MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 Chapter 1 GENERAL OVERVIEW GENERAL OVERVIEW GENERAL OVERVIEW GENERAL OVERVIEW WipLL is a broadband fixed cellular Wireless Access system. It provides an "all-in-
one" broadband access solution for operators and network service providers supporting data applications including "toll quality" telephony service1 over a single integrated platform. WipLL utilizes air protocol that enables one of WipLL's unique features - the ability to recognize the type of the transmission and assign bandwidth and other resources accordingly. As an integrated broadband cellular wireless system WipLL is a complete system solution for carriers and providers of multiple fixed access services to the SME
(small to medium enterprises), SOHO (small office / home office) and residential marketplace demanding video, voice and data access. The WipLL system can be considered as functionally divided between three sites as described in Figure 1-1:
Subscriber Premises Sites Base Station Sites A Network Operations Center (NOC) and planning site The Base Station Site and the Subscriber Premises site each contain WipLL hardware whilst the NOC uses software and associated hardware platforms to plan, configure and manage the WipLL system. 1 From WipLL Release 1.4. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Marconi Communications Ltd. 1-1 of 1-12 WipLL System Description Subscriber Site Subscriber Site Subscriber Site Base Station Site Base Station Site Subscriber Site Base Station Site Subscriber Site Subscriber Site Subscriber Site Base Station Site Non WLL Users Non IP Systems Network Operating Centre Figure 1-1: Typical Wipll System Partitioning WipLL provides a radio link between the end-user of the telecom network (the subscriber) and the network itself to give high-speed data access. WipLL uses Internet Protocol (IP) to communicate between subscribers. WipLL comprises radio transceivers installed at subscriber premises and further transceivers at local base stations. A transceiver at a subscriber premises links through radio to its local 1-2 of 1-12 Marconi Communications Ltd. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Chapter 1 - GENERAL OVERVIEW base station. The base station then links through an Ethernet connection to datacom or IP network. Each local base station serves numerous subscribers in its vicinity. The WipLL components at the subscribers' premises and at the base stations can be remotely controlled and configured by a management system using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Figure 1-2 shows a diagram of a Typical WipLL installation. Figure 1-2: Typical WipLL System WipLL supports multiple applications integrated on a single platform, such as:
High-rate data transfer Video conferencing Internet access Voice over IP MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Marconi Communications Ltd. 1-3 of 1-12 WipLL System Description 1.1. Components of the System The WipLL system comprises three main components as indicated in Figure 1-1:
1) Subscriber site 2) Base station 3) Coverage 1-4 of 1-12 Marconi Communications Ltd. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Chapter 1 - GENERAL OVERVIEW 1.1.1. The Subscriber Site Each subscriber site contains Subscriber Premises Equipment (SPE) that links the subscriber to the WipLL system. The SPE consists of:
A Subscriber Premises Radio (SPR) A subscriber adapter or one of a set selected per application The SPE performs routing functions between the customer site and the base station. The SPE also performs local Quality of Service (QoS) functions, such as re-ordering packets and assigning Time-to-Live (TTL). The following drawing shows a current typical subscriber site installation:

Connection to telecom system Power supply Radio communications. Some of these components are mandatory and others optional depending on the configuration of the site and the particular type of network backbone interconnection. Each Base Station Radio (BSR) is optionally physically connected to a Base Station Distribution Unit (BSDU), which provides data connectivity, power, and local switching functionality, as well synchronization between the BSRs. A BSDU can serve up to six BSRs, and up to four BSDUs can be chained in a single base station to support up to 24 BSRs. BSR BSR BSR BSR BSR BSR 48 VDC 10 base-T Management 100 base-T BSDU Wide Area Network Connection Power Supply DS1 DS3 ATM Other Figure 1-4: Base Station Units 1-6 of 1-12 Marconi Communications Ltd. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Chapter 1 - GENERAL OVERVIEW A BSR can maintain a 3 Mbit air link with customers in its sector (net throughput of 2.4 Mb/s). A single base station has a capacity of up to 72 Mb/s and can support up to 3024 customer sites. The area covered by a single base station is called a cell and can extend to a radius of up to 25 km in ideal locations, about 6 km in suburban locations and about 2 km in urban locations dependent on locally permitted RF transmission power. 1.1.3. Coverage Each base station provides a wireless link to all subscribers in the base station's area or domain. For full coverage several base stations can be set up over an extended area. WipLL works in accordance with the operator's backbone and uses the backbone to connect between base stations, the central management station, and other resources on the network. WipLL assumes a network backbone that uses IP. The area covered by a base station is divided into sectors. Each sector is built around a Base Station Radio (BSR) unit which is the central coordinator of the sector. The BSR can transmit and receive through a 60 degree sector. To cover a full 360 degree sweep, requires six BSRs at the base station which will comprise six sectors each covered by a BSR. o 60 sector Area covered by the base station
