Native2 Microwave Radio Technology

At the heart of the IP-10 solution is Ceragon's market-leading Native2
microwave technology.
With this technology, the microwave carrier supports native IP/Ethernet
traffic together with optional native PDH
PDH.
Neither traffic type is mapped over the other, while both dynamically share
the same overall bandwidth.
This unique approach allows you to plan and build optimal all-IP or hybrid
TDM-IP backhaul networks which make it ideal for any RAN (Radio Access
Network)
Native

In addition, Native2 ensures:

Very low link latency of <0.15 msecs @ 400 Mbps.
Very low overhead mapping for both ETH & TDM traffic
High precision native TDM synchronization distribution

RF Principals
RF - System of communication employing electromagnetic waves (EMW)

propagated through space
EMW travel at the speed of light (300,000 km/s)
The wave length is determined by the frequency as follows c
velocity of electromagnetic
Wave Length where c is the propagation
f waves in vacuum (3x108 m/s)
Microwave refers to very short waves (millimeters) and typically relates to
frequencies above 1GHz:
300 MHz ~ 1 meter
10 GHz ~ 3 cm
Polarization and Rain

Raindrops have sizes ranging from 0.1 millimeters to 9 millimeters mean
diameter (above that they tend to break up)
Smaller drops are called cloud droplets
droplets, and their shape is spherical

As a raindrop increases in
size, its shape becomes more

Atmospheric conditions (refraction)
Terrain (flatness, type, Fresnel zone clearance, diffraction)
Climatic conditions (rain zone, temperature)
Rain attenuation

Dispersion
Electromagnetic signal propagating in a physical medium is degraded
because the various wave components (i.e., frequencies, wavelengths) have
different propagation velocities within the physical medium:
Low frequencies have longer wavelength and refract less

High frequencies have shorter wavelength and refract more
10
Page 23

Atmospheric Refraction
Deflection of the beam towards the ground due to different electrical
characteristics of the atmospheres
atmosphere s is called Dielectric Constant.
The dielectric constant depends on pressure, temperature & humidity in the
atmosphere, parameters that are normally decrease with altitude
Since waves travel faster through thinner medium, the upper part of the wave
will travel faster than the lower part, causing the beam to bend downwards,
following the curve of earth
With Atmosphere
No Atmosphere

Multipath
Multipath occurs when there is more then one beam reaching the receiver
with
ith different amplit
amplitude
de or phase
Multipath transmission is the main cause of fading in low frequencies
Direct beam
Delayed beam

Page 24

Duct
Atmospheric duct refers to a horizontal layer in the lower atmosphere with vertical refractive
index gradients causing radio signals:
Remain within the duct
Follow the curvature of the Earth
Experience less attenuation in the ducts than they would if the ducts were not present

Rain Fading
Refers to scenarios where signal is absorbed by rain, snow, ice
Absorption becomes significant factor above 11GHz
Signal quality degrades
Represented by dB/km parameter which is related the rain density

Rain drops falls as flattened droplet

Fresnel Zone
Note that there are many possible Fresnel zones, but we are chiefly concerned
with zone 1.
If this area were blocked by an obstruction, e.g. a tree or a building, the signal
arriving at the far end would be diminished.
When building wireless links, we therefore need to be sure that these zones are
kept free of obstructions.
In wireless networking the area containing about 40-60 percent of the first Fresnel
zone should be kept free.

RF Link Basic Components

Antennas
Antennas are devices used to radiate electromagnetic energy into space.
OMNI-DIRECTIONAL antennas radiate & receive energy from all directions
at once (seldom used)
DIRECTIONAL antennas radiate energy in LOBES (or BEAMS) that extend
outward from the antenna.
The radiation pattern contains small minor lobes (weak with little effect on
the main radiation pattern)
19
Page 27
RF Link Basic Components

Parabolic Reflector Radiation (antenna)
Microwaves travel in straight lines - it can be focused and reflected just as
light rays.
rays
A feeder receives the microwaves from the WG and then transmits them
towards a parabolic dish (reflecting surface)
The wave-front reaches the reflecting surface of the antenna, and then it
leaves the antenna in parallel paths
Because of the special
p
shape
p of a parabolic
p
surface, all paths from source to the reflector and
back to end user are the same length

