User BASE STATION Manual Doc #70-00100-01-00-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2009 Page 12 of 60 January 7, 2009 Chapter2 2 Overview Congratulations on your purchase of the Redline Communications RedMAX 4C wireless broadband base station. Redline Communications is a world leader in design and production of Broadband Wireless (BFW) systems. The RedMAX 4C base station is a complete Mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e-2005) compliant broadband wireless base station. Fully designed as a WiMAX-based solution, the base station has demonstrated interoperability with an emerging base of WiMAX subscriber equipment. Services The base station is (part of) the IEEE 802.16e-2005 definition of a base station. A base station functions as a central hub or concentrator, connected to a WAN network access point, and managing wireless links for remote subscribers. The base station enforces the Quality of Service (QoS) settings over the air interface by controlling all uplink and downlink traffic scheduling -- providing non-contention based traffic with predictable transmission characteristics. The base station delivers fixed, nomadic, portable, and mobile services. Portable services provide limited handover for users moving within and across neighboring sectors and base stations. Mobile services provide full roaming capability to maintain all QoS (quality of service) and SLAs (service level agreements) while moving at vehicular speeds through WiMAX coverage areas. Equipment The base station consists of an indoor chassis and outdoor transceiver and antenna. Each operational wireless broadband network segment is comprised of a base station and one or more WiMAX Forum Certified™ subscribers. Each subscriber registers and establishes a bi-directional data link with the base station. The base station operates under the control of an ASN gateway providing supporting management functions including: Accounting, Inter-Base Station Mobility, Base Station Management, Admission Control, and Access Authentication. Network High reliability is provided through comprehensive OAM&P (Operation, Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning) features including: fault tolerance, alarms and TCAs (Threshold Crossing Alerts), performance and inventory reports, and software management. Chassis management can be performed (via the SOAP/XML interfaces) using the Redline Management Suite (RMS) or a third party Element Management System (EMS). The RMS uses the TMF 814 NBI (Northbound Interface) to the OSS (Operations Support System) and SNMP MIBs.
User BASE STATION Manual Doc #70-00100-01-00-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2009 Page 13 of 60 January 7, 2009 2.1 Feature Summary Mobile WiMAX base station - Compliant with IEEE 802.16e-2005 - Compliant with Certification Wave II Profile Modular components - PICMG standard MicroTCA AMC form factor - Multiple chassis sizes and configurations OBSAI architecture (Open Base Station Architecture Initiative) - Contains the main components of the OBSAI architecture - Implements standard OBSAI interface specifications Scalable - Deployment in one to six sector configuration High-availability - Complies with the Service Availability Forum requirements 2.2 WiMAX Forum Defined Architecture The ASN Controller performance monitoring features allow the ISP/NSP to analyze, troubleshoot, and plan network upgrades.

The ASN Controller also supports TCA (Threshold Crossing Alerts) which enable the network administrator to react to network performance problems in real-time. Figure 1 Overview - Base Station Network Architecture
User BASE STATION Manual Doc #70-00100-01-00-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2009 Page 14 of 60 January 7, 2009 2.3 Feature Details 2.3.1 IEEE 802.16e / WiMAX Compliance The RedMAX 4C base station supports the following Certification Wave II Mobile WiMAX System Profile: - WiMAX Certification Wave 2: Profile 3A: 2.5-2.7 GHz, 5/10 MHz, TDD 2.3.2 High Availability Features The modular design of the base station chassis provides the following High Availability (HA) features: - Hot-swap capability for field replaceable modules - Parallel paths with no single point of failure - In-service software upgrade - Fault Management: monitoring, detection, and reporting - Checkpoint service 2.3.3 PHY Specification The base station is designed for 2-11 GHz operation based on the WirelessMAN-OFDMA PHY definition in the IEEE 802.16e-2005 specifications. Refer to the system specifications for supported frequency ranges. 2.3.4 OFDMA Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) is a multi-user version of the OFDM digital modulation scheme. Multiple access is achieved in OFDMA by assigning subsets of subcarriers to individual users - allowing simultaneous transmission from several users. OFDMA uses the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm to implement modulation and demodulation functions. Using adequate channel coding and bit-interleaving, OFDMA can perform very well in severe multipath environments, mitigate frequency selective fading and provide high spectral efficiency. 2.3.5 Privacy The base station implements IEEE 802.16e-2005 Privacy Sublayer and the NWG Standalone Model Security Architecture. The base station provides an Authentication Relay function to manage exchanges with an Authenticator in the ASN (Authentication Relay Protocol-EAP), and a Supplicant function in the CPE (PKMv2-EAP). This standards-based framework provides user/device authentication and services authorization using off-the-shelf AAA servers. 2.3.6 Time Division Duplexing (TDD) The base station system uses time division duplexing (TDD) to transmit and receive on the same RF channel, or separate RF channels using HD-FDD (half-duplex FDD). These are both non-contention based methods for providing an efficient and predictable two-way PTP or PMP cell deployment. All uplink and downlink transmission scheduling is managed by the base station. The base station sends data traffic to subscribers, polls for grant requests, and sends grant acknowledgements based on the total of all traffic to all subscribers.
User BASE STATION Manual Doc #70-00100-01-00-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2009 Page 15 of 60 January 7, 2009 2.3.7 CTC (Convolutional Turbo Codes) and Coding Rates Turbo codes are used for error correction. When used in combination with parity-check codes, these techniques can approach the theoretical limit (Shannon limit) of maximum information transfer rate over a noisy channel. As part of the error correction technique, each burst of data transmitted over the wireless interface is padded with redundant information, making it more resistant to potential over-the-air errors. The coding rate is the ratio of user data to the total data transmitted including the redundant error correction data. The base station supports coding rates of 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, and 5/6. 2.3.8 Modulation The modulation technique specifies how the data is coded within the OFDMA carriers. The base station supports BPSK, QPSK, 16 QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), and 64 QAM modulation. 2.3.9 Channelization The base station is a frequency-specific system, with the frequency band defined by the transceiver unit. The base station divides the available frequency band into channels. Allocation of channels during deployment is dependent on spectrum availability in the licensed FWA band and local licensing requirements and conditions. Channel selection allows planners to obtain the maximum geographic coverage, while avoiding frequency contention in adjacent sectors. 2.3.10 Service Flows A Service Flow represents a unidirectional data flow with separate QoS settings for uplink and downlink. Service flows provide the ability to set up multiple connections to each subscriber in a sector. Separate service flows can be established for uplink and downlink traffic, where each service flow is assigned a unique service level category and separate QoS settings. This feature allows segregation of high-speed/high-priority traffic from less time-critical flows. Table 1: Overview - Base Station Service Class Types Service Class Description UGS Unsolicited Grant Service Provides the most stringent scheduling, maintaining guarantees on throughput, latency, and jitter to the levels necessary for Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) services. RT-VR Real Time –Variable Rate Service Provides guarantees on throughput and latency, but greater tolerance on latency. Applicable for VoIP and video conferencing applications. ERT-VR Extended Real Time –Variable Rate Service Provides services as RT-VR, except that committed maximum rate can be changed on the fly as requested by subscriber signaling. NRT-VR Non-Real Time – Variable Rate Service Guarantees throughput only. Applicable to mission critical data applications that are not latency-dependent. BE Best Effort No guaranteed minimum throughput. Does allow setting a maximum data rate. QoS is guaranteed by a unique prioritization and rate-limiting algorithm that dynamically adapts to wireless conditions, adjusting data throughput to maintain prioritization of traffic. Up to five classes of service to be assigned to each subscriber.
User BASE STATION Manual Doc #70-00100-01-00-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2009 Page 16 of 60 January 7, 2009 Payloads can be classified by multiple parameters including L2 MAC source and destination address, 802.1p/Q settings, DSCP and TOS bits, L3 IP source and destination address, and L4 TCP/UDP port number. Ingress classification for payload admission into the Service Flow architecture is performed at the subscriber/MS for uplink forwarding, and at the ASN-GW for downlink forwarding. Requests for specific QoS settings can originate from the subscriber, a host connected to the subscriber, or a source outside the WiMAX network (e.g., an intermediate server). Unique QoS settings can be applied for individual users.

