24Motion System ManualChapter 1 - System Description1.1 About WiMAXEmanating from the broadband world and using all-IP architecture, mobile WiMAX is the leading technology for implementing personal broadband services. With huge market potential and affordable deployment costs, mobile WiMAX is on the verge of a major breakthrough. No other technology offers a full set of chargeable and differentiated voice, data, and premium video services in a variety of wireless fashions - fixed, portable and mobile - that increase revenue and reduce subscriber churn.WiMAX technology is the solution for many types of high-bandwidth applications at the same time across long distances and will enable service carriers to converge the all-IP-based network for triple-play services data, voice, and video.WiMAX with its QoS support, longer reach, and high data capacity is positioned for fixed broadband access applications in rural areas, particularly when distance is too large for DSL and cable, as well as in urban/suburban areas of developing countries. Among applications for residential are high speed Internet, Voice Over IP telephony and streaming video/online gaming with additional applications for enterprise such as Video conferencing, Video surveillance and secured Virtual Private Network (with need for high security). WiMAX technology allows covering applications with media content requesting more bandwidth.WiMAX allows portable and mobile access applications, with incorporation in notebook computers and PDAs, allowing for urban areas and cities to become “metro zones” for portable and mobile outdoor broadband wireless access. As such WiMAX is the natural complement to 3G networks by offering higher bandwidth and to Wi-Fi networks by offering broadband connectivity in larger areas.The WiMAX Forum is an organization of leading operators and communications component and equipment companies. The WiMAX Forum’s charter is to promote and certify the compatibility and interoperability of broadband wireless access equipment that conforms to the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.16 and ETSI HiperMAN standards. The ultimate goal of the WiMAX Forum is to accelerate the introduction of cost-effective broadband wireless access services into the marketplace. Standards-based, interoperable solutions enable economies of scale that, in turn, drive price and performance levels unachievable by proprietary approaches, making WiMAX Forum Certified products.

84Motion System ManualChapter 1 - System Descriptionthird-party application providers (e.g. ASP, ISP) for the delivery of WiMAX services to subscribers. From a WiMAX subscriber standpoint, an NSP may be classified as a home or visited NSP.1.2.2.5 Base Station (BS)The WiMAX BS is an entity that implements the WiMAX MAC and PHY in compliance with the IEEE 802.16e standard. A BS operates on one frequency assignment, and incorporates scheduler functions for uplink and downlink resources.The basic functionality of the BS includes:IEEE 802.16e OFDMA PHY/MAC entityR6 and R8 functionality according to NWG definitions Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) relayControl message authenticationUser traffic authentication and encryptionHandover managementQoS service flow management entity1.2.2.6 ASN Gateway (ASN-GW)The ASN-GW is a network entity that acts as a gateway between the ASN and CSN. The ASN functions hosted in an ASN-GW may be viewed as consisting of two groups - the decision point (DP) and enforcement point (EP). The EP includes bearer plane functions, and the DP includes non-bearer plane functions.The basic DP functionality of the ASN-GW includes:Implementation of EAP Authenticator and AAA clientTermination of RADIUS protocol against the selected CSN AAA server (home or visited AAA server) for MS authentication and per-MS policy profile retrieval Storage of the MS policy profileGeneration of authentication key material
4Motion Solution4Motion System Manual 9QoS service flow authorization entityAAA accounting clientThe basic EP functionality of the ASN-GW includes:Classification of downlink data into generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnelsPacket header suppression functionalityDHCP functionalityHandover functionalityThe WIMAX Forum NWG has adopted two different approaches for ASN architecture - centralized and distributed: In the centralized approach there is at least one central ASN-GW, and the BTS NPU operates in transparent mode, as shown in Figure 1-4. Figure 1-4: Centralized Network Reference Model
