Issue 02 (2018-07-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 1

Figure 1-1 Integrated RTN 320
The RTN 320 provides such functions as service access, multiplexing, IF processing, and
system control and communication. The integrated ODU and extended ODU perform
frequency conversion and power amplification for signals.
1.2 Positioning
The RTN 320 is radio transmission equipment that provides transmission solutions for both
mobile communication networks and private networks.
The RTN 320 integrates all of its functions into a compact outdoor chassis that can be
mounted on a pole, thereby achieving zero footprint in terms of installation space. The RTN
320 can work with an extended ODU to provide two microwave directions. Therefore, the
RTN 320 helps lower network construction costs and operating expenses.
The RTN 320 supports flexible networking. RTN 320s can form ring or chain backhaul
networks for IP base stations.
The RTN 320 supports 4096QAM, 112 MHz channel spacing, XPIC, PLA/EPLA, MIMO,and
1+1 HSB/FD/SD. With such capabilities, the RTN 320 provides high-bandwidth backhaul
links for high-capacity 3G/LTE base stations.
On mobile communication networks, the RTN 320 can:
l Operate independently to form ring or chain backhaul networks to provide links with
high capacity, bandwidth, and reliability for 3G/LTE base stations. See Figure 1-2.

l Work with the ATN to provide a microwave channel solution for transparent
transmission on the IP radio access network (IP RAN). See Figure 1-3.
l Work with the RTN 380H housing MXXI5 boards to form a full-outdoor Super Dual
Band solution. With this solution, zero footprint as well as large-bandwidth and long-
distance mobile backhaul links can be provided. This solution applies to tail sites without
outdoor cabinets or equipment rooms. See Figure 1-4.

1.4 Site Configurations

An RTN 320 provides two microwave channels. An RTN 320 can independently provide a
1+0, 2+0, XPIC, 1+1, or multi-direction site. RTN 320s can be cascaded to form a 3+0/4+0
site or an XPIC site with 1+1 protection.
1.4.1 1+0 Site

A 1+0 site provides a microwave link in one direction.
At a 1+0 site, one single-polarized antenna is used. Depending on antenna specifications, an
RTN 320 can be directly mounted on an antenna (direct mounting) or connected to an antenna
using accessories (split mounting).

Figure 1-5 Typical configurations of a 1+0 site (direct mounting)
Figure 1-6 Typical configurations of a 1+0 site (split mounting)

1.4.2 2+0 Site

A 2+0 site provides two microwave links in the same direction.
At a 2+0 site, an RTN 320 and an ODU are installed on the same hybrid coupler. Depending
on antenna specifications, the hybrid coupler can be directly mounted on an antenna (direct
mounting) or connected to an antenna using accessories (split mounting). An extended ODU
is connected to the RTN 320 using an IF cable.
Generally, physical link aggregation (PLA) or enhanced physical link aggregation (EPLA) is
configured for the RTN 320 at a 2+0 site.
Figure 1-7 Typical configurations of a 2+0 site (direct mounting)

Figure 1-8 Typical configurations of a 2+0 site (split mounting)
1.4.3 1+1 Site

A 1+1 site provides a microwave link protection system that comprises one working link and
one protection link in the same direction. Depending on configurations, a 1+1 site can provide
1+1 hot standby (HSB), 1+1 frequency diversity (FD), or 1+1 space diversity (SD) protection
for its microwave links.
Two typical configurations are available for a 1+1 site:

l 1+1 site provided by an RTN 320 independently
l 1+1 site implemented by cascading RTN 320s (working with XPIC, only 1+1 HSB
supported)

This section describes only a 1+1 site provided by an RTN 320 independently. For the
description of a 1+1 site implemented by cascading RTN 320s, see 1.4.5 XPIC Site with 1+1
Protection.
Figure 1-9 illustrates the typical configurations of a 1+1 HSB site (direct mounting).
Figure 1-9 Typical configurations of a 1+1 site
In this example, the RTN 320 provides protection for one channel of GE optical/electrical
service. In applications, the RTN 320 can provide protection for multiple channels of GE
optical/electrical services. These services are synchronously switched between the main and
standby channels based on the channel status.

1.4.4 XPIC Site

An XPIC site is a special 2+0 site. The two microwave links provided by an XPIC site operate
at the same frequency, but their polarization directions are orthogonal. The XPIC function
cancels cross polarization interference between the two microwave links.
A dual-polarized antenna is required at an XPIC site. If an antenna with a diameter less than
or equal to 1.8 m is used, two RTN 320s are installed on the same orthogonal mode transducer
(OMT). The OMT is directly mounted on the antenna. If an antenna with a diameter greater
than 1.8 m is used, the RTN 320 and extended ODU are connected to the antenna using
accessories (split mounting). The following figure uses direct mounting as an example to
illustrate the typical configurations of an XPIC site.
Generally, PLA or EPLA is configured for the RTN 320 at an XPIC site. In this manner, two
microwave links are aggregated to form a high-bandwidth logical Ethernet channel, and load
sharing or protection is implemented for the microwave links.
Figure 1-10 Typical configurations of an XPIC site (direct mounting)

