    Scope Section 1 of this document gives an overview of Nera Evolution Series PTP microwave radios. Section 2 and onwards covers the Evolution Series EDGE specifications.

    1. INTRODUCTION - EVOLUTION SERIES The Nera Evolution Series covers products for all type of professional wireless carrier systems. Neras microwave experience dates back more than 60 years, with a leading position in this field.

    The Nera Evolution Series microwave radio dramatically changes the operations for wireless transmission network owners. With common platform architecture, transmission capacity, system configurations and transmission protocols can be changed to adapt to future needs. Evolution Series is designed with focus on high MTBF to achieve low cost of ownership. Fullband ODUs leads to requirement for very few spare parts and simplified logistics. Evolution Series ensures maximum uptime and low maintenance.

    The Evolution Series microwave radio family is designed to transmit data rates from about 6 Mb/s to 1.6 GB/s, in frequency bands from 4 GHz to 40 GHz. The configuration of capacity and modulation is configurable, giving an optimal balance between system gain and spectral efficiency. The units in the system are very flexible allowing a wide range of capacities and features to be enabled by software.

    Network operators can easily future proof the network as the microwave radio can easily adapt to the evolution of the transmission network. Growing traffic and the convergence of network technologies causes changing requirements, such as capacity upgrades, change of transmission systems between PDH, SDH/SONET and pure Ethernet; all this is simply implemented by software configuration change and change of interface modules. The available interfaces range from E1, T1, E3, DS3 STM-1/OC-3, and STM-4/OC12 to 10/100BASE-TX and Gigabit Ethernet.

    The Evolution Series radios are integrated in Neras EM/NMS system, NetMaster. Integration of Fault and Performance management into 3rd party SNMP Managers are possible using the Evolution SNMP MIBs provided by Nera.

    Evolution Series Main Features and Benefits:

    Licensed frequency bands from 4 to 40 GHz, ETSI and ANSI Indoor and outdoor configurations from non-protected to 7+1 Channel bandwidths from 5 to 56 MHz Throughput from 6Mb/s in 5MHz to 350Mb/s in 56MHz One Transceiver covers one complete frequency band (very few spares needed) Low power consumption Embedded advanced Ethernet switching features Native Ethernet and E1/T1 mapping or Ethernet and E1/T1 over SDH/SONET

    1.1. Technology and Architecture The Evolution Series microwave radio utilizes the state-of-the-art technology to achieve low power consumption and high reliability.

    A high degree of RF circuit integration is achieved using Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuits (MMICs). This, combined with a direct at RF modulation architecture, enables a broadband and compact ODU design. Furthermore, patented power amplifier technology delivers low power consumption which further enhances reliability.

    The modem contains multi-level modulation, combined with powerful error correction codes. The modem is extremely flexible, enabling an optimum configuration for all capacities and channel plans.

    The ODU consists of a Transceiver and a Diplexer. The ODU is frequency and capacity agile over the whole frequency band. The Diplexer tuning range is very wide and most frequency bands can be covered by 2-3 variants for the whole band. The frequency setting is easy and is performed locally or remotely through the GUI or element manager.

    The ODU can be mounted directly on the antenna, both in unprotected and protected configurations. The ODU can also be mounted on the antenna pole, using a short flexible waveguide to the antenna.

    The various InterFace Units (IFUs) are extremely compact, catering for cost efficient solutions to both TDM and Ethernet traffic needs. The IFUs contains the user interfaces, baseband processing and multiplexing, management and radio interfaces. The embedded SDH/PDH cross-connects allows flexible aggregation of TDM traffic from tail sites, while the advanced Ethernet L2/VLAN-switch performs carrier Ethernet service aggregation and QoS functions. 1.2. Network Applications The Evolution Series microwave radio is ideally suited for carrier grade backhauling of mobile- and/or WiMAX- networks. The flexibility in configurations between Ethernet, E1/T1 and SDH/SONET is future-proofing the investment, as the equipment can easily adapt to a pure packet network by simple software re-configuration.

