1.1 Equipment Model

The RTN 310 supports the split model.
The split RTN 310 consists of the outdoor access unit (OAU 1A) and ODU, which are connected
using an IF cable. See Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Split RTN 310
The OAU 1A performs service access, multiplexing, IF processing, system communication and
control. The ODU converts the frequency and amplifies the power of signals. The RTN 310 uses
the RTN XMC ODU, covering the entire frequency band from 6 GHz to 42 GHz. For details
about the RTN XMC ODU, see RTN XMC ODU Hardware Description.
The split RTN 310 can use the existing RTN XMC ODUs to implement zero footprint
installation.
NOTE
Unless otherwise specified, the RTN 310 mentioned in this document refers to the split RTN 310.
1.2 Positioning
The RTN 310 is used to provide transmission solutions with low network construction cost for
mobile communication networks and private networks.
Compared with the traditional split radio equipment, the RTN 310 supports full-outdoor
operating environment and zero footprint installation. Therefore, the RTN 310 can provide
Issue 03 (2015-03-15)


carriers with full-outdoor radio transmission solutions with low network construction cost and
operating expense.
The RTN 310 supports flexible networking. RTN 310s can form ring or chain backhaul networks
for various IP base stations on existing or new networks.
The RTN 310 supports 2048QAM, XPIC, PLA, and 1+1 HSB/FD/SD. It can provide highbandwidth backhaul links for high-capacity 3G/LTE base stations.
The main RTN 310 applications on mobile communication networks are as follows:
l
RTN 310 independently form tree or ring backhaul networks to provide links with high
capacity, bandwidth, and reliability for 3G/LTE base stations. See Figure 1-2.
The RTN 310 works with the ATN to provide a microwave channel solution for transparent
transmission on the IP RAN. See Figure 1-3.
When an existing OptiX RTN 900 IDU needs to be moved outdoors, the RTN 310's OAU
1A can replace the OptiX RTN 900 IDU. See Figure 1-4.

RTN 310s, which can be cascaded, are not only able to form 1+0 sites, but also 2+0, cross
polarization interference cancellation (XPIC), and 1+1 sites.
1.4.1 1+0 Sites

A 1+0 site provides a one-direction working microwave link.
In 1+0 mode, one single-polarized antenna is used. Depending on antenna specifications, an
ODU can be directly mounted on an antenna or connected to an antenna using accessories (split
mounting). An ODU is connected to an OAU 1A using an IF cable. The following figure uses
direct mounting as an example to show the typical configurations at a 1+0 site.
Issue 03 (2015-03-15)


Figure 1-5 Typical configurations at a 1+0 site (direct mounting)
1.4.2 2+0 Sites

A 2+0 site provides two one-direction unprotected microwave links.
At a 2+0 site, the ODUs of two RTN 310s are installed on the same hybrid coupler. The hybrid
coupler can be directly mounted on an antenna or connected to an antenna using accessories
(split mounting), depending on antenna specifications. Each ODU is connected to the
corresponding OAU 1A using an IF cable. The following figure uses direct mounting as an
example to show the typical configurations at a 2+0 site.
Generally, the two OptiX RTN 310s are cascaded using gigabit Ethernet (GE) optical ports for
physical link aggregation (PLA) configuration.
Issue 03 (2015-03-15)


Figure 1-6 Typical configurations at a 2+0 site (direct mounting)
1.4.3 XPIC Sites

Cross polarization interference cancellation (XPIC) sites are special 2+0 sites. The two
microwave links provided by an XPIC site operate at the same frequency, but their polarization
directions are orthogonal. Any signal interference between the two microwave links is
automatically canceled by the XPIC function.
Dual-polarized antennas are required at XPIC sites. If an antenna with a diameter less than or
equal to 1.8 m is used, the ODUs of two RTN 310s are installed on the same orthogonal mode
transducer (OMT). The OMT is directly mounted on the antenna. If an antenna with a diameter
greater than 1.8 m is used, the ODUs of two RTN 310s are installed separately from the antenna.
Each ODU is connected to the corresponding OAU 1A using an IF cable. The OAU 1As
exchange XPIC signals through their COMBO ports, which are connected using an optical fiber.
The following figure uses direct mounting as an example to show the typical configurations at
an XPIC site.
Generally, the two OptiX RTN 310s are cascaded using gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports for physical
link aggregation (PLA) configuration and exchange XPIC signals through COMBO ports. In
Issue 03 (2015-03-15)


this manner, two microwave links are aggregated to form a high-bandwidth logical Ethernet
channel and protection is implemented for the microwave links.

1.4.4 1+1 Sites

A 1+1 site provides a microwave link protection system that comprises one main microwave
link and one standby microwave link in the same direction. Depending on configurations, a 1
+1 site can provide 1+1 hot standby (HSB), 1+1 frequency diversity (FD), or 1+1 space diversity
(SD) protection for its microwave links.
Two typical configurations are available for a 1+1 site.

Figure 1-8 and Figure 1-9 use 1+1 HSB (direct mounting) as an example to illustrate typical
configurations at a 1+1 site.
1+1 site in Optical Splitter Mode

An optical splitter is used to split one channel of optical signals into multiple channels. An optical
splitter splits received GE optical signals into two channels, and transmits one channel to the
main RTN 310 and the other channel to the standby RTN 310. A GE fiber is used as a 1+1
cascade cable to connect the COMBO ports of the main and standby RTN 310s. The main and
standby RTN 310s exchange HSM, protection protocol, and DCN information through the
COMBO ports. See Figure 1-8.

Two RTN 310s can work with an LACP-supporting UNI-side device to implement 1+1
protection. The main and standby RTN 310s exchange 1+1 protection protocol packets using a

DCN information through the COMBO ports. See Figure 1-9.

2.1 Adaptive Modulation

Adaptive modulation (AM) technology automatically adjusts the modulation scheme based on
channel quality.
Modulation Scheme and Air-interface Capacity

When AM technology is enabled and the same channel spacing is used, the available radio
service bandwidth varies according to the modulation scheme: the higher the modulation
efficiency, the higher the bandwidth of the transmitted services.
l
When channel conditions are favorable (such as on sunny days), the equipment uses a
higher-order modulation scheme to transmit more user services. This improves
transmission efficiency and spectrum utilization of the system.
When channel conditions are unfavorable (such as on stormy or foggy days), the equipment
uses a lower-order modulation scheme to ensure that higher-priority services are
transmitted first. If some lower-priority queues become congested due to a lack of available
bandwidth, some or all interfaces in these queues are discarded. This method improves the
anti-interference capabilities of a microwave link and ensures link availability for highpriority services.
Modulation Scheme Shift and Service Priorities

For Ethernet services transmitted through IP microwave, priorities can be set based on the service
bandwidth and QoS policies corresponding to the current modulation scheme, to control service
transmission. The transmission of services with the highest priority is ensured.
With the QoS technology, ethernet services are scheduled to queues with different priorities.
The services in different queues are transmitted to the microwave port after running the queue
scheduling algorithm. When modulation scheme switching occurs, certain queues may be
congested due to insufficient capacity at the air interface. As a result, certain services or all the
services in these queues are discarded.
Adaptive Modulation
Figure 2-1 shows how the modulation scheme shifts step by step according to weather changes
and how modulation schemes affect service throughput and reliability. In this example, the
modulation scheme of guaranteed AM capacity is QPSK Strong and the modulation scheme of
full AM capacity is 256QAM.

modulation schemes. Strong and light indicate FEC coding strength. Strong FEC improves
receiver sensitivity by increasing error-correcting codes. Light FEC expands service
capacity by reducing error-correcting codes.
Can configure both the lowest-order modulation scheme (also called reference scheme or
modulation scheme of guaranteed AM capacity) and the highest-order modulation scheme
(also called nominal scheme or modulation scheme of full AM capacity).
Can switch modulation schemes without changing the transmit frequency, receive
frequency, or channel spacing.
Switches modulation schemes step-by-step.
Features hitless switching. When the modulation scheme is downshifted, high-priority

