Edition 3.0
Notes:
Multiservice aggregation layer - the capacity to use Ethernet as a common transmission layer to
transport any kind of traffic, independently by the type of interface. Ethernet becomes the convergence
layer.
Service awareness - traffic handling and quality management, queuing traffic according to the type
of
service assigned, independently by the type of interface
Packet node - no service aggregation limits with all traffic aggregated in packets, in term of: capacity,
type of service requirements and type of interface
Service-driven adaptive modulation- fully exploit the air bandwidth in its entirety by changing
modulation scheme according to the propagation availability and allocate transport capacity, discriminating
traffic by different services, only possible in a packet-based environment

Edition 3.0
Notes:
9500 MPR aggregates and carries over a COMMON PACKET LAYER: TDM 2G, 3G, LTE and IP/Ethernet.
This allows sharing of common packet transmission infrastructures, regardless of the nature of carried traffic.
Due to the nature of Ethernet, each service can be discriminated based on several parameters like quality of
service.
Mapping different access technologies over Ethernet is achieved by standardized protocols like circuit
emulation and pseudo-wire.
R99 - original standard for UMTS WCDMA based networks
ISAM (Indexed Sequential Access Method) - a method for indexing data for fast retrieval
WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) interface standard found in 3G mobile
telecommunications networks.
WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) - telecommunications protocol that provides fixed
and mobile Internet access
HSDPA (High Speed Data Packet Access) - add on to R99/UMTS networks which adds a shared high speed
downlink packet channel
UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System 3rd generation mobile cellular technology for GSMbased networks.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
Service awareness means the ability to discriminate the different traffic types carried over the converged
Ethernet stream. Our traffic flow can be composed of E1, E3, STM-1, ATM, DS1, DS3, and/or IP/Eth, coming
from different sources, and therefore having different requirements. For instance, DS1 or ATM traffic from a
3G base station can carry voice (high priority, real time service) and data (lower priority and possibly non
real time with high variability load, such as internet browsing, music download or video streaming).
Service awareness is what allows identifying the traffic types, and in the case of non real time variable bit
rate one, optimize the band with overbooking of the radio scarce resource.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
9500 MPR offers a SINGLE PACKET MATRIX able to switch, aggregate and handle any of the possible
incoming traffic types with virtually no capacity limits (up to 10 GB/s).
Note: The TDM can be also E3.
The MSS can also provide Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) and metallic uplinks.
Packets can be transported over Ethernet or PDH in any direction, avoiding service aggregation bottlenecks
in terms of capacity, service types and interface types.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
Traffic with high priority will always have bandwidth available, like voice (deterministic approach)
Broadband traffic is discriminated by QoS dynamically, with modulation scheme changes driven by
propagation conditions.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
This true packet product is not based on TDM (circuit-based) technology, so it efficiently transports multimedia
traffic by handling packets natively while still supporting legacy TDM. It also adapts packets to the air
conditions and quality required by different service types. This product improves packet aggregation, increases
bandwidth, and optimizes Ethernet connectivity.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
9500 MPR in the stand alone (zero-footprint) architecture is built by only one unit for Ethernet applications:
Outdoor Unit.
Outdoor Unit is connected to the MPLS metro networks equipment with one coaxial cable for the power
supply and one Ethernet optical or electrical cable (with MPT).
9500 MPR in the split mount architecture is built by two separate units:
MSS (Microwave Service Switch): indoor unit for split mount and stand alone configurations (Ethernet
uplink)
Outdoor Unit.
MSS and Outdoor Unit are connected with a single standard coaxial cable (with ODU300) or with one
coaxial cable for the power supply and one Ethernet optical or electrical cable (with MPT).
Up to 6 ODU300 can be connected to an MSS-8

Up to 18 MPT can be connected to an MSS-8. Up to 8 can be powered directly by the MSS-8 shelf.
Up to 14 MPT can be connected to an MSS-4

