Introduction
1.1
System Definition
The RadioFrame® Networks OmniCell@Home™ picocell is a modular radio solution that
provides flexible and efficient software-driven base stations for Mobile Network Operators
(MNO) that need to deploy cost-effective radio access in small, inexpensive increments.
Unlike traditional approaches from vendors offering proprietary, single-technology
equipment, RadioFrame Networks offers an agile, multiple-technology, future-proof
solution that integrates into the existing Radio Access Network (RAN) reducing capital
expenditure.
The OmniCell@Home picocell base-transceiver station (PicoBTS), shown in Figure 1,
reduces operating costs associated with expensive, dedicated E1/T1 leased lines by
making use of DSL and cable broadband packet-switched networks for backhaul between
the customer premises and the mobile operator network.

This document covers installation and configuration of the OmniCell@Home basetransceiver station, often referred to as Customer-Premise Equipment (CPE). The
Network Elements (NEs) are addressed in other documents in the OmniCell@Home SSeries System Document Set as follows:
• <>
1.3
General Safety Information
Read all the notices in this section prior to installing or using the S-Series system or any
of its components.
1.3.1
Confirmation of Conformance to National Regulation
The S-Series equipment complies with the provisions of the European R&TTE Directive
(99/05/EC). Declaration of conformity may be obtained from RadioFrame; Compliance
Engineering Department; 9461 Willows Road NE, Suite 100; Redmond, WA 98052, USA.
1.3.2
Static Sensitive Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It
occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in
complete or intermittent failures.
• Prior to handling, shipping, and servicing equipment, always put on a conductive
wrist strap connected to a grounding device to discharge any accumulated static
charges. All RFN FRUs ship with a disposable anti-static wrist strap.
Warning!
Use extreme caution when wearing a conductive wrist strap near sources of high
voltage. The low impedance provided by the wrist strap also increases the danger
of lethal shock should accidental contact with high voltage sources occur.
• Place FRUs only on an anti-static mat when removed from the system. The
conductive surface must be connected to ground through 100 kΩ.
• Do not use non-conductive material for packaging FRUs for shipment or storage.
Wrap all FRUs with anti-static (conductive) material.
• If possible, retain all original packing material for future use.

System Description
The S-Series system is a picocell base-transceiver station (BTS) solution that provides
radio coverage in small footprint increments with low additional cost.
2.1
Three-Domain Architecture
The OmniCell@Home picocell interoperates with aggregating nodes in the BSS to
optimize BSC resource utilization. The S-Series components, shown in Figure 2, include
the OmniCell@Home Base Transceiver Station (PicoBTS), which provides coverage in
the customer premises, the S-Series Registration Server (S-RS), which provides a
mechanism for authenticating each PicoBTS, the Element Management System (S-EMS),
which manages operation of the network elements, and the Aggregation Gateway (SRadioFrame Networks, Inc.

AGW), which presents the Abis interface to the Base Station Controller (BSC) and Packet
Control Unit (PCU) in the Base Station System (BSS).
Figure 2 S-Series Architecture
2.1.1
Internet Service Provider (ISP) Customer-Premise Domain
The Customer-Premise Domain consists of small form factor PicoBTSs with DSL and/or
cable modem/router connections to the Backhaul Domain. Each PicoBTS is connected to
the DSL/cable modem/router via an RJ-45 CAT5 Ethernet cable.
• Connection to the Backhaul Domain may alternatively be provided through a
customer-premise LAN
• PicoBTSs are distributed in the customer premises to optimize coverage
• Each PicoBTS acts as a single picocell
2.1.2
Backhaul Domain
The Backhaul Domain provides secure transport between the PicoBTSs and the S-AGW
in the Infrastructure Domain. The Backhaul IP Domain must also include a local DHCP
server or access to a DNS server.
The backhaul domain link must meet minimum performance requirements.
2.1.3
Carrier Infrastructure Domain
The Infrastructure Domain consists of a mobility network and optionally a separate data
network that provides access to the Internet. Common to both networks is a firewall
(optional).
The S-AGW manages system resources and multiplexes/de-multiplexes user traffic to
multiple RadioFrame customer-premise PicoBTSs. Each PicoBTS is configured to be a
logical 1-TRX Metro-Site BTS from the BSC’s point of view.
Note: The Transcoder Rate Adaptation Unit (TRAU) function is required, as it is for an
existing GSM BTS.

