Overview of field upgrade
Overview of field upgrade
This document provides instructions for upgrading an existing Nokia MetroSite
BTS installation. Field upgrades are done for the following reasons:
•
Upgrade of TRXs from GSM to GSM/EDGE transmission (including
upgrade from 1W TRXs, if relevant).
•
Upgrade of BTS capacity by chaining to include up to 12 TRXs.
This chapter describes the upgrade options in more detail and the working order
for the upgrade procedures.
1.1
GSM to GSM/EDGE upgrade
A GSM MetroSite BTS installation is upgraded to EDGE transmission by
replacing the GSM TRX units with 5W GSM/EDGE TRXs or by adding 5W
GSM/EDGE TRXs to any spare TRX slots in the BTS.
A software upgrade to CX 3.0 or later is also required for upgrade to EDGE. This
is done locally at the BTS during commissioning with Nokia BTS Manager.
Note
With the 5W GSM/EDGE TRXs, MetroSite can operate with either GSM or
EDGE transmission.
If the MetroSite BTS still contains 1W TRXs, a higher capacity cooling fan and
a different power supply unit must also be fitted to the BTS when the TRXs are
upgraded to 5W GSM/EDGE TRXs.
1.1.1
Working order for GSM/EDGE upgrade
The procedures to be completed and the working order in which they are done are
presented below.

Operation. In the case of a BTS chaining upgrade, the extra BTS cabinets should
be already installed and checked.
If the site does not meet the requirements in the checklist, complete the site
deficiency reports and report to the Installation Manager / Site Manager before
continuing with the upgrade.
2.4.1
Checking environmental conditions on the site
Check the site conditions before starting the upgrade procedures. In the case of
precipitation (rain, snow or sleet), the site must be weather-guarded during the
upgrading procedure to prevent damage to the units when the BTS cover is
removed. Note the following:

Replacing or installing new TRX units
Replacing or installing new TRX units
A MetroSite BTS can be upgraded to EDGE by replacing 1W or 5W GSM TRX
units with 5W GSM/EDGE units.
Additional TRXs can also be added to a single BTS (up to four TRXs) in order to
increase the BTS’s capacity or to add EDGE capability.
A 5W GSM/EDGE TRX can be commissioned to operate on GSM or
GSM/EDGE transmission.
Note
It is possible for a BTS to contain a mixture of 5W GSM and 5W GSM/EDGE
TRX units.
Figure 9 shows the slot order of TRX units in a MetroSite BTS. TRX 1 is always
the master TRX.

Chaining Nokia MetroSite EDGE BTSs
Chaining Nokia MetroSite EDGE BTSs
One or two Nokia MetroSite EDGE BTS cabinets can be added as slave cabinets
to a master BTS, increasing the capacity to anything between five and 12 TRXs
in one BCF object.
Chaining is done by connecting chaining cables from the interface unit (VIFA) of
the master BTS to the interface unit of the slave BTS. If a three cabinet chain is
required, a further cable is used to connect the first slave to the second slave in
series. See Figure 12 for an illustration of the chaining connection.
The following requirements apply to the chaining feature:
DN00187365
Issue 2-0 en
•
An FXC transmission unit is required in the master BTS. The slave BTS
cabinets do not require a transmission unit.
•
TRX 1 in the master BTS is the master TRX for the chained unit.
•
CX 3.0 software or later must be loaded to the BTS from the BSC.
