is performed checking the signal quality by detecting for every STM1
synchronization source:
LOS (= LOS + MSAIS + LOF + EXCBER)

DRIFT
and for every 2 Bit/s interface or synchronous tributary selected as source:
b)
LOS (= LOS + AIS + LOF)

DRIFT
LOF (+ LOM + CRC4 MISMATCH) For 2 Mbit/s interface only
SSM Algorithm
See flow chart in Fig. 52. on page 113.
If the Timing Marker procedure is enabled, the CRU checks the S1 Bytes from the synchronous frame
of the selected sources and the preset value of the 2 Mbit/s sources then, by the SSM algorithm,
chooses the better source to be used.
The SSM algorithm is in compliance with ETSI DE/TM 10156.
The two Algorithms define synchronization source, by switching the reference.
The switch between the source is hitless.
The switch from one reference to the other one occurs without passing through the Holdover mode.
The reference, sent to the PLL circuits, generates the 622 MHz signal used for internal
synchronization.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
The PLL can operates in these following different modes:
ED
Normal
The PLL output is frequency locked to one of the selected references.
Holdover
In absence of an external reference, the clock stored the frequency difference to the last
reference.
This information is used to fix the oscillator frequency value.
The holdover mode guarantees .37 ppm of frequency drift within the first 24 h
03
955.203.292 Q
3DB 02839 AA AA
514
110 / 514

The Compact ADM unit also provides an output synchronization signal at 2.048 MHz with an interface
according G.703 (T4 signal in G783)
This signal is squelched when the unit is working in Free Running or in Hold Over modes.
A maximum of 6 independent references can be defined by mixing type and PDH/SDH parts (the selection
is accomplished by means of craft terminal).
The selection may happen between:
timing reference signals coming from the TTF blocks on CompactADM (T1 signal in G783)
timing reference signals coming from the SDH ports (T1 signal in G783)
2.048 MHz signal coming from the PDH ports (T2 signal)
2.048 MHz clock coming from external source (T3 signal in G783)
The choice of the sources can be made in independent manner for the internal clock reference output and
for the external 2 MHz output.
By Craft Terminal it is also possible either to enable or to disable the Timing Marker algorithm.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10

ED
Free running
Without any reference and information stored in memory, the VCO oscillates at its natural
frequency.
Frequency variations can be due to temperature variations, components degradation etc.
The free running stability is 4.6 ppm. The following setting can also be managed by Craft
Terminal:
Lock out
The command allows to disable/enable a timing input from being considered as possible source
of timing.
Forced switch
The command allows to force the selection of a timing input.
If the source forced becomes unavailable, the internal oscillator will be selected.
Manual selection of timing source

The command allows to force the selection of a timing input.
If the source manual selected becomes unavailable, the manual mode is terminated and
automatic selection algorithm is initiated.

2.9.2 Introduction
9600LSY Digital Radio Relay Systems cannot operate correctly without Control and Management
Functions which are usually partially embedded as Synchronous Equipment Management Function
(SEMF) and Message Communication Function (MCF) in the involved Network elements..
Equipment control may be performed locally through an Equipment Craft Terminal (1320 CT) or remotely
through a Craft Terminal in a remote site.
External control units may be dedicated to a Radio subnetwork or may be the Control Elements of an SDH
Network including Radio Links, Fiber Optic Lines, Synchronous Multiplexers and CrossConnect
Equipment.
Inside an overall Managed Telecommunication Network, SDH Digital Radio Relay Systems are part of a
Managed Synchronous Network. The 9600LSY DRRS equipment interfaces the TMN according to ETSI
Standard and ITUT Rec G.784, G.773 and ITUR Rec 750.
The architecture of the management process, which is intrinsically a distributed process based on
Manager and Agent Functions, may influence in the design, the Equipment Control Architecture and the
identification of the Network Elements to be managed.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
To connect SDH Radio Equipment to a TMN System Qtype Interfaces are used, adopting the standard
Infomodel based QType Interfaces Qecc and QB3 for a full integration in a multivendor environment.

2.9 Equipment Control

2.9.3 The NE architecture

A Digital Radio Relay Link identified as a Radio Switching Section is composed of two Radio Relay
Terminals (RRT). Each physical entity RRT is a SDH NEs and therefore according to ITUT Rec G.784
they must have TMN Q3 and Qecc Interfaces.
All the SDH NE must be able to terminate the Regenerator Section (RS).
Two types of RRT are available depending on the ability to terminate a Multiplex Section (MS) or a
Regenerator Section (RS) only. This ability is required when the RRT having PDH tributaries (140 Mb/s,
2, 34 or 45 Mb/s) behaves like an SDH Multiplexer (i.e. WMSN station composed at least by two NEs:
1650SMC + LHR). When the RRT has SDH tributaries this ability is not strictly required and therefore the
RRT may be equipped with an RRA (Radio Regenerator Adaptation) Assembly (Regenerator station
equal to the NE LHR/LHRC).
Associated to the RS and the MS there are in the SOH of the SDH frame two Embedded Control Channels
(having as physical interfaces the D1D3 bytes in the RSOH and D4D12 bytes in the MSOH) carrying
the management information between the ends of the RS and MS respectively. These channels are
terminated in the Message Communication Function (MCF), located in the Equipment Controller of the
NE, which behaves like a Packet Switching Node. The communication interface of these channels on the
physical interfaces D1D3 and D4D12 is a 7layer full OSI protocol stack as defined in ITUT Rec G.784
named Qecc.
While the intersite or interoffice communications links between SDH NEs will normally be formed from
the SDH ECCs, within a particular site (intrasite connections) or when the SDH NE is acting as Gateway
Network Element (GNE) towards a Data Communication Network connecting the NE with an Operation
System (OS) a 7layer full OSI protocol stack named QBX is used. QBX is a Q3 type interface and with
reference to the foreseen protocol suites: QB1 is a Connection oriented over X.25 (CONS1) interface, QB2
is a Connectionless Mode over X.25 (CLNS2) interface and QB3 is a Connectionless Mode over ISO 8802
LAN interface.
The previous Qtype interfaces in their standardized versions implies the use of a Management
Application Software based on an objectoriented Information Model and the use at the 7th layer of the
OSI stack of protocols as CMISE, ROSE and ACSE.
The availability on the NE of all these QType TMN interfaces do not imply the contemporary use of all
of them. Their use and the criteria for selecting them is the TMN network designer responsibility according
to the management traffic load and the network layout. The only limitation imposed by standards is that
in the RRRs (and obviously in the RRTs equipped with RRA) the only RSOH has to be terminated
whereas the MSOH has to be passedthrough.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
As far as the QB3 and Qecc interfaces is concerned the following criteria in their use have been adopted.
In the WMSN station equipped with the Mux assembly, on the line side the DCC bytes of the MSOH and
the RSOH are transferred to the MCF and then processed by the SEMF or rerouted by the MCF to their
destination. While the DCCM bytes of the MSOH are reinserted in the SDH frame, the DCCR bytes of
the RSOH are reinserted in the SDH frame through the RFCOH and MODEM units with 1+1 protection
(Radio Channel 1 and 0). In the Regenerator station, while the DCCR of the RSOH are processed in the
same way as previously described, the MSOH remains untouched and is carried transparently.

2.9.4 The F interface

The F interface is the control interface connecting a Craft Terminal to a Equipment Controller.
The F interface is not a standard interface since in TMN there is only the F interface as reference point
between WSF (Work Station Function) and OSF (Operation System Function) and the F interface is not
yet standardized.
An F interface has been standardized for all the ALCATEL equipment and is using the following protocols:
Physical Layer:
Standard: EIA RS232C/ITUT V24V28
Type: Pointtopoint, Asynchronous full Duplex
Transmission rate: 38600 bit/s
Connector: 9 pin female Sub D
Data Link Layer:

Asynchronous HDLC standard protocol
ISO 3309 ISO 4335 ISO 7809
In 9600LSY terminal regenerator, F interface is located on the front panel of the System Controller unit.
In case of WMSN configuration, F interface available on 1650SMC unit is the one to be utilized as terminal
interface and represents the unique access to the terminal. In this case, by means of RECT software it
is possible to control, besides all the other terminals, also the functionality of the regeneration section
of the WMSN terminal. For this reason, the RECT option has to be always foreseen in case of WMSN
functionality.
2.9.5 The Qecc/QB3 interface
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
In the TMN (Telecommunication Management Network) Architecture, while Qecc is the communication
interface on the DCCs (Data Communication Channel) used as ECCs (Embedded Control Channel) in a
SDH Subnetwork, the QB3 interface is used to interface the SDH Subnetwork to the OSs, usually through
a DCN (Data Communication Network). The Gateway Function performing the protocol conversion (from
Qecc to QB3 and vice versa) is carried out by the GNE (Gateway Network Element) of the subnetwork.

