1.1 Equipment Model

The split RTN 320 model is full-outdoor radio transmission equipment.
The split RTN 320 consists of an outdoor access unit (OAU) 2A and two ODUs. The OAU 2A
provides two IF ports, with each IF port connected to an ODU using an IF cable. In this manner,
two microwave links are available. See Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Split RTN 320
The OAU 2A provides such functions as service access, multiplexing, IF processing, and system
control and communication. An ODU performs frequency conversion and power amplification
for signals. The RTN 320 uses RTN XMC ODUs, which cover the entire frequency band from

6 GHz to 42 GHz. For details about RTN XMC ODUs, see RTN XMC ODU Hardware
Description.
The split RTN 320 makes full use of existing RTN XMC ODUs, achieving zero footprint
installation.
NOTE
Unless otherwise specified, the RTN 320 mentioned in this document refers to the split RTN 320.
1.2 Positioning
The RTN 320 is radio transmission equipment that provides transmission solutions for both
mobile communication networks and private networks.
The split RTN 320 is full-outdoor radio transmission equipment that can be mounted on a pole,
thereby achieving zero footprint in terms of installation space. The RTN 320 works with two
ODUs to support two microwave directions. The RTN 320 helps lower network construction
costs and operating expenses.
The RTN 320 supports flexible networking. RTN 320s can form ring or chain backhaul networks
for IP base stations.
The RTN 320 supports 4096QAM, 112 MHz channel spacing, XPIC, PLA/EPLA, and 1+1 HSB/
FD/SD. With such capabilities, the RTN 320 provides high-bandwidth backhaul links for high-
capacity 3G/LTE base stations.
On mobile communication networks, the RTN 320 can:

l Operate independently to form ring or chain backhaul networks to provide links with high
capacity, bandwidth, and reliability for 3G/LTE base stations. See Figure 1-2.
l Work with the ATN to provide a microwave channel solution for transparent transmission
on the IP radio access network (IP RAN). See Figure 1-3.
l Replace an existing OptiX RTN 900 IDU when the OptiX RTN 900 IDU needs to be moved
outdoors. See Figure 1-4.

1.4 Site Configurations

An RTN 320 provides two microwave channels. An RTN 320 can independently provide a 1+0,
2+0, XPIC, 1+1, or multi-direction site. RTN 320s can be cascaded to form a 3+0/4+0 site or
an XPIC site with 1+1 protection.
1.4.1 1+0 Site

A 1+0 site provides a microwave link in one direction.
At a 1+0 site, one single-polarized antenna is used. Depending on antenna specifications, an

ODU can be directly mounted on an antenna (direct mounting) or connected to an antenna using
accessories (split mounting). The ODU is connected to the OAU 2A using an IF cable. The

following figure uses direct mounting as an example to illustrate the typical configurations of a
1+0 site.
Figure 1-5 Typical configurations of a 1+0 site (direct mounting)
1.4.2 2+0 Site

A 2+0 site provides two microwave links in the same direction.
At a 2+0 site, the two RTN XMC ODUs of an RTN 320 are installed on the same hybrid coupler.
Depending on antenna specifications, the hybrid coupler can be directly mounted on an antenna
(direct mounting) or connected to an antenna using accessories (split mounting). Each ODU is
connected to the OAU 2A using an IF cable. The following figure uses direct mounting as an
example to illustrate the typical configurations of a 2+0 site.
Generally, physical link aggregation (PLA) or enhanced physical link aggregation (EPLA) is
configured for the RTN 320 at a 2+0 site.

