Ease of Expanding 4G Service
Legacy base stations consist of “3G CDMA 1X” for voice calls, “EVDO” for Data, “Battery”, and
“Rectifier”. If 4G service was to be supplied, additional 4G base station equipment had to be installed.
Nevertheless, “Smart MBS Base Station” only requires DU(Digital Unit) cabinet and Battery cabinet to
provide existing service as well as 4G Service with minimal board replacements and software upgrades.
Therefore, Smart MBS Basestations utilizes the cables, rectifiers, and batteries of the existing basestation
system. Its ease of 4G installation will bring about efficient network implementation in the future
commercial 4G service.
Green Solution
Smart MBS Basestation combines “3G BS equipment” and the “next generation 4G BS equipment” into
a single Base Station, and also contains the rectifier within the DU cabinet . Meanwhi le, RR H(Remote
Radi o Head) (TX/RX processing device) is separated apart from BS equipment for natural air cooling
that it ca n minimize f o otprint, power usage, and ca rb on dioxide emissio ns.

1.3.1 CDMA System Feature
Following Figure shows CDMA system(BSC, BTS)ba s e d on 1X/1xEV-DO.
Figure 1.5 CDMA System Fu nc tional Struc ture
BSC works with voice cor e equipments (MSCe, MGW) to manage signaling and bearer process for voice
servic e. In BSC, SUA Hand ler is res pons i bl e for Al p si gna ling with MSC e, and Voice Handl er sends the
voice bearer traffic to MGW. In addition, it works with PDSN for 1X data and 1xEV-DO data service.
A10 Hand ler mana ges the bear er tr affi c of such data 1X Da ta and 1xEV-DO Data ser vice. A 11 Handl er
manages signaling for data service. RLP Handler manages ARQ feature for data communication.
For Authentication of 1xEV-DO terminal, AN-AAA client is responsible for synchronization with ANAAA. SC /M M executes s es sion control a nd mob ility management for 1xEV-DO.
BTS is respons i ble for Radi o Re s ource Control and terminal co mmu ni cation. Through CAI( Com m on A ir
Interface), it provides featur es such as high speed data service, mul timedia service, new hand off, in
accordance with standards defined in 3GPP2 C.S0024-0_v4.0, 3GPP2 C.S0024-A_v3.0, and 3GPP2
Following Figure shows functional separation between eNB, MME, S-GW, P-GW of E-UTRAN in
accordance with 3GPP standard. Generally, eNB manages “Connected mode” at AS(Access Stratum)
level. MME manages Idle mode terminals in NAS(Non-Access Stratum) level. Both S-GW and P -GW
performs “user data man a gem ent” and provide the “li nk to foreig n network”.
Follow ing dis p lays the functio nality of eNB, MME, S-GW, and P-GW.
eNB manages E-UTRAN( Evo lve d U TRAN), the wireless access network of LTE system. Multiple eNB are
connected v ia X2 interface, and these eNB are connected to EPC(Evolved Packet Core) via S1 interface.
Wirele ss protocol la yer of eNB can be di vided int o Layer1 , Layer2, and Layer 3. Layer 3 contains RRC
layer, Layer 2 contains three layers(MAC layer(sublayer), RLC layer, PDCP layer) where each layer
execu tes an inde pendent pr ocess. RRC la yer belong s to layer 3 of the wir eless pr otocol. Gene rally, RRC
Layer is responsible for maintenanc e and control of RB(Radio Bea rer), RRC c onnectivi ty, and Exchange of
System Data. Meanwhi l e, PDCP layer is responsible for head er compressi on of IP packet, security featur es
like “cipherin g/integrity check”, and “selecti ve transmission feature” which can increase the efficiency of
“radio resource”
RLC Layer is resp onsible a ) for segmentation and reassem bly at MAC Layer for data which was received
from PDCP layer; b) of restoring the tx failure(at lower level) via retransmission (ARQ); and c) of
reordering which can be caused because by (HARQ in MAC layer)
For ea ch bearer, MAC Layer distributes RF resour ces according to priorit y, multiplexes the dat a received
Smart MBS System Description
from various “Upper Logical Channels”, and performs HARQ(Hybrid ARQ).
MME(Mobility Management Entity)
MME works in conjunc tion with E-UTRAN( eNB) t o hand le “S1-AP signaling messag e”(of SCTP base;
used to control connecti on between MME and eNB) AND “NAS Signaling message” (of SCTP base; used
to control mobility and connection between terminal and EPC.) In addition, it works in conjunction with
HSS to obtain subscriber information, modification, and authentication. It can work in conjuncti on with SGW, as utilizing GTP-C prot ocol, to all ocate bear er path ( for data routing and forwar ding, rel ease, and
modification)
It can also work in conj unction wit h SGSN(of 2G, 3G) and M SC to provide Mobility, HO, CS fa llback, and
SMS service.
MME can handle mobility, idle mode UE reachability, TA list management, P-GW/S-GW selection,
authentication, and bearer management.