= Base Station Radio (BSR) Figure 1-5: Base Station Covering 360 MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Marconi Communications Ltd. 1-7 of 1-12 WipLL System Description Not all six sectors need be equipped. For example at a housing development that faces open farmland, one could site a base station that only covers 180 degrees to provide facilities only to the housing development. o 60 sector
= Base Station Radio (BSR) Figure 1-6: Base Station Giving Partial Cover o 60 sector
= Base Station Radio (BSR) Figure 1-7: Base Station with Complete BSR Redundancy Alternatively, the base station can have up to twenty-four BSRs, each covering 60 degrees. This allows either:
Complete BSR redundancy with two or more BSRs covering each sector - see Figure 1-7 1-8 of 1-12 Marconi Communications Ltd. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 or Chapter 1 - GENERAL OVERVIEW Partial sector overlap with each layer of BSRs offset to the one above it - see Figure 1-8. This gives more capacity in areas where high demand requires more bandwidth. Figure 1-8: Base Station Sector 1.2. Management, and Commissioning WipLL uses two tools for management and commissioning both implemented as software programs:
The WipLL network management tool - WipManage WipConfig Further information on the use of these tools can be found in the Operations and Maintenance Manual. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Marconi Communications Ltd. 1-9 of 1-12 WipLL System Description 1.2.1. WipManage WipManage is the primary WipLL network management tool for every WipLL unit. It enables:
Configuration Fault isolation Performance monitoring Software upgrade WipManage can access each unit in the system and manage it remotely using standard SNMP protocols for communicating with the WipLL unit, private and standard MIBs for setting and retrieving parameters from the units. The top hierarchy of WipManage is a base-station site view from which one can zoom into every Subscriber Premises Radio (SPR). WipManage can also be run as a stand-alone program running on Microsoft Windows NT. Inputs to WipManage include the manual entry of parameters and retrieval of parameters directly from the WipLL units. WipManage outputs are sent either to the WipLL units or saved to the database as required. 1.2.2. WipConfig WipConfig is a configuration tool for the WipLL units. It provides the flexibility to configure the units before leaving the shop or after the actual installation at the customer site. WipConfig enables:
Technicians to configure and monitor parameters at the WipLL units. Use of inputs from either a .CFG file that is produced by a database application or manually by typing the parameters into the appropriate fields of the program. 1-10 of 1-12 Marconi Communications Ltd. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Chapter 1 - GENERAL OVERVIEW Configuration and monitoring of the WipLL units via a serial or Ethernet port. It supports Microsoft Windows 9x and Windows 2000 platforms. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Marconi Communications Ltd. 1-11 of 1-12 Chapter 2 MAIN FEATURES, PROTOCOL MAIN FEATURES, PROTOCOL AND QoS AND QoS The WipLL system is designed to provide internet access and telephony service using spread spectrum frequency hopping technology to minimize interference in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. Data is transmitted as Internet Protocol (IP) packets. Each packet is divided into fragments, and fragments can be repeated several times to ensure Quality of Service
(QoS). Other techniques such as CRC and space diversity further enhance the system performance. WipLL is an IP based platform that enables multiple applications over a single platform utilizing a quality of service mechanism that ensures the transmission of packets according to a pre-define d policy. This chapter lists the most significant features and advantages of the WipLL system, including its protocol and Quality of Service (QoS) mechanism. 2.1.

(depending on the Residential Access Gateway (RAG) and sampling rate) Requires minimal delay. Silence suppression no packets 2.2. PPMA Protocol This section describes the Preemptive Polling Multiple Access (PPMA) protocol. It discusses the environment in which this protocol operates, its task and description of the PPMA protocol as used by WipLL. To support the above environment the main task of the PPMA protocol is to combine all these requirements in the most efficient manner. 2.2.1. What is PPMA?