Figure 1-6 Typical configurations of a 2+0 site (direct mounting)
1.4.3 1+1 Site

A 1+1 site provides a microwave link protection system that comprises one working link and
one protection link in the same direction. Depending on configurations, a 1+1 site can provide
1+1 hot standby (HSB), 1+1 frequency diversity (FD), or 1+1 space diversity (SD) protection
for its microwave links.
Two typical configurations are available for a 1+1 site:

l 1+1 site provided by an RTN 320 independently
l 1+1 site implemented by cascading RTN 320s (working with XPIC, only 1+1 HSB
supported)
This section describes only a 1+1 site provided by an RTN 320 independently. For the description
of a 1+1 site implemented by cascading RTN 320s, see 1.4.5 XPIC Site with 1+1 Protection.
Figure 1-7 illustrates the typical configurations of a 1+1 HSB site (direct mounting).

Figure 1-7 Typical configurations of a 1+1 site
In this example, the RTN 320 provides protection for one channel of GE optical/electrical
service. In applications, the RTN 320 can provide protection for multiple channels of GE optical/
electrical services. These services are synchronously switched between the main and standby
channels based on the channel status.
1.4.4 XPIC Site

An XPIC site is a special 2+0 site. The two microwave links provided by an XPIC site operate
at the same frequency, but their polarization directions are orthogonal. The XPIC function
cancels cross polarization interference between the two microwave links.
A dual-polarized antenna is required at an XPIC site. If an antenna with a diameter less than or
equal to 1.8 m is used, the two ODUs of an RTN 320 are installed on the same orthogonal mode
transducer (OMT). The OMT is directly mounted on the antenna. If an antenna with a diameter
greater than 1.8 m is used, the two ODUs are connected to the antenna using accessories (split
mounting). Each ODU is connected to the OAU 2A using an IF cable. The following figure uses
direct mounting as an example to illustrate the typical configurations of an XPIC site.

Generally, PLA or EPLA is configured for the RTN 320 at an XPIC site. In this manner, two
microwave links are aggregated to form a high-bandwidth logical Ethernet channel, and load
sharing or protection is implemented for the microwave links.
Figure 1-8 Typical configurations of an XPIC site (direct mounting)
1.4.5 XPIC Site with 1+1 Protection

An XPIC site with 1+1 protection provides XPIC-enabled microwave links with 1+1 HSB
protection to achieve protection for microwave links in two polarization directions.
At an XPIC site with 1+1 protection, XPIC is configured within each RTN 320. A 1+1 HSB
protection group is configured in each polarization direction by cascading RTN 320s. The ODUs
in each 1+1 HSB protection group are installed on the same hybrid coupler. The hybrid couplers
in two polarization directions are connected to a dual-polarized antenna using accessories (split
mounting).
Generally, PLA or EPLA is configured for the RTN 320s. In this manner, two microwave links
are aggregated to form a high-bandwidth logical Ethernet channel, and load sharing or protection
is implemented for the microwave links.

Two service access modes are available for an XPIC site with 1+1 protection: optical splitter
mode and LAG mode.
Optical Splitter Mode

An optical splitter is used to split one channel of optical signals into multiple channels. An optical
splitter receives GE optical signals, splits them into two channels, and transmits one channel to
the main RTN 320 and the other channel to the standby RTN 320. A GE cable is used as a 1+1
cascade cable to connect GE ports of the main and standby RTN 320s. The main and standby
RTN 320s exchange protection protocol and DCN information over the 1+1 cascade cable. See
Figure 1-9.
Figure 1-9 XPIC site with 1+1 protection (optical splitter mode)
LAG Mode
Two RTN 320s configured with XPIC can work with an OptiX RTN 900 or an LACP-supporting
UNI-side device to implement 1+1 protection, which improves the reliability of microwave links

in each polarization direction. A GE cable is used as a 1+1 cascade cable to connect GE ports
of the main and standby RTN 320s. The main and standby RTN 320s exchange protection
protocol and DCN information over the 1+1 cascade cable. See Figure 1-10.
Figure 1-10 XPIC site with 1+1 protection (LAG mode)
1.4.6 3+0/4+0 Site

