Overview
Overview
Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiHopper XC Microwave Radio (later referred to as FlexiHopper XC) is a reliable and flexible microwave radio, which can be used in diverse transmission networks: mobile networks, fixed networks or private networks. FlexiHopper XC is a member of the Nokia Siemens Networks Hopper Microwave Radio family, and it offers transmission capacities of 2 x 2 Mbit/ s, 4 x 2 Mbit/s, 8 x 2 Mbit/s or 16 x 2 Mbit/s in 4-state modulation (QPSK) and 8 x 2 Mbit/s, 16 x 2 Mbit/s or 40 x 2 Mbit/s in 16-state modulation (16QAM). FlexiHopper XC has a so-called split-mount architecture; it consists of an outdoor unit, FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit and an indoor unit, Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiHub (later referred to as FlexiHub), which provides baseband connectivity and is typically located indoors. The element management of FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit is performed by Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiHub Manager (later referred to as FlexiHub Manager) through the FlexiHub. FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit has a consistent network management system interface for Nokia Siemens Networks NetAct (later referred to as NetAct), as with other Nokia Siemens Networks transmission products. Release 2.2 documentation includes two separate product descriptions: one for FlexiHub and one for FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit. Therefore, information regarding FlexiHub can be found in Product Description for Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiHub. Note that Product Description for Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit includes references to the material contained in the Product Description for Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiHub, and therefore it is advised to have access to both documents. Transmission capacity FlexiHopper XC is available for the 7 GHz, 15 GHz, 18 GHz, 23 GHz, 38 GHz and, starting from release 2.2, 13 GHz, frequency bands.
5 (74)
All frequency bands are available with 4-state modulation (QPSK) and 16state modulation (16-QAM). 16-QAM has the advantages of a narrow spectrum and good output power efficiency. For more information on available transmission capacities and frequency bands, see Transmission capacities and frequency bands. Installation The FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit can be installed on a roof, wall, or pole. The FlexiHopper antenna and FlexiHopper Alignment Unit can be installed on either side of a pole. Normally, no loose parts are needed in the installation of the alignment unit and the Outdoor Unit. The Outdoor Unit and the antenna are fitted with guides, which prevent installation in conflicting polarisations. FlexiHopper XC uses the same FlexiHopper antennas and FlexiHopper Alignment Unit as the rest of FlexiHopper family, which make a possible upgrade to FlexiHopper XC easy, as no antenna re-alignment is needed. For more information, see Installing Hardware for Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiHopper XC. Management system FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit can be controlled and managed both locally and remotely through the FlexiHub, using FlexiHub Manager. The Manager features an easy-to-use graphical user interface. One of the important Manager features is a Commissioning Wizard that guides you through the radio hop commissioning tasks. In FlexiHopper XC, NetAct can be used to monitor alarms and performance statistics when the Q1 management interface is used. When using an IP-based management interface, only alarms can be monitored. In the network management system, FlexiHub Manager can be used remotely only with IP DCN management interfaces for remote configuration management. For more information, see FlexiHub Manager under FlexiHub management in Product Description for Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiHub.

2.1
Applications
Network applications
FlexiHopper XC is a high-capacity microwave radio operating in conjunction with a hub solution - FlexiHub. Together they provide an optimal answer to a wide range of wireless access needs in various network environments, both in cellular and fixed applications. FlexiHub and FlexiHopper XC are mainly applied in cellular base station backhauling. In addition, they can be used for:
.
corporate access applications, and providing temporary high-capacity wireless link for voice and/or data applications.
For more information about the FlexiHub, see Product Description for Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiHub.
2.2
Mobile transport network applications

FlexiHopper XC radios are mainly used in macrocellular sites, often in collocated 2G and 3G base stations. Because of a vast increase in voice and data traffic in mobile networks, not only higher capacity microwave radios are demanded, but also outstanding capabilities of the whole backhauling network to support its growth and frequent changes. FlexiHub offers higher amount and larger variety of transmission interfaces for Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi EDGE BTS. In a typical hub and spoke topology networks, FlexiHub provides flexibility in network expansion and capacity upgrades. It also significantly reduces the amount of cabling and installation work at the site.
9 (74)
FlexiHub provides an efficient solution to small and medium sized hub sites. With FlexiHub it is possible to directly connect up to 11 microwave radios (Outdoor Units). Connectivity between different radio directions is organised through the software configuration of a single FlexiHub, either locally or remotely. Centralised management system for remote FlexiHub commissioning allows significant reduction of the operational costs. Figure FlexiHub in a mobile transport network shows a typical mobile network where FlexiHub is deployed.

