1.1
NR8000 Product Introduction

ZTEs radio system NR8000 is a packet-based solution to offer carrier grade Ethernet
transmission where the packet based traffic is predominant, giving consideration to
support the still present TDM traffic. NR8000 represents the capability to allow smooth
migration from the hybrid platform to the packet platform in the Mobile Backhauling
networks.
NR8000 portfolio has released 7 models - NR8120, NR8120A, NR8120D, NR8150,

NR8250, NR8950 and NR8000TR:
NR8120A/NR8120D is the enhanced hardware version of NR8120. Comparing with

NR8120, some features are new added: HQoS, XPIC, 512 to 2048QAM, hardware
architecture prepared for 4096QAM/MPLS/STM-1. NR8120A/D also provides much
more traffic interfaces than NR8120. NR8120A provides 1 radio direction while
NR8120D provides 2 radio directions.
NR8150 is a 1U height box which can support maximum 3 radio directions, which is
usually used at terminal, repeater or hub site. When NR8150 IDU combining with
NR8950, which can provide max. 12 radio directions and support the modulation
range from QPSK to 2048 QAM.
NR8250 is a 2U height box that supports maximum 6 radio directions or 7 traffic

cards to provide nodal solution. When NR8250 IDU combining with NR8950, which
can provide max. 20 radio directions and support the modulation range from QPSK
to 2048 QAM.
NR8950 is all outdoor microwave radio to provide all-packet transmission solution

for mobile backhaul and private network.
NR8000TR consists of three basic units, IDU, ODU and OCU (Outdoor Coupling
Unit). It supports multiple configurations, such as 6+0, 7+1, 8+0 XPIC to fulfill more
scenarios, trunk, backbone transmission and so on.
NR8120, NR8120A, NR8120D, NR8150 and NR8250 share the universal outdoor
parts, including ODU, waveguide and antenna. Furthermore, NR8250 and NR8150
share some of the traffic interface boards and core control units.

offers maximum two radio directions, six Gigabit Ethernet (one of the GbE optical
interfaces is GbE/10GbE combo), two STM-1 (in roadmap) and sixteen E1 interfaces.
NR8120A/D provides a cost efficient high capacity access microwave transmission
solution with unified hybrid & packet platform, which can transmit single or mixed native
TDM, emulated TDM (CESoETH) and native Ethernet service at the same time.
Therefore, one NR8120A/D IDU can be used as both hybrid radio for TDM&IP network
and packet radio for all-IP network with suitable service boards and software
configuration. Its perfect for a hybrid to all-packet migration.
1.3
System Introduction
The NR8120A/D microwave system includes indoor unit (IDU) and outdoor unit (ODU).
The ODU is a waterproof unit and can be mounted on antenna in direct or remote way.
1.3.1
IDU
Indoor unit (IDU) provides core control, baseband processing, switching/cross

connection and service access function. As an entire system, the indoor unit is
connected with a radio unit (ODU) via an Intermediate Frequency (IF) cable.

ODU
ODU is the outdoor unit of the NR8000 series, it delivers power amplification and radio
frequency (RF) conversion functions
There are two types of ODU, SRU and HRU:
SRU: Normal transmit power ODU, operates in the frequency range of 6-42 GHz
(6/7/8/10/11/13/15/18/23/26/28/32/38/42 GHz), support QPSK to 2048 QAM
[Note]
HRU: High transmit power ODU, operates in 6/7/8/11 GHz, support QPSK to 1024
QAM.
There are three important interfaces on the ODU:
RF in/out interface (waveguide type) for connecting to antenna
IF in/out interface (N type) for connecting to modem board
RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) interface (BNC type) for RF receiver
signal monitoring

Flexible ODU Mounting Methods

The ODU has two mounting methods: direct mounting and remote mounting. All the
frequency sub-bands support these two mounting methods.
Mounting suggestions are described as following:
Direct mounting is suggested for single-polarized antenna:
For 1+0 configuration, the ODU is directly connected on antenna.
For 1+1 configuration, a combiner is used to connect the 2 ODUs together and
then connected on the antenna.
For 2+0 configuration, if the 2 ODUs frequencies are covered by the same
combiner, they might adopt direct mounting; otherwise, they should adopt
remote mounting.
Remote mounting is usually used for dual-polarized antenna or big-size antenna. In

this situation, waveguides are used to connect ODUs to antenna.

