[nbr-beam-forming {yes | no} ]
Neighbor BS Beam Forming (nbr-beam-forming): Applicable only for unit
operating in MIMO Matrix A or B mode. The beam forming mechanism is based on
symmetry in performance between uplink and down link. To compensate for
possible differences due to HW of the ODU, a special low-level calibration signal is
transmitted periodically in each link. During the time this calibration signal is
transmitted all other radio links of the same BS and all its neighbors should not
transmit, to reduce potential interference. The Beam Forming mechanism ensures
that all neighboring BSs operating in Beam Forming mode will enter into silent
mode when necessary. A unit operating in Matrix A or B mode should enter into
silent mode when necessary (based on frame number information) only if it has
neigboring BSs operating in Beam Forming mode.
IMPORTANT
After completing the Airframe configuration, do not forget to execute the apply command before
exiting the Airframe configuration mode:
npu(config-bs-66053-airframe)# apply

When creating a new BS, all mandatory Neighbor BS General parameters must be configured.

npu(config-bs-66053-airframe)# mapzone [size <(-1 to -1 StepSize 1) | (2 to 16
StepSize 2)>] [majorgrps <hex-string>] [repetition <(1 to 1 StepSize 1) | (2 to 6

Each transmitted MAP includes allocations for each MS it served, using the MS’s
CID for identifying each MS. The original CID includes 16 bits, which is
significantly more than practically needed since a maximum of 500 MSs can be
served by each BS. To reduce overhead, a smaller number of bits can be used,
based on RCID (Reduced CID) defined in the standard. This mechanism can be
used only if all MSs served by the BS support RCID. When enabled, CIDs of either
7 or 11 bits will be dynamically used, according to the current number of MS
served at each given moment.

3.9.12.2.3 Configuring the Airframe Downlink Diversity Mode Parameter
The system supports the following operation modes in the downlink:
MIMO Matrix A or B
Beam Forming
In MIMO Matrix A or B mode the system can use either MIMO Matrix A or Matrix
B. The selection between Matrix A and Matrix B is performed automatically for
each MS according to link conditions and supported MS capabilities.
MIMO Matrix A for Coverage Gain: In configuration with multiple transmit/receive
antennas, a single data stream is transmitted in parallel over multiple paths. A
mathematical algorithm known as Space Time Codes (STC) is used to encode the
data streams to make them orthogonal to each other. This improves the signal to
noise ratio at the receiver side, resulting in increased range and better throughput
for subscribers that are difficult to reach (e.g. deep indoors).
MIMO Matrix B for Increased Capacity: This flavor of MIMO, also known as
Spatial Multiplexing MIMO (SM-MIMO), sends an independent data stream over
each antenna. Thus, in case signal conditions are good, the data rate is increased
and in excellent conditions may be doubled.
Beam Forming mode is applicable only for 4x4 configurations (4-channels AU, 2x2
or 4x2 ODUs that support beam forming). The system learns the signals received
from each MS in each of the antennas, and adapt the transmitted signals
accordingly by sending the same data into radio signals at specific relative phases,
Beamforming creates a narrower antenna beam than that generated by a baseline
fixed-beam antenna, with the beam acting as a powerful adaptive directional
antenna. The signal with its transmitted energy is electronically formed and
directed to a particular subscriber, resulting in higher downlink gain for data,
greater downlink throughput and lower interference.
To configure the Airframe Downlink Diversity mode parameter, run the following
command:
npu(config-bs-66053-airframe)# dldiversity [mode < matrixAorB |
beamForming>]
IMPORTANT
When creating a new BS, the Airframe Downlink Diversity mode parameter must be configured
(even if configured to the default value).

3.9.12.2.7 Configuring Airframe MIMO Parameters
The DL MIMO feature provides a TX diversity gain or, when physical conditions
allow, data rate gain (double rate).
The gain is allowed thanks to two or four transmitting antennas at the BS side,
two receiving antennas at the MS side, and encoding/decoding capabilities of both
MS and BS.
TX diversity gain is achieved when MS works at matrix A/STC, space time coding,
AKA STTD (vertical encoding) mode.

