For a given bandwidth (W in Hz), the maximum amount of symbols/second (Rs in baud) is
limited in order to avoid Inter Symbol Interference (ISI)
Each symbol corresponds to a number of bits.
You need to be able with the current technology to distinguish one symbol
from another

1.2 Introduction product family

Introduction to the 9600LSY Radio System Family
The 9600LSY digital radio relay system belongs to the second generation of
the Alcatel SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy ) radio family that has been
developed aiming to match the demand of high quality microwave
transmission links.
A 9600LSY radio system can be in fact utilized either with multiplex section
termination (MST) or regenerator section termination (RST) functionality.
The family supports radio transmission of STM0 (51 Mbps) and STM1 (155
Mbps) signals as well STM4 (622 Mbps) or STM16 (2.4 Gbps) connections,
using a proper number of radio frequency channels in various configurations.
A full set of synchronous and plesiochronous interfaces is available.

1.2 Introduction to the system
MAIN FEATURES
The radio System of the 9600LSY family are used to transmit high
capacity,high quality radio link signal in accordance with the standards ruling
the SynchronousDigital Hierarchy,as defined by the outstanding international
Organization, including CCIT, CCIR, and ETSI, with a specific reference to the
TMN ( Telecommunications Management Network) standars.
This system can be used to transport telephone, data, and image channels in
SDH networks,and is able to perform only RST ( Regeneration Section
Termination ) funtion.
They can also be used to back-up fiber optic system,wherever so necessary.
Total Interworking with other kinds of network elements present in the

network aiming to make the network indipendent from transmission medium.

Full integration in the Alcatel network managment platform able to

manage different types of network elements belonging to different
technologies: MSN, LT, microwaves radio, optical systems and submarine
systems. 9600LSY is included in Alcatel release plan, garanteeing consistent
feature support and allowing, in case of existing SDH NEs, not to change
TMN platform, thus saving investements already done.
The equipment can be inserted in the SDH network as Radio regenerator

to be easily introduced in trasparent mode without affecting any modification
to the network.

General
The Alcatel 9600LSY system architecture, based on a full indoor structure,

covers all the frequency bands from 4 to 13 GHz in a complete set of
equipment configurations from 2 to 8 channels in protected (N+1) or
unprotected (N+0) radio configurations.
The 9600LSY Long Haul system is based on the following configurations:
a ) Regenerator (Network Element type LHR)
b ) Regenerator Compact (Network Element type LHRC)
c ) Wireless Multi Service Node (WMSN)

Transmission capacity easily selectable between STM 0 and STM 1

according to the bandwidth availability and, if necessary, following an
incremental approach.
Bit rate capacity: the 9600LSY system allows the transmission of STM 1
signals for all frequency bands from 4 to 13 GHZ and STM 0 for 7, 8 and 13
GHZ bands, according to thecustomer needs.
The system allows an easy migration from STM 0 to STM 1 .
Auxiliary traffic can be added by means of RFCOH bytes corresponding to one

2 Mbit/s
Way Side Traffic ( protected or unprotected ) in STM 1 frame. WST in STM

0 frame is not available

The following modulation types, all with MLC coding, are used.
128 QAM as standard modulation for all frequency bands. The high
number of levels used allows to obtain a high spectrum efficiency that
permits the utilisation of the following channel spacing:
28 MHZ, 29 MHZ, 29,65 MHZ, 30 MHZ, and 40 MHZ, for STM 1 capacity
14 MHZ for STM 0 capacity
64 QAM modulation with 40 MHZ channel spacing and STM 1 capacity for
some frequency.

The following configurations are possible:
1+1 expandable 7+1 Terminal.
N+0 ( max 8+0 ) Terminal.
All configurations are also available with the space diversity

option.
Frequency reuse is also possible for those systems in which the

distance between
the adjacent channel is equal to or greater than 28 Mhz

A System Controller is accomodated in the BASEBAND subrack.
A Craft Terminal ( CT ) and an external supervision system connected to

System Controller can menage all the system (local and remote ).
In this way,it is possible to perform the following operations:
to monitor status and alarms
to perform some measurements.
to perform maintenance operations for switching device and services.
to perform troubleshooting operations.
Indicator lamps are located on the rack top to display the presence of an
URGEN NON URGENT alarm, a stored alarm or manual operations in progress
and engineering calls A TOP RACK UNIT can be equipped with a loudspeaker
unit ( optional ).

ATPC
The 9600 LSY Transmitter is fitted with the ATPC.
The ATPC system is based on a control loop of the power transmitted
between a transmitter and a receiver in a radio link.
The receiver furnishes through the AGC voltage the information of the
received power to the ATPC controller; it compares the voltage with
threshold values ( presettable by software ) and according to the
obtained result send through to the ATPC controller on the remote
station of the link the orders of increase /decrease of transmitted
power.
These orders are processed and therefore transferred to the associated
transmitter.

