There are two methods for mounting the ODU and the antenna: direct mounting
and separate mounting.
● Direct mounting is generally adopted when a small- or medium-diameter
single-polarized antenna is used. In this situation, if one ODU is configured for
one antenna, the ODU is directly mounted at the back of the antenna. If two
ODUs are configured for one antenna, an RF signal combiner/splitter (hence
referred to as a hybrid coupler) must be mounted to connect the ODUs to the
antenna. Figure 1-4 shows direct mounting.
Direct mounting can also be adopted when a small- or medium-diameter
dual-polarized antenna is used. Two ODUs are mounted to an antenna using
an orthomode transducer (OMT). The method for installing an OMT is similar
to that for installing a hybrid coupler.

Figure 1-4 Direct mounting
● Separate mounting is generally adopted when a large- or medium-diameter

single-polarized/dual-polarized antenna is used. Figure 1-5 shows separate
mounting. In this situation, a hybrid coupler can be added to enable two
ODUs to share one feed boom.
Figure 1-5 Separate mounting
NOTE
The OptiX RTN 910A provides a full-band antenna solution that offers single-polarized/
dual-polarized antennas with a diameter of 0.3 m to 3.7 m and the corresponding antenna
accessories. In addition, the OptiX RTN 910A provides dual-band antennas with a diameter
of 0.3 m to 0.6 m, which are developed for SDB.
1.3 Highlights
This section describes the highlights of the OptiX RTN 910A.

5G Microwave
The OptiX RTN 910A launched by Huawei is the industry's first 5G microwave
device. The OptiX RTN 910A adopts technologies such as MIMO, CA, 8KQAM
modulation, and super dual band microwave (common-band and E-band
microwave) to provide transmission bandwidths of up to 10 Gbps. Using Huawei's
next-generation chips and optimization algorithms, the OptiX RTN 910A reduces
single-hop latency from hundreds of microseconds to tens of microseconds, which
is far lower than the latency requirement of 5G on bearer networks. The
innovative modular antenna enables smooth evolution to 5G networks without
changing the antenna installation platform or replacing the boards rather than the
10GE IDU subrack, maximizing the return on investment (ROI) in live networks. In
addition, based on Huawei's All-Cloud network architecture, the 5G-oriented
microwave solution can greatly improve network operation efficiency and
implement intelligent network O&M.
Ultra-High Modulation Scheme 8KQAM

The ISM8/CSHRF board supports ultra-high modulation scheme 8192QAM, which
provides 52% more capacity than that of the traditional modulation scheme
256QAM, thus meeting the large bandwidth requirements of the LTE era.
Figure 1-6 8192QAM modulation scheme
High Integration
The CSHR/CSHRF board adopts a high-density design. It integrates not only the
functions of the system control, switching, and timing board, but also the
functions of the service processing unit. Only one CSHR/CSHRF board is required
for an access site. The CSHR/CSHRF board also provides two extended slots, which
can house two IF boards. In this way, a single NE can provide a maximum of six
microwave directions, simplifying the deployment of high-density multi-direction
aggregation sites.

2.1 5G Microwave
The OptiX RTN 910A supports the features of 5G microwave.
2.1.1 CA
This topic describes the carrier aggregation (CA) solution and its core values.
CA aggregates multiple dispersed channels to provide a larger logical bandwidth,

catering for large-capacity microwave transmission on future 5G networks. CA
that aggregates n channels is called nCA configuration. For example, 2CA
configuration means that two channels are aggregated into one channel. 2CA
configuration is equivalent to 2+0 configuration.
Figure 2-1 Application scenario of the CA solution
The CA solution has the following advantages:
● The traditional N+0 configuration requires N ODUs for link transmission. New
hardware, such as IF boards, ODUs, hybrid couplers, and antennas, is always
required for capacity expansion.
● No additional outdoor hardware is required for CA-based capacity expansion
with the XMC-5D ODU.
● CA can work with spectral efficiency technologies such as XPIC to provide
larger-bandwidth solutions, for example, CA+XPIC.

2.1.2 MIMO
This topic describes the MIMO solution and its core values.
MIMO, short for Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output, is a microwave solution

technology in which multiple antennas are used at both the transmit and the
receive ends to transmit and receive signals respectively. NxM MIMO indicates N
output signals and M input signals.
In the MIMO solution, the transmit end maps the data signal to be sent to
multiple antennas through space-time mapping before transmitting it. The receive
end recovers the data signal by performing space-time decoding on the signal that
is received by each antenna.
The MIMO solution supports two antenna installation modes: vertical separation
and horizontal separation. Typically, vertical separation is recommended. Figure
2-2 shows the application scenarios of the MIMO solution. Use horizontal
separation if the vertical installation space is limited or the pole mounting height
is not enough.
Figure 2-2 Application scenario of the MIMO solution
MIMO uses space multiplexing to improve the transmission rate of the system.
Space multiplexing is a method that divides data to be transmitted into multiple
data streams and then transmits them from different antennas.
The application of the MIMO technology makes space a resource for improving
communication performance, and can increase a coverage range of a wireless
system. The MIMO solution has the following advantages:
● Spectrum utilization is improved.

With the same bandwidth, one frequency can provide two or four channels,
which doubles the spectrum utilization.
● Channel reliability is enhanced.
Under the same antenna transmit power, the signals from the different paths
are combined at the receive end to generate gains, eliminate interference, and
improve channel reliability.

