LTE Backhauling
Market
requirements
The transition to the LTE era is expected to complete in the upcoming years,
since most mobile operators plan to maintain their existing GSM / UMTS
infrastructure for quite some time. The last mile is about to be dominated by a
flat, carrier Ethernet network with legacy traffic support to support backward
compatibility.
Application
schematic
Fig. 1 LTE backhaul application schematic
Description
WiBAS can provide last-mile connectivity while performing intense traffic

aggregation. In metro areas, where mobile subscriber density is very high,
last-hop connections can optimally be established with WiBAS backhaul.
A rich features set is available, including:
Aggregation of LTE traffic from multiple sites in urban areas.
Over-the-air traffic prioritization based on VLAN / priority bit / DSCP with
eight priority classes for end-to-end QoS.
Exchange of any signalling information (3GPP R.10 x 2 interfaces) among
the connected LTE cells (only 2 hops needed).
Low end-to-end latency and high user data privacy to meet the stringent
LTE requirements.
Legacy traffic (E1 TDM / ATM) support for migrating from mixed RAN to
LTE sites.
Synchronous Ethernet support.
Small Cell Backhaul
Market
requirements
Small cells are expected to dominate the mobile network evolution towards
4G. Intracom Telecom proposes a synergistic solution for small-cell
backhauling, which primarily can be established with WiBAS, and extend
further with the utilization of E-Band PtP backhaul technology (60 GHz).
These technologies have similar performance characteristics and are both
very attractive from a techno-economical perspective.
Application
schematic
Fig. 2 Small-cell application schematic
Description
Technology synergies, co-jointly with a smart network planning approach,

can overcome the LOS constraint and constitute a generalized and efficient
solution for small-cell backhaul applications.
Selecting PtMP as the primary small-cell backhaul technology, the entire
macro region can be covered by a single base station, strategically placed at
the aggregation point. In real networks, a careful deployment of the PtMP
base station can achieve LOS visibility to the majority of the desired small-cell
locations, typically at a percentage of 50% to 70%. Anyway, the expected
small-cell footprint range from 100 m to 300 m, which, from the radio planning
perspective, provides some flexibility with regard to the selection of the
appropriate location (lamp post or building), i.e. flexibility that could satisfy the
LOS backhaul condition.
Main advantages of a quad-sector PtMP system are: i) Single-hop approach,
ii) High scalability (several small cells per base station), iii) High reliability
(protection at the Base Station), iv) Minimum footprint at the aggregation
point, vi) Less operation and maintenance costs. New PtMP terminal, that is
about to serve a small cell, can be deployed without visiting the PtMP base
station.
Deploying LOS backhaul for small cells heavily depends on the network
design flexibility. When direct sight with the PtMP BS is impossible, there
exist additional connection points with existing backhaul infrastructure, i.e. the
surrounding macro cells, or the adjacent small cells. Where a LOS condition,
between a small cell and the overlaying macro cell, can be achieved, the 60
GHz unlicensed PtP system Ultralink-t60, available by Intracom Telecom, is
an excellent choice offering minimum incurring costs and zero spectrum fees.

WiBAS Network Architecture
Overview
A WiBAS network is based on a Point-to-Multi-Point (PtMP) architecture with

cell sectorization. A cell is a geographical area covered by a WiBAS system
incorporating a Base Station (BS), at the centre of the cell, and several
Terminal Stations (TS) scattered within the cell, as shown below:
Fig. 9 PtMP Architecture

15
Chapter: 3 WiBAS Network Architecture
WiBAS Network Architecture, Continued
Typical
WiBAS
architecture
A WiBAS cell is physically divided into usually two or four sectors and
served by the Base station Radio System (BRS), the outdoor part of the BS.
The BRS controls the radio links, between the BS and the scattered TS and
communicates with the outdoor part of each TS, the Terminal station Radio
Systems (TRS).
The indoor part of the BS (i.e. WiBAS -C), aggregates traffic from all TS
and provides the network interfaces to the backbone. The MSAD (MultiService Access Device), the indoor part of the TS, provides the user
interfaces.
All WiBAS network elements, for as many systems, may be configured,
controlled and monitored remotely through advanced Network Management
System (uni|MS)(1).
The schematic below depicts a typical WiBAS cell composed of a four
sectored Base Station serving several scattered Terminal Stations.
The Base Station aggregates and processes legacy TDM/ ATM and
packetized traffic from all served sites, and forwards it to the core network,
always preserving end-to-end Quality of Service.

