Base Station Subsystem
A BSC and the associated BTS are known collectively as a Base Station
Subsystem (BSS).
Base Station Controller
The BSC manages call control and interconnections to the other network
elements.
The BSC application is supported by an operating system that also provides
platform services. While the BSC has several physical platforms, each physical
platform runs the same BSC application and platform services.
The Macro Pole Mount BTS communicates with the BSC over an Ethernet (IP)
connection. Soft BSC servers can be centralized at any convenient location.
This guide does not describe all BSC configurations, which vary based on
network and operator requirements.

Site External Grounding
Requirements
External grounding requirements include:
■
Site Grounding Responsibility
■
Ground Rods
■
AC Power Grounding
■
Ground Testing
Site Grounding Responsibility
Grounding of the site is the responsibility of the customer. All grounding and
power connections should be made according to local standards.
Ground Rods
Several factors affect external grounding. The major factor is the resistance of
ground rods, which is directly related to soil resistivity in the immediate vicinity of
the rod. The resistivity of the soil determines how many rods are needed and
their dimensions.
Ground rods must be buried at the base of the structure, and at the AC service
entrance and transmission line entry port. The rods must be composed of
copper-clad, high-strength steel with minimum dimensions of 16 mm x 3.1 m
(5/8 in. x 10 ft.).
The rods must be located at least 61 cm (2 ft.) from the edge of the foundation,
and driven deeply enough that the top of the rod is below the frost line of the
installation site.
AC Power Grounding
The AC power ground conductor must be bonded to the ground rod located at
the service entrance. Ground lugs provided in all service entrance equipment
must be bonded to the service ground conductor. The system ground and
neutral must be bonded at one location only, as close as is practical to the
service entrance. All service grounding must conform to the appropriate
electrical codes.
Ground Testing
The external ground systems must be tested separately after installation, and
each resistance to earth ground must be less than 5 ohms. Tests must be
performed twice per year to ensure ground system integrity.
Macro Pole Mount BTS
Grounding
Requirements
Good internal grounding depends on several factors, the most significant of
which is the halo ground. Using a halo ground provides maximum internal
protection for the Macro Pole Mount BTS.

Macro Pole Mount BTS
Antenna Grounding
The Macro Pole Mount BTS can be connected to different antenna modules by
rugged coaxial cables. Coaxial cables can create a significant transmission path
during a lightning strike. Grounding cables to multiple points improves lightning
protection on the system, also lowering additive radiation caused by lightning
surge.
Refer to Figure 7 for an example of a Macro Pole Mount BTS grounding
scheme.

Warning:
External (customer supplied) antenna can be attached to the GPS antenna
input. In this case, the on-cabinet GPS coaxial cable should be disconnected.
The Macro Pole Mount BTS provides +5 VDC voltage at the GPS antenna input
connector to power the external antenna. For a non-standard GPS antenna,
make sure the voltage is sufficient for normal antenna operation and that the
power consumption of the antenna does not exceed 275mW.
A GPS antenna is an active antenna. Avoid a short circuit termination of the
GPS antenna input on the Macro Pole Mount BTS case. If different voltage is
used to feed an external GPS antenna, use the DC block module with external
lightning protector to avoid back current leakage into the GPS antenna input.
Other Cable Grounding
All other cables such as telephone cables, data cables, and power cables
should be protected by metal conduit with single-point ground connection to the
top ground bar (refer to Figure 6).
The Macro Pole Mount BTS incorporates lightning protection on all incoming
wires. External equipment (such as Ethernet switch, BSC or other) has to be
lightning protected.
Cables between any two structures must be shielded and employ a messenger
cable. The messenger cable must be bonded to the respective building ground
at each corner. The shields must be bonded to the building ground at each
corner.

1.25" / 32 mm and requires at least 9" / 230 mm for the bend.
Other antennae cables may have a larger turn radius requiring more vertical
clearance.
The GPS receiver and antennae installed on the top of the Macro Pole Mount
BTS unobstructed upward visibility for satellite acquisition. Do not install any
solid metal constructions above the Macro Pole Mount BTS.
Area Clearance
Installing the Macro Pole Mount BTS requires a minimum clearance behind the
cabinet. Ensure there is 60 cm (2 feet) clearance behind the pole to allow
sufficient access for through-rod installation.(refer to Figure 10).
Proper installation also requires adequate mechanical clearance.

