System Description
Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
The mobile communication system has experienced the first generation (analog
system) and the second generation (digital system). As one of the main development
trends of the second generation, the Code Division Multiple Access 1X (CDMA 1X)
technology, advocated by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2), has
been widely used for commercial purpose.
The CDMA 1X technology complies with IS-95A and IS-95B standards. The capacity
of the CDMA 1X system has increased substantially because it adopts such
technologies as reverse pilot, fast power control and transmit diversity.
This chapter first introduces the network solution of Huawei CDMA 1X mobile
communication system, and then the market position of Huawei indoor BTS3606.

Chapter 4 Main Functions
The Um interface of the BTS3606 supports the TIA/EIA IS -2000 Rel.A standard. It is
compatible with the TIA/EIA-95-A/B standard. The minimum performance satisfies
TIA/EIA-97-D requirements.
The Abis interface complies with the 3GPP2 A.R0003 standard.
4.1 Power Control
The CDMA system is a self-interference system. Every subscriber is an interference
source to other subscribers. If it is possible to ensure that every MS transmits the
minimum power it needs, the whole system capacity can reach the maximum.
Therefore, power control directly affects the system capacity and the service quality.
Power control is classified into forward power control and reverse power control.
Forward power control is used to control the transmit power of the BTS. Reverse
power control aims to control the transmit power of the MS.
I. Forward power control
Several methods can be applied to realize forward power control, depending on the
MS protocol version and the system parameters.
Power control based on PMRM
When the MS uses the Power Measurement Report Message (PMRM) for power
control, it determines the method and frequency of reporting PMRM in
accordance with the received control message contained in the system
parameter message.
Power control based on EIB
When the MS uses the Erasure Indicator Bit (EIB) for power control, it detects
forward frame quality and sends this information to the BTS through EIB. The
BTS will adjust the transmit power according to the EIB information.
Forward fast power control
The MS adjusts the BTS power according to the power control bit. The power
control bit can be transmitted at a maximum speed of 800 bit/s.
As the CDMA 1X system supports the high-speed data service, the requirement
on forward power control becomes higher.
4-1
Technical Manual
Airbridge BTS3606 CDMA Base Station
System Description
Chapter 4 Main Functions
The forward fast power control can control the transmit power of forward channel
accurately, reducing interference and improving the capacity.
II. Reverse power control
Reverse power control includes open-loop power control and close-loop power
control. The close-loop power control can be further classified into inner-loop power
control and outer-loop power control.
Open-loop power control
The MS determines the transmit power to access the BTS according to the
received pilot signal strength.
Close-loop power control
The BTS issues a power control command to the MS, and performs the
adjustment according to the feedback from the MS.
Figure 4-1 illustrates the principle of close-loop power control.

In the inner-loop power control mode, the BTS issues the power control bit according
to the received Eb/Nt value.
In the outer-loop power control mode, the BSC adjusts the Eb/Nt setting value
according to the Frame Error Rate (FER) of the received reverse signal. Then the
BTS uses the newly set Eb/Nt value to issue the power control bit. In this way, the
transmit power of the MS can be controlled.

Technical Manual
Airbridge BTS3606 CDMA Base Station
System Description
Chapter 4 Main Functions
4.2 Handoff
When the MS moves out of the current serving cell/sector or the conversation quality
deteriorates to an unacceptable degree, the MS will be handed off to another
cell/sector to maintain the ongoing conversation.
If the MS handoff helps to improve conversation quality and network performance, it
is also possible to trigger the handoff procedure.
I. Soft handoff
The soft handoff happens between adjacent cells which serve on the same frequency
and belong to different BTSs. The two different BTSs can belong to the same BSC, or
two different BSCs connected with A3/A7 interface.
In the soft handoff procedure, the MS maintains the connection with the previous cell
till it establishes the communication with the new cell. The MS can establish radio
links with multiple cells, select and combine data received from these links to improve
the conversation quality and reduce call drops.
II. Softer handoff
The softer handoff happens between adjacent sectors that serve on the same
frequency and belong to the same BTS. In fact, it is a special case of soft handoff.
Since the MS establishes radio links with multiple sectors under the same BTS, the
BTS can combine the diversity signals received by its sectors from the MS.
Therefore, the conversation quality during softer handoff is better than that of soft
handoff.
III. Hard handoff
In the hard handoff procedure, the MS firstly interrupts the connection with the
previous cell, and then set up the connection with the new cell. Therefore, call drop
may occur.
Hard handoff includes:
Intra-frequency hard handoff: Handoff between the BSCs without A3/A7 interface
in-between.
Inter-frequency hard handoff: Handoff between cells serving on different
frequencies.

