AB9800 PMP Technical Summary
1.0 Introduction
Point to Multipoint (PMP) technology offers operators cost advantages over alternatives
such as leased lines, needing less equipment and giving more options for managing
capacity and expansion.
With a PMP system, operators get a flexible and efficient transmission solution that will
help them cope with growing demand for high capacity and the ability to support a mix of
ATM, TDM, and Ethernet traffic. It will also give them the flexibility to expand the network
cost-effectively.
To increase transport efficiency, the PMP system offers features such as statistical
multiplexing gain, dynamic adaptive modulation and dynamic bandwidth allocation,
allowing operators to generate additional revenue with minor software updates to their
PMP network. Additional features for Ethernet applications include 4 types of QoS, VLAN
support, VLAN tagging / untagging, and the ability to terminate Ethernet traffic into the
core network as ATM, TDM, or keeping it in Ethernet frame format.
In summary, the Hughes AB9800 Point to Multipoint system is a scalable and effective
solution that allows operators to cut costs and expand their network cost-effectively.
In urban and dense urban area networks where the distance between BTS/Node-B is
relatively short (between 0.4 – 3 km), the high density of 2G/3G Hub Stations pose a
tremendous challenge for the transport network. PMP is well suited to meet the demand
for high capacity backhaul in urban areas and represents a more cost-effective solution
than leased lines and more economical than Point to Point radio link solutions.
The AB9800 PMP solution brings a high level of scalability, integration and interoperability
to 2G/3G cellular Hub Station access, giving lower operational costs and a more reliable
network. In addition, one of the key advantages of the AB9800 system is that it can be
The AB9800 System supports ATM, TDM, and Ethernet transport. Transporting ATM,
TDM and Ethernet traffic over the same backhaul network, using the same radio
equipment, cuts network complexity, allowing the operator to carry GSM traffic over TDM,
and UMTS traffic over either ATM or as TDM directly over SDH. For corporate
applications, metro Ethernet services or leased line E1 services can also be carried on the
same AB9800 platform (see Figure 2-1).

The Hub Station may have several sectors, and each sector consists of an AB9800 Hub
Terminal (HT). Each HT operates on its own RF channel and provides service to one or
more RTs on that channel. In the case of a multi-sector Hub Station, a combination ATM
concentration unit Hub Terminal (ACU-HT) can be used to concentrate the traffic from the
individual HTs to the transmission network. Using this built in ATM concentration
functionality means there is no need for an extra ATM switch. For a TDM backbone
network, an existing SDH Add-Drop-Multiplexer (ADM) can be connected directly to the
HTs with NxE1 interfaces. Figure 2-2 shows the system overview for the AB9800 PMP
system.

PMP HUB
STATION
Each PMP Hub Station connects several RTs to the transport network through the PMP
wireless links. The RTs provide the user interfaces of the PMP system, including E1-CES,
E1-TDM, E1-ATM, E1-IMA, E3-ATM, STM-1 ATM, and Ethernet interfaces, all of which
are supported with a full set of QoS levels. Customer traffic may include 2G, 3G, WiMax,
WiFi, metro Ethernet, leased line ATM or TDM, etc. The Hub Station supports three
modes, TDM, ATM and IP and can migrate from one mode to another without requiring an
equipment upgrade to the HTs. In fact, the HTs can support several modes at the same
time.
The RTs are connected to the Hub Station through the air interface. The AB9800 system
supports an air interface with three modulation options, QPSK, 16-QAM, and 64-QAM on
the same carrier on a burst-by-burst basis. The Hub Stations are connected to the central
office by a transport network that can be TDM, ATM, or Ethernet based, with an
EMS/NMS residing at the central office to manage the entire network.

Hub Station (see chapter 3 for more detailed discussion of hub station configurations).

two STM-1 network interfaces. See Figure 2-5 below for a photo of the HT-ACU IDU (the
eight blue connectors are all STM-1o ports).
Figure 2-7 shows various configurations of the IDU available for use at the RT.
The AB9800 EMS also features an integrated SNMP agent which allows the EMS to
connect to a higher level OSS as shown in Figure 2-10. At present the north-bound agent
has been implemented and available for use.
The EMS has truly advanced connectivity options to the PMP Hub Stations. Either in-
band (on the ATM interface) or out of band (Ethernet, ATM, or TDM) connectivity can be
implemented as shown in Figure 2-11.
3.1 AB9800 PMP Hub Station With ATM Connectivity to the Core Network
When the core network is ATM based, the AB9800 simplifies connectivity with the use of
the ACU-HT. As an example, consider a PMP Hub Station with four sectors and 1:1
redundancy. Three sectors will be served by a normal HT while the fourth sector uses an
ACU-HT. The ACU-HT will concentrate the ATM traffic from the three primary sectors as
well as its own sector and output the total traffic on up to 2 STM-1 interfaces to the core
network. The same configuration is duplicated for the backup sectors (3 normal HTs and
one ACU-HT). A block diagram example of a 4-sector redundant Hub Station is shown in
Figure 3-1.
The key to the carrier-class HT redundancy is the ability of the backup HT to monitor and
test the entire transmit and receive path of the backup radio with the RTs of each of the
primary HTs in its redundancy group, while the backup HT is offline. The backup HT
transmitter is tested by transmitting a test burst in a special timeslot that is left idle by the
primary HT. The RTs listen for this test burst and compare its signal strength and signal
quality to the primary HT’s transmissions. The backup must send the test burst in the
correct timeslot and alignment to the primary HT. The timing alignment is achieved
through a redundancy bus between the Primary and backup HTs.
This testing of the backup equipment provides a high level of confidence that a successful
switchover will occur. It also minimizes the disruption to services caused by switchover as
it eliminates the need for the RTs to perform re-acquisition and time synchronization with
the backup HT. Failure of the background test done by the backup HT sends an alarm to
the EMS so that the operator can take action.
3.2 AB9800 PMP Hub Station With TDM Connectivity to the Core Network
Figure 3-2 shows a 4-sector AB9800 Hub Station with 1+1 redundancy that connects to a
TDM core network. The E1s from the HTs are aggregated by the SDH add / drop
multiplexer for transport onto the core network. One of the E1 lines from the Primary HT
#1 is used for the network management connectivity.

Dynamic bandwidth allocation allows the sharing of air bandwidth resources across a PMP
sector so that capacity can be assigned to RTs as they request additional bandwidth. The
DBA capability is especially important for mobile operators as they start deploying HSDPA
and HSUPA in their 3G networks. DBA can allocate additional capacity in each direction
as needed by the 3G base station. As implemented in the AB9800 PMP system, DBA
ensures that there is a minimum capacity available for each service and when peak
demands occur, the DBA feature will allocate additional unused capacity to RTs in real
time (see Figure 4-2).

Based on deployed PMP network cases, it could be assumed that 25 percent of all PMP
links in a dense urban network will be planned with a link budget using 16-QAM
