9962 MSEC v1.0 : Product Overview

Introduction

The Alcatel-Lucent 9962 Multi-Standard Enterprise Cell, or 9962 MSEC, is a wireless

access point using licensed spectrum delivering improved network reach and increased

capacity while off-loading traffic from the macro network.

It is part of Alcatel-Lucent’s family of Small Cell Solutions.

Note: The stick antennas, as pictured, are used only for wall-mount (vertical)

installation - not for ceiling mount (horizontal) installation - and are available

separately from the standard product package.

The 9962 MSEC leverages the latest innovations to provide an indoor small cell that

supports 3G W-CDMA and 4G LTE Radio Access Technology carriers, (using a single

System on Chip, SoC) operating in multiple bands, coupled with an integrated Wi-Fi

Access Point (Wi-Fi AP) functionality.

Its Software Defined Radio (SDR) capability provides the flexibility not only to evolve

from 3G to 4G technology in a given band but also to assign any of the multiple

supported bands to either technology. These software-only changes eliminate the need to

visit the site, thus simplifying maintenance and reducing operating costs.

Small Cells System Architecture

Overview

The Alcatel-Lucent Small Cell unit uses 3GPP interfaces to connect to neighboring

eNodeBs and other existing mobile core network nodes, while offering a 3GPP-compliant

air interface. The architecture integrates seamlessly into existing LTE and UMTS

networks, including interfaces to other components, as well as to existing management

systems, and therefore integrates with existing applications, portals, and services through

standard interfaces.

The Small Cell unit interconnects with the core network elements with the addition of a

Security Gateway (SeGW), a 3G Small Cell GW (HNB-GW) and optionally a HeNB-GW

between the unit and the 3G/LTE core elements.

It supports S1-MME and S1-U interfaces based on 3GPP specifications as per macro

eNodeB. The unit has connectivity to all MMEs/SGWs (located in the core network) in

the pool/serving area. The S1-flex function and requirements for the unit differ from those

for the macro eNodeB, as it is on the HeNB-GW, instead of on the unit itself.

The Serving Gateway (SGW) selection function selects an available SGW to serve a UE.

The SGW selection function is performed by the MME and does not require any changes

to support the unit.

Advantages and Functional Description

Use Cases

The Alcatel-Lucent 9962 Multi-Standard Enterprise Cell is designed for deployment in an

indoor environment with its associated environmental and physical constraints. Therefore,

it can be installed in many indoor private places such as business offices or warehouses,

as well as in numerous indoor public places (supermarkets, shopping malls, airports…)

The 9962 MSEC installation will depend on local or national laws in the country where

the product is deployed.

Product Benefits

Since the 9962 MSEC can be installed in a wide variety of indoor places, it can offer

many benefits to customers using those spaces.

If installed in business offices, new sources of revenue from corporate applications can

be enabled by the enhanced indoor coverage and corporate networking possibilities. For

instance, with the presence location API feature, the users can be connected to the Small

Cell Access Points to take advantage of enterprise services. For example, workers can be

connected to the company anytime, anywhere through a mobile application. They can

make and receive their business calls as if they were in their office, thanks to a “One

Number” capability.

Options such as call history, visual voice mails, corporate directory, and call routing are

available on this kind of mobile application.

If installed in indoor public places, the 9962 MSEC can be deployed in areas formerly

covered by microcells or picocells, but can also be used in many more cases, instead of

macrocells, since they are very easy to install and are less subject to regulatory constraints

with their low emission power.

With its high capacity, the Enterprise Cell is ideal for high user-density places where

additional capacity is required or even in areas where cell phone coverage is needed on

short notice. This deployment also allows new, innovative applications such as location,

Quality of Service (QoS) and trusted security for application development.

Enterprise Cells also allow the operator to propose bundled offers and to include an entire

group of employees into a single agreement. This leads to a reduction of customer churn,

and allows higher revenue per user.

