    Executive Summary

    Organizations o all types have experienced a continuing increase in demand or high-bandwidth wireless

    communications to support a wide variety o data, voice and video applications. This increasing demand has

    accelerated the need or high throughput wireless links at a time when most inormation technology (IT)

    budgets and stafng have decreased. One way to meet this challenge is to do more with what you have.

    Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) technology can help you do just that. Designed to help increasethroughput over a radio link while making efcient use o the existing spectrum, ACM unctionality adapts

    coding and modulation rates to changing environmental conditions. With ACM, you can turn ade margin

    into increased throughput and improve link availability. This capability can provide signifcant savings in both

    capital expenditure (CAPEX) and overall operating expenditure (OPEX).

    This paper explains how ACM can help you achieve these results with your existing or planned Motorola

    Point-to-Point (PTP) 800 Wireless Licensed Ethernet Microwave solutions.

    Introduction

    The universal demand or added throughput is being driven by the growth o multimedia applications.

    Currently, video-dominated content accounts or an ever-increasing percentage o the multimedia mix.

    Business and government enterprises need high-perormance connectivity and backhaul to support

    bandwidth-intensive applications such as on-demand tutorials, video conerencing, online training, media

    relations, product demonstrations, Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and video surveillance. At the same time, consumers

    want access to services such as online gaming, social networking and on-demand television.

    Motorolas PTP 800 Licensed Ethernet Microwave solutions are high-capacity wireless broadband radios

    designed to efciently and aordably transport multimedia trafc. However, as with all microwave

    radios, PTP 800 systems can experience rain ade and multipath intererence which can adversely aect

    microwave transmissions. ACM can eliminate or greatly minimize the eects o rain ade and multipath

    intererence.

    Traditionally, licensed microwave radios have supported only the Fixed Modulation mode. However, PTP

    800 systems, release 02-00 and higher, support both Fixed Modulation and ACM. In the fxed mode,

    signifcant ade margin is reserved during the link planning process to provide adequate link availability in

    case o rain ade or multipath intererence.

    Fade Margin = Dierence between Mean Receive Signal Level (Rx)

    and Receiver Threshold at a Given Modulation Mode

    When the ACM mode is chosen, the ACM eature can turn reserved ade margin into increased link

    capacity. Without any hardware change, ACM can maximize throughput by automatically adapting to a

    higher modulation and coding rate. When a radio is working in a Fixed Modulation mode, a severe rain

    storm can cause a link outage when the rain ade exceeds the reserved ade margin. In contrast, ACM

    can keep the link in service and improve the link availability with lower throughput by adapting to a lower

    modulation mode.

    ACM is a standard eature on PTP 800 systems and requires no additional charge. The major advantages o

    Motorolas ACM implementation include:

    Hitless and Errorless ACM: No bit errors or suspension o trafc ow during modulation shits

    Up to 8 levels o ACM profle; supports QPSK, 8PSK, 16/32/64/128/256 QAM with dierent coding rates

    Quick modulation shits to cope with up to 100 dB/sec ading

    Easy initial setup; no urther user intervention Flexible control; users defne the highest and lowest modulation or ACM

    Easy link planning with the PTP LINKPlanner tool

    ACM Overview

    ACM is an alternate link adaptation method that promises to raise the overall system throughput and

    improve the link availability. When ACM is enabled, the radio automatically up-shits and down-shits

    the modulation and/or coding rate as radio requency (RF) path conditions change. This enables the radio

    transmitter and receiver to negotiate the highest mutually sustainable data rate or the path conditions.

    In order to achieve high link availability, a typical licensed microwave link reserves 30 to 40 dB or ade

    margin. For a radio confgured to use Fixed Modulation, the radios nominal receive signal level will be muchhigher than the receiver sensitivity threshold o the desired modulation.

    For a radio operating in the fxed mode and designed with 99.999% link availability, the average link outage

    would be 5.3 minutes in a year. This projected outage would be a result o the receive signal level alling

    below the receivers sensitivity threshold. With ACM technology, the radio will down-shit to a lower

    modulation i the link budget alls below the threshold that the link can sustain.