2.1.3 SDB (Super Dual Band)

Super Dual Band is a cross-band aggregation technique. It combines common-
band microwaves (6 to 42 GHz) and E-band microwaves (70/80 GHz) to
implement high-bandwidth and long-haul transmission.
System Architecture
Super Dual Band utilizes the physical link aggregation (PLA), adaptive modulation
(AM), and QoS mechanisms to meet the requirements of MBB backhaul networks
on spectrum resources, capacities, transmission distances, and reliability. Super
Dual Band is designed to help MBB backhaul networks deliver the best experience.
Figure 2-3 uses the RTN 380 as an example. For details about system
configuration and specifications, see Super Dual Band Solution User Guide.
Figure 2-3 Super Dual Band networking
Advantage
● E-band microwaves deliver a scalable and large bandwidth. The throughput of
aggregated air-interface links can reach 10 Gbit/s in the future.
● The transmission distance of E-band microwaves is increased to three times
the original distance (increased to 10 km at the maximum), by means of
common-band microwave binding.
● PLA, AM, and HQoS queuing and rate limitation are utilized to ensure
99.999% availability of core services.
2.1.4 SDN (Software Defined Network)

SDN is short for software-defined network. Apps are added to NCE to simplify
microwave NE management and improve microwave network resource
management and O&M efficiency.
As the network bearing capacity increases, service and link information becomes
more complex, some disadvantages of traditional microwave service management
are increasingly emerging. On the traditional NMS, microwave NEs can be viewed
and managed only on a single NE, resulting in low network maintenance

efficiency. SDN provides visualized service views and allows users to process links
in batches. Currently, microwave supports the following SDN functions:
● Resource visualization: The 5G Microwave Automation app of NCE
automatically discovers and displays microwave resources on the network
topology, helping users learn the real-time status of the microwave network.
● Service provisioning: Templates common default configurations of microwave
services to simplify service configuration parameters (users only need to
provide data such as source and sink ports, service types, and bandwidth),
thereby implementing quick service provisioning.
● Network expansion: Users can quickly create an LAG/PLA/EPLA/EPLA+/XPIC
group based on microwave link on the network topology and expand the
bandwidth of the original link.
● NE upgrade: In the NE Wizard-based Upgrade window, you can upgrade the
software versions of selected NEs in one-click or batch mode.
● Network O&M: Network O&M is implemented based on network planning
data check, existing fault data, and alarm data.
2.2 Hybrid/Packet/Routing Integrated IP Microwave

The Hybrid/Packet/Routing Integrated IP microwave (Integrated IP microwave for
short) can transmit one of or a combination of L3VPN IP services, Native TDM
services, Native Ethernet services, and PWE3 packet services according to software
settings. In this way, the Integrated IP microwave can smoothly evolve from Hybrid
microwave to Packet microwave and then to Routing microwave.
IP Microwave Classification
IP microwave can transmit packet services and support the AM function. Packet
services can be Native Ethernet services, PWE3 packet services, or even L3VPN
services.
There are three typical types of IP microwave: Hybrid microwave, Packet
microwave, and Routing microwave.
● Hybrid microwave: Native TDM services and Native Ethernet services can be
transmitted concurrently through the air interface.
● Packet microwave: TDM services, ATM/IMA services, and Ethernet services
after PWE3 encapsulation are transmitted through the air interface.
● Routing microwave: Not only L3VPN services are transmitted, but also Native
TDM, Native Ethernet, and PWE3 services can be transmitted together with
them.
As IP microwave evolves, the OptiX RTN 910A supports Integrated IP microwave. It
supports concurrent Hybrid microwave, Packet microwave, and Routing
microwave, and can concurrently transmit multiple types of services over air
interfaces.
Integrated IP microwave
To achieve flexible grooming of TDM services and packet services on the
Integrated IP microwave, dual service planes are embedded in the OptiX RTN

910A: TDM service processing plane and packet service processing plane. TDM
services and packet services can be flexibly transmitted over the Integrated IP
microwave, as shown in Figure 2-4.
● TDM service processing plane
Performs cross-connections on the incoming TDM services (E1 services or
STM-1 services), and transmits the services to the microwave ports.
● Packet service processing plane
Processes and encapsulates multiple types of services (E1 services, ATM/IMA
services, and Ethernet services) as required and then transmits the services to
the microwave port. Specifically,
– For E1 services and ATM/IMA services, the packet service processing
plane performs PWE3 emulation and then encapsulates them into MPLS
packets for forwarding.
– For Ethernet services, the packet service processing plane performs Layer
2 switching and then forwards them as Native Ethernet services.
Alternatively, the packet service processing plane performs PWE3
emulation and encapsulates them into MPLS packets for forwarding, or
the packet service processing plane extracts IP packets from Ethernet,
routes and forwards the IP packets through the VRFs of the packet plane,
and then forwards the IP packets through the RSVP-TE tunnel or LDP LSP.
L3VPN services, Native TDM services, MPLS (PWE3) packets, or Native Ethernet
services need to be groomed to the microwave port, encapsulated into microwave
frames, and then transmitted on microwave links. Integrated IP microwave serves
as Hybrid microwave when TDM services are scheduled to the microwave port
over the TDM service processing plane and Ethernet services are scheduled as
Native packets to the microwave port over the packet service processing plane.
Integrated IP microwave serves as Packet microwave when TDM services and
Ethernet services are encapsulated into MPLS/PWE3 packets on the packet service
processing plane and then scheduled to the microwave port. Integrated IP
microwave serves as Routing microwave when L3VPN services are forwarded to
the microwave port through VRFs.

