4.2 Radio Network Function
4.2.1 Power Control
The CDMA system is a self-jamming system, in which every subscriber is an
interference source to other subscribers. Power control directly affects the system
capacity and the service quality. If it is possible to ensure that every MS transmits the
minimum power it needs, the whole system capacity can be the largest.
Power control can be divided into forward power control and reverse power control.
The forward power control is used to control BTS’s transmit power while the reverse
power control aims to control MS’s transmit power.
I. Forward power control
Forward power control has various methods, whose applications are subject to the MS
protocol version and the system parameters.
z Power control based on PMRM
When the MS adopts power control based on Power Measurement Report Message
(PMRM), it will determine the method and frequency of reporting PMRM in accordance
with the received control message of the system parameter message.
z Power control based on EIB
When the MS adopts power control based on Erasure Indicator Bit (EIB), it will detect
forward frame quality, and feed back the information to the BTS via EIB. The BTS will
adjust the transmit power according to EIB information.
z Forward fast power control
The MS will adjust BTS power according to power control bit (the maximum speed can
reach 800bit/s). In the CDMA2000 1X system, high speed data service is supported.
Therefore, the requirement on forward power control is increasingly strict. The forward
fast power control method can control forward channel transmit power accurately, so as
to reduce interference and improve 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 divided into inner loop power control and
outer loop power control.
z Open-loop power control

Technical Manual
Airbridge BTS3612A CDMA Base Station System Description
Chapter 4 Main Functions
4-3
The MS will determine the transmit power to access the BTS according to the received
pilot signal strength.
z Close-loop power control
The BTS issues power control command to the MS, and performs the adjustment
according to MS feedback. The principle of close-loop power control is shown in the
following figure.
MS BTS BSC
Eb/Nt FER
Power control bit
Eb/Nt changing quantity
Inner loop Outer loop
Figure 4-1 Close-loop power control
In inner loop power control mode, the BTS will issue power control bit according to the
received Eb/Nt value.
In outer power control mode, the BSC will adjust preset Eb/Nt value according to the
Frame Error Rate (FER) of the received reverse signal. Then the BTS will use the
newly set Eb/Nt value to issue power control bit. In this way, the transmit power of MS
can be controlled.
4.2.2 Handoff
When the MS is moving out of the coverage of current cell/sector or the conversation
quality deteriorates to an unbearable 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,
handoff procedure may also be triggered.
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.
![](/img.php?id=384039&img=bg16.png)
Technical Manual
Airbridge BTS3612A CDMA Base Station System Description
Chapter 4 Main Functions
4-4
In soft handoff procedure, the MS will maintain the connection with the previous cell
until it establishes the communication with the new cell. During handoff procedure, the
MS can establish radio links with multiple cells, select and combine data received from
these links so as to improve conversation quality and reduce call drops.
II. Softer handoff
The softer handoff happens between adjacent cells 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 hard handoff procedure, the MS will firstly interrupt the connection with the previous
cell, and then set up the connection with the new cell. There is a chance of call drop.
Hard handoff includes:
z Intra-frequency hard handoff: Handoff between the BSCs with no A3/A7 interface
in-between.
z Inter-frequency hard handoff: Handoff between cells of different frequencies.
4.2.3 Radio Configuration
The Um interface of BTS3612A supports CDMA2000 1X, and is compatible with
IS-95A/B. The spreading rate is 1.2288Mcps.
The CDMA2000 1X physical layer supports multiple Radio Configurations (RC). Each
radio configuration supports the frames of the different rate sets, and possesses
different channel configuration and spreading spectrum structure.
The transmission combinations supported by BTS3612A include:
z Forward RC1, and reverse RC1.
z Forward RC2, and reverse RC2.
z Forward RC3 or RC4, and reverse RC3.
z Forward RC5, and reverse RC4.
Each RC supports different traffic channel data rate. With different RC, the CDMA2000
1X can present different capabilities. RC1 and RC2 are compatible with IS-95A/B.

4.2.4 Channel Configuration
A series of physical channels have been defined on the Um interface. These physical
channels are divided into different types according to the channel features. Different
RCs support different channels.
I. Forward channel
z Forward Common Channel
Forward Pilot Channel (F-PICH): Provides the MSs in the BTS coverage with
synchronization signals. Different from other channels, the F-PICH is a spread
spectrum signal which is not modulated and is transmitting continuously.
Forward Sync Channel (F-SYNCH): Provides the MSs in the BTS coverage with initial
synchronization information.
Forward Paging Channel (F-PCH): Sends overhead message and MS-specific
message to the MSs in the BTS coverage. Each frequency in a sector supports seven
paging channels at most.
Forward Quick Paging Channel (F-QPCH): Used to send paging order and the system
configuration changing order to MSs working in slotted mode, instructing them to
receive the paging messages. Thus the MS battery energy can be saved.
z Forward Dedicated Channel
Forward Dedicated Control Channel (F-DCCH): Bears traffic information and signaling
information between the MS and the BTS.
Forward Fundamental Channel (F-FCH): Bears traffic information between the MS and
the BTS.
Forward Supplemental Channel (F-SCH): Bears traffic information between the MS
and the BTS. It is applicable to RC3, RC4 and RC5 only.
II. Reverse channel
z Reverse common channel
Reverse Access Channel (R-ACH): Used by the MS to initiate the communication with
the BTS, and respond to paging channel message. MS uses random access protocol to
initiate access procedure. Regarding each paging channel supported, maximum 32
access channels can be supported.
z Reverse dedicated channel
Reverse Fundamental Channel (R-FCH): Bears traffic information between the MS and
the BTS.

