2Features
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 RBS 884 Series includes product lines for macro and micro cells. See
Figure 2-1 on page 2-4.
Note:The maximum number of carriers for each sector stated is the

switch and the transceivers (TRXs) in the base station. The switch in the base
station ensures the speech signals from the M SC are connected to the correct
TRX. The TRXs generate RF that is emitted by the base station antenna to

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 signals are fed to MCUs, MC-A, and MC-B, that amplify the signal to

•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

3.3.2Speech Signa ling
Speech signaling for RBS equipment is as follows:
•A speech or data signal from the Public Telephone Switching
•A digital call is:
–The EMRP controls equipment i n the CRI cabinet including the
Node Clock Time Switch (NTSW) and ETB boards
–The EMRPS is an EMRP with extended processor power and
a speech bus interface. It is connected to both the EMRP bus
and the TSW speech bus and controls equipment in the TCB
and ANPC. These boards also facilitate communication with
the MSC’s Man-Machine Interface (MMI) by providing a V.24
interface for a teletype or Typewriter (TW) peripheral.
Network (PSTN) is received by the gr oup switch (GS ) at the MSC
–Routed to the Transcoder and Rate Adaptation Board (TRAB)
–Converted into compressed format used in the air interface either
with Algebraic Code Excited Linear Prediction (ACELP) or
Vector Sum Excited Linear Prediction (VSELP)
–Combined with two other voice paths which share same
frequency
–Routed to the correct Exchange Terminal Circuit (ETC)
•The signal is sent over a T1 line to the Control and Radio Interface
(CRI) where it is:
–Routed to an Exchange Terminal Board (ETB)
–Routed through the Time Switch (TSW)
–Routed to a Radio Transceiver Terminal (RTT), which is an
interface to a transceiver (TRX) in the Transceiver Cabinet
(TCB) via a Communication Link (C-link)
•In the TCB the signal is passed through a Transceiver (TRX) where
it is :
–Converted to RF
–Sent to the Hybrid Combiner (HCC)
•In the HCC, signals are c ombi ned 16:1 and then combined 2:1

3.4.1Network 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.
3.4.2Carrier 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.
3.4.3Air 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.
3.5CRI 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

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

The TRX transmits and receives radio signals to and from wireless mobile
stations. It includes all functions for handling one radio channel, such
as channel coding and decoding, modulation and demodulation, power
amplification, diversity combination, and measurements. Each TRX is
assigned to one carrier frequency and each channel is divided into three time
slots for digital and one time slot for analog voice channels. All TRXs in a