10 4Motion System ManualChapter 1 - System DescriptionIn the distributed approach, the BTS NPU operates in ASN-GW mode, as shown in Figure 1-5. Alvarion believes in providing operators with the flexibility to select the mobile WiMAX network topology that best suits their needs and existing network architecture. Therefore, 4Motion is designed to support both distributed and centralized topology approaches according to WiMAX Forum NWG profile C.1.2.2.7 Reference PointsReference point R1 consists of the protocols and procedures between the MS and ASN as per the air-interface (PHY and MAC) specifications (IEEE 802.16e).Reference point R2 consists of protocols and procedures between the MS and CSN associated with authentication, services authorization and IP host configuration management. This reference point is logical in that it does not reflect a direct protocol interface between the MS and CSN. The authentication part of reference point R2 runs between the MS and CSN operated by the home NSP, however, the ASN and CSN operated by the visited NSP may partially process the aforementioned procedures and mechanisms. Reference point R2 might support IP host configuration management running between the MS and CSN (operated by either the home NSP or visited NSP).Figure 1-5: Distributed Network Reference Model
4Motion Solution4Motion System Manual 11Reference point R3 consists of the set of control plane protocols between the ASN and CSN to support AAA, policy enforcement and mobility management capabilities. It also encompasses the bearer plane methods (e.g. tunneling) to transfer user data between the ASN and CSN.Reference point R4 consists of the set of control and bearer plane protocols originating/terminating in various functional entities of an ASN that coordinate MS mobility between ASNs and ASN-GWs. R4 is the only interoperable reference point between similar or heterogeneous ASNs.Reference point R5 consists of the set of control plane and bearer plane protocols for internetworking between the CSN operated by the home NSP and that operated by a visited NSP.Reference point R6 consists of the set of control and bearer plane protocols for communication between the BS and ASN-GW. The bearer plane consists of an intra-ASN data path between the BS and ASN gateway. The control plane includes protocols for data path establishment, modification and release control in accordance with the MS mobility events.Reference point R8 consists of the set of control plane message flows and optional bearer plane data flows between the base stations to ensure a fast and seamless handover. The bearer plane consists of protocols that allow data transfer between base stations involved in the handover of a certain MS. It is important to note that all reference points are logical and do not necessarily imply a physical or even direct connection. For instance, the R4 reference point between ASN-GWs might be implemented across the NAP internal transport IP network, in which case R4 traffic might traverse several routers from the source to the destination ASN-GW.
12 4Motion System ManualChapter 1 - System Description1.3 The Base Transceiver StationThe 4Motion solution features a multi-carrier, high-power Base Transceiver Station (BTS). Designed for high availability and redundancy, it utilizes a central networking and management architecture, and a range of diversity schemes. The BTS main features include:R1 support - 802.16e interface handling (e.g. PHY, MAC, CS, Scheduler, ARQ) and processes such as handover, power control and network entry R6 support - communication with ASN-GWEAP proxy in ASN-GW modeHandover triggering for mobility tunnel establishment - R6 (GRE tunnel)Local QoS PEP for traffic via air interface (or SFM) and admission controlHand-Over (HO) control functionRadio resource management agentKey generation (TEK, KEK) and traffic encryptionThe 4Motion Base Transceiver Station includes the modular BreezeMAX shelf, Outdoor Radio Units, GPS Receiver and other components.1.3.1 The BreezeMAX ShelfThe BreezeMAX shelf is an indoor -48 VDC powered 8U cPCI PICMG 2.x standard shelf prepared for installation in a 19" or 21" (ETSI) rack. This chassis has a total of nine double-Euro (6U high) slots and six single-Euro (3U high) slots. All the
The Base Transceiver Station4Motion System Manual 13modules are hot swappable, and high availability can be provided through multiple redundancy schemes.The shelf modules are:The six single-Euro slots are intended for one or two redundant Power Interface Units (PIUs) and up to four redundant Power Supply Units (PSUs). One of the double Euro slots is dedicated to the NPU module, with interfaces for network backhaul, in-band and out-of-band (OOB) management connections.

