2.2 Applications

2.2.1 Small Cell Backhaul in Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) Environment

Many types of radio transmission depend, to varying degrees, on line of sight (LOS)
between the transmitter and receiver. Small cell backhaul is changing this rule of g ame.
Most small cells are installed of light poles of on the walls of buildings in urban areas and
inevitably encounter obstructions such as trees, street curves and buildings between the
endpoints of the backhaul links.The non-line-of-sight (NLOS) capability of Lite ideally
suites itself in this environment because it operates at the frequency lower than 6 GHz.
Furthermore, by supporting both licen se d an d un licen s ed spe ctr u m, Lite allo ws ope ra ­tors to select a spectrum strategy that best meets their requirements.

This wireless backhaul solution delivers significant total cost of ownership (TCO)
improvements over existing macro-cell backhaul solutions, allowing operato rs to expand
their networks cost-effectively.

Lite can be deployed using a tree topology (Figure 4), with macro-cell traffic aggregation
points on rooftops, and tail, chain or small hub microsites at street level. This architec­ture provides:

• Less network interference than point-to-multipoint system due to the use of directive
antennas;

• Simple network connectivity and reliable path planning.

• An evolution path towards protected network architecture.

2.2.2 Rural Backhaul

The need for extending cellular phone and data network to rural areas requires a
backhaul solution that achieves the lowest TCO while meeting the stringent link through­put and distance requirements. Lite provides a cost-effective solution that supports long
ling-of-sight distance (> 20 km) using licensed and unlicensed frequency bands and
achieves high throughput and low latency.

2.2.3 Public Safety and Vertical Applications

Lite can also be used to build secure, reliable and cost effective transport for first
responders (police, fire and medical), video surveillance and sensor network backhaul­ing along motorways, sea ports, electricity grid, oil and gas pipelines and border security
fence, etc.

2.3 Environmental Standards

In normal operation condition, the working temperature range for Lite is from -40 ºC to
+55 ºC. For the detailed information, refer to the document of Environmental Product

3.1 Main Features

Lite embraces the following features:

• Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM)

• Transmit Power Control (TPC)

• 2x2 Multiple-input and Multiple-output (2x2 MIMO)

• Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)

• Dynamic Channel Selection (DCS)

• Retransmission

• Configurable Uplink/Downlink Ratio

• Quality of Service (QoS)

• Power over Ethernet

• Synchronization

• Co-site Synchronization

• OFDM Modulation

• Low-density Parity Check (LDPC) Encoding

• LLDP

• Radio Port Performance Monitoring

• Adaptive Noise Immunity (ANI)

3.2 Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM)

ACM allows the user to improve link utilization by making high capacity data transmis­sion reliable. ACM changes code and modulation according to the link quality in the
same channel bandwidth.

Figure 5 ACM for Traffic Growing
ACM refers to the automatic modulation adjustment that a wireless system can perform

to prevent weather related fading from disrupting communication on the link.
When server weather condition, such as a heavy rain, affects the transmission and

reception of data over a wireless network, the radio system automatically changes the
modulation, so that non-real-time data-based applications may be affected by signal
degradation, but real-time applications will run smoothly and continuously.

Since communication signals are modulated, higher modulation levels increase the
number of bits that are transferred per signal, thus enablin g higher throughputs, or better
spectral efficiencies. It should be noted that, when using a higher modu lation technique,
better signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) are needed to overcome interference and ma intain a
tolerable bit error ratio (BER) level.

15

Lite measures the receiving signal quality by calculating the receiving EVM at any time.
ACM allows the system to choose the best modulation in order to overcome fading and
other interference.

The algorithm uses the highest possible modulation in accordance with link quality deg­radation.

The switch between modulation depends on the re ceiv ing s ign al qu a lity.
For example, on a clear day, using 64 QAM modulation, the transmit and receive data

capacity can be 120 Mbit/s. When the weather becomes over cast and stormy, the ACM
algorithm changes the modulation to 32 QAM and the system transmits at 100 Mbit/s.

Switchover has the ability to step up or down through all the modulation schemes
between BPSK and 64 QAM. This guarantees that the link will operate at the highest
possible modulation scheme at any time.

