Chapter 4 Main Functions

The BTS3606A supports the following CDMA2000 1x standards:

l The Um interface supports the TIA/EIA IS-2000 Rel.A standard and is compatible

with the TIA/EIA -95-A/B standard.

l The minimum performance of the BTS3606A satisfies TIA/EIA-97-D

requirements.

The BTS3606A supports the following 1xEV-DO standards:

l The Um interface supports the C.S0024-0 standard. l The minimum performance of the BTS3606A satisfies C.S0032-0 requirements.

4.1 Power Control and Rate Control

The CDMA system is a self-interference system. Every subscriber is an interference source to other subscribers. If it is possible to ensure that every MS transmits at the minimum power it needs, the whole system capacity can reach the maximum. Therefore, power control directly affects the system capacity and the service quality.

System Description

Chapter 4 Main Functions

Operating in the CDMA2000 1x system, the BTS3606A adopts power control mechanism. Power control is classified into forward power control and revers e power control. Forward power control is used to control the transmit power of the BTS.

Reverse power control aims to control the transmit power of the MS. Operating in the 1xEV-DO system, the BTS3606A adopts rate control in the forward

direction, and the rate control plus power control in the reverse direction.

I. Forward power control

There are several methods to realize forward power control, depending on the MS protocol version and the system parameters.

l Power control based on PMRM

When the MS uses the Power Measurement Report Message (PMRM) for power control, it determines the method and frequency of reporting PMRM according to the received control message contained in the system parameter message.

l Power control based on EIB

When the MS uses the Erasure Indicator Bit (EIB) for power control, it detects forward frame quality and sends this information to the BTS using EIB. The BTS will adjust the transmit power according to the EIB information.

l Forward fast power control

The MS adjusts the BTS power according to the power control bit. The power control bit can be transmitted at a maximum speed of 800 bps.

4-1

Technical Manual Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station

As the CDMA2000 1x system supports the high-speed data service, the requirement on forward power control becomes higher.

The forward quick power con trol can control the transmit power of forward channel accurately. As a result, the interference is reduced and the capacity is increased.

II. Reverse power control

Reverse power control includes open-loop power control and closed-loop power control. The clos ed-loop power control can be further classified into inner -loop power control and outer -loop power control.

l Open-loop power control

The MS determines the transmit power to access the BTS according to the strength of the received pilot signal.

l Close-loop power control

The BTS issues a power control command to the MS, and makes further adjustment according to the feedback from the MS.

System Description

Chapter 4 Main Functions

Figure 4-1 illustrates the principle of closed-loop power control.

Figure 4-1 Close-loop power control

In the inner-loop power control, the BTS issues the power control bit according to the received Eb/Nt value.

In the outer-loop power control, the BSC adjusts the Eb/Nt value according to the Frame Error Rate (FER) of the received reverse signal. Then the BTS uses the newly set Eb/Nt value to issue the power control bit. In this way, the transmit power of the MS can be controlled.

III. Rate control (only applied to 1xEV-DO forward link)

1) Forward link The AT controls the rate of the forward traffic channel throug h Data Rate Control

(DRC) channel assignment.

2) Reverse link

4-2

Technical Manual Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station

The system transmits at the maximum allowed rate through the Control Channel (CC).

The AT first transmits at 9.6 kbps, and then increases the rate gradually according to the Reverse Activity Bit (RAB) sent by the AN.

l If the RAB sent by all sectors in the Active Set is 0 and when a certain

condition is met, the AT multiples the rate every other 26.67 ms until the rate reaches the maximum allowed rate.

l If the RAB sent by at least one sector in the Act ive Set is 1, the AT decreases

the rate by half when a certain condition is met.

4.2 Handoff

When the MS/AT moves out of the current serving cell/sector or the conversation quality deteriorates to an unacceptable degree, the MS will be handed off to another cell/sector to maintain the ongoing conversation.

If the handoff of MS/AT to another cell/sector helps to improve the conversation quality and network performance, it is also possible to trigger the handoff procedure.

System Description

Chapter 4 Main Functions

Different from the CDMA2000 1x, the 1xEV-DO introduces virtual soft handoff function to the forward link.

