BTS Installation & Commissioning
BTS Installation & Commissioning
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

MINI-LINK CN is optimized for end sites, single hops, and enterprise. There are a number of
MINI-LINK CN products, for example, MINI-LINK CN 210, MINI-LINK CN 500 and
MINI-LINK CN 510. Each of them is easy to install, and is specifically optimized for a
certain type of site.

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.

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
lessons, which may challenge 'accepted truths'. This section will consider general remarks in
terms of the three themes discussed in the introduction as well as specific implications from
each article, in turn.