A 3+0/4+0 site provides three or four microwave links in the same direction.
Through the cascade EPLA, the RTN 320 can provide three or four microwave links in the same
direction. These microwave links are aggregated to form a high-bandwidth logical Ethernet
channel, and load sharing or protection is implemented for the microwave links. At a 3+0/4+0
site, three or four frequencies are usually required. If XPIC is used, only two frequencies are

required. An OAU 2A is connected to two ODUs using IF cables. The ODUs in each polarization
direction are installed on the same hybrid coupler. The hybrid couplers in two polarization
directions are connected to a dual-polarized antenna using accessories (split mounting).
Three service access modes are available for a 3+0/4+0 site: single NE-based access mode,
optical splitter mode, and LAG mode.
Single NE-based Access Mode

In this mode, the main RTN 320 receives/transmits services. This mode provides protection for
microwave links but not for equipment. See Figure 1-11.
Figure 1-11 3+0/4+0 site (single NE-based access mode)
A 3+0/4+0 site uses three or four frequencies without XPIC enabled and two frequencies with
XPIC enabled. In this example, four frequencies are used. If XPIC is enabled, ODU (1) connects
to an IF port on OAU 2A (2), and ODU (3) connects to an IF port on OAU 2A (2). Connections
in optical splitter mode and LAG mode are the same as those in single NE-based access mode.

Optical Splitter Mode

In this mode, an optical splitter receives GE optical signals, splits them into two channels, and
transmits one channel to the main RTN 320 and the other channel to the standby RTN 320. This
mode provides protection for microwave links and equipment. In normal cases, the service
optical port of the standby RTN 320 does not transmit optical signals. If the main RTN 320 fails,
the standby RTN 320 activates its optical port for service access. See Figure 1-12.
Figure 1-12 3+0/4+0 site (optical splitter mode)
LAG Mode
In this mode, an OptiX RTN 900 IDU or LACP-supporting UNI-side device provides service
access and is configured with a static LAG. The static LAG and the E-LAG configured on the
main and standby RTN 320s can cooperate to implement protection switching for both
equipment and access links. See Figure 1-13.

Figure 1-13 3+0/4+0 site (LAG mode)
1.4.7 Multi-direction Site

A multi-direction site provides multiple microwave links in the same direction. The RTN 320
can provide microwave links in two directions, so it can support 2x(1+0) sites.
At a 2x(1+0) site, a single-polarized antenna is used. Depending on antenna specifications, an

ODU can be directly mounted on an antenna (direct mounting) or connected to an antenna using
accessories (split mounting). The ODU is connected to the OAU 2A using an IF cable. The
following figure uses direct mounting as an example to illustrate the typical configurations of a
2x(1+0) site.

end-to-end TP-Assist.

OptiX RTN 320 reduces the amount of energy consumed by using:
2.13 Environmental Protection

RTN 320 is designed to meet or exceed environmental protection requirements. The product
complies with restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) and waste from electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE) directives.

2.1 Adaptive Modulation

Adaptive modulation (AM) technology automatically adjusts the modulation scheme based on
channel quality.
Modulation Scheme and Air-interface Capacity

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.
l When 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.
l When 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.
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 2-1 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 Strong and the modulation scheme of
full AM capacity is 256QAM.

Characteristics
The AM technology used by OptiX RTN 320 has the following characteristics:
l Supports the superhigh-order modulation schemes 2048QAM and 4096QAM in addition

to the normal modulation schemes from QPSK Strong to 1024QAM Light. The difference
between strong/light modulation schemes and normal modulation schemes lies in FEC
encoding parameter settings. Strong modulation schemes have stronger error correction
capabilities, which mean higher receiver sensitivity but lower air interface bandwidth. Light
modulation schemes have poorer error correction capabilities, which mean lower receiver
sensitivity but higher air interface bandwidth.
l Can 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).
l Can switch modulation schemes without changing the transmit frequency, receive
frequency, or channel spacing.
l Switches modulation schemes step-by-step.

