A base transceiver station (such as a Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station) is connected to a transmission node (such as a Nokia MetroHub Transmission Node) or directly to the base station controller (BSC) via the Abis interface and to the mobile stations (MS) via the Air interface (see Figure 1). The BSC is further connected to the mobile switching centre (MSC) and to the operational support system (OSS). DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft 15 (98) Product Description BTS Abis interface BSC Transmission BTS node Abis Abis Air interface interface interface BTS Abis interface Figure 1. 2.2 Base station system (BSS) Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is a complete, all-climate base transceiver station. It can be used in GSM 900, 1800 and 1900 and GSM/EDGE 800, 900, 1800 and 1900 systems, or as a dual band GSM 900/1800 or dual band GSM/EDGE 900/1800, 800/1800 or 800/1900 BTS. Both omni and sectored configurations are supported. The small-sized Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station cabinet accommodates up to four transceiver units (TRXs). The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can be fitted with 5W GSM TRXs or 5W GSM/EDGE TRXs. Note The introduction of EDGE requires EDGE capable TRXs. EDGE also requires CX 3.2 software (or later) to be available at the BSC. 16 (98) © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft Introduction to the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station Figure 2. Nokia MetroSite - an ideal solution for dense, urban environment The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is the core element in the Nokia MetroSite Capacity Solution, which comprises complete sites equipped with BTSs, transmission equipment, and auxiliary equipment. However, the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can be integrated into other mobile network applications as well. The optimised RF performance, the versatile installation options, and the flexible radio transmission solution using Nokia MetroHopper Radio for last-kilometre access, allow for a large number of BTSs being installed in a small area. Consequently, the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is an ideal solution for special hot spots - like downtown areas, sports arenas, shopping centres, underground stations and office buildings - where high capacity is needed. Note For more information on the Nokia MetroHopper Radio, see the Nokia MetroHopper Product Overview. DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft 17 (98) Product Description In order to ensure a high quality of calls, the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station supports versatile features, such as frequency hopping. Due to its compact size, low weight, and high level of integration, the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is fast and easy to install, either indoors or outdoors with minimal preparations. Both wall and pole installations are supported. From the network planning point of view, the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can be installed at optimal locations. The plug-in construction of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station also provides great flexibility when, for example, capacity expansion is considered. In addition to its other versatile and advanced properties, the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is designed for easy commissioning. This has been achieved by the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager, which incorporates a commissioning wizard and BTS configuration autodetection. The Nokia MetroSite EDGE base station’s size and ease of deployment help the operator to reduce site planning and site acquisition costs. The fast start-up and the quick integration into the network enable immediate revenue flow to the operator. Furthermore, the operational costs are low as the BTS management is to a large extent carried out remotely from the OSS. 18 (98) © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station features Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station features This chapter describes the technical properties of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station that contribute to: • Microcellular capacity • Network quality • Data services • Deployment • Operation and maintenance A description of the advanced telecommunication features is also presented here. A detailed description of technical features supported by the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can be found in the Feature Descriptions document delivered in the Nokia MetroSite Base Station Software Release Binder. For a list of Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station properties, see also Chapter 8 in this document. 3.1 Building capacity with the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station The features described in this section accommodate the efficient building of capacity such as microcellular, building infill and roadside coverage. 3.1.1 Four TRX BTS with flexible sectoring and dual band operation One Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station incorporates up to four TRXs and thus provides sufficient capacity to handle a large amount of telecommunication traffic. The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can be sectored very flexibly. Every TRX has its own antenna connector. Every TRX also incorporates a duplex filter, and one antenna therefore handles both transmitting and receiving. Any cell can incorporate up to four TRXs and, on the other hand, every TRX can form a sector of its own within a cell. Consequently, the maximum number of sectors for a stand-alone BTS is four. DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft 19 (98) Product Description The dual band feature enables the operator to configure any sector to operate either on a 900 or 1800 MHz frequency, thus increasing the capacity of the network. With CX 3.2 software, or later, the 800/1800 MHz and 800/1900 MHz dual band frequencies are also possible. More information on the coverage areas created with different sectoring options can be found in Section 4.1 in this document. Note The term “cell” is used in the network management system (NMS) context, referring to the coverage area of transceivers from the same base station. 