3.3 Transmit Power Control (TPC)

TPC controls the far-end transmit power level in order to keep the r eceived signa l level
above a certain user-defined threshold, in accordance with the particular modulation
method and capacity being used.

TPC allows traffic to transmit at a low power level while enough SNR is maintained. It is
a green design which reduces the interference to other system and power con sumption.

DragonWave Inc.Features

Figure 6 TPC Design
User can define target power for the local site and Lite will measure the difference

between the RSSI and target power, and feedback to remote site so that th e remote site
can adjust the transmit power accordingly.

TPC feature provides the customer with more flexibility in network design.

3.4 2x2 Multiple-input and Multiple-output (2x2 MIMO)

In radio, MIMO is the use of multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to
improve communication performance. It is one of several forms of smart antenna tech­nology.

MIMO technology offers significant increases in data throughput without additional
bandwidth. It achieves this goal by spreading the same total transmit power over the
antennas to achieve an array gain that improves the spectral efficiency (more bits per
second per hertz of bandwidth) or to achieve a diversity gain ghat improves the li nk reli­ability.

By using a dual polarized (cross polarization) antenna, Lite supports 2x2 MIMO with a
single antenna.

16

DragonWave Inc. Features

3.5 Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)

Radar detection is required when Lite operates on channels that have a nominal band­width falling partly, or completely, within the frequency range from 5250 MHz to 53 50

MHz, or 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz.
Furthermore, Lite does not share the channel with other de vice, so beside radar signal,

once Lite detected other equipment operating on the same channel, it will automatically
switch to another channel.

Lite implements DFS according to EN 301 893, EN 302 502, FCC 47CFR part 15 oper­ating as a master.

Accordingly, the operational behavior and individual DFS requirement that are associ­ated with Lite are as follows:

• At installation (or re-installation), it is assumed to have no available channels within
the 5250 MHz to 5350 MHz band and/or the 5470 MHz and 5725 MHz band. In such
a case, before starting operations on one of those channels, the equipment perfor ms
a channel availability check (CAC) to ensure that there is no radar operating on the
channel. If no radar has been detected, the channel becomes an available channel
and remains as is until a radar signal is detected during the in-service monitoring.
There will be no transmissions by Lite within the channel being checked during this
process.

• Once Lite has started operations on an available channel, that channel becomes th e
operating channel. During normal operation, the operating channel will be monitored
(in-service monitoring) to ensure that there is no radar operating on the channel.

• If a radar signal or signal from other device is detected dur ing in-service monitoring,
Lite devices in the link will stop transmitting on this channel which becomes an
unavailable channel.

• An unavailable channel becomes a usable channel after the n on-occupancy period.
A new CAC is required to verify that there is no radar operating on the channel,
before it may be used again. If no radar is detected, the channel becomes an avail­able channel once again.

3.6 Dynamic Channel Selection (DCS)

Besides DFS required by regulation, Lite also implements DCS to dynamically select the
working channel according to the interference level, because the interference from co­channel and adjacent channels may affect the performance of Lite.

• Spectrum scan
Before occupying a channel, Lite must scan the current band and select the best
channel as the operation channel.
After the spectrum scan, Lite will give a graphic report of the interference level of
each 20 MHz channel.

• In-service monitoring
After occupying a channel, Lite executes in-service monitoring to detect if there is
interference from co-channel or adjacent channel.
By monitoring the errors on the physical layer, Lite can count the PHY error, channel
utilization ratio and packet error rate to determine whether to change to another
channel.

17

• Channel shutdown
When interference signal detected in operation channel exceeds the threshold, Lite
will notify the remote site and switch to another channel.

3.7 Retransmission

At unlicensed frequency band, especially in urban areas, the interference is not predict­able due to the complicated and dynamically changing environment. The sporad ic burst
of interference may result in packet loss (defective packet is also dropped by the
receiver).

Lite implements dynamic packet retransmission mechanism by which the corrupted or
lost packet is retransmitted until it is received correctly or the timeout reaches.

