GENERAL INTRODUCTION ON TL SERIES

The TL series digital radio family is IP/SDH high capacity microwave radio system designed for trunk / spur / access / nodal / mobile backhaul transmission applications.

The TL family operates in the radio frequency bands of 4/5/U6/8/11 GHz with 40 MHz RF channel spacing and 4/L6/U6G/7/8/13 GHz with 30 MHz RF channel spacing (28/29/29.65/30 MHz). The equipment is fully solid state and designed to meet latest ETSI and R&TTE standards, ITU-T and ITU-R Recommendations for long haul and high capacity digital microwave radio systems.

The modulation scheme used is fixed or adaptive coded modulation scheme of 4/16/32/64/128/256 QAM depending on propagation condition with Low Density Parity Check type forward error correction.

The TL can be used in various types of IP/SDH networks such as ring, media diversity or linear configurations, and various transmission path conditions such as over water, over mountains, inter or intra city routes.

The TL accepts mixed ACCP/ACAP/CCDP operation with SD & TSD applying single or dual RF band and single or dual / double terminal configuration having maximum sixteen (16) complete systems per rack.

And also 1+1 Hot-Standby and 1+1 Hot-Standby dual / double terminal are available in a same rack.

Various types of optional auxiliary signal transmission functions such as 2.048 Mbit/s wayside traffic, 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet (FE) and 64 kbit/s digital service channels are available.

All configurations standard/high power, XPIC, space diversity are managed by the same unit (TRMD) implementing all baseband, modem and RF functionality in a single unit

TL series is managed by an SNMP agent using communication ports that are able to connect to an IP DCN. This greatly simplify integration efforts in existing NMS networks.

Space Diversity with SD Combiner As a countermeasure against severe propagation path conditions, Space Diversity (SD) reception is provided as option. Space diversity function is fitted as standard and enabled by license key.

The SD system generally uses two antennas, the upper and lower antennas. The Main antenna (upper) is used for transmission and reception commonly. The SD antenna (lower) is used only for space diversity reception. TRMD has function of two sets of receivers, one receiver (Main receiver) is connected to the Main antenna and the other (SD receiver) is connected to the SD antenna.

The SD system can improve the Carrier to Noise Ratio (C/N) up to 2 to 3 dB during the stable propagation condition period and significantly reduce the outage probability due to multi-path fading.

SD combiner method is In-Phase (IP) type combiner in baseband.

Space Diversity with two antennas As a countermeasure against severe propagation path conditions, transmitter space diversity with two antennas is also available as an option.

CCDP (Co-Channel Dual-Polarized) Operation The CCDP frequency operation system can transmit two main signals per RF simultaneously by using same RF frequency carrier both V- and H- polarization. This operation is able to double the spectrum efficiency.

For CCDP operation, FRX-3E has following features:

Powerful XPIC (Cross Polarization Interference Canceller) function

Asynchronous processing technology for XPIC

No synchronization between H- and V-polarization RF LO carrier needed.

ETHERNET CHARACTERISTICS

Ethernet Frame mapping over Radio Link When equipped with Ethernet Interfaces, the TL Series transfers Ethernet packets directly onto the radio link. SIAE MICROELETTRONICA TL maps Ethernet straight into the radio frames (Native IP), this approach provides a point-to-point unacknowledged connectionless service over the radio channel. A CRC is added to prevent wrong packets being forwarded.

Ethernet Throughput TL radio systems provides full-duplex Ethernet throughput ranging from 44 up to 204 Mbit/s per radio channel.

ITEM MODULATION 40 MHz CS SYSTEM 30 MHz CS SYSTEM 4QAM 51 Mbits 44 Mbits 16QAM 102 Mbits 87 Mbits Throughput / CH 32QAM 128 Mbits 109 Mbits 64QAM 153 Mbits 131 Mbits 128QAM 179 Mbits 153 Mbits 256QAM 204 Mbits 175 Mbits

Table 2 - Throughput for Ethernet transmission for Adaptive Coded Modulation

Note: Throughput means effective data speed excluding overhead bits. Definition of throughput is the maximum rate at which none of the offered frames are dropped by the device in accordance with RFC1242. For example of STM-1 line, payload is 150.34 Mbit/s and overhead is 5.18 Mbit/s of 155.52 Mbit/s.

NMS5-UX (Element Manager) for centralized management of large networks with up to 10000 Network Elements per server (HP Unix OS)

Web LCT for maintenance and line-up activities (MS Windows® OS) accessible via Browser

For a more detailed description of SIAE MICROELETTRONICA supervision software platforms, please refer to the specific product literature.

TL uses two (2) type of application layer protocol. HTTP on TCP/IP is used for a web based connection between the built in web server and a client PC. SNMP on UDP/IP is used for connection between the embedded SNMP agent and SNMP managers.

Following figures shows protocol stack which is used on Ethernet LAN of NMS connection
