6.1 IP-10C Highlights
The following are just some of the highlights of IP-10C.
6.1.1 Radio Link
Frequency Band Support –IP-10C operates in the 6-38GHz bands and is compatible with all available RFU-C mediation devices, making the installation, upgrade, and maintenance procedures easy and simple.
High System Gain – IP-10C’s unrivalled system gain provides higher link availability, smaller antennas, and longer link spans. IP-10C provides higher overall capacity while maintaining critical and real-time traffic, saving both on operational and capital expenditures by using smaller antennas for a given link budget.
Power Adaptive ACM – IP-10C sets the industry standard for Advanced Adaptive Code and Modulation (ACM), increasing network capacity over an existing infrastructure while reducing sensitivity to environmental interference. In addition, IP-10C provides a unique technological combination of ACM with Adaptive Power to ensure high availability and unmatched link utilization.
6.1.2 Smart Pipe Features
Enhanced QoS – IP-10C enables operators to deploy differentiated services with stringent service level agreements while maximizing the utilization of network resources. IP-10C enables granular CoS classification and traffic management, network utilization monitoring, and support of EIR traffic without affecting CIR traffic. Enhanced QoS enables traffic shaping per queue and port in order to limit and control packet bursts, and improves the utilization of TCP flows using WRED protocols.
QoS with ACM – In line with other Ceragon FibeAir family products, IP-10C employs the Adaptive Modulation feature (ACM). ACM has a remarkable synergy with FibeAir IP-10C’s built-in Layer 2 QoS mechanism. Since QoS provides priority support for different classes of service, according to a wide range of criteria, it is possible to configure the system to discard only low priority packets as conditions deteriorate.
Latency – IP-10C boasts ultra-low latency features that are essential for 3G and LTE deployments. With low latency, IP-10C enables links to cascade further away from the fiber PoP, enabling wider coverage in a given network cluster. Ultra-low latency also translates into longer radio chains, broader radio rings, and shorter recovery times. Moreover, maintaining low packet delay variation ensures proper synchronization propagation across the network.

FibeAir® IP-10C Product Description
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 24 of 77
8.1 Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM)
Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) refers to the automatic adjustment of the modulation and coding scheme which the system can make to optimize over-the-air transmission with respect to weather-related fading. This scheme prevents communication errors related to deterioration in weather conditions.
Varying the modulation changes link throughput, enabling better-than-planned capacity in favorable conditions, which are most commonly present. When conditions become unfavorable, ACM provides for graceful degradation in performance in which only high priority traffic is forwarded.
FibeAir IP-10C employs full-range dynamic ACM. IP-10C’s ACM mechanism copes with 90 dB per second fading in order to ensure high transmission quality. IP-10C’s ACM mechanism is designed to work with IP-10C’s QoS mechanism to ensure that high priority voice and data packets are never dropped, thus maintaining even the most stringent service level agreements (SLAs).
The hitless and errorless functionality of IP-10C’s ACM has another major advantage in that it ensures that TCP/IP sessions do not time out. Without ACM, even interruptions as short as 50 milliseconds can lead to timeout of TCP/IP sessions, followed by a drastic reduction of throughout while these sessions recover.
8.1.1 Hitless and Errorless Step-by-Step Adjustments
ACM works as follows. Assuming a system configured for 128 QAM with ~170 Mbps capacity over a 28 MHz channel, when the receive signal Bit Error Ratio (BER) level reaches a predetermined threshold, the system preemptively switches to 64 QAM and the throughput is stepped down to ~140 Mbps. This is an errorless, virtually instantaneous switch. The system continues to operate at 64 QAM until the fading condition either intensifies or disappears. If the fade intensifies, another switch takes the system down to 32 QAM. If, on the other hand, the weather condition improves, the modulation is switched back to the next higher step (e.g., 128 QAM) and so on, step by step .The switching continues automatically and as quickly as needed, and can reach all the way down to QPSK during extreme conditions.