1.4.5 XPIC Site with 1+1 Protection

An XPIC site with 1+1 protection provides XPIC-enabled microwave links with 1+1 HSB
protection to achieve protection for microwave links in two polarization directions.
At an XPIC site with 1+1 protection, XPIC is configured within each RTN 320 and the two
RTN 320s are configured in a 1+1 HSB protection group through cascade ports. In the 1+1
HSB protection group, two RTN 320s are mounted to the same hybrid coupler, and two
extended ODUs are mounted to another hybrid coupler. The hybrid couplers in the vertical
and horizontal polarization directions are connected to a dual-polarized antenna using
accessories (split mounting).
NOTE
At an XPIC site with 1+1 protection, when RTN 320s work with hybrid couplers, two RTN 320s can be
mounted to the same hybrid coupler, but an RTN 320 and an ODU cannot.
Generally, PLA or EPLA is configured for the RTN 320s. In this manner, two microwave
links are aggregated to form a high-bandwidth logical Ethernet channel, and load sharing or
protection is implemented for the microwave links.
Two service access modes are available for an XPIC site with 1+1 protection: optical splitter
mode and LAG mode.
Optical Splitter Mode

An optical splitter is used to split one channel of optical signals into multiple channels. An
optical splitter receives GE optical signals, splits them into two channels, and transmits one
channel to the main RTN 320 and the other channel to the standby RTN 320. A GE cable is
used as a 1+1 cascade cable to connect GE ports of the main and standby RTN 320s. The
main and standby RTN 320s exchange protection protocol and DCN information over the 1+1
cascade cable. See Figure 1-11.

Figure 1-11 XPIC site with 1+1 protection (optical splitter mode)
LAG Mode
Two RTN 320s configured with XPIC can work with an OptiX RTN 900 or an LACP-
supporting UNI-side device to implement 1+1 protection, which improves the reliability of
microwave links in each polarization direction. A GE cable is used as a 1+1 cascade cable to
connect GE ports of the main and standby RTN 320s. The main and standby RTN 320s
exchange protection protocol and DCN information over the 1+1 cascade cable. See Figure
1-12.

Figure 1-12 XPIC site with 1+1 protection (LAG mode)
1.4.6 MIMO Site Configuration

A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) site configuration is a special N+0 (N = 2 or 4) site
configuration. A MIMO site configuration provides multiple microwave links operating at the
same frequency in the same RF direction.
MIMO configurations are available in three types: intra-NE 2x2 MIMO, inter-NE 2x2 MIMO,
and 4x4 MIMO.
A 2x2 MIMO site configuration uses two single-polarized antennas with the same
polarization direction and provides two microwave links with the same polarization direction.
The RTN 320s or ODUs can be directly mounted on antennas or connected to antennas
through accessories (split mounting).

Figure 1-13 Typical intra-NE 2x2 MIMO site configuration
To form an inter-NE 2x2 MIMO site configuration, two RTN 320s are cascaded through their
MIMO ports using two outdoor optical fibers of the same length. One fiber connects ports
MIMO1, and the other fiber connects ports MIMO2.

Figure 1-14 Typical inter-NE 2x2 MIMO site configuration
To form a 4x4 MIMO site configuration, two RTN 320s are cascaded through their MIMO
ports and provide two microwave links in the vertical polarization direction and two
microwave links in the horizontal polarization direction.
To form a 4x4 MIMO site configuration, two RTN 320s are cascaded through their MIMO
ports using two outdoor optical fibers of the same length. One fiber connects ports MIMO1,
and the other fiber connects ports MIMO2.

Figure 1-15 Typical 4x4 MIMO site configuration
Generally, RTN 320s at a MIMO site are configured in a PLA or an EPLA group. In this
manner, multiple microwave links are aggregated as a high-bandwidth logical Ethernet
channel, and load sharing or protection is implemented for the microwave links.
1.4.7 3+0/4+0 Site

A 3+0/4+0 site provides three or four microwave links in the same direction.
Through the cascade EPLA, the RTN 320 can provide three or four microwave links in the
same direction. These microwave links are aggregated to form a high-bandwidth logical
Ethernet channel, and load sharing or protection is implemented for the microwave links. At a
3+0/4+0 site, three or four frequencies are usually required. If XPIC is used, only two
frequencies are required.The RTN 320 is connected to an ODU using an IF cable. Two RTN
320s or ODUs in the same polarization direction or one RTN 320 and one ODU in the same
polarization direction are mounted to the same hybrid coupler for RF signal combination. The
hybrid couplers in the vertical and horizontal polarization directions are connected to a dual-
polarized antenna using accessories (split mounting).

Three service access modes are available for a 3+0/4+0 site: single NE-based access mode,
optical splitter mode, and LAG mode.
Single NE-based Access Mode

In this mode, the main RTN 320 receives/transmits services. This mode provides protection
for microwave links but not for equipment. See Figure 1-16.
Figure 1-16 3+0/4+0 site (single NE-based access mode)(non-XPIC)
A 3+0/4+0 site uses three or four frequencies without XPIC enabled and two frequencies with
XPIC enabled. In this example, four frequencies are used. If XPIC is enabled, ODU (1)
connects to an IF port on RTN 320 (2), and ODU (2) connects to an IF port on RTN 320 (1).
See Figure 1-16. Connections in optical splitter mode and LAG mode are the same as those in
single NE-based access mode.

