1 Introduction
1.1

RELEASE 11.0 OVERVIEW

Release 11.0 is a general release for all Canopy FSK and OFDM radios, including PMP 100,
PMP 400/430, PTP 100, and PTP 200 Series modules.
The primary Release 11.0 feature is SM and AP support for the RADIUS (Remote Authentication
Dial In User Service) protocol so that RADIUS can be used for
o

SM Authentication

o

SM Configuration

o

Centralized AP and SM user name and password management

For information on other Release 11.0 features see section 4 on page 11.
For information on the RADIUS implementation see section 5 on page 13.
For improvements and issues resolved in Release 11.0 see section 6 on page 25.
For release open issues see section 7 on page 26.
Release 11.0 adds no additional features to BHMs or BHSs, but BHMs and BHSs may be
upgraded to Release 11.0 if desired.

IMPORTANT!
Floating licenses are not supported when using RADIUS. If you are using
floating licenses, you can upgrade to Release 11.0, but do not use RADIUS
authentication mode.

Floating licenses are used in conjunction with Prizm or BAM to provide features to SMs. If you are
using floating licenses currently and wish to convert them to fixed licenses so you can use
RADIUS, please contact technical support.
Modules should be running Release 9.5 or Release 10.5 before upgrading to Release 11.0.
To upgrade modules and distribute certificates to SMs use CNUT 3.20.16.
To manage modules running Release 11.0, including managing features new to this release, use
Wireless Manager 3.0. (Prizm does not support the new features.)

3 Upgrading to Release 11.0
Upgrade first to R11.0 then enable RADIUS settings if desired (or not). In most cases operators
will want to upgrade to R11.0, then trial a friendly sector with RADIUS, then deploy RADIUS to
their entire network.
R11.0 does not require using RADIUS. If upgrading a network from an old release, upgrading to
R11.0 is recommended, even if not using RADIUS, so as to take advantage of features and fixes
through R11.0.
Use version 3.20.16 of the Network Updater Tool (CNUT) to upgrade to Release 11.0. Version
3.20.16 supports distribution of certificates to SMs.
CNUT and its release notes can be downloaded from the Motorola wireless broadband support
web site: http://motorola.wirelessbroadbandsupport.com/software/
Modules in operating sectors should be on Release 9.5 or 10.5 before upgrading to avoid
upgrade issues.

Support for the
RADIUS protocol.

RADIUS can be used for SM authentication,
SM configuration, and centralized AP and
SM user name and password management.

Section 5

All Regions

AP and SM

From AP GUI or
SNMP, drop all
sessions in the
sector.

From the AP’s Tools > Sessions tab,
sessions to all SMs in the sector can be
dropped. This forces all SMs in the sector to
register again to an AP. Note that a session
to a single selected SM can also be
dropped.

All Regions

SM with NAT
enabled

Data entry checking

Data entry checking now prevents
mistakenly setting the same IP address for
both the LAN Interface and the Remote
Configuration Interface on an SM with NAT
enabled. These parameters are configured
on the SM’s Configuration > NAT tab.

-

All Regions

PMP 100

Can configure 40 mile
max range on FSK
AP.

On the AP’s Configuration > Radio tab, the
Max Range can now be configured up to 40
miles (instead of the previous max of 30
miles). Note, this does not change the
transmit power of the radio, does not change
the RF operation, and due to the additional
turnaround time in the frame will reduce
capacity and throughput to some degree.

-

All Regions

PMP 100

Can configure SM
receive target level up
to -40 dBm on FSK
AP.

On the AP’s Configuration > Radio tab, the
SM Receive Target Level can now be
configured up to -40 dBm (instead of the
previous limit of -55 dBm). Note, this does
not change the transmitter power of the AP,
nor the sensitivity of the AP or the SM – it
just allows a “hotter” SM receive target level
if RF design requires it.

5 RADIUS for PMP
Release 11.0 adds support for the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol
supporting Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA). The following topics are covered
in this document:
o

An overview of the Canopy RADIUS implementation

o

Description of the operation of RADIUS with Canopy and the various configurable
parameters and their settings

o

Procedures for specific tasks associated with configuring Canopy for RADIUS

o

Reference material, especially information on VSAs and OIDs.

