Chapter 4 Main Functions
The BTS3606A supports the following CDMA2000 1x standards:
l The Um interface supports the TIA/EIA IS -2000 Rel.A standard and is compatible
with the TIA/EIA-95-A/B standard.
l The minimum performance of the BTS3606A satisfies TIA/EIA-97-D
requirements.
The BTS3606A supports the following 1xEV-DO standards:
l The Um interface supports the C.S0024-0 standard.
l The minimum performance of the BTS3606A satisfies C.S0032-0 requirements.
4.1 Power Control and Rate 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 at 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.
Operating in the CDMA2000 1x system, the BTS3606A adopts power control
mechanism. 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.
Operating in the 1xEV-DO system, the BTS3606A adopts rate control in the forward
direction, and the rate control plus power control in the reverse direction.
I. Forward power control
There are several methods to realize forward power control, depending on the MS
protocol version and the system parameters.
l 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 according to
the received control message contained in the system parameter message.
l 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 using EIB. The BTS
will adjust the transmit power according to the EIB information.
l 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 bps.
Technical Manual
Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station System Description
Chapter 4 Main Functions
4-2
As the CDMA2000 1x system supports the high-speed data service, the
requirement on forward power control becomes higher.
The forward quick power control can control the transmit power of forward channel
accurately. As a result, the interference is reduced and the capacity is increased.
II. Reverse power control
Reverse power control includes open-loop power control and closed-loop power
control. The closed-loop power control can be further classified into inner-loop power
control and outer-loop power control.
l Open-loop power control
The MS determines the transmit power to access the BTS according to the
strength of the received pilot signal.
l Close-loop power control
The BTS issues a power control command to the MS, and makes further
adjustment according to the feedback from the MS.
Figure 4-1 illustrates the principle of closed-loop power control.

Power Control Bit

quantity
Inner loop Outer loop
Figure 4-1 Close-loop power control
In the inner-loop power control, the BTS issues the power control bit according to the
received Eb/Nt value.
In the outer-loop power control, the BSC adjusts the Eb/Nt 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.
III. Rate control (only applied to 1xEV-DO forward link)
1) Forward link
The AT controls the rate of the forward traffic channel through Data Rate Control
(DRC) channel assignment.
2) Reverse link
Technical Manual
Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station System Description
Chapter 4 Main Functions
4-3
The system transmits at the maximum allowed rate through the Control Channel
(CC).
The AT first transmits at 9.6 kbps, and then increases the rate gradually according
to the Reverse Activity Bit (RAB) sent by the AN.
l If the RAB sent by all sectors in the Active Set is 0 and when a certain
condition is met, the AT multiples the rate every other 26.67 ms until the rate
reaches the maximum allowed rate.
l If the RAB sent by at least one sector in the Active Set is 1, the AT decreases
the rate by half when a certain condition is met.
4.2 Handoff
When the MS/AT 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 handoff of MS/AT to another cell/sector helps to improve the conversation quality
and network performance, it is also possible to trigger the handoff procedure.
Different from the CDMA2000 1x, the 1xEV-DO introduces virtual soft handoff function
to the forward link.
I. Soft handoff
The soft handoff happens between neighboring 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 neighboring sectors that serve on the same
frequency and belong to the same BTS. 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. Virtual soft handoff (only applied to the 1xEV-DO forward link)
The AT monitors all pilot signals in the Active Set and selects the best as its serving
sector. Then, it receives signaling messages and data from the selected sector. This
process is called virtual software handoff.
Technical Manual
Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station System Description
Chapter 4 Main Functions
4-4
A cell knows whether it is selected according to the DRC Cover.
IV. Hard handoff
In the hard handoff procedure, the MS firstly interrupts the connection with the previous
cell, and then sets up the connection with the new cell. Therefore, call drop may occur.
Hard handoff includes:
l Intra-frequency hard handoff: Handoff between the BSCs without A3/A7 interface
in-between.
l Inter-frequency hard handoff: Handoff between cells serving on different
frequencies.
4.3 Radio Configuration
The Um interface of the BTS3606A supports CDMA2000 1x. It is compatible with
1xEV-DO. The spreading rate is 1.2288 Mcps.
