2.5 Application Scenarios

The ePico3801 is widely used for indoor coverage in small and medium enterprises (SMEs), SOHOs, schools, and office buildings and for hot-spot indoor coverage at pubs, airports, stores, and hotels.

2.5.1 Access Networking Scenarios

The ePico3801 is connected to an enterprise LAN or modem, which connects the ePico3801 to the public IP network. Then, the public IP network connects the ePico3801 to the AG, and the AG connects the ePico3801 to the UMTS core network. Through convergence and UMTS traffic and signaling forwarding performed by the AG, routing towards the UMTS core network is achieved. The ePico3801 can be connected to the public IP network in LAN access mode or modem access mode.

2.5.2 Installation Scenarios

If installed in a factory or office building, the ePico3801 does not require a private equipment room.

2.5.3 Typical Application Scenarios

The ePico3801 is designed to solve the indoor coverage problem of the UMTS network. With the ePico3801, mobile operators can deploy ordinary indoor coverage, intensive coverage in office buildings, and hot-spot indoor coverage quickly at low cost.

2.5.1 Access Networking Scenarios

The ePico3801 is connected to an enterprise LAN or modem, which connects the ePico3801 to the public IP network. Then, the public IP network connects the ePico3801 to the AG, and the AG connects the ePico3801 to the UMTS core network. Through convergence and UMTS traffic and signaling forwarding performed by the AG, routing towards the UMTS core network is achieved. The ePico3801 can be connected to the public IP network in LAN access mode or modem access mode.

Modem Access

The ePico3801 can be connected the public IP network through a fixed phone modem or cable TV cable.

ePico3801

User Guide

Principle of Modem Access

Each ePico3801 is connected to the public IP network through a modem. The digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM) performs data convergence and distribution and isolates the ePico3801 from other ePico3801s through a private VLAN. The service data is sent to the broadband access server (BRAS) in Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) mode, and the BRAS performs access authentication and billing for the public IP network. After the authentication is successful, the service data is sent to the SeGW on the core network of the uBro solution through the public IP network. The SeGW processes the data and forwards it to the AG and AAA. Figure 2-7 shows the networking in modem access mode.

ePico3801 User Guide 2 Introduction to the ePico3801

Access Authentication

In modem access networking, access authentication and billing for the ePico3801 can be performed in one of the following three modes, depending on mobile operators' policies:

l PPPoE dial-up mode

l Static IP address mode

l DHCP mode

LAN Access

The ePico3801 can be directly connected to the public IP network through a LAN.

Principle of LAN Access

Each ePico3801 is directly connected to a switch or router through the enterprise LAN, which connects the ePico3801 to the public IP network and isolates the ePico3801 from other ePico3801s through a private VLAN. After the router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) for the service data, the service data is sent to the SeGW on the core network of the uBro solution through the public IP network. The SeGW processes the data and forwards it to the AG and AAA. Figure 2-8 shows the networking in LAN access mode.

Figure 2-8 Networking in LAN access mode

Access Authentication

Like modem access networking, LAN access networking also supports access authentication in PPPoE dial-up mode, static IP address mode, and DHCP mode.

2.5.2 Installation Scenarios

If installed in a factory or office building, the ePico3801 does not require a private equipment room.

The ePico3801 is impact in structure and does not generate any noise. It can be easily installed on a ceiling, wall, or pole depending on the actual requirements, preferences, and situations. The installation process does not interfere with users' study or work. Figure 2-9 shows the typical installation scenarios of the ePico3801.

ePico3801

User Guide

Context

l You have logged in to the AP Manager (APM). The login account belongs to the

Administrator or Operators group.

l The ePico3801 supports the following clock synchronization modes:

– Clock synchronization over the Um interface: Under the coverage of the macro cell, the

AP uses the main SCH to perform timeslot synchronization and then synchronizes the clock over the Um interface. The AP integrated with the GSM receiver supports two clock synchronization modes: 3G clock synchronization over the Um interface and 2G clock synchronization over the Um interface (preferred). 3G clock synchronization over the Um interface synchronizes clock from the CPICH with the surrounding 3G macro base stations. This mode implements the clock synchronization within a short period, but the ongoing services are disrupted. 2G clock synchronization over the Um interface synchronizes the clock output from the GSM receiver. This mode implements the clock synchronization within a short period and the ongoing services are not disrupted. Note that the neighboring cell information must be configured for the clock synchronization over the Um interface.

