3.1 Network Topologies and Applications
3.1.1 Mobile Point-to-Point (PTP)
A mobile point-to-point system includes 2 units, while the bandwidth ratio between
the two MCU units is configurable according to the application. It can be symmetric
when a full duplex communication is required (50% to each unit) or asymmetric up to
10% to one unit (VC or node) and 90% to the other unit (i.e. Helicopter which
transmits video to the ground unit and its camera is controlled by it).
Example for asymmetric link: 8.4Mb/s configuration, where 10% of available BW is
allocated for uplink and 90% is allocated for downlink
Figure 2: Asymmetric link configuration
3.1.2 Mobile MESH - Multi-Point-to-Multi-Point (MPTMP)
A multi-point-to-multi-point network is a cluster of MCUs over a radio link. The cluster
includes at least 2 MCU units and can run up to 32 MCUs. Each MCU unit receives
from, and transmits to, all other members of the cluster within a reception range.
3.1.3 Collaborative MESH – Collaborative Relay
The Mobilicom Collaborative MESH technology is an enhancement to the Mobile
MESH capabilities. The Collaborative MESH allows to choose the data, which is
received by all cluster members simultaneously, to be relayed by any of the cluster
members (i.e. multiple MCUs can relay the data transmitted from a specific unit at the
same time). This feature significantly extends the network's range and reliability,
without any implication on its capacity (compared to a simple relay system).

1. Ethernet, VLAN Services, VPN and any other Protocol over IP.
2. Including real time applications using RT Protocols such as: Voice, Video, Data
3. Broadcast, Multicast, Unicast
Any Ethernet packet received by the MCU’s Ethernet port, is encapsulated with
Mobilicom’s standard frame for transmitting over the air-link to the remote MCU. The
remote MCU recovers the original Ethernet packet and forwards it to the Ethernet
port.
NOTE – The MCU is similar to Ethernet layer 1 (physical layer) which makes
the integration with your equipment to be nothing more than connecting the ETH
cable.

Mobilicom API). In a Mobile MESH and Collaborative MESH configuration it is used
for synchronization and can also be used by the customer for location purposes. The
MCU-30 can use both active and passive GPS antennas. The power for the active
antenna is provided by the MCU via a regular GPS SMA connector.

7 TDMA
Time division multiple access (TDMA) is a channel access method for shared
medium networks. It allows several MCUs to share the same frequency channel by
dividing the signal into different time slots. The MCUs transmit and receive on the
same frequency in a synchronized manner. Every MCU transmits in its own
dedicated time slots. On the other time slots it receives the transmission sent by the
other units’ which are members of the same network (which are also transmitting on
their own dedicated slots).
TDMA require synchronization system. The system is synchronized internally,
externally or via GPS (synchronization varies between topologies and method used).
The MCU uses TDMA regardless of the application type, Mobile PTP, Mobile MESH
or Collaborative MESH.
Mobile PTP (Point-to-Point)
A Mobile PTP network is a radio link between 2 MCUs. The configuration (frequency
and profile) of both units must be the same with only one difference, one MCU is
configured as a VC (Virtual Concentrator) while the other unit is configured as a
Node.
The VC works with its internal clock and synchronizes the Node. After power-up the
VC starts transmitting regardless of link status. The node however, does not transmit
and stays in RX mode, it tries to acquire synchronization by finding a preamble
(synchronization pattern). As soon as the node recognizes the pattern, it starts to
transmit according to its allocated time slot.
The transmission bandwidth ratio is pre-defined as part of the profile configuration. It
can be symmetric when full duplex communications is required (50% to each unit) or
asymmetric up to 10% to one unit (VC or node) and 90% to the other unit.

Mobile MESH (Multi-Point-to- Multi-Point) Network
A Mobile MESH network is a cluster of MCUs over a radio link. The cluster includes
at least 2 MCU units and can range up to 32 MCUs. Each MCU unit receives from,
and transmits to, all other members of the cluster within the reception range.
The system is synchronized using a GPS or 1PPS External source. The MCU has an
internal GPS receiver and an external connector for GPS antenna (passive or active).
In the Mobile MESH network, the transmission bandwidth is pre-allocated to each
member of the cluster; this allocation is called a transmission vector and can be
configured using the MC-EMA. All MCUs in the cluster must have the same
configuration (Frequency, Profile and Transmission Vector) with only one difference,
unit ID number.
An MCU can be a “listener” only, receiving the information from all other members of
the cluster without consuming any bandwidth by not transmitting. In such
configuration the “listener” unit cannot be monitored via other units (over the air), it
cannot be seen in the link monitor screen since it does not transmit at any time. This
application can be used when transmitting broadcast data to several units, when
there is no need for sending data to the other direction. It can also be used when a
unit is needed as a relay only unit.
After powering up the MCU, it waits for synchronization (1PPS). As soon as the MCU
is synchronized (regardless of other units’ synchronization) it starts to transmit in its
dedicated time slot(s).
NOTE – The MCU can be synchronized by an external 1PPS source. For further
information on this option, contact: support@mobilicom.com.

