The plug-in construction of theNokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station also provides great flexibility when, forexample, capacity expansion is considered.In addition to its other versatile and advanced properties, the Nokia MetroSiteEDGE Base Station is designed for easy commissioning. This has been achievedby the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager, which incorporates a commissioningwizard and BTS configuration autodetection.The Nokia MetroSite EDGE base station’s size and ease of deployment help theoperator to reduce site planning and site acquisition costs. The fast start-up andthe quick integration into the network enable immediate revenue flow to theoperator. Furthermore, the operational costs are low as the BTS management is toa large extent carried out remotely from the OSS.
Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station featuresDN991444 © Nokia Corporation Draft 19 (98)Issue 3-0 en Draft Nokia Proprietary and Confidential3Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base StationfeaturesThis chapter describes the technical properties of the Nokia MetroSite EDGEBase Station that contribute to:• Microcellular capacity• Network quality• Data services• Deployment• Operation and maintenanceA description of the advanced telecommunication features is also presented here.A detailed description of technical features supported by the Nokia MetroSiteEDGE Base Station can be found in the Feature Descriptions document deliveredin the Nokia MetroSite Base Station Software Release Binder. For a list of NokiaMetroSite EDGE Base Station properties, see also Chapter 8 in this document.3.1 Building capacity with the Nokia MetroSite EDGEBase StationThe features described in this section accommodate the efficient building ofcapacity such as microcellular, building infill and roadside coverage.3.1.1 Four TRX BTS with flexible sectoring and dual band operationOne Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station incorporates up to four TRXs and thusprovides sufficient capacity to handle a large amount of telecommunicationtraffic. The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can be sectored very flexibly.Every TRX has its own antenna connector. Every TRX also incorporates a duplexfilter, and one antenna therefore handles both transmitting and receiving. Any cellcan incorporate up to four TRXs and, on the other hand, every TRX can form asector of its own within a cell. Consequently, the maximum number of sectors fora stand-alone BTS is four.
Product Description20 (98) © Nokia Corporation Draft DN991444Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Issue 3-0 en DraftNoteThe dual band feature enables the operator to configure any sector to operateeither on a 900 or 1800 MHz frequency, thus increasing the capacity of thenetwork. With CX 3.2 software, or later, the 800/1800 MHz and 800/1900 MHzdual band frequencies are also possible.More information on the coverage areas created with different sectoring optionscan be found in Section 4.1 in this document.The term “cell” is used in the network management system (NMS) context,referring to the coverage area of transceivers from the same base station.3.1.2 Chaining of Nokia MetroSite EDGE base stationsInternal bus and Abis chaining are both possible with the Nokia MetroSite EDGEBase Station. For more information on Abis chaining, refer to Section 4.2.To further increase the capacity expansion possibilities, Nokia MetroSite EDGEbase stations can be chained as one BCF object to include up to 12 TRXs.Chaining is done by extending the BTS internal buses through the extensioninterface on the interface unit. Each BTS is connected to the next BTS in the chainwith only one cable (up to five metres). Only one of the BTSs (the master BTS)incorporates a transmission unit (FXC type).One BTS acts as the master BTS, in which the master TRX of the chain is located.However, each BTS has a dedicated TRX to control the heating and coolingfunctions. The chained BTSs share the same frame clock (FCLK) and framenumber and the sector configuration is therefore not limited by the cabinetboundaries.The chain can be commissioned in various diversity configurations. For example,a chain with three BTSs could be configured with two sectors and six TRXs persector.The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can also be connected to a NokiaMetroHub Transmission Node. In this case, the BTS cabinet must incorporate atransmission unit.
Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station featuresDN991444 © Nokia Corporation Draft 21 (98)Issue 3-0 en Draft Nokia Proprietary and Confidential3.1.3 RF power and sensitivity for microcellular applicationsThe RF performance of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is suitable formicrocellular, building infill and roadside coverage applications. The maximumRF power of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station transmitter is 5 W at theantenna connector. The maximum RF power of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE BaseStation in EDGE modulation mode is 3.2 W. The RX sensitivity is better than -106 dBm. The output power and the receiver sensitivity of the Nokia MetroSiteEDGE Base Station, together with the use of surrounding buildings to limit thecell size, allow efficient frequency re-use with minimised interference.The dynamic power level range of the transmitter and the static broadcast controlchannel (BCCH) power level range are shown in Table 1.3.1.4 Smooth capacity expansionAs the operator’s demand for capacity grows, additional TRXs can be installed tothe Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station during operation without interruptingthe BTS service.3.2 High network qualityThe Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station increases the capacity of the networkand also maintains the quality of telecommunication traffic. This sectiondescribes the features that contribute to the high network quality.3.2.1 Receiver diversityReceiver diversity (also known as uplink diversity) is available in the NokiaMetroSite EDGE Base Station when two or more TRXs belong to the samesector.Table 1.