The information does not
o

Provide substantial background on the RADIUS protocol. A solid understanding of
RADIUS is assumed, or should be gained from other sources.

o

Provide detailed information on setting up a RADIUS server. This information should
be gained from other sources, including the vendor or provider of the RADIUS server.

A typical course of action to prepare for the migration to RADIUS is
o

Study these release notes

o

Gain any additional knowledge needed on RADIUS and your specific RADIUS server
from outside sources and install your RADIUS server and database.

o

Experiment with a test system in the lab or field

o

Develop a migration plan for your network

o

Migrate your network to RADIUS

5.1

RADIUS IMPLEMENTATION OVERVIEW

5.1.1

RADIUS Functions

RADIUS protocol support provides the following functions:
o

SM Authentication allows only known SMs onto the network (blocking “rogue” SMs),
and can be configured to ensure SMs are connecting to a known network (preventing
SMs from connecting to “rogue” APs). RADIUS authentication is used for SMs, but
not used for APs, BHMs, or BHSs.

o

SM Configuration configures authenticated SMs with MIR (Maximum Information
Rate), CIR (Committed Information Rate), High Priority, and VLAN (Virtual LAN)
parameters from the RADIUS server when an SM registers to an AP.

o

Centralized AP and SM user name and password management allows AP and
SM usernames and access levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician) to be centrally
administered in the RADIUS server instead of on each radio and tracks access
events (logon/logoff) for each username on the RADIUS server. BHMs and BHSs do
not support RADIUS accounting. This accounting does not track and report specific
configuration actions performed on radios or pull statistics such as bit counts from the
radios. Such functions require an Element Management System (EMS) such as the
Motorola One Point Wireless Manager. This accounting is not the ability to perform
accounting functions on the subscriber/end user/customer account.

Tested RADIUS Servers

The Canopy RADIUS implementation has been tested and is supported on
o

FreeRADIUS, Version 2.1.8

o

Aradial RADIUS, Version 5.1.12
Note, Aradial 5.3 has a bug that prevents “remote device login”, so doesn’t support
the user name and password management feature.

5.2

CONFIGURING AP AND SM FOR RADIUS SM AUTHENTICATION

Configuring Canopy for RADIUS authentication requires configuring both the AP and the SMs.

5.2.1

AP - Choosing Authentication Mode and Configuring for Authentication
Servers

On the AP’s Configuration > Security tab as shown in Figure 2: AP's Configuration > Security tab,
select the RADIUS AAA Authentication Mode. The following describes the other
Authentication Mode options for reference, and then the RADIUS AAA option.
Disabled
Requires no authentication. Any SM (except an SM that itself has been configured to require
RADIUS authentication by enabling Lock AAA as described below) will be allowed to register to
the AP.
Authentication Server (BAM)
Authentication Server in this instance refers to BAM. Authentication with BAM will be required for
an SM to register to the AP. Only SMs listed by MAC address in the BAM database will be
allowed to register to the AP.
When Authentication Server is selected, up to 5 Authentication Server (BAM) IP addresses
can be configured. The IP address(es) configured here must match the IP address(es) of the
BAM(s).
AP Pre-Shared Key
Canopy offers a pre-shared key authentication option. In this case, an identical key must be
entered in the Authentication Key field on the AP’s Configuration > Security tab and in the
Authentication Key field on each desired SM’s Configuration > Security tab.
RADIUS AAA
To support RADIUS authentication of SMs, on the AP’s Configuration > Security tab select
RADIUS AAA. Only properly configured SMs with a valid certificate will be allowed to register to
the AP.

Issue 1, March 2011

Page 14

Release 11.0

Release Notes and User Guide Supplement

When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses
and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(es) configured here must match the IP
address(es) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the
shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and
reliability, not splitting the database. If Server 1 doesn’t respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server
3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network, and does not progress
trying the other servers.
The default IP address is 0.0.0.0 (which obviously won’t match any RADIUS server). The default
Shared Secret is “CanopySharedSecret”. The Shared Secret can be up to 32 ASCII characters
(no diacritical marks or ligatures, for example).