The retransmission function implements a negative ackn owledgement (NACK) method.
The receiver explicitly notifies the sender when packets, messages, or segments were
received incorrectly and thus may need to be retransmitted, and the transmitter will
buffer the recent transmitted packets and retransmit the requested packets.

DragonWave Inc. Features

3.8 Configurable Uplink/Downlink Ratio

To meet the different market data model requirements, Lite supports configurable
uplink/downlink ratio to better utilize the radio bandwidth.

Lite downlink/uplink ratio can be set to 50:50, 70:30 or 30:70 which can improve the
bandwidth utilization for different scenarios. E.g., uplink and downlink traffic are not
usually balanced, the download traffic usually being much more than the uplink traffic.
In this case, 30:70 ratio can be used to improve bandwidth utilization.

19

3.9 Quality of Service (QoS)

Figure 7 shows the QoS architecture of Lite with the following main components.

• Priority determination (classification)

• Scheduling

• CoS queue and egress port rate limiting (shaping).

DragonWave Inc.Features

Figure 7 QoS Architecture

3.9.1 Priority Determination (Classification)

Lite supports service priority determination based on the 802.1p byte/DSCP. Dependin g
on the priority determination of the data, the system will direct the data into different
queues.

3.9.2 Scheduling

Lite supports 8 queues on each port, each queue corresponding to one priority, from the
highest CoS7 to the lowest CoS0. The following scheduling methods are supported by
Lite:

• Strict priority (SP)
The SP mothod schedules access to the egress port between the QoS queues, from
the highest QoS queue index to the lowest. The purpose is to provide a lower latency
service to the higher QoS class of traffic.
Traffic in higher priority queues is scheduled first until all demand is met or until all
available bandwidth is used.
Strict priority queues have no limit or CIR so it will get all the bandwidth required if it
is available, before bandwidth is offered to other queues.

20

DragonWave Inc. Features

• Weighted round robin (WRR)
WRR is used to allocate a bandwidth per queue to ensu re that each queue gets th e
amount of bandwidth determined by the weighing assigned.
The available bandwidth is distributed to the queues in need of bandwidth propor­tional to the assigned weight.
Once every WRR minimum bandwidth per queue has been satisfied, excess band­width is allocated in proportion to the weights of the queues competing for the
excess bandwidth.
The weight of each queue can be configurable from 1 to 127.

• Deficit Weighted Round Robin (DWRR)
An inherent limitation of WRR mode is that the actual bandwidth allocated to a
queue depends on the frame size, but as frame sizes are not known to the sched­uler, it is hard to control the bandwidth allocated to a queue.
To address this issue, DWRR is invented. It is a modified version of WRR.
DWRR has two parameters, credit counter (also called deficit counter) and quantum.
DWRR serves the frames at the head of every non-empty queue whose credit
counter is greater than the frame’s size. If the credit counter is lower, the queue is
skipped and its credit is increased by a given value called quantum. Hence, the
function of quantum is somewhat like weight but is in bytes. This increased value is
used to calculate the credit counter the next time around when the scheduler
examines this queue for serving its head-of-line frame. If the queue is served, the
credit is decremented by the size of frame being served.

• SP + WRR/DWRR
The combination of SP and WRR/DWRR method is supported. In this method, a
certain number of CoS queues (out of 8) on an egress por t work in SP mode , while
the rest of the queues on the same port work in WRR/DWRR mode. it is possible to
enable all CoS queues either in SP or WRR/DWRR mode, or some with SP and the
rest with WRR/DWRR. However, the queues configured for SP mode must have a
higher index value than those for WRR/DWRR mode. The SP mode iindices must
also be consecutive.
Up to 8 queues (starting from Q8) can be configured for strict priority queues (see

Table 3). SP queues use SP based on CoS values to assign bandwidth ahead of

other WRR or DWRR queues.

3.9.3 CoS Queue and Egress Port Rate Limiting (Shaping)

Traffic shaping is supported across each egress port.
Lite supports port rate limiting by L1 and L2.

3.10 Power over Ethernet

To be size/cost optimized, there is no dedicated external power supply interface to Lite.
The power supply feed to Lite is provided over Ethernet interface.

Both standard PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) and P+E solutions are supported.

