Radio
The instrument transmits radio energy during normal operation. To avoid possible harmful exposure to this energy, do not
stand or work for extended periods of time in front of its antenna. The long-term characteristics or the possible
physiological effects of radio frequency electromagnetic fields have not yet been fully investigated.
Outdoor Units and Antennas Installation and Grounding
Ensure that outdoor units, antennas and supporting structures are properly installed to eliminate any physical hazard to
either people or property. Make sure that the installation of the outdoor unit, antenna and cables is performed in accordance
with all relevant national and local building and safety codes. Even where grounding is not mandatory according to
applicable regulation and national codes, it is highly recommended to ensure that the outdoor unit and the antenna mast are
grounded and suitable lightning protection devices are used so as to provide protection against voltage surges and static
charges. In any event, Telrad Networks is not liable for any injury, damage or regulation violations associated with or
caused by installation, grounding or lightning protection.
Transmitter Antenna
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique
à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la
puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à
l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
This radio transmitter IC:899A-COMPACT3X has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types
listed in Section 1.4.7 below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type
indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are

The following sections describe each of these topologies.
1.1.3.1 Single Sector, Single Carrier
This is the basic configuration based on a single BS that supports a single sector 4 Tx/4 Rx with bandwidth of 5, 7, 10 &
20MHz (LTE). This configuration is recommended for achieving the aggregated power of 4 Tx ports as well as improved
diversity in Tx and Rx. This configuration is common for three-sector sites with a frequency reuse of 3.
Figure 2: Single Sector, Single Carrier
1.1.3.2 Single Sector, Dual Carrier
Two BSs support a single sector using two different carriers with a total bandwidth of 20 (10+10), 14 (7+7) or 10 (5+5)
MHz. The BreezeCOMPACT is connected to one 4x4 antenna. Each carrier can be configured for a different frequency.
Upon setting this mode, the load-balancing function balances according to the number of subscribers.
INFORMATIO
N
In the current release, BreezeCOMPACT1000 and 3000 support all three topologies.
Note that BreezeCOMPACT2000 supports only the first topology (Single Sector, Single Carrier).

Figure 3: Single Sector, Dual Carrier
1.1.3.3 Two Sectors, Two Carriers (One Carrier per Sector)
Two BSs support two sectors, each with a bandwidth of 5, 7 or 10 MHz. Each sector is connected to a different 2x2 antenna
directed to two sectors.
This configuration is commonly used with frequency reuse 2, where the two antennas connected to the BreezeCOMPACT
are located back to back. This configuration is not applicable for BreezeCOMPACT2000.
Figure 4: Two Sectors, Two Carriers
1.1.4 Antennas
In the system architecture, the antenna is approached as an independent element. This provides the operator with the
flexibility to select the antenna’s source according to its supplier policy. To ensure the availability of antennas that
complement the solution, Telrad works closely with several antenna suppliers to ensure availability of antennas that comply
with its requirements.
In cases where the operator prefers other antenna vendors, Telrad can provide a recommended antenna specification based
on the required antenna types.
Antennas may support mechanical down-tilt (MDT) using a suitable mounting kit, or electrical down-tilt (EDT) that may be
either fixed or adjustable using a special adjustment screw.
In addition to a range of standard commercial antennas, Telrad also offers a special attached antenna designed for convenient
installation on top of the BreezeCOMPACT unit. For the BreezeCOMPACT unit, a special mounting kit allows installation
of a standard antenna on top of the unit to minimize the space required for installation.
For details about the antennas offered by Telrad, refer to “Antennas” on page 28.

1.1.5 GPS
GPS is used to synchronize the air link frames of Intra-site and Inter-site located BTSs, in order to ensure that in all Base
Stations, the air frame will start at the same time, and that all Base Stations switch from transmit (downlink) to receive
(uplink) at the same time. This synchronization is necessary to prevent Intra-site and Inter-site interference and Base Station
saturation (assuming that all Base Stations are operating with the same frame size and with the same downlink/uplink ratio).
The all-outdoor GPS Receiver is a pole-mountable GPS receiver and antenna in a single environmentally protected enclosure
that is powered from the unit.
From R5.0 and up, GPS Chaining is supported, where the chaining enables use of a single GPS receiver for several
collocated units. The figure below describes the GPS chaining connectivity.

1.2.1 TelCore
The TelCore solution is based on MC-ASN-GW for WiMAX and MC-EPC for LTE. TelCore includes a AAA solution for
WiMAX and LTE.
1.2.1.1 Mini-centralized ASN-GW
The MC-ASN-GW is a separate entity (centralized architecture) that communicates with the BTS over an R6 interface. The
MC-ASN-GW is a highly scalable solution that can be deployed as a standalone solution or as Cluster, including load
balancing and geo-redundancy that has MC-ASN-GW clusters in different locations. The unique architecture accommodates
a pay-as-you-grow solution that enables you to start with a minimal number of MC-ASN-GW units and increase them as
subscriptions grow.