2.9.6 ECT and RECT
ALCATEL TMN management products 1320 CT called Craft Terminals (CT) consists of a compatible
personal computer and application software specially developed for monitoring transmission
equipment. The CT designed to monitor a single transmission equipment is called Equipment Craft
Terminal (ECT) or 1320 CT.
For each station an ALCATEL proprietary Software Package (SWP) is to be employed:
SWP REG. 9600LSY for the Regenerator station
and, additionally, SWP 1650SMC for the WMSN station.

The Equipment Craft Terminal, connected to the F interface of the Equipment Controller, enable an
operator to perform locally the following Element Management functions:
Equipment Management
Transmission Management
Test management
External points management
Alarm (fault) management
Synchronization management
Radio Management
Performance Monitoring Management
Event log manager
Overhead Management
Connection Management
Software Management
Communication and Routing Management
Security Management
Support Management
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
RECT
The Remote Equipment Craft Terminal is a feature only present in the Single NE Link architecture
which allows the local operator, using an ECT connected to the F interface of the Equipment
Controller, to zoom and perform a complete set of management operations on all the reachable SDH
NEs in the SDH.
The Remote NE can be physically reached through QB3/Qecc.
The Remote Craft Terminal feature applies in NR5 to both Q3 and QB3* NEs, with the exception of
DXC. The feature is basically the same as for NR3 NEs, with the usual difference related to the
support of TSDIM interface for the management of Q3 NEs.
Despite the fact that this is supposed to be a NE related feature, it becomes a network feature
considering that the network can be composed of both Q3 and QB3* NEs and that an harmonization
is necessary between the two technologies.
The IMCT is able to manage both Q3 and QB3* NEs (in the sense that both QB3* and Q3 application
are working simultaneously), but it shall be connected to a Q3 NE. Viceversa Nectas CT will keep
on being able to manage only QB3* NEs, and it shall obviously be connected to a QB3* NE.
Its worth reminding that RECT can be connected to any NE pertaining to the same area of the local
NE and to any NE pertaining to different areas (assuming that the DCN network has been correctly
designed and hence interarea communication is possible from networking viewpoint).
As far as DXC is concerned, the RECT feature is not supported, i.e. a DXC CT can be connected
to only one DXC at a time.

ECT

Of course, due to the limitation of the physical resources in the Equipment Controller of the NE, some
network design constraints must be taken into account as the total number of managed NEs (64),
the number of the QB3 NEs (32), the number of the QB3* NEs (32), the number of associations
permanently open (31) between the CT and the remote NEs.
The RECT features and limitations are briefly the following:
1)
The RECT function provides a remote login facility similar to those offered by an OS to manage
several configured NEs, included the local one.
The contemporaneous presence of the RECT function and an OS is possible. The access
disable flag avoids access conflict between the OS and both RECT and ECT on some
operations as configuration modification and remote control with access filtering.
The NE which may be remotely controlled by a RECT must be configured and must be loaded
with the same SW version supporting the RECT function. A NE not supporting RECT function
shall refuse the incoming association issued by a RECT and the ECT displays only local
information.
Only three RECTs shall be active at a time over one NE. The coexistence of ECTs and RECTs
in the whole network is guaranteed since the conflict in configuring the QB3 NEs is solved locally
by the NE itself.
The operator, through the RECT function, is able to see the alarm synthesis of the whole
network .
In a SDH network the maximum number of QB3 NEs equipped with the RECT function are 32
and the maximum number of NEs (QB3* NEs and QB3 NEs) manageable by the RECT function
are 64. These figures identify what it is understood as small SDH network for which the RECT
function may substitute the Element Manager.

The main functions are:
a)
Power supply distribution to all the functional blocks present in the rack.
It is possible to distribute the two battery voltages up to 6 functional blocks installed into the rack.
All the output voltages are protected by automatic circuit breakers (up to 12).
In general, the choice of the breakers, existing also for lower current ranges, has to be chosen
following the effective current consumption needed by the subracks.
Maximum current supplied by each battery shall not exceed 60 A.

3.5.2 Channel provisioning/expansion guideline

9600 LSY is a fully expansible radio system. It means that, starting from the minimum 1+1 / 2+0
configuration, it is possible to increase the traffic capacity adding to the station the units necessary to
increase the number of radio channels up to the maximum allowed by the configuration.
Hereafter the expansion procedure is reported with the help of some figures illustrating the slots to be used
to house the added transceivers inside the mechanical assembly. Please, keep in mind that for the
RRA/modem units the same procedure is still valid; it means that the Base Band shelfs slots
corresponding to those utilized for the transceiver will host the associated RRA/modem units. In this way
the connections between transceivers and relevant modem units is realized by vertical parallel coaxial
cables, without cable crossconnections.
a)
If the branching unit utilizes a single polarization, the transceivers and the branching unit will be
added using the slots starting from left and going toward the right side of the subrack, as shown in
the next Fig. 59.
The maximum channel number depends on the channel plan. In every case the maximum number
of transceiver that can be housed in the subrack is 8.
The slot used for the protection transceiver (slot 1) is fixed and it is the first on the left of the subrack.
The example reported in the figure is limited to 4 channels.

If the branching unit utilizes two antenna polarizations , the transceivers and the branching unit
will be added installing them stating from the side walls and filling the subrack going toward the
subrack centre, in position left or right depending on the polarization of each transceiver, as shown
in the next figure.
The slot used for the protection transceiver (slot 1) is fixed and it is the first on the left of the subrack.
So, the antenna polarization of the radio channel used for protection (H or V) defines which branching
(H or V) will be installed at the left side of the rack. For the above reason, it is important to keep
in mind that H or V positions are not strictly associated to the left or right side of the subrack.
The maximum channel number depends on the channel plan.
The example reported in Fig. 60. is limited to 4 channels. It refers to a system with spare channel on
H antenna polarization and, consequently, with transceivers and branching connected to H
polarization on the left side of the subrack.

The next Fig. 61. shows the other possibility, in which the spare channel (2) utilizes the V polarization
and, consequently, the transceivers and branching are connected to V polarization and are
installed on the left side of the subrack.

1 RT on V pol)

The above figure shows only two of the possible expansions that depend on the mixing of (H) and
(V) transceivers that must be utilized.
d)
The next Fig. 62. gives an example of the installation of the units in case of frequency reuse
technique utilization in a 7+1 protected terminal. At first, the terminal utilizes the first 4 channels (with
channel 4 V as spare channel). The successive expansion of the system is performed adding the
channels working on the same frequencies but transmitted on the opposite antenna polarization.

The RRA units are connected to the transmission line through one optical or electrical
interface. The electrical interface is placed directly on RRA units, instead the optical one
on a optical module placed inside the RRA unit itself (a drawer into the front panel).
Slot 3 of Base Band shelf can be used as a standby radio channel in N+1 and 1+1
configurations; otherwise it is used as a main radio channel in N+0 configuration. In N+1
and 1+1 configurations, this slot can be equipped by a RRAS (RRA standby) unit and only
in N+1, the same interface previously described for the RRA (optical) can be provided, if
extra traffic is actuated; in N+0 configuration, this slot can be equipped by a RRA unit, in
this case the optical interface module can be provided.
Just one physical RRA unit exists both for transmission of STM1 signal or subSTM1 one.
The same thing is applied to the RRAS unit.

