1. GENERAL This document describes the CityLink with references to ETSI and SDH technology. A separate document is available with ANSI and SONET specifications. Ref : CITYLINK\00051. CityLink Fast Ethernet and EtherLink is described in: CITYLINK IP\00089 and CITYLINK IP\00091 The CityLink is a radio relay equipment for transmission of capacities from STM-0 to STM-1 in the 5 to 38 GHz frequency bands with 32, 64, or 128TCM modulation. The equipment operates in frequency bands with channel spacing and duplex spacing as given in Table 2-1. Equipment specifications are in accordance with relevant standards by ITU, ETSI and IEC. The CityLink system consists of an Indoor Unit (IDU), an Outdoor Unit (ODU) and an antenna.

To reduce losses between the transceiver and the antenna, the ODU containing all the RF modules is mounted at or nearby the antenna. The ODU is connected to the IDU by means of one single coaxial IF cable. The distance between the IDU and the ODU can be up to 300 meters.

The IDU contains baseband circuitry, modem and ODU interface. The multi modulation modem enables an easy selection of frequency plan arrangement and channel bandwidth eliminating the need for separate modem versions. The IDU performs dual forward error coding contributing to excellent system gain. It can have different line interface options, with an easy interchange from electrical STM-1 to various optical STM-1 line interface plug-in modules. The indoor unit can also be equipped with an optional multiplex unit, giving access to 21x2 Mbit/s, 3x34/45 Mbit/s or a STM-1 cross connect unit. In configurations where the switch unit is used the line interface unit and multiplexer are placed in the switch unit.

1.1.1 1+0 configuration This system consists of one indoor unit and one outdoor unit interconnected with a single coaxial cable. Figure 1-2 shows a 1+0 system overview. The IDU is a single unit with plug-in STM-1 line interface and the optional Multiplexer Unit. The ODU is assembled by transceiver and branching. See also description of ODU types in Chapter 2.4.3.

1.1.2 HSB Configuration In Hot Standby configuration the IDU, the transceiver unit, and the coaxial cable between IDU and ODU are duplicated. The two transceivers share the same branching unit/hybrid (see also description of the ODU part in Chapter2.4.3.). A switch at radio frequency level, included in the branching unit Note1, allows for switching between the two transmitters. A Switching Unit is placed between the two IDUs and performs hitless switching in the receive direction. The STM-1 line interface and Multiplex plug-in modules are mounted in this switching unit. Signal interconnection between the IDUs and the switching unit is by a multi connector and a split cable. See Chapter 9 for more details about the radio protection switching function.

1.1.3 Hot standby configuration – Dual Antenna – Space Diversity The Hot Standby configuration is also available with duplicated antenna, providing path diversity effect. Tx-switching is achieved by muting the standby transmitter from the IDU. Both receivers are active and selection of receive signal is performed by the IDU-switch. This configuration gives better system gain as no HSB-hybrid loss is added. The configuration is available for 13-38 GHz, for 5-11 GHz HSB Hybrid SD is an alternative. See chapter 1.1.8.

1.1.4 Hot standby configuration – Dual Baseband A special variant of the Hot Standby system is the Dual baseband option. In this configuration both IDUs are equipped with STM-1 line interface units. The switching unit is not used in this configuration. The feature enables line protection when used with muxes with dual/protected interfaces.

1.1.5 1+1 Frequency Diversity A 1+1 Frequency Diversity system operates on two frequencies where both transmitters are active. Like in a HSB system the IDU, the ODU and the cable between them are protected and hitless switching is performed by the switch unit. User interfaces are placed in the switch unit. The system can be single or dual polarized. Single polarized system can not operate on adjacent channels. In 13-23 GHz the dual polarized system has the advantage that the 2+0 coupler is not needed and better system gain is achieved. The ODU solutions are different in 5-11 GHz and 13-23 GHz. See figures below. See Chapter 9 for more details about the radio protection switching function.

1.2.2 “Drop or Continue” – Chain topology, 2Mbit/s example In chain topology configuration the traffic routed to the 21x2 Mbit/s tributary ports is selected from the TU12s in the STM-1 signal from the radio side or alternatively from the STM-1 line interface. The "un-terminated" TU-12/VC-12 will be routed between the radio side (modem) and the STM-1 line interface. See figure below:

1.2.3 “Add Drop” – Ring topology, 2Mbit/s example In ring topologies the traffic routed to the 21x2 Mbit/s tributary ports is selected from the TU12s in the STM-1 signal from the radio side and from the STM-1 line interface. The multiplex unit selects the working “trail” on the receive side and sends on both “trails” in the transmit side. SNCP (Sub Network Connection Protection) is used in this topology. The "un-terminated" TU-12/VC-12 will be routed between the radio side and the STM-1 line interface. See figure below:

Logical diagram, ODU part not shown. LIF: STM-1 Line Interface

Figure 1-18 Ring Topology with 21x2Mb/s Add and Drop The figure shows one 2 Mbit/s connection in a ring structure. In one direction the 2 Mbit/s circuits enters the ring as a VC-12 inside the STM-1 (Site “A”). In the radio the VC-12 is split into two directions. One trail from Site “A” to Site “B”, and the other from Site “A” > Site “D” > Site “C” > Site “B”. The working trail is selected at the receive side. The switching is individual for each of the VC-12s and is independent in the two directions.

1.2.4 3x34/45 Mb/S and STM-1 X-connect The 3x34/45 Mbit/s Multiplex Unit can be used in the same way as the 21x2 Mbit/s unit, in addition it can be configured for broadcast configuration. The STM1 X-connect can also be used to build branch topologies from a chain or a ring. The traffic to the branch path or chain are then routed on VC-3 or VC-12 level to the tributary interface.

2.10 System synchronisation The CityLink contains an optional SETS function. In RST mode the SETS function is not required and the incoming STM-1 is transmitted without re-timing. Transmit and receive directions are independent from each other and can have different timing sources. In MST mode the SETS function is providing the equipment clock. The SETS units can be synchronised to one of the following sources: • 155 Mbit/s signal from line side • 155 Mbit/s signal from radio side • 2 MHz clock input • One selectable 2 Mbit/s input signal on 21x2 Mbit/s multiplex unit (only applicable if 21x2 Mbit/s

multiplex unit is present. • 155 Mbit/s signal from tributary side (only applicable if STM-1 X-connect unit is present) • Internal oscillator (free running) The user sets the available synchronisation references in priority order. The highest quality source is used to synchronise the equipment clock, but if there are several sources available with equally high quality, the source with higher priority is used. If a timing source is not available (loss of signal) or its timing signal is outside tolerances, the SETS unit will select the next available source with the highest quality.

2.10.1 Synchronisation status messaging Synchronisation status messaging can be used to ensure that the best available timing source will be used. The messaging is also used to prevent timing loops in SDH ring and mesh networks. The status messaging is transferred in the S1 byte in the Section Overhead. The synchronisation status quality levels are shown in the table below.

Abbr. ETSI Ref. Quality G.811 QL_PRC Primary Reference Clock (PRC) defined in ITU-T rec. G.811

Do Not Use QL_DNU Do not use for synchronisation (to prevent timing loops)

Table 2-6 Synchronisation quality levels

In case the synchronisation status message is not contained in the synchronisation input signal, for example in the 2 MHz or in 2Mbit/s input signal, the quality level can be defined manually by the operator.

2.11 Control and Supervision facilities In order to facilitate system control and fault finding, an internal control- and supervision system is included. This system is used to perform configuration-, fault-, event-, performance and security management. See Chapter 10 for more details.

2.11.1 Loopbacks For testing and fault finding there is a variety of integrated configurable loopbacks. Figure 2-6 and the table below shows possible loops for the main data. In addition, the 64 kbit/s channel and the E1 wayside channel may be looped. Only one loop may be active at any time. In the hot standby IDU switch far end loops for each protected interface are included.

corresponding input.

2.11.2 PRBS test signal The IDU has an integrated test function consisting of a PRBS generator and bit error counter function. The test function can be used to insert a PRBS test signal into the 2 Mb/s Wayside or (if the mux function is present) any of the 2/34/45 Mb/s tributary signals. The bit error counter can present number of bit errors or the average bit error rate over the elapsed test time. The directions can be tested individually or both go and return channel can be tested in combination with the loop function.

2.11.3 MS-AIS insertion MS-AIS may be inserted when one of the following criteria is detected:

• Loss of synchronisation at 155 Mbit/s signal. • RF identification mismatch. • HBER (high bit error rate) threshold, in direction from the transceiver, is exceeded. • Regenerator section trace (J0) mismatch.

The MS-AIS insertion, in both directions, cab be configured by the user. The MS-AIS removal time may be configured from 0 to 199 seconds in one-second steps.

3. TRANSCEIVER CHARACTERISTICS

3.1 RF-input monitoring One BNC/TNC connector at the transceiver unit is available for RF-input monitoring. In ODU type I and II 5-23 GHz, the connector is located on the branching/ODU housing. The RF-input may also be monitored at the local LCT (NEW Configurator) or by NEW-NMS. The measurement refers to point C. Accuracy: ±3 dB for input levels from –60 dBm to –30 dBm. (± 2 dB for 5 - 11 GHz)

The accuracy applies to software reading and also the voltage at the BNC/TNC connector converted into dB.

