 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

1 Overview
ZTE NR9000 digital microwave transmission system is introduced in this document.
As a medium nodal equipment of NR9000 portfolio, NR9250 is described here in
detail, which process TDM, Ethernet, MPLS or SR packet transmission with the
same platform.

1.1 Future Oriented NR9250

With the rapid growth of data traffic, especially in 5G era, a high bandwidth
microwave transmission system is needed in the backhaul as well as private network.
ZTE released its high capacity and aggregation solution to fit the developmental
requirements with carrier grade and packet based microwave equipment—NR9250.

NR9250, the 2U height equipment, provides 11 configurable slots (include core

switch unit slots, power slots, fan slot, IF/traffic unit slots) that support hot-swapping
boards and offer up to 12/16 radio directions.

NR9250 is a packet-based solution to offer carrier grade network where the packet
based traffic is predominant, giving consideration to support the still present TDM
traffic: TDM will be emulated into packet and then transferred along with other packet
service.

When combining with ZTE E-band product ER2020E, NR9250 will offer ultra-high
capacity MBL (Multi-band link) solution for 5G mobile backhaul or midhaul.

1.2 NR9250 System Introduction

NR9250 microwave system includes indoor unit (IDU) and outdoor unit (ODU). The
ODU is a waterproof unit and can be mounted on antenna in direct or remote way.

1.2.1 IDU Introduction

NR9250 indoor unit (IDU) provides core control, baseband processing,

switching/cross connection and service access function. As an entire system, it
usually connect with single or multiple outdoor radio units (ODU) via intermediate
frequency (IF) cables.

2 Functions and Features

The main functions and features of NR9250 are described in this chapter.

16 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary

 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

2.1 Powerful Hardware Platform

2.1.1 An Unified Platform for Packet Microwave Radio

The functionality of L2/L3/MPLS/SDN can be supported in NR9250. All packet

switching is recommended for L3/MPLS based network (4G LTE/5G wireless
backhaul or midhaul):

 PWE3 technique emulates the native TDM service that accessed at UNI side
into packet streams and then transferred in an MPLS based all packet switching
network.

 CESoETH technique emulates the native TDM service that accessed at UNI
side into packet streams and then transferred in an ETH based all packet
switching network.

 Ethernet service will be transferred in native mode or emulated into MPLS

packets.

Fig. 2-1 Unified switching platform

2.1.2 Powerful Switching Capability

NR9250 supports packet switching and TDM circuit emulation functions.

The core control units provides 160Gbit/s with CSB packet switching capacity for
several 10GEs and/or GEs service access and switching.

2.1.3 Flexible Modular Design

Ethernet/TDM traffic board are provided by NR9250, which can meet different
transmission requirements via configuring different function boards.

1. Flexible Slots Configuration

ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 17

ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

All the function boards support flexible configuration that bring easy hardware
addition or replacement.

2. Hot-Swappable Boards

NR9250 provides admirable hot-swapping function. When tributary unit board is

broken, it can be replaced by a new board without power off. Furthermore, the
traffic will automatically recover without reconfiguration when the board is
replaced by a same type board and be installed into the same slot.

During maintenance stage, the broken board will be swapped directly while the
license is kept, which can simplify the maintenance process.

2.1.4 High Reliability Design

The SRU2/SRU2S/SRU3D/HRU2F V1.0/HRU2F V2.0/HRU2/HRU3D conforms to

high standard for the sake of high reliability and availability.

 Ingress protection: IP66.

 Lightning protection: 20 kA (SRU2/SRU3D/HRU2F V1.0)/10 kA

(SRU2S/HRU2F V2.0/HRU2/HRU3D), lightning arrester saved.

With the high standard design, the system is able to be applied in various severe
environments.

2.1.5 Energy Saving Design

 Intelligent Cooling System

An intelligent fan unit is adopted by NR9250 to reduce the OPEX and noise.

The running speed of fan can be adjusted automatically according to the

equipment’s temperature, which could reduce the power consumption. The
lower temperature it is, the less power it costs. Meanwhile, the noise produced
by the running fan is reduced obviously.

Take FB2 for instance, the relationship between the environment temperature
and fan’s power consumption in typical configuration is shown in following
figure.

18 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary

 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

Fig. 2-2 Intelligent cooling system (FB2 board)

Compared with constant rate fan, ZTE’s intelligent cooling system has the
following advantages:

 Low power consumption, the OPEX is reduced.

 Low noise, a comfortable working environment is obtained.

 Low running speed tendency, the Fan’s service life is increased.

 Green Power Mode

SRU2/SRU2S/SRU3D/HRU2F V1.0/HRU2F V2.0/HRU2/HRU3D can reduce its

power consumption for 2 watts.