2.2.1.1. Concept PPMA is a centrally coordinated protocol. The BSR performs the task of coordination over the air . It constantly gathers information from the Subscriber Premises Radio (SPR) regarding their requirements for resources. These are rated according to the combination of parameters such as the number of packets in the SPR queues and the maximum allowed delay for the first packet in the queue. Once the BSR has determined the requirements of resources for the next few milliseconds it starts to poll the SPRs accordingly. SPRs that receive the highest score are polled first and the others follow in order. 2.2.1.2. Slotted Aloha Process The constant gathering of information regarding the required resources from the SPRs is performed by using a mechanism called "Slotted Aloha". From time to time (and not exceeding every 100mS) the BSR sends a "Channel Clear" message which is an invitation for SPRs to send the score of their requirements. It then waits for a while and receives these requirements from the MCIL -WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 Marconi Communications Ltd. 2-7 of 2-12 WipLL System Description SPRs. The waiting time is called Slotted Aloha due to the fact that the BSR waits for a time that is equivalent to 16 messages of "Request to Send" (RTS). The messages are synchroniz ed so that an SPR does not transmit a message before the previous message is ended. The timing of each RTS message is represented as a
"Slot". SPRs are independent to choose which slots to use for sending their requirements. Occasionally a collision betwee n SPRs can occur on a slot and then the probability is that the request is lost. Each SPR can use more than one slot to send its request. An SPR that was not allowed to transmit might try again during the next Slotted Aloha process. This system ensures tha t all SPRs eventually get a fair chance to transmit their requests. 2.2.1.3. Packet Transmission After the BSR has gathered the requests from the SPRs and decided on the priorities, it sends a "Clear to Send" (CTS) message to the first SPR. The packet is then transmitted from the SPR. In the header of each packet more information about the status of the queues is included thus avoiding the need for the SPR to participate in the next Slotted Aloha process. The data packet is divided into fragments and each fragment is added with CRC
(Cyclic Redundancy Check). After the packet is complete, an "Acknowledge"
(ACK) message is sent by the BSR that includes information about all fragments that were reported as errors. These fragments can be repeated several times until the entire message is successfully transmitted. 2.2.1.4. Polling Sequence Each time the BSR sends a CTS (Clear to Send) message to one of the SPRs it is considered as if the SPR is being polled. Polling of SPRs can happen according to the information gathered during th e Slotted Aloha process or in a periodic manner every few milliseconds regardless of the Slotted Aloha process depending on the application transmitting data at the time. 2-8 of 2-12 Marconi Communications Ltd. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 Chapter 2 - MAIN FEATURES, PROTOCOL AND QoS The polling sequence of data applications is managed by the BSR based on the information gathered during the Slotted Aloha process. Data applications can sustain relatively long delays before expecting a response and therefore their packets can be delayed within the SPRs before being sent to the BSR and on to the network. Other applications which require a smaller delay for their packets are polled first. Some applications are configured to transmit a burst of several packets in a row before expecting any response from the other party. In such a case the polling mechanism is able to support several polls of an SPR one after the other. This mode is called "PPMA" (Preemptive Polling Multiple Access). Real-time applications such as video often sends a constant flow of packets. In this case the BSR polls the SPR that is related to such an application in accordance with the flow of the packets. IP Telephony systems send packets about every 30ms and require a very small delay. Therefore, an SPR that was recognized as sending packets is polled usually every 30ms (see 2.1.14) without having to go through the Slotted Aloha process to inform the BSR about each packet. This mode is called "Adaptive TDMA" (Time Division Multiple Access). 2.3. Security Being a centrally coordinated protocol gives PPMA several options of security that are independent of other layers. 2.3.1. Login Mechanism In order to be served by a BSR an SPR must be registered to it. This registration process is based on the SPR's MAC address and the BSR address that is configured by the network management. When a new SPR tries to register to the BSR it sends an "Request to Send" message during the "Slotted Aloha" time. The BSR then checks if the SPR MAC address is listed as an "Allowed SPR" list. This list is maintained by the network management system. If it is listed as such then an "Association" message is sent to the SPR that includes information about the cell such as the public key for the encoding, number of users, etc.. The SPR then sends its own information to the BSR. It is then considered as being "associated" with the BSR and can start sending and receiving messages from it. MCIL -WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 Marconi Communications Ltd. 2-9 of 2-12 WipLL System Description In case the SPR is not included in the "Allowed SPR" list or the address it provides for the BSR is incorrect no message will be sent to it and the association process will be terminated. 2.4. QoS Quality of Service (QoS) is the ability to recognize the type of the transmission and assign bandwidth and other resources accordingly. Resources are not necessarily only in terms of bandwidth but also in terms of delays, packet loss rate and whether or not data needs to be retransmitted in case it is lost. Figure 2-1 represents the idea behind the QoS. Some applications require more network resources than others. WEB Browsing E-mail File Transfer Voice over IP Video Conference Figure 2-1: WipLL QoS Mechanism Qos measurements are based on 2 factors, assigned traffic priority (0 through 7) and Time-To-Live (TTL) factor (1 through 5):

Increased delay could present quality problems with time bounded services such as voice communication.