Figure 2: AP's Configuration > Security tab

5.2.2

SM Authentication Mode – Require RADIUS or Follow AP

Refer to Figure 3: SM's Configuration > Security tab to see the GUI options.
If it is desired that an SM will only authenticate to an AP that is using RADIUS, on the SM’s
Configuration Security tab set Lock AAA to Enabled. With Lock AAA enabled, an SM will not
register to an AP that has any Authentication Mode other than RADIUS AAA selected.
If it is desired that an SM use the authentication method configured on the AP it is registering to,
set Lock AAA to Disabled. With Lock AAA disabled, an SM will attempt to register using
whichever Authentication Mode is configured on the AP it is attempting to register to.
Note, requiring SMs to use RADIUS by enabling Lock AAA avoids the security issue of SMs
possibly registering to “rogue” APs which have authentication disabled.

Figure 3: SM's Configuration > Security tab

5.2.3

SM - Phase 1 (Outside Identity) parameters and settings

Refer to Figure 3: SM's Configuration > Security tab to see the GUI options.
The only protocol supported for the Phase 1 (Outside Identity) phase of authentication is
EAPTTLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol Tunneled Transport Layer Security).
Configure an outer Identity in the Username field. This must match the Phase 1/Outer Identity
username configured in the RADIUS server. The default Phase 1/Outer Identity Username is
“anonymous”. The Username can be up to 128 non-special (no diacritical markings)
alphanumeric characters.
If Realms are being used, select Enable Realm and configure an outer identity in the Identity
field and a Realm in the Realm field. These must match the Phase 1/Outer Identity and Realm

HANDLING CERTIFICATES

5.3.1

Certificate management on SMs.

The default public Canopy and PMP 320 certificates are loaded into SMs automatically during the
upgrade to Release 11.0. The default certificates are not secure and are intended for use during
lab and field trials as part of gaining experience with the RADIUS functionality, or as an option
during debug. For secure operation, an operator will want to create or procure their own
certificates.
Refer to Figure 4: Certificate Management on SM's Configuration > Security tab to see the GUI
options.
Up to 2 certificates can be resident on an SM. An installed certificate can be deleted by clicking
the Delete button in the certificate’s description block on the Configuration > Security tab. To
restore fhe 2 default certificates, click the Use Default Certificates button in the RADIUS
Certificate Settings parameter block and reboot the radio.
To upload a certificate manually to an SM, first load it in a known place on your PC or network
drive, then click on a Delete button on one of the Certificate description blocks to delete a
certificate to provide space for your certificate. Click on Choose File, browse to the location of
the certificate, and click the Import Certificate button, and then reboot the radio to use the new
certificate.
When a certificate is in use, after the SM successfully registers to an AP, an indication of In Use
will appear in the description block of the certificate being used.
The public certificates installed on the SMs are used with the private certificate on the RADIUS
server to provide a public/private key encryption system.

1. Set Authentication Mode on the AP’s Configuration > Security tab to RADIUS
AAA as shown in Figure 5: AP's Account > User Authentication tab.
2. Set User Authentication Mode on the AP’s Account > User Authentication tab
(the tab only appears after the AP is set to RADIUS authentication) to Remote or
Remote then Local.
•

Local: The local SM is checked for accounts. No centralized RADIUS
accounting (access control) is performed.

•

Remote: Authentication by the centralized RADIUS server is required
to gain access to the SM if the SM is registered to an AP that has
RADIUS AAA Authentication Mode selected. For up to 2 minutes a
test pattern will be displayed until the server responds or times out.

•

Remote then Local: Authentication using the centralized RADIUS
server is attempted. If the server sends a reject message, then the
setting of Allow Local Login after Reject from AAA determines if the
local user database is checked or not. If the configured servers do not
respond within 2 minutes, then the local user database is used. The
successful login method is displayed in the navigation column of the
SM.

Either the same RADIUS server used for SM authentication and authorization can be used for
user authentication and accounting (access control), or a separate RADIUS accounting server
can be used. Indicate your network design under User Authentication Server.
If separate accounting server(s) are used, configure the IP address(es) and Shared Secret(s) in
the Accounting Server fields. The default Shared Secret is “CanopyAcctSecret”. Up to 3
servers can be used for redundancy. Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not
splitting the database. If Server 1 doesn’t respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1
rejects authentication, Server 2 is not tried.