DragonWave Inc.Features

g

Lite is available in 2 hardware versions, one supporting both PoE+ and P+E, another
supporting only P+E. Refer to 4.2 for the mechanism. Refer to the document of Order
Codes Reference for the order codes of the 2 versions.

The system’s rated voltage is -48 VDC, rated current 1.0 A.
P+E is a proprietary power over Ethernet solution that supports at least 60 W of power

output. Lite also supports one P+E output which facilitates powering an additional Lite.
The PoE+ and P+E circuits are independent.

3.10.1 P+E

The functionality of the P+E feature is shown is Figure 8.

22

Figure 8 P+E functionality

• The P+E In interface works as a P+E PD (powered device) port. Lite can be fed by
a P+E PSE (power source equipment) via this port. This interface can be connected
to the following systems:

– IDU such as Hub 800 (with order code T555800M B.0 1) or First Mile 200 i;
– AC/DC or DC/DC proprietary Power Injector;
– Base station with P+E functionality.

• The P+E Out interface works as P+E PSE port and can be used to feed another Lite

at the same location (chain site).

Figure 9 shows the scenario where a P+E device is powering two Lites.

• The PoE+ In interface works as a PoE + PD por t. Lite can be powered by a standard
PoE+ PSE via this port. This interface can be connected to the following systems:

– Generic IDU that uses PoE+ modality;
– Base station with PoE+ functionality
– PoE+ Power Injector.

• The Internal interface is a port with P+E po wer pinout. This port transfers power and

Ethernet traffic between PoE+ In and P+E In interfaces.

• The P+E Out interface works as P+E PSE port and can be used to feed another Lite
at the same location (chain site).

At a chain site, two Lites can be powered from a single PoE+ PSE power feed. Figure

3.11 Synchronization

Sync Ethernet is supported on both Ethernet interfaces.
Lite can also deliver synchronization and timing across the radio when RF interface is

selected as timing source.
TDD RF is naturally unfriendly to synchronization and timing delivery, Lite can achieve

synchronization quality close to physical timing based on proprietary time stamping
mechanism.

25

3.12 Co-site Synchronization

To better reuse the frequency and reduce the interference of co-site imple mentation, co­site synchronization is implemented.

When two collocated Lites who use the sa me frequency or frequency close to each other
are not synchronized and one of them is in transmitting status and another one is receiv­ing status, the receiving Lite will receive the remote site signal plus the transmitting Lite’s
interference signal, which results in packet loss or even link breakdown.

DragonWave Inc.Features

26

Figure 12 Co-site Synchronization Realization
Co-site synchronization is used to control all links connected to the same node to

transmit and receive at the same time, thus transmitting ov er receiving interfer ence can
be avoided. Site synchronization is achieved through in-band protocol on GE interfaces
without any need for GPS signal and/or dedicated distribution.

A 1588-like mechanism is employed to synchronize the transmission trigger. One Lite
at the hub site is assigned the role of master an d the rest co-site Lites are assigned
slave. The 1588-like protocol synchronizes the transmitting and receiving time and
interval so the Lite in the same site can switch to transmit or to receive at the same time
to avoid any site receiving the signal from the collocated Lite.

When the co-site synchronization is enabled, the Tx/Rx cycle will be aligned so the local
Tx will not interfere with the collocated Rx.

3.13 OFDM Modulation

The PHY block of Lite is a half-duplexed OFDM baseband processor which supports 52
sub-carrier in 20 MHz bandwidth and 114 sub-carrier in 40 MHz bandwidth which allows
the system to have high spectral efficiency while have robust performance against
narrow-band interference and frequency-selective fading due to multi-path.

Configurable GI allows Lite to work in different scenarios to combat with different delay
spread. The short GI configuration allows Lite to work in low delay spread condition to
have better throughput while the long GI configuration allows Lite to have better radio
performance in worse delay spread condition by sacrificing the throughput.

3.14 Low-density Parity Check (LDPC) Encoding

Lite implies LDPC as the FEC coding method which can correct bit error during trans­mission. It allows the system to survive in poor SNR scenario. In the same SNR sce­nario, it may allow the system to work in higher modulation scheme or have a better
packet error performance.