Figure 2-4 Hybrid/Packet/Routing Integrated IP microwave
The Hybrid/Packet/Routing Integrated IP microwave has the following features:
● Transmits one of or a combination of the TDM services, MPLS/PWE3 services,

and Native Ethernet services.
● Supports the AM function. Priorities are configurable for E1 services and
packet services. When AM steps down to a lower modulation scheme,
transmission is ensured for services with the highest priority.
● As Routing microwave, prevents Layer 2 broadcast storms, simplifies VLAN
planning for base stations, implements multi-homing of S1 services, and
forwards X2 services along the shortest path.
2.3 Adaptive Modulation

Adaptive modulation (AM) refers to a technology that adjusts the modulation
scheme automatically based on channel quality.
Modulation Scheme and Air-interface Capacity

When AM is adopted, the service capacity varies with the modulation scheme at
the same channel spacing; the higher modulation scheme, the higher service
capacity in transmission.
● When the channel quality is good (such as on sunny days), the equipment
adopts a high modulation scheme to transmit more user services. This
improves transmission efficiency and spectrum utilization of the system.

● When the channel quality deteriorates (such as on thunderstorm days or

foggy days), the equipment adopts a low modulation scheme to transmit only
higher-priority services within the available bandwidth while discarding lower-
priority services. This method improves anti-interference capabilities of the
link, which helps ensure the link availability for higher-priority services.
Modulation Scheme Switching and Service Priorities

The Integrated IP microwave supports the AM technology. Priorities are
configurable for E1 services and packet services, and the transmission of services is
subject to the service bandwidth and QoS policy corresponding to the current
modulation scheme. In this way, transmission is ensured for services with the
highest priority.
NOTE
When Integrated IP microwave transmits STM-1 services and packet services concurrently,
STM-1 services have highest priority and their transmission is ensured.
● Priorities of E1 services
The priorities of E1 services are assigned based on the number of E1 services
that each modulation scheme can transmit. When modulation scheme
switching occurs, only the E1 services whose number is specified in the new
modulation scheme can be transmitted and the excess E1 services are
discarded.
● Priorities of packet services
With the QoS technology, packet services are scheduled to queues with
different priorities. The services in each priority queue are transmitted to the
microwave ports according to the queue scheduling algorithm. When
modulation scheme switching occurs, certain queues may be congested due
to insufficient capacity at the air interface. As a result, certain services or all
services in these queues are discarded.
Adaptive Modulation
Figure 2-5 uses the switching between six modulation schemes as an example to
describe the service change caused by AM. The orange part indicates E1 services.
The blue part indicates Ethernet services. The closer the service is to the surface of
the cylinder, the lower the service priority. Under all channel conditions, the
service capacity varies according to the modulation scheme. When the channel
conditions are unfavorable (during adverse weather conditions), lower-priority
services are discarded.

Figure 2-5 Adaptive modulation
Characteristics
The AM technology used by of the OptiX RTN 910A has the following
characteristics:
● AM can be configured with the lowest modulation scheme (also called

reference scheme or modulation scheme of guaranteed capacity) or the
highest modulation scheme (also called nominal scheme or modulation
scheme of full capacity).
For modulation schemes that Integrated IP microwave IF boards support, see
5.1.1.1 IF Running Modes and Microwave Work Modes.
● In AM, when modulation schemes are switched, the transmit frequency,
receive frequency, and channel spacing remain.
● In AM, modulation schemes are switched step by step.
● In AM, modulation scheme switching is hitless. When the modulation scheme
is switched to a lower one, high-priority services will not be affected as low-
priority services are discarded. The switching is hitless when 100 dB/s channel
fast fading occurs.
2.4 PLA/EPLA/EPLA+
Physical link aggregation (PLA) aggregates microwave links and implements load
sharing based on physical bandwidths of the links.
Physical link aggregation aggregates microwave links and implements load

sharing based on physical bandwidths of the links. Physical link aggregation does
not use the Hash algorithm and is independent of service flow compositions and
therefore makes full use of link bandwidth. Physical link aggregation works in the
following modes:

● PLA mode: IF boards allocate traffic, and 2 physical links are aggregated as a
group.
● EPLA mode: The packet switching unit allocates traffic, and a maximum of 4
(CSHR) or 6 (CSHRF) physical links can be aggregated as a group.
● EPLA+ mode: The packet switching unit allocates traffic, and a maximum of 6
physical links can be aggregated as a group. An EPLA+ group must contain
links provided by an ISM6 board.
Figure 2-6 EPLA example
2.5 Cross-Polarization Interference Cancellation

Cross-polarization interference cancellation (XPIC), together with co-channel dual-
polarization (CCDP), doubles the transmission capacity over a channel given the
same channel condition.
CCDP transmission refers to the transmission where a horizontally polarized wave
and a vertically polarized wave are transmitted on one channel. Ideally, no
interference exists between two orthogonal signals in CCDP transmissions
although they are on the same frequency, and they are easily recovered at the
receiver. In actual practice, despite the orthogonality of the two signals,
interference between the signals inevitably occurs due to cross-polarization
discrimination (XPD) of the antenna and channel degradation. To cancel the
interference, XPIC is used. With XPIC, signals are received horizontally and
vertically and processed. The original signals are recovered from interfered signals.
Figure 2-7 CCDP channel arrangement and XPIC

2.6 Automatic Transmit Power Control

Automatic transmit power control (ATPC) enables the output power of the
transmitter to automatically trace the level fluctuation at the receive end within
the ATPC control range. This feature reduces the interference with neighboring
systems and residual BER.
Figure 2-8 Relationship between the RSL and TSL
2.7 Capacity
The OptiX RTN 910A features high capacity.
2.7.1 Air Interface Capacity

Air interface capacity refers to the service capacity of a microwave link.
The air interface capacity depends on the IF board, ODU type, and microwave
work mode. Air interface capacities described in this section are the maximum
capacities of a single microwave link. With N+1, LAG, and PLA, higher air-interface
transmission capacities are available between microwave sites.
NOTE
XPIC doubles the service capacity on a microwave channel at the same spectrum
bandwidth.

the licenses of NEs as required.
Figure 2-11 shows the end-to-end license management process of the CLM
solution. Licenses are managed primarily through the Electronic Software Delivery
Platform (ESDP) and NMS in a centralized way. The system generates a license
authorization file on the ESDP platform based on the Bill of Quotation (BOQ).
After loading the license authorization file to the NMS, users can allocate licenses
to the corresponding NEs on demand.

