MIMO User Guide 1 MIMO Solution Overview
1 MIMO Solution Overview
This section describes the MIMO solution and its core values.
MIMO, short for Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output, is a microwave technology
in which multiple antennas are used at both the transmit and the receive ends to
transmit and receive signals, respectively. NxM MIMO indicates N channels of
output signals and M channels of input signals.
In the MIMO solution, the transmit end maps the data signal to be sent to
multiple antennas through space-time mapping before transmitting it. The receive
end recovers the data signal by performing space-time decoding on the signal that
is received by each antenna.
The MIMO solution supports two antenna installation modes: vertical separation
and horizontal separation. Vertical separation, as shown in Figure 1-1, is
recommended. Use horizontal separation if vertical separation is not allowed due
to limited space or if the pole is not high enough.
Figure 1-1 MIMO solution (vertical separation)
The MIMO solution uses spatial multiplexing to improve system's transmission

rate. Spatial multiplexing divides data to be transmitted into multiple data streams
which then are transmitted from different antennas.
Leveraging MIMO makes space a resource for improving communication
performance, and enables a wireless system to extend its coverage range. The
MIMO solution provides the following benefits:

MIMO User Guide 1 MIMO Solution Overview
● Improved spectrum usage

With the same bandwidth, two or four channels can operate at one frequency,
doubling spectrum usage.
● Enhanced channel reliability
Under the same antenna transmit power, signals from different paths are
combined at the receive end to generate gains and eliminate interference,
improving channel reliability.

MIMO User Guide 2 Feature Description
2 Feature Description
MIMO is a technology that uses one frequency on multiple microwave links. It

improves the service capacity over the air interface and the spectrum usage.
2.1 Principles
This section describes the basic principles of the MIMO feature.
2.2 System Configuration
Generally, a microwave site uses 4x4 MIMO to provide four microwave links in one
direction. RTN NEs support 4x4 MIMO when equipped with the ISM6/ISM8 board.
2.3 Specifications
This section describes the MIMO specifications that the RTN 900 supports.
2.4 Availability
This section describes the devices and boards that support the MIMO feature.
2.5 Feature Updates
This section provides a history of MIMO updates.
2.6 Feature Dependencies and Limitations
This section describes the dependencies and limitations of the MIMO feature.
2.7 RF Specifications
This section lists the RF specifications of the MIMO feature, including air interface
capacity and receiver sensitivity.
2.1 Principles
This section describes the basic principles of the MIMO feature.
In a wireless communication system, a conventional MIMO technology requires

that each row and each column of a channel matrix are completely independent.
This means that a communication system can achieve its optimal performance
only when each signal channel is completely independent.
In a point-to-point microwave communication system, line of sight (LOS) MIMO is

used, as shown in Figure 2-1. According to the basic principles of LOS MIMO,
when the distance between antennas at the same site is equal to the Rayleigh
distance, the MIMO solution can provide the best interference cancellation effect

for the four channels of signals to maximize the microwave transmission

performance.
The formula for calculating the Rayleigh distance is as follows:
(d, in unit of m, indicates the installation distance between

antennas at the same site. D, in unit of m, indicates the transmission distance. c, in
unit of m/s, indicates the speed of light. f, in unit of Hz, indicates the working
frequency.)
Figure 2-1 MIMO principles (ISM6+XMC-3 ODU scenario used as an example)
2.2 System Configuration

Generally, a microwave site uses 4x4 MIMO to provide four microwave links in one
direction. RTN NEs support 4x4 MIMO when equipped with the ISM6/ISM8 board.
System Configuration for 4x4 MIMO (ISM6+XMC-3 ODU)

When the ISM6 board is used, two ISM6 boards, four XMC-3 ODUs, and two dual-
polarized antennas are required for deploying 4x4 MIMO. This section uses the
RTN 950 as an example to describe the typical configuration for 4x4 MIMO.

NOTE
● The two IF boards at the same site must be installed in paired slots.
● The ports with the same port ID on the two IF boards at the same site must have the
same polarization direction. For example, if the polarization direction is set to H1 for
port 1 and V1 for port 2 on one IF board, the polarization direction must be set to H2
for port 1 and V2 for port 2 on the other IF board.
Figure 2-2 Typical configuration for 4x4 MIMO (direct mounting)
Figure 2-3 Typical configuration for 4x4 MIMO (separate mounting)

System Configuration for 4x4 MIMO (ISM8+XMC-5D ODU)

When the ISM8 board is used, two ISM8 boards, two XMC-5D ODUs, and two
dual-polarized antennas are required for deploying 4x4 MIMO. This section uses
the RTN 950 as an example to describe the typical configuration for 4x4 MIMO.
NOTE
● The two IF boards at the same site must be installed in paired slots.
● The ports with the same port ID on the two IF boards at the same site must have the
same polarization direction. For example, if the polarization direction is set to H1 for
port 1 and V1 for port 2 on one IF board, the polarization direction must be set to H2
for port 1 and V2 for port 2 on the other IF board.

2.6 Feature Dependencies and Limitations

This section describes the dependencies and limitations of the MIMO feature.
Self-limitations
Table 2-3 Self-limitations

Item Description
IF board ● The two IF boards at the same site for 4x4 MIMO
must be configured in paired slots.
● The corresponding ports on the two IF boards at the
same site for 4x4 MIMO must have consistent
polarization direction configurations. For example,
when slots 3 and 5 are used to configure MIMO, the
same polarization direction must be configured for
3-ISM8-IF1 and 5-ISM8-IF1, and the same
polarization direction must be configured for 3-
ISM8-IF2 and 5-ISM8-IF2.
● When MIMO is configured in the ISM8+XMC-5D
ODU scenario, the NEs at both ends must work in
the same IF multiplexing mode.
Port Before MIMO is configured, the IF ports must be

enabled.
Loopback After MIMO is configured, the NEs do not support

loopback.
IF running mode ● Only the IS6 mode is supported when the ISM6
board is used.
● Only the IS8 mode is supported when the ISM8
board is used.
ODU transmit power When AM is enabled, the ODU transmit power must be
less than or equal to that allowed by the full capacity
modulation scheme.
MIMO configuration IF boards and ODUs cannot be configured as required.