8.1.3 ACM and Built-In Quality of Service
IP-10C’s ACM mechanism is designed to work with IP-10C’s QoS mechanism to ensure that high priority voice and data packets are never dropped, thus maintaining even the most stringent SLAs. Since QoS provides priority support for different classes of service, according to a wide range of criteria, you can configure IP-10C to discard only low priority packets as conditions deteriorate. For more information on IP-10C’s QoS and Enhanced QoS functionality, refer to Using Smart Pipe mode, only a single Ethernet interface is enabled for user traffic and IP-10C acts as a point-to-point Ethernet microwave radio. In Smart Pipe mode, the GbE combo port is used for Ethernet traffic. All traffic entering the IP-10C is sent directly to the radio, and all traffic from the radio is sent directly to the Ethernet interface.
In Smart Pipe mode, the non-combo GbE ports can either be configured as management interfaces or they are shut down.
Integrated QoS Support on page 30.
If you want to rely on an external switch’s QoS, ACM can work with the external switch via the flow control mechanism supported in the radio.
8.1.4 ACM with Adaptive Transmit Power
When planning ACM-based radio links, the radio planner attempts to apply the lowest transmit power that will perform satisfactorily at the highest level of modulation. During fade conditions requiring a modulation drop, most radio systems cannot increase transmit power to compensate for the signal degradation, resulting in a deeper reduction in capacity. IP-10C is capable of adjusting power on the fly, and optimizing the available capacity at every modulation point, as illustrated in the figure below. This figure shows how operators that want to use ACM to benefit from high levels of modulation (e.g., 256 QAM) must settle for low system gain, in this case, 18 dB, for all the other modulations as well. With FibeAir IP-10C, operators can automatically adjust power levels, achieving the extra 4 dB system gain that is required to maintain optimal throughput levels under all conditions.

8.5 Integrated QoS Support
IP-10C offers integrated QoS functionality. In addition to its standard QoS functionality, IP-10C offers an enhanced QoS feature. Enhanced QoS is license-activated.
IP-10C’s standard QoS provides for four queues and six classification criteria. Ingress traffic is limited per port, Class of Service (CoS), and traffic type. Scheduling is performed according to either Strict Priority (SP), Weighted Round Robin (WRR), or Hybrid WRR/SP scheduling.
IP-10C’s enhanced QoS adds four additional queues for a total of eight. Enhanced QoS also adds an additional two classification criteria. Enhanced QoS provides hierarchical scheduling, with four scheduling priorities and Weighted Fair Queuing (WFK) between queues in the same priority. Enhanced QoS also offers Weighted Random Early Discard (WRED) for congestion management, in addition to tail-drop, as provided by standard QoS.
For a full comparison between IP-10C’s standard and enhanced QoS features, refer to Standard and Enhanced QoS Comparison on page 36.
8.5.1 QoS Overview
QoS is a method of classification and scheduling employed to ensure that Ethernet packets are forwarded and discarded according to their priority. QoS works by slowing unimportant packets down, or, in cases of extreme network traffic, discarding them entirely. This enables more important packets to reach their destination as quickly as possible. Once the router knows how much data it can queue on the modem at any given time, it can shape traffic by delaying unimportant packets and filling the pipe with important packets first, then using any leftover space to fill the pipe in descending order of importance.
Since QoS cannot speed up packets, it takes the total available upstream bandwidth, calculates the amount of high priority data, places the high priority data in the buffer, and repeats the process with each lower priority class in turn until the buffer is full or there is no further data. Any excess data is held back or "re-queued" at the front of the line, where it will be evaluated in the next pass.
Priority is determined by packet. The number of levels depends on the router. As the names imply, Low/Bulk priority packets are given the lowest priority, while High/Premium packets are given the highest priority.
QoS packets may be prioritized by a number of criteria, including criteria generated by applications themselves. The most common QoS classification techniques are MAC Address, Ethernet Port, and TCP/IP Port.