Echo is generated at the 2 wire-4 wire hybri be cancelled. Note that a voice call between two customers, both connected to an SDTA, will not suffer from echo because the SDTA customers effectively become 4-wire customers. MCIL -WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 Marconi Communications Ltd. 2-11 of 2-12 WipLL System Description PSTN has traditionally been a low delay network and has not bothered with echo cancellation, at least in smaller countries, if the round trip delay is below 50ms. Echo cancellors are used in international calls between different PSTNs. The key principle is that the network that causes the echo should cancel it. Applying this principle to the introduction of IP based WLL systems means that echo should system echo cancellation has been implemented in both the SDTA (upto 8ms) and the head-end gateways (upto 64ms). 2-12 of 2-12 Marconi Communications Ltd. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 Chapter 3 APPLICATIONS AND APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES SERVICES WipLL can be installed in several configurations to support different required applications. The following paragraphs discuss some of the applications and services that can be provided with WipLL. 3.1. Applications 3.1.1. Fixed Cellular Access System Typically WipLL is used as a broadband fixed wireless access system. It is installed in a cellular structure where many base station sites are installed in a way that provides full coverage of an area for enabling access for all potential customers in the area. Each cell consists of sectors that are determined by base station radios (BSRs). The following figure shows the structure of a typical WipLL cell. MCIL -WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 Marconi Communications Ltd. 3-1 of 3-10 WipLL System Description Figure 3-1: WipLL Cell Subscriber Premises Radios (SPRs) are normally installed on a rooftop or a wall which has a direct line of sight to the base station radio (BSR) and are pointed towards the nearest base station or the base station that was assigned according to the pre-planning of the site. well as enough capacity to accommodate the requirements of subscribers. When a full area is covered, WipLL can provide services to tens of thousands of users. The backbone must be able to carry the required capacity, delays and connectivity in order to support the services and requirements of all users. Prior to installation, a full site planning is required. Such planning normally includes forecasts of the required capacity based on the number of users, typical subscription contract, types of srevice, required bit rate per subscriber, etc. It also includes radio planning for determining the best locations for BSRs to ensure full coverage, frequency allocation to minimize mutual interference and tilting options to determine the covered area for each sector of a base station. 3-2 of 3-10 Marconi Communications Ltd.