When creating a new BS, the Airframe Structure Uplink Data Zone mandatory permbase parameter

Traffic QoS Marking Rule configuration mode. You can also use this command to
create a new Bearer Traffic QoS Marking Rule.
Note that for a new Bearer Traffic QoS Marking Rule this command only defines
the Bearer Traffic QoS Marking Rule number, and that the Bearer Traffic QoS
Marking Rule is not fully created until completing configuration of all mandatory
parameters and executing the apply command (must be executed before exiting
the Bearer Traffic QoS Marking Rule configuration mode). Also when updating an
existing Bearer Traffic QoS Marking Rule, the apply command must be executed
prior to termination the Bearer Traffic QoS Marking Rule configuration mode.

For example, to define a new Bearer Traffic QoS Marking Rule number 1, or to
enable the configuration mode for Bearer Traffic QoS Marking Rule 1, run the
following command:
npu(config-bs-66053)# bearertrafficqos 1
If you use this command to create a new Bearer Traffic QoS Marking Rule, the
configuration mode for this Bearer Traffic QoS Marking Rule is automatically
enabled, after which you can execute any of the following tasks:
Configure one or more of the parameters of the Bearer Traffic QoS Marking
Rule (refer to Section 3.9.16.2)
Restore the default values of Bearer Traffic QoS Marking Rule non-mandatory

4Motion 629 System Manual
In certain cases, such as entity reset, other entities are not aware of service
termination of an MS in that entity, and keep maintaining the MS context. This
may result in service failure, excessive consumption of memory resources and
accounting mistakes.
The keep-alive mechanism should be used to clear MS context from all network
entities when it is de-attached from the BS, and de-register MS from the network
when its context becomes unavailable in one of its serving function locations.
When the keep-alive mechanism is enabled the BS periodically polls other
ASN-GW entities-of-interest and waits for their responses. In case of no keep-alive
response, the BS shall make further actions, such as graceful de-registration of
applicable MS(s) and clearing the applicable MS(s) context.
The BS builds a list of ASN-GW-of-Interest, which it must poll. The list is
dynamically updated; when a new MS is attached to the BS, or MS performs CSN
mobility (data-path relocation) and in its context there is an ASN-GW identifier
unknown to this BS, it shall add it to the ASN-GW-of-interest list. When the last
MS(s) with specific ASN-GW identifier exits the network, the BS shall remove the
ASN-GW from the list. The BS shall include in the ASN-GW-of-interest list also
Relay Data-path ASN-GW(s) (UL next hop IP address). This is applicable when
hierarchical data-path establishment takes place during inter-ASN HO.
The BS periodically polls the ASN-GW(s) for keep-alive. The polling mechanism is
independent and unrelated for every ASN-GW-of-interest the BS polls.
The keep-alive mechanism uses configurable retry timer and retries counter.
Upon expiration of the retry timer, the BS resends the BS Keep-Alive request
message. Upon expiration of the retries counter, the BS assumes failure of the
polled ASN-GW and clears the contexts of all MS(s) served by that ASN-GW.
In addition, the BS verifies that for each polled entity that the “Last-Reset-Time”
UTC value of poll N+1 is equal to the value of poll N. If the “Last-Reset-Time” UTC
value of poll N+1 is higher than the value of poll N, this mean that the ASN-GW
went through reset state during the interval between two consecutive polls. In this
case, the BS shall de-register all MS(s) served by that specific ASN-GW and clear
their contexts.
When keep-alive fails, the BS generates an alarm and log the event.
Regardless of the enable/disable status of the keep-alive mechanism in the BS, it
replies to BS_Keep_Alive_Req received from ASN-GWs with BS_Keep_Alive_Rsp.
that includes also its “Last-Reset-Time”. It responds only if all its functions
operate properly. In case one of the functions fails, the BS shall not respond to the
keep-alive poll.

