System Composition
The ZXMW NR9150 system consists of ODUs, IDUs, antennas and operation terminals.
Figure 1-1 shows the system composition.

Figure 1-1 System Composition

 Indoor Unit (IDU)


An IDU is a indoor control unit. It implements service switching and processing, and
provides system management functions.
Service data accesses the IDU through the service interface board. The Intermedi-
ate Frequency (IF) board modulates/demodulates baseband data and provides inter-
faces connected to ODUs.
 Outdoor Unit (ODU)

SJ-20220113102841-001 | 2022-01-31 (R1.0) 1


ZXMW NR9150 System Description

An ODU is an outdoor unit. It implements functions including service data up/down


frequency conversion and RF transceiving. An ODU is connected to an IDU through
IF cables.
 Antenna
Antennas directionally transmit, converge, and receive electromagnetic wave signals
through parabolic reflectors.
→ In the transmitting direction, the electromagnetic waves sent from waveguides are
polarized and radiated.
→ In the receiving direction, the received electromagnetic waves are polarized and
converted into electromagnetic energy and transmitted by waveguides.
The antenna is an outdoor unit. It is connected to ODUs through flexible waveguides
(separate installation mode), or is directly connected to ODUs (buckle installation
mode).
 Operation terminal
→ Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT)
The LMT, which is a Web-based local maintenance terminal, is embedded in the
ZXMW NR9150. Users can access and manage an device by logging in to the
LMT through the Internet Explorer installed on a PC, and no additional client soft-
ware is required.
→ Command Line Interface (CLI)
CLI (Command Line Interface) is an interface for typing executable commands.
After logging in to a device through SSHv2 or Telnet, you can run commands to
configure and manage the device.
→ Network element Management System (NMS)
The NMS system communicates with IDUs through the SNMP and NETCONF
protocols.
A user can access the NMS server through a NMS client, and manages all man-
ageable NEs in the network.

2.1 Wireless
Eight-direction aggregation node

The NR9150 can function as a convergence node and supports at most eight transmis-
sion directions. The Ethernet service switching function and the PWE3 function are em-
bedded in the NR9150, facilitating service switching.

Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM)

ACM is a technology that can automatically adjust the coding and modulation mode in
accordance with channel quality. When channel quality is good, the ACM function im-
proves the system transmission efficiency and frequency spectrum utilization. When
channel quality is deteriorated, the ACM function ensures the link reliability of high-priori-
ty services.

Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC)

ATPC is a technology that can automatically adjust the transmit power in accordance
with the environmental conditions. The ATPC function can reduce the transmitter's inter-
ference on neighbor systems and the transmitter's residual error rate.

Cross Polarization Interference Canceller (XPIC)

The NR9150 can transmit two channels of different signals on the same carrier frequen-
cy through a dual-polarized antenna, and such signals are called cross-polarized sig-
nals. In practical applications, however, interference is generated between cross-po-
larized signals 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 inter-
ference and improve the system immunity.

SJ-20220113102841-001 | 2022-01-31 (R1.0) 3


ZXMW NR9150 System Description

Co-channel Interference Canceller (CCIC)

The CCIC technology is used to eliminate interference signals of the same frequency in
uplink and downlink channels, reduce the multiplexing angle of the same frequency at
the same site, and optimize the spectrum utilization.

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO)

MIMO is a technology that can further improve the transmission capacity within limited
frequency resource by transmitting a signal with different paths between transmitters
and receivers.

Ethernet frame compression

With this function, the contents that are unchanged but repeatedly transmitted in Ether-
net data frames, such as MAC address and IP header, are replaced by short bytes at
the transmitting end. This function increases the Ethernet service transmission through-
put for a fixed bandwidth.

Load balance

 The NR9150 supports Ethernet load balance and XPIC to implement large-capacity
transmission.
 The Ethernet load balance function is implemented by Link Aggregation Group (LAG/
Enhanced LAG) or Physical Link Aggregation (PLA).
→ LAG can realize multi-channel load balance, uses the HASH algorithm to calcu-
late source/destination addresses of data flows to determine the transmission
channel for each service flow. Load balance can also be implemented based on
IP addresses. Enhanced LAG can deliver different streams into different radio
channels according to HASH algorithm based on MAC/IP address (IPv4/IPv6),
MPLS label,port ID, VLAN ID, Ethernet type, MPLS label.
→ The PLA allocates service flows to each transmission channel of an aggregation
group in accordance with the air interface capacity. The PLA supports a maxi-
mum of eight air interfaces.

