DWDM Background
 The capacity expansion over TDM is more and more close
to the limitation the technology can afford;
 The high chromatic dispersion of laid G.652 optical fiber
restricts the transmission of systems over 10Gbit/s;
 The fast development of optical devices, esp. the large
scale commercialization of EDFA, brought quick use of
DWDM;
 From both technical and economic aspects, DWDM is the
most cost-effective capacity expansion technology at
present.

waves;
 ODU: decompounding optical waves from the fiber into optical path
signals with the former rated wavelength and inputting them into
different optical path receivers, thus carrying out demultiplexing of

Laser
Pumping Erbium ions energy level. The energy can be
from E1 energy level to E3 transferred to signal light via
energy level to form the stimulated emission between
distribution of population levels. The signal light is
inversion for stimulated amplified constantly along the
radiation fiber and the pump signal is
attenuated constantly along the
fiber.
62
EDFA – Technical Parameters
 Gain G: ratio between output optical power and input optical
power
 Bandwidth: also known as Operating Wavelength Coverage,
is the optical wavelength range can be flatly amplified by
EDFA.
 Gain Flatness: denoted by the maximum gain difference in the
amplified bandwidth; wavelengths entered into OA are
required to be with the same optical power.
 Input/Output Power: Output power of the single multiplexing
channel shall be controlled.
 Noise Coefficient: ratio between signal noise ratios of input
terminal and output terminal.
63
EDFA - Limitation
 Nonlinear problem: Nonlinear effect occurred when the optical
power is up to a certain degree will limit amplification performance
and transmission distance.
 Optical surge problem: peak appeared at output optical power when
saltus takes place at input signal energy
 Chromatic dispersion problem: The amplifier can only compensate
power problem caused by attenuation. The total dispersion
increased along with the increased transmission distance becomes
the main limitation factor of the system.
 Bandwidth problem: optical wavelength coverage that can be flatly
amplified by EDFA. EDFA is required to be with the same gain for
each multiplexing channel in a WDM system.
64
Optical Surge
 When the transmission link of a WDM system is cut off suddenly,
and if the pump source of optical amplifier is not closed and keeps
pumping to Erbium-doped fiber, the Erbium ions in stable state will
gather more and more; if a high power optical signal is input then,
stimulated radiation will take place on all ions in stable state, which
will result in “peak” output optical power on the amplifier and
“burnout” of optical connector and receiver. It brings nonrecoverable
damage to the system.

 SDH Transmission System
SDH Concept
 The full name of SDH is Synchronous Digital Hierarchy, which

is the new generation of wide band transmission hierarchy
accepted world wide. SDH defines the transmission rate, frame
structure, multiplexing mode, and optical interface
specifications of digital signal transmission.
 The multiplexing method of transmission network based on
PDH cannot satisfy the transmission requirements of great
capacity. The regional specifications of PDH make network
interconnections difficult, and restrict the transmission network
development to higher rates
 SDH transmission hierarchy has advantages that PDH
cannot compete with. It is a brand new generation of
transmission hierarchy different from PDH, with
essential revolution and innovation.
 The core concept of SDH is to construct digital
communication network from the aspect of uniform
national telecommunications network and international
interconnection
We will describe the advantages of SDH from the following
aspects
 Interfaces
 Multiplexing method
 Operation and Maintenance
 Compatibility
Limitations of PDH
1. Interface
 Electrical interfaces
 There are only regional standards, instead of
universal standards
 Optical interfaces
 No unified standards for optical line
equipments, manufacturers develop
equipment according to their own standards.

3.Operation and Maintenance

 PDH signal frame structure has very few overhead
bytes for Operation, Administration, and Maintenance
(OAM).
4.Network Management Interface

Ü No universal network management interface for PDH
network.
Advantages of SDH over PDH
Definition of SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy):
 SDH defines the frame structure,

multiplexing method, transmission rate,
and interface code pattern
1. Interface
 Electrical interfaces
 SDH provides a set of standard rate levels----STM-N.
(N= 4n =1, 4, 16, 64……).
 The basic signal transmission structure level is STM-1,
at a rate of 155Mb/s.
 Optical interfaces
 Optical interfaces adopt universal standards. Line
coding of SDH signals involves scrambling, instead of
inserting redundancy codes.
2. Multiplexing Method
 low-rate SDH signals → high-rate SDH

 Signals via byte interleaved multiplexing
method
 PDH signals → SDH

 Synchronous multiplexing method and
flexible mapping structure
3.Operation and Maintenance
 Abundant overhead bits are used for

OAM.
 Unnecessary to add redundancy bits to
monitor line performance during line
coding.
4.Compatibility
Ü SDH network and the existing PDH network can work
together.
Ü SDH network can accommodate the signals of other
hierarchies such as ATM, FDDI, and Ethernet.