3.7.3 Composition of transceiver units

a)
TRI (Tranceiver)
The transceiver units have different P/Ns for the following characteristics (N.B.):
frequency range
modulation (128 QAM, 64 QAM)

This P/N is comprehensive of the Transceiver box (see Fig. 80. on page 158) and the following
internal components (see Fig. 81. on page 159):
RT control
Amplifier
Up Converter
Delay Line
DC/DC Converter
together with the associated internal cabling and the cabling relevant to the connection of Rx and Tx
LOs.
This P/N does not include the LO, R and FR KIT components, that are defined as separate items.
b)
LO (Local Oscillator module)

There are always two Local Oscillators modules inside a transceiver, one for the Rx section, the other
for the Tx section (see Fig. 81. on page 159).
The Local Oscillator modules have different P/Ns for the following characteristics (N.B.):
frequency range
possible application for a particular channel plan

Inside a TRI, these Local Oscillators must have the same P/N.
c)
R (Receiver module)
There can be one or two receiver modules inside a transceiver:
in the case the Transceiver is used without the Space Diversity configuration, there is only one
Receiver (named Main Receiver) as shown in Fig. 81. on page 159 and Fig. 82. on page 160,
and the unit front connectors are those depicted in Fig. 87. on page 165;
in the case the Transceiver is used with the Space Diversity configuration, two Receivers
(respectively named Main Receiver and Diversity Receiver) are equipped as shown in
Fig. 83. on page 160 and Fig. 84. on page 161, and the unit front connectors are those depicted
in Fig. 88. on page 166.
The Receiver Modules have different P/Ns for the following characteristics (N.B.):
frequency range
The Receiver P/N includes the associated internal cabling.
Inside a TRI, the Main Receiver and Diversity Receiver must have the same P/N.
d)
FR KIT (Frequency Reuse kit)

Only in case of Frequency Reuse systems:
one Frequency Reuse kit is equipped inside the transceiver housing the Rx Local Oscillator
defined as Master, as depicted in Fig. 82. on page 160 and Fig. 84. on page 161.
inside the transceiver housing the Rx Local Oscillator defined as Slave, the Frequency Reuse
kit is not equipped .
The Frequency Reuse kit has the same P/N for all frequency bands.
The Frequency Reuse kit P/N includes the module and the associated internal cabling.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
N.B.
ED
The P/Ns of TRI units and modules must belong to the same Frequency Plan group: please refer

4.3 Cable kits and cable types

The following Tab. 32. lists the cable kits envisaged for 9600LSY system and indicates the cable types
used in such kits, the drawing of which are given in the associated figures.
Notes for figures:
a)
b)
c)
the writings on cable connectors (like (A1) , (A2) , etc.) are used as CABLE SIDE information in the
following paragraphs, to point out the correct cable connections;
some labels are colored. In conjunction with the colored markers present on some units, this
facilitates cabling, matching the colour on cable label with that of colored marker on the unit front
plate;
in the CannonCannon cables the pin connection is 1:1 (i.e. pin 1 left connected to pin 1 right, pin
2 left connected to pin 2 right, etc.).

5.2 Equipment Control Subsystem

5.2.1 Control Subsystem Architecture
The equipment control subsystem is the full set of software facilities and the full set of hardware items,
devices and connections necessary to support such software.
This paragraph provides the overall architecture of this subsystem describing the macro functionalities
performed (reported in the following in italic character) and partitioning these functionalities into hardware
and software components.
5.2.1.1 Functionalities
Digital transmission systems can be broadly described as a collection of multiplexing, framing, transport,
routeing, timing and protection processes. Each of these processes can be decomposed into a collection
of atomic functions. These atomic functions interact with other functionalities, the equipment management
functionalities, which provide the atomic functions with configuration data and monitor the signals they are
processing, providing performance monitoring and alarms conditions to an external management system,
which is able to access to these information by means of communication functions.
Thus, the product functionalities can be broadly described according to the following functional
decomposition (see Fig. 111. herebelow):

The generic supervision process inside the NE, describes the way in which the occurrence of a
disturbance or fault is analyzed with the purpose of providing an appropriate indication of performance
and/or detected fault condition.

217 / 514
From transmission point of view, most atomic functions monitor the signals they are processing for certain
characteristics and provide performance information and/or alarm conditions based on these
characteristics. Therefore, transmission supervision process provides information on the external
interface signals that are processed by an NE.
Any equipment fault is represented by the unavailability of the affected functions because the transmission
management has no knowledge of the equipment as such. Equipment supervision process is concerned
with the fault localization and repair of the equipment itself. It does not require a knowledge of the
transmission network.
The supervision process is performed both in the atomic functions and in the management functions, so
it can be decomposed into major subprocesses: atomic function fault management and performance
monitoring, management function fault management, management function performance monitoring and
radio performance monitoring (see Fig. 112. herebelow). These processes are described in the next
paragraphs.

Transmission and equipment supervision processes are concerned with the management of the
transmission resources in the network and they are only interested in the functionality provided by a NE.
They require a functional representation of the NE that is implementation independent.
5.2.1.2 Atomic Functions

5.2.1.2.1 Supervision process

5.2.1.2.1.1 Fault management and performance monitoring process
The following Fig. 113. shows the supervision process inside the atomic functions. The anomalies
integration, consequent action control and defects correlations functions are components of the fault
management process and are performed both in the trail termination function and in trail adaptation
function. The performance monitoring primitives processing function represent the performance
monitoring process and is performed only inside the trail termination function.
The output signals cZZZ are the input signals for the management function fault management process,
while the output signals pZZZ are the input signals for the management function performance monitoring
process.

Anomalies integration (f1)

Anomalies integration (or defect filter) provides a persistency check on the detected anomalies while
monitoring the data stream. When passed the defect is being detected.
Two class of defects are reported to the defect correlation for further processing: transmission and
equipment defects. Equipment defects (hardware fault) with signal transfer interruption will be
reported per replaceable unit. These defects will cause a performance primitive N_DS (see below)
activation if equipment protection (EPS) is not available.
This function is performed by HW.
Consequent action control (f2)

This process provides the generation and the control of action consequent to detected defects. The
consequent action control process for each specific atomic function is described in the related
sections.
This function is performed by HW.

Defects correlation (f3)

Defect correlation process provides correlation to reduce the amount of information offered to the
EMF. It determines, from a set of activated defects, which fault is present.
This function is performed by SW.
These processes are summarized, for each atomic function, in Tab. 53. on page 221.
In order to simplify the reading of this table, it could be useful to remember the meaning of the RSPI
functional block (see ITUR 750 and ETS 300 635). It represents the radio frequency signal conversion
into an internal logic level STM1 signal, and viceversa. It contains the following radio functions (see
Fig. 114. below):

sufficient degree of confidence, the minimal set of defect should be txFail, modFail, rxFail and demFail.

The requirements for the performance monitoring is to provide both performance monitoring quality of
service (SDH regenerator section quality of service and typical radio sections quality of service) and
performance monitoring of radio specific parameters.
a)
Sections quality monitoring

The performance monitoring of SDH regenerator section (line side) must be consistent with the
performance monitoring of the remaining part of the SDH network ( e.g. optical link ). Methodology
used to provide performance monitoring are defined in DEN/TM 2246, ETS 300 417 series and
ITUT rec. G.783, G.784 and G.829. The evaluations on line side signal is given by means of B1
according to the standard methodology.

Hop Section: the section between two radio stations inside the protection section. Due to
the RPS location it is not possible to perform the monitoring of the hop section by means
of standard methodologies. It must be provided in a proprietary way by means of Forward
Error Correction.
Link Section: the section identifying the protected section (the section outside the radio
protection switching). The performance monitoring of the radio link section may be
performed by using B1 bytes at each side of the section. Methodology used to provide this
performance monitoring are defined in DEN/TM 2246, ETS 300 417 series and ITUT rec.

Radio specific parameter monitoring

Radio specific performance monitoring deals with monitoring of the radio specific functional blocks
RSPI and RPS. The parameters provided by this PM is used in close conjunction with the ordinary
ones related to quality transmission.
The global performance monitoring process performed in the LHR atomic functions is described in
the following Fig. 117. This process is completely applicable to the WMSN equipment. In this case
the PM related to the functional blocks performed by the WADM/WLT (i.e. at multiplex section level
by using B2 bytes) are added.