Installation and Initial Configuration Guide
To reduce power loss, use the minimum length of power cord required to
connect the power source to the Macro Pole Mount BTS and expanders.
Calculate an actual power loss based on Table 8.
Example:
Equipment with current draw of 10.41A at 48V (10.41A x 48VDC = 500W)
connected to the source by 100 meters long #8 AWG cable will lose:
10.41
2
x (2.060496/10) = 22.33 (W)
and lower voltage by:
10.41 x (2.060493/10) = 2.1 (V).
Since the Macro Pole Mount BTS optionally supports additional sectors, install
cabling that allows for future expansion.
Table 19 lists the load carrying capacities of applicable wire gauge sizes.
The gauges are in American Wire Gauge (AWG). For metric wire gauge, the
wire gauge is 10 times the wire diameter (in mm). For example, a 5mm wire is
50 gauge.
For DC/AC power to the Macro Pole Mount BTS, calculate the maximum
amperes required in the Maximum Amps (Power Transmission) column and
note the required wire gauge (AWG or metric). For example, above 37 amperes
but below 47 amperes, use 5 AWG gauge cabling.

About VSWR
Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is the ratio of maximum to minimum
voltage in a standing wave pattern within a transmission line. VSWR measures
the impedance mismatch between the transmission line and its load. The
greater the mismatch the higher the VSWR. Minimum VSWR, where there is a
perfect impedance match, is unity.
VSWR is important because when two different transmission lines are
connected, there is a possibility of impedance mismatch. Impedance mismatch
will cause a direct loss in the power budget.
When the impedance of the two connecting transmission lines do not match, a
reflected wave is generated in the direction of the energy source. The voltage
(wave form) on the transmission line is a combination of the initial wave
(incident) and reflected wave.
Maximum power transfer across a connection is achieved when there is no
impedance mismatch (VSWR is low).

Installation and Initial Configuration Guide

Antenna Requirements
This guide does not describe how to install any GPS or RF antenna. This guide
assumes that any GPS or RF antenna has already been installed according to
manufacturers' specification.
The antenna should be resonant with the operating frequency so that its
impedance matches the impedance of the transmission lines. Coaxial lines with
50 ohm impedance characteristics are universally used, The antenna should be
designed to a 50 ohm terminal impedance.
Maximum power transmission over coaxial occurs when VSWR is unity
(antenna impedance is 50 ohm). Many antennae are specified to operate with a
VSWR lower than 1.5:1.
Measuring VSWR
Gain is the ratio of output power (voltage) to input power (voltage). Gain is
usually expressed in dB. If the ratio is less than unity, the gain, expressed in dB,
will be negative, indicating a loss between input and output.
Gain cannot be easily measured in the field, but antenna VSWR can be
measured at installation time.
The real (true) VSWR occurs at the antenna terminals, and VSWR should be
measured at the bulkhead. The VSWR at the end of the transmission line will be
lower than the real VSWR by the amount of attenuation (loss of signal power) in
the line.
VSWR below 1.2 should be measured with a spectrum analyzer. VSWR above
1.2 can be calculated using return loss values (refer to Calculating Return Loss)
and the appropriate table, or graph.
Figure 20 shows the Return Loss vs VSWR curve, which is useful for estimating
VSWR above 1.2.

Return Loss vs VSWR Curve
Consulting a VSWR and Return Loss table will give precise VSWR for a known
Return Loss value. Table 20 shows selected Return Loss and VSWR values,
approximating the desired VSWR range for the antenna cabling.
Return Loss
Guidelines
Return Loss is the ratio of the amplitude of the reflected wave to the amplitude
of the incident wave, measured at the junction of a transmission line and a
terminating impedance (or other discontinuity).
Return loss is a measure of the dissimilarity between impedances in metallic
transmission lines and loads, or between refractive indices in optical fibers.
Return loss is usually expressed in dB.

Calculating Return Loss
Return Loss calculations can be expressed in dBm or dBw. Decibels are used to
express the ratio between two quantities. dBm uses a reference of 1mW and
dBw uses a reference of 1W.
dBm = 10 log(power out / 1mW)
dBw = 10 log(power out / 1W)
A Return Loss (metallic transmission line) scenario is shown in Figure 21.
Figure 21
Return Loss Calculation Scenario
40dBm power (incident) is equivalent to 10 watts, and 26 dBm (reflective) is
equivalent to 400mW.
Using the equation and values shown in Figure 21, Return Loss is calculated at
14dB.
The Effective Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) is used to estimate the
service area of the transmitter, and to co-ordinate transmitters on the same
frequency so that their coverage areas do not overlap.
Effective Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) is given by:
EIRP(dBm) = (Transmitted Power (dBm)) – (Attenuation (dB)) + (Antenna Gain
(dB)).
Using the equation and values shown in Figure 21, EIRP is calculated at 39.8
dBm + antenna gain (decibels of gain of an antenna is expressed as dBi).

