Wi-Fi in a Nutshell
Wi-Fi was originally designed for Wireless connectivity between a single

Access Point (AP) and multiple clients
Wi-Fi is a mass market solution, delivering best effort service using

unlicensed frequency bands
Originally, Wi-Fi was intended to support LAN connectivity over a short

range in an indoor environment for private use
It was intended to deliver traffic on a best effort basis without QoS

(Quality of Service) or SLA (Service level Agreement) between an
Access Point and the clients
Wi-Fi is by its nature a point-to-multipoint (PtMP) technology

Wi-Fi in a Nutshell
The huge indoor Wi-Fi market that has emerged over the last few years has
made the technology attractive for outdoor applications due to its apparent
economy of scale
An examination of the Wi-Fi outdoor user base, indicates that it is commonly

deployed by small limited budget ISPs:
Serving residential users without QOS or SLA
Over short ranges of several kilometers
Offering Internet access with low capacity under 1Mbps
The ready availability of chips and reference design in the industry, has
reduced the entry barrier for potential manufactures tempting many vendors
worldwide to offer this technology as a low-end broadband access solution

Wi-Fi Performance Overview
Interference in the unlicensed band used by the Wi-Fi (2.4GHz) is

increasing steadily with the proliferation of Wi-Fi devices
In addition, its incidence is quite random. Part of this interference is

due to the concentration of many Wi-Fi transceivers in a given area
and part of it is due to other systems using the same bands
RADWIN Training
Center |
It dramatically affects both the Wi-Fi service availability and capacity:
1. Wi-Fi link operation is not guaranteed due to interference
The operating frequency channel (20MHz) in many of the Wi-Fi transceivers is manually
selected during network configuration
Intensified interference while operating the equipment may intermittently drop the Wi-Fi
link until the interference drops to an acceptable level or until channel reselection takes
place which may require manual intervention
Those Wi-Fi transceivers that dynamically select the frequency channel search for signals
with a Wi-Fi pattern only: During channel selection, they check for the presence of a WiFi
signal rather than measure the spectral energy in the channel
That means that they are blind to any type of interference not due to Wi-Fi. Thus, these
transceivers may select a channel that is not subject to Wi-Fi interference, but does suffer
from interference due to other radio systems with a spectrum pattern different from Wi-Fi
RADWIN Training
Center |
It dramatically affects both the Wi-Fi service availability and capacity:
2.
Wi-Fi link capacity is highly vulnerable to Interference
Wi-Fi clients and AP sense the air-interface before sending data
Having certain level of interference in the channel might delay the transmission for
short or long periods,
hence, reducing the effective capacity with no way to avoid it
In addition, when error data is received, the Wi-Fi sender resends the whole packet
from the beginning
In harsh environment this approach not just reduces the capacity but also increase
the latency and makes it erratic, therefore damage the QoS of time constrain traffic
as VoIP and video
Long term experience shows that on average, the Wi-Fi network

capacity for TCP traffic
is less than 30% of the maximum modem rate
RADWIN Training
Center |
Wi-Fi Deployment Limitations
Wi-Fi capacity performance can easily be degraded in certain

deployment or service scenarios, unless special care is taken and
even that may not help
Such degradation increases the TCO (Total cost of ownership)
Typically, the initial equipment cost is a small part of the TCO
But - note that compromising on transceiver equipment quality will

