Technical Description V. 3.0 –June 2009
Alcatel-Lucent with its innovation of Microwave Packet radio has introduced for the first time a
Native packet microwave capable to be deployed on TDM network today and have already all
the required potentiality to move to a full packet network
9500 MPR in fact is a packet-based solution designed to address in native way networks where
packet based traffic is predominant, nevertheless supporting the still present TDM/ATM traffic,
which remains vital.
As capacity grows in the access the requirement for higher bandwidth support will be needed in
the backhaul as well as in the metro network. Alcatel-Lucent target to address metro networks
requirement with an MPLS based solution combined with microwave packet transport. The
result in the long run is a change in the backhaul from PDH links to carrier Ethernet and in the
Metro from SDH to carrier Ethernet MPLS packet rings, and eventually to mesh networks.

2 Alcatel – Lucent 9500 MPR solution
9500 MPR represents the solution to allow smooth migration from the TDM world to the packet
domain in the Mobile Backhauling networks.
Exploiting the benefits of packet architecture vs. circuit architecture (Multiservice aggregation,
Service awareness, adaptive packet transport) in accommodating broadband services, 9500 MPR
allows the access equipment to evolve in line with the new technology and related protocols
(ATM/TDM/Ethernet) without the need of renewal of an existing microwave site and protecting
the already made investments.
The Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR has a compact, modular architecture, constructed to allow
flexible use of line adapter cards so operators can optimize the configuration to meet the
specific requirements of a site. With the modular architecture comes additional resiliency and
flexibility. The solution can optionally support 1+1 fully redundant configuration with core
cards, PDH cards and modem cards; each type of card can be redundant independently.
Each of the six adapter card slots can be used for any adapter card type, removing the burden
of complex pre-engineering and future scenario planning. Four supported cards are: a 32 ports
E1 card, a 16 ports ATM/IMA card, an auxiliary card and a modem card.
The universal ODU is connected to the modem card inside the aggregator. 9500 MPR Node
supports a mix of non-protected and protected or diversity operation for single link, repeater
or star radio configurations.

9500 MPR together with all other Microwave and Optical transmission Network Elements is fully
integrated into 1350 OMS Network Management System providing all the tools required
operating the network. 9500MPR is also managed by the 5620 SAM broadband manager shared
with the Alcatel-Lucent IP product portfolios to provide full management and provision of the
network at service level.

9500 MPR
also offers an innovative Software tool (TCO SW Suite) designed to dramatically reduce the
complexity of Installation and Commissioning operations, reducing the associated effort and
the skills of the involved people, with a direct consequence benefit on the Total Cost of
Ownership of 9500 MPR product.
With the TCO SW Suite, the Installation & Commissioning process is carried out in 2 steps:
The use of TCO tools (pre-provisioning tool) and embedded Web server allows saving time and
money in the Installation & Commissioning phase, for the following reasons:
• Less skilled people are required on site. The person(s) that has (have) detailed equipment and
radio knowledge can work in back office and concentrate on the configuration of NEs without
loosing time in traveling from site to site.
• In the pre-provisioning tool, it is possible to use an existing provisioning file as template for the
creation of further configurations on other NEs. This allows a much quicker and less error prone
provisioning.

4 System Overview
Two separate units build 9500 MPR in the split mount architecture:
MSS: Indoor Unit for split-mount and stand alone configurations (Ethernet uplink)
ODU V2: universal Outdoor Unit for microwave uplink
The core platform, with multiplexing & symmetrical x-connection functions, is able to manage
different radio directions, with the possibility to add-drop tributaries in case of local
PDH/ATM/Ethernet accesses. Core platform is based on packet technology (Ethernet Switch)
with a generic interface serial 16 x GETH between Core and peripherals.

9500 MPR MSS –8 receives the Battery input through 2 power connectors mounted on the chassis
and connected directly to the Back plane; on MSS-4 a single connector is available.
Each board receives the Battery input (via Back plane) and provides adaptation to the customer
central power bus.