3.1.2 Chaining of Nokia MetroSite EDGE base stations Internal bus and Abis chaining are both possible with the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station. For more information on Abis chaining, refer to Section 4.2. To further increase the capacity expansion possibilities, Nokia MetroSite EDGE base stations can be chained as one BCF object to include up to 12 TRXs. Chaining is done by extending the BTS internal buses through the extension interface on the interface unit. Each BTS is connected to the next BTS in the chain with only one cable (up to five metres). Only one of the BTSs (the master BTS) incorporates a transmission unit (FXC type). One BTS acts as the master BTS, in which the master TRX of the chain is located. However, each BTS has a dedicated TRX to control the heating and cooling functions. The chained BTSs share the same frame clock (FCLK) and frame number and the sector configuration is therefore not limited by the cabinet boundaries. The chain can be commissioned in various diversity configurations. For example, a chain with three BTSs could be configured with two sectors and six TRXs per sector. The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can also be connected to a Nokia MetroHub Transmission Node. In this case, the BTS cabinet must incorporate a transmission unit. 20 (98) © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station features 3.1.3 RF power and sensitivity for microcellular applications The RF performance of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is suitable for microcellular, building infill and roadside coverage applications. The maximum RF power of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station transmitter is 5 W at the antenna connector. The maximum RF power of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station in EDGE modulation mode is 3.2 W. The RX sensitivity is better than 106 dBm. The output power and the receiver sensitivity of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station, together with the use of surrounding buildings to limit the cell size, allow efficient frequency re-use with minimised interference. The dynamic power level range of the transmitter and the static broadcast control channel (BCCH) power level range are shown in Table 1. Table 1. 3.1.4 Power level ranges for the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station Property GMSK modulation 8-PSK modulation Static power level range (BCCH) 18 dB 10 dB Total power level range (static + dynamic) 30 dB 16 dB Step size 2 dB 2 dB Smooth capacity expansion As the operator’s demand for capacity grows, additional TRXs can be installed to the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station during operation without interrupting the BTS service. 3.2 High network quality The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station increases the capacity of the network and also maintains the quality of telecommunication traffic. This section describes the features that contribute to the high network quality. 3.2.1 Receiver diversity Receiver diversity (also known as uplink diversity) is available in the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station when two or more TRXs belong to the same sector. DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft 21 (98) Product Description Multipath propagation of the radio signal may cause local variations of signal strength. Deep fades, particularly when the mobile station is near a cell border, reduce the quality of the received signal. To minimise this effect, a spatial or polarisation receiver diversity can be used, which means that two different paths are used for the received signals. Antennas are placed physically apart or they employ different polarisation so that correlation between received signals is minimised. It is probable that even if one of the receiver branches suffers from a deep fading drop, the other receives a signal of sufficient quality. The two separate paths are processed in the baseband section of the BTS transceiver, and the pre-detection weighted summing method is used to combine the signals of the two branches. Diversity can be enabled or disabled from the BSC. When diversity is employed, the BTS must be physically equipped according to the logical sector configuration at the BSC. 3.2.2 Frequency hopping The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station supports synthesised (RF) frequency hopping when there are at least two TRXs in the same sector. The most significant property of frequency hopping is that it enables averaging of the interference to RF signal between network users. Frequency hopping can be used to minimise signal quality degradation caused by frequency selective fading, especially for slow moving MSs and narrow band interfering signals. Synthesised frequency hopping enables each TRX to change frequency on successive time slots, so that a given carrier can hop at several frequencies in quick succession. It is possible to use either a cyclic or random frequency hopping scheme as defined in GSM 05.02, 05.08 recommendations. 3.2.3 Antenna solution The MetroSite antenna is a small and unobtrusive dual band antenna designed for microcellular, building infill and roadside coverage. It is a directional two-port antenna with two antenna elements in one casing. This means that two TRXs can be connected to one antenna. The gain of the antenna is 6 dBi and it provides 130° coverage. Other directional, omnidirectional and cross-polarised antennas can also be used with the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station. Furthermore, distributed antenna systems (DAS), which are primarily used for building fill-in coverage, can be employed. 22 (98) © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station features When the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station itself is installed inside a building, the antennas can be located outdoors. The size of antenna feeders, 1/4” and 3/8”, support the flexibility of installation. The TRX test includes an antenna cable detection feature which, in most of the cases, verifies whether the cable connection between the TRX and the antenna is free of faults. 