Introduction to the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station
Introduction to the Nokia MetroSite
EDGE Base Station
This chapter describes the base station system (BSS) and the Nokia MetroSite
EDGE Base Station generally.
2.1
Base station system
In general terms, base stations perform the radio function for the base station
system. 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).

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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

•
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Applications
Applications
This chapter describes the typical applications of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE
Base Station including the transmission alternatives.
4.1
Building capacity with the Nokia MetroSite EDGE
Base Station
The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can be used for building capacity in
areas of heavy telecommunication traffic, such as for building infill, street
corners, sports arenas, shopping centres, and underground stations. It can also be
used for coverage of gaps in networks, such as for unfriendly terrain or roadside
coverage.

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.

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.

The 2+2 dual band configuration can be used to build one directional dual band
coverage area. 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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

General function, construction and units
In the uplink direction, the signal from the MS is picked up by the antennas and
then passes through the duplex filter to the RX part of the transceiver unit. 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.

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.

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.

Transmitter (TX) part
The transmitter (TX) part includes a Frequency Hopping System (FHS) of its
own, two intermediate frequency blocks, an RF block, and a power control block.
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.

Product Description
Receiver (RX) part
The receiver (RX) part includes a common LNA, FHS and the second LO. The
RF block, two intermediate frequency blocks and AGC are separate for the main
and diversity branches.
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.

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.

Power supply unit (HVSx)
The purpose of the power supply unit is to convert the incoming AC or DC supply
voltages into the appropriate DC output voltages. The power is distributed to the
units of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station and to radio outdoor units (if
used) via the backplane. DC power supplies are reverse polarity protected.
In the case of mains power failure, the AC power supply unit provides a backup
time of 130 ms during which the alarm can be sent. The alarm signal appears
when the input voltage drops below the specified limit. The limit is dependent on
the power supply unit type.