The one second primitives processing performs an integration of reported anomalies and defects by
counting them during a one second interval. At the end of each one second interval the contents of
the counters is made available to the performance monitoring process within the EMF for further
processing. Hereafter these performance primitives are described:
ED
Near end Errored Block Count (N_EBC) (f11)

This primitive counts, every second, the number of errored nearend blocks within that second.
A block is errored if one or more EDC violations are detected.
Near end defect second determination process (N_DS) (f12)

Every second with at least one occurrence of TSF consequent action (LOS, LOF, TIM ....) or
equipment defect is indicated as a near end defect second.
Out of Frame Second (OFS)

A OFS is a second in which the frame alignment process was in the OOF state for at least a part
of that second.

Received Level Threshold Second (RLTS)

A Received Level Second is generated if in one second period the detected RL is below a
predefined threshold. The threshold value is also expressed in minus dBm. At least two RLS
events are required corresponding to two different threshold values (TBD).
Transmitted Level Threshold Second (TLTS)

A Transmitted Level Second is generated if in one second period the detected TL is greater than
a predefined threshold. The threshold value is also expressed in dB. One additional TLTS
corresponding to a different threshold is optional (TBD).
This processing is performed only if ATPC functionality is available.
Protection Switch Actual Duration (PSAD)

Protection Switch Actual Duration represents one second period in which a channel is in the
switched status for at least a fraction of that second. This event is generated only for automatic
switches.
This event is defined for any channel involved in the protection scheme, both protected and
protecting channel, for protected channel this means that the associated traffic is carried by the
protecting channel, for the protecting channel that it is carrying traffic from a protected channel.
TBD in case of 1+1 non revertive mode (protected and protecting).
Failed Switch Request Duration (FSRD)

A Failed Switch Request Duration represents one second period in which at least for a fraction
of that second, an automatic switch request is detected active on the associated channel while
it is carrying regular traffic and the request cannot be completed. This event is required only
for working channels.
Hereafter the performance primitives that dont require one second filter are described:
Protection Switch Actual Count (PSAC)

Protection Switch Actual Count represents the number of protection switch actual occurrences
in one second. This counter is defined for any protected (working) or protecting (standby)
channel involved in the protection scheme (1+1, N+1, N+2). In case of protecting channel this
counter represents the number of any actual switch from any protected channel to this channel.
Failed Switch Request Count (FSRC)

Failed Switch Request Count represents the number of occurrences in one second of the
following events:
a protection switch request is activated on a working channel and the protecting channels
are not available
a working channel is restored from a protecting channel while the request is still active on
that channel.
This event must be generated only on protected channel. It must be generated in all the
protection scheme. The activation of a switch criterion on a given channel doesnt increment
the counter if another activation criterion is already present on that channel.
The one second primitives processing is performed by SW.

Fig. 118. Equipment management function

The SEMF interacts with the atomic functions by exchanging information across the MP reference points.
This information flow is related to configuration and provisioning data and to anomalies and defects
detected in the atomic functions. The EMF contains a number of filters that provide supervision process
by means of a data reduction mechanism on the information received across the MP reference points. The
filters outputs are available to the management application functions (MAF), via the network element
resources (NER). The NER provide event processing and data storage, while the MAF process the
information provide to and by the NER. The MAF represents the information as managed object according
to the object oriented approach.
The MAF converts performance data and implementation specific hardware alarms into object oriented
messages for transmission on DCCR channel and/or on Q interface. It also converts object oriented
messages coming from external manager into internal specific messages for AF configuration.

replaceable unit is reported as being faulty, all the signals processed by this unit are assumed to be
interrupted. The atomic function performed by this unit will represent this situation activating the
performance primitive Defect Second (DS).

5.2.1.3.2 Configuration and provisioning process

The information flow over the MP reference points related to configuration and provisioning data is
described in details for each atomic function in ETS 300 417 series and in G.783. It is to be noted the
necessity to provide to the RFCOH atomic functions with the following information:
the radio channel identifier expected value (to be compared with the one received on radio side,
functionality performed sink side)
the radio channel identifier value to be inserted in frame (functionality performed source side)
This information flow refers both to configuration and provisioning data passed to the atomic functions and
to status reports coming from the atomic function as response to a request from SEMF.
The channel number associated to each RT position and the definition of which positions assume
the spare rule in the radio protection scheme (RPS) must be configured by ECT operator.
This functionality is completely performed by software.
5.2.1.3.3 Software download
Software download process (local and remote) has the same feature already implemented for new
generation of the Alcatel equipment. In synthesis:
this process is hitless and causes no loss of control functionality when in progress

This function provides facilities for the transport of the TMN messages. It receives and buffers messages
from the DCC, Q and F interfaces and from EMF. Messages not addressed to the local site are relayed
to one or more outgoing DCCs in accordance with the local routing procedures and/or to Q interface (see
the following figure). In this way the TMN can be provided with a direct logical link to any SDH equipment
via a single Q interface and the interconnecting DCCs.

5.2.1.4 Message Communication Functions

5.2.1.5 Protections
Several types of protections are present in LHR equipment. They can be categorized into two classes: trail
and equipment protection.
The protection types can be characterized by the following parameters:
protection architectures (1+1, M:N)
operation type (revertive, notrevertive)
protection switch requests

Hereafter this parameters are described only for Radio protection, in case of equipment protection similar
considerations can be applied.
5.2.1.5.1 Radio Protection (RPS)
Radio Protection is a trail protection. It is used to provide protection for a working channel. Generally, this
function provides m protection channels for n signals against trail associated failures, both for hardware
failure and temporary signal degradation or losses due to propagation effects (e.g. rain or multipath
phenomena).The signal on the working channel is protected. This type of protection is performed by
switching a working channel to a protection section when the working section fails or when its performance
falls below the required level. A RPS function is used to perform the switching between the protection and
working section. The status of the sections is made available to the RPS function to allow it to decide when
an automatic switch should be performed.
Protection architectures
LHR equipment can support two different protection architectures : 1+1 or M:N. They are
characterized by the detection of failure events by the RSPI function; and the resultant
reconfiguration uses the protection switching functions that are in the RPS.
A 1+1 protection architecture has one working (protected) trail supporting one normal traffic
signal, one protection (protecting) trail and a permanent bridge.
At the source end, the normal traffic signal is permanently bridged to both working and
protection trail. At the sink end, the condition of the two traffic signals are monitored and the
better of the two is selected.
Due to permanent bridging, the 1+1 architecture does not allow an extra unprotected traffic
signal to be provided.
In 1+1 architecture single ended switching is provided. The switching is complete when the
traffic signal (service) is selected from protection trail at the end detecting the fault. The sink end
transfers the traffic signal (service) without communication with the source end.
This architecture is used both in revertive and nonrevertive mode.

A M:N protection architecture has N working (protected) trails supporting a normal traffic signal
and M protecting trail that may support the normal signal (if a protection switch is active) or an
extra traffic signal or a null signal (if no protection switch is active),
At the source end, when a defect condition is detected on a working trail, or under the effect of
appropriate external commands, the transported signal is routed over the protection trail and
the possible extra traffic is lost. At the sink end, the signal from this protection trail is selected
instead.
In M:N architecture dual ended switching is necessary. The traffic signal is switched from the
active to the protection trail at both ends of the protection span.
Dualended switching requires a communication channel between the two end of the protection
trail. This channel is called RAPS (Radio Automatic Protection Switching) or DSI channel.
RAPS provides information regarding the activation of switching procedure or about information
on the channel status that have to be shared at both ends of the connection.
Under dualended switching protocol, switching at only one end is not allowed. The two ends
have to communicate each other to synchronize the transfer of the traffic signal (service). If, at
one end, a switching criterion is detected, with a certain priority, a parallelizing request for the
involved traffic signal is sent to the remote end. When the positive acknowledge is received, the
switching is performed.
This architecture is used in the revertive mode.

M:N architecture is always revertive, 1+1 architecture may be revertive or not, this parameter can
be set by the management system, in revertive case it is possible to specify if the restore has to act
on channel 0 or on channel 1. In revertive mode of operation, the working channel is switched back
to the working section when the working section has recovered from failure or when a switch
command is released. In nonrevertive mode of operation, the switch is maintained even after
recovery from failure or release of a switch command.