Digital Modulation
Modulation
Modulation is used to transfer a message (voice, image, data, etc.) on to a
carrier wave for transmission
transmission.
A low frequency that comprises the message (baseband) is translated to a
higher range of frequencies
Modulation allows higher data rate transmissions
The process of modulation is reversible.
A device that performs modulation is known as a modulator and a device that
performs the inverse operation of modulation is known as a demodulator

QPSK Modulation
Quadrature Phase Shift Keying is a phase modulation algorithm

The phase of the carrier wave is modulated to encode bits of digital
information in each phase change
Because QPSK has 4 possible states, QPSK is able to encode two bits per
symbol
QPSK is more tolerant of link degradation than 8PSK, but does not provide as
much data capacity

QAM Modulation
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation employs both phase modulation (PM) and

p
modulation ((AM))
amplitude
The input stream is divided into groups of bits based on the number of
modulation states used.
In 8QAM, each three bits of input, which provides eight values (0-7) alters
the phase and amplitude of the carrier to derive eight unique modulation states
In 64QAM, each six bits generates 64 modulation states; in 128QAM, each
seven bits
bi generate 128 states, and
d so on

Protection Port (only for standalone units)

Protect your Main unit with a STBY unit
Protection ports on both units deliver the proprietary protocol to
support automatic or manual switchover
The FE protection port is static (only used for protection, not traffic). Its switching is performed
electrically. If the unit is a stand-alone, an external connection is made through the front panel. If the
unit is connected to a backplane, the connection is through the backplane, while the front panel port
is unused.

For antenna ports, lightning protection is used
that does not permit transients of a greater
magnitude than the following:
Open Circuit: 1.2-50us 600V
Short Circuit: 8-20us 300A
The ampacity of the conductor connecting the
IDU frame to the DC return conductor is equal to
or greater than, the ampacity of the associated DC return conductor.
25
Power General Requirements

1. A readily accessible Listed branch circuit over-current protective device,
rated 15 A, must be incorporated in the building wiring.
2. This equipment is designed to permit connection between the earthed
conductor of the DC supply circuit and the earthing conductor at the
equipment.
3. The equipment shall be connected to a properly grounded supply system
4. The DC supply system is to be local, i.e. within the same premises as the
equipment
5. A disconnect device is not allowed in the grounded circuit between the DC
supply source and the frame/grounded circuit connection.
26
Page 57
Power Requirements
When selecting a power source, the following must be considered:
DC power can be from -40.5 VDC to -57.5 VDC.
Recommended: Availability of a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Source),
battery backup, and emergency power generator.
Whether or not the power source provides constant power (i.e., power is
secured on weekends or is shut off frequently and consistently).
The power supply must have grounding points on the AC and DC sides.
The

Dual DC Feed
In boards with dual DC feed hardware, the system will indicate whether received
voltage in each connector is above or below the threshold power (40.5v
approximately).
This will
Thi
ill b
be shown
h
iin ttwo ways:
1. The LED (and its WEB representation) will only be ON if the voltage is above
the threshold
2. If voltage is below the threshold an alarm will be raised
User may configure the system not to raise an alarm in case of under-voltage
for any of the supplies.
This is used for cases where the dual feed hardware is used
used, but in the
installation only one of them is actually connected, so that no alarm is
permanently raised.
29
Installing the IDU-ODU IF cable

Route the IF Coax Cable from the IDU to the ODU/RFU and terminate it
with N-type male connectors.
Note: Make sure you fasten the cable along the ladder!
Make sure that the inner pin of the connector does not exceed the
edge of the connector.
The cable should have a maximum attenuation of 30 dB at 350 MHz.

