2.2 BS8800 GU360 Introduction

2.2.1 Overall Appearance

The BS8800 cabinet includes the primary cabinet and the auxiliarycabinet. The primary cabinet supports 36 GSM carriers. Whenthe number of carriers at a site exceeds 36, the capacity can beexpanded by adding secondary cabinet, and each auxiliary cabinetalso supports 36 GSM carriers.

Figure 3 shows the appearance of BS8800 cabinet.

FIGURE 3 BS8800 APPEARENCE

1. Auxiliary cabinet 2. Primary cabinet


BS8800 is one of multi-carrier, multi-mode indoor macro base sta-tion in ZXSDR BTS series. By applying advanced MicroTCA plat-form and SDR technology, BS8800 can support GPRS/EDGE/En-hanced EDGE/UMTS/HSPA and HSPA+ simultaneously. Its mainadvantage is that it can be configured to a GERAN BTS, or a UTRANNode B, or a G/W dual-mode BTS by software reconfiguration only.

BS8800 develops a new solution for GSM/UMTS integrated net-work and network evolution. It can be applied in dense urban,urban, suburban, rural area, highway or indoor environment; alsoit can fully meet operators requirements in different stages andscenarios. In addition, BS8800 can decrease the mobile networkconstruction and operation cost.



Smooth Evolution BS8800 software and hardware support full-feature EDGE andUMTS/HSPA and satisfy operatorsfuture needs for data service.In the future evolution to EDGE+ and HSPA+, only softwareupgrade is needed.

The MicroTCA architecture supports up to 10Gbps data through-put. It enables BS8800 to be also capable for LTE application.

Easy Installation BS8800 Primary cabinet dimension: 950mm * 600mm * 450mm(H*W*D), auxiliary cabinet dimension: 700mm * 600mm *450mm (H*W*D). Front wiring design enables against wallinstallation and conveniently maintenance.

Evolution to IPRAN

BS8800 is developed based on the ZTE unified MicroTCA platform.Abis/Iub interfaces based on GE/FE or IPoverE1 are provided. IPRAN can be conveniently achieved.

Smooth Expansion Each BS8800 dual-mode Radio Unit has the capability to support 6GSM TRX or 3 UMTS carriers. If GSM and UMTS are configured atthe same time, each radio unit supports 3 GSM TRX plus 1 UMTScarrier or 2 GSM TRX plus 2 UMTS carrier.

Low PowerConsumption

BS8800 apply Doherty, DPD and MCPA technologies to power am-plifier module which improve PA efficiency.

With S666 GSM, BS8800 power consumption is 735W, and S222UMTS configuration, BS8800 power consumption is 600W lessthan half of conventional macro base station.

Rich Interfaces BS8800 provides E1/T1, STM-1 and GE/FE interfaces for Abis/Iubconnection and supports various transmission networking such asSDH network, IP networking or splitting transmission.

Flexible Dual-mode Networking

BS8800 meets GSM/UMTS dual mode networking requirementsin different scenarios. BS8800 supports GSM900+GSM1800 dualband networking and zero TCO from 2G to 3G smooth evolution,which GSM900+UMTS900 can be supported with correspond soft-ware configuration. BS8800 also supports only GSM in the initialstage; UMTS 2100M can be supported by adding RU modules. Inthis way, GSM/UMTS co-existence can be realized perfectly.

Network upgrade from GSM900 to GSM900+GSM1800

BS8800 supports 6 RU modules. Supposed that there are3 RU-900 modules in one cabinet originally, by adding 3RU-1800, GSM900+GSM1800 can be supported and thecapacity is GSM900 S666 plus GSM1800 S666 in one cabinet.

Network upgrade from GSM900 to GSM900+UMTS2100

In network evolution, based on the existing GSM900 network,UMTS2100 network can be constructed by adding RU-2100modules and corresponding baseband resource. This is themost economic 2G to 3G evolution step in which main controlmodule, transmission module and power are shared.

Network upgrade from GSM900/1800 to GSM900/1800+UMT-S900/1800

BS8800 can support SDR, designed to support UMTS, GSMor G/U with different software configuration in the same fre-quency range. So in this network evolution, only need addUMTS baseband process -board.



2.2.3 Cabinet Layout

BS8900 is one of multi-carrier, multi-mode outdoor macro basestation in ZXSDR BTS series. By applying advanced MicroTCAplatform and SDR technology, BS8900 can directly supportGPRS/EDGE/Enhanced EDGE/UMTS/HSPA and HSPA+ simultane-ously. Its main advantage is that can be configured to a GERANBTS, or a UTRAN Node B, or a G/W dual-mode BTS by softwarereconfiguration only and no required to add any hardware.

BS8900 develops a new solution for GSM/UMTS integrated net-work and network evolution. It not only can be applied in dense ur-ban, urban, suburban, rural area, highway in outdoor environmentand can fully meet operators requirements in different stages andscenarios, but also decreases the mobile network construction andoperation cost.

Smooth Evolution BS8900 software and hardware support full-feature EDGE andUMTS/HSPA and satisfy operatorsfuture needs for data service.In the future evolution to EDGE+ and HSPA+, only softwareupgrade is needed.

The MicroTCA architecture supports up to 10Gbps data through-put. It enables BS8900 to be also capable for LTE application.

Easy Installation BS8900 is developed based on the ZTE unified MicroTCA platform.Abis/Iub interfaces based on GE/FE or IPoverE1 are provided. IPRAN can be conveniently achieved.



Evolution to IPRAN

BS8800 is developed based on the ZTE unified MicroTCA platform.Abis/Iub interfaces based on GE/FE or IPoverE1 are provided. IPRAN can be conveniently achieved.

Smooth Expansion Each BS8900 dual-mode Radio Unit has the capability to support 6GSM TRX or 3 UMTS carriers. If GSM and UMTS are configured atthe same time, each radio unit supports 3 GSM TRX plus 1 UMTScarrier, or 2 GSM TRX plus 2 UMTS carriers as an example.


BS8900 apply Doherty, DPD and MCPA technologies to power am-plifier module which improve PA efficiency.

With S666 GSM, BS8900 mean power consumption is less than735W, and S222 UMTS configuration, BS8900 mean power con-sumption is less than 740W only one third of conventional macrobase station.

Rich Interfaces BS8900 provides E1/T1, STM-1 and GE/FE interfaces for Abis/Iubconnection and supports various transmission networking such asSDH network, IP networking or splitting transmission.


BS8900 meets GSM/UMTS hybrid networking requirements in dif-ferent scenarios. BS8900 supports GSM900+GSM1800 hybrid net-working and zero TCO from 2G to 3G smooth evolution. It can beconfigured only to support GSM in the initial stage; UMTS 2100Mcan be supported by adding RU modules. In this way, GSM/UMTSco-existence can be realized perfectly. Also GSM900+UMTS900can be supported with correspond software configuration.


BS8900 supports 6 RU modules. Supposed that there are3 RU-900 modules in one cabinet originally, by adding 3RU-1800, GSM900+GSM1800 can be supported and thecapacity is GSM900 S666 plus GSM1800 S666 in one cabinet.


In network evolution, based on the existing GSM900 network,UMTS2100 network can be constructed by adding RU-2100modules and corresponding baseband resource. This is themost economic 2G to 3G evolution step in which main controlmodule, transmission module and power are shared.

Network upgrade from GSM900/1800 to GSM900/1800+UMT-S900/1800

BS8900 can support SDR, designed to support UMTS, GSMor G/U with different software configuration in the same fre-quency range. So in this network evolution, only need addUMTS baseband process -board.

2.4 BS8906 G060 Introduction

2.4.1 Physical Appearance

BS8906 appearance is shown in Figure 21.



FIGURE 21 BS8906 PHYSICAL APPEARANCE


BS8906 is one of multi-carrier, multi-mode outdoor micro basestation in ZXSDR BTS series. By applying advanced MicroTCA plat-form and SDR technology, BS8906 can support GPRS/ EDGE/ En-hanced EDGE and UMTS/ HSPA /HSPA+ simultaneously by soft-ware upgrade. BS8906 takes full consideration of the operatorsdemands and has powerful advantages.

Smooth Evolution Generic BS platform

The BBU adopts a platform based on the future-proof B3G or4G design. Therefore, different standard systems can exist inone hardware platform or in one BS. This platform can helpoperators simplify operation management and combine manyBSs that are required to be invested into one multi-mode BS.Besides, the platform helps the operators flexibly select theevolution trend of the future network and allow the terminalusers experience network transparency and smooth evolutionas well.

Adopts the advanced Micro Telecom Computing Architecture(MicroTCA)

The MicroTCA adopts the standard template, compact designand block architecture, which makes the operation more effec-tive and of higher performance-price ratio.

Compact Design A single BTS can support 6 TRX for GSM.



High integration, small size and light weight, easy for trans-portation and installation, thus saving labor cost and engineer-ing cost.

Maintenance at front and leading-out at the bottom. All fansand lightning modules can be removed on site.

Flexible installation modes: The whole system supportsground-mounted, post-mounted and wall-mounted installationmodes.

High Reliability Capability against terrible outdoor environments. It helps op-erators deploy networks flexibly.

Chapter4 SDR PrinciplesAfter you have completed this chapter, you will know:

>> Hardware Architecture

>> Software Architecture

>> Signal Flow

>> Interface and Protocol

4.1 Hardware Architecture

According to the system logic structure, SDR is divided into twoparts:

Base Band Unit (BBU)

Radio Unit (RU)

BBU and RU are connected by optical fiber, transferring basebandIQ data and OAM signaling. Figure 41 shows the system structureof SDR.

FIGURE 41 BS8800 SYSTEM STRUCTURE

4.2 Software Architecture

The software system of SDR can be divided into operating supportlayer and application layer, as shown in Figure 42.



FIGURE 42 SDR SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

The operating support layer provides the functions of OSS, OAM,DBS, BRS, BRACS, and SCS to serve to different BTS mode.

OAM (Operating And Maintenance) is to provide the configura-tion, alarm and performance measurement function.

DBS (Data Base Sub-system) is the database system.

BRS (Barrier Sub-system) is for protocol stack processing.

BRACS (Barrier Access Control Sub-system) is to control theaccess to bear layer.

SCS (System Control Sub-system) is to control the power sup-plying and active/standby switching.

OSS (Operation Support Sub-system) is the support layer in thisentire framework, which is a hardware irrespective platform forrunning software and provides basic functions like scheduling,timer, memory management, communication, sequencing control,monitoring, alarming and logging.

BSP (Board Support Package) supports the information routing tothe GSM and public parts in the application layer.

VxWorks is the operation platform communication to the hardwarecomponents.


Chapter 4 SDR Principles

4.3 Signal Flow

4.3.1 System Service Signal Flow

Figure 43 shows the service data flow.

FIGURE 43 SERVICE DATA FLOW

Downlink direction: The service data from BSC/RNC entersBBU through CC or SA. Abis/Iub interface IP protocol termi-nation and NAT conversion are implemented at CC. The datais then converted to internal IP datagram and transmitted tobaseband board (UBPG/BPC) through the Gigabit Ethernet(GE). The baseband board performs modulation, multiplexing,and rate adaptation for the internal IP datagram, and trans-mits it to the IQ switching unit of FS. Then, on the IQ switchingunit of FS, de-multiplexing, interleaving, frame forming, andparallel-serial conversion are implemented. Finally, the inter-nal IP datagram is distributed to RU through the baseband-RFinterface (optical interface).

Note:

If Abis/Iub interface adopts E1/T1 interface, then signal trans-ferring and protection are implemented through the SA board.If Abis/Iub interface adopts GE interface, then connect with theCC board directly.

Uplink direction: The IQ switching unit of FS receives base-band signals from RU, performs de-multiplexing for them, andthen transmits them to baseband board through high-speedserial signals. The baseband board then performs demodula-tion for them to get the original service signals. These signalsare packaged into Ethernet frames, transmitted to the switch-ing center through GE, and processed according to Abis/Iubinterface transmission protocols on the CC board. Finally, theyare transmitted to BSC/RNC through E1/T1/GE.



4.3.2 System Control Signal Flow

The CC board implements the main control function. The controlsignal is distributed to all other boards through CC board. Figure44 shows the control signal flow.

FIGURE 44 CONTROL SIGNAL FLOW

4.3.3 System Clock Signal Flow

The system clock is distributed to all other boards through CCboard, and is distributed to RU through the optical interface. Figure45 shows the clock distribution.

FIGURE 45 CLOCK DISTRIBUTION

In Figure 45, the clock reference of CC board is from GPS network.The clock reference of CC board can be: GPS output clock refer-ence, Abis/Iub E1/T1 synchronous upper-level clock, or the inputBITS reference clock of CC's front panel. Select different clocksources according to specific application scenarios.