l Features 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.
2.2 Cross-Polarization Interference Cancellation

Cross-polarization interference cancellation (XPIC) technology is used with co-channel dual-
polarization (CCDP) to double the microwave link capacity over the same channel.
CCDP transmission uses a horizontally polarized wave and a vertically polarized wave on a
single channel to transmit two channels of signals. Ideally, for CCDP transmission, there should
be no interference between the two orthogonal signals, even though they are of the same
frequency. In actual practice, despite the orthogonal nature of the two signals, interference
between the signals inevitably occurs due to cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) of the
antenna and channel degradation. To eliminate this interference, XPIC technology is used to
receive signals horizontally and vertically. The signals in the two directions are then processed
and the original signals are recovered from interfered signals. Figure 2-2 shows the functional
block diagram of a scenario where XPIC is used with CCDP.

The RTN 320 provides two microwave links. XPIC can be configured within the RTN 320. The
two IF units in the RTN 320 exchange XPIC signals.
2.3 Automatic Transmit Power Control

Automatic transmit power control (ATPC) is a method that uses received signal level (RSL) of
the receiver to adjust transmit power within the ATPC control range. This feature reduces
interference to neighboring systems and residual bit error rate (BER).
When ATPC is enabled:

l If the RSL is 2 dB or more than 2 dB less than the value halfway between the upper and
lower ATPC thresholds, the receiver instructs the transmitter to increase transmit power so
that the RSL does not deviate more than 2 dB from the halfway value.

l If the RSL is 2 dB or more than 2 dB greater than the value halfway between the upper and
lower ATPC thresholds, the receiver instructs the transmitter to reduce transmit power so
that the RSL does not deviate more than 2 dB from the halfway value.
Figure 2-3 shows the relationship between the RSL and the transmit signal level (TSL).

2.11 Security Management

RTN 320 works with its network management system (NMS) to prevent unauthorized logins
and operations, ensuring equipment management security.
Overview of Hardware Security

RTN 320 uses the following hardware security measures:
l Microwave ports: The forward error correction (FEC) encoding mode is adopted and the
adaptive time-domain equalizer for baseband signals is used. This enables the microwave
ports to withstand strong interference. An interceptor cannot restore the content in a data
frame if coding details and service configurations are not obtained.
l Modular design: Control units are separated from service units, and service units are
separated from each other. In this manner, a fault on any unit can be isolated, minimizing
the impact of the fault on other units in the system.
l CPU flow control: The data flow sent to the CPU for processing is classified and controlled
to prevent CPU resources from being exhausted by a large number of packets. This ensures
that the CPU operates properly under attacks.

l Management port control: The protective cover for the maintenance compartment is kept
closed when the management port is not being used, preventing unauthorized access.
Overview of Software Security

RTN 320 processes two types of data: O&M data and service data. The two types of data are
transmitted over independent paths and do not affect each other. This enables services running
on an RTN 320 to be processed on two planes:
l Management plane
The management plane provides access to the required equipment and management
functions, such as managing accounts and passwords, communication protocols, and alarm
reporting. Security features on the management plane implement secure access, integrated
security management, and all-round security audits.
l Data plane
The data plane processes the service data flow entering the equipment and forwards service
packets according to the forwarding table. Security features on the data plane ensure
confidentiality and integration of user data by preventing malicious theft, modification, and
removal of user service packets. These features ensure reliable data forwarding by
protecting forwarding entries against malicious attacks and falsification.

l Frame header compression disabled: untagged Ethernet frames with a length from 64 bytes to 9600
bytes
l L2 frame header compression enabled: untagged Ethernet frames with a length from 64 bytes to

l The difference between strong/light modulation schemes and normal modulation schemes lies in FEC
encoding parameters. Strong modulation schemes have stronger error correction capabilities, which
result in higher receiver sensitivity but lower air interface bandwidth. Light modulation schemes have
poorer error correction capabilities, which result in lower receiver sensitivity but higher air interface
bandwidth.