3.2 Spurious emissions ETSI: The limit values of transmitter spurious emissions measured in point C’ are shown in Table 3-1. According to CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01, the external spurious emissions are defined as emissions at frequencies which are outside the nominal carrier frequency +/- 250% of the relevant channel separation.

4. SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS FOR SPACE DIVERSITY (SD)

4.1 General A Space Diversity system includes a Space Diversity transceiver unit, which contains one transmitter and two receivers. The control functions are included in the transceiver unit.

4.2 Combining principles and performance The combining method is in-phase IF-combining. The principle of the combiner is shown in Figure 4-1. The combiner setpoint is determined by the measurements of both levels (level detection) and the signal spectre (dispersion analysis). The dispersion value is found by looking at the three different detectors for low, middle and high frequency.

Figure 4-1: Combining principle of Space Diversity transceiver

When both receiver inputs (main and diversity, points B and BD) are fed with low level input signals of the same level at an arbitrary phase difference, input level limits for specified BER values shall be 2.5 dB below those given in 3.4 for the case without diversity. Maximum difference of wave-guide lengths between main and diversity antennas is 30 meters. The static delay compensation is automatically adjusted by the use of a LCT or NEW-NMS. No need for external delay compensation or external instruments.

5. BRANCHING AND RF-FILTERING CHARACTERISTICS

5.1 General description Four different ODU variants are used. They are referred to as Type I ODU Version 1 and 2, Type II ODU and Type III ODU. Type I and II has a separate branching unit.

Type I ODU Version 1, 18 GHz 1560 Duplex and 23 GHz

The branching unit is available in three different versions; one for 1+0 systems, one for hot standby systems and one 2+0 (DF-SP) systems. The 2+0 SF-DP/AP systems use two 1+0 branchings. Antenna circulator and RF filters are included in the branching unit. In the hot standby version the RF switch and RF splitter are also included in the branching unit. The branching unit uses broadband RF filters. One or two sets (high/low) of the branching unit cover the whole band for each duplex/configuration. Type I ODU Version 2, 13 GHz, 15 GHz, 18 GHz 1010 MHz Duplex The branching unit is available in two different versions; one for 1+0 branching and one hot standby branching. The 2+0 or 1+1 FD systems use two 1+0 branchings. In a single polarized system they are connected by a coupler. Antenna circulator and RF filters are included in the branching unit. In the hot standby version the RF switch and RF splitter are also included in the branching unit. The branching unit uses broadband RF filters. One or two sets (high/low) of the branching unit cover the whole band for each duplex/configuration.

Type II ODU, 6 – 11 GHz

The branching unit consists of a configuration dependant branching unit and field replacable RF channel filters. The branching is not sub-band dependant as RF-channel filters are used. The branching with filter is mounted in a housing witch also serves as interface towards the transceivers. Two transceivers can be mounted on this box, one on each side. The waveguide flange connections are at the bottom. The branching with housing is available in different versions covering the available configurations and Space Diversity. In the hot standby version the RF switch and RF splitter is part of the branching unit.

Type III ODU, 26 – 38 GHz

The ODU is an integrated unit with a multichannel diplexer as part of the unit. Only one mechanical design is used, in hot standby and 2+0 systems two transceivers are mounted on a frame, which includes an RF power combiner/splitter. In each frequency band and duplex spacing two high and two low ODUs are available.

5.2 Interface to antenna feeder system The interface between the ODU and the antenna feeder system is rectangular waveguide for 6-38 GHz. For 5 GHz N-connector is used. The waveguide flange type can be found in Table 5-1. Integrated antenna solution is available for 13 – 38 GHz.

8.4 64 kbit/s and wayside channels

8.4.1 General As an optional feature, interfaces for two 64 kbit/s data channels and one 2.048 Mbit/s wayside channel are available. The wayside and the 64 kbit/s channels are transmitted as parts of SOH. The wayside channel uses the 35 shadowed bytes shown in Table 8-1 Utilisation of SOH bytes. Provided that the shadowed bytes are available, the wayside channel can also be used in RS mode because the B2-parity will not be affected. When the wayside channel is not used, any of the shadowed bytes (except the National Use bytes in last low) in the table may also be used for the 64 kbit/s data channels. Use of the wayside channel will limit the number of bytes available for the 64 kbit/s channels to E1, E2, F1, Z1, Z2, MS#1 and MS#2. In RS-mode only E1, F1, MS#1 and MS#2 are available for 64 kbit/s channels.

10. MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS

10.1 General An integrated supervision system makes the CityLink capable of functioning as a Network Element (NE) in a managed SDH transmission network. The supervision systems on the various radio-relay stations are exchanging information over the embedded communication channel, ECC. Standardised use of QECC is provided. Actual channel to be used for management traffic is configurable (se section 10.2). For set up and configuration of the radio the NEW-Configurator SoftWare, is needed. For network management and operation CityLink can be connected to the Nera Element vieW - Network Management System (NEW-NMS). NEW-NMS can be used as a mediation device to connect all Nera radios to a higher order management system through the optional SNMP- or CORBA – agents. The NEW-NMS element manager offers services such as: Fault management: collecting and logging alarms and analogue measurements from the

elements.

Performance management: collecting and logging quality measurements according to standards (G.784)

Configuration management: addresses the configuration of elements, getting/setting configuration from/to elements and SW download functions.

Security management: deals with user privileges and how this is administrated network.

10.1.1 Event logging The CityLink can log events and faults in the local fault log. The log size is 10.000 events. The log can be set to wrap-around or halt when it is full. Alarm logging can be masked based on severity level. The operator can also clear the log.

10.1.2 Monitoring of system performance Transmission performance data is monitored continuously by the built-in supervision function. The supervision function performs measurements and calculations based on the BIP-codes in the SOH. Error information from the Trellis decoder in the demodulator is also available. See description of the error pulse outputs in Chapter 10.4.6

10.1.3 System performance calculations Performance data can be presented according to ITU-T Rec. G.826. The following system quality calculations are included: Performance Calculations

Regenerator Section Termination Calculations based on B1 (BIP-8)

Multiplexer Section Termination Calculation based on B2 (BIP-24)

Error Second Ratio (ESR) Yes Yes Severely Error Second Ratio (SESR) Yes Yes Background Block Error Ratio (BBER) Yes Yes Unavailable state (UAS) Yes Yes

Table 10-1 Performance Calculations

The actual availability of these options depends on the selected configuration.

Page 56: Technical Description CityLink Rev H ETSI Eng

CityLink XT CITYLINK\00026 Rev. H 2004-12-01 54

10.1.4 Performance record logging The CityLink calculate the performance in G.826 performance parameters based on B1, B2, and M1 parity checksums. The performance records are calculated for STM-1 line interface and for received STM-1 from radio side. 15-min, 24-hour and month records are calculated. The log contains the current and last month, current and last 24-hour and current and the sixteen last 15-min records. Threshold values can be defined each of the performance records and a performance alarm will be raised if the threshold is exceeded for any of the periods. In addition the CityLink contains cumulative error counters for B1, B2, and M1 parity pulses and for the G.826 performance parameters. The operator can read and reset the counters.

10.1.5 Security management The user must have a username and password defined in the CityLink in order to log in. Each user name is defined with access privileges. Four levels are defined;

User level Privileges

Passive Users Passive users are only able to monitor data. They are not able to collect data or change the network configuration.

Active Users Active users are able to collect data and change some communication settings, but not commands that can make unrecoverable configuration changes.

Master Users Master users have access to all NEW-NMS commands, except those attended with user account administration.

Admin Users Admin users have access to all NEW-NMS commands. The Admin user is the administrator and is responsible for adding, deleting and managing user accounts and privileges.

10.1.6 Security event logging The CityLink can log events related to security. The log size is 1000 events. The log can be set to wrap-around or halt when it is full. The operator can also clear the log.

Page 57: Technical Description CityLink Rev H ETSI Eng

CITYLINK\00026 Rev. H 2004-12-01 CityLink XT 55

10.2 ECC (Embedded Communication Channel) The ECC channel can be configured by the operator. Normally DCC-r (D1 to D3) is used for ECC purpose but any other available SOH byte can be used. When DCC-r is used the transmission capacity is 192 kb/s, if another single SOH byte is used the transmission capacity is 64kb/s. The protocol used can be NNP (Nera Networking Protocol), TCP/IP or Qecc. The link layer properties of the Qecc can be configured by the operator. The routing protocol used for Qecc is IS-IS (ISO 10589)

10.2.1 IP Routing The CityLink contains a routing function that enables routing of TCP/IP and UDP/IP traffic between the various management interfaces such as the Ethernet interface and the ECC channel. The routing protocol used is OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)/RIP2. This enables transport of IP based management protocols for other telecom equipment over a CityLink path.

10.3 Embedded SNMP agent The optional embedded SNMP agent supports the following management functions. • Basic monitoring of network and interface parameters • Fault Management Supports enumeration of possible alarms, current alarm table and historic alarms (log). • Analogue measurements Received signal level. • Performance Management Performance data according to G.826.