ODU V2
The ODU V2 supports capacities from 4xE1 to 136xE1 (9 to 305 Mbps) and modulation rates
QPSK, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64 QAM , 128 QAM and 256 QAM without hardware change.
The ODU will support also the new modem profile that will be implemented in next releases. So
it makes full capacity migration possible without the need to climb towers.
ODU V2 is available for all licensed frequency bands from 6 to 38 GHz and is for use with the
MSS.
ODU V2 connects to the MSS via a single 50Ω coaxial cable, which carries transmit and receive
IF signals, telemetry overheads, internal controls and ODU DC power.
• 1+0
• 1+1 HSB
• 1+1 FD
9
Starting from Q2 2009 a new ODU family has been released with lightning arrestor protection
integrated inside the ODU itself. It will be possible to recognize the new ODU by a dedicated
label. The two ODUs families are perfectly compatible, so no issue to mix them in a link.
Peripheral Overview
• Core Module
• 32 x E1 local access modules
• 16xE1 local access modules for native ATM/IMA traffic
• Radio Access modules (modem cards)
• Auxiliary card
• Fan Unit
The different incoming traffics are converted into Ethernet packets before sending them to the
Ethernet switch, the packet overhead on E1 being removed before sent in the air.
MSS-ODU300 connection is based on Coax cable
Full-protected configuration is available, including EPS, RPS hitless, HSB and Core module
protection.
Core Card

The core board could be protected through a Core Spare (same PN of Core Main) that can be
added to provide Control platform redundancy and protection of aggregated data using an
external switch.
The PDH Access Card has the aim to manage the specificities of the related external interface,
to implement the adaptation function between the external interface and the boundary
internal interface providing the consistency to the established SLA rules.
The PDH card terminates or reconstructs the E1 signal with the original PDH Timing
meeting G823/824 Req.

ATM Access Card (ASAP Card)
Like the PDH Access Card, the ASAP Card has the aim to manage the specificities of the related
external interface, to implement the adaptation function between the external interface and
the boundary internal interface providing the consistency to the established SLA rules.
16xE1
9500 MPR terminates the native ATM stream collected through ASAP card and to aggregate this
traffic into a unique Ethernet flow towards the air.
In the last 9500 MPR node facing the Core Network, the original ATM stream can be either re-
built on ASAP card or sent as ATM PW packets through Ethernet interface.
13
ASAP card supports Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) v.1.1. It is possible to configure up to 8
IMA groups on the same card; a single IMA group can support 1 to 16 E1 links.
The ASAP card extracts the ATM cells from each IMA group and discards the empty cells,
optimizing the bandwidth; it performs policing on ATM traffic and encapsulates the ATM cells
into Ethernet packets, according to RFC 4717.
At radio level, 9500 MPR manages the QoS of the original ATM stream according to the ATM
services category. Each ATM flow is assigned to a different radio queue according to its
priority. In order to further optimize the radio bandwidth, the following traffic management is
supported:
UBR +: traffic is transported at the MDCR (Minimum Desired Cell Rate), the traffic
exceeding the MDCR (but below PCR) is transported if radio bandwidth is available
The Modem Peripheral Modules are the intermediary between the digital base band and the
ODU; it adapts the core output into the ODU V2 input.

The card supports adaptive modulation feature: it means to adjust adaptively the modulation
and/or the channel coding format as well as a range of other system parameters) based on the
near-instantaneous channel quality information perceived by the receiver, which is fed back to
the transmitter with the aid of a feedback channel.
9500 MPR supports “error-less” modulation switching for any type of services: TDM, ATM or
Ethernet.
9500 MPR will support the main classical radio protection based on frequency diversity or space
diversity with an hitless switching at the receiver side.
Auxiliary card
External I/O : 6 inputs + 7 outputs. The polarity of each alarm is user configurable and
a user defined label could be add per each alarm.
Fan Unit
The Fan module holds three fans. To have high reliability 3 fans are used with separate alarms
in order to understand the urgency (two or three fans failed) or the not urgency condition (one
fan failed).
ODU is attached to its antenna by a direct-mount collar, which includes a built-in rotator for
selection of vertical or horizontal polarization. For single antenna protected, frequency
diversity and 2+0 operation, a direct-mount antenna coupler for two ODU is available.
A full range of direct-mount antennas is offered with diameters from 0.2m to 1.8m. Remote-
mount antenna kits are available for use with standard antennas of any diameter.
As an aid to antenna alignment, the ODU includes receive signal level (RSL) access via a capped
BNC connector.