Another priority criteria is associated to each channel. This information is used to select the channel
of highest priority when different channels have the same switch request. This priority may be set up
by the management system.
Lockout, forced and manual switch, exercise are external requests (from management system). In
the following some of these RPS requests are explained.
Lockout
The lockout RPS request is applicable to a working and to a protection trail, in both cases it
excludes one trail (working or protecting) from protection schema. In fact it prevents a working
trail from being protected and it prevents a protection trail from being used for protection.
Exercise
Exercising the RPS is done in order to detect silent failures on the RPS. The exercise operation
performs all the steps to perform a switch except for the actual switch.
Two types of exercise may be used:

Single exercise: the operator send one command to perform a single exercise. At the end

the operator sends the stop command.

Automatic Switch Initiation Criteria

An automatic switch is only initiated upon detection of a failure at the receiving end(i.e. Sink
side). If a failure occurs at the transmission end (i.e. Source side), an automatic switch will be
initiated by the remote(i.e. far end) network element when it detects the failure at its receiving
end. The failures that can be detected at the receiving end are the following:
HBER is generated by the RSPI functional block

LBER (or EWH): generated by the RSPI functional block
EW (or EWL): Early Warning generated by the RSPI functional block
Signal Fail: generated from RSPIlossOfSignal and fails (RxLos, RxFail, DemLos,
DemFail, LOF and RCIM of the RFCOH block and Equipment Defect for the functional
block RSPI and RFCOH (TBC).
Wait to restore
In the revertive mode, a working channel will be switched back to its working section when the
working section has recovered from its failure. In order to prevent several protection switches
due to an intermittent failure, a failed section must be faultfree during a fixed period of time
called waittorestore(WTR) period before it can be used again by a working channel. An Auto
Switch condition will override the WTR period.
The WRT period is not configurable by the management system.
In the nonrevertive mode, when the working section has recovered from its failure it will go
directly to the Do Not Revert state.
5.2.1.5.2 Equipment Protection (EPS)

Equipment protection is provided on:
RRA unit when the user interface is protected

Transceiver unit (Tx only) and RRA unit (RFCOH block only) in HST configurations
Protection architecture is 1+1 only.

No EPS is provided on tributary and aggregate (WADM/WLT subrack) units. As consequence the clock
reference unit function (on board the aggregate unit) is not protected.
No protection of the units composing the control subsystem (i.e. System Controller and Service units)
is envisaged (the payload traffic is not affected by their loss, because configuration data are present also,
and thus survive, on the peripheral units). Equipment configuration data, as a whole, are contained in a
nonvolatile memory in the System Controller unit. Such data can be backupped and restored to/from
the Equipment Craft Terminal/OS in order to limit the eventual reconfiguration of the NE to the delta
between the back up configuration and the state before the crash is occurred.

5.2.2 Control Subsystem Hardware Architecture

This paragraph describes the control subsystem hardware architecture, defines the control elements, the
function partitioning among them and the external and internal interfaces managed by this subsystem.
5.2.2.1 LHR control subsystem architecture
5.2.2.1.1 Function partitioning
The control subsystem provides the resources to support the communication interfaces and the
processing functions required by the TMN.
As described in the previous para.5.2.1 on page 217 (Control Subsystem Hardware Architecture), the
functionalities performed by the control subsystem can be summarized as follows:
Message Communication Function (MCF)
Synchronous Equipment Management Function (SEMF)
Virtual Machine Management Function (VMMF)
Physical Machine Management Function on whole equipment basis (PMMF/E)
Physical Machine Management Function on unit basis (PMMF/U)
Basic Functions (BF)

Each of these functionality groups includes functions with similar characteristics in terms of scope of
operation and performance requirements. In fact:
MCF have to support a high routing throughput and dont require a high availability
Management functions dont require a strict real time processing and a high availability
BF require a strict real time processing and high availability

5.2.2.1.2 Control elements
The control elements supporting the functionalities described above are:
Equipment controller (EC)
Radio Controller (RC)
Supervisory Units (SU)

The control elements logical hierarchy is depicted in Fig. 125. on page 238.
The functionalities are splitted on the control elements composing the control subsystem architecture.
Equipment Controller
One EC has in charge the MCF and VMMF: it provides resources (physical interfaces and protocol
stack) required for the communication between NE and the management systems (OS and ECT),
it performs all the control and management functions of the virtual machine (info model).
No protection of this control element is performed. The EC is physically located aboard the System
Controller board.
Radio Controller
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
One RC has in charge the PMMF/E: it provides the resources to support the control and management
functions related to the real physical machine.
No protection of this control element is performed. The RC is physically located aboard the System
Controller board.

The SUs have in charge the PMMF/U and the AF. This function requires a real time processing of
the data coming from the ASICs. The SU on board of each unit has the aim to provide an uniform
interface towards the RC avoiding a RC dependency from the HW where the SUs are
accommodated. One SU is accommodated in each unit.

5.2.2.1.3 Communication interfaces

A set of (serial and parallel) interfaces are defined as part of the control subsystem to support the
communication task.
They can be classified as system internal or external interfaces.
All the communication links used by the different processing functions (RC and EC) to exchange data each
other or to read/write data from/to the controlled objects (ASICs or other devices on board the different
cards in the equipment) are defined as internal interfaces.
External interfaces are defined as the communication links provided by the control subsystem towards
external devices used for Operation and Maintenance functions or system debug activities.
All the interfaces are reported in Fig. 126. with the association of the units supporting these interfaces.

External Interfaces
The control subsystem provides the following external communication interfaces:
QB3 interface
F interface
Qecc interface
DBG interface
HK/RA interface
QAUX interface
All the above interfaces are supported, at the NE level, by the EC processor, as part of its MCF and
VMMF.
The QB, F, Qecc, Qaux interfaces are available as communication links between the NE
and external control equipments, as required by the TMN environment.
The QB3 protocol stack requires a 10BASE2 (or 10BASET) physical layer and IEEE 802.2 / 802.3
for the data link layer. Through this interface the NE is connected to a LAN for message exchange
with the OS station.
The F interface is a local communication port provided to connect the NE to a local Craft Terminal
station (PC or WS); this interface is implemented as a low speed RS232 port (bit rate is 38,4 Kbit/s
max). Remote CT functionality is performed by routing CT messages to DCCs and viceversa.
The Qecc interface is defined as a TMN related communication interface based on the use of the
Embedded Communication Channels, available in the SOH portion of the SDH frame, as physical
layer. Through the Qecc interface the NE can exchange management messages with a remote OS
(or Craft Terminal) station.
Qecc interface is implemented as a TDM serial link between the EC function and the ASICs on board
of port units. The TDM channel is terminated by the MHDLC, providing for the selection of the
channels to terminate and performing the standard HDLC functions. This interface uses the LAPD
(ITUT Q.921) as data link layer protocol, this protocol is performed by the MCF inside the EC
function.
The Qaux interface is provided as an additional TMN communication interface for message
exchange between the NE and a remote OS station, based on the use of a 2 Mbit/s proprietary
channel.
The DBG interface is a proprietary interface available for software debug activities. A local
communication port for debug is required for each processor (EC and RC) on board the System
Controller. The local debug ports are a low speed RS232 UART based interface, available for VT100
or equivalent debug console.
An equipment network interface for debug activities should be provided as well, implemented as a
10BASE2 Ethernet channel. The EC function should provide a router function between this port and
the internal ISSB bus to allow the use of this port for debugging of RC processor too.
A set of traditional parallel I/O interfaces for local signaling of alarm presence, such as rack lamps,
front panel LEDs and so on are provided by the EC processor.
Internal Interfaces
The control subsystem provides the following internal communication interfaces:
ISSB (Intra Shelf Serial Bus) interface
CAN interface
SPI interface
The ISSB (Intra Shelf Serial Bus) interface is basically an equipmentinternal Local Area Network
for communications among the different microprocessors in the same shelf: the EC processor and
the RC processor and other possible processors. It is a multimaster HDLCbased backplane serial
bus.
The CAN interface allows to connect the RC processor to the microprocessor on board the units.
It is a serial broadcast bus, each node connected to the bus receives all the messages sent by the
other ones. A local filtering mechanism on each node permit to manage only the messages related
to the node. The maximum speed is 1 Mbit/s up to 40 meters length.