Edition 3.0

Edition 3.0
Notes:
Link Aggregation groups a set of ports so that two network nodes can be interconnected using
multiple links to increase link capacity and availability between them.
When aggregated, two or more physical links operate as a single logical link with a traffic
capacity that is the sum of the individual link capacities.
This doubling, tripling or quadrupling of capacity is relevant where more capacity is required
than can be provided on one physical link.
Link aggregation also provides redundancy between the aggregated links. If a link fails, its
traffic is redirected onto the remaining link, or links.
If the remaining link or links do not have the capacity needed to avoid a traffic bottleneck,
appropriate QoS settings are used to prioritize traffic so that all high priority traffic continues to
get through.
The Link Aggregation is performed according to 802.3ad and can be applied to Radio ports and
to User Ethernet ports.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
The 9500 MPR Node supports up to 18 RF links for operation on the same or different frequency bands using
the MSS-8.
The ODU for each link is connected to a plug-in card inside the site aggregator.
Other plug-in cards provide line interface access (TDM and native IP), management, and so on.
9500 MPR Node supports a mix of non-protected and protected or diversity operation for single link, repeater or
star radio configurations.

Notes:
MPT-HC V2 is similar to MPT-HC from architecture standpoint and can be used as spare part of the MPT-HC.
The differences are:
MPT-HC V2 can be natively Ethernet powered through a proprietary PFoE (or as alternative by using two
cables, one coaxial cable for the Power Supply and one optical cable for the Ethernet Traffic (as MPT-HC).
MPT-HC V2 is XPIC-ready (by the installation of a dedicated module).

Edition 3.0
Notes:
By using the optional DC Extractor, installed close to the MPT-HC, the interconnection between the MSS and
the MPT-HC can be made with a single electrical Ethernet cable by using the Power Feed over Ethernet
(Ethernet traffic and Power Supply on the same cable).
The DC Extractor then separates the Power Supply from the Ethernet traffic, which are separately send to
the MPT-HC.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
TDM to TDM This is the typical service associated to a traditional TDM network in which E1/T1
traffic is transported, switched and terminated inside a MPR network.
TDM to ETH This is the service allowing the TDM traffic to be aggregated and output in a
single ETH stream. On this service specific algorithms are applied in order the E1/T1 is
transported, switched and provided to an external ETH network in standard format (MEF-8).
SDH to SDH This is the typical service associated to a traditional SDH transport network. STM1 traffic is transparently transported, switched and terminated inside a MPR network.
ETH to ETH (ETSI) DATA (ANSI) This is not a real CES due to the native IP architecture of
MPR. Ethernet traffic is directly managed by the L2 switch on the Core board, thanks to the autolearning algorithm, VLANs etc.
ATM to ATM (ETSI) This profile allows the management of the ATM services inside a 9500
MPR network. E1s IMA/ATM are terminated/reconstructed at the borders of the 9500 MPR cloud;
encapsulation/extraction of ATM streams into/from ATM PW packets is performed according to
RFC 4717.
ATM to ETH (ETSI) This profile allows the ATM service to be terminated and encapsulated
into an Ethernet stream towards an IP/MPLS Core Network.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
Definition: This service identifies a flow inside MPR network, in which E1/T1 is transported,
switched and terminated.
Application: Typical microwave 2G backhauling application, in which E1/T1s are terminated

before entering into aggregation network.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
Definition: E1/T1 TDM input signals are packetized according to MEF8 standard; E1/T1s are

Edition 3.0
Notes:
Case 1 for E1/T1 (TDM2TDM over MPR network)
The E1/T1 stream is inserted in Node 1 and extracted in Node 2. In this case the two IWFs used to
packetize the traffic for the Ethernet switch in the Core-E module are both internal to the 9500 MPR network.
The Circuit Emulation Service is TDM2TDM in Node 1 and Node 2. The Cross connections are PDH-Radio
type.
Case 1 for STM-1 (SDH2SDH)
The STM-1 stream is inserted in Node 1 and extracted in Node 2. In this case the two IWFs used to
packetize the traffic for the Ethernet switch in the Core-E module are both internal to the 9500 MPR network.
The Circuit Emulation Service is SDH2SDH in Node 1 and Node 2. The Cross connections are SDH-Radio type.
Case 2 (TDM2Eth)

