    Chapter 2. Description 2.1. LibraPlus Series Products 2.1.1. Overview The information in this guide applies to the EION "LibraPlus" series products. This chapter presents an overview of the features and different models in the LibraPlus Series product family. 2.1.2. Proprietary Protocol The LibraPlus uses proprietary protocols to acheive performance metrics that far exceed those offered by traditional WiFi devices.

    Description Fig. 2.1. Orthogonal Arrangement of OFDM Subchannels 2.1.4. About Point-to-Multi-Point (P-MP) Systems Two kinds of equipment are required for a wireless P-MP link: Access Point (AP) equipment and Customer Premise Equipment (CPE). AP equipment is located at the service provider’s site and CPE equipment is located at the customer’s site.

  • Page 17: Point To Multipoint Based On Csma

    Description Fig. 2.2. LibraPlus P-MP System Components 2.1.4.1. Point to Multipoint based on CSMA A CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access With Collision Avoidance) system will require that all remote stations be able to hear one another. If any one station in the system cannot hear all the rest of the stations, collisions will most likely occur.

  • Page 18: Libraplus 5845 Adaptive Polling Protocol

    The LibraPlus 5845 uses intelligence to determine the number of polling cycles every user gets depend- ing on the level of its activity. This way the network resources are not wasted during the polling of inactive users due to no user data transmission.

  • Page 19: Long Range Customer Premise Equipment (Lcpe)

    Description • LibraPlus CPE. The CPE is the main piece of equipment that would normally be installed out- doors (indoor installation is permitted when feasible) The CPE contains all of the necessary radio equipment to provide a high-speed wireless link. The CPE also has an integral antenna such that no RF cables are required for a typical installation.

  • Page 20: Quality Of Service (Qos)

    The following diagram shows TDM in a DL and TDMA in the UL. Each slot is allocated to a different CPE. In the EION system each slot may vary in time depending on traffic destined for each of the CPEs. CPEs that are not very active will also be polled less frequently thus reducing the latency of the system.

  • Page 21: Denflow Proprietary Protocol

    Description 2.1.5.1. DenFlow Proprietary Protocol DenFlow is a proprietary protocol that enhances LibraPlus 5845 performance and security for radios in a Point-to-Point configuration. With DenFlow, the radios will dynamically report and optimize the productivity of channels for PTP communication. The Denflow protocol improves system performance and work to protect the link against interference.
