1 Introd uction
The General Product Information provides general information on unconfigured radio base stations. Refer to the RBS 884 Site Engineering Manual for descriptions of the available working ba se station configurations and for information on RBS interfaces (for instance, power, transmission, and antennas).
2 Features
The RBS 884 Series is a series of products in the CMS 8800 f ami ly. The products in the RBS 884 Series are f ully featured modular RBSs for both the analog AMPS EIA 553 and the digital D-AMPS EIA I S 136 systems (Advanced M obile Phone System Electronics Industry Association 553 system and Digital American M obile Phone System Electronics Industry Association Interim Standard 136 system).
General Product Information
A base station in the RBS 884 Series can s upport one, two, or three cells. A cell is a defined area covered by one antenna system, and each cell has one control channel for digital or one for analog, or both. There is one cell at an omni site, and one to three cells at a sectorized site.
The RBS 884 Series utilizes multi-mode, multi-functional transceivers (TRXs). The same hardware TRX module can be used for analog and digital voice, contr ol and monitoring purposes.
The hot repair capability allows replacement of defective units when power is still applied.
The RBS 884 Series is designed for remote control monitoring allowing control and fine tuning of all functions and parameters, such as power output, frequencies, and switching of redundant units from the M SC.
A Radio Frequency Test Loop (RFTL) is an optional feature that enables precise output power settings, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) alarm, and Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) test measurements.
The device software is stored in non-volatile memory within the RBS, and the control part software is downloaded f rom the MSC, which ensures a short time to service at power-up.

The receive antenna signal input is first passed through a Receiver Bandpass filter (RXB P). It is then fed to the Multicoupler A (MC A) and B (MC B) units, wh er e the signal is amplified to c o mpensate for Power Splitter (PSP) losses. The multicouplers also receive signals from the Radio Frequency Test Loop (RFTL) unit so that the receive path can be tested. Multicoupler outputs are fed to the PSPs, which distribute the signals to the TRXs through the TCB backplane. Each TRX receives both A- and B-branch receive signals and demodulate the signals to baseband.
TRX transmit outputs are connected to the combiners where they are combined into one signal. This signal is directed to the MCPA, Transmitter Bandpass ( TXBP) filter, and Measurement C oupler Unit (MCU), after which it is output to the antenna. The MCU acts as an interface to the Radio Frequency Test Loop (RFTL), which performs various tests on the RF signals, such as measuring forward and reflected power.

The STC board converts the signal format and sends the signal to the Exchange Terminal Circuit (ETC).
The ETC inserts the control signal into a time slot on the PCM (T1) link to the Control Radio Interfac e (CRI).
The control signal in the time slot is extracted by the Exchange Terminal Board (ETB) and sent to the Signaling Terminal Regional (STR).
The STR converts the information back to processor format and outputs it on the Extension Module Regional Processor Bus (EMRPB).
The EMRPB and the Extension Module Regional Processor with Speech Bus (EMRPS) boards a re connected to the EMRPB.

3.4.1 Network Synchronization
Network Synchronization is p rovided by the ETB with buffers and the NTSW clock for error-free transmission of data to and from the MSC. The clock is locked to the reference signal provided from the MSC. The signal is

superimposed on the traffic link connecting the RBS to the MSC. Using this signal, the ETB creates a synchronization clock with a f requency of 8 kHz.
3.4.2 Carrier Frequency Synchronization
Carrier Frequency Synchronization is provided by the NTSW and TIM. The 8kHzclockisscaleddownto4kHzbytheNTSWintoaMasterReference (MR) signal (see Figure 3-10 on page 3-15). The MR is used by the TIM to generate a 64 kHz Carrier Frequency Reference (CFR) that is distributed to the TRXs v ia the RTTs and the C-Links.
Carrier Frequency Stabilization is handled by the TIM and holdover is at least 72 hours after a loss of the synchronization signal on the network. To obtain carrier frequency accuracy, the reference signal must be traceable to a source of Stratum 2 level or better.
3.4.3 Air Frame Synchronization
Air Frame Synchronization phase aligns all air frames transmitted from the RBS. The TIM provides the synchronization that is distributed to each TRX. The DCON board provides daisy-chain connections between TCBs.
3.5 CRI and PCM Link Configuration (T1)
The Extension Module Regional Processor (EMRP) bus is the lo cal comunication link between the regional processors (RPs) and the Signal Terminal Regional (STR). The STR and the Signal Terminal Central (STC) in the MSC make up the control link between any RP and the central processor (CP).
The CRI can be configured with two EMRP buses, A and B, to facilitate multiple PCM links. Up to four (4) PCM (T1) links can be connected to three CRIs. Each CRI-CRI connection can cascade in both directions to allow time slots to be routed f rom any incom ing PCM (T 1) to any of the three sectors.
Figure 3-12 on page 3-18 shows the 3x15 configuration. The first PCM (T1) link is connected to ETB-1 in CRI-a. Eight time s lots are
used in Sector A and the remaining sixteen time s lots are routed to Sector B and Sector C. Eight tim e slots are routed from ETB-3 in CRI-a to ETB-2 in CRI-b. Also, eight time slots are routed from ETB-2 in CRI-a to ETB-2 in CRI-c. As a result, eight time slots are available in each sector.
The second PCM (T1) link is connected to ETB-1 in CRI-b. Eight time slots are used in Sector B and the remaining sixteen time slots are routed to Sector A and Sector C. Eight time slots are routed from ETB-2 in CRI-b to ETB-3 in CRI-a. Al so, eight time slots are routed from ETB-3 in CRI-b to ETB-3 in CRI-c. It should be noted that this configuration re-routes the time slots from ETB-3 in CRI-b back to ETB-3 in CRI-a on the same physical link as