– IP clock synchronization: If the AP is not in the coverage area of the macro cell or the

AP is providing services, the IP clock synchronization mode is used. When the AP synchronizes the clock for the first time after it is switched on, the clock synchronization over the Um interface is started to ensure a fast clock synchronization. When the AP enters the normal working state, the IP clock synchronization is used to ensure the processing of the ongoing services provided by the AP.

l Clock status:

– Free-run: If the clock synchronization is not being performed, for example, after the

clock synchronization is successful or the clock synchronization fails due to the timer expiration, the clock is in free-run state.

– Fast pull-in: After the board starts the clock synchronization and detects that the clock

packet is normal, the related algorithm calculates the required DA value based on the clock packet. During the calculation period, the clock is in fast pull-in state.

– Locked: The ePico3801 adjusts the system clock according to the calculated DA value.

If the output clock is within the required precision range, the clock is locked. After that, the ePico3801 continues to receive clock packets for a certain period to adjust the DA value when the clock stays locked.

– Hold: After the clock synchronization is successful and the clock enters locked state,

the ePico3801 receives clock packets for a certain period to adjust the DA value. If the clock source is lost or becomes abnormal during this period, the clock enters hold state. If the clock is being synchronized, another clock synchronization cannot be started.

5.6.4 Modifying the Location Indication Mode

This chapter describes how to configure the location indication mode on the AP Manager (APM) so that the UEs can receive location messages after entering the ePico cell. The location indication mode is classified into the PLMN location indication and the SMS location indication.

Context

The PLMN location indication or SMS location indication mode can be selected as required so that the UEs can receive location messages after entering the ePico cell.

l PLMN location indication: When a UE enters an ePico cell, the ePico3801 sends a

customized message to the UE. After the UE associates the PLMN ID with the message sent from the ePico3801, the customized message instead of the PLMN ID is displayed on the UE. This indicates that the UE is in the coverage area of the ePico cell. After the UE moves to a macro cell, the PLMN ID of the macro cell is displayed on the UE. This indicates that the UE is in the coverage area of the macro cell.

l SMS location indication: When a UE enters an ePico cell, the ePico3801 sends an SMS

message to notify that the UE is in the coverage area of the ePico3801 cell.

NOTE

The contents of both the PLMN location indication and SMS location indication need to be set in the AHR subscription information. For details, see the AHR Operator Guide.

If you select the SMS location indication, you need to enable the SMS location indication switch and set the penalty time as required.

l The parameters of the ePico zone have been set successfully.

l You have logged in to the AP Manager (APM). The login account belongs to the

Administrator or Operators group.

l The locating mode of the ePico3801 is specified.

Context

The ePico supports the following UE locating modes:

l UE emergency call locating: When a UE initiates an emergency call, the ePico3801 reports

the Service Area Identity (SAI) of itself to the core network. After receiving the SAI, the core network sends the SAI and the MSISDN of the UE to the corresponding emergency call center. After that, the emergency center locates the UE according to the SAI. The reported SAI, however, is the SAI of the ePico zone. Thus, the locating precision is not high.

l LCS service: The ePico3801 reports the SAI or geographical location of itself to the core

network according to the location indication displayed on the LCS server. After receiving the SAI or geographical location information, the core network sends the information to the LCS server to locate the UE.

l AGPS locating: If the ePico3801 is installed with an AGPS device, the ePico3801 directly

reports the geographical location to the core network after receiving the information from the AGPS device.

Procedure

Step 1 Set the SAC of the ePico zone. For details, see 5.6.5 Setting the Differentiated Billing
