European regulatory requirement compliance As a radio product, the Nortel Networks BTS18000 falls under the requirement of the RTTE (Radio and Telecom Terminal Equipment) European directive 1999/5/EEC. The RTTE directive covers essential requirements in the field of: protection of the Health and Safety of the user and any other person, including the objectives with respect to safety requirements contained in the Low Voltage directive (73/23/EEC). the protection requirements with respect to EMC contained in Directive 89/336/EEC. The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, the equipment may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference. The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus at residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. The levels however, do not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but with a low probability of occurrence. In particular, it may not cover those cases where a potential source of interference which is producing individually repeated transient phenomena, or continuous phenomena, is permanently present, for example a radar or broadcast site in the near vicinity. In such a case it may be necessary to either limit the source of interference, or use special protection applied, to the interfered part, or both. Note: For operation or maintenance inside Nortel Networks systems, the antistatic wrist shall always be used to maintain the integrity of the product.

This configuration is available on all GSM frequency variants (900, 1800, and 1900 MHz) and on both 1900 and 2100 MHz frequency variants for UMTS. The maximum one--cabinet configuration is GSM S333 + UMTS STSR--2. 2.2 GSM features The BTS18000 offers a set of features enhancing the Quality of Service and the spectrum 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 (GMSK modulation) at the BTS antenna, without any tower--mounted Low Noise Amplifier (LNA). Improved receiver diversity gain using a Nortel Networks specific algorithm, providing 5 dB or more diversity gain in most situations, when spatial diversity and de--correlated antennas are used. High output power with a 30W or 40W standard Power Amplifier (PA), and an optional 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 in conjunction 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 capacities using fewer RF feeders (8--Carriers per feeder at 43 dBm typical between the MCPA 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 and one MCPA cabinet. The BTS18020 cabinet then contains up to 27 TRX without power amplification. This BTS configuration is ideal for urban deployment with severe space limitations and high capacity demands without compromising radio coverage. One of its major benefits is the antenna number limitation (two per sector). Copyright © 2002--2005 Nortel Networks BTS18000 Reference Manual 2--2 BTS18000 functionality Nortel Networks Confidential Dual--band GSM configurations with single--BCCH, built in a single or in multiple BTS18000 cabinets. Enhanced voice quality due to an innovative algorithm of interference cancellation significantly reducing the end--user’s perception of errors generated in the radio transmission. Full RF power control range (static and dynamic). Spectrum efficiency optimization with the support of the undisputed Nortel Networks capacity features that provide high quality voice and data services to a dense subscriber population, in a limited spectrum and at competitive cost. These solutions include Fractional Frequency Reuse, Automated Cell Tiering and Adaptive Multi Rate (AMR) support. Best--in--class radio performance thanks to high sensitivity receivers, unique interference cancellation and improved spatial diversity algorithms along with high output power, providing optimum coverage and link quality for both data and voice services. High integration of advanced technology. This in turn contributes to a significant reduction in required floor space, size and equipment operating costs. This concept is adapted to stringent environmental constraints and is leading to the best economic trade--off between initial and final capacity. In addition, the BTS18000 supports asymmetrical radio configurations such as S963 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 an S8000/S12000 outdoor plinth). Industry leading transmission solution including high signaling concentration on the Abis interface and drop--and--insert capability. As an example, a single timeslot is only required for carrying the signaling of a S333 BTS. Only two PCM timeslots over the Abis interface are required for each 8--radio timeslot 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 four E1/T1 per IFM board.

This can be implemented through chain connection or loop connection, depending on the level of reliability required. The BTS18000 supports the drop--and--insert function exactly the same way as the 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 operator evolution to 3G data services. 2.3 GSM functions The BTS18000 provides: the radio interface with the mobile handsets, the associated signal processing and the transmission interface with the Base Station 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.

It is not present in the extension cabinets. The IFM is composed of a single passive board with connections on the IBP and on the front panel. 4.2.1 Main functions The IFM provides connectivity and secondary protection (the level of protection depends on the type of board, see Section 4.2.2 “Types of IFM board”) on the PCM links. It provides: E1 (120 ohms) or T1 (100 ohms) links from the Abis (front panel) with secondary 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 front panel) 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 GPS antenna, 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 retrieves PPS synchro input from the antenna. The IFM provides antenna detection to both ICMs. cross--connect link between the remote ICM (cross--connect connector on front panel) 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 I2C Electrically--Erasable Programmable Read--Only Memory (EEPROM) for inventory. This memory contains factory data and is remotely powered by the ABM. 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 commissioning switches inside ICM (see Section 4.3.9.1).