24
WiBAS-C
Base Station Radio Antenna (BRA)
26/ 28 GHz BRA
BRA at 26/ 28 GHz is a small-size sector antenna attached to the BRB

through a well-protected flange, with no external adapters, cables, or
waveguides in between. This results in better performance and reliability,
since there are no interconnection losses and no sensitive material is
exposed to extreme environmental conditions for a long time.
Further, a BRB attached to a BRA occupies minimum space and can be
handled as a single unit, lowering transportation, installation and replacement
costs.
The following pictures show the two types of Base Station Radio Antennas
(BRA):

See also Appendix B - Antenna Characteristics, on page 106 for the

technical specifications of the available Base Station Antennas at 26/ 28
GHz.
25
Base Station Radio Antenna (BRA), Continued
10.5 GHz BRA
BRA at 10.5 GHz is a small-size sector antenna connected to the BRB

through a coaxial cable, for carrying the RF signal. This cable is terminated
to a male N-Type or SMA connector (BRB side) and to an N-Type connector
(BRA side).
For multi-sectored Base Station configurations, appropriate mechanical
supports are utilized, for mounting all the sector antennas on the same pole
(and at the same height), where installation space is at a premium.

WiBAS-C
Extended BRS
Extended BRS addresses the operator need for wide cell sector coverage (360o
and 180o) or longer ranges through dedicated links.
Extended BRS at 10.5 GHz is composed of a 4-way or 2-way microwave
splitter connected to BRB through coaxial cable for driving up to four or two
antennas through equal in number coaxial cables.
Extended BRS at 26/ 28 GHz is composed of a 4-way or 2-way microwave
splitter attached at the back of the BRB for driving up to four or two antennas
through equal in number waveguides. The following schematic shows an
indicative extended BRS at 26/ 28 GHz that is composed of 4-way microwave
splitter attached to BRB.
Fig. 23 Extended BRS 26/28 GHz
Extended BRS can be implemented either through four or two sectoral

antennas for 360o or 180o cell sector coverage respectively, or through four or
two directional antennas for communicating with equal in number distant sites.
For instance, four sectoral antennas can be connected to a 4-way splitter to
cover a 360 Geographical area, using only a single modem. In this case, the
sector capacity (throughput) will be distributed to the whole area.
Also, the directional antennas can point toward Terminal Station sites not
previously reached through sector Base Station antennas.
Another benefit of the Extended sites not previously reached through sector
Base BRS solution is that the interferences are very low in levels achieved by
PtP links.

Regarding the TRB with external TRA antenna, a coaxial cable length(2) is
used to connect the TRB with the external antenna, for carrying the RF
signal. In this case, the alignment procedure concerns the antenna itself and
not the TRB (and its mechanical support).
Regarding the 10.5 GHz TRB with integrated antenna, the alignment of the
antenna is carried out with the use of headset indicating the optimum
antenna pointing. Additionally, the mounting bracket is specially designed to
hold its orientation when 10.5 GHz TRB needs to be replaced. In this case,
readjustment of its orientation will not be needed.

Statistical Multiplexing
Overview
WiBAS brings to operators the benefits of statistical multiplexing for

exploiting the systems available capacity at the maximum.
Instead of dedicating fixed bandwidths for the several downlink wireless
connections (see schematic below, A), a single, wide-bandwidth pipe is used
(B) to serve the instantaneous capacity demands. This way, the excessive
system capacity can be used for other users and applications.

37
Overview
Within a WiBAS PtMP network, each served Terminal Station is

guaranteed a minimum bandwidth, while peak capacity (per sector) has been
calculated during the radio network planning.
Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) efficiently addresses the peak
demands that occur randomly in the WiBAS network (see the schematic
below). Excessive bandwidth demands (A1) are served in real time by an
available capacity pool (B2). This pool is shared among those Terminal
Stations that really need bandwidth beyond their predefined guaranteed
value.
The DBA mechanism of WiBAS is especially important in mobile 3G
networks where traffic demands may greatly vary over time.
Fig. 30 Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA)
38
WiBAS-C
Sector Protection Mechanism
Introduction
A very important key feature of WiBAS is the Sector Protection