2.2 Cross-Polarization Interference Cancellation

Cross-polarization interference cancellation (XPIC) technology is used together with co-channel
dual-polarization (CCDP) to double the microwave link capacity over the same channel.
CCDP transmission uses a horizontally polarized wave and a vertically polarized wave on a
single channel to transmit two channels of signals. Ideally, for CCDP transmission, there should
be no interference between the two orthogonal signals, even though they are of the same
frequency. In actual practice, despite the orthogonal nature of the two signals, interference
between the signals inevitably occurs due to cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) of the
antenna and channel degradation. To eliminate this interference, XPIC technology is used to
receive signals horizontally and vertically. The signals in the two directions are then processed
and the original signals are recovered from interfered signals. Figure 2-2 shows the functional
block diagram of a scenario where XPIC is used together with CCDP.

One XPIC site requires two OptiX RTN 310s, with their COMBO ports connected by an XPIC
cable to transmit XPIC signals.
2.3 Automatic Transmit Power Control

Automatic transmit power control (ATPC) is a method that uses received signal level (RSL) of
the receiver to adjust transmit power within the ATPC control range. This feature reduces
interference to neighboring systems and residual bit error rate (BER).
When ATPC is enabled:
l
Issue 03 (2015-03-15)
If the RSL is 2 dB or more than 2 dB less than the value halfway between the upper and
lower ATPC thresholds, the receiver instructs the transmitter to increase transmit power so
that the RSL does not deviate more than 2 dB from the halfway value.

18

If the RSL is 2 dB or more than 2 dB greater than the value halfway between the upper and
lower ATPC thresholds, the receiver instructs the transmitter to reduce transmit power so
that the RSL does not deviate more than 2 dB from the halfway value.
Figure 2-3 shows the relationship between the RSL and the transmit signal level (TSL).

2.4 Power over Ethernet

RTN 310 provides a P&E port through which it supports power over Ethernet (PoE) as a powered
device (PD).
In PoE mode, an outdoor network cable carries Ethernet service signals along with DC power
signals. PoE has the following advantages:
l
Reduces the number of power cables and simplifies installation.
Enables RTN 310 to share power supplies with small cell base stations.
An RTN 310 works with a power injector (PI) to implement power over Ethernet through its
P&E port. One PI can power only one RTN 310. See Figure 2-4.

RTN 310 works with its network management system (NMS) to prevent unauthorized logins
and operations, ensuring equipment management security.
Overview of Hardware Security

RTN 310 uses the following hardware security measures:
l
Microwave ports: The forward error correction (FEC) encoding mode is adopted and the
adaptive time-domain equalizer for baseband signals is used. This enables the microwave
ports to withstand strong interference. An interceptor cannot restore the content in a data
frame if coding details and service configurations are not obtained.
Modular design: Control units are separated from service units, and service units are
separated from each other. In this manner, a fault on any unit can be isolated, minimizing
the impact of the fault on other units in the system.
CPU flow control: The data flow sent to the CPU for processing is classified and controlled
to prevent CPU resources from being exhausted by a large number of packets. This ensures
that the CPU operates properly under attacks.
Issue 03 (2015-03-15)

32

Management port control: The protective cover for the maintenance compartment is kept
closed when the management port is not being used, preventing unauthorized access.
Overview of Software Security

RTN 310 processes two types of data: O&M data and service data. The two types of data are
transmitted over independent paths and do not affect each other. This enables services running
on an RTN 310 to be processed on two planes:
l
Management plane
The management plane provides access to the required equipment and management
functions, such as managing accounts and passwords, communication protocols, and alarm
reporting. Security features on the management plane implement secure access, integrated
security management, and all-round security audits.
Data plane
The data plane processes the service data flow entering the equipment and forwards service
packets according to the forwarding table. Security features on the data plane ensure
confidentiality and integration of user data by preventing malicious theft, modification, and
removal of user service packets. These features ensure reliable data forwarding by
protecting forwarding entries against malicious attacks and falsification.

