A. INTRODUCTION
Introduction
The field of terrestrial microwave communications is constantly experiencing a steady
ensure the new Layer 2 radios were up to par with the new wave of traffic requirements
including wideband online-streamed media. These new techniques come in the form of
Quality of Service (QoS), Traffic Prioritization, RF Protection and Design, Spectrum
Utilization, and Capacity Enhancement.
With Carrier Ethernet and IP, network design becomes more demanding and complex in
terms of RF, Traffic Engineering, and QoS. However, the propagation concepts remain
unchanged from TDM link engineering while the links throughput of L2 radios doubles,
triples, or quadruples employing enhanced DSP techniques.

RF PROTECTION
Definitions
Protection Schemes provide a level of security from longterm (>10 CSES/event Consecutive Severely Errored
Seconds) outages and loss of data throughput, and
therefore improve Availability and reduce traffic
disconnects.