2.19 Security Management

The OptiX RTN 910A prevents unauthorized logins and operations by means of
various security techniques, ensuring equipment management security.
Hardware Security
The OptiX RTN 910A adopts high-reliability hardware design to ensure that the
system runs properly even if system security is threatened.
The following hardware preventive measures are provided:
● Microwave interfaces: The FEC encoding mode is adopted and the adaptive
time-domain equalizer for baseband signals is used. This enables the
microwave interfaces to tolerate strong interference. Therefore, an interceptor

cannot restore the contents in a data frame if coding details and service
configurations are not obtained at the same time.
● Modular design: Control units are separated from service units and service
units are separated from each other. In this manner, a fault on any unit can be
properly isolated, minimizing the impact of the fault on other units in the
system.
● CPU flow control: Data flows sent to the CPU for processing are classified and
controlled to prevent the CPU from being attacked by a large number of
packets. This ensures that the CPU operates properly under attacks.
Software Security
The OptiX RTN 910A processes three categories of data: O&M data, control plane
data, and service data. The preceding data is transmitted over independent
physical paths or logical paths and does not affect each other. Therefore, services
on the OptiX RTN 910A are processed on three planes:
● Management plane
The management plane provides equipment access and management
functions, such as account and password management for access control,
network communication protocols, and alarm reporting. The security feature
provided by the management plane enables secure equipment access,
concentrated management, and comprehensive security audit.
● Control plane
The control plane provides automatic calculation of trails to build and
manage services. Authentication is adopted to provide security for protocols
used at the control plane.
● Data plane
The data plane processes service data that enters the equipment and
forwards service data packets according to the hardware forwarding entries.
On one hand, the data plane prevents user service packets from being
intercepted, modified or deleted, which ensures the confidentiality and
integrity of user data. On the other hand, the data plane ensures controllable
hardware forwarding actions, preventing the forwarding entries from being
attacked or tampered with. In this manner, the forwarding plane of the
equipment can function stably and reliably.
Table 2-17 lists the security functions supported by each software plane.

Layer 2 service Provides the access control capabilities: filtering

access control of static MAC addresses, blacklist, learning and
forbidding of MAC addresses, and filtering
based on complex traffic classification.
Service isolation Provides three isolation methods: Layer 2 logical

isolation, horizontal isolation, and physical
isolation.

3.2.2 ODU
The ODU is an integrated device that is available in several models. Different
models of ODUs have basically the same structure and working principle.
Block Diagram
Figure 3-3 Block diagram of the ODU
Signal Processing in the Transmit Direction

The multiplexer splits the signal coming from the IF cable into a 350 MHz IF
signal, a 5.5 MHz O&M uplink signal, and a –48 V DC power signal.
In the transmit direction, the IF signal is processed as follows:
1. The IF signal is converted into an RF signal by means of frequency up-
conversion, filtering and amplification, and then is sent to the amplifier unit
(AMP).
2. The AMP amplifies the RF signal (the output power of the signal can be
regulated by IDU software).

3. The amplified RF signal is sent to the antenna through the duplexer.

The O&M uplink signal is a 5.5 MHz ASK-modulated signal and is demodulated in
the control unit (CTRL).
The –48 V DC power signal is sent to the power unit (PWR) where the secondary
power supplies are generated and provided to the modules of the ODU.
Signal Processing in the Receive Direction

The duplexer separates the RF signal from the antenna signal. The low noise
amplifier (LNA) amplifies the RF signal. The amplified RF signal is converted into a
140 MHz IF signal by means of frequency down-conversion, filtering and
amplification, and then is sent to the multiplexer.
The CTRL unit performs ASK modulation on the O&M downlink signal, and sends
the generated 10 MHz modulation signal to the multiplexer. The CTRL unit also
detects the receive signal power through the RSSI detection circuit and provides
the RSSI interface.
The multiplexer combines the received IF signal and O&M downlink signal, and
sends the combined signal to the IDU through the IF cable.
3.3 Software Structure

The OptiX RTN 910A software consists of NMS software, IDU software, and ODU
software.
Functional Block Diagram

The OptiX RTN 910A software consists of IDU software and ODU software, as
shown in Figure 3-4.
● The OptiX RTN 910A uses Qx interfaces to communicate with the NCE or Web
LCT. The Qx interfaces are management protocol interfaces designed for
Huawei's OptiX equipment. The protocol stack for the Qx interfaces and
messages transmitted over the Qx interfaces are developed based on ITU-T G.
773, ITU-T Q.811, and ITU-T Q.812.
● The OptiX RTN 910A provides a Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) agent, so a third-party centralized NMS can query alarms,
performance events, and a range of configuration data through SNMP
interfaces.
● OptiX NEs send network management messages to each other using the
HWECC protocol or IP protocol.

Figure 3-4 Software architecture
IDU Software
The IDU software consists of NE software and board software.
● The NE software manages, monitors, and controls the IDU running status.
Through the NE software, the NMS communicates with the boards of the NE,
thereby implementing NE management. In addition, the NE software
communicates with the ODU software to manage and control the operation
of the ODU.
● The board software manages and controls the running status of other boards
of the IDU except the system control, switching, and timing board. The board
software of the Ethernet interface board or Ethernet processing board is
running stand alone in the board CPU. Software of other boards is integrated
as software modules with the NE software and runs in the CPU of the system
control, switching, and timing board.
ODU Software
The ODU software running in the ODU CPU manages and controls the running
status of the ODU. The ODU software controls the running of the ODU based on
the parameters delivered by the IDU software. The ODU running status is also
reported to the IDU software.