3.3 Telecommunication features The most important telecommunication features supported by the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station software are discussed in this section. The basic features are presented as a list in Section 8.3. A detailed description of all the telecommunication features can be found in the software release documentation. Half rate speech coding The use of half rate (HR) speech coding makes it possible to almost double the amount of available traffic channels on the radio path. This is achieved with the existing transmission lines on the Abis interface. Half rate coding enables the use of 8 Kbit/s channels. Enhanced full rate speech coding Enhanced full rate (EFR) speech coding improves the voice quality in all channel conditions. The coding is based on improvements made for half rate coding applied to the existing GSM full rate channel coding. Support for data services The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station supports a number of features that enable efficient data traffic. The most advanced of those features are dealt with here. See also Section 3.3.1 in this document. DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft • High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCD). This feature provides accelerated data rates for the end-user applications such as browsing the Internet, file transfer and facsimile. • 14.4 Kbit/s GSM data services provide accelerated user data rates at 14.4 Kbit/s level. This feature can be combined with HSCSD. • Non-transparent and transparent data (9600, 4800, 2400 bit/s). Nontransparent means that the data rate can be changed automatically during the call (due to increased traffic, for example). Transparent data uses a fixed data rate throughout the duration of a call. © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft 23 (98) Product Description 3.3.1 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) GPRS is designed to make the GSM data services more compatible with LAN, WAN, and the Internet. In GPRS, the radio resources are used only when there actually is data to be sent or received. GPRS also provides immediate connectivity and very short set-up for sending a data packet. The throughput is as high as in high speed circuit switched data (HSCSD). The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station supports GPRS coding schemes 1 and 2. 3.3.2 Enhanced General Packet Radio Service (EGPRS) EGPRS is built on top of GPRS to increase the data rate of GPRS by applying EDGE modulation and increasing the Air interface throughput. The data rate of GPRS is increased up to threefold with EGPRS. The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station supports EGPRS modulation and coding schemes (MCS) 1 to 7. EGPRS requires EDGE capable TRXs to be fitted in the BTS and CX 3.2 software or later. 3.4 Easy and fast deployment This section describes the installation and commissioning procedures of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station. The detailed task-oriented instructions can be found in Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station: Installation and in Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station: Commissioning. 3.4.1 Installation Variety of installation possibilities Due to its small size, unobtrusive appearance, low weight, and high level of integration, the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station accommodates a variety of new installation possibilities. The extended environmental performance of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station enables installation indoors and outdoors, even in extreme climatic conditions. Mounting options are available for both wall and pole installations. The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can also be mounted horizontally on its back. For more information on mounting positions refer to Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station: Requirements for Installation and Operation. Delivery and installation procedure The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is delivered to the site with the ordered plug-in units pre-installed. Shield units are installed in those unit slots that are not occupied by functional units. The purpose of shield units is to provide protection for the backplane connectors, ensure optimal air flow inside the cabinet, and provide EMC and weather shielding for the BTS. 24 (98) © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station features After unpacking the delivery, some of the units can be removed from the BTS to make it easier to handle. Usually, removing only the TRXs makes the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station light enough to handle. The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is then installed on a wall or a pole. In wall mountings, the packing cardboard can be used as a template for drilling the anchor screw holes to the wall. In pole mountings, an additional pole mounting kit is used to attach the BTS to the installation pole. After the removed plug-in units are reinstalled, the cabinet ground and power cables are connected. The next step is to connect the diversity cables, transmission cables and antenna cables. Then the BTS is powered up and commissioning is started. Finally, the lock and the cover are installed to the BTS. 3.4.2 Commissioning with the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager is a PC-based tool which includes a commissioning wizard that guides the user throughout the whole commissioning process. Autodetection The BTS software includes an autodetection feature which identifies the BTS hardware. This reduces the time spent for commissioning as the user does not have to create a separate HW database for the BTS. The system data is replicated to each TRX so that none of the BTS parameters are lost when the units are replaced. No external measuring devices are needed for BTS commissioning tests. The task-oriented instructions for each step can be found in Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station: Commissioning document. DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft 25 (98) Product Description Figure 3. Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager Commissioning Wizard Manual commissioning Before the commissioning at the BTS site can be started, the following tasks must be performed: • The LAPD links must be created at the BSC • The PCM port at the BSC must be set to active The commissioning procedure performed on site with the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager includes the following steps: • Transmission configuration • Checking alarms and EACs • Running the tests • Creating the BTS commissioning report In the near future, the use of the Site Configuration File (SCF) will considerably ease the commissioning as most of the parameters can be fed directly from the file, for example, the Abis time slot allocation can be automated. The Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager automatically produces a commissioning report at the end of the commissioning process. 26 (98) © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station features 3.5 Advanced operation and maintenance The features concerning the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station are described in this section. During operation, the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is managed remotely from the OSS. Site visits to carry out routine O&M tasks are not usually needed. 3.5.1 Integration of TRX and base control functions (BCF) One of the TRXs is configured as the master TRX of the BTS. Physically there is no difference between the master TRX and the slave TRXs. In addition to the normal TRX functions, the master TRX handles the BTS operation and maintenance functions. Consequently, there is no need for a dedicated plug-in unit to handle these functions. For more information refer to Section 6.1.2. The O&M signalling and TRX signalling can also be combined into one channel to optimise the use of transmission capacity. 3.5.2 BTS diagnostics, alarms and TRX test Alarm diagnostics The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station features a BTS diagnostics system that considerably reduces the number of alarms. Relevant alarm information is easily accessible and understandable. A detailed description of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station alarms can be found in the software release documentation. The alarm diagnostics system filters out spurious alarms, reporting only those alarms that directly affect the BTS service level. The alarms are addressed to the unit level, which helps the maintenance engineers locate the faulty unit. In the case of a mains power failure, the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station provides sufficient backup time for an alarm to be sent to the BSC. TRX test The TRX test is a multipurpose test designed for testing the total performance of the intended TRX and Radio Time Slot (RTS). The test can be run locally from the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager, or remotely from the BSC/OSS when the Abis connection is established. Locally, the TRX test is usually performed during commissioning of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station. DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft 27 (98) Product Description The TRX test covers all functions between the Abis and Air interfaces: digital and RF parts, antenna cable detection, RX sensitivity, and TX level. The main reason for providing a single multipurpose test is to minimise the total test time; once the time slot is reserved for testing, the test time is used effectively. The test utilises the multifunctional RF loop and it is automatically performed for both RX branches. The test time is approximately 15 seconds. The test can be used as an RF performance supervision test when performed according to a regular schedule from the NMS/2000. For more information on the TRX test refer to the Software Release Binder. 3.5.3 Battery backup with Nokia MetroSite Battery Backup If additional battery backup is needed, the Nokia MetroSite Battery Backup unit can be used for this purpose. The Nokia MetroSite Battery Backup provides one hour backup time for the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station operating at 400 W. The Nokia MetroSite Battery Backup is an external unit with the same appearance and mounting options as the Nokia MetroSite Base Station itself. For more information on Nokia MetroSite Battery Backup, refer to Nokia MetroSite Battery Backup User Manual. 3.5.4 Temperature control The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station operates in the ambient temperatures ranging from -40ºC to +50ºC (-40ºF to +122ºF), solar radiation 1120 W/m2. -40OC -40OF -10OC +14OF +10OC +50OF +20OC +68OF HEATING full heating COOLING reduced heating Figure 4. 28 (98) +50OC +122OF heating off/ cooling off cooling on variable fan speed Temperature management diagram © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station features The BTS has a cooling fan and built-in heaters to provide a smooth temperature controlling facility. The BTS software controls the heating and cooling to provide operation conditions which are as stable as possible. Heating and cooling are adjusted gradually to ensure low temperature gradients and noise levels. The temperature is continuously monitored with sensors placed on active units. The heater elements are located inside the transceiver and transmission units. When the BTS starts up in an extremely cold environment, the units are warmed up to the operation temperature range (-10ºC or +14ºF within each TRX) before the actual BTS operation starts. The fan unit generates the cooling air flow inside the BTS. The fan unit has 16 speeds, ensuring low temperature gradients and noise levels. If the temperature of any unit rises too high, due to a broken fan unit or too hot conditions on the site for example, the TRX issues an analysed temperature alarm to the BSC. The master TRX then shuts down the appropriate TRX. Similarly, if the power supply is overheated, the master TRX switches off the power for all units. The power supply switches the power back on when the temperature has returned to the operational range. During operation, the master TRX starts the heating process if the internal temperature drops below the specified limit.