3.2 Monitor Program
3.2.1 Accessing the Monitor Program
To access the Monitor program using Telnet:
1Via the Local Management interface:
Direct local management using the Monitor program can be performed via the Local Management interface. The
default local management IP address is 172.31.0.1, and the default Subnet Mask for this address is 255.255.255.0.
The PC used for accessing the Monitor program should be set to IP address 172.31.0.4 or any other address in the
range 172.31.0.4–172.31.0.254.
Connect the PC to the Ethernet port used for Local Management. In the current release, the Local Management
interface is always on the DAT3 port.
Run the Telnet program connecting to IP address 172.31.0.1.
The Enter the password message is displayed. Enter the password and press the Enter key to get to the Main menu.
The default password is installer.
2Via the External Management interface:
Management using either SNMP or the Monitor program can also be performed via the External Management
interface. For details about the connectivity parameters of this interface, refer to “IP Interfaces” on page 53.
See “L1 & L2” on page 56 for details about the Ethernet port used for the External Management interface.
Connection of the applicable Ethernet port to the remote management device should typically be performed via a
network device configured to support the External Management interface VLAN ID (the default is 12).
If the PC is connected to the Ethernet port of the unit via a switching device, the IP address of the PC should be set
to an address in the subnet of the External Management interface. The default is IP address 192.168.1.1 and Subnet
Mask 255.255.255.0.
If access is via a routing device, configure the Next Hop Gateway parameter of the External Management interface
(the default is 0.0.0.0, meaning none) to a valid value (in the subnet of the External Management interface). Set the
IP address of the routing device’s port connected to the unit to the address of the Next Hop Gateway. Set the IP
address of the PC according to the IP configuration of the relevant routing device’s port.
To manage the BreezeCOMPACT from an external network, configure the SNMP trap manager to enable
auto-routing to the remote PC.
Run the Telnet program connecting to the IP address of the External Management interface.

3.5.2.4 ASN-GW Load Balancing Pools
The Load Balancing feature provides a WiMAX operator with the capability to build a resilient ASN infrastructure using
ASN-GW redundancy. Every BS is provisioned with two lists of redundant ASN-GWs (pools). The BS applies a
round-robin mechanism in order to pick an Authenticator for each MS that performs an initial network entry (for more
details, refer to “ASN-GW Load Balancing” on page 84). This should eventually distribute the load between Anchor
ASN-GWs. Geographical site backup can be achieved by using different priorities 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
inherits these pools.
The ASN-GW Load Balancing Pools submenu includes two options: Primary Pool and Secondary Pool. Select the Primary
or Secondary Pool option to view or update the pool’s content. The options available for each pool are:
Show: Select this option to view the current content of the pool.
Add: Select this option to add an ASN-GW address to the pool (up to a maximum of 10 addresses per pool). You will be
prompted to define the Index for the entry (a unique number in the range from 1 to 10) before defining the IP address.
An IP address must be unique for both pools. Broadcast and Multicast addresses are not legal. By default, both pools are
empty.
Select: Use this option to select an existing entry in the pool by its Index. You can then view the entry’s IP address,
update the IP address or delete the entry.
Note that you should not populate the Secondary Pool if the Primary Pool is empty. Also, you should not delete all entries
from the Primary Pool if the Secondary Pool is not empty.
A change in the content of the pools takes effect after the next reset.
3.5.2.5 QoS Marking Rules
The QoS Marking Rules option enables you to view or update the values of 802.1P Priority and/or DSCP marking for
outgoing external management traffic.

3.5.3.1 Monitor Inactivity Timeout
The Monitor Inactivity Timeout (in minutes) parameter determines the amount of inactive time following which the unit
automatically exits the Monitor program.
The timeout duration can range from 0 to 60 minutes. 0 means no inactivity timeout.
The default value is 10 minutes.
3.5.3.2 SW Version Control
The BTS can contain two software versions:
Operational: Each time the BTS resets it reboots using the version defined as Operational.
Shadow: Normally the Shadow version is the backup version. Each time a new software file is downloaded to the BTS,
it is stored as a Shadow version, replacing the previous Shadow Version.
The typical process of upgrading to a new software version includes the following steps:
1Download the new software file to the BTS. It is stored as the Shadow version.
2Reset and run the BTS from its Shadow version. Note that at this stage, if a reset occurs, the BTS returns 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 is used each time the BTS reboots. The previous version is defined now as
Shadow.

