Use a standard browser to communicate with remotely or locally installed Fusion Wideband systems running AdminBrowser.
If a fault or warning condition is reported, the AdminBrowser graphical user interface indicates the problem on your standard PC browser.
The Main Hub queries status of each Expansion Hub and each RAU and compares it to previously stored status.
If a fault is detected, LEDs on the front panel turn red.
The Expansion Hub queries the status of each RAU and compares it to the previously stored status.
If a fault is detected, LEDs on the front panel turn red.
Each RAU passes its status to the Hub.
If a fault is detected, the Alarm LED is red. If no fault is detected, the LED is green.
AdminBrowser OA&M software runs on the Fusion Wideband Main Hub microprocessor and communicates to its downstream Expansion Hubs and associated RAUs. Using AdminBrowser, you can perform the following from any standard web browser (such as Internet Explorer) running on your PC/laptop system:
configure a newly installed system
change system parameters
perform an end-to-end system test
query system status.
Refer to the AdminBrowser User
Manual (D-620607-0-20) for information about installing and
using the AdminBrowser software.

System Monitoring and Reporting

Each Fusion Wideband Main Hub in the system constantly monitors itself, its Expansion Hubs, and their downstream RAUs for internal fault and warning conditions. The results of this monitoring are stored in memory and compared against new results.

When a Main or Expansion Hub detects a change in status, it reports a Faults are also indicated locally by red STATUS LEDs. Both faults and warnings are reported to the AdminBrowser software and displayed on a PC/laptop connected to the Main Hub’s RJ-45 port. Passive antennas connected to the RAUs are not monitored automatically (perform a System Test to retrieve status information about antennas).
Using AdminBrowser, you can install a ne
w system or new components, change system parameters, and query system status. Figure 4 illustrates how the system reports its status to AdminBrowser.

Using Alarm Contacts

You can connect the DB-9 female connector on the rear panel of the Fusion Wideband Main Hub to a local BTS or to a daisy-chained series of Fusion and/or FlexWave Focus systems.
When you connect FlexWave Focus or a
BTS to the Fusion Wideband, the Fusion Wideband Main Hub outputs the alarms (alarm source), and then FlexWave Focus or the BTS receives the alarms (alarm sense). This is described in “Alarm Source” on page 157

Fusion Wideband Main Hub
Downlink Path: The Main Hub receives up to 3 individual (Band1, 2, or 3) downlink RF signals from a base station, repeater, or FlexWave Focus system using 50 Ohm coaxial cable. It converts the signals to IF then to optical and sends them to up to four Expansion Hubs using fiber optic cable.
The Main Hub also sends OA&M communication to the Expansion Hubs using the fiber optic cable. The Expansion Hubs, in turn, communicate the OA&M information to the RAUs using CATV cable.
Uplink Path: The Main Hub receives uplink optical signals from up to four Expansion Hubs using fiber optic cables. It converts the signals to IF then to RF and sends them to the respective Band1, 2, or 3 base station, repeater, or FlexWave Focus system using 50 Ohm coaxial cable.
The Main Hub also receives status information from the Expansion Hubs and all RAUs using the fiber optic cable.

Fusion Wideband Main Hub Front Panel

Uplink/Downlink Optical-Fiber Ports

The uplink/downlink optical-fiber ports transmit and receive optical signals between the Main Hub and up to four Expansion Hubs using industry-standard SMF or MMF cable. There are four fiber ports on the front panel of the Main Hub—one port per Expansion Hub. Each optical-fiber port has two female SC/APC connectors:

when using either single-mode or multi-mode fiber. Additionally, it is critical to system performance that only SC/APC fiber connectors are used throughout the fiber network, including fiber distribution panels.

Main Hub LED Indicators

The unit’s front panel LEDs indicate faults and commanded or fault lockouts. The LEDs do not indicate warnings or whether the system test has been performed. Use the LEDs to provide basic information only, or as a backup when you are not using AdminBrowser.
Upon power up, the Main Hub goes through a 20-second test to check the time, the LEDs blink through the states shown in Table 31 on page 34, letting you visually verify
hat the LED lamps and the firmware are functioning properly. Upon
t the LEDs stay in one of the first two states shown in Table 31 on page 34.
The Main Hub automatically sends the
program
bands command to all connected RAUs. A mismatched band causes a fault message to be displayed in AdminBrowser and places the RAU in a disabled condition.

completion of initialization,
NOTE: Refer to “Troubleshooting Using LEDs” on page 185 for troubleshooting using the LEDs.