2.2 Enhanced Radio Features

2.2.1 Modem Baseband Signal Processing

1. The Adaptive Equalizer, 41-tap fractional-spaced feed-forward filter (FFF), is

used to remove inter-symbol interference. This block's adaptation is based on
an LMS decision-directed mechanism.

2. LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Checked) and RS (Reed-Solomon) codes based

FEC (Forward Error Correction) scheme is used to achieve good performance,
high reliability and high efficiency.

ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 19

ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

2.2.2 ATPC (Automatic Transmit Power Control)

Automatic transmit power control (ATPC) is an automatic transmit power adjustment

technology.

ATPC is used to lower the RF transmit power when environmental conditions are
good in order to reduce wireless interference. Under fading conditions the transmit
power is automatically increased to compensate for far end signal loss and to ensure
the link continues to meet the required receiver signal level.

The transmit power at one end of the microwave equipment adaptively changes in
accordance with the receiving level of the receiver at the peer end.

 The receiving level range from-30 to-70dBm can be set to determine whether
the ATPC function needs to operate.

 The adjustment range of ATPC Tx power is from the minimum Tx power to the
maximum Tx power.

Fig. 2-3 ATPC Principle Diagram

2.2.3 ACM (Adaptive Coding & Modulation)

NR9250 supports fixed modulation or Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) mode
in all frequencies and Channel Spacing (CS).

In fixed modulation condition, the radio working status and capacity will not change
unless the modulation is changed by manual. Once the signal quality degrading
lower than receiver threshold, the link will break down and all the services are

20 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary

 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

affected.

ACM enables the radio capacity to change according to the link quality, which is a
perfect way to supply additional best effort traffic under normal weather conditions.
When extreme weather conditions, such as a storm, affect the transmission and
receipt of data and voice over the wireless network, an ACM-enabled radio system
automatically shift down modulation according to MSE (Mean Square Error, that
indicates the radio signal quality) and XPD (in case XPIC link) values, which allows
the high priority data (e.g. real time data) to continue to run uninterrupted. With ZTE’s
solution, no bit errors are generated during the modulation change; it is designed for
carrier grade networks.

TIPS:

1. The ACM switching is hitless in normal fading condition (the link fading rate is less than

100dB/s, non-fast fading condition).

2. When using 1024QAM and/or higher level modulation scheme, ACM function is

recommended.

Fig. 2-4 ACM working scheme (taking QPSK to 2048 QAM for instance)

 Enhanced ACM

When planning ACM-based radio links, enhanced ACM allows the radio
maintains the highest level modulation with the lowest transmit power (Tx
power). Once fading occurs, the TX power of N9250 will be increased with the
decrease of ACM modulation.

ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 21

ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

 ACM with QoS

Once ACM mechanism is activated, the QoS mechanism will ensure high
priority services. For further information about QoS functionality, please refer to
section QoS.

The advantages of ZTE’s ACM include:

 Maximized spectrum usage

 Hitless modulation/coding changes based on MSE/BLER/XPD. Carried

grade modulation changing rate is 10 ms per step.

 Adaptive maximum Tx power per modulation for maximal system gain

per working point

 An integrated QoS mechanism that enables intelligent congestion

management to ensure that high priority traffic is not affected during link
fading.

2.2.4 XPIC (CCDP)

Co-Channel Dual Polarization (CCDP) with Cross Polarization Interference

Canceller (XPIC) technology is one of the best ways to enhance spectral efficiency.
With this function, one frequency point could be used as two carriers to double the
throughput.

A high performance dual-polarized antenna should be used to minimize the

cross-polarization interference.

Fig. 2-5 XPIC description

Common scenarios:

 ZTE’s XPIC could work alongside with ACM function and 1+1 protection
scheme, which can deliver a wireless backhaul solution with enhanced
availability, high reliability and high throughput.

 PLA or LAG/enhanced LAG is usually used in XPIC radio link to achieve load

22 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary

 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

balance and high throughput.

2.2.5 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output)

There’s another technique, MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output), to further improve
the transmission capacity within limited frequency resource besides XPIC. An NxN
MIMO system consists of N transmitters and N receivers, N streams of separate
signals could be transmitted with one frequency pair simultaneously. The basic
principle of MIMO is to transmit a signal with different paths between transmitters
and receivers. For example, in a 2x2 MIMO system, there are two possible paths
between one transmitter and two receivers. As shown in following figure, the
interfering signal can be cancelled if the difference in propagation between the two
paths permits the two received signals to be orthogonal to each other at the receiver
modems. For a 2x2 system, this corresponds to a relative phase difference of 90
degrees.

Fig. 2-6 2x2 LoS MIMO Basic Principle

LoS (Line of Sight) MIMO is adopted in microwave radio system. The following
advantages could be expected from LoS MIMO:

 Enhance the system throughput – double the throughput within the same frequency
pair.