System Description
998-1027-01 Rev X2
The S-RS provides a mechanism for authenticating each S1 BTS as it joins the serviceprovider (SP) network (during system start-up) and initial key exchange for protection of
subsequent signalling communications between the PicoBTS and the S-AGW. In
essence, the S-RS serves as a “gatekeeper” – ensuring that only authenticated PicoBTS
equipment may reach the S-AGW via its backhaul IP address.
The S-EMS is used to manage the operation of the S-Series AGW and PicoBTS network
elements. The S-EMS performs typical Element Manager Layer (EML) services as
defined by the Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) model. The S-EMS
provides management functions in addition to the GSM management provided by the
MNO’s existing OMC across the Abis interface.
2.2
PicoBTS Functional Block Diagram
Figure 3 shows the functional subsystems of the PicoBTS. These are described in the
following paragraphs.
RF Monitor
The RF monitor functional block is a GSM receiver capable of receiving in the 900/1800
and 850/1900 bands. The purpose of this block is to monitor the radio environment and
look for carriers from the macro network as well as carriers from other nearby PicoBTS
units. Signal information from these sources is passed to the Host CPU block where it is
used for frequency planning and other system-management functions.
EDGE/GPRS/GSM
This block is the PicoBTS quad-band transceiver. It performs the radio functions required
in a base station as well as baseband processing of transmitted and received signals.
Though not strictly part of the transceiver, the SIM-card reader is included in this block as
it interfaces directly to the FPGA.
Host CPU
This block performs a variety of control and processing functions necessary for operation
of the HRBS. The WLAN transceiver, router, GSM transceiver and RF monitoring
sections interface to the host CPU.
Router and Ethernet PHY
In addition to providing LAN capability, the router section allows additional Ethernet
connections to the ISP network.

System Manager Software
Management is primarily intended to be performed using existing Operation Support
System (OSS) resources within the MNO infrastructure. However, there are also local
and remote management capabilities provided by the System Manager software
package. System Manager is a web-based graphical management system, which is
accessible via an IP-based connection.
System Manager provides Operations personnel with remote access and control,
including configuration, alarm monitoring, triage/troubleshooting and system statistical
reporting. All S-Series systems include System Manager as standard equipment. Core
System Manager functions include:

RF Performance Metrics (e.g., Uplink SQE, Noise Floor, etc.)
Test and Maintenance (e.g., automated BER testing)
Network Integration
To support needed personalization and location features, the S-Series communicates
with one or more of the databases (such as Personalization and Location DBs) which
may or may not already exist in the Mobile Network Operator (MNO) BSS and CN.
Each PicoBTS is equipped with a SIM card that stores necessary information for S-Series
provisioning and authentication. SIM-based authentication methodology, similar to GSM
authentication but with no core-network involvement, is used during the PicoBTS
registration with the S-RS to ensure that stolen PicoBTSs are barred from operating. The
PicoBTS authentication does not involve the HLR or any other core-network (CN)
element.

The existing BSC and BTS MIBs can be managed by the existing BSS OMC, and the
additional PicoBTS MIBs can be managed by the new S-EMS (a separate NE) or these
MIBs can be integrated into the OMC. One common scenario is to initially deploy a single
S-EMS and then remove it once the integration of the S-Series with standard MNO
element and network management resources is completed.