Applications
FlexiHopper XC is especially suitable for any radio link where the expected growth in capacity may exceed 16E1, but can also be used for any link from 2E1 to 40E1. FlexiHub together with FlexiHopper XC scales from low capacity up to 40E1 equivalent capacity per radio hop. However, it is mainly used in the higher network level, while the FlexiHopper and FlexiHopper Plus microwave radios are used in the lower capacity branches of the network.

Site configuration example

Figure Site configuration example 1 shows an example site configuration. In this example the high-capacity microwave radio link towards the aggregation network is implemented with FlexiHopper XC. The lower capacity downlinks are implemented with FlexiHopper microwave radios. The FlexiHub provides connectivity between different radio directions as well as connection to the local base station(s). Connection to the base station is done with 8E1 PIU, or, alternatively, with Sub-2M CCU PIU. In case of 8E1 PIU, It is possible to choose either symmetric (120 ohm) or asymmetric (75 ohm) cabling.

The high capacity microwave radio link to the fibre access site is implemented with FlexiHopper XC. FlexiHub provides connectivity to the base stations. FlexiHopper XC 40E1 interfaces are implemented as symmetrical G.703 interfaces. The 40E1 interfaces are split into two connectors and each carries 20 x 2 Mbit/s traffic. The E1 signals are wired to a Data Distribution Frame (DDF) with bundle cables as shown in the following figure. For example, DDF is used to interface with other equipment at the site. See figure Site configuration example 2.

Features
FlexiHopper XC features overview
The FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit supports the following features:
.
3.5, 7, 14, 28 MHz channel spacing, QPSK and 16-QAM modulations with Reed-Solomon forward error correction (FEC), powerful adaptive transversal equaliser against multipath propagation, received signal level measurement, ALCQ (Automatic Level Control with Quality measurement) and ATPC (Automatic Transmit Power Control) for monitoring the received signal level with the BER of the receiver, in order to adjust the far-end transmitter output power to adapt to the fading conditions, and 1+1 hot standby (HSB) protection with two FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Units connected to duplicate indoor PIUs.
It is easy to perform an upgrade from FlexiHopper to FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit since no antenna re-alignment is needed. FlexiHopper XC uses the same FlexiHopper Antennas and FlexiHopper Alignment Units as the rest of the FlexiHopper family. Channel spacing is not limited to the mentioned above values. It is possible to adjust channel spacing by incrementally increasing/decreasing the value with the 10 kHz steps. Depending on the market area, it is possible to use other channel spacing values, for example 5, 7.5, 13.75 and 27.5 MHz at 18 GHz. For more information, see Technical specifications.

3.2
Transmission capacities and frequency bands

Each FlexiHopper XC 2.2 Outdoor Unit can support up to 40E1 transmission capacity. The capacity allowed for a specific Outdoor Unit is defined by the factory-installed SW licences and the FlexiHub XC Main Unit variant. FlexiHopper XC is available for the 7 GHz, 13 GHz, 15 GHz, 18 GHz, 23 GHz, and 38 GHz frequency bands. All frequency bands are available with 4-state modulation (QPSK) and 16- state modulation (16-QAM). The radio transmission capacities of 4-state modulation are 2 x 2 Mbit/s, 4 x 2 Mbit/s, 8 x 2 Mbit/s or 16 x 2 Mbit/s. The channel spacing is 3.5 MHz, 7.0 MHz, 14.0 MHz or 28.0 MHz accordingly. The radio transmission capacities of 16-state modulation are 8 x 2 Mbit/s, 16 x 2 Mbit/s or 40 x 2 Mbit/s. The channel spacing is 7.0 MHz, 14.0 MHz or 28.0 MHz accordingly. For more information, see Technical specifications.
3.3
Capacity and modulation licencing

Licences that define FlexiHopper XC capacity and modulation mode are tied to the FlexiHub XC Main Unit and are currently not upgradable in the field. FlexiHopper XC can support up to 40E1 transmission capacity, but the capacity allowed for the FlexiHopper XC is defined by the factoryinstalled software licences and the FlexiHub XC Main Unit variant. The licences have to be ordered separately in addition to the correct FlexiHub XC Main Unit variant. See table Capacity and modulation licences needed for the list of required licenses.