    Backhaul networks - The Evolution Series PtP radio is ideal for demanding and critical application such as backhaul of 3G

    and the emerging 4G cellular systems. The hybrid nature of the Evolution Series, makes it a perfect choice for backhaul of legacy TDM based services as well as a mix mode network, where TDM and IP traffic are carried over a shared link, towards the next generation all IP infrastructure.

    - Where loss of traffic directly results in loss of revenue, reliability and maximum uptime are critical parameters for the network operator. The Evolution Series reliable and flexible architecture as well as high system gain, ensures increased availability of the offered services, and a secured revenue stream. The embedded E1 cross-connect enables routing of traffic without the need for external cabling. The radio can be configured for a wide range of capacities, ensuring an optimal utilization of the available spectrum as well as capabilities for upgrading when traffic demand increases or new services are introduced.

    2. SYSTEM OVERVIEW EVOLUTION SERIES EDGE The remaining sections of this document cover Evolution Series EDGE.

    Evolution Series EDGE is a fully software configurable point-to-point radio system with split architecture. Transmission capacity, adaptive modulation and Ethernet features are controlled by licenses and upgrades can easily be done after installation.

    The ANSI version of the IFU supports 100Mbps Ethernet. The ETSI version of IFU includes, in addition to Ethernet interfaces, 20E1 interfaces and embedded E1 cross-connect.

    Evolution Series EDGE - Main Features and Benefits:

    Licensed frequency bands: 7, 8, 11, 13, 15, 18, 23, 26, 38 GHz System configuration: 1+0 and Hot Standby Channel bandwidths: 7, 14 or 28-30 MHz One Transceiver covers one complete frequency band (very few spares needed) Throughput: 10.5 111 Mb/s Fixed or hitless adaptive modulation Native mapping of Ethernet traffic into radio-frame with minimal overhead Advanced Ethernet switching features EBUS - for easy interconnection of IFUs in a traffic node Up to 20xE1 mapped directly to radio-frame Embedded E1 cross-connect Low power consumption

    Evolution Series EDGE is utilizing native mapping of traffic into the radio frame. With the ETSI IFU, E1 capacity is optional, and selectable up to 20xE1. Remaining link capacity is used for Ethernet traffic. Fixed or adaptive modulation is selectable in RF-channels of 7, 14 or 28-30 MHz. Changes and upgrades can be done by the user without HW changes of the basic platform.

    In adaptive modulation mode, the radio will select the highest possible throughput based on received signal quality. If the signal quality is degraded due to link fading or interference, the radio will change to a more robust modulation and link throughput is consequently reduced. When signal quality improves, the modulation is automatically increased and link throughput is restored to the original setting. The throughput changes are hitless (no bit errors introduced). During a period of reduced throughput, the traffic is prioritized based on Ethernet QoS - and E1 priority - settings. In case of congestion, Ethernet and/or E1 traffic with lowest priority is dropped. E1 capacity is fixed per modulation state based on the E1 priority setting.

    2.1. Hardware Overview A non-protected terminal consists of one IFU, one ODU and one antenna. The IFU and the ODU is interconnected by a single coaxial cable carrying power to the ODU and user-traffic. Maximum distance between IFU and ODU is 200m/650ft. The ODU consist of a Transceiver and a Diplexer. Each Transceiver covers a full frequency band (e.g. the 23GHz band). The Diplexer covers a sub-band, and there are typically 2-3 different diplexers per frequency band. The diplexers are field replaceable. For an ODU/diplexer overview see Appendix 1.

  • 10 Evolution SeriesTM EDGE NGP\00586 Rev. C, 2009-10-29

    2.2. Software Overview The equipment has two software banks in the IFU, one active and one inactive for backup and upgrades. Upgrades can be downloaded to the inactive software bank using the Graphical User Interface (GUI) or the element manager (NetMaster). Active software bank can be switched any time controlled from NetMaster or through the GUI. Software to the ODU is automatically uploaded from the IFU at power up. Optional software licenses are stored in the IFU. Each IFU is given an IP-address and is considered as a network element together with its accompanied ODU. A HSB-terminal is then consistently considered as two network elements. Terminal configuration can be uploaded from the terminal for backup and duplication needs, and downloaded to the terminal from a saved configuration file.