 Improve the system gain – improve the RX threshold for 3 dB in theory, like RX
combining technology. In real application, the improvement may be range from 0~2
dB depends on the antenna separation.

ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 23

ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

NR9250 supports 4x4 MIMO (2x2 MIMO with XPIC) configuration and the schematic
diagram is shown in the following figure.

Fig. 2-7 NR9250 4x4 LoS MIMO schematic diagram of radio part

Tips:

1. Disabling ATPC is recommended in MIMO configuration.

2.2.6 CA (Carrier Aggregation)

As shown in following figure, carrier aggregation enables one IF interface

transmit/receive two carrier signals from/to one SRU3D/HRU3D via one IF interface
& cable.

Fig. 2-8 Traditional solution vs carrier aggregation solution (SRU3D/HRU3D)

Note:

1. CA function is available for modem board MD2/ME2 and HRU3D.

24 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary

 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

2. MD2 with HRU3D support 14/28/40/56 MHz bandwidth carrier aggregation within 112 MHz.

3. Disabling ATPC is recommended at CA configuration.

4. CA within 112 MHz bandwidth: BW + |F2-F1| <= 112 MHz.

5. CA within 224 MHz bandwidth: BW + |F2-F1| <= 224 MHz.

6. The maximum transmit power of CA is lower than that of non-CA.

2.2.7 MBL (Multi-Band Link)

MBL is short for multi-band link. E-band and normal band can be combined to
improve the transmission distance. By reducing the E-band link availability and
transmit high priority traffic on normal band, MBL can reach further transmission
distance for high capacity solution.

MBL supports the following highlights:

 E-band link in MBL is used for high throughput application. The radio capacity
can be 10Gbps.

 Normal band in MBL is used for high performance application due to the better
rain loss parameter.

 when E-band link availability degrade to 99.9%, the link distance can be extend
to 10km. and the distance can be even longer to more than 20km by using
MBL relay.

 PLA, ACM and QoS technologies are used for guarantee 99.999% availability
for the high priority traffic.

Note:

When the product operates in multi-band scenario, the ETH throughput is slightly less than the

normal band ETH throughput plus the eband ETH throughput.

2.2.8 CCIC (Co-Channel Interference Cancellation)

In traditional solutions, the same frequency pair cannot be used repeatedly when the
link angle is less than 90°. Therefore, many microwave transmission scenarios are
limited by frequency resources.

The CCIC (co-channel interference cancellation) technology is used to eliminate

ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 25

ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

interference signals in the same frequency bands in the uplink and downlink. In this
way, the same frequency pairs can be reused from a small angle, greatly optimizing
spectrum usage.

CCIC key specifications:

 Class3 antenna:

 Modulation scheme: up to 256QAM

 Frequency reuse angle: up to 30°

 Class4 antenna:

 Modulation scheme: up to 256QAM

 Frequency reuse angle: up to 15°

The CCIC application scenario is shown in the following figure.

Fig. 2-9 CCIC application scenario

2.2.9 High System Gain Technique

System gain is one of the key performance indicators which affect the link distance,
antenna size and link availability. Two solutions are used in ZTE microwave radio to
improve system gain:

1. Enhanced Tx. Power: HRU2/HRU2F V1.0/HRU2F V2.0/HRU2/HRU3D are high

performance ODUs, which provide much higher output power than normal

26 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary

 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

performance ODU to achieve better system gain. While, distortion will be

created when the power amplifiers running in their non-linear regions. DPD
(Digital Pre-Distortion) is used to increase the efficiency of Power Amplifiers by
reducing the distortion.

2. Rx Combining (Receiver Signal Combining). Two signals are received at

receiver end in a SD (Space Diversity) link and the better one is chosen as main
signal. Actually, the two signals received from two separated
antennas/receivers are independent of each other; both of them can be used as
useful signals. Rx Combining, a method of diversity combining, is used to
combine the two signals to one and gain better signal quality. Theoretically, the
system gain can be increased up to 2.5 dB with Rx combining technique.

2.3 Intelligent Service Processing

2.3.1 Native-like TDM function

ZTE provides a unique TDM transmission solution: Native-like TDM. Compared with
PWE3 TDM, the native-like TDM simplifies TDM configuration, reduces TDM service
provisioning difficulty, and simplifies operation and maintenance.

 The native-like TDM is based on CESoETH technology.

 The native-like TDM simulates the operation interface of the traditional Native
TDM.

 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

2.3.4 Segment Routing

SR (Segment Routing) is a source routing concept in which an ingress node selects

a path and encodes that into the packet header as an ordered list of segment. SR
allows service chaining, the entire path to be exposed to ingress/egress head end
router. From the control plane perspective IGP (OSPF/ISIS), BGP, PCE-P and BGP
LS are being extended to support Segment routing.

