BTI DAS System The system consists of an Indoor HU (Host Unit) and an Outdoor RU (Remote Unit) and Network Management Software. 3.1 SYSTEM COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
mBSC DAS SystemInstallation Manual Issue 3©2009‐2011,BTIPage10 The Host Unit is designed to be mounted in a 19” rack and should only be utilized in an indoor environment (0C - 45C) or in a place were an indoor-type environment can be provided. The NMS (Network Management System) runs on a centralized server that provides access to the entire network of hub sites and Remote nodes. The NMS is designed to configure, monitor, and manage all system functionality.
mBSC DAS SystemInstallation Manual Issue 3©2009‐2011,BTIPage11 The Remote Units may consist of combinations of 700MHz, 850MHz, 1900MHz and 2100MHz frequencies and are available in either a 20 Watt or 40 Watt output configuration. Each RU is designed to support a Single Frequency Band. For multi-frequency use, the system can be configured as multiple Master/Slave Remote Units. Each Master Unit can support a maximum of two slave RUs with a maximum of three RUs supported per fiber connection. The primary transport between the HU and the RU is fiber optic. The Fiber Optic also provides the RU alarms and configuration communication between the NMS and the Remote Unit. The downlink and uplink optical signals are duplexed so only one fiber is required. 3.1.1 Host Unit The Host Unit provides a multiple slot assembly, consisting of 9 slots numbered from left to right: 1 through 9. Slots 7 through 9 are used and specifically keyed for the Remote Control Unit (RCU) and two redundant Power Supply Units (PSU) only. The Host Unit also houses the Base Station Interface Units (BIU) and Fiber Interface Units (FIU), Figure 3-2. The BIU comes in Diversity (BIU-D) and Non-Diversity (BIU-ND) and the FIU comes in Simulcast (FIU-S) and Non-Simulcast (FIU-NS) modules. The HU allows multiple combinations of BIU and FIU modules with up to 3 band downlink and uplink RF signals per BIU from the BTS and converts them to analog over RF for fiber transport. The Host Unit, through interface combinations, provides the following functions: • Converts the BTS RF signal to fiber signal. • Supplies connectivity between the BTS and the Remote Unit. • Manages and monitors the system alarms and configurations. • Supports 1 to 3 Sectors system configurations. • Supports a single sector with 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 Simulcast configuration. • Supplies fiber connectivity to the Remote Unit with in-band message signaling. Figure 3-2. Host Unit Multiple-Slot Assembly 3.1.2 Network Management System The Network Management System (NMS), shown in Figure 3-3, is a software-based Network Management System tool that provides control and monitoring functions for the BTI mBSC DAS system. NMS is used to provision and configure a new system for operation, set the system operating parameters, get system alarms and status messages, and update the system firmware. The Network Management System provides the following functions: • Manages SNMP v2 messaging to the Network Operating Center (NOC). • Provides a detailed graphic User Interface to manage, monitor and configure multiple DAS system. • Configure multiple DAS systems custom alarms. • Provides a firmware update interface.

Network Management System Software Components Folder and Desktop Icon 3.1.3 Remote Unit The Single-Band Master Remote Unit, shown in Figure 3-4a, b and c, consists of an optical module (O/E), a downlink power amplifier, an LNA, and duplexer. The Optical module converts the downlink optical signal from the FIU module in the HU and splits the RF signal into 3 RUs. It also converts the uplink RF signal to an optical signal and simultaneously sends it to the FIU module in the HU for distribution to the BIU modules. Each optical module can support 3 RUs in any combination of different bands. The Single-Band Master Remote Unit provides the following functions: • Converts the forward optic signal to RF signal. • Boosts the forward RF signal from the HU to a higher power level (max output:40W). • Amplifies the uplink signal from the antenna to improve the system receive sensitivity. • Supplies in-band messaging between the HU and RU for RU Alarms and configuration.
