Wi-Fi in a Nutshell

Wi-Fi was originally designed for Wireless connectivity between a single


Access Point (AP) and multiple clients

Wi-Fi is a mass market solution, delivering best effort service using


unlicensed frequency bands

Originally, Wi-Fi was intended to support LAN connectivity over a short


range in an indoor environment for private use

It was intended to deliver traffic on a best effort basis without QoS


(Quality of Service) or SLA (Service level Agreement) between an
Access Point and the clients

Wi-Fi is by its nature a point-to-multipoint (PtMP) technology

Wi-Fi in a Nutshell

The huge indoor Wi-Fi market that has emerged over the last few years has
made the technology attractive for outdoor applications due to its apparent
economy of scale

An examination of the Wi-Fi outdoor user base, indicates that it is commonly


deployed by small limited budget ISPs:
Serving residential users without QOS or SLA
Over short ranges of several kilometers
Offering Internet access with low capacity under 1Mbps

The ready availability of chips and reference design in the industry, has
reduced the entry barrier for potential manufactures tempting many vendors
worldwide to offer this technology as a low-end broadband access solution

Wi-Fi Performance Overview

Interference in the unlicensed band used by the Wi-Fi (2.4GHz) is


increasing steadily with the proliferation of Wi-Fi devices

In addition, its incidence is quite random. Part of this interference is


due to the concentration of many Wi-Fi transceivers in a given area
and part of it is due to other systems using the same bands

RADWIN Training
Center |

Wi-Fi Performance Overview

It dramatically affects both the Wi-Fi service availability and capacity:

1. Wi-Fi link operation is not guaranteed due to interference

The operating frequency channel (20MHz) in many of the Wi-Fi transceivers is manually
selected during network configuration

Intensified interference while operating the equipment may intermittently drop the Wi-Fi
link until the interference drops to an acceptable level or until channel reselection takes
place which may require manual intervention

Those Wi-Fi transceivers that dynamically select the frequency channel search for signals
with a Wi-Fi pattern only: During channel selection, they check for the presence of a WiFi
signal rather than measure the spectral energy in the channel

That means that they are blind to any type of interference not due to Wi-Fi. Thus, these
transceivers may select a channel that is not subject to Wi-Fi interference, but does suffer
from interference due to other radio systems with a spectrum pattern different from Wi-Fi

RADWIN Training
Center |

Wi-Fi Performance Overview

It dramatically affects both the Wi-Fi service availability and capacity:

2.

Wi-Fi link capacity is highly vulnerable to Interference

Wi-Fi clients and AP sense the air-interface before sending data

Having certain level of interference in the channel might delay the transmission for
short or long periods,

hence, reducing the effective capacity with no way to avoid it

In addition, when error data is received, the Wi-Fi sender resends the whole packet
from the beginning

In harsh environment this approach not just reduces the capacity but also increase
the latency and makes it erratic, therefore damage the QoS of time constrain traffic
as VoIP and video

Long term experience shows that on average, the Wi-Fi network


capacity for TCP traffic
is less than 30% of the maximum modem rate
RADWIN Training
Center |

Wi-Fi Deployment Limitations

Wi-Fi capacity performance can easily be degraded in certain


deployment or service scenarios, unless special care is taken and
even that may not help

Such degradation increases the TCO (Total cost of ownership)

Typically, the initial equipment cost is a small part of the TCO

But - note that compromising on transceiver equipment quality will


also lower the Link capacity

RADWIN Training
Center |

Wi-Fi Deployment Limitations

Capacity degradation due to a concentration of APs (Access Points)

The Wi-Fi transmission and reception periods are not constant and subject to the size of the
transmitted packets

Hence, when several APs are collocated on a site their transmission and reception are not
synchronized

Consequently, they interfere with each other even though they may transmit on different
frequency channels

The end result is significant reduction of link capacity over a given distance or alternatively,
reduction of link distance for a given capacity

Spatial separation of the APs improves the performance but requires additional costly space

