Adaptive Code Modulation

ACM profiles

1/2

In ALplus2/ALCplus2 radio family uses Adaptive Code and Modulation (ACM) in order to employ the correct modulation profile depending on the Rx signal quality. Available ACM profiles are the following: 4QAM strong These profiles operate in an RF channel with the following 4QAM bandwidth: 8 PSK 7 MHz 16 QAM 14 MHz 32 QAM ODU pass band filters 64QAM 28 MHz 128QAM 56 MHz 256 QAM

ACM switching
The usage of the previous modulation profiles in a fixed channel bandwidth results in a variable capacity. The criteria defining the necessity of an ACM switching, upshift or downshift, is the Rx S/N ratio. Upshift When there is an increase of received S/N, within the same Channel Spacing, the modulation complexity is increased in the direction from 4QAM strong to 256QAM increasing the spectral efficiency Downshift When there is a decrease of received S/N, within the same Channel Spacing, the modulation is reduced in the direction from 256QAM to 4QAM strong reducing the spectral efficiency,

ALCplus2

38

Adaptive Code Modulation

ACM setting

2/2

The ACM can vary modulation profiles between two extremes defined by the operator through software configuration: Upper Modulation and Lower Modulation. Upper Modulation When propagation into the given radio channel is in the better condition (high Rx S/N), the radio link is working at the maximum throughput defined at Upper Modulation: the highest modulation profile that ACM can employ Lower modulation When propagation into the given radio channel is in the worst condition (low Rx S/N), the radio link is working at the minimum throughput, defined at Lower Modulation: the lowest modulation profile that ACM can employ

Tx Power mode
Tx power mode can be set as Constant Peak or Constant Average (constant bolometer measurement). Constant Peak Tx power is at maximum at 4QAM and at 256QAM is reduced (typical 4.5 dB) so the RF Tx amplifier can operate in better linear conditions Constant Average Tx power is the same at any modulation (is the Upper Mod Tx power)

The Tx Power mode is set depending on the modulation license of the user With Constant Average Tx power (Tx Power Constant Peak Mode = Disable), the Tx power at 4QAM and any other modulation is the same, so if Upper Modulation is 256QAM the output power at any modulation is the same of 256QAM which is 4.5 dB less than 4QAM. The result is that enabling 256QAM gives a big advantage for traffic but less link budget margin at 4QAM.

With Peak mode enabled and 256 QAM as reference modulation, the max Pout is the Pout that makes the transmitted spectrum not going out from the mask relevant to reference modulation. If reference modulation is not the one that allows the max Pout of the radio, the Tx power mode comes back to Average. Every time the reference modulation is higher than the lower modulationthe power mode becomes Average

Reference modulation with ACM off Parameters not checked: Reference modulation with ACM on 5. Extra TDM priority order Channel spacing RF frequency Peak/Average Tx power Link ID

Rescue status
During the line-up, if the remote, already configured, is not visible both terminals enter in Rescue status: 4QAM and 0 TDM with Rescue alarm ON. After 5 minutes if the remote remains unreachable, they turn back to use the traffic configuration of the line up.

Line trunk (802.3 ad-LAG)

Up to 4 Ethernet lines can be grouped to increase capacity (4 different groups are available) in the same IDU Conditions: 1. Same speed 2. Full duplex

Radio trunk (for Ethernet traffic only)

Up to 4 different streams can be grouped to increase capacity (1 group only is available). The IDUs must be in the same node. Throughput:
Unicast < 1Gbit/s bidirectional Broadcast < 0.5Gbit/s bidirectional

ELP
A level 2 protection of ethernet lines (2 or more lines in different groups) in the same IDU or in the same node: the switch is performed when a LAN port LOS (on local side) is noticed. When this LOS is over a second switch is not performed. ELP equipment Prot 1 and 2 ELP nodal Nodal Prot 1, 2, 3 and 4

In OAM-FM MA/MEP select the VLAN where to create the MIP and select the command Bind MA. The name of the VLAN is suggested MA name. A MIP is created inside the Ethernet switch.

MEP usage
RED: no CCM received from remote MEPs for more than 2.5T , or RMEP not present/crosschecked. Green: received from crosschecked RMEP MEP identity RMEP: table of Remote MEPs (RMEP) of this local MEP. A RMEP must be crosschecked to be used. Local MEP and its RMEP are in the same VLAN and must have the same CCM period T. A RMEP sends CCMs towards the local MEP and without LBM or LTM does not replies to local MEP.

CCM enabled. The MEP sents CCMs, every T, to its RMEPs to evalutate the status of the VLAN circuit. The CCM can be originated only by a MEP. T = 1s, 10s, 1m, 10m