Connecting IDU to EMS

1. Connect your EMS/NMS to the IDU (port 7) with ETH CAT5 cable
2. Verify that your PCs IP is in the same subnet
3 Make sure Link is up
3.
4. PING the IDU
5. Launch a WEB browser with the URL set as the IDUs IP
9
Management Troubleshooting
In case PC cannot PING IDU
1. Check your ETH cable it might not be inserted properly (broken PIN)
2. Verify the management port is enabled in the EMS General/Management
configuration
3. Make sure you connect to a management-enabled port (7, 6 or 5)
4. Verify right LED is ON (see below)
5. Verify your PC is in the same subnet as the IDU
6. In case your IDU is connected to a router: set the IDUs Default GW = Router IP
7. In case your PC is connected to several IDUs (through switch/hub) make sure
every IDU has a unique IP
When ON (Green) = Port is set to Management
When OFF = Port is set to Data

ATPC Automatic Transmit Power Control

The quality of radio communication between low Power devices varies
significantly with time and environment.
This phenomenon indicates that static transmission power
power, transmission range
range,
and link quality, might not be effective in the physical world.
Static transmission set to max. may reduce lifetime of Transmitter

Side-lobes may affect nearby Receivers (image)
Main Lobe
Side Lobe
Page 135

To address this issue, online transmission power control that adapts to
external changes is necessary.
In ATPC, each node builds a model for each of its neighbors, describing the
correlation between transmission power and link quality.
With this model, we employ a feedback-based transmission power control
algorithm to dynamically maintain individual link quality over time.

1. Enable ATPC on both sites
2. Set reference RSL (min. possible RSL to maintain the radio link)
3. ATPC on both ends establish a Feedback Channel through the radio link (1byte)
4. Transmitters will reduce power to the min. possible level
5. Power reduction stops when RSL in remote receiver reaches Ref. level

MRMC Adaptive TX Power

Designed to work with ACM in certain scenarios to allow higher Tx power
available at lower order modulation schemes for a given modulation scheme.
When Adaptive TX is disabled:

Maximum TX power is limited by the highest modulation configured in the MRMC ACM
script.
In other words, when link suffers signal degradation, modulation may change from
256QAM to QPSK. However, Max. power will be limited to the value corresponding as
Max. TX in 256QAM.
When Adaptive TX is Enable:

When link suffers signal degradation, modulation may change from 256QAM to QPSK.
However, Max. power will increase to compensate for the signal degradation.

Ceragon proprietary Mechanism
Improves the effective throughput by up to 45%
Effectiveness is reduced as the number of L2 streams is increased
MAC header compression is based on the following:

Dropping the Preamble + SFD + IFG saves 20 bytes
Dropping the Ethernet type saves 2 bytes
Adding a GFP header adds 4 bytes
In addition:
Frequently repeating SA & DA are learned
Learned DA & SA are not transmitted
A short pointer is used instead of the original 12 bytes

In case of detection, the following takes place:

Signal failure is generated at the corresponding trail this will cause the far end not to
receive a signal (including trail ID indications) and the trail status to show signal failure

XC / SNCP / Nodal Solution
Introduction
Page 167
SNCP (ITU- G.805)
Ring topologies provide path protection for Ethernet or TDM signals
In some scenarios additional protection is required
The IP-10G Path-Protection is based on SNCP

(Sub-network Connection Protection)
Individual E1/T1 trails will be protected by defining two separate trails, with the same
end-points, which are routed through two different paths in the network
The end-points may be line interfaces or radio VCs, so partial path protection can
provided for a trail in a network where full p
path redundancy

available
The end-points are also referred to as branching-points

Introduction
MSE - Definition
MSE is used to quantify the difference between an estimated (expected)

value and the true value of the quantity being estimated
MSE measures the average of the squared errors:
MSE is an aggregated error by which the expected value differs from the
quantity to be estimated.
The difference occurs because of randomness or because the receiver
does not account for information that could produce a more accurate
estimated RSL
4
Page 184
To simplify.
Imagine a production line where a machine needs to insert one part

into the other
Both devices must perfectly match
Let us assume the width has to be 10mm wide
We took a few of parts and measured them to see how many can
fit in.