8.5.2 Wireless Link Rate Adaptation when Connecting to an External Switch or Router
Several alternatives exist, with different performance for each.
Wireless Link Rate Adaptation when Connecting to an External Switch or Router
8.5.3 IP-10C Standard QoS
Using IP-10C’s standard QoS functionality, the system examines the incoming traffic and assigns the desired priority according to the marking of the packets (based on the user port/L2/L3 marking in the packet). In case of congestion in the ingress port, low priority packets are discarded first.
The user has the following classification options:
Source Port
VLAN 802.1p
VLAN ID
MAC SA/DA
IPv4 TOS/DSCP
IPv6 Traffic Class
After classification, traffic policing/rate-limiting can optionally be applied per port/CoS.
IP-10C system has four priority queues that are served according to three types of scheduling, as follows:
Strict Priority – All top priority frames egress towards the radio until the top priority queue is empty. Then, the next lowest priority queue’s frames egress, and so on. This approach ensures that high priority frames are always transmitted as soon as possible.
FibeAir® IP-10C Product Description
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 33 of 77
Weighted Round Robin (WRR) – Each queue can be assigned a user-configurable weight from 1 to 32.
Hybrid – One or two highest priority queues use Strict Priority and the others use WRR.
Shaping is supported per interface on egress.
8.5.4 QoS Traffic Flow
The figure below shows the QoS flow of traffic.

8.5.5 Enhanced QoS
Enhanced QoS provides additional QoS functionality on the egress path towards the radio interface. Enhanced QoS requires an upgrade license.
The following are the main features of enhanced QoS:
Eight queues instead of four
Enhanced classification:
Classifier assigns each frame a queue and a CIR/EIR designation
Criteria – Same as standard QoS with addition of:
- MPLS EXP bits
- UDP port
Re-marking of 802.1p bit in the frame VLAN header (optional)
Configurable frame buffer size per queue

4 scheduling priorities (each queue can be independently configured to any of the 4 priorities)
WFQ between queues in same priority with configurable weights
Shaping per port and per queue
Enhanced QoS enables differentiated services with strict SLA while maximizing network resource utilization.
IP-10C Enhanced QoS
8.5.6 Weighted Random Early Detection
One of the key features of IP-10C’s enhanced QoS is the use of Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) to manage congestion scenarios. WRED provides several advantages over the standard tail-drop congestion management method.
WRED enables differentiation between higher and lower priority traffic based on CoS.
Moreover, WRED can increase capacity utilization by eliminating the phenomenon of global synchronization, which can occur when TCP flows sharing bottleneck conditions receive loss indications at around the same time. This can result in periods during which link bandwidth utilization can drop to as low as 75%.
FibeAir® IP-10C Product Description
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 35 of 77
Synchronized Packet Loss
In contrast, WRED begins dropping packets randomly when the queue begins to fill up, with increased probability. This increases capacity utilization to almost 100%.

8.5.8 Enhanced QoS Benefits
The main benefits of enhanced QoS are:
The addition of UDP ports and MPLS EXP bits as classification criteria provides for more granular CoS classification (i.e., for 1588v2 control frames and MPLS PWE3 services).
The use of eight CoS queues with enhanced scheduling schemes support enables highly granular traffic management for differentiated services.
Statistics per CoS queue, including transmitted and dropped frames, enables monitoring network utilization and the detection of “pinch points.”
Shaping per queue as well as per port limits and controls packet bursts, resulting in improved utilization and end-to-end latency.
Weighted Random Early Discard (WRED) improves utilization and behavior of TCP flows.
CIR/EIR-based congestion management support (color-awareness) enables support of EIR traffic without affecting CIR traffic.