PMP 430

PMP 430 SM
MIR configured
by Prizm to
greater than max
sustained MIR
data rate (12257)

If the Configuration Source on a PMP 430 AP’s Configuration > General
tab is set to Authentication Server or Authentication Server + SM,
SMs will receive their MIR settings from Prizm (or BAM). The resulting SM
MIR may be greater than the keyed throughput of the SM. For context, the
PMP 430 SM is available keyed to have a maximum throughput of 4, 10,
20 or 40 Mbps.
If the SM receives a MIR setting from Prizm that is greater than the keyed
bandwidth, the SM will cap the MIR using this formula:
(desired uplink MIR * SM aggregate capped rate) / desired aggregate rate
(desired downlink MIR * SM aggregate capped rate) / desired aggregate rate
Note: Desired aggregate rate is the sum of the desired uplink rate and desired
downlink rate

For example, if a PMP 430 4 Mbps SM with a max MIR cap of 4000
receives a MIR setting from Prizm that is greater than 4000 kbps, it will
cap the downlink MIR and the uplink MIR to equal a max of 4000 kbps.
Below is an example with Prizm settings of 10000 kbps uplink MIR and
7000 downlink MIR sent to a 4 Mbps SM that is capped at 4000 kbps max
MIR:
Uplink calculation: (10000 * 4000) / (7000 + 10000) = 2352 kbps
Downlink calculation: (7000 *4000) / (7000 + 10000) = 1648 kbps
Thus the Uplink MIR of 2352 + Downlink MIR of 1648 = 4000 kbps
In this example, the PMP 430 AP sessions page will display a SM uplink
and downlink MIR SMCAP as shown below.

For reference, the max SM MIR in kbps for each SM type is:
4 Mbps SM = 4000
10 Mbps SM = 10000
20 Mbps SM = 20000
40 Mbps SM = 65535 (displays Unlimited in the Home > General Status tab)

SM – DNS below
a NATed SM
when DNS Server
Proxy is enabled

Microsoft Vista and Windows 7 will not route a 169.254/16 subnet used as
the default Canopy subnet since these operating systems use 169.254/16
subnet to talk between local machines. This is not an issue if:
-

the PC is connected directly to the NATed SM.

-

the NAT/routing CPE underneath the NATed SM provides DNS services.

However; if a NAT/routing CPE that is not providing DNS services (e.g.
some home routers) is placed between the SM and the user’s PC, a
Microsoft Vista or Windows 7 machine will not route to the default
169.254/16 SM IP address space to access DNS services.
Workaround: Reconfigure the SMs NAT LAN address to a private IP

Issue 1, March 2011

In a system being used for internet access or similar applications
prioritizing TCP ACKs improves downloading of FTP files and other
activities making significant use of TCP ACKs under heavy load. However,
in a system being used for broadcast video or video surveillance,
prioritizing TCP ACKs can cause sporadic choppy video in the uplink.

Workaround:
If it says Reboot Required, go ahead and reboot, just to clear the
message.

Managing module
accounts and
passwords (none)

The best security practice is to be aware a factory unit comes with root
and admin accounts, to plan your approach to accounts, and set
passwords for all accounts.
A module that either is fresh from the factory or has been operator-reset to
factory defaults has two user accounts: root and admin, both with
ADMINISTRATOR level permissions.
To secure a module, access the Account => Change Users Password tab
and add a password to each of these accounts. Adding a password to only
one account still leaves the other open. Furthermore, an account without a
password will accept any password potentially giving the impression the
unit is protected when it isn’t.
Alternatively, an operator’s practices may be to delete the admin account
or delete the root account and replace them with their own account(s). By
default, Prizm, One Point Wireless Manager and CNUT use the root
account to manage the module, so if you delete root accounts on
modules you will need to make coordinated changes to Prizm, Wireless
Manager, and CNUT to access them with your own accounts.

All

Use 16 or fewer
alphanumeric
characters in user
account names,
passwords, and
Community

Values of Timed Spectrum Analyzer duration and Spectrum Analysis

clicking Save Changes or Start Time Spectrum Analysis (which is
typical operation for other pages).