The remaining seven double-Euro slots are dedicated for Access Unit (AU) modules, thereby enabling various network topologies and future redundancy configurations. In addition, the shelf contains an Air Ventilation Unit (AVU).1.3.2 NPUThe Network Processing Unit is the controller of the Base Transceiver Station. Serving as the central processing unit that manages the BTS components, the NPU aggregates traffic to/from the AU modules, and transfers it to/from the IP backbone through a dedicated Gigabit/Fast Ethernet interface. In addition, the NPU can be operated in ASN-GW mode, in which case it also implements ASN-GW functionality.When operating in ASN-GW mode, the NPU implements the R3 reference point toward the CSN, R4 reference point toward other ASN-GWs, and R6 reference point toward AU/BSs. The R8 reference point traffic is transparently relayed between AU/BSs (intra- or inter-BTS). When operating in transparent mode, the NPU transparently relays R6 and R8 reference-point traffic between AU/BSs (intra- or inter-BTS). The BreezeMAX shelf is hardware-ready for 1+1 NPU card redundancy. The NPU main functions, when operating in transparent mode, are: Aggregate backbone Ethernet connectivity for user and control traffic Aggregate backbone Ethernet connectivity for management traffic (in-band or out-of-band)Connection to a cascaded shelf (future feature)L2 switch forwarding capabilitiesInternal and external traffic VLAN encapsulationQoS markingOverall operation, control and shelf management, including AU diagnostics and control, PSU monitoring, AVU management and redundancy support

Bearer, control and management traffic is sent over the cascade connection. Synchronization and GPS backup power are sent toward the NPUs in the cascaded shelves through the GPS/SYNC ports.GPS synchronization cascading will be implemented in a future release.1.3.3 AUThe Access Unit module performs the WiMAX/IEEE 802.16e BS function according to the NWG Profile C definitions via digital signal processors (DSPs) and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology. The AU module is designed to support high-traffic throughput and enable diversity, MIMO and AAS, thereby extending capacity and range. The AU implements the following functionality:802.16e multi-channel OFDMA PHYUp to four-channel support (Tx/Rx)Diversity and future AAS Flexible channel bandwidth - up to 20 MHzFlexible FFT size - up to 2048 pointsWide variety of reuse patternsAdvanced channel coding (CTC)HARQRate adaptationHigh-performance CDMA detectorIF interface to RF ODUMAC-PHY interfaceLink management (network entry, basic capabilities negotiation, authentication and registration, connection management)

Utilization of this approach also enables enhancing the BS capabilities and capacity via software upgrades only, to add more features, and to comply with future WiMAX Forum profiles. In addition, the SDR approach prepares the AU for adaptive beam-forming. The AU design is based on Alvarion's programmable, off-the-shelf, cutting-edge components, in order to provide a future-proof solution with excellent cost and performance.The AU card interfaces with the NPU card for R6/R8 functionality, as well as control, synchronization and management between the NPU and AU.The AU implements four receive and transmit channels, each of them is HW-ready for up to 20 MHz bandwidth.
18 4Motion System ManualChapter 1 - System Description1.3.4 PIUThe single-Euro Power Interface Unit module serves as the interface between the DC power source and both the PSU modules and external ODU radio transceivers.The PIU filters and stabilizes the input power, and protects the system from power problems such as over-voltage, surge pulses, reverse polarity connection, and short circuits. It filters high-frequency interference (radiated emissions) and low-frequency interference (conducted emissions) at the external power source. Each shelf contains two slots for optional 1+1 PIU redundancy. One PIU is sufficient to support a fully populated shelf, and two modules provide redundant power feeding (i.e. from two input sources), while avoiding current flow between the two input sources.1.3.5 PSUThe single-Euro Power Supply Unit module is a -48 VDC power supply unit that generates low-voltage DC output to comply with PICMG 2.x standard requirements. Each shelf can contain up to four PSU modules supporting N+1 redundancy configuration scheme.Table 1-2 displays the number of PSU modules (excluding redundant units) required for various Base Station configurations without NPU redundancy (one NPU):1.3.6 AVUThe 2U-high AVU includes a 1U-high integral chamber for inlet airflow and a 1U-high fan tray with an internal alarm module. To support high availability, the fan tray includes 10 brushless fans (9 fans are sufficient for cooling a fully-loaded shelf). Fan failure is indicated by both the front panel LEDs and a trap sent to the management system. To further support high availability, the chassis may operate without the hot-swappable fan tray for up to 10 minutes until the AVU is replaced.Table 1-2: PSU Requirements, Configurations with one NPU (excluding PSU redundancy)Number of AUs Minimum Required Number of PSUs1 - 4 25 - 6 3
