4. Network Design

4.1 Access Coverage Architecture

The A8n will be used for primary outdoor coverage. The horizontal beamwidth of each A8n sector antenna is 70-degrees and the vertical beamwidth is 12-degrees. The coverage of an A8n base station looks similar to a square shape (Figure 2), rather than a circular coverage as given by a standard omni-antenna. However, in general illustration purpose, we may still use a circular shape if detail calculation is not required. With a coverage radius of 500 m, the corresponding side of the square will be 5002 + 5002 = 700 m and the area of the square is approximately equal to 0.5 km2.

Figure 2: A8n Single Base Station Coverage

700 m NLOS500 m NLOS700 m NLOS

A8n can provide a NLOS coverage radius of 350 to 500 m across the sub-urban areas where the buildings are relatively low-raised. For urban areas with high-raised buildings, the coverage is highly dependable on the building and street structure, a 250 m NLOS coverage radius along a street (i.e. 500 m span) can be used as a rule-of-thumb. For outdoor open areas such as park, A8n can provide a near LOS radius of up to 1 km or more.

The number of A8n per km2 varies with the coverage radius which depends on the environment. Figure 3 summarized the number of A8n required per km2 for various coverage radii.

Figure 3: A8n Coverage Distance and Area

EnvironmentCoverage Radius (r)Coverage Area (2r2)No. of A8n/ km2

Open Area (LOS)1000 m2 km20.5

Rural (NLOS)500 m0.5 km22

Sub-urban (NLOS)350 m0.25 km24

Urban (NLOS)250 m0.125 km28

In general, for an area of 1 km2 in sub-urban environment, it would require 2 to 4 A8n base stations. Proof-of-concept (PoC) field trials at representative environments can be conducted to verify the actual coverage radius at different scenarios and a budgetary plan mainly based on number of base stations can be prepared.

The sector antennas of A8n base station operate at 2.4 GHz provide access coverage to the client terminals, and the A8n base station has both a wired Ethernet port and a 5 GHz wireless backhaul for connection to the backend network. In the case using the physical backhaul, this requires connection to broadband Ethernet line from Internet Service Provider (ISP). To save the physical backhaul costs and in some rural area cases where the wired Internet outlet is not easily available, wireless backhauls will be used to group several A8n base stations into a cluster for larger coverage area as illustrated in Figure 4.

Figure 4: A8n Cluster Structure

5 GHz backhaul2.4 GHz access

In order to save up the backhaul and site rental costs, the A8n base stations can be interconnected via the 5 GHz backhaul, the central A8n acts as a master which can connect up to 4 A8n base stations, which act as slave. If each A8n provides an average local coverage area of 0.5 km2, then a cluster can provide a total coverage of 2.5 km2.

A8-Ein can be used for outdoor coverage instead of A8n in the following circumstances:

The maximum target coverage radius exceeds that of the A8n or the coverage areas are in long sector shape, e.g. along a street, airbase coverage, long range wireless DSL. Refer to Figure 5 and 6 for the maximum distances of A8n and A8-Ein. Coverage to a remote discrete area separated by highway or sea at distant away exceed that of A8n, e.g. island, offshore oil refining telemetry, coverage for tourist boats at middle of a lake Higher link budget is desired where higher received signal strength is necessary, e.g. indoor penetration, support VoIP Building new wired Internet outlet and new site is very expensive, and larger site coverage area at the same user capacity than that of A8n is desired, e.g. rural residential area with large footprint and low population density Existing 3G or other cellular sites can be used for WiFi base station co-location, where the coverage radius of WiFi base station is large as possible to match with that of 3G base station coverage

The coverage patterns of A8n versus A8-Ein can be seen below:

Figure 5: A8n, A8in and A8-Ein Coverage Comparison

The corresponding coverage capability of A8-Ein is shown in Figure 6 below.

Figure 6: A8-Ein Coverage Distance and Area

EnvironmentCoverage Radius (r)A8-Ein Coverage Area (2.6r2/3)Site Coverage Area (2.6r2/3)No. of A8-Ein/ km2

Sub-urban (NLOS)500 m0.2 km20.6 km25

Urban (NLOS)350 m0.1 km20.3 km210

As a comparison, the cellular architectural patterns for a large area city-wide coverage are shown in the Figure 7 below. Since one set of A8-Ein has a horizontal beamwidth of 80 (16 dBi) to 100 (11 dBi, same as -3dBi antenna gain of A8n), three sets of A8-Ein are used at each site for omni coverage. In practice, more A8-Ein can be co-located at one site if higher throughput or user capacity is desired.

