1 Introduction
1.1 General
The architecture of the BS 240/241 II provides maximum flexibility to develop highest capacity BTSs with reduced volume per TRX and an expanded number of 48 TRXs in 3 racks. The BS-240/241 II is an evolution of the BS-240/241 product line. The modifications represent the latest state of technology while maintaining the outstanding RF performance and conserving backward compatibility with existing SIEMENS SBS systems. The BS-240/241 II represents the new mainline of the Siemens base stations. The modular design principle with a low number of different modules ensures easy installation, commissioning and operating, as well as low training costs and maintenance expenses with a minimal spare parts pool required. The advanced technology guarantees low operational costs and an optimum economy of scale. Homogenous service throughout the network is assured by common BTS Software running on all the platforms. Any operation for rack extension or TRX substitution doesnt involve service interruption. Software-driven redundancy for core, power supply and broadcast channel modules offer highest reliability and enable hot swapping of modules. The modular architecture and the flexible internal structure enable the BS-240/241 II to provide new GSM features such as EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) and SDMA (Space Division Multiple Access). This platform ensures that network evolution is as smooth as possible. Software-driven redundancy for core, power supply and broadcast channel modules offer highest reliability end enable hot swapping of modules without service interruption. The provision of a full spectrum of combining equipment allows high power and minimized number of antennas. High receiver sensitivity is also guaranted.

The architecture of BS-240/241 II provides maximum flexibility to develop large and small BTSs. The main communication between the modules is provided by means of bi-directional serial links (CC-links) between the carrier units and the core modules. These CC-links handle the entire communication between BTSE core and carrier units basedband frequency hopping is also supported by these links. All alarms, besides the alarms generated in the COBA and in the carrier units, are transported via the CAN bus. Alarms of the carrier units are transmitted via CC-link, the COBA uses the interface bus. The carrier unit provides all analog and digital signal processing including an RF power stage necessary to process a single carrier (e.g. GSM 8 TCHs). The carrier unit(s) interface with the combining equipment on the one side and with the core modules on the other. The core modules provide functions common to all carriers within the BTSE (e.g. clock generation, O&M processing,...) as well as LAPD processing for the carriers.

3.2.1

Core Basis (COBA)


The COBA is the central board of the core. The main components of this board are the base core controller, the advanced clock generation, the serial link interface controller that manage the external interface towards the carrier units, the PCM30/24 Abis interfaces, the internal system alarm interface and also an interface to one satellite board (COSA) to expand the BTSE. The COBA has to be installed in the base rack/shelter. Types of COBA: M:COBA2P8V2 M:COBA4P12V1 supports 2 PCM lines supports 4 PCM lines

Name convention for COBAs and COSAs: The first digit gives the number of Abis-interfaces, the following letter gives the kind of Abis-interface (e.g. P for PCM30/24), and the following number gives the number of carrier-unit-interfaces (CC-links). For example: COBA2P8 means 2 PCM30/24 Abis-interfaces and 8 carrier-unit-interfaces. COBA4P12 means 4 PCM30/24 Abis-interfaces and 12 carrier-unit-interfaces. The base core controller maintains the software of all BTSE units in FLASH-EPROMs, monitors the software download, and terminates all internal system alarms. Beside the O&M functions, the controller handles the signalling messages between the BSC (Abis) and carrier units (CC-link). The ACLK generates the system specific timing signals that are distributed by the CC-link to the carrier units. The cross connect feature is supported. To provide this feature, additional core modules are required: With COBA2P8: A COSA6P16 must be installed additionally. With COBA4P12: Either a COSA4P12 or a COREXT must be installed additionally. Core redandancy is possible (see Core Redundancy on page 28). Fault propagation through dependent modules If a failure occurs in the COBA, the entire BTSE is out of operation. In case of a COBA failure all active calls are lost.

3.2.2

Core Satellite (COSA)


The main task of the COSA board is to increase the number of the PCM30/24 Abis interfaces and CC-links of the COBA. A COBA4P12 in combination with a COSA4P12 makes the cross connect functionality available. If more than 8 carrier units have to be provided the installation of a COSA board becomes necessary. The COBA only provides the carrier units of the base rack/shelter. The COSA is responsible for those in the extension racks/shelters. Therefore, a COSA is always required for a configuration with extension racks/shelters even if the total number of carrier units in the BTSE is not larger than 8. The COSA extends the configuration by 6 Abis ports and 16 CC-links for 16 further carrier units. In the configuration with COBA and COSA, the BTSE can support max. 8 PCM lines and max. 24 carrier units. The COSA is controlled via a satellite interface (32 bit data) by the COBA and receives the working-clock from the COBA.