5.2.2.2 WMSN control subsystem architecture

The main characteristics of the WMSN control subsystem architecture are the following (see
Fig. 127. herebelow):
LHR and ADM equipments (1650SMC) control architecture reuse

This means that from the management system point of view this equipment is seen as two different
network elements (both of them with an own address). In this way the LHR and ADM hardware control
architecture are reused without any modification, allowing to preserve the independence of the
software developments of the ADM and radio parts.
Only one F and QB3 interface

The F and QB3 interfaces are present on the ADM part. The radio part sees the TMN information
by means of Qecc interfaces. RECT application is used to manage both the ADM part (directly
connected) and the radio part (via Qecc).

5.2.3.1.2 Module Decomposition

According to the functional decomposition described in the previous para.5.2.3.1.1 on page 242, the
partitioning of the software into the main design entities, the function and the purpose of each of them are
described hereafter.
a)
Virtual Machine Manager

The Virtual Machine Manager is composed of two main parts (see Fig. 128. on page 244):
Common Software (CSW)

CSW provides two different services:
External Communication Service (ECS)

It manages the protocols for the communication with the manager OS and IMCT.
Network Element Function Application (NEFA)

This component provides a representation of the network element by means of an
information model. This information model describes the equipment from the
management point of view as a collection of managed objects, which can be manipulated
by a management system.
NEFA component is composed by a common part (NEFAC) independent from the
physical resources of the network element that represents only the functionalities
performed in terms of functional managed objects, and a specific part (NEFAS)
dependent from the physical resources that implements the equipment managed objects.
Virtual Hardware Machine (VHM)

VHM manages the communication with the RC function both in terms of application data (it
sends to the RC the provisioning data and receives status and alarms) and in terms of
communication driver. The messages exchanged between EC and RC are logical messages
(information model oriented).
This component stores to persistent memory the data configuration coming from the
management systems.
b)
Physical Machine Manager
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
Physical Machine Manager provides a proprietary representation of the managed system in terms
of transmission resources and physical resources. It implements the PMM functions and generally
provides the conversion between the data how they are known from the physical machine and the
info model representation based on managed objects.

This block diagram of Fig. 129. herebelow shows some connection for SOH bytes management:

In case of RRA application, the access to SOH bytes is provided by RRA itself; in case of WADM and WLT
application, the access to SOH bytes is concentrated in the baseband part implementing WADM/WLT
functionality.
Each RSOH_byte, if terminated, must be terminated and accessible both at radioside and lineside. The
managed bytes (lineside) are the following:
E1
F1
#1.8, #1.9,
#2.2, #2.3, #2.5, #2.6, #2.8, #2.9,
#3.2. #3.3, #3.5, #3.6, #3.8, #3.9
E1 and F1 are always connected (radioside) to specific RFCOH channels.
The other ones can be connected (radioside) to 5 available interfaces.
In terminaltoterminal application the passthrough mode for each RSOH_byte is provided.
In WADM/WLT terminal application with radio repeater, when a specific service channel must be dropped
in the regenerator, the interested RSOH byte is rerouted in the RFCOH area according with the service
channel columns format (1152 Kbit/s stream):

5.2.4.3 ATPC Management

The information regarding the ATPC functionality can be resumed in the following (for each channel):
received power (absolute digital value to transmit towards the remote station in order to move the
Tx output power)
Rx failure (for remote Tx inhibition with reused system configuration)
ID_channel + ID_direction (for identification of ATPC channel in order to avoid the repeater bypass
of information and the exactly indication of transmission direction in case of 2+0 (N+0) eastwest
configuration)
They can be organized in registers of the CAN_BUS where the PRx and ID_ch information are transmitted
with higher priority than Rx fail.
They can be sent to the remote station by means 64Kb/s channel 1+1 protected. The information for each
channel received in remote station is sent to the relevant transmitter where the PRx information received
is compared to the thresholds set and it is decided to send up or down or hold commands to the RF
transmitter.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
The Rx failure received in the Tx remote station is used to switch off the relevant modulator. It will be
switched on after Rx failure removal. Of course the Rx failure alarm is not comprehensive of propagation
alarms.
The ATPC management is performed between two RFCOH sections. That means that in a repeater is
present an ATPC management EAST side and an ATPC management WEST side that work independent
way. The block diagram represented in the following is valid for terminal configuration but can be
considered valid also for repeater configuration EAST (or WEST) side if RRA unit indication is substituted
with DROP_INSERT unit indication.

In case of multiplexing of an AU4 via AUG, the position and the justification of AU4 structure is managed
by octets H1H2H3 type:
H2
H1
NDF
H3
POINTER
Negative justification
because the other part of the AUOH area:

H1
H2
H3
H3
H3
is filled with octets:

Y = 1001nn11 (where n is a nonspecified value)
U = 11111111
In this sense, we can assume that the only managed transport situation is for an AU4 structure inside
an STM1 signal, and the STM0 design is mapped with 3xVC3 structures (partially filled with the first
container only) into an AU4 unit (European standard).
The demultiplexing operation from an STM1 signal to an STM0 signal can be provided taking one
column for each three columns group, considering that only the first VC3 inside the AU4 structure of
STM1 frame contains the significant payload.
The VC4 POH is maintained in STM0 frame.
The fixed stuffing columns (11, 12) of STM1 frame are removed in STM0 frame.
When the STM1 standard interface is formed by an STM0 signal, the AUOH row is mapped according
to the previous description (H1, H2 and H3 are extracted from the STM0 format), and B2 parity
calculation has to be recomputed with the following criteria:
B2(#1) = B2 coming from STM0 frame
B2(#2) = Y U H3

During the multiplexing/demultiplexing of the STM0 signal for the transmission in the radio section of the
first TUG3 tributary, it is necessary to consider the following multiplexing structure, provided in SDH

NOTE:
In case of AU4 pointer = 0 (NDF=0110 and SS_bits=10) the default value for AUOH row is:
AUOH = H1 Y Y H2 U U H3 H3 H3 = 68 93 93 00 FF FF 00 00 00
In case of 3xVC3 mapping structure, the TU3 pointers for the unequipped containers are fixed to:
H1 H2 H3 = 68 00 00 (NDF=0110, SS_bits=10, pointer=0, pointer offset=0)
The STM0 frame is defined as that frame obtained from the STM1 one, by reducing its capacity to one
third of it.
The SOH bytes are divided into triplets, and the first byte is taken while the other two discarded.
The Higher Order container is a VC4/3, carried in an AU4/3.

For hardware convenience it is defined a new entity: AU4/3 carrying a VC4/3, being them structured as
an one third of an AU4.
The AU4/3 mapping carries VC3, VC2, VC12 by two pointer levels (AU_level and TU_level, cascaded);
moreover, fixed stuff columns in their mapping into AU4/3 are in fixed position with respect to the VC4/3
carrier.

TIM:
when J0 byte, extracted from SDH stream received, is different from the data written in
J0_register by microprocessor interface (according to the regenerator section trace
algorithm), Trace Identifier Mismatch (TIM) alarm is detected and the AIS condition is
activated.
MSRDI:
the Multiplex Section Remote Defect Indication is used to return an indication to the
transmit end that the received end has detected an incoming section defect or is receiving
MSAIS.
MSRDI is generated by inserting a 110 code in positions 6, 7 and 8 of the K2 byte before
scrambling.
MSAIS:
the Multiplex Section AIS indication detect an incoming AIS signal.

MSAIS is generated by inserting a 111 code in positions 6, 7 and 8 of the K2 byte before
scrambling.
N.B.
the Out of Frame Second (OFS) is declared when the STM1 frame alignment process is in the
OOF state.
This parameter is used as additional performance parameter.