If we compare the coverage area of a site, we can see that the A8-Ein can provide 3 times in open area to 2.4 times in dense-urban area as compares to A8n.

A8in can be used for outdoor coverage instead of A8n in the following circumstances:

Omni coverage (the integrated antennas of A8in are fixed in orientation for omni coverage) Individual antenna down-tilt is not necessary (the integrated antennas have 5.5 fixed down-tilt) Installation height is around 5 to 12 m (the higher the installation, the longer the target range, but the poorer the near end coverage) Target range is from near end to maximum of 150 to 200 m Pole or wall-mounting is possible It is desirable to hide the antennas

The relationship between installation height and target range can be seen from Figure 8.

4.2 Backhaul Architecture

The A2 will be used for point-to-point (PTP) wireless bridge which connects an A8n to a remote wired Internet outlet. The wireless bridge can be formed by either a pair of A2 (802.11a/n possible) or by an A2 and A8ns 11a/n radio as shown in Figure 9 below.

Each A2 bridge has built-in 16 dBi flat panel antenna and supports 802.11a/n standards. When it operates at 802.11a, it supports a throughput of up to 25 Mbps and when operates at 11n up to 120 Mbps.

Two pairs of A2 can also be coupled together in back-to-back manner if the target distance is more than one A2 to A2 hop. Alternatively, A2e or B5 can be used for long range backhauling.

Figure 9: A2 WiFi Bridge Configuration

A2-A8n backhaulA2-A2 backhaulEthernet SwitchMultiple hops for extended distanceA8n- 11a/n radio11a/n, LOS11a/n, LOS

Multiple A2-A8n PTP pairs can be grouped together to form an A8n cluster as shown in Figure 10 below. In the figure below, three dedicated 802.11a/n paths are formed with total throughput of 3 x 120 Mbps available.

Figure 10: Multiple A2-A8n Bridge Pairs Configuration

Wired Internet outletMaster A8Slave A8A2 WiFi bridges

However, if smaller throughput is enough, the three dedicated A2s at the master site can be replaced by the 11a/n backhaul radio of A8n equipped with a 9 dBi external omni antenna, forming PTMP connection as shown in Figure 11 below. The master A8n can provide up to 160 Mbps aggregated throughput for the three slave A8n.

In areas where Internet outlet is very expensive to build, several master sites can be further aggregated together using pairs of A2 to be connected to a larger wired Internet outlet. In this way, a 2-tier backhaul structure is formed.

The distances between various combination of A2 and A8n, using different panel or omni antennas can be seen in Figure 12 below. The actual distances may be less than these values depending on the actual environment such as LOS clearance and interference conditions.

The throughput capability of the bridge pairs will change with the distances apart. The longer the distance, the lower will be the throughput. Figure 13 below shows the distances support for various throughput requirements. These figures are for reference only, which may vary according to actual environment and conditions.

4.3 Coverage, Throughput and Capacity Enhancement

In between A8n there may exist some blind spot areas that cannot receive any signal from A8n. It is more cost effective to use smaller A2 WiFi access point to cover these blind spots. In NLOS environment, where A8n cannot be seen from the blind spot area, the A2 can be set at Repeater mode as shown in Figure 16 below. In this case, it receives signal from A8n, boosts it up and repeats it to nearby areas. The signal strength can be boosted up by 4 to 12 dB depends on which device and antenna is used.

Figure 16: Coverage and Capacity Enhancement in NLOS Environments

A8nA2(Repeatermode)11b/g/n, NLOS

The user capacity can be increased at the same time because each A2 can support extra 256 concurrent users. Please note that the total throughput drawn from A8n will be increased because the signal strength can be increased allowing them to transmit at higher data rate. However, the total access throughput from A8 will still be limited by the wireless interface of A8n up to 160 Mbps.

When LOS conditions can be provided, the A2 can be set at AP mode, as shown in Figure 17. This allows direct wireless backhaul connection to A8ns 11a/n radio, and provides additional throughput of up to 120 Mbps. Access throughput will be provided by using independent 11b/g/n radio and thus a higher throughput and user capacity can be attained.

Figure 17: Coverage and Capacity Enhancement in LOS Environments

A8n- 11a/nA2(AP mode)11a/n, LOS

The coverage, throughput and capacity of A8n, A2 and C1n are shown in Figure 18. Appropriate equipment can be chosen according to the requirements.

* Either uplink or downlink is limited to 100 Mbps. Future release will support up to 160 Mbps.

