BTS Installation & Commissioning Under GP Swap

1 Introduction:
Telecommunication is the transmission of information over significant distances to
communicate. In earlier times, telecommunications involved the use of visual signals, such as
beacons, smoke signals, semaphore telegraphs, signal flags, and optical heliographs, or audio
messages via coded drumbeats, lung-blown horns, or sent by loud whistles, for example. In
the modern age of electricity and electronics, telecommunications now also includes the use
of electrical devices such as telegraphs, telephones, and teleprompters, the use of radio and
microwave communications, as well as fiber optics and their associated electronics, plus the
use of the orbiting satellites and the Internet.

1.1GSM:
Short for Global System for Mobile Communications, GSM is a digital cellular
communications system. It was developed in order to create a common European mobile
telephone standard but it has been rapidly accepted worldwide. GSM is designed to provide a
comprehensive range of services and features to the users not available on analogue cellular
networks and in many cases very much in advance of the old public switched telephone
network (PSTN). In addition to digital transmission, GSM incorporates many advanced
services and features like worldwide roaming in other GSM networks.

1.1.1 Architecture of the GSM Network:

The GSM mobile telephony service is based on a series of contiguous radio cells which
provide complete coverage of the service area and allow the subscriber operation anywhere
within it. Prior to this cellular concept, radiophones were limited to just the one transmitter
covering the whole service area. Cellular telephony differs from the radiophone service
because instead of one large transmitter, many small ones are used to cover the same area.
The basic problem is to handle the situation where a person using the phone in one cell
moves out of range of that cell. In the radiophone service there was no solution and the call
was lost, which is why the service area was so large. In cellular telephony, handing the call
over to the next cell solves the problem. This process is totally automatic and requires no
special intervention by the user, but it is a complex technical function requiring significant
processing power to achieve a quick reaction.
The functional architecture of a GSM system can be broadly divided into the Mobile Station,
the Base Station Subsystem, and the Network Subsystem. Each subsystem is comprised of
functional entities that communicate through the various interfaces using specified protocols.
The subscriber carries the mobile station; the base station subsystem controls the radio link
with the Mobile Station. The network subsystem, which is the main part of which is the
Mobile services Switching Center, performs the switching of calls between the mobile and
other fixed or mobile network users, as well as management of mobile services, such as
authentication.

Figure 1.1: GSM Network Overview.

1.2 Mobile Telephone System


Figure 1.2: Ericsson GSM System

The Base Station System (BSS) contains two functional entities; the Base Station Controller
(BSC) and the Base Transceiver Station (BTS). The BSC handles radio-related functions,
such as handover, management of the radio network resources, and cell configuration data. It
also controls radio Frequency power levels in RBSs and MSs. The BTS is a network
component which serves one cell and is controlled by the BSC. The BTS contains a number
of transceivers. It consists of the radio transceivers and all the digital signal processing
equipment. RBS 2106 contains equipment for 1 – 3 BTSs.

1.3 Radio Base Station


The Radio Base Station 2106 (RBS 2106) is Ericsson’s second generation of RBSs developed
to meet the GSM specifications for BTSs.

1.3.1Base Station Subsystem:


The Base Station Subsystem is composed of two parts, the Base Transceiver Station (BTS)
and the Base Station Controller (BSC). The BTS houses the radio transceivers that define a
cell and transmits and receives signals on the cells' allocated frequencies with the mobile
station.
A BSC operates with a group of BTSs and manages the radio resources for one or more of
them. The BSC is the connection between the MS and the Network Subsystem. It manages
the radio channel (setup, tear down, frequency hopping, etc.) as well as handovers and the
transmission power levels and frequency translations of the voice channel used over the radio
link to the standard channel used by the Public Switched Telephone Network or ISDN.