Core Link Extension (COREXT)


The COREXT board is an extension in case more than 2 PCM30/24 Abis interfaces or 8 CC-links (8 carrier units) shall be used with a COBA4P12. Together with a COBA4P12, the cross connect functionality is available. The COREXT board is an optional module and can be installed alternatively to a COSA board inside the COSA slot in the base rack/shelter. The COREXT board connects 4 carrier unit ports and 2 Abis ports located at the COBA4P12 board via core backplane to the appropriate interfaces. Two external Abis (PCM) lines are connected directly to the COREXT board. These Abis (PCM) lines are routed to the COBA4P12. The COREXT is a passive board without a DC supply interface. Type of COREXT: COREXTV1 COBA4P12 extension with 2 Abis links and 4 CC-links

3.2.4

Core Redundancy
Redundancy in the SBS ensures survival of the system even in the event of multiple failures. Modular architecture, in conjunction with the concept of split functions, guarantees maximum survivability with a minimum of additional hardware. To fulfill the core redundancy aspects, a redundant COBA can be installed. It works in standby mode. In case of a serious fault to the active COBA, the redundancy algorithm switches over the passive one. One of the COBAs is active and one passive. The passive one is waitung for its activation in case of a failure within the active core. Both cores (#0 and #1) have link interfaces to the Abis lines, but only one (the active core) is connected. If the core consists of a combination of COBA and COSA or COBA and COREXT modules, each of these modules must be installed twice. Both the active and the passive core have links to the carrier units. In reverse, each carrier unit is linked with both cores. The traffic data are transmitted transparently through the active core. Signal processing takes place only within the carrier units. The redundancy interface is realised as a 2 Mbit/s HDLC link which provides a communication interface between the two main microprocessors. The ACLK of the active core is connected with the one on the passive core. It allows the passive ACLK to be synchronized to the active one.

i i

With core redundancy, a mixed configuration with COBA2P8 and COBA4P12 in the same BTSE is not allowed. Redundancy is implemented in a cold-standby mode, i.e., all calls will get lost if a core switch over occurs. Fault propagation through dependent modules in case of core redundancy The redundant implemented COBA is a cold one (that means: no data synchronization between the two COBAs). When the system switches to the cold COBA, all the active calls are lost.

3.3

Carrier Related Modules


The carrier unit takes care of all carrier oriented tasks. In the uplink (UL) direction, two or four RF signals (diversity) are received and finally converted into TRAU frames and signalling data. In the downlink (DL) direction, TRAU frames and signalling data are received from the core and converted into a GMSK or 8PSK modulated RF signal, which is amplified to the desired power level. Different types of carrier related modules can be used: carrier units (CUs and GCUs), EDGE carrier units (ECUs) and flexible carrier units (FlexCUs). Each carrier unit can be replaced by another without any additional hardware change. An ECU is similar to a GCU but with the additional support of 8PSK modulation. It converts the signalling and traffic data into a GMSK or 8PSK modulated signal. A FlexCU is a complete two-carrier unit and its two TRX can be congured independently, e.g. into different sectors; GMSK and 8PSK modulated signals are supported. CU, GCU, ECU and FlexCU modules may be installed in any kind of mixed configurations. For the typical and the guaranteed values of RF output power level see page 31.

3.3.1

Carrier Units (CU)


The CU is a carrier unit variant which supports GMSK modulation. There are different variants of CUs for the several frequency bands GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 (refer also to Tab. 3.2).

3.3.2

GSM Carrier Unit (GCU)


The GCU is a carrier unit variant that supports GMSK modulation. There are different variants of GCUs for the frequency bands GSM 900 and GSM 1800 (refer also to Tab. 3.2).

3.3.3

EDGE Carrier Unit (ECU)


The EDGE carrier unit (ECU) can support EDGE functionality in uplink and downlink. In downlink direction, the signalling and traffic data are received from the core and converted into GMSK or 8PSK modulated signals which are amplified to the desired power level. With the introduction of EDGE it is possible to mix EDGE and non EDGE timeslots on the same carrier. There are different variants of ECUs for the several frequency bands GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 (refer also to Tab. 3.2). The mechanical design of ECU is identical to that of all other CU versions; it is therefore hardware compatible and fits into all BTSE racks/shelters.