3.4
ALCQ and ATPC

ALCQ (Adaptive Level Control with Quality measurement) is a method of Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC). FlexiHopper XC offers both standard ATPC and the more sophisticated ALCQ. ATPC and ALCQ enable the radio transmitter to increase or decrease the transmit power automatically, according to the response received from the other end of the hop. This approach achieves more efficient utilisation of radio frequencies than the constant power level approach. The controlled use of transmit power reduces interference between systems, which, in turn, allows tighter packing of radio links within the same geographical area or at network star points. The maximum transmit power is set with FlexiHub Manager or other employed management application. However, when ATPC or ALCQ is in use, the radio always tries to transmit at minimum power. The idea behind ALCQ is to monitor the received signal level together with the bit error ratio (BER) of the receiver, and to adjust the far-end transmitter output power to adapt to the fading conditions. According to this invention, the bit errors detected by the forward error correction (FEC) decoder are interpreted as pseudo-errors, and further, used as an additional input for ALCQ operation. In other words, this method can respond to degradation of signal quality before actual bit errors occur over the radio relay. If the fading increases rapidly (multipath fading), the radio reacts immediately by increasing the power, but not higher than the set maximum value. After the fading conditions resume to normal, the power is gradually decreased. ALCQ also reacts to slow changes in the fading conditions by gradually increasing the transmit power.
17 (74)
ATPC (Automatic Transmit Power Control) is similar to ALCQ but without BER measurement. ATPC controls the far-end transmit power level in order to maintain the receive signal level above a certain user-defined threshold level for the particular modulation method and capacity being used. The selection between ALCQ and ATPC can be made using FlexiHub Manager.
3.5
1+1 hot standby (HSB) protected configuration

1+1 HSB protected configuration mode ensures high reliability for the FlexiHub and the FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit. In this configuration, two alternative data paths exist. The data flow path will be switched in case of hardware failure in the current path. In 1+1 HSB protected configuration mode, the data flows from the upper radio through the FlexiHub slots 3 and 6, or from the lower radio through slots 1 and 4 towards 40E1 IF PIU installed in slot 5. In 1+1 HSB protected configuration mode, FlexiHub XC Main Unit is duplicated. The 40E1 LIC PIU can also be duplicated, if it is required to protect E1 interfaces. In that case, two 40E1 LIC PIUs should be installed in slots 4 and 6. This configuration enables protection of the E1 interfaces and ensures efficiency and high reliability. 1+1 HSB protected configuration is also possible when one 40E1 IF and one 40E1 LIC plug-in units are installed in the FlexiHub, but in that case there is no protection for the E1 interfaces. When using 8E1 PIU instead of 40E1 IF PIU, 8E1 PIU doesn't have to be duplicated since it is not protected in 1+1 HSB configuration. The radio of the Outdoor Unit must be duplicated as well. In the configuration with two radios installed, one of them acts as primary and the other one as protecting. Figure FlexiHopper XC 1+1 HSB protected configuration illustrates FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit connection to the FlexiHub. Note that the protecting radio is connected to the protecting FlexiHub XC Main Unit (slot 3), and the primary radio - to the primary FlexiHub XC Main Unit (slot 1).

Antenna port
A Flexbus cable is used to connect the FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit to the FlexiHub. The cable carries data between the FlexiHub and FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit in full-duplex mode. It also carries the required DC power from the FlexiHub to the Outdoor Unit. On the modem board, the DC voltage and the data signals are separated from each other. DC voltage is converted to multiple DC voltage levels in the power supply of the modem board and those voltage levels are delivered to other units of the Outdoor Unit. The modem board also includes the embedded microprocessor system, which is used to control all units within the Outdoor Unit as well as to communicate with the FlexiHub and the far-end radio. The interface between the modem board and the RF parts consists of analog I and Q signals. In the transmitter (Tx) part, the data coming from the cable is demodulated and reshaped in such a manner that it can be sent over the radio interface. The modulation of the Tx signal happens in the modem ASIC (ApplicationSpecific Integrated Circuit) that also takes care of the Reed-Solomon encoding as well as Tx filtering. The modem ASIC supplies the TxI and TxQ signals through the digital-toanalog converters to RF functions. In the transmitter, direct conversion architecture has been implemented to enable the use of a single microwave local oscillator. After the up-conversion, the signal is amplified enough in order to attain the required maximum output power level. A temperature-compensated power detector is used to monitor the power level after the high-power amplifier, and to drive the voltage variable attenuator in order to obtain the required output power level. On the receiver (Rx) side, single intermediate frequency (IF) conversion architecture is used. After the low-noise amplifier (LNA), the received signal is down-converted to the IF. The automatic gain control (AGC) is used to obtain a constant rms-power level for the I/Q-demodulator. In the I/Q-demodulator, the IF signals are converted to RxI and RxQ signals, which are supplied to the modem ASIC through the analog-todigital converters. Modem ASIC carries out Rx filtering, adaptive equalisation, timing and carrier recovery, decision making and Reed-Solomon decoding. The demodulated data is then converted to the format that can be transmitted to the FlexiHub through the Flexbus cable.