Segment routing highlights:

1. IGP protocol is required only in one IGP domain rather than extra LDP or RSVP,
simplifying network protocol.

2. Paths are calculated and maintained in ingress/egress head end router, better
for centralized path calculation and distribution via SDN controller.

3. Benefits of combination of SR and SDN, automated traffic engineering and load

balance can be realized.

4. The midpoints will not maintain the state of forwarding path, avoiding the
conflicts of the mass connection and equipment route table capacity in 5G
network.

The following SR MPLS feature can be provided in NR9250:

2.3.5 SDN for Deploying an Agile & Flexible Network

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging architecture that is dynamic,

manageable, cost-effective, and adaptable, making it ideal for the high-bandwidth,
dynamic nature of today’s applications, which offers a centralized, programmable
network to enable cloud and network engineers and administrators to respond
quickly to changing business requirements.

Fig. 2-10 SDN framework

ZTE will provide a controller based on a unified and open management and control
platform.-ZENIC ONE. This controller is designed for carrier networks and supports
the open NBI (Northbound Interface, e.g. RESTCONF) and SBI (Southbound
Interface, e.g. NETCONF/PCEP/BGP-LS) to enrich business applications and
network services.

Three basic SDN features - topology auto-discovery, E2E packet service

instantiation and RF parameter configuration have been test for some famous
telecom operators.

1. Topology Auto-discovery: ZTE’s ZENIC ONE controller can collect, manage

and apply the network topologies (physical topology and service topology) it
manages, and display them as required by the user via Netcong. For instance,
when a node or link fails, the topology view can display the change of physical
topology and can also color the faulty link or node.

32 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary

 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

2. E2E Service Instantiation: The end-to-end packet service can be established by

the ZENIC ONE controller, including E-LINE, E-LAN, L2VPN and L3VPN.

3. RF Parameter Configuration: Through the ONF TR532 south of the interface,

the ZENIC ONE controller can configure the microwave radio port parameter,
such as frequency, bandwidth and modulation. During the network running, the
controller can also query microwave radio parameter configuration through
TR532 interface. Operators also can develop other automation APPs basing on
TR532.

The SDN energy saving function is enabled for the N+0 microwave link, and the idle
link when the transmission traffic is low can be disabled to save energy.

 Save energy parameters

 Energy-saving time period: For example, when the service

transmission requirement at night is low, the energy-saving time can be
set at night.

 Low threshold of service transmission: When the transmission service

reaches the low threshold during the energy saving period, the energy
saving mode is enabled and the idle link is disabled.

 High threshold of service transmission: When the transmission service

reaches the high threshold during the energy saving period, the energy
saving mode is disabled and the idle link is enabled.

 Currently, the SDN energy saving function is configured through the LMT.

2.3.6 Low Latency Design

Ultralow latency is a key feature of 5G network, which was researched and defined
preliminarily in 3GPP and other standards. It’s a big challenge to traditional MW
transmission system where there’s no low latency technique.

NR9250 employs high rate switch chip, low latency tunnel design and advanced
coding to implement ultra-low latency.

 NR9250 supports the low-delay channel technology in the specified scenario.

 The advanced coding technology is valid in the L01 mode.

ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 33

ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

2.3.7 Load Balance

NR9250 supports Ethernet traffic load balance:

 Ethernet traffic load balance is realized by Physical Layer Aggregation (PLA),

Link Aggregation Group (LAG) and Enhanced LAG.

 PLA/SPLA can send one Ethernet stream to far end through several radio
channels, which is very useful for delivering large streams. It’s an
intelligent way of increasing bandwidth utilization by adjusting the radio
channels’ throughputs dynamically according to their forwarding efficiency.

 LAG can realize multi-channel load balance by hash algorithm based on

MAC address, IP address (IPv4/IPv6).

 Enhanced LAG can deliver different streams into different radio channels
according to hash algorithm based on MAC/IP address (IPv4/IPv6), port ID,
VLAN ID, Ethernet type, MPLS label.

Note:

1. LAG/Enhanced LAG will send the same stream through the same radio channel except the

channel is failed.

2. Only one of the above techniques can be applied for the same aggregation group.

3. The 802.3ad or 802.1ax standard specifies that all ports in a LAG must have the same data

rate and must be configured as full duplex.

4. When using PLA, the ETH throughput per channel is slightly less than the ETH throughput of

scenario without PLA.

5. When the PLA function is configured on the MD2 board, the maximum transmission capacity

of the PLA group is 10Gbps.

 PWE3 TDM traffic load balance is realized by PLA/LAG/enhanced LAG.