functionality. WiBAS supports both 1:1 and 1+1 sector protection schemes.
The cases that lead to a TS loss of service due to sector failure, are
presented below:
Hardware or software problem in the working BRB.
Disconnection between of the working BRB and the associated PtMP
modem card.
Faulty PtMP modem card.
Sector antenna fault that leads to the loss of connection between the Base
Station and all configured Terminal Stations.
User initiated switchover command.
1+1 Sector
protection
In the 1+1 protection scheme, one WiBAS PtMP modem/ BRB subsystem
is working and another PtMP modem/ BRB subsystem is in standby mode.
Both subsystems are configured in the same way with the same connection
parameters and both are transmitting at the same frequency.
Fig. 31 1+1 Sector Protection
The working subsystem is considered as the default subsystem for all

processing related to a single sector.
The WiBAS-C control card constantly monitors the operation of the working
subsystem and initiates a switchover operation to the standby subsystem as
soon as it detects a connection failure (see list above).
After the switchover the standby subsystem takes control. Since the new
active sector has the same frequency with the TS the downtime is minimized
and all the TSs automatically get re-attached without the need for a new
ranging process.
39
Sector Protection Mechanism, Continued
1:1 Sector
protection
In the 1:1 protection scheme, two WiBAS PtMP modems/ BRB subsystems
are working in parallel and in different frequencies handling the sector traffic.
When any new connection is added to the network, its guaranteed rate is
calculated and reserved at both subsystems. In this way if one of them fails,
the other will have the capacity to support the total guaranteed rates of all the
connections. All TS have a frequency list that contains 2 frequencies: the
preferred subsystem frequency and the protected subsystem frequency.
The WiBAS -C control card constantly monitors the operation of both subsystems and initiates a switchover operation as soon as it detects connection
failure in any of the subsystems.
Fig. 32 1:1 Sector Protection
The process of the system switchover incorporates the following steps:

When a TS has no link to the subsystem after a number of retries to
reconnect, it will use the second frequency of its frequency list.
Failed TSs are pre-programmed to automatically scan to the active BRB
frequency
The TSs will start re-registering to active subsystem sequentially one by
one.
Information on the PHY parameters of the failed links (DL /UL modulation
formats, SNRs etc) are re-evaluated from the new subsystem controller.
TSs connection parameters like QoS / VLANs are re-established at the
active subsystem
After the switchover on both BS and TS, the guaranteed bit rates of all
connections are maintained and the remaining (non-guaranteed) sector
capacity is shared among all connections in a priority-based, best-effort
manner.

WiBAS-C
Air Scheduling
Introduction
The WiBAS uplink scheduler undertakes the task of allocating bandwidth to

Terminal Stations (MSADs) for transmitting data over the uplink channel,
upon received bandwidth requests by the MSAD. It is designed in order to
maximize the throughput while maintain fairness and adhere to QoS
guarantees. In both downlink and uplink, data is transmitted in bursts, within
the fixed duration that defines one frame.
The Uplink Scheduling Scheme is shown below:
Fig. 33 Uplink Scheduling Scheme
The mode of Uplink Scheduling Scheme depends on the type traffic send
through the link. Therefore:
For Ethernet traffic, a Packet Scheduler operates before the Air scheduler
and it schedules based on various classifiers using a selectable priority
scheme.
For TDM and traffic, only the Air scheduler is used.
Scheduling
delay
The bandwidth requests sent by the MSADs to inform the Base Station of
their queue status are not instantaneously available to the Base Station
scheduler. As a result, the Base Station scheduler has a delayed view of
the MSADs queues and bases its scheduling on that view which is delayed
by three frames. However, in actual traffic measurements, this delay will
only be observed in cases of near-congestion.
When the channel is not congested the BS scheduler allocates more
bandwidth to the MSADs than they request to reduce the delay of new
packets that may arrive during the scheduling delay.
Real-time delay
Real time (rtPS) connections feature a maximum transfer delay parameter.