AP and
SM

Best Practice is to
set SM to same
Region Code as
AP (none)

When an SM registers to an AP, it assumes the Region Code and
associated parameters of the AP, disregarding any Region code set in the
SM by you. However, the best practice is still for you to set a Region Code
in the SM so that displayed options are consistent with the region.

Details on pinging
Canopy modules
(4831)

A ping size larger than 1494 bytes to a radio will time out and fail.
However, a ping of greater than 1494 bytes to a system that is behind a
radio typically succeeds. To gain an accurate view of latency, ping through
the radio to a system beyond. Canopy transports ping traffic with the same
priority as all transport traffic, but may handle a direct ping with lower
priority when running under load.

SM

AP may be listed
twice in SM’s AP
Evaluation tab
(5298)

To help during aiming, the SM’s Tools > AP Evaluation tab maintains AP
entries for 15 minutes. If the frequency of an AP is changed, for 15
minutes the AP is listed twice in the AP Evaluation tab, once with the
former frequency, and once with the new one.

AP and
SM

When using Link
Test with MIR,
need to set both
ends (4844, 2756)

To see the effects of MIR capping, you can run a link test with MIR
enabled. To get meaningful results, set Link Test with MIR to Enabled on
the Tools => Link Capacity Test tab in both the SM and the AP. When it is
enabled on only one end, results are misleading.
After you run perform a link test with MIR capping enabled, consider
immediately changing Link Test with MIR to Disabled in both the SM and
the AP, to avoid mistakenly capping only one end of the link test.

US REGION CODE OPERATION

A 5-GHz PMP 100/400/430 Series AP or a PTP 100/200 Series BH with a Region Code set to
United States is not configurable to another Region Code by installers or end users. This is in
response to FCC KDB 594280 and ensures that end users and professional installers do have
access to settings which could allow a radio to be configured to operate in a manner other than
that which was specified in the FCC equipment authorization grant.
Radios sold in the United States and its territories come with the Region Code on the
Configuration > General tab pre-configured to United States and not selectable, as shown in
Figure 7. Radios sold in regions outside of the United States and its territories are required to be
set by the operator to the Region Code of the region in which they are used.

9 Canopy MIB
The Canopy Enterprise MIB (Management Information Base) consists of 5 MIB definition files and
supports SNMP access to Canopy modules. The MIB files are available for download from the
Canopy tab of http://motorola.wirelessbroadbandsupport.com/software.
Detailed information on the Canopy MIBs is available at
http://motorola.wirelessbroadbandsupport.com/support/online_tools.
MIB files are used by Network Management Systems and Element Management Systems, such
as the Motorola Prizm and One Point Wireless Manager systems, to support a host of
surveillance, monitoring, control, and operational tasks.
Information on the Motorola Prizm element management system is available at
http://www.motorolasolutions.com/Business/USEN/Business+Product+and+Services/Wireless+Broadband+Networks/Point-toMultipoint+Networks/Unlicensed+Point-toMultipoint+Solutions/Element_Management_PTMP_US-EN
Information on the Motorola One Point Wireless Manager management system is available at
http://www.onepointwireless.com/wirelessmanager/
Prizm and One Point Wireless Manager documentation and installers are available for download
from the Canopy tab of http://motorola.wirelessbroadbandsupport.com/software.
If you are using Prizm: Prizm 3.3.10 includes the MIB information. You do not need to load MIB
files.
If you are using One Point Wireless Manager 2.2 or an SNMP network management system
(NMS) or element management system (EMS) other than Prizm: Load the MIBs per the
instructions for One Point Wireless Manager 2.2 or your NMS or EMS.

Important!

When loading the Canopy MIB files

1. First load the standard MIB files.
2. Then load the Canopy MIB files.
Some NMSs are not sensitive to order, but some require a specific loading order to build a MIB
tree. Loading in the recommended order avoids any problems arising from loading sequence.

10 Performance Benchmarking Process
This section describes the performance benchmarking process.

10.1

DEFINITIONS

The following terms are used where these release notes discuss packet processing:
Aggregate Throughput

Sum of uplink plus downlink traffic.