To evaluate how accurate our machine is, we need to know how many parts differ
from the expected value
9 parts were perfectly OK

Error = + 2 mm
Error = - 3 mm
Error = + 6 mm
Error = - 4 mm
width

To evaluate the inaccuracy (how sever the situation is) we measure how much the
errors differ from expected value
7
Giving bigger differences more weight than

smaller differences
Quantity
Error = 0 mm
+ 2 mm = 4
-3 mm = 9
- 4 mm = 16
+ 6 mm = 36
width
6mm 7mm 10mm 12mm
16mm
We convert all errors to absolute values and then we square them

The squared values give bigger differences more weight than smaller differences,
resulting in a more powerful statistics tool:
16cm parts are 36 units away than 2cm parts which are only 4 units away
8
Page 186
Calculating MSE
Error = 0 mm
Quantity
+ 2 mm = 4
-3 mm = 9
- 4 mm = 16
+ 6 mm = 36
width
To evaluate the total errors, we sum all the squared errors and take the average:
16 + 9 + 0 + 4 + 36 = 65, Average (MSE) = 13
The bigger the errors (differences) >> the bigger MSE becomes
9
Calculating MSE
MSE determines how narrow / wide the Bell is

When MSE is very small the Bell shaped histogram is closer to perfect
condition (straight line): errors = ~ 0

MSE in digital modulation (Radios)

Let us use QPSK (4QAM) as an
example:
QPSK = 2 bits per symbol
01
00
2 possible states for I signal
2 possible states for Q signal
11
= 4 possible states for the

combined signal

values (constellation) of the
received signal (RSL)

The black dots represent the
expected values (constellation)
of the received signal (RSL)

00
The blue dots represent the
actual RSL

As indicated in the previous

example we can say that the
example,
bigger the errors are the
harder it becomes for the
receiver to detect & recover the
transmitted signal

Using MSE
Commissioning with MSE in EMS
When you commission your

radio link
link, make sure your MSE
is small (-37dB)
Actual values may be read

-34dB to -35dB
Bigger values (-18dB) will

result in loss of signal
16
Page 190
MSE and ACM

When the errors is too big, we need
a stronger error correction
(
)
mechanism (FEC)
Therefore, we reduce the number
of bits per symbol allocated for data
and re-assign the extra bits for
correction instead
For example
256QAM has
h greatt capacity
it but
b t
poor immune to noise
64QAM has less capacity but much
better immune for noise

4.
When the radio is in optimal conditions, MSE is near -35dB

When MSE drops below -27.5dB, we will experience high BER
To avoid High BER we change the profile when MSE reaches -31dB
Now that the radio is @ profile 6, the MSE must improve to -32.5 to recover
high capacity (profile 7)

ACM & MSE: Another approach

In this graph we refer to a 56MHz channel. It is easier to observe the
hysteresis of changing the ACM profile with respect to measured MSE.
As you can see,
see the radio remains @ profile 6 till MSE improves to -32.5dB:

ACM & MSE: Another approach

When RF signal degrades and MSE passes the upgrade point (MSE @ red point), ACM will
switch back FASTER to a higher profile (closer to an upgrade point) when MSE improves.

waits

What is Protection?
A method of using one or more devices in a

standby mode in order to have a secondary
li k up when
link
h ffailure
il
occurred
d tto th
the active
ti lilink
k
In order to achieve a full protected link each

and every device should be protected
The number of multiplied devices depends on

the link importance
The process of keeping (something or someone) safe

Wikipedia.com
Everybody needs Protection
General Guidelines
1. A Standby IDU is referred to as the Mate
2. When a switchover occurs, the Active IDU becomes Standby and the
Standby
Standby IDU becomes Active
Active
3. Accessing a Mate IDU can only be done via the Active IDU
4. Accessing the "Active" IDUs is achieved via unique IP addresses or via
Floating IP (supported only with IP-10G)
5. Y-Split cables must be used for Ethernet signals
6. ETH Cross Cable* (Protection Cable) is used to connect the protection ports
of both IDUs:
With IP-10 - use ports number 4
With IP-10G in a standalone mode use the dedicated PROT port
* Unless units are in chassis