Auto-configuration and self-optimisation

The Network Listening feature is used for auto-configuration and self-optimisation of

the radio. It allows the 9962 Multi-Standard Enterprise Cell to act as a UE and receive

transmission from neighboring base stations. It is used to automatically identify, measure

and record its neighbor cells, reducing the need for operator-provisioned neighbor cell

lists.

The information is then used by the 9962 Multi-Standard Enterprise Cell to automatically

select:

•its Physical Cell id (PCI) and to create and update a list of neighbor cells before UE

measurements are received

•its primary scrambling code and power levels to transmit, and to create and update a

list of UMTS neighbor cells

Those neighbor cell lists are used by the 9962 Multi-Standard Enterprise Cell for

identification of the target cell for hand-over and for rebroadcasting of the system

information messages, in support of re-selection by the UE.

The Wi-Fi part is a dual-band dual-concurrent module, supporting:

•Frequency bands: 2.4 and 5 GHz.

•Bandwidths: 20 and 40 MHz.

Security

The 9962 Multi-Standard Enterprise Cell security solution offers robust and mature

security features to protect the Small Cell system against increasing security risks

resulting from exposure to untrusted areas.

This security solution is based on a long security hardening experience from W-CDMA

Small Cell, LTE wireless security knowledge and customer feedback and lessons learned

in this area, such as:

•IPsec tunnel for traffic integrity protection and encryption for OAM, control plane,

user plane

•Certificate-based authentication and security with Secure boot, Trusted Environment

to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information on the Enterprise

Cell, and Authentication of the Enterprise Cell to the SeGW by Certificate as per

3GPP TS33.320.

•Security hardening of the 9962 Multi-Standard Enterprise Cell

•Tamper Alarm

•Evolved Packet System

Forced opening of the casing causes permanent disablement of the unit. In this case, the

repair process is not applicable, as irreversible damage is caused to the printed circuit

board and a new one must be provided.

The 5620 SAM performs the following tasks :

•It provisions a network with fast and easy configuration and multi-vendor scripting

workflows that reduce the risk of error and shorten network deployment time.

•It accelerates set-up for integrated IP/optical performance and SLA monitoring with

service-aware diagnostics that validate end-to-end services and IP/optical paths.

•It prevents service degradation through end-to-end power control, monitoring, tracing,

and fault localization.

•It correlates faults to identify whether the problem resides in the IP or optical layer,

and the root cause. This function simplifies troubleshooting and isolates problems

before services are affected.

Technical Requirements

Power Supply

The power supply requirements and consumption are as follows :

•If a Power supply over 4p PoE is used to supply the power, a 4p PoE injector can be

used while the AC/DC power connector is not used. Otherwise, a 4p PoE capable

router can also be used. 4p PoE capable router and 4p PoE injector are not part of the

standard product delivery.

•Power supply with AC/DC power adaptor : The Multi-standard Enterprise Cell v1

requires a 48V DC power feed. In this case, power injector is not used but a AC/DC

power adaptor is needed.

•Power consumption : The maximum power consumption of the Enterprise Cell

depends on the transmit power.

The power consumption on the 250 mW variant is approximately 48 W.

Frequency Bands

The Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Cell Multi-Standard supports 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz carrier

bandwidths for LTE and 5 MHz carrier bandwidth for W-CDMA applications.

LED interpretation

When the 9962 MSEC v1.0 is powered on, all LEDs are solid red: if the software fails to

start, the LEDs remain in this condition. Otherwise the LEDs indicate the progress of the

initialization of the unit.

After the four LEDs, excluding the WiFi LEDs, have been in a normal state for fifteen

minutes, these four LEDs are all turned off to avoid bringing attention to the unit. If an

event occurs that changes an LED state, then the four LEDs are turned on. After the LEDs

have returned to normal state for fifteen minutes, all LEDs are turned off again.

The WiFi status LEDs act independently of this management.

Power LED

The system initialization and fault states are represented by a single bicolored red/green

LED.