It can also be used for coverage of gaps in networks, such as for unfriendly terrain or roadside coverage. Figure 5. DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft Roadside coverage with the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft 31 (98) Product Description Efficient frequency re-use requires that the size of the coverage area (cell) be limited. Figure 6 shows how the buildings surrounding the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can be used to limit the cell size and shape in an urban environment. BTS BTS Figure 6. Microcells built with the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can be sectored freely. A sector consists of one broadcast control channel (BCCH) TRX and, often, one to three traffic channel (TCH) TRXs. The maximum number of TRXs in one sector is four. At the BSC, one of the slave TRXs is by default defined as the BCCH TRX. The BCCH TRX the most likely TRX to need replacement and a slave TRX can be replaced without interrupting the BTS operation. If desired, the BCCH can be forced on the master TRX by using the preferred BCCH feature at the BSC. By using the different sectoring possibilities provided by the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station and by directing the antennas, different types of coverage areas can be created. The actual shape of the coverage areas varies depending on the environment. 32 (98) © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft Applications TRXs from different sectors can be connected to one antenna. The following examples assume that the MetroSite antenna is used; the diversity applications may differ from the ones presented here if different antenna types are used. Figure 7 presents a single band (GSM/EDGE 900) BTS which has four TRXs in one sector. The antennas are directed to the same direction; the resulting coverage area comprises four TRXs. In order to employ diversity, it is most feasible to connect the TRXs which share the diversity to different antennas.

Dual band = Four TRXs in one sector, single band configuration With dual band antennas, such as the MetroSite antenna, overlapping GSM/EDGE 900 and GSM/EDGE 1800 coverage areas can be created by connecting TRXs from a GSM/EDGE 900 sector and TRXs from a GSM/EDGE 1800 sector to one antenna. DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft 33 (98) Product Description Figure 8 shows schematically the coverage areas created with a BTS that has four sectors (two GSM/EDGE 900 sectors and two GSM/EDGE 1800 sectors) in a (1+1)/(1+1) configuration.

This configuration has one GSM/EDGE 900 sector which includes two TRXs, and one GSM/EDGE 1800 sector also including two TRXs. One TRX from the GSM/EDGE 900 sector and one TRX from the GSM/EDGE 1800 sector are connected to one antenna. The antennas are directed to the same direction. Consequently, the coverage area comprises four TRXs (two GSM/EDGE 900 and two GSM/EDGE 1800 TRXs). Diversity can also be utilised in this type of configuration. Figure 9 shows schematically the coverage area built in this manner. 34 (98) © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft Applications BTS configuration Coverage pattern (principle) - 2+2 TRXs - Dual band - Diversity Antennas directed to form one coverage area including 2 GSM/EDGE 900 TRXs + 2 GSM/EDGE 1800 TRXs.

Dual band = 2+2 dual band configuration Another way to build overlapping GSM/EDGE 900 and GSM/EDGE 1800 cells, is to direct single band GSM/EDGE 900 and GSM/EDGE 1800 antennas towards the same direction. The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can be used to build fill-in coverage in areas that are difficult to reach with conventional base stations. In these cases, it is recommended that high-gain antennas are used. DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft 35 (98) Product Description 4.2 Transmission with the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station This section describes the transmission topologies that can be built by using the transmission unit capacity of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station. The transmission node that expands the transmission capacity is typically the Nokia MetroHub Transmission Node. For more information on the larger configurations, refer to Nokia MetroHub Transmission Node documentation. The transmission unit takes care of the transmission between the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station and the BSC through the Abis interface. The transmission media can be either radio link (RRI) or wireline (E1/T1). The FC RRI and FXC RRI transmission units are used with Nokia MetroHopper radios and/or Nokia FlexiHopper microwave radios. The FC E1/T1, FXC E1 and FXC E1/T1 transmission units are used for wireline transmission. Note When EDGE transmission is being used, the FC type transmission units are not recommended because of the high data transfer rates that are possible with EDGE. The FXC RRI, FXC E1 and FXC E1/T1 transmission units have a cross-connect capability. The bidirectional connection between two interface ports (B2 crossconnection) can be made with 2M, nx64k, 64k, 32k, 16k and 8k granularities. Granularity refers to the number of bits connected into a specific direction in the cross-connection. The FC RRI and FC E1/T1 transmission units are used in the termination points of the transmission chain. More information on transmission unit alternatives can be found in Chapter 6. Examples of transmission topologies built with different transmission units are presented in Figure 10. Depending on the type of transmission unit, it is possible to use the following network topologies: 36 (98) • Chain connection (A and B in Figure 10) • Star connection (C