1.3 System Functions

For the system functions, refer to Table 1-1.
Table 1-1 Function List

Service Function Description
Type
Radio Adaptive Coding ACM is a technology that can automatically adjust the coding
and Modulation ( and modulation mode in accordance with channel quality. When
ACM) the channel quality is good, the ACM function improves system
transmission efficiency and spectrum utilization. When the channel
quality is deteriorated, the ACM function ensures the link reliability
of high-priority services.
Automatic The Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) function enables

Transmit Power the system to adjust the transmission power at the local end in
Control (ATPC) accordance with the receive power at the remote end. If the receive
SJ-20200606171511-010 | 2020-06-10 (R1.0) 1-3


Type
level at the remote end is not within the ATPC adjustment range,
the transmission power needs to be adjusted to enable the receive
power at the remote end to be within the adjustment range. If the
transmission power of ODU is adjusted to the threshold value
but the receive power at the remote end is not within the ATPC
adjustment range, the transmission power does not need to be
adjusted.
This function reduces the transmitter's interference on neighboring
systems and the transmitter's residual error rate.
XPIC Due to limited antenna isolation, multi-path effect, or signal

attenuation caused by rain, the XPIC function is applied at the
receiving end to eliminate the interference generated between
cross-polarized signals on the same frequency carrier and improve
system immunity.
XPIC-MIMO Two ZXMW NR8961 devices work at the same frequency point.
Two RF channels in each ZXMW NR8961 are configured in a
CCDP group. Each one of the two ZXMW NR8961 devices is
connected to an antenna and implements MIMO configuration.
In such configuration, the transmission capacity has a fourfold rise.
Ethernet With this function, the contents that are unchanged but repeatedly
frame header transmitted in Ethernet data frames, such as the MAC address,
compression on the type and address in the IP /UDP header, are replaced by short
the air interface ( bytes at the transmitting end. This function increases the Ethernet
HC) service transmission throughput for a fixed bandwidth.
Load balance  The ZXMW NR8961 supports Ethernet load balance and XPIC
to implement large-capacity transmission.
 The Ethernet load balance function is implemented through
Physical Link Aggregation (PLA).
Packet With the PIS function, the ZXMW NR8961 can determine the
Intelligence priorities of Ethernet data on the air interface, and preferentially
Segment (PIS) schedule the services with higher priority. The air interface
function preferentially sends the Ethernet messages with higher priority.

3.1 Clock Synchronization Principles

Clock Synchronization Types
For the input/output clock sources supported by the ZXMW NR8961, refer to Table 3-1.
Table 3-1 Input/Output Clock Sources

Clock Source Type Description Standard Followed
SyncE synchronous gigabit/ The ZXMW NR8961 supports ITU-T G.8262 standard
megabit Ethernet clock Master-output/Slave-input
mode. The synchronous
Ethernet clock signal is input
or output from the GE electrical
port or GE optical port.
Microwave air-interface clock The ZXMW NR8961 restores ITU-T G.813 standard
the clock signal from the air
interface, and uses it as the
system reference clock source.
Clock Synchronization Principles
For a microwave network that consists of ZXMW NR8961 and other microwave devices,
time synchronization of the entire network uses the primary/secondary synchronization
mode.
An NE node in the microwave network is configured to serve as the primary clock, and
synchronizes with the upper-level high-precision clock. It is configured with a high-
precision local crystal oscillator, which is used for keeping the clock or as the primary
clock when no external high-precision clock is available. Other NE nodes in the network
SJ-20200606171511-010 | 2020-06-10 (R1.0) 3-1

trace the primary clock, and control corresponding lower-level NE nodes in accordance
with the primary clock.
Figure 3-1 shows the clock signal transferring diagram of the ZXMW NR8961.
Figure 3-1 Clock Signal Transferring Diagram
1. After the system clock of NR8961 alocks a SyncE clock, it transfers the clock signal
to NR8961 bthrough the microwave air interface. The signals will serve as the
reference clock source of NR8961 b.
2. NR8961 b can lock its system clock to the reference clock source and outputs the
system clock signal to implement the clock transferring function.
3.2 Power Supply Principle

Power Supply Connection
The OBU boards use a -48 V power supply. The external power supply is connected
to the -48 V power output interface of the outdoor cabinet or the equipment room. In
addition, the OBU supports the POE mode through the Ethernet port.
 For the DC mode, considering the loss over long cables, the voltage of the 48 V
power on the ground must be at least 45 V DC. Figure 3-2 shows the power supply
structure.
Figure 3-2 DC Power Structure
 For the POE mode, a PSE voltage rising module is added in the outdoor cabinet or
equipment room. This module enables the -48 V voltage (ranging from -40 V to -60
V) to rise to -54 V DC. The efficiency of conversion to 2 A current can reach 87.5%.
Figure 3-3 shows the power structure.

 Ethernet throughput is tested according to RFC2544 (frame size: 1518 bytes to 64
bytes) and header compression function is disabled while testing.
 The actual throughput of each channel spacing and modulation scheme relates to
the average packet size.
 The system transmission capacity is frequency independence.
 13.75/27.5/55/110 MHz is applied for 18 GHz.
 112 MHz is available for 13/15/18/23GHz.