RADWIN Training
Center |

10

Wi-Fi Deployment Limitations

Wi-Fi cannot support delay sensitive services

Being designed for best effort data transmission, Wi-Fi is not aware of delay sensitive
applications such as video and voice

It therefore treats them as regular over-the-air data traffic increasing the end to end delay

To make matters even worse, this increases the delay variation of delay sensitive traffic

There are some Wi-Fi clients that support the WMM (Wi-Fi priority policy for Multi Media), being
able to prioritize multimedia packets over other packets during transmission

Such prioritization is essential but not enough: The Wi-Fi air interface (meaning the algorithm
for modulation selection) is intentionally tuned to deliver packets with PER (Packet Error Ratio)
up to 10%, relaying on higher layers such as TCP to re-transmit the packets with errors.
Consequently, the multimedia packets, carried over UDP are not retransmitted upon error,
degrading the end to end performance of voice and video services

RADWIN Training
Center |

11

Wi-Fi Deployment Limitations

VoIP traffic dramatically reduce Wi-Fi capacity

Due to the Wi-Fi air protocol (Air link sensing before transmission and acknowledgment
mechanism), a short packet of 64- 128 bytes as used by VoIP, reduce the Wi-Fi capacity
by tens of percent

Typically, one AP can handle only 7-10 VoIP channels! Obviously, this capacity shortage
can be compensated for by adding more APs, leading in turn to capacity degradation
due to concentration as described in the first bullet above

RADWIN Training
Center |

12

Wi-Fi Deployment Limitations

To Summarize:
1.Wi-Fi is aimed at indoor LAN connectivity for best-effort data
applications
2.Wi-Fi technology suffers from inherent drawbacks that prevent it
from being appropriate to high-end broadband applications like
long range backhaul, mission-critical or business applications
3.The vulnerability of Wi-Fi links to interference results in erratic
capacity in an outdoor scenario
All of these weaknesses limit the Wi-Fi solution investment
protection, adding up to a relatively
high Total Cost of Ownership along with degraded
price/performance at the high end

RADWIN Training

13

Performance Overview

Automatic Channel Selection (ACS)

Both during configuration and as a result of the link dropping, RADWIN radios
automatically chooses the clearest operating channel. In the event of a link drop it resynchs itself within few seconds. This minimizes service interruption due to interference
and ensures high link availability

Synchronous TDD

The WinLink 1000 transmits and receives on fixed timing basis, regardless the level of
interference. Therefore, unlike Wi-Fi, its transmission cannot be blocked by high level of
external interference

Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ)

The WinLink 1000 transceiver checks every portion of the packet immediately when it
received and upon error it requests re-sending again and again it until it correctly
received. This process avoids loss of capacity due to retransmission of the whole packet.
It also improves the link error performance to PER better than 0.1% for time sensitive
UDP traffic as TDM, VoIP and video while keeping the latency to the minimum necessary

RADWIN Training
Center |

14

Performance Overview

Support of Data and TDM

WinLink 1000 is built to support both data over Ethernet and native TDM. As
mentioned above, special care of TDM traffic enables low error rate with low end to
end delay. Stable and fixed capacity for variety of services The WinLink 1000s air
interface ensures that the net capacity is indifferent to packet size. It is therefore
highly efficient even for services with short packets as VoIP

Support of collocated PtP links

The WinLink 1000 supports Hub Site Synchronization (HSS). HSS is a unique Radwin
collocation technology designed to support Multiple Point-to-Point architecture from
one hub site to many remote sites. It avoids mutual interference between the
collocated PtP transceivers, therefore maximizing the dedicated capacity per site

Conclusions
1. Wi-Fi offers low cost outdoor wireless solution to the low-end market
with best-effort SLA
2. As shown, Wi-Fi links availability and capacity are highly vulnerable to
outdoor interference
3. Further, its capacity is subject to the type of traffic and to the network
topology, therefore it does not fit broadband mission critical
applications as backhaul or business environment
4. This raises serious questions about the true economics of Wi-Fi: Low
initial costs, heavy operational costs due to patching an inferior
solution along with a loss of customer confidence and the customers,
themselves!