5.2.4.8 Regenerator Section trace management

5.2.4.8.1 J0 management
The J0 byte located at # (1, 7) byte in an STM1 is allocated to a Regenerator Section Trace. This byte
is used to transmit repetitively a Section Access Point Identifier so that a section receiver can verify its
continued connection to the intended transmitter. Within a national network, or within the domain of a
single operator, this Section Access Point Identifier may use either a single byte (containing the code
0255) or the Access Point Identifier format as defined in clause 3/G.831. At international boundaries, or
at the boundaries between the networks of different operators, the format defined in clause 3/G.831 shall
be used unless otherwise mutually agreed by the operators providing the transport.
A 16byte frame is defined for the transmission of Section Access Point Identifiers where these conform
to the definition contained in clause 3/G.831. The first byte of the string is a frame start marker and includes
the result of a CRC7 calculation over the previous frame. The following 15 bytes are used for the transport
of 15 T.50 characters (international Reference Version) required for the Section Access Point Identifier.
The 16byte frame description is given in Table 4/G.707 reported herebelow:

In the case of interworking of equipment implementing the STM identifier functionality (see N.B.) and
equipment employing the Regenerator Section Trace function, the latter shall interpret the pattern
0000001 in J0 as Regenerator Section Trace unspecified. This unspecified Regenerator Section
Trace can also be used if no use of the Regenerator Section Trace is made.

STM identifier: C1
In earlier versions of the Recommendation, the content of bytes located at S (1, 7, 1) or [1,
6N+1] to S (1, 7, N) or [1, 7N] was defined as a unique identifier indicating the binary value of
the multicolumn, interleave depth coordinate, c. It may have been used to assist in frame
alignment.

The Trail Trace Identifier is a 16_BYTE or 1_BYTE string used in SDH to detect misconnections inside
a communication network. A receiver has to validate the received string, in order to be sure that it has not
been corrupted by line errors, and compare it with an expected value, in order to verify that it is connected
with the right transmitter. If this is not the case, the receiver has to declare a TIM (Trace Identifier Mismatch)
alarm.
The 1_BYTE string is made by a single byte (containing the code 0255), while the 16_BYTE frame is
structured as previously described.
In the following, the algorithm to detect the TIM condition is described: this algorithm is applied at all SDH
layers in which Trail Trace Identifier feature is defined, so it is suitable for processing byte J0 (section trace)
and bytes J1, J2 (VCi path trace).
The algorithm behavior is shown in the following Fig. 138. :

Incoming data are at the same time checked in order to find the standard 16_BYTE string with multiframe
alignment word and CRC7, or a fixed 16 times repeating 1_BYTE string. The preset 16/1 is needed to
tell the system if a 16_BYTE or a 1_BYTE string is expected. After validation process (correct CRC7 and
multiframe for the 16_BYTE string, same value 16 times for the 1_BYTE string), the received string is
compared with the expected one. If the preset 16/1 is set to 16, the comparison with 1 is always false;
if the preset 16/1 is set to 1, the comparison with 16 is always false.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
Each output (that can assume three possible values: false, true, dontcare if the received string has
not been validated) of the two comparisons is sent, through a COMB function, to a state machine (the
TIM1/16 machine) with four states: alarm, not alarm, and two intermediate states. False causes the state
machine moving towards the alarm state, true causes the state machine moving towards the not alarm
state, dontcare leaves the machine in the state it is.
In parallel, further control is performed by the TIMX machine, in such a way that if for 8x16 times neither
a fixed string nor a correct multiframe alignment word plus CRC7 can be found, the TIM alarm is anyway
declared (this feature is not required by standards at now).
The TIM algorithm described is fully compliant with the standard promptness requests about maximum
detection time and is able to detect all possible crossmisconnections:
expected 1_BYTE string, with a different 1_BYTE or a 16_BYTE string received;
expected 16_BYTE string, with a different 16_BYTE or a 1_BYTE string received;
expected 1_BYTE or 16_BYTE string, with a random string received.

Here below, TIM algorithm is described in more details:

a)
16_BYTE DETECTOR
As it can be seen in the following Fig. 139. , the 16_BYTE detector internally consists of four
functions:
a multiframe aligner in order to synchronize the machine itself to the 16_BYTE frame;
a CRC7 extractor, in order to calculate the CRC7 from the received frame;
a mismatch detector, in order to determine whether a received 16_BYTE frame is different from
the expected string;
a command generator, which drives the TIM1/16 machine, depending on the outputs of the
preceding two functions.

5.2.5 Remote Inventory subsystem
The Remote Inventory function permits the operator to retrieve information about any card or module
present on the equipment.
The available information, written in a 64x16 bit EEPROM on board (RI device), is: construction date, code
number, maker name, Cardtype, etc. (see details in the Operator Handbook).
The Remote Inventory function is present in all the cards.
The RI can be also present on some submodules assembled on the board (such as optical modules,
microcontrollers and so on).
The relevant data are transported by the CAN bus and are managed by the System Controller unit, which,
besides the information retrieved from the units RI device, add the slot identifier (ID) information.
The System Controller unit can also manage the visual indications of the board (LEDs) and some I/O
parallel commands/contacts/alarms that can eventually be transferred by means of the CAN bus.
The agent microcontroller on each unit manages the Remote Inventory, with the exception of Power
Supply Units (PSU) and Battery Filter units (PSF), that are supported by ESC Agent.
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
The Remote Inventory of units submodules (CANCCOMB modules, Additional TPHDEV and Optical
interface) are supported by the respective Agent Unit.

DCCR Management
The System controller manages the DCCR at line side and radio side.
In order to connect DCCR to the Controller, the FPGA inside ESCON board requires a particular
bidirectional link working at 6.48 Mhz.
In order to avoid slips on dropped DCCR byte, due to different frequency between the clock extracted from
STMj (j=0 to 9) and the local timing used to resynchronize the resulting DCCR subframe, a stuffing
mechanism is realized.
The DCC mapping and interleaving is described in Tab. 56. on page 255.
An EPLD performs three bidirectional links in order to insert/extract the DCCR line side of the all RRA
units, and DCCR radio side from/to Service unit:
On the first link 6.48.48 Mbit/s are mapped :
DCCR 192Kbit from/to Service units
DCCR 192Kbit from/to RRASTB0
DCCR 192Kbit from/to RRA 1
On the second link 6.48 Mbit/s are mapped:
On the third link 6.48 Mbit/s are mapped:
Summarizing/Housekeeping Alarms
The ESCON subunit manages 9 Input and 14 Output signal alarms. By means of the alarms expansion
circuit located on ESC mother board, there are 22 Input and 56 Output signals available.
In 9600LSY application the following number of alarms are managed:
22 HK input
10 HK output
46 output alarms
In order to reduce the power consumption, all relays are switched off in normal conditions; the presence
of active alarms corresponds always to closed contact with a common wire available to the Customer.
The electrical characteristics of relays are: (V is voltage between the warm wire and the common one).

The Power Supply subsystem distributes both batteries BATT.A and BATT.B voltages to each user circuit
in the following way:
a)
Primary voltage distribution (see Fig. 145. herebelow for block diagram, and Fig. 94. on page 176
for physical implementation).
Primary sources BATT.A and BATT.B are connected to TRU distribution frame.
From TRU box, BATT.A and BATT.B are distributed by individual cables, each one protected by circuit
breakers, to the subracks (Tab. 15. on page 128 indicates the TRU breaker utilization).
b)
Power Supply distribution in the Transceiver shelf (see Fig. 145. herebelow and Fig. 97. on
page 181).
Power supply cables from TRU are connected to following connectors:
(M2) for BATT.A and (M3) for BATT.B, by means of which transceivers TR0 to TR4 receive
power through the shelf backpanel

DCCR line side Extraction /Insertion from/to Service Unit
RFCOH radio side Extraction/insertion from/to Service Unit
DCCR radio side Extraction /Insertion from/to Service Unit

On the front of the board the following interfaces are available:
the STM1 electrical interface (it is fixed on the board and cannot be extracted)
one red led to indicate the card failure

On the RRACHANNEL unit it is possible to insert the optical interface module (refer to para.5.4.4 on page
292 for its description).
RRACHANNEL description
An electrical CMI /NRZ conversion is performed with LOS input alarm generation in Tx section. In the
receive section the complementary operations are performed.
The RRA uses two ASICs:
one implementing:
the Input/Output RRA Section (Regeneration Termination Adaptation according to G783)
and the Hitless switch, performing the RPS (Radio Protection Switching) function
the other, implementing:
the RFCOH Insertion/Extraction function
and the unprotected 1*2Mbit WST Insertion/Extraction function.

