• Lower cost than Airspan’s Air4G-W24 3605 BS

• The antenna offering: cost-effective dual-slant antennas covering the specific band

• The antennas have Manual Electric Tilt (MET) mechanism

• Air4Gs max Tx power is much more than enough for the USA market in 3.65 GHz as

FCC regulations set maximal EIRP (max Tx power plus antenna gain) values of:

Size Matters !

– Most telecom towers and prime “high-site” buildings are fully

occupied by 2G & 3G Cellular Operators.

– Space on the sites is limited. This generally prevents the

deployment of large beamforming arrays and multiple box solutions.

– These sites demand premium space rental – landlords have got

wise to the demand for these sites and charge accordingly.

• Key Air4Gs Characteristics to avoiding roll-out delays and reduce OPEX:

• Smallest Possible Form Factor

• No Indoor Components

• Single Mounting Point per Sector


Air4Gs 3600 Antennas

• Dual Port antennas for MIMO Applications

• 60° and 90° Az Beamwidth models available

• High gain antennas

• 17dBi for 60 degrees, 16dBi for 90 degrees

• Manual Electric Tilt (MET)

• Omni Antennas for single sector deployments

• Dual Omni antenna is being developed these days

• Airspan’s catalogue numbers for the antennas:

60deg Dual Slant Antenna SEC60X-3.65-RC-1

90deg Dual Slant SEC90X-3.65-RC-1

Omni Antenna OMNIV-3.7-RC-2

MIMO Matrix A and B

• Enhancing Coverage (MIMO Matrix A – STC - Space-Time

Coding)

– Single data stream replicated & transmitted over multiple

antennas

– Improves probability of the receiver to overcome fades

– Enhances link budget in the DL

• Increasing Capacity (MIMO Matrix B – SM - Spatial

Multiplexing)

– Multiple data streams transmitted at the same time and

in the same frequency from different BS antennas

– doubles capacity in the DL: 34Mbps instead of 17Mbs in

10MHz

– MacroMAXe: double the capacity than some competing

products which fail to support MIMO Matrix B!

Airspan is implementing Dynamic MIMO which switches between

Matrix A & B per MS in order to maximise throughput.


Extended Range Support

• Standard 16e Air Protocol has a limited cell range (derived by protocol issues):

• This limited cell size is sometimes an obstacle – especially for fixed applications

• 16d can get to 50 KM (assuming the link budget allows that)

• Airspan has such deployments

• Our BS supports an Extended Range (limited by link budget only):

Channel size Theoretical Max Cell Radius (KM) Notes

10MHz, 5MHz 8.4 KM

7MHz, 3.5MHz 20.7 KM Some 16e products do not support such

channel sizes

Channel size Theoretical Max Cell Radius (KM) Notes

10MHz, 5MHz 37.5 KM 25 KM already proven in the field

7MHz, 3.5MHz 52.5 KM


The advantages of Ethernet CS and VLANs

• Mobile WiMAX defined IP CS as “mandatory” and Ethernet CS as “optional”

• Airspan believes that Ethernet CS should not be an option – it must be included!

• Ethernet CS and VLANs make replacement or integration easier

• Easier to replace or enhance a network based on 16d or legacy systems using MacroMAXe 16e platform

• Easier to replace or enhance existing wired based networks such as ADSL networks

• Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are ideal for:

• The creation of de facto Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)

• Each VPN has is identified by a unique VLAN ID and has its own IP addresses

• Traffic Engineering (TE)

• VLAN IDs are mapped into MPLS labels by third party MPLS switch

• VLAN IDs are mapped into ATM or Frame Relay Virtual Circuits (VCs) by third party switch

• VLAN IDs define end-to-end levels of service (such as Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze)

• VLAN IDs help to distinguish between different types of service (such as VoIP, Internet Access,

VPN traffic)


Our BS Supports IP CS and Ethernet CS

• The BS and many 16e CPEs support both IP CS and Ethernet CS

• The BS supports VLAN transfer

• VLAN switch at CPE side

• Multiple VLANs per CPE are supported (helps beating competition!)

• Even better – the BS supports also VLAN tagging / untagging!

• Multiple VLANs per CPE

• The BS supports IP CS and Ethernet CS at the same time

• IP CS for mobile / portable users using USB dongles, for example; Working with ASN GW

• Ethernet CS for fixed outdoor and indoor CPEs serving business customers and VPNs


The BS Supports Stand Alone mode

• The BS works with ASN GW & AAA server as defined by mobile WiMAX

• For fixed applications the BS also supports “Stand Alone” mode

• No ASN GW and no AAA server – to save costs

• Netspan is configuring the Service Flows (like it does for 16d solutions)

• No mobility, no seamless handover

• If authentication is needed – add Free Radius server

• Radius client in the BS

• Netspan helps configuring the Free Radius Server


VoiceMAXe

• Mobile WiMAX relies on IMS architecture for VoIP

• However this is an expensive architecture

• The BS supports also VoiceMAXe:

• Dynamic allocation of UGS or ertPS for VoIP calls

• Blocking the “N+1” call – network busy tone

• Supporting emergency calls such as “911”

• VoiceMAXe solution:

• Additional server in the network

• Communicates with MacroMAXe

• Allowing the use of any SIP client

• 1/2/4 POTS; WiFi; SIP/IP phone; ISDN GW

• Allowing the use of any third party Softswitch

• Supporting fixed CPEs using Ethernet CS


Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR): Introduction

• IEEE 802.16e introduced some sophisticated PHY layer modes which allow for advanced

frequency re-use schemes

• The introduction of Partial Use of Sub Channels (PUSC) allows the

network to group sub-carriers in a way that inter-cell interference

can be reduced or avoided all together


Traditional Frequency Planning

• 16d Networks are planned in a “traditional” frequency re-use pattern with multi-

sector cells:

3 Sectored Cells – typically 40% aggregate capacity reduction due to co-channel interference

when using 3 channel allocations across entire network.


Fractional Frequency Re-use (FFR) - Single Cell

FFR Zone

All Tones

All Tones

All Tones

• A key Mobile WiMAX deployment technique is

Fractional Frequency Re-use (FFR)

• 1/3 Tones used per sector in PUSC region

• Capacity is 1/3

• FFR enables the use of all sub-carriers in Full

Re-use (FUSC) Zone

• Where there is sufficient SNR

• In FFR region BS delivers all capacity of channel size