Product Description 5 Technical Specifications
5 Technical Specifications
This chapter describes the technical specifications of the OptiX RTN 910A.
5.1 RF Performance
This chapter describes the radio frequency (RF) performance and various technical
specifications related to microwaves.
5.2 Number of Microwave Directions
When the RTN 910A uses different control boards and IF boards to work with
different ODUs, the maximum number of radio directions supported by the RTN
910A is different.
5.3 Predicted Equipment Reliability
Equipment reliability consists of component reliability and link reliability.
5.4 Interface Performance
This section describes the technical specifications of services and auxiliary
interfaces.
5.5 Integrated System Performance
Integrated system performance includes the dimensions, weight, power
consumption, power supply, EMC, surge protection, safety, and environment.
5.1 RF Performance
This chapter describes the radio frequency (RF) performance and various technical
specifications related to microwaves.
NOTE
Compared with QPSK/16QAM, QPSK Strong/16QAM Strong has stronger FEC capability, and
therefore has better receiver sensitivity. It has, however, less air interface bandwidth.
Compared with 512QAM/1024QAM, 512QAM Light/1024QAM Light has weaker FEC
capability, and therefore has worse receiver sensitivity. It has, however, higher air interface
bandwidth.
5.1.1 Microwave Work Modes and Air Interface Capacity (IS

Series Board)
The microwave working mode and air interface capacity of IS series boards are
closely related to the IF running mode configured for the boards. This section lists

the microwave working modes and air interface capacities supported by the OptiX
RTN 910A based on IS series boards.
5.1.1.1 IF Running Modes and Microwave Work Modes

The OptiX RTN 910A supports the following IF running modes: IS8 mode (IS8
running mode), IS6 mode (IS6 running mode), IS6-PLUS mode (IS6-PLUS running
mode), IS3 mode (IS3 running mode), and IS2 mode (IS2 running mode).
Table 5-1 describes the IF running modes and microwave working modes.
NOTE
The highest-order modulation scheme that an IF port supports depends on factors such as
the ODU frequency band, XPIC status, and channel spacing.
When the XMC-5D ODU works in the 13/15/18 GHz frequency band and the channel
spacing is 7 MHz, the highest-order modulation scheme supported by the OptiX RTN 910A
is 256QAM. In the 18 GHz frequency band (except for when the channel spacing is 7 MHz),
the highest-order modulation scheme supported by the OptiX RTN 910A is 2048QAM.
NOTE
The ISM8 board can't work with the XMC-5D ODU, when using CSHR system control
boards.

NOTE
In IS6 running mode and SDH service mode, the microwave work modes are the same regardless of whether the
XPIC function is enabled or disabled.
Integrated IP microwave work mode (IS6 mode, E1+Ethernet)

NOTE
● Without compression: untagged Ethernet frames with a length ranging from 64
bytes to 1518 bytes
● With L2 frame header compression: untagged Ethernet frames with a length
ranging from 64 bytes to 1518 bytes
● With L2+L3 frame header compression (IPv6): UDP messages, S-tagged Ethernet
● E1/STM-1 services need to occupy the corresponding bandwidth of the air interface
capacity. The bandwidth remaining after the E1/STM-1 service capacity is subtracted
from the air interface capacity can be provided for Ethernet services.

IS3 running mode.
NOTE
The channel spacings supported by the OptiX RTN 910A comply with ETSI standards.
Channel spacings 14/28/56 MHz apply to most frequency bands; but channel spacings
13.75/27.5/55 MHz apply to the 18 GHz frequency band.
When being used in North America, ISV3 boards support the FCC 10/20/30/40/50 MHz
channel spacing. For details, see the User Guide for North America.
In IS3 mode, 2048QAM is used only when AM is enabled.

SDH Microwave Work Mode
Table 5-28 SDH microwave work modes (IS3 mode)
STM-1 128QAM 28 (27.5)
2xSTM-1 128QAM 56 (55)

NOTE
In IS3 running mode and SDH service mode, the microwave work modes are the same
regardless of whether the XPIC function is enabled or disabled.
Integrated IP Microwave Work Mode (IS3 mode, E1+Ethernet)

NOTE
After AES-based encryption at air interfaces is enabled, overheads occupy additional air-
interface bandwidth (< 300 kbit/s). As a result, the maximum number of E1 services
decreases by one in the following modulation schemes:
● XPIC disabled: 7 MHz/QPSK Strong, 7 MHz/16QAM, 14 MHz/QPSK, and 14 MHz/
16QAM
● XPIC enabled: 14 MHz/QPSK Strong

5.1.1.7 Throughput of an EPLA Group

This section describes air-interface throughput of an enhanced physical link
aggregation (EPLA) group between two sites.
Throughput data in tables listing microwave work modes is measured based on
1+0 microwave links, throughput of an EPLA group is not equal to the total
throughput of its member 1+0 microwave links.
Figure 5-1 shows networking for the EPLA configuration, in which ISM6 is used as
an example. ISM6 boards work in IS6-PLUS/IS6/IS3 mode and the four microwave
links are configured consistently. Table 5-39 lists the throughput of the EPLA
group. When more than 1 Gbit/s services are received from the client side, load-
sharing LAG must be configured. If the ISV3 board is used, it must work in IS3
mode. Table 5-40 lists the throughput of the EPLA group. If the ISM8 board is
used, it must work in IS8/IS6/IS3 mode. Table 5-38 lists the throughput of the
EPLA group.