Figure 1-17 3+0/4+0 site (single NE-based access mode)(XPIC)
Optical Splitter Mode

In this mode, an optical splitter receives GE optical signals, splits them into two channels, and
transmits one channel to the main RTN 320 and the other channel to the standby RTN 320.
This mode provides protection for microwave links and equipment. In normal cases, the
service optical port of the standby RTN 320 does not transmit optical signals. If the main RTN
320 fails, the standby RTN 320 activates its optical port for service access. See Figure 1-18.

Figure 1-18 3+0/4+0 site (optical splitter mode)
LAG Mode
In this mode, an OptiX RTN 900 IDU or LACP-supporting UNI-side device provides service
access and is configured with a static LAG. The static LAG and the E-LAG configured on the
main and standby RTN 320s can cooperate to implement protection switching for both
equipment and access links. See Figure 1-19.

Figure 1-19 3+0/4+0 site (LAG mode)
1.4.8 Multi-direction Site

A multi-direction site provides multiple microwave links. The RTN 320 can provide
microwave links in two directions, so it can support 2x(1+0) sites.
At a 2x(1+0) site, a single-polarized antenna is used. Depending on antenna specifications,
The RTN 320 or an extended ODU can be directly mounted on an antenna (direct mounting)
or connected to an antenna using accessories (split mounting). The extended ODU is
connected to the RTN 320 using an IF cable. The following figure uses direct mounting as an
example to illustrate the typical configurations of a 2x(1+0) site.

Figure 1-20 Typical configurations of a 2x(1+0) site (direct mounting)

2.1 Adaptive Modulation

Adaptive modulation (AM) technology automatically adjusts the modulation scheme based on
channel quality.
Modulation Scheme and Air-interface Capacity

When AM technology is enabled and the same channel spacing is used, the available radio
service bandwidth varies according to the modulation scheme: the higher the modulation
efficiency, the higher the bandwidth of the transmitted services.
l When channel conditions are favorable (such as on sunny days), the equipment uses a
higher-order modulation scheme to transmit more user services. This improves
transmission efficiency and spectrum utilization of the system.
l When channel conditions are unfavorable (such as on stormy or foggy days), the
equipment uses a lower-order modulation scheme to ensure that higher-priority services
are transmitted first. If some lower-priority queues become congested due to a lack of
available bandwidth, some or all interfaces in these queues are discarded. This method
improves the anti-interference capabilities of a microwave link and ensures link
availability for high-priority services.
Modulation Scheme Shift and Service Priorities

For Ethernet services transmitted through IP microwave, priorities can be set based on the
service bandwidth and QoS policies corresponding to the current modulation scheme, to
control service transmission. The transmission of services with the highest priority is ensured.

With the QoS technology, ethernet services are scheduled to queues with different priorities.
The services in different queues are transmitted to the microwave port after running the queue
scheduling algorithm. When modulation scheme switching occurs, certain queues may be
congested due to insufficient capacity at the air interface. As a result, certain services or all
the services in these queues are discarded.
Adaptive Modulation
Figure 2-1 shows how the modulation scheme shifts step by step according to weather
changes and how modulation schemes affect service throughput and reliability. In this
example, the modulation scheme of guaranteed AM capacity is QPSK Strong and the
modulation scheme of full AM capacity is 256QAM.

Characteristics
The AM technology used by RTN 320 has the following characteristics:
l Supports the superhigh-order modulation schemes 2048QAM and 4096QAM in addition
to the normal modulation schemes from QPSK Strong to 1024QAM Light. The
difference between strong/light modulation schemes and normal modulation schemes
lies in FEC encoding parameter settings. Strong modulation schemes have stronger error

correction capabilities, which mean higher receiver sensitivity but lower air interface
bandwidth. Light modulation schemes have poorer error correction capabilities, which
mean lower receiver sensitivity but higher air interface bandwidth.
l Can configure both the lowest-order modulation scheme (also called reference scheme or
modulation scheme of guaranteed AM capacity) and the highest-order modulation
scheme (also called nominal scheme or modulation scheme of full AM capacity).
l Can switch modulation schemes without changing the transmit frequency, receive
frequency, or channel spacing.
l Switches modulation schemes step-by-step.
l Features hitless switching. When the modulation scheme is downshifted, high-priority
services are not affected while low-priority services are discarded. Switching is
successful even when 100 dB/s channel fast fading occurs.
2.2 Cross-Polarization Interference Cancellation

Cross-polarization interference cancellation (XPIC) technology is used with co-channel dual-
polarization (CCDP) to double the microwave link capacity over the same channel.
CCDP transmission uses a horizontally polarized wave and a vertically polarized wave on a
single channel to transmit two channels of signals. Ideally, for CCDP transmission, there
should be no interference between the two orthogonal signals, even though they are of the
same frequency. In actual practice, despite the orthogonal nature of the two signals,
interference between the signals inevitably occurs due to cross-polarization discrimination
(XPD) of the antenna and channel degradation. To eliminate this interference, XPIC
technology is used to receive signals horizontally and vertically. The signals in the two
directions are then processed and the original signals are recovered from interfered signals.
Figure 2-2 shows the functional block diagram of a scenario where XPIC is used with CCDP.