Page 208
External Protection
Achieved by using two standalone IDUs
The IDUs must be connected by an Ethernet Cross cable (dedicated protection ports)

Shelf Protection
When enabling a Shelf Protection, the following rules should be applied:
Shelf backplane replaces the external Protection Cable
Never insert or extract an IDU while powered up
Always secure IDUs to shelf enclosure with provided screws
Protection can be enabled in each pair (1+2, 3+4, 5+6)
IDU in slot 1 & 2 must have a unique IP address

Floating IP
The Floating IP address feature is meant to provide a single IP address that will
always give direct access to the current active main unit.
1.

2.
3.
4.
The Floating IP and Unique IDU IPs must be in the same subnet
The Floating IP and Unique IDU IPs are user
user-configurable
configurable
The Floating IP is copied from Active to Mate (following Copy to Mate command)
When Protection is applied, the Floating IP is assigned to the STBY IDU which
becomes the Active
5. The extension IPs are irrelevant (unseen by network)
6. OSS & NMS can access all IDUs (Main and Extension) via SNMP
7. Alternatively, users may access any of the units using their local IP addresses

Two are better than One
As the equipment is doubled, we can use

the standby unit to receive the signal as

The baseband signal, after demodulation,

is transferred to the active IDU
The active IDU decides whether to use is

own signal or the signal received by the
standby unit
Valid only in a shelf installation

Guidelines
1. XPIC is supported with IP-10G IDUs in version 6.6.1 and higher
2. XPIC can only be configured in a node:
slots 1+2 and/or slots 3+4 and/or slots 5+6
3. IDU license determines the allowed script and link capacity
4. Identical configuration should be used in all IDUs participating in a link:
XPIC Script
Frequencies
SW version (IDU, ODU)
HW version (IDU, ODU)
Protection is disabled
If any of these conditions is not met, an

alarm will alert user. In addition, events will
inform user of which conditions are not met.
XPIC Recovery Mechanism

The main purpose of the Recovery Mechanism is to recover link availability
due to hardware problem rather than fading issues
The recovery mechanism maintains a working link while attempting to recover

the faulty polarization
The mechanism applies periodic attempts to mute the problematic remote

transmitter
The time between one attempt and another is exponentially increased to

avoid unnecessary TX Mute when interference is temporary (allowing
sufficient to recover)
At the end of the process, if the problem still exists, the problematic link will
be permanently muted unless the user manually un-mutes it
Page 230
XPIC Recovery Mechanism

The indication to entry the recovery mechanism is a loss of modem
preamble lock, which takes place at SNR~10dB
The number of Mute/Un-mute attempts is user-configurable:

1.Recovery attempt time
2.Initial time between attempts
3.Multiplication factor for attempt time
4.Number of retries
5.Enable / Disable
Users are advised to maintain Factory Defaults
Please Note:
Every recovery attempt will cause a brief traffic hit in the working link

Multi-Radio Configuration
Page 232
What is Multi-Radio?
Allows splitting traffic from one Ethernet port
into two links in a 2+0 configuration
Multi-Radio saves the need to have an

external device to combine traffic from two
Ethernet ports in order to reach beyond
567Mb
The 2+0 configuration can be either XPIC or
different frequencies
13
How Does it Work?

Every byte is transmitted either over the master or the slave
The distribution is proportional to the available bandwidth in every link
If both links have the same capacity, half the data is sent through each
link
If the links use different modulations, data is distributed proportionally in
order to maximize the available bandwidth
If the links have different capacity, data is distributed proportionally in
order to maximize the available bandwidth

