OptiX RTN 360 Radio Transmission System
Product Description
2.1 Integration
RTN 360 integrates a built-in antenna and uses a wide frequency band design, which allows a
single chassis to cover the entire V-band.
Built-in Antenna
RTN 360 integrates its system control unit, clock unit, power unit, baseband unit, RF unit, and
antenna into a single chassis. See
Figure 2-1 Integrated chassis with a built-in antenna
2 Functions and Features
Figure 2-1.
Such a highly integrated design facilitates quick and flexible installation of RTN 360s in fulloutdoor scenarios.
Wide Frequency Band
RTN 360 uses a wide frequency band design, which enables a single chassis to cover the
entire V-band from 59 GHz to 64 GHz. This eliminates the need to distinguish TX high and
low sites, which means that spare parts need to be prepared for only one equipment model.
Both RTN 360 and Huawei small cell base stations can be installed on walls and poles. They
are similar in appearance and look harmonious when installed together.
2.2 TDD
Time division duplex (TDD) has unique advantages over frequency division duplex (FDD) in
asymmetric transmission and high frequency spectrum resource utilization.
In FDD mode, symmetric frequencies are required to function as the uplink and downlink
channels. The V-band is license-free in most areas and may be used by multiple users, and it
is difficult to obtain interference-free symmetric frequencies. Therefore, RTN 360 uses TDD
mode.
Issue 01 (2016-01-15)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
OptiX RTN 360 Radio Transmission System
Product Description
In TDD mode, asymmetric frequencies are used. Uplink and downlink data is transmitted in
different time periods. The ratio of timeslots for uplink data to those for downlink data can be
configured based on service requirements, flexibly using frequency resources.
Figure 2-2 Comparison between FDD and TDD modes
2 Functions and Features
Using TDD mode, RTN 360 has the following advantages:
lOne RTN 360 can cover the operating frequency band (59 GHz to 64 GHz), eliminating
the need to distinguish TX high and low sites.
lTimeslots for uplink and downlink data can be flexibly adjusted based on actual traffic.
The ratio of timeslots for uplink data to those for downlink data can be configured to 5:1,
4:1, 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, or 1:5.
2.3 Automatic Frequency Selection
RTN 360 supports automatic frequency selection, which enables it to automatically select an
interference-free channel as the working channel.
RTN 360 scans frequencies within a specified range to select interference-free channels. See
Figure 2-3.
Automatic frequency selection applies to the following two scenarios:
lDuring commissioning in site deployment, this function is used to obtain interference-
free channels, releasing engineers from planning microwave link frequencies.
lFor an in-service RTN 360, this function is used to reselect and switch to an interference-
free channel if the current microwave link is interrupted or fails due to interference on
the working channel, improving microwave links' immunity to interference.

2 Functions and Features
2.4 Adaptive Modulation
Modulation Scheme and Air-interface Capacity
Adaptive modulation (AM) technology automatically adjusts the modulation scheme based on
channel quality.
When AM technology is enabled and the same channel spacing is used, the available radio
service bandwidth varies according to the modulation scheme: the higher the modulation
efficiency, the higher the bandwidth of the transmitted services.
lWhen channel conditions are favorable (such as on sunny days), the equipment uses a
higher-order modulation scheme to transmit more user services. This improves
transmission efficiency and spectrum utilization of the system.
lWhen channel conditions are unfavorable (such as on stormy or foggy days), the
equipment uses a lower-order modulation scheme to ensure that higher-priority services
are transmitted first. If some lower-priority queues become congested due to a lack of
available bandwidth, some or all interfaces in these queues are discarded. This method
improves the anti-interference capabilities of a microwave link and ensures link
availability for high-priority services.
Issue 01 (2016-01-15)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
OptiX RTN 360 Radio Transmission System
Product Description
Modulation Scheme Shift and Service Priorities
For Ethernet services transmitted through IP microwave, priorities can be set based on the
service bandwidth and QoS policies corresponding to the current modulation scheme, to
control service transmission. The transmission of services with the highest priority is ensured.
With the QoS technology, ethernet 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.
Adaptive Modulation
Figure 2-4 shows how the modulation scheme shifts step by step according to weather
changes and how modulation schemes affect service throughput and reliability. In this
example, the modulation scheme of guaranteed AM capacity is QPSK and the modulation
scheme of full AM capacity is 32QAM.
Figure 2-4 Adaptive modulation
2 Functions and Features
Issue 01 (2016-01-15)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
OptiX RTN 360 Radio Transmission System
Product Description
Characteristics
The AM technology used by RTN 360 has the following characteristics:
lSupports the QPSK, 16QAM, and 32QAM modulation schemes.
lCan configure both the lowest-order modulation scheme (also called reference scheme or
modulation scheme of guaranteed AM capacity) and the highest-order modulation
scheme (also called nominal scheme or modulation scheme of full AM capacity).
lCan switch modulation schemes without changing the transmit frequency, receive
frequency, or channel spacing.
lSwitches modulation schemes step-by-step.
lFeatures hitless switching. When the modulation scheme is downshifted, high-priority
services are not affected while low-priority services are discarded. Switching is
successful even when 100 dB/s channel fast fading occurs.
2.5 Power over Ethernet
The RTN 360 provides a P&E port through which the RTN 360 supports power over Ethernet
(PoE) as a powered device (PD).
2 Functions and Features
In PoE mode, an outdoor network cable carries Ethernet service signals along with DC power
signals. PoE has the following advantages:
lReduces the number of power cables and simplifies installation.
An RTN 360 can work with a power injector (PI) to implement power over Ethernet through
its P&E port. See
Figure 2-5 Working with a PI