2.3 Automatic Transmit Power Control

Automatic transmit power control (ATPC) is a method that uses received signal level (RSL)
of the receiver to adjust transmit power within the ATPC control range. This feature reduces
interference to neighboring systems and residual bit error rate (BER).
Figure 2-3 shows the relationship between the RSL and the transmit signal level (TSL).

2.4 Power over Ethernet

The RTN 320 provides a P&E port through which the RTN 320 supports power over Ethernet
(P&E) as a powered device.
P&E Principles
In P&E mode, an outdoor network cable carries Ethernet service signals along with DC power
signals. This eliminates the need for laying an extra power cable and therefore simplifies
installation.
An RTN 320 can work with a power injector (PI) to implement P&E through its P&E port.
See Figure 2-4.

Figure 2-4 Working with a PI

P&E Supply Distance

The P&E supply distance refers to the distance between the power sourcing equipment's P&E
output port and a powered device. See Figure 2-5.
Figure 2-5 P&E supply distance
Generally, the P&E supply distance depends on factors such as the powered device power
consumption, power sourcing equipment type, and the supply mode (forceful or negotiable
supply mode).
When an RTN power injector (PI) functions as the power sourcing equipment, it only couples
the GE signals and power signals, without regenerating or enhancing these signals. Therefore,

the length (L in Figure 2-5) of the network cable between the client-side device to the
powered device must not extend 100 meters.
2.5 MPLS and PWE3 Functions

The RTN 320 supports Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and pseudo wire emulation

2.13 Security Management

RTN 320 works with its network management system (NMS) to prevent unauthorized logins
and operations, ensuring equipment management security.
Overview of Hardware Security

RTN 320 uses the following hardware security measures:

l Microwave ports: The forward error correction (FEC) encoding mode is adopted and the
adaptive time-domain equalizer for baseband signals is used. This enables the microwave
ports to withstand strong interference. An interceptor cannot restore the content in a data
frame if coding details and service configurations are not obtained.
l Modular design: Control units are separated from service units, and service units are
separated from each other. In this manner, a fault on any unit can be isolated, minimizing
the impact of the fault on other units in the system.
l CPU flow control: The data flow sent to the CPU for processing is classified and
controlled to prevent CPU resources from being exhausted by a large number of packets.
This ensures that the CPU operates properly under attacks.
l Management port control: The protective cover for the maintenance compartment is kept
closed when the management port is not being used, preventing unauthorized access.
Overview of Software Security

RTN 320 processes two types of data: O&M data and service data. The two types of data are
transmitted over independent paths and do not affect each other. This enables services running
on an RTN 320 to be processed on two planes:
l Management plane
The management plane provides access to the required equipment and management
functions, such as managing accounts and passwords, communication protocols, and
alarm reporting. Security features on the management plane implement secure access,
integrated security management, and all-round security audits.
l Data plane
The data plane processes the service data flow entering the equipment and forwards
service packets according to the forwarding table. Security features on the data plane
ensure confidentiality and integration of user data by preventing malicious theft,
modification, and removal of user service packets. These features ensure reliable data
forwarding by protecting forwarding entries against malicious attacks and falsification.
Table 2-8 describes security functions provided by RTN 320.
Table 2-8 Security functions
Plane Function Description
Management plane Account and password Manages and stores

management maintenance accounts and
passwords.
Local authentication and Authenticates and authorizes

authorization accounts.

communication (SSL is the TLS1.0\1.1\1.2 protocols to
abbreviated form of Secure establish an encryption
Sockets Layer, and TLS is channel based on a security
the abbreviated form of certificate.
Transport Layer Security.)
Secure File Transfer Provides SFTP services.

Protocol (SFTP)

WLAN connection control l Supports access through

a WLAN password and
WLAN encryption.
l Supports the hiding of
SSIDs.
l Supports the setting of
WLAN access periods.
l Allows WLAN access
control by a MAC
address whitelist.
Data plane Flow control Controls traffic at ports.

