Native2 Microwave Radio Technology

At the heart of the IP-10 solution is Ceragon's market-leading Native2 microwave technology.
With this technology, the microwave carrier supports native IP/Ethernet traffic together with optional native
PDH. Neither traffic type is mapped over the other, while both dynamically share the same overall
bandwidth.
This unique approach allows you to plan and build optimal all-IP or hybrid TDM-IP backhaul networks.
which make it ideal for any RAN (Radio Access Network) evolution path selected by the wireless provider
(including Green-Field 3.5G/4G all-IP installations).
In addition, Native2 ensures:
Very low link latency of <0.2 msecs @ 400 Mbps.
Very low overhead mapping for both Ethernet and TDM traffic, to the microwave radio frame.

In-Band Management

IP-10 can optionally be managed in-band, via its radio and Ethernet interfaces. This method of management
eliminates the need for a dedicated interface and network.

In-band management uses a dedicated management VLAN, which is user-configurable.

Native TDM Base Station Timing & Synchronization

Each T1/E1 trail carries a native TDM clock, which is compliant with strict cellular application requirements
(2G/3G), and is suitable as a base station timing source.

This eliminates the need for timing-over-packet techniques for base station synchronization.

Adaptive Coding and Modulation
Adaptive Coding and Modulation refers to the automatic adjustment that a wireless system can make in
order to optimize over-the-air transmission and prevent weather-related fading from causing communication
on the link to be disrupted. 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 allowing real-time applications to continue to run uninterrupted. Varying the modulation also
varies the amount of bits that are transferred per signal, thereby enabling higher throughputs and better
spectral efficiencies. For example, a 256 QAM modulation can deliver approximately four times the
throughput of 4 QAM (QPSK).

Ceragon Networks employs full-range dynamic ACM in its new line of high-capacity wireless backhaul
product - FibeAir IP-10. In order to ensure high transmission quality, Ceragon solutions implement
hitless/errorless ACM that copes with 90dB per second fading. A quality of service awareness mechanism
ensures that high priority voice and data packets are never “dropped”, thus maintaining even the most
stringent service level agreements (SLAs).

The hitless/errorless functionality of Ceragon’s ACM has another major advantage in that it ensures that
TCP/IP sessions do not time-out. Lab simulations have shown that when short fades occur (for example if a
system has to terminate the signal for a short time to switch between modulations) they may lead to timeout
of the TCP/IP sessions – even when the interruption is only 50 milliseconds. TCP/IP timeouts are followed
by a drastic throughput decrease over the time it takes for the TCP sessions to recover. This may take as long
as several seconds. With a hitless/errorless ACM implementation this problem can be avoided.

So how does it really work? Let's assume a system configured for 256 QAM with 450 Mbps capacity over a
56 MHz channel. When the receive signal Bit Error Ratio (BER) level arrives at a predetermined threshold,
the system will preemptively switch to 128 QAM and the throughput will be stepped down to 400 Mbps.
This is an errorless, virtually instantaneous switch. The system will then run at 128 QAM until the fading
condition either intensifies, or disappears. If the fade intensifies, another switch will take the system down
to 64 QAM. If on the other hand the weather condition improves, the modulation will be switched back to
the next higher step (e.g. 128QAM) and so on, step by step .The switching will continue automatically and
as quickly as needed, and can reach during extreme conditions all the way down to QPSK.

FibeAir IP-10 Product Description 12
Adaptive Modulation and Built-in Quality of Service
Ceragon's Adaptive Modulation has a remarkable synergy with the equipment's built-in Layer 2 Quality of
Service mechanism. Since QoS provides priority support for different classes of service, according to a wide
range of criteria (see below) it is possible to configure the system to discard only low priority packets as
conditions deteriorate. The FibeAir IP-10 platform can classify packets according to the most external
header, VLAN 802.1p, TOS / TC - IP precedence and VLAN ID. All classes use 4 levels of prioritization
with user selectable options between strict priority queuing and weighted fair queuing with user configurable
weights.
If the user wishes to rely on external switches QoS, Adaptive Modulation can work with them via the flow
control mechanism supported in the radio.

FibeAir® IP-10 Product Description 13

Quality of Service (QoS)
Packet Classification

The system examines the incoming traffic and assigns the desired priority according to the marking of the
packets (based on the user port/L2/L3 marking in the packet). In case of congestion in the ingress port, low
priority packets will be discarded first.
The user has the following options:
- Priority bits designated VLAN ID source: None, External Overhead, VLAN 802.1p, IPv4/IPv6,
- Prioritized VLAN IDs: VLAN ID numbers and priority for each number

STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) Frame Prioritization

In radio links that are used to connect switches running spanning tree protocols, it is important to ensure that
the BPPU frames (transmitted periodically from the switches) are passed with the highest level of priority. If
BPDU frames are not received for a certain period of time, the STP will decide that the link is not active
(even though no problem exists) since BPDU frames did not get the highest priority and were discarded.
To ensure smooth STP operation, the system automatically gives the highest possible priority to BPDU
multicast frames. Just below this priority are located the user-defined highest priority frames.

Queuing and Scheduling

The system has four priority queues that are emptied according to three types of scheduling, as follows:
Strict priority
In fixed priority, all top priority frames egress towards the radio until the top priority queue is empty.
Then, the next lowest priority queue’s frames egress, and so on. This approach ensures that high priority
frames are always transmitted as soon as possible.
Configurable Hierarchical Round Robin: each queue can be assigned with a user-configurable weight
from 1 to 16.
First queue as "strict" and the other three according to Hierarchical Round Robin
