Introduction This document introduces the various components and modules that are used to build up AS4000 systems and networks. It provides an overview of the functionality of each part and outlines the various ancillary systems and services that are available from Airspan. The AS4000 Wireless Fixed Access system is a digital point to multipoint radio access system providing wireless access for fixed subscribers to the telecommunication network. AS4000 delivers telephony, voice band facsimile/data, ISDN, packet and leased line data services. The AS4000 radio links provide equivalent Performance to copper pairs and are therefore a direct alternative to the use of copper cabling for the delivery of these services to customers. The system uses point-to-multipoint radio links between the individual customer’s premises and the carrier's central office or local exchange as a replacement for the traditional copper air local loops. If greater flexibility or range is required, the network radio equipment can be located in a suitable building or wayside cabinet. In addition to faster deployment when compared with the time required to install new copper plant, line plant maintenance costs are eliminated, and digital services can be rapidly deployed to new residential and business customers. Each individual customer location is served by one or more radio links, which can be configured to support a range of services. These can be single or multiple units delivering a mixture of dedicated link and on-demand services. Services supported include: Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) equivalent service Fixed line 2x 64 kbit/s leased line data services ISDN basic rate access at 144kbit/s Packet data services AS4000 systems have been designed from the outset to be modular and scalable. This enables systems to be built according to operators' requirements, the frequency availability and the number of customers to be served. It also enables any equipment failures to be rectified simply and quickly. The AS4000 system consists of a number of major physical blocks (See Figure 1): Subscriber Terminals (STs), which are located at the customer’s premises, Central Terminals (CTs), sited at a suitable location to maximise radio coverage, Access Concentrators (ACs), usually sited at the Central Office or Switch site, and AS8100 Sitespan or the AS8300 Element manager - the Network Management system.

AS4000 Architecture

AS4000 Infrastructure The AS4000 Central Terminal (CT) The Central Terminal is the AS4000 radio base station and is normally located at a site chosen for best radio coverage for the target ST population. The CT comprises at least one rack with an RF combiner shelf and associated modem shelves. Additional CT racks or expansion racks may be co-located to provide increased capacity. Each modem shelf is connected to the radio the combiner shelf and operates a single RF channel within the selected channel plan. Two types of modem shelves are available: Fixed assigned (FA) Demand assigned (DA) The FA shelves operate only in FA mode, whereas the DA shelves can be configured at the CDMA code level to operate either in FA mode or DA mode. Fixed Assigned (FA) operation Fixed assigned services (such as leased line data, ISDN and leased line voice) are supported via fixed assigned modem shelves. These permanently allocate CDMA channels to end-user terminals. AS4000 systems operating in FA mode have been commercially available since 1995 and the CDMA air interface has remained largely unchanged since then. Demand Assigned (DA) operation An enhancement of the air interface protocol allows on-demand assignment of radio resources to active users. This enables provision of a graded service, and improves the efficiency with which the radio channels are used. In addition, the protocol enhancement also enables POTS terminals to use ADPCM coded voice (32kbit/s), further enhancing system capacity. The radio interface differs from FA operation, in that radio links are allocated as either traffic, or as control channels. Traffic channels can be allocated as normal access or as priority channels. Priority channels can be configured to provide access to (for example) key users (such as the emergency services) even when all the other system channels are being fully used. For DA operation, an additional module is required - the Access Concentrator. See section 0 for further details. Mixed mode (FA/DA) systems Due to the modular design of the AS4000 CT systems, and the use of common RF architecture, it is possible to mix a DA and FA deployment. This can be achieved by allocating certain RF channels to FA mode operation and others to DA mode. Shown in Figure 2 are example configurations of AS4000 CT racks.

Example CT rack configurations The RF combiner shelf The RF combiner shelf (see Figure 3) can accommodate up to 4 RF channels, and link to one or two independent antenna systems. The RF combiner shelf provides the radio subsystem for both FA and DA modes of operation, and allows mixed-mode systems to be implemented. Each combiner shelf is equipped with RF cards, (up to four) Power Amplifier (PA) modules (up to two), Diplexer / Low Noise Amplifier (DIP/LNA) modules and Shelf Monitor Cards.

RF combiner shelf Figure 4. FA Modem shelf and front cover

FA modem shelves Each FA modem shelf (see Figure 4.) terminates one RF channel, supports up to 15 radio links, provides a network interface with the local exchange, and a network management interface to Sitespan. Up to four FA modem shelves can be built into a single CT rack. Thus, a total of 60 FA radio links and four network management interfaces can be supported from a single rack. An FA modem shelf can be equipped with up to eight modem cards, each card supporting two CDMA links, (i.e. 16 links per shelf of 15 customers). This arrangement results in one spare modem per shelf. The spare modem is held in reserve and, if necessary, can be reconfigured to automatically replace a modem that has a fault. DA modem shelves Each DA modem shelf (see Figure 5.) terminates one RF channel, provides an E1 network interface with the AC and (if required) a network management interface to the NMS. Redundant E1 links can also be provided to maintain the backhaul link to the Access Concentrator if the main link fails. Up to two DA modem shelves can be equipped within a rack, and a further two modem shelves placed in an expansion rack. The number of traffic channels supported will depend on the bit rates for configured each circuit. A fully configured DA modem shelf can provide up to 52 x 32kbit/s trunks (equivalent to 39.7Erl at 1%GoS).