6.1.2 Channel Configuration

The OptiX RTN 320 supports three channel configuration modes: adjacent channel co-polarized
(ACCP), adjacent channel alternate polarization (ACAP), and co-channel dual polarization
(CCDP).
ACCP
ACCP allows signals to be transmitted over the electromagnetic waves in the same polarization
direction on two adjacent channels. See Figure 6-1.

ACAP
ACAP allows signals to be transmitted over the horizontally polarized electromagnetic wave
and vertically polarized electromagnetic wave on two adjacent channels. See Figure 6-2.

6.1.3 Receiver Sensitivity

Receiver sensitivity reflects the anti-fading capability of RTN 320. It varies with the IF running
mode.
6.1.3.1 Receiver Sensitivity (IS3 Mode) (ETSI)

This section lists the receiver sensitivity values supported by RTN 320 running in IS3 mode.
NOTE
Unless otherwise specified, the receiver sensitivity values in the table are valid when different types of
ODUs are used. However, the frequency bands and modulation schemes supported by different types of
ODUs are different.
N/A means that microwave working mode is not supported.
The guaranteed receiver sensitivity value is 3 dB less than the typical receiver sensitivity value.

7.2 USB Flash Drives

Configuring, replacing, and upgrading RTN 320s is simple with USB flash drives, which store
NE data and new software to be installed and are also used to back up configuration data.
Functions and Features

USB flash drives prepared for RTN 320s store NE software and configuration data (including
databases, system parameters, and scripts).
l Equipment software and scripts stored in USB flash drives are installed on RTN 320s for
deployment and commissioning. With this system, users do not need to configure data
onsite.
l Software, patch packages, NE databases, and system parameters are backed up to USB
flash drives. This avoids the need to reconfigure data when replacing a RTN 320.
l Software of target versions stored in USB flash drives is imported to RTN 320s.
l Security features:
– The administrator accounts and passwords (encrypted) in the RTN.CER or
RTNEXTRA.CER file are used to authenticate USB flash drives.
– Other files in USB flash drives can be encrypted.
– The validity of files in USB flash drives can be verified.
Application Scenario
l For deployment and commissioning of an RTN 320, scripts, and software are stored on a
USB flash drive. After the USB flash drive is plugged in and functioning, the RTN 320
downloads software, and scripts in sequence.
l For an upgrade or downgrade of an RTN 320, only the software of the target version is
stored on a USB flash drive. After the USB flash drive is plugged in and functioning, the

RTN 320 compares the versions of the running software and the software stored on the
USB flash drive. If the versions are not the same, the RTN 320 automatically downloads
the software from the USB flash drive for an upgrade or downgrade.
l During RTN 320 replacement, an empty USB flash drive is inserted into a faulty device,
which automatically backs up its data to the drive. After the faulty device is replaced, the
drive holding the backup data is inserted into the new device, which automatically
downloads the backup NE data, software, and system parameters and restores the NE data.
Data uploading
A USB flash drive contains the following folders:
NOTE
The USB flash drive partition format is FAT32.
l The root directory stores an RTN.CER/RTNEXTRA.CER file and a USBSEC.CFG file
(security policy file).
NOTE
l The RTN.CER/RTNEXTRA.CER file, which stores administrator-level account and password

information (with password information encrypted), is used for authenticating the USB flash
drive. The file is generated by a system administrator at the network management center (NMC)
using a dedicated tool.
l The USBSEC.CFG file stores the list of available files in the USB flash drive and the verification
information and encryption parameters of each file. When the files in the USB flash drive are
being loaded to an NE, the NE verifies and decrypts the files based on the USBSEC.CFG file.
If a file is not in the file list in the USBSEC.CFG file or a file fails to be verified or decrypted,
the file cannot be used by the NE.
l pkg: stores the NE software.
NOTICE
Data is saved in the \pkg folder only when the NE software is upgraded. Otherwise, keep
the folder empty.
l patch: stores the patch software.

