TDM Microwave:
PDH microwave is used for access; SDH microwave is used for
convergence.
Ethernet services are transmitted in the space through the EOS
technology.
It supports the fixed modulation scheme from QPSK to 128QAM, and
features small capacity.
It is used in 2G and early stages of 3G networks.
Hybrid Microwave:
Native TDM + Native Ethernet
It supports the modulation scheme from QPSK to 256QAM and the AM
function, and features high bandwidth.
It is used in scenarios where TDM and IP networks coexist at the
initial stage of the transition from 2G networks to 3G networks. At
this stage, voice services are primary and data services are
secondary among mobile services. Adding the packet switching
capability to the original TDM microwave equipment is undoubtedly
the preferred solution at the transition stage of the mobile
transport network evolution. In this way, investment in original
equipment can be protected and existing voice services can be
transported.
Packet Radio:
It is pure packet microwave.
It supports the modulation scheme from QPSK to 256QAM and the AM
function, and features high bandwidth.
It is used at the All-IP stage of 3G networks. The pure packet
microwave is the best choice for a carrier who needs to build a new
mobile IP transport network.

ETH
The early 2G and 3G networks focus on voice services. At that time,
new backhaul networks were built or E1 networks were rented. On the
backhaul networks, the service transmission bandwidth is fixed. The
usage of the air-interface bandwidth of the traditional TDM
microwave is low. In the model focusing on voice services, however,
the weaknesses of the traditional TDM microwave are not obvious.
With the popularization of 3G networks, especially with the rapid
development of mobile broadband services such as HSPA, the
bandwidth of the Iub interface in the 3G NodeBs increases and
changes dynamically. As a result, the weaknesses of the TDM
microwave are exposed. It is predicted that the required
transmission bandwidth on the local mobile network in 2012 will be
higher than that in 2007 by four times due to the increase in data
services. There is no doubt that the existing TDM microwave system
cannot meet the requirements for explosive bandwidth
increase.
When mobile services are dominated by data services and the
IP-based interfaces are used, the Hybrid microwave can also support
the pure packet mode to maximally prolong the lifecycle of
products, thus saving investments for carriers. With the rapid
development of all-IP mobile broadband services, data services
develop rapidly. As a result, the capacity of the Hybrid microwave
equipment gradually fails to meet the increasing bandwidth
requirements, but the Hybrid microwave equipment can be smoothly
evolved to the pure packet microwave equipment that completely
supports data services.
With the evolution trend of the transmission of mobile broadband
services, the rented E1 links fail to meet the requirements for
multi-service transmission, high-precise timing, and high-QoS
transmission. In addition, line renting fees and maintenance fees
are high. As a result, the mobile carriers that lack transmission
resources want to build a mobile IP transport network during 3G
network construction. In this case, the best choice is to use the
pure packet microwave.

Evolution of Microwave Transmission Network
When microwave transport networks evolve towards packet transport
networks inevitably, it is a most cost-effective solution for
carriers to evolve microwave transport networks from traditional
TDM microwave networks to hybrid microwave networks, and then to
pure packet microwave networks. This solution combines strengths
such as protecting investment in existing networks, flexible
upgrade, and compatibility. If carriers need to build new mobile IP
transport networks, the best choice is to use advanced pure packet
microwave equipment to transport future All IP services.

Radio Link Forms
The OptiX RTN 900 V1R2 provides the radio links of different forms
by flexibly configuring different IF boards and ODUs to meet the
requirements of different microwave application scenarios.
Different radio link forms of OptiX RTN 900 V1R2 support different
types of microwaves. The radio link form of the TDM microwave
supports the PDH microwave and the SDH microwave. The radio link
form of the Hybrid microwave support the Hybrid microwave.
The PDH microwave refers to the microwave that transmits only the
PDH services (mainly, the E1 services). During the transmission,
the PDH microwave does not change the features of the PDH
services.
The SDH microwave refers to the microwave that transmits SDH
services. During the transmission, the SDH microwave does not
change the features of the SDH services.
The Hybrid microwave refers to the microwave that transmits native
E1 services and native Ethernet services in hybrid mode. The Hybrid
microwave supports the AM function. During the transmission, the
Hybrid microwave does not change the features of the E1 services
and Ethernet services.