Access Concentrator Rack with two AC Shelves Figure 5. DA Modem shelf

The Access Concentrator (AC) This is normally located at the operator's central office or local exchange. Its purpose is to consolidate traffic from multiple CT modem shelves. It is only required for modem shelves operating in DA mode, or when traffic grooming is required. The AC presents traffic and signalling interfaces to the network switching equipment via multiple E1 2Mbit/s ports - these can be either in unconcentrated or concentrated forms, and include CAS, V5.1 and V5.2 signalling schemes. One or two AC shelves may be provisioned in an AC rack, with a fully equipped AC shelf supporting up to 64 E1 connections to the switch. The AC may also consolidate management communications between CTs and the management system. Access Concentrator Card Shelf The Access Concentrator shelf is identical to the DA modem shelf (see Figure 6.). The AC connection panel is larger, and can cater for up to 64 x E1 connections to the switch.

The AS4000 Subscriber Terminals (STs) The ST architecture is shown in the figure below. The majority of the ST electronics is housed in a single Service Interface Unit (SIU), which is located inside a building or weatherproof cabinet. This is connected to an external antenna and a 12V DC power source. The ST-R2 (shown in Figure 10.) is an example of this architecture. All Airspan’s STs employ this architecture – this gives a configurable and flexible mix of service types (SIU dependent) and operating frequencies (antenna dependent) Antenna I/F Drop Cable Service Interface Unit Phones Figure 10.

Ancillary equipment and services Network Management: AS8100 Sitespan AS8100 Overview AS8100 is a management system designed as a configuration, alarm, test and performance manager for the AS4000 range of Wireless Access Systems. Being flexible in its deployment, AS8100 is scaleable to suit a range of different network sizes. It provides assistance to the network operator to ensure the ongoing service deliveries by simplifying the handling of such tasks as alarm management, performance monitoring and fault localisation. Available in server, client and craft versions, AS8100 uses a Microsoft Windows NT-based, client- server architecture to support multi-user management of a geographically dispersed set of network elements. AS8100’s object oriented architecture has been developed to support rapid response to and from the user interfaces. The user interface is entirely graphical and windows-based, utilising drop-down menus, icon-based representations, maps and equipment views. It is capable of scaling from a single, standalone PC to multiple client server PC configurations. By permitting configurations that place some or all of the clients remotely from the servers, it is possible to support simultaneous management by several users across a widely deployed network. One or more clients may simultaneously connect to one or more servers to span a large number of managed elements. Connection of remote clients can be via modem, LAN or WAN. Windows NT Remote Access Service (RAS) is utilised to support dial-up connections at speeds as low as 9.6 kbit/s. All of these capabilities are policed by the Windows NT security management functions. The craft version retains all functionality of the client but restricts connection to a single piece of equipment ensuring a consistent look and feel to the systems. This provides facilities to field service engineers for installation, commissioning and fault management of the equipment. Sitespan can be supplied in the following variants: Sitespan client-server PC pre-loaded with Windows NT and Sitespan software Sitespan craft terminal PC preloaded with Windows NT and Sitespan software Sitespan client-server software only (CD-ROM and manual) Sitespan craft terminal software only (CD-ROM and Figure 23. Sitespan PC (client-server) manual) AS8100 Dimensioning Software The AS8100 Can connect to up to: 10 x AS8100 servers Client Software And can manage up to: 10,000 subscriber lines maximum The AS8100 Can serve to up to: 32 x AS4000 Modem shelves Server Software And can manage up to: 10,000 subscriber lines Hardware The standard Windows NT PC shipped by Airspan comes complete with a 'Digiboard' (a COM Port replicator). This allows direct connection to up to 16 shelves. These can be CT Modem shelves, or AC Shelves, and either FA or DA.

Radio Survey Tool The Airspan Radio Survey Tool allows accurate measurements to be made of the signal coverage from an Airspan AS4000 CT. The information obtained can be used to augment that derived from the AS9000 radio planning software (Airplan), and provides an operator an additional level of confidence in the predicted subscriber coverage area. The tool can also be used to optimise individual subscriber installations before the ST is permanently installed - especially where pole-mounted installations are required. A further use for the tool is to track longer-term variations in coverage (such as seasonal variability or variations due to rainfall) by periodically repeating the measurements at the same location. The survey tool (see Figure 26 below) consists of specially configured test head, a drop cable, and a test box with battery charger.

Radio Planning: AS9000 Airplan Derived from the industry benchmark product Planet developed by Mobile Systems International, AS9000 Airplan is a software tool, which can be used to predict radio coverage, C/I and A/I performance, and radio link budgets. As such, it is indispensable for medium to large radio networks where optimised antenna siting, orientation and design can yield huge benefits in terms of equipment and radio spectrum. Airplan AS9000 is available in two versions: Airplan Lite and Airplan, the former capable of networks up to 50 CTs, and the latter capable of planning larger networks. Note that Airplan and Airplan Lite are supplied as software and software licences. Both products are supportable either using Solaris on a Sun SPARCstation, or Windows NT on a Personal Computer.
