Section 2 - Description of the System

Introduction

MeshNetworks develops Mobile Broadband communications systems with “meshed” architectures. That is, each node can connect directly, or indirectly (by hopping through other nodes), with any other node in the network. The peer-to-peer nature of the mesh architecture combined with data rate control in each subscriber and infrastructure node in the network insures reliable delivery while providing increased network capacity thr ough g eogr aphic reuse of the frequency spectrum.

The network comprises four distinct elements:

• Subscriber Devices (SDs)

• Wireless Routers (WRs)

• Intelligent Access Points (IAPs)

• Mobile Internet Switching Controllers (MiSCs)

The overwhelming portion of the value that MeshNetworks provides is in the W ireless Modem Card (WMC). The WMC is used in Subscriber Devices as well as in the Wireless Router and Intelligent Access Point (IAP), both of which are types of infrastructure equipment. MeshNetworks provides a Mobile Internet Switching Controller (MiSC) which is assembled from industry standard equipment and conforms to industry standards. MeshNetworks also provides the network applications, which are required for proper operation and value extr action from the

mobile Internet system.

Figure 1. Elements of the

All network elements are designed to support mobile applications. Subscriber Devices can be either mobile or fixed, while the remaining components are typically fixed. Wireless Routers and

System

Page 12

MeshNetworks

IAPs can be mounted on utility poles, light poles, traffic apparatus, billboards, and buildings. Their fixed positions allow the Subscriber Device to pinpoint its location within one second. WRs and IAPs can also be mobile, attached to emergency vehicles, utility vehicles, or fleet vehicles. It is important to note that the WMC technology within a Subscriber Device is identical to the WMC technology in Wireless Routers and IAPs.

The with end user data access rates on the order of DSL or Cable Modem. The chosen metric of network efficiency for a data centric network is bits per second per Hertz per square kilometer per dollar (bps/hz/km coverage area, and cost. One of the most important factors in optimizing this metric is the choice of network architecture.

system was designed to minimize the cost associated with deploying a mobile Internet

/$). This metric balances the user data rates, allocated bandwidth,

Subscriber Devices (SDs)

The MeshNetworks’ Wireless Modem Card (WMC) is provided as a PCMCIA form factor device. The WMC is used with an off-the-shelf IP-enabled laptop computer. These two devices together make up a Subscriber Device (SD).

The WMC provides access to the fixed infrastructure network and other networks, such as the Internet, and it can also function as a Wireless Router and repeater for other SDs.

SDs can therefore be a key part of the network infrastructure. Adding subscribers can effectively increase the number of Wireless Routers in the network, which increases the number of alternative paths that subscribers may utilize. This can reduce both the time and cost to deploy network infrastructure, while also increasing the spectral efficiency and therefore the capacity of the network. In addition, because SDs can also operate in an ad hoc peer -to-peer mode, two or more SDs can form a network without the need for any fixed infrastructure.

Wireless Routers (WRs)

The Wireless Router (WR) is a low-cost small-sized wireless device that is prim arily deployed to seed a geographical area, extending the range between IAPs and subscribers, and to simultaneously increase the network’s spectral efficiency. Wireless Routers provide a number of functions in the network, such as:

• Range Extension for Subscriber Devices and IAPs

• Hopping Points for subscriber peer-to-peer

networking

• Automatic Load Balancing

• Route Selection

• Network capacity optimization through small packet

consolidation

• Fixed reference for geo-location services

The Wireless Router's small size and light weight allow it to be mounted almost anywhere. No towers are required. WR software can be updated via overthe-air downloads.

Page 13

Setup and Deployment

Intelligent Access Points (IAPs)

The Intelligent Access Point (IAP) is a lo w-cost small device that acts as the transition point from the wireless network to the wired core network and from there, through media gateways, out to the Internet. Each IAP offers up to 6 Mbps burst data rate to subscribers. IAPs support the 10/100 base-T Ethernet interface. Other interfaces are supported through commercially available media translation devices. If additional network capacity is required, more IAPs can be easily deployed - without t he need for extensive RF or site planning. IAPs provide functions such as:

• Local mobility management of SDs

• Fixed reference for geo-location services

• Hopping points for subscriber peer-to-peer networking

• Transition point from the wireless to the wired portions of

the network

• Route Selection

The IAP’s small size and light weight allow it to be mounted anywhere power and network connectivity are available. No towers are required. IAP software can be updated via over-thewire downloads.