Conclusions
5. RADWIN radios are designed to ensure high availability of its
broadband link under harsh and noisy conditions they maintain
stable and predictable capacity with short latency, regardless the

HBS Activation

The HBS will not transmit unless it has been activated (Inactive
State)

Upon reset or activation, the HBS scans all channels (selected in


ACS) for the less interfered channel (lowest noise)

The less interfered channel is assigned for the entire sector

When activated, the HBS will commence transmitting and receiving


packets related to sector management only
HBS Activation
requires:

a) HBS IP address

b) HBS Sector name


c) HBS Frequency (or
ACS)
d) Sector ID

HSU Registration

Assuming that the Sector HSUs are mounted aligned and powered
up, the HSUs will discover the HBS establishing links for
management only.

At this point the HSUs may be managed over the air.

As soon as the HSUs are configured to your satisfaction, you must


register them on the HBS.

RADWIN Training

52

HSU Registration

Registration of an HSU enables service traffic between the HSU and


the HBS.

During the registration process, you assign time slots to each HSU.

A total of 16 time slots are available to each HBS to be distributed


among the HSUs in the sector.

The relative number of time slots determines the relative amount of


service each HSU will receive.

RADWIN Training
Center

53

HSU Registration

Each HSU receives at least one time slot.

To disable an HSU you must deregister it.

A suspend mechanism is also available, to suspend service on an HSU


for a limited period.

For each registered HSU, you can set separately, the uplink and
downlink Maximum Information Rate (MIR) in Mbps or leave it at Best
Effort.

You may also manage an HSU Connection table to enable and disable
connectivity

between HSUs in a sector.

Physical Survey
Ensure that the sector sites are suitable for the wireless network:
1.From the compass readings taken in the preliminary survey, find
the azimuth (horizontal position) that each HSU ODU should face
towards the HBS ODU.
2.Using binoculars, locate any obstructions such as tall trees, high
buildings, hills or mountains. Look for other RF towers between the
two sites. Mark the locations of the obstructions on the map.
3.Determine the location for the ODU (having regard for existing
rooftop installations and tower space). It should be above any
obstructions, considering the Fresnel zone.
4.When installing ODU on a tower, make sure that the tower is far
enough from overhead electric power lines.
5.Determine a location for the indoor equipment; it should be as
close as possible to the ODU. At an existing site, there is probably an
equipment room with cable-routing channels.

6.
Measure and record the path length of the cable from each
ODU position to the indoor equipment room.
7.

Determine the ground and lightning connection points of the


installation. The ODU and PoE must both be grounded.

8.

Using the Ohmmeter, measure and record the resistance of


the required installation to the grounding point. The resistance
must be less than 1O ohm.

9. Review the results of the physical site survey. Decide if the site is
suitable for the wireless network installation:
If the site is suitable, you may proceed (RF Survey)
If the site is not suitable, survey another site
ODU operating temperatures: -35C to 60C (-31F to
140F)
IDU operating temperatures: 0C to 50C (32F to
122F)
RADWIN Training

94

RF Survey
The RF survey examines the wireless environment of the
installation site, to determine whether there are available channels
within the radio operating frequency band.
An RF survey is performed using a spectrum analyzer.
It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the spectrum analyzer
before going out on site, specifically the Max Hold and Marker
functions.
You should perform the RF survey at each of the proposed sector
sites.
The survey should be carried out during a busy time of day, to best
judge the worst-case radio interference. Allow 2-4 hours duration
for a good RF survey.

RADWIN Training
Center

95

RF Survey (continued)
Interference may arise from Self-interference from collocated RADWIN radios
Other collocated radio devices installed on the same
site.
Use the Link Budget
Calculator to determine the
minimum Tx Power
required to maintain sector
stability.