second IWF is external to the 9500 MPR-E network. The Circuit Emulation Service is TDM2ETH in Node 1 and
Node 2. The Cross connections are PDH-Radio type in Node 1 and Radio-Eth type in Node 2.
Case 3 (TDM2Eth)
The E1/T1 stream is inserted/extracted in Node 1. One IWF is inside the 9500 MPR, but the second IWF is
external to the 9500 MPR network. The Circuit Emulation Service is TDM2ETH in Node 1 and Node 2. The
Cross connections to be implemented are PDH-Eth type in Node 1.
Edition 3.0
Notes:
Cases 4 and 5 (ETH2ETH)
In these cases Ethernet packets enter Node 1 and are extracted in Node 2. In case 4 the Ethernet packets
encapsulate the E1 stream; in case 5 the packets are native Ethernet packets. None of the IWFs belongs to
the 9500 MPR network. The Circuit Emulation Service is ETH2ETH in Node 1 and Node 2. No Cross
connections must be implemented. The path is automatically implemented with the standard auto-learning
algorithm of the 9500 MPR Ethernet switch.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
The table summarizes the actions taken for specific reserved multicast addresses. Frames identified with
these destination addresses are handled uniquely since they are designed for Layer 2 Control Protocols.
The actions taken by the system can be:
Discard - The system discards all ingress Ethernet frames and must not generate any egress Ether-net
Frame carrying the reserved multicast address.
Forward - The system accepts all ingress Ethernet frames as standard multicast frames and for-wards
them accordingly.
Peer - The system acts as a peer of the connected device in the operation of the relevant Layer 2 Control
Protocol.

Edition 3.0

Edition 3.0
Notes:
9500MPR uses a Connection Admission Control (CAC) for committed services and two schedulers in
series (on Core embedded L2 switch and on Radio peripheral)
The two schedulers need to jointly interoperate to guarantee determistic behavior of the services
The QoS function inside 9500 MPR-E is the result of a distributed implementation in the switch in the Core-E
unit and Radio Interface unit. Both those QoS functions are properly configured in order to get the wished
behavior on Ethernet flows that will be transmitted towards the Radio.
The QoS configuration is the same for all the involved units:
Core-E
EAS
Modem unit (to interface the ODU300)
MPT-HC/MPT-HC V2/MPT-XP/MPT-MC

Edition 3.0
Notes:
In the figure is shown an overview of the QoS implementation inside the Core-E unit and Modem unit which
is used to interface the ODU300.
The QoS feature provides eight internal queues to support different traffic priorities. The QoS function can
assign the packet to one of the eight egress transmit queues.
Queue 8 is assigned to TDM2TDM traffic (fixed assignment)

Queue 7 is assigned to TDM2Eth traffic (fixed assignment)
Queue 6 is assigned to TMN (fixed assignment)
Queues 1 to 5 are assigned to Ethernet traffic according to the information inside the packet as 802.1p
field or DiffServ field.

Edition 3.0

Edition 3.0

Edition 3.0
Notes:
In case the configuration of radio interfaces changes from 1+0 to 1+1, the Radio QoS of Spare
interface takes the queue sizes of the Radio QoS of Main interface. The previous configuration of
queue sizes of the Radio QoS of Spare interface is lost.
In case of the configuration of radio interfaces changes from 1+1 to 1+0, the Radio QoS of Main
interface maintains the previous configuration of queue sizes, while the Spare interface takes the
default queue sizes according to the configured Modem Profile.
When a radio port is added to the L1 LAG port, all custom QoS and queue size configuration is
lost.
When a radio port is removed from a L1 LAG port, the NE QoS settings are applied to the radio
port. The queue sizes are set to the default values.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
In order to give an estimation of the maximum delay, that an Ethernet frame can experience
when entering the specific queue in case of congestion of radio interface, the WebEML shows a
read-only value, which is the queue size configured by the operator converted in a time value
(msec).

Edition 3.0
Notes:
The weights can be changed, from the WebEML user interface.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
It is recommended to forward the jumbo frame only in the queue Q1 (lower priority).