● The throughput specifications listed in the tables are based on the following
conditions:
– Without frame header compression: untagged Ethernet frames with a
length ranging from 64 bytes to 1518 bytes
– With L2 frame header compression: untagged Ethernet frames with a
length ranging from 64 bytes to 1518 bytes
– With L2+L3 frame header compression (IPv4): UDP packets, C-tagged
Ethernet frames with a length ranging from 70 bytes to 1518 bytes
– With L2+L3 frame header compression (IPv6): UDP packets, S-tagged
Ethernet frames with a length ranging from 94 bytes to 1518 bytes
● E1/STM-1 services occupy the bandwidth over the air interface prior to
Ethernet services, and only the remaining bandwidth can be provided for
Ethernet services.
● The throughput specifications indicate the single-link performance in 1+0
networking.
5.1.1.10 Throughput of an CA group (IS8 Running Mode)

This section lists the microwave work modes that the OptiX RTN 910A supports CA
feature on IS8 running mode.

NOTE
● Without compression: untagged Ethernet frames with a length ranging from 64
bytes to 1518 bytes
● With L2 frame header compression: untagged Ethernet frames with a length
ranging from 64 bytes to 1518 bytes
● With L2+L3 frame header compression (IPv6): UDP messages, S-tagged Ethernet
● E1/STM-1 services need to occupy the corresponding bandwidth of the air interface
capacity. The bandwidth remaining after the E1/STM-1 service capacity is subtracted
from the air interface capacity can be provided for Ethernet services.

5.1.3 Receiver Sensitivity

The receiver sensitivity reflects the anti-fading capability of the microwave
equipment.
NOTE
For a guaranteed value, remove 3 dB from the typical value.
5.1.3.1 Receiver Sensitivity (IS8 Running Mode)

The OptiX RTN 910A running in IS8 mode supports SDH microwave work modes
and Integrated IP microwave work modes.

NOTE
● Unless otherwise specified (for example, XMC-3W ODU), the receiver sensitivity values
in the following tables do not vary with the ODU type, although different types of ODUs
may use different frequency bands and modulation schemes.
● N/A means that microwave working mode is not supported.
● Only the XMC-3 (112 MHz) ODU supports a channel spacing of 112 MHz at the 18/23
GHz frequency band. The XMC-3 ODU supports a channel spacing of up to 56 MHz at
the 18/23 GHz frequency band.

5.1.4 Transceiver Performance

The performance of the transceiver includes the nominal maximum/minimum
transmit power, nominal maximum receive power, and frequency stability.
NOTICE
This chapter describes performance for all the frequencies that the ODU supports.
For details about the frequencies that the ODU supports on this version, see 5.1.2
Frequency Band.
NOTE
For details about the modulation schemes supported by the ODU when working with an IF
board, see Table 5-1.
For ODUs operating at a T/R spacing that is not an integer, for example, 311.32 MHz,
151.614 MHz, or 252.04 MHz, the frequency stability is not ±5 ppm but still meets
requirements specified by the ETSI.
The maximum error between the actual transmit power of the ODU and the preset
transmit power on the NMS is ±2 dB; The maximum error between the actual transmit
power of the 38GHz 0 dB to -10dB and the preset transmit power on the NMS is ±3 dB.
When the receive power of the ODU is between -70 dBm and -30 dBm, the maximum error
between the actual receive power of the ODU and the receive power displayed on the NMS
is ±2 dB.

5.2 Number of Microwave Directions

When the RTN 910A uses different control boards and IF boards to work with
different ODUs, the maximum number of radio directions supported by the RTN
910A is different.
NOTE
When the RTN 910A works with the XMC-5D ODU, the number of microwave directions is
equal to the number of XMC-5D ODUs supported by the RTN 910A. One XMC-5D ODU can
correspond only to one direction.

5.3 Predicted Equipment Reliability

Equipment reliability consists of component reliability and link reliability.
Equipment reliability is measured by mean time between failures (MTBF), and
predicated equipment reliability complies with the Telcordia SR-332 standard.
NOTE
Failures in time (FITs) are an indicator of equipment reliability in the Telcordia SR-332 standard.
Both FITs and MTBF are affected by the quality level factor, electrical stress factor, and
temperature stress factor of the component.
The calculation formula between FITs and MTBF is as follows:
● FITs = 109/MTBF (hour)
● Annual failure rate (%) = [1/MTBF (year)] x 100%
5.3.1 Predicted Component Reliability

The component reliability reflects the reliability of a single component.

Term Description
3G Third Generation
The third generation of digital wireless technology, as
defined by the International Telecommunications Union
(ITU). Third generation technology is expected to deliver
data transmission speeds between 144 kbit/s and 2 Mbit/s,
compared to the 9.6 kbit/s to 19.2 kbit/s offered by second
generation technology.
3GPP 3rd Generation Partnership Project
802.1Q in A VLAN feature that allows the equipment to add a VLAN

802.1Q (QinQ) tag to a tagged frame. The implementation of QinQ is to
add a public VLAN tag to a frame with a private VLAN tag to
allow the frame with double VLAN tags to be transmitted
over the service provider's backbone network based on the
public VLAN tag. This provides a layer 2 VPN tunnel for
customers and enables transparent transmission of packets
over private VLANs.
A/D analog/digit
ABR available bit rate

A kind of service categories defined by the ATM forum. ABR
only provides possible forwarding service and applies to the
connections that does not require the real-time quality. It
does not provide any guarantee in terms of cell loss or delay.
ACAP adjacent channel alternate polarization

A channel configuration method, which uses two adjacent
channels (a horizontal polarization wave and a vertical
polarization wave) to transmit two signals.
ACL Access Control List

A list of entities, together with their access rights, which are
authorized to access a resource.