TDM Microwave
The PDH microwave refers to the microwave that transmits only the
PDH services (mainly, the E1 services). During the transmission,
the PDH microwave does not change the features of the PDH services.
Unlike the conventional PDH microwave equipment, the RTN 900 V1R2
has a built-in MADM. The MADM grooms the E1 services to the
microwave port for further transmission. Thus, the services can be
groomed flexibly and seamless convergence between the optical
network and the microwave network is achieved.
The SDH microwave refers to the microwave that transmits SDH
services. During the transmission, the SDH microwave does not
change the features of the SDH services.
Unlike the conventional SDH microwave equipment, the RTN 900 V1R2
has a built-in MADM. The MADM grooms services to the microwave port
through cross-connections, maps the services into the STM-1-based
microwave frames, and then transmits the STM-1-based microwave
frames. Thus, the services can be groomed flexibly and seamless
convergence between the optical network and the microwave network
is achieved.

Hybrid Microwave
The Hybrid microwave refers to the microwave that transmits native
E1 services and native Ethernet services in hybrid mode. The Hybrid
microwave supports the AM function. During the transmission, the
Hybrid microwave does not change the features of the E1 services
and Ethernet services.
The RTN 900 V1R2 has a built-in MADM and a packet processing
platform. The MADM transmits E1 services that are accessed locally
or extracted from the SDH to the microwave port. After processing
the accessed Ethernet services in the unified manner, the packet
processing platform transmits the Ethernet services to the
microwave port. The microwave port maps the E1 services and the
Ethernet services into Hybrid microwave frames and then transmits
the Hybrid microwave frames.
A Hybrid microwave frame has the following features:
The length of a Hybrid microwave frame does not change in the given
modulation scheme/channel spacing.
In the Hybrid microwave frame, each E1 service occupies the fixed
bandwidth so that the Hybrid microwave does not change the features
of the E1 service during transmission.
In the Hybrid microwave frame, Ethernet services occupy the
remaining bandwidth. Ethernet frames are encapsulated and adapted.
Thus, during transmission, the Hybrid microwave does not change the
features of the Ethernet services.

Service Transmission Mode
The Hybrid microwave defines different types of Hybrid microwave
frames for different working modes. The accessed E1 services and
Ethernet services are multiplexed into the same Hybrid microwave
frame, and then transmitted to the ODU through the IF interface
after IF coding and modulation. The E1 services and the Ethernet
services are transmitted to the remote end through the microwave
after the up-conversion.
The features of the Hybrid microwave frame are as follows:
The frames with a fixed period are used for transmission.
In the specific modulation mode or channel spacing, the length of
Hybrid microwave frames remains unchanged.
The E1 services in Hybrid microwave frames occupy a fixed bandwidth
(when N E1 services are transmitted, the bandwidth of N E1 services
is occupied). Thus, the Hybrid microwave does not change the
features of the E1 services during transmission.
In Hybrid microwave frames, the Ethernet services occupy the
remaining bandwidth of the E1 services. The encapsulation
adaptation processing of the Ethernet frames is performed, so the
Hybrid microwave does not change the features of the Ethernet
services during transmission.
The hybrid transmission of native E1 services and native Ethernet
services in the Hybrid microwave is supported.
This slide further clarifies how Huawei Hybrid Radio can increase
the TDM capacity by 15%. The graph shows the comparison between
legacy PDH/SDH Microwave and Huawei Hybrid radio. Besides, our
Hybrid Radio can be flexibly upgraded using software from 4E1 to
75E1 TDM traffic per carrier. This greatly increases the overall
performance of the Network.

If the radio link form is the Hybrid microwave, the maximum
capacity of each channel of microwave is 363 Mbit/s when the high
power ODU is used or 183 Mbit/s when the standard power ODU is
used. If the XPIC technology is used, the service capacity of the
microwave channel can be doubled with same the spectrum

Modulation Modes
The TDM microwave only supports fixed modulation. The Hybrid
microwave supports fixed modulation and adaptive modulation
(AM).
The fixed modulation refers to a modulation scheme wherein a
modulation scheme is adopted invariably when the radio link is
running. When the fixed modulation is adopted, the modulation
scheme can be configured through software. A modulation scheme can
range from QPSK to 256QAM.
The AM is a technology through which the modulation scheme can be
adjusted automatically according to the channel quality. When the
AM is adopted, the lowest modulation mode (also called reference
mode) and highest modulation scheme (also called nominal mode) can
be configured through software.