Edition 3.0

Edition 3.0

Edition 3.0

Edition 3.0
Notes:
In this example, user traffic is split up into radio channels. Main advantages:
Throughput. The overall radio Ethernet throughput is more than 1 Gbit/sec (4 x 350 Mbit/s,
being this the value for 256QAM@56 MHz)
Protection. In case of a failure of one of the three channels, all the traffic is redirected on
the remaining link (with a throughput of around 0.35 Gbit/sec). The discarded or dropped
traffic is the one with lower priority: high priority traffic is still running on the remaining
active channels.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
In Layer1 Link Aggregation, the Distributor performs a packet-based traffic distribution over
multiple links regardless of the content of the packets.
The Distributor takes into account the number of bytes sent over a specific link and loads links
according to the available bandwidth. As a consequence, Layer1 Link Aggregation allows a traffic
load balancing independently of traffic content. Since the distribution does not depend on Layer2
or Layer3 header content, this kind of Link Aggregation is called Layer1 (i.e., associated to the
physical layer).

Edition 3.0
Notes:
The following radio configurations are supported:
1+0 MPT-HC connected to P8ETH SFP port

1+0 MPT-HL connected to P8ETH SFP port
1+1 MPT-HL connected to P8ETH SFP port

Notes:
With MSS-1c and with MPR-e the SSM are transparency forwarded in most of the configurations.

Edition 3.0

Edition 3.0
Notes:
On the radio channel, a 9500 MPR transfers the reference clock to an adjacent MPR device through the radio
carrier frequency at physical layer.
This method offers two main advantages:
No bandwith is consumed for the synchronization distribution,

Total immunity to the network load.
End-to-end scenarios where time-of-day/phase alignment are requested are fully supported, as 1588 PTP v2
is carried transparently by MPR across the microwave backhauling network.
Both for Hybrid and Packet working modes, the Clock can be received at hand-off or delivered at the cell site.
Synch-Eth, E1, PDH and BITS clock modes are available.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
The availability of the Clock in the Network represents the most common scenario, characterized by a time
source available at the ingress of the microwave backhauling network, derived from the primary reference
clock.
Synchronization (frequency) is delivered to the cell site using any of the options available on MPR, depending
on the operators need. Worth repeating ingress and egress methods can be mixed (i.e. Synch-Eth at the
ingress, E1/T1 at the egress) via a simple configuration.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
9500 MPR has an embedded reference clock which is distributed to each board of the network element.
Such clock is generated in the Clock Reference Unit (CRU) of the core unit (controller).

Edition 3.0
Notes:
Differential: used in case of clock distribution on the whole network. Its more reliable than Adaptive; also
used in TDM2TDM traffic (MPR to MPR).
Adaptive: simpler network, but performances depends on the PDV (Packet Delay Variation) in the Network.
Always used when the reference clock isnt distributed on the whole network.
Node Timing: this feature (called either network clock re-timing or node timing or, according to G. 8261
wording, network-synchronous operation for service clock) introduces an additional possibility to recover E1
clock.
Node timing is a way to recover TDM clock quite popular in the industry of service routers and site
aggregator boxes. This feature inside the 9500 MPR platform is adding interworking capabilities with
third parties service routers and circuit emulations gateway.
In node-timing working mode, all the E1s are re-sampled with the network element clock. This means
that, as also reported in G8261, this method does not preserve the service timing (E1 clock).
Recovered E1 clock is according to G. 823 synchronization masks.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
In meshed networks (rings) do not close the synchronization configuration.
If the NODE TIMING is enabled, the CT still propose the possible selection between ACR and
DCR: in this specific case, the meaning of this option is not related to the clock recovery
algorithms but rather to the MRF8 frame format.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
Differential clock recovery
Common reference clock IS available at both Ends.

IWF system, at RX side, generate output clock based on RTP TimeStamps which are sent together with
each Fragments.
Adaptative clock recovery
Common reference clock is NOT available at both Ends.