1.3.2 Network Subsystem:


The central component of the Network Subsystem is the Mobile services Switching Center
(MSC). It acts like a normal switching node of the normal telephones of the land lines and in
addition provides all the functionality needed to handle a mobile subscriber, including
registration, authentication, location updating and inter-MSC handovers. These services are
provided in conjunction with several functional entities, which together form the Network
Subsystem. The MSC provides the connection to the public fixed network (PSTN or ISDN)
and is the interface between the GSM and the PSTN networks for both telephony and data.
Thus the MSC is primarily responsible for:
Traffic management
Call set-up
Call Routing to a roaming subscriber
Termination
Charging and accounting information

2 RBS Types:
2.1RBS 2106

Figure 2.1: RBS 2106


The RBS 2000 family supports a wide range of applications ranging from extreme coverage
to extreme capacity. Being a RBS 2000 member guarantees coexistence with the installed
base of RBS 200 and RBS 2000 products. RBS 2106 Outdoor cabinet with a maximum of six
dTRUs/12 TRXs per cabinet Ericson’s synchronization based BSS features ensure that
transceivers from different generations of radio base stations can easily form common cells.
Operators can therefore bridge the past with the future. By making existing sites future proof,
investments are protected while migrating to 3G.RBS 2106 is a high capacity, compact
outdoor macro radio base station supporting up to twelve transceivers per cabinet. It is
possible to build one, two and three sector configurations including dual band configurations
in one cabinet. Being the latest member in the RBS 2000 family, RBS 2106 is to date the
most powerful outdoor RBS in the world. Keeping the successful characteristics of the
existing RBS 2000 portfolio and improving functionality as well as operation and
maintenance makes the RBS 2106 a very cost-effective solution for growing GSM operators.

2.1.1 Part of the grow-on-site concept


Since it is becoming increasingly difficult to find new base station sites, it is of great interest
to remain on the existing sites as long as possible. Site space is often a limiting factor for
capacity growth. The powerful RBS 2106, included in Ericson’s grow-on-site toolbox,
addresses this problem. On many sites, two or more existing cabinets can be replaced by one
RBS 2106.This is of major importance, since it makes it possible to reuse the space to rollout
WCDMA equipment. The RBS 2106 will pave the way for WCDMA.Also interesting for
new locations; the RBS 2106 offers a complete solution in stand-alone cabinet which rapidly
can be implemented outdoors.

2.2 RBS 2116 V2


A Member of the RBS 2000 Family. As a member of the world-leading RBS 2000 family, the
RBS 2116 V2 continues the tradition of excellent-coverage base stations from Ericsson by
bringing the RBS 2116 closer to the RBS 2106 V3. This means, for example, using the same
replaceable units, such as power supply units, in both the RBS 2116 V2 and the RBS 2106
V3.From hereon in this document the RBS 2116 V2 is referred to as the RBS 2116.Reducing
the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) to capture revenue in new growth markets requires
reducing both capital and operating expenses to levels not previously seen in the industry.
Whether your growth markets require broader coverage, increased capacity, or enhanced
quality, the RBS 2116 is designed to deliver the higher performance, faster time to service,
and greater simplicity essential in minimizing TCO. With its unique understanding of all the
cost elements associated with operating cellular networks, Ericsson is now taking the world’s
most successful base station platform one step further to deliver products that will set the new
standard for the continued evolution of GSM and WCDMA

ANTENNA
3.1 ANTENNA
An antenna is a transducer designed to transmit or receive electromagnetic waves. In other
words, antennas convert electromagnetic waves into electrical current and vice versa.
Antennas are used in systems such as radio and television broadcasting, point-to-point radio
communication, wireless LAN, radar, and space exploration. Antennas usually work in air or
outer space, but can also be operated under water or even through soil and rock at certain
frequencies for short distances.

3.1.1 Antennas Resonant


While there are broadband designs for antennas, the vast majority of antennas are based on
the half-wave dipole which has a particular resonant frequency. At its resonant frequency, the
wavelength is slightly over twice the length of the half-wave dipole . The quarter-wave
vertical antenna consists of one arm of a half-wave dipole, with the other arm replaced by a
connection to ground or an equivalent ground plane. A Yagi-Uda array consists of a number
of resonant dipole elements, only one of which is directly connected to the transmission line.
The quarter-wave elements of a dipole or vertical antenna imitate a series-resonant electrical
element, since if they are driven at the resonant frequency a standing wave is created with the
peak current at the feed-point and the peak voltage at the far end.