 With PWE3 technique, native TDM is emulated into packet streams and
then balanced by PLA/LAG/enhanced LAG

 ECMP (Equal-cost multi-path): ECMP is a routing strategy where next hop

packet forwarding to a single destination can occur over multiple best paths
which tie for top place in routing metric calculations. ECMP can substantially
increase bandwidth by load-balancing traffic over multiple paths. NR9250 will
support:

34 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary

 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

 Routing protocol ECMP: OSPF ECMP/IS-IS ECMP/BGP ECMP

 LDP ECMP/LDP Entropy label

 TE tunnel ECMP

Function highlights:

 Realize high throughput transmission with low capacity radio

 PLA or LAG/enhanced LAG also provides Ethernet link protection to increase

system reliability

2.3.8 Frame Compression

In order to improve the transmission efficiency and the throughput under the limited
radio source, an encapsulation efficiency technology called Frame Compression is
adopted by NR9250.

ZTE industry leading frame compression technology increases the effective capacity
over the radio link. It supports compression of Layer 2 (MAC address/VLAN tag),
Layer 2.5 (MPLS labels) and Layer 3-4 (IPv4/IPv6 address/UDP) header fields. The
frame compression is accomplished by identifying packets with a recurring pattern of
their header fields. Such fields with recurring values are omitted and replaced with a
much shorter compression tag. Original data are stored in compression table
together with their compression tag on both sides of the link. A handshake
mechanism between the transmitter and the receiver ensures that the compression
tables are synchronized on both sides of the link.

The actual increased throughput depends on the packet size and compression
scheme.

2.3.9 QoS/HQoS

The Quality of Service (QoS) indicates the performance of data stream over a
network. It promises to provide end-to-end services of high quality for users by
resolving network delay and congestion problems. In case of network overload or
congestion, QoS ensures high priority traffics. The following features are supported:

2.3.10 Bandwidth Notification Message

This feature describes the microwave ACM signaling and Bandwidth Notification
Message (BNM) integration, which enables the microwave radio transceivers to

36 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary

 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

report link bandwidth information to an upstream Ethernet switch or router and take
action on the signal degradation to reliable quality of service (QoS) management and
optimized performance.

In extreme weather conditions, the link bandwidth of an ACM-enabled radio system

will change automatically. The Ethernet OAM monitors the microwave link bandwidth,
and when a link degradation is detected, the BNM frames carry the current and
nominal bandwidth, notifies the router/switch/base station to adjust service policies,
e.g. to reduce the rate of traffic being directed towards the degraded link.

The microwave radio equipment in the network must support ACM and Y.1731
ETH-BN (Ethernet bandwidth notification). The ACM enables the radio capacity to
change according to the link quality. The frames with ETH-BN information is defined
to carry and report the current and nominal bandwidth from the microwave radio to
the other microwave radio or 3rd equipment.

2.4 High Accuracy Clock Supply and Synchronization

NR9250 supports diversified clock in/out options and provides the mainstream
synchronization methods.

The microwave system could synchronize from local crystal oscillator, radio frame
and the external clock input. NR9250 could also distribute clock signal to other
equipment (base station for instance).

The main features include:

 Sync. E with SSM/expanded SSM protocol provides frequency synchronization.

 Phase/Time synchronization with the combination of 1588v2 and Sync.E

(1588v2 TC, Sync. E + 1588v2 OC/BC).

 ACR, DCR or retiming for PWE3 TDM service frequency synchronization.

 Supports priority-based multi clock source protection and 1588v2 BMC

algorithm.

 Frequency synchronization has three working modes: locking, maintaining, and

free oscillation.

 The clock can maintain at least 24 hours (holdover time) in case losing clock
source.

2.6 Network Security

NR9250 can prevent unauthorized logins and operations, ensuring network, radio
link and equipment management security.

2.6.1 ACL (Access Control List)

Access Control List (ACL) can classify the ingress packets and implements black list
management to enhance the network security.

Black list can be created via setting ACL parameters to specify which kind of traffic
will be rejected per port. When a black list is enabled, the frames in the black list will
be discarded.

38 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary

 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

2.6.2 Broadcast Storm Control

Filters can be created per port to prevent broadcast and multicast storms. Individual
filters are used for broadcast and multicast traffic. The limit is specified as fixed rate
(frames per second). When the limit is reached, additional frames will be discarded
until the frame rate is below the specified threshold. The storm control filters are list
as below.

 Broadcast packet.

 Multicast packet (IP multicast/MAC multicast).

 Unknown unicast packet.

2.6.3 Link Security ID (Radio Link Security Identification)

Link Security Identification (link security ID) is used to avoid mismatch between two
radio links. Two ends of a radio link with different radio link IDs will not communicate
each other even if they have other proper configurations. It’s a good way of
preventing undesired link connection to improve network security, such as the third
party malicious data interception. Alarms will be reported and the traffic will be
interrupted once link ID differences between local and remote sites are detected.

2.6.4 Security Key System

Microwave NEs generate and store root keys and working keys in a secure manner,
providing wonderful protection for NE assets and data.

The root key is generated when the system is powered on, with a length of >= 256
bits and saved in the memory. Each NE has a different root key.

The working key is encrypted and decrypted by the root key. The algorithm is
AES256. The working key can be set by the user to ensure its security.

2.6.5 User Authorization

 User authentication includes local user name/password authentication and

remote authentication. Remote authentication includes:

 RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) authentication

(RADIUS server is required).

ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 39

ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

 TACACS+ (Terminal Access Controller Access Control System) (TACA

CS+ server is required).

 Secure communication channels: TLS v1.3, SSH v2, SNMPv3, HTTPS, SFTP.

 User account security，including weak password detect, anti-violence attack,

default account delete/disable etc.

2.6.6 Radio Link Encryption

Radio link encryption function (on-demand feature) using AES algorithm to encrypt
radio data, thus preventing the third parties unauthorized access to microwave
transmission network. This function can effectively prevent transmit data to be
illegally obtain or modify.

Encryption algorithms include:

 Symmetric key algorithms: 128-bit AES

 Symmetric key algorithms: 192-bit AES

 Symmetric key algorithms: 256-bit AES

2.7 Management and Maintenance

2.7.1 Frequency Auto-scanning

Frequency scanning is a detection technique to help us to find out the interference by

scanning the receiver radio signal within the range of frequency sub-band, and
troubleshooting the frequency points of interference signals. The higher the receiver
signal level is, the severer the interference will be.

One can benefit from three aspects as follows:

 If the decline of transmission quality caused by poor signals during operation,

maintainers can detect the interference frequency source accurately, and avoid
interference by rearranging the frequency plan.

 This function is realized by microwave equipment without any expensive

frequency scanning instrument such as spectrum analyzer to save the

40 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary

 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

operating cost.

2.7.2 Wi-Fi Access

Wi-Fi solution is widely used in wireless interconnection thanks to its cost saving
deployment of local area networks (LANs). Specifically, spaces where cables cannot
be run, such as outdoor areas, can host wireless LANs as a cost effective solution.
Users can access and log the NE via smart phone, Pad or laptop.

NR9250 product provides Wi-Fi access function, which is implemented by

connecting an external USB Wi-Fi module with the USB interface of the IDU.

2.7.3 Smart DCN

The DCN (Data Communication Network) channel is a dedicated channel for NE

management. DCN channels and service transmission channels are isolated from
each other.

When the EMS manages NEs through the traditional DCN channel, the devices in
the entire network must be commissioned and configured first.

The Smart DCN provides flexible and convenient NE management for the complex
L3 network. Compared with traditional DCN channels, the Smart DCN can save IP
resources, make site commissioning simpler, make maintenance easier and make
applications more flexible.

 Smart DCN uses the IP unnumber technology to allocate the DCN management
address to the NE without allocating the interface IP address, thus saving the IP
address resources.

 Traditional DCN implement NE management of the entire network, and onside

commissioning, debugging, configuration must be completed first. Smart DCN
only needs to complete equipment commissioning, it can automatically create
OSPF to connect the layer-3 routes between NEs and implement network-wide
management.

 If the traditional DCN is configured incorrectly, the remote site will be

disconnected and services cannot be restored remotely. However, the Smart
DCN through its exclusive emergency maintenance channel and neighbour
configuration query channel, to quickly and remotely restore the neighbour

ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

configuration.

 The Smart DCN based on the L3 routing technology does not need to consider
Ethernet loops or broadcast storms.

2.7.4 Ethernet OAM

IEEE 802.3ah complied Ethernet link OAM, IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731
complied Ethernet service OAM is supported by NR9000 product. As shown in
following figure, they provide E2E and hierarchical Ethernet OAM for our customer’s
network.

Fig. 2-11 Full scale and hierarchical Ethernet OAM

 Ethernet Link OAM

Ethernet Link OAM supports fault management on Ethernet links according to

IEEE 802.3ah (also called “EFM”) and provides fault management and
performance monitoring in the Metro Ethernet Network (MEN) access link. It is
used in physical line connection scenario.

Note: Ethernet Link OAM is only supported for LAN interfaces.

The three main Ethernet Link OAM areas are supported:

 Link Performance Monitoring.

Link performance monitoring is used for event notification on error frames

at both near and far end and is used on NEs in operation. The

42 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary

 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

notifications are based on a threshold crossing within a specific time

window.

 Failure Notification

Notices the Ethernet link failure to the far end that in OAM operation.

