Document Version 1.2 2012, March 19: 9500MPR ODU300 and MPT: available configurations
Note
The feasibility of any 9500MPR configuration with ODU300 or MPT (see MPT variants in Annex 1) not included in this document must be asked to and
confirmed by the Wireless Transmission Product Line Management.
1-Restrictions when ATPC=on ODU300
In all cases where it is requested ATPC=on, the following additional constraints must be respected:
frequency bands below 15 GHz should not be used because of the limited speed of the ATPC algorithm
| fk - fi | (28MHz + CS), where
o fk are the frequencies used by the MXC equipment
o fi are the frequencies used by any possible co-polar signal in the same area
NOTE: WE KEPT THIS, BECAUSE WE ASSUME THIS IS RELATED TO ODU BEHAVIOUR => same behavior as MXC
ATPC functionality can not be used in conjunction with the Adaptive Modulation. (Ref. 9500MPR GAD)
2-Restriction when ATPC=on MPT
ATPC functionality can not be used in conjunction with the Adaptive Modulation. (Ref. 9500MPR GAD)
3-Restriction when using a coupler to combine two ODU300s onto a single polarization
Important Note on ODU300 (Ref. 9500MXC GAD - ETSI version, chapter 33 Coupler): When using a coupler to combine two ODUs onto a single
polarization the operating channels must be chosen from within the same diplexer option (see tuning guide to identify the options per Diplexer type).If
the two ODUs are not from the same tuning/diplexer option then interference may occur, resulting in degraded link performance.
4-Restriction when using a coupler to combine two MPT ODUs onto a single polarization
Attention must be taken to avoid local interference between the two sub-bands chosen, i.e. basically above restriction 3 is valid also for MPT.
MPT can be used with 2 adjacent channels CP. Restriction in CS 28MHz, 30MHz, 40MHz, 50MHz, in 256QAM only (no pb in 56MHz/256QAM).
Behaviour: in case of adjacent/copolar channel you may see Rx threshold degradation. See adjacent channel characteristics GAD 6.2.9 and 6.2.10.
Note: in the following schemes typical values of branching loss are reported: branching loss values depending on frequency band are specified in
Table 1 (ODU300) and Table 2 (MPT) in Annex 2.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: for implementation of configurations 5, 6 and 8 it is recommended to set as default Tx (ODU main) the higher antenna at
both the end-sites so that to avoid obstructions along the main path.
Please note that, referring to the following configurations with MPT HC and MC using dual polarized antennas, the current document release refers to
solutions with not integrated antennas and does not include any OMT solutions (see GAD 16.4).

9500MPR ODU300 and MPT: available configurations v 1.2

Annex 1

MPT variants (9500MPR GAD extract at 2012 March 19)

There are two different options of MPT:
MPT HC
MPT MC
Both MPT variants can work in split mount connected to MSS4/8 and MSS-1c or stand alone mode called
MPR-e.
The architecture of MPT HC and MC is common. The difference between the two versions are the following:

1) 1+1 Configuration
MPT-HC does foresee the possiblity to expand its capability thanks to a module to be plugged directly on
the outdoor unit. Currently two module are foreseen: XPIC module (to be used for XPIC configuration) and
RPS module (to be used for 1+1 configuration). The two mate MPTs are consequently interconnected
through a cable to allow the exchange og signals needed to perform XPIC or RPS functionalities

Starting from R 3.3, RPS modules 3DB1820117BA and the tight cable between two mate MPT-HC are
optional.

Default configuration for 1+1 HSB/SD/FD radio protection does not require RPS module and tight cable:
signals needed for RPS are exchanged between two mate MPTs through IDU/ODU cables and through MSS,
instead of using RPS modules and tigth cable. This is leading to a cost optimized solution both in term of
cost and in term of operations.

Only in case of mixed traffic E1 AND Ethernet, If jumbo frames (>5000 bytes) are transported with mixed
TDM traffic, the maximum number of TDM2TDMs that can be cross-connected in a given radio direction in
1+1 configuration without RPS module and tight cable is 110 E1 in channel spacing of 40 Mhz and 81 E1 in
channel spacing of 56 MHz. If no jumbo frames are transported or if the number of TDM flows is lower than
the maximum, the suggested configuration is without RPS module and tight cable. For MPT-MC, an RPS
module is not foreseen and the only possible working mode is without the tight cable between the two
mate MPTs (no changes compared to previous releases): the above limit applies to MPT-MC as well.

No limit is present in case of full Ethernet traffic

2) Connectivity
MPT MC offers electrical connectivity on a single CAT5 cable providing data and power.

MPT HC offers both electrical and optical connectivity.

(Please refer to the IDU-ODU interconnection section for cable length)

MPT HC V2 offers both electrical connectivity on a single CAT5 cable providing data and power and optical
connectivity

3) MPT HC upgradability
Current architecture of MPT allows the user to upgrade the hardware to XPIC or 1+1 thanks to a unique
plug-in mounted directly on the outdoor itself.

The upgrade to XPIC or 1+1 can be done on field without any specific tool. The module attached to the radio
is guaranteed IP67 after mounting.