Mobile Internet Switching Controller (MiSC)

The Mobile Internet Switching Cont roller (MiSC) pr ovides connectivity between the IAPs and wired world, and hosts the network’s management and provisioning functions. The MiSC is composed of off-the-shelf hardware components, such as LAN routers and application servers. MiSC software consists of both offthe-shelf and MeshNetworks’ proprietary software, MeshManager. The MeshManager software provides functions for the network such as:

• Subscriber Provisioning, Management, and Authentication

• Configuration and Fault Management

• Network Monitoring and Reporting

Page 14

MeshNetworks

Operational View of the System

Figure 2 shows the different ways in which a subscriber can reach an IAP. It can connect directly, or hop through any number or combination of WRs and SDs. Additionally, if the subscriber wishes to execute a peer-to-peer application such as a f ile transfer, the subscriber can communicate directly, or through any combination of SDs, WRs, and IAPs.

The ability to use ad hoc routing to forward traffic improves the scalability of the mobile wireless Internet. In particular, the ability for the user to accomplish a peer-to-peer application without the use of infrastructure has tremendous advantages. A significant problem in every mobile wireless network is backhaul. The applications through SDs and WRs without ever reaching an IAP or the wired Internet. This reduces the amount of backhaul required by enabling the SDs to accomplish the backhaul whenever the opportunity arises. This results in lower deployment costs, reduced backhaul, and lower operating expenditures. The service provider can provide the same level of service with less equipment by empowering the SDs with ad hoc networking capability.

The IAP may be mounted on a pole having a diameter of 1-3.5 inches, utilizing the provided bracket. The antenna must have a separation distance of at least 2 m eters from the body of all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Users and installers must be provided with antenna installation and transmitter operating conditions to satisfy RF exposure compliance.

Page 24

MeshNetworks

When deploying the IAP, the antenna should be a minimum of 30 inches from any nearby metal poles to avoid distortion of the RF pattern.

The IAP must have an Ethernet connection to the MiSC. If the distance between the IAP and the MiSC is greater than 100 meters, the Network Operator may utilize a T1 with the optional Net-to-Net boxes. The IAP has a 5V, 3-pin, power out connection on the side of the box to power the Net-to-Net boxes. Other media converters may be used at the network operator’s discretion.

The installation location must provide AC power to the IAP. It is the responsibility of the Network Operator to ensure that the installation complies with any

local building codes and permits.

Initial IAP Configuration

Prior to attempting configuration of the IAP, the IAP m ust be powered on and have connectivity to the MiSC.

Geo-location is an optional configuration item t hat is entered into an infrastructure device via the Device Manager tool, located on the MeshManager server (refer to the MeshManager User’s Guide). MeshNetworks recommends that a DGPS receiver be used to obtain accurate GPS coordinates, and that the longitude, latitude, and altitude values have 5 digits following the decimal point.

Testing

Once there is an Ethernet connection to the MiSC, verify the health of the IAP with the following procedure:

1. Apply power to the IAP.

2. Obtain the transceiver MAC address that was recorded in Section 4 - MAC Address

Tables. The address will be in the format 00-05-12-0A-xx-yy.

3. From MeshManager, display devices using the MAC address.

4. Select the appropriate IAP in the device tree, and then ping the device (right click and select ping).

A response to the ping commands verifies that both the transceiver and SBC are communicating.

Typically, wireless routers are distributed within a network to extend range and guarantee coverage. A rule of thumb is to deploy 3-4 hop networks to optimize range, latency, and throughput.

The MWR6300 installation location must provide AC power for the device. It is the responsibility of the Network Operator to ensure that the installation complies with any

local building codes and permits.

Initial Configuration

The optional configuration process for Geo-Location is the same as the IAP.

Page 28

MeshNetworks

Testing

Verify the operation of the MWR6300 using the following procedure:

1. Apply power to the MWR6300.

2. Obtain the transceiver MAC address that was recorded in Section 4 - MAC Address

Tables. The address will be in the format 00-05-12-0A-xx-yy.

3. From MeshManager, display devices using the MAC address.

4. Select the appropriate WR in the device tree, and then ping the device (right click and select ping).

A response to the ping command verifies that the transceiver is communicating.

Network Configuration – Device Manager

“Device Manager” is a utility located on the MeshManager server. It is used to configure and monitor the deployed network. Refer to the MeshManager User’s Guide for detailed instr uctions on how to use the Device Manager.

Mea systems are delivered with the initial configuration of IAPs, WRs, and SDs in the MeshManager system. This allows for easy testing of the system as units are tested on site. There are two basic tests to verify correct operation the system. The first test is to perform ping tests to each device and the second test is to verify access the Internet.

Network Configuration – IAP Configuration Via Web Interface

A second method of performing various network configuration functions for an IAP may be accomplished using a standard web browser. Connect a host PC to the switch in the MiSC. Using a standard Internet Browser such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or Netscape, enter the IP Address corresponding to the IAP to be configured as shown in Figure 13. If you do not know the IP address of the IAP then contact the system administrator. Optionally, if the network has been configured with a DHCP Server and a DNS Server, you may use the Device System Name. Since all IAPs ship with the same default Device System Name, it is recommended that you install and configure the IAPs one at a time.