    Lets consider an example based on a link with a 56 MHz channel operating in the ACM mode. When the

    RF condition is good, the radio will work at top mode 256 QAM with a 0.91 coding rate and deliver 368

    Mbps (ull duplex) throughput. When the links Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) alls below the threshold o 256

    QAM with 0.91 coding, the system will switch to the next lower ACM profle 256 QAM with a coding rate

    o 0.80 and deliver 347 Mbps throughput. The switchover will be errorless and hitless, meaning there will

    be no bit error or trafc ow suspension.

    I the ade intensifes, the radio will shit down to the next ACM profle, 128 QAM, and deliver 303 Mbps

    throughput. Should the RF condition continue to worsen, the modulation will move down step-by-step as

    the weather condition requires. ACM and enhanced quality-o-service (QoS) control allow high-priority trafc

    such as voice and real-time services to pass across the link without difculty.

    When the weather condition improves, the radio will automatically switch to the next higher modulation

    mode. In this case, the radio would shit rom 128 QAM back to 256 QAM. Switching is always automatic

    and perormed as quickly as necessary. The PTP 800s ACM unctionality is designed to cope with up to 100

    dB o ading per second.

    The consequences o a link outage are oten multiplied, even when the RF link is lost or only 50 milliseconds

    Due to TCP/IP timeout, re-routing and recovery, it could easily take several seconds or a TCP/IP session to be

    ully recovered. With exceptionally smooth change steps rom QPSK to 256 QAM and errorless and hitless

    coding and modulation, the PTP 800 incurs no service interruption as the modulation steps rom one level to

    another. In this way, ACM can eliminate the link outage time.

    Key Benefts o ACM

    When utilizing ACM technology, you can realize several benefts, including:

    Improved Spectrum Efciency: Most o the time, the radio will work at top rate mode and provide a

    higher average throughput to the end user. Improved Link Availability: By shiting to a lower modulation mode and the resulting improvement in

    receive signal quality, extra ade margin will be achieved to deliver higher link availability.

    Minimal Link Outage Damage: By keeping the link in service with a lower capacity during deep ade

    conditions, ACM greatly minimizes the consequences o a wireless link outage due to TCP/IP layer

    timeout, re-routing and recovery.

    CAPEX and OPEX Savings: On PTP 800 systems, there is no additional cost to enable ACM. Once

    the easy set-up is completed, no urther intervention is required. With Motorolas PTP LINKPlanner, link

    planning with ACM can be completed quickly and easily, oten in a matter o hours rather than days. Plus,

    with ACM, the operator has the option to reduce the antenna size and/or connect over a longer distance

    than with radios operating in a fxed mode.

    How ACM Works

    Operators can enable ACM radios using the installation wizard rom the PTP 800 Graphical User Interace

    (GUI) web page. There are two parameters that defne the range o the modulation modes:

    Max Mod Mode defnes the highest modulation mode at which the radio can operate

    Min Mod Mode defnes the lowest modulation mode at which the radio can operate

    Each link direction can adapt the modulation mode independently o the other direction. Ater the minimumand maximum modulation modes are defned, the Maximum Tx Power will be limited by the maximum

    transmit power o the highest modulation mode.

    Latency or a given mode in ACM is the same as or the same mode in Fixed Modulation.

