General
• Note that the licence free period is 14 days
• The lack of a licence does not affect the (remote) management access to the
base transceiver station (BTS) in the field
Baseband capacity
• Standard Operating SW of the System Module rel. 1 (FSMB) includes support for
32 Channel Elements (CE). If the System Module rel. 2 (FSMC and FSMD) is
used, common channels in most typical configurations are included in standard
Operating SW and the operator does not need take them into account in
Channel Element dimensioning. More baseband capacity can be allocated by
Channel Capacity SW Licence Key.

Functional description
• Antenna Tilt is integrated to the RF module of Flexi WCDMA BTS.
It feeds DC power to the antenna and controls the antenna tilting.
• In Flexi WCDMA BTS this 3GPP specified antenna tilting
functionality must be enabled by a SW licence because the HW is
integrated to all RF Modules.

Functional description
• The antenna line supervision is integrated to the RF module of
Flexi BTS. It measures the VSWR, that is, the reflected RF power
of the BTS TX antenna branch.
In Next Generation BTS, this antenna line supervision should be
enabled by a SW licence because the HW is integrated to all RF
Modules.
• The VSWR monitoring system is used for producing alarms for the
antenna line condition against alarm limits. The minor alarm will be
generated when the VSWR is 1.9 and major alarm (cell down) will
be generated when the VSWR is 2.6.

Functional description
• Bias-T is integrated to the RF module of Flexi BTS. It feeds DC power to the
MHA and controls the MHA DC power current consumption. If the current
consumption is out of a specified window, an alarm is generated. AISG has
specified additional control functionality for MHA. This control is done over OOK
modulation using the antenna feeder.
• In UltraSite, the Bias-Ts have been separate HW units installed to the BTS
antenna connectors and customer has paid the functionality in the Bias-T HW
price, typically 6 pieces for a 3 sector BTS.
• In Flexi BTS, this AISG 2.0 MHA power feeding and enhanced MHA alarm
control must be enabled by a SW licence because the HW is integrated to all RF
Modules.
• Nokia Siemens Networks supports only Nokia Siemens Networks own MHAs
coded with AISG vendor code 'NK'. For 3rd party MHAs there will be special
licence key and supported MHAs need to be decided case by case.

HSDPA 15 Codes feature is a further evolution for the features Basic HSDPA with QPSK
and 5 Codes and HSDPA 16 QAM Support allowing higher peak data rates and increased
average cell throughput. The peak bit rate for single user is 7.2 Mbps. Peak cell level total
throughput is 10.8 Mbps (with code multiplexing). If features RAN1249 and RAN1305 are
activated then the figures are 10 Mbps per User and 14.4 Mbps per Cell.
Depending on the UE category, the RLC payload size of 640 bits may be used when the
HSDPA 15 Codes is enabled.
HSDPA 15 Codes allows higher peak rates as well as larger capacity. The average HSDPA
cell throughput depends on the maximum number of allocated HS-PDSCH codes. When
allocating the maximum of 10 HS-PDSCH codes, the average cell throughput is increased
by about 30% in a macro cell environment compared to having only 5 HS-PDSCH codes.
Allocating the maximum of 15 HS-PDSCH codes increases the average cell throughput by
about 50% compared to the same 5 code reference scenario. In a frequency layer dedicated
for HSDPA, the gains are significantly higher, as well as in micro cells.

• UBR+ VCC is defined by its Minimum Defined Cell Rate (MDCR) and Peak Cell Rate
(PCR). User traffic is able to utilize the free capacity up to the PCR value, and a
guarantee of MDCR is given in order to support a minimum throughput in case of high Iub
load.
• With Path Selection, one UBR+ VCC can be used for NRT-DCH traffic, and another
UBR+ VCC can be used for HSDPA traffic. It is recommended to keep the real time traffic
in CBR VCC to maintain the QoS. In this kind of configuration, UBR+ VCCs can share the
free capacity up to the defined PCR. Capacity of MDCR is guaranteed also in case of
high Iub load.
•
Since the NRT traffic carried over the DCH has more stringent Iub delay requirements
than HSPA, priorities need to be defined so that it is delivered with lower delay and delay
variation. This is supported with UBR+ parameters that are operator configurable:
– MDCR value for NRT-DCH should be set high enough for the guaranteed throughput.
– Among multiple UBR+ VCCs, priority can be assigned by parameters settings. Division of
excess bandwidth between NRT-DCH VCC and HSDPA VCC should be set so that NRT-DCH
gets higher priority over HSDPA. (At NB/RSxxx this configurable prioritization is not available)
• Admission control for NRT-DCH is done against the MDCR value, unless Dynamic
scheduling for NRT DCH with path selection feature is used. In that case admission
control is done against the VCC bundle rate.

The Maximum amount of licenses in one BTS depends on what kind of RF Module
Variants The Flexi BTS is piled up.
The Maximum amount of 40W Carrier power licenses is 6 with 3 dual type (50W) RF
Modules. E.g. 3 x FRGC or 3 x FRIA
The Maximum amount of Multi Carrier licenses is 3 with 3 single type (50W) RF Modules
or with one Single and one Dual type (50W) RF Module. E.g. 1 x FRIA + 1 x FRIB or 3 x
FRIB
In WN 3.3 only one 8W Power license is supported although HW can support up to 6 with
three dual type RF Modules.
Handling of licenses is done via the general License Management Procedures. More
information of License handling can be found from License and Option Management EFS

This feature makes possible to limit Flexi BTS RF power into 8W with
current 20/40 W RF module. It makes possible to limit maximum
allowed RF exposure from BTS especially on micro sites. RF
exposure limits are depending on national or local legislation in each
country.

• Inverse Multiplexing for ATM (IMA) enables efficient transport of broadband ATM traffic in
the existing PDH/VC-12 transmission network.
• This technique allows to combine several physical links into one logical link and saves
capacity by enabling the division of a high bandwidth ATM data stream into several lower
bit rate PDH/VC-12 transmission links.
• The data stream can then be recombined at the far end without affecting the original ATM
cell order.

Timing over Packet solution allows the operator to take the full
advantage of Ethernet/packet based BTS backhaul
In the Timing over Packet (ToP) solution there is a ToP master clock at the RNC site (or at another place in
the network where a suitable reference
clock can be accessed). The ToP master clock and the BTSs communicate through ToP messages
according to the IEEE 1588 v2 protocol.
The master clock sends synchronization messages (which carry a time stamp) through the Ethernet/packet
network to the BTSs, from
which the BTSs then recover the original reference clock.