also lower the Link capacity
RADWIN Training
Center |
Capacity degradation due to a concentration of APs (Access Points)
The Wi-Fi transmission and reception periods are not constant and subject to the size of the
transmitted packets
Hence, when several APs are collocated on a site their transmission and reception are not
synchronized
Consequently, they interfere with each other even though they may transmit on different
frequency channels
The end result is significant reduction of link capacity over a given distance or alternatively,
reduction of link distance for a given capacity
Spatial separation of the APs improves the performance but requires additional costly space
RADWIN Training
Center |
10
Wi-Fi cannot support delay sensitive services
Being designed for best effort data transmission, Wi-Fi is not aware of delay sensitive
applications such as video and voice
It therefore treats them as regular over-the-air data traffic increasing the end to end delay
To make matters even worse, this increases the delay variation of delay sensitive traffic
There are some Wi-Fi clients that support the WMM (Wi-Fi priority policy for Multi Media), being
able to prioritize multimedia packets over other packets during transmission
Such prioritization is essential but not enough: The Wi-Fi air interface (meaning the algorithm
for modulation selection) is intentionally tuned to deliver packets with PER (Packet Error Ratio)
up to 10%, relaying on higher layers such as TCP to re-transmit the packets with errors.
Consequently, the multimedia packets, carried over UDP are not retransmitted upon error,
degrading the end to end performance of voice and video services
RADWIN Training
Center |
11
VoIP traffic dramatically reduce Wi-Fi capacity
Due to the Wi-Fi air protocol (Air link sensing before transmission and acknowledgment
mechanism), a short packet of 64- 128 bytes as used by VoIP, reduce the Wi-Fi capacity
by tens of percent
Typically, one AP can handle only 7-10 VoIP channels! Obviously, this capacity shortage
can be compensated for by adding more APs, leading in turn to capacity degradation
due to concentration as described in the first bullet above

12
To Summarize:
1.Wi-Fi is aimed at indoor LAN connectivity for best-effort data
applications
2.Wi-Fi technology suffers from inherent drawbacks that prevent it
from being appropriate to high-end broadband applications like
long range backhaul, mission-critical or business applications
3.The vulnerability of Wi-Fi links to interference results in erratic
capacity in an outdoor scenario
All of these weaknesses limit the Wi-Fi solution investment
protection, adding up to a relatively
high Total Cost of Ownership along with degraded
price/performance at the high end

Performance Overview
Automatic Channel Selection (ACS)
Both during configuration and as a result of the link dropping, RADWIN radios
automatically chooses the clearest operating channel. In the event of a link drop it resynchs itself within few seconds. This minimizes service interruption due to interference
and ensures high link availability
Synchronous TDD
The WinLink 1000 transmits and receives on fixed timing basis, regardless the level of
interference. Therefore, unlike Wi-Fi, its transmission cannot be blocked by high level of
external interference
Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ)
The WinLink 1000 transceiver checks every portion of the packet immediately when it
received and upon error it requests re-sending again and again it until it correctly
received. This process avoids loss of capacity due to retransmission of the whole packet.
It also improves the link error performance to PER better than 0.1% for time sensitive
UDP traffic as TDM, VoIP and video while keeping the latency to the minimum necessary
RADWIN Training

14
Performance Overview
Support of Data and TDM
WinLink 1000 is built to support both data over Ethernet and native TDM. As
mentioned above, special care of TDM traffic enables low error rate with low end to
end delay. Stable and fixed capacity for variety of services The WinLink 1000s air
interface ensures that the net capacity is indifferent to packet size. It is therefore
highly efficient even for services with short packets as VoIP
Support of collocated PtP links
The WinLink 1000 supports Hub Site Synchronization (HSS). HSS is a unique Radwin
collocation technology designed to support Multiple Point-to-Point architecture from
one hub site to many remote sites. It avoids mutual interference between the
collocated PtP transceivers, therefore maximizing the dedicated capacity per site

Conclusions
1. Wi-Fi offers low cost outdoor wireless solution to the low-end market
with best-effort SLA
2. As shown, Wi-Fi links availability and capacity are highly vulnerable to
outdoor interference
3. Further, its capacity is subject to the type of traffic and to the network
topology, therefore it does not fit broadband mission critical
applications as backhaul or business environment
4. This raises serious questions about the true economics of Wi-Fi: Low
initial costs, heavy operational costs due to patching an inferior
solution along with a loss of customer confidence and the customers,
themselves!