Protections:
Two protection types are available for the 9600 LSY systems:
Radio Protection (RPS)
The high capacity long haul radio systems utilises, to perform the automatic protection of
the radio channels, a switching device moving the channel to be protected on a spare
bearer (standby channel). The function, implemented on the RX side is N+1 hitless type; it
is transparent to other types of protection and in particular to network protection.
The switch supplies the protection of the link either in case of failure of the equipment or
for deterioration the quality performances of the link. In this last case the EW( Early
Warning) and LBER ( low ber ) criteria are utilised to achieve an error free changeover.
Network Protection
For network protection the radio system in regenerator section configuration will be fully
transparent to MSP channel and criteria allowing the MSNs present in the network to
perform the network protection activity. On the other hand the radio system in terminal
with MSN configuration implements, as embedded function, network protection features
like Trail protection and subnetwork protection (MSP, SNCP etc.).

General equipping rules
the number associated to TRX is related to the channel (0 9);
each TRX is associated to the RRA, MD and PSU group having the same logical
number (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7);
Only 8 TRXs can be equipped at most. The slot positions that must be used
depend on the system configuration and the equipping rules follow those
relative to the associated RRA, MD and PSU groups, it means that:
with single polarization configurations, TRIs must be equipped in the

logical number sequence 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Thus, in these
configurations, TRIs 8 and 9 are never equipped;
with double polarization configurations, TRIs must be equipped in the

sequence 0, 9, .
Thus, in these configurations, TRIs 4 and 5 are never equipped.

the number associated to TRI is related to the channel (0 9);
each TRI is associated to the RRA, MD and PSU group having the same logical number
(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7);
Only 8 TRIs can be equipped at most. The slot positions that must be used depend on
the system configuration
and the equipping rules follow those relative to the associated RRA, MD and PSU
groups, it means that:
with single polarization configurations, TRIs must be equipped in the logical
number sequence 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Thus, in these configurations, TRIs 8 and 9
are never equipped;
with double polarization configurations, TRIs must be equipped in the sequence 0,
9, .... Thus, in these configurations, TRIs 4 and 5 are never equipped.
Transceiver assembly
The transceiver operates from 4 to 13 GHz. Different P/Ns are envisaged according to the
operating frequency and the modulation (64QAM or 128QAM).
Each transceiver assembly is equipped with the following internal modules:
transmiter unit
receiver unit
local oscillator unit
transceiver controller unit
DC/DC converter.
The transmitter unit includes an IF amplifier, a SSB up converter, a local oscillator and a
RF power amplifier. The utilization of a high rejection SSB up-converter permits to avoid
the use of a RF filter at the output, allowing a wide-band utilization of the unit.
The Automatic Transmitted Power Control (ATPC) function is included in the transceiver in
order to decrease the Tx power output and dissipation in case of normal propagation and
to push the maximum power up in deep fading conditions. This function may be disabled
and the level of the transmitted RF power can be manually set by Craft Terminal
configuration.
The receiver unit includes a low noise RF preamplifier, an automatic imagine rejection
down converter, an IF filter, a main amplifier with AGC and a local oscillator.
The local oscillator unit includes a VCO, a Synthesizer, a Switch and a Multiplier.
The synthesizer is a narrow band loop filter used PLL function
The multiplier is composed by a distortion circuit, band - pass filter, amplifier and a
power splitter.
In the transmitter the LO can run only in Master configuration,at the start up the switch
is connected at the external VCO and only when its VCO is locked, the switch has
connected to the internal VCO.
In the receiver the LO ( in Master configuration ) runs with its internal VCO;while ( in
Slave configuration ) runs external VCO.
The transceiver controller unit includes a microcontrolller that controls all the
functions of transceiver. ( alarms, commands, atpc, presetting and remote inventory ).
etc.
The microcontroller , by means a transceiver CAN BUS, is connected to SYSCO UNIT in
the base band shelf.
The DC / DC CONVERTER UNIT receives primary voltage from the shelf backpanel and
supplies to Transceiver controller unit all the necessary voltages.
A space diversity receiver, to be used in junction with a baseband signal combiner, is also
available as countermeasure to the selective fading due to the multipath propagation of
the signal.
The advantages obtained by the baseband combiner utilization are mainly due to a higher
reliability, thanks to the adopted digital technology, to the possibility of recovering very
high delays between the two received signals and to the very reduced signature of the
combined signal.

