TDM Microwave:
PDH microwave is used for access; SDH microwave is used for convergence.
Ethernet services are transmitted in the space through the EOS technology.
It supports the fixed modulation scheme from QPSK to 128QAM, and features
small capacity.
It is used in 2G and early stages of 3G networks.
Hybrid Microwave:
Native TDM + Native Ethernet
It supports the modulation scheme from QPSK to 256QAM and the AM function,
and features high bandwidth.
It is used in scenarios where TDM and IP networks coexist at the initial stage of the
transition from 2G networks to 3G networks. At this stage, voice services are
primary and data services are secondary among mobile services. Adding the packet
switching capability to the original TDM microwave equipment is undoubtedly the
preferred solution at the transition stage of the mobile transport network evolution. In
this way, investment in original equipment can be protected and existing voice
services can be transported.
Packet Radio:
It is pure packet microwave.
It supports the modulation scheme from QPSK to 256QAM and the AM function,
and features high bandwidth.
It is used at the All-IP stage of 3G networks. The pure packet microwave is the
best choice for a carrier who needs to build a new mobile IP transport network.

Evolution of Microwave Transmission Network
When microwave transport networks evolve towards packet transport networks inevitably, it is
a most cost-effective solution for carriers to evolve microwave transport networks from
traditional TDM microwave networks to hybrid microwave networks, and then to pure packet
microwave networks. This solution combines strengths such as protecting investment in
existing networks, flexible upgrade, and compatibility. If carriers need to build new mobile IP
transport networks, the best choice is to use advanced pure packet microwave equipment to
transport future All IP services.

Radio Link Forms
The OptiX RTN 900 V1R2 provides the radio links of different forms by flexibly configuring
different IF boards and ODUs to meet the requirements of different microwave application
scenarios. Different radio link forms of OptiX RTN 900 V1R2 support different types of
microwaves. The radio link form of the TDM microwave supports the PDH microwave and the
SDH microwave. The radio link form of the Hybrid microwave support the Hybrid microwave.
1. The PDH microwave refers to the microwave that transmits only the PDH services
(mainly, the E1 services). During the transmission, the PDH microwave does not change
the features of the PDH services.
2. The SDH microwave refers to the microwave that transmits SDH services. During the
transmission, the SDH microwave does not change the features of the SDH services.
3. The Hybrid microwave refers to the microwave that transmits native E1 services and
native Ethernet services in hybrid mode. The Hybrid microwave supports the AM function.
During the transmission, the Hybrid microwave does not change the features of the E1
services and Ethernet services.

TDM Microwave
The PDH microwave refers to the microwave that transmits only the PDH services (mainly, the E1
services). During the transmission, the PDH microwave does not change the features of the PDH
services. Unlike the conventional PDH microwave equipment, the RTN 900 V1R2 has a built-in
MADM. The MADM grooms the E1 services to the microwave port for further transmission. Thus,
the services can be groomed flexibly and seamless convergence between the optical network and
the microwave network is achieved.
The SDH microwave refers to the microwave that transmits SDH services. During the transmission,
the SDH microwave does not change the features of the SDH services.
Unlike the conventional SDH microwave equipment, the RTN 900 V1R2 has a built-in MADM. The
MADM grooms services to the microwave port through cross-connections, maps the services into
the STM-1-based microwave frames, and then transmits the STM-1-based microwave frames. Thus,
the services can be groomed flexibly and seamless convergence between the optical network and
the microwave network is achieved.

Hybrid Microwave
The Hybrid microwave refers to the microwave that transmits native E1 services and native
Ethernet services in hybrid mode. The Hybrid microwave supports the AM function. During the
transmission, the Hybrid microwave does not change the features of the E1 services and
Ethernet services.
The RTN 900 V1R2 has a built-in MADM and a packet processing platform. The MADM
transmits E1 services that are accessed locally or extracted from the SDH to the microwave port.
After processing the accessed Ethernet services in the unified manner, the packet processing
platform transmits the Ethernet services to the microwave port. The microwave port maps the E1
services and the Ethernet services into Hybrid microwave frames and then transmits the Hybrid
microwave frames.
Copyright 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 15
Service Transmission Mode
The Hybrid microwave defines different types of Hybrid microwave frames for different working
modes. The accessed E1 services and Ethernet services are multiplexed into the same Hybrid
microwave frame, and then transmitted to the ODU through the IF interface after IF coding and
modulation. The E1 services and the Ethernet services are transmitted to the remote end through the
microwave after the up-conversion.
The features of the Hybrid microwave frame are as follows:
The frames with a fixed period are used for transmission.
In the specific modulation mode or channel spacing, the length of Hybrid microwave frames
remains unchanged.
The E1 services in Hybrid microwave frames occupy a fixed bandwidth (when N E1 services are
transmitted, the bandwidth of N E1 services is occupied). Thus, the Hybrid microwave does not
change the features of the E1 services during transmission.
In Hybrid microwave frames, the Ethernet services occupy the remaining bandwidth of the E1
services. The encapsulation adaptation processing of the Ethernet frames is performed, so the
Hybrid microwave does not change the features of the Ethernet services during transmission.