Functions and Features

The main functions and features of NR8120A/D are described in this chapter. Functions
of NR8120 are inherited by NR8120A/D and some of them are improved, such as HQoS,
enhanced LAG and higher level modulation.
2.1
Unified Platform for Hybrid and Packet Microwave

One NR8120A/D unit can be used as hybrid and packet radio (enhanced ETH or MPLS),
which can transmit pure or mixed native TDM, emulated TDM, native Ethernet and MPLS
service at the same time. With the MPLS based hardware & software, NR8120A/D will
process IP MPLS or MPLS-TP service.
Recently, both hardware & software are released for enhanced ETH; MPLS is hardware
ready. In this version, NR8120A/D can transmit native TDM, emulated TDM and native
Ethernet service over the same radio link.
14
It is always possible to migrate from the hybrid radio to the packet radio by applying the
proper software, hardware and upgrading the license accordingly. Both hybrid and
packet radio can be supported by the same unit.

Smooth migration from TDM to packet, saving CAPEX
Flexible network for different requirements, easy deployment
Circuit Emulation Service over Ethernet (CESoETH)

CESoETH (Circuit Emulation Service over Ethernet), is a kind of circuit emulation
technique to carry TDM service over packet switching network (PSN). It is defined by
MEF3 & MEF8 for implementing interoperable CES equipment that reliably transport
TDM circuits across Metro Ethernet Networks while meeting the required performance of
circuit emulated TDM services as defined in ITU-T and ANSI TDM standards. Some
standards adopt a kind of similar technique - PWE (Pseudo Wire Emulation) to achieve
TDM over PSN. From the perspective of the target, CES and PWE are the same.
As shown in Figure 2-2, CES processing unit emulate the TDM circuit at local end and
re-creating the TDM circuit at far end.

NR8120A/D allows the access equipment to smoothly evolve in line with the new
technology and related protocols (TDM/Ethernet) without site swapping, which keeps the
value of the contributed investments.
NR8120A/D supports Structure-Agnostic Emulation (be equal to SAToP (RFC4553)) and
Structure-Aware Emulation (be equal to CESoPSN (RFC5086)) for G.704 defined E1
service, totally 16 circuit emulation services are supported by one IDU recently:
Structure-Aware Emulation (structured CES)

Structured CES strips off the TDM overhead and just passes the payloads. It allows
for more efficient use of MEN bandwidth, fewer circuits, and better network
aggregation. Furthermore, structured CES realizes N*64kbit/s timeslot compression
for E1 traffic. This implementation agreement defines the structure-aware emulation
of the E1 services using structure-lockedas described in [Y.1413]:
N64kbit/s basic service
N64kbit/s service with Channel Associated Signaling (CAS)
Structure-Agnostic Emulation (Unstructured CES)

Compared with structured CES, unstructured CES passes all traffic received. It's
simpler in TDM overhead, including signaling, timing and fault detection (Alarms)
which are preserved and passed through end to end. This implementation
agreement defines the structure-agnostic emulation of G.704 defined E1. The
payload format is described in [Y.1413].

High Performance Switching Capacity

NR8120A/D supports L2 switching and TDM circuit emulation functions.
The processing capacity of NR8120A/D is shown in Table 2-1 and the available service
switching capacity depends on the hardware and software configuration.

Intelligent Cooling System

An intelligent fan unit is adopted by NR8120A/D to reduce the OPEX and noise.
The running speed of fan is automatically adjusted according to the equipments
temperature, which could reduce the power consumption in real time. The lower
temperature the equipment is the less power it cost. And meanwhile, the noise caused by
the running fan is reduced obviously.
The relationship between board temperature and fan power consumption is shown in
Figure 2-3.
17
Figure 2-3
Intelligent cooling system
The benefits of intelligent cooling system include:
2.5
Lower power consumption in low temperature condition.
Lower noise, comfortable working environment
Low running speed tendency, longer service life
Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC)

ATPC is used to lower the RF transmit power when environmental conditions are good in
order to reduce wireless interference. Under fading conditions, the transmit power is
automatically increased to compensate for far end signal loss and to guarantee the link
performance. The 40 dB/s (whole system) and 90 dB/s (ODU) reaction speeds can
counteract the wireless link fading.
2.6
Adaptive Coding & Modulation (ACM)