    2.3. Compatibility with Evolution Series METRO & XPAND The Evolution Series EDGE is a hardware optimized solution based on the Evolution Series platform. The IFU and ODU are optimized for cost effective edge networks, requiring TDM (E1) connections and/or carrier Ethernet services. The ODU has the same physical appearance and is using the same diplexers, couplers and antenna mount systems as the Evolution Series METRO & XPAND ODU. The external diplexer design, allowing easy replacement of diplexers in the field, is common for all Evolution Series ODUs. The cable and connectors between the IFU and the ODU is the same. Installation and operation of the different Evolution Series variants are very similar, and look and feel is the same. The user interface in the embedded web manger is similar to the other Evolution Series variants, and the management solutions for the NMS are also following the same principles.

    2.4. Features basic terminal Evolution Series EDGE (no feature license required):

    1+0 or Hot Standby configuration 7 MHz 10.5 Mbps 14 MHz 21 Mbps 28-30 MHz 44 Mbps Ethernet 4xFE with MAC switching (one in EBUS#1-interface) Ethernet QoS 4 Alarm input - open/closed circuit configurable Configuration and control through built-in Web-server using a standard web-browser SNMPv2 for network management

    2.5. Licensed features (software controlled) Fixed higher order modulation (16 and 32 QAM), enabling capacity up to 111 Mbps Adaptive Modulation (This license includes fixed higher order modulation) E1 transport, up to 20xE1 E1 cross-connect (4x20E1 PXC) SNMPv3 / HTTPS (encrypted network management) VLAN-switching (IEEE 802.1Q). This feature allows tagging of untagged traffic (priority and

    VLAN-id) as well as assigning VLAN membership to each switch port Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP Ethernet loop protection)

    2.6. System Configurations Evolution Series EDGE is available in the following configurations:

    1+0 (Non Protected) Hot Standby:

    o Equipment Protection Switching (EPS). IFU and ODU are protected. External split of traffic required

    o Radio Protection Switching (RPS). ODU is protected. Internal split of traffic. All customer connections to main IFU

    2.6.1. 1+0 system The 1+0 configuration consists of an IFU with 20 E1 interfaces, two EDGE-bus serial interfaces and three FE Ethernet interfaces. A single coaxial cable connects the IFU to the ODU. The ODU is mounted directly on the antenna or near the antenna. When the ODU is not mounted directly on the antenna, a short flexible waveguide is used to connect the ODU to the antenna port.

    Figure 2-1 Block diagram, 1+0 terminal

    2.6.2. Hot StandBy (HSB) system The HSB configuration consists of two IFUs connected through EBUS in a Main/Standby mode, two coaxial cables to the ODUs and two ODUs mounted on an RF-Coupler Unit or on two separate antennas. The RF-Coupler can be asymmetrical or symmetrical, and the RF-Coupler/ODU assembly can be mounted directly on the antenna or near the antenna. When the RF-Coupler is not directly mounted, a short flexible waveguide is used to connect the RF-Coupler to the antenna port.

    HSB Space Diversity: Improved system performance can be achieved by use of two antennas), and no coupler. This configuration provides path diversity as well as higher system gain with the same size antennas.

    IFU Configuration modes: Two alternative IFU configuration modes are available; HSB-EPS with protection of IFU and ODU and HSB-RPS with protection of ODU.

    2.6.2.1. Hot Standby Equipment Protection Switching (HSB-EPS) E1s and Alarm inputs are connected to both IFUs using a Y-split-cable. Ethernet protection is achieved by using separate connections from an external Ethernet switch. EBUS2 between the IFUs is used for control and monitoring.

    2.7. Test features

    2.7.1. Looping & built-in PRBS The following looping possibilities are built into the equipment and can be activated from the Graphical User Interface. All loopbacks are automatically de-activated after a user selected activation period. The E1s can be individually configured to run built-in PRBS tests. In combination with E1-looping it is then possible to do an E1 performance test from one location.

    Ethernet loopbacks require test-instruments that accept traffic coming back to the same interface.