3.1.2 Antennas Current and voltage distribution


The antenna conductors have the lowest feed-point impedance at the resonant frequency
where they are just under 1/4 wavelength long; two such conductors in line fed differentially
thus realize the familiar "half-wave dipole". When fed with an RF current at the resonant
frequency, the quarter wave element contains a standing wave with the voltage and current
largely (but not exactly) in phase quadrature, as would be obtained using a quarter wave stub
of transmission line. The current reaches a minimum at the end of the element (where it has
nowhere to go!) and is maximum at the feed-point. The voltage, on the other hand, is the
greatest at the end of the conductor and reaches a minimum (but not zero) at the feed point.
Making the conductor shorter or longer than 1/4 wavelength means that the voltage pattern
reaches its minimum somewhere beyond the feed-point, so that the feed-point has a higher
voltage and thus sees a higher impedance, as we have noted. Since that voltage pattern is
almost in phase quadrature with the current, the impedance seen at the feed-point is not only
much higher but mainly reactive.

3.1.3 Antennas Bandwidth


Although a resonant antenna has a purely resistive feed-point impedance at a particular
frequency, many (if not most) applications require using an antenna over a range of
frequencies. An antenna's bandwidth specifies the range of frequencies over which its
performance does not suffer due a poor impedance match. Also in the case of a Yagi-Uda
array, the use of the antenna very far away from its design frequency reduces the antenna's
directivity, thus reducing the usable bandwidth regardless of impedance matching.

3.1.4 Antennas Gain


Gain is a parameter which measures the degree of directivity of the antenna's radiation
pattern. A high-gain antenna will preferentially radiate in a particular direction. Specifically,
the antenna gain, or power gain of an antenna is defined as the ratio of the intensity (power
per unit surface) radiated by the antenna in the direction of its maximum output, at an
arbitrary distance, divided by the intensity radiated at the same distance by a hypothetical
isotropic antenna.
The gain of an antenna is a passive phenomenon - power is not added by the antenna, but
simply redistributed to provide more radiated power in a certain direction than would be
transmitted by an isotropic antenna. An antenna designer must take into account the
application for the antenna when determining the gain. High-gain antennas have the
advantage of longer range and better signal quality, but must be aimed carefully in a
particular direction. Low-gain antennas have shorter range, but the orientation of the antenna
is relatively inconsequential. For example, a dish antenna on a spacecraft is a high-gain
device that must be pointed at the planet to be effective, whereas a typical Wi-Fi antenna in a
laptop computer is low-gain, and as long as the base station is within range, the antenna can
be in any orientation in space. It makes sense to improve horizontal range at the expense of
reception above or below the antenna. Thus most antennas labelled "omnidirectional" really
have some gain.[5]
In practice, the half-wave dipole is taken as a reference instead of the isotropic radiator. The
gain is then given in dBd (decibels over dipole):
NOTE: 0 dBd = 2.15 dBi. It is vital in expressing gain values that the reference point be
included. Failure to do so can lead to confusion and error.

3.1.5 Antenna Effective area or aperture


The effective area or effective aperture of a receiving antenna expresses the portion of the
power of a passing electromagnetic wave which it delivers to its terminals, expressed in terms
of an equivalent area. For instance, if a radio wave passing a given location has a flux of
1 pW / m2 (10−12 watts per square meter) and an antenna has an effective area of 12 m2, then
the antenna would deliver 12 pW of RF power to the receiver (30 microvolts rms at 75
ohms). Since the receiving antenna is not equally sensitive to signals received from all
directions, the effective area is a function of the direction to the source.
Due to reciprocity (discussed above) the gain of an antenna used for transmitting must be
proportional to its effective area when used for receiving. Consider an antenna with no loss,
that is, one whose electrical efficiency is 100%. It can be shown that its effective area
averaged over all directions must be equal to λ 2/4π, the wavelength squared divided by 4π.
Gain is defined such that the average gain over all directions for an antenna with 100%
electrical efficiency is equal to 1. Therefore the effective area A eff in terms of the gain G in a
given direction is given by:

For an antenna with an efficiency of less than 100%, both the effective area and gain are
reduced by that same amount. Therefore the above relationship between gain and effective
area still holds. These are thus two different ways of expressing the same quantity. A eff is
especially convenient when computing the power that would be received by an antenna of a
specified gain, as illustrated by the above example.

