Packet Radio QoS
9500 MPR and QoS
The Quality of Service feature assigns the priority for general Ethernet packets
according to information in:
 IEEE std 802.1p: the packet is examined for the presence of a valid 802.1P
user priority tag. If the tag is present the correspondent priority is assigned to
the packet
 DiffServ: each packet is classified based on DSCP field in the IP header to
determine the priority;
 Disabled: all Ethernet traffic has the same priority. Each packet is given the
lowest priority queue. Basically the first packet that arrives is the first
Ethernet packet that is transmitted.
 Note – Disabled is the default setting in the 9500 MPR.

Network Synchronization for Ethernet or TDM
 Network Clock locked to the radio symbol rate (Layer 1 Mechanism)

 Not affected by modulation rate, or system loading
 Requires no additional overhead to distribute messaging
 Not affected by Adaptive Modulation changes
 In case of link failure, an integrated secondary clock source can be temporarily used (e.g. a Stratum3
local oscillator) guarantying G823/G824 mask compliancy
ASN
9500MPR
Synchronization – 1588 V2 for Ethernet
When no physical synch (like in MPR) is present, 1588 can be an option.
 Contrary to fiber, performances of 1588 in a microwave network may not meet the
synch requirements of Base station or TDM circuits
 If deterministic behaviour of 1588 packets can not be provided by microwave radio
transport, synchronization is lost because of :
 PDV due to adaptive modulation and mixture of traffic types
 Low bit rate compared to fiber (adaptive clock recovery algorithm not
valid at low bit rates)
 Unless packet fragmentation is performed (like in MPR), additional PDV
added by External Ethernet switch
ASN
9500MPR
Service clock – TDM Differential clock recovery
Differential Clock Recovery
 Network Clock locked to the radio symbol rate
 It is the clock that could be distributed using radio symbol rate
 Network Clock used as “common clock” for the data recovery
 The common clock is available at both sides and transferred via radio symbol rate
 Recovered T1 compliant to G823/4
 Allows timing distribution for legacy 2G/3G carriers and other services

Optical transport network
 Accurate transport of synchronization over several network elements
Microwave Packet Radio transport segments
 Same constraints as generic Ethernet microwave transport; however…
 Alcatel-Lucent patented algorithms derive synchronization from the radio frame
 Input timing at fiber hub may be driven by:
 Gigabit Ethernet optical connection
 DS1 inputs from optical multiplexers
 GPS, external timing supply or other Stratum 1 traceable source
 Timing derived from microwave frame (Layer 1) allows accurate delivery of timing to cell sites
 Sync connection from 9500 MPR to 7705 SAR eliminates need for external timing sources
