OVERVIEW
Background
3G System Overview
With the fast growth of wireless services and the rapid expansion of Internet services, the wireless communication system has to meet increasing demands for system capacity, data transmission rate and strong support for diverse services. The 3G mobile communication system (IMT2000) draws the attention of the whole industry. The major feature of 3G mobile communication system is the support of broadband service, especially the multimedia data service efficiently using frequency spectrum. The 3G system is designed to provide a larger system capacity and better communication quality than 2G systems, implement seamless roaming around the world, and provide subscribers with multiple services. Mainstream technical standards for the 3G are CDMA2000, WCDMA and TD-SCDMA. The CDMA2000 standards are usually implemented technically in two phases. In the first phase, the CDMA2000 still adopts the spread spectrum rate of CDMA ONE, i.e., 1 1.2288Mbps. A single carrier occupies 1.25MHz bandwidth. It adopts DS spread spectrum technology. The CDMA2000 system in the first phase is also called CDMA2000 1X. In the second phase, the spread spectrum rate is 3 /6 /9 /12 1.2288Mbps, respectively occupies 5/10/12/15MHz bandwidth. It adopts multi-carrier modulation technology. The CDMA2000 system in the second phase is also called CDMA2000 3X. In addition, the 1xEV-DO Rev.A, which serves as an enhanced standard supplemental to IS2000, supports data transmission up to 3.1Mbps in a bandwidth of 1.25 MHz.

1.1.2

Overview of the CDMA2000 All-IP Network


The evolution from traditional networks to All-IP networks helps network builders and operators offer more flexible service platform functions at lower costs. All-IP networks, when integrated with 3G wireless access technologies, enable provisioning of multimedia services over IP (including VoIP), giving network builders and operators competitive edge.

Technical Description of ZXC10-BTSB (I1)

The overall structure of the CDMA2000 All-IP network consists of the radio access network and the core network. The evolution of the core network is independent from that of the radio access network. The CDMA2000 network evolves to All-IP network in several phases: Phase-0, Phase-1, Phase-2 and Phase-3. Phase-0 is a traditional network based on circuit switching. The access network is based on IOS 4.x, the air interface is based on cdma2000 and the core network is based on TIA/EIA-41. Since Phase-1, the core network separates from the access network, forming independent signaling layer and bearer layer. The access network signaling is transmitted over IP. Phase-2 corresponds to the LMSD (Legacy MS Domain) phase, which requires the IP network to support traditional terminal services and provide new service functions (such as TrFO/RTO) for users using new terminals. Phase-3 corresponds to the MMD phase, and is the end point of the evolution to All-IP. In this phase, the air interface based on IP is implemented and finally IP-based transmission is realized throughout the network.

Such a way of phased and independent evolution offers flexibility to operators, and better supports the network transition policy of the traditional telecom operators.

1.1.3

Introduction to the ZXC10-BSSB

Super BTSB
Multiple BTSs are needed to achieve a large area coverage due to limited coverage of a single BTS in the traditional networking architecture. Furthermore, each BTS consists of the BDS and RFS. In this case, the BSC needs to provide each BTS with a set of independent Abis interfaces. However, the ZTE All-IP BTS supports to configure a super BTS: The extraordinarily powerful base band processing capability can be realized in a site. In this way, its forward/reverse services can be distributed to the RFSs scattered in different places. A remote RFS can be installed outdoors and it (capable of supporting multiple carriers and multiple sectors) is equivalent to an old macro BTS. Therefore, a super BTS can replace several or even dozens of macro BTSs. In addition, because only the BTS and a few RFSs are installed indoors, the expense for the equipment room is largely reduced, facilitating the maintenance work. Super BTS which can handle up to 120 carrier-sectors.

MAIN FUNCTIONS
BTSB possesses powerful functions such as radio resource assignment, control and power control.

3.1

Radio Resource Assignment


Radio resource assignment involves CDMA2000 1x and 1xEV-DO system. For CDMA2000 1x, it refers to radio channel assignment, WALSH code assignment, CE (channel element) assignment and frame offset assignment. In terms of limited resources, the order should be radio channel, CE, frame offset and WALSH code in turn, and the first two are easy to be limited, while the last two have enough resources. For 1xEV-DO, it refers to dispatching of forward traffic channel, MaxcIndex assignment, reverse CE assignment and reverse frame offset assignment. Radio resource assignment is completed by CCM (Communication Control Module) database.