AM Technology
Through the AM technology, the Hybrid microwave uses a
high-efficiency modulation scheme when the channel is of better
quality. Hence, more user services can be transmitted and thus the
transmission efficiency and spectrum utilization are improved. When
the quality of the channel is degraded, the Hybrid microwave uses
the low-efficiency modulation scheme, in which only the services of
a high priority are transmitted. Hence, the anti-interference
capability of links is enhanced and availability of the links on
which the high-priority services are transmitted is ensured.
E1 services are of the highest priority in the AM-based Hybrid
microwave transmission. Ethernet services are classified into flows
of different priorities based on the CoS technology. When the
Hybrid microwave uses the lowest-efficiency modulation scheme, the
equipment transmits E1 services only (if the service bandwidth is
higher than the total bandwidth of the E1 services, the Ethernet
services of a high priority can be transmitted). When the Hybrid
microwave uses other modulation schemes, the increased bandwidth
can be used to transmit Ethernet services. In this case,
availability of the links on which the E1 services and Ethernet
services of a high priority are transmitted can be ensured and the
capacity for transmitting Ethernet services increases.
When the Hybrid microwave uses the lowest-gain modulation scheme,
the equipment transmits only E1 services. (If the service bandwidth
is higher than the bandwidth of the E1 services, the Ethernet
services with higher priorities can also be transmitted.) When the
Hybrid microwave uses another modulation scheme, the increased
bandwidth is used to transmit Ethernet services.
The preceding figure shows the transmission mode of the Hybrid
microwave. The part in orange indicates E1 services. The part in
blue indicates Ethernet services. In addition, the part in blue
that is close to the edge indicates the Ethernet services with
lower priorities. In a certain channel condition, the E1 services
(the part in orange) occupy the fixed bandwidth, thus ensuring the
availability of the E1 services. The bandwidth of the Ethernet
services (the part in blue) changes with the channel condition.
When the channel quality is poor, the Ethernet services with lower
priorities are discarded. When the Hybrid microwave transmits only
Ethernet services, the bandwidth occupied by E1 services is
preempted by the Ethernet services with higher priorities.

AM Implementation
Before switching
When the SNR value received at the receive end is lower than the
threshold, the receive end transmits quality degradation indication
signals to the AM engine.
The AM engine at the receive end places switching indication
signals to the overheads of a Hybrid microwave frame. The switching
indication signals are transmitted to the local end through the
transmit path.
The IF unit at the transmit end processes IF signals, and transmits
the switching indication signals of the AM to the AM engine.
The AM engine transmits the switching indication signals to the
service signal processing unit and the IF signal modulation unit,
indicating that the service signal processing unit and the IF
signal modulation unit complete the switching of service frames and
the change of modulation schemes after frame N.
After the modulation scheme changes, the bandwidth of E1 services
does not change. The Ethernet services with higher priorities are
multiplexed into microwave frames based on the QoS. Thus, the
remaining bandwidth of the microwave frames is used to transmit the
Ethernet services with lower priorities.
Due to the switching to the low modulation scheme, the bandwidth of
the Ethernet services that are multiplexed into the multiplex unit
becomes low, and the bandwidth of the Hybrid microwave frames also
becomes low.
After switching
The AM engine is the core for controlling AM switching. On one
hand, the local AM engine communicates with the remote AM engine
through the information path provided by microwave links so that
the signal quality information at the receive end is transmitted to
the transmit end. On the other hand, the local AM engine determines
the next modulation mode attribute for the AM switching by
analyzing the current link quality. When the modulation mode
switching is required, the AM engine provides AM switching
indication signals to the signal transmission path.

Detected SNR Increased
Prepare to Switch to 64QAM
The AM technology can use the QPSK, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM,
and 256QAM modulation schemes.
The lowest modulation scheme (also called reference mode) and
highest modulation scheme (also called nominal mode) can be
configured.
When the modulation schemes of the AM are switched, the transmit
frequency, receive frequency, and channel spacing do not
change.
When the AM modulation scheme is switched, the step by step mode is
adopted.
When the AM switches the modulation scheme, the services with a low
priority are discarded but no bit errors or slips occur in the
services with a high priority. The speed of switching the
modulation scheme meets the requirement for no bit error in the
case of 100 dB/s fast fading.

