1 year ago Installation and Commissioning time tool, traffic effecting. Automated procedure that identifies interference issues at startup time. Not related to ATPC which is something that can used during operation. Fade Margin is calculated during the initial setup of a microwave device by reducing the remote-end power until the signal is lost. The information is collected once and stored in the equipment (because it is radio terminal specific). Fade Margin is collected per modulation, so that the SDN controller have the information related to S/N ratio per modulation for each radio terminal. Keep this at the application level and not store per equipment. Is Fade Margin one number or multiple numbers? One option is that Fade Margin is one number and calculated by the equipment. There is not a different number per modulation. Where do we want to store the number(s)?
With adaptive modulation enabled, which modulation does this refer to? It’s a planning target o at least for the lowest modulation allowed on the link (the other margins can be calculated by the controller) o what about the threshold degradation due to interference? To be managed between planning tool / optimization tool / SDN Controller, not in the equipment