Remote Base Station Backhaul Occasionally, when base stations are providing services to a small number of subscribers or when large capacity is not required, WipLL SPRs and BSRs can be used for backhauling. Such configurations can be considered in most cases as a point-to-point (PTP) connection. Each PTP connection can provide up to 4Mbps of bandwidth and is equivalent or better than a typical point-to-multi-point (PMP) connection that is used in a typical base station installation. 3-4 of 3-10 Marconi Communications Ltd. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 Chapter 3 - APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES Figure 3-3 shows a typical backhauling of a base station using WipLL. Figure 3-3: WipLL Backhauling Remote base stations are typically required when the main base station sites cannot cover an area due to lack of line-of-sight or when the distance exceeds the capability of the radios to provide services. It is recommended that a maximum of two hops be used between a main base station and a subscriber site. Note: Each such connection adds about 15 to 25ms delay to each packet. MCIL -WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 Marconi Communications Ltd. 3-5 of 3-10 WipLL System Description 3.1.3.1. Indoor Coverage (Not for use in North America) In many applications there is a need to provide access to users located in the lower floors of a building. These users usually do not have a direct line -of-sight with a base station. WipLL can be used for indoor coverage for apartment buildings and office areas. There are ways to achieve such a configuration either by placing the BSR in a an adjacent building and covering one or two sides of the building or placing a BSR on the roof pointed towards the adjacent building to receive the reflections of the RF signals, or by placing the BSR inside the building and transmitting sufficient power to penetrate walls. The following figures show some ways of providing indoor coverage. Figure 3-4: WipLL Indoor Coverage 3-6 of 3-10 Marconi Communications Ltd. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 Chapter 3 - APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES 3.2. Services 3.2.1. Broadband Data Access Using a standard PSTN modem in circuit-switched networks customers are limited to 56Kbps of throughput and in most cases to 28.8Kbps. From the operator's perspective once a customer has dialed with a PSTN modem a full 128Kbps channel is occupied for as long as the session lasts. With WipLL customers are limited only by configuration, with a maximum of 4Mbps, 50 times faster than the fastest PSTN modem. However, they do not necessarily consume more bandwidth from the operator since bandwidth is used only when there is an actual data packet to transmit. This happens about 10% of the time. As a result, assuming the same bandwidth utilization of 128Kbps per customer an operator may actually commit 128Kbps to each customer, thus over-selling bandwidth without having any effect on the performance of the connection. These characteristics of WipLL make it suitable for providing data access to users while maintaining best usage of bandwidth and capacity. The following paragraphs discuss some of the services available with the broadband access that WipLL can offer. 3.2.2. High Speed Internet Access One of the advantages of WipLL is the fact that users are "always on". This means that there is no dialing process and no need for the hassle involved with dialup access. You need only open your web browser or email program to be instantly connected. MCIL -WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 Marconi Communications Ltd. 3-7 of 3-10 WipLL System Description WipLL can also distinguish between applications and users, thus enabling the operator to provide different class of service to users. For example, it can provide different services to web browsing and email, prioritizing web browsing for ensuring best "Internet experience". 3.2.3. Private Networks WipLL allows the configuration for providing connectivity to branch offices. In this configuration the branch office can be connected to a central office or any other destination without allowing access from any other source. Figure 3-5 illustrates two customers, A and B, with private networks to branch offices. Figure 3-5: WipLL Private Networking 3-8 of 3-10 Marconi Communications Ltd. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 Chapter 3 - APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES 3.2.4. Remote Access WipLL is very suitable for tele -workers who require high speed access combined with private network and flexible configuration. The interface to the system is 10Base-T and enables seamless configuration between office and remote location. 3.2.5. Video Over IP The fact that WipLL can provide Mbps of throughput to the user, together with its ability to set different delays and priorities to different applications and provide QoS, makes it a good solution for enabling applications like video over IP. This means that customers can do high quality video conferencing. The system can prioritize video packets in such a way that delays and jitter are minimized and the video packets pass smoothly through the system.

MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 BSRBSR Chapter 4 4.1. Base Station Radio A BSR is the centre of a WipLL sector. It has several roles in both the MAC layer as well as in the networking and transport layers. In the MAC layer the BSR is responsible for synchr onizing the SPRs in terms of timing, frequency hopping sequence, authentication, and control - allowing (or not) the transmission of data within the sector. At the network layer the BSR performs routing functions between the base station's Ethernet network and the wireless stations, containing a routing table that can support up to 126 stations addresses. The transport layer at a BSR makes decisions on how to support an application in terms of bandwidth, delays and mode of operation. There are two modes of operation - Pre-emptive Polling (PPMA) and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA). Although the WipLL BSR employs PPMA, it also recognizes the traffic type and emulates TDMA where necessary. The BSRs are connected to the wired backbone through a BSDU with a 10Base-T Ethernet connection which allows a cable length of up to 100 meters. Each of the BSRs contains two internal high gain, flat plate antennas, to support functionality of antenna diversity which helps to over come multi-path effects. There are typically several BSRs at each base station site. Each BSR can cover an azimuth angle (yaw) of 60 degrees and therefore 6 BSRs can provide a full 360 degrees coverage of the entire cell if needed. The antenna may also be tilted vertically (pitch) to reduce interference between adjacent BSRs. The maximum number of radios that can be connected depends mainly on the radio bandwidth allocated to the system. 6 radios can coexist at the base-station providing as much MCIL -WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 Marconi Communications Ltd. 4-1 of 4-10 WipLL System Description as 18 Mbit /s per base station to be shared among the remote users. Each individual BSR delivers up to 4Mbps using only a minimal 1MHz of radio bandwidth. As capacity demand grows, more BSR's can be added to a total of 24 per cell, providing approximately 96Mbps throughput and connection to up to 3,024 discrete subscriber sites, however such a configuration would require a bandwidth allocation of at least 75 MHz.