In case that such a connection is idle for a period, depending on the
maximum transfer delay, the Base Station will do a periodical polling by
allocating a small amount of bandwidth to allow bandwidth requests from
the MSAD. This ensures that the MSAD can send a bandwidth request in
time for such a connection to be served within its delay requirements when
it becomes active.
41
Air Scheduling, Continued
Fairness
Fairness is achieved by fractional scheduling. This means that any queues that
contend for bandwidth (i.e. have the same priority) and whose total bandwidth
exceeds the available bandwidth, will receive bandwidth proportionally to their
required bandwidth. (1)
The fairness algorithm attempts to achieve fairness on the allocated transfer
bandwidth instead of the physical resource, which may vary according to the
MSADs physical mode.
QoS types &

priorities
A QoS type, a QoS profile and some extra parameters, which are specific to the
QoS type (e.g. Max Rate, Guaranteed Rate, etc) are assigned to each data
connection.
The Base Station air scheduler supports the following QoS types, listed from
highest to lowest priority:
1. Unsolicited Grant Service (UGS). UGS connections are defined by their
maximum traffic rate. The scheduler will always grant dedicated bandwidth
to the connection equal to the specified rate, regardless of whether the
bandwidth is actually utilized.
2. real-time Polling Service (rtPS). rtPS connections are defined by a
maximum traffic rate, a guaranteed traffic rate and a maximum transfer
delay. The scheduler will grant to the connection high-priority bandwidth
up to the guaranteed rate, but only while the connection is active (i.e. has
packets in its queue). If the connection requires bandwidth in excess of
the guaranteed rate, the scheduler will either drop it, treat it as best effort
up to the maximum rate dropping anything that exceeds the maximum rate
or treat it as best effort (ignoring the maximum rate) depending on the
QoS profile.
3. non real-time Polling Service (nrtPS). nrtPS connections are defined by
a maximum traffic rate and a guaranteed traffic rate. Similar to rtPS
connections, the scheduler will grant high-priority bandwidth up to the
guaranteed rate, but will not poll the MSAD for bandwidth requests. If the
connection requires bandwidth beyond the guaranteed rate the scheduler
will behave as in the rtPS case.
4. Best Effort (BE). BE connections are defined by a maximum traffic rate.
They are allotted the lowest priority. The scheduler may restrict the
bandwidth allocated to BE connections to the defined maximum rate or
not, depending on the connections profile.
5. Best Effort (BE+) with guaranteed rate. BE connections with guaranteed
rate are defined by a given guaranteed minimum traffic rate.
The scheduler follows strict priorities when scheduling data connections. This
means that in order to allocate bandwidth to lower-priority connections, the
queues of higher-priority connections must be fully served. For example, if
guaranteed traffic of rtPS, nrtPS and UGS connections takes up the entire
channel bandwidth BE traffic will not be served until the guaranteed portion of the
traffic is fully served.
(1)
42
The queue length is used as a measure of the required bandwidth.
WiBAS-C
Uplink Air
Scheduler
The uplink air scheduling is performed at every frame by the Base Station
and the resulting allocation concerns a single frame. The bandwidth
allocation for the uplink is send to the MSADs in a specific field within the
downlink frame.
The schematic below illustrates the WiBAS uplink scheduler.

Uplink Scheduler
The uplink scheduling is performed on a per-connection basis, where each

MSAD can have multiple connections and on each connection can be
assigned different QoS types (UGS, rtPS, nrtPS, Best Effort (BE) or Best
Effort Service (BE+) with guaranteed rate). Each restriction that has a perconnection QoS is kept and fairness is maintained among the connections
with the same QoS type. The scheduler also adopts fixed priorities based on
the QoS type.
To achieve a per-connection QoS-based scheduling, the WiBAS Base
Station (BS) is keeping track the queue status for all active connections of
every connected MSAD. This is achieved by building virtual queues, through
bandwidth requests sent by the MSADs to the Base Station with each virtual
queue being a mirror of a correspondence MSAD queue. However, the Base
Station, which can has a minimum guaranteed traffic (the equivalent of UBR+
in the ATM world), allocates bandwidth to each MSAD as a whole instead of
allocating bandwidth to each specific connection.
43
Uplink Air Scheduler (continued)
As a result, the uplink air scheduling is performed in two stages by two