4.4 Indoor Coverage

There are two methods of indoor coverage.

The first is outdoor to indoor wireless method, the outdoor is covered by A8n and the signals are extended to indoor using the Altai C1n Super WiFi CPE or Altai U1 USB Client. There are a few arrangements possible as shown in Figure 19 below.

The C1n Super WiFi CPE will receive signal from A8n and convert to standard Ethernet outlet for desktop/laptop connection. This is the standard wireless DSL application. Fixed broadband service is offered to home users using wireless local loop method. When indoor wireless coverage is required, another C1n can be connected in back-to-back manner and the second C1n is best to set at different frequency channel to minimize the interference to the A8n. The C1n CPE is outdoor weather proof and therefore can be installed at the rooftop and can be shared for a few users inside the building. Independent billing is possible with the WDS function enabled. Alternatively, an Altai U1 USB client can be used if it can be connected to the client device via an USB cable e.g. a laptop.

Figure 19: Outdoor to Indoor Coverage Using C1n CPE

A8n/ A8-Ein/ A8inC1n CPEC1n APInternetC1n CPESet the C1n AP at different channels for the best performance by minimizing interference to A8C1n/U1 CPE

Outdoor to indoor coverage method is recommended to use as the first priority whenever possible. This is more cost effective and time saving especially for large area low user density situation, where laying fibers are cost prohibitive.

The coverage distances of A8n/A8-Ein/A8in can be extended substantially with the use of C1n or U1 CPE. Figure 20 below shows the estimated distances.

Sub-urban (NLOS)800 m1.2 km800 m1 km

Urban (NLOS)600 m800 m500 m700 m

The second method of indoor coverage is wired method as shown in Figure 21 below. This method is complement to the outdoor to indoor method. When discrete buildings are not covered by A8 or when wired Internet outlet is already available, or when the interior areas are large enough, then indoor wired method can be used. Both the A2 and C1n can be used as indoor AP. The A2 is for standard omni or sector coverage. The C1n is for directional coverage, but if omni coverage is required, a few sets of C1n can be used. A8n can be used for indoor coverage if there is a huge hollow area inside a building, such as shopping mall or hotel.

Figure 21: Indoor Coverage Using APs

4.5 Service Controller

Depending on the business model of a WiFi network, but for a commercial city-wide network operated by a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP), they most probably would like to limit the bandwidth per user to avoid one particular user to dominate most of the available bandwidth. The service controller offered by Altai will not only provide feature of QoS/ bandwidth control, but also user authentication and billing support.

The controller has a built-in captive portal (HTML-based login page) user database for user authentication. It can also redirect the users to various third party portals, AAA server or DHCP server as well, depending on which base station and SSID the user associated to. Users can login via captive portal or MAC address authentication. Different authentication methods can be assigned to different SSID/VLAN.

Session records including the usage time and traffic volume are maintained in the service controller for accounting/billing purpose. Per user RADIUS attributes for billing support include maximum time a session can be active for session timeout, maximum session idle time, session time, number of octets/bytes sent/received or number of packets sent/received. The session records can be exported to the billing server for further processing.

Bandwidth can be assigned on user, SSID or VLAN basis. The traffic can be differentiated based on VLAN, MAC address, user name and password etc. The QoS/bandwidth management policy can be implemented by controlling the bandwidth of a user session, the transmit/receive data rate or upload/download limit for a user session.

There are 2 models for the controller, namely Service Controller 200 and 7000, controls up to 100 and 1000 clients respectively. The service controller is to be connected behind the base station and in front of the firewall.

Figure 22: Service Controller 200 (Left) and 7000 (Right)

As each service controller will only serve up to 1,000 concurrent wireless clients. When the user space is growing it is recommended to expand the network by installing more service controllers in a regional network. If the network is ever growing, it is recommended to expand the network by installing more regional networks. To manage multiple-regional network, a centralized AWMS CCS server will be placed at backend layer, which manage the whole network through multiple AWMS Proxy servers located inside each regional network.

Each regional network requires one AWMS proxy server, which can manager up to 200 network elements. Up to 20 proxy servers can be managed by one AWMS CCS server, which can support up to 500 network elements for the whole network, and can be expandable to 2,000 network elements in future release.

All service controllers, APs and AWMS CCS server and AWMS proxy servers are under management VLAN. The connection diagram for both a single service controller system and multiple service controllers system is shown below.