Product Description22 (98) © Nokia Corporation Draft DN991444Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Issue 3-0 en DraftMultipath propagation of the radio signal may cause local variations of signalstrength. Deep fades, particularly when the mobile station is near a cell border,reduce the quality of the received signal. To minimise this effect, a spatial orpolarisation receiver diversity can be used, which means that two different pathsare used for the received signals.Antennas are placed physically apart or they employ different polarisation so thatcorrelation between received signals is minimised. It is probable that even if oneof the receiver branches suffers from a deep fading drop, the other receives asignal of sufficient quality. The two separate paths are processed in the basebandsection of the BTS transceiver, and the pre-detection weighted summing methodis used to combine the signals of the two branches.Diversity can be enabled or disabled from the BSC. When diversity is employed,the BTS must be physically equipped according to the logical sectorconfiguration at the BSC.3.2.2 Frequency hoppingThe Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station supports synthesised (RF) frequencyhopping when there are at least two TRXs in the same sector.The most significant property of frequency hopping is that it enables averaging ofthe interference to RF signal between network users. Frequency hopping can beused to minimise signal quality degradation caused by frequency selective fading,especially for slow moving MSs and narrow band interfering signals.Synthesised frequency hopping enables each TRX to change frequency onsuccessive time slots, so that a given carrier can hop at several frequencies inquick succession.It is possible to use either a cyclic or random frequency hopping scheme asdefined in GSM 05.02, 05.08 recommendations.3.2.3 Antenna solutionThe MetroSite antenna is a small and unobtrusive dual band antenna designed formicrocellular, building infill and roadside coverage. It is a directional two-portantenna with two antenna elements in one casing. This means that two TRXs canbe connected to one antenna. The gain of the antenna is 6 dBi and it provides 130°coverage.Other directional, omnidirectional and cross-polarised antennas can also be usedwith the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station. Furthermore, distributed antennasystems (DAS), which are primarily used for building fill-in coverage, can beemployed.
Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station featuresDN991444 © Nokia Corporation Draft 23 (98)Issue 3-0 en Draft Nokia Proprietary and ConfidentialWhen the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station itself is installed inside abuilding, the antennas can be located outdoors. The size of antenna feeders, 1/4”and 3/8”, support the flexibility of installation.The TRX test includes an antenna cable detection feature which, in most of thecases, verifies whether the cable connection between the TRX and the antenna isfree of faults.3.3 Telecommunication featuresThe most important telecommunication features supported by the NokiaMetroSite EDGE Base Station software are discussed in this section. The basicfeatures are presented as a list in Section 8.3. A detailed description of all thetelecommunication features can be found in the software release documentation.Half rate speech codingThe use of half rate (HR) speech coding makes it possible to almost double theamount of available traffic channels on the radio path. This is achieved with theexisting transmission lines on the Abis interface. Half rate coding enables the useof 8 Kbit/s channels.Enhanced full rate speech codingEnhanced full rate (EFR) speech coding improves the voice quality in all channelconditions. The coding is based on improvements made for half rate codingapplied to the existing GSM full rate channel coding.Support for data servicesThe Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station supports a number of features thatenable efficient data traffic. The most advanced of those features are dealt withhere. See also Section 3.3.1 in this document.•High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCD). This feature providesaccelerated data rates for the end-user applications such as browsing theInternet, file transfer and facsimile.•14.4 Kbit/s GSM data services provide accelerated user data rates at 14.4Kbit/s level. This feature can be combined with HSCSD.•Non-transparent and transparent data (9600, 4800, 2400 bit/s). Non-transparent means that the data rate can be changed automatically duringthe call (due to increased traffic, for example). Transparent data uses afixed data rate throughout the duration of a call.
