Integrated IP Radio Characteristics
 Can transmit one, two, or several of the TDM service,
MPLS/PWE3 service, and Native Ethernet service.
 Supports the AM function. E1 services and packet services

can be configured with priority. When AM is switched to the
reference mode, the services with higher priority can be
transmitted with preference.
4096QAM Modulation, Higher
Bandwidth
• In LTE era, the base stations are deployed more intensive, the backhaul distance
become more short (less than 5km), more bandwidth is required and
2048QAM/4096QAM will become one effective way to improve the bandwidth.
• 4096AM will enlarge the bandwidth up to 44% compare with 256QAM, the
transmission distance is about 5km.

 Only the ISU2, ISX2, ISV3 and ISM6 support the IF multimode function.
 During the switchover of modes, cold resets occur on an IF board and

an ODU.

may occur repeatedly during the switchover of modes, and radio links
will be interrupted for several times.
 The SDH mode refers to the access of 1xSTM-1 or 2xSTM-1, so the

air interface at the local end does not need to support the AM function.
 The IF multimode function must be set consistently at both ends.

E1 Priority and Dynamic Adjustment
Description
 In the Hybrid radio link, if the number of E1 services is changed
only in the transmit direction, the timeslots of multiplexing frames
at the transmit end and receive end become inconsistent, and the
receive end cannot demultiplex services correctly. In this case,
services will be interrupted. Currently, the consistency check is
unavailable for data configurations at the two ends of a radio link.
If inconsistency occurs, services will be interrupted.
Description (Cont.)
 Due to the preceding defects in Hybrid radio equipment and
customer requirements, the following functions need to be
provided:
 The consistency check of data configurations at the two ends
of a radio link and the guarantee means need to be provided.
 E1 services will not be interrupted when users can dynamically

add or delete E1 links.
Working Principle
 The occupied air-interface
bandwidth is obtained by
calculating the E1 capacity
under the user-specified
guaranteed capacity. The
remaining bandwidth
under the guaranteed
capacity is reserved for
higher priority Ethernet
services.
 To dynamically adjust E1 capacity, the guaranteed capacity and
full capacity of E1 services need to be set. The guaranteed
capacity is the number of E1 services in the reference mode, and
the full capacity is the number of E1 services in the nominal mode.
 The following parameters at the two ends of a radio link need to

be set consistently: AM parameters, E1 priority enabling status,
number of E1 services in each modulation scheme, E1 priority of
each cross-connect timeslot.

Fast Forwarding of High Priority Services
Description
 IF boards fast forward high priority services, providing eight
levels of SP scheduling.
 The bandwidth of IF boards basics on the weather. Within

the specified bandwidth range, priority scheduling is used to
guarantee fast forwarding of high priority services,
minimizing the packet loss of high priority services.
Fast Forwarding of High Priority Services
Application
 A Layer 2 switching chip can send packets with priority information to

an IF board through the GE port. The IF board performs eight-level
priority scheduling by identifying priority information, and guarantees
fast forwarding of high priority services.
 Only the new IF boards starting from ISU2, ISX2, ISV3 and ISM6
support this function
 An IF board supports a maximum of eight levels of SP scheduling.

CES services are always of the highest priority
 A Layer 2 switching chip needs to send packet priority information

to an IF board

Services
Highly Efficient Encapsulation Mechanism
of Packet Services Description
 IF boards need to fragmentize and encapsulate common
packet services. If services are encapsulated using previous
method, more overheads are required and utilization radio
of air-interface bandwidth is reduced.
 IF boards adopt Huawei-defined highly efficient

encapsulation mode, which increases the utilization ratio of
air-interface bandwidth without affecting the transmission
jitters of CES services.

E1 Clock Transparent Transmission
Description
 The OptiX RTN 900 V100R007 supports a 10-hop clock chain (11
NEs). On a chain longer than 10 hops, the E1 retiming function
must be enabled. Starts from the ISU2/ISX2 board on the OptiX
RTN 900 V100R003 adopts an optimized multiplexing scheme so
that the E1 clock wander performance on a 20-hop clock chain is
better than the G.823 traffic template standard. This is a
breakthrough for a long clock chain on a microwave network. This
clock feature derives smoothly from the older one. Therefore, new
version equipment can be seamlessly interconnected with the
equipment on the real networks.
E1 Clock Transparent Transmission
Application
 E1 clock transparent transmission is mainly used for mobile
backhaul and E1 private line transmission. BSS can trace
E1 clocks to achieve frequency synchronization.
 This enhanced clock feature is implemented only by the
ISU2/ISX2/ISV3/ISM6 boards. If the IFU2/IFX2 board is
used for E1 clock transparent transmission, refer to the
configuration principles of the OptiX RTN 900 V100R002 in
the Microwave Clock Transmission.

IEEE 1588v2
 In the applications on transmission networks, the IEEE 1588v2
standard provides an approach to high-precision time
synchronization on a network basis, with a synchronization
accuracy in the microsecond range.
 The IEEE 1588v2 standard helps in transparent transmission of

high-precision time signals.
 The IEEE 1588v2 standard, used as an alternative to the global

positioning system (GPS) or other complex timing systems, can be
used to provide high-precision time for NodeBs or eNodeBs.
IEEE 1588v2 (Cont.)
 Time synchronization of NodeBs implemented by the IEEE
1588v2 standard
 At one time, the OptiX RTN 900 can use either IEEE 1588v2
or synchronous Ethernet for frequency synchronization.
 Ethernet ports that use SFP electrical modules or Ethernet

ports that work in 10BASE-T mode or half-duplex mode do
not support IEEE 1588v2 time synchronization.
 The IF port supports time synchronization, but does not

support time transparent transmission. The IF port supports
only supports P2P mode delay measurement.
IEEE 1588 ACR
 IEEE 1588 adaptive clock recovery (ACR) is a technology
used to achieve frequency synchronization between the
clock equipment that supports the IEEE 1588v2 standard.
 IEEE 1588 ACR achieves only frequency synchronization

but not time synchronization.
 With the IEEE 1588 ACR technology applied on a transport

network, the clock frequency is carried in an IEEE 1588v2
packet, which traverses an asynchronous PSN; as a result,
the clock frequency of the equipment at the two ends of the
PSN is synchronized.
IEEE 1588 ACR (Cont.)
 IEEE 1588 ACR frequency synchronization
Limitation and Dependency (Cont.)
 Ethernet ports that use SFP electrical modules or Ethernet ports that
work in 10BASE-T mode or half-duplex mode do not support IEEE
1588 ACR.
 When IEEE 1588 ACR feature is deployed, the PSN must provide
stable packet delay and variance (PDV). When the PDV introduced
into a PSN is not more than ±8 ms, the frequency accuracy of
recovered clocks complies with requirements of traffic interfaces that
are described in ITU-T G.823. When the PDV introduced into a PSN is
not more than ±5 ms, the frequency accuracy of recovered clocks
complies with requirements of synchronization interfaces that are
described in ITU-T G.823.