The CDMA2000 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 BTS3606A include:
l Forward RC1 and reverse RC1
l Forward RC2 and reverse RC2
l Forward RC3 or RC4, and reverse RC3
l Forward RC5 and reverse RC4
Each RC supports traffic channel at different data rates. The performance of the
CDMA2000 1x system varies with RCs. For example, the CDMA2000 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 are classified by the channel features. To support higher-rate data
transmission, the 1xEV-DO uses a channel design different from that of the CDMA2000
1x.
4.4.1 CDMA2000 1x Channel
The following shows the classification of the CDMA2000 1x channel.
I. Forward channel
The CDMA2000 1x forward channel includes Forward Common Channel and Forward
Dedicated Channel.
The Forward Common Channel is further divided into:
Technical Manual
Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station System Description
Chapter 4 Main Functions
4-5
l Forward Pilot Channel (F-PICH)
It provides synchronization signals to the MSs operating in the BTS coverage.
Different from other channels, the F-PICH is an unmodulated spread spectrum
signal that is always in the transmitting status.
l Forward Sync Channel (F-SYNCH)
It provides the initial time synchronization information to MSs operating in the BTS
coverage.
l Forward Paging Channel (F-PCH)
It sends the system information and MS-specific message to the MSs operating in
the BTS coverage. Each CDMA channel in a sector can support seven paging
channels at most.
l 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. As a result, the MS battery energy is saved.
l Forward Common Control Channel (CCCH)
The BTS uses this channel to send system message and message to dedicated
MS.
The Forward Dedicated Channel is further divided into:
l Forward Dedicated Control Channel (F-DCCH)
It carries traffic information and signaling information between the MS and the
BTS.
l Forward Fundamental Channel (F-FCH)
It carries traffic information between the MS and the BTS.
l 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
The CDMA2000 1x forward channel includes Reverse Common Channel and Reverse
Dedicated Channel.
The Reverse Common Channel is further divided into:
l Reverse Access Channel (R-ACH)
The MS uses this channel to communicate with the BTS and respond to paging
channel message.
Technical Manual
Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station System Description
Chapter 4 Main Functions
4-6
The MS uses random access protocol to initiate access procedure. Regarding
each supported paging channel, thirty-two access channels can be supported at
most.
l Reverse Enhanced Access Channel (R-EACH)
The MS uses this channel to initiate the communication with the BTS or respond to
dedicated paging channel message.
The Reverse Dedicated Channel is further divided into:
l Reverse Fundamental Channel (R-FCH)
It carries the traffic information between the MS and the BTS.
l Reverse Dedicated Control Channel (R-DCCH)
It carries traffic information and signaling information between the MS and the
BTS.
l Reverse Supplemental Channel (R-SCH)
It carries the traffic information between the MS and the BTS. It is applicable to
RC3 and RC4 only.
4.4.2 CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Channel
The following shows the classification of the CDMA2000 1xEV-DO channel.
I. Forward channel
The forward channel of the 1xEV-DO adopts Time Division Multiplex (TDM) mode.
It includes four types of channels: Pilot Channel, Media Access Control (MAC) Channel,
Control Channel, and Traffic Channel.
l Pilot Channel
Different from the continuous pilot of IS-95/1x system, the Pilot Channel is only
transmitted on the activated forward channels in the 1xEV-DO system.
Pilot Channel is the unmodulated signal used for synchronization of ATs under the
coverage of the sector and other functions.
l MAC Channel
There are three code sub-channels under the MAC Channel:
--Reverse Activity (RA) sub-channel, used for the reverse overload control of the
Um interface.
--Reverse Power Control (RPC) sub-channel, used for reverse power control.
--Data Rate Control Lock (DRCLock) sub-channel, used by the AN to inform the
AT whether the DRC channel of the AT can be properly demodulated. It plays an
important role in helping the AT with the forward virtual handoff.
l Control Channel
Technical Manual
Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station System Description
Chapter 4 Main Functions
4-7
The Control Channel is similar to the paging channel in the CDMA2000 1x system.
It broadcasts various overhead messages and transmits other uni-cast messages
such as paging message.
l Traffic Channel
The Traffic Channel transmits traffic data. It is multiplexed by multiple users at
different time.
