This chapter provides an overview of the Alcatel-Lucent Small Cells solution, and in particular the Alcatel-Lucent 9962 Multi-standard Enterprise Cell v1 product.

9962 MSEC v1.0 : Product Overview

Introduction

The Alcatel-Lucent 9962 Multi-Standard Enterprise Cell, or 9962 MSEC, is a wireless access point using licensed spectrum delivering improved network reach and increased capacity while off-loading traffic from the macro network.

It is part of Alcatel-Lucent’s family of Small Cell Solutions.

Figure 1-1 9962 MSEC - Standard model, front view

Note: The stick antennas, as pictured, are used only for wall-mount (vertical) installation - not for ceiling mount (horizontal) installation - and are available separately from the standard product package.

The 9962 MSEC leverages the latest innovations to provide an indoor small cell that supports 3G W-CDMA and 4G LTE Radio Access Technology carriers, (using a single System on Chip, SoC) operating in multiple bands, coupled with an integrated Wi-Fi Access Point (Wi-Fi AP) functionality.

Its Software Defined Radio (SDR) capability provides the flexibility not only to evolve from 3G to 4G technology in a given band but also to assign any of the multiple supported bands to either technology. These software-only changes eliminate the need to visit the site, thus simplifying maintenance and reducing operating costs.

Small Cells System Architecture

Overview

The Alcatel-Lucent Small Cell unit uses 3GPP interfaces to connect to neighboring eNodeBs and other existing mobile core network nodes, while offering a 3GPP-compliant air interface. The architecture integrates seamlessly into existing LTE and UMTS networks, including interfaces to other components, as well as to existing management systems, and therefore integrates with existing applications, portals, and services through standard interfaces.

Figure 1-2 Small Cell Solution Architecture

The Small Cell unit interconnects with the core network elements with the addition of a Security Gateway (SeGW), a 3G Small Cell GW (HNB-GW) and optionally a HeNB-GW between the unit and the 3G/LTE core elements.

It supports S1-MME and S1-U interfaces based on 3GPP specifications as per macro eNodeB. The unit has connectivity to all MMEs/SGWs (located in the core network) in the pool/serving area. The S1-flex function and requirements for the unit differ from those for the macro eNodeB, as it is on the HeNB-GW, instead of on the unit itself.

The Serving Gateway (SGW) selection function selects an available SGW to serve a UE. The SGW selection function is performed by the MME and does not require any changes to support the unit.

2 2Alcatel-Lucent 9962

Multi-standard Enterprise Cell v1 : Functional Description

Overview

Purpose

This chapter presents a functional description and use cases of the 9962 MSEC v1.0.

Advantages and Functional Description

Use Cases

The Alcatel-Lucent 9962 Multi-Standard Enterprise Cell is designed for deployment in an indoor environment with its associated environmental and physical constraints. Therefore, it can be installed in many indoor private places such as business offices or warehouses, as well as in numerous indoor public places (supermarkets, shopping malls, airports…) The 9962 MSEC installation will depend on local or national laws in the country where the product is deployed.

Product Benefits

Since the 9962 MSEC can be installed in a wide variety of indoor places, it can offer many benefits to customers using those spaces.

If installed in business offices, new sources of revenue from corporate applications can be enabled by the enhanced indoor coverage and corporate networking possibilities. For instance, with the presence location API feature, the users can be connected to the Small Cell Access Points to take advantage of enterprise services. For example, workers can be connected to the company anytime, anywhere through a mobile application. They can make and receive their business calls as if they were in their office, thanks to a “One Number” capability.

Options such as call history, visual voice mails, corporate directory, and call routing are available on this kind of mobile application.

If installed in indoor public places, the 9962 MSEC can be deployed in areas formerly covered by microcells or picocells, but can also be used in many more cases, instead of macrocells, since they are very easy to install and are less subject to regulatory constraints with their low emission power.

With its high capacity, the Enterprise Cell is ideal for high user-density places where additional capacity is required or even in areas where cell phone coverage is needed on short notice. This deployment also allows new, innovative applications such as location, Quality of Service (QoS) and trusted security for application development.

Enterprise Cells also allow the operator to propose bundled offers and to include an entire group of employees into a single agreement. This leads to a reduction of customer churn, and allows higher revenue per user.

Auto-configuration and self-optimisation

Advantages and Functional Description

The Network Listening feature is used for auto-configuration and self-optimisation of the radio. It allows the 9962 Multi-Standard Enterprise Cell to act as a UE and receive transmission from neighboring base stations. It is used to automatically identify, measure and record its neighbor cells, reducing the need for operator-provisioned neighbor cell lists.

