The CPE is used to provide connectivity
(Internet Access) to users using Broadband Wireless Access based on WiMAX technology. The TVWS Network uses the TV White Space spectrum (470-698 MHz) in channels that are not used by licensed or protected users such as broadcasters and wireless microphones. The CPEs are wirelessly connected to Base Stations (RNU4000-BTS) that are usually installed in high places such as tower, water tanks , rooftops, etc. and from the Base Stations the communication is relayed to the Internet cloud via a gateway/router ( Micronoc, CompactNOC, ASN Gateway, etc.). The CPE is connected through the Base Stations to the Automatic Frequency Allocation Software (AFAS) in order to receive the available TVWS channels from the TVWS Data Base. The CPE will only transmit after it is synchronized to the Base Station on a channel allocated by the TVWS Data Base via the AFAS SW The CPE uses OFDMA technology in TDD (Time Division Duplexing) mode with adaptive modulation in order to provide a reliable connectivity, the CPE modulation will change automatically according to the link budget between the CPE and the Base Station. The available modulation levels are described in Table 2 above. The CPE will adapt automatically its output power level according to the link budget between the CPE and the Base Station in order to reduce self-interference. In addition the CPE is GPS synchronized with the Base Station and other CPEs in the area connected to the same TVWS Network in such a way that all CPEs will transmit and receive at the same time, the GPS synchronization mitigates the self-interference between the CPEs in the same network The CPE can be connected at the customers premises via POE to any IP device that needs Internet connectivity such as Wi-Fi routers, laptop/desktop computers, IP switches, etc. 6 Runcom Technologies Ltd.

8 Runcom Technologies Ltd. CPE-O-R-WS User Manual 3.4 CPE-O-RS-WS Registration (in the Data Base) and Configuration (prior to installation) 3.4.1 CPE Network The CPE-O-RS-WS shall be used only in a TVWS network with Runcom AFAS Software and RNU-4000TVWS Base Stations (FCC Identifier: XYMBSTVWS-1) and cannot operate with any other base station. 3.4.2 Registration of the CPE-O-RS-WS in the Data Base (Spectrum Bridge) Prior the installation of the CPE-O-RS-WS, the professional installer shall register the CPE-O-RS-WS in the Spectrum Bridge TVWS Data Base. The Registration includes the CPE-O-RS-WS MAC ID, the location Latitude and Longitude, antenna height, and Base Station ID to where the CPE-O-RS-WS will be connected. All this will be done using the AFAS (Automatic Frequency Allocation Software). Runcom Automated Frequency Allocation Software (AFAS) is a SW element that mediates between the TV white space (TVWS) database and Runcom Base Stations (BTS) and user terminals (CPE), in order to comply with FCC rules. The AFAS main tasks are to register the TVWS fixed devices (Base Station and CPEs) to the TVWS Data Base, to receive the available channels from the Data Base to each one of the fixed devices registered and to disable the operation of the fixed devices in a TVWS channel that is no longer available or due to a communication failure between the AFAS and the Data Base. The AFAS Software is connected to the CPE through the Wireless Connection between the Base Station and the CPE. The CPE registration is done according to the procedure described in paragraph 3.4.4 below After the registration, if the CPE is allowed by the Data Base to operate in this location, the AFAS will receive from the TVWS Data Base the list of free channels that can be used in this location, and the operator shall configure the CPE-O-RS-WS with those channels. Note- The location and height of the CPE will be obtained by an accurate device ( >95%) such as GPS, or Google Earth application. Installation Process: Following the Registration process, the professional installer should proceed to the physical installation of the CPE at the designated site at the location (Latitude, Longitude and height) registered in the Data Base. The physical installation should be according to paragraph 3.5 and 3.6 of this Manual Turn on Process: After the physical installation the CPE-O-RS-WS is turned on and a link is established in one of the configured TVWS channels (the channel that the Base Station operates in), the management of the CPE-
O-RS-WS will be done over the air by the AFAS software over an IP network. AFAS connects every T hours (T<= 24 hours) with Spectrum Bridge (SB) TVWS database and retrieves for each of its related TVWS fixed devices (Base Stations and CPE-O-RS-WS) in its network an updated set of available TVWS channels. One of the channels of this set will be selected automatically by AFAS for use in the Base Station (RNU4000-TVWS) and its related CPEs. There is no possibility for the Base Station and its related CPEs to operate on any other channel which is not listed in the last updated set of available TVWS channels. In case that the CPE available channels will not coincide with the Base Station available channels the AFAS, or in case the AFAS is disconnected from the Data Base the CPE will turn off its transmitter by the AFAS and the CPE Runcom Technologies Ltd. 9 CPE-O-R-WS User Manual will not be able to transmit again until it will be synchronized with the Base Station in a new channel allocated by the TVWS Data Base via AFAS 3.4.3 CPE-O-RS-WS relocation In case the CPE is relocated to a different location than the location registered in the Data Base, the installer shall do a new registration according to paragraph 3.4.4 below prior to turning on the relocated CPE. The relocation must be to a new location that is covered by a registered TVWS Base Station. 3.4.4 Adding of CPE-O-RS-WS to the AFAS To add a CPE in the AFAS open the Site administration page in the AFAS and Choose CPE as shown in Figure 3 below.