SDH Frame Structure
 Payload – area for services transmission in STM-N
2M, 34M, and 140M signals are packed and carried in the
payload of STM-N frame over SDH network. If STM-N
frame is a truck, the payload area is the carriage of the
truck.
 Path Overhead (POH) – after packing low rate signals,

POH is added to monitor the transmission of every packet.
This process is like attaching a label on the packet.
SDH Frame Structure
 Section Overhead (SOH) – monitors the whole

STM-N frame, i.e. monitor performance of all packages in the carriage of the
truck.
 Regenerator Section Overhead (RSOH) – monitors the whole STM-
N frame.
 Multiplex Section Overhead (MSOH) – monitors each STM-1 of the
STM-N frame.
 RSOH, MSOH, and POH compose the integrated monitoring system of
SDH.
SDH Frame Structure
 AU Pointer (AU-PTR) – used for alignment of lower rate signals in the payload of
STM-N frame to accurately locate the payload.
 AU-PTR is added in transmitting end, when the signal is packed
into the payload of STM-N frame. The process could be to setting
a coordinate value to identify where the package is in the
carriage.
 At receiving end, the low rate signal is dropped from STM-N
frame according to the AU-PTR value. The process could
compare to getting the package from the carriage according to
above coordinate value.
 Since packages are byte interleaved, the entire payload could be
dropped once the first package is identified through alignment.
SDH Frame Structure
 When the rate of the signal to multiplex is
lower, for low-speed signals like 2M & 34M, 2-
level pointer alignment is necessary.
 First of all, packing the low rate signals, like 2M or
34M into a packet;
 Secondly, aligning the signal in the packet by TU
Pointer (TU-PTR);
 Thirdly, multiplexing the above lower rate packet
into another higher rate packet by AU-PTR.

 2M → STM-N
 ITU-T G.709 defines a complete set of multiplexing
structures, in which multiplexing of PDH signal into
STM-N frame is not unique and every country or area
adopts one particular structure.

frame.
 If the value of Exclusive OR operation is zero, there is
no bit block error. But if the result is not zero then there
may be errors in transmission.

Self-Healing Network Overview
 Protection
Definition
When the fault occurs, the network can automatically resume its carried
services from a failure without manual intervention within a very short period of
time, so that the terminal user cannot notice the network fault.
 Important Remark
Self-healing can only recover the failed services through the standby
channel, but it cannot correct or replace the components and the lines
with fault.
Basic Principle
 To enable the network to detect failure and re-establish connection within a
very short period of time (50ms).
 Precondition for Self-healing Network: Redundant routes, powerful cross-

connection capability of the NE and certain intelligence of the NE

transmitted through the working path while the protection path
can be used to carry extra payload which is of inferior class .
 When the working path fails, the extra payload on the
protection path will be superseded by the working payload
according to APS protocol. Thus the working payload is
protected.

Definition
 2 fiber : there are two fibers between a pair of nodes

 Bi-direction : service between two NE use the same
section of the network and are transmitted by opposite
directions
 Multiplexing section : protection based on MS, protect
the payload part, use APS to start the protection
Working Principle
S1/P2

Working Paths (S1 and S2)
Under normal conditions,
D B services are transmitted along
the working path. The first half
of the fiber maybe taken as the
C
working path, taking STM-16 as
an example, the 1st-8th AU4 is
the working path.
Protecting Paths (P1 and P2)
S1/P2 After protection switch,
services are transmitted along
the protecting path. The last
A S2/P1 half of the fiber maybe taken
as the protecting path, taking
STM-16 as example, the 9th-
D B 16th AU4 is the protecting
path.
C
Relationship between
S1/P2 the working and

around corners; therefore microwave antennas must be in "line of sight" of
each other

1. High Volume
2. Long distance transmission
3. Point to point transmission
4. High frequency radio signals are transmitted from one terrestrial transmitter
to another

Free Space & Atmospheric Attenuation
 Free space & atmospheric attenuation is

defined by the loss the signal undergoes
traveling through the atmosphere.
Changes in air density and absorption by
atmospheric particles.
Reflections
 Reflections can occur as the microwave

signal traverses a body of water or fog
bank; cause multipath conditions
Diffraction
 Diffraction is the result of variations in the

terrain the signal crosses
Rain Attenuation
 Raindrop absorption or scattering of the

microwave signal can cause signal loss in
transmissions.
Skin Affect
 Skin Affect is the concept that high

frequency energy travels only on the
outside skin of a conductor and does not
penetrate into it any great distance. Skin
Affect determines the properties of
microwave signals.
Line of Sight
Fresnel Zone Clearance
 Fresnel Zone Clearance is the minimum

clearance over obstacles that the signal
needs to be sent over. Reflection or path