NOTE
l The throughput specifications in the preceding tables are based on the following conditions:
l Frame header compression disabled: untagged Ethernet frames with a length from 64 bytes to 9600
bytes
l L2 frame header compression enabled: untagged Ethernet frames with a length from 64 bytes to
9600 bytes
l L2+L3 frame header compression (IPv4) enabled: tagged Ethernet frames with a length from 70
bytes to 9600 bytes
l L2+L3 frame header compression (IPv6) enabled: tagged Ethernet frames with a length from 90
bytes to 9600 bytes
l The difference between strong/light modulation schemes and normal modulation schemes lies in FEC
encoding parameters. Strong modulation schemes have stronger error correction capabilities, which
result in higher receiver sensitivity but lower air interface bandwidth. Light modulation schemes have
poorer error correction capabilities, which result in lower receiver sensitivity but higher air interface
bandwidth.
l If AES-based encryption at air interfaces is enabled for an NE, the microwave service capacity of the
NE decreases by 300 kbit/s or less.
6.1.2 Channel Configuration

The OptiX RTN 310 supports three channel configuration modes: adjacent channel co-polarized
(ACCP), adjacent channel alternate polarization (ACAP), and co-channel dual polarization
(CCDP).
ACCP
ACCP allows signals to be transmitted over the electromagnetic waves in the same polarization
direction on two adjacent channels. See Figure 6-1.
Figure 6-1 ACCP
ACCP
f1
f2
ACAP
ACAP allows signals to be transmitted over the horizontally polarized electromagnetic wave
and vertically polarized electromagnetic wave on two adjacent channels. See Figure 6-2.

6.1.3 Receiver Sensitivity

Receiver sensitivity shows the anti-fading capability of the radio equipment.
NOTE
Unless otherwise specified, the receiver sensitivity values in the table are valid when different types of
ODUs are used. However, the frequency bands and modulation schemes supported by different types of
ODUs are different.
N/A means that microwave working mode is not supported.

7.1 DC Power Injector
A DC power injector (PI) uses DC input power. It transmits both GE service signals and -48 V
power signals to an RTN 310 through an Ethernet cable.
7.2 Dock
Dock is a type of outdoor power sourcing equipment (PSE) with the built-in Layer 2 switching
function. It often provides power to both RTN 310 and Huawei small cell base stations.
7.3 Optical Splitter
An optical splitter is used to split one channel of optical signals into multiple channels. It has an
outdoor fiber access terminal for housing its main module, the optical splitting module. By
working with an optical splitter, OptiX RTN 310 can implement 1+1 HSB/FD/SD and PLA.
7.4 USB Flash Drives
Configuring, replacing, and upgrading RTN 310s is simple with USB flash drives, which store
NE data and new software to be installed and are also used to back up configuration data.

7.4 USB Flash Drives

Configuring, replacing, and upgrading RTN 310s is simple with USB flash drives, which store
NE data and new software to be installed and are also used to back up configuration data.

USB flash drives prepared for RTN 310s store NE software and configuration data (including
databases, system parameters, and scripts).
l
Equipment software and scripts stored in USB flash drives are installed on RTN 310s for
deployment and commissioning. With this system, users do not need to configure data
onsite.
Software, patch packages, NE databases, and system parameters are backed up to USB
flash drives. This avoids the need to reconfigure data when replacing a RTN 310.
Software of target versions stored in USB flash drives is imported to RTN 310s.
Security features:
The administrator accounts and passwords (encrypted) in the RTN.CER or
RTNEXTRA.CER file are used to authenticate USB flash drives.
Other files in USB flash drives can be encrypted.
The validity of files in USB flash drives can be verified.
Issue 03 (2015-03-15)

7 Accessories
Application Scenario
l
For deployment and commissioning of an RTN 310, scripts, and software are stored on a
USB flash drive. After the USB flash drive is plugged in and functioning, the RTN 310
downloads software, and scripts in sequence.
For an upgrade or downgrade of an RTN 310, only the software of the target version is
stored on a USB flash drive. After the USB flash drive is plugged in and functioning, the
RTN 310 compares the versions of the running software and the software stored on the
USB flash drive. If the versions are not the same, the RTN 310 automatically downloads
the software from the USB flash drive for an upgrade or downgrade.
During RTN 310 replacement, an empty USB flash drive is inserted into a faulty device,
which automatically backs up its data to the drive. After the faulty device is replaced, the
drive holding the backup data is inserted into the new device, which automatically
downloads the backup NE data, software, and system parameters and restores the NE data.
Data uploading
A USB flash drive contains the following folders:
NOTE
The USB flash drive partition format is FAT32.
The root directory stores an RTN.CER/RTNEXTRA.CER file and a USBSEC.CFG file