The NR8120A/D supports both fixed modulation and Adaptive Coding and Modulation
(ACM) mode in all frequencies and Channel Spacing (CS).
18
In fixed modulation condition, the radio working status and capacity will not change
unless manual configuration. Once the signal quality is degrading lower than receiver
threshold, the link will break down and all the services are affected.
ACM enables the radio capacity to change according to the link quality, which is a perfect
way to supply additional best effort traffic under normal weather conditions. When
extreme weather conditions, such as a storm, affect the transmission and receipt of data
and voice over the wireless network, an ACM-enabled radio system automatically
changes modulation according to MSE (Mean Square Error, that indicates the signal
quality), which allows the high priority data (e.g. real time data) to continue to run
uninterrupted. With ZTEs solution, no bit errors are generated during the modulation
change; it is designed for Carrier Grade networks.

2.6.1
Enhanced ACM
When planning ACM-based radio links, enhanced ACM allows the radio maintains the
highest level modulation with the lowest transmit power (Tx power ). Once fading
accrued, NR8120A/D will increase the Tx power quickly in order to keep the high
modulation. Once the Tx power achieves the maximal value of the current modulation,
the modulation will degrade to lower level, meanwhile the allowed maximum transmit
power will be increased to the maximal Tx power of current low modulation (the lower
modulation is the higher max. Tx power it has). When fading disappeared, NR8120 will
regain the highest modulation firstly and then decrease the TX power if the signal quality
can meet the requirement of the highest modulation.
19
2.6.2
ACM with QoS

Once ACM mechanism is activated, the QoS mechanism will schedule the services
according to the priority policies. For further information about Ethernet QoS functionality,
please refer to chapter 2.12 Ethernet QoS.
The advantages of ZTEs ACM include:
Maximized spectrum usage
Hitless and errorless modulation/coding changes based on signal quality. Carried

grade modulation changing rate is 10ms per level
Adaptive maximum Tx power per modulation for maximal system gain per working
point
An integrated QoS mechanism that enables intelligent congestion management to

ensure that high priority traffic is not affected during link fading:
Native E1 has higher priority than Ethernet traffic. E1 channels can be

assigned with different priorities to enable differentiated E1 dropping during
severe link degradation
The priorities of emulated E1s are defined by the Ethernet priorities of the
emulated E1.

2.9
Load Balance
The NR8120A/D supports Ethernet traffic load balance at line and radio side. Three kinds
of techniques are used: Physical Layer Aggregation (PLA), Link Aggregation Group (LAG)
and Enhanced LAG.
PLA can send one Ethernet stream to far end through several radio channels, which
is very useful for delivering large streams. Its an intelligent way of increasing
23
bandwidth utilization by adjusting the radio channels throughputs dynamically

according to their forwarding efficiency.
LAG can realize multi-channel load balance by XOR and hash algorithm based on
MAC address, IP address (IPv4/IPv6);
Enhanced LAG can deliver different streams into different radio channels according
to XOR/hash algorithm based on MAC/IP address (IPv4/IPv6), port ID, VLAN ID,
Ethernet type, MPLS label.
Note:
1.
LAG/Enhanced LAG will send the same stream through the same radio channel except the
channel is failed.
2.
Only one of the above techniques should be applied for the same aggregation
group.
3.
The 802.3ad or 802.1ax standard specifies that all ports in a LAG must have the same data
rate and must be configured as full duplex.
2.9.1
LAG/Enhanced LAG for Ethernet Line Protection

LAG/Enhanced LAG can be also used for link redundancy/protection.
Multiple LAN connections between two nodes can be grouped in a logical bundle. When
a link of the group fails the traffic will be switched to other operational links. For a link
failure the switch from failed path to operational path takes less than 50 ms and does not
impact the service. As shown in Figure 2-5, path 1 and path 2 belongs to one LAG.
Normally, the streams between the Microwave and the third party equipment are
transferred through the two paths. Once path 1 is broken; the streams of path 1 will be
switched to path 2.
LAG function is usually used at important connection site for line protection between
microwave IDU and other equipment.

