CHAPTERPRELIMINARY3-1BWX 8415 Basestation Installation and Commissioning GuideOL-19519-013Overview3.1 Scope of this GuideThis document was created specifically for the BWX 8415 Basestation (BS), which allows service providers to service users with Mobile WiMAX technology. WiMAX is a standards-based, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access (OFDMA) technology. The procedures in this document are non-frequency specific. This guide serves as the instructions for all BWX 8415 BS installations. 3.2 How to Use This GuideProperly installing and commissioning a BS into commercial operation begins with planning. Cisco advises skills-certified Installation & Commissioning Technicians to review this entire document and its referenced material at the beginning of a successful deployment. Cisco is serious about ensuring your success. In fact, Cisco does not warranty its hardware if the BS has not been deployed by a Cisco skills-certified Installation & Commissioning Technician. To install and commission a BS, you will need a standard toolkit, as well as Cisco-specific tools, software, documentation, and forms that are explained in this guide.Some procedures described in this guide are optional because they depend upon a particular configuration or service provider preference. If you are not certain whether or not you should perform an optional task, please feel free to contact your account representative or Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for assistance. Unless specified as optional, assume the procedure or task must be completed.

PRELIMINARY3-4BWX 8415 Basestation Installation and Commissioning GuideOL-19519-01Chapter 3 Overview3.4 BWX 8415 Basestation Components3.4 BWX 8415 Basestation ComponentsA Cisco BWX Mobile WiMAX system provides wireless broadband access to a core network, typically to the Internet or to any local or wide area network (LAN/WAN). When a service provider has established BS’s in a given coverage area, the subscriber connects a BWX 350 USB Modem or other WiMAX-certified device to their computer to access the network without the need for a professional installer. This is what Cisco refers to when it says its system is “zero-install®”: no truck rolls, no professional installation schedule for the consumer. In fact, some service providers have their subscribers pick up their modems at retail stores, or, in some cases, simply mail the modems to the subscribers. The subscriber modem is generally referred to as Subscriber Station (SS). The SS can be a BWX 350 USB Modem, which inserts into the USB slot of a laptop computer, or another WiMAX-certified device.In Release 10.0 Cisco offers three subscriber stations (SS): the BWX 320 IDU modem, the BWX 350 USB modem, and the BWX 360 Outdoor modem. The BWX 320 IDU modem connects to PCs, utilizing the ethernet connection of the PC and covers a 5 MHz frequency range, the BWX 350 USB modem plugs into laptops, utilizing the USB port of the PC and covers a 5 MHz frequency range, and the BWX 360 Outdoor modem connects to PCs, utilizing the ethernet connection of the PC and covers a 5 or 10 MHz frequency range.The entire BWX Mobile WiMAX system (Figure 3-1) has six main components: one or more basestations, Subscriber Stations (SSs, also referred to as modems), the Element Management System (EMS), the Broadband Wireless Gateway (BWG), the Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server, and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol/Domain Name Server (DHCP/DNS) server. The BS portion of the system consists of the Radio Unit (RU) and the Antenna Unit (AU).

The BS interfaces with the BWG and either directs traffic to/from the BWG (residential service) or tags the traffic to route to/from a private network (Business/Enterprise service).The BS uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna connected to the built-in GPS circuit. Warranty and ongoing TAC support on the BS only covers BSs deployed with the supported configuration.The EMS is a set of software applications that the service provider uses to configure, communicate with, and manage all the system elements directly related to the Broadband Wireless Access system. EMS provides a single point for managing BWG-to-BS, BWG-to-EMS, BS, and SS communications in a WiMAX network.The EMS is an IP-based element manager designed in a server-client relationship and runs on either Windows or Solaris Operating Systems. Most service providers use the Client EMS Configuration & Alarm Manager (CAM) application to interface with the system. All of the functions that can be performed through the CAM can also be performed through a Command Line Interface (CLI), which is a common computing language across platforms. In addition, the CLI can run scripts consisting of a text file with CLI commands. This functionality is not available in the CAM.BWX 8415BasestationGPSAntennaBWGEMSAAADHCPDNS Backhaul NetworkBSSSOther WiMAXCe rtifie d De vice sBWX 8415BasestationGPSAntennaBWGEMSAAADHCPDNS Backhaul NetworkBSSSOther WiMAXCe rtifie d De vice sBWX 8415BasestationGPSAntennaBWGEMSAAADHCPDNS Backhaul NetworkBackhaul NetworkBSSSBWX 350USB ModemOther WiMAXCe rtifie d De vice sOther WiMAXCe rtifie d De vice sBWX 320IDU ModemBWX 360Outdoor ModemBWX 8415BasestationGPSAntennaBWGEMSAAADHCPDNS Backhaul NetworkBSSSOther WiMAXCe rtifie d De vice sBWX 8415BasestationGPSAntennaBWGEMSAAADHCPDNS Backhaul NetworkBSSSOther WiMAXCe rtifie d De vice sBWX 8415BasestationGPSAntennaBWGEMSAAADHCPDNS Backhaul NetworkBackhaul NetworkBSSSBWX 350USB ModemOther WiMAXCe rtifie d De vice sOther WiMAXCe rtifie d De vice sBWX 320IDU ModemBWX 360Outdoor Modem
PRELIMINARY3-6BWX 8415 Basestation Installation and Commissioning GuideOL-19519-01Chapter 3 Overview3.5 Beamforming3.5 BeamformingCisco BWX 8415 Basestation antennas contain eight elements (Figure 3-2), with a gain of 16 dBi. Their combined effect is to concentrate the downlink data into a beam with maximum gain at the location of each target SS (Figure 3-3). Similarly, in the uplink the data transmitted by each SS is received by the eight antenna elements with different phases due to the differences in propagation distance from an SS to each antenna element. The contributions from an SS are added up coherently after adjusting their phases for maximum gain. This effect, which we call beamforming, is equivalent to having up to 18 dB of additional gain in the downlink and up to 9 dB additional gain in the uplink. It allows the Cisco BWX Mobile WiMAX system to operate at a much lower power level than would otherwise be necessary for the same results.Figure 3-2 BWX 8415 Basestation
