Ease of Expanding 4G Service

1-2

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 cabin et 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.

Smart MBS System Description

Green Solution

Smart MBS Basestation combines “3G BS equip ment” and the “n ext g enerat ion 4G BS eq uip ment” into a single Base Station, and also contains the rectifier within the DU cabine t. Meanwhile, RRH(Remote Radio Head) (TX/RX processing device) is separated apart from BS equipment for natural air cooling that it can minimize footprint, power usage, and carbon dioxide emissions.

Provides Efficient Backhaul Operation

Smart MBS Basestation provides functionality that can operate multiple telecommunication technologies into a single physical backhaul network for reducing backhaul expenses. In addition, it supports an efficient backhaul operation by providing a “per-technology” sectional network operation by logically separating the backhaul, minimizing traffic interference between different technologies.

Smart MBS System Description

Chapter 2. Smart MBS Abstract

2.1 Smart MBS System Description

Smart MBS is the Basestation of Samsung Multi-Modal System. It is managed by packet core (either BSC, or EPC), and makes call to terminal to create CDMA/L TE links.

Smart MBS interfaces with UE via either CDMA(3GPP2 CDMA2000 1X Advanced and 1xEV-DO Rev.0/Rev.A), or 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 Scheduling and Wireless Bandwidth (for efficient use of RF resources and to guarantee 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/EPC, provides Power Control, and executes system operation management.

By Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet backhaul, Smart MBS synchronize the control station to transceive reliable control signal and traffic signal.

Smart MBS is separated into UADU(Universal Platform Digital Unit, an indoor DU) and the RRH(Remote Radio Head, a combined RF unit). UADU is mounted in the outdoor DU cabin et(along with the rectifier) to support outdoor environment.

UADU is a digital component for 19” shelf. It can be mounted onto either indoor or outdoor 19 inch commercial rack, and one UADU 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 8Carrier/3Sector(2Br)

Max 6Carrier/3Sect or(4Br)

- LTE (FDD) : Max 5Carrier/3Sector

RRH is RF component that is built into a single module. It can be mounted onto Walls, Poles, or Stands in outdoor environments.

Depending on Frequency bandwidth and duplexing type, RRH can be classified into following types.

- RRH-P4 : 1.9GHz PCS band, 4Tx/4R x RF path

Smart MBS has other features provided as below.

Smart MBS Abstract

Common Platform DU/RRH

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 DU in outdoor DU cabinet to implement various configuration. RRH of Smart MBS can simultaneously support multiple technologies in the same duplexing type with the same bandwidth.

RRH(Remote Radio Head) separated from DU(Digital Unit)

In order to provide ease of installation and various network structure, Smart MBS has separated RRH from DU. Between RRH and DU, a fiber optic ‘Baseband I/Q and C&M’ interface, based on CPRI(Common Public Radio Interface), is used to send/receive “data traffic signal” and “OAM data”. DU and RRH gets -48VDC from rectifier inside the outdoor 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 Antenna is minimized that RF signal loss(caused by Feeder Line) is decreased. Therefore, it can provide improved RF performance when compared to Basestation that has Digital Unit and RF Unit altogether.

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 between DU and RRH

In order to check functionality of the “Base-band I/Q and OAM interface” between DU and RRH, Smart MBS provides Loop-back T est.

Provides Remote Firmware Downloading

RRH may be replaced with firmware to enhance service and upgrade new features. At this time, Site visit is not required as firmware can be downloaded from basestation operation server (such as BSM/WSM/LSM-R). Therefore, operator can minimize the site visit, reduce the maintenance cost, and easily operate the system.

RRH may be replaced with firmware to enhance service and upgrade new features:

The remotely operated firmware which is able to downloading without visiting the site cover the functional software only like as RRH alarm, maintenance, security.

Smart MBS System Description

Provides Monitoring Port.

Through debug port of RRH, operator can monitor the information about the unit.

Support for Smooth Migration

Smart MBS can provide migration from CDMA to 4G(LTE )wireless telecommunication by either adding “traffic processor card and channel card” or “software upgrade”. In case of RRH, in the same frequency band, simple Software upgrade would allow conversion into 4G wireless telecommunication. Also, simultaneous operation of 3G and 4G is possible.

Furthermore, following are the Smart MBS features per each wireless technology.

2.1.1 Smart MBS CDMA System Feature

Support for 1X Advanced

In order to improve voice capacity and data rate, Smart MBS supports “1X Advanced”. In case of “1X Advanced”, EVRC-B, RLIC, QOF, New RC, QLIC, and MRD are implemented for voice capacity enhancement.

QChat

Smart MBS supports QChat(Qualcomm Chat) which is a PTT service that is based on 1xEV-DO. For QChat service, BSC/BTS runs in conjunction with QAS(QChat Application Server) and PDSN to exchange “signaling and bearer traffic” with terminal. QChat can support 1:1 call and group call, and reserve QoS(Quality of Service).

Provides Dual Band

Dual band is a feature that allows single basestation to provide different services in 2 different RF bandwidths. Smart MBS can simultaneously provide service on 800MHz band and 1.9GHz band. With exception of RRH, Smart MBS can utilize entire hardware to be shared for 2 bands. Smart MBS’s Digital Unit can provide up to maximum capacity of 12 Carrier/3 Sector(2Br) or 6Carrier/3Sector(4Br). For

1.9GHz, Smart MBS supports 4Br.

Tx/RX Diversity Support

In order to improve RRH-P4, Smart MBS optionally provides TDTD(Time Delay Transmit Diversity) feature that will transmit “CDMA Modem output of 1Tx” from “RF path of 2Tx”. Also, in order to improve receive performance, d RRH-P4 provides 2 Branch receive divers ity (which provides 2 receive path per each sector) as a standard. Optionally, Operator may choose that RRH-P4 can provide 4 Branch receive Diversity which will provide 4 receive paths.

2.1.3 Smart MBS LTE System Feature