3.1.6 Antennas Radiation pattern

Figure 3.1:Polar plots of the horizontal cross sections of a (virtual) Yagi-Uda-antenna


The radiation pattern of an antenna is a plot of the relative field strength of the radio waves
emitted by the antenna at different angles. It is typically represented by a three dimensional
graph, or polar plots of the horizontal and vertical cross sections. The pattern of an ideal
isotropic antenna, which radiates equally in all directions, would look like a sphere. Many
nondirectional antennas, such as monopoles and dipoles, emit equal power in all horizontal
directions, with the power dropping off at higher and lower angles; this is called an
omnidirectional pattern and when plotted looks like a torus or donut.

3.1.7 Antennas Impedance


As an electro-magnetic wave travels through the different parts of the antenna system (radio,
feed line, antenna, free space) it may encounter differences in impedance (E/H, V/I, etc.). At
each interface, depending on the impedance match, some fraction of the wave’s energy will
reflect back to the source,[6] forming a standing wave in the feed line. The ratio of maximum
power to minimum power in the wave can be measured and is called the standing wave ratio
(SWR). A SWR of 1:1 is ideal. A SWR of 1.5:1 is considered to be marginally acceptable in
low power applications where power loss is more critical, although an SWR as high as 6:1
may still be usable with the right equipment. Minimizing impedance differences at each
interface (impedance matching) will reduce SWR and maximize power transfer through each
part of the antenna system.

3.2 Microwave Antenna


Since the operating principles of low-frequency and microwave antennas are essentially the
same, the electrical characteristics are also very similar. I shall need a fundamental
knowledge of radar and communications antenna electrical theory in my shipboard antenna
maintenance work. Antenna theory is primarily a design consideration of antenna size and
shape requirements that depend on the frequency used. A brief description of antenna
electrical characteristics is sufficient for the needs of most students of electronics.
Figure 3.2: Microwave Antenna
3.2.1 Microwave transmission
Microwave transmission refers to the technology of transmitting information or power by the
use of radio waves whose wavelengths are conveniently measured in small numbers of
centimeters; these are called microwaves. This part of the radio spectrum ranges across
frequencies of roughly 1.0 gigahertz (GHz) to 30 GHz. These correspond to wavelengths
from 30 centimeters down to 1.0 cm.
Microwaves are widely used for point-to-point communications because their small
wavelength allows conveniently-sized antennas to direct them in narrow beams, which can be
pointed directly at the receiving antenna. This allows nearby microwave equipment to use the
same frequencies without interfering with each other, as lower frequency radio waves do.
Another advantage is that the high frequency of microwaves gives the microwave band a very
large information-carrying capacity; the microwave band has a bandwidth 30 times that of all
the rest of the radio spectrum below it. A disadvantage is that microwaves are limited to line
of sight propagation; they cannot pass around hills or mountains as lower frequency radio
waves can.
Microwave radio transmission is commonly used in point-to-point communication systems
on the surface of the Earth, in satellite communications, and in deep space radio
communications. Other parts of the microwave radio band are used for radars, radio
navigation systems, sensor systems, and radio astronomy.

4.2 CDU Combining and Distribution Unit
The CDU is the interface between the transceivers and the antenna system. All signals are
filtered before transmission and after reception by means of band pass filters. The CDU
allows several dTRUs to share antennas. There are a maximum of three CDUs in one RBS
2106.The CDU combines transmitted signals from several transceivers, and distributes the
received signal to several transceivers. The CDU is hardware-prepared to support EDGE.
Two different CDU types are used in the RBS 2106 to support all configurations:
•CDU-F is a filter combiner intended for high capacity solutions.

• CDU-G can be configured either for high capacity or for high coverage
It is a combiner that can be used for synthesizer hopping.

Number of units: 1 – 3
The various configuration available for cabinets are described using the following system: In
the example above, the cabinet is fitted with 3 CDUs, each connected to 2 TRUs; so there is a
total of 6 TRUs in this case. The CDU is type CDU-F. The RF cables between each CDU and
its associated TRUs are standardized and do not normally change. Each CDU uses a set
of standard RF wiring patterns for connection between each CDU and the cabinet Connection
Field. In the gores and tables in the sections that follow, the cabinets shown are fully
equipped. The configuration consisting of a part of the fully equipped cabinet are also
possible to extract.