The Base Transceiver Station4Motion System Manual 191.3.7 ODUThe outdoor unit (ODU) is a high-power, multi-carrier radio unit that connects to one or more external antennas. It is designed to provide high system gain and interference robustness utilizing high transmit power and low noise figure. It is HW-ready for supporting a bandwidth of up to 20 MHz, enabling future options such as increased capacity through the use of a multiplexer or wider frequency channels.The following ODU port configurations will be available:1x1(1Rx by 1 Tx): One receive port, one transmit port2x1 (2Rx by 1Tx): Two receive ports, one transmit port4x2 (4Rx by 1Tx): Four receive ports, two transmit portsIn the current release only 1x1 and 4x2 ODUs are available.The wide range of ODU types will enable efficient utilization of various second and fourth order transmit and receive diversity schemes.The following table provides details on the currently available ODUs following the WiMAX Forum’s definitions:
20 4Motion System ManualChapter 1 - System Description1.3.8 Power FeederThe PIU can support a maximum current of 58 A (@-40.5 VDC). In certain installations with a relatively high number of ODUs this current may not be sufficient to power the shelf and all the ODUs. In such installations the ODU Power Feeder is used as an additional power source providing power (-48 VDC) to ODUs. It transfers transparently all signals between the AU and the ODU, while injecting DC power received from an external source. Each ODU Power Feeder unit can serve up to four ODUs. Up to three ODU Power Feeder units can be installed in a 1U high Power Feeder panel.The Power Feeder is not applicable for the configurations supported in the current release. It will be necessary in the future to support configurations with 6 AUs where each AU is connected to either six 1x1 ODUs or one 4x2 ODU.1.3.9 AntennaIn the 4Motion architecture, the antenna is approached as an independent element. This provides the operator with the flexibility to select the antennas source according to its supplier policy. To ensure the availability of antennas that complement the 4Motion solution, Alvarion works closely with several antenna suppliers to ensure availability of antennas that comply with its requirements.In cases where the operator prefers other antenna vendors, Alvarion can provide a recommended antenna specification based on the required antennas types.Table 1-3: ODU TypesBand (GHz) ODU Frequency Range (MHz) ODU Port Configuration ODU Bandwidth (MHz) ODU Max Tx Power (dBm)2.3 2300-2360 1Rx by 1Tx Up to 10 362.5 2496-2602 (band A) 1Rx by 1Tx Up to 10 362590-2690 (band B) 1Rx by 1Tx Up to 10 362496-2602 (band A) 4Rx by 2Tx Up to 20 382590-2690 (band B) 4Rx by 2Tx Up to 20 383.x 3400-3455 1Rx by 1Tx Up to 14 343445-3500 1Rx by 1Tx Up to 14 343500-3555 1Rx by 1Tx Up to 14 343545-3600 1Rx by 1Tx Up to 14 343400-3600 4Rx by 2Tx Up to 20 373600-3800 4Rx by 2Tx Up to 20 37
The Base Transceiver Station4Motion System Manual 21For more information on recommended antenna configurations and required antennas refer to Appendix A.1.3.10 GPSGPS is used to synchronize the air link frames of Intra-site and Inter-site located Base Transceiver Stations to ensure that in all Base Stations the air frame will start at the same time, and that all Base Stations will switch from transmit (downlink) to receive (uplink) at the same time. This synchronization is necessary to prevent Intra-site and Inter-site interference and Base stations saturation (assuming that all Base Stations are operating with the same frame size and with the same DL/UL ratio).In order for the system to be synchronized, the GPS have to first acquire at least 4 satellites. After that the GPS reception can be reduced to 1 satellite.If no satellite is received the BTS will go to holdover state where internal clock is provided to synchronize the BTS.1.3.10.1 Outdoor GPS ReceiverThe all-outdoor GPS Receiver is a pole mountable GPS receiver and antenna in a single environmentally protected enclosure. The GPS Receiver is powered by a 12 VDC power source, supplied to it by the NPU. The RS-422 interface allows installation at distances up to 100m.