I. Soft handoff

The soft handoff happens between neighboring cells which serve on the same frequency and belong to different BTSs. The two different BTSs can belong to the same

BSC, or two diff erent BSCs connected with A3/A7 interface. In the soft handoff procedure, the MS maintains the connection with the previous cell till

it establishes the communication with the new cell. The MS can establish radio links with multiple cells, select and combine data received from these links to improve the conversation quality and reduce call drops.

II. Softer handoff

The softer handoff happens between neighboring sectors that serve on the same frequency and belong to the same BTS. It is a special case of soft ha ndoff.

Since the MS establishes radio links with multiple sectors under the same BTS, the BTS can combine the diversity signals received by its sectors from the MS.

Therefore, the conversation quality during softer handoff is better than that of soft handoff.

III. Virtual soft handoff (only applied to the 1xEV-DO forward link)

The AT monitors all pilot signals in the Active Set and selects the best as its serving sector. Then, it receives signaling messages and data from the selected sector. This process is called virtual software handoff.

4-3

Technical Manual Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station

A cell knows whether it is selected according to the DRC Cover.

IV. Hard handoff

In the hard handoff procedure, the MS firstly interrupts the connection with the previous cell, and then sets up the connection with the new cell. Therefore, call drop may occur.

Hard handoff includes:

l Intra-frequency hard handoff: Handoff between the BSCs without A3/A7 interface

in-between.

l Inter-frequency hard handoff: Handoff between cells serving on different

frequencies.

4.3 Radio Configuration

The Um interface of the BTS3606A supports CDMA2000 1x. It is compatible with 1xEV-DO. The spreading rate is 1.2288 Mcps.

The CDMA2000 1x physical layer supports multiple Radio Configurations (RCs). Different radio configurations support the frames of the different rate sets, and have different channel configurations and spreading spectrum structures.

System Description

Chapter 4 Main Functions

The transmission combinations supported by the BTS3606A include:

l Forward RC1 and reverse RC1 l Forward RC2 and reverse RC2 l Forward RC3 or RC4, and reverse RC3 l Forward RC5 and reverse RC4

Each RC supports traffic channel at different data rates. The performance of the CDMA2000 1x system varies with RCs. For example, the CDMA2000 1x system with RC1 and RC2 is compatible with IS-95A/B.

4.4 Channel Configuration

A series of physical channels have been defined on the Um interface. These physical channels are classified by the channel features. To support higher-rate data transmission, the 1xEV-DO uses a channel design different from that of the CDMA2000 1x.

4.4.1 CDMA2000 1x Channel

The following shows the classification of the CDMA2000 1x channel.

I. Forward channel

The CDMA2000 1x forward channel includes Forward Common Channel and Forward Dedicated Channel.

The Forward Common Channel is further divided into:

4-4

Technical Manual Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station

l Forward Pilot Channel (F -PICH)

It provides synchronization signals to the MSs operating in the BTS coverage. Different from other channels, the F-PICH is an unmodulated spread spectrum

signal that is always in the transmitting status.

l Forward Sync Channel (F-SYNCH)

It provides the initial time synchronization information to MSs operating in the BTS coverage.

l Forward Paging Channel (F-PCH)

It sends the system information and MS-specific message to the MSs operating in the BTS coverage. Each CDMA channel in a sector can support seven paging

channels at most.

l Forward Quick Paging Channel (F-QPCH)

The BTS uses this channel to send the paging order and system configuration change order to slotted-mode MSs, instructing them to receive the paging

messages. As a result, the MS battery energy is saved.

System Description

Chapter 4 Main Functions

l Forward Common Control Channel (CCCH)

The BTS uses this channel to send system message and message to dedicated MS.

The Forward Dedicated Channel is further divided into:

l Forward Dedicated Control Channel (F -DCCH)

It carries traffic information and signaling information between the MS and the BTS.

l Forward Fundamental Channel (F -FCH)

It carries traffic information between the MS and the BTS.

l Forward Supplemental Channel (F-SCH)

It carries traffic information between the MS and the BTS. It is only applicable to RC3, RC4 and RC5.

II. Reverse channel

The CDMA2000 1x forward channel includes Reverse Common Channel and Reverse Dedicated Channel.