MME supports mobility for handover between eNB, and supports handover between MME. Also, SGSN
selectio n is sup ported when it hands over to 2G, 3G, or 3GPP ne t work.
S-GW(S erv i ng Gat eway)
S-GW plays role as mobilit y anchor when handover is execut ed between eNB, and 3GPP. As a supported
function, packet data is “Routed”, “Forward ed”. Billin g Policy can be configured differently per each of
UE, PDN, and QCN. It can manage and modify the “packet transport layer” of the uplink/datalink data.
In addi tion, S-GW supports GTP and PMIP protocol in conjunction with MME, P-GW, and SGSN.
P-GW(PDN Gateway)
P-GW can execute Billing/Bear er policy in conj unc ti on wit h PCRF, and per it s pol i cy. Billin g, QoS , can be
managed/modified per service level. P-GW provides Packet filtering feature per each subscriber, and
allocates IP address to each UE. P-GW can manage/modify packet transport layer of the downlink Data.
Smart M BS is the Bas es ta ti on of Sam sun g Mult i-Modal System. It is managed by packet core (either BSC,
ACR, or EPC), and makes call to terminal to create CDMA /LTE links.
Smart MBS interfaces with UE via either CDMA(3GPP2 CDMA2000 1X Advanced and 1xEV-DO
Rev.0/Rev.A (20110408)), LTE(3GPP LTE Rel.8/9). It provides broadband high speed data service and
multimedia services.
In order to implement this, Smart MBS can perform Modulation/Demodulation (for voice or packet
traffic), assign S cheduling and Wireless Ba ndwidth (for effici ent use of RF r esources a nd to guar antee
QoS), handle ARQ(Automatic Repeat request), perform ranging feature, provide connection control
feature (for sending Smart MBS information and enable/maintain/disable the call), Synchronize
BSC/A CR /EPC, prov ides Power Co ntrol, and e xecutes system ope ratio n manageme nt.
By Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet backhaul, Smart MBS syn chronize the control station to transceive
reliable control sig nal and traffic signal.
Smart MBS is separated into UADU(Universal Platform Digital Unit, an indoor DU) and the
RRH(Remot e Rad io Hea d, a c ombine d RF uni t). UADU is mounted in the outdoor DU cabinet(along
with the re ctifier) to support outdoor e nv ironment.
UADU is a digital component for 19” shelf. It can be mounted onto either indoor or outdoor 19 inch
commer cial ra ck, and one UAD U can provide the following maximum capacity. Based on operator’s
setup, it can be operated as omni type or sector type.
- CDMA 1X / EVDO: Max 4Carrier/3Sector
- L TE (FDD): Max 1Carrier/3Sector
RRH is RF component that is built into a single module. It can be mounted o nto Walls, Poles, or Stands
in outdoor environments.
Depending on Frequency bandwidth and duplexing ty pe, RRH can be c lassified into follow ing types.
Digital boards of each wireless technology, to be mounted in Smart MBS, share the common DU
platform. Therefore, different boards(for multiple technology) may be mounted in a single DU, and
operator can mount up to 4 D U in ou td oor DU cabinet to implement va rious configuration.
RRH of Smart MBS can simultaneously support multiple technologies in the same duplexing type with
the same b andwidth.
RRH(Remote Radio Head) separated fr om DU(Dig ital Unit)
In order to provi de ea se of ins ta llati on and vari ous network st ructure, Smar t MBS has separated RRH
from DU. Between RRH and DU, a fiber optic ‘Baseband I/Q and C&M’ interface, based on
CPRI( Comm on Publi c Radi o Inter face ), is used t o send/recei ve “dat a tra ffic signal” an d “OAM data”. DU
and RRH gets -48VDC f rom rectifier inside the outdoo r DU cabinet.
Provide Easy Installation
RRH integrates optic-sync component and RF signal processor, and is a small & light weight single
module. RRH can be mounted onto Walls, Poles, or Stands. In addition, distance between RRH and
Ant enna i s mini m iz ed th at RF si gna l l oss( ca used b y Feeder Line ) i s d ecr eas ed. The r efor e, i t can pr ovid e
improved RF pe rformance whe n compared to Basestation that has Digital Unit and RF Unit alto g ether .
Natural Cooling Mechanism
RRH(Remote Radio Head) may be installed in outdoor environment, and its thermal-dynamic design
efficiently dissipates heat without requirement of additional cooling mechanism. Also, no maintenance cost
is required for RRH cooling.
Feature for Loop-Back Test of the line betw een DU and R RH
In order to check functionality of the “Base-band I/Q and OAM interface” between DU and RRH, Smart
MBS provides Loop-back Test.
Provides Rem ote Fir mware D ownloading
RRH may be rep laced with firmware to enhance service and upgrade new featu res. At this time, Sit e vi sit
is not required as firmware can be downloaded from basestation operation server (such as
BSM/WSM/LSM-R). Ther efore, ope ra tor can m inimiz e the si te visit, redu ce the ma intenanc e cost, and
easily operate the system.
Provides Monit or ing P or t.
Through debug port of RRH, operator c an monitor t he information abo ut the u nit.