Installing the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) Equipment4Motion System Manual 65Other installation tools and materials2.3.2 BTS Chassis Slot AssignmentsThe BTS chassis comprises 6 3U high slots and 9 6U high slots, as shown in Figure 2-14. The Cable Tray (the installation kit is supplied with the chassis) should be installed on the top of the chassis front to enable convenient routing of cables connecting to power source(s), outdoor unit(s) and other equipment.To enable power source and/or Power Interface Unit 1+1 redundancy, two PIU modules can be installed in the designated slots. If a single PIU module is used, it can be inserted into either one of the two designated slots.The number of installed PSU modules depends on the specific configuration (number of AUs) and NPU redundancy scheme (refer to Table 2-9). If less than 4 PSU modules are used, they can be installed in any of the designated slots.The NPU should be installed in slot number 5 (slot numbers are marked on the Cable Guide). Slot 6 is reserved for a future redundant NPU.Slots 1-4 and 7-9 can hold up to seven AU modules (only six AUs can be active). Unused slots should remain covered until required.Figure 2-14: BTS Chassis Slot AssignmentsAir Ventillation Unit
66 4Motion System ManualChapter 2 - Installation2.3.3 Power RequirementsUse the following table to calculate worst-case power source requirements for the BTS equipment:Power Calculation Example:Configuration: A 2.x GHz BTS with 3 AU cards and 4 1x1 ODUs connected to each AU. Uplink-Downlink split (allocation ratio) of 12-34.Maximum power consumption that should be supplied by PSUs: NPU: 68W3 AUs: 3*46=138WAVU: 40WGPS Receiver: 6wTotal maximum power supplied by PSUs: 252WTable 2-7: Power Requirements, BTS EquipmentUnit Details Power Source -40.5 to -60 VDCPIU Power Consumption: 35W maximum (active PIU)Maximum Supplied Current: 58 APSU 300W max output power Efficiency: 80% minimumNPU 68W maximum, excluding GPS Receiver (6W maximum)AU-4CH 46W maximumODU-2.x GHz Tx (DL): 89W maximumRx (UL): 15W maximumODU-3.x GHz Tx (DL): 90W maximumRx (UL): 20W maximumAVU 40W maximum, 23W typicalOutdoor GPS Receiver 6W maximumNOTEThe PSU(s) do not supply power to the ODUs that are powered directly from the PIU via the backplane and the AU cards. The PIU can support up to a maximum of 20 1x1 ODUs. Additional ODUs should be powered from ODU Power Feeders (not applicable for current release).
Installing the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) Equipment4Motion System Manual 67Total maximum power required excluding ODUs: 252/0.8 (PSUs Efficiency) + 35 (PIU) = 350WWhen calculating the power requirements associated with the ODUs, we should distinguish between the peak power consumption (maximum current during Tx) and the average power consumption (taking into account Tx/Rx split ratio) that affect the requirements from a backup power source.For a 2.x GHz system, the peak power consumption of 12 ODUs under worst conditions is 12*89 = 1068W. Thus, the maximum peak power of the system is 350 + 1068 = 1418W (35A @ -40.5 VDC).The maximum average power consumption of each ODU, assuming UL-DL (Rx/Tx) ratio of 12-34 is (15*12+89*34)/46 = 70W. Thus, the maximum average power required for the whole system is 350 + 70*12 = 1190W (29.4A @ -40.5 VDC).2.3.4 HOT SWAP SupportThe NPU, AU, and PIU modules includes a blue HOT SWAP LED and a micro-switch in the injector/ejector handle to support hot-swap control. After releasing the ejector's button, the HOT SWAP LED should turn on, indicating that power to/from the back-panel is disconnected and the module can be removed safely. 2.3.5 Power Interface Unit (PIU)The single Euro PIU module serves as the interface between the BTS site's DC power source and the BTS Chassis Power Supply Units and external ODUs, which receive power via the IDUs. The PIU filters and stabilizes the BTS input power and protects the system from power problems such as over voltage, surge pulses, reverse polarity connection and short circuits. It also filters high frequency interference (radiated emissions) and low frequency interference (conducted emissions) to the external power source. Each BTS chassis contains two slots for an optional 1+1 PIU redundancy. One PIU is sufficient to support a fully populated chassis. Two PIU modules provide redundant power feeding (two input sources) while avoiding current flow between the two input sources.