IWF system, at RX side, generate output clock based on data arrival rate: TDM clock is slowly adjusted
to maintain the average fill level of a jitter buffer at its midpoint.

Edition 3.0

Edition 3.0

Edition 3.0

Edition 3.0
Notes:
Each Module will mute its own Synchronization clock in case of Fail Alarm.
The Signal Degrade Alarm relevant to the selected Synchronization Source, or the relevant Card
Fail, causes the switching of the Synchronization Source.
For each available sync source, the CRU detects the signal Degrade Alarm on each available sync
source. Such Signal Degrade alarm raises also in case of muted (missing) clock.

Edition 3.0

Edition 3.0
Notes:
Based on packet technology with 7 GbEth serial internal interfaces between Core-E and peripherals
(jumbo frames 9728 bytes allowed)
The Ethernet ports of the Core-E can be configured in two ways:

to be used as GigaEthernet interface for Ethernet traffic (Note: for port#5 and port#6 the optional
SFP must be installed);
to be used to connect an MPT: MPT-HC (ETSI), MPT-HCV2,
or MPT-MC (ETSI) to port#1 to
port#4; an MPT-HC only to port#5 and port#6.
The Core-E unit has the option to equip two SFPs (in port #5, port #6). These ports can be also used
to connect directly an MPT-HC/MPT-HCV2.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
The CSM-E/Core-E consists of microprocessor and Ethernet switch circuits. The Ethernet Switch
provides a Quality of Service (QOS) mechanism to control all streams.
If QoS is disabled, all traffic inside the switch has the same priority. This means that for each switch
port there is only one queue, first in, first out (FIFO)
Three QoS settings in GUI are available as follows:
Disabled
DiffServ priorities are based on one of eight tags, each identifying one of eight traffic types and
corresponding user priority values.
802.1 priorities are set based on IEEE 802.1D-2004 Annex G User Priorities and Traffic Classes
that defines seven traffic types and corresponding user priority values.

The MPT Access Unit is the interface for two MPT: MPT-HC or MPT-MC.
Two MPT-HC or MPT-MC can be connected to one MPT Access unit.
The two MPT can be configured in unprotected or protected configuration.
The connection to the MPT-HC can be realized:
by using two connectors:
one DC power Supply connector to send the power supply to the MPT-HC
one Gigabit Ethernet connector (electrical or optical) to send the Ethernet traffic and the
Ethernet control frames to the MPT-HC
or by using only one electrical Ethernet cable with the enabling of the PFoE (Power Feed over
Ethernet) function (Ethernet traffic + Power Supply on the same cable).
If the optical port has to be used, an SFP plug-in must be installed.

If has been enabled port #1 (optical or electrical), the associated Power Supply port is #1.
If has been enabled port #2 (optical or electrical), the associated Power Supply port is #2.
The connection to the MPT-MC is realized by using only one electrical Ethernet cable with the enabling

Service Channels
Using the CT/NMS, the user can enable/disable the 64 kbit/s Service Channel interfaces. The default is disabled:
When enabled, Service Channel interfaces 1 and 2can be configured to transport the following protocol:
Synchronous 64 Kb/s RS422/V.11 DCE co-directional
Radio Service Channels
On each radio direction three 64 kbit/s out-of-band channels are dedicated to Service Channel transmission.
Alarm-Housekeeping
13 Alarm-Housekeeping pins are provided:
6 pins are configured as inputs

7 pins are configured as outputs.
Input alarms
The polarity of each input Alarm-Housekeeping is configurable. The state of each alarm input is configurable in
order to be active, if the voltage on the input is high (open contact) or if the voltage is low (closed contact). This
second option is the default value.
It is possible to assign one user label for each input.
Output alarms
By default the presence of active alarm corresponds to closed relay contact with a common wire available to the
customer. By CT/NMS the polarity can be changed independently for each alarm (both normally closed and normally
open contacts are available on the I/O connector).
When the power supply is down (and also when the power supply is on but the SW has not yet initialized the HW),
all the relays of the outputs of the alarms/housekeeping are in the "open" state (HW default condition).
The Output Housekeeping can be managed in Manual mode only: in Manual mode the output state of each
housekeeping is controlled by the operator. It is possible to assign one user label for each output.
Edition 3.0
Notes:
Service Channels access and Housekeeping alarms are available with the optional Auxiliary
peripheral unit.
The Auxiliary peripheral unit on front panel is equipped with four connectors:
one connector to manage the Service Channel 1

one connector to manage the Service Channel 2
one connector to manage the housekeeping alarms
one connector for EOW (not used in the current release)

