Chapter

Congratulations on your purchase of the Redline WiMAX subscriber wireless broadband

product. Redline Communications is a world leader in design and production of WiMAX

and proprietary Broadband Fixed Wireless (BFW) systems.

The indoor subscriber modem is carrier class high-speed IEEE 802.16-2004 WiMAX

compliant for and point-to-multipoint (PMP) deployment.

Figure 2: Intro - RedMAX Subscriber Indoor Modem

RedMAX™ Subscriber Modem

SU-I User Manual

Page 13 of 50

2.1 Features

2.1.1 IEEE 802.16 WiMAX Compliance

The IEEE 802.16-2004 specifications describe a PMP broadband wireless access

standard for systems operating in the frequency range of 2-11 GHz, and 10-66 GHz. This

standard includes descriptions for both the Media Access Control (MAC) and the

physical (PHY) layers. Note that the 802.16-2004 standards are subject to amendment,

and the subscriber product design compliance applies to a specific revision of the

standard. The outdoor subscriber product does not support mesh communication (direct

subscriber-to-subscriber).

Redline is an active member of the WiMAX Forum™ and is participating in

interoperability testing in the WiMAX Forum. Redline is also an active member of the

IEEE 802.16-2004 standards committee and has been instrumental in creating the original

802.16-2004 standards, and is active in recommending, writing and following-up work on

new amendments to the 802.16-2004 specifications.

2.1.2 PHY Specification

The subscriber system is designed for 2-11 GHz operation based on the WirelessMAN-

OFDM PHY definition in the IEEE 802.16-2004 specifications. The subscriber uses

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM is a multi-carrier

transmission technique where the data stream is split and transmitted (at a reduced rate)

in parallel streams on separate sub-carriers. OFDM uses the Fast Fourier Transform

(FFT) algorithm to implement modulation and demodulation functions. Using adequate

channel coding and bit-interleaving, OFDM performs very well in severe multipath

environments, mitigates frequency-selective fading, and provides high spectral

efficiency.

2.1.3 Time Division Duplexing (TDD)

The subscriber system uses time division duplexing (TDD) to transmit and receive on the

same RF channel. The subscriber can also transmit and receive using separate RF

channels, referred to as half-duplex FDD (HD-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

WiMAX 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.

2.1.4 Coding Rate

Each burst of data transmitted over the air is padded with redundant information to make

it resistant to errors introduced during transmission. The coding rate is the ratio of user

data to the total data transmitted including the redundant error correction data. The

subscriber supports coding rates of 1/2, 2/3, and 3/4.

2.1.5 Modulation

The modulation technique specifies how the data is coded within the OFDM carriers. The

subscriber supports BPSK, QPSK, 16 QAM, and 64 QAM modulation.

RedMAX™ Subscriber Modem

SU-I User Manual

Page 14 of 50

2.1.6 Reed Solomon Error Correction

Outer Reed-Solomon and inward Convolution Coding (RS-CC) error correction is

enabled for all traffic rates, with the exception of BPSK 1/2 where only inward

Convolution Coding is used. These low-level processes can correct bursts of errors in

received messages and reduce the number of retransmissions.

2.2 Deployment Models

The subscriber supports point to multipoint (PMP) deployment scenarios.

2.2.1 PMP Deployment

When deployed in a PMP configuration the base station establishes bi-directional links to

more than one subscriber. The PMP deployments typically use a wide beam (sector)

antenna at the base station and a narrow beam antenna at the subscriber. Service flows are

used to police service level agreements for each subscriber.

2.2.2 Non Line-of-Sight

The subscriber system supports line-of-sight (LOS), optical line-of-sight (OLOS), and

non line-of-sight (NLOS) operation. A clear LOS link has no obstacles within 60% of the

first Fresnel zone of the direct path. An OLOS link has obstructions within 60% of the

first Fresnel zone, but a visible path exists from the base station to the subscriber.

Figure 3: System - Fresnel Zone

A wireless link is considered non LOS if natural or man-made structures block the visible

path between the base station and subscriber. In this case, a wireless link can be

established only if a reflective path can be established between the base station and

subscriber.