Frequency Auto-scanning

Frequency scanning is a detection technique to help us to find out the interference by


scanning the receiver radio signal within the range of frequency sub-band, and trou-
bleshooting the frequency points of interference signals. The higher the receiver signal
level is, the severer the interference will be.
One can benefit from three aspects as follows:
 During site building, we can confirm whether there is adjacent station or overreach
station interference in short time.
 If the decline of transmission quality caused by poor signals during operation, main-
tainers can detect the interference frequency source, and avoid interference by rear-
ranging the frequency plan.
 This function is realized by microwave equipment without any expensive frequency
scanning instrument such as spectrum analyzer to save the operating cost.

CA (Carrier Aggregation)

As shown in Figure 2-1, carrier aggregation enables one modem board transmit/receive
two carriers from/to one 1T1R ODU via one IF interface & cable.

Figure 2-1 2+0 Carrier Aggregation

With carrier aggregation solution, we can greatly reduce the hardware of outdoor unit.
Figure 2-2, Figure 2-3, and Figure 2-4 are examples for 4+0 XPIC configuration. Bene-
fits from the carrier aggregation solution, we can reduce 50% hardware cost and 50%
power consumption of outdoor unit. And less component, ease the engineer installation.

of different vendors to recognize each other in the network and exchange system
configuration information with each other.
 Supports the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) function, through which mul-
tiple member links are bound to form an aggregation group, increasing point-to-point
bandwidth and redundancy between two devices.

Quality of Service (QoS)

QoS is a network security mechanism, which helps solve network delay and congestion
problems.
 The ZXMW NR9150 determines the scheduling priority of a packet in accordance
with the information such as 802.1q priority, Differentiated Services Code Point (
DSCP) priority, and MPLS/MPLS-TP label in the packet. It ensures that important
packets are not delayed or discarded and the network can operate properly.
 Supports three scheduling types, namely, Strict Priority (SP), Deficit Weighted Round
Robin (DWRR), and SP+DWRR.
 Supports three packet discarding functions: end discarding, simple early random dis-
carding and weighted early random discarding.
 Supports the storm suppression function for unknown unicast, unknown multicast,
and broadcast.
 Supports the aging time setting.
 Supports egress-based or queue-based traffic shaping.
 Supports the control list access function. In other words, the input data packets are
categorized in accordance with filtering conditions such as source address, destina-
tion address, and port number of the packets. This function implements a series of
operations for specific service flows, including flow control, and priority mapping.
 Supports the Diff-Serv QoS model.
 Supports ACL traffic classification.
 Supports ACL-based traffic policing.

2 Product Functions

 Supports ingress rate limiting.

Ethernet Ring Protection

 Supports the STP/RSTP/MSTP function. It prevents packets from being multiplied


and circulated in a ring network, and ensures that the system packet processing ca-
pability will not degrade due to repeatedly receiving the same packets.
 Supports the Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) V2.0 function, which is
operating on all NEs in a ring network. The Connectivity Fault Management (CFM)
module checks link connectivity in the ring network and reports link faults to ERPS to
ensure that each NE can operate properly.

2.3 IP/MPLS
OSPFv2/OSPFv3

As a link status protocol, the OSPF protocol overcomes the disadvantages of the Rout-
ing Information Protocol (RIP) and other distance vector protocols. Besides, the PSPF
protocol is an open standard, through which devices from different vendors can connect
to each other.
The PSPF protocol has the following features:
 Fast convergence guarantees the database synchronization by fast spreading link
status update, and synchronizes the calculation routing table.
 There is no route loop. The Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm guarantees that there
is no route loop.
 Route convergence reduces the size of the routing table.
 There is no category. Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLSM) and Classless Inter-Do-
main Routing (CIDR) are supported.
 Network bandwidth is reduced. Because of the update triggering mechanism, update
information is sent only when the network changes.
 Packet authentication on interfaces guarantees route calculation security.
 Update information is sent in multicast mode, which broadcasts the update informa-
tion and reduces interference on irrelevant network devices.
 The BFD and IP FRR are supported.
 The stub/total stub areas are supported.
 Route convergence is supported.
 Route classification is supported.
 Virtual connections are supported.
 The DR/BDR election is supported.