Product Description24 (98) © Nokia Corporation Draft DN991444Nokia Proprietary and Confidential Issue 3-0 en Draft3.3.1 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)GPRS is designed to make the GSM data services more compatible with LAN,WAN, and the Internet. In GPRS, the radio resources are used only when thereactually is data to be sent or received. GPRS also provides immediateconnectivity and very short set-up for sending a data packet. The throughput is ashigh as in high speed circuit switched data (HSCSD). The Nokia MetroSiteEDGE Base Station supports GPRS coding schemes 1 and 2.3.3.2 Enhanced General Packet Radio Service (EGPRS)EGPRS is built on top of GPRS to increase the data rate of GPRS by applyingEDGE modulation and increasing the Air interface throughput. The data rate ofGPRS is increased up to threefold with EGPRS. The Nokia MetroSite EDGEBase Station supports EGPRS modulation and coding schemes (MCS) 1 to 7.EGPRS requires EDGE capable TRXs to be fitted in the BTS and CX 3.2software or later.3.4 Easy and fast deploymentThis section describes the installation and commissioning procedures of theNokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station. The detailed task-oriented instructions canbe found in Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station: Installation and in NokiaMetroSite EDGE Base Station: Commissioning.3.4.1 InstallationVariety of installation possibilitiesDue to its small size, unobtrusive appearance, low weight, and high level ofintegration, the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station accommodates a variety ofnew installation possibilities. The extended environmental performance of theNokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station enables installation indoors and outdoors,even in extreme climatic conditions. Mounting options are available for both walland pole installations. The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can also bemounted horizontally on its back. For more information on mounting positionsrefer to Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station: Requirements for Installation andOperation.Delivery and installation procedureThe Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is delivered to the site with the orderedplug-in units pre-installed. Shield units are installed in those unit slots that are notoccupied by functional units. The purpose of shield units is to provide protectionfor the backplane connectors, ensure optimal air flow inside the cabinet, andprovide EMC and weather shielding for the BTS.
Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station featuresDN991444 © Nokia Corporation Draft 25 (98)Issue 3-0 en Draft Nokia Proprietary and ConfidentialAfter unpacking the delivery, some of the units can be removed from the BTS tomake it easier to handle. Usually, removing only the TRXs makes the NokiaMetroSite EDGE Base Station light enough to handle.The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is then installed on a wall or a pole. Inwall mountings, the packing cardboard can be used as a template for drilling theanchor screw holes to the wall. In pole mountings, an additional pole mountingkit is used to attach the BTS to the installation pole.After the removed plug-in units are reinstalled, the cabinet ground and powercables are connected. The next step is to connect the diversity cables,transmission cables and antenna cables. Then the BTS is powered up andcommissioning is started. Finally, the lock and the cover are installed to the BTS.3.4.2 Commissioning with the Nokia MetroSite BTS ManagerNokia MetroSite BTS Manager is a PC-based tool which includes acommissioning wizard that guides the user throughout the whole commissioningprocess.AutodetectionThe BTS software includes an autodetection feature which identifies the BTShardware. This reduces the time spent for commissioning as the user does nothave to create a separate HW database for the BTS. The system data is replicatedto each TRX so that none of the BTS parameters are lost when the units arereplaced.No external measuring devices are needed for BTS commissioning tests.The task-oriented instructions for each step can be found in Nokia MetroSiteEDGE Base Station: Commissioning document.

Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager Commissioning WizardManual commissioningBefore the commissioning at the BTS site can be started, the following tasks mustbe performed:• The LAPD links must be created at the BSC• The PCM port at the BSC must be set to activeThe commissioning procedure performed on site with the Nokia MetroSite BTSManager includes the following steps:• Transmission configuration• Checking alarms and EACs• Running the tests• Creating the BTS commissioning reportIn the near future, the use of the Site Configuration File (SCF) will considerablyease the commissioning as most of the parameters can be fed directly from thefile, for example, the Abis time slot allocation can be automated.The Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager automatically produces a commissioningreport at the end of the commissioning process.
Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station featuresDN991444 © Nokia Corporation Draft 27 (98)Issue 3-0 en Draft Nokia Proprietary and Confidential3.5 Advanced operation and maintenanceThe features concerning the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the NokiaMetroSite EDGE Base Station are described in this section.During operation, the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is managed remotelyfrom the OSS. Site visits to carry out routine O&M tasks are not usually needed.3.5.1 Integration of TRX and base control functions (BCF)One of the TRXs is configured as the master TRX of the BTS. Physically there isno difference between the master TRX and the slave TRXs. In addition to thenormal TRX functions, the master TRX handles the BTS operation andmaintenance functions. Consequently, there is no need for a dedicated plug-inunit to handle these functions. For more information refer to Section 6.1.2. TheO&M signalling and TRX signalling can also be combined into one channel tooptimise the use of transmission capacity.3.5.2 BTS diagnostics, alarms and TRX testAlarm diagnosticsThe Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station features a BTS diagnostics system thatconsiderably reduces the number of alarms. Relevant alarm information is easilyaccessible and understandable. A detailed description of the Nokia MetroSiteEDGE Base Station alarms can be found in the software release documentation.The alarm diagnostics system filters out spurious alarms, reporting only thosealarms that directly affect the BTS service level. The alarms are addressed to theunit level, which helps the maintenance engineers locate the faulty unit.In the case of a mains power failure, the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Stationprovides sufficient backup time for an alarm to be sent to the BSC.TRX testThe TRX test is a multipurpose test designed for testing the total performance ofthe intended TRX and Radio Time Slot (RTS).

Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station featuresDN991444 © Nokia Corporation Draft 29 (98)Issue 3-0 en Draft Nokia Proprietary and ConfidentialThe BTS has a cooling fan and built-in heaters to provide a smooth temperaturecontrolling facility. The BTS software controls the heating and cooling to provideoperation conditions which are as stable as possible. Heating and cooling areadjusted gradually to ensure low temperature gradients and noise levels. Thetemperature is continuously monitored with sensors placed on active units.The heater elements are located inside the transceiver and transmission units.When the BTS starts up in an extremely cold environment, the units are warmedup to the operation temperature range (-10ºC or +14ºF within each TRX) beforethe actual BTS operation starts.The fan unit generates the cooling air flow inside the BTS. The fan unit has 16speeds, ensuring low temperature gradients and noise levels.If the temperature of any unit rises too high, due to a broken fan unit or too hotconditions on the site for example, the TRX issues an analysed temperature alarmto the BSC. The master TRX then shuts down the appropriate TRX. Similarly, ifthe power supply is overheated, the master TRX switches off the power for allunits. The power supply switches the power back on when the temperature hasreturned to the operational range.During operation, the master TRX starts the heating process if the internaltemperature drops below the specified limit.

Figure 6 shows how the buildings surrounding the Nokia MetroSiteEDGE Base Station can be used to limit the cell size and shape in an urbanenvironment.Figure 6. Microcells built with the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base StationThe Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can be sectored freely. A sectorconsists of one broadcast control channel (BCCH) TRX and, often, one to threetraffic channel (TCH) TRXs. The maximum number of TRXs in one sector isfour.At the BSC, one of the slave TRXs is by default defined as the BCCH TRX. TheBCCH TRX the most likely TRX to need replacement and a slave TRX can bereplaced without interrupting the BTS operation. If desired, the BCCH can beforced on the master TRX by using the preferred BCCH feature at the BSC.By using the different sectoring possibilities provided by the Nokia MetroSiteEDGE Base Station and by directing the antennas, different types of coverageareas can be created. The actual shape of the coverage areas varies depending onthe environment.BTSBTS

The power is distributed to theunits of the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station and to radio outdoor units (ifused) via the backplane. DC power supplies are reverse polarity protected.In the case of mains power failure, the AC power supply unit provides a backuptime of 130 ms during which the alarm can be sent. The alarm signal appearswhen the input voltage drops below the specified limit. The limit is dependent onthe power supply unit type.6.6.1 Power supply unit alternativesThe power supply units alternatives available for the Nokia MetroSite EDGEBase Station are listed in Table 7.6.6.2 Output voltagesThe output voltages from the power supply unit are the following:• +3.4 VDC, +5.1 VDC, -5.1 VDC, +9.1 VDC, -9.1 VDC, +26.2 VDC and+55 VDC• 24 VDC for fan unitWhen the fan unit is not in use, the same output voltage feeds power to the heater.The output voltage to the fan unit and heating is controlled by the I2C-bus. Theheating voltage is controlled in five steps ranging from 0 VDC (no heating) to 24VDC (full heating), the intermediate voltages being 7.2 VDC, 10.9 VDC and 14.7VDC.DC power supplies are reverse polarity protected.Table 7.