Consequently, IFM is the appropriate board to use if a CSU is not being used to provide protection. The name on this board is IFM. 4.2.2.2 IFM1 board The IFM1 board provides a lower level of secondary protection than that provided by the IFM board. If a CSU (Channel Service Unit) is being used to provide protection, then the IFM1 board can be used instead of the IFM board. The name on this board is IFM1. 4.2.2.3 Terms used in this NTP Except for the level of secondary protection and the names that appear on the boards, 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 that covers both types of IFM board. If it is necessary to distinguish between the two types of IFM board, then this is stated explicitly in the text. 4.2.2.4 Location in cabinet The 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 panel Figure 4--4 presents the IFM front panel.

Copyright © 2002--2005 Nortel Networks BTS18000 Reference Manual BTS18000 modules description 4--14 4.3 Nortel Networks Confidential Interface Control Module (ICM) The ICM is only used in the BTS18000 base cabinet. It is not present in the extension cabinets. It is designed to manage the whole BTS18000 site in simplex or redundant mode. The ICM is composed of a single board with connections on the IBP and on the front panel. 4.3.1 Main functions The 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, a synchronizing 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 even ICM (ICM0) and one odd ICM (ICM1). In such a mode, called duplex, there is one active ICM and one passive ICM. The even ICM (ICM0) shall be equipped in simplex mode and is the default active ICM 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 active one. The redundancy is static. If the passive ICM traps, the swap from passive to active occurs, 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 line transceivers of both boards share the same signals. This disturbance may last several microseconds to several milliseconds, depending on the hardware implementation. These characteristics are also met on the BSC interface boards.

The TRX2 LED of a HPRM remains always OFF. It is only tested during BISTs. Copyright © 2002--2005 Nortel Networks BTS18000 Reference Manual BTS18000 modules description 4--42 4.7 Nortel Networks Confidential Dual Duplexer Module (DDM) The operator can use different types of couplers to couple the PAs to the antennas and to combine the RX and TX paths: duplexers, transmit filters, hybrid combiners. These couplers can be found in the following BTS18000 modules: DDM or DDM with optional H2 coupling, both including an optional VSWR meter, TXF or TXF with optional H2 coupling, both including an optional VSWR meter. 4.7.1 Main functions The DDM allows to share TX and RX signals on a same antenna. The DDM is aimed at 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 also provides two transmit inputs (two transmit carrier’s capacity). The DDM is used in a sector basis with one duplexer for main receive path and the other one for diversity receive path. 4.7.1.1 H2 coupling option In addition, in order to increase the transmit capacity of the DDM, integrated 2--way hybrid combiners (H2 coupling) are proposed as an option for the DDM. These combiners can be by--passed. A front panel switch allows informing the system of the current DDM H2 configurations (2--way hybrid by--passed or not). 4.7.1.2 VSWR meter option As an option, the DDM integrates a VSWR meter on both antenna accesses. This VSWR meter provides three levels of alarms. The corresponding thresholds of alarms are settable on site, through DDM front panel switches. The DDM provides a presence detection signal to the ABM. The DDM is also connected to the ABM through a I2C bus. This bus allows ABM to collect alarms, inventory information, and to read VSWR thresholds settings.

In addition, the DDM provides the RICO board with: a DC signal of 3.3V, in order to power supply the inventory circuitry of the associated SICS (BTS18010) or ECU (BTS18020), a DC signal of 5V, in order to power supply the associated TXF (VSWR meter and inventory circuitry). 4.7.2 Front panel 4.7.2.1 DDM Figure 4--14 DDM front panel Copyright © 2002--2005 Nortel Networks BTS18000 Reference Manual 4--44 BTS18000 modules description 4.7.2.2 Figure 4--15 PE/DCL/DD/0160 411--9001--160 Nortel Networks Confidential DDM H2 DDM H2 front panel Standard 15.104/EN June 2005 Copyright © 2002--2005 Nortel Networks Nortel Networks Confidential 4.7.3 BTS18000 modules description 4--45 Physical and electrical characteristics Module name Height (mm) Width (mm) Depth (mm) Weight (Kg) DDM / DDM H2 190.7 149.7 400 11 Table 4--28 DDM / DDM H2 dimensions and weight Maximum number per cabinet: 6.