Technical Description (TED:BSS) BS-240/241 II

Information Base Station System

3.3.4

Flexible Carrier Unit (FlexCU)


The FlexCU is a complete two-carrier unit with the same dimension and based on the ECU. Its two TRX can be configured independently, e.g. into different sectors. The FlexCU either acts as two independent ECUs or as one carrier unit with four receivers, the so called fourfold receive diversity mode. To improve the downlink in fourfold receive diversity mode it is recommended to activate the feature Transmission Diversity Time Delay. In uplink direction four RF signals are received and converted into traffic and signalling data. In downlink direction traffic and signalling data are received and converted into two GMSK or 8PSK modulated signals which are amplified to the desired power level. By using FlexCUs instead of other carrier units the number of carriers within the existing rack(s)/shelter(s) can be doubled. This is an ideal solution to double the capacity of BTSEs, an advantage not only for footprint restricted BTS sites. A working FlexCU requires about 30% less power than two ECUs. As soon as a TRX is idle, it is switched off. With this enhanced power saving mode the overall power consumption of an idle FlexCU (both TRX in idle state) is only appr. 40 Watt. The FlexCU supports all frequency bands: GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900. There exists one type for each frequency band (refer also to Tab. 3.2). FlexCU Operation Modes FlexCUs may operate in two different modes: the double and the single TRX mode. The double TRX mode is the default configuration of a FlexCU, with full support of MCS-1 to MCS-9 in uplink and downlink. It functions like 2 independent ECUs with complete twofold EDGE TRX functionality: Each of both transceivers shows a full-equipped main receiver and diversity receiver.

FlexCU Double TRX Mode

The so called fourfold receive diversity mode is the single TRX mode in which the FlexCU functions as one carrier unit with four receivers. If transmit diversity is enabled, this mode is automatically activated. The four receivers of the FlexCU are fed by 4 independent antennas via one (F)DUAMCO together with one DIAMCO. The TX path is fed via the (F)DUAMCO to 2 of the 4 antennas. The fourfold receive diversity mode enhances the receiver sensitivity of the BTSE. The doubled number of the RX paths leads to an enhanced diversity gain.

Combining Modules
Combining modules are RF-dependent modules. It is possible to implement DUAMCO/FDUAMCO modules of different frequency bands, but: All combining equipment in a cell must support the same frequency range (that means either GSM 850, or GSM 900, or GSM 1800, or GSM 1900).

3.4.1

Duplexer Amplifier Multicoupler (DUAMCO)


The DUAMCO consists of two identical modules. Each of the DUAMCO modules combines the transmit and receive paths to one antenna connector. It splits the receive signal to be used in the carrier units and serves as a duplexer unit, which provides filtering functions for both RX and TX paths and low noise amplification for the RX path. For each frequency band different versions of DUAMCO are available. Different DUAMCO versions provide different functionalities: a DUAMCO 2:2 module connects one carrier to one antenna a DUAMCO 4:2 module connects up to 2 carriers to one antenna a DUAMCO 8:2 module connects up to 4 carriers to one antenna it is possible to install up to 4 DUAMCO 2:2 or DUAMCO 4:2 and up to 2 DUAMCO 8:2 respectively in one rack/shelter.

DUAMCOs of different versions have a different TX attenuation. The DUAMCO is equipped with complete TMA interfaces for DC supply and signalling. For more information about the DUAMCO please refer to page 50. Fault propagation through dependent modules Each amplifier of the DUAMCO RX path (LNA) consists of two parallel branches. If only one branch of one amplifier has a failure, the amplifier will reach lower sensitivity and generates a warning. The operation continues with performance degradation. If more than one branch of the whole amplifier chain is faulty, the corresponding path of the receiver will not be ready for operation. The connected carrier units lose one of their RX paths (normal or diversity path). The operation continues without diversity feature. If a carrier unit loses both RX paths, it will be set out of operation.

