Basics

1RBS = 3BTS (BTS covers 1 sector cell)

1RBS can handle up to 12 TRXs (1TRX means 1 frequency)

An MO is a logical representation of HW unit and SW of the BTS in the BSC

In most cases one TG handles one RBS

One TG can consist of up to 16 frequencies

TRU (RBS2000) stands for transceiver group, 1 TRU handles one frequency, which
consist of 8 timeslots, each timeslot needs 16kbps bandwidth

AXE BSC :

RL commands used for cell handling

RX commands used for managed object handling

RBS 2206 Hardware overview

DXU-21 Distribution Switch Unit

DXU

Central control unit for RBS

Flashcard makes it possible to change a faulty DXU card, without the need for loading RBS
software from the BSC

OMT is the RBS configuration tool. All the RBS configuration data and the software stored
in flash memory card (size: 32Mb). Configuration file: ldb.dbb.

Distribution Switch Unit Functions

CF Central Function: the control part of a TG. The BSC communicates with the CF using
layer 2 LAPD, address: TEI = 62.

CON LAPD concentration for RBS 2000.

IS Interworking Switch: system interface to the 2 Mbit/s link, connects time slots to
transceivers.

TF Timing Function, synchronization with PCM link and generates a timing reference for the
RBS.

DP Digital Path, Layer 1, each of the PCM systems terminating in TG has an associated
supervision object, the DP.

dTRU double Transceiver Unit

Contains 2 TRXs for transmission and reception of carriers.

built-in combiner with the possibility of combining two TX signals into

one output.

Prepared for RX diversity

dTRU - Transceiver Unit functions

TRXC The transceiver controller is controlling all the functions for

signal processing, Radio receiving and Radio Transmitting.

RX The receiver provides the

functionality for one transceiver.

TX The transmitter provides the radio frequency transmission

functionality on a time slot basis for eight TSs using different time
slot numbers.

reception

CDU & CXU

Combiners (CDU)

Interface between the transceivers (TRU) and the antenna system.

Signals are filtered before transmission and after reception with bandpass
filters.

RBS 2206 maximum 3 CDU

CDU-F used for high capacity solutions (Baseband hopping)

CDU-G is the most common used, it can be configured either for high
capacity or high coverage. It supports synthesizer hopping

Configuration Switch Unit (CXU)

Distributes the RX signal from CDU to dTRUs

Built up SW controlled switches

Makes it possible to reconfigure a cabinet without cable moving

Other Hardware Units

Standard HW units

ACCU-01: AC connection unit

DCCU: DC Connection unit
FCU: Fan Control Unit
IDM Distributes the internal 24V+ DC power to all other units
PSU Power Supply unit
DC filter
Battery Fuse unit (outdoor cabinets)
Climate unit
EPC bus: optical cable bus, for alarm signaling

Optional HW units

ASU (Antenna Sharing unit) is for co-siting, when other cabinet used together with the
RBS 2206 in the same sector
BBS battery backup system from external cabinet
ddTMA improves the receiver sensitivity, duplexing the RX and TX signals to the same
feeder cable. Power supply provided for TMA by bias injector.
DF: over voltage protector for external alarm cables
ESB is used for TG synchronization to expand one RBS cabinet with another RBS in the
same cell
HCU contains 3 hybrid combiