The existing Node B site will have UL interference due to shorter distance
between Node B and repeaters and improper repeater commissioning. The
sensitivity and coverage of existing Node B will reduce by adding new
repeaters to nearby Node B site.

Noise Floor Interference Prevention
With a single button, intelligent mode has interference detection, it will detect the
interference that coming from RF input.
Automatically adjust the parameter step by step until it safety.
And last, the intelligent mode will set the parameter.
Intelligent Mode can periodically auto adjust parameters to avoid noise floor
interference toward nearby Node B.

UL PA
Silent Mode
Silent mode detection will always detect the UL RF input.
When there are no subscribers making calls, the silent mode will disable the UL
PA, when there are subscribers making calls, silent mode will enable the UL PA.
Designed with Silent mode which can automatically deactivate UL PA when
there are no subscribers making calls, so the UL noise floor interference
towards the BTS can be avoided.

Enable UL PA
UL PA keep on
silent mode
Designed for
Operator A WCDMA
Since the repeater was designed for operator A with WCDMA system, when the subscriber
of operator A with WCDMA System were making a call, the repeater will activate the UL
PA automatically.
When there are other signals go to the repeater, the repeater wont activate the UL PA,
because the repeater was designed only for operator A with WCDMA system according to
the operator A frequency.

Designed for
Operator A WCDMA
Silent Mode can detect the harmonic signal that goes to the repeater, so even if there is a
harmonic signal which is causing interference to the repeater frequency, the repeater will
not turn on the UL PA.
Silent Mode also can detect the interference which goes to the repeater that we dont
know where it is from, with the Silent Mode feature the repeater will not enable the UL PA

Benefits
26
Optimization
The most appropriate location and direction for the donor antenna
can be find out with easiness, and optimization for the Repeater
system becomes easy.
Troubleshooting
The faulty problem can be located easily which would enhance the
Troubleshooting efficiency
Maintenance
Repeater Status can be maintained even easier, since the comparison
of the donor signal and the service signal can be made more
specifically.


Cost Saving
27
No additional equipment needs to be purchased
It may take some time to arrange the trip to site for troubleshooting.
Trip to site for troubleshooting would cost around USD200.
The problem may not always be coming from repeater, and the trip to the
site may be in vain.
The donor signal measurement provide the means to rule out some of the
situations that when the problems are not coming from the repeater.