3.9 .23 Managing the BS Idle Mode Parameters
The single sector Idle Mode capability provides the benefits of MS power savings
and manageable total sector active and non active users, together with reduced
overhead on the backhaul network.
Idle Mode (IM) mechanism allows an MS to become unavailable on the air
interface, and thus freeing operational resources and preserving MS power.
During IM operation, an MS switch off its transmission and reception capabilities,
and becomes available for DL broadcast control messaging, i.e., MS Paging, in a
periodically manner. Using paging broadcast, BS can indicate (if necessary) the
MS to exit from IM and return into normal operation mode. The paging control
message is sent over the DL of a set of BSs simultaneously. This set is called
Paging group (PG). In the current release, each Paging Group includes a single BS.
During IM, MS performs location updates when moving from one PG to another.
While in the same PG, MS does not need to transmit in the UL and can be paged
in the DL if there is traffic targeted at it.
After enabling the BS configuration mode, you can configure the Idle Mode
parameter (refer to Section 3.9.23.1).
You can display configuration information for the Idle Mode parameter of a
selected or all existing BSs (refer to Section 3.9.23.2).

fairness among users, while ER scheduling scheme ensures maximum data-rate
fairness among users at the expense of lower aggregate sector throughput.
Using ER scheduling scheme exposes the system to excessive allocation of air
resources to highly active users having relatively poorer channel conditions. To
ensure data-rate fairness, more resources will to be allocated to these users
compared to users with relatively good channel conditions. The effect of a small
number of such users within the sector will be reflected by reduced aggregate
sector throughput as well as degradation of achievable rates for all users.
To protect against “abusing” users, an instantaneous rate threshold can be
defined within the scheduling scheme in which the amount of air resources for
users with continuous instantaneous rate below the threshold is being limited.
The more the abusing users' instantaneous rate is below the threshold, the more
resource allocations limitation is applied.
Three levels of dynamic protection are available:
No protection.
Low protection level - protection against users with very poor channel
conditions. Should be used where the abusing users instantaneous rates are
far below the average instantaneous rate within the sector.
Medium protection - protection against users with relatively poor or very poor
channel conditions. Should be used where the abusing users instantaneous
rates are below or far below the average instantaneous rate within sector.
A dynamic protection mechanism is implemented, in which the mechanism of
limiting resource allocations is automatically and dynamically activated when
needed.
After enabling the BS configuration mode, you can execute the following tasks:
Configure one or more of the Scheduler parameters (refer to Section 3.9.24.1).

3.9 .25 Managing the BS ASN-GW Load Balancing
Pa ra m e t e rs
The Load Balancing feature provides a WiMAX operator with the capability to
build resilient ASN infrastructure using ASN-GW redundancy. Every BS is
provisioned with a list of redundant ASN-GWs (pool). The BS applies round-robin
mechanism in order to pick an Authenticator for each MS that performs initial
network entry. This should eventually distribute the load between Anchor
ASNGWs. Geographical site backup can be achieved by using different priority of
ASN-GW pools (Authenticator "metric").
At the unit (NPU) level, up to two pools (with different priorities), each with up to
10 ASN-GWs, can be defined (see “Managing the BTS Load Balancing Parameters”
on page 227). Each BS defined in the unit will “inherit” these pools. It should be
noted that the ASN-GW defined in the BS as the default authenticator (see
“Managing Authentication Relay Parameters” on page 592) will be automatically
added to Pool1 that is the higher priority pool (if not included already).
At the BS level, you can enable/disable the use of each of the two pools. Note that
if both pools are disabled, or if the enabled pool(s) are empty, the ASN-GW load
balancing feature is disabled and only the default authenticator will be used.
This section includes:

3.1 0 .2 Configuring Sector Associat ion Entrie s
The Sector Association entry defines all the components that together form a
Sector. Because of the unique functionality of Sector Association entries, they can
only be created: An existing Sector Association entry cannot be modified (to
modify an entry, it must first be deleted and then created again with the modified
values). For details on creating a new Sector Association entry, refer to
Section 3.10.2.1.
You can, at any time, display configuration information for each or all of the
Sector Association entries (refer to Section 3.10.2.3) or delete an existing Sector
Association entry (refer to Section 3.10.2.2).
3.10.2.1 Creating a Sector Association Entry
A Sector Association entry is identified by the BS ID, AU Slot ID and AU Port
Number.
To create a new Sector Association entry, all the entry’s parameters must be
specified. Run the following command to create a new Sector Association entry:

3.1 2 .1 Configuring Tracing
The system can generate traces to be used for tracing the execution sequence of a
module and determining the actual cause of an erroneous condition. Traces are
recorded for events that occur with respect to the following system modules:
System startup procedures: Refers to all procedures/events that occur during
system startup.
NPU/AU upgrade procedures: Refers to all the procedures executed while
upgrading the NPU/AU.
Fault management procedures: Refers to internal processes that are executed
for monitoring erroneous conditions or fault conditions.
System performance procedures: Refers to internal processes that are
executed for monitoring system performance.
Shelf management procedures: Refers to internal processes that are executed
for monitoring the health and temperature of all hardware components (other
than the NPU) such as the AU, PIU and PSU.
WiMAX signaling protocols: Refers to all the protocols that implement the
ASN-GW functionality.
User interface: Refers to the command line or remote management interface
used for executing all user-initiated events such as system shut down or reset.
AU Manager: Refers to all internal processes used for fault, configuration, and
performance management for AU.
The system stores a maximum of 1000 trace and log messages, after which the
oldest messages are overwritten. First configure system-level tracing, and then
configure tracing separately for each module. This section describes the
commands to be used for:
“Managing System-level Tracing” on page 671
“Configuring Module-level Tracing” on page 674
Chapter 3 - Operation and Administration of the Macro BTS Troubleshooting
4Motion 671 System Manual
3.12.1.1 Managing System-level Tracing
System-level tracing refers all the procedures to be executed for managing tracing
for the entire system. To manage system-level tracing:
Enable/disable logging for the entire system and specify the destination (file or
console) where traces are to be maintained.
Make periodic backups of trace files
You can, at any time, view the current destination to where traces are maintained.
After you have enabled/disabled system-level logging and specified the
destination for storing log messages, you can configure logging separately for each
module.
This section describes the commands to be used for:
“Enabling System-level Tracing” on page 671
“Disabling System-level Tracing” on page 673
“Displaying the Current Status of Trace Destinations” on page 673
3.12.1.1.1 Enabling System-level Tracing
You can enable traces for all modules across the system and specify the
destination where traces should be written. The destination can be either a file
stored on the local system or console. To view whether tracing to file or console is
enabled or disabled, refer Section 3.12.1.1.3.
To enable system-level tracing, run the following command:
npu(config)# trace destination {file|console}
The system maintains a maximum of 1000 trace and log messages, after which
the oldest messages are overwritten.
NOTE
By default, system-level tracing to file is disabled. If you enable tracing to file, traces are written to
the same file that contains log messages. This file is not maintained after system reset. It is
recommended that you periodically make a backup of this file on the NPU flash. For details, refer to
Section 3.4.13.1.5.

3.12.2.1 Enabling the Port Monitoring Session
The port monitoring session refers to the association of a destination interface
with one or more source interfaces. You can monitor incoming, outgoing or both
types of traffic that is mirrored from the source interface to the destination
interface.
Run the following command to enable port monitoring for a source or destination
interface:
npu(config)# monitor session { source interface <interface-type>
<interface-id> [{ rx | tx | both }] | destination interface
<interface-type > <interface-id>}
For example, to configure the Gigabit Ethernet 0/9 interface as the destination
interface, you can run the following command:
monitor session destination interface gigabitethernet 0/9
You can now run the following commands to mirror incoming traffic for the source
interfaces, Fast Ethernet 0/1 and Fast Ethernet 0/3:
npu(config)# monitor session source interface fastethernet 0/1 rx
npu(config)# monitor session source interface fastethernet 0/3 rx
All incoming and outgoing traffic for the 0/1 and 0/3 interfaces will be mirrored to
the 0/9 interface.
NOTE
For the current release, only one monitor session can be set up. This means that only one
destination can be configured for one or more source interfaces.
IMPORTANT
An error may occur if:
The interface ID of the source or destination port you have specified is invalid. Refer

The Load Balancing feature provides a WiMAX operator with the capability to
build resilient ASN infrastructure using ASN-GW redundancy. Every BS is
provisioned with two lists of redundant ASN-GWs (pools). The BS applies
round-robin mechanism in order to pick an Authenticator for each MS that
performs initial network entry. This should eventually distribute the load between
Anchor ASN-GWs. Geographical site backup can be achieved by using different
priority of ASN-GW pools (Authenticator "metric").
At the unit (BTS) level, up to two pools (with different priorities), each with up to
10 ASN-GWs, can be defined. Each BS defined in the unit will “inherit” these
pools.