6.1 RPS
The priority of the switching commands is:
- Lockout priority 1 (highest)
- Forced switch priority 2
- Automatic switch priority 3 (this is the normal operation without Manual Operation)
- Manual switch priority 4 (lowest)
LOCKOUT
The Lockout command can be activated on the protected channel only.
The Lockout command is equivalent to simulate the channel efficient. By selecting the protected channel and entering Lockout command the
traffic will never occupy the protecting channel (in this case the protected channel will be always active). If the Lockout command is entered
when the traffic is occupying the protecting channel, the traffic immediately will be removed from the protecting channel without activate the
alignment procedure.
FORCE TO
The Force To command can be activated on the protected channel only.
The Force To command is equivalent to simulate the channel fault. By selecting the protected channel and entering the Force To protecting
command the traffic is switched over the protecting channel independently of the alarms, if any, on the protecting channel.
MANUAL TO
The Manual To command can be activated both on the protected or on the protecting channel.
- If the protected channel is active by selecting the protected channel and entering the Manual To protecting command the
protecting channel becomes active after the automatic alignment.
- If the protecting channel is active by selecting the protecting channel and entering the Manual To protected command the
protected channel becomes active after the automatic alignment.
N.B. The switch over takes place if the destination channel is in a condition better than the channel to be switched because the priority
of the Manual Switch is less than the priority of the Automatic Switch.
For each command, the relevant Release command is provided.

be inside the range values visible in window otherwise an error message box appears. Before the operation is performed, an explicit confirm is
required by means of a confirmation box.
6.6 ATPC
Normally the Transmitter transmits the min. power (sets in the ATPC min. range value field).
When, due to a fading, the Rx signal reaches the ATPC low threshold (sets in the ATPC Low Power
Threshold field) the ATPC operation starts and the Transmitter increases the Tx power in order to
keep constant the Rx signal to the ATPC threshold. The Transmitter increases its output power until
the max. power (sets in the ATPC Max Range value field).
If the ATPC max. value is equal to 18 dBm (= to the nominal power) the Transmitter does not transmit
the extra power in case the Rx signal is less than -71 dBm (ATPC Extra Low Power Threshold).
6.6 ATPC
This function sets the Transmitter to transmit a constant power, selectable in the following screen. This function is
available when ATPC is Disabled and Manual Operations are Not Active. It is accessible through Set button that opens

11.1 Introduction
10.1 Introduction
PM Approach (cntd)
BER and Errored Block Approaches
Two approaches can be used to estimate the quality of a signal :
the first uses the BIP code to compute the Bit Error Rate (BER)
the second uses the BIP code to evaluate the Errored Block
10.1 Introduction
PM Approach
BER Approach:
This method is the same used in PDH networks
It fits the case of random distribution of errors, but provides very poor indications when burst
distributed errors are present
Errored Block Approach
This method focuses on various portions of the digit stream. It is not interested just in the
amount of errors occurred, but on the amount of errors occurred in a certain portion of the
signal.
This approach shows good results for any type of error distribution.
This new approach was adopted for SDH networks and, as a consequence, new quality
parameters based on error block events have been defined.
10.1 Introduction
Block definition
A block is a set of consecutive bits associated with a specific path or section.
Each block is monitored by means of the relevant BIP-n code performing n independent parity
checks
A block is assumed to be errored if at least one of the n checks fails
Block size for SDH sections
SECTION BLOCK SIZE BLOCKS PER BLOCKS / s BIP-n

(BITs) FRAME
STM-1 RS 19440 1 8000 BIP-8
10.1 Introduction
Error Performance events
Errored Block (EB): A block in which one or more bits are in error.
Errored Second (ES): A one second period with one or more errored blocks or at least
one defect.
Severely Errored Second (SES): A one-second period which contains at least 30% (for
path layer) errored blocks or at least one defect. SES is a subset of ES.
Background Block Error (BBE): An errored block not occurring as part of a SES.
10.1 Introduction
Near End or/and Far End PM
Near End PM: the performance monitoring parameters are evaluated by means of the
inherent Error Detection Code, (B1).
Far End PM: the remote performance monitoring is not supported because the radio
equipment operates on the Regenerator Section only.
Near end counters are supported in receive direction of the signal.
10.1 Introduction
Availability
Each direction of the section can be in one of these two states:
Available state
Unavailable state:
Unavailable Second (UAS): number of seconds during an unavailability
period
Unavailable Time Report (UAT report): a period of unavailable time
begins at the onset of 10 consecutive SES events. When an unavailable
period is detected this report is sent.
Near End Unavailable Second (NEUAS/UAS): An Unavailable Second is

a second which is part of the Unavailable Time.
10.1 Introduction
Criteria for a single direction
A period of unavailable time begins at the onset of 10 consecutive SES events. These ten seconds are considered to
be part of unavailable time. A new period of available time begins at the onset of ten consecutive non-SES events.
These ten seconds are considered to be part of available time
10.1 Introduction
Alarm information process
Two types of alarm information is provided when the performance limits
are reached:
UAT report = Unavailability Time report. This report is provided when

an unavailability period is detected
TCA reports = Threshold Cross Alarm reports. These reports are
provided when at least one of the error/maintenance events ES, SES,
BBE exceeds the relevant fixed performance threshold
10.1 Introduction
UAT report
Upon detection of the unavailability condition a data/time UAT report is provided
Upon detection of the end of the unavailability condition a data/time report notifying the end of
UAT is supplied