68 4Motion System ManualChapter 2 - InstallationFigure 2-15: PIU Module Front PanelCAUTIONWhen replacing a PIU, disconnect power from the PIU module before inserting/ejecting it to/from the chassis. After disconnecting from power, disconnect the power cable to avoid irreversible damage due to potential excessively high transient current. Connect power to the PIU only after it is fully inserted into the chassis.Table 2-8: PIU LEDsPWR and MASTER/ACT LEDs PIU StatusPWR MASTER/ACTOff Off Chassis is not connected to powerRed Off Power input is out of range or PIU card is damaged.

Installing the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) Equipment4Motion System Manual 772.3.9 Connecting the BTS Chassis and ModulesThe indoor equipment should be installed as close as possible to the location where the IF cable(s) enters the building. The location of the indoor equipment should take into account its connection to the power source(s) and to the BTS networking equipment.2.3.9.1 IntroductionThe BTS modules include special handles for high-force insertion/extraction of modules. Each of the 6U high modules (NPU, AU) includes two such handles, whereas each of the 3U high-modules (PIU, PSU) includes a single handle at the bottom of the front panel. The bottom injector/ejector handle of the NPU and AU modules includes a micro-switch to support hot-swap control. Second generation PIU modules also support hot-swap, as indicated by the HOT SWAP blue LED.1 Attach the Cable Guide to the top panel of the chassis using the screws and washers supplied with the Cable Guide.2Install the chassis in a 19" cabinet. For installation in a 21" cabinet, attach suitable ETSI rack adapters to the chassis. To provide a sufficient space for the Cable Guide and to allow air flow for preventing over-heating, leave a free space of at least 1U between the upper covers of the chassis and other units in the cabinet.3Connect one end of a grounding cable to the ground terminal located on the rear panel of the chassis and firmly tighten the grounding screw. Connect the opposite end of the grounding cable to a ground connection or to the cabinet, if applicable.4Carefully insert the modules into the relevant slots. Secure the modules in their alloted locations. 5Place blank covers over all unused slots.6Connect the DATA port of the NPU to the backbone data equipment (use a straight Ethernet cable to connect to a hub/switch/router). The maximum length of the Ethernet cable is 100m when operating at 100 Mbps and 70m when operating at 1 Gbps.To connect the BTS chassis and modules:
78 4Motion System ManualChapter 2 - Installation7If the MGMT port is used for remote management, connect it to the appropriate data equipment (use a straight Ethernet cable to connect to a hub/switch/router). The maximum length of the Ethernet cable is 100m.8Connect the DC power cable to the power jack of the PIU module. If a redundant PIU is installed, connect a DC power cable also to the second PIU module. Connect the power cord(s) to the -48 VDC power source(s), as follows. »Black wire to the 48 VDC contact of the power source. »Red wire to the + (Return) contact. »Ground wire to the ground.2.3.9.2 Air Ventilation Unit (AVU)The 2U high, 84 HP wide AVU includes a 1U high integral chamber for inlet airflow and a 1U high fan tray with an internal alarm module. To support a high availability BTS, the fan tray includes 10 brush-less fans, where 9 fans are sufficient for cooling a fully loaded chassis. To further support high availability, the chassis can operate with the hot-swappable fan tray extracted from it for a period of time sufficient for replacing it (up to 10 minutes).Figure 2-19: AVU Drawer Front PanelTable 2-14: AVU LEDsLED Status DescriptionPWR ALRMOff Off No 5V power inputRed Red 12V power failedGreen Red One or more fans have failedGreen Off AVU operates properly
Installing the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) Equipment4Motion System Manual 79If the red ALRM LED is on while the PWR LED is green, it indicates a failure of at least one fan. Although the BTS chassis may continue operating with one failed fan, it is recommended to replace the AVU as soon as possible.2.3.10 Replacing BTS Components2.3.10.1 Replacing an AVURelease the four screws securing the AVU to the chassis.Using the handle take out the faulty chassis.Insert a new AVU drawer and tighten the screws. 2.3.10.2 Replacing an NPUTo minimize downtime and facilitate fast and easy NPU replacement, it is recommended to maintain an updated copy of the NPU configuration.