Insertion Loss
Guidelines
Insertion Loss is the power loss resulting from the insertion of a device in a
transmission line. Insertion Loss expressed as the reciprocal of the ratio of the
signal power delivered to that part of the line before the device to the signal
power delivered to that same part after the device. The inserted device is some
type of connector.
Calculating Insertion
Loss
Calculation of Insertion loss requires known incident and reflected power
values. The incident power should be known and reflected power is calculated
as Return Loss.
Insertion Loss is given by:
L
insertion
(dB) = 10
log
(P
out
/P
in
)
Using the scenario shown in Figure 21, where the incident power is 10 W
(40dBm), reflected power is 0.4 W (26dBm), the total power output is 9.6 W.
Insertion Loss is 10
log
(9.6/10) or 0.2dB.
Antenna Connection
To connect antenna cables:
1
Confirm that the antenna cables are labeled near the Macro Pole Mount BTS
terminating end. Label the cables if they are not already labeled.
2
Thread the 7-16 Din type connector end of the MAIN cable onto the 7-16 DIN
connector end on the antenna connection plate.
3
Thread the 7-16 Din type connector end of the DIVERSITY cable onto the 7-16
DIN connector end on the antenna connection plate.
GPS Connection
The GPS connection requires guidelines for timing information and for
connecting the GPS cable to the Macro Pole Mount BTS.
About GPS in BTS
A BTS requires accurate timing information for both Time of Day (ToD) and
message synchronization.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellation of 27 Earth-orbiting
satellites (24 in operation and three extras in case one fails). A GPS receiver
must locate four or more of these satellites, determine the distance to each, and
use this information to deduce its own location. This operation is based on
trilateration.
The GPS receiver and satellite both need clocks that can be synchronized to the
nanosecond. Every satellite contains an atomic clock and the GPS receiver
itself uses an ordinary quartz clock, which it constantly resets.
The receiver looks at incoming signals from four or more satellites and gauges
its own inaccuracy - there is only one value for the "current time" that the

Warning:
receiver can use. The correct time value will cause all of the signals that the
receiver is receiving to align at a single point in space. That time value is the
time value held by the atomic clocks in all of the satellites. So the receiver sets
its clock to that time value, and it then has the same time value that all the
atomic clocks in all of the satellites have.
Connecting GPS Cable
to Macro Pole Mount
BTS
A GPS antenna connection point is provided on the bottom of the Macro Pole
Mount BTS.
Connecting GPS Cable
The Macro Pole Mount BTS integrated GPS cable uses an N type connector
end. The N-type jack (female) connector allows the connection of a
non-integrated GPS connector.
To connect an external GPS antenna cable:
1
Disconnect the existing GPS antenna cable from the bottom of the Macro Pole
Mount BTS.
2
Thread the GPS cable end behind the sunshield panes and secure it.
3
Connect the external GPS antenna cable (N-type plug (male)) to the GPS
connector on the bottom of the Macro Pole Mount BTS.
Do not over tighten connector.
The GPS antenna is active. Any DC blocking components on the GPS antenna
cable (such as DC block or attenuators) will prevent proper antenna power
feeding.

Before Making Test Calls
A voice test call and a data test call (if applicable) are made to verify the
integration. The 2 mobiles must have a subscriber profile in the HLR (voice
calls) and the AAA (data calls) for the test calls to succeed.
The Operator (NOC personnel) should have provisioned the test mobiles in the
respective HLR and/or PDSN as part of the prerequisites phase (refer to
Recommended Test Equipment on page 25).
This guide does not describe how to provision a subscriber in the HLR or in the
AAA server.
Making Voice Test Calls
A mobile-to-mobile call tests the MSC part of Core Network integration.
To make a voice test call:
1
Power on both test mobiles.
2
Confirm that a call can be originated and terminated from each test mobile to the
other.
Making Data Test Calls
A data call tests the PDSN part of Core Network integration. A data call can be
as simple as accessing any Web page on the Internet. The Audiovox test phone
(any many other CDMA2000 phones) has a quick Web access button.
To make a data test call:
1
Select a test mobile and press the quick Web access button.
2
A Web page should be loaded in the phone.
If the voice and data (if applicable) test calls are successful, then the installation,
configuration, and Core Network integration of the Macro Pole Mount BTS is
complete.