8.6 Synchronization Support
Synchronization is an essential part of any mobile backhaul solution and is sometimes required by other applications as well.
Two unique synchronization issues must be addressed for mobile networks:
Frequency Lock: Applicable to GSM and UMTS-FDD networks.
Limits channel interference between carrier frequency bands.
Typical performance target: frequency accuracy of < 50 ppb.
Sync is the traditional technique used, with traceability to a PRS master clock carried over PDH/SDH networks, or using GPS.
Phase Lock with Latency Correction: Applicable to CDMA, CDMA-2000, UMTS-TDD, and WiMAX networks.
Limits coding time division overlap.
Typical performance target: frequency accuracy of < 20 - 50 ppb, phase difference of < 1-3 msecs.
GPS is the traditional technique used.
8.6.1 Wireless IP Synchronization Challenges
Wireless networks set to deploy over IP networks require a solution for carrying high precision timing to base stations. Two new approaches are being developed in an effort to meet this challenge:
Various Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) techniques
Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE)
FibeAir® IP-10C Product Description
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 38 of 77
8.6.2 Precision Timing-Protocol (PTP)
PTP synchronization refers to the distribution of frequency, phase, and absolute time information across an asynchronous packet switched network. PTP can use a variety of protocols to achieve timing distribution, including:
IEEE-1588
NTP
RTP
Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) Synchronization
8.6.3 Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE)
SyncE is standardized in ITU-T G.8261 and refers to a method whereby the clock is delivered on the physical layer.
The method is based on SDH/TDM timing, with similar performance, and does not change the basic Ethernet standards.
The SyncE technique supports synchronized Ethernet outputs as the timing source to an all-IP BTS/NodeB. This method offers the same synchronization quality provided over E1 interfaces to legacy BTS/NodeB.

8.6.4 IP-10C Synchronization Solution
Ceragon's synchronization solution ensures maximum flexibility by enabling the operator to select any combination of techniques suitable for the operator’s network and migration strategy.
PTP optimized transport:
Supports a variety of protocols, such as IEEE-1588 and NTP
Guaranteed ultra-low PDV (<0.05 msec per hop)
Unique support for ACM and narrow channels
SyncE “Regenerator” mode
PRC grade (G.811) performance for pipe (“regenerator”) applications
8.6.5 Synchronization Using Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) Optimized Transport
IP-10C supports the PTP synchronization protocol (IEEE-1588). IP-10C’s PTP Optimized Transport guarantees ultra-low PDV (<0.02 msec), and provides unique support for ACM and narrow channels.
Ceragon's unique PTP Optimized Transport mechanism ensures that PTP control frames (IEEE-1588, NTP, etc.) are transported with maximum reliability and minimum delay variation, to provide the best possible timing accuracy (frequency and phase) meeting the stringent requirement of emerging 4G technologies.
FibeAir® IP-10C Product Description
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 40 of 77
PTP control frames are identified using the advanced integrated QoS classifier.
Frame delay variation of <0.02 msec per hop for PTP control frames is supported, even when ACM is enabled, and even when operating with narrow radio channels.
PTP Optimized Transport
8.6.5.1 Ensuring Ultra Low Delay Variation for PTP Optimized Transport
Delay variation is an important factor to consider when implementing sync over packet protocols such as PTP Optimized Transport.
The quality of recovered clock depends on Packet Delay Variation (PDV). Slow variation are most harmful, not averaged well by the receiver.
Factors that affect delay include:
"Head-of-Line blocking” – High priority frames wait until transmission of the current frame is complete.
ACM – Causes changes in per-hop delay:
Modem coding latency is different in each modulation.
Different modulations per direction may occur.
Lower radio link capacity leads to higher per-hop packet delay.
For example, an IEEE-1588 frame over a 28MHz channel has the following delay scenarios:
Minimum delay: 110µsec (256QAM and no frame started transmission before)
Worst case delay: 800µsec (QPSK and 1,518 byte frame started transmission before)
FibeAir® IP-10C Product Description
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 41 of 77
This amounts to a 690µsec variation at each hop!
To ensure ultra-low delay variation for PTP Optimized Transport, IP-10C creates a dedicated channel for IEEE-1588 control frames:
Fixed bandwidth channel
Operates in parallel to the main channel which carries Ethernet traffic
Has fixed and symmetrical latency over all ACM points
Eliminates delay-variations and Head-of-Line blocking effects
< 20µsec PDV per hop!
All other services use the main radio channel.
Ensuring Ultra-Low Delay Variation for PTP Optimized Transport
8.6.6 SyncE “Regenerator” Mode
When working in Smart Pipe mode, SyncE must pass bi-directionally across the radio link with minimal performance degradation (as close as possible to the performance of a fiber link).
For this application, IP-10C has a dedicated mechanism which provides PRC grade (G.811) performance.