 The distance a signal travels and its

increase in frequency are inversely
proportional.
 Repeaters extend range:
 Back-to-back antennas.
 Reflectors.
Range-cont’d
 High frequencies are repeated/received at

or below one mile.

miles but 25-30 miles is the typical
placement for repeaters.
Interference
 Adjacent Channel Interference.

 Digital not greatly affected.
 Overreach
 Caused by signal feeding past a repeater to
the receiving antenna at the next station in the
route. Eliminated by zigzag path alignment or
alternate frequency use between adjacent
stations.
Components of a Microwave System
 Digital Modem.
 Radio Frequency (RF) Unit.
 Antenna.
Digital Modem
 The digital modem modulates the

information signal (intermediate frequency
or IF).
RF Unit
 IF is fed to the RF unit which is mounted

as close physically to the antenna as
possible (direct connect is optimal).
Antenna
 The antenna is a passive device that

radiates the modulated signal. It is fed by
direct connect of the RF unit, coaxial
cable, or waveguides at higher
frequencies.
Waveguides
Waveguides are hollow channels of

low-loss material used to direct the
signal from the RF unit to the
antenna.
Modulation Methods
 Primarily modulated today with digital FM

or AM signals.
 Digital signal remains quiet until failure
threshold bit error rate renders it unusable.
Bit Error Rate (BER)
 The BER is a performance measure of

microwave signaling throughput
 10 or one error per million transmitted bits of
information.
 Data fail over is at 10 ; voice traffic can
withstand this error rate.

Microwave Radio Applications
Optix RTN
Route microwave transmission solution
provided by the OptiX RTN
The OptiX RTN 950 adopts a split structure. The system consists of the
IDU 950 and the ODU.
Each ODU is connected to the IDU 950 through an IF cable.
Appearance of the IDU 950
ODU
 The ODU is the outdoor unit for the OptiX RTN 900. It
converts frequencies and amplifies signals.
 The OptiX RTN 900 product series can use the RTN
600 ODU and RTN XMC ODU, covering
 the entire frequency band from 6 GHz to 42 GHz
There are two methods for mounting the ODU and the
antenna: direct mounting and separate
mounting.
 The direct mounting method is generally adopted when a small- or medium-
diameter and 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 illustrates the direct mounting
method.
 The direct mounting method can also be adopted when a small- or medium-
diameter and dual-polarized antenna is used. Two ODUs are mounted onto an
antenna using an orthomode transducer (OMT). The method for installing an OMT
is similar to that for installing a hybrid coupler.
 The separate mounting method is adopted when a large- or medium-diameter and
single-or dual-polarized antenna is used. Figure 1-5 shows the separate mounting
method. In this ituation, a hybrid coupler can be mounted (two ODUs share one
feed boom).
Direct mounting Separate mounting
Radio link types that the OptiX RTN
950 supports
Microwave Types
 The microwave type is determined by the IF board and the configured working mode.
 SDH/PDH Microwave
 The SDH microwave refers to the microwave that transmits SDH services.
 The PDH microwave refers to the microwave that transmits only PDH services (mainly, the E1
services).
 SDH Microwave
 Unlike conventional SDH microwave equipment, the OptiX RTN 950 has a built-in MADM.
 The MADM grooms services to the microwave port through cross-connections, maps the
services into the STM-1-based or 2xSTM-1-based microwave frames, and then transmits the
frames. With this capability, services are flexibly groomed and the optical network and the
microwave network are seamlessly converged.
 The IF1 board can work in TU-12-based PDH microwave mode or STM-1-based SDH
microwave mode.
 The ISU2/ISX2/ISV3 board can work in SDH mode to support transmission of one STM-1 or two
STM-1s.
Hybrid/Packet Integrated IP Microwave
 The Hybrid/Packet integrated IP microwave (Integrated IP radio for short) can