Notes:
The STM-1 unit can be used in two different working modes, addressing two different network scenarios:
STM-1 channelized, provision card as SDHCHAN
STM-1 transparent, provision card as SDHAC
The STM-1 channelized interface works as a terminal multiplexer; it terminates or originates the SDH frame.
It multiplexes NxE1 into an STM-1 electrical/optical line connection. The clock source can be Loop time or
Node time. Typical application is a direct connection to SDH add-drop multiplexers (ADMs). STM-1 card
manages one 155 Mbit/s STM1 interface and up to 63xE1. Standard VC4 mapping of lower-order E1 traffic
streams to/from STM-1 is applied, that means that a VC4 directly maps up to 63xVC12 into an STM-1 signal
(in turn each VC12 contains 1xE1).
Link options include:

1+0 non-protected operation
1+1 EPS protection (available ONLY with the optical interface)
When protection of the unit is required (1+1 EPS protection), two STM-1 units must be installed.
Clock source from the incoming STM-1 signal can be selected as Network Element source clock. In the event
the clock source is lost, clocking falls back to the internal clock or to other of any synch in options.
In the Tx direction, the STM-1 Local Access unit processes and encapsulates up to 2xSTM-1 input lines into
an Ethernet packet that is sent to the Core-E card(s).
In the Rx direction, the STM-1 Local Access unit extracts data from the Ethernet data packets and processes
the data to provide up to 2 STM-1 output lines.

Notes:
The ASAP card is used to transport 16xE1 ATM traffic, with E1/IMA physical layer.
ATM PW Ethernet traffic is managed by MPR is such a way to emulate the native QoS that would
be applied by ATM equipment.
The ASAP cards are unprotected (No 1+1 EPS is available).

ATM traffic is transported within the MPR network as "special" Ethernet traffic.
This "special" Ethernet traffic is managed by the MPR using RFC 4717 (IETF ATM PseudoWire
EdgetoEdgeeEmulation, PWE3) with N-1 encapsulation format.
VCC mode
It is possible to transport max 48 VC for every IMA group. It is possible to manage VC

switching (= VCI and VPI change)
It is possible to assign at every VC one specific QoS. Policing and shaping at ATM level has
performed VC mode only
The VC of the same class level (CBR / UBR+ / UBR) are managed in the same radio tail
than are available 3 different radio tails
VPC mode
It is possible to transport max 48 VP for every IMA group. It is possible to manage only VP
switching (=only VPI change)
All the VC inside the VP must have same QoS (= for ex. all CBR or all UBR)
The radio QoS (= radio tails) and QoS ATM (=policing and shaping) are managed at VP level.
The sum of VP + VC configured on a single ASAP card must be <128.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
The 16xE1 ATM streams enter the ASAP unit on the front panel.
The block diagram is divided into 3 parts:
LIU/Framer
Network Processor
Confederation FPGA
The main functions implemented by the LIU/Framer are:
Internal termination supported: 75 ohm, 120 ohm.
Line code supported: HDB3.
Pulse shape: digitally programmable
Framing to G.704 E1 signals and to CRC-4 multi-frame alignment signals.
Detection of alarm conditions as loss of signal, loss of frame, loss of signaling multi-frame and
loss of CRC multi-frame.
The Network Processor is the heart of the ASAP card and provides the implementation of the
protocols to be supported as well as data forwarding. ATM-IMA over PseudoWire, SAToP (like on
the PDH card), CESoP, ML-PPP can be supported by the SW application controlling the Data Path
and running on a different MIPS processor embedded on the same chip.
The main function implemented in the confederation FPGA is the clock management.
The right-hand side is the backplane with the 1 Gb bus shared among the other slots and hence
common with the other units (PDH units and Modem units).