4.3 Radio Configuration
The Um interface of the BTS3606 supports CDMA 1X. It is compatible with IS-95A/B
standards. The spreading rate is 1.2288 Mcps.
The CDMA 1X physical layer supports multiple Radio Configurations (RCs). Different
radio configurations support the frames of the different rate sets, and have different
channel configurations and spreading spectrum structures.
The transmission combinations supported by the BTS3606 include:
Forward RC1 and reverse RC1
Forward RC2 and reverse RC2
Forward RC3 or RC4, and reverse RC3
Forward RC5 and reverse RC4
Each RC supports traffic channel at different data rates. The performance of the
CDMA 1X system varies with RCs. For example, the CDMA 1X system with RC1 and
RC2 is compatible with IS-95A/B.
4.4 Channel Configuration
A series of physical channels have been defined on the Um interface. These physical
channels include different types according to the channel features. Different RCs
support different channels.
I. Forward channel
1)
Forward Common Channel
Forward Pilot Channel (F-PICH): It provides synchronization signals to the MSs
working in the BTS coverage. Different from other channels, the F-PICH is an
unmodulated spread spectrum signal that is always in the transmitting status.
Forward Sync Channel (F-SYNCH): It provides the initial time synchronization
information to MSs working in the BTS coverage.
Forward Paging Channel (F-PCH): It sends the system information and
MS-specific message to the MSs working in the BTS coverage. Each CDMA
channel in a sector can support seven paging channels at most.
Forward Quick Paging Channel (F-QPCH): The BTS uses this channel to send
the paging order and system configuration change order to slotted-mode MSs,
instructing them to receive the paging messages. Thus the MS battery energy
can be saved.
2)
Forward Dedicated Channel
Forward Dedicated Control Channel (F-DCCH): It carries traffic information and
signaling information between the MS and the BTS.
4-4
Technical Manual
Airbridge BTS3606 CDMA Base Station
System Description
Chapter 4 Main Functions
Forward Fundamental Channel (F-FCH): It carries traffic information between the
MS and the BTS.
Forward Supplemental Channel (F-SCH): It carries traffic information between
the MS and the BTS. It is only applicable to RC3, RC4 and RC5.
II. Reverse channel
1)
Reverse Common Channel
Reverse Access Channel (R-ACH): The MS uses this channel to initiate the
communication with the BTS and respond to paging channel message.
The MS uses random access protocol to initiate access procedure. Regarding each
supported paging channel, thirty-two access channels can be supported at most.
2)
Reverse Dedicated Channel
Reverse Fundamental Channel (R-FCH): It carries the traffic information
between the MS and the BTS.
Reverse Dedicated Control Channel (R-DCCH): It carries traffic information and
signaling information between the MS and the BTS.
Reverse Supplemental Channel (R-SCH): It carries the traffic information
between the MS and the BTS. It is applicable to RC3 and RC4 only.
4.5 Receiving Diversity
The BTS3606 supports receiving diversity function. The receiving diversity is realized
through two sets of independent receiving equipment, each of which comprises
antenna, feeder, CDDU, and main/diversity receiving channels.
The two sets of receiving equipment demodulate the received signals simultaneously.
Then the baseband processing unit decodes the signals with diversity combining
algorithm so as to provide some diversity gain.
The receiving diversity enhances the anti-attenuation capability of the BTS receiver,
and ensures the receiving effect of the BTS under complicated radio environment.
4.6 Cell Breathing
The BTS3606 can control the coverage of a cell and balance the system load by
adjusting the transmit power. This function has great significance for the CDMA
system. The transmit power of the BTS3606 for cell breathing ranges from 0 dB to 24
dB. It can be adjusted at a step of 0.5 dB.