Installation
4.1
Dimensioning Considerations
Dimensioning of infrastructure domain equipment (S-AGW, S-RS, and S-EMS) is covered
in <<>>.
4.1.1
CPE Scaling
For the purpose of planning PicoBTS (CPE) deployment, the following assumptions are
valid:
• Each PicoBTS is configured as a BCCH TRX
• Each PicoBTS supports up to 7 FR voice calls (depending on how many slots are
used for GPRS)
• Each S-AGW has the capability of supporting 40 TRXs
4.1.2
Link Dimensioning
Data traffic on links is implementation dependent, but for the purpose of dimensioning
links, the following information is provided.
• Suggested DSL or cable modem bandwidth available at the PicoBTS is 256 kbps
for both uplink and downlink (calculated minimum under “typical” conditions is 182
kbps)
• A complete and successful registration procedure typically results in traffic load
(from PicoBTS to S-RS) of 14 IP/TCP/SSL packets, for a total of about 1733 bytes
and (from S-RS to PicoBTS) of 12 IP/TCP/SSL packets, for a total of about 2226
bytes. Therefore, the total for both directions is 26 packets, or approximately 4000
bytes.
Note: The S-RS employs a throttling mechanism such that a limited number of registration requests
may be handled concurrently. Each request spawns a temporary thread in the S-RS process,
20

Installation
998-1027-01 Rev X2
• The bandwidth required for a fully loaded S-AGW at the S-AGW – IP backhaul
interface is about 200 kbps (per TRX) * 40 = 8 Mbps
4.2
Preparation for Installation
In Section 4.3 you will connect the cabling and bring up the PicoBTS CPE. Installation
requires no training or prior expertise on the product. The software architecture of the SSeries allows for a “plug-and-play” behaviour. No intervention is required if the
preparation described in this section has been accomplished.
Before the PicoBTS CPE is able to register, it must be provisioned with the FQDN (or IP
address) of the S-RS in order to initiate the process. (For security, the S-RS does not
advertise or poll.) Normally this provisioning is pre-loaded in the CPE.
Refer to Appendix B, Default Configuration of the OmniCell@Home Picocell as Shipped,
for the Factory settings for the PicoBTS.
4.3
Installing CPE Equipment
Note: Infrastructure equipment must be operational before CPE can be installed.
The PicoBTS hardware is installed at customer premise locations, most likely
at different times and by different personnel.
The following items come with the PicoBTS:
• Power supply transformer assembly with country-specific adapters
• Ethernet cable: CAT5e, 7 ft (2.13 m)
The customer needs to supply additional Ethernet cables if additional equipment will be
connected to the PicoBTS router on the LAN side. Auto MDX/MDIX is supported.
The PicoBTS should be placed on a table top in the vertical position as shown in Figure
1.
Plan to route the necessary cabling to the location of the PicoBTS, including power, WAN
cable, and any LAN cables.
4.3.1
Mechanical Installation Time
Mechanical installation time for the PicoBTS is designed to be minimal, and should be
less than 10 minutes.
Connect the PicoBTS WAN port to the broadband IP backhaul network (xDSL or cable
modem).
Connect the LAN ports to the local area network as necessary.

Bringing up the PicoBTS
Connect the provided AC power cable to the PicoBTS, and, using the correct adapter for
the country’s power receptacles, plug the cable into the wall receptacle. Within three
minutes, the PicoBTS registers and is ready for use.
CPE IP Address
PicoBTSs can be configured with a static IP address, or addresses can be assigned by
DHCP. To change settings on a PicoBTS, you can connect a PC to one of the LAN ports
on the PicoBTS and browse to 192.168.0.1.
The default username is admin, with password admin123
Refer to Figure 4. On the general setup page you can select either DHCP or static IP
address.
It is not critical what IP addresses the PicoBTSs receive as long as they do not clash with
anything else on the same network.

Appendix C. RF Emissions Precautions
C.1 Exposure vs. Frequency
Overall exposure may be affected by radio frequency generating facilities that exist at the
time the equipment is being installed or even by equipment installed later. Therefore, the
effects of any such facilities must be considered in site selection and in determining
whether a particular installation meets the requirements of safe operation. Determining
the compliance of transmitter sites of various complexities may be accomplished by
means of computational methods. For more complex sites, direct measurement of power
density may be more expedient. Persons responsible for installation of this equipment are
urged to consult the listed reference material to assist in determining whether a given
installation complies with the applicable limits. In general the following guidelines should
be observed when working in or around radio transmitter sites:
All personnel should have electromagnetic energy awareness training.
Warning!
Obey all posted signs.
Warning!
Assume all antennas are active.
Warning!
Never operate transmitters without shields during normal operation.
Warning!
Do not operate base station antennas in equipment rooms.
Warning!
