iB440-04-01

iBridge 440 supports the following OFDM permutations as defined in the IEEE 802.11ac LOS
standard:
802.11ac divides the channel into OFDM subcarriers, each of which has a bandwidth of 312.5 kHz.
Each of the subcarriers is used as an independent transmission, and OFDM distributes the incoming
data bits among the subcarriers. A few subcarriers are reserved and are called pilot carriers; they
do not carry user data and instead are used to measure the channel.

iBridge iB440 LOS supports dynamic MCS selection, allowing the most appropriate Modulation &
Coding Scheme to be selected according to channel conditions. This operates on a per node basis in
both the uplink and downlink directions.
7.6 CHANNEL CODING

iB440-04-04

iBridge 440 supports Convolutional Turbo Coding (CTC) The interleaver takes sequential bits from
the carriers and separates them in the convolutional code bitstream to separate errors and make
them easier to correct.

8 QUALITY OF SERVICE

The following feature set associated with the QoS is supported in this specific System Release.
Further features are made available with software updates in accordance with the iBridge
8.1 SIMPLE QUEUES

Ibridge 440 uses simple queues to build advanced QoS applications. iBridge 440 uses multiple
packet marks from /ip firewall mangle to create a QOS to interact with the ENB.

The process marks packets for future processing with special marks. They identify a packet based
on its mark and process it accordingly. The mangle marks exist only within the router, they are not
transmitted across the network.

iBridge 440 uses fields in the IP header, like TOS (DSCP) and TTL fields.

Page 19 of 35
9 NETWORKING

The following feature set associated with Networking is supported in this specific System Release.
Further features are made available with software updates in accordance with the iBridge
9.1 MAC BASED ACCESS FOR INITIAL CONFIGURATION

iB440-xx-xx

The MAC connection works on Layer2, this makes it possible to connect to the e 440 even without
IP address configuration. Broadcasting MAC connection is not stable enough to use continuously,
therefore this feature is only use for the initial configuration phase and a IP address is assigned to
the unit once network connectivity is achieved.
9.2 TRAFFIC TYPES

iB440-07-01, iB440-07-02

iBridge 440 natively supports the following traffic types:

IPv4 Ethernet Traffic

IPv6 Ethernet Traffic
9.3 802.1Q VLANS

iB440-07-03, iB440-07-04, iB440-07-05

10 SECURITY

The following feature set associated with Security is supported in this specific System Release.
Further features are made available with software updates in accordance with the iBridge 440
10.1
AUTHENTICATION AND ENCRYPTION
iB440-08-03

iB440-security provides authentication and data encryption capabilities to the wireless links.
iB440 implements Authentication of peer nodes (iB440 Base and iB440 Terminals) using preshared
key and data encryption using AES-CCM with 128 bit keys which are derived from the preshared
key. Default configuration enables iB440-secure mode which will block any non-secured
communication. A preshared key is burned into iB440 units in secured factory environment and
can be altered or modified by authorised Airspan personnel.
10.2
PASSWORD MANAGEMENT
iB440-08-06

iBridge 440 supports password controlled access, with encrypted storage of a hash of the password
for additional security.

Confidential
Page 22 of 35
11 OPERATIONS, ADMINISTRATION & MANAGEMENT (OAM)

The following feature set associated with O&M is supported in this specific System Release. Further
features are made available with software updates in accordance with the iBridge 440
11.1
MANAGEMENT ARCHITECTURE
iBridge 440 supports both indirect and direct management connections.

Direct management connections are achieved with an SNMP client operating on each iBridge node,
allowing independent control of each node.

Indirect management connections are supported on Termination nodes, with an SNMP client
operating on the Base node. Management connectivity is effectively hosted by the Base nodes for all
connected nodes, minimizing the number of SNMP clients across the network, and reducing
management traffic.
11.2
MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL
iB440-11-01

iBridge 440 supports management connectivity of the iBridge interface using SNMP over IPv4.
Management to the Feeder Base is via the network port. Management to the Feeder Terminal is
over the air via its associated Feeder Base. iBridge 440 management traffic can be tagged with a
VLAN tag to differentiate from other traffic.
11.3
EMS DISCOVERY
iB440-11-08

iBridge 440 supports manual configuration of the EMS, or automated detection of the EMS system.
11.4
INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
iBridge 440 supports Airspans Field Commissioning Application AirCAP. AirCAP is used to
commission and align Point to Point iBridge links, the application is primarily used by commission
teams to align panel antenna and optimized the backhaul link.

Page 23 of 35
11.5
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT
iBridge 440 supports configuration from Netspan using SNMP, including the following:

Configurable frequency
Ability to disable transmitter
Configure QOS
11.6
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
iBridge 440 provides inventory information to Netspan.
11.7
FAULT MANAGEMENT
iBridge 440 supports fault management from Netspan, providing SNMP trap notifications to include
different alarms and events. iBridge 440 allows multiple SNMP destinations to be defined, allowing
faults to be tracked by different management systems.
11.8
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
iBridge 440 supports performance management from Netspan*Roadmap item
11.9
SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT
iBridge 440 supports remote software management and status reporting using Netspan. The
following protocols are supported when downloading software from the network:

TFTP
SFTP

Generic software package is used for both FB and FT operation, operating mode is selected during
commissioning mode or via configuration.
