Technical Description Version 2.0 May 2008

Alcatel-Lucent 9500 Microwave Packet radio (MPR) is a solution

for smooth transformation of backhaul networks from TDM to IP.
The 9500 MPR solution efficiently transports multimedia traffic
since it handles packets natively while still supporting legacy
TDM. It also provides the quality of service needed to satisfy
end-users. This solution improves packet aggregation, increases
bandwidth and optimizes Ethernet connectivity.
 1 Introduction

Alcatel-Lucent with its innovation of Microwave Packet radio has introduced for the first time a
Native packet microwave capable to be deployed on TDM network today and have already all
the required potentiality to move to a full packet network

9500 MPR in fact is a packet-based solution designed to address in native way networks where
packet based traffic is predominant, nevertheless supporting the still present TDM/ATM traffic,
which remains vital.

As capacity grows in the access the requirement for higher bandwidth support will be needed in
the backhaul as well as in the metro network. Alcatel-Lucent target to address metro networks
requirement with an MPLS based solution combined with microwave packet transport. The
result in the long run is a change in the backhaul from PDH links to carrier Ethernet and in the
Metro from SDH to carrier Ethernet MPLS packet rings, and eventually to mesh networks.

 2 Alcatel Lucent 9500 MPR solution

9500 MPR represents the solution to allow smooth migration from the TDM world to the packet
domain in the Mobile Backhauling networks.

Exploiting the benefits of packet architecture vs. circuit architecture (Multiservice aggregation,
Service awareness, adaptive packet transport) in accommodating broadband services, 9500 MPR
allows the access equipment to evolve in line with the new technology and related protocols
(ATM/TDM/Ethernet) without the need of renewal of an existing microwave site and protecting
the already made investments.

9500 MPR is based on two separate elements: the MSS, an indoor service switch that also
operates as a stand alone aggregator and the Universal ODU as outdoor microwave packet
transport.

2.1 What is the Product?

The 9500 MPR Node supports up to 6 RF links for operation on the same or different frequency
bands using the 8-slot MSS (MSS-8). The ODU for each link is connected to a plug-in Radio
Access card inside the aggregator. According to the last official Alcatel-Lucent equipment
roadmap, other plug-in provide line interface access, management, and auxiliary services. Line
interface options extend from TDM to ATM, IP, and auxiliary data. 9500 MPR Node supports a
mix of non-protected and protected or diversity operation for single link, repeater or star radio
configurations.

3
9500 MPR together with all other Microwave and Optical transmission Network Elements is fully
integrated into 1350 OMS Network Management System providing all the tools required
operating the network. 9500MPR will be also managed by the 5620 SAM broadband manager
shared with the Alcatel-Lucents IP product portfolios to provide full management and
provision of the network at service level.

9500 MPR also offers an innovative Software tool (TCO SW Suite) designed to dramatically
reduce the complexity of Installation and Commissioning operations, reducing the associated
effort and the skills of the involved people, with a direct consequence benefit on the Total
Cost of Ownership of 9500 MPR product.

 With the TCO SW Suite, the Installation & Commissioning process is carried out in 2 steps:

Preparation of the NE configuration in back office (pre-provisioning);

On-site I&C with the application of the configuration prepared beforehand.

The use of TCO tools (pre-provisioning tool) and embedded Web server allows saving time and
money in the Installation & Commissioning phase, for the following reasons:

Less skilled people are required on site. The person(s) that has (have) detailed equipment and
radio knowledge can work in back office and concentrate on the configuration of NEs without
loosing time in traveling from site to site.

In the pre-provisioning tool, it is possible to use an existing provisioning file as template for the
creation of further configurations on other NEs. This allows a much quicker and less error prone
provisioning.

4.1 System Component

Two separate units build 9500 MPR in the split mount architecture:

MSS: Indoor Unit for split-mount and stand alone configurations (Ethernet uplink)
ODU V2: universal Outdoor Unit for microwave uplink

It implements functionalities of grooming, routing, switching and protection, exploiting a

packet-oriented technology. It is a modular design through a variety of hot-swappable plug in
cards.
The MSS available is 2RU shelf to supports up to 6 ODU with traffic routed internally to
eliminate external tributary cable and patch panels.

The core platform, with multiplexing & symmetrical x-connection functions, is able to manage
different radio directions, with the possibility to add-drop tributaries in case of local
PDH/Ethernet accesses. Core platform is based on packet technology (Ethernet Switch) with a
generic interface serial 10 x GETH between Core and peripherals.

The figure below illustrates platform support for:

ODU
Support of ODU V2
ODU V2: QPSK to 256 QAM - 6 to 38 GHz

9500 MPR receives the Battery input through 2 power connectors mounted on the chassis and
connected directly to the Back plane.
Each board receives the Battery input (via Back plane) and provides adaptation to the customer
central power bus.

ODU V2

The ODU V2 supports capacities from 4xE1 to 136xE1 (9 to 305 Mbps) and modulation rates
QPSK, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64 QAM and 128 QAM without hardware change.
The ODU will support also the new modem profile that will be implemented in next releases. So
it makes full capacity migration possible without the need to climb towers.
ODU V2 is available for all licensed frequency bands from 6 to 38 GHz and is for use with the
MSS.

ODU V2 connects to the MSS via a single 50 coaxial cable, which carries transmit and receive
IF signals, telemetry overheads, internal controls and ODU DC power.

ODU in configuration 1+0

The equipment can support the following radio configuration:

1+0

1+1 HSB

1+1 HSB space diversity

1+1 FD

Hitless receive switching is provided for hot standby and diversity.

Two ODU, each with its own antenna are requested for space diversity.
A direct-mount coupler combines two ODU onto a single antenna to support hot standby and
frequency diversity.
The coupler is available with an unequal 6/1.5 dB or with an equal 3/3 dB split. Space and
frequency diversity can be combined to provide hybrid diversity.
The ODUs and antennas are the same used on 9500 MXC product

Both cards are able to support adaptive modulation feature: it means to adjust adaptively the
modulation and/or the channel coding format as well as a range of other system parameters)
based on the near-instantaneous channel quality information perceived by the receiver, which
is fed back to the transmitter with the aid of a feedback channel.

MPR is able to change the modulation error-less and to add/remove capacity from best
effort services irrespective of physical interface from where they arrive.

13
Fan Unit
The Fan module holds three fans. To have high reliability 3 fans are used with separate alarms
in order to understand the urgency (two or three fans failed) or the not urgency condition (one
fan failed).

4.2 Antenna Mount

ODU is attached to its antenna by a direct-mount collar, which includes a built-in rotator for
selection of vertical or horizontal polarization. For single antenna protected, frequency
diversity and 2+0 operation, a direct-mount antenna coupler for two ODU is available.
A full range of direct-mount antennas is offered with diameters from 0.2m to 1.8m. Remote-
mount antenna kits are available for use with standard antennas of any diameter.
As an aid to antenna alignment, the ODU includes receive signal level (RSL) access via a capped
BNC connector.

All specifications are referenced to the ODU antenna flange, and are typical values unless otherwise stated, and are subject to change
without notice.
For Guaranteed values (over time and operational range) subtract 2 dB from Power Output, add 2dB to Threshold values, and subtract 4dB
from System Gain values.
[1] System Gain & Rx Threshold values are for BER=10-6. Values for BER=10-3 are improved by 1dB.