Troubleshooting
Link Commissioning
1. Make sure IF Cables are identical in length (H and V)
2. Commission the H link as a single link system with V channel muted,
verify RSL and MSE are as expected
3. Commission the V link as a single link system with H channel muted,

verify RSL and MSE are as expected
4. Check stability of RSL readings

5. Upon confirming the above steps, proceed to configure XPIC as explained
in previous slides

Improving XPI Levels

When XPI levels < 25, antenna feeders need to be re-aligned.
One of the parameters that impacts the XPI is the antenna XPD
(Cross Polarization Discrimination)
In the following steps, we shall measure the antenna XPD to determine the
XPD of each antenna
1.
2.
3.
Mute H transmitters on both ends: H link is irrelevant now

Measure RSL on H receivers: we measure the v interference now
Measure RSL on V receivers calculate the difference between V and H
TX = OFF
In this example, the XPD is
not good enough:
The difference is only 20dB
We need to aim for a bigger
difference (better XPI)
TX = OFF
RSL = -70dBm
70dBm
RSL = -50dBm

Improving XPI Levels

4. Re-align the antenna feeders to read a bigger difference:
RSLH RSLV > 25dB

5. Un-mute the H transmitters
6. Repeat steps 1-4 for the V link
TX = OFF
In this example, the XPD is
much better:
The difference 28dB
That means, XPI = 28dB

2+2 Configuration
The 2+2 configuration consists of two pairs of IDUs, Each pair is an 2+0 link
(can be in XPIC configuration or in different frequencies).
The two pairs are inserted into separate chassis and are connected by a
protection cable between the main IDUs in slot #1 only.
Protection is performed between the pairs - at any given time one pair is
active and the other is stand-by.
STBY

2+2 Configuration
For this configuration we define the following terminology:
1. Master unit ((lower IDU in each pair):

A system may either be in 1+1, 2+2 or protection disabled. The configuration
is separate in each of the four units
units, and user should configure all four units to
2+2.
In order to switch from 1+1 to 2+2 the system must go through protection

2+2 Configuration
All the conditions for 1+1 HSB protection apply for 2+2 as well (between
master units)
While in 2+2 mode,
mode all commands and configurations available for 1+1
protection are available as follows:
o Locking, forcing protection is done from master units only
o Copy to mate operation is available separately in master units and slave units
2+2 Operation
The principles of 2+2 operation are an extension of 1+1 protection:
The same criteria (interfaces LOS, LOC, LOF) are monitored and compared
between active and stand-by units (Comparing is carried out by master units)
All enabled interfaces of all four IDUs are monitored

A missing slave unit is interpreted as LOS in its interfaces. A missing master
is a no mate condition During 2+2 operation
10
Page 247
2+2 Maintenance
The following procedures are relevant when changing units in a 2+2 node:
Replacing slave units (extensions)
1. Protection lockout to the Master-active.

2. Insert new unit.
3. Power it up.
4. Enable protection 2+2 HSB.
5. Copy to Mate
6. Connect the ODU to relevant Eth, PDH/SDH Y-cables/fibers.

XPIC & 2+2 Protection

2+2 XPIC is a common application.
Since these two are unrelated mechanisms, a number of safeguards have
been put in place to assure their proper operation in tandem
tandem.
When configured as 2+2, the XPIC recovery mechanism is disabled.
The reason for this is that in case of a failure in a link, the system will switch to
the stand-by pair instead of attempting to recover the link, as done in 2+0
XPIC.
Additionally,
y in order to assure that the conditions for XPIC exist (in
( p
particular
having the same radio script and frequencies), the following mechanisms are
active in a 2+2 configuration:
13
XPIC & 2+2 Protection

The following parameters can be changed only at the master unit; they will be
automatically changed at the slave unit accordingly:
Radio script
Radio TX frequency
Radio RX frequency
Should the change at the slave unit fail for any reason, the change at the
master will be rolled back and user will be given an error message.

Ethernet Capacity (a.k.a. Ethernet L1 capacity) - Total
bit rate from an Ethernet user port. Taking into account
the full Ethernet frame including the IFG and preamble
fields. Ethernet capacity is sometimes referred to as
"port utilization rate".
Radio Throughput - Total bit rate supported by the
radio link running in a specific channel/modulation
including radio frame overhead, etc.
Utilization (%) is displayed as one of five bins:
0 20% 20-40%,
0-20%,