AFAS operation Manual 1 Introduction- TVWS Solution Runcom's TVWS solution is a standard WIMAX 802.16e system which includes adaptations to support the TVWS spectrum and management requirements under FCC Part 15 mandatory requirements. Runcom's TVWS solution includes all network elements, management element and traffic control to guarantee high quality voice, video and data services over the TVWS spectrum. The following diagram describes the core network elements, and management resources of the entire WIMAX TVWS solution. Figure 1: WIMAX TVWS core network diagram Runcom Technologies Ltd. 1 AFAS operation Manual 1.1 Solution elements 1.1.1 AFAS AFAS, Advanced Frequency Allocation Software is a mediation device between authorized FCC TVWS location & frequency database and the base station radio units. The AFAS allocate frequencies to BTSs according to the BTS location, allowed frequencies, and in the future the algorithm will take into account measured interference parameters. The update cycle is lower than once a day, and it is configurable. Each BTS and CPE is recognized by its MAC address so no mistakes are possible. The AFAS is a software implemented on Python using Django open source framework and run on a Linux machine using OS Ubunto version 14.04. The AFAS requires internet connectivity in order to communicate with Spectrum Bridge TVWS Data Base at least once in 24 hours. The AFAS communicate with TVWS Data Base using Spectrum Bridge DB client and communicate with Runcom equipment using SNMP V2. 1.1.2 NOC (MicroNOC, Compact NOC) The xNOC unit is the main network operation controller of any WIMAX 802.16e network. The unit performs the following functions:
ASM gateway (Access Service Network Gateway). This element enforce all users and WIMAX element network's policies (bandwidth control, total traffic control, AAA profile, scheduling and more) DHCP server or mediation device between external DHCP server and the WiMAX elements. DNS server or mediation device between external DNS server and the WiMAX elements. Basic AAA. If higher level of AAA required the unit can be a mediation device to any AAA server which meet the RADIUS standards The xNOC units are identical for TVWS and all WIMAX networks, Runcom and non Runcom radio devices. For more information, commands, services and more please refer to SG-
UM-8500 V13 user manual (or later), SG-1 Vendor-Specific attributes user manual and Runcom's public database. 2 Runcom Technologies Ltd. AFAS operation Manual 1.1.3 Base Station Runcom's base station (BTS) is the center radio point which connects the customers' premises equipment and the users behind it to the core network and the internet. BTS support multiple CPEs (up to 128), mobility, network management (via SNMP V2) and GUI interface. The BTS fully support WiMAX standards with the adaptations needed to comply with the TWVS FCC regulations. For more information, installation procedures, configuration commands and more please refer to Runcom RNU4000BS User Manual RNPMG-
230914 V-3.8 user manual. 1.1.4 CPE The customer premises equipment (CPE) is the unit which connects the users to the internet over the TVWS core network. For information regarding the CPE installation and operation please refer to the CPE-O-R-WS User and Installation Manual (RNPMG-300516) Runcom Technologies Ltd. 3 AFAS operation Manual 2 AFAS Internal operation The AFAS unit is a software with access to the internet with permission to access the TVWS database and the NOC. 2.1 Adding new Base Station (BS) Prior to deployment of new BS, operator needs to update AFAS with the BS information, the expected installation location, the radio capabilities, and the initial frequency which is selected from the database manually and take into account the known interference in that area. After adding is done and the BS is active, the AFAS is automatically submitting a query to TVWS DB for allowed transmission channels for the new BS
(double check that all process is working properly). After receiving the TVWS DB response, AFAS will check that the initial frequency is in the allowed list, and in case of reject, it will use the best frequency selection algorithm and will send a set frequency command to the BS followed by start transmission command. Note: In phase 2 of AFAS development, AFAS will send measurement request to BS in order to verify the freshness of the environment noise levels which are crucial inputs to the channel selection algorithm. Figure 2 - Adding a new BS to the network 4 Runcom Technologies Ltd. AFAS operation Manual 2.2 Adding new CPE Installation of new CPE or CPE which has moved from its original location, the following actions must be done (Please also refer to the CPE-O-
R-WS User and Installation Manual):
1. Register the CPE at the AFAS with the expected location (longitude, altitude, height of the antenna) 2. Select the requested frequency for the CPE (the BTS frequency which this CPE is targeted to connect ) 3. The AFAS will check the new CPE TVWS channel allocation (the requested channels) by sending the information to TVWS DB using Spectrum Bridge client. 4. After receiving the response from the Data Base, AFAS will get a list of allowed frequencies for that CPE. 5. AFAS will create an allowed list for the CPE taking into consideration also the available BS in the CPE area, and will update the CPE device. Figure 3 - Adding a new CPE to the network Runcom Technologies Ltd. 5 AFAS operation Manual 2.3 Periodic update Periodic update is the process which must be done at least once every 24 hour. The procedure can be initiated by the system admin using AFAS frontend web interface or by the expiry of a timer using synced tasks in the AFAS management system. After getting the TVWS DB response, If the response does not have any changes in the TVWS channel availability the AFAS will not do any action to the TVWS system, If the response from the Data Base is different from the previous response AFAS will run a channel allocation algorithm which will allocate a TVWS channel to each BS and a set of allowed frequencies to each CPE 6 Figure 4 - Periodic channels update Runcom Technologies Ltd.
