Introduction
1.1
Overview
PureWave Networks develops carrier
carrier-class
class WiMAX 802.16e compliant Base Station equipment.
PureWave’s use of advanced multi--antenna
antenna technologies with software radio architecture enables
delivery of quadruple-play
play services (voice, video, data, and mobility) tthat
hat are competitive with DSL and
Cable services. This equipment is the most spectrally
spectrally-efficient, range-extending,
extending, wireless broadband
metropolitan-area-networking
networking equipment in its class available in the world today.
The PureWave solution consists of four major elements:
•
PureWave Quantum 1000 Base Station Sector (BSS)
•
Subscriber customer premises equipment (CPE)
•
Quad Antenna panel
•
Element management system (EMS).
The Architecture Reference Model is shown in figure 1. The Base Station Sector supports the wireless
transfer of IP (Internet Protocol) packet data and communicates wirelessly to customer premise
equipment (CPE) terminals. The interface to the ASN
ASN-GW
GW (access service network gateway) adheres to
IETF RFCs, and Ethernet standards. The Element Managem
Management
ent System (EMS) supports operations,
commissioning and network performance and characterization functions.
The Quantum 1000 Base Station provides standard WiMax smart antenna support:
•
AAS processing (beam forming and null steering)
•
AMC-like subchannel assignments
The system uses advanced technology to realize exceptional performance gains:
•
Fast transmit/receive compensation necessary for channel reciprocity for mobility,
•
Complexity-reducing
reducing algorithms that allow more than 2 antennas per sector,
•
Processing
sing algorithms that virtually eliminate interference instead of beam steering algorithms
that provide limited benefits and do not scale to multi
multi-cell deployments, and
•
Flexibility to grow coverage by adding sectors in a compact and modular fashion.
A Quantum
tum 1000 Base Station Sector provides 8 times the spectral efficiency and significant link gain
relative to standard WiMax Wave-2
2 solutions.
The benefits are:
•
High capacity deployments using fewer channels,
•
Reduced or no cell planning,
•
Fewer base stations
ions are needed to cover a region, and
•
Improved user performance.
The base station is highly modular. The key comp
components
onents are power units, Linux processing card, network
processing cards, and RF modules for interfacing to available frequency bands. The Base
Ba Station
connects to multiple single-antenna
antenna units or a multi
multi-antenna radome.

1.2
System Components
The PureWave System is composed of a Base Station Sector (which is itself connected to an antenna or
antenna array) and subscriber stations (also known as customer premises equipment (CPE)), which
connect to each other through an air int
interface
erface (airlink) and to their respective networks (figure 2). Base
Station connect to their customer or provider networks, also known as backhaul networks, via a provider
interface, whereas CPE connect to their subscriber or user networks through a subscri
subscriber
ber interface.
Base Station have hardware, software, and mechanical characteristics that support their functional and
performance requirements. Base Station and CPEs interconnect with each other and their respective
networks via sets of network, MAC, and PHY protocols.

Base Station
2.1
Overview
The Quantum 1000 employs an extremely flexible and versatile hardware architecture. The heart of the
base station is a sophisticated and highly integrated ASIC that combines 6 DSP and general purpose
processor cores along with specialized
cialized DSP hardware. A Linux-based
based subsystem supports applications,
SNMP and other management functions. Finally,,the
,the Quantum 1000 includes 2 RF transmitters and
associated
ociated PAs, and 4 RF receivers (refer to figure 3).
Important characteristics of the Quantum 1000 Base Station Sector are:
•
•
•
•
•
Board-to-board
board communications for scaling up to 16 antennas.
10 MHz profile
WiMAX OFDMA compliance
All layers implemented in software.
2.3 – 2.7 GHz and 3.3 – 3.7 GHz operations.
PureWave has implemented a scalable architecture that lets service providers upgrade their Base
Stations by:
•
•
•
•
Adding more Base Station Sector to a location
Adding antennas (and corresponding RF module sets) within a sector
Adding processing capability in order to process traffic within additional spectrum
Upgrading software to allow for changes in features and standards.

Figure 5 – High Level SW Architecture
The PureWave Quantum is an
n 802.16e WiMAX base station. It contains two major silicon devices, one
comprising the Network and Management processor (sometimes referred to as “the PowerQuicc or “the
Linux”), and the other comprising the baseband PHY and MAC processors. The Network Processor is
the system Manager and the baseband SoC (sometimes called the “Modem” or the “Modem”) is
essentially a high-powered
d signal processor. See Figure 3.
The Network Processor is based on a Freescale PowerQuicc II, which ccontains
ontains a standard PowerPC core
plus a “Quicc” engine for packet processing. The PowerPC runs Linux and hosts many highly complex
applications including an SNMP device management agent, multiple databases, web server, CLI, logging
and other system services.. The other SoC is a WiMAX baseband processor. It contains three ARM9
cores, four general Tensilica cores and a fifth tensilica
tensilica-based
based DSP core. Together these perform network
processing, MAC and PHY tasks. The ARMs run the ThreadX operating system; the other
oth cores do not
have a traditional RTOS.
The Network Processor connects to the external backhaul through a pair of gigabit Ethernet ports, and to
the Modem through two 100/1000MB
MB Gigabit Ethernet ports. These ports carry a mix of traffic and
management/control
ntrol messages. Various protocols carried over the two Ethernets link the applications,
including TCP/IP, UDP and custom Ethernet frames.

Once the Base Station enclosure has been mounted, the following connections must be made.
•
POWER:: Provides the DC power source for the Base Station unit.
•
GND: This provides a ground connection point for the Base Station. It is important to ensure that
the Base Station is professionally grounded and complies with all local relevant grounding
electrical codes.
•
GPS ANT: This port provides
ides the connection between the GPS antenna (external) and the GPS
receiver module (internal). GPS is used by the Base Station Sector to synchronize its TDD gate
to those of Base Stations in neighboring cells.