10 Collaborative MESH – (Collaborative Relay)
In telecommunications, a relay/repeater is an electronic device that receives a signal
and retransmits it at a higher level or higher power, or onto the other side of an
obstruction, so that the signal can cover longer distances. Unlike the description
above, Mobilicom’s Collaborative MESH does not require special hardware. In a
Mobilicom Collaborative MESH network that is based on the Mobilicom’s Mobile
MESH network, the user needs only to choose the MCU whose data needs to be
relayed (can be one MCU or the entire cluster), and any member of the cluster (even
listener only units) that are within the reception range repeat it on a dedicated time
slots. By that, the network achieves better relay capabilities although the MCUs’
locations may changes randomly. The data can be relayed up to 4 times (4 hops). It
can be relayed by the originating MCU or any other MCU that has already received
the data in the previous relay slots. As a result the link is more robust and can reach
longer distances.
As in the Mobile MESH network, the air time is divided into time slots. Each unit has
its own slots in which it transmits data. Every unit which is defined as a relayed unit,
gets specific dedicated relay slots to it. These slots are taken from the allocated
bandwidth of the relayed unit. For this reason, only the relayed unit has “lost” from its
allocated bandwidth for the relay transmission. The other units’ bandwidth is not
affected this way.
The actual bandwidth of an MCU that is “marked” as a relayed unit is the allocated
bandwidth (in the Transmission Vector configuration) divided by the Number of Hops.
A Hop represents one portion of the path between source and destination. We can
say that any members of the cluster within a reception range of the current
transmitting MCU is one Hop from this MCU. Other members of the cluster within the
reception range of these MCUs is in 2 Hops from the original MCU and any cluster
member that in the reception range of these units is in 3 Hops from the original MCU
and so on.
As a Mobile MESH network, the system is synchronized using a GPS or external
1PPS source.
The configuration is the same as in the Mobile MESH network where All MCUs in the
cluster must have the same configuration (Frequency, Profile and Transmission
Vector) with only one difference - unit ID number. Additional configuration which is
specific to the Collaborative MESH network is the Number of Hops, Max
retransmission and “enabled relay” check box per node in the cluster.
After powering up the MCU, the unit waits for synchronization. As soon as the MCU
is synchronized (regardless to other units’ synchronization) it starts to transmit on its
dedicated time slot(s).

2. Units 4 and 5 are within the reception range of unit 3.
3. We configure unit 1 as a unit that needs to be relayed.
4. When unit 1 transmits its data, it is received by units 2 and 3.
Units 1, 2 and 3 retransmit the same data, as unit 1 transmitted in the previous slot at
the same time (achieved by the fact that it is a synchronized network) this time the
data is received by units 4 and 5.

11 Introduction to PTMP (Point-to- Multi-Point)
A PTMP network is a unique topology; it can be achieved by Mobile MESH networks.
It is widely used for multicast/broadcast data distribution from a main unit to many
stations. In this case only one of the stations is controlling the main unit (bi-directional
link) while the other units are only receiving the data.
In this network, there is one MCU which is set to be unit ID 1, this unit is the data
distributer, unit with the unit ID 2 is the controller. In this network there are many
“listener” units which are defined by different unit IDs. The transmission vector
includes 3 units when the 3rd unit members’ bandwidth allocation is set to 0.
In cases where a handoff of the controller position is needed (between other
"listener" members), the transmission vector will be set to 2 units. All the “listener”
units will be configured with unit ID 2 as well. The TX power of unit 1 and 2
(controller) should be set to maximum (23dBm) and the other “listener” units’ TX
power should be set to minimum (-40dBm). The handoff procedure should be done in
the following steps:
1. TX power of the current controller should be set to minimum (-40dBm)
2. TX power of the new controller should be set to maximum (23dBm)
NOTE –“listener” MCU cannot be monitored over the air and isn’t present in
link monitor.
