The RTTE directive covers essential requirements in the field of:protection of the Health and Safety of the user and any other person, including theobjectives with respect to safety requirements contained in the Low Voltagedirective (73/23/EEC).the protection requirements with respect to EMC contained in Directive89/336/EEC.The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If notinstalled and used in accordance with the instruction manual, the equipment maycause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is noguarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If thisequipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user isencouraged to try to correct the interference.The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level ofcompatibility for apparatus at residential, commercial, and light industrialenvironments. The levels however, do not cover extreme cases which may occurin any location but with a low probability of occurrence. In particular, it may notcover those cases where a potential source of interference which is producingindividually repeated transient phenomena, or continuous phenomena, ispermanently present, for example a radar or broadcast site in the near vicinity. Insuch a case it may be necessary to either limit the source of interference, or usespecial protection applied, to the interfered part, or both.Note: For operation or maintenance inside Nortel Networks systems, theantistatic wrist shall always be used to maintain the integrity of theproduct.

Themaximum one--cabinet configuration is GSM S333 + UMTS STSR--2.2.2 GSM featuresThe BTS18000 offers a set of features enhancing the Quality of Service and thespectrum efficiency of the network such as:Full support of GPRS data services.Full support of EDGE 8PSK modulation.Guaranteed --110 dBm dynamic single--branch receive sensitivity (GMSKmodulation) at the BTS antenna, without any tower--mounted Low NoiseAmplifier (LNA).Improved receiver diversity gain using a Nortel Networks specific algorithm,providing 5 dB or more diversity gain in most situations, when spatial diversityand de--correlated antennas are used.High output power with a 30W or 40W standard Power Amplifier (PA), and anoptional 60W High Power Amplifier:•30W/30W (GSM1800, GSM1900),•40W/40W for standard RM (GSM900),•60W/45W for GSM900 HPRM (GMSK/EDGE power).The BTS18020 cabinet can also be used as a very high density BTS inconjunction with an optional cabinet housing Multi Carrier Power Amplifiers(MCPA) and TX/RX antenna combiners.The MCPA feature (available only in GSM1900) allows high radio capacitiesusing fewer RF feeders (8--Carriers per feeder at 43 dBm typical between theMCPA cabinet and the antenna) and antennas:•without the coverage penalties of hybrid combiner solutions,•without the frequency hopping limitations of cavity combiner solutions.The MCPA feature leads to a S16.16.16 configuration in two BTS cabinets andone MCPA cabinet. The BTS18020 cabinet then contains up to 27 TRX withoutpower amplification. This BTS configuration is ideal for urban deployment withsevere space limitations and high capacity demands without compromising radiocoverage. One of its major benefits is the antenna number limitation (two persector).

This concept is adapted to stringent environmentalconstraints and is leading to the best economic trade--off between initial and finalcapacity.In addition, the BTS18000 supports asymmetrical radio configurations such asS963 in one cabinet.Compatibility with the S8000 and S12000 BTSs:•through existing site synchronized co--location,•through the possibility to re--use existing site equipment (such as anS8000/S12000 outdoor plinth).Industry leading transmission solution including high signaling concentration onthe Abis interface and drop--and--insert capability.As an example, a single timeslot is only required for carrying the signaling of aS333 BTS.Only two PCM timeslots over the Abis interface are required for each 8--radiotimeslot TRX.For signaling:•only one PCM timeslot is required, with configurations up to S333,•only three PCM timeslots are required, with configurations up to S999,•only six PCM timeslots are required, with configurations up to S18.18.18.The BTS18000 can support eight E1/T1 PCM links, with a granularity of fourE1/T1 per IFM board.
BTS18000 functionalityNortel Networks Confidential 2--3BTS18000 Reference ManualCopyright ©2002--2005 Nortel NetworksThe drop--and--insert capability is used to reduce the number of PCM linksneeded to connect the BTSsto their BSC. This can be implemented through chainconnection or loop connection, depending on the level of reliability required.The BTS18000 supports the drop--and--insert function exactly the same way asthe S8000 and S12000 BTSs do. Therefore, it is possible to have the S8000,S12000 and BTS18000 BTSs on the same chain or loop.GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS dual technology capabilities for operatorevolution to 3G data services.2.3 GSM functionsThe BTS18000 provides:the radio interface with the mobile handsets,the associated signal processing and the transmission interface with the BaseStation Controller (BSC).The BTS18000 ensures the following main functions:RF functions:•Antenna coupling and duplexing,•Power amplification,•Reception, including RF 2--way receive diversity,•Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) modulation/demodulation,•8--Phase Shift Keying (8--PSK) EDGE modulation/demodulation,•Synthesized frequency hopping in all hybrid coupling types.Radio channel management:•BTS and mobile handset power control,•Discontinuous Transmission and Voice Activity Detection (DTX/VAD), onboth uplink and downlink paths,•Radio channel filling,•Call setup and release,•Mobile timing advance processing,•Support of Enhanced Full--Rate (EFR), Full--Rate (FR), AMR Full--Rate andAMR Half--Rate speech coding,Signal processing:•Channel encoding and decoding,•Encryption (A5/2 and A5/1),

