Page 25: Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (Mimo)
The underlying technology of Proxim’s product radio(s) are based on a combination of MIMO and OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing). MIMO-OFDM combination radios solve interference, fading and multipath problems On the receiver side, having multiple receivers increases the amount of received power and also reduces multipath problems by combining the received signals for each frequency component separately.
Page 26 Overview Quality of Service: WORP ensures that the most important data arrives with priority by differentiating between priorities of traffic as defined in the profiles for QoS (Quality of Service), similar to the 802.16 WiMAX QoS standard definition. Bandwidth Control: WORP allows service providers to control network bandwidth by throttling outgoing traffic in both base station and subscriber devices, thus protecting the network from excessive bandwidth use by any one station.

Page 82 Advanced Configuration 5.4.1 Link Profiles The Link Profiles feature enables you to create wireless profiles on a per link basis. These link profiles help to determine the wireless transmission properties (Tx data rate, TPC, Tx antenna ports) of a WORP link. On an SU, it determines the transmission properties of all the transmitted packets.
Page 83 Advanced Configuration The default profile can be modified to suit the network requirements. However, it is possible that one profile may not be able to satisfy the requirements of all the WORP links (due to different operating conditions, link distance etc). In such a case, additional link profiles can be defined and associated with respective links appropriately (refer on how to associate profile to a link).

Page 102 Advanced Configuration Parameter Descriptions Antenna Gain When using external antenna, the professional installer should ensure to configure proper antenna gain so that the radio does not exceed the EIRP allowed per regulatory domain. Calculate the antenna gain as follows: Antenna Gain to be configured = Antenna Gain of the antenna used - Cable Loss Example: Consider an example where the device is operating in United States 5.3 GHz with the EIRP 30 dBm.
Page 103 Advanced Configuration Parameter Descriptions Improper configuration of Antenna Gain will affect the sensitivity of the radio card. As the radar detection threshold is fixed by ETSI, the FCC and IC, any change in sensitivity of the radio card will result in false radar detections or actual radar signal not being detected. If the configured antenna gain is higher than the actual antenna gain, Radar signals may go undetected.

Page 105 Advanced Configuration Figure 5-35 MIMO Parameter Description Frequency Extension Frequency Extension is applicable only when the Channel Bandwidth is set to 40 MHz. While choosing 40MHz bandwidth, you can select either 40 PLUS (Upper Extension Channel) or 40 MINUS (Lower Extension Channel). 40 PLUS means the center frequency calculation is done for 20MHz and add another 20MHz to the top edge of 20MHz.
Page 106 Advanced Configuration 5.4.4 Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) / Dynamic Channel Selection (DCS) 5.4.4.1 Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS): ® The Tsunami products support Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for FCC, IC, and ETSI regulatory domains per FCC Part 15 Rules for U-NII devices, IC RSS-210, and ETSI EN 301-893 regulations, respectively. These rules and regulations require that the devices operating in the 5 GHz band must use DFS to prevent interference with RADAR systems.
Page 107 Advanced Configuration 5.4.4.1.2 DFS in SU or End Point B Mode Explained below is the DFS functionality and the way it operates on an SU or a End Point B. 1. When SU/End Point B has no WORP link, it scans continuously all the channels in the configured Frequency Domain for the presence of BSU/End Point A.
Page 108 Advanced Configuration — If the link quality is bad, the channel is blacklisted for 30 minutes. ACS will scan all the non-blacklisted channels and selects the channel with good link quality (least interference). — If the link quality is above the threshold, the device continues to operate in the same channel. Periodically, the device monitors the current operating channel for link quality.

Page 111 Advanced Configuration Parameter Description Retransmission This parameter enables to configure the retransmission threshold percentage on the Threshold device. The device computes percentage of retransmission for each link and compares with the configured threshold. If the retransmission percentage is greater than the user configured retransmission threshold, the link is considered as bad link.
Page 112 Advanced Configuration 5.4.4.4 Manual Blacklist This tab enables you to manually blacklist a channel. However, there are few conditions to be followed while blacklisting channels: When ACS is disabled, the preferred channel and its sub-channels that are part of the current channel bandwidth cannot be manually blacklisted.

Page 116 Advanced Configuration Parameter Description Roaming Preferred Each BSU on the network, maintains a list of channels where its neighbour BSUs are operating. Channels When roaming is enabled, SU learns this list from the current BSU and uses it as Roaming Channel List (RCL), to reduce scanning time while searching for a BSU with better Rx SNR.

When roaming is enabled on the SU, select a profile from the configured link profiles, which serves as the roaming profile. The Default profile serves as the roaming profile when no profile is selected.
Page 119 Advanced Configuration The roaming time for an SU increases when the RADIUS based authentication is enabled on the BSU. When an SU registers with a new BSU, it will transfer all the data, buffered during transition, to the new BSU. 5.4.6 BSU / SU Profiles In the BSU / SU Profiles tab, you can explicitly map a link profile to the peer device (See ).
Page 120 Advanced Configuration Figure 5-45 SU Profiles Entry Added Consider a case where a device is currently connected to its peer and no link profile is explicitly mapped. Then in such a scenario, the default link profile is assigned and displayed in the SU Profiles screen along with a Save option, as shown below: Figure 5-46 Save an SU Profile For such entries, user has the option to click Save button and configure this mapping in the profiles table.
Page 121 Advanced Configuration Figure 5-48 SU Profile Added The newly configured link profile will not be the Active Link Profile until you commit the changes. That is the reason, in the above screen, you are still able to see Default as the Active Link Profile for index 2, even though Profile1 is configured. When you commit the changes, the Active Link Profile will change to Profile1, as shown in the following figure.

Page 129: Quality Of Service (Qos)
Advanced Configuration 5.6 Quality of Service (QoS) The Quality of Service (QoS) feature is based on the 802.16 standard and defines the classes, service flows, and packet identification rules for specific types of traffic. QoS guarantees a reliable and adequate transmission quality for all types of traffic under conditions of high congestion and bandwidth over-subscription.
Page 130 Advanced Configuration A good example is provided by the 18 predefined PIRs. Note that these rules help identify specific traffic types: 1. All – No classification fields, all traffic matches 2. L2 Multicast a. Ethernet Destination (dest = 0x010000000000, mask = 0x010000000000) 3.
Page 131 Advanced Configuration : Two different VoIP rule names have been defined for each direction of traffic, Uplink (UL) and Downlink (DL), (index numbers 4 to 7). This has been done to distinguish the proprietary nature of the Cisco VoIP implementation as opposed to the more standard Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling found, for example, in the Vonage-type VoIP service.

Page 133 Advanced Configuration It is important to note that for each SFC with CIR > 0, there are effectively two absolute traffic priorities alloted (total 16 priorities for the 8 SFC entries). The higher priority is used as long as the throughput of the traffic being sent through SFC is below or equal to the CIR, and the lower priority is used for the rest of the traffic, taking MIR configuration as the second priority.
Page 134 Advanced Configuration e. Minimum Reserved Traffic Rate = 2 Mbps Maximum Latency = 20 milliseconds g. Traffic Priority = 1 Note that two different VoIP Service Flow classes for each direction of traffic have been defined (index numbers 4 to 7) which follow the ITU-T standard nomenclatures: G.711 refers to a type of audio companding and encoding that produces a 64 Kbps bitstream, suitable for all types of audio signals.