5. Proposed Solution

5.1 Introduction

In a city-wide network, there are in general five types of cost element:

Equipment Cost (Hardware and maintenance) Engineering Cost (Site planning, site survey, equipment installation and site construction) Site Cost (Site acquisition, rental and electricity) Backhaul Cost (Internet backbone setup and rental) Operation Cost (Network management systems, customer and organizational supports)

This section is to estimate the quantity of access and backhaul equipment required building up a city-wide WiFi network in the areas as requested by the customer, and at the same time to give indication on the network capacity it can support and the number of wired Internet outlets required so that the quantity for the other costs elements can be estimated. This proposal will only present the technical information, the quotation for the Altai product will be submitted separately. While Altai as a vendor will only provide the WiFi equipment, network management software and service controller, our channel partners/ system integrators will provide all the other elements and supporting services.

This section is written based on the following assumptions:

The areas to be covered can be roughly divided into 2 types of environment, namely suburban area and urban area, with each type of environment contains uniform distribution of buildings and road structure as defined hereafter. Users are uniformly distributed in the target coverage areas. The environment is almost free from radio interference. In much interference environment, both data throughput and coverage distance will be lowered than expected. Line-of-Sight (LOS) environment is available between wireless backhaul equipment. The coverage requirements are mainly for outdoor areas. Indoor coverage be can extended from outdoor by using Altai C1n CPE or Altai U1 USB Client, the quantity of which varies a lot depending on building structure and therefore it can only be estimated by the customer itself. The application of the city-wide WiFi network is mainly for data uses, including Web browsing, e-mail, video streaming, Internet gaming, PDA, game console etc. The network can support more applications such as video surveillance and VoIP etc., but the capacity calculations have to be changed. Service controllers are installed to limit the maximum throughput for each user. The users are nomadic in nature. If the services are mainly for residential or commercial wireless DSL uses, the calculations have to be changed.

5.2 Coverage Environment

Since the exact area to be covered is unknown, it is assumed that the environment and area of interest is similar to Figure 24 below.

According to the map, we can separate the environment into 2 categories, namely suburban area and urban area.

Figure 24: Map of the city

(1) Suburban area it is a residential area. Buildings are mainly made of wood with average heights of 1 or 2 floors (~8 m). The width of road/ street is approximately 20 m. Typical views of rural area are shown in Figure 25.

Figure 25: Typical Suburban Environment

(2) Urban area it is a commercial area. The building heights range from 5 floors to over 30 floors. Buildings are made of concrete materials with large building blocks. The width of the roads or streets is narrow. Radio signal have more difficulty propagating and penetrating across the roads. Typical views of urban area are shown in Figure 26.

Figure 26: Typical Urban Environment

5.3 Coverage Area and Quantity Required

In this section, we are going to estimate the number of A8n Super WiFi Base Station required for providing WiFi coverage in that area. The area to be covered is shown in Figure 24.

(1) Area to be covered is 2 x 2 km = 4 km2

Since the details about the environment and site situation in the city are not available, we assumed:

(2) Percentage of suburban area = 90%

(3) Percentage of urban area = 10%

Then the sizes of the areas are:

(4) Area of suburban area = 4 km2 x 90% = 3.6 km2

(5) Area of urban area = 4 km2 x 10% = 0.4 km2

Refer to Figure 3, the cell radius of A8n base station is about 350 m in suburban area to provide reasonable coverage for data applications such as email, Web browsing. On the other hand, in urban area, close buildings creates larger path loss and hence cell radius in such area is assumed to be 250 m.

In suburban area, we assumed cell radius of A8n to be 0.35 km, therefore,

(6) Coverage per A8n in suburban area = 0.25 km2

In urban area, we assumed cell radius of A8n to be 0.25 km, therefore,

(7) Coverage per A8n in urban area = 0.125 km2Since the NLOS coverage distance of A8n will vary greatly depending on the actual NLOS conditions. Therefore, the value can be changed according to the actual field test results to be done by your system integrator. This quantity of equipment will be revised accordingly.

From the results of (6) and (7):

(8) Expected number of A8n for suburban area = Area of suburban area / Coverage per A8n in suburban area= 3.6 km2 / 0.25 km2 = 14 sets(round-up)

(9) Expected number of A8n for urban area= Area of urban area / Coverage per A8n in urban area= 0.4 km2 / 0.125 km2 = 3 sets(round-up)

Consequently,

(10) Total number of A8n= 14 sets + 3 sets = 17 sets(round-up)

(11) Total number of RF cable= Number of RF cable per A8n x Total number of A8n = 8 pcs x 17 sets = 136 pcs

In practice, it may not be easy to acquire the exact and desired location according to the plan and that it requires certain overlapping between 2 adjacent base stations, the network operator may need to acquire and install more sites to provide coverage than planned. Therefore the network operator is advised to add a certain percentage of margins on top of the above A8n quantity.