3.7.2.1.6 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 back-haul network.
The Idle Mode (IM) mechanism enables an MS to become unavailable on the air interface, thus freeing operational resources
and preserving MS power. During IM operation, an MS switches off its transmission and reception capabilities, and becomes
available for DL broadcast control messaging, such as MS Paging, in a periodic manner. Using a paging broadcast, the BS
can indicate, if necessary, for 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 a Paging Group (PG). In the current release, each Paging
Group includes a single BS.
During IM, the MS performs location updates when moving from one PG to another. While in the same PG, the 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 is from 0 to 65535. 0 means that Idle Mode is not enabled. If Idle Mode is enabled (Paging Group ID is not 0), the
value should be unique in the Radio Access Network (different Paging Group ID for each BS). Idle Mode should be either
enabled in all units in the network (Paging Group ID other than 0) or disabled in all units (Paging Group ID = 0). A
combination in the same Radio Access Network of units with Paging Group ID of 0 (Idle Mode disabled) and units with
Paging Group ID other than 0 (Idle Mode enabled) should be avoided.
A change in the Paging Group ID takes effect after the next reset.

3.7.2.2.3 DL Diversity Mode
The DL Diversity Mode option includes the DL Diversity Mode parameter. In the current release, only Matrix A or B is
supported.
In MIMO Matrix A or B mode, the system can use either MIMO Matrix A or MIMO Matrix B. The selection between
Matrix A and Matrix B is performed automatically for each MS according to link conditions and supported MS capabilities,
as follows:
MIMO Matrix A for Coverage Gain: In a 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 (for example, 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, when signal conditions are good, the data rate
is increased and in excellent conditions may be doubled.

3.7.2.5.4 Ducting Mitigation Mode
Sudden changes in the atmosphere's moisture and temperature profiles can on random occasions make radio signals
propagate hundreds of kilometers and even more, far beyond the normal radio horizon. When a BS suffers from such
tropospheric ducting phenomena, which causes reception of a relatively strong signal transmitted by a very far BTS, the
Ducting Mitigation feature enables increasing the time period between DL and UL transmissions to reduce potential
interference effects. This is achieved by adding DL Silenced Symbols and, if necessary, changing the number of Extra TTG
slots (see below). This results in reducing the actual UL Duration by 1 slot (Medium Ducting Mitigation Mode) or 2 slots
(High Ducting Mitigation Mode) without affecting the number of DL symbols (for the same combination of Configured
Total Uplink Duration and Maximum Cell Radius).
Note that for certain values of configured Total Uplink Duration, the High and/or Medium options are not available since the
minimum uplink duration is 4 slots for a BS bandwidth of 5/10 MHz or 3 slots for a BS bandwidth of 7 MHz.
The options are None, Medium or High.
The default is None.

At the BTS level, up to two pools (with different priorities), each with up to 10 ASN-GWs, can be defined (see “ASN-GW
Load Balancing Pools” on page 58). The BS inherits these pools. It should be noted that the ASN-GW defined in the BS as
the Default Authenticator is automatically added to the Primary Pool that is the higher priority pool (even though it is not
shown as belonging to the pool).
At the BS level, you can enable/disable the use of each of the two pools. The Secondary Pool can be enabled only if the
Primary Pool is enabled and includes at least one entry. Note that if both pools are disabled, or if the enabled pool(s) is/are
empty, the ASN-GW load-balancing feature is disabled and only the Default Authenticator is used.

3.7.2.8 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 scheduled in a fair manner that is 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.
Assuming a sector with diversity (different channels conditions) of active users, an ET scheme enables higher aggregate
sector throughput at the expense of data-rate fairness among users, while an ER scheduling scheme ensures maximum
data-rate fairness among users at the expense of lower aggregate sector throughput.
Using an 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 must 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 is 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 allocation limitations are 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 the 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 you to view/update the values configured for the following parameters:
Scheduler Mode
Scheduler DL Abuse Protection Level
Scheduler UL Abuse Protection Level
3.7.2.8.1 Scheduler Mode
The basis for allocating excess bandwidth among relevant users is as follows:
Equal Rate: Throughput Fairness
Equal Time: Resource Fairness
The selected mode applies for both uplink and downlink schedulers.
The default is Equal Rate.

3.11 Spectrum Analyzer
Spectrum Analyzer functionality was built for the installer and the radio planner to decide for each sector, once deployed, the
best RF channel to define for the BreezeCOMPACT. This function is critical in unlicensed spectra, such as in 3.65 GHz – 3.7
GHz in the US and Canada, where other transmitting devices may interfere with the BreezeCOMPACT.
The Spectrum Analysis feature enables you to determine the noise characteristics per channel. This enables the construction
of a relatively noise-free working environment. When the Spectrum Analyzer feature is activated, the unit enters a passive
scanning mode for a period of time during which information is gathered. The scanned channels are the channels comprising
a selected subset.
Upon activating the spectrum analysis, the unit automatically shuts down the RF ports. During the information-gathering
period, the unit does not receive nor transmit data. It also cannot synchronize/associate, meaning that it cannot be managed
via the wireless link. At the end of the period, the user should configure the system for normal operation.
3.11.1 Enable/Disable
By entering the BS number (Sector 1 or Sector 2), the user can disable or enable Spectrum Analyzer functionality. Upon
enabling the function, the Tx ports stop transmitting.
