CommonInstallationPractices
RF cables should not bend on a radius of less than 6 times the outside diameter of the cable. Avoid sharp bends in wires that have been marked with the hot stamping process. All wiring needs to be protected from damage. Coaxial and triaxial cables are particularly vulnerable to certain types of damage. Personnel should exercise care while handling or working around coaxial. Coaxial cables can be damaged if they are clamped too tightly, if they are bent sharply (normally at or near connectors). Coaxial can be severely damaged on the inside without any evidence of damage on the outside.
54
NEVER: kink a coaxial cable. drop anything on a coaxial cable. step on a coaxial cable. bend a coaxial cable sharply. loop a coaxial cable tighter than the allowable bend radius. pull on coaxial cable except in a straight line. use coaxial cable for a handle, lean on it, or hang things on it (or any other wire).

SiteReadiness ExternalGrounding
56
Grounding of the site is the responsibility of the customer. All grounding and power connections should be made according to local standards. Several factors affect external grounding. The most significant factor is the resistance of ground rods, which is directly related to soil resistivity in the immediate vicinity of the rod. The resistivity of the soil determines how many rods are needed and their dimensions. To provide maximum external site grounding for the Macro BSS rack, a ground ring must be installed around the site structure. The ring must be buried at least 77 cm (30 in.) below grade or below the frost line of the installation, whichever is greater. The ring must be a buried, horizontal wire completely encircling the equipment shelter. This wire must be made of solid tinned copper of #2 AWG or larger. The AC power ground conductor must be bonded to the ground rod located at the service entrance. Ground lugs provided in all service entrance equipment must be bonded to the service ground conductor. The system ground and neutral must be bonded at one location only, as close as is practical to the service entrance. All service grounding must conform to local electrical codes.

Enablingnetworkstoreachnewmarkets 58 ConfidentialInformation
The antenna cable connection points are on the rack bulkhead (top of rack). There is a single connection plate for all antenna cables. The antenna cables are connected to the rack at the antenna and GPS cable connection plate. There is a separate antenna connector for each sector (ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA) and two ports (MAIN, DIVERSITY) per sector for a total of six antenna connectors. The number of supported FA does not change the number of antenna cables. The Antenna Combining System (ACS) in the BSS rack manages the signals. A BTS processes the signals for a single FA. The BSS rack will have a BTS for each FA.

Primary BTS Without GPS Connection

For the BTS, configuring the BTS SNTP interface requires configuring the SNTP server IP address. A single BTS acts as an SNTP server for the other BTSs attached to the same BSC. The first BTS to be configured should act as the SNTP server (sntpServerIp = 0.0.0.0). In the case of multiple BTSs, the primary BTS acts an SNTP server for the other BTSs attached to the same BSC. Set the value of sntpserverIp on subsequent BTSs to the IP address of the initial BTS (SNTP server).
Warning: BTS time configuration without GPS is not recommended by Star Solutions. The transmitted frequency may drift over time violating local (for example, FCC) regulatory standards.

The pilot database includes information about all the cells connected to the BSC. The BSC uses the pilot database to perform soft-handoffs and hardhandoffs. The sectorInfoTable and the neighborListTable are a snapshot of the internal pilot database.
519
The pilot database includes the information of all the cells connected to the BSC. Each cell connected to the BSC periodically sends to the BSC a set of Abis messages including the list of active sectors and their neighbors. All this information is organized in the pilot database. The BSC uses the pilot database to perform soft-handoffs and hard-handoffs. The sectorInfoTable, neighborListTable and the cfsNeighborTable (to follow) are a snapshot representation of the internal pilot database. These tables are refreshed every few seconds to show a relatively updated view of the pilot database for the manager. The pilot database is automatically maintained by the BSC with the assistance of the information uploaded from the deployed cells. The manager is not able to modify the pilot database in any form. Therefore, the handoff mechanisms at the BSC rely on the configuration of the cells.

CSM
535
numberOfInstalledCsms: Number of CSM ASICs in the BTS. Generally, a 3-sectors BTS would contain 6 CSM ASICs, and a 1-sector BTS would contain 2 CSM ASICs. The BTS only uses the number of CSM ASICs defined in this parameter, starting from CSM ASIC number 0 (zero). During startup, the BTS initializes and configures each CSM ASIC (starting from CSM ASIC number 0) until all the CSM ASICs defined by this parameter have been successfully initialized and configured, or until the BIT of a CSM ASIC fails. If a BIT of a specific CSM ASIC n fails, then only the CSM ASICs from 0 to n-1 will be used.
5-35
iCell IIC
PP1SSource
536
PP1S signal source selection. The BTS synchronizes to the external PP1S signal coming from the interface defined in this parameter. The BTS is able to synchronize to the external PP1S signal generated by the GPS receiver, and that signal can be transported over a COAX cable or over an LVDS mechanism (using spare CAT5 lines). Note: The LVDS interface is not formally supported. InternalPP1S is for Star Solutions use only.