Currently, only ISM6+XMC-3 ODU and ISM8+XMC-5D
ODU configurations are supported.
MIMO deployment The Tx high site and the Tx low site must adopt the
same installation mode (vertical separation or
horizontal separation).

Dependencies and Limitations Between MIMO and Other Features
Table 2-4 Dependencies and limitations between MIMO and other features
Feature Description
AM MIMO can be coupled with AM, but does not support

transmit power rollback.
NOTE
When MIMO is used with AM, the transmit power configured
for microwave links must not exceed the ODU maximum rated
power allowed by the guaranteed capacity modulation
scheme.
Fade margin test Fade margin tests are not supported.
Features That Conflict with MIMO

The MIMO feature is mutually exclusive with the following features:
● ATPC
● XPIC
● 1+1 protection
● N+1 protection

NOTE
● The throughput specifications listed in the tables are based on the following conditions:
● Without frame header compression: untagged Ethernet frames with a length
● With L2 frame header compression: untagged Ethernet frames with a length
● With L2+L3 frame header compression (IPv4): UDP packets, C-tagged Ethernet
● With L2+L3 frame header compression (IPv6): UDP packets, S-tagged Ethernet
● E1/STM-1 services occupy the bandwidth over the air interface prior to Ethernet
services, and only the remaining bandwidth can be provided for Ethernet services.
● The throughput specifications indicate the single-link performance in 1+0 networking.

MIMO User Guide 3 Deployment Guide
3 Deployment Guide
This section describes how to configure and commission MIMO.

Adhere to the following rules when you plan the MIMO solution.
● Vertical separation and horizontal separation can be used for installing
antennas to deploy MIMO. Use horizontal separation if vertical separation is
not allowed due to limited space or if the pole is not high enough.
● Dual-polarized antennas must be used to deploy MIMO.
● The distance between antennas must be 0.6 to 1.2 times the Rayleigh
distance in the ISM6+XMC-3 ODU scenario. The distance between antennas
must be 0.33 to 1.2 times the Rayleigh distance in the ISM8+XMC-5D ODU
scenario. A distance 0.9 to 1.05 times the Rayleigh distance is optimal and a
distance 1.0 time the Rayleigh distance is recommended.
NOTE
It is recommended that the installation distance between antennas at the same site be
0.7 to 1.2 times the Rayleigh distance.
● The maximum transmission distance of microwave links is 7 km in the
ISM6+XMC-3 ODU scenario. The maximum transmission distance of
microwave links is 8.5 km in the ISM8+XMC-5D ODU scenario.
● QPSK is recommended as the guaranteed capacity modulation scheme.
● The length difference between IF cables at the same site must be less than 2
m.
● The main factors that affect transmission performance include internal factors
and external factors. The internal factors include the frequency, site
transmission distance, and antenna distance. The external factors include
terrain and multipath effect. Avoid using MIMO for cross-water surface
transmission if possible.
3.1 Commissioning for Site Deployment
The purpose of site commissioning is to establish MIMO links and ensure that the
XPI value of each link is adjusted to be within the range specified in the network
plan.
3.2 Configuration Example (ISM6+XMC-3 ODU)

XMC-3 ODU is used.

3.1 Commissioning for Site Deployment

The purpose of site commissioning is to establish MIMO links and ensure that the
XPI value of each link is adjusted to be within the range specified in the network
plan.

XPI values can be queried on the NCE in one-click mode.
Data Preparation

Item Value in This Planning Principle
Example
Opposite NE ID 4094 Indicates the ID of the peer NE.
Opposite NE Ex- 9 Indicates the extended ID of the

ID peer NE.
Opposite NE Slot 3 Indicates the slot ID of the IF

ID board corresponding to the peer
NE's antenna that is installed at
the same relative position on the
tower. Take Figure 3-1 as an
example. When the 1-ISM8 board
connected to antenna A is
selected at the local end, this
parameter must be set to the slot
number (3 in this case) of the IF
board connected to antenna B at
the peer end. Similarly, when the
2-ISM8 board connected to
antenna C is selected at the local
end, this parameter must be set to
the slot number (5 in this case) of
the IF board connected to
antenna D at the peer end.

NOTICE
After a MIMO group is configured, querying the XPI values in one-click mode will
interrupt the links.

interrupted or encounter bit errors, or data services on the IF boards will be
interrupted or encounter an exception.
Possible Causes
The possible causes of the BUS_ERR alarm are as follows:
● Cause 1: The board is not securely inserted.

● Cause 2: The board is faulty.

● Cause 3: The NE backplane is faulty.
Procedure
Step 1 Cause 1: The board is not securely inserted.
1. Reseat the board by referring to Removing a Board and Inserting a Board.
2. Check whether the BUS_ERR alarm is cleared. If the alarm persists, go to the
next step.
Step 2 Cause 2: The board is faulty.
1. Perform a cold reset on the board that reports the alarm by referring to Cold
Reset.
2. Check whether the BUS_ERR alarm is cleared. If the alarm persists, replace the