l sysdata: stores system parameters.
l script: stores scripts.
l db: stores NE databases.
l license: stores a license.
NOTE
The license directory cannot be backed up or restored. It is usually empty.
l devicetype: stores device type parameters.
When a USB flash drive is connected to an RTN 320, the RTN 320 checks the folders on the
USB flash drive in the following order:
1. Checks for the RTN.CER or RTNEXTRA.CER file in the root directory. If the file exists,
the USB flash drive is authenticated. Otherwise, the USB flash drive fails to be identified.

2. Checks the USBSEC.CFG file in the root directory, and verifies the integrity of files in
the USB flash drive and decrypts the files based on the USBSEC.CFG file.
3. Checks the NE software folder pkg. If the NE software version is different from that of the
local RTN 320, the RTN 320 upgrades its software.
4. Checks the patch software folder patch. If the patch software version is different from that
of the local RTN 320, the RTN 320 loads the patch software from the folder.
5. Checks the system parameter folder sysdata. If the folder contains data, the RTN 320
imports system parameters from the folder.
6. Checks the script folder script. If the folder contains data, the RTN 320 imports script data
from the folder.
7. Checks the database folder db. If the folder contains data and the device type under
\Devicetype is the same as the NE device type, the RTN 320 loads the database from the
folder.
8. If any of the preceding folders contains no data or does not exist, the RTN 320 checks the
next folder. If the RTN 320 finds none of the preceding folders, it exports its data to the
USB flash drive.
Ensure that USB flash drives have only the preceding folders, as extra folders may lead to
malfunctions.
NOTE
A device reads data from a USB flash drive at different rates in different scenarios. The user can check
whether the device is reading data from a USB flash drive by observing the USB port or USB flash drive
indicator.
Types of USB Flash Drives

Table 7-3 lists the types of USB flash drives supported by RTN 320. Not all USB flash drives
are supported by RTN 320. If a USB flash drive of another model or capacity is required, confirm
with the local Huawei office that the USB flash drive is supported by RTN 320.

8.4 RTN 320 OAU 2A PGND Cables

PGND cables are connected to ground screws and outdoor ground points (such as ground points
on towers) so that RTN 320 OAU 2A is connected to the outdoor ground grid.

8.1 Outdoor Network Cables

Fitted with RJ45 connectors at both ends, outdoor network cables connect to Ethernet ports.
The GE electrical ports of PIs support the medium dependent interface (MDI), MDI crossover
(MDI-X), and auto-MDI/MDI-X modes. Straight-through cables and crossover cables can be
used to connect the NMS ports and GE electrical ports to MDIs or MDI-Xs. Straight-through
cables are recommended if network cables are made onsite.

NOTE
l Straight-through cables are used between MDIs and MDI-Xs, and crossover cables are used between
MDIs or between MDI-Xs. The only difference between straight-through cables and crossover cables
is with regard to their pin assignments.
l Either straight-through cables or crossover cables can be used to connect RTN 320 to common Ethernet
equipment since Ethernet electrical ports support the MDI, MDI-X, and auto-MDI/MDI-X modes.

Optical fibers for GE optical ports are available in 10 lengths, ranging from 10 meters to 150
meters. Generally, a 2-meter fiber is used to connect the cascading ports in a cascading 1+1
protection group or an EPLA group. You can use optical fibers of appropriate lengths if the
lengths cannot meet onsite requirements.
8.3 Power Cables

A power cable connects a power supply device and the RTN 320 OAU 2A and supplies -48 V
power to the RTN 320 OAU 2A.
Cable Diagram
A power cable is terminated with a tool-less connector with a puller at one end and is not
terminated at the other end. A terminal needs to be made for the other end onsite based on the
port requirements of the power distribution device. See the following figure.