This slide further shows how the modulation of the link changes
with the change in weather. As you can see during good weather
condition, the link is in a state of 64 QAM and link capacity is
150 Mbit/s; As the weather gets worse, the receiver detects the
decrease in SNR (signal to noise ratio) and sends this message to
the transmitter to lower the modulation scheme. The switch in
modulation depends on predefined threshold of air link SNR. Then
the modulation scheme is switched to 32 QAM in transmitter and
receiver simultaneously. The link capacity also decreases to 100
Mbit/s. Once the weather gets better the modulation scheme switches
back to 64 QAM. The modulation message between the transmitter and
the receiver ensures the hitless switching.

Product Package
Features
The OptiX RTN 900 V100R002 is a new-generation hybrid/TDM MW
transmission product developed by Huawei on the basis of the
universal platform that integrates TDM, Hybrid, and Packet. This
product supports features such as AM, synchronous Ethernet,
Ethernet ring, and air interface LAG. Huawei is the only supplier
that provides the MW transmission product integrating TDM, Hybrid,
and Packet in the industry. Smooth evolution: The universal
platform supports the smooth evolution of TDM -> Hybrid ->
Pure Packet. Hybrid ring protection: Hybrid ring protection is
implemented by jointly using the E1 SNCP and Ethernet ring
protection switching (ERPS). The E1 SNCP and ERPS are independent
of each other. XPIC: When the XPIC and CCDP technologies are used,
the transmitter transmits two electromagnetic waves whose
polarization directions are orthogonal to each other to the
receiver over the same channel. The receiver recovers the original
two channels of signals after eliminating the interference between
the two electromagnetic waves through the XPIC technology. In this
manner, the transmission capacity is doubled.

. Eight QoS levels: Each Ethernet port supports eight levels of
priority queue scheduling, that is, eight standard PHBs: BE, AF1,
AF2, AF3, AF4, EF, CS6, and CS7. Modulation scheme: QPSK-256QAM (7
MHz to 56 MHz). It supports two modulation modes: fixed modulation
and adaptive modulation (AM). AM dynamically works with QoS to
ensure fine service quality. Synchronous Ethernet: compliant with
ITU-T G.8261, 8262, and 8264. The locked state is accurate to be
smaller than 50 ppb, which meets the requirement. Dynamic or static
MW routing configuration of E2E OAM&P and E2E enhances the
flexibility of MW networks and reduces the cost for maintenance.
Network-level protection schemes such as ERPS and MSTP are
supported. The OptiX RTN 910 is built in with a packet processing
platform with an exchange capacity of 4.2 Gbit/s. The OptiX RTN 950

E-Line Service
The E-Line service is a point-to-point service form on the
topology. The equipment transmits the packets or VLAN packets on a
specified port on the user side to a port on the user side or
network side or to the QinQ link on the network side, thus
implementing point-to-point transparent transmission of user
data.
According to transmission modes, E-Line services are classified
into the following types:
(1) UNI-UNI Ethernet service
(3) UNI-NNI Ethernet service carried on a QinQ link
Copyright © 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights

E-LAN Service
The E-LAN service is a multipoint-to-multipoint service form on the
topology. The equipment forwards packets or VLAN packets on a
specified port from the user side to multiple ports or to a PW or
QinQ link on the network side, thus implementing
multipoint-to-multipoint transparent transmission of user
data.
On the network side, the Ethernet services can be transmitted on a
port or QinQ link.
The QinQ link bearer means that an S-VLAN tag of the transport
network is added to packets with the C-VLAN tag on the network of
the user side, and thus the packets are labeled with two VLAN tags
when traversing the transport network.
This provides a simple L2VPN tunnel for users. With regard to the
services carried on a QinQ link, the QoS can be ensured by
configuring the QinQ policy.