The Reverse Common Channel is further divided into:

l Reverse Access Channel (R-ACH)

The MS uses this channel to communicate with the BTS and respond to paging channel message.

4-5

Technical Manual Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station

The MS uses random access protocol to initiate access procedure. Regarding each supported paging channel, thirty-two access channels can be supported at most.

l Reverse Enhanced Access Channel (R -EACH)

The MS uses this channel to initiate the communication with the BTS or respond to dedicated paging channel message.

The Reverse Dedicated Channel is further divided into:

l Reverse Fundamental Channel (R -FCH)

It carries the traffic informat ion between the MS and the BTS.

l Reverse Dedicated Control Channel (R -DCCH)

It carries traffic information and signaling information between the MS and the BTS.

l Reverse Supplemental Channel (R-SCH)

It carries the traffic information between the MS and the BTS. It is applicable to RC3 and RC4 only.

System Description

Chapter 4 Main Functions

4.4.2 CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Channel

The follo wing shows the classification of the CDMA2000 1xEV-DO channel.

I. Forward channel

The forward channel of the 1xEV-DO adopts Time Division Multiplex (TDM) mode. It includes four types of channels: Pilot Channel, Media Access Control (MAC) Channel,

Control Channel, and Traffic Channel.

l Pilot Channel

Different from the continuous pilot of IS -95/1x system, the Pilot Channel is only transmitted on the activated forward channels in the 1xEV-DO system.

Pilot Channel is the unmodulated signal used for synchronization of ATs under the coverage of the sector and other functions.

l MAC Channel

There are three code sub-channels under the MAC Channel:

--Reverse Activity (RA) sub-channel, used for the reverse overload control of the Um interface.

--Reverse Power Control (RPC) sub-channel, used for reverse power control.

--Data Rate Control Lock (DRCLock) sub-channel, used by the AN to inform the AT whether the DRC channel of the AT can be properly demodulated. It plays an important role in helping the AT with the forward virtual handoff.

l Control Channel

4-6

Technical Manual Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station

The Control Channel is similar to the paging channel in the CDMA2000 1x system. It broadcasts various overhead messages and transmits other uni -cast messages

such as paging message.

l Traffic Channel

The Traffic Channel transmits traffic data. It is multiplexed by multiple users at different time.

II. Reverse channel

The reverse channel of the 1xEV-DO includes reverse access channel and reverse traffic channel.

l Reverse access channel

The AT uses it to originate a call or respond to network paging message. The reverse access channel covers Pilot sub-channel (transmitted on channel I) and

Data sub -channel (transmitted on channel Q).

l Reverse traffic channel

System Description

Chapter 4 Main Functions

The reverse traffic channel covers Pilot Channel, Media Access Control (MAC) Channel, Acknowledgement (ACK) Channel, and Data Channel.

--Pilot Channel It helps with the coherence demodulation and phase estimation of the BTS3606A.

--MAC Channel It consists of Reverse Rate Indicator (RRI) sub-channel and DRC sub-channel. The AT uses the DRC sub-channel to report the quality of the forward channel to

the AN. The AN can adjust the rate and the sector for transmitting data to the AT according to the message of DRC cha nnel. In this way, the air resource is best utilized.

The data channel of the reverse traffic channel uses the RRI sub-channel to determine the rate for transmitting data.

--ACK sub-channel It helps the AT notify the AN whether the data packet of forward traffic channel is

correctly received. This function helps adjust the forward rate forecast by the AT to improve the performance of the system.

--Data sub -channel It is used to transmit the reverse data. In the 1xEV-DO system, the data

sub-channel can trans mit data at five rates: 9.6 kbps, 19.2 kbps, 38.4 kbps, 76.8 kbps, or 153.6 kbps.

4-7

Technical Manual Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station

4.5 Multi-carrier

The BTS3606A supports multi-carrier technology. The single -carrier cabinet can hold both the single-carrier and multi-carrier modules.

A single-carrier transceiver module (consisting of one CTRM and one CHPA) can process one carrier signal. A multi-carrier transceiver module (consisting of one CMTR and one CMPA) can process three carrier signals. Hence, in a single -carrier cabinet, the adoption of multi-carrier transceiver module can realize the maximum configuration of S(6/6/6), that is, 18 sector carriers.