schedulers: one located in WiBAS-C Base Station and the other in the
MSAD (Terminal Station).
At the first stage, called Base Station air scheduler, the Base Station
allocates bandwidth to each MSAD connected to the system, based on the
total bandwidth requested by the MSADs. The Base Station scheduler, via
uplink bandwidth requests, knows the length of the queues for all MSADs
as well as their QoS. So at each air frame, it allocates bandwidth to each
MSAD which is further allocated to the 16 uplink queues from the MSAD
local scheduler.
At the second stage, called local scheduler, each MSAD allocates the
bandwidth granted to it by the Base Station to its connections. Each MSAD
supports 16 queues which are given bandwidth from the MSAD local
scheduler based on the QoS of each queue and the bandwidth allocated
from Base Station.
Packet
Scheduler
For Ethernet traffic a Packet Scheduler operates before the air scheduler and
it schedules based on VLAN TAG P-bits (or DSCP bits) using a selectable
priority scheme. Packet scheduler is used for each Air connection opened for
ETH flows. Packet scheduler is located in MSAD (Terminal Station) while air
scheduling is running at both Base Station and Terminal Station.
Fig. 35 WiBAS
Packet Scheduler
Packet scheduler supports 8 queues where Ethernet frames are stored from
the Classifier which is based on the VLAN TAG P-bits of the Ethernet frame
(or the DSCP bits). Multi-queue priority block selects from the queues based
on its programmed priority scheme and forwards ETH traffic to a specific Air
Scheduler UL queue. This UL queue is scheduled from the Uplink Air
Scheduler based on Air QoS. Multi-queue priority block supports the
following scheduling schemes:
8 Strict Priorities
8 Mixed Priorities: 0-3 Strict, 4-7 WFQ
44
WiBAS-C
Base Station
Air Scheduler
In order to allocate bandwidth to the MSADs, the Base Station initially

determines the bandwidth that should be allocated to each connection,
based on the data kept on the MSAD queues, and reserves it from the
available bandwidth of the channel.
A strict priority order is kept in serving the connections, based on the QoS
type. Thus, in case the available bandwidth is exceeded, connections with
higher priority maintain their guaranteed portion of the channel bandwidth.
Among connections of the same priority fairness is maintained. Finally, the
bandwidth reserved for all connections of an MSAD is aggregated and
allocated to it as a whole.
MSAD (Local)
Scheduler
The MSAD (local) scheduler runs, as it is denoted, on the MSAD and

distributes the bandwidth allocated to it by the BS to its connections.
Similar to the BS air scheduler, the MSAD local scheduler respects any QoS
restrictions on its connections and maintains fairness in the case that the
total required bandwidth exceeds its allocated bandwidth.
In a way, the MSAD local scheduler is a scaled-down version of the BS air
scheduler.
Downlink
Scheduling
On the downlink path the data follow the reverse process that is described in
the previous paragraphs. Ethernet traffic is processed by a packet scheduler
exhibiting the same capabilities as those of the UL one with the 8 priority
queues and TR3C Policing Mechanism. In addition the DL packet scheduler
is capable of manipulating double tags supporting effectively Q-in-Q
functionality.
A main difference on the downlink direction is that the air cells are forwarded
through a cell shaper & scheduler that applies the QoS requirements of each
connection. (UGS, RTPS, nRTPS, BE, BE+)
45
Ethernet QoS
Ethernet QoS
WiBAS-C(1) supports advanced Ethernet QoS functionality at Layer 2/ 3 of

OSI model enabling the traffic prioritization and performing dynamic multicast
filtering. Ethernet QoS prioritizes network traffic and manages the available
bandwidth so that the most important traffic (packets with higher priority) to
be forwarded first when network congestion occurs.
The Ethernet traffic processing stages, which contribute to the WiBAS-C
QoS mechanism (ingress to egress), are described below:
Stage
Classifier
Meter
(1)
Function
Classifies the incoming packets in distinct Class of
Services (CoS) based on various L2 or L3 criteria,
such as:
Port
VLAN id
p-bit
DSCP
Measures the incoming information rate.
Policer
Compares the measured information rate with the

predefined rate limits typically CIR / EIR and CBS /
EBS and applies traffic policing with drop option
(two-rate, three-color marking) for post- processing
by the scheduler stage. Non-conforming frames are
either discarded or tagged (marked).
Forwarder
Forwards the packets to the physical (Ethernet) ports

based on their VLAN id and MAC address.
Enqueuer
Enqueues egress packets in eight (8) queues based

on L2 port p-bits to queue mapping, or based on
policer.
Scheduler
Schedules the egress packets based on Strict

Priority or WFQ. Depending on the color marking,
packets are accordingly forwarded.
Transmitter
Transmits the packets toward the radio path.
L2 bridge functionality is supported by the WiBAS-C BASE STATION indoor equipment and also by the

WiBAS-C
TR3C Policing Mechanism
Policing
Mechanism
WiBAS-C system supports the Two-Rate 3 Colors (TR3C) method(1) of

measuring the bandwidth profile. Two-rate, three-color metering allows
incoming frames that conform to the Committed Information Rate (CIR) to be
admitted to the network. Frames that exceed even the Excess Information
Rate (EIR) are discarded immediately, and frames that exceed the CIR, but
not the EIR, are marked yellow for possible discard later, should the network
become congested.
Two-Rate TCM policer requires a bandwidth profile that specifies the
average rate of committed and excess Ethernet packets allowed into
network at the switch port.
Packets that are transmitted up to the committed rate are allowed into the
providers network and delivered per the service performance objectives
specified in the Service Level Agreement (SLA) or Service Level
Specification (SLS). Those packets are in-profile or conformant with the
bandwidth profile.
Packets sent above the committed rate and below the excess rate are
allowed into the providers network but are delivered without any service
performance objectives. Those packets are out-of-profile or nonconformant to the bandwidth profile.
Packets sent above the excess rate are discarded.

Rate (CIR)
Excess Information Rate
(EIR)
Description
Is the average rate up to which packets are
marked green. These packets are referred to
as CIR-conformant.
Specifies the average rate up to which packets
are admitted to the network. The EIR is greater
than or equal to the CIR. Packets that exceed
the CIR, but are below the EIR are marked
yellow. Because these packets do not conform
to the CIR, the network does not provide any
guarantees with regard to their delivery.
Packets that exceed the EIR, do not conform
and are marked red, and are discarded.
Because traffic levels can fluctuate, the tworate, three color metering process enables the
traffic to burst above the CIR and EIR a certain
amount before marking the packets yellow and
red, respectively
(1)
There are two main methods of measuring the bandwidth profile, the Two-Rate, three colors metering
and the Single-Rate, three colors metering. WiBAS-C system supports the Two-Rate, three colors
metering method.

Committed Burst Size

(CBS)
Is the maximum number of bytes allowed for

Excess Burst Size (EBS)
Is the maximum number of bytes allowed for

incoming packets to burst above the EIR and
still be marked yellow. When the burst size has
been exceeded, packets above the EIR are
marked red.
Policer types
Policer Type
48
Description
Color Blind TCM

Policer
Directs all frames through the entire policer,

regardless of their color, thus enables the frame to
receive any output color no matter what color it
entered with. This means that a low priority frame
(red) can receive a higher priority (e.g. green).
Color Aware TCM

Policer
Classifies the frames color before it is sent through

the policer, and thus enables a frame to receive only
the same or a lower priority than the one it has. For
example: a yellow marked frame cannot receive a
green colour in a colour aware TCM policer, only a
yellow or a red colour.
WiBAS-C
Security Features
Introduction
WiBAS advanced inherent features enable provisioning of efficient

solutions to address contemporary communication needs of the Corporate
users. The system employs advanced QoS mechanisms that assure service
delivery and preserve the quality of voice and broadband data applications.
The requirements for communication integrity and security, which is essential
for critical applications, are fulfilled by the closed system architecture and
the use of DES encryption algorithm.
Security
mechanism
The WiBAS system effectively uses a central Hub station that establishes
direct links with each individual Terminal Station The communication
between Base Station and Terminal Stations is controlled by a highly
advanced scheduler that resides in the WiBAS Base Station.
During the initial ranging phase each individual Terminal Station is registered
to the Base station with each unique credentials that are entered at the Base
Station by the Operator. Therefore, the Base Station fully controls the
communication towards the Terminal Stations and no Terminal Station can
register to the central Hub autonomously.
The communication between the Base Station and the Terminal Station is
not only based on proprietary, closed and highly advanced mechanism but
it is also of dynamic nature. Effectively allocation of system resources (i.e.
transmission time slots) and operation mode (i.e modulation scheme) is
dynamically adapting to bandwidth demand and transmission conditions.
Thus the transmission mechanism is not fixed and predefined. Within this
context, an eavesdropper could not possibly decrypt the information
transmitted. Moreover, due to WiBAS proprietary nature no standard
equipment analyzing the air frame exists in the market.
Also attempting to impersonate MAC address is not possible since this would
require first of all analysing the transmitted air frame. Even in this case, MAC
antispoofing mechanism exists that uniquely bind the MAC address to
specific air connections.
Additional
security
features
Additional security is offered by encrypting the information transmitted over

the air by employing DES with four TEKs and IVPs that are common to all
Terminal Stations, for encrypting/ decrypting the MAC PDUs.