The hybrid transmission of native E1 services and native Ethernet services in the Hybrid
microwave is supported.

If the radio link form is the Hybrid microwave, the maximum capacity of each channel of
microwave is 363 Mbit/s when the high power ODU is used or 183 Mbit/s when the standard
power ODU is used. If the XPIC technology is used, the service capacity of the microwave
channel can be doubled with same the spectrum bandwidth.

Modulation Modes
The TDM microwave only supports fixed modulation. The Hybrid microwave supports fixed
modulation and adaptive modulation (AM).
The fixed modulation refers to a modulation scheme wherein a modulation scheme is
adopted invariably when the radio link is running. When the fixed modulation is adopted, the
modulation scheme can be configured through software. A modulation scheme can range
from QPSK to 256QAM.
The AM is a technology through which the modulation scheme can be adjusted
automatically according to the channel quality. When the AM is adopted, the lowest
modulation mode (also called reference mode) and highest modulation scheme (also called
nominal mode) can be configured through software.

AM Technology
Through the AM technology, the Hybrid microwave uses a high-efficiency modulation scheme when
the channel is of better quality. Hence, more user services can be transmitted and thus the
transmission efficiency and spectrum utilization are improved. When the quality of the channel is
degraded, the Hybrid microwave uses the low-efficiency modulation scheme, in which only the
services of a high priority are transmitted. Hence, the anti-interference capability of links is
enhanced and availability of the links on which the high-priority services are transmitted is ensured.
E1 services are of the highest priority in the AM-based Hybrid microwave transmission. Ethernet
services are classified into flows of different priorities based on the CoS technology. When the
Hybrid microwave uses the lowest-efficiency modulation scheme, the equipment transmits E1
services only (if the service bandwidth is higher than the total bandwidth of the E1 services, the
Ethernet services of a high priority can be transmitted). When the Hybrid microwave uses other
modulation schemes, the increased bandwidth can be used to transmit Ethernet services. In this
case, availability of the links on which the E1 services and Ethernet services of a high priority are
transmitted can be ensured and the capacity for transmitting Ethernet services increases.

AM Implementation
Before
switching
When the SNR value received at the receive end is
lower than the threshold, the receive end transmits
quality degradation indication signals to the AM engine.
The AM engine at the receive end places switching
indication signals to the overheads of a Hybrid
microwave frame. The switching indication signals are
transmitted to the local end through the transmit path.
The IF unit at the transmit end processes IF signals,
and transmits the switching indication signals of the
AM to the AM engine.
The AM engine transmits the switching indication
signals to the service signal processing unit and the IF
signal modulation unit, indicating that the service signal
processing unit and the IF signal modulation unit
complete the switching of service frames and the
change of modulation schemes after frame N.
After the modulation scheme changes,
the bandwidth of E1 services does not
change. The Ethernet services with
higher priorities are multiplexed into
microwave frames based on the QoS.
Thus, the remaining bandwidth of the
microwave frames is used to transmit the
Ethernet services with lower priorities.
Due to the switching to the low
modulation scheme, the bandwidth of the
Ethernet services that are multiplexed
into the multiplex unit becomes low, and
the bandwidth of the Hybrid microwave
frames also becomes low.

The AM technology can use the QPSK, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM, and 256QAM modulation schemes.
The lowest modulation scheme (also called reference mode) and highest modulation scheme (also called
nominal mode) can be configured.
When the modulation schemes of the AM are switched, the transmit frequency, receive frequency, and channel
spacing do not change.
When the AM modulation scheme is switched, the step by step mode is adopted.
When the AM switches the modulation scheme, the services with a low priority are discarded but no bit errors or
slips occur in the services with a high priority. The speed of switching the modulation scheme meets the
requirement for no bit error in the case of 100 dB/s fast fading.

OptiX RTN 900 V100R002

Features
The OptiX RTN 900 V100R002 is a new-generation hybrid/TDM MW
transmission product developed by Huawei on the basis of the universal
platform that integrates TDM, Hybrid, and Packet. This product supports
features such as AM, synchronous Ethernet, Ethernet ring, and air interface
LAG. Huawei is the only supplier that provides the MW transmission
product integrating TDM, Hybrid, and Packet in the industry.
Smooth evolution: The universal platform supports the smooth evolution of
TDM -> Hybrid -> Pure Packet.
Hybrid ring protection: Hybrid ring protection is implemented by jointly
using the E1 SNCP and Ethernet ring protection switching (ERPS). The E1
SNCP and ERPS are independent of each other.
XPIC: When the XPIC and CCDP technologies are used, the transmitter
transmits two electromagnetic waves whose polarization directions are
orthogonal to each other to the receiver over the same channel. The
receiver recovers the original two channels of signals after eliminating the
interference between the two electromagnetic waves through the XPIC
technology. In this manner, the transmission capacity is doubled.