Activate a protection link and perform ring protection
switching
Ethernet ring protection switching (ERPS) is applicable to ring
physical networks. The ERPS protects the E-LAN services between
various nodes on the ring. After a ring network adopts Ethernet
ring protection, normally, the owner node blocks the port on one
side on the ring to transmit services on the port of the other
side, thus preventing service loops. When a link or an NE on the
ring is faulty, the owner node unblocks its upstream port to
transmit services on the faulty link or NE, thus implementing ring
network protection.
Values of the ERPS
Ring Protection Link
1. Select the shortest path from the service channels between
microwave stations on the ring.
2. Specify a ring protection link that projects any microwave link

3. Any faulty microwave link on the ring can activate the ring
protection link.
4. A link fault on the ring can be rectified through automatic or
manual switching.
Scenario Description
1. The service type must be E-LAN.
2. The ring protection link and the owner node on the ring are

License Strategy for the OptiX RTN 900
Quotation rules for TDM MW 4E1 licenses
Quote the licenses expressed in 4E1s towards the intermediate
frequency (IF). The corresponding IF board is the IF1, which is
used as a quotation subitem of the IF board. Note: The E1/STM1
license for the OptiX RTN 600 is quoted according to NEs. The
license strategy for the OptiX RTN 900 has been changed.
When licenses are expressed in 4E1s, if there are N (number) 4E1s
in a direction, N (number) 4E1 licenses should be quoted for the
direction.
The two IF boards should be configured with 1+1
configuration.
The license strategy for the OptiX RTN 600 is that one piece of
equipment is allocated with one 4E1 license for free. The licenses
are automatically allocated by using the Quoter software. Note that
the license strategy for the OptiX RTN 900 has been changed. The
licenses are no longer allocated for free. The licenses are
automatically allocated upon charge by using the Quoter
software.
Quote the licenses towards the IF. The corresponding IF board is
the IF1, which is used as a quotation subitem of the IF
board.
When licenses are expressed in STM-1s, if there are N (number)
STM-1s in a direction, N (number) STM-1 licenses should be quoted
for the direction.
The two IF boards should be configured with 1+1
configuration.
Quotation rules for TDM MW STM-1 licenses
Quotation rules for link transmission licenses for Hybrid MW air
interface capacities
Quote the licenses towards the IF. The corresponding IF board is
the IFU2/IFX2, which is used as a quotation subitem of the
board.
For easy management of the network-wide MW capacity, the Link
license specifications are normalized and classified into eight
levels: 10M, 20M, 50M, 100M, 150M, 200M, 300M, and 400M. When
quoting, quote the closest higher capacity. For example, if the
customer requires the 160M capacity, quote a 200M license. Do not
quote the 160M capacity with the sum of 10M plus 150M.
The two IF boards should be configured with 1+1
configuration.
E1 service calculation method: 4E1 is equivalent to 8M. For
example, 16E1 = 4*(4E1), which is equivalent to 32M, and thus a 50M
license should be quoted.
Charge for capacity expansion: The fee for the original capacity
should be excluded. When preparing a bill of quotation (BOQ), quote
the after-expansion capacity license to facilitate license delivery
and project implementation. For example, the equipment on the
existing network has a 20M license. The customer needs to expand
the capacity of the equipment to 50M. In this case, quote 3*10M
licenses. Note that the license delivered with the BOQ should still
be a 50M license to ensure the license delivery for the expansion
project. In addition, all factors regarding capacity expansion
should be considered as a whole, such as the antenna size and link
reserve.
Quote the licenses towards the IF. The corresponding IF board is
the IFU2/IFX2, which is used as a quotation subitem of the
board.

Interconnection of IF Boards
Air interface interconnection between the OptiX RTN 900 V100R002
and the OptiX RTN 600 V100R003
Air interface interconnection between the OptiX RTN 900 V100R002
and the OptiX RTN 900 V100R001
The IFU2 can be interconnected with the IFE2 only in the case of
pure Ethernet services. When E1 services are transmitted with
Ethernet services on the IFU2, the IFU2 cannot be interconnected
with the IFE2.
The IF1 of the OptiX RTN 900 V100R002 works in 128QAM/28 MHz mode
and can be interconnected with the IFX of the OptiX RTN 600
V100R003.
The overall principles for air-interface interconnection are as
follows: Boards with the same name can be interconnected. Hybrid IF
boards can be interconnected. TDM IF boards can be interconnected.
Hybrid IF boards can be interconnected with packet IF boards when
transmitting pure Ethernet services.