5.4 Backhaul Throughput

In this section, we are going to estimate the throughput requirement under each A8n in the interested area.

It is assumed that most of the users are running data applications such as web browsing and email. It requires data throughput of 1 Mbps per user.

(1) Throughput per user = 1 Mbps

The number of concurrent users under each A8n will be different. In general, there will be lesser users in suburban areas and more users in urban areas. We assume

(2) No. of concurrent users per A8n in suburban areas = 100 concurrent users

(3) No. of concurrent users per A8n in urban areas = 200 concurrent users

When a user is using applications, he/she does not occupy all the time to download/upload data. The data transfer pattern should like a loop of this behavior: data is downloaded and then he/she spends some time to utilities or read the content. Hence, it is assumed the user will perform data transfer (i.e. download/upload) during 5% of the time, and he/she will be idle for the rest.

When a group of users are sharing an Internet line, since not all of them will perform data transfer at exactly the same time, the line can be shared by a number of users as if each one is using the line by his/her own without apparent degrade in bandwidth. The number of users that can share in this way is called the Share Ratio. For example, a share ratio of 25 means that an Internet line with 2 Mbps throughput can be shared by 25 concurrent users each of whom still feels to have 2 Mbps throughput during a period of time.

The share ratio can vary from 10 to 30 for normal Internet browsing application. The higher the traffic required, the lower the share ratio. A share ratio of 25 can be used for general city-wide WiFi application. For users that require higher traffic, such as those in universities or offices, a share ratio of 15 to 20 can be used. On the other hand, for real time application such as video surveillance and VoIP application, since the video signal or voice content are real time continuous signals, the share ratio will be 1.

In this project, we assume

(4) Share ratio = 25

Therefore,

(5) Backhaul throughput per A8n in suburban areas = No. of concurrent users per A8n x Throughput per user / Share ratio= 100 concurrent users x 1 Mbps / 25= 4 Mbps

(6) Backhaul throughput per A8n in urban areas = No. of concurrent users per A8n x Throughput per user / Share ratio= 200 concurrent users x 1 Mbps / 25= 8 Mbps

Since not all the sites are equipped with wired Internet outlet, in order to save the cost in laying wired Internet line to each site, we use wireless backhaul links to group a number of A8n sites into a cluster before connecting to a wired Internet outlet.

Referring to Figure 27, a 5 GHz wireless backhaul link can be formed by connecting one A2 WiFi bridge to the A8ns 802.11a/n backhaul radio. The site that has connection to the wired Internet outlet is called master site, while the other sites that wirelessly connected to the master site are called slave site. The master and slave sites that are grouped together to share one wired Internet outlet is called cluster.

Figure 27: A8n Cluster Structure for Urban Coverage

Wired Internet outletMaster A8nSlave A8nA2 WiFi bridges

When we group together a number of sites into a cluster, we need to check if the bandwidth of the aggregated wired Internet outlet is available. For example, if we group 3 slave sites into a master site (totally 4 sites in one cluster), and if each site requires 8 Mbps throughput, then the aggregated wired Internet outlet throughput will require 32 Mbps. We need to check if 32 Mbps Internet line or above is available from local ISP.

In this proposal, we assume 32 Mbps Internet outlet is available, then,

(1) Throughput of Internet outlet in suburban areas = Backhaul throughput of A8n in suburban areas x Number of A8n per cluster = 4 Mbps x 4 sets = 16 Mbps

(2) Throughput of Internet outlet in urban areas = Backhaul throughput of A8n in urban areas x Number of A8n per cluster = 8 Mbps x 4 sets = 32 Mbps

From Figure 13, we can check out that:

(3) Maximum distance of A8n-A2 backhaul in suburban area with 4 Mbps throughput= 9 km

(4) Maximum distance of A8n-A2 backhaul in urban area with 8 Mbps throughput= 7 km

Longer range can be supported if A2e is used. In this case 12 km and 9 km can be supported for suburban and urban areas respectively. If for even longer distance, a pair of A2 or A2e can be used. In this case, the distances can be supported up to 24 and 18 km respectively if a pair of A2e is used.

That means the slave sites need not to be nearby the master site, we can group together slave sites at some distance away by using appropriate pair of wireless bridges such as A2, A2e, B5L or B5.