    In operation, the radio will adapt between the Max Mod Mode and the Min Mod Mode based on

    measurements o received signal quality. As the receive signal quality improves, the radio will adapt to

    higher modulations which will provide greater throughput. As the receive signal quality deteriorates, the

    radio will adapt to lower modulations which will provide lower throughput but greater robustness. Each

    modulation mode has two thresholds:

    One threshold or up-shiting when the signal quality improves

    One threshold or down-shiting when the signal quality degrades

    Typical ACM ApplicationsACM is designed to improve PTP 800 perormance in changing environmental conditions. That improved

    perormance provides signifcant value or the many varied applications or which PTP 800 systems are

    deployed, including:

    Building-to-building and campus connectivity Last-mile extensions

    Ethernet data, voice and video communications Disaster recovery Backhaul Wire-line redundancy

    Video surveillance Distance learning

    Voice-over-IP (VoIP) WiMAX and/or LTE backhaul

    Leased-line replacement

    Businesses, government and educational agencies, health care providers, utility companies, transportation

    agencies, service providers, carriers and others use PTP solutions to establish or expand their wireless

    networks. I a radio cannot send and receive inormation because o rain ade or multipath intererence,

    your wireless link is not doing the ull job.

    ACM can help you improve link availability and increase throughput without changing hardware. The key is

    to evaluate your environmental challenges and enable ACM where the technology will help you overcome

    rain and intererence challenges. The ollowing case studies provide detailed inormation on how ACM canbe applied to specifc situations and requirements.

    When changing rom Fixed Modulation mode to ACM, the minimum and maximum modulation modes

    must be set properly to maintain the same link availability with a guaranteed minimum throughput. The

    Min Mod Mode must remain the same modulation as with the fxed mode and the Max Mod Mode

    needs to be the highest modulation that the link can sustain to meet the link availability requirement. These

    setup changes can be done easily using the PTP LINKPlanner tool.

    In this example, the objective is to achieve the highest possible throughput with ACM while minimizing

    Motorolas Approach to ACMWith more than six years o experience in implementing ACM on the PTP 500 and PTP 600 unlicensed

    radios, we have developed considerable expertise in this area. We know how to engineer hitless and

    errorless technology with smooth, high-speed modulation shits. Equally important, ease o use has

    always been a paramount objective or all our Wireless Network Solutions.

    In particular, the ACM provided with PTP 800 Licensed Ethernet Microwave solutions has severaladvantages over comparable systems, including:

    Support or QPSK, 8PSK, 16/32/64/128 QAM, 256 QAM with 0.83 coding rate and 256 QAM with 0.91

    coding rate up to eight levels o modulation and coding.

    Hitless and errorless modulation no bit errors or suspension o trafc ow during shiting

    Flexible control operators can defne the maximum and minimum modulation modes

    Fast shiting ACM can cope with up to 100 dB/sec ading change

    Easy setup The installation wizard guides operators through a quick confguration procedure. Because

    the regulatory rules have been embedded into the link installation wizard, you do not have to worry about

    violating licensing rules when ACM is enabled. Ater initial setup, no urther user intervention is required.

    Fast, accurate link planning With PTP LINKPlanner, both the Fixed and ACM modes are supported. Plus

    LINKPlanner includes many sophisticated eatures that greatly reduce link planning man-hours and allow

    you to easily review and compare perormance parameters to confgure the solution which best meets

    your requirements.

    Summary

    The principle o Adaptive Coding and Modulation is simple: to enable uninterrupted communications

    in poor RF conditions and increase throughput during good RF conditions. ACM accomplishes that by

    automatically adjusting modulation and/or coding rates to adapt to changes in environmental conditions. In

    poor conditions, ACM will automatically shit the modulation and/or coding rate to a lower level to maintain

    an uninterrupted ow o data, voice and video communications. In good conditions, ACM will shit the

    modulation and/or coding rate to a higher level to deliver aster throughput. In contrast, systems operatingin a Fixed Modulation mode are designed or worst-case conditions, resulting in less efcient utilization o

    the spectrum.

    ACM can oer signifcant benefts, including:

    Maximized spectrum efciency

    Increased link capacity

    Improved link availability

    Reduced antenna size

    Extended link distance

    In addition, Motorolas ACM experience and expertise can help you deploy the best solution or your

    individual situation. Easy-to-use link planning and deployment tools are great time savers or wireless

    network stas that are already stretched too thin.

    These benefts can help you stretch your wireless dollar much urther and help your Motorola PTP 800

    solutions work much smarter.
