Congratulations on your purchase of the Redline Communications model Access Node-
100U wireless broadband base station single sector base station. Redline
Communications is a world leader in design and production of Broadband Fixed Wireless
(BFW) systems.
2.1 Introduction
The RedMAX base station is a carrier class IEEE 802.16-2004 compliant wireless device
for deployment of point-to-multipoint (PMP) and point-to-point (PTP) systems.
Figure 2: Intro - base station Terminal, Transceiver, and Antenna
The base station consists of an indoor terminal (IDU) and outdoor transceiver and
antenna (ODU). Each operational RedMAX wireless broadband network segment is
comprised of a RedMAX base station and one or more WiMAX Forum Certified
subscribers. Each subscriber registers and establishes a bi-directional data link with the
base station sector controller.
The RedMAX base station is (part of) the 802.16 definition of a base station. A
RedMAX base station base station functions as a central hub or concentrator, connected
to a WAN network access point, and managing wireless links for remote subscribers. The
RedMAX base station base station enforces the Quality of Service (QoS) settings by
controlling all uplink and downlink traffic scheduling -- providing non-contention based
traffic with predictable transmission characteristics.

2.2 IEEE 802.16 / WiMAX Compliance
The IEEE 802.16-2004 specifications describe a PMP broadband wireless access
standard for systems operating in the frequency range of 2-11 GHz, and 10-66 GHz. This
standard includes descriptions for both the Media Access Control (MAC) and the
physical (PHY) layers.
The RedMAX base station base station is compliant to the following IEEE 802.16-2004
WirelessMAN-OFDM and WirelessHUMAN-OFDM Physical Layer Profiles:
- ProfP3_3.5: WirelessMAN-OFDM PHY profile for 3.5 MHz channelization (Rel. 1.0)
- ProfP3_7: WirelessMAN-OFDM PHY profile for 7 MHz channelization (Rel. 1.1)
Note that the 802.16 standards are subject to amendment, and RedMAX product design
compliance applies to a specific revision of the standard. The RedMAX product does not
support mesh communication (direct subscriber-to-subscriber).
Redline is an active member of the IEEE 802.16 standards committee and has been
instrumental in creating the original 802.16 standards. Redline is also active in
recommending, writing and following-up on new amendments to the 802.16
specifications.
Redline is an active member of the WiMAX Forum™ and is participating in
interoperability testing in the WiMAX Forum.
2.3 PHY Specification
The base station is designed for 2-11 GHz operation based on the WirelessMAN-OFDM
PHY definition in the IEEE 802.16 specification. Refer to the system specifications for
supported frequency ranges.
2.4 OFDM (256 FFT)
The base station uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM is a
multi-carrier transmission technique where the data stream is split and transmitted (at a
reduced rate) in parallel streams on separate sub-carriers. OFDM uses the Fast Fourier
Transform (FFT) algorithm to implement modulation and demodulation functions. Using
adequate channel coding and bit-interleaving, OFDM can perform very well in severe
multipath environments, mitigate frequency selective fading and provide high spectral
efficiency.
2.5 Features
2.5.1 Privacy
The base station is hardware ready to provide encryption for user traffic. The MAC
header of 802.16 contains the information Encryption Control (EC), Encryption Key
sequence (EKS) , and Connection Identifier (CID) necessary to decrypt a payload by the
receiver. Protection of the payload is indicated by the EC bit field. A value of '1' indicates
the payload is cryptographically protected and the EKS field contains meaningful data. A
value of '0' indicates the payload is not cryptographically protected. The EKS field
contains a sequence number used to identify the current generation of keying material.

2.5.2 Time Division Duplexing (TDD)
The base station system uses time division duplexing (TDD) to transmit and receive on
the same RF channel, or using separate RF channels using half-duplex FDD (HD-FDD).
These are both non-contention based methods for providing an efficient and predictable
two-way PTP or PMP cell deployment. All uplink and downlink transmission scheduling
is managed by the base station. The base station sends data traffic to subscribers, polls for
grant requests, and sends grant acknowledgements based on the total of all traffic to all
subscribers.
2.5.3 Coding Rate
Each burst of data transmitted over the wireless interface is padded with redundant
information, making it more resistant to potential over-the-air errors. The coding rate is
the ratio of user data to the total data transmitted including the redundant error correction
data. The base station supports coding rates of 1/2, 2/3, and 3/4.
2.5.4 Modulation
The modulation technique specifies how the data is coded within the OFDM carriers. The
base station supports BPSK, QPSK, 16 Quadarature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), and
64 QAM modulation.
2.5.5 Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ)
The ARQ mechanism provides automatic retransmission of errored data and
unacknowledged data without involving higher-layer protocols. This is effective in
recovery during Fast Fade conditions.
2.5.6 Reed Solomon Error Correction
Outer Reed-Solomon and inward Convolution Coding (RS-CC) error correction is
enabled for all traffic rates, with the exception of BPSK 1/2 where only inward
Convolution Coding is used. These low-level processes can correct bursts of errors in
received messages and reduce the number of retransmissions.

2.5.7 Time Synchronization
When operating two or more collocated base stations, transmitter operations MUST be
synchronization to minimize inter-sector interference. Each BS has a synchronization
port located on the front panel to receive synchronization pulses.
2.6 Deployment Models
The base station supports point to point (PTP) and point to multipoint (PMP) deployment
scenarios.
2.6.1 PTP Deployment
When deployed in a PTP configuration the base station establishes a dedicated bi-
directional link to a single subscriber. The PTP deployments typically use a directional
narrow beam antenna for both ends of the link.
Figure 3: System - PTP Line of Sight Deployment
2.6.2 PMP Deployment
When deployed in a PMP configuration the base station establishes bi-directional links to
more than one subscriber. PMP deployments typically use a wide beam (sector) antenna
at the base station and a narrow beam antenna at the subscriber. Service flows are used to
police service level agreements for each subscriber.
2.6.3 Non Line-of-Sight
The RedMAX system supports line-of-sight (LOS), optical line-of-sight (OLOS), and
non line-of-sight (NLOS) operation. A clear LOS link has no obstacles within 60% of the
first Fresnel zone of the direct path. An OLOS link has obstructions within 60% of the
first Fresnel zone, but a visible path exists between the base station and subscriber. Refer
to the following illustration.