ZXMW NR9150 System Description

IS-IS IPv4/IPv6

As a routing selection protocol raised by the ISO, the IS-IS protocol is a link status proto-
col.
The ISO network includes the ES, IS, Area, and Domain. The local group of a device is
called an area. Multiple areas form a domain. The IS-IS is designed to provide intra-do-
main routes or routes in an area.
The IS-IS protocol is similar to the OSPF protocol of the TCP/IP network. The early IS-
IS protocol can only be used in the ISO CLNS network. The current IS-IS protocol refers
to the integrated IS-IS protocol, which is applied to the ISO CLNS network, pure IP net-
work, and the mixed network of these two networks.
The IS-IS function is described as follows:
 The function supports the BFD.
 The function supports the IP FRR.
 The function supports the DIS election.
 The function supports route convergence.
 The function supports the routing priority configuration.
 The function supports two-level hierarchical architecture.
 Supports BGP (RFC4271).

MPLS

The Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a new generation of IP high-speed back-


bone network switching standard and raised by the Internet Engineering Task Force (
IETF).
The MPLS uses labels for data forwarding. When a packet enters the network, it is allo-
cated with a short mark in specified length. The mark and packet are encapsulated to-
gether. During data forwarding, switching nodes are forwarded based on the marks.
The MPLS function is as follows:
 The function supports the VPLS, H-VPLS and VPWS.
 The function supports the L3 VPN and HoL3 VPN.
 This function supports the LSP FRR protection.
 This function supports the LDP.
 Supports MPLS-TE: OSPF-TE, ISIS-TE, RSVP-TE.

4.1 Clock Synchronization Types


For the input/output clock sources supported by the NR9150, refer to Table 4-1.

Table 4-1 Input/Output Clock Sources Supported by NR9150


Clock Source Type Description Standard Followed

SyncE synchronization The NR9150 supports the Master-output/Slave-in- ITU-T G.8262 stan-
1 G/10 G/25 G Ethernet put mode. The synchronization Ethernet clock sig- dard
clock nal is inputted/outputted from the 1 G/10 G/25 G
Ethernet interface of CSA/IE.

Microwave air-interface The NR9150 restores the clock signal from the ITU-T G.813 standard
clock air interface, and uses it as the system reference
clock source.

1588v2 clock The NR9150 supports the 1588v2 protocol. The ITU-T G.8263 stan-
clock signal from the 1588v2 Slave of the 1 G/10 dardITU-T G.8275
G/25 G Ethernet interface of CSA/IE serves as the standard
clock source.
The supported clock types include common clock,
edge clock, and transparent clock.
 If an NR9150 is used as a secondary common
clock, it synchronizes with upper-level NEs
through the 1588v2 protocol. If an NR9150 is
used as a primary common clock, it outputs the
clock signal to the lower-level NEs through the
1588v2 protocol.
 If an NR9150 is used as a transparent clock, it
satisfies the clock synchronization requirement

existence delay modification for 1588v2 pack-
ets that are transparently transferred in the mi-
crowave network.
 If an NR9150 is used as an edge clock, it for-
wards the clock synchronization signal in the
microwave network to satisfy the clock syn-
chronization requirement of terminal devices.

Plesiochronous Digital The NR9150 extracts the clock signal from the E1 ITU-T G.823 standard
Hierarchy (PDH) clock interface of CSA, and uses it as the system refer-
ence clock source.