Upon reset or activation, the HBS scans all channels (selected in

ACS) for the less interfered channel (lowest noise)
The less interfered channel is assigned for the entire sector
When activated, the HBS will commence transmitting and receiving

packets related to sector management only

HSU Registration
Registration of an HSU enables service traffic between the HSU and

the HBS.
During the registration process, you assign time slots to each HSU.
A total of 16 time slots are available to each HBS to be distributed

among the HSUs in the sector.
The relative number of time slots determines the relative amount of

service each HSU will receive.

Physical Survey
Ensure that the sector sites are suitable for the wireless network:
1.From the compass readings taken in the preliminary survey, find
the azimuth (horizontal position) that each HSU ODU should face
towards the HBS ODU.
2.Using binoculars, locate any obstructions such as tall trees, high
buildings, hills or mountains. Look for other RF towers between the
two sites. Mark the locations of the obstructions on the map.
3.Determine the location for the ODU (having regard for existing
rooftop installations and tower space). It should be above any
obstructions, considering the Fresnel zone.
4.When installing ODU on a tower, make sure that the tower is far
enough from overhead electric power lines.
5.Determine a location for the indoor equipment; it should be as
close as possible to the ODU. At an existing site, there is probably an
equipment room with cable-routing channels.

Measure and record the path length of the cable from each
ODU position to the indoor equipment room.
7.
Determine the ground and lightning connection points of the

installation. The ODU and PoE must both be grounded.
8.
Using the Ohmmeter, measure and record the resistance of

the required installation to the grounding point. The resistance
must be less than 1O ohm.
9. Review the results of the physical site survey. Decide if the site is
suitable for the wireless network installation:
If the site is suitable, you may proceed (RF Survey)
If the site is not suitable, survey another site

RF Survey
The RF survey examines the wireless environment of the
installation site, to determine whether there are available channels
within the radio operating frequency band.
An RF survey is performed using a spectrum analyzer.
It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the spectrum analyzer
before going out on site, specifically the Max Hold and Marker
functions.
You should perform the RF survey at each of the proposed sector
sites.
The survey should be carried out during a busy time of day, to best
judge the worst-case radio interference. Allow 2-4 hours duration
for a good RF survey.

96
RF Survey (continued)
To avoid or minimize interference, follow these recommendations:
For collocated RADWIN units, use an HSS unit to synchronize
between them.
Select a different operating channels for each collocated RADWIN
unit.
If one or more collocated units are not RADWIN units, ensure that
there is a physical separation of at least three meters between a
RADWIN unit and any other collocated radio on the site.
Use the largest possible frequency gap between these units
Choose the best frequency channel (as clear as possible from
interference). You may be able to change the band used for the sector
- depending on HBS model and regulations.
Decreasing the Tx Power of a sector will reduce collocation
interference

Grounding
All RADWIN products should be grounded during operation:
1.The ODU should be earthed by a wire with diameter of at least
12AWG.
2.RADWIN 5000 HPMP ODUs must be properly grounded to protect
against lightning.
3.It is the user's responsibility to install the equipment in
accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical
Code. These codes describe correct installation procedures for
grounding outdoor units, masts, lead-in wiring and discharge units.

Installing the Hub Synchronization Unit

When several HBS sector radios/PtP radios are collocated at a
common hub site, interference may occur from one unit to another.
The RADWIN Hub Site Synchronization (HSS) method uses a cable
connected from the master ODU to all collocated ODUs; this cable
carries pulses sent to each ODU, which synchronize their
transmission with each other.
The pulse synchronization
ensures that transmission occurs
at the same time for all
collocated units.
This also results in all of the hub HSSU
site units receiving data at the
same time, eliminating the
possibility of interference that
could result if some units transmit
while other units at the same
location receive.

Installing the GSU

The GPS-based synchronization unit (GSU) is designed to handle
inter-site interferences under large-scale deployment scenarios.
The GSU is an outdoor unit consisting of a standard Wireless Link
enclosure, a GPS antenna and a PoE device.
The GSU is connected to a HSS Unit using a standard HSS cable.
It synchronizes the transmission timing of multiple Hub-Sites to the
same clock source thus eliminating mutual interference.
The GSU receives a synchronization signal from the GPS once per
second.
It distributes a RADWIN proprietary synchronization signal to all
other ODU units using the RS422 protocol and the standard HSS
mechanism, where the GSU acts as an HSM unit.
If the GSU does not receive a synchronization signal from the GPS
for 30 seconds, it moves automatically to Self-Generation mode and
acts as a regular HSM unit, until GPS signal recovers.