Broadcast packets are
suppressed. Unknown
unicast packets and
multicast packets are
discarded. QoS is used to
control service traffic.
Discarding of incorrect Discards incorrect packets,

packets such as an Ethernet packet
shorter than 64 bytes.
Loop prevention Detects self-loops at service

ports and blocks self-looped
ports.
Access control of Layer 2 Filters static MAC addresses

services in the static MAC address
table, provides a blacklist,
enables and disables the
MAC address learning
function, and filters packets
based on traffic
classification.
Service separation Includes Layer 2 logical

separation, split horizon,
and physical path
separation.
2.14 Anti-Theft Function

Device authentication is the process wherein the U2000 checks and authenticates a device
using a key to prevent any illegal device access.
A user can create its own public and private keys on the U2000, loads the public key to a
device, and uses the private key for the NMS to authenticate the device. Once being loaded

with a public key, the device starts its anti-theft control function. The function stayed enabled
until the NMS uses its private key to unlock the device.
Anti-Theft Mechanism
l When data communication network (DCN) is available, you can manage the device anti-
theft function (that is, enable or disable the function) in an online manner by using the
U2000.
l When DCN is unavailable, you can manage the device anti-theft function (for example,
configure the warehouse-device anti-theft function) in an offline manner by using the
web LCT.
l For the main devices, two anti-theft measures are available: disallowing any
modification to the device configurations and restricting the air-interface bandwidth to 7
Mbit/s.
– After being stolen, a main device can continue to function for 7 days (the duration
can be specified to another value) and then its air-interface bandwidth will be
restricted to 7 Mbit/s, with DCN communication still available.
– After becoming unreachable to the U2000, a main device can continue to function
for 7 days, and then its air-interface bandwidth will be restricted to 7 Mbit/s. Once
its DCN communication recovers, its services automatically recover.
l Once an ODU is stolen, its services will be interrupted for half an hour every 8 hours,
and its DCN communication is available when its services are not interrupted.
NOTE
l A device private key cannot be exported from the U2000, thereby ensuring the safety of the device
anti-theft function.
l Before deploying the device anti-theft function, ensure that two sets of U2000 are deployed at two
different places for mutual backup. If only one set of U2000 is deployed, all the devices will enter
the "stolen" state once the U2000 fails, interrupting all the services on the network.

is set for one port, the other port will automatically synchronize with the port and work in the same
mode.
Table 6-1 IF running modes

IF Running Mode Application Scenario
IS6 mode l The IS6 mode provides high bandwidth

and large capacity.
l The IS6 mode supports 12 types of
modulation modes, including QPSK
Strong, QPSK, 16QAM Strong,
16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM,
256QAM, 512QAM, 1024QAM,
2048QAM, and 4096QAM, among
which 4096QAM is used only when AM
is enabled and non-XPIC mode is used.
l The newly developed XMC-3 ODU will
support the IS6 mode.
IS3 mode l The IS3 mode provides large capacity.

l The IS3 mode supports 13 types of
modulation modes, including QPSK
Strong, QPSK, 16QAM Strong,
16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM,
256QAM, 512QAM, 512QAM Light,
1024QAM, 1024QAM Light, and
2048QAM, among which 2048QAM is
used only when AM is enabled and non-
XPIC mode is used.

NOTE
l When running in IS6 mode, RTN 320 does not support 512QAM Light or 1024QAM Light.
l RTN 320 supports a 112 MHz channel spacing only when running in IS6 mode and working with 32
GHz RTN XMC–3 ODUs. If a channel spacing of 112 MHz is configured for one port of the two
ports, the channel spacing of the other port automatically changes to 112 MHz. Similarly, when the
channel spacing of one port of the two ports changes from 112 MHz to another value, the channel
spacing of the other port changes to the new value accordingly.
l For the highest modulation modes supported by XMC ODUs operating in each frequency band, with
each channel spacing, and in IS3/IS6 running mode, see 6.1.1.2 Microwave Working Modes and
Service Capacities (IS3 Mode) (ETSI) and 6.1.1.4 Microwave Working Modes and Service

NOTE
l The throughput specifications in the preceding tables are based on the following conditions:
l Frame header compression disabled: untagged Ethernet frames with a length from 64 bytes to
9600 bytes
l L2 frame header compression enabled: untagged Ethernet frames with a length from 64 bytes
to 9600 bytes
l L2+L3 frame header compression (IPv4) enabled: tagged Ethernet frames with a length from
70 bytes to 9600 bytes
l The difference between strong/light modulation schemes and normal modulation schemes lies in
FEC encoding parameters. Strong modulation schemes have stronger error correction capabilities,
which result in higher receiver sensitivity but lower air interface bandwidth. Light modulation
schemes have poorer error correction capabilities, which result in lower receiver sensitivity but
higher air interface bandwidth.
6.1.1.3 Microwave Working Modes and Service Capacities (IS3 Mode) (FCC)
This section lists the microwave working modes of the RTN 320 when FCC 30/40/50 MHz
channel spacings are used. Both integrated ODUs and extended ODUs support the IS3 mode.
When extended ODUs of the integrated RTN 320 use FCC channel spacings, they support
only the IS3 mode. Integrated ODUs support both the IS6 and IS3 modes. Therefore, when
extended ODUs use FCC channel spacings, two channels must be configured to work in IS3
mode.

document uses an extended ODU as an example to describe the microwave working mode (ETSI) of the
RTN 320.
NOTE
When running in IS6 mode, RTN 320 can work only with RTN XMC-3 ODUs. RTN XMC-3 ODUs
support eleven frequency bands: 7 GHz to 38 GHz.

encoding parameters. Strong modulation schemes have stronger error correction capabilities, which
result in higher receiver sensitivity but lower air interface bandwidth.
6.1.1.5 Microwave Working Modes and Service Capacities (IS6 Mode) (FCC)
This section lists the microwave working modes of the RTN 320 when FCC 30/40/50 MHz

l The difference between strong modulation schemes and normal modulation schemes lies in FEC
encoding parameter settings. Strong modulation schemes have stronger error correction capabilities,
which mean higher receiver sensitivity but lower air interface bandwidth.