and D in Figure 10; with the radio transmission alternative, the centre point of the star is always a transmission node) • Loop connection (E and F in Figure 10) © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft Applications FC E1(/T1) FC RRI FXC E1(/T1) FXC RRI FXC E1(/T1) FXC RRI BSC n x E1 FXC RRI FXC RRI FXC RRI FC E1/T1 FC E1/T1 FXC E1(/T1) FXC E1(/T1) FXC E1(/T1) FXC E1(/T1) FXC E1(/T1) FC E1/T1 FC RRI FC RRI Nokia MetroSite BTS with FXC RRI transmission unit Transmission node FXC RRI Radio hop Figure 10. DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft FC RRI Examples of transmission connections © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft 37 (98) Product Description Furthermore, the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can be directly connected to the BSC. The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station supports 16 Kbit/s, 32 Kbit/s and 64 Kbit/s Abis TRX signalling. The O&M signalling speed alternatives are 16 Kbit/s, 32 Kbit/s and 64 Kbit/s. To optimise the use of transmission capacity, combined O&M and TRX signalling is also supported at all these speeds. Locally, the transmission configuration is managed with the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager. Information on how to create different transmission configurations can be found in the MetroSite BTS Manager’s on-line Help. Note Since EDGE can carry higher data rates than GSM, the specification of the transmission unit and its configuration should be of suitably high capacity when using GSM/EDGE TRXs. 38 (98) © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station related software Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station related software This chapter describes the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station software (SW) and the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager software. Generally, the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is managed remotely from the OSS via the BSC. The management tasks carried out on site are kept to a minimum. On site, the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager is used for BTS management. The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is delivered to the customer with the SW pre-installed in order to support rapid deployment of the BTS. The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station SW is to a large extent based on the SW for the field-proven Nokia Talk family of base stations and is enhanced with new and improved features. The new, highly embedded Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station SW makes it possible to upgrade the BTS on-line without interrupting the BTS operation. Also, the number of alarms sent from the BTS to the BSC is reduced considerably due to the advanced BTS diagnostics system. The Nokia OSS incorporates a full range of functions from fault, performance, and configuration management to transmission and security management and troubleshooting. For more information, refer to Nokia OSS documentation. The NMS/2000 SW T13 and BSC SW S10 releases fully support the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station. 5.1 Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station software The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can store two SW packages in its nonvolatile memory. The SW can be loaded to the BTS either locally from the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager or remotely from the BSC or the NMS/2000. The SW packages are loaded to the non-volatile memory of each TRX. The BSC updates the BTS SW packages if they are different from the BSC SW. After downloading, new SW is activated by reset and the initialisation takes approximately one minute. The BTS and its units can be reset separately for testing purposes, locally with the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager and remotely from the BSC or the NMS/2000. DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft 39 (98) Product Description The BTS start-up procedure has been optimised to shorten the boot-up time. No time-consuming tests are done during the BTS start-up, which contributes to rapid deployment of the BTS and shorter breaks in service after power failures. Alarms generated by the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station are radically reduced by advanced diagnostics and alarm management. Only the unit level and BTS level alarms are sent to the BSC. Correlation rules and fault diagnostic procedures ensure that the appropriate recovery procedure is activated automatically. The fault diagnostics make it possible to locate a fault to a specific unit of the BTS or to a specific part of the BTS system. 5.2 Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager software Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager is primarily used to commission the BTS and carry out maintenance tasks locally. BTS sectoring and TRX numbering can be read from the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager’s display. During normal operation the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is managed remotely from the OSS. Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager provides a graphical user interface, running in Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 98 environments. The Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager provides a commissioning wizard software to ease the process of BTS commissioning. Instructions on how to use the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager are given in a context-sensitive on-line Help. The system requirements for the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager are detailed in Table 27.

Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager desktop Note Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager is part of the Nokia SiteWizard SW package. 5.3 BTS software updates When the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station software is updated, it can be loaded either locally with the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager, or remotely from the BSC or the OSS (via the BSC). The transmission unit software is downloaded transparently from the network management system (NMS) or locally with Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager. DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft 41 (98) Product Description The BTS SW is loaded to the master TRX which in turn updates the software in the slave TRXs. When new TRXs are added for more capacity, or when TRXs are replaced for maintenance reasons, the master TRX updates the software in the new slave TRXs if their software version is different from the master TRX SW. The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station software can be downloaded as a background operation without interrupting the BTS operation. The activation of new software causes a short break in service. However, the activation can be done remotely from the BSC/OSS during the hours of low telecommunication traffic. For more information refer to the Software Release Binders. The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station software updates are delivered to the customer on diskettes which contain the current version of the BTS software. The Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager is delivered on CD-ROM with Nokia SiteWizard.

In the RX part, the signal is converted to the intermediate frequencies (IF) and filtered. The baseband module performs the digital signal processing and sends the signal via the D-bus to the transmission unit. The transmission unit connects the BTS via the Abis interface to the BSC. The Abis interface can be either a cable or radio link. In the downlink direction, the signal from the network is submitted via the transmission unit and D-bus to the baseband module for digital signal processing. The transmitter part of the transceiver unit receives the modulated baseband signal from the baseband module, filters the signal to sufficient output spectrum purity, and raises it to the carrier frequency. The signal goes through the duplex filter to the antenna; and the antenna sends the signal via the Air interface to the receiving MS. 6.1.2 Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station internal function A block diagram of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is shown in Figure 13.

Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station block diagram BTS internal buses The BTS internal signalling and the signalling between the BTS and the adjacent external equipment is handled by the following buses: 46 (98) • D1-bus, which handles the data transfer and signalling between the TRX units and the transmission unit. • D2-bus, which is the main communication channel between the master TRX and slave TRXs. Software downloading is handled through the D2bus. • Local Management Bus (LMB), which is used for the BTS and the transmission units’ control. © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft General function, construction and units • Q1int-bus, which is used for local transmission management. • Q1-bus, which is used for external equipment management. • F-bus, which is used for data transfer and signalling between TRX units. • I2C-bus (cabinet management bus), which handles the alarm and control signalling between passive units (all units except for transmission units). Physically, the buses are located on the BTS backplane. Base control functions The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station does not have a separate plug-in unit for base control functions (BCF) because one of the TRXs is configured as the master TRX of the BTS. Currently, the master TRX is always located in TRX slot 1 (the lower left TRX slot, next to the transmission unit and interface unit slots). The following tasks are handled by the master TRX: • BTS control • Message delivery to the BSC • Alarm handling • Timing functions • Software downloading • Self-testing of the BTS Power distribution The electrical power (AC or DC) from the external power source is distributed within the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station by the BTS’s power supply unit. The power supply unit distributes DC power to the plug-in units. All electrical connections are conveyed via the backplane. For information on the output voltages, refer to Section 6.6.2. The power supply unit is capable of feeding power to the maximum BTS configuration which includes either two Nokia MetroHopper Radio outdoor units or two Nokia FlexiHopper Microwave Radio outdoor units.

The nominal transmitter output power at the antenna connector is 5 W (37 dBm in GMSK, 35 dBm in 8-PSK). The single branch receiver sensitivity is better than -106.0 dBm for the TCH/FS channel type. 6.3.1 Baseband module The baseband (BB) module carries out baseband digital signal processing of speech and data channels and manages all signalling for speech connections. It also handles software downloading and timing functions of the GSM/EDGE system. The block diagram of the baseband module is shown in Figure 19. 54 (98) © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft General function, construction and units D1 D2 F-bus TX D-bus interface F-bus interface RX interface RX UC EQ CH Clocks Q1 LMP I2C Figure 19. Block diagram of the baseband module The BB contains the unit controller (UC), two DSPs, four ASICs and memory circuits. In the downlink direction, the BB reads the TRAU or PCU frames coming from the transmission system via the D1E-bus. The data is then processed to GSM TDMA bit format. Bursts are sent via the downlink serial bus to the RF transmitter. In the uplink direction, the BB receives a digital I/Q signal from the RF module for both main and diversity branches. The samples are combined, detected, decoded and assembled into TRAU or PCU frames for sending to the Abis connection. DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft 55 (98) Product Description The EMUCA ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) is a UC interface ASIC. It also handles clock generation and synchronisation, interrupt and alarm handling functions. The EQDSP is functionally connected to the ERECVA ASIC. This block handles sample receiving from RF, channel equalisation and bit detection functions for both GMSK and 8-PSK. The interface from the BB to the RF modules is via a serial bus with HDLC protocol, and contains downlink (DL) data and initialisation messages to the RF module. The RF to BB HDLC frame includes I (In Phase) and Q (Quadrature) components of the received signal, and also consists of alarms, timing and status information from the RF module. The CHDSP is functionally connected to the EFBIA ASIC. This block handles burst transmitting to RF (DL_DATA), channel decoding and encoding, and ciphering and deciphering functions. EFBIA interfaces to the F-bus provide frequency hopping functions. The BB contains FLASH and RAM memories. FLASH memory is used for the BTS SW and SW backup. There are separate RAM memories for the UC and CHDSP to store programs and data. 6.3.2 RF module The RF module has four parts, the TX, RX, RF Loop, and digital interface.