Unsynchronized vs Synchronized Operation
(Not for North America only for ETSI countries). In unsynchronized mode, BSRs use random frequency tables. As such signal collision is quite possible leading to frequent retransmission. Using orthogonal tables helps to reduce this to a limited extent. In synchronized mode, all BSRs use the same frequency table. A signal received from the BSDU restarts the table phase. Up to 4 BSDUs may be daisy chained together, in which case each BSDU will be assigned as Sync Ring Id and the m aster BSDU will be the one to send the restart signal. The GPS is designed to synchronize across base stations. 1 GPS can support upto 4 co-located BSDUs. If only one of the BSDUs has a GPS, that BSDU will automatically be assigned as the master. If each BSDU has its own GPS or if there are no GPSs installed on any of the BSRs, WipLL will assign a master BSDU Id to a Sync Ring Id.

Figure 6-1 shows a typical SPR installation. Figure 6-1: Typical SPR Installation MCIL -WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 Marconi Communications Ltd. 6-1 of 6-12 WipLL System Description SPR Subscriber Adapter Figure 6-2: Typical Subscriber Site Video Conferencing 6.2. SPR/BSR Communications The SPR transmits and receives data to and from the base station. It is typically located on the roof or external wall of the subscriber premises. The SPR has the reference number of the Base Station Radio (BSR) coded into it. This prevents the SPR from being removed and placed at a different location without authorisation. The SPR contains a high-gain directional antenna. The standard 2.4Ghz model covers an area of 23 degrees with a gain of 15dBi At the network layer, the SPR performs routing functions between the subscriber's Ethernet network and the wireless network and contains a routing table that can support up to 16 entries. The transport layer of the SPR makes de cisions on how to support an application in terms of bandwidth, delays and mode of operation. There are two modes of operation - pre-emptive polling and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA). The BSR's admission control makes the decision on which mode each unit of the cell will operate at a given moment. 6-2 of 6-12 Marconi Communications Ltd. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R2_00 Chapter 6 - SPR The SPR is connected to the wired network through an SDA or SDTA supplied with WipLL Release 1.4, with a 10Base-T Ethernet connection which allows a cable length of up to 100 meters.

The output voltage of the rectifiers feeds the load and charges the batteries through the dual LVD. A dedicated bus that connects all rectifier modules does current sharing. This is done autonomously and not related to the system controller. All rectifiers are sharing a voltage control bus (V-CONTROL) by which it is possible to change the output DC voltage of the system, around the default value of the modules. This bus is controlled by the system controller in order to cha nge the output. 8-2 of 8-16 Marconi Communications Ltd. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Chapter 8 - BSPS Another bus (ALARM) sends the information of a faulty rectifier module to the system controller. Two accurate shunt-resistors are contained in the system to monitor the load and the total current. The battery current is then calculated by the controller to be the difference between the two. Two temperature sensors are connected to measure the battery temperature. The average temperature is calculated and demonstrated. The status of the various circuit breakers (CB's) is monitored constantly by using their auxiliary switches. The opening of a CB will result in an audio/visual alarm. When the reason for alarm is removed, the alarm clears and stops. 8.2. Main Rack 8.2.1. Main Rack The main rack is the core of the Full-Redundancy 48VDC-power system.