3.4.2

Flexible Duplexer Amplifier Multicoupler (FDUAMCO)


The FDUAMCO is the successor of the DUAMCO. It consists of two identical modules, which each combine the transmit and receive paths to one antenna connector. Each FDUAMCO module may be jumpered in the following modes: 2:2 mode 1 carrier is fed to the antenna port 4:2 mode 2 carriers are combined and fed to the antenna port Within each cell/sector the same mode of the FDUAMCO shall be installed. The FDUAMCO is equipped with complete TMA interfaces for DC supply and signalling. For more information about the FDUAMCO please refer to page 50.

3.4.3

Co-Amplifier Multicoupler (COAMCO8)


The COAMCO8 consists of two identical modules. The COAMCO8 is used in combination with a FDUAMCO in 4:2 mode to provide an 8:2 configuration (see Fig. 4.14), so four carriers are combined and fed to the antenna port. A COAMCO8 is available for GSM 850/900 MHz or GSM 1800/1900 MHz. For more information about the COAMCO8 please refer to page 56.

3.4.4

Dual Integrated Amplifier Multicoupler (DIAMCO)


The DIAMCO is an optional module for antenna multicoupling and is required for the RX signal path in FICOM configurations and special DUAMCO configurations. The DIAMCO is required to implement two cells/sectors with RX diversity in a base or extension rack/shelter. For the uplink direction, a DIAMCO module is used to split the RX antenna signal into several receiver inputs. The DIAMCO is equipped with complete TMA interfaces for DC supply and signalling. For more information about the DIAMCO please refer to page 56. Fault propagation through dependent modules Each amplifier of the DIAMCO RX path (LNA) consists of two parallel branches. If only one branch of one amplifier has a failure, the amplifier will reach lower sensitivity and generates a warning. The operation continues with performance degradation. If more than one branch of the whole amplifier chain is faulty, the corresponding path of the receiver will not be ready for operation. The connected carrier units lose one of their RX paths (normal or diversity path). The operation continues without diversity feature. If a carrier unit loses both RX paths, it will be set out of operation.

3.4.5

Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA)


The TMA is an optional module and connects the antenna with the BTSE in order to amplify the receive signal. The configuration with TMA is advantageous because the system sensitivity will not be degraded by feeder cable loss. One TMA is needed for every created RX path of (F)DUAMCO and / or DIAMCO installed and not cascaded. There are 2 kinds of TMA: the "single TMA" (GSM 850, GSM 900) and the "dual TMA" (GSM 1800, GSM 1900). ,

If the TMA is used together with a HPDU, a BIAS-T (DUBIAS) for powering and signalling of the TMA is required. For more information about the TMA please refer to page 60. Fault propagation through dependent modules The TMA watches its LNA by monitoring the DC current and generates an alarm message towards (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO. The connected (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO generates an alarm to O&M in case of malfunction. LEDs on the front panel of the (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO show the state of each TMA. Each green LED indicates that the DC for the TMA is OK and each red LED gives notice of a faulty TMA if the BTSE is configured for TMA.

Technical Description (TED:BSS) BS-240/241 II

Information Base Station System

The LNA consists of two parallel branches. If only one branch has a failure, the amplifier reaches lower gain and the connected (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO will generate a warning towards the O&M. Operation continues with performance degradation. In case that both branches fail, the amplifier will be bypassed by the Fail save switch. The connected (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO generates an alarm message towards the O&M. The red LED in the (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO of the concerned TMA is switched on, and the multicoupler device will be switched into AMCO mode automatically. The operation continues with minor performance degradation. If a TMA is installed, the (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO works in MUCO mode and only the second amplifier of the RX chain is active. If both branches of the TMA fail, Fail Save Compensation will take effect. The TMA connects the antenna directly to the (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO and the (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO receives a message to switch over into AMCO mode. In AMCO mode both amplifiers become active and the attenuation switches off. The connected carrier units continue their operation with minor performance degradation. Only a POWER ON/RESET or a software reset can terminate the state of Fail Save Compensation.

3.4.6

Filter Combiner (FICOM)


With a FICOM it is possible to combine up to 8 frequencies in the downlink direction (TX) in one rack/shelter. For the uplink direction (RX), the DIAMCO has to be used to filter and distribute the received signals to the carrier units. FICOMs advantage is the very low insertion loss. The FICOMs are implemented for two different frequency bands: R-GSM 900 and GSM 1800.

Name convention for FICOMs: The first part gives the number of carriers (= 2 * number of modules), the second part gives the minimum frequence distance between these carriers in KHz. For example: FICOM4/600 means 4 carriers with a minimum frequence distance of 600 KHz. For more information about the FICOM please refer to page 62.

3.4.7

High Power Duplexer (HPDU)


The HPDU combines the TX path and the RX path to one antenna, in order to minimize the number of antennas when FICOM is used. The HPDU contains a duplex filter for the transmit frequency band and for the receive frequency band, but no Low Noise amplifier in the RX path. The HPDUs are implemented for three different frequency bands: P-GSM 900, GSM-PS 900 and GSM 1800. Up to two HPDU can be integrated on top of the rack/shelter below the cover and up to two HPDU could fit in the gap between the inner side wall and the frame in the rack/shelter.

If the TMA is used together with a HPDU, a BIAS-T (DUBIAS) for powering and signalling of the TMA is required. For more information about the HPDU please refer to page 64.

The AC/DC system tasks are in detail: output supplying all -48V-consumers within the BTSE; input supplying of 230V AC 1-phase system for the world market and 208V AC 2-phase system (208V phase to phase) for the U.S. market. supplying external equipment with -48V charging and supervising of different backup battery types supervising AC/DCs, batteries and alarm messaging switching off DC outputs (AC/DCs as well as battery) in case of under and over temperature hot plug-in/out of AC/DC modules The AC/DC and the backup batteries work as an Uninterruptable Power Supply system (UPS). AC/DC modules work in load sharing "n+1", but n AC/DC are able to supply the whole BTSE (redundancy concept). A local AC/DC supervision and management system has been implemented which is accessible via RS232 interface and external PC. The AC/DC-System has external alarm outputs to be connected via wire to the ACTC. The nominal DC output power of one AC/DC module is 1600W for +50C (+122F) ambient temperature environment.

Backup Battery (BATTPACK)


The backup battery guarantees continuous operation for a certain time in case of main breakdown or AC/DC failure. Backup batteries are mandatory for AC-supplied systems and must be installed in the service racks/shelters. All battery systems connected to one AC/DC system should have the same capacity. The capacity of the backup battery can be increased by additional batteries in separate service2 racks/shelters. Emergency Operation The backup time of each BTSE can be increased by using the Emergency Operation feature. To hold the BTSE in operation mode for an extended time, it is necessary to switch over to Emergency Configuration after a user-defined time. In this mode, none or only operator defined TRX remain in operation. All TRX, which are not part of the emergency configuration, are switched off. The core modules and optional transmission equipment are supplied with DC voltage until low voltage detection circuit (LVD relay) disconnects the backup battery from system load. If enabled, a second timer counts for another user-defined time. With its expiration, all modules are switched off, except the core modules. This means Zero Configuration.

Heater Unit
The heater is an optional unit for outdoor use, thus only available for BS-241 II. The tasks of the heater are to preheat the ingested air and to warm up the shelter, if the temperature inside the shelter is below the specified operating temperature range of the integrated modules. If ambient temperatures below -5 C are expected, each sub-rack needs one heater unit. During cold start, only the heaters and the DCBCTRL board are supplied. All other modules remain off. They are switched on as soon as the shelter temperature is higher than +5 C. For an AC-supplied BTSE an AC-heater has to be used. Temperature dependent switching on/off is done by integrated switches. For a DC-supplied BTSE the DC-heater has to be used. The switching on/off function is done by the TMB (Temperature Management Board). The TMB board also controls the temperature dependent switching on/off of the entire shelter. The temperature control units of base and extension shelter operate independently. For each shelter one heater is needed. Fault propagation through dependent modules If the heater is faulty, the BTSE will operate as long as the temperature inside the shelter stays within defined operating range. If the temperature falls below the lower threshold of the defined range, the AC/DC converters and the backup battery are switched off and the BTSE goes down. If the internal temperature rises into the defined operating range again, the BTSE starts automatically with operation.

Functionality of Combining Modules


In order to serve cells with different carrier numbers and antenna configurations, certain combinations of combining modules are required. These configurations provide the necessary performance in a cost effective way. With respect to the downlink, a trade off exists between the number of antennas and the insertion loss for a given carrier number. Increasing the antenna number decreases the downlink insertion loss introduced by hybrid combining of carriers to one antenna port.

4.2.1

FDUAMCO / DUAMCO
The (F)DUAMCO (flexible duplexer amplifier multicoupler) modules contain duplex filters in order to combine the transmit and receive paths to one antenna connector. The receive and transmit part of the duplex filter, respectively, provide the substantial part of the receive and transmit band filtering required by GSM 05.05, 11.21 and JTC J-STD-007. The (F)DUAMCO represents one LRU. The type of (F)DUAMCO required depends on the carriers to be combined to the antenna system. Its modules can be assigned to the same cell or to different cells.

The frequency band of the (F)DUAMCO must correspond to the frequency band of the concerning cell to be served. The (F)DUAMCO consists of two (identical) modules and a common part. Each module contains a duplex filter which combines the RX and the TX path together, to be fed to a common antenna. Each RX path consists of: the low noise amplier (LNA), 2 branches an attenuator a power splitter a cascade output The LNA ensures a low system noise figure and consists of two branches. In case of malfunction of one amplifier, the RX gain of the (F)DUAMCO decreases by about 6 dB. The power splitter distributes the received signal to the carrier units. A splitting factor of 4 is implemented in order to feed up to four TRX. Each TX path consists of: an isolator for the TX input an antenna supervision unit (ASU) for DUAMCO 4:2 and DUAMCO 8:2: a hybrid coupler for FDUAMCOs: a jumper for combining mode setting The isolator for the TX input protects the power amplifiers (PAs) inside the carrier units from each other in order to assure the required inter-modulation suppression. The (F)DUAMCO detects a VSWR alarm and generates a failure information towards the O&M (CAN bus interface). This information is subdivided in several levels with the following characteristics: VSWR < 2 neither generation of warning nor of an alarm 2 VSWR 3 generation of warning Minor VSWR fault VSWR > 3 generation of VSWR alarm Major VSWR fault A hybrid coupler feeds two TX inputs together to the TX path.

The common part consists of: a DC/DC converter plus a power distribution unit (PDU) an O&M interface The DC/DC converter supplies the (F)DUAMCO itself. The PDU provides the DC power supply and the alarm monitoring of the TMAs. Alarm monitoring is done with a signalling interface between (F)DUAMCO and TMA, modulated onto a IF carrier at 7.86 MHz. The O&M interface transmits error messages to the COBA via a O&M bus (CAN bus). Operating Modes The (F)DUAMCO has 2 operating modes. During the BTSE commissioning, the RX path must be switched into one of these modes (by DIP switches): AMCO mode MUCO mode The high amplifying AMCO mode is used, if the antenna is directly connected to the (F)DUAMCO (without a preamplifier TMA). The (F)DUAMCO gain is around 20/22 dB. The low amplifying MUCO mode is used in conjunction with a preamplifier (TMA). In the MUCO mode, the gain is reduced to about 2 dB. The gain of the (F)DUAMCO can be adjusted to the cable loss and the TMA gain with the DIP switch. This adjustment is only done once during the installation of the BTSE by the service personal. In the case of an installed TMA, the additional gain (which is higher than the cable loss) needs to be adjusted by means of an attenuator inside the (F)DUAMCO. The selected mode can be read by O&M software via CAN bus interface. With DUAMCO 2:2 or 4:2 or FDUAMCO in 2:2 or 4:2 mode an RX splitting factor of 4 is implemented in order to feed up to 4 carriers. With DUAMCO 8:2 or FDUAMCO in 4:2 mode in combination with a COAMCO8 an RX splitting factor of 8 is implemented in order to feed up to 8 carriers.

DUAMCO Specials
The DUAMCO x:y are named depending on the number "x" of transmit connectors fed by the carrier units and the number "y" of antenna connectors. Different versions of DUAMCO are available: DUAMCO 2:2 to combine up to 2 carriers (DUAMCO2xxx types) DUAMCO 4:2 to combine up to 4 carriers (DUAMCO4xxx types) DUAMCO 8:2 to combine up to 8 carriers (DUAMCO8xxx types)

DUAMCOs of different versions have a different TX attenuation. If 2 carriers shall be combined to the antenna system, the TX output of each carrier unit has to be fed to a TX input of a DUAMCO 2:2. Combining of the 2 carriers takes place on air. If more than 2 carriers shall be combined to the antenna system, a DUAMCO 4:2 or DUAMCO 8:2 is necessary.

