The basic function of the Node B is to convert 100 Base T packet data into  the UTRAN TD-CDMA air interface used between the Node B and the 3G Modem. The Node B can be configured to operate in configurations ranging from a single sector or omni mode, up to a 6 sector arrangement. One Node B is required for each sector of coverage, in the case of an omni configuration one Node B will be required. The Node B is controlled by an INC (Integrated network Controller) Generally co located at the site in a separate cabinet.

In the case of the outdoor installation the INC and power source are housed in the same cabinet. Power and Ethernet cables are to be pulled through the conduit, one power cable and one Ethernet cable for each Node B. If external alarms are to be utilized conduit may also be necessary between the external alarm device and the Node B for monitoring the alarm. 4.2  (Step 5)  Antenna and Coax installation Antenna’s and coaxial cable should be available at the site, and are part of the construction checklist. Two antennas per Node B are required, therefore two coaxial cables per Node B should be available.  Cables should be properly marked to indicate what antenna the coaxial cables are to be connected to the Node B serving the sector or area.  The coaxial cables are to be terminated to a lightning arrestor and a jumper installed to the proper length between the lightning arrestor and the Node B location.

A site survey should be done before Node B installation to verify that the Node B installation location is suitable for GPS reception.  A simple survey method is to take a handheld GPS receiver to the site and verify that GPS lock is obtained in the location of the Node B installation.   The handheld GPS should be able to obtain a “locked” condition within 2 minutes of power-on, and should be able to see a minimum of 4 satellites at all times.  Note that when the Node B is to be installed on or near a tower or building wall, the GPS survey should replicate this configuration exactly.  4.4  Service Cover Area The following figures illustrate the key elements for reference in the cable interface service area of the NodeB.

The specifications for those interface requirements are below.  4.5.1  Alarm Input Specification  The alarm inputs from the Node B Patch board to the digital board shall be TTL levels and active high.  The external alarm inputs shall be opto-isolated current loops.  The voltage and currents shall be supplied by the external source. 4.5.2  Alarm Output Specification  The alarm outputs from the digital board to the Node B Patch Board shall be TTL levels and active high. .  The external alarm outputs shall be isolated normally-open relay contacts capable of switching at least 100mA DC.

Sighting the NodeB  The first priority in sighting the NodeB is that the GPS antenna can ‘see’ the sky and therefore the satellites. See section 4.4 for further guidance.  From a physical view point, the GPS antenna should ‘see’ at least a 90º quadrant of the ski above the GPS antenna, see figure below.    <Detail to be added> GPS Antenna Field of Vision - No ObstructionsMin 1m  Min 1m  GPS Antenna

The following figure specifies the way the conduit bracket glands have been designated signifying which cables should be fed thru which gland.           The glands and conduit should be fitted to the mount bracket prior to the NodeB being mounted onto to the mounting bracket.  The cable should be fed thru the glands and the glands ‘sealed’ prior to the NodeB being mounted onto to the mounting bracket. Excess cable should be fed thru.

The grounding wire crimps on a double lug lead going from the buss bar to a grounding ring via a Cadweld (exothermic) ground ring. A typical ground ring consists of eight foot long stainless steel ground rods which are 5/8” diameter. Although each site will be designed for that specific site installation.

Future enhancements will enable (4) T1's for connection to a serving INC. The connections are labeled and shown in the figure below.  If the Node B is in not in the same site location as the serving INC, there must be no greater than a 5 millisecond delay on the backhaul connection. This can be provided by microwave or land based facilities with a very high reliability rate of 99.9995%.     Terminate the Ethernet cables with RJ48 connectors and strip the wire to allow proper connection to the earth bar. Test the continuity for the Ethernet cables with test equipment consisting of a main and a remote unit.  The termination for these interfaces is specified within the datasheets for the interfaces. The specification for both cables should be CAT5 - 4 pair, screened cable, recommended Alcatel LANmark-5 F2TP or equivalent.  Power Terminals Protective Cover Backhaul T1 (4) Backhaul 100BaseT

The external alarm inputs shall be opto-isolated current loops. The voltage and currents shall be supplied by the external source. Alarm Outputs The alarm outputs from the digital board to the Node B Patch Board shall be TTL levels and active high. The external alarm outputs shall be isolated normally-open relay contacts capable of switching at least 100mA DC.  The connectors are 12way (alarm inputs) and 2ways for the alarm outputs, 2.5mm pitch header that mate with the supplied cable mount – tension clamp. The cables should be stripped 5-6mm and inserted into the connector prior to mating with the NodeB.  The signals are paired starting from the right, pin1 is the right-hand-side on each connector.

The GPS timing signal is used by the Node B for the TDD frame timing, so that all Node B’s in a network are synchronized.  The GPS signal is also used by the master oscillator for a frequency reference.  The Node B can operate for several hours after a loss of GPS timing but a gradual drift of the frame timing will result in system interference and a loss of handoff capability.  The GPS receiver is automatically enabled when the Node B is powered and there are no adjustments or settings to be made by the user.  After installation of the Node B, verify proper operation of the GPS receiver by connecting the Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) to the LMT port and accessing typing “gpsstats”.  5.5.3  GPS Repeater Installations A GPS repeater functions as a reradiating repeater to provide a GPS signal in areas that do not have a clear view of the sky.    The repeater consists of an active antenna, a repeater block, a passive antenna, connecting cables and a +12VDC supply The location of the active antenna should be chosen so that the antenna has a clear view of the sky.  A suitable location can be verified before installation by checking for GPS lock with a handheld GPS unit.  The repeater block and passive antenna are installed in the coverage area (Node B location).  The +12VDC supply can be provided by a wall transformer that is connected to a UPS.  After installation and power-on, verify that the handheld GPS unit is able to obtain GPS lock inside the Node B installation area.  If not, make adjustments to the antenna locations as required until the handheld GPS receiver can obtain lock.  After the Node B is installed, verify that the Node B GPS receiver is able to obtain and keep GPS lock condition.