It is a plugged-in module designed specifically for modular systems. The power factor correction (PFC) device at the input enables clean, stable, sinusoidal current consumption from the mains. This converter produces a 382VDC output, which is then converted to the 50V output. A current sharing circuit is responsible for current sharing among the rectifiers. This enables each one of the rectifiers to slightly increase its output voltage. The rectifiers follow the highest output voltage of the rectifiers that are used. For example:
There are 2 rectifiers in the system, one of the rectifiers has an output voltage that is greater than that of the other rectifier. The rectifier with the higher output voltage will become the master and dictate the output voltage of the total system. The second rectifier raises its voltage slightly until its output current equals the output current of the master rectifier. Hence, one rectifier in the system is the master and the other rectifiers are slaves. When the master rectifier fails to operate, the rectifier with the next highest initial output automatically becomes the new master of the system. Note: The sharing mechanism tends to raise th approximately one-volt of correction is applied to the system. The output current indication is indicated by the LED bar graph shown on the front panel (see Figure 8-8). This bar graph is used to verify current sharing operation, and to indicate the percentage of the full load. An RFI input filter built into the input stage suppresses the generated noise travelling to the line. MCIL -WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Marconi Communications Ltd. 8-9 of 8-16 WipLL System Description 8.5.1.

RS232 Tx Rx COM 5 9 1 6 Figure 8-11: DB9 Connector 8.7. Communication Protocol & Data 1) The host and the controller communicate in Half -Duplex RS232 9600.N.1 RX, TX, COM lines, no flow control (neither h/w nor s/w). 2) The HOST is always the MASTER, and the controller is always a slave. 3) Data is binary with no dedicated control chars. 4) Data transmitted by each end has a constant length. 5) There are 3 elements for data reliability: 3 bytes - header. 6) 1 byte - checksum. 7) 3 bytes - termination. 8) Upon reception of a valid packet, the controller will respond in 50mSec as of the end of the received packet. 8-14 of 8-16 Marconi Communications Ltd. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Chapter 8 - BSPS 9) Upon a reception of a header start (0xAC) there will be a start of a reception window 500mSec long. In case that a valid packet has been received it will be processed. Otherwise, the controller will initialize the reception counter. This protocol provides the user with the ability of controlling the power system parameters as well as retrieving data and status from the system. 8.7.1. Master The master sends its packet including header, opcode , data, checksum and termination. The 4-byte opcode bit-combination gives the user the ability to perform on e or more functions at the same time. The 32-byte data to be sent should include relevant data according to the operation, set as an opcode by the user. 8.7.2. Slave The slave responds as soon as a valid packet is received including header, received opcode , received_checksum , id, data, checksum and termination. The received_opcode is the last received opcode from the master. The received_checksum is the last received checksum from the master. The 4-byte id consists of 3 pre-programmed bytes and an additional byte that can be programmed by the master. The 32-byte data always include all the data/status that the user may request, meaning that every transaction from the master to the slave will always result with retrieving all possible data that the slave is able to provide. NOTE: The data retrieved in a transaction does not include the changes made by the host in its command (if any). Another retrieval should take place in order to get the valu es that were affected in the previous command.