(security policy file).
NOTE
l The RTN.CER/RTNEXTRA.CER file, which stores administrator-level account and password

information (with password information encrypted), is used for authenticating the USB flash
drive. The file is generated by a system administrator at the network management center (NMC)
using a dedicated tool.
l The USBSEC.CFG file stores the list of available files in the USB flash drive and the verification
information and encryption parameters of each file. When the files in the USB flash drive are
being loaded to an NE, the NE verifies and decrypts the files based on the USBSEC.CFG file.
If a file is not in the file list in the USBSEC.CFG file or a file fails to be verified or decrypted,
the file cannot be used by the NE.
pkg: stores the NE software.
NOTICE
Data is saved in the \pkg folder only when the NE software is upgraded. Otherwise, keep
the folder empty.
l
patch: stores the patch software.
sysdata: stores system parameters.
script: stores scripts.
db: stores NE databases.
license: stores a license.

NOTE
The license directory cannot be backed up or restored. It is usually empty.

118

7 Accessories
When a USB flash drive is connected to an RTN 310, the RTN 310 checks the folders on the
USB flash drive in the following order:
1.
Checks for the RTN.CER or RTNEXTRA.CER file in the root directory. If the file exists,
the USB flash drive is authenticated. Otherwise, the USB flash drive fails to be identified.
2.
Checks the USBSEC.CFG file in the root directory, and verifies the integrity of files in
the USB flash drive and decrypts the files based on the USBSEC.CFG file.
3.
Checks the NE software folder pkg. If the NE software version is different from that of the
local RTN 310, the RTN 310 upgrades its software.
4.
Checks the patch software folder patch. If the patch software version is different from that
of the local RTN 310, the RTN 310 loads the patch software from the folder.
5.
Checks the system parameter folder sysdata. If the folder contains data, the RTN 310
imports system parameters from the folder.
6.
Checks the script folder script. If the folder contains data, the RTN 310 imports script data
from the folder.
7.
Checks the database folder db. If the folder contains data and the device type under
\Devicetype is the same as the NE device type, the RTN 310 loads the database from the
folder.
8.
If any of the preceding folders contains no data or does not exist, the RTN 310 checks the
next folder. If the RTN 310 finds none of the preceding folders, it exports its data to the
USB flash drive.
Ensure that USB flash drives have only the preceding folders, as extra folders may lead to
malfunctions.
NOTE
A device reads data from a USB flash drive at different rates in different scenarios. The user can check
whether the device is reading data from a USB flash drive by observing the USB port or USB flash drive
indicator.
Types of USB Flash Drives

Table 7-15 lists the types of USB flash drives supported by RTN 310. Not all USB flash drives
are supported by RTN 310. If a USB flash drive of another model or capacity is required, confirm
with the local Huawei office that the USB flash drive is supported by RTN 310.

NOTE
l Straight-through cables are used between MDIs and MDI-Xs, and crossover cables are used between
MDIs or between MDI-Xs. The only difference between straight-through cables and crossover cables
is with regard to their pin assignments.
l Either straight-through cables or crossover cables can be used to connect RTN 310 to common Ethernet
equipment since Ethernet electrical ports support the MDI, MDI-X, and auto-MDI/MDI-X modes. If
RTN 310 connects to power sourcing equipment (PSE) through a P&E port, pin assignments for power
signals output from the PSE determines whether to use straight-through cables or crossover cables.
l A network cable transmits power signals and Ethernet signals simultaneously. Therefore, the
impedance difference between cores of a network cable must be less than 5%; otherwise, Ethernet
service packets may be lost.