II. Reverse channel
The reverse channel of the 1xEV-DO includes reverse access channel and reverse
traffic channel.
l Reverse access channel
The AT uses it to originate a call or respond to network paging message. The
reverse access channel covers Pilot sub-channel (transmitted on channel I) and
Data sub-channel (transmitted on channel Q).
l Reverse traffic channel
The reverse traffic channel covers Pilot Channel, Media Access Control (MAC)
Channel, Acknowledgement (ACK) Channel, and Data Channel.
--Pilot Channel
It helps with the coherence demodulation and phase estimation of the BTS3606A.
--MAC Channel
It consists of Reverse Rate Indicator (RRI) sub-channel and DRC sub-channel.
The AT uses the DRC sub-channel to report the quality of the forward channel to
the AN. The AN can adjust the rate and the sector for transmitting data to the AT
according to the message of DRC channel. In this way, the air resource is best
utilized.
The data channel of the reverse traffic channel uses the RRI sub-channel to
determine the rate for transmitting data.
--ACK sub-channel
It helps the AT notify the AN whether the data packet of forward traffic channel is
correctly received. This function helps adjust the forward rate forecast by the AT to
improve the performance of the system.
--Data sub-channel
It is used to transmit the reverse data. In the 1xEV-DO system, the data
sub-channel can transmit data at five rates: 9.6 kbps, 19.2 kbps, 38.4 kbps, 76.8
kbps, or 153.6 kbps.
Technical Manual
Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station System Description
Chapter 4 Main Functions

4.5 Multi-carrier
The BTS3606A supports multi-carrier technology. The single-carrier cabinet can hold
both the single-carrier and multi-carrier modules.
A single-carrier transceiver module (consisting of one CTRM and one CHPA) can
process one carrier signal. A multi-carrier transceiver module (consisting of one CMTR
and one CMPA) can process three carrier signals. Hence, in a single-carrier cabinet,
the adoption of multi-carrier transceiver module can realize the maximum configuration
of S(6/6/6), that is, 18 sector carriers.
The multi-carrier module supports the 1900 MHz and 800 MHz. The BTS3606A of later
version is expected to supported more bands.
4.6 Receiving Diversity
The BTS3606A 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.
4.7 Cell Breathing
Under the control of the BSC, the BTS3606A adjusts the transmit power to control the
effective coverage area and balance the system load as required.
When the BTS3606A provides the cell breathing function, the controllable range of the
transmit power is from 0 dB to 24 dB and the adjustment step of transmit power is 0.5

Chapter 5 Reliability Design
This chapter introduces the system reliability, hardware reliability, and software
reliability design of the BTS3606A.
5.1 System Reliability
The system reliability design involves the following aspects:
I. De-rating design
The de-rating design aims to lower the electrical stress and temperature stress on the
high-power or heat-generating components to values less than the rated ones. It delays
performance degeneration and prolongs the service life of these components.
II. Selection, control, and normalization of components
The category, specifications and manufacturers of the components are carefully
selected depending on the requirements of the product reliability and maintainability.
The replaceability and normalization of components is also important in selecting
components.
All components are high-quality ones selected through aging test. Strict quality control
is implemented on hardware assembling procedures to ensure high reliability and
stability in the long run.
III. Thermal design
The thermal design focuses on following items to minimize the impact of temperature
changes upon product performance:
l Component selection
l Circuit design
l Mechanical design
l Heat dissipation design
The thermal design of the BTS3606A ensures that it can work reliably in a wide range
of temperatures.
IV. EMC design
The EMC design ensures that the ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) from other
equipment in the same electromagnetic environment does not degrade the
performance of the BTS3606A to an unacceptable level. At the same time, the EMI
generated by the BTS3606A does not degrade the performance of other equipment in
the same electromagnetic environment to an unacceptable level.
Technical Manual
Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station System Description
Chapter 5 Reliability Design
5-2
V. Redundancy design
For the purpose of reliability, the system is designed with several sets of units
performing the same function. The system will not fail unless the number of units failed
amounts to the specified quantity.
VI. Reliability design for input voltage
l The system is protected against reverse connection of power supply.
l The input voltage is tested and alarm signal will be generated when the voltage is
too low or too high.
l The system is protected against sharp voltage drop and lightning strikes.
l The system can protect 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, user only needs to remove the cable of this board. 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 BTS3606A system can self-detect and diagnose the faults of software and
hardware. It can record, output and print various fault information. In addition, it collects
environment condition information and generates alarms if there is any problem.