BSPS Base Station Power System (BSPS) is released as part of a cabinet, to provide power to the BSDUs at the base station. 9.6. VoIP WipLL now provides a solution for voice and data. However at this stage voice support is for demos and tests only and is not officially released for general use. WipLL 1.4 voice support includes a Subscriber Data and Telephony Adapter
(SDTA), one of the elements of the latest WipLL solution. The SDTA provides both voice and data services whereas the SDA provides only data services. The SDTA also provides a LAN port to connect the local PVC and 2 POTS ports to connect analog telephones. The SDTA at release 1.4 supports H.323, G.711, G.723 and G.729 standards. MCIL -WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Marconi Communications Ltd. 9-3 of 9-8 WipLL System Description 9.7. Improved Quality of Service (QoS) QoS is the ability to recognize the type of transmission and assign optimal resources accordingly. This is especially important for VoIP applications, that are sensitive to delay and jitter and should therefore be prioritized over other applications. QoS is used for packets leaving the SPRs towards the BSR as well as among SPRs making sure that the BSR assigns the correct priority to the correct SPR. WipLL 1.4 now provides eight (8) levels of priority: 0 through 7. Priorities are based on source IP address or ranges of addresses, destination IP address or ranges of addresses, protocol type (UDP, TCP, ICMP) and TCP/UDP ports which actually define the applications, such as a WEB application on port 80). When WipLL identifies a VoIP packet from an analog phone connected to the SDTA, it automatically provides it with the highest priority value (7). When a packet arrives from the Ethernet network to an SPR, the system recognizes the type of the packet and assigns it with a Time -To-Live (TTL) value. TTL determines which packets go first, where packets share the same priority. Each packet is marked whether critical or not, to determine if it should be sent when TTL expires or it should be dropped. Higher priority packets always go fir st regardless of the TTL of lower priority packets. 9.8. Bandwidth limitations The BSR receives and transmits data to multiple SPRs. Using WipManage the user can set the maximum bandwidth values for different SPRs. With good planning and minimal system congestion, each SPR can use the maximum defined bandwidth, so long as does not exceed the maximum overall bandwidth. 9-4 of 9-8 Marconi Communications Ltd. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Chapter 9 - Appendix In a congested network, the real maximum bandwidth for an SPR cannot reach the defined value, but is still in proportion to the value configured. For example, an SPR that is set to a maximum of 256Kbps can reach a maximum bandwidth significantly larger than the maximum standard bandwidth of an SPR set to a 64Kbps. 9.9. SNMP support for BSDU The BSDU is a major building block in a base station site. As such it is required to be remotely managed by WipManage. As part of release 1.4, WipManage now supports the BSDU that has an SNMP agent and supports Management Information Base II (MIB-II) and private MIB. 9.10. IntraCom The enabling/disabling IntraCom feature provides an option of controlling the packets transferred among SPRs with the help of a router or a firewall connected to the BSR in the base station:
If IntraCom is allowed, traffic can be routed among the SPRs (via the BSR) without the involvement of any external router or firewall. If IntraCom is not allowed, then traffic among SPRs is routed via the BSR to a central router or firewall. The central router or firewall controls the traffic. This capability is often requested by users interested in central control of the traffic among sites, for reasons such as security. 9.11. Configuring IP on the air The IP addresses of the air ports of BSRs and SPRs can be configured by the user Previous releases do not allow this configuration. The IP addresses of the air ports were fixed IP addr esses from the range of 192.168.0.0 . MCIL -WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Marconi Communications Ltd. 9-5 of 9-8 WipLL System Description This feature now increases the flexibility of WipLL, permits more efficient use of IP pre-existing networks. For example a user that uses private IP addresses from the range of 192.168.0.0 does not have to change IP addresses in the network when installing WipLL. 9.12. Default configurations via WipConfig &
WipManage layers of default configurations for SPRs:
1. Customer defaults located in ROM and loaded during manufacturing. These parameters are customer specific. nd installation, release 1.4 provides 2 2. Protected parameters basic parameters that enable connectivity of the SPR such as its IP address, subnet mask and community strings. Undo operation enables restoring to the previous parameter settings. 9.13. RSSI analysis in WipConfig WipConfig shows the RSSI value of each SPR. The RSSI value provides important RF-related information when installing WipLL. 9.14. What is RFC 1918?
Address allocation permits full network layer connectivity among all hosts inside an enterprise as well as among all public hosts of different enterprises. The cost of using private internet address space is the potentially costly effort to renumber hosts and networks between public a nd private. The industry standard is that whenever possible, users of unregistered (or "dirty") networks use the reserved addresses in RFC 1918 on any networks inside the firewall. 9-6 of 9-8 Marconi Communications Ltd. MCIL-WIPLL-SDN_R1_40 Chapter 9 - Appendix The RFC 1918 addresses that can be used are:
Class A: 10.x.x.x Class B range: 172.16.0.0 -172.31.0.0 Class C range: 192.168.1.x-192.168.254.x The advantages of using these numbers on the inside of the firewall are twofold:
hout fear of running out of addresses addresses. For example, if arbitrarily using the Class C range of 192.31.7.0 for network addresses on the inside of your firewall, you will find that your computers will never be able to connect to another machine having a legitimate IP address such as 192.31.7.31, because the hosts will forever be trying to reach a machine on the inside of your firewall that does not exis t.