Section 5 - Site Selection/Deployment Guidelines

General Site Selection Guidelines

The IAP location(s) should be selected first since they have the additional requirement of routing information back to the MiSC. This may be done via an Ethernet cable if the IAP and MiSC are located within 100 meters (the max length permitted for standard Ethernet) of each other. If the distance is greater than 100 meters, a mechanism for extending the Ethernet connection will be required, e.g., using fiber or T1. (MeshNetworks recommends T1 backhaul equipment from Net-to-Net Technologies.)

Once the IAPs have been placed, then the location of the WRs can be determined. Optimally, the devices should be distributed such that a SD has no more than 3 hops to an IAP.

AC power must be available for both IAPs and WRs. Lastly, any local building/structure codes must be adhered to, as well as proper permits for

placing devices on structures that are not owned by the Network Operator (e.g., light poles). MeshNetworks has developed the “Location Analyzer” tool to assist in the placement of

infrastructure. This tool runs on a Windows 2000 SD. The tool collects and analyzes data, ultimately resulting in a deployment quality indication. Refer to the Location Analyzer documentation for information on configuring and using this tool.

Antenna Guidelines

The location of fixed infrastructure antennas must address proper antenna orientation, selection of elevation pattern for the specific locale, the avoidance of pattern distortion, and t he impact of obscuration and non-line-of-sight paths.

Polarization - Most of the antennas used in deployment will be vertically polarized. To maximize line-of-sight signal reception, both the tr ansmitting and receiving antennas should be vertically oriented to avoid signal loss due to polarization mismatch. T his applies t o mobile and stationary antennas. For example, placing a magnetically mounted vehicle antenna on a curved portion of the vehicle roof so that its axis is not vertical risks a measure of signal loss at range, dependent upon the specific elevation pattern details, as discussed above.

Local obstructions - Antennas should be mounted either above or below the plane of obstructions as shown in Figure 28.

Obstruction

Antenna

Obstruction

Figure 28. Antenna Mounting

Low gain “rubber duck” antennas that are mounted directly to Mesh transceivers are designed

MeshNetworks

for transmitting and receiving vertically polarized radiation. Hence, care must be taken to insure close-to-vertical orientation of these antennas to avoid subst ant ial signal loss due to polarization mismatch. Additionally, attenuation sustained by use of these antennas inside vehicles can be as high as 10 dB. Typically, losses are in the 4 to 7 dB range if the antenna is above the “metal can” of the vehicle so that radiation and reception occur at window level.

Lab Checkout

Prior to deploying any equipment in the field, it is recommended to test the equipment in a lab environment to ensure the equipment is functioning.

Step 1 - Verify MiSC Set up the MiSC as discussed in the MiSC Assembly section. Attach a Windows computer to

the SMC switch. Verify that the following can be pinged: edge router, core router, MeshManager. Refer to the Default Addresses and Logins section for the addresses.

Step 2 – Verify IAPs. Using an Ethernet cable, attach the IAPs, one at a time, to the SMC switch. Using either the

MAC or ETH address on the IAP box for reference, use MeshManager to verify that the IAP can be reached, and that it is obtaining an address from the DHCP server. Next, start an SD in infrastructure mode, and ensure that it also receives an IP address from the DHCP server. This verifies that both the SBC and the transceiver in the IAP are functioning.

Step 3 – Verify WRs Connect an IAP as described in Step 2. Power up the WRs one at a time. Using the MAC

address on the WR box for reference, verify that the MeshManager console can reach each WR, and that an appropriate IP address is displayed.

Step 4 – Verify PCMCIA cards Connect an IAP as described in Step 2, Load a host computer with the WMC6300 drivers as

described in section ??. Insert a WMC6300 card into the host device. Start MeshTray. Verify that the status tab displays a valid IP address. Eject the WMC6300 card utilizing the “Unplug or Eject Hardware” icon. Insert another WMC6300 card and repeat the MeshTray test.

General Deployment Guidelines It is recommended that field deployment follow the same steps as

described in General Site Selection Guidelines

Once the IAPs have been placed, then the location of the WRs can be determined. Optimally, the devices should be distributed such that a SD has no more than 3 hops to an IAP.

AC power must be available for both IAPs and WRs. Lastly, any local building/structure codes must be adhered to, as well as proper permits for

placing devices on structures that are not owned by the Network Operator (e.g., light poles).

Typically, losses are in the 4 to 7 dB range if the antenna is above the “metal can” of the vehicle so that radiation and reception occur at window level.

Lab Checkout. IAPs should be deployed first and verified as functional. Next the WRs should be deployed in a “near to far” pattern; in other words, WRs that are 1 hop from an IAP should be deployed first, followed by WRs that are 2 hops from an IAP, etc. This allows the functionality of each WR to be determined at the time of installation, thus eliminating any extra truck rolls to trouble-shoot a WR.