RADWIN Training
Center

96

RF Survey (continued)
To avoid or minimize interference, follow these recommendations:
For collocated RADWIN units, use an HSS unit to synchronize
between them.
Select a different operating channels for each collocated RADWIN
unit.
If one or more collocated units are not RADWIN units, ensure that
there is a physical separation of at least three meters between a
RADWIN unit and any other collocated radio on the site.
Use the largest possible frequency gap between these units
Choose the best frequency channel (as clear as possible from
interference). You may be able to change the band used for the sector
- depending on HBS model and regulations.
Decreasing the Tx Power of a sector will reduce collocation
interference

Grounding
All RADWIN products should be grounded during operation:
1.The ODU should be earthed by a wire with diameter of at least
12AWG.
2.RADWIN 5000 HPMP ODUs must be properly grounded to protect
against lightning.
3.It is the user's responsibility to install the equipment in
accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical
Code. These codes describe correct installation procedures for
grounding outdoor units, masts, lead-in wiring and discharge units.
It also lays down the size of grounding conductors and connection
requirements for grounding electrodes.

Installing the Hub Synchronization Unit


When several HBS sector radios/PtP radios are collocated at a
common hub site, interference may occur from one unit to another.
The RADWIN Hub Site Synchronization (HSS) method uses a cable
connected from the master ODU to all collocated ODUs; this cable
carries pulses sent to each ODU, which synchronize their
transmission with each other.
The pulse synchronization
ensures that transmission occurs
at the same time for all
collocated units.
This also results in all of the hub HSSU
site units receiving data at the
same time, eliminating the
possibility of interference that
could result if some units transmit
while other units at the same
location receive.

Total HSS Cable Length


The total path of the HSS sync pulse must not exceed 300m.
This applies no matter how many HSS units are used.
For example, for a HSSU with 5 ODUs, one should calculate the total length as
the path the pulse signal travels till it reaches its final SYNC port (last ODU):
Total length = L1 + L2 + L3 + L4 + L5 + L6 + L7 + L8, where L2=L3, L4=L5 and

Installing the GSU


The GPS-based synchronization unit (GSU) is designed to handle
inter-site interferences under large-scale deployment scenarios.
The GSU is an outdoor unit consisting of a standard Wireless Link
enclosure, a GPS antenna and a PoE device.
The GSU is connected to a HSS Unit using a standard HSS cable.
It synchronizes the transmission timing of multiple Hub-Sites to the
same clock source thus eliminating mutual interference.
The GSU receives a synchronization signal from the GPS once per
second.
It distributes a RADWIN proprietary synchronization signal to all
other ODU units using the RS422 protocol and the standard HSS
mechanism, where the GSU acts as an HSM unit.
If the GSU does not receive a synchronization signal from the GPS
for 30 seconds, it moves automatically to Self-Generation mode and
acts as a regular HSM unit, until GPS signal recovers.

Aligning HSUs to HBS


HSU antenna alignment to an HBS can be performed using HSU
ODUs audible tone.
1. Ensure that the sector antenna of the HBS is aligned precisely to
the sector it is intended to cover. Use a compass and topographical
maps to do this.
2. For both the HBS and HSUs: Using a coax cable with N-Type
connectors, connect the vertical polarization connector of the
antenna to the ANT 1 connector of the ODU.
3. Then, using a second coax cable with N-Type connectors, connect
the horizontal polarization connector of the antenna to the ANT 2
connector of the ODU.
4. Ensure that power is connected to the site PoEs across the sector.

Aligning HSUs to HBS (continued)


5. Provided that an HSU detects the signal from the HBS, the ODU
starts beeping 20 seconds after power up, and continues beeping
until the HSU is aligned to the HBS, and the alignment is complete.
6. Make a horizontal sweep of 180 degrees with the HSU antenna so
that the strongest signal from the HBS can be detected.
7. Slowly turn the HSU antenna back towards the position of the
HBS, listening to the tone until the best signal is reached. See the
following figure for audible signal variations.