•
RS232: This is the serial interface to the Base Station. This interface will be primarily used for
“out of the box” configuration and debug purposes when directed by PureWave Technical
Support Engineers.
•
E-NET 1: This Gigabit Ethernet port provides the data traffic backhaul interface that should be
connected to the Service Provider’s network equipment. This port allows in-band
band management of
the Base Station.

In addition,
this port can be used for daisy
aisy chaining to another base station or to connect to an external
device such as a web Camera
Camera. The
he traffic coming from the daisy chain connector shall be
aggregated and passed through the backhauling connector
connector.
NOTE:
DO NOT POWER ON THE BASE STATION OR REMO
REMOVE THE BASE STATION POWER UNLESS THE
TWO TRANSMITTING ANTENNA
ENNA PORTS (ANT 1 AN
AND ANT 2) ARE EITHER TERMINATED BY A
SUITABLE RF LOAD OR AN ANTENNA. A FAILUR
FAILURE TO ENSURE THIS, AT ALL TIMES, COULD
RESULT IN INTERNAL
NAL DAMAGE TO THE BA
BASE STATION (FIGURE 12).
Figure 12 - Base Station Connected
Connect the two transmitting ports (ANT 1 and ANT 2) to the two outer most elements of the actual
antenna thus ensuring that the transmission paths are as far apart as possible on the 4 available antenna
ports.
It is also important that while the base sstation
tation is operating at maximum power levels, the transmitting
antenna ports remain terminated. Removal of the transmitter load while operating at high output powers is
not recommended and may result in damage to the base station.
2.6
Power
The Base Station DC power requirements is such that the external DC source needs to be capable of
delivering up to 4 Amps of current at -48 VDC. The Base Station nominally runs at approx 2 Amps at 48VDC. PureWave provides the power connector to the Base S
Station (Tyco P/N 796094-2)
796094 as part of the
Installation kit (figure 13).
The "Tyco"" power connector that is used on the Base Station will accommodate 14 to 18 gauge wire.
Remember to take account of the voltage drop when running long power cable runs. For example, for 18
AWG, for a cable length of 100
00 feet, a nominal 48VDC supply delivering into a 2A
A load will lead to a
voltage drop of 2.7 volts.
Please ensure that the DC power source is powered off and solder the -48
48 VDC wires to connector pins 1
and 2. Solder the 48 VDC Return wires to pins 3 and 4 (figures 14 to 16).

GPS
This port provides the connection between the GPS antenna (external) and the GPS receiver module
(internal). GPS is used by the Base Station to synchronize its TDD gate to those of Base Stations in
neighboring cells. Connect the coaxial cable from the external GPS antenna to the SMA-type
SMA
female
connector marked “GPS” on the bottom right corner of the Base Station unit (refer to figure 18).
1 Typical
GPS antennas are shown in figure 1
19.

No software pre-configuration
ration is required and all that is needed is to connect the Base Station to a GPS.
When the Base Station detects that a 1 pps GPS signal is present then it will synchronize its TDD gate to
the GPS and if it does not detect a 1 pps GPS signal then it will ssynchronize
ynchronize to its own internal source.
In the event that there are co-located
located multiple Base Stations, it is important to synchronize all the Base
Station to a 1 pps GPS such that this will co
co-ordinate
ordinate all Base Station to transmit and receive
concurrently. This is especially important if neighboring Base Stations are set to operate on overlapping
or identical frequency channels.
2.8
Antenna
A low-loss,
loss, coaxial cable has to be connected to each of the N
N-type
type female connectors located on the
back of the antenna panel and the respective antenna port on the base of the Base Station Sector. The
co-axial
axial cable must be capable of propagating the rel
relevant
evant RF frequency and therefore it is
recommended to use any high-performance,
performance, low
low-loss 400-series
series coaxial cable (i.e. Hyperlink
Technologies P/N CA3N100 or Times Microwave LMR 400).The order of antenna connections is
unimportant.
The important consideration
ation is the length of the co
co-axial
axial cable as this will affect the amount of signal loss
and thus effective range of the system. In the case that the Base Station unit is installed outdoors and
close to the antenna, then the co-axial
axial cable runs can be kept short and thus loss is minimized. If the
Base Station unit is installed indoors with long cable runs up the tower to the antennas then the amount of
signal loss will need to be calculated to ensure that adequate range will still be achieved. As an example,
a Times Microwave LMR400 cable has an attenuation loss of 6.8dB per 100 feet at a frequency of
2.5GHz.
For your information, the procedure to install co
co-axial
axial connectors is provided in Appendix A.
Note: It is strongly recommended that appropriate lightn
lightning
ing surge protection devices are
installed (refer to section 3). Please ensure that appropriate weather protection is applied to all
outdoor N-type
type coaxial connections.
One antenna panel is used for each Base Station. The antenna panel is populated with a number of
directional patch-element
element strips. All elements are enclosed within a single radome and common, rear
mounting plate. Access to each element (antenna) is provide
provided by a dedicated N-type
type female coaxial RF
connector. Thus, for a 4-element
element antenna panel configuration there are a total of 4 exposed RF
connectors protruding from the rear mounting plate (refer to figures 20 and 21).
The specifications for the 2.5GHz and
nd the 3.65GHz antenna’s are detailed in Appendix A.

2.8.1 Antenna Mounting Kit
The procedure to install the antenna mounting kit is detailed below. It is recommended that that mounting
kit is attached to the antenna prior to hoisting up the tower.