4.2
Antennas
FlexiHopper antennas are available in eight sizes: 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240 and 300 cm. The polarisation of the antenna can be easily changed by rotating the Outdoor Unit and the antenna feeder through 90.
Figure 7.
FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit with an integrated 30 cm FlexiHopper antenna and FlexiHopper Alignment Unit
The Outdoor Unit is directly connected to a small (20, 30, or 60 cm) single antenna by using the FlexiHopper Alignment Unit or to a larger (90, 120 and 180 cm) single antenna by using a snap-on adapter. No waveguides are needed. The alignment is carried out by using a ratchet or a batteryoperated screwdriver. All antennas can be used separately by connecting a flexible waveguide between the antenna and the radio. Larger antennas (240 cm and 300 cm) can only be installed separately. 2.4 m single polarised (SP) antenna is also available with a split reflector option and the 3.0 m antennas are delivered only with the split reflector option.
23 (74)
FlexiHopper XC uses the same FlexiHopper antennas and FlexiHopper Alignment Units as the rest of FlexiHopper family, which make a possible upgrade to FlexiHopper XC easy, as no antenna re-alignment is needed. For more detailed information, see Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiHopper XC Antennas, Alignment Units and Electrical Specifications.
4.3
Powering concept
The power is supplied to the FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit from the FlexiHub. The FlexiHopper XC has an N connector (female) and the FlexiHub has a TNC connector (female). The units are connected together with a single coaxial Flexbus cable, that carries required DC power and digital baseband data from the FlexHub to the FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit. On the modem board, the DC voltage and the data signals are separated from each other. DC voltage is converted to multiple DC voltage levels in the power supply of the modem board and those voltage levels are delivered to other units of the Outdoor Unit. For the block-diagram of the FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit, see Functional units. The low power consumption of the FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit results in high reliability and a long running time on battery backup. For the power consumption values, see Outdoor unit power supply. In single configuration mode, one FlexiHub XC Main Unit provides the power needed for the FlexiHopper XC. In 1+1 HSB protected configuration mode, the two FlexiHub XC Main Units share the power loading. The load sharing is implemented with active load balancing, which ensures efficiency and reliability, as the load is equally distributed between the redundant power supplies. For more information on powering of the FlexiHub, see Powering concept in Product Description for Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiHub.

Connectors and cables

FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit has 3 connectors:
.
Grounding connector Flexbus connector AGC connector
27 (74)
Grounding connector - used for connecting a 16 mm2 grounding wire. The purpose of protective grounding is to keep the electrical potential of the equipment at the same level as the potential of the surrounding ground. This prevents generation of dangerous voltages between the equipment and the ground. Because of the high locations of the radio and base station equipment, equipment stations are particularly susceptible to lightning strokes. Flexbus connector - used for connecting coaxial Flexbus cable to the Outdoor Unit. Flexbus cable carries power and digital baseband data from the FlexiHub. The FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit has an N connector (female) and the FlexiHub has a TNC connector (female). FlexiHopper XC uses the same Flexbus cables as other Hopper family products. Note that the Flexbus cable has to be grounded. AGC connector - measurement point for the AGC (automatic gain control) voltage. AGC voltage measurement is needed when aligning the antenna for connecting DC voltage meter.

Note that the cable interface on FlexiHub XC Main Unit is a high-speed interface designed to support 40 E1 capacity and is not compatible with the FlexiHopper (Plus) radios. Similarly, FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit is not compatible with other Hopper family indoor units such as FIU 19(E), FXC RRI, IFUE, FIFA, FTFA, or RRIC.

6.1
Upgrading FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit

Increasing transmission capacity
Each FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit can support up to 40E1 transmission capacity, but the capacity allowed for a specific XC Outdoor Unit is defined by the factory-installed SW licences and the FlexiHub XC Main Unit variant. Only a correct combination of these two factors - FlexiHub XC Main Unit and factory-installed licences - will give the desired capacity and modulation. These licences must be ordered separately, in addition to the right FlexiHub XC Main Unit variant. Therefore no additional parts are needed for increasing transmission capacity of the FlexiHopper XC Outdoor Unit. The licences defining the FlexiHopper XC capacity and modulation mode are tied to the FlexiHub XC Main Unit and are currently not upgradable in the field. Later FlexiHopper XC releases will support also field upgradability with licence keys. For more information see Ordering Parts and Accessories for Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiHopper XC and corresponding sections in Product Description for Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiHub.
6.2
Upgrading to 1+1 hot standby (HSB) protected configuration

It is possible to upgrade to 1+1 HSB protected configuration after the initial installation. Two FlexiHopper XC radios and their cabling are always needed for the installation. One radio acts as primary and the other one as protecting. Note that this may require obtaining additional parts and accessories depending on the existing antenna setup.