Double Spectrum Efficiency: XPIC (CCDP)

Co-Channel Dual Polarization (CCDP) with Cross Polarization Interference Canceller
(XPIC) technology is one of the best ways to enhance spectral efficiency. With this
function, one frequency source could be used as two carriers to double the throughput.
A high performance dual-polarized antenna should be used to minimize the
cross-polarization interference.

which can deliver a wireless backhaul solution with enhanced availability, high
reliability and high throughput.
PLA or LAG/enhanced LAG is usually used in XPIC radio link to achieve load
balance and high throughput
2.11
Header Compression
In order to improve the transmission efficiency and the throughput under the limited radio
source, an encapsulation efficiency technology called Frame Header Compression is
25
adopted by NR8120A/D. This technology can compress the header fields of L2 to L4

packet, such us Ethernet packet on L2, IP packet on L3, UDP on L4. Besides that, this
technology can also compress MPLS packet. The Ethernet throughput could be
increased to 320% maximally (based on IPV6 data, L2 to L4 header compression).
Note: The actual increased throughput depends on the packet size and compression scheme.
2.12
Ethernet QoS
The Quality of Service (QoS) indicates the performance of data stream over a network. It
promises to provide end-to-end services of high quality for users by resolving network
delay and congestion problems. In case of network overload or congestion, QoS ensures
high priority traffics. The following features are supported:

2.13.1
Ethernet Link OAM

Ethernet Link OAM supports fault management on Ethernet links according to IEEE
802.3ah (also called EFM) and provides fault management and performance
monitoring in the Metro Ethernet Network (MEN) access link. It is used in physical line
connection scenario (Note: Ethernet Link OAM is only supported for LAN interfaces ).
The three main Ethernet Link OAM areas are supported:
1.
Link Performance Monitoring
Link performance monitoring is used for event notification on error frames at both near
and far end and is used on NEs in operation. The notifications are based on a threshold
crossing within a specific time window.
2.
Failure Notification
Notices the Ethernet link failure to the far end that in OAM operation.
3.
Remote Loopback
Link OAM remote loopback can be used for fault localization and link performance testing
on LAN interfaces.
2.13.2
Ethernet Service OAM

IEEE 802.1ag (also called CFM") is a standard defined by IEEE. It defines protocols and
practices for OAM for paths through 802.1 bridges and local area networks (LANs).
IEEE 802.1ag is largely identical with ITU-T Recommendation Y.1731, which additionally
addresses performance management.
The main Ethernet service OAM areas are described below.

Loopback (LB) is used for fault confirmation and fault
LB
location. The loopback defined in IEEE 802.1ag is a kind of

unicast loopback that brings no user service interruption.
Link Trace (LT) is used for fault location and route
LT
discovery. When this function is enabled, the service route

and failure point of the demand link is list.
Frame Loss Measurement (LM) is used to measure
LM
Y.1731
Ethernet end-to-end frame lost ratio, which is lunched by the

network manager. Both single side and double side LM is
supported by the NR8120A/D.
Frame Delay Measurement (DM) is used for on-demand
OAM to measure Ethernet end-to-end frame delay and
DM
frame delay variation. Both one-way and two-way DM is

supported (Note: One-way DM requires time synchronization of
the NEs. Two-way DM is used for time delay test).
RDI
Remote Defect Indication (RDI) informs the remote MEP

there is a fault occurred at local MEP.
Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) suppresses alarms at the
AIS
client-layer MEPs after detecting a fault or an AIS condition

at the server-layer MEP.
Locked Signal (LCK) suppresses the alarms generated by
LCK
out-of-service management or testing. The MEPs which

received LCK information will ignore the link failure caused
by the test.
Testing signal (TST) is used for Ethernet throughput and
TST

switching signal for G.8032 ring protection.
29
2.14
Microwave Security
NR8120A/D can prevent unauthorized logins and operations, ensuring network, radio
link and equipment management security.
2.14.1 Radio Link Security Identification (Link Security ID)

Link Security Identification (link security ID) is used to avoid mismatch between two radio
links. Two ends of a radio link with different radio link IDs will not communicate each
other even if they have other proper configurations. Its a good way of preventing
undesired link connection to improve network security, such as the third party malicious
data interception. Alarms will be reported and the traffic will be interrupted once link ID
differences between local and remote sites are detected.
2.14.2
Access Control List (ACL)