Reverse Common Control Channel (R-DCCH): Bears traffic information and signaling
information between the MS and the BTS.
Reverse Supplemental Channel (R-SCH): Bears traffic information between the MS
and the BTS. It is applicable to RC3 and RC4 only.
4.2.5 Receiving Diversity
The BTS3612A supports receiving diversity function. The function is realized through
two sets of independent equipment, including antenna, feeder, CDU/DDU/DFU and
main/diversity receiving channels.
The two sets of receiving equipment demodulate the received signals. Then the
baseband processing unit decodes the signals using diversity combining algorithm,
which is expected to provide some diversity gain.
The receiving diversity increases the anti-attenuation capability of the BTS and ensures
the receiving quality of the BTS under complicated radio environment.
4.2.6 Cell Breathing
The BTS3612A can control the coverage of a cell and balance system load by adjusting
the transmit power. This function has great significance for the CDMA system. The
transmit power of BTS3612A ranges from "1dB" to "24dB", which can be adjusted at a
step of "0.5dB".

Chapter 5 Reliability Design
5.1 System Reliability
I. De-rating design
To delay performance degeneration and prolong the service life of high-power
components and heat-generating components, less stress (electrical stress and
temperature stress) is to be borne during operation by these components than their
designed capabilities.
II. Quality control of components
The category, specifications and manufacturers of the components are carefully
selected and examined according to the requirements of the product reliability and
maintainability. The replaceability and normalization of components is one of the main
factors for the decision. Strict quality control is implemented on hardware assembling
procedures to ensure high reliability and stability in long run.
III. Thermal design
The heat design primarily concerns the component selection, circuit design,
mechanical design and heat dissipation design so that the impact of temperature
changes upon product performance is minimized. The thermal design of BTS3612A
ensures that it can work reliably in a wide range of temperatures.
IV. EMC design
The design ensures that the BTS3612A will not degrade to an unacceptable level due
to the electromagnetic interference (EMI) from other equipment in the same
electromagnetic environment. At the same time, the BTS3612A will not cause other
equipment in the same electromagnetic environment to degrade to an unacceptable
level due to the EMI from it.
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 specified sets of units
fail.

The input voltage of the -48V power supply is checked and alarm signal will be
generated when the voltage is too low or too high.
The system is protected again sharp voltage drop and lightning strikes.
The system provides protection for program and data in the case of power failure.
VII. Maintenability design
The reasonable internal wiring of the BTS facilitates boards replacement. To replace a
faulty board, only the cable of this board is required to be removed. The board can be
pulled out from the front side of the cabinet.
Board indicators are provided to help users identify board status.
VIII. Fault monitoring and handling
The BTS3612A is equipped with the functions of self-detection and fault diagnosis. It
can record, output and print various fault information. It can also collect environment
condition information and generate alarms if there is any problem.
The hardware fault detection procedures include fault locating, isolating the faulty
components and automatic switchover to active components. The system will make a
final confirmation on a hardware fault through repeated detection, thus avoiding the
system reconfiguration or QoS deterioration due to contingent faults.
When faults occur to software, certain automatic error-correction function will be
executed, including restarting and reloading. Critical faults will be recorded, output or
printed, and notified to users through network management system.
5.2 Hardware Reliability
I. Protection against wrong insertion of boards
When a board is plugged in the slot of another board by mistake, the special pins will
prevent the board from touching the backplane. This avoids the possible damage to the
equipment due to wrong insertion.
II. Active-standby switchover of BCKM
The active BCKM will back up the file data to the standby one periodically. Once critical
faults occur to the active BCKM, it will trigger active-standby switchover to secure
normal operation of the BTS.

module, it will send 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 software resource which has been occupied for a long time.
If certain resource becomes unavailable due to software error, the check mechanism
will release that resource and output logs and alarm.
II. Process monitoring
Process monitoring provides channel for outputting various software and hardware
faults while the software is running. It can monitor the status of a specific task or system
running, and report the information to the outside.
III. Data check
Data check functions include:
z The consistency check for data of different processing boards, restore of data
consistency and output of log files and alarms.
z The consistency check for the data input by the user to ensure correct reference
relation among data.
z The rollback function. If the modification of some data fails at certain point, the
data will be restored to the initial status so as to ensure data consistency.
IV. Fault isolation
The BTS3612A has the feature of isolating module software faults. When a fault occurs
to one module, other modules will not be affected. In addition, the software has the