All these functions are bidirectional.
Delay cells, placed in TX sides, compensate the static delays resulting from the different paths of the two
signals.
The delay can be set with one bit step in the range 0 to 256 bits.
Delay cells, placed in RX side, compensate the static delays resulting from the different paths of the two
signals. The static delay equalization is obtained by means an automatic procedure to facilitate the
approach during field installation.
At RX side, whenever both paths are aligned, the phase comparator generates an OK command,
indicating that a switching operation can be performed.
The Switch command comes from the logic switch placed on the service board.
Inside the ASIC, the loopback connections are present, as described in the Equipment Control Subsystem
description (see para.5.2.1.2.2 on page 226).
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
The Automatic Laser Shutdown (ALS) is managed by the ASIC.

The alarms, commands, and every other information regarding the communication with System controller

Second IF input XPIC or IF diversity
Third IF input XPIC from cross polar receiver (has to be utilized when reuse and diversity are used

One red led is also present to indicate the MODEM card fail.
Modem description
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
In a single ASIC the following parts are implemented: MLC code and decoder, Mapping 128 QAM, Digital
filter, BSE, FSE, XPIC and Base Band combiner.
The main functions are described in the following, according to MODEM block diagram (see Fig. 152. on
page 296):
I/O
The input/output interface, composed by NRZ signal and CK signal, is internal interface. The signals
come from/to RRA unit / RRA STBY or DROP in repeater configuration, no external access is
available.
The input/output signal is converted in four parallel streams; because of different transmission
capacities planned, the streams have, accordingly, different rates.
MLC code error

The MLC 6,5/7 coding scheme employs a set of binary codes of decreasing Hamming distance
combined with nested signal constellations of increasing Euclidean distance. Each code selects one
of the two subsets into which the corresponding constellation level is portioned. In this way a more
efficient use of redundancy is possible, since more powerful codes protect points a low Euclidean
distance, while less powerful codes are used for points at larger Euclidean distance. The coding
scheme uses both convolutional and blocks code.
The convolutional codes are the powerful ones in the scheme, while the block codes is a simple parity
check.
The first level code/decoder convolutional is obtained by Viterbi decoder for the code 2/3
The second level code /decoder convolutional works with an other Viterbi for the code 7/8
The Third level has a Wagner decoder for code 24,23
To reduce the effects of burst errors due to the convolutional code, a suitable interleaving technique
has been implemented. The structure of the interleaving is based on the introduction of distinct delay
chains on the parallel signal stream.
The two signals, the in phase channel and the quadrature channel, after MLC code QAM mapping
they are sent at 1/T frequency to a 36 taps digital shaping filter. The two filtered signals come out from
the ASIC at 2/T frequency.
ASIC output signals are converted into analog signals by two D/A converters (10 bits) and, then, a
Butterworth filter (7 poles) filters them.

BB/IF Side modulation

Two IF (140 MHz) inquadrature carriers are modulated by the two filtered signals by means of two
balanced mixers. Then, modulated carriers are summed in order to generate a 128 QAM
CROSSmodulated signal.
First IF/BB Side demodulation

First IF (140 MHz) signal (from main Transceiver) is BB converted by means of two mixers that are
controlled by a carrier recovery circuit.
Converted signal is, then, filtered by two Butterworth analog filters that have to guarantee proper NFD
for different modulation formats (poles number =9, cutoff frequency fco=0.55 0.65/T).
Two A/D converters sample filters out coming signals.
Second IF and third IF

A baby board called second IF and third IF carry out the same function of the first IF main.
Second IF is applied from diversity or cross polar signal.
When diversity and copolar are contemporaneously used, a third IF input is connected to
crosspolar main receiver.
Clock recovery
A Gardner synchronizer that controls a VCXO, which provides a sampling signal at 2/T frequency,
performs clock recovery.

Equalizer (FSE/DFE)
Into ASIC are implemented a synchronous equalizer (BSE Baud Spaced Equalizer), and a
Fractionally Spaced Equalizer (FSE).
FSE consists of a dual structure FIR filter and two mixers. Filtering section is 4D structured, (i.e. it
consists of four 19 taps filters), DFE consist of four 1 tap decision.
XPIC
When the frequency reuse is requested the XPIC cancellers the crosspolar interference.
On each way in dual polarization the IF signal is baseband converted, filtered and sampled by A/D
converters at 2/T frequency. Samples taken at t=KT are distinguished from those taken at
t=(KT+T/2) by XPIC S/P converters by means of 1/T frequency clock signal.
XPIC is adapted by means of error signals coming from equalizer and its central coefficient is left
spare for phase errors recovering.
XPIC output signal is sent to equalizer way adder.
XPIC way ASIC receives algorithm switch control signal and deep fading reset signal from equalizer
way ASIC.
Base band Combiner

Space diversity is based on the simultaneous reception of the transmitted signal at two vertically
separated antennas, its effectiveness depend on the fact that the correlation between the two fields
is low if the antennas are well separated.
The baseband combiner, which operates on the coherently demodulated signals is based on the
minimization if the mean square error at the decision device.
The scheme is the same of XPIC with these difference: the central coefficient is constrained, we have
one Clock recovery by a Gardner synchronizer for each IF signal. An estimation of the power of the
signal at the output of the two FSE is calculated. The clock that has the grater power is selected
Gardner algorithm is implemented in ASIC Modem

5.4.6.1 Service Channels
The service channels (see Fig. 153. on page 299) are managed by a FPGA able to provide on external
interfaces (programmable by ECT) the RSOH bytes from/to line side channel (channel 0 to 9) and also
RFCOH bytes protected in 1+1 from RRA units.
Eight channels are be provided towards Users. In particular:
One (omnibus channels on E1 byte), one telephone jack and three analog party lines
3 x 64 kbit/s V11 or 2 x 64 kbit/s and 1 x128 kbit/s , V11 (Sw configurable for connection to 1 or 2
bytes)
3 x 64 kbit/s G703
1 x 9600 kbit/s V24/V28 Data channel
The service unit manages a TPH byte only to/from the RFCOH byte protected in 1+1 or to/from external
connection.
The desk telephone TPH, by HD selection, can be sent either into RFCOH byte or toward ADM in format
G703 (see block diagram).
E1, F1, D1D3 bytes are always accessible both at radio and line side, while a maximum of 5 bytes line
and radio side may be accessed chosen between the remaining RSOH bytes.
At radio side, the service channels (comprehensive of DCCR, monitoring channels, ATPC, DSI bytes) are
dropped/inserted in 1+1 protected mode (splitted at Tx side and switched at RX side).
The Tx service alarm (ATL RFCOH) is remotized by means of monitoring channel (with 1+1 protection)
to be used with ATL and HBER remote alarms as minor switching criteria, while demodulator alarm and
HBER alarm are considered major switching criteria.
By means of a matrix function it is possible:
to address to service the lineside user interfaces RSOH bytes from different RRA and/or RFCOH
bytes (7 bytes) on RRA used for 1+1 protection;
to reroute RSOH bytes to RFCOH and viceversa.
For the detailed description of RSOH, RFCOH and DCCR management, please make reference to
para.5.2.4 on page 245 (Signal Management).
5.4.6.2 2Mbit Way side traffic
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
The FPGA, after HDB3/NRZ conversion, splits the 2Mbit/s asynchronous digital stream.
The two channels (N.B.) are inserted/extracted to/from a selected couple of RRA units among the those
specified in Tab. 57. on page 297. To minimize the errors during the switching operation a make before
break switch is adopted and particular care is taken in switching logic.
N.B.
ED
In first release, only one channel can be used (see Fig. 69. on page 145).

In, N+1 configuration, this function performs the hitless switch, by processing the propagation alarms
coming from demodulators. The Tx and Rx functions, respectively in station A and station B of the link,
must be connected by 64 Kb/s (DSI channel) to exchange information for Tx signal parallel before RX
switch. The 64 Kbit signal is processed in Switch logic.
The Switch logic N+1 is carried out inside FPGA and performs the following functions (see
Fig. 154. herebelow and Fig. 155. on page 301):
gets the switching controls from the regular and standby channels
determines the weights of various channels: priorities and simulations
protects and releases the channels in N+1 configuration, using two service units in 4+1 E/W
configurations (this latter function not used in current release)
performs the lookout and incoming inhibit
manages the freezing operations
manages the manual forcing at the receive side.