When a number of slave sites are to be grouped into a master site, the A2 bridges at the master sites will be installed as far away as possible in order that the interference between the A2s can be minimized. In practice, different A2s will be installed at different corners of a building rooftop for maximum separation. If even more A2s are required, several A2s may be required to be installed at one mounting pole. In this case, we reserve a minimum vertical separation of 3 m in our design.

The number of A8n in a cluster will vary depending on the geometry of the coverage areas, in this proposal, we assume on average 4 A8n per cluster for both suburban areas and urban areas, i.e. the same as that shown in Figure 27. The number of clusters can be calculated as follows:

(5) Number of cluster in suburban areas = Number of A8n in suburban area / 4= 14 sets / 4 = 4 clusters(round up)

(6) Number of cluster in urban areas= Number of A8n in urban area / 4= 3 sets / 4 = 1 cluster(round up)

5.6 Backhaul Equipment

Each cluster will consist of 1 master site and 3 slave sites. In each master site, 1 A8n base station and 3 A2 WiFi bridge are to be installed, and all will be connected together to wired Internet outlet via an Ethernet switch. In each slave site, the A8n built-in backhaul radio with an external 20 dBi dual-polarized panel antenna to be connected by 2 RF cables will be equipped. So, there will be 4 A8n and 3 A2 per cluster. In the other words,

(1) The ratio of A2 to A8n = 3/4

(2) Number of A2 in suburban areas= Number of A8n in suburban area x 3/4= 14 sets x 3/4 = 11 sets(round up)

Number of external 5 GHz 20 dBi panel antenna at A8n = 11 setsNumber of RF cable = 22 pieces

(3) Number of A2 in urban areas= Number of A8n in urban area x 3/4= 3 x 3/4 = 2 sets(round up)

Number of external 5 GHz 20 dBi panel antenna at A8n = 2 setsNumber of RF cable = 4 pieces

(4) Total Number of A2 = 11 + 2 = 13 sets

Total number of external 5 GHz 20 dBi panel antenna= 11 + 2 = 13 sets

Total number of RF cable= 22 + 4 = 26 pieces

5.7 Concurrent User Capacity

In this section, we are going to estimate the number of concurrent users supported by the whole WiFi network in the interested area. The concurrent user capacity is the total number of users that are using the network at the same time. We assume that the users are evenly distributed over the whole network and are not congested to a certain district. Further, the throughput of each user will be controlled by Service controller to an upper limit of the service plan he/she subscribed such that no one user will eat up all the bandwidth under an A8n.

In this proposal,

(1) Total number of concurrent users = Backhaul throughput per A8n x No. of A8n x Share ratio / Throughput per user= 4 Mbps x 14 x 25 / 1 Mbps in suburban + 8 Mbps x 3 x 25 / 1 Mbps in urban= 1,400 + 600= 2,000 concurrent users

5.8 CPE Equipment

There are two types of CPE, namely Altai C1n Super WiFi CPE and Altai U1 USB Client, that can be used to extend the coverage and to boost up the throughput under the A8n. The C1n is used mainly for fixed locations such as residential household and hotspot where the locations are far from an A8n. The U1 is used mainly for nomadic users carrying a laptop.

In this proposal, we assume the outermost 25% of concurrent users from A8n require C1n for signal improvement, and that 10% of concurrent users require U1,

(1) Total number of C1n = 1,400 x 25% (suburban) + 600 x 25% (urban)= 350 + 150= 500 sets

(2) Total number of U1= 1,400 x 10% (suburban) + 600 x 10% (urban)= 140 + 60= 200 sets

5.9 Subscriber Capacity

Not all the subscribers who registered the service will turn on their notebook/computer/PDA and login to the network at the same time, on the same day and under the same base station. A concentration ratio can be used to oversell the network capacity. This oversell ratio varies with the nature of application, the type of users and the network size. The ratio will be higher for short-duration applications such as voice and lower for long-duration applications such as file transfer. It will be higher for city-wide WiFi application because the average duration they use will be shorter and lower for residential broadband application because the average time they stay in use will be longer. It will be higher for large scale network from statistical point of view and lower for startup network with just several base stations. The oversell ratio can range from 1 to 4 times in common practice. Oversell ratio of 1 means all users subscribed will be using the network at the same time. For those residential users that have C1n installed, we may use oversell ratio of 1 because they shall always switch on a C1n no matter they are using it or not. In that case, even if a C1n has no traffic, it will associate an A8n and will be counted as 1 out of the total 256 users.