 Remote Loopback

Link OAM remote loopback can be used for fault localization and link
performance testing on LAN interfaces.

 Ethernet Service OAM

IEEE 802.1ag (also called “CFM") is a standard defined by IEEE. It defines

protocols and practices for OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance)
for paths through 802.1 bridges and local area networks (LANs).

IEEE 802.1ag is largely identical with ITU-T Recommendation Y.1731, which

additionally addresses performance management.

The main Ethernet service OAM areas are described below.

Table 2-6 Ethernet service OAM

Function Description Standard

Continuity check (CC) in MEN is used for the Ethernet fault

CC checking, which indicates the link status between two MEPs. CC
period: 3.33 ms, 10 ms, 100 ms, 1 s, 10 s, 1 min, 10 min.

Loopback (LB) is used for fault confirmation and fault location. The
LB loopback defined in IEEE 802.1ag is a kind of unicast loopback that 802.1ag
brings no user service interruption

Link Trace (LT) is used for fault location and route discovery. When
LT this function is enabled, the service route and failure point of the
demand link is list.

Frame Loss Measurement (LM) is used to measure Ethernet

LM end-to-end frame lost ratio, which is lunched by the network
manager. NR9250 only supports single-ended LM.

Frame Delay Measurement (DM) is used for on-demand OAM to Y.1731

measure Ethernet end-to-end frame delay and frame delay

fault occurred at local MEP.

Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) suppresses alarms at the client-layer

AIS MEPs after detecting a fault or an AIS condition at the server-layer
MEP.

Locked Signal (LCK) suppresses the alarms generated by

LCK out-of-service management or testing. The MEPs which received
LCK information will ignore the link failure caused by the testing.

Testing signal (TST) is used for Ethernet throughput and packet

TST
loss rate testing, including in-service or out-of-service testing.

Ring-Automatic Protection Switching (R-APS) provides switching

R-APS
signal for G.8032 ring protection.

2.7.5 MPLS OAM

MPLS OAM is used for fault and performance monitoring of MPLS networks. MPLS
OAM described in this section includes LSP Ping/Traceroute, PW Ping/PWE3
Ping/Traceroute, and BFD:

 LSP Ping/Traceroute: Similar to traditional IP Ping, LSP Ping/Traceroute

monitors LSP faults through two types of packets: Echo Request and Echo
Reply. LSP Ping detects the bidirectional connectivity of the LSPs to a specified
site, while LSP Traceroute detects the bidirectional connectivity of the LSPs to a
specified site and the status of intermediate paths to the specified site. In
general, LSP Ping is used to discover link faults, while LSP Traceroute is used
to locate fault points.

 PWE3 Ping/Traceroute: The principle of PWE3 Ping (also called VCCV-Ping) is

the same as that of LSP Ping. The difference lies in that PWE3 Ping forwards
MPLS Echo Request packets through a PW and determines whether the entire
PW can be used for data forwarding. The principle of PWE3 Traceroute is
similar to that of LSP Traceroute, except for a layer of PW label added to a
packet (the label is used to check whether the VC ID of the local PE is the same
as that of the peer PE).

 BFD: BFD provides a universal, standardized, media-independent, and

protocol-independent fast fault detection mechanism. It can quickly detect the

44 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary

 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

faults of the bidirectional forwarding path between two routers for upper-layer
protocols, such as the routing protocol and MPLS. This section describes the
applications of BFD in MPLS.

2.7.6 MPLS-TP OAM

To meet the high reliability requirements of the carrier-class transmission network,

MPLS-TP OAM is optimized and enhanced on the basis of MPLS OAM.
MPLS-TP OAM protocol includes three layers of network models: Section OAM,
Tunnel OAM and PW OAM. NR9250 support Tunnel OAM and PW OAM.

1. Section OAM monitors and manages the service forwarding at the SECTION
layer.

2. The Tunnel OAM monitors and manages the end-to-end forwarding behavior
and fault information of the LER, and the forwarding behavior of the LSP link.

3. PW OAM monitors and manages the end-to-end forwarding behavior and fault
information between two PEs (SS-PW or MS-PW), and the link forwarding
behavior between any two PEs in MS-PW.

NR9250 MPLS-TP OAM based on G-Ach (Generic Associated Channel) +Y.1731 PDU
extension provides the following fault detection functions:

 Continuity check (CC)

 Operating In active mode, Loss of Continuity (LOC) between any pair of

MEPs in a MEG is checked.

 Alarm Indication Signal (AIS)

 AIS is used for client-layer alarm suppression.

 Remote Defect Indication (RDI)

 RDI detects in active mode whether a fault occurs at the peer end.

 Loopback (LB) Detection

 Operating In on-demand mode, LB is used to verify bidirectional

connectivity and locate faults

 Location Tracing (LT)

 Operating In on-demand mode, LT is used to verify bidirectional

ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 45

ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

connectivity and locate faults.