Offered Load

Test equipment generates a specified load to the Ethernet interface
of a module (SM or the AP). The specifications of the load include
both packet size and packet rate.

Carried Load

Test equipment measures the load delivered at the Ethernet interface
of a module. The load is calculated from packet size and number of
packets. As resources are exhausted at any point in the system,
packets may be dropped. The Carried Load equals the Offered Load
minus Dropped Packets.

Downlink/Uplink Load Ratio

The ratio of downlink Carried Load to uplink Carried Load.
NOTE: Do not confuse the Downlink/Uplink Load Ratio with the
Downlink Data configuration parameter. The Downlink/Uplink Load
Ratio is determined from the Carried Loads. The Downlink Data is
set by the operator and determines the split of downlink and uplink
slots in the air frame.

10.2

SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND SYSTEM CONSTRAINTS

Different combinations of system inputs will result in different constraints limiting system
performance.
Larger Packets
With larger packets (the system handles packets up to 1522 Bytes), the system constraint is
airtime, which can also be stated as slots, or maximum bits per second.
This can be calculated as follows:
PMP 100 and PTP 100 Backhauls with 20MHz Channels:
64 Bytes/fragment x 2 fragments/slot x 34 slots/frame x 400 frames/sec x 8 bits/byte = 14 Mbps

This is an aggregate (uplink plus downlink) limit, as the Canopy system is a Time Division Duplex
(TDD) system.
14 Mbps is a typical maximum aggregate throughput for larger packet sizes for an FSK system.
Longer range settings can reduce the number of slots in a frame and packet size (breakage on
64-byte boundaries) can affect packing efficiency (the percentage of fragments fully packed with
64 bytes).
PMP 430 (5.4 and 5.8-GHz OFDM) with 5MHz Channels:
For 1/4 Cyclic Prefix the calculation is
64 Bytes/fragment x 3 fragments/slot x 15 slots/frame x 400 frames/sec x 8 bits/byte = 9.2 Mbps

Issue 1, March 2011

Page 39

Release 11.0

Release Notes and User Guide Supplement

For 1/8 Cyclic Prefix the calculation is
64 Bytes/fragment x 3 fragments/slot x 17 slots/frame x 400 frames/sec x 8 bits/byte = 10.4 Mbps

For 1/16 Cyclic Prefix the calculation is
64 Bytes/fragment x 3 fragments/slot x 18 slots/frame x 400 frames/sec x 8 bits/byte = 11.0 Mbps

With 5MHz channels, 9.2 Mbps is a typical maximum aggregate (uplink plus downlink) throughput
for larger packet sizes in a system configured with 1/4 cyclic prefix. For 1/8 cyclic prefix systems
10.4 Mbps is a typical maximum aggregate throughput and for 1/16 cyclic prefix 11.0 Mbps is a
typical maximum aggregate throughput. Longer range settings can reduce the number of slots in
a frame and packet size (breakage on 64-byte boundaries) can affect packing efficiency (the
percentage of fragments fully packed with 64 bytes).
PMP 430 (5.4 and 5.8-GHz OFDM) with 10MHz Channels:
For 1/4 Cyclic Prefix the calculation is
64 Bytes/fragment x 3 fragments/slot x 33 slots/frame x 400 frames/sec x 8 bits/byte = 20.2 Mbps

For 1/8 Cyclic Prefix the calculation is
64 Bytes/fragment x 3 fragments/slot x 37 slots/frame x 400 frames/sec x 8 bits/byte = 22.7 Mbps

For 1/16 Cyclic Prefix the calculation is
64 Bytes/fragment x 3 fragments/slot x 42 slots/frame x 400 frames/sec x 8 bits/byte = 25.8 Mbps

With 10MHz channels, 20.2 Mbps is a typical maximum aggregate (uplink plus downlink)
throughput for larger packet sizes in a system configured with 1/4 cyclic prefix. For 1/8 cyclic
prefix systems 22.7 Mbps is a typical maximum aggregate throughput and for 1/16 cyclic prefix
25.8 Mbps is a typical maximum aggregate throughput. Longer range settings can reduce the
number of slots in a frame and packet size (breakage on 64-byte boundaries) can affect packing
efficiency (the percentage of fragments fully packed with 64 bytes).
PMP 430 (5.4 and 5.8-GHz OFDM) with 20MHz Channels:
For 1/4 Cyclic Prefix the calculation is
64 Bytes/fragment x 3 fragments/slot x 73 slots/frame x 400 frames/sec x 8 bits/byte = 44.8 Mbps