DIAMCO
The DIAMCO (dual integrated amplifier multicoupler) is required for the RX signal path in FICOM configurations and special DUAMCO configurations. The DIAMCO is required to implement two cells/sectors with RX diversity in a base or extension rack/shelter. For the uplink direction, a DIAMCO module splits the RX antenna signal into several receiver inputs. Therefore it filters and distributes the received signals to the carrier units in one rack/shelter. The receive filters provide the substantial part of the receive band filtering required by GSM 05.05, 11.21 and JTC J-STD-007. One DIAMCO represents one LRU. Its modules can be assigned to the same cell or to different cells as long as they operate in the same frequency band.

The frequency band of the DIAMCO must correspond to the frequency band of the concerning cell to be served. The DIAMCO consists of 2 identical, independent modules and a common part. Each module contains: an RX lter the low noise amplier (LNA) an attenuator a power splitter a cascade output The LNA ensures a low system noise figure and consists of two branches. In case of malfunction of one amplifier, the RX gain of the DIAMCO decreases by about 6 dB. The power splitter distributes the received band to the carrier units. The splitting factor is 8. That means each module can drive up to 8 receiver inputs. The common part consists of: a DC/DC converter plus a power distribution unit (PDU) for two TMAs an O&M interface The DC/DC converter supplies the DIAMCO itself. The functionality of a PDU for two TMAs by means of an antenna feeder cable is integrated. This is the DC power supply and the alarm monitoring of the TMAs. Alarm monitoring is done with a signalling interface between DIAMCO and TMA, modulated onto a IF carrier at 7.86 MHz: This interface is identical to the interface between (F)DUAMCO and TMA. The O&M interface transmits error messages to the BTS core via a O&M bus (CAN bus). Due to the fact that TMA status information is available for the DIAMCO processor, the DIAMCO itself has to switch the RX mode according to the TMA status. Each TMA can be switched on or off by a separate switch. Operating Modes The DIAMCO RX amplifier has two operating modes, depending on the existence of TMAs: AMCO mode and MUCO mode. During the BTSE commissioning, the RX path must be switched into one of these modes: AMCO mode MUCO mode The high amplifying AMCO mode is used, if the antenna is directly connected to the DIAMCO (without a preamplifier, e.g. TMA). The DIAMCO gain is around 20/22 dB.

58

A30808-X3247-M22-5-7618

Information Base Station System

Technical Description (TED:BSS) BS-240/241 II

The low amplifying MUCO mode is used in conjunction with a preamplifier (TMA). In the MUCO mode the gain is reduced to about 2 dB. The gain of the DIAMCO can be adjusted to the cable loss and the TMA gain with the DIP switch. This adjustment is only done once during the installation of the BTSE by the service personal. In the case of an installed TMA, the additional gain (which is higher than the cable loss) needs to be adjusted by means of an attenuator inside the DIAMCO. The selected mode can be read by O&M software via CAN bus interface. When cascading DIAMCOs, the first DIAMCO works in the AMCO mode and the following DIAMCO in the MUCO mode.

TMA
In cell configuration with TMA, the true system RX sensitivity is guaranteed at the antenna connector, including the antenna feeder cable attenuation. For rack/shelter configuration without antenna pre-amplifier, the sensitivity is guaranteed only at the rack/shelter entry. The TMA (tower mounted amplifier) is an optional module and connects the antenna with the BTSE in order to amplify the receive signal and pass through the transmit signal. The TMA contains two duplex filters, each on one RF connector, to separate and combine the receive and transmit path inside the TMA. The configuration with TMA is advantageous because of the compensation of the antenna feeder cable losses. One TMA is needed for each RX path of (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO, in MUCO mode and not cascaded. A TMA represents one LRU. There are two kinds of TMA: the "single TMA" (types TMA and STMA) and the "dual TMA" (type DTMA). The single TMA consists of: 2 duplex lters to split RX and TX paths the low noise amplier (LNA) to amplify RX signals "Fail Safe Functionality" to ensure operation in case of faulty LNA A dual TMA consists of two identical, independent single TMA modules. Two (S)TMAs may be replaced by one DTMA unit of the same frequency band. The DC power for the TMA is feed into the triplexer by the power distribution unit (PDU) functionality of the (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO (via the antenna feeder). The encoder/decoder units of the TMA signalling interface generate an alarm for each TMA separately by monitoring the DC current consumption of each unit. The following figures show the block diagrams of the TMA single and dual:

FICOM
With the FICOM, it is possible to combine up to 8 frequencies in the downlink direction (TX) in one rack. For the uplink direction (RX), the DIAMCO has to be used to filter and distribute the received signals to the carrier units. The FICOM consists of remote tunable narrowband filters (TNF). The advantage of this filter combining technique is the very low insertion loss, if e.g., 8 transmitters are combined to one antenna. In principle the FICOM offers the following functions: RF Functions: RF Power Combining Transmitter Spurious Signal Suppression Isolation between inputs Isolation output to input Control / Monitoring Functions: Antenna VSWR alarm thresholds setting and status reporting Internal Performance Monitoring Interfacing with BTSE LED Display: Antenna VSWR alarms Tuning alarms Presence of DC Lightning Protection at the RF output connector RF Power Combining / Tuning Modes The low loss power addition is carried out by combining the outputs of TNFs inside the FICOM. These TNFs are remotely tuned to the channel frequency of the corresponding carrier. The minimum number of inputs to be combined is 2. It is possible to combine a maximum number of 8 inputs by adding "expansion modules" to the "base module". A TNF is first coarse tuned to the desired channel. If RF power is supplied to the TNF it automatically performs a fine tuning to ensure the best RF behavior. With this automatic tuning process, the drift of the passband filter center frequency is compensated. Therefore, the FICOM can only be used with baseband frequency hopping, as retuning of the TNF frequency requires up to 5 seconds. But for a large number of carriers (6 and higher), baseband frequency hopping has only a negligible disadvantage compared to synthesizer frequency hopping. FICOM Modularity The FICOM functions are carried out by two types of modules: Base module 2:1 Expansion module 2:1 The number of base modules is equal to the number of cells the FICOM has to support because at least one base module is needed per cell. The base module is able to combine 2 carriers to one antenna. For more than 2 carriers per cell the base module can be expanded by expansion module(s). An expansion module can combine additional up to 2 carriers to the same antenna. Altogether one base module can be expanded by 3 expansion modules, which means 8 carriers belonging to the same cell can be connected to the same antenna. The different modules are connected together by a special RF connection cable. The base module has an output for the completely combined signal (antenna output with

HPDU
The HPDU (High Power Duplexer) combines the TX and the RX paths into one antenna, in order to minimize the number of antennas when a FICOM is used. The HPDU contains a duplex filter for the transmit frequency band and for the receive frequency band, but no LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) in the RX path. If the TMA is used together with a HPDU, the BIAS-T (DUBIAS) for powering and signalling of the TMA is required. For the main RX path, one HPDU per cell is installed. For diversity operation, a second receive path has to be installed. In one base or extension rack/shelter, one or two HPDUs can be installed and a maximum of 8 carriers can be connected to one HPDU. Fig. 4.19 shows the standard configuration for one cell using HPDU, FICOM and DIAMCO for up to 8 carriers in one rack/shelter.

Diplexer
The diplexer gives the possibility to use one antenna feeder cable for both GSM 850 with GSM 1900 and GSM 900 with GSM 1800 frequencies. One diplexer is needed to combine the two different frequencies at the BTS side and the other one to separate the frequencies near the antennas. The diplexer offers the possibility to reduce the number of antenna feeder cables in all cases where GSM 900 and GSM 1800, GSM 1900 or GSM 850 and GSM 1900 feeder cables have to be installed in parallel. For example: An existing GSM 900 network will be extended by a GSM 1800 or GSM 1900 network to implement a dual band network.

5 FCC Issues (for U.S. Market only)


In this chapter you find the maximum output power at the antenna connector of the BTS. These values are only relevant for the U.S. market. Revised FCC Certification for ECU / FlexCU 850 For ECUs/FlexCUs with 869.2 and 893.8 MHz frequencies, in order to fulfil the FCC requirements in the USA, the maximum transmitting power of the corner frequencies of the GSM 850 band (channel numbers 128 and 251, and 869.2 MHz and 893.8 MHz respectively) is decreased for all carrier units available for the U.S. market. This feature is realized per software. The BTS evaluates the mobile country code (MCC) provided by the BSC via the attribute cellGlobalIdentity. If the MCC indicates USA, the BTS reduces the output power of the corner frequencies dependent on the hardware type of the carrier unit. The following table represents the maximum RF output power values for GMSK and 8PSK modulation.