The multi-carrier module supports the 1900 MHz and 800 MHz. The BTS3606A of later version is expected to supported more bands.

4.6 Receiving Diversity

The BTS3606A supports receiving diversity function. The receiving diversity is realized through two sets of independent receiving equipment, each of which comprises antenna, feeder, CDDU, and main/diversity receiving channels.

System Description

Chapter 4 Main Functions

The two sets of receiving equipment demodulate the received signals simultaneously. Then the baseband processing unit decodes the signals with diversity combining algorithm so as to provide some diversity gain.

The receiving diversity enhances the anti-attenuation capability of the BTS receiver, and ensures the receiving effect of the BTS under complicated radio environment.

4.7 Cell Breathing

Under the control of the BSC, the BTS3606A adjusts the transmit power to control the effective coverage area and balance the system load as required.

When the BTS3606A provides the cell breathing function, the controllable range of the transmit power is from 0 dB to 24 dB and the adjustment step of transmit power is 0.5 dB.

4-8

Technical Manual Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station

Chapter 5 Reliability Design

This chapter introduces the system reliability, hardware reliability, and software reliability design of the BTS3606A.

5.1 System Reliability

The system reliability design involves the following aspects:

I. De-rating design

The de-rating design aims to lower the electrical stress and temperature stress on the high-power or heat-generating components to values less than the rated ones. It delays performance degeneration and prolongs the service life of these components.

II. Selection, control, and normalization of components

Chapter 5 Reliability Design

System Description

The category, specifications and manufacturers of the components are carefully selected depending on the requirements of the product reliability and maintainability.

The replaceability and normalization of components is also important in selecting components.

All components are high-quality ones selected through aging test. Strict quality control is implemented on hardware assembling procedures to ensure high reliability and

stability in the long run.

III. Thermal design

The thermal design focuses on following items to minimize the impact of temperature changes upon product performance:

l Component selection l Circuit design l Mechanical design l Heat dissipation design

The thermal design of the BTS3606A ensures that it can work reliably in a wide range of temperatures.

IV. EMC design

The EMC design ensures that the ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) from other equipment in the same electromagnetic environment does not degrade the performance of the BTS3606A to an unacceptable level. At the same time, the EMI generated by the BTS3606A does not degrade the performance of other eq uipment in the same electromagnetic environment to an unacceptable level.

5-1

Technical Manual Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station

V. Redundancy design

For the purpose of reliability, the system is designed with several sets of units performing the same function. The system will not fail unless the number of units failed amounts to the specified quantity.

VI. Reliability design for input voltage

l The system is protected against reverse connection of power supply. l The input voltage is tested and alarm signal will be generated when the voltage is

too low or too high.

l The system is protected against sharp voltage drop and lightning strikes. l The system can protect program and data in the case of power failure.

VII. Maintainability design

The reasonable internal wiring of the BTS facilitates board replacement. To replace a faulty board, user only needs to remove the cable of this board. The board can be removed and inserted directly from the front of the cabinet.

Chapter 5 Reliability Design

System Description

In addition, board indicators are provided to help users identify board status.

VIII. Fault monitoring and handling

The BTS3606A system can self-detect and diagnose the faults of software and hardware. It can record, output and print various fault information . In addition, it collects environment condition information and generates alarms if there is any problem.

When faults occur to the hardware, the system locates the fault, isolates the faulty component, and automatically carries out switchover to the standby components that operate normally.

The system makes a final confirmation on a hardware fault through repeated detection, thus avoiding the reconfiguration of the system or the degradation of QoS due to

contingent faults. When faults occur to the software, automatic error-correction and recovery functions

will be executed, including restarting and reloading. The network mana gement system records, outputs, and notifies the users of critical

faults. In this way, users can operate and maintain the system with ease through maintenance console.

5.2 Hardware Reliability

The hardware reliability design involves the following aspects:

5-2

Technical Manual Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station

I. Protection against wrong insertion of boards

When a board is inserted into a wrong slot, the special guide pins will prevent the board from touching the backplane. This avoids the possible damage to the equipment owing to wrong insertion.