RedMAX™ Subscriber Modem

SU-I User Manual

Page 15 of 50

Figure 4: System - Non-Line of Sight Deployment

2.2.3 Channelization

The subscriber is a frequency-specific system, with the frequency band defined by the

internal transceiver unit. The use of the operating band must be in accordance with

European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT)

Recommendation 14-03.

The subscriber divides the available frequency band into channels. Allocation of channels

during deployment is dependent on spectrum availability in the licensed FWA band

(3400-3600 MHz) 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 Service Flows

Service flows are a key feature of the 802.16 standard. A Service Flow represents a

unidirectional data flow having 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.

2.3.1 Service Flow Classification

Data packets are forwarded by the subscriber based on classification rules. Classification

rules require examining each packet for pattern matches such as destination address,

source address, or VLAN tag. All classification is defined at the base station and the

classification parameters are downloaded to the subscriber.

A service flow is partially characterized by the following attributes:

RedMAX™ Subscriber Modem

SU-I User Manual

Page 16 of 50

4. A 32-bit Service Flow ID (SFID) is assigned to all existing service flows. The SFID

serves as the principal identifier for the Service Flow and has an associated direction.

5. A 16-bit Connection ID (CID) is associated with each active SFID (connection

active).

6. A set of QoS parameters specifying the required resources. The principal resource is

bandwidth, but the specification may also include latency requirements.

7. A set of QoS parameters defining the level of service being provided.

2.3.2 Dynamic Service Addition

Service flows are defined and stored in the base station. For each service flow to be

established, the base station sends a setup message to the subscriber specifying the

required set of QoS parameters. The subscriber responds to each request by accepting or

rejecting the setup message.

A service flow may be pre-provisioned or can be dynamically created and deleted

without service outage. This is useful for supporting multiple subscribers in a single

sector. New subscribers can be added and existing subscribers can be removed or have

service levels modified.

Setup messages are sent by the base station following any subscriber power-cycle, loss

and recovery of the wireless link to a subscriber, or any service flow add/delete operation

at the base station.

2.3.3 Uplink Service Flow Scheduling

The base station enforces QoS settings for each service flow by controlling all uplink and

downlink traffic scheduling. This provides non-contention based traffic model with

predictable transmission characteristics. By analyzing the aggregate requests of all

subscribers, the base station ensures that uplink and downlink traffic conforms with the

current service level agreements (SLAs). Centralized scheduling increases traffic

predictability, eliminates contention, and provides maximum opportunity for reducing

overhead.

Real-Time Polling Service (rt-PS)

The base station schedules a continuous regular series of transmit opportunities for the

subscriber to send variable size data packets. The grant size is based on the current data

transfer requirement. Typical applications include streaming MPEG video or VOIP with

silence suppression. This is efficient for applications that have a real-time component and

continuously changing bandwidth requirements.

Non-Real-Time Polling Service (nrt-PS)

The base station schedules regular transmit opportunities for the subscriber to send

variable size data packets. Typical applications may include high bandwidth FTP. The

polling period may typically be one second or less, even during periods of network

congestion.

Best Effort (BE)

The base station schedules transmit opportunities for the subscriber to send traffic based

on unused bandwidth after all higher level traffic scheduling requirements are serviced.

RedMAX™ Subscriber Modem

SU-I User Manual

Page 17 of 50

Typical applications may include Internet access and email. Best effort service flows can

be assigned a priority of 0 to 7.

Unsolicited Grant Service (UGS)

The base station schedules a continuous series of transmit opportunities for the subscriber

to send fixed size data packets. This schedule supports real-time applications including

VoIP or TDM transport. The UGS pre-scheduled grants guarantee reserved bandwidth

and reduce latency introduced by repetitive grant requests. The service flow will not

transmit packets larger than nominal grant interval.

2.3.4 Downlink Service Flow Scheduling

The base station schedules downlink traffic on active service flows based on the

minimum reserved data rate (CIR), traffic priority, and maximum latency.