Scenario description
(1) In the case of 3G services, only clock synchronization is
required for technologies such as WCDMA.
(2) In this case, the synchronous Ethernet technology can be
adopted to transmit clock information. The difference between
the synchronous Ethernet technology and the ACR mode is
that the clock information is stored at the physical layer in the
synchronous Ethernet technology but is stored in services in
ACR mode.

E-Line Service
The E-Line service is a point-to-point service form on the topology. The equipment transmits the packets
or VLAN packets on a specified port on the user side to a port on the user side or network side or to the
QinQ link on the network side, thus implementing point-to-point transparent transmission of user data.
According to transmission modes, E-Line services are classified into the following types:
(1) UNI-UNI Ethernet service
(2) UNI-NNI Ethernet service carried on a port
(3) UNI-NNI Ethernet service carried on a QinQ link
Copyright 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 35
E-LAN Service
The E-LAN service is a multipoint-to-multipoint service form on the topology. The equipment forwards packets or
VLAN packets on a specified port from the user side to multiple ports or to a PW or QinQ link on the network
side, thus implementing multipoint-to-multipoint transparent transmission of user data.
On the network side, the Ethernet services can be transmitted on a port or QinQ link.
The QinQ link bearer means that an S-VLAN tag of the transport network is added to packets with the C-VLAN
tag on the network of the user side, and thus the packets are labeled with two VLAN tags when traversing the
transport network.
This provides a simple L2VPN tunnel for users. With regard to the services carried on a QinQ link, the QoS can
be ensured by configuring the QinQ policy.

MSTP
The Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) is adopted for network loops. MSTP adopts an
algorithm to prune a looped network to a tree network without loops, thus preventing the increase

Activate a protection
link and perform ring
protection switching
Ethernet ring protection switching (ERPS) is applicable to ring physical networks. The ERPS protects the E-LAN
services between various nodes on the ring. After a ring network adopts Ethernet ring protection, normally, the
owner node blocks the port on one side on the ring to transmit services on the port of the other side, thus
preventing service loops. When a link or an NE on the ring is faulty, the owner node unblocks its upstream port to
transmit services on the faulty link or NE, thus implementing ring network protection.

Quotation rules
for TDM MW
4E1 licenses
Quote the licenses expressed in 4E1s towards the intermediate frequency (IF). The corresponding IF board is the IF1, which
is used as a quotation subitem of the IF board. Note: The E1/STM1 license for the OptiX RTN 600 is quoted according to
NEs. The license strategy for the OptiX RTN 900 has been changed.
When licenses are expressed in 4E1s, if there are N (number) 4E1s in a direction, N (number) 4E1 licenses should be
quoted for the direction.
The two IF boards should be configured with 1+1 configuration.
The license strategy for the OptiX RTN 600 is that one piece of equipment is allocated with one 4E1 license for free. The
licenses are automatically allocated by using the Quoter software. Note that the license strategy for the OptiX RTN 900 has
been changed. The licenses are no longer allocated for free. The licenses are automatically allocated upon charge by using
the Quoter software.
Quote the licenses towards the IF. The corresponding IF board is the IF1, which is used as a quotation subitem of the IF
board.
When licenses are expressed in STM-1s, if there are N (number) STM-1s in a direction, N (number) STM-1 licenses
should be quoted for the direction.
The two IF boards should be configured with 1+1 configuration.

Quote the licenses towards the IF. The corresponding IF board is the IFU2/IFX2, which is used as a quotation subitem of
the board.
For easy management of the network-wide MW capacity, the Link license specifications are normalized and classified into
eight levels: 10M, 20M, 50M, 100M, 150M, 200M, 300M, and 400M. When quoting, quote the closest higher capacity. For
example, if the customer requires the 160M capacity, quote a 200M license. Do not quote the 160M capacity with the sum
of 10M plus 150M.
The two IF boards should be configured with 1+1 configuration.
E1 service calculation method: 4E1 is equivalent to 8M. For example, 16E1 = 4*(4E1), which is equivalent to 32M, and
thus a 50M license should be quoted.
Charge for capacity expansion: The fee for the original capacity should be excluded. When preparing a bill of quotation
(BOQ), quote the after-expansion capacity license to facilitate license delivery and project implementation. For example,
the equipment on the existing network has a 20M license. The customer needs to expand the capacity of the equipment to
50M. In this case, quote 3*10M licenses. Note that the license delivered with the BOQ should still be a 50M license to
ensure the license delivery for the expansion project. In addition, all factors regarding capacity expansion should be
considered as a whole, such as the antenna size and link reserve.
Quote the licenses towards the IF. The corresponding IF board is the IFU2/IFX2, which is used as a quotation
subitem of the board.