Frequency Information
NOTE
Instead of the upper/lower limits of the central frequency of channels, the upper/lower limits of the
frequency that carries the TX signals are described as follows to indicate the scope of frequencies
supported by the RTN 320. The lowest central frequency of channels is higher than the lower limit
frequency by half of the channel spacing. The highest central frequency of channels is lower than the
upper limit frequency by half of the channel spacing.

6.1.3 Channel Configuration

The OptiX RTN 320 supports three channel configuration modes: adjacent channel co-
polarized (ACCP), adjacent channel alternate polarization (ACAP), and co-channel dual
polarization (CCDP).
ACCP
ACCP allows signals to be transmitted over the electromagnetic waves in the same
polarization direction on two adjacent channels. See Figure 6-1.

6.1.4 Receiver Sensitivity

Receiver sensitivity reflects the anti-fading capability of RTN 320. It varies with the IF
running mode.
6.1.4.1 Receiver Sensitivity (IS3 Mode) (ETSI)

This section lists the receiver sensitivity values supported by RTN 320 running in IS3 mode.
NOTE
Unless otherwise specified, the receiver sensitivity values in the table are valid when different types of
ODUs are used. However, the frequency bands and modulation schemes supported by different types of
ODUs are different.
The receiver sensitivity of the ODU integrated in the RTN 320 is consistent with that of the RTN XMC
ODU operating at the same frequency band.
N/A means that microwave working mode is not supported.
The guaranteed receiver sensitivity value is 3 dB less than the typical receiver sensitivity value.

7.3 Four-Port Coupler

A four-port coupler combines and splits four RF signals. The coupler applies to the 3+0/4+0
site scenario, and a single-polarized antenna can transmit a maximum of four RF signals,
saving installation space.

A single-polarized antenna can simultaneously transmit four RF signals using a four-port
coupler, saving device deployment costs.
A four-port coupler provides the following functions:
l In the transmit direction, the four-port coupler combines four RF signals into one RF
signal and sends the signal to the antenna.
l In the receive direction, the four-port coupler divides the RF signal received from the
antenna into four RF signals and sends them to four RF processing devices.
Compared with the two-port coupler, the four-port coupler consists of three balanced
couplers. Figure 7-7 shows the working principle of the four-port coupler.

7.5 Antennas
Radio equipment uses parabolic antennas to emit and receive electromagnetic waves. The
antennas that are described in this document are parabolic antennas compatible with RTN
320s.
7.5.1 Types
Antennas are classified into single-polarized antennas and dual-polarized antennas.

l Single-polarized antennas emit or receive electromagnetic waves in a specific

polarization direction. A single-polarized antenna provides a feed port, which can be set
to vertically or horizontally polarized.
Single-polarized antennas can also be classified into directly mounted antennas and
separately mounted antennas based on how RTN 320s are installed. Single-polarized
antennas with diameters of 1.8 meters or less support both direct and separate mounting,
whereas those with diameters of more than 1.8 meters support only separate mounting.
Figure 7-13 and Figure 7-14 show the feeds of single-polarized antennas.
Figure 7-13 Feed of a single-polarized antenna with a diameter of 1.8 meters or less
Figure 7-14 Feed of a single-polarized antenna with a diameter more than 1.8 meters

l Dual-polarized antennas concurrently emit or receive vertically and horizontally

polarized electromagnetic waves. Dual-polarized antennas can also be classified into
directly mounted antennas and separately mounted antennas based on how RTN 320s are
installed.
Figure 7-15 and Figure 7-16 show the feeds of dual-polarized antennas.
Figure 7-15 Feed of a separately mounted, dual-polarized antenna
Figure 7-16 Feed of a directly mounted, dual-polarized antenna

Antennas perform conversion between RF signals received from RTN 320s and
electromagnetic waves radiated in free space.
l In the transmit direction, antennas convert RF signals received from RTN 320s into
directional electromagnetic waves and emit these waves into free space.

l In the receive direction, antennas receive electromagnetic waves from free space, convert
these waves into RF signals, and transmit the RF signals to RTN 320s.
7.5.3 Working Principles

An antenna consists of a reflector, a feed, a radome, a shield, and a mounting bracket.
Figure 7-17 shows the structure of an antenna.
NOTE
This section considers a single-polarized antenna as an example. A dual-polarized antenna has two feed
ports and can concurrently transmit electromagnetic waves in both the vertical and horizontal
polarization directions. The working principles of each component of a dual-polarized antenna are
almost the same as those of its counterpart of a single-polarized antenna.
Figure 7-17 Antenna structure