transmit one type among or a combination of Native TDM services, Native Ethernet
services, and PWE3 packet services according to software settings. Therefore, the
Integrated IP radio achieves a smooth upgrade from Hybrid microwave to Packet
microwave.
 IP Microwave Classification
 IP microwave can transmit packet services and support the AM function. The packet
services transmitted can be Native Ethernet services or packet services
encapsulated in PWE3.
 Conventional IP microwave is divided into two different types: Hybrid microwave and
Packet microwave.
 Hybrid microwave: Native TDM services and Native Ethernet services can be
transmitted through the air interface.
 Packet microwave: TDM services, ATM/IMA services, and Ethernet services after
PWE3 encapsulation are transmitted through the air interface.
 As IP microwave evolves, the OptiX RTN 950 supports Integrated IP radio. As a
result, the equipment can support Hybrid microwave and Packet microwave at the
same time, and can simultaneously transmit multiple types of services at air
interfaces.
PDH microwave
SDH microwave
Hybrid/Packet integrated IP microwave
Modulation Strategy
 The SDH/PDH microwave supports fixed modulation. The Hybrid/Packet microwave

supports
fixed modulation and adaptive modulation.
 Fixed Modulation
 Fixed modulation refers to a modulation policy in which a modulation scheme is adopted
invariably to provide constant air interface bandwidth for a running radio link.
 When the OptiX RTN 950 uses fixed modulation, the modulation scheme and the
channel spacing can be set by using software.
 The SDH/PDH radio link uses fixed modulation.
 The Integrated IP radio link supports fixed modulation. Various combinations of
modulation schemes and channel spacing can be set.
 Adaptive Modulation
 The adaptive modulation (AM) technology adjusts the modulation scheme automatically
based on channel quality.
Modulation Scheme and Air-interface Capacity
 When the AM technology is adopted, in the case of the same channel

spacing, the microwave service bandwidth varies according to the modulation
scheme; the higher the modulation efficiency, the higher the bandwidth of the
transmitted services.
 When the channel quality is good (such as on days when weather conditions
are favorable) the equipment adopts a high-efficiency 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 days with adverse
weather), the equipment adopts a low-efficiency 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 radio link, which helps ensure the link availability for higher-
priority services
Throughput at air interfaces of integrated IP radio (56 MHz
channel)
 Modulation Scheme Shift and Service Priorities
 In Integrated IP radio mode, the equipment supports the AM technology. With configurable
priorities for E1 services and packet services, the transmission is controlled based on the
service bandwidth and QoS policies corresponding to the current modulation scheme. The
highest-priority services are transmitted with precedence.
 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 different queues are transmitted to the microwave port after running 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 the services in these queues are discarded.
 NOTE
 In Integrated IP radio mode, when the equipment transmits STM-1 services and packet
services at the same time, STM-1 services have highest priority and their transmission is
ensured.
Adaptive Modulation
 AS shows in the nest slide the service changes caused

by shifts among six modulation schemes as an
example. The orange part indicates E1 services. The
blue part indicates packet services. The closer the
service is to the outside of the cylinder in the figure, 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.
Adaptive modulation
 The AM technology used by the OptiX RTN 950 has the following
characteristics:
 The lowest-efficiency modulation scheme (also called reference scheme or
modulation scheme of guaranteed capacity) and the highest-efficiency
modulation scheme (also called nominal scheme or modulation scheme of
full capacity) used by the AM can be configured.
 – The IFU2/IFX2/ISU2/ISX2 boards support six levels modulation schemes,
including
QPSK, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM, and 256QAM.
 – The ISV3 board supports 12 levels modulation schemes, including QPSK
Strong, QPSK, 16QAM Strong, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM,
256QAM, 512QAM, 512QAM Light, 1024QAM, and 1024QAM Light. Strong
and light indicate FEC coding strength. Strong FEC improves receiver
sensitivity by increasing error-correcting codes. Light FEC expands service
capacity by reducing error-correcting codes.
 – The ISV3 board can work in IS2 running mode. When interconnect with an
ISU2 or ISX2 board, the ISV3 board works in IS2 running mode and
supports only six levels modulation schemes, including QPSK, 16QAM,
32QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM, and 256QAM.
 In AM, when modulation schemes are switched, the
transmit frequency, receive frequency, and channel
spacing remain un changed. In AM, modulation
schemes are switched step-by-step.
 In AM, modulation scheme switching is hitless. When
the modulation scheme is downshifted, high-priority
services will not be affected when low-priority services
are discarded. The switching is successful even when
100 dB/s channel fast fading occurs.
Capacity
Service Interfaces
Cross-Polarization Interference
Cancellation
 Cross-polarization interference cancellation (XPIC)
technology is used together with co-channel
 dual-polarization (CCDP). The application of the two
technologies doubles the wireless link
 capacity over the same channel.
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.
