  • Page 16: Product Description

    Introduction The 60 GHz cnWave products support a wide spectrum of up to 9 GHz (57-66 GHz) that is typically divided into channels of 2 GHz each. The 60 GHz band is largely uncongested when compared to 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz public bands, which are currently used for Wi-Fi.
  • Page 17: Characteristics

    802.11ad, it is possible to get a 5 Gbps PHY rate. With 802.11ay, it is possible to get a 10 Gbps PHY rate. 60 GHz cnWave products are capable of providing 15 Gbps Ethernet rates with channel bonding enabled. For channel bonding (CB2), MCS13 is supported and this has a PHY rate of 7.7 Gbps.
  • Page 18: 802.11Ay Standards And Advantages

    Drizzle - 0.25 mm/hr; Light rain - 2.5 mm/hr; Medium rain - 12.5 mm/hr; Heavy rain - 25 mm/hr. Short range The range of a 60 GHz cnWave link can be limited due to oxygen absorption and rain fade which needs to be factored in for link planning. One advantage of a shorter range is frequency re- usability and security (since the signal does not travel long distances).

    V1000, V2000, and V3000 meet various range challenges. Using beam forming, the V3000 has a super long range. cnMaestro panel is used for device management. cnHeat and LINKPlanner helps for easy planning. Unlicensed and interference-free This spectrum spans 57 - 66 GHz and is widely available, especially when compared to the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.

  • Page 24: Wireless Operation

    Wireless operation This section describes how the 60 GHz cnWave is operated, including topology, modulation modes, power control, and security. Wireless topology 60 GHz cnWave supports operation in three topologies: Point to point (PTP) Point to Multipoint (PMP) Mesh The PTP topology provides a point-to-point link using V1000, V2000, and V3000.
  • Page 25 Figure 7: PMP Topology Mesh Mesh efficiently distributes capacity and improves availability, using Open/R based layer 3 IPv6 meshing. It allows for route diversity which provides high network availability and supports up to 15 hops away from a PoP node. Network bandwidth is reduced at each hop, and the total bandwidth available in the network is limited to a PoP node's network reappearance.

    Link adaptation Link adaptation is performed independently for each link for data traffic, and it is closed-loop based. Adjusting the Tx modulation and coding scheme from MCS2 to MCS12 selected for transmission. It is adjusted based on the following: Packet Error Ratio (PER), SNR, local measurements of successful and unsuccessful frame transmissions (e.g.
  • Page 28 Figure 10: Odd and even polarities The MAC synchronizes its timers to an external, accurate time source, such as GPS or IEEE 1588. A timing pulse that resets the Timing Synchronization Function (TSF) on the DN is repeated once every second. This timing pulse occurs exactly at the turn of each second.
  • Page 29: Time-Division Duplexing Access Mechanism

    Time-division duplexing access mechanism 60 GHz cnWave uses a Time Division Duplex (TDD) channel access mechanism. All cnWave nodes are time-synchronized and this is achieved through internal GPS, IEEE 1588(roadmap), or Cambium Sync (roadmap), and each sector of a node is assigned specific times during which it can transmit or receive. A timing pulse that resets the Timing Synchronization Function (TSF) on the DN is repeated once every second (1PPS).
  • Page 30: Designing Wireless Networks

    The use of AES encryption in 60 GHz cnWave is controlled by the AES license and enabled through the purchase of a capability upgrade. Note Encryption Algorithm cannot be configured as TLS RSA when Access Method is Link Name Access. In this case, only the TLS PSK algorithms are supported.
  • Page 31: Ipv6

    Discovery Protocol (NDP) is used with ICMPv6 to resolve the MAC address. IPV6 does not have broadcast but only has multicast. 60 GHz cnWave products get assigned with a unique IP in mesh, either from Controller (CPA) or PoP (DPA), known as loopback address (lo). In Layer 3 mode, nodes can also send Router Advertisement(RA) for all its downstream devices to acquire an IPv6 address.

    Regulatory limits Many countries impose EIRP limits (allowed EIRP) on products operating in the bands used by the 60 GHz cnWave. These are commonly identified by limitations on conducted transmit power or by antenna gain. For example: Table 32: ERC recommendation (70-03)

    60 GHz cnWave radios are designed to operate in Line-of-Sight (LoS) environments. The 60 GHz cnWave radios operate at ranges from 15 m (49 ft) to 2000 m (1.2 miles). The operation of the system depends on the frequency channel chosen.
  • Page 86: Point To Point-Based Single Link Ethernet Bridge

    Point to Point-based single link Ethernet bridge A Point to Point cnWave link can be configured to work as an Ethernet bridge. The operator needs to configure one end as PoP DN, and the other end as CN.
  • Page 87: Support For Dual Networking (Ipv4 And Ipv6)

    IPv6 is encapsulated in the GRE tunnel. The IPv6 user traffic is passed through the cnWave network in the GRE tunnel so that it does not be routed by the cnWave radios, but rather by an external IPv6 router.
  • Page 88: Ipv6 Mode Network Planning

    Figure 61: Example of an IPv4 and IPv6 supported network The operator can choose certain of the radio Ethernet port to be SLAAC based port or (CPE interface), user traffic from this port is only IPv6 based and does not be encapsulated into the GRE Layer 2 bridge when transmitted over the wireless network.
  • Page 89: Ipv6 Network Design Consideration

    There are two sets of networks while designing the IPv6 network. one set is for the OpenR subnets (e.g. prefix of 56 bits and partition into multiple 64 bits subnet). Each cnWave node is assigned with a subnet. Each PoP node, besides being part of the OpenR mesh network, has a subnet assigned to it and has an IPv6 address assigned to it as PoP interface IPv6 address.

    While the E2E and cnMaestro are two separate entities, they can be hosted on separate computers or the same computer. While the E2E communicates with the cnMaestro using IPv4, the E2E communicates with the cnWave radios using IPv6. Ethernet bridging...
  • Page 91 Prefix allocation Layer 2 domain All cnWave PoP nodes must be connected to the same Layer 2 broadcast domain. PoP nodes learn about other PoP nodes using IPv6 multicast packets, which do not cross broadcast domain. This allows cnWave PoP nodes to forward traffic to other cnWave PoP nodes via a wired connection when the routing path of the other PoP node is closer to the traffic’s destination.