 Lock (LCK)

 After the data service is interrupted because the service layer is locked for
the purpose of management and maintenance, the MEP at the service
layer instructs the peer MEP at the client layer to suppress the LOC alarms
from the client layer to avoid unnecessary alarms.

 Customer Signal Failure (CSF) indication

 If the user layer itself does not support the alarm suppression/fault
notification mechanism, a MEP forwards signal fault information of the user
layer to the peer MEP through a CSF message, so that user layer fault
information is transmitted.

 Packet Loss Measurement (LM)

 LM detects the packet loss performance of connections, and is divided into

single-ended LM and dual-ended LM.

Note: NR9250 only supports single-ended LM.

 Delay Measurement (DM)

 DM works in on-demand mode, and is used to measure the delay and

delay jitter between two MEPs. It is divided into one-way DM and two-way
DM.

 Testing (TST)

 TST works in on-demand mode and is used to detect the link bandwidth
(throughput).

 Automatic Protection Switching (APS)

 APS is used to transmit fault conditions and protection switching status

information between maintenance endpoints to coordinate protection
switching operations.

2.7.7 SR OAM

 SR PING/TRACE: used for LSP connectivity monitoring and fast fault detection.

 BFD for SR: BFD for SR-BE and BFD for SR-TE LSP.

46 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary

 ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

2.7.8 SQA (Service Quality Analyzer)

 Built-in TWAMP light (RFC 5357 - A Two Way Active Measurement Protocol)
can be used for online IP performance measurement during network stability
period. The test mainly includes Lost Packets, Latency/Delay and Packet Delay
Variation. With TWAMP available, network providers will be able to better know
the exact behavior of their networks and apply resources where improvement is
most likely.

NR9250 supports TWAMP light in L2 ETH/L3/MPLS scenario.

 Built-in RFC2544/Y.1564 can be applied for E2E service channel performance

test at reference link design in system acceptance period test after link
commissioning. The measurement objects are performance indicators,
including network Throughput, Frame Loss Rate, Latency/Delay and Jitter.

NR9250 supports the RFC2544/Y. 1564 self-test in L2 ETH/L3/MPLS scenario.

2.7.9 Intelligent License Control

All the functions of NR9000 are prepared once the hardware is deployed.
Considering a step-by-step and low risk investment, some enhanced functions are
controlled by software license. Thus, capital shortage and over investing are
avoided.

In order to manage the license, standing on customer site, ZTE creates an industrial
leading intelligent license management system, which is a kind of centralized and
flexible license control solution with 3 typical features:

 Centralized license pool (License center).

 Bulk import license.

 Transferable license.

ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 47

ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

Fig. 2-12 Intelligent license control schematic

License file can be imported to the license center (separated server or share EMS
server) and act as license pool. After that, the on-line network elements (NEs) will
request license from license pool (or release license to license pool) automatically
according to link requirement. Manual setting is also supported.

Intelligent license control brings:

 Importing the license in bulk, save time.

 License can be actived automatically, easy maintenance.

 License reusing, reduce CAPEX.

ZXMW NR9250 Product Description

1. MIMO is not applicable to the L01/L02 mode.

6.4.2 System Transmission Capacity

NR9250 supports pure packet and PWE3 TDM service transmission. The
transmission capacity depends on the radio modem unit, modulation scheme, and
channel bandwidth and frame size.

Note:

1. Ethernet throughput is tested according to RFC2544 (frame size: 1518 byte ~ 64 byte) at

SISO (Single Input Single Output) mode and frame compression function is disabled.

2. When PLA is enabled or the product operates in multi-band scenario, the ETH throughput per

channel is not equal to the ETH throughput in this document. For detailed throughput

indicators, refer to the “throughput indicator document”.

3. The actual throughput of each channel spacing and modulation scheme relates to the

average packet size.

4. Ethernet traffic, emulated TDM service and in-band DCN share the radio interface capacity.

5. ME2 boards support G01/C01/L01 mode, MD2 boards support G01/C01/L01/G02/C02/L02

mode, and MD4/ME4 boards support G02/C02/L02 mode

6. 7/14/28/40/56/112 (110) MHz bandwidth is supported by MD2/MD4/ME2/ME4.

7. 80MHz bandwidth is supported by MD2/MD4/ME4 boards (with 6/11GHz SRU2, 6/8/11 GHz

SRU3D/HRU2F V2.0/HRU3D)

8. 224MHz bandwidth is supported @G01/L01/G02/C02/L02 mode, by ME2/ME4 with

15/18/23GHz SRU3D and 15/18GHz HRU2.

9. 16384 QAM modulation is supported by MD2/MD4 with SRU3D.