4.3.4 Alarm Management


Alarm Management Functions

The alarm management module is one of the application modules of the Operation, Ad-
ministration and Maintenance (OAM) subsystem. It provides the following functions:
 Monitors the operating status of each module/unit in the system, and collects status
messages, alarm messages, and alarm recovery messages of each monitored unit.
 Analyzes these messages and sends them to the back-end after appropriate pro-
cessing, It enables the back-end network management system to monitor the entire
system operations in real time.
 Notifies relevant application systems to troubleshoot faults in accordance with the
alarm influence range.
 Reflects the real-time operating status of the equipment, software, and environment,
and locates faulty units accurately in real time.
 Provides detailed information of fault descriptions and fault occurring time.
 Provides possible fault causes, troubleshooting solutions, and suggestions.

Alarm Management Mechanism

collects alarm information of each board through the alarm collection management
function. Each board can also automatically reports alarm information to the alarm
agent module.

SJ-20220113102841-001 | 2022-01-31 (R1.0) 21


ZXMW NR9150 System Description

 The agent management function reconstructs alarm information. The alarm agent
module extracts useful alarm information and sends it to the main control board. The
main control board manages alarm information in a unified manner.

4.3.5 Monitoring and Maintenance


The monitoring and maintenance module helps users not only find all faults of the equip-
ment but also troubleshoot the faults in a timely manner. It ensures proper operations of
the equipment.

Equipment Monitoring

 The maintenance terminal provides all alarm information of the equipment and mon-
itors the status and operations of the equipment in real time. It handles all abnormal
alarms that affect the equipment operations in a timely manner to ensure that the
equipment can operate properly.
 Alarm information is divided into 1-5 levels.
Alarm levels enable users to handle critical alarms as soon as possible.
 Indicators are designed on the power board, main control board, and each controlled
board. The color and flashing frequency of each indicator reflects the operating sta-
tus of the corresponding board, whether the board has an alarm.
 When the equipment is being started, the system gives a sound prompt, indicating
whether the equipment is powered on properly. The system also provides sound
alarm and rotating speed alarm for the fans if they are faulty.
 The system uses the active/standby configuration. When the active equipment be-
comes faulty, the system automatically perform active/standby equipment switchover
to ensure that the system can operate properly.

Equipment Maintenance

 The multi-user operation mode is implemented through the user rights hierarchy.
 During the equipment operating process, all alarm information is recorded. When
a fault occurs, users can find the fault causes through the log information and trou-
bleshoot the fault in a timely manner.
 When the equipment is powered down or restarts, the system provides a special
alarm handling policy to ensure that the original alarm information will not be lost af-
ter the equipment is powered on or restarted.
 Association or filtering shielding processing is performed for redundant alarms of the
equipment, ensuring that important alarms are provided.
 In the LMT system, users check the operating status of the equipment.

22 SJ-20220113102841-001 | 2022-01-31 (R1.0)

cohesion and low coupling. It reduces the influence of an errored software module on
other software modules to the minimum extent.
 Uninterrupted upgrading

SJ-20220113102841-001 | 2022-01-31 (R1.0) 23


ZXMW NR9150 System Description

The NR9150 supports upgrading software by installing the software patch. The soft-
ware of a controlled board can be upgraded online without affecting the main control
board. It improves the service transmission capability as well as the system availabil-
ity and service quality.

4.4.3 Data Reliability


The NR9150 provides a strict data protection mechanism.
 It supports automatically backing up the database of the active board to the Flash
storage area. In this way, the active board can acquire the data directly from the
Flash storage area.
 The version management function enables the system to initiate the version consis-
tency check periodically. If data inconsistency is found, an alarm is reported, and the
incorrect software version is prohibited to be activated and loaded. The system also
notifies users to re-download the software version package to recover the data.

5.2 Management Plane Signal Flow


Control signals of the NR9150 are transmitted in the in-band mode. Control signals and
user data are separated by Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN).
 The control signal flow is input from the Ethernet board or the IF board (MD), and for-
warded to the main control board (CSA/CSA2) for switching.
 In accordance with MAC addresses or IP addresses contained in the control sig-
nal flow, the main control board determines whether the control signals should be
processed by the software of the main control board. The control plane data to be
processed is switched to the CPU of the main control board for processing.
 After being processed, the control plane signal flow, which is marked with the VLAN
ID by the main control board for distinction, is sent to the data switching plane from
the CPU, switched to the ports of different boards, and sent outwards.
Figure 5-2 shows the control signal flow of the ZXMW NR9150.