4.5.3.3 SW Version Control
The BTS can contain two SW versions:
Operational: Each time the BTS resets it will reboot using the version defined
as Operational.
Shadow: Normally the Shadow version is the backup version. Each time a new
SW File is downloaded to the BTS, it will be stored as a Shadow version,
replacing the previous Shadow Version.
The typical process of upgrading to a new SW version includes the following steps:
1Download the new SW File to the BTS. It will be stored as the Shadow version.
2Reset and run the BTS from its Shadow version. Note that at this stage, if a
reset were to occur, the BTS will return to the previous Operational version.
3If you want to continue using the new version, swap the Shadow and
Operational versions. The new (currently running) version is now defined as
Operational, and will be used each time the BTS reboots. The previous version
is defined now as Shadow.
Each SW version includes two identifiers:
SW File, which is the name of the downloaded SW file. This name does not
necessarily include clear identification of the SW version number.

4.7.2.1.1 Operator ID
The unique identifier of the wireless network operator. The same Operator ID
must be used by all BSs in the managed wireless network. A number in the range
1-16777215. The Operator ID used in the system is in the format A.B.C where A,
B, C are from 0 to 255. The Operator used in the Monitor program is an integer
that is calculated by the formula A*65536+B*256+C. For example, an Operator ID
of 1.1.1is translated to 1*65536+1*256+1=65793.
4.7.2.1.2 Name
The name of the BS. An optional descriptive parameter. A string of up to 32
printable characters.
4.7.2.1.3 Center Frequency
The center of the frequency band in which the BS will transmit, in MHz. The valid
values depend on the band supported by the device and the Bandwidth to be
defined, are from f1+0.5BW to f2-0.5BW, where f1 is the lowest frequency of the
radio band, f2 is the highest frequency of the band, and BW is the required
bandwidth.
4.7.2.1.4 Bandwidth
The BS channel bandwidth (5 MHz, 7 MHz, 10MHz).
A bandwidth of 7 MHz is not applicable for units in the 2.x GHz bands.
4.7.2.1.5 Paging Group ID
The Paging Group ID of the BS.
The single sector Idle Mode capability provides the benefits of MS power savings
and manageable total sector active and non active users, together with reduced
overhead on the backhaul network.
Idle Mode (IM) mechanism allows an MS to become unavailable on the air
interface, and thus freeing operational resources and preserving MS power.
During IM operation, an MS switch off its transmission and reception capabilities,
and becomes available for DL broadcast control messaging, i.e., MS Paging, in a
periodically manner. Using paging broadcast, BS can indicate (if necessary) the
MS to exit from IM and return into normal operation mode. The paging control
message is sent over the DL of a set of BSs simultaneously. This set is called
Paging group (PG). In the current release, each Paging Group includes a single BS.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration of the Micro BTS BS Menu
4Motion 713 System Manual
During IM, MS performs location updates when moving from one PG to another.
While in the same PG, MS does not need to transmit in the UL and can be paged
in the DL if there is traffic targeted at it.
The range of the Paging Group ID parameter is from 0 to 65535. 0 means that Idle
Mode is not enabled. If Idle Mode is enabled (Paging Group ID is not 0), must be
unique in the network (different Paging Group ID for each BS).

4.7.2.6.8 Neighbor with Beamforming
The beam forming mechanism that may be used by neighboring BSs is based on
symmetry in performance between uplink and down link. To compensate for
possible differences due to HW of the ODU, a special low-level calibration signal is
transmitted periodically in each link. During the time this calibration signal is
transmitted all other radio links of the same BS and all its neighbors should not
transmit, to reduce potential interference. The Beam Forming mechanism ensures
that all neighboring BSs operating in Beam Forming mode will enter into silent
mode when necessary. A Micro BTS operating in Matrix A or B mode should enter
into silent mode when necessary (based on frame number information) only if it
has neighboring BSs operating in Beam Forming mode.
The options are Yes and No. Set to Yes only if the unit has at least one neighbor
BS operating in Beam Forming mode.
The default is No.