Notes:
The ODUs include a waveguide antenna port, Type-N female connector for the ODU cable, a BNC female
connector (with captive protection cap) for RSSI access, and a grounding stud.
The ODUs, are designed for direct antenna attachment via an 9500MPR-specific mounting collar supplied
with the antennas.
ODU polarization is determined by the position of a polarization rotator fitted within the mounting collar.
A remote ODU mounting kit is available as an option. These may be used to connect an ODU to a standard
antenna, or to a dual-polarized antenna for co-channel link operation.
ODUs are fixed for Tx High or Tx Low operation.

Where two ODUs are to be connected to a single antenna for hot-standby or frequency diversity
configurations, a direct-mounting coupler is used. They are available for equal or unequal loss operation.
Equal loss is nominally 3 dB.
Unequal is nominally 1/6 dB.

The ODU assembly meets the ASTME standard for a 2000 hour salt-spray test, and relevant IEC, UL, and
Bellcore standards for wind-driven rain.
ODUs are frequency-band specific, but within each band are capacity-independent up to their design
maximums.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
The quadrature modulated 311 MHz IF signal from the MSS is extracted at the N-Plexer and passed via a cable AGC
circuit to an IQ demodulator/modulator.
Here the 311 MHz IF is demodulated to derive the separate I and Q signals using the 10 MHz synchronizing reference
signal from the MSS.
These I and Q signals modulate a Tx IF, which has been set to a specific frequency between 1700 and 2300 MHz, such
that when mixed with the Tx local oscillator signal (TXLO) in the subsequent mixer stage, it provides the selected
transmit frequency. Both the IF and Tx local oscillators are synthesizer types.
Between the IQ modulator and the mixer, a variable attenuator provides software adjustment of Tx power.
After the mixer, the transmit signal is amplified in the PA (Power Amplifier) and passed via the diplexer to the antenna
feed port.
A microprocessor in the ODU supports configuration of the synthesizers, transmit power, and alarm and performance
monitoring. The ODU microprocessor is managed under the NCC microprocessor, with which it communicates via the
telemetry channel.
A DC-DC converter provides the required low-voltage DC rails from the -48 Vdc supply.
In the receive direction, the signal from the diplexer is passed via the LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) to the Rx mixer, where
it is mixed with the receive local oscillator (RXLO) input to provide an IF of between 1700 and 2300 MHz. It is then
amplified in a gain-controlled stage to compensate for fluctuations in receive level, and in the IF mixer, is converted to a
126 MHz IF for transport via the ODU cable to the MSS.
The offset of the transmit frequencies at each end of the link is determined by the required Tx/Rx split. The split options
provided are based on ETSI plans for each frequency band. The actual frequency range per band and the allowable
Tx/Rx splits are range-limited within 9500MPR-E to prevent incorrect user selection.
A power monitor circuit is included in the common port of the diplexer assembly to provide measurement of transmit
power. It is used to confirm transmit output power for performance monitoring purposes, and to provide a closed-loop
for power level management over the specified ODU temperature and frequency range.

Notes:
ODUs can be installed separately from its antenna, using a remote-mount to support the ODU, and a flexiblewaveguide or coaxial cable to connect the ODU to its antenna:
a flexible waveguide is required.
The remote mount allows use of standard, single or dual polarization antennas.
The mount can also be used to remotely support a protected ODU pairing installed on a coupler. The coupler
connects to the remote mount assembly in the same way as an ODU.
The remote mount clamps to a standard 112 mm (4) pole-mount, and is common to all frequency bands.
Figure shows an ODU installed on a remote mount.
Flexible waveguides are frequency band specific and are normally available in two lengths, 600 mm (2 ft) or
900 mm (3 ft). Both flange ends are identical, and are grooved for a half-thickness gasket, which is supplied
with the waveguide, along with flange mounting bolts.

Optional cable (P/N 3CC52191AA**).