In this proposal, we assume

(1) Oversell ratio for C1n user = 1

(2) Oversell ratio for other users = 4(3) Total number of subscriber = Total number of concurrent users x Oversell ratio= 350 x 1 + (1,400 350) x 4 (suburban) + 150 x 1 + (600 150) x 4 (urban)= 4,550 + 1,950= 6,500 subscribers

5.10 Service Controller

From Figure 23, we can see that the Service Controller must be put behind A8 and before Internet outlet; this means each cluster requires Service Controller of appropriate size according to the number of simultaneous users the cluster supports.

(1) Number of concurrent users in a cluster in suburban areas= Number of concurrent users per A8n x Number of A8n per cluster= 100 x 4 = 400 concurrent users

(2) Number of concurrent users in a cluster in urban areas= Number of concurrent users per A8n x Number of A8n per cluster= 200 x 4 = 800 concurrent users

From section 4.5, we can see that Service Controller 200 can only support up to 100 concurrent users, and Service Controller 7000 can support up to 1,000 concurrent users, therefore the appropriate model is Service Controller 7000 for both areas.

(3) Number of Service Controller in suburban areas= Number of cluster = 4 sets of Service Controller 7000(round up)

(4) Number of Service Controller in urban areas= Number of cluster = 1 set of Service Controller 7000(round up)

(5) Total number of Service Controller= 4 + 1 = 5 sets of Service Controller 7000

Costs are classified into one-time cost (CAPEX) and recurring cost (OPEX). The recurring costs are indicated in number of period in the table. We assumed the investment takes 2 years and the corresponding quantity of each item is shown below:

Figure 30: Summary of Project Requirement

6. Feature Description and User Benefit

6.1 Super Long Range and Large Coverage

With the use of Multiple Radios and patented Smart Antenna Technology in Altai A8n WiFi base station, extra antenna array gain, diversity gain and special gain from signal processing technique can be attained, thus pushing up link budget in both uplink and downlink for long range coverage. Yet, the transmit power is small (5 to 24 dBm) to match with the low powered terminals such as PDA and smart phone and tablet in the uplink, the symmetrical up and downlink design is essential for good voice quality in VoIP application.

The user benefit: The A8n provides 3X the range, up to 500 m NLOS in rural areas and up to 1 km LOS in open areas The A8-Ein provides 5X the range, up to 800 m NLOS and 1.7 km LOS 10X the area coverage, 2 to 4 BTS/ km2 Minimum installation sites, 1/6 of traditional AP

6.2 High Throughput at Range

While all 802.11b/g/n WiFi radios follow the same trend of higher data rate at closer distance and lower data rate at longer distance, due to Altai A8n long range capability, the data rate and correspondingly the throughput capacity of A8n as measured at the same distance from the radio is much higher than standard 11n AP. The higher throughput capability allows Altai WiFi system to support a larger number of multi-media clients. The direct access coverage capability to user implies Negligible Link Latency makes real time traffic possible. The end-to-end QoS and WMM features ensure good voice quality at priority to high volume of data traffic such as ftp or video streaming. The 8x8:2 MIMIO Multi-path Signal Sampling technique can choose the best signal paths from and to the 2 best out of the 8 directions available, thus increasing the successful rate and reducing the number of retry; resulted in great improvement in effective throughput capacity, especially in complex NLOS environments.

The user benefit: 10 to 20X the data rate over standard 11b/g AP 2 to 4X the data rate at over standard 11n AP

6.3 High User Capacity

Another very important benefit of using multiple antennas with independent, coordinated radios is to minimize the harmful effects due to packet collisions from hidden nodes, as explained in figure below. Packet collisions from hidden nodes happen very often in NLOS environments. For instance, when two hidden clients send signals to an A8 at the same time but from different directions, the A8n can receive both signals using multiple antennas and radios, and therefore both signals can be processed without collision. In this way, the lost packets and transmission retries are substantially minimized, meaning more time slots are reserved for other clients or additional packets. This is a key reason why the A8n can handle two to four times the user capacity of a standard AP, or even of multiple standard APs collocated but not operating in a coordinated manner at the baseband and physical RF layer. Each A8n typically supports 100 concurrent users and up to a maximum of 256 users. The user benefit: 4 X the user capacity Typically 100 concurrent users Maximum 256 users Up to 300 Mbps data rate in both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands Up to 160 Mbps throughput

6.4 Superior Interference Mitigation

There are two factors that lead the A8n/A8-Ein to provide much better interference mitigation as compared to a single antenna standard AP. Firstly, the A8n platform has been designed from the beginning to be located outdoor among other high power radio systems, such as GSM, 3G, PHS etc. It has multiple high quality RF filters on each receive (Rx) & Tx path. It has been extensively tested and proven to work efficiently in high interference and dense-urban areas, with different kinds of cellular systems operating nearby, even within a few meters. The A8n has been collocated with PHS systems, 3G, GSM and CDMA systems without having any degradation in performance. Also, the A8n is designed to ensure it does not create any harmful interference to those systems even when collocated on the same tower or rooftop.

