R1 Protocol Stack Overview Figure 17 illustrates a schematic diagram of R1 Interface Protocol Stack. Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 29 ZXMBW R9100 Technical Manual FIGURE 17 R1 INTERFACE PROTOCOL STACK The R1 interface protocol stack includes MAC Layer and PHY Layer. MAC Layer of R1 Protocol Stack Description MAC layer of R1 protocol stack contains three sub-layers (from top to bottom); Service-Specific Convergence Sub-layer (CS), MAC Common Part Sub-layer (MAC CPS) and Security Sub-layer. 1. Service-Specific Convergence Sub-layer (CS) Different protocol interfaces provide different CS specifications. The function of Service-Specific Convergence Sub-layer (CS) is to convert/map the external data received by the Convergence Sub-layer Service Access Point (CS SAP) into MAC Service Data Unit (MAC SDU) and send it to the MAC CPS through the MAC Service Access Point (MAC SAP). The other function of this layer is to sort external SDUs associated with suitable Service Flow Identifier (SFID), Connection Identifier (CID) and Payload Header Suppression (PHS). 2. MAC Common Part Sub-layer (MAC CPS) MAC CPS does not need to analyze the load information of the CS. MAC CPS realizes the core function of the MAC layer including bandwidth distribution, connection establishment and connection maintenance. It receives data of different CS layers through MAC SAP and sort them based on different MAC connection. Quality of Service (QoS) is applied in data transmission and scheduling of physical layer. Data, PHY control information and statistical information between the MAC CPS and PHY is transmitted through PHY SAP. 3. Security Sub-layer MAC contains an independent security sub-layer to provide authentication, security key exchange and realize encryption. 30 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION Chapter 3 Protocol Interface Description PHY Layer of R1 Protocol Stack Description The PHY layer of R1 protocol stack contains multiple regulations. Each regulation corresponds to a specific frequency range and application. The PHY layer of R1 protocol stack is based on the modulating mode of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM).

OBSAI Frame Structure Overview The three layers of an Open Base Station Architecture Initiative (OBSAI) frame are Message Frame, Message Group (MG) and Master Frame. Message Frame Message Frame is the basic unit of an OBSAI . The total length of the frame is 19 bytes, and is composed of address, type, time stamp (T-Stamp) and payload. Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 31 ZXMBW R9100 Technical Manual Figure 18 illustrates message frame format. FIGURE 18 MESSAGE FRAME FORMAT Table 10 shows the length of each part of a message frame. TABLE 10 MESSAGE FRAME’S FIELD LENGTH Message Group (MG) Field Name Length (bits) Address 13 Type Time stamp (T-Stamp) Payload 128 Total length 152 (19 bytes) Each MG contains M_MG pieces of message and K_MG pieces of IDLE code. The number of bytes in a MG is M_MG * 19 + K_MG = 21*19+1 = 400 (Bytes). Figure 19 illustrates the structure of MG. FIGURE 19 MESSAGE GROUP STRUCTURE A RP3 frame contains N_MG pieces of MG and the length is (I * N_MG * (M_MG * 19 bytes + K_MG * 1)). I is the rate level (1, 2, 4). The recommended standards are M_MG = 21, K_MG = 1 and N_MG = 1920. Master Frame The number of bytes in a Master Frame (10 ms) are I * 1920 * 400 = I * 768000 (Bytes), where I = 1, 2, 4. OBSAI supports 3 kinds of rate levels: 1x, 2x, and 4x. Figure 20 illustrates frame format under each rate level. 32 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION Chapter 3 Protocol Interface Description FIGURE 20 MASTER FRAME FORMAT The master frame under the 3 rate levels is 10 ms. The line rate is: (I * 768000/10 ms) * 8 * 10/8 = I * 768 Mbps. For 1x, 2x and 4x, the rate are 768 Mbps, 1536 Mbps and 3072 Mbps respectively. The usual optical modules are of 1.25 G and 2.5 G and cannot suit the above values. Therefore, the standard rate of OBSAI is adjusted to M_MG = 42, K_MG = 2, N_MG = 768 to realize the 1x rate of 614.4 Mbps, 2x rate of 1228.8 Mbps and 4x rate of 2457.6 Mbps. Therefore, transmission can be realized in 1.25 G and 2.5 G optical modules.