SectorInfoTable
538
The sector information parameters include a set of tables, which define the properties of every sector in the cell. Each table contains certain parameters related to different aspects of the sector configuration, such as the general sector parameters, neighbors, Sync Channels, Pilot Channels, Paging Channels, Quick Paging Channels, etc. The sector tables include an entry for each available sector in the BTS. Each sector is identified by its number (from 1 to 6), which is represented by the table index. The picoCell BTS supports only one sector, and the iCell BTS supports up to 3 sectors. Each sector in the BTS shall be configured by the manager. NOTE: The table of sectors is not automatically constructed by the BTS according to its physical configuration. If a sector is physically available but it is not properly configured in the sector table, then the sector is not used by the BTS.
5-38
iCell IIC
PNOffset
539
Pilot PN sequence offset in units of 64 PN chips. PILOT_PN values should be set consistent with the setting of PILOT_INC. The maximum number of possible PILOT_PN values is equal to 512 / PILOT_INC. The actual absolute values for the PILOT_PN do not matter, as long as they are spaced by a minimum of PILOT_INC. The network should be planned so that numerically close PILOT_PN values do not appear geographically near by. This could cause problems where timing errors and large multipath delays make different (but close) PILOT_PN values to appear to be the same. Where reuse of the PILOT_PN values is required, there should be sufficient geographic separation to ensure that their coverage areas are sufficiently separated. All pilots shall be a multiple of PILOT_INC.

CDMACellIdentifier
543
Cell identifier of the BTS - The cell identifier represents the 12 most significant bits of the IOS Cell Identifier, as defined in TIA/EIA/IS-2001.4-B. The coding of the cell identity is the responsibility of the operator and has to be data-filled in the MSC.
5-43
iCell IIC
CDMAFREQ
544
CDMA channel frequency of the BTS. This field shall be set to the CDMA channel number corresponding to the CDMA frequency assignment for the CDMA channel. This parameter determines the center frequency of the sector transmit waveform. It determines (along with BAND_CLASS) the exact CDMA center frequency. Note that using an invalid channel will prevent the system from starting up properly.

RegistrationPeriod
552
The lower end for mobile networks, the higher end for fixed wireless networks. The REG_PRD field is included in the System Parameters Message (SPM). The regPrdInd parameter shall be set to regPrdEnabled(1) for the regPrd to take effect. This parameter should be set a value 3 to 4 times less than the corresponding VLR timeout. This is so that mobile stations have the opportunity to make multiple registration attempts to prevent the VLR from throwing away its record.
5-52
iCell IIC
HomeRegistration
553
Autonomous registrations are power-up, power down, timer, zone, and distance based registration. The HOME_REG field is included in the System Parameters Message (SPM).
5-53
iCell IIC
PowerUPRegistration
554
Power-up registration is performed when the mobile station is turned on. Power up and power down registrations are always required to be enabled for the network to be aware of the mobile station status. Notes: The POWER_UP_REG field is included in the System Parameters Message (SPM). To prevent multiple registrations when power is quickly turned on and off, the mobile station delays 20 seconds before registering after entering the Mobile Station Idle State. The mobile station maintains a power-up/initialization timer. While the powerup/initialization timer is active, the mobile station does not make registration access attempts.
5-54
iCell IIC
PowerDownRegistration
555
Power-down registration is performed when the user directs the mobile station to power off. The POWER_DOWN_REG field is included in the System Parameters Message (SPM). If power-down registration is performed, the mobile station does not power down until after completing the registration attempt. The mobile station does not perform power down registration if it has not previously registered in the system that corresponds to the current SID and NID.
5-55
iCell IIC
InterfacesObjects
The BTS is configured with a list of BSC units in the cluster. For each configured BSC, the BTS establishes an Abis connection. The list of BSC units shall be ordered in such a way that the first BSC in the list is recognized as the "primary BSC, which serves the calls for this specific BTS. All new incoming registrations and call originations (i.e., Access Channel messages) are routed by the BTS to its "primary" BSC. Although the BTS is connected to all the BSC units in the cluster, only the "primary" BSC is in charge of the call processing functions for the BTS. All other Abis connections to other BSC units in the Cluster are used for soft-handoff or for redundancy.
556
If an Abis connection to the first BSC in the list cannot be established, or if the Abis connection fails, then the BTS uses the next BSC in the list as its "primary BSC. New incoming registrations and call originations (i.e., Access Channel messages) are routed to the new "primary" BSC (the second BSC in the list). If the second BSC in the list fails, then the BTS selects the third BSC in the list, and so forth. Once the Abis connection to the first BSC in the list is re-established, the BTS starts using the first BSC as its "primary" BSC again. This mechanism provides some level of redundancy for BSC units. In case of failures, the BTS selects another BSC to route new incoming calls.

iCell IIC
SNTPTable
558
Definition of the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) interface parameters The BTS uses the Time-Of-Day (TOD) and the 1 second signal to synchronize the CDMA system time. The TOD can be retrieved from an external GPS receiver (see parameter gpsPeripheral) or from an SNTP server in the local IP network. If parameter gpsConnectedIndicator is set to gpsNotConnected(0), meaning that the external GPS receiver is not directly connected to the BTS, the BTS tries to retrieve the TOD from the SNTP server defined herein. If the GPS receiver is not directly connected to the BTS so the BTS tries to retrieve the TOD from the SNTP server, but the IP address is set to 0.0.0.0, then the BTS will use the system time defined in systemTimeHigh and systemTimeLow. These parameters define the initial system time during the BTS initialization procedure when no external Time-Of-Day (TOD) source is used. These parameters are for debug purposes only, and should be used for special cases only.