II. Active-standby swi tchover of BCKM

The active BCKM can back up the files to the standby BCKM periodically. Once critical faults occur to the active BCKM, the original standby BCKM will function

as the active BCKM to ensure normal operation of the BTS.

III. BCIM backup slots

The BTS3606A has BCIM backup slots. Normally the BCIMs reside in the upper slots. When the upper slots are faulty, the lower slots are used instead.

IV. BCIM/BCKM power supply backup

The power modules of the BCIM and BCKM are mutually backed up. When the power module of one board is faulty, the power module of another board is used instead.

Chapter 5 Reliability Design

System Description

V. N+1 backup for baseband fans

The baseband fans work in the N+1 backup mode. One standby fan is equipped. When one fan is faulty, this standby fan starts working to ensure the performance of the

baseband ventilation system.

VI. Link backup of Abis interface

The BTS3606A supports the Abis interface link backup function to improve the reliability of links. When the backup link is configured, if the active link is faulty, the system can automatically carry out the active-standby link switchover.

VII. CE pool design of the CCPM

The CCPM adopts the CE pool design. The CCPMs are connected into a daisy chain, which increases the utilization rate of the channel resource and enables flexible configuration of the channel capacity of each sector carrier. This enhances the reliability of the system.

VIII. Status monitoring and alarm report

The BCKM can monitor the status of other boards or modules, and report alarms to ensure timely fault location.

IX. Distributed power supply

The system adopts distributed power supply. The DC/DC power supply module works in the N+1 redundancy mode.

5-3

Technical Manual Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station

When an error occurs to a module, an alarm is generated and sent to the BAM. The system also supports online insertion and removal of boards.

5.3 Software Reliability

The software reliability design involves the following aspects:

I. Periodic check of key resources

This function aims to check the software resource which has been occupied for a long time. If certain resource becomes unavailable owing to software error, the check mechanism will release that resource and output logs and alarms.

II. Process monitoring

System Description

Chapter 6 Operation and Maintenance System

The operation and m aintenance system covers the local operation and maintenance system, and the M2000 Mobile Integrated Network Management System (hereafter

briefed as M2000 system). This chapter introduces how to perform the local and remote maintenance through the

local operation and maintenance system. This chapter also briefs the basic structure and functions of the M2000 system. The

details information of the M2000 system is available in the related manuals of M2000.

Figure 6-1 BSS/AN local operation and maintenance system

I. Far-end maintenance

The Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) connects to the BSC BAM to realize the far-end maintenance on BTS.

The local operation and maintenance system of the BSS is designed in Client/Server (C/S) structure, where LMT is a Client and BAM a Server. The operation procedure is as follows:

1) The user inputs operation commands through the LMT.

2) The BAM processes commands from LMTs .

6-1

Technical Manual Airbridge BTS3606A CDMA Base Station

3) After processing, the BAM sends these commands to the host (BSC or BTS) and then waits for the response.

4) The BAM records the operation results (such as success, failure, timeout, or abnormality) and sends the results to the LMT in a specified format.

Users can also use the BAM to manage the BTSs under its control and carry out network planning in a centralized way.

II. Remote maintenance

The LMT visits the BTS by dialing up on the Modem to realize the remote maintenance. When maintenance engineers cannot perform far-end maintenance owing to some

cause (for example, the IPOA maintenance channel is faulty), they can use the remote maintenance method to maintain the BTS.

III. Near-end maintenance

In the BTS equipment room, the LMT connects to the BTS through network cables to realize the near-end maintenance.

Chapter 6 Operation and Maintenance System

System Description

Users can log in to the BTS through Telnet Client and execute the MML command to maintain the BTS .

User can also employ the reverse maintenance function to log in to the BAM from the BTS to realize the maintenance of the whole BSS.

6.1.2 Mobile Integrated Network Management System

The M2000 system implements the centralized maintenance function. In this system, the M2000 server is the core. Various mobile network elements (such as BSC, MSC, and HLR) connect to the M2000 system through Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide

Area Network (WAN). The BSC connects to the M2000 system through the BAM. Figure 6-2 shows the typical networking of the M2000 mobile integrated network