4.7.2.10 Scheduler
Scheduling uncommitted (above the maximum reserved rate) traffic can be done
using one of the following options:
Equal Time (ET) scheduling mode, in which air resources are being scheduled
in a fair manner proportional to the users' excess traffic (maximum sustained
rate - maximum reserved rate) SLAs.
Equal Rate (ER) scheduling mode, in which air resources are allocated to users
aiming at ensuring data rate fairness between users proportional to their
excess traffic SLAs.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration of the Micro BTS BS Menu
4Motion 733 System Manual
Assuming a sector with diversity (different channels conditions) of active users, ET
scheme enables higher aggregate sector throughput at the expense of data-rate
fairness among users, while ER scheduling scheme ensures maximum data-rate
fairness among users at the expense of lower aggregate sector throughput.
Using ER scheduling scheme exposes the system to excessive allocation of air
resources to highly active users having relatively poorer channel conditions. To
ensure data-rate fairness, more resources will to be allocated to these users
compared to users with relatively good channel conditions. The effect of a small
number of such users within the sector will be reflected by reduced aggregate
sector throughput as well as degradation of achievable rates for all users.
To protect against “abusing” users, an instantaneous rate threshold can be
defined within the scheduling scheme in which the amount of air resources for
users with continuous instantaneous rate below the threshold is being limited.
The more the abusing users' instantaneous rate is below the threshold, the more
resource allocations limitation is applied.
Three levels of dynamic protection are available:
No protection.
Low protection level - Protection against users with very poor channel
conditions. Should be used where the abusing users instantaneous rates are
far below the average instantaneous rate within the sector.
Medium protection - Protection against users with relatively poor or very poor
channel conditions. Should be used where the abusing users instantaneous
rates are below or far below the average instantaneous rate within sector.
A dynamic protection mechanism is implemented, in which the mechanism of
limiting resource allocations is automatically and dynamically activated when
needed.
The Scheduler menu enables viewing/updating the values configured for the
following parameters:
“Scheduler Mode”
“Scheduler DL Abuse Protection Level”
“Scheduler UL Abuse Protection Level”
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration of the Micro BTS BS Menu
4Motion 734 System Manual

A.1 I ntroduction
The 4Motion 4-Channels Access Units implement four transmit/receive channels
and are capable of supporting Beam Forming and/or MIMO Matrix A/B
technologies. The operation mode is selected via software, giving the maximal
flexibility to select the appropriate mode for each scenario and for each user.
The 2-Channels Access Units can support only MIMO Matrix A/B technology.
The following sections explain the configurations that support the different
available diversity scenarios.
Appendix A - Sector Connections Schemes Fourth Order Diversity, Beam Forming and MIMO
4Motion 747 System Manual
A.2 Fourth Order Diversity, Beam Forming
and MIMO
This section describes the configurations that enable support of both Beam
Forming and MIMO technologies.
Only ODUs that support Beam Forming should be used.
The example is for two 4x2 ODUs, where only the Tx/Rx ports are used. 2x2
ODUs can be used instead, as well as a combinations of one 4x2 ODU and one
2x2 ODU in the same sector (provided that the two ODUs use the same frequency
band).
In the current release a Double Dual Slant (DDP) antenna should be used to
support Beam Forming.

CDMA Code Division Multiple Access is a second generation (2G) cellular technology
defined by Qualcomm in IS-95 and IS-2000. A coding scheme, used as a modulation
technique, in which multiple channels are independently coded for transmission over
a single wideband channel. In some communication systems, CDMA is used as an
access method that permits carriers from different stations to use the same
transmission equipment by using a wider bandwidth than the individual carriers. On
reception, each carrier can be distinguished from the others by means of a specific
modulation code, thereby allowing for the reception of signals that were originally
overlapping in frequency and time. Thus, several transmissions can occur
simultaneously within the same bandwidth, with the mutual interference reduced by
the degree of orthogonality of the unique codes used in each transmission.