Connector usage:
(M1) LEMO connector, to be plugged into LEMO connector on MPT-HC V2/MPT-MC.

Note: LEMO is the cable manufacturer
(M2) RJ45 connector, to connect the MCT directly to the MPT.
Banana plugs (M3) and (M4): output is a 0 to +5V DC voltage proportional to the radio Rx field. During
equipment lineup, through a multimeter it is possible to easily point the antenna until the measured
voltage is the maximum, corresponding to the maximum radio Rx field.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
The DC Extractor, installed close to the MPT-HC, allows to interconnect the MSS and the MPT-HC with a
single electrical Ethernet cable by using the Power Feed over Ethernet solution (Ethernet traffic and Power
Supply on the same cable).
The DC Extractor then separates the Power Supply from the Ethernet traffic, which are separately sent to the
MPT-HC.
The two cables, interconnecting the DC Extractor to the MPT-HC (the Power Supply cable to be connected to
the DC Out connector of the DC Extractor and Ethernet cable to be connected to the Data Out connector of
the DC Extractor), are provided, already terminated (2 m long), with the DC Extractor itself

Notes:
Two mechanical solutions are adopted:
With embedded diplexer for cost optimization, where the branching (diplexer) is internal to the MPT-HC
V2 cabinet; this type of unit is identified by one Logistical Item only.
With external diplexer: due to a high number of shifters the diplexer is external for the flexibility of the
shifter customization, where MPT-HC V2 is composed by two independent units: the BRANCHING
assembly (containing the diplexer) and the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly (containing the RF section);
each of this type of MPT-HC V2 is identified by two Logistical Items, one for the BRANCHING assembly
and another for the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly. To read the BRANCHING assembly identification label it
is necessary to separate the BRANCHING assembly from the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly.

Notes:
The common belt section is frequency-independent. It is the digital section of the MPT-HC V2/MPTXP.
There are two architecture types for the RF section, the differences between these two
architectures are on the Rx side:
For 7/8 GHz, there are two frequency conversions between RF input frequency and baseband
frequency
For all other bands, there are three frequency conversions
The power comes from office power. Input voltage range is -28 to -58 Vdc.

Notes:
The Ethernet interface traffic is bridged across the link via an embedded switch. The SONET/SDH
traffic is handled separately within the radio and does not pass through the internal switch.
The SONET/SDH and Ethernet traffic are aggregated within the radio unit for transmission over the air
to the far end of the link.
Depending on configuration, the available Ethernet bandwidth can exceed 1000Mbps. To utilize the
full Ethernet capacity, the radio contains an internal Primary and Secondary Ethernet radio interface.
This allows copper or Ethernet SFP interfaces to be assigned to the Primary or Secondary channel
within the radio. An internal radio link aggregator handles this functionality.
The portion of the radio bandwidth that is not used by SONET/SDH is available for use by Ethernet as
shown in the table below.

Notes:
MPT-HCV2/MPT-XP supports a further embedded functionality called "Enhanced RPS". Enhanced RPS is a
frame-based protection mechanism, aimed to reach a quick reaction time and increasing significantly the
quality of the radio interface in the Rx side.
It assumes the alignment between the 2 received radio channels and it is based on frame by frame selection
of the "best" frame between the frames received from the Main and the Spare radio channel.
The Enhanced RPS assumes that the "classical" RPS criteria are used to give indication about the "preferred"
channel, whose frame has to be selected, when the frame-based choice between the 2 streams is not
possible (e.g. due to the frame alignment error).
The Enhanced RPS switching criterion depends on the presence of errors in the decoded LDPC word.

Edition 3.0

Notes:
Where there is a cross configuration (EPS on Spare & TPS on main), HSB (TPS) will switch and align with EPS
position, if there is an inter-MPT coupling link failure.

Edition 3.0
Notes:
This function is implemented by installing the RPS+XPIC external module).
The actual improvement will depend on the native discrimination provided at antenna alignment,
and any reduction of this discrimination caused by atmospheric effects (fading).
XPIC typically provides 20 dB improvement in polarization discrimination.