Lite supports 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6 LDPC encoding combined with different modulation
schemes, to meet different SNR and through pu t re qu ire m ent.

29

3.15 LLDP

LLDP is supported to advertise the system key capabilities on the Ethernet LAN and also
learn the key capabilities of other systems on the same Ethernet LAN. Information like
system name and description, IP management address, etc., can be sent or received as
LLDPDU (LLDP data unit) via SNMP MIB for every station to know their neighbors,
LLDP frames are sent at a fixed rate on each port of every station and no acknowledge­ment is expected from the receiver. It is so-called one way connectionless data link layer
protocol which runs on MAC layer.

LLDP allows the NMS to build the physical topology of the network under its supervision.
The NMS can only get a complete picture of the controlled network when all the NEs
support LLDP.

Both Single-IDU mode and Dual-IDU mode support LLDP.
For detailed information about LLDP, refer to IEEE 802.1 ABTM-2005.

3.16 Radio Port Performance Monitoring

Lite provides sophisticated performance monitoring method to allow customer to
monitor its working status, e.g.,

• Tx/Rx power statistics do the Tx/Rx monitoring and the attenuation cha nge informa­tion collection;

• EVM statistics do the link quality monitoring;

• Link available time adds up the working time of the link;

• Packet error statistics do the packet error calculation in both real time and history,

allowing the customer to understand the impact of link quality degradation;

• Interference statistics do the co-channel interference and off-channel interference
calculation in both real time and history to help the customer make man ual operation
when it is needed.

3.17 Adaptive Noise Immunity (ANI)

5 GHz unlicensed band often operates in challenging environment with many different
sources of interference, compromising the performance of Lite.

Many system can operate in the same frequency band, such as WLAN devices, wireless
cameras and microwave ovens. This may have significant influence on Lite. By activat­ing Adaptive Noise Immunity, Lite ignores sources of interference in the radio fie l d and
only focuses on remote Lite with sufficient signal strength. This process is based on
measured values of the link with regard to interferences in the radio field. If a defined
threshold is exceeded, the reception sensitivity of Lite will be reduced respectively.
Therefore, the probability is increased that the system will ignore interferences while
searching for a free transmission slot. These adaptive changes of the reception sensi­tivity are based on the permanent check of the radio field.

5 Product Structure

Figure 17 shows the top-level block diagram. Lite includes 6 function modules, including

• Frame processing module (switching, QoS, radio frame processing);

• Control function (TPC/ACM/DCS/DFS/Retransmission) processing module;

• Power supply module;

• IEEE 1588v2 processing module;

• Baseband and RF module;

• Antenna.

Figure 17 Function modules of Lite

5.1 Packet Processing Module

The packet processing module provides th e fo llowin g func tio ns :

• Packet switching;

• QoS mapping and scheduling;

• Frame fragmentation and aggregation;

• MAC frame encapsulation.

The packet switching unit switches traffic between an Ethernet port and a radio port, and
also performs VLAN manipulation.

The switch can be done based on port or on MAC learning. Lite supports up to 48 VLANs
switch.

The QoS mapping and scheduling unit maps the QoS class for different traffic an d imple­ments strict priority or WRR/DWRR scheduling to provide different SLA for different
traffic classes.

The frame fragmentation and aggregation unit support aggreg ates different packets into
the same MAC frame to better utilize the radio bandwidth and fragments packets that

40

DragonWave Inc. Product Structure

exceed the radio frame limit, to allow long packets to be processed in low modulation
schemes, or low radio bandwidth.

The MAC frame encapsulation unit encapsulates packets into the radio frame.

5.2 Power Supply Module

The power supply module supports power over Ethernet. It generates tertiary voltage
sources which are stabilized, monitored and distributed to the other sections.

5.3 IEEE 1588v2 Module

The 1588 module processes 1588 packets, controls 1588 time stamping and runs the
proprietary 1588-like synchronization process.

5.4 Baseband and RF Module

The baseband and RF module encapsulates the MAC frames into radio frames, modu­lates and demodulates, encrypts, processes TPC and DFS functions.