Term Description
ADC Analogue-to-Digital Converter
ADM add/drop multiplexer
AF assured forwarding
One of the four per-hop behaviors (PHB) defined by the Diff-
Serv workgroup of IETF. It is suitable for certain key data
services that require assured bandwidth and short delay. For
traffic within the bandwidth limit, AF assures quality in
forwarding. For traffic that exceeds the bandwidth limit, AF
degrades the service class and continues to forward the
traffic instead of discarding the packets.
AIS alarm indication signal
alarm A method to suppress alarms for the alarm management

suppression purpose. Alarms that are suppressed are no longer reported
from NEs.
ALS automatic laser shutdown

A technique (procedure) to automatically shutdown the
output power of laser transmitters and optical amplifiers to
avoid exposure to hazardous levels.
AM adaptive modulation
A technology that is used to automatically adjust the
modulation mode according to the channel quality. When
the channel quality is favorable, the equipment uses a high-
efficiency modulation mode to improve the transmission
efficiency and the spectrum utilization of the system. When
the channel quality is degraded, the equipment uses the low-
efficiency modulation mode to improve the anti-interference
capability of the link that carries high-priority services.
analog signal A signal in which information is represented with a

continuously variable physical quantity, such as voltage.
Because of this constant changing of the wave shape with
regard to its passing a given point in time or space, an
analog signal might have a virtually indefinite number of
states or values. This contrasts with a digital signal that is
expressed as a square wave and therefore has a very limited
number of discrete states. Analog signals, with complicated
structures and narrow bandwidth, are vulnerable to external
interference.
APS automatic protection switching

Term Description
ARP Address Resolution Protocol

An Internet Protocol used to map IP addresses to MAC
addresses. The ARP protocol enables hosts and routers to
determine link layer addresses through ARP requests and
responses. The address resolution is a process by which the
host converts the target IP address into a target MAC address
before transmitting a frame. The basic function of ARP is to
use the target equipment's IP address to query its MAC
address.
ASBR autonomous system boundary router

A router that exchanges routing information with other
autonomous system boundary routers.
ASIC application-specific integrated circuit

A special type of chip that starts out as a nonspecific
collection of logic gates. Late in the manufacturing process, a
layer is added to connect the gates for a specific function. By
changing the pattern of connections, the manufacturer can
make the chip suitable for many needs.
ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode
ATPC automatic transmit power control

A method of adjusting the transmit power based on fading
of the transmit signal detected at the receiver.
attenuator A device used to increase the attenuation of an Optical Fiber

Link. Generally used to ensure that the signal at the receive
end is not too strong.
backbone A network that forms the central interconnection for a

network connected network. The communication backbone for a
country is WAN. The backbone network is an important
architectural element for building enterprise networks. It
provides a path for the exchange of information between
different LANs or subnetworks. A backbone can tie together
diverse networks in the same building, in different buildings
in a campus environment, or over wide areas. Generally, the
backbone network's capacity is greater than the networks
connected to it.
baud rate The maximum rate of signal state changes per second on a
communications circuit. If each signal state change
corresponds to a code bit, then the baud rate and the bit rate
are the same. It is also possible for signal state changes to
correspond to more than one code bit, so the baud rate may
be lower than the code bit rate.

Term Description
BDI backward defect indication

A function that the sink node of a LSP, when detecting a
defect, uses to inform the upstream end of the LSP of a
downstream defect along the return path.
BE best effort
A traditional IP packet transport service. In this service, the
diagrams are forwarded following the sequence of the time
they reach. All diagrams share the bandwidth of the network
and routers. The amount of resource that a diagram can use
depends of the time it reaches. BE service does not ensure
any improvement in delay time, jitter, packet loss ratio, and
high reliability.
BER bit error rate
BFD Bidirectional Forwarding Detection

A fast and independent hello protocol that delivers
millisecond-level link failure detection and provides carrier-
class availability. After sessions are established between
neighboring systems, the systems can periodically send BFD
packets to each other. If one system fails to receive a BFD
packet within the negotiated period, the system regards that
the bidirectional link fails and instructs the upper layer
protocol to take actions to recover the faulty link.
BGP Border Gateway Protocol
BIOS basic input/output system

Firmware stored on the computer motherboard that contains
basic input/output control programs, power-on self test
(POST) programs, bootstraps, and system setting
information. The BIOS provides hardware setting and control
functions for the computer.
BIP bit interleaved parity

A method of error monitoring. With even parity, the
transmitting equipment generates an X-bit code over a
specified portion of the signal in such a manner that the first
bit of the code provides even parity over the first bit of all X-
bit sequences in the covered portion of the signal, the second
bit provides even parity over the second bit of all X-bit
sequences within the specified portion, and so forth. Even
parity is generated by setting the BIP-X bits so that an even
number of 1s exist in each monitored partition of the signal.
A monitored partition comprises all bits in the same bit
position within the X-bit sequences in the covered portion of
the signal. The covered portion includes the BIP-X.