Aligning HSUs to HBS

HSU antenna alignment to an HBS can be performed using HSU
ODUs audible tone.
1. Ensure that the sector antenna of the HBS is aligned precisely to
the sector it is intended to cover. Use a compass and topographical
maps to do this.
2. For both the HBS and HSUs: Using a coax cable with N-Type
connectors, connect the vertical polarization connector of the
antenna to the ANT 1 connector of the ODU.
3. Then, using a second coax cable with N-Type connectors, connect
the horizontal polarization connector of the antenna to the ANT 2
connector of the ODU.
4. Ensure that power is connected to the site PoEs across the sector.

until the HSU is aligned to the HBS, and the alignment is complete.
6. Make a horizontal sweep of 180 degrees with the HSU antenna so
that the strongest signal from the HBS can be detected.
7. Slowly turn the HSU antenna back towards the position of the
HBS, listening to the tone until the best signal is reached. See the
following figure for audible signal variations.

Aligning HSUs to HBS (continued)

Three beeps and a pause is 'best signal so far'
Two beeps and a pause is 'signal quality increased'
One beep and pause is 'no change in signal'
Long beep and short pause is 'signal quality decreased'
One beep and a long pause is 'no air link'

Using the Spectrum Viewer

Two ways to run it:
From the HBS
Users have a choice of analyzing all sites in the sector in one run, or
making a selection.
Users may expect a noise hump around the channels used by the
sector, due to the duty signals from the HBS.
From the HSU

Spectrum View may also be run on a managing computer directly
connected to an HSU.
Remember that in such a case the results will be quite different if
the HSU is part of a sector (registered or not) or if it is completely
stand-alone, for example using a different spectral range and
operating Band from the HBS.
RADWIN Training
Center

Using the Spectrum Viewer

Where is the Spectrum View Data stored
Spectrum View data is always stored in the ODU originating the
analysis.
The HBS maintains the last Spectrum View analysis data for all
members of the sector.
If you run Spectrum View from a directly connected HSU, it stores
its own data, which may be quite different from the analysis
obtained for the same HSU from the HBS.

There is no difference in principle between running a Spectrum View
analysis for an HSU and running it for the HBS.
There is a major difference between running Spectrum View on an
active HSU (registered or not) or in total isolation from the sector.

Bear in mind
When registering a new HSU
in a sector, you will need
to configure first the
antenna type. Should
you fail to remember this
step, the Manager will
display an alert during

An effective managed network

requires SNMP Traps to be sent
from the agents (HSUs) towards the
Manger (SNMP Manager)
To support sending the Traps from

the HSUs towards the SNMP
Manager(s), the user needs to
configure at least one Manager (IP
address and TCP Port)
Failing to configure Trap

Destination(s) will result in failing to
receive the HSU actual alarms.
Next update will take place when
the Manager will poll the HSU
(according to Polling cycle user had
configured).
Configure the IP address of Radwin

Guide lines
Before we start reviewing the configuration steps and
supported modes, we need to be familiar with the following
guide lines:
1.All VLAN actions and manipulations that are related to

DATA, are configured and performed by the HSU(s)
2.The HBS does not audit the ingress VLAN TAG coming from
the HSUs within its sector
3.To control the traffic within the sector we can use the
Connectivity Matrix (HBS Configuration)

HSU Replacement
Getting started
Lets assume we have 2 HSUs in the sector
Both are registered and managed by the HBS as seen in this screen

Important Note
To replace one HSU with
another, you need at least one
HSU available in the sector

populated and all the HSUs are
registered, users will not be
able to initiate the Replace
command