It is not present in theextensioncabinets. The IFM is composed of a single passive board with connections on theIBP and on the front panel.4.2.1 Main functionsThe IFM provides connectivity and secondary protection (the level of protectiondepends on the type of board, see Section 4.2.2 “Types of IFM board”)onthePCMlinks. It provides:E1 (120 ohms) or T1 (100 ohms) links from the Abis (front panel) withsecondary protection to the local ICM (back panel) and the redundant ICM(cross--connect connector on front panel).additional E1/T1 links from the other IFM (cross--connect connector on frontpanel) to the local ICM (back panel).The IFM also provides detection for this additional Abis link to the ICM.external synchronization link from external source (CMCF phase 2 or GPSantenna, on the front panel) to the local ICM (back panel) and the remote ICM(cross--connect connector on front panel).The active ICM provides an RS422 receive link to the GPS antenna, and retrievesPPS synchro input from the antenna. The IFM provides antenna detection to bothICMs.cross--connect link between the remote ICM (cross--connect connector on frontpanel) and the local one (back panel). This link conveys detection,active/passive, synchro and signaling signals between both ICMs.the ICM with several status signals (GPS antenna presence, redundancy status).the ABM with a board presence detection signal and an I2CElectrically--Erasable Programmable Read--Only Memory (EEPROM) forinventory. This memory contains factory data and is remotely powered by theABM.Note: The IFM does not provide the ICM with the link type (E1 or T1) detection.The selection of E1 or T1 mode must be performed via commissioningswitches inside ICM (see Section 4.3.9.1).

Consequently, IFM is the appropriateboard to use if a CSU is not being used to provide protection. The name on this boardis IFM.4.2.2.2 IFM1 boardThe IFM1 board provides a lower level of secondary protection than that providedby the IFM board. If a CSU (Channel Service Unit) is being used to provideprotection, then the IFM1 board can be used instead of the IFM board. The nameon this board is IFM1.4.2.2.3 Terms used in this NTPExcept for the level of secondary protection and the names that appear on theboards, the two types of IFM board are identical. Throughout this NTP, the term“IFM” is used in text and graphics. You should interpret this as a generic term thatcovers both types of IFM board. If it is necessary to distinguish between the twotypes of IFM board, then this is stated explicitly in the text.4.2.2.4 Location in cabinetThe BTS18000 cabinet includes:one mandatory even IFM (IFM--even), located:•in the upper shelf, for BTS18010 cabinet,•in the left shelf, for BTS18020 cabinet.one optional odd IFM (IFM--odd), located:•in the bottom shelf, for BTS18010 cabinet,•in the right shelf, for BTS18020 cabinet.4.2.3 Front panelFigure 4--4 presents the IFM front panel.

It is not present in the extensioncabinets. It is designed to manage the whole BTS18000 site in simplex or redundantmode.The ICM is composed of a single board with connections on the IBP and on the frontpanel.4.3.1 Main functionsThe ICM in simplex mode covers the functions related to a complete site including:support of drop--and--insert facilities for the PCM links with the BSC,reference clock for the air interface, synchronized on the Abis PCM interface, asynchronizing BTS or a GPS antenna,GSM_TIME calculations with possible network synchronization,switching of PCM slots,conversion of electrical signals, from external to internal PCM data formats,concentration of the data flow of the BTS,configuration and supervision of all the modules.Redundancy can optionally be introduced using two ICMs in the cabinet: one evenICM (ICM0) and one odd ICM (ICM1). In such a mode, called duplex, there is oneactive ICM and one passive ICM.The even ICM (ICM0) shall be equipped in simplex mode and is the default activeICM at start up.In duplex mode:the active ICM is the currently operational one, as opposed to the passive one,the passive ICM is the currently non operational one, as opposed to the activeone.The redundancy is static. If the passive ICM traps, the swap from passive to activeoccurs, but the traffic is lost and the newly active ICM can accept new traffic.Note: ICM chain switching may disturb punctually the Abis lines, as linetransceivers of both boards share the same signals. This disturbance maylast several microseconds to several milliseconds, depending on thehardware implementation. These characteristics are also met on the BSCinterface boards.

The DDM is aimedat providing:TX filtering (noise suppression),RX filtering (noise suppression),TX to RX isolation,front end low noise amplification for the receive chain.The DDM provides two separate RX paths with four outputs per chain. It alsoprovides two transmit inputs (two transmit carrier’s capacity). The DDM is used ina sector basis with one duplexer for main receive path and the other one for diversityreceive path.4.7.1.1 H2 coupling optionIn addition, in order to increase the transmit capacity of the DDM, integrated 2--wayhybrid combiners (H2 coupling) are proposed as an option for the DDM. Thesecombiners can be by--passed. A front panel switch allows informing the system ofthe current DDM H2 configurations (2--way hybrid by--passed or not).4.7.1.2 VSWR meter optionAs an option, the DDM integrates a VSWR meter on both antenna accesses. ThisVSWR meter provides three levels of alarms. The corresponding thresholds ofalarms are settable on site, through DDM front panel switches.The DDM provides a presence detection signal to the ABM. The DDM is alsoconnected to the ABM through a I2C bus. This bus allows ABM to collect alarms,inventory information, and to read VSWR thresholds settings.