IP address settings. The following table lists all commands available in this mode.

Table 15: CLI - ipAddress - IP Address Commands

Command Description

set Change IP address parameter settings.

Address: IP address assigned to subscriber. Static address only.

Mask: 255.255.255.0

Structure --- <<SS IP Address Data>>

Address:............192.168.25.100

Mask:...............255.255.255.0

reset Reset the IP address to factory default. Requires confirmation.

Local Ethernet Port (Secondary Management) IP

All factory-shipped subscriber systems have the following IP addresses assigned to the

local Ethernet port:

Fixed: 192.168.101.1 (well-known, can not be modified)

Default: 192.168.101.2 (can be modified using CLI)

Over-the Air (Secondary Management) IP

When a subscriber is enabled for remote management (managedSS=1) its over-the-air

secondary management IP address can be assigned only through the base station acting as

a DHCP relay agent. The DHCP server and a Time-of-Day (ToD) server (specified in the

obtained lease) must be located on the network connected to the base station Ethernet

port. The subscriber can not use any DHCP or ToD server on the network connected

directly to the subscriber Ethernet port.

The DHCP exchange includes a request for the address of a ToD server, and the time

offset (option 2) specifying the time zone where the subscriber is operating (seconds from

GMT). After the subscriber acquires a DHCP lease time, it attempts to contact the ToD

server. If successful, the subscriber updates the system clock with the received time. If a

ToD server cannot be reached the subscriber initializes its system clock to the default

time of midnight January 1, 1970 GMT.

DHCP Issues

The subscriber does not keep a record of the previously assigned IP, and the IP request

field is empty during its initial request. If the lease has expired since the last time the

subscriber requested an address the DHCP server may assign a new IP address. You can

ensure that your subscriber will always receive the same IP by 1) making the lease

timeout indefinite, or 2) creating a static address reservation for your subscriber (if your

DHCP server supports these features).

show Show the current setting for all parameters.

Notes:

1. Refer to Section 1 of this document for restrictions on power or frequency settings.

2. Scanning ranges must not intersect or overlap. When changing settings, the order of data

entry must ensure the 'Hi' setting is always greater than the 'Lo' setting. For example, when

changing from the default setting 'Hi=0, Lo=0' you must enter the Hi setting first.

3. When specifying a single channel, enter the RF frequency in the 'Hi' setting, and then enter

the identical value in the 'Lo' setting.

Frequency scanning

Frequency scanning is performed in 250 KHz steps, monitoring each step for

approximately four seconds. The subscriber will always complete the entire scan for all

non-zero ranges. If all ranges are zero, the subscriber will scan the entire 200 MHz range

of the radio (approx. 55 minutes). During the scan, the subscriber compiles a table of

detected base stations (filtered by the bsIdTable entries) and orders the results based on

signal level (CINR). Once the scan is completed, the table is saved in non-volatile RAM

(preserved through subscriber reboot/power-cycle).

A frequency scan is triggered by any of the following events:

RedMAX™ Subscriber Modem

SU-I User Manual

Page 38 of 50

i) The RF parameters are modified.

ii) The bsIdTable (allowed base station list) is modified.

iii) There are no base stations in the scanning results table.

Following any of the events listed above, the subscriber attempts to register with the first

base station in the scanning results table. Once registered, the subscriber remains

connected to that base station. If the connection to the base station is lost while the

subscriber is online (e.g., base station rebooted), that base station is removed from the

scanning results table. As required, the subscriber attempts to register with the next base

station in the scanning results table, removing the entry if it can not register with that

base station.

1. You must obtain the latest subscriber binary files.

2. The subscriber performs all software upgrades using an FTP server:

a) The FTP server must be located on the network connected to an active

Ethernet port (Data or Mgmt) on the base station, or on the Ethernet port

of the subscriber (i.e., laptop).

b) You must copy the binary files into the default file location for the FTP

server. You can not specify a 'path' in the upgrade dialog.

c) The FTP server must have a user defined as follows:

username: target

password: secret
