Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiTrunk Microwave

A new generation radio for trunk applications

Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiTrunk Microwave is a digital microwave communication system based on SDH and IP specifications, tailored for smooth, carrier-by-carrier, SW definable migration from legacy SDH networks to Hybrid SDH+IP and to All-IP target scenario without HW change, and conforming to international communications standards such as ITU-T, ITU-R and ETSI. The system can support the full range of radio frequency bands recommended by ITU-R (4G, 5G, L6G, U6G, 7G, 8G, 11G, 13G) and frequency spacing of 28 MHz, 29 MHz, 29.65 MHz, 30 MHz, 40 MHz and 56-58-59.3-60 MHz.
High compactness and flexibility make FlexiTrunk Microwave the right choice for high capacity telecommunication scenarios where quick deployment, fast rollout with high reliability are a must.

System Architecture
All BB, IF, RF sections of the system are integrated in a single compact Flexi-shelf, housing up to 16 transceiver units in one ETSI rack 1800mm high or 2200mm high, as preferred. Flexi-shelf is basically a universal sub-rack configurable as single terminal or double terminal East/ West, ACAP, ACCP or CCDP, even supporting multi-band and cross band. The traffic interface can be chosen STM-1 electrical, optical (SFP module), STM-4 or GigaEthernet (SFP module). The GigaEthernet interface implements a SynchE device supporting external E1 clock, line and radio side clock extraction, holdover and free-running modes. The GigaEthernet interface integrates a Layer-2 Ethernet switch implementing carrier-grade adaptive load balancing of data traffic over NxRFcarriers. RSTP, LAG, QoS, VLAN handling, QinQ and other Ethernet features are upgradeable on the L2-switch by SW license, and in full compliance with IP/MPLS scenarios (.1p, DSCP/DiffServ, MPLS EXP supported). Mixed scenario with TDM and GEth interfaces in the same terminal is supported, and in this case the protection channel of the TDM section is used as container for the GEth traffic during normal operation, thus providing best in class spectrum efficiency. The system is supervised by an SNMP/IP controller having embedded WebLT functionality

System Overview
Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiTrunk Microwave system processes native TDM and native IP signals transporting them over the air without any type of ETHoverTDM nor TDMoverETH mapping. The same HW transceiver can be selected by SW as native TDM or native IP device, and applies flexible QAM technology (4QAM to 512QAM with adaptive modulation) with LDPC coding to get best throughput and optimum performances and efficiency. The system supports, with same HW transceiver SW upgradeable, both alternated pattern and co-channel operation with XPIC equalization, thus doubling spectrum efficiency, eventually with Space Diversity. ACAP, ACCP and CCDP channeling schemes are supported at all bands. Also, power boost can be upgraded via SW to increase TX power up to +35dBm. 20 dB range continuous ATPC and 1 dB step RTPC/MTPC are available to fine-tune TX power to minimize the power consumption down to 80W/carrier.

Protection Schemes
N+1 Radio Protection Switching (RPS) up to 15+1 is implemented on the radio side using single controller card. Also 2x(N+1) configuration can be implemented in the same Flexi-shelf, as either 2x(N+1) single direction or double direction (E/W repeater), using same universal MCF/controller card. Hitless switching with very early warning detection and multiple switching criteria is implemented against propagation impairments such as multipath fading. The RPS ensures redundancy of the main signals, Wayside and auxiliary signals. Line side, (1+1) multiplex section protection is implemented for the STM-1 interface as option, while line LAG and RSTP protection are available for GigaEthernet interface.

accessible via standard HTTP browser. Each transceiver unit includes all MODEM functions, IF and RF parts according to single board concept for maintenance optimization. Wide band tunability of the RF section (half band for 4 to 8 GHz, quarter band for 11-13 GHz bands) allows minimal spares need (just two units for each band from 4 to 8 GHz, 4 units for 11 GHz and for 13 GHz). The use of plug-in RF filters allows fast branching modification for system expansion and/or configuration upgrade. An expansion of capacity or an upgrade to space diversity are easy operations which can be properly done without any traffic interruption by acting on the plug-in branching filters.

Advanced features:
Smooth migration from legacy SDH to partly SDH and
partly IP and also to full-IP via SW setting on the same HW (same backplane, same controller, same transceivers) Best in class compactness (16 channels in one ETSI rack, all in a row) Double Terminal single-rack (up to 8xWG node in a rack) Full digital self-commissioning Wide band tunability for maintenance optimization Adaptive modulation up to 512QAM w. LDPC coding, 1024QAM and beyond planned in future XPIC SW upgradeable and asynchronous, with 20dB gain High Power and extra boost up to +35dBm SW upgradeable ATPC and RTPC/MTPC 20dB range Diversity available: FD, RX SD, TX+RX SD, Hybrid SD 2x(1+1) HSBY co-channel supported in same Flexi-shelf Multi-baseband interface: STM-1 electrical, STM-1 optical, STM-4 and GigaEthernet can co-exist in the same terminal GigaEthernet interface supported with NxRFcarriers mapping and adaptive load balancing (L1 byte-by-byte radio bonding) Fully outdoor version available up to 3+1/4+0 or even up to 8+0 for site cost optimization

Network Management
Microwave Management System Nokia Siemens Networks NetViewer supports FlexiTrunk Microwave system. An overall view of the complete network structure and its ability to enter down to the Network Element details give a clear picture of the whole network, its configuration and events. Fault, Configuration and Performance management are carried out at Network Element level; at Network level, Fault and Security configuration are available. On-click XML file is supported for Performance Management and the relevant information can be stored in the NetViewer database, together with events and alarm log.
