Nokia MetroSite 50 BTS provides optimised coverage for rural, suburban and roadside areas as well as in-fill for traffic hot-spots. Simple site concept and versatile installation options for both indoor and outdoor locations ease the site acquisition and reduce the need for site planning and site lease costs. Nokia MetroSite 50 BTS is an up to 3-sectored BTS, which supports the following configurations: 1+1+1 ROC, 1+1 ROC, 2-Omni and 1-Omni. Nokia MetroSite 50 BTS offers the operators the possibility to save in site and network building costs. Nokia MetroSite 50 BTS offers a macro 3 sector BTS coverage with micro BTS size. Sectorised uplink improves the uplink budget by 5 dB, which means a 50% increase in coverage compared to Omni BTSs. This means that fewer BTS sites are required, thus saving network building costs. The possibility to locate the BTS close to antennas to minimize the feeder losses improves both uplink and downlink performance. The support for Masthead Amplifiers (MHAs) minimize the feeder losses, further improving the BTS's performance in uplink. Pole and wall mounting allow easy and fast installation without any special constructions. This saves site costs. Vertical and horizontal installation capability optimises the installation to a small space. Small size also allows for hidden installations in public locations like parks, for example.

Applications
Suburban area BTS site
Nokia MetroSite 50 BTS 1+1+1 ROC configuration is optimal for low population rural and suburban areas. It enables building a cost-optimised site solution which is fast and easy to install, yet it offers a wide coverage comparable to a macrosized BTS. Due to the BTS's small size and unobtrusive appearance it is possible to utilise a wide variety of installation locations.
Roadside location BTS site
The building of cost-effective roadside coverage is one obvious application area for Nokia MetroSite 50 BTS. To accommodate roadside coverage, a Nokia MetroSite 50 BTS cabinet with 1+1 ROC configuration can be installed on a pole by the road with the antennas directed to follow the road.
Infill or hotspot site
Nokia MetroSite 50 BTS provides in-fill coverage for 3G network. Typically, infill coverage is needed when there are gaps in the network, when there is a need to build sites in dense urban areas, or when an extremely fast network rollout is needed. For example, a 2 Omni configuration installed on a rooftop site provides the required additional coverage.

Nokia has planned its whole WCDMA infrastructure with the existing mobile networks in mind. This means that co-siting with the existing GSM/EDGE equipment and utilisation of the existing infrastructure have been the key drivers in standardisation and BTS design. Special attention has been paid to areas like ATM/IP transmission, antenna system implementation, power systems, fast rollout and utilisation of existing BTS sites.
4.2
BTS architecture
In the uplink path, the BTS receives signals from the UE; in the downlink path, the BTS sends signals to the UE. Uplink and downlink signals travel through the air interface (Uu) on different frequencies, the higher frequency carrying downlink signals.
Uplink path
The antenna picks up a signal from the UE through the air interface. The antenna passes the signal to the optional MHA and Bias-T units and further on to the antenna connectors at the BTS cabinet bottom. The signal then goes through the Antenna Filter Unit (WAF) to the Transmitter and Receiver Unit (WTR). The WTR unit converts the received signal to a digital format and sends it to the baseband unit for further processing via Summing and Clock Unit (WMC) to the allocated Signal Processing Unit (WSP) unit. The WSP sends the processed signal to the Application Manager Unit (WAM), which passes the signal to the ATM Cross-connect Unit (AXU). The AXU unit sends the signal to the Interface Unit (IFU), which then passes the signal through the Iub interface to the RNC.
Downlink path
The RNC receives a signal from the network and sends the signal to the IFU unit over the Iub interface. The IFU unit passes the signal to the AXU unit. The AXU unit then switches the signal to the allocated WAM unit for ATM termination. The WAM unit unpacks the ATM frame and sends the signal to the allocated WSP unit for digital processing. The WSP unit sends the processed signal to the WTR unit via the WMC unit. In the WTR unit, the signal is converted from digital to analog and modulated to the carrier frequency. The WTR unit then sends the signal to the Power Amplifier Unit (WMP), which amplifies the signal and passes it on to the WAF unit. The WAF unit sends the signal to the antenna connector located at the bottom part of BTS cabinet. The signal then goes through the optional Bias-T and MHA units to the antenna, which passes the signal through the air interface to the UE.