The information is then used by the 9962 Multi-Standard Enterprise Cell to automatically select:

• its Physical Cell id (PCI) and to create and update a list of neighbor cells before UE measurements are received

• its primary scrambling code and power levels to transmit, and to create and update a list of UMTS neighbor cells

Those neighbor cell lists are used by the 9962 Multi-Standard Enterprise Cell for identification of the target cell for hand-over and for rebroadcasting of the system information messages, in support of re-selection by the UE.

The Wi-Fi part is a dual-band dual-concurrent module, supporting:

Security

• Frequency bands: 2.4 and 5 GHz.

• Bandwidths: 20 and 40 MHz.

The 9962 Multi-Standard Enterprise Cell security solution offers robust and mature security features to protect the Small Cell system against increasing security risks resulting from exposure to untrusted areas.

This security solution is based on a long security hardening experience from W-CDMA Small Cell, LTE wireless security knowledge and customer feedback and lessons learned in this area, such as:

• IPsec tunnel for traffic integrity protection and encryption for OAM, control plane, user plane

• Certificate-based authentication and security with Secure boot, Trusted Environment to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information on the Enterprise Cell, and Authentication of the Enterprise Cell to the SeGW by Certificate as per 3GPP TS33.320.

• Security hardening of the 9962 Multi-Standard Enterprise Cell

• Tamper Alarm

• Evolved Packet System

Forced opening of the casing causes permanent disablement of the unit. In this case, the repair process is not applicable, as irreversible damage is caused to the printed circuit board and a new one must be provided.

9962 MSEC : Hardware Description

The 5620 SAM performs the following tasks :

• It provisions a network with fast and easy configuration and multi-vendor scripting workflows that reduce the risk of error and shorten network deployment time.

• It accelerates set-up for integrated IP/optical performance and SLA monitoring with service-aware diagnostics that validate end-to-end services and IP/optical paths.

• It prevents service degradation through end-to-end power control, monitoring, tracing, and fault localization.

• It correlates faults to identify whether the problem resides in the IP or optical layer, and the root cause. This function simplifies troubleshooting and isolates problems before services are affected.

Technical Requirements

Power Supply

The power supply requirements and consumption are as follows :

• If a Power supply over 4p PoE is used to supply the power, a 4p PoE injector can be used while the AC/DC power connector is not used. Otherwise, a 4p PoE capable router can also be used. 4p PoE capable router and 4p PoE injector are not part of the standard product delivery.

• Power supply with AC/DC power adaptor : The Multi-standard Enterprise Cell v1 requires a 48V DC power feed. In this case, power injector is not used but a AC/DC power adaptor is needed.

• Power consumption : The maximum power consumption of the Enterprise Cell depends on the transmit power.

The power consumption on the 250 mW variant is approximately 48 W.

Frequency Bands

The Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Cell Multi-Standard supports 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz carrier bandwidths for LTE and 5 MHz carrier bandwidth for W-CDMA applications.

LED states

Overview

Purpose

This chapter details LED status and their meaning for the 9962 MSEC v1.0 product and troubleshooting.

LED states for the 3G and 3G/4G 9962 MSEC v1.0

Overview

This topic describes the states of the LEDs on the 9962 MSEC v1.0 device.

There are two variants of the 9962 MSEC v1.0:

• 3G only

• 3G and 4G (LTE)

There are six red/green bicolored LEDs that indicate the status:

• Power

• LTE cells: only on the 3G/4G variant

• W-CDMA cell

• GPS receiver

• 2 WiFi module status indicators on the rear of the unit, labelled 2G and 5G.

Figure 4-1 9962 MSEC v1.0 LEDs

The LEDs can take these states:

• Off

• flashing green

• solid green

• flashing red

• solid red

• toggling between red and green

LED interpretation

When the 9962 MSEC v1.0 is powered on, all LEDs are solid red: if the software fails to start, the LEDs remain in this condition. Otherwise the LEDs indicate the progress of the initialization of the unit.

After the four LEDs, excluding the WiFi LEDs, have been in a normal state for fifteen minutes, these four LEDs are all turned off to avoid bringing attention to the unit. If an event occurs that changes an LED state, then the four LEDs are turned on. After the LEDs have returned to normal state for fifteen minutes, all LEDs are turned off again.

The WiFi status LEDs act independently of this management.

Power LED

The system initialization and fault states are represented by a single bicolored red/green LED.