Term Description
B-ISDN broadband integrated services digital network

BPDU bridge protocol data unit

Data messages exchanged across switches within an
extended LAN that uses a spanning tree protocol (STP)
topology. BPDU packets contain information on ports,
addresses, priorities, and costs, and they ensure that the data
reaches its intended destination. BPDU messages are
exchanged across bridges to detect loops in a network
topology. These loops are then removed by shutting down
selected bridge interfaces and placing redundant switch ports
in a backup, or blocked, state.
bridge A device that connects two or more networks and forwards

packets among them. Bridges operate at the physical
network level. Bridges differ from repeaters because bridges
store and forward complete packets, while repeaters forward
all electrical signals. Bridges differ from routers because
bridges use physical addresses, while routers use IP
addresses.
broadcast A means of delivering information to all members in a

network. The broadcast range is determined by the broadcast
address.
broadcast A group of network stations that receives broadcast packets

domain originating from any device within the group. The broadcast
domain also refers to the set of ports between which a
device forwards a multicast, broadcast, or unknown
destination frame.
BSC base station controller

A logical entity that connects the BTS with the MSC in a
GSM/CDMA network. It interworks with the BTS through the
Abis interface, the MSC through the A interface. It provides
the following functions: radio resource management, base
station management, power control, handover control, and
traffic measurement. One BSC controls and manages one or
more BTSs in an actual network.
BTS base transceiver station
cable tie A cable tie (also known as a wire tie, hose tie, steggel tie, or
zip tie, and by the brand names Ty-Rap) is a type of fastener,
for holding items together, primarily electrical cables or
wires.

Term Description
CAD router
A device on the network layer that selects routes in the
network. The router selects the optimal route according to
the destination address of the received packet through a
network and forwards the packet to the next router. The last
router is responsible for sending the packet to the
destination host. Can be used to connect a LAN to a LAN, a
WAN to a WAN, or a LAN to the Internet.
CAR committed access rate
CBS committed burst size

A parameter used to define the capacity of token bucket C,
that is, the maximum burst IP packet size when information
is transferred at the committed information rate. This
parameter must be greater than 0 but should be not less
than the maximum length of an IP packet to be forwarded.
CC continuity check
An Ethernet connectivity fault management (CFM) method
used to detect the connectivity between MEPs by having
each MEP periodically transmit a Continuity Check Message
(CCM).

A channel configuration method, which uses a horizontal
polarization wave and a vertical polarization wave to
transmit two signals. The Co-Channel Dual Polarization has
twice the transmission capacity of the single polarization.
CDMA code division multiple access

A communication scheme that uses frequency expansion
technology to form different code sequences. When the
CDMA scheme is used, subscribers with different addresses
can use different code sequences for multi-address
connection.
CE customer edge
A part of the BGP/MPLS IP VPN model that provides
interfaces for directly connecting to the Service Provider (SP)
network. A CE can be a router, switch, or host.

Term Description
CES circuit emulation service

A function with which the E1/T1 data can be transmitted
through ATM networks. At the transmission end, the
interface module packs timeslot data into ATM cells. These
ATM cells are sent to the reception end through the ATM
network. At the reception end, the interface module re-
assigns the data in these ATM cells to E1/T1 timeslots. The
CES technology guarantees that the data in E1/T1 timeslots
can be recovered to the original sequence at the reception
end.
CGMP Cisco Group Management Protocol
channel A telecommunication path of a specific capacity and/or

speed between two or more locations in a network. The
channel can be established through wire, radio (microwave),
fiber, or any combination of the three. The amount of
information transmitted per second in a channel is the
information transmission speed, expressed in bits per second.
For example, b/s (100 bit/s), kb/s (103 bit/s), Mb/s (106
bit/s), Gb/s (109 bit/s), and Tb/s (1012 bit/s).

CORBA Common Object Request Broker Architecture

A specification developed by the Object Management Group
in 1992 in which pieces of programs (objects) communicate
with other objects in other programs, even if the two
programs are written in different programming languages
and are running on different platforms. A program makes its
request for objects through an object request broker, or ORB,
and therefore does not need to know the structure of the
program from which the object comes. CORBA is designed to
work in object-oriented environments.
CPU Central Processing Unit

The computational and control unit of a computer. The CPU
is the device that interprets and executes instructions. The
CPU has the ability to fetch, decode, and execute instructions
and to transfer information to and from other resources over
the computer's main data-transfer path, the bus.

unicast The process of sending data from a source to a single

recipient.
UPC usage parameter control

During communications, UPC is implemented to monitor the
actual traffic on each virtual circuit that is input to the
network. Once the specified parameter is exceeded,
measures will be taken to control. NPC is similar to UPC in
function. The difference is that the incoming traffic
monitoring function is divided into UPC and NPC according
to their positions. UPC locates at the user/network interface,
while NPC at the network interface.
VB virtual bridge
VC virtual container
An information structure used to support path layer
connections in the SDH. A VC consists of a payload and path
overhead (POH), which are organized in a block frame
structure that repeats every 125 μs or 500 μs.
VCC virtual channel connection

A VC logical trail that carries data between two end points in
an ATM network. A point-to-multipoint VCC is a set of ATM
virtual connections between two or multiple end points.
VCCV virtual circuit connectivity verification
VCG virtual concatenation group

A group of co-located member trail termination functions
that are connected to the same virtual concatenation link.
VCI virtual channel identifier
VCTRUNK A virtual concatenation group applied in data service

mapping, also called the internal port of a data service
processing board.
virtual circuit A channel or circuit established between two points on a

data communications network with packet switching. Virtual
circuits can be permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) or switched
virtual circuits (SVCs) .
VLAN virtual local area network
V-NNI virtual network-network interface

Term Description

which is located at the NE management layer of the
transport network.
WEEE waste electrical and electronic equipment
WFQ weighted fair queuing

A fair queue scheduling algorithm based on bandwidth
allocation weights. This scheduling algorithm allocates the
total bandwidth of an interface to queues, according to their
weights and schedules the queues cyclically. In this manner,
packets of all priority queues can be scheduled.
winding pipe A tool for fiber routing, which acts as the corrugated pipe.
WRR weighted round robin
WTR wait to restore

The number of minutes to wait before services are switched
back to the working line.
XPIC cross-polarization interference cancellation

A technology used in the case of the Co-Channel Dual
Polarization (CCDP) to eliminate the cross-connect
interference between two polarization waves in the CCDP.
