Base Station Subsystem An RNC and the associated BTS(s) are known collectively as a Base Station
Subsystem (BSS).
RNC
The RNC manages call control and interconnections to the other network
elements.
The RNC application is supported by an operating system that also provides
platform services. While the RNC has several physical platforms, each physical
platform runs the same RNC application and platform services.
The Compact Macro BTS communicates with the RNC over an Ethernet IP
connection. RNC servers are co‐located, or centralized at any convenient
location.
This guide does not describe all RNC configurations, which vary based on network
and operator requirements.
Compact Macro BTS
The Compact Macro BTS provides IP‐based coverage for CDMA2000© 3G wireless
networks. This BTS interfaces by IP to the standard iCell soft RNC. The All‐IP
CDMA2000® Network distributed architecture, eliminates the need to carry
traffic to a central RNC, reducing operational complexity. The Compact Macro BTS
shares the same internal hardware as the standard iCell Macro system. The only
difference is that all the components for one sector are housed in a single casing
allowing for a very compact installation. The Compact Macro BTS is ideal for
portable systems, disaster recovery systems and for rural areas where traffic is
not anticipated to grow beyond one carrier and three sectors (1F/3S).
The main unit also supports the addition of two more sector units. Each sector
unit comes in a 2U‐high, 19 in., rack‐mounted chassis. This modular, flexible
design enables wireless operators to start small with a single sector and allows
additional sectors to be added in the future to triple capacity.

Verifying Compact Macro
Maintaining sufficient airflow through the Compact Macro BTS is required for
BTS Airflow and Ventilation proper system operation and to protect system components from overheating.
Warning:
Do not block air vents, intake and exhaust. Rear of unit must be 6 in. (152mm)
away from walls to provide sufficient airflow.
Warning:
Surrounding equipment exhaust must not feed into the Compact Macro BTS air
intake panels.
Caution:
Failure to ensure proper ventilation and airflow through the Compact Macro BTS
can result in degraded system performance or damage to the components.
Figure 5 displays the airflow direction through the Compact Macro BTS.

equipment rack.
Warning:
Use the rack breakers to stop power to the rack before removing or installing the
Compact Macro BTS.
Warning:
Verify the unit is properly grounded, using the provided ground stud on the rear
panel (see Figure 8). Failure to install proper grounding may cause personal injury
and/or damage to equipment.
See Table 1 on page 14 for hardware specifications.
Maximum Permissible To comply with the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) requirements, the
Exposure Requirements maximum power density resulting from the composite Effective Isotopic Radiated
Power (EIRP) from the antenna connected to this equipment must be such that
exposure is limited to a maximum of 1 mW/cm2.
This value can be achieved by multiple combinations of RF output, antenna gain,
and distance from the antenna when energized.
The MPE is expressed as follows:
Power Density Pd (mW/cm2) = EIRP/4 d2
Where d = distance from the antenna.
As an example, with the transmitter running at 20 W output into an antenna with
a gain of 10 dBi, the minimum safe distance from the antenna to insure that
exposure remains below 1 mW/cm2 would be 126 cm.
When installing, the above relationship should be used to insure the combination
of power, antenna gain, and distance are such that the maximum permissible
power density of 1 mW/cm2 is not exceeded. Different combinations of output
power and antenna gain will result in different minimum safe distances.
Mounting the Compact Macro The Compact Macro BTS is mounted at the rear of the rack, as shown in Figure 6
BTS and requires 3U rack spaces—approximately 5.25 in. (13.33 cm) high, 19 in.
(48.26 cm) wide, and 24 in. (60.96 cm) deep.

Connecting the GPS The Compact Macro BTS requires a GPS antenna, and the GPS satellite system to
maintain precise timing.
GPS Connection Guidelines
A BTS requires accurate timing information for both ToD and message
synchronization.
The GPS is a constellation of 24 active, and three backup, Earth‐orbiting satellites.
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 are 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 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.
GPS Receiver Protection
The Compact Macro BTS provides +5 VDC voltage at the GPS antenna input
connector to power the external antenna. Verify the voltage is sufficient for
normal antenna operation and the power consumption of the antenna does not
exceed 275mW.
Connecting a GPS Cable to the Compact Macro BTS
A GPS antenna connection point is provided on the rear panel of the Compact
Macro BTS (see Figure 8 on page 36).
The Compact Macro BTS connector supports either N type or TMA type
connections via the supplied N‐TMA adapter.
Caution:
Verify appropriate lightning protection is provided for the GPS antenna and
cables.
Caution:
A GPS antenna is an active antenna. Avoid a short‐circuit termination of the GPS
antenna input on the Compact Macro BTS case. If different voltage is fed to the
external GPS antenna, use the DC block module with an external
lightning‐protector to avoid back‐current leakage into the GPS antenna input.
The network operator is responsible for supplying the GPS antenna and cables.
To connect the external GPS antenna cable:
1 Verify that external AC power to the Compact Macro BTS is stopped.
Caution:
Do not over‐tighten connector.
2 Connect the GPS antenna cable to the GPS connector on the rear panel of the
Compact Macro BTS (see Figure 8 on page 36).

digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
Canadian Regulatory
Statement
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES‐003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB‐003 du
Canada.
Caution:
Unauthorized modifications or changes not expressly approved by Global Star
Solutions ULC could void compliance with regulatory rules, and thereby your
authority to use this equipment.
RF Exposure MPE Exhibit
This device operates at frequencies in the 1900 MHz region. Maximum
permissible exposure in this region is specified under per FCC Part 1, Section
1.1310, Table 1, as 1 mW/cm2.
FCC Part 1, Section 1.1307 states that Part 24E (Broadband PCS) devices are
excluded from routine environmental evaluation when operating at power levels
beneath a maximum EIRP of 3280 W.
EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) is the amount of power that a
theoretical isotropic antenna (that evenly distributes power in all directions)
would emit to produce the peak power density observed in the direction of
maximum antenna gain.
EIRP can take into account the losses in transmission line and connectors and
includes the gain of the antenna.

Appendix A: Regulatory Notices
EIRP = Pt ‐ Lc + Ga
Where EIRP and Pt (power of transmitter) are in dBm, cable losses (Lc) is in dB,
and antenna gain (Ga) is expressed in dBi, relative to a (theoretical) isotropic
reference antenna.
No antenna is supplied with this unit. Therefore, based on measured RF output
power of 26.18 watts at 1947.5 MHz and assumption of cable loss is zero, the
maximum antenna gain that will allow the EIRP to remain under the
environmental evaluation exclusion limit of 3280 watts is 20.97 dB.
MPE is determined by the following relationship:
Power Density Pd (mW/cm2) = EIRP/4 d2
Where d = distance.
3280 watts = 3.28x106 mW
Therefore:
d = (EIRP/4 Pd)1/2
= (3.28x106 mW/ 4 1 mW/cm2)) 1/2
= 510.89 = 511 cm
The minimum safe distance from a radiating structure exhibiting a maximum gain
of 20.97 dB connected to the Compact Macro BTS, when installed and
transmitting at full output power, is 511 cm.