For 1/8 Cyclic Prefix the calculation is
64 Bytes/fragment x 3 fragments/slot x 81 slots/frame x 400 frames/sec x 8 bits/byte = 49.7 Mbps

For 1/16 Cyclic Prefix the calculation is
64 Bytes/fragment x 3 fragments/slot x 86 slots/frame x 400 frames/sec x 8 bits/byte = 52.8 Mbps

With 20MHz channels, 44.8 Mbps is a typical maximum aggregate (uplink plus downlink)
throughput for larger packet sizes in a system configured with 1/4 cyclic prefix. For 1/8 cyclic
prefix systems 49.7 Mbps is a typical maximum aggregate throughput and for 1/16 cyclic prefix
52.8 Mbps is a typical maximum aggregate throughput. Longer range settings can reduce the
number of slots in a frame and packet size (breakage on 64-byte boundaries) can affect packing
efficiency (the percentage of fragments fully packed with 64 bytes).
Smaller Packets
With smaller packets, the system constraint is processing power in any module handling the
traffic stream. Even though there may be airtime or slots available, the overall throughput is
limited by packet handling ability.

BENCHMARK DEFINITION

In a complex system, any measurement depends on system configuration, traffic mix, various
settings, and measurement techniques, and so to have reproducible results a “benchmark” is
defined.
System configuration
The PMP benchmark system consists of 3 SMs and 1 Advantage AP, as shown in Figure 8 on
page 42. Traffic generation and measurement equipment is connected to both SMs and the AP.
Traffic is generated such that any one packet attempts to traverse an SM and then the AP, or the
AP and then an SM. No SM-to-SM traffic is included in the benchmark. RF conditions are
maintained such that all links run at max rate (2X or 3X).
Traffic mix/Packet size
All generated packets have a size of 64 Bytes. The packet format used is a valid Ethernet/IP
packet. The performance of interest is performance near a 50% Downlink/Uplink Load Ratio.

PTP Settings

Measurement technique
1. Send a specific number of frames at a specific rate through SMs and AP (uplinks) and AP
and SM (downlink) simultaneously. This is the Offered Load. Count the frames that are
received correctly at both sides. This is the Carried Load. Repeat this through the load
rates of interest. Review the results, noting where the packet loss (the difference between
the Offered Load and Carried Load) is essentially zero (<0.001%).
2.

Confirm results by running longer tests at selected load rates.

3.

Confirm results by varying Downlink/Uplink Load Ratios to ensure no significant changes
around the 50% benchmark.

The following section and its Table 18 provide details and discussion of the associated
calculations.

11.3.1 Details of Exposure Separation Distances Calculations and Power
Compliance Margins
Limits and guidelines for RF exposure come from:


US FCC limits for the general population. See the FCC web site at
http://www.fcc.gov, and the policies, guidelines, and requirements in Part 1 of
Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as well as the guidelines and
suggestions for evaluating compliance in FCC OET Bulletin 65.



Health Canada limits for the general population. See the Health Canada web
site at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb and Safety Code 6.



ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection)
guidelines for the general public. See the ICNIRP web site at
http://www.icnirp.de/ and Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-Varying
Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Fields.

The applicable power density exposure limits from the documents referenced above are

The Recommended Separation Distance is chosen to give significant compliance margin in all
cases. It is also chosen so that a given item (bare module, reflector, or LENS) always has the
same distance, regardless of frequency band, to simplify remembering and following exposure
distances in the field.
These are conservative distances:

11.4



They are along the beam direction (the direction of greatest energy).
Exposure to the sides and back of the module is significantly less.



They meet sustained exposure limits for the general population (not just
short-term occupational exposure limits), with considerable margin.



In the reflector cases, the calculated compliance distance d is greatly
overestimated because the far-field equation models the reflector as a point
source and neglects the physical dimension of the reflector.