5.5 Antenna

The antenna is connected to the RF module. Lite support both integrated antenna and
external antenna which will provide flexibility for customer for installation and other pur­poses.

41

6 Management

Lite can be managed locally or remotely. Both in-band and out-band management are
realized through 3 types of management IP addresse s. Lite can be mana ged by a Web­based GUI (i.e., Link Viewer) or NetViewer. It can also be managed by other standard
third party management systems which support SNMP.

6.1 Web-based GUI (Link Viewer) Management

Through an embedded Link Viewer program in Lite, the user can access Lite system
through network to monitor, administer and configure it. More specifically, with this user­friendly program, the user can perform the following tasks:

• System general parameter management;

• Radio parameter management;

• Service management;

• DCN management;

• Software management;

• Licensing management;

• Performance management;

• Maintenance.

DragonWave Inc.Management

6.2 Accessing

Lite supports the following 3 kinds of management IP addresses to guarantee the oper­ators accessibility in any conditions.

• Public IP to support the management through management VLAN.
The IP address, management VLAN and priority of the management IP are config­urable.

• Local management IP to support local access to Lite, collocated Lite and remote
Lite.
It supports direct connection between Lite and the mana gement computer. The local
management IP is configurable.

• Private IP to support Lite access when both public IP and local managem ent IP are
lost.
This IP address only supports the access to local Lite and limited access to radio link
through the private in-band management channel.

6.3 SNMP Agent

Lite has an inbuilt simple network management protocol (SNMP) agent that provides
management functions for the whole radio terminal. Fault, performance and configura­tion management functions can be performed using SNMP actions. The version sup­ported is SNMP v2c.

42

6.4 SNTP, SFTP and SSH

The simple network time protocol (SNTP) functionality is used to update the real time
clock of the node by connecting to an NTP server, which must be accessible through the
IP-based DCN. The SNTP can be enabled or disabled in NetViewer.

DragonWave Inc. Management

Secured file transfer protocol (SFTP) is supported for the purpose of so ftware download
and large file size downloads, e.g., performance monitoring data.

SSH is supported for remote command interface control.

6.5 Software Upgrade

Lite software can be upgraded from previous release so that new features will be sup­ported without hardware change. The upgrade can be performed both locally or
remotely by Link Viewer.

6.6 License

The user who wants to use certain features ha s to purchase the corresponding licenses.
A license can be purchased together with the hardware and the applica tion software
when the system is initially purchased, or it can be later purchased and installed onto an
already operating system. If the license is ordered together with the equipment, it is
installed during commissioning.

Lite is delivered to the customer with the basic software release and the basic license
pre-installed, so essential functions are enabled. There are additional features that may
be required, for instance, when the network scales up, or network security is required. If
additional features need to be activated, the customer can acquire an upgrading license.

The basic license configuration is 50 Mbps UL + DL capacity.
Lite provides the following upgrading licenses:

• Basic (50 Mbps) to 100 Mbps upgrade license;

• Basic (50 Mbps) to full-capacity (230 Mbps) upgrade license;

• 100 Mbps to full-capacity (230 Mbps) upgrade license;

• License for co-site synchronization;

• License for Ethernet OAM (in future release);

• License for 1588v2 TC clock synchronization (in future release);

• License for security (SNMPv3, SSH and SFTP) (in future release);

• License for Radio Ring (in future release).

The following country code licenses are used to meet different regulations in different
countries. One of them has to be purchased for use in different countries and areas.

• FCC (required in USA);

• ETSI (required in European countries);

• TELEC (required in Japan);

• ANATEL (required in Brazil);

• ICASA (required in South Africa);

• IC (required in Canada);

• RALI (required in Australia);

• ROW (required in rest of the world).

One country code license can only be activated once and is not allowed to be changed
to another one.

In-field license upgrade is also supported, which can be performed by custome r service
staff or by the user. The upgrade can be pe rformed both locally and re motely using DWI

43

DragonWave Inc.Management

proprietary EMSs, e.g., Link Viewer. The upgrade may also be performed by other no n­DWI proprietary EMSs by the customer themselves.

When the unit is not managed remotely, make sure that the license has been retrieved
for the equipment before going to the site. There are no emergency license available.