3
2

1. Feed 2. Reflector 3. Shield

4. Radome 5. Mounting bracket
The functions of each component of an antenna are described as follows:
l Feeds
A feed receives RF signals from an RTN 320 at its input port and transmits those signals
to its output port through its waveguide. Located at the focal spot of the reflector, the
output port of the feed is equivalent to a double reflector antenna and emits
electromagnetic waves towards the reflector.
You can rotate the feed to change the polarization direction of an antenna. Here,
polarization direction refers to the polarization direction of emitted electromagnetic

waves or the direction of an electrical field. Figure 7-18 shows the polarization
directions that rectangular waveguides support.
NOTE
Antennas must have the same polarization directions as their connected RTN 320s or hybrid
couplers. Antennas of certain types use feeds with round waveguides. To adjust the polarization
directions of these antennas, follow their installation instructions and check their polarization
marks.
Figure 7-18 Polarization directions that rectangular waveguides support
Horizontal
polarization
Vertical
polarization
Direction of an electrical field
l Reflectors
Generally taking the form of rotatable paraboloids, antenna reflectors reflect
electromagnetic waves and increase directive gain.
– In the transmit direction, reflectors reflect the electromagnetic waves emitted from
feeds so the reflected electromagnetic waves are directional.
– In the receive direction, reflectors focus the electromagnetic waves from free space
to feeds' output ports.
l Radomes
Radomes protect antennas from being damaged by wind, rain, snow, or ice. Radomes do
not prevent electromagnetic waves from penetrating to the reflector.
l Shields
Shields are installed on high-performance antennas and help prevent side-lobe radiation.
l Mounting brackets
Mounting brackets are used to attach antennas onto poles and help achieve fine elevation
and azimuth adjustments. Large antennas generally require reinforcing rods in addition
to mounting brackets. For details, see specific antenna documentation.
7.5.4 Antenna Diameters

Antennas of different types or operating at different frequency bands are available in a wide
variety of diameters.
NOTE
This section provides the antenna diameters corresponding to certain frequency bands supported by the
ODU integrated in the RTN 320. For the antenna diameters corresponding to all frequency bands
supported by the extended ODU, see RTN XMC ODU Hardware Description.

Table 7-9 to Table 7-11 list diameters that antennas of different types support. "Yes" indicates
that the corresponding antenna diameter is supported. "NA" indicates that the corresponding
antenna diameter is not supported.

7.6 USB Flash Drives

Configuring, replacing, and upgrading RTN 320s is simple with USB flash drives, which store
NE data and new software to be installed and are also used to back up configuration data.
Functions and Features

USB flash drives prepared for RTN 320s store NE software and configuration data (including
databases, system parameters, and scripts).
l Software, patch packages, NE databases, and system parameters are backed up to USB
flash drives. This avoids the need to reconfigure data when replacing a RTN 320.
l Software of target versions stored in USB flash drives is imported to RTN 320s.
l Security features:
– The administrator accounts and passwords (encrypted) in the RTN.CER or
RTNEXTRA.CER file are used to authenticate USB flash drives.
– Other files in USB flash drives can be encrypted.
– The validity of files in USB flash drives can be verified.
Application Scenario
l For an upgrade or downgrade of an RTN 320, only the software of the target version is
stored on a USB flash drive. After the USB flash drive is plugged in and functioning, the
RTN 320 compares the versions of the running software and the software stored on the
USB flash drive. If the versions are not the same, the RTN 320 automatically downloads
the software from the USB flash drive for an upgrade or downgrade.
l During RTN 320 replacement, a USB flash drive is inserted into a faulty device. After
authenticating the USB flash drive, the faulty device automatically backs up its data to
the drive. After the faulty device is replaced, the drive holding the backup data is
inserted into the new device, which automatically downloads the backup NE data,
software, and system parameters and restores the NE data.
Data uploading
A USB flash drive contains the following folders:
NOTE
The USB flash drive partition format is FAT32.
l The root directory stores an RTN.CER/RTNEXTRA.CER file and a USBSEC.CFG
file (security policy file).

NOTE
l The RTN.CER/RTNEXTRA.CER file, which stores administrator-level account and

password information (with password information encrypted), is used for authenticating the
USB flash drive. The file is generated by a system administrator at the network management
center (NMC) using a dedicated tool.
l The USBSEC.CFG file stores the list of available files in the USB flash drive and the
verification information and encryption parameters of each file. When the files in the USB
flash drive are being loaded to an NE, the NE verifies and decrypts the files based on the
USBSEC.CFG file. If a file is not in the file list in the USBSEC.CFG file or a file fails to be
verified or decrypted, the file cannot be used by the NE.
l pkg: stores the NE software.
NOTICE
Data is saved in the \pkg folder only when the NE software is upgraded. Otherwise, keep
the folder empty.
l patch: stores the patch software.