When faults occur to the hardware, the system locates the fault, isolates the faulty
component, and automatically carries out switchover to the standby components that
operate normally.
The system makes a final confirmation on a hardware fault through repeated detection,
thus avoiding the reconfiguration of the system or the degradation of QoS due 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 notifies the users of critical
faults. In this way, users can operate and maintain the system with ease through
maintenance console.
5.2 Hardware Reliability
The hardware reliability design involves the following aspects:
Technical Manual
Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station System Description
Chapter 5 Reliability Design
5-3
I. Protection against wrong insertion of boards
When a board is inserted into a wrong slot, the special guide pins will prevent 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 files to the standby BCKM periodically.
Once critical faults occur to the active BCKM, the original standby BCKM will function
as the active BCKM to ensure normal operation of the BTS.
III. BCIM backup slots
The BTS3606A has BCIM backup slots. Normally the BCIMs reside in the upper slots.
When the upper slots are faulty, the lower slots are used instead.
IV. BCIM/BCKM power supply backup
The power modules of the BCIM and BCKM are mutually backed up. When the power
module of one board is faulty, the power module of another board is used instead.
V. N+1 backup for baseband fans
The baseband fans work in the N+1 backup mode. One standby fan is equipped. When
one fan is faulty, this standby fan starts working to ensure the performance of the
baseband ventilation system.
VI. Link backup of Abis interface
The BTS3606A supports the Abis interface link backup function to improve the
reliability of links. When the backup link is configured, if the active link is faulty, the
system can automatically carry out the active-standby link switchover.
VII. CE pool design of the CCPM
The CCPM adopts the CE pool design. The CCPMs are connected into a daisy chain,
which increases the utilization rate of the channel resource and enables flexible
configuration of the channel capacity of each sector carrier. This enhances the
reliability of the system.
VIII. Status monitoring and alarm report
The BCKM can monitor the status of other boards or modules, and report alarms to
ensure timely fault location.
IX. Distributed power supply
The system adopts distributed power supply. The DC/DC power supply module works
in the N+1 redundancy mode.
Technical Manual
Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station System Description
Chapter 5 Reliability Design
5-4
When an error occurs to a module, an alarm is generated and sent to the BAM. The
system also supports online insertion and removal of boards.
5.3 Software Reliability
The software reliability design involves the following aspects:
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
Data check consists of the following contents:
l Check the data consistency of different processing boards, restore the data, and
output logs and alarms.
l Check the consistency of the data input by the user to ensure correct reference
relation among data.
l Use the rollback function to restore the data to the initial state when the
modification of some data fails at a certain point.
IV. Fault isolation
In the BTS3606A, when a fault occurs to one software module, other software modules
can run normally.
The software also has the fault tolerance and correction functions. The minor operation
exceptions will not cause the reset or reboot of the system.
V. Reversible upgrade
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 user's operations
and save them into a log file.
When an unknown error occurs to the system, log files can help to find out the status in
the normal condition for fault location or data restoration.

3) After processing, the BAM sends these commands to the host (BSC or BTS) and
then waits for the response.
4) The BAM records the operation results (such as success, failure, timeout, or
abnormality) and sends the results to the LMT in a specified format.
Users can also use the BAM to manage the BTSs under its control and carry out
network planning in a centralized way.
II. Remote maintenance
The LMT visits the BTS by dialing up on the Modem to realize the remote maintenance.
When maintenance engineers cannot perform far-end maintenance owing to some
cause (for example, the IPOA maintenance channel is faulty), they can use the remote
maintenance method to maintain the BTS.
III. Near-end maintenance
In the BTS equipment room, the LMT connects to the BTS through network cables to
realize the near-end maintenance.
Users can log in to the BTS through Telnet Client and execute the MML command to
maintain the BTS.
User can also employ the reverse maintenance function to log in to the BAM from the
BTS to realize the maintenance of the whole BSS.
6.1.2 Mobile Integrated Network Management System
The M2000 system implements the centralized maintenance function. In this system,
the M2000 server is the core. Various mobile network elements (such as BSC, MSC,
and HLR) connect to the M2000 system through Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide
Area Network (WAN).