IP services
WiBAS system supports up to 400 concurrent VLAN services and 4094

customer VLAN IDs (corresponding to a maximum of 4094 IP services) through
the available GbE physical ports. These ports can be configured in trunk mode
and support auto negotiation 1000 Mbit/s operation.
The customer VLANs can be assigned as follows (without any limitation):
Up to 4094 customer VLAN IDs can be assigned to the WiBAS Base Station
(VLAN transparent services)
Up to 4094 customer VLAN IDs can be assigned to each WiBAS Terminal
Station (VLAN transparent services)
IP services can be configured through the LCT application, or through the
uniIMS Network Management System.
TDM services
Through the systems available E1/G.703 and STM-1 (VC-12) physical ports,
the following TDM services are supported:
Structured nx64 kbit/s TDM services (n = 2 to 32, CRC / no-CRC)
Unstructured (unframed) TDM services
The number of TDM services that can be delivered depends on the type and the
number of the physical TDM ports at the Base Station and the Terminal
Stations.
For instance, assuming 64 kbit/s unstructured TDM services (nx64 kbit/s, n = 1)
and E1/G.703-only physical ports, each E1 stream can deliver up to 32 TDM
services, and as follows:
WiBAS-C Base Station can provide up to:
32 TDM services (per E1 port) x 32 E1 ports = 1024 total TDM services
A Terminal Station (equipped with the appropriate MSAD model) can provide up
to 32 TDM services (per E1 port) x 12 E1 ports = 384 total TDM services
TDM services can be configured through the LCT application or through the
uni|MS Network Management System.
Outband
management
ports
The Fast Ethernet (FE) ports of the WiBAS-C Base Station subrack are used
for outband local / remote management. These ports comply with IEEE 802.3
(10BaseT & 100BaseT) standard and support:

8.3 Radio & Modem Performance
Introduction
To attain the highest possible net spectrum efficiency, WiBAS utilizes

minimum overhead for transporting all types of traffic.
WiBAS also employs adaptive PHY modes to guarantee optimal robustness
vs performance balance, together with maximum capacity.
The PHY mode that will be used depends on the environmental conditions,
the interference and the RF channel, which is different for each subscriber/
frame.
Moving from the most robust PHY mode (4QAM 2/3 + RS) toward less robust
PHY modes (e.g. 64QAM), the system switches from the highest robustness
(required at poorest RF conditions) to higher efficiency (required at good RF
conditions), which results in increased bandwidth.
This section provides the WiBAS radio and modem performance, inclusive
of:

Radio Performance
Introduction
WiBAS is designed in accordance to ETSI EN 302 326 specifications.

In the DL direction (i.e. from the Base Station to the Terminal Stations), static
Tx power control is applied. The maximum Tx power values for the Base
Station (see following paragraphs) are supported for all modulation schemes.
In the UL direction (i.e. from the Terminal Stations to the Base Station), Tx
power control at the Terminal Stations is realized using Automatic
Transmitting Power Control (ATPC).

System Gains
Introduction
This paragraph provides the typical margin-less System Gains per

frequency band, for manual modulation selection and BER = 10-6.
For adaptive modulation selection 7-10 dB switching margin has to be left
(except of the minimum modulation).

For BER = 10 , subtract 0.5 dB (-0.5 dB)

-11
For BER = 10 , subtract 1 dB (-1 dB)

NOTE
NOTE
System Gain at
10.5 GHz
Operation of 256 QAM is available only with the use of adaptive

modulation including switching margin. Use of minimum
modulation is recommended for modulations 16QAM or lower.
64QAM as minimum is also possible provided that there is
enough fade margin and link budget analysis.
For system gains, 64 and 256 QAM modulation is the same for
both standard and increased Tx power. For 4 QAM 2/3, 4 and 16
QAM the system gains are dependant on the Tx power of the BS.

Cell Sector Ranges
Introduction
This paragraph provides indicative cell sector ranges for all the WiBAS
frequency bands (10.5 / 26 / 28 GHz).
Various configurations of the WiBAS Base Station (BS) are possible,
depending on the specific area coverage needs (see schematics at the bottom
depicting the lobes of Base Station antennas):
Standard BRS: Basic BS configuration for wide coverage of a geographical
sector area (typically 90o), using a single BRB radio box and an attached
BRA sector antenna.
Extended BRS: Special BS configuration for extended coverage (60% to
80% gain with respect to standard BRS ranges), using a single BRB radio
box, one 2-way / 4-way splitter and up to four parabolic antennas.