Aligning HSUs to HBS (continued)


Three beeps and a pause is 'best signal so far'
Two beeps and a pause is 'signal quality increased'
One beep and pause is 'no change in signal'
Long beep and short pause is 'signal quality decreased'
One beep and a long pause is 'no air link'
Any other signal does not relate to antenna alignment

Using the Spectrum Viewer


Two ways to run it:
From the HBS

Users have a choice of analyzing all sites in the sector in one run, or
making a selection.
Users may expect a noise hump around the channels used by the
sector, due to the duty signals from the HBS.

From the HSU


Spectrum View may also be run on a managing computer directly
connected to an HSU.
Remember that in such a case the results will be quite different if
the HSU is part of a sector (registered or not) or if it is completely
stand-alone, for example using a different spectral range and
operating Band from the HBS.

RADWIN Training
Center

193

Using the Spectrum Viewer


Where is the Spectrum View Data stored
Spectrum View data is always stored in the ODU originating the
analysis.
The HBS maintains the last Spectrum View analysis data for all
members of the sector.
If you run Spectrum View from a directly connected HSU, it stores
its own data, which may be quite different from the analysis
obtained for the same HSU from the HBS.

There is no difference in principle between running a Spectrum View
analysis for an HSU and running it for the HBS.
There is a major difference between running Spectrum View on an
active HSU (registered or not) or in total isolation from the sector.
Here is what happens in total isolation:

information that you
believe will be helpful to
troubleshoot a problem

For example:
When managing a large
scale network, you need a
simple site name to reduce
the time it takes to locate
the address or key-person

HSU Configuration TX & Antenna


Configure here the HSU antenna
parameters such as:
Type (Dual / Single)
Max. allowed TX power
Gain
Cable Loss

Your configuration will


determine the EIRP

Bear in mind
When registering a new HSU
in a sector, you will need
to configure first the
antenna type. Should
you fail to remember this
step, the Manager will
display an alert during
the registration process

HSU Configuration Management Trap


Dest.

RADWIN Training
Center

220

An effective managed network


requires SNMP Traps to be sent
from the agents (HSUs) towards the
Manger (SNMP Manager)

To support sending the Traps from


the HSUs towards the SNMP
Manager(s), the user needs to
configure at least one Manager (IP
address and TCP Port)

Failing to configure Trap


Destination(s) will result in failing to
receive the HSU actual alarms.
Next update will take place when
the Manager will poll the HSU
(according to Polling cycle user had
configured).

Configure the IP address of Radwin


Manager PC (use Port 162) as the
first Trap Destination

HSU Configuration Management Protocols


To secure local management
(PC to HSU), configure here
the management VID and PBit

When not enabled, the local


PC only requires to know the

Guide lines
Before we start reviewing the configuration steps and
supported modes, we need to be familiar with the following
guide lines:

1.All VLAN actions and manipulations that are related to


DATA, are configured and performed by the HSU(s)
2.The HBS does not audit the ingress VLAN TAG coming from
the HSUs within its sector
3.To control the traffic within the sector we can use the
Connectivity Matrix (HBS Configuration)

HSU Configuration Ethernet VLAN


Disabled
When you wish the radio to transport
all frames transparently regardless of
L2 or L3 properties, set mode to
Disabled.
The Ingress port and Egress port will
ignore the L2 overhead
In this mode there is no L2 processing

HSU Replacement

Getting started
Lets assume we have 2 HSUs in the sector
Both are registered and managed by the HBS as seen in this screen
capture

Important Note
To replace one HSU with
another, you need at least one
HSU available in the sector
When the sector is fully
populated and all the HSUs are
registered, users will not be
able to initiate the Replace
command
RADWIN Training
Center

237

HSU Right-Click Menu

Right click the HSU to


expose its menu of
features and functions
When there are no free
HSUs in the sector to
take over, the Replace
option is not feasible
As seen in this screen
capture, the Replace
command is disabled

Example #1
In this scenario, we have 2 Active HSUs
(Registered and Operational)