Access Control List (ACL) can classify the ingress packets and implements white list and
black list management to enhance the network security.
White list can be created via setting ACL parameters to specify which kind of traffic that
can be transferred per port. When a white list is enabled, only the frames in the white list
are allowed; other traffic will be discarded.
Black list can be created reversely.
2.14.3
Broadcast Storm Control

Filters can be created per port to prevent broadcast and multicast storms. Individual
filters are used for broadcast and multicast traffic. The limit is specified as fixed rate
(frames per second). When the limit is reached, additional frames will be discarded until
the frame rate is below the specified threshold. The storm control filters are list as below.
30
Broadcast packet.
Multicast packet (IP multicast/MAC multicast).
Unknown single cast packet.
2.14.4

1.
Administrator
2.
Operator
3.
Browse User
Administrator has the highest authority and browse user is the lowest. The OMC could
set different authorization for each kind user to ensure the management security.
NR8120A/D will record and send the log and configure action to the EMS server.
2.14.5 Radio Link Encryption

the third parties unauthorized access to microwave transmission network. This function
can effectively prevent transmit data to be illegally obtain or modify.
Encryption algorithms include:
2.14.6
Symmetric key algorithms: 128-bit AES
Symmetric key algorithms: 256-bit AES
Other Security Features

More security features are supported shown as following:
Secure communication channels: SNMP V1 to V3, SSH, HTTPS and SFTP.

2.15 High Accuracy Clock Supply and Synchronization

NR8120A/D supports diversified clock in/out options and provides the mainstream
synchronization methods.
The microwave system could synchronize from local crystal oscillator, radio frame and
the external clock input. NR8120A/D can also distribute clock signal to other equipments
(base station for instance).
The main features include:
The clock accuracy complies with the ITU-T G.813 and ITU-T G.8263 standard,
supporting three working modes: locked, holdover, free running.
Extract clock from E1 interface, radio interface, Ethernet interface and clock
interface. (Note: Clock accuracy of Sync from E1 complies with G.823.)
Supports BITS (2 Mbit/s / 2 MHz) clock input or output, and supports 1PPS+ToD
output

Frequency Auto-scanning
Frequency scanning is a detection technique to help us to find out the interference by
scanning receiver radio signal in the range of ODUs frequency sub-band, and found a
high quality microwave transmission link. The higher the receiver signal level is, the
severer the interference will be. Frequency scanning is supported by NR8000 series
products in range of 6 to 42 GHz. (Notes: When supporting frequency auto-scanning, the ODU
model of NR8000 split-type equipments should be SRU/HRU.)
One can benefit from three aspects as follows:
During site building, we can confirm whether there is adjacent station or overreach
station interference in short time.
If the decline of transmission quality caused by poor signals during operation,

maintainers can detect the interference frequency source accurately, and avoid
interference by rearranging the frequency plan
33
This function is realized by microwave equipment without any expensive frequency

scanning instrument such as spectrum analyzer to save the operating cost.
2.18
Intelligent License Control

All the functions of NR8000 are prepared once the hardware is deployed. Considering a
step-by-step and low risk investment, some enhanced functions are controlled by
software license. Thus, capital shortage and over investing are avoided.
In order to manage the license, standing on customer site, ZTE creates an industrial
leading intelligent license management system, which is a kind of centralized and flexible
license control solution with 3 typical features:
Centralized license pool (License center).
Bulk import license.
Transferable license.
Figure 2-8
Intelligent license control schematic
License file can be bulk imported to the license center (separated server or share EMS
server) and act as license pool. After that, the on-line network elements (NEs) will
request license from license pool (or release license to license pool) automatically
according to link requirement. Manual setting is also supported.
Intelligent license control brings:
34
Importing the license in bulk, save time.
License can be enabled automatically, easy maintenance.
License reusing, reduce CAPEX.
License transfer, easy site relocation.
Function adjustment, optimize network performance.
2.19 Link Capacity Pass-Through (LCPT)