Secondly, due to the multi-antenna and multi-radio coordinated architecture, even when one coverage sector may suffer from interference the other sectors will continue to operate normally. With a standard AP using a single antenna, any interference received to that AP will affect its entire coverage area.

The user benefit: High network throughput and stability in much interference urban areas Designed to meet 3G base station co-location for 3G data offload Save time in radio planning More choices of site and reduction in site

6.5 Better Network Throughput Optimization

The Altai AirFi technology is the latest advanced software control algorithm for network throughput optimization, whilst some classical AP bandwidth controllers control traffic at the Ethernet port, which cannot solve the low throughput issues caused by slow clients and continuously RF layer retries. The Altai AirFi uses a traffic shaping technique superior to other classical methods. Peak traffic that exceeds a pre-set throughput limit will be transmitted during later low traffic period there will be no packet loss, re-try or time-out as experienced with a classical method.

When AirFi is enabled, 3 times the client throughput and 2 times the average system throughput can be achieved. The improvement is most obvious where network degradation is due to low speed clients dragging down the overall system capacity.

The user benefit: 3X the peak client throughput 2X the average system throughput

6.6 Better Near-to-Far End Coverage

The use of multiple co-ordinate antennas in an array allows the A8n/A8-Ein system to have a much larger vertical beamwidth compared to a standard AP using a similar gain antenna as the A8n/A8-Ein. This is particularly the case with the A8-Ein. The larger vertical beamwidth allows the A8n/A8-Ein system to provide substantially more uniform coverage of the entire targeted cell area. This means the signal strength will not drop off as significantly when the vertical angle to the base station is large, as will happen with a standard AP. This allows higher data rates (stronger signal) between the user and the A8n and again improves the system capacity as compared to a standard AP.

The user benefit: 4X wider the vertical angle Substantial more uniform coverage area

6.7 Flexible Deployment

Each of the A8n antennas can be adjusted independently in different antenna orientations, down-tilt angles and antenna separation. That means each A8n can be deployed for different cell shapes and adopted for different site conditions.

The user benefit: Much simpler site planning Fast deployment in days or hours Any horizontal beamwidth coverage Improved throughput density by converged coverage Rooftop, pole, ceiling, wall mounting or special tube antenna for lamppost

6.8 Highly Cost Effective

With much lower quantity of base station per area, Altai WiFi solution can save your costs not only in hardware, but also in site rental, backhaul rental, site built-up, installation, maintenance and operation, resulting saving in total cost of ownership of as high as 65%! The user benefit: 65% saving in CAPEX and OPEX 85% reduction in number of sites Fast deployment is another form of cost saving

6.9 Better Link Performance

While traditional AP will boost up the transmit power in order to give higher downlink performance, the uplink side especially for most low-powered devices is relatively poor. Altai A8n employs low transmit power and high antenna gain design to give Symmetrical Uplink and Downlink performance, with much better uplink link budget (9 dB increase). This implies a much better receive capability for low-powered and uplink-required devices such as SIP phones, PDAs and game consoles. Further, Altai A8n uses Multi-path Signal Sampling technique which has the capability to choose the best signal from multiple signals received, provides superior reception power especially in complex NLOS environments.

The user benefit: Take care of low-powered terminals 8X the receive capability Higher number of user association Better throughput in both directions

6.10 Highly Resilient

The Backhaul Protection Switching feature makes Altai WiFi system the best choice for mission critical network such as those for container port and medical care. The Link Integrity mechanism will check for complete link integrity. In case a link is failed, the A8 will switch automatically to another backhaul link; and switch back when recovered; when all backhaul links failed, the system will force the users to associate to another healthy A8n covering the same area. This protection mechanism not only improves the resilience of the radio equipment, but also to the total network, the instability caused by Internet line and application server jam.

The user benefit: Complete backhaul protection Mission critical proof Improve network stability Saves downtime cost