    2.8. IFU Unit Description Two HW-versions of the IFU are available. The A-version has Ethernet and E1 interfaces, and the B-version has Ethernet interfaces only. The IFUs are extremely low power units with fixed interfaces. Each unit is slightly less than 1RU high and only half 19 width wide. Two IFUs can be mounted next to each other in a 19 rack, and two IFUs are used in protected configurations. The two IFU variants are compatible if configured without E1.

    The IFUs contains a built-in controller, Ethernet interfaces and a built-in Ethernet switch for packet traffic. The A-version includes also E1 interfaces and cross-connect for the E1 traffic. Traffic capacity and mix of Ethernet and E1 is user selectable with some features controlled by software licenses. Ethernet- and E1- traffic are then carried over the coaxial interface to the ODU where the signals are modulated to the RF-carrier. The IFU has a built-in web-server, and may be managed by a standard web-browser.

    2.8.1. IFU Interfaces The IFU is equipped with the following interfaces/connectors:

    1 x RJ45 for Alarm-input (4 x External Alarm Input) 3 x 10/100 Base-TX interface 2 x EBUS (RJ45) for interconnection of IFUs (including 1xFE on EBUS#1) 1 x ODU interface (TNC) -48V Power GND connector (M4 screw) SD memory card slot (for future use) Additional interfaces for IFU-A: 20 x E1 (2xE1 on each RJ45 connector)

  • NGP\00586 Rev.C, 2009-10-29 Evolution SeriesTM EDGE 15

    2.8.2. IFU LEDs The IFU has four LEDs at the left end indicating power and alarm/traffic status. One LED at the right end of the IFU is indicating Radio (ODU) status.

    2.8.3. SD memory card slot An SD memory card slot is provided at the side of the IFU. A standard SD- or SDHC- memory card can be inserted to store configuration data and/or RF-input time series measurements.

    2.8.4. IFU reset button A reset button is provided next to the ODU-interface. The reset button is accessed through a small hole in the IFU-front and is used to reset configuration to factory default.

    2.8.5. E1-cross-connect (IFU-A version) The IFU-A contains an embedded 4-port PDH X-Connect (PXC). All E1s may be cross-connected individually between each of the four ports. One port goes to the 20xE1 Line Interfaces, one port goes to the Radio Interface, and the last two ports goes to the EBUS interfaces (EBUS #1 and #2). Each of the four ports can handle up to 20 E1 circuits (4x20E1 non-blocking cross-connect).

    2.9. ODU Unit Description The ODU hardware is capacity and modulation independent. It consists of a Transceiver and a Diplexer. The Transceiver is tunable over the whole frequency band, both high and low part. The diplexer determines the sub-band coverage. The ODU is normally mounted directly to the antenna for all configurations. In HSB and 2x 1+0 configurations, an RF-coupler is used when connecting the ODU to the antenna interface.

    An optional pole mount kit is available.

    4.4. Diplexer and Antenna Interface

    4.4.1. General description The diplexer determines the ODU sub-band coverage and duplex spacing. Most frequency bands are divided into only two sub-bands. See APPENDIX 1 for details. The same diplexer is used both for high and low subband, and since the diplexer is a detachable unit it can be changed and turned in field. This simplifies planning and maintenance. ODU transmit and receive frequency can be set to any frequency within the given pass-band range.

    4.4.2. RF-Coupler The additional loss for RF-Coupler is given in Table 4-15. The RF-Coupler is used in protected configurations and single polarized 2+0 systems.

    Transmit and Receive data signal (including IFU-ODU control communication). Power to the ODU.

    The cable interface has over-voltage and over-current protection. Maximum IFU-ODU cable length supported is 200m. No cable length configuration is needed. Use of external lightening arrestors is optional.

    4.5.2. Cable requirements A double shielded waterproof coaxial cable should be used. Cable requirements:

    5. BASEBAND CHARACTERISTICS 5.1. General Ethernet traffic (and optional E1-traffic) is mapped into a scalable frame for transport towards the ODU. Ethernet traffic goes through the built-in Ethernet switch (Layer-2 switch) where one port of the switch is connected to the radio mapper and four FE ports are available at the front of the IFU. The Ethernet traffic can be mixed with E1 traffic and the Ethernet traffic capacity is equal to the selected link capacity less the capacity allocated to E1s.