l sysdata: stores system parameters.
l script: stores scripts.
l db: stores NE databases.
l license: stores a license.
l devicetype: stores device type parameters.
When a USB flash drive is connected to an RTN 320, the RTN 320 checks the folders on the
USB flash drive in the following order:
1. Checks for the RTN.CER or RTNEXTRA.CER file in the root directory. If the file
exists, the USB flash drive is authenticated. Otherwise, the USB flash drive fails to be
identified.
2. Checks the USBSEC.CFG file in the root directory, and verifies the integrity of files in
the USB flash drive and decrypts the files based on the USBSEC.CFG file.
3. Checks the NE software folder pkg. If the NE software version is different from that of
the local RTN 320, the RTN 320 upgrades its software.
4. Checks the patch software folder patch. If the patch software version is different from
that of the local RTN 320, the RTN 320 loads the patch software from the folder.
5. Checks the system parameter folder sysdata. If the folder contains data, the RTN 320
imports system parameters from the folder.
6. Checks the script folder script. If the folder contains data, the RTN 320 imports script
data from the folder.
7. Checks the database folder db. If the folder contains data and the device type under
\Devicetype is the same as the NE device type, the RTN 320 loads the database from the
folder.
8. If any of the preceding folders contains no data or does not exist, the RTN 320 checks
the next folder. If the RTN 320 finds none of the preceding folders, it exports its data to
the USB flash drive.
Ensure that USB flash drives have only the preceding folders, as extra folders may lead to
malfunctions.

NOTE
A device reads data from a USB flash drive at different rates in different scenarios. The user can check
whether the device is reading data from a USB flash drive by observing the USB port or USB flash drive
indicator.
Types of USB Flash Drives

Table 7-12 lists the types of USB flash drives supported by RTN 320. Not all USB flash
drives are supported by RTN 320. If a USB flash drive of another model or capacity is
required, confirm with the local Huawei office that the USB flash drive is supported by RTN
320.

Maximum transmission distance l 30 m (laptop/mobile phone)

l 70 m (laptop + external WLAN network
adapter)
NOTE
30 m is obtained based on tests in which a laptop
(such as Lenovo Thinkpad X230) or mobile
phone (such as Huawei 8815) is used and there is
no obstacle between the laptop/mobile phone and
NE. The actual transmission distance may vary
according to performance of the laptop or mobile
phone used.
70 m is obtained based on tests in which a laptop
works with an external WLAN network adapter
(such as Tenda W311U+) and there is no obstacle
between the laptop and NE. It is recommended
that an external WLAN network adapter with 18
dBm transmit power, -86 dBm receiver
sensitivity, and an antenna of more than 4.2 dBi
gain be used or an external WLAN network
adapter with better performance be used.

About This Chapter
This chapter describes the purpose, physical appearance, and connections of various cables
used with OptiX RTN 320s.
8.1 Outdoor Network Cables

Fitted with RJ45 connectors at both ends, outdoor network cables connect to Ethernet ports.
8.2 Outdoor Optical Fiber
Outdoor optical fibers are used for transmitting optical signals, and they fit outdoor scenarios.
8.3 Power Cables
A power cable connects a power supply device and the RTN 320 and supplies -48 V power to
the RTN 320.
8.4 RTN 320 PGND Cables
PGND cables are connected to ground screws and outdoor ground points (such as ground
points on towers) so that RTN 320 is connected to the outdoor ground grid.
8.1 Outdoor Network Cables

Fitted with RJ45 connectors at both ends, outdoor network cables connect to Ethernet ports.
The GE electrical ports of PIs support the medium dependent interface (MDI), MDI crossover
(MDI-X), and auto-MDI/MDI-X modes. Straight-through cables and crossover cables can be
used to connect the NMS ports and GE electrical ports to MDIs or MDI-Xs. Straight-through
cables are recommended if network cables are made onsite.

NOTE
l Straight-through cables are used between MDIs and MDI-Xs, and crossover cables are used between
MDIs or between MDI-Xs. The only difference between straight-through cables and crossover
cables is with regard to their pin assignments.
l Either straight-through cables or crossover cables can be used to connect RTN 320 to common
Ethernet equipment since Ethernet electrical ports support the MDI, MDI-X, and auto-MDI/MDI-X
modes. If RTN 320 connects to power sourcing equipment through a P&E port, pin assignments for
power signals output from the power sourcing equipment determines whether to use straight-through
cables or crossover cables.
l When P&E is used, the network cable transmits both power supply and Ethernet signals. The
Ethernet cable's inter-wire impedance difference must be within 50%; otherwise, Ethernet packets
may be lost.
8.2 Outdoor Optical Fiber

Outdoor optical fibers are used for transmitting optical signals, and they fit outdoor scenarios.

mm, outdoor protected branch cable
Optical fibers for GE optical ports are available in 10 lengths, ranging from 10 meters to 150
meters. Generally, a 2-meter fiber is used to connect the cascading ports in a cascading 1+1
protection group or an EPLA group. You can use optical fibers of appropriate lengths if the
lengths cannot meet onsite requirements.
8.3 Power Cables

A power cable connects a power supply device and the RTN 320 and supplies -48 V power to
the RTN 320.
Cable Diagram
A power cable is terminated with a tool-less connector with a puller at one end and is not
terminated at the other end. A terminal needs to be made for the other end onsite based on the
port requirements of the power distribution device. See the following figure.
Figure 8-4 Power cable diagram