3.2

Radio Resource Control


Radio channel configuration data of BTS cells reside on CCM foreground database, and after CCM is powered on, it reads these configuration data from the FLASH or background database, and foreground database subsystem will manage these configuration data. CE initial configuration; Configuration of control channel; Configuration of traffic channel. For CDMA2000 1x system, it includes FCH operation and operations for F-SCH and R-SCH.

3.3

Power Control for CDMA2000 1x


Power control means to control the actual transmission power of the mobile phone or BTS in radio transmission to keep it as low as possible, to reduce the power consumption of mobile phone and BTS and the interference of the entire CDMA network. Needless to say, the prerequisite of power control is to ensure the good communication quality of the ongoing calls. We will briefly introduce the power control process through Fig. 4.

ZTE Confidential Proprietary

17

Technical Description of ZXC10-BTSB (I1)

Figure 4 Illustration of Power Control

As shown in the above figure, a mobile phone at point A is relatively far from the transmitting antenna of the BTS, while the transmission loss of electric wave in the space is proportional to the 3rd power of the distance; therefore, to ensure the communication quality, the mobile phone at point A has to use relative high transmitting power during communication. Comparatively, point B is closer to the BTS transmitting antenna, hence smaller transmission loss; so, to obtain similar communication quality, a mobile phone at point B can use lower transmitting power during communication. When a mobile phone in communication is moving from point A towards point B, the power control can reduce its transmitting power gradually. On the contrary, if it is moving from point B towards point A, the power control can increase its transmitting power gradually. Power control can be divided into forward power control and backward power control, either of which is performed independently. The so-called backward power control refers to the control of the mobile phone transmitting power, while forward power control refers to the control of the BS transmitting power. Whether it is forward power control or backward power control, both of them can reduce the interference in the forward or backward direction, and simultaneously decrease the power consumption of mobile phones or BTS by decreasing the transmitting power. And the most obvious advantages shown by them are: the average conversation quality of the whole CDMA network is improved, the network capacity is enhanced and the usage time of the mobile phone batteries is prolonged. In a CDMA cellular mobile communication system, the following power control modes are available: Backward open-loop power control; Backward closed-loop power control; Backward outer-loop power control; Forward closed-loop power control.

3.3.1

Backward Open-loop Power Control


Backward open-loop power control refers to such a process that the MS estimates the path loss of the forward link as the basis for the judgment of the backward link loss by measuring the

ZTE Confidential Proprietary

18

Technical Description of ZXC10-BTSB (I1)

signal power from the BTS, and thereby determines its own transmitting power. That means the backward open-loop power control is intended to eliminate the average link loss and slow attenuation (caused by the shadow effect). The backward open-loop power control algorithm is as follows: In access state, to prevent the MS from transmitting too high power at the beginning, which cause unnecessary interference, the MS first uses the access trial program; In the backward traffic channel state, the open-loop adjustment part of the average output power of an MS varies only with the average input power. To compensate for the average path loss and slow fading, the open-loop power control is provided with a very big dynamic range, which is least 32 dB. In addition, the open-loop power control response time should be neither too fast nor to slow, so as to avoid power waste along with the forward link fast fading. Generally, the response time constant can be 20 ~ 30ms, with the accuracy of 0.5 dB.

3.3.2

Backward Closed-loop Power Control


Since the forward and backward link carrier frequencies are 45MHz apart, which is far over the related bandwidth, the backward link contains losses that have been not eliminated in the open loop and are independent of the forward link. To implement accurate power control, the closedloop power control technology must be used for compensation, that is, that BTS auxiliary MS detects the SNR of the backward traffic channel every 1.25ms, and then compare it with a set threshold to generate the corresponding power control command, inserts it into the forward traffic channel to send it to the MS.

3.3.3

Backward Outer-loop Power control


Backward outer-loop power control is used for dynamic adjustment of the SNR threshold N 0 in backward closed-loop power control. Outer-loop power control is a most characteristics part in reverse power control, it effectively combines the error frame ratio that affects the voice quality with the signal/noise ratio in the reverse closed-loop power control. Therefore the effect of power control is shown not only in the expansion of capacity, but also in the improvement of voice quality. Similarly, there is no specific definition and description about reverse outer-loop power control in the standard, which means that reverse outer-loop power control design has great flexibility and different producers provide different implementation methods.
Eb

3.3.4

Forward power control


The following description is based on an 8K vocoder. For an 8K vocoder system, the information provides for power control contains only power measurement report. If we perform forward power control in the periodical reporting mode, because the control period is long, the

ZTE Confidential Proprietary

19

Technical Description of ZXC10-BTSB (I1)

effect of forward power control is very little. As an effective forward power control algorithm is required to perform as quick control as possible, this system selects the threshold control mode. The forward power control algorithm can be described with the following two rules: Rule 1: If the power measurement report is received, the transmitting power is increased. Rule 2: If no power measurement report is received, the transmitting power is decreased.

During voice communication, what actually affects the voice quality is error frame rate: when the error frame rate is relatively high, users will subjectively feel that the voice quality is worse; when the error frame rate is relatively low, users will feel that the voice quality is better. In a CDMA system, it is defined that the up link error frame rate must not exceed a threshold, which is normally 1%, to ensure the voice quality. This threshold value can be implemented by determination of the ratio between increase of power amplitude and decrease of power amplitude. Based on this, a ideal parameter configuration is: If the communication link receives power measurement report, this channel transmitting power increases 1 dB; if no power measurement report is received, the forward channel transmitting power decreases 0.01 dB.

3.4

Power Control for 1xEV-DO


In 1xEV-DO system, as the forward power is constant, there is no problem of power control. Power control is performed in the reverse channel, which involves open loop power estimation and close loop power correction. The reverse power control has a control over the output power of the accessed terminal to ensure the quality of the reverse link while minimizing the interference and maximizing the system capacity. Only when the average reverse link SNR of each user supports the acceptable performance with the minimum overheads can the system achieves the largest capacity. The power control for 1xEV-DO falls into three parts: Open loop power control: The AT (Access Terminal) determines the condition of the reverse link based on the receiving power of the forward pilot channel, and adjusts the initial transmitting power to compensate the path loss; Close loop power control: The AT feedbacks the power control information in the RPC (Reverse Power Control) based on the demodulation performance of the reverse data, and adjusts the transmitting power of the reverse pilot; Outer loop power control: It is based on the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) of the BSC.

Each AT estimates the total receiving power of the assigned CDMA forward channels. Based on this measurement and the correction provided by the AN (Access Network), the AT adjusts its transmitting power to a predefined level to compensate the path loss of the AN. As for the close loop correction, the AT adjusts its transmitting power to response to each effective power

ZTE Confidential Proprietary

20

Technical Description of ZXC10-BTSB (I1)

control command received on the forward link. In 1xEV-DO system, the AT adjusts its pilot power level based on the information transferred through the close loop power control, and the DRC (Data Rate Control) and ACK (Acknowledgment) channel power vary with the pilot channel power. The relative gains for the traffic, DRC and ACK channels shall be set with sufficient space for the power of the AT. The purpose of the close loop correction is to keep the reverse pilot receiving SNR within the threshold (PCT) or the setting value of the power control in spite of the channel condition, so that the desired PER (Packet Error Rate) can be guaranteed (the nominal PER is 1%). The RPC (Reverse Power Control) is used to adjust the power control threshold dynamically to ensure the 1% PER algorithm for the reverse traffic channel.

3.5

Handoff Control for CDMA2000 1x


In the CDMA2000 cell system, the radio frequency resource multiplexing technology is fully employed to make one area jointly covered by multiple cells. Thus comes forth the concept of cross-cell automatic handoff. For example, when a mobile subscriber moves from the coverage area of one cell to another during conversation, automatic handoff of the channel should be performed so that the call is not interrupted. This process should be preformed without being noticed by the subscriber or the intervention of the subscriber. Since the frequency multiplexing rate of the CDMA2000 cellular mobile communication system can reach 100%, apart from the general hard handoff (handoff between different carrier frequencies), the CDMA2000 cellular mobile communication system also provides the soft handoff function. That is, handoff between the same carrier frequency, which greatly lowers the call-drop rate resulting from handoff and enhances the communication reliability. In addition to upgrading service quality, the soft handoff also improves the voice quality, and increases the system capacity to a certain extent. In the CDMA2000 cellular mobile communication system, soft handoff among up to 6 parties can be supported. In the CDMA2000 cellular mobile communication system, handoff can be classified into the following types: Soft handoff: In this type of handoff, when an MS starts to communicate with a new BTS, the communication with the original BTS is not immediately cut off. A soft handoff must be implemented between CDMA channels of the same frequency; Softer handoff: This is a special case of soft handoff. It refers to the soft handoff between different sectors of the same BTS; Hard handoff: This is the handoff between CDMA channels with different frequencies, channels with different frame offsets and different BSC BTSs. During such a handoff, the MS disconnects from the original BTS and then gets into contact with the new BTS; Other kinds of handoffs: Access handoff, access probe handoff, channel assignment reach soft handoff and MS auxiliary hard handoff and database auxiliary hard handoff. These

21

Technical Description of ZXC10-BTSB (I1)

handoffs diversify and perfect CDMA handoffs, greatly reduce call loss rate, enhance the call connection rate and effectively improve communication quality.

3.5.1

Hard Handoff
ZXC10 BTSB supports all the following hard handoff modes: Handoff between different carriers within the same BTS; Handoff between different carriers in different BTSs within the same BSC; Handoff between different carrier frequencies in different BSCs within the same MSC; Handoff between different carrier frequencies in different BTSs of different MSCs.

The half soft handoff flow is implemented for handoff within the same BSC. Due to resource occupation, no identical carrier frequency is available nor can identical frame offset be used within the destination BTS, it is only possible to select other radio resources. However, in order to reduce the handoff seam without replacing the vocoder, such a handoff is sometimes called half soft handoff. After the air handoff instruction is sent, the radio resource and radio channel of the source BTS must be released.

3.5.2

Soft Handoff
ZXC10-BTSB supports all the following soft handoff modes: Handoff between different sectors of the same carrier frequency in the same BTS; Handoff in the same carrier between different BTSs in the same BTC; Handoff in the same carrier between different BSCs in the same MSC.

3.6

Handoff Control for 1xEV-DO


ZXC10-BTSB supports all the following soft handoff modes: Idle handoff: AT Idle handoff between different cell, different BTS, different BSC/PCF different PDSN; Soft handoff add/ Softer handoff add; Soft handoff drop/ Softer handoff drop; virtual soft handoff A13 handoff between ANs handoff between different subnet intra-AN handoff between 1X network and 1xEV-DO.

BDS (Baseband Digital Subsystem)


Overview
As located between the BSC and the RFS, the BDS serves to connect the BSC via an Abis interface, modulate/demodulate and encode the CDMA signals, and connect the RFS via corresponding interfaces. It also functions to generate and distribute the clock of the entire BTS.

ZTE Confidential Proprietary

Technical Description of ZXC10-BTSB (I1)

It falls into two categories: Master baseband digital subsystem (MBDS) and slave baseband digital subsystem (SBDS). In a BTS, there can only be one MBDS which can own 0 to 4 SBDSs. Therefore, there can be up to five BDS shelves in a BTS. Structure of the MBDS in full configuration is illustrated in Fig. 8.

Figure 8 MBDS in full configuration

Structure of the SBDS in full configuration is illustrated in Fig.9.

Figure 9 SBDS in full configuration

Seen from the figures, the working principle and structure of the SBDS are similar to that of the MBDS except that its configurations are simplified a little. However, with a large capacity DSM in the MBDS, configurations of the DSM in the SBDS is not required, as well as that of the GPS clock. When there is only MDBS, SNM will be configured. The clock of the SBDS is obtained from the MBDS and its Abis data can also be transmitted to the BSC directly or through the MBDS.

CCM (Communication Control Module)


The CCM works in the MBDS shelf and is called as an SCM in the SBDS shelf. As the core of the entire BTS for signaling process, resource management, operation and maintenance, it takes charge of the routes of the data and signaling in the BTS. As the network exchange center, the CCM/SCM provides two independent exchange planes of the media plane and the control plane to ensure non-blocking transmission of the data in the BTS. The control flow takes charge of the signaling transmission between modules in the BTS through the shared Ethernet. The CCM provides the following functions:

Media stream IP communication plane function: Upon media stream exchange, the CCM distributes routes of the voice/packet services between relative modules/units in the BTS and also between the BTS and the BSC; TOD (Time of Date) receiving and broadcasting function: It maintains/controls the GCM, receives TOD messages via UART interfaces and then broadcasts them between the MBDS and SBDS through the IP communication plane (signaling flow); Signaling flow IP communication plane function: It bears the signaling IP packets between relative modules/units in multiple BDSs of the BTS and between the BTS and the BSC; RFS signaling communication: After the RIM of the local BDS shelf receives the signaling through an HDLC (High-level Data Link Control) channel, it conducts the framing processing of the forward base band data of the local shelf and the RFS signaling, and then transports them to the RFS through multiplexed links; The CCM communicates with the active/standby RIM via a serial communication interface to configure it and perform O&M (Operations and Maintenance) management (base band RF interface). It performs direct monitor/control of the status of all the boards in the MBDS rack and indirect monitor/control in the SBDS through the SCM agent using signaling messages. The status includes the in-position indication, running indication, error indication, hard reset, and power-off; Active/standby control: If the CCM adopts the 1+1 active/standby control mode, there should be the active/standby control modules to fulfill the active/standby competition, changeover and control of all the communication channels and external input/output interfaces; Connects with the PWS rack via the communication port; Provides the signaling function.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE


The network management subsystem takes charge of the interfaces between the entire system and the NM (Network Management) at the background. It works with the NMS (Network Management System) to implement BTS-related operation and maintenance, including the fault, performance and version management and other system tools for BTS inspection and maintenance. Main functions of the O&M are briefly shown as follows.

5.1

Performance Management

Networking Modes of BTSB


Abis Interface Networking
The BSS includes two parts, the BTS and the BSC/PCF. The BTS also includes two parts, the local end (such as the BDS and the local RFS) and the remote end. They can be used for networking flexibly in multiple modes, as shown in Fig. 14. The BSC is connected to the BTS via Abis interfaces. Between the BSC and BTS can be the star networking, chain networking and ring networking. Star networking: Each BTS is directly (through the E1/T1 or built-in SDH) or indirectly (through the E1/T1 and then the peripheral transmission equipment) connected to the BSC in the point-to-point mode. It is a simple and reliable way; Ring networking: Multiple BTSs are connected to the BSC in series to form a ring. The ring networking is highly reliable. The E1/T1 interface or the built-in SDH interface can be used physically; Chain networking: Multiple BTSs are linked together to form a chain, which is connected to the BSC through the last BTS. It can be adopted to the banding regions. The E1/T1 interface or the built-in SDH interface can be used physically.

The networking mode between the BTS and the BSC can be a flexible combination of the three network topologies mentioned above. Physically, the interface between the BTS and the BSC can be E1/T1 or the SDH, or a combination of them. In the case of the E1/T1 interface, the DSM is used for termination, while in the case of the SDH interface, the SNM is used. Both the E1/T1 and SDH interfaces support the star, ring, chain or combined networking mode.

Connection via Ethernet at the Abis Interface

Figure 15 Ethernet Connection Between the BTS and the BSC

In addition to the E1/T1 and SDH interfaces for connection of the BSC to the BTS, the Ethernet can also be used when they have a short distance. The BTS and the BSC can be installed in an equipment room. Since the ZTE All-IP single BTS can support services of 120 carrier-sectors, all the BTSs in the entire service area can be installed in the BSC equipment room and they cover the entire cell through several remote RF stations using the fibers. Upon connecting through the Ethernet, complex Abis link compression protocols at both the BSC and BTS sides can be omitted to reduce the cost and improve the reliability.

6.2.3

BDS-RFS Networking Modes


A BTS consists of the BDS and RFS that are comparatively independent. The topology structure between them can be the star, chain, ring or a combination networking, as shown in Fig. 16.

ZTE Confidential Proprietary

44

Technical Description of ZXC10-BTSB (I1)

Figure 16 BDS-RFS Networking Modes

Star networking: The quantity of fibers lead out from the BDS should equal that of the RF stations due to the point-to-point connection mode, and the scale of a RF station is restricted accordingly. For example, with n lines of fibers, the BDS can support n remote RF stations; Chain/ring networking: It allows few fibers to be led out from the BDS, however, the features of the chain networking mode restrict the reliability improvement. Fig. 17 shows the reliability comparison between a chain network and a ring network upon link fault. As shown in Fig. 17, there are 7 remote RF stations and the link between R3 and R4 fails. In a chain network, the data of needs to pass through R3, therefore, they cannot work in such a case. However, if a ring network is in the same situation, R4, R5, R6 and R7 can obtain the data from the BDS in the anti-clockwise direction instead of the clockwise direction to ensure normal running; Fibers can be adopted between the BTS and the remote RF stations upon a long distance connection, which is quite reliable. In addition to the dual-fiber-dual-ring backup mode, the four-fiber backup mode can also be adopted, which is more reliable but requires more fibers.

PWS Configurations
The PWS configuration falls into two cases: If the customer provides the -48V communication power supply, it is not required; If the customer provides the 220V/110V AC, PWS configurations should be conducted as shown in Fig.25: The 220V/110V AC passes the APD, and then passes the PRM after for rectification and conversion into -48V DC to be output. The PMM monitors the power supply.

BTS Clock Technical Indices


Technical indices for the BTS clock are given as follows: Frequency reference: 10MHz. Its accuracy should be smaller than 10-11 in the locked GPS status but 10-10 in the hold status; Temperature: < 0.510-9; Clock Synchronization Source: GPS adopts the dual thermostat crystal to guarantee that the clock can remain stable within a short term in case the synchronization source is lost temporarily or the BS clock is out of synchronization. Here a HOLDOVER algorithm is adopted, which can guarantee that within 72 hours after the loss of GPS synchronization signals, the phase shift will be less than 10s, so that the BS can still keep working normally.