In the TX part the modulation source, Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) or 8 Phase Shift Keying (8-PSK), is generated in the Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) part of the Enhanced Up-converter ASIC (ETXA). Two stages of up-conversion are used to achieve the carrier frequency. Filters are used within the chain to achieve spectral purity. The RF module includes a TX FHS phase-locked synthesizer, for either frequency hopping between adjacent time slots or providing a fixed frequency signal in non-hopping mode. The FHS part consists of separate VCO module and PLL circuits. The TX FHS provides the local oscillator signal in the final upconversion stage of the TX chain. DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft 57 (98) Product Description Receiver (RX) part The receiver (RX) part includes a common LNA, FHS and the second LO.

The LNA amplifies the signal for the main RX branch and provides diversity output for the other TRX. The diversity input from the other TRX is fed to the first mixer of the diversity branch. The RX paths convert the input signals from the duplex filtering module by double down-conversion to a final intermediate frequency (IF). Analogue filtering and an on/off type AGC are included in the first IF. The variable gain block in the second stage prevents compression by keeping the signal level within the dynamic range of the output A/D convertor. The signal from the A/D converter is passed to the Enhanced Down-converter ASIC (ERXA), where decimation and channel filtering occur. The main and diversity digital signals are then sent to the BB for DSP processing. The RF module includes an RX FHS phase-locked synthesizer, for either frequency hopping between adjacent time slots or providing a fixed frequency signal in non-hopping mode. The FHS part consists of separate VCO module and PLL circuits. The RX FHS provides the local oscillator signal in the first downconversion stage of both RX chains. The RX part also provides the local oscillator (LO) for the RX IF sections. RF Loop part The RF loop part provides transceiver test loop and antenna monitoring facilities. The LED display is also included in this part. The RF loop converts the TX RF signal down to RX frequency. The downconverted TX signal can be selected as an incident or reflected signal to facilitate antenna monitoring. The down-converted signal is coupled to the input of the LNA and input to the diversity branch mixer. The three time slot delay and BER test are performed by the DSP SW for both GMSK and 8-PSK. There is also a reflected power measurement circuit that raises an alarm when the antenna connector is left open at full power. Digital part The digital section of the RF module include two ASICs. These interface to the BB and provide control and reference signals to, and alarms from, the analogue functions of the RF module. The Enhanced Up-converter ASIC (EXTA) incorporates a DDS, generating a modulated signal for the TX. The Enhanced Down-converter ASIC (ERXA) performs digital channel filtering and controls AGC. 58 (98) © Nokia Corporation Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Draft DN991444 Issue 3-0 en Draft General function, construction and units In addition to the DDS and power control functions, the ETXA provides the controls for all TRX synthesisers. TRX and antenna loop controls are also provided by the ETXA and from the BB via the I2C bus. Time or state dependent alarms are collected and fed on to the ERXA. The digital interface includes a PLL part to generate clocks needed for ASICs and FHSs. Duplex filter part The passive duplex filter is connected to the RF module and has a single antenna connector. There are also customer specific filter modules available for the 900 MHz frequency band. Mechanics The mechanics provide an electrical and environmental shield for the unit. In addition, at higher ambient temperatures it acts as a heat sink, conducting the dissipated heat out of the units, and at lower ambient temperatures it acts as a heater. 6.3.3 External interfaces The front panel interface connectors are described in Table 2.