A second PWM module may be installed to provide redundancy. When two PWM modules are installed and operating normally, the failure of one PWM module will not affect operation of the base station. The PWM module is fully 'hot swappable' and the standby unit may be removed and installed without affecting operation of the base station (refer to 'Using the Hot-Swap Feature' in the installation guidelines). The TCM manages the power for each uTCA module. The uTCA Power Module incorporates a MicroTCA EMMC (Enhanced Module Management Controller) that can operate independently or be controlled by the TCM module. The EMMC reports voltage and current levels, faulty power conditions, and local temperature status to the TCM. Table 3: Phy - PWM: Power Module Types Model Description PWM 380 -48 VDC power supply.

Each RRH supports two SISO channels or one MIMO channel. Frequency bands and power are determined by the RRH (the BBM is frequency band agnostic). The RRH interfaces to one baseband module (BBM) using the OBSAI RP3-01 optical interface to exchange data and control signals. Power is supplied to each RRH through separate cabling from dedicated power modules (not base station PWM). The RRH may be mounted up to 300 m (984 ft) away from the base station chassis. This distance can be extended based on the fiber type and method of supplying power to the RRH. Each RRH module has two optical interfaces. These interfaces may be used in one of the following configurations: - Connect RRH to a standby BBM module. The optical interface cabling must be provided from the standby BBM modules to the radios. - Interconnect two RRH modules (daisy-chain) to provide 1+1 redundancy or 4-branch MIMO (future option). Each RRH module contains two RF head-ends. The failure of one radio within the RRH enclosure results in graceful degradation, but not loss of service.

The IEEE 802.16 standard calls for the use of GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers to provide the precise time reference for synchronization of WiMAX networks. Operating in TDD mode, the base station and the subscribers transmit at the same frequency, and require precise synchronization between downlink and uplink transmissions. Proper coordination of these activities is required to minimize interference and ensure the best overall system performance. The base station uses the GPS 1 PPS signal to set the frequency of the TCM onboard clock. This TCM reference clock is used when broadcasting a radio frame synchronization signal to all BBM and RRH modules. If the 1 PPS signal becomes unavailable at any base station, that TCM enters 'holdover mode' to maintain the highest accuracy until the GPS signal can be restored. GPS reference clock systems require that a receiver be placed at each base station and that the GPS antenna have line-of-sight satellite access. Ideally, a GPS antenna should be mounted on a rooftop with a full 360º view of the sky, but often an antenna mounted on the side of a building or a tower with a 180º view of the sky is adequate. The base station provides the following synchronization schemes. Model 1 (Standard) – External GPS Unit The GPS component is an integrated GPS receiver/antenna module. Signal input is through an RS-232 cable connected to the Serial 1 port on the TCM front panel. Recommended for short cable runs (~20m). Figure 16: Spec.: External GPS Clock