• Specified basic radio configurations
• The RBS with any number of dTRUs within the specified range inserted in the specified
position order.

4.3.1 Site Cell Configuration (SCC)


The SCC is a geographical concept describing how an area around one RBS
site is divided into radio traffic areas. The following types of site are defined:
Omni-site Radio coverage in one 360 degree sector, that is in
one area, using one BTS.
2-sector site Radio coverage in two sectors, which is two distinct
areas, using two BTSs.

5.3 E1 Connecting:
E1 is a differential communications interface using either two pairs (TX and RX) connected
through a single RJ-48C connector (also frequently written as RJ48, RJ-48 or RJ48c and also
often incorrectly called RJ-45 or RJ45 - it is an RJ connector with 8 contacts assigned
according to specification RJ-48C) or using two coaxial connections (TX and RX) via two
BNC connectors. To enable reliable transmission and reception over 1000s of metres of cable
between customer premises and telephone exchanges, the data is encoded using HDB3 to
produce a bipolar signal with the required characteristics. Note that timing information (i.e.
the bit clock) is encoded within the signal to enable the receiver to recover a clock and
correctly decode the received data.

6.2 VOLTAGE STANDING WAVES RATIO (VSWR):


VSWR, or voltage standing wave ratio, is a measure of how well the components of the RF
network are matched in impedance. When the impedances are improperly matched, you lose
signal power, which results in weak transmissions, poor reception or both. Maximum power
transfer between two system components occurs when their respective impedances are
matched. If the impedances are not identical, some RF power will be reflected back, resulting
in a reduction in the amount of power delivered to the load. These reflections cause voltage
standing waves.

There are two way to measure VSWR.

6.3 Feeder Cable (Coax cable)


Coax cable, coaxial feeder is normally seen as a thick electrical cable. The cable is made
from a number of different elements that when together enable the coax cable to carry the
radio frequency signals with a low level of loss from one location to another. The main
elements within a coax cable are:
1.Centre conductor
2.Insulating dielectric
3.Outer conductorOuter
4.protecting jacket or sheath
The overall construction of the coax cable or RF cable can be seen in the diagram below and
from this it can be seen that it is built up from a number of concentric layers. Although there
are many varieties of coax cable, the basic overall construction remains the same:

The DC/DC converters are optional equipment that can supply
−48 V DC to equipment with a power rating of up to 400 W installed in the transmission
space. Number of units: 0–2
3.12 Battery Backup
The BBS 2116 is an ideal backup solution that can supply backup power to two RBS 2116 cabinets
simultaneously. The cabinet matches the RBS 2116 in size and has room for a large battery
capacity. The optional climate system ensures that the battery is kept at the right temperature
to prolong long battery life .The BBS 2116 is also compatible with most Ericsson outdoor
RBS cabinets, such as the RBS 2106i, RBS 2106 V3, RBS 3106, and RBS 3116.Alternative backup
systems for the RBS 2116 include the BBS 8500 and BBS 8500C.

7.1Conclusion
A large amount of today’s telecommunication consists of mobile and short distance wireless
applications, where the effect of the channel is unknown and changing over time, and thus
needs to be described statistically. Therefore the received signal can not be accurately
predicted and has to be estimated.
Modern biotechnology and IT have received much attention, due to their perceived
importance in stimulating innovation-led growth. Indeed, many readers likely already have
ideas about the lessons which 'everyone knows' should be drawn from biotechnology and
telecommunication. To stimulate biotech, you need lots of basic science, small companies
some venture capital, and outstanding science-based ideas that sell on the world market. To
stimulate telecommunication systems, you need a big company which is leading in a range of
technologies, competent bureaucrats and/or operators to define future directions for
innovation, and users which come up with new, unexpected uses for the hardware. Many
practitioners have set out to act upon such recommendations, leading to strategic moves by
both government policy-makers and firm leaders. This 'accepted' interpretation may be
largely correct. Yet we would argue that this special issue provides somewhat different