    5.2. IP and MPLS packet traffic support The Link is a layer-2 device and is transparent to layer-3 for user traffic. This means that both IPv4. IPv6 and MPLS packets encapsulated in standard Ethernet packets can be transported over the link. Management traffic is running over IPv4. Traffic priority based on DSCP/TOS (Layer 3) is supported. 5.3. Ethernet characteristics

    5.3.8. Quality of Service (QoS) The QoS characteristics of the system will naturally be governed by the queuing and buffering strategies of the subsystems. To allow for a wide array of applications for this product these strategies are made user selectable.

    5.3.8.1. QoS priority scheme Four traffic/priority queues representing up to four distinct traffic classes are available. Incoming traffic can be assigned to a traffic class (queue) based on VLAN 802.1p, type of service, or port.

    1. VLAN (802.1p user priority) Frame is assigned to traffic class based on VLAN Priority Code Point (PCP) value represented by 8 decimal values (0-7).

    2. DSCP/TOS (IPv4/IPv6) Frame is assigned to traffic class based on DSCP/TOS represented by 64 decimal values (0-63).

    3. Port (Ethernet input ports) Mapping to traffic class level can be assigned to each port individually (i.e. all incoming frames are mapped to the same traffic class).

    4. QoS priority OFF (Maximum throughput) All traffic is mapped to a single traffic class.

    5.3.8.2. QoS scheduling mode The traffic/priority queues can be serviced with either weighted round robin (fair queuing) or strict priority scheduling (strict queuing).

    Strict priority scheduling In this scheduling mode, the frame chosen for transmission is taken from the highest priority queue that is not empty. This ensures that all high priority frames (e.g. frames mapped to high priority queues) egress as soon as possible.

    Weighted Round Robin (WRR) scheduling WRR scheduling distributes forwarding capacity between the different priority queues to prevent high priority data streams from completely blocking lower priority streams. Scheduling is done according to a weighted round robin principle, with the set of weights (8, 4, 2, 1) applied to the four priority queues (highest service level/priority queue has the highest weight).

    5.3.9. Rapid Spanning Tree RSTP is supported according to IEEE 802.1D-2004, clause 17. In addition, the system offers Rapid Link Shut-down, where a failure on the radio link layer will immediately trigger spanning tree convergence. RSTP operates on physical topology. When VLANs are in use, some VLANs may be rendered unconnected due to RSTP switchover.

    5.3.10. Maximum Packet Size The maximum Ethernet frame size is 1632 bytes (not including preamble and start of frame delimiter).

    5.3.11. Packet Statistics RMON statistics is supported and can be accessed via the WEB interface or through the SNMP MIB.

    5.4. E1 characteristics The IFU has 20xE1 interfaces as standard. 2xE1 is provided on each connector. E1 capacity over the link is selectable from 0-20 x E1.

    5.4.1. E1 Interfaces Interface parameters according to ITU-T Rec. G.703: Bit rate: 2.048 Mb/s 50 ppm Line code: HDB3 Impedance: 120 balanced Maximum attenuation of input signal at 1.024 MHz: 6 dB Connector type: RJ-45 Jitter and wander specifications are according to ITU-T Rec. G.823

    5.4.2. E1 priority A priority scheme is available for E1-traffic to allow scaling of E1 capacity when the link is running with lower capacity due to adaptive modulation. Each enabled E1 can be allocated priority from high to low. High priority E1s will always be transmitted. Lowest priority E1s will be skipped when switching one modulation level down and second lowest priority E1s will be skipped when switching another modulation level.

    Ethernet traffic is always using remaining link capacity Ethernet traffic priority (QoS) is independent of E1 traffic priority

    5.4.3. E1 delay E1 delay through one hop (from E1-interface on site A to E1-interface on site B, excluding propagation delay): < 0.3 ms

    5.5. EBUS characteristics Two EBUS interfaces are prepared for easy interconnection of E1s and control signals between IFUs. In addition the EBUS#1 connector provides access to Ethernet port#4. E1s on EBUS#1 and EBUS#2 are enabled by the PXC license.