Chapter 5 Reliability Design
V. Redundancy design
For the purpose of reliability, the system is designed with several sets of units
performing the same function. The system does not fail unless the specified sets of
units fail.
VI. Reliability design for input voltage
The system is protected against reverse connection of power supply.
The input voltage of the -48V DC power supply is checked and alarm signal will
be generated when the voltage is too low or too high.
The system is protected against sharp voltage drop and lightning strikes.
The system provides protection for program and data in the case of power
failure.
VII. Maintainability design
The reasonable internal wiring of the BTS facilitates board replacement. To replace a
faulty board, only the cable of this board is required to be removed. The board can be
removed and inserted directly from the front of the cabinet.
In addition, board indicators are provided to help users identify board status.
VIII. Fault monitoring and handling
The BTS3606 system is equipped with the functions of self-detection and fault
diagnosis. It can not only record, output and print various fault information, but collect
environment condition information and generate alarms if there is any problem.
The hardware fault detection procedures include:
Fault locating
Isolating the faulty components
Automatic switchover to the standby components that operate normally
The system will make a final confirmation on a hardware fault through repeated
detection, thus avoiding the reconfiguration of the system or the degradation of QoS
owing to contingent faults.
When faults occur to the software, automatic error-correction and recovery functions
will be executed, including restarting and reloading.
The network management system records, outputs, and notify the users of critical
faults. In this way, users can operate and maintain the system with ease through
maintenance console.

5.2 Hardware Reliability
I. Protection against wrong insertion of boards
When a board is inserted into a wrong slot, the special guide pins prevents the board
from touching the backplane. This avoids the possible damage to the equipment
owing to wrong insertion.
II. Active -standby switchover of BCKM
The active BCKM can back up the file data to the standby BCKM periodically. Once
critical faults occur to the active BCKM, the original standby BCKM functions as the
active BCKM to ens ure normal operation of the BTS.
III. CE pool design of the CCPM
The CE pool design of the CCPM enhances the reliability of the system.
IV. Status monitoring and alarm report
The BCKM can monitor the status of other boards or modules, and report alarms to
ensure timely fault location.
V. Distributed power suppl y
The system adopts distributed power supply. The DC/DC power supply module works
in the N+1 redundancy mode. When an error occurs to a module, it sends the alarm
to the BAM. It also supports online insertion and removal of boards.
5.3 Software Reliability
I. Periodic check of key resources
This function aims to check the software resource which has been occupied for a long
time. If certain resource becomes unavailable owing to software error, the check
mechanism will release that resource and output logs and alarms.
II. Process monitoring
Process monitoring provides channel for outputting various software and hardware
faults while the software is running. It can monitor the running status of a specific task
or system, and report the information to the outside

III. Data check
Check the data consistency of different processing boards, restore the data
consistency, and output logs and alarms.
Check the consistency of the data input by the user to ensure correct reference
relation among data.
Use the rollback function to restore the data to the initial state when the
modification of some data fails at certain point.
IV. Fault isolation
In the BTS3606, when a fault occurs to one software module, other software modules
can run normally.
In addition, the software has the capability of fault tolerance and correction. The minor
operation exceptions will not cause the reset or reboot of the system.
V. Software backoff
The system provides such function as program and data restoration. When the
upgrade fails, the function helps restore to the original program and data
configuration.
VI. Log function
The operation and maintenance software can automatically record users' operations
and save them into a log file. When an unknown error occurs to the system, log files
can help to trace the situation in the normal condition for fault location or data
restoration.

I. Remote maintenance
The local operation and maintenance system of the BSS is designed in Client/Server
(C/S) structure. The operation procedures are as follows:
1)
The user inputs operation commands through Local Maintenance Terminal
(LMT).
2)
As the server, the BAM processes the commands from the Clients.
3)
After the processing, the BAM sends these commands to the host (BSC or BTS)
and then waits for the response.