Transmission
Transmission interfaces
Transmission functionality is integrated in the WCDMA BTS. The transmission between the RNC and the BTSs (Iub interface) is based on ATM. It is possible to use the already available PDH or SDH based transmission networks (for example E1, STM-1 and so on). The WCDMA ATM Iub traffic can be transported over the existing transmission systems by using inverse multiplexing (IMA). IMA combines 2/1.5/6.3 Mbit/s connections to one ATM connection, and vice versa. There is no immediate reason to change or modify the existing access network, except for the necessary capacity upgrades due to increased traffic. The RAN (BTS-RNC) transmission can be based on star, chain, tree and loop topologies. The physical transmission links can be shared between the WCDMA generated traffic and the second generation mobile traffic and fixed traffic. Each Nokia MetroSite 50 BTS has an integrated ATM switch, called the ATM Cross-connect (AXC) Node, for communication between the sectors inside the BTS, towards the RNC, and towards other BTSs. The AXC is constructed of one AXU unit and one Interface Unit (IFU). The AXU unit performs the main ATM functionality for the communication within the BTS and provides the connections to other network elements. The IFUs provide the physical connection to the network. The IFUs currently available for Nokia MetroSite 50 BTS are the IFUs A/C/D/E and F. They support the following transmission interfaces respectively:
.
E1/JT1 STM-0/STM-1 E1 Nokia Flexbus
There is one slot for IFU available in Nokia MetroSite 50 BTS.

Local management
Element manager SW is used for managing Nokia WCDMA BTS commissioning, supervision, maintenance, and testing, as well as transmission configuration. The element manager SW includes Nokia WCDMA BTS Site Manager (see the figure below) and AXC Manager for transmission management. They are integrated so that the physical interface (cable and connectors) are the same but there are two different applications running on the PC. The Manager PC is connected to the BTS by means of an Ethernet connection.

6.2
Configuration management
Once the BTS is in normal operation, a polling process is used to check the possible changes in the BTS configuration. The information in the HW database changes when units are added or removed from the BTS. If the initially detected units do not respond to the normal autodetection polling, they are reported to be faulty.

6.3
Software updates
Nokia WCDMA BTS can store two SW packages in its memory. SW can be loaded either locally with the element manager SW, or remotely from the RNC or Nokia NetAct (via the RNC). Local SW downloading is typically done only when Nokia NetAct connection is missing, that is during the commissioning. Nokia WCDMA BTS SW can be downloaded as a background operation without interrupting the BTS operation. The new SW can be activated at any time suitable for the operator. Only downloadable SW is used in Nokia WCDMA BTS. The SW can be downloaded and updated from Nokia NetAct. This procedure is centralised, which means that several BTSs can be upgraded with the new SW either simultaneously or one by one. Nokia WCDMA BTS keeps the current and the previous SW package in its flash memory. In the case of, for example, a power cut, the current SW package will be brought into use from the flash memory in a few seconds.
6.4
External alarms and controls

The BTS inputs and outputs can be configured and tested locally on the Nokia WCDMA BTS site with the element manager SW. There are 24 user-definable external inputs and 6 user-controllable outputs available. These can be freely configured to support different observation or control needs at the BTS site. In normal operation, the BTS's external alarms and control outputs are managed from Nokia NetAct after they have been configured.

RF units
Transmitter and receiver unit
On the transmitting side, the Transmitter and Receiver unit (WTR) receives digital data from the Signal Processing unit (WSP) via the Summing and Multiplexing unit (WMC). It performs modulation and upconversion for the signal. On the reception side, WTR performs channel selection and down conversion for the selected carrier. The received signal is digitized, demodulated and passed to WSP via WMC. Two separate TRXs in one WTR unit can be used independently from each other. The TRXs can operate on the same frequency or, if necessary, on different frequencies. This enables flexible usage of TRXs between sectors and cells.
Power amplifier unit
The Power Amplifier Unit (WMP) is a single/dual carrier amplifier with an operating bandwidth of any 5/10 MHz section on the whole 60 MHz WCDMA allocation. In WMP, the signals received from WTR are amplified linearly and distributed to the Antenna Filter Unit (WAF).
Antenna filter unit
The Antenna Filter Unit (WAF) combines and isolates transmission and reception signals to one main antenna and one RX diversity antenna. Additionally, the received signals are amplified inside the unit. Basic WAFA/B unit contains a receiver multicoupler with four outputs for the main branch and four outputs for the diversity branch. There are separate WAF unit versions available for 1+1+1 ROC and 1+1 ROC configurations. 1+1+1 ROC configuration uses WAFG unit, which combines the functionalities of three basic WAF units and a three-way power splitter. WAFG has three outputs for main branch and three for diversity branch. 1+1 ROC configuration uses WAFH unit, combining the functionalities of two basic WAFs and a two-way power splitter. WAFH has two outputs for main and two for diversity branches.
8.3

Iub accuracy requirement

To meet the BTS Air interface accuracy requirement +/- 0.05 ppm (set by 3GPP), the Iub interface must meet the long-term accuracy of +/- 0.015 ppm. This kind of accuracy is attained if the network master clock (PRC) fulfills the ITU-T recommendation G.811 and the synchronisation of the network is correct. The maximum jitter/wander of the Iub interface is specified in the ITU-T recommendation G.823. Another possibility is that the BTS master clock reference comes via the AXU reference clock interface. The Iub accuracy requirement above also applies for the AXU reference clock interface.