Remote Access Unit

OVERVIEW

The Remote Access Unit (RAU) is an active transceiver that connects to an Expansion Hub using industry-standard CATV cable, which delivers RF signals, configuration information, and electrical power to the RAU.
RAUs pass converted IF to RF (Downlink) and converted RF to
IF (Uplink) signals between an Expansion Hub and an attached passive antenna, where the signals are transmitted to wireless devices as shown in Figure 13. Figure 14 shows the RAU block diagram.
Downlink Path: The RAU receives downlink IF signals from a Fusion Wideband Hub using 75 Ohm CATV cable. It converts the signals to RF and sends them to a passive RF antenna using 50 Ohm coaxial cable. Also, the RAU receives configuration information from the Fusion Wideband Hub using the 75 Ohm CATV cable.

The RAU receives 54VDC power from the Fusion Wideband Hub port through the 75 Ohm CATV cable center pin.

Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution

DESIGN OVERVIEW

Designing a Fusion Wideband solution is a matter of determining coverage and capacity needs. This requires the following steps:
1 Determine the wireless service provider’s requirements;
refer to “Do
wnlink RSSI
Design Goal” on page 64.
The following information is typical
ly provided by the service provider:
Frequency (for example, 1900 MHz)
Band (for example, “A-F” band in
the PCS spectrum)
Protocol (for example, CDMA, GSM, 1xRTT, GPRS, and so on)
Number of
sectors and peak capacity per sector (translates to the number of RF carriers
that the system will have to transmit)
Downlink RSSI design goal (RSSI, received si
gnal strength at the wireless handset, for
example, –85 dBm)
The design goal is always a stronger signa
l than the mobile phone needs. It includes
inherent factors which affect performance.
RF source (Base Station or bidirectional amp
or repeater), type of equipment if
lifier
possible.
2 Determin
e the downlink Power Per Carrier from the RF source through the DAS; refer
to “Maximum Output Power Per Carrier” on page 65.
The maximum Power Per Carrier is a
function
of modulation type, the number of RF carriers, signal quality issues, regulatory emissions requirements, and Fusion Wideband’s RF performance. Power Per Carrier decreases as the number of carriers increases.
3 Develop an RF link budget; refer to “Est
imating RF Coverage” on page 83.
Knowing both the Power Per Carrier and RSSI design goal, you can develop an RF downlink link
budget which estimates the allowable path loss from a RAU’s antenna to the wireless
handset.
allowable path loss = Power Per Carrier
Satisfactory performance can be expe
+ antenna gain – design goal
cted as long as path loss is below this level.

Design Overview
4 Determine the in-building environment; refer to “Estimating RF Coverage” on page 83.
Determine which areas of the building requir
e coverage (entire building, public areas,
parking levels, and so on).
Ob
tain floor plans to determine floor space in a b
uilding and the wall layout of the proposed areas to be covered. Floor plans are also useful when you are selecting antenna locations.
If possibl
e, determine the building’s construction materials (sheetrock, metal, concrete,
and so on).
Determine the type of environment: open layout (for example, a convention center) dense, close mixed use (for example, an office building with hard wall offices
5 Determine the appropriate estimated path
walls (for example, a hospital)
and cubicles).
loss slope that corresponds to the type of building and its layout, and estimate the coverage distance for each RAU; refer to
“Estimating RF Coverage” on page 83.
Use the Path Loss Slope (PLS), which gives a value to the RF propagation cha
racteristics within the building, to convert the RF link budget into an estimate of the coverage distance per antenna. This helps establish the quantities of Fusion Wideband equipment you need. The actual path loss slope that corresponds to the specific RF environment inside the building can also be determined empirically by performing an RF site-survey of the building. This involves transmitting a calibrated tone for a fixed antenna and making measurements with a mobile antenna throughout the area surrounding the transmitter.
6 Determine the items required to connec
t to the Base Station; refer to “Connecting a
Main Hub to a Base Station” on page 101.
Once you know the quantities of Fusion Wideband
equipment to be used, you can determine the accessories (combiners/dividers, surge suppressors, repeaters, attenuators, circulators, and so on.) required to connect the system to the Base Station.
c
The individual elements that must be
onsidered in designing a Fusion Wideband solution are
explained in the following sections.

Customer Portal” on page 230.

Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution

DOWNLINK RSSI DESIGN GOAL

Wireless service providers typically provide a minimum downlink signal level and an associated confidence factor when specifying coverage requirements. These two figures of merit are a function of wireless handset sensitivity and margins for fading and body loss. Wireless handset sensitivity is the weakest signal that the handset can process reliably and is a combination of the thermal noise in the channel, noise figure of the handset receiver front end and minimum required SNR. Fade margins for multipath fading (fast or small-scale) and log-normal shadow fading (slow or large-scale) are determined by the desired confidence factor, and other factors. Downlink Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) design goal calculations for the GSM protocol are shown below for a 95% area coverage confidence factor.

Maximum Output Power Per Carrier

MAXIMUM OUTPUT POWER PER CARRIER
The following tables show the recommended maximum Power Per Carrie r ou t of t he R AU 50 Ohm Type-N connector for different frequencies, protocols, and numbers of carriers. These maximum levels are dictated by RF signal quality and regulatory emissions issues. In general, as the number of RF carrier increases, the maximum Power Per Carrier decreases. If these levels are exceeded, signal quality will be degraded and/or regulator requirements will be violated. The maximum input power to the Hub is determined by subtracting the system gain from the maximum output power of the RAU. System gain is software selectable from 0 dB to 15 dB in 1 dB steps. Additionally, both the uplink and downlink gain of each RAU can be attenuated 0 or 10 dB.
When connecting a Hub to a Base Station or repeater, attenuation on
the downlink is typically
required to avoid exceeding Fusion Wideband’s maximum output power recommendations.
CAUTION! Exceeding the maximum input power may cause permanent damage to the Hub. Do not exceed
the maximum composite input power of 1W (+30 dBm) to the Hub at any time.
d
NOTE: These specifications are for
ownlink power at the RAU output (excluding antenna).

Designing for Capacity Growth

Fusion Wideband systems are deployed to enhance in-building coverage and/or to off-load capacity from a macro cell site. In many instances, subscriber usage increases with time and the wireless provider responds by increasing the load on the installed Fusion Wideband system. For example, the initial deployment might only require two RF carriers, but four RF carriers may be needed in the future based on capacity growth forecasts. There are two options for dealing with capacity growth needs:
esign the initial coverage with a maximum Power Per Carrier for
1 D
four RF carriers. This will
likely result in additional RAUs.
2 Design the initial coverage for two RF carriers, but reserve RAU ports on the Hub for future
use. The
se ports can be used to fill potential coverage holes once the Power Per Carrier is
lowered to accommodate the two additional carriers.

Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution

SYSTEM GAIN

The system gain of the Fusion Wideband defaults to 0 dB or can be set up to 15 dB in 1 dB increments. In addition, uplink and downlink gains of each RAU can be independently attenuated by 0 or 10 dB using AdminBrowser.
The recommended maximum lengths of CATV cable are as follows:
For RG-59
For RG-6 c
For RG-11
cable 130 meters for CommScope PN 2065V
able 140 meters for CommScope PN 2279V
cable 235 meters for CommScope PN 2293K.
If the maximum distance is not required, then copper-clad over steel c be use to reduce cable costs.
If the CATV cable is longer than the recommended distance per cab
le type, the gain of the system
will decrease, as shown in Table 69.
Table 69.

Estimating RF Coverage

ESTIMATING RF COVERAGE
The maximum output Power Per Carrier (based on the number and type of RF carriers being trans mitted) and the minimum acceptable received power at the wirele ss devi ce (that is, the RSSI design goal) essentially establish the RF downlink budget and, consequently, the maximum Allowable Path Loss (APL) between the RAU’s antenna and the wireless device. Since in-building systems, such as the Fusion Wideband, are generally downlink-limited, this approach is applicable in the majority of deployments.

n this example, a design goal of –85 dBm is used. Suppose 3 dBi omni-directional antennas are used in the design. Then, the maximum RF propagation loss should be no more than 97.0 dB (9.0 dBm + 3 dBi + 85 dBm) over 95% of the area being covered. It is important to note that a design goal such as –85 dBm is usually derived taking into
account multipath fading and log-normal shadowing characteristics. Thus, this design goal will only be met “on average” over 95% of the area being covered. At any given point, a fade may bring the signal level underneath the design goal.
Note that this method of cal
culating a link budget is only for the downlink path. For information to calculate link budgets for both the downlink and uplink paths, refer to “Link
Budget Analysis” on page 90.

hard wall offices and 20% cubicles, a
t 1920 MHz, has an approximate path loss slope (PLS) of
38.1. Given the RF link budget of 97.0 dB, the distance of coverage from each RAU will be 30.2 meters (99 ft). This corresponds to a coverage area of 2,868 sq. meters (30,854 sq. ft.) per RAU (refer to “Equation 2—Path Loss Equation” on page 84 for details on path loss estimation). For this case we assumed a circular radiation pattern, though the

LINK BUDGET ANALYSIS

A link budget is a methodical way to account for the gains and losses in an RF system so that the quality of coverage can be predicted. The end result can often b e sta ted as a “ des ign g oal ” in w hich the coverage is determined by the maximum distance from each RAU before the signal strength falls beneath that goal.
One key feature of the link budget is the maximum Power Per Carrier explained in “Maximum
Output Power Per Carrier” on page 65.
CAUTION! While the maximum Power Per Carrier is important as far as emissions and signal quality
requirements are concerned, it is critical that the maximum signal into the Main Hub never exceed 1W (+30 dBm). Composite power levels above this limit could cause permanent damage to the Main Hub.

Elements of a Link Budget for Narrowband Standards

The link budget represents a typical calculation that might be used to determine how much path loss can be afforded in a Fusion Wideband design. This link budget analyzes both the downlink and uplink paths. For most configurations, the downlink requires lower path loss and is therefore the limiting factor in the system design. It is for this reason that a predetermined “design goal” for the downlink is sufficient to predict coverage distance.
ccessing the TE
The link budget is organized in a simple
manner: the transmitted power is calculated, the airlink losses due to fading and body loss are summed, and the receiver sensitivity (minimum level a signal can be received for acceptable call quality) is calculated. The maximum allowable path loss (in dB) is the difference between the transmitted power, less the airlink losses, and the receiver sensitivity. From the path loss, the maximum coverage distance can be estimated using the path loss formula presented in “Equation 2—Path Loss Equation” on page 84.
Table 81 on page 91 provides link budget considerations for narrowband systems.

BTS Noise Figure This is the effective noise floor of
the Base Station input (usually Base Station sensitivity is this effective
noise floor plus a certain C/I ratio).
Fusion Wideband Noise Figure
This is Fusion Wideband’s uplink noise figure, which varies depending on the number of Expansion Hubs and RAUs, and
the frequen
cy band. Fusion Wideband’s uplink noise figure is specified for a 1-1-8 configuration. Thus, the noise figure for a Fusion Wideband system (or multiple systems whose uplink ports are power combined) is NF(1-1-8) + 10*log(# of Expansion Hubs). This represents an upper-bound because the noise figure is lower if any of the Expansion Hub’s RAU ports are not used.

This margin allows for a certain level of
fading due to multipath interference. On the inside of buildings there is often one or more fairly strong signals and many weaker signals arriving from reflections and diffraction. Signals arriving from multiple paths add constructively or destructively. This margin accounts for the possibility of destructive multipath interference. In RF site surveys the effects of multipath fading are typically not accounted for because such fading is averaged out over power level samples taken over many locations.
This margin adds an allowance for RF shadowing
due to objects obstructing the direct path between the mobile equipment and the RAU. In RF site surveys, the effects of shadowing are partially accounted for since it is characterized by relatively slow changes in power level.
