Dynamic Adaptive Modulation

Goals

Increase network capacity (access and backhaul transmission)

Reduce CAPEX

How does it work?

Utilize highest possible modulation according to the link quality degradation

Hitless switchover between modulation schemes based on MSE criterion

Maximize spectrum usage

Increased capacity over given bandwidth

Ceragons Dynamic Adaptive Modulation

Extra 4 x capacity on a given Channel Bandwidth

Flow Control

Supports Flow Control according to IEEE 802.3x

When flow control is enabled, FibeAir IP-MAX sends

back PAUSE frames, for signaling that the incoming buffer is full