When microwave transmission capacity changes (such as ACM regulation or PLA/LAG
switchover trigger capacity changes), traditional microwave will handle transmission
services based on its own configuration, usually some low-priority services will be
discarded. However NR8000 provide LCPT function, which Improve network utilization
and network availability.
LCPT is a new E2E technique, which can be used for ZTE microwave and wireless
network interaction. NR8000 equipments will send LCPT messages (customized IEEE
802.3ah OAM packets) to downstream base stations when microwave radio capacity
changes. Then the base station controller will send orders to the affected base stations to
adjust the traffic rate. ZTE unique LCPT function enables the base station to sense the
microwave radio capacity change timely:
Microwave radio capacity reduction: the BSC will schedule the services flexibly and
the downstream base station will reduce access services accordingly;
Microwave radio capacity increase: the downstream base station will be

synchronized to improve access services based on users requirements.
Therefore, the services will be adjusted actively by the base station instead of being
discarded by the microwave equipment passively.

Application Scenarios
As versatile equipment, NR8120A&D can be used at terminal site in chain and ring
network topology.
In order to enhance the reliability and resilience, 1+1 protection configuration is usually
adopted in chain network.
With Ethernet STP/RSTP/MSTP,G.8032v1,G.8032v2 and wireless SNCP ring protection
schemes, the service availability and management data are guaranteed. In ring network,
1+0 non-protection configuration is adopted to reduce the cost (equipment, room space
and project cost).
55
5.2.1
Tree Network
Tree topology is wildly used in backhaul network, which is a kind of simple and easy
deployment transmission solution.
Figure 5-5 shows a simply tree network: 1+0 configuration is widely adopted in access
layer and 2+0 east-to-west is adopted for aggregation layer

In the network, access, aggregation and metro sites might have different configurations,
the ZTEs suggestion is:
1+0 non-protection is widely adopted in access layer. For important link, 1+1
protection configuration is a better choice.
1+1 protection configuration is usual adopted in aggregation layer, which enhance

the reliability of the service. Sometimes, 2+0 FD or 2+0 XPIC function is used for
high throughput link.
For minority metro sites, 1+1 protection configuration is adopted for medium
capacity link and 2+2 XPIC configuration is deployed for high throughput link.
At the joint site of microwave and carrier network, link aggregation (LAG) or SNCP
could offer link protection for Ethernet or TDM service.
56
5.2.2
Ring Network
Ring topology is mainly used in aggregation layer, which offers a resilient backhaul
network. This kind of network is favored by the operators who dislike 1+1 protection
configuration and also the ones planning to deploy LTE/4G network.
Figure 5-6 shows a simple network with ring topology, here, 1+0 configuration is widely
adopt in access layer and 2+0 east-to-west is adopt for aggregation layer (ring topology
part).

In the ring network, SNCP might be used to protect E1 and STM-1 services, ERPS1.0 is
used to provide carrier grade single ring Ethernet protection, which solves the issue of
single ring topology, while ERPS2.0 not only can be used to provide carrier grade single
ring but also multiple ring Ethernet protection, as shown in Figure 5-7, which deals with
the topology issue about polycyclic intersecting and polycyclic tangent.
In the network, access, aggregation and metro sites might have different configurations,
the ZTEs suggestion is:
1+0 non-protection is widely adopted at access sites. For important link, 1+1
protection configuration is used.
2+0 XPIC configuration could be used at access layer at LTE/4G times.
2+0 east-to-west configuration is widely adopted in the ring, which could reduce the
CAPEX (equipment, room space and project). Sometimes, XPIC function is used for
high throughput link.
For minority metro sites, 1+1 protection configuration is adopted for medium
capacity link and 2+2 XPIC configuration is deployed for high throughput link.
The NR8250 of aggregation site or metro site can be connected to the BSC/RNC
directly or through the carrier network.
58
Link aggregation (LAG) or STM-1 MSP 1+1 can offer Ethernet link protection or
STM-1 line protection at the joint node between microwave and carrier network.
5.2.3
All-Packet Switching Application

NR8000 is widely used for offering carrier grade Ethernet transmission where the packet
based traffic is predominant, giving consideration to support the legacy TDM traffic. As
shown in figure 5-8, there are only a few legacy of E1 services in the network, all packet
switching network is a perfect choice for this kind of network:
NR8120/NR8120A/NR8120D/NR8150 is deployed at terminal or repeater site to

emulate TDM circuit into Ethernet.
NR8250 is deployed at BSC/RNC site to re-create TDM circuit.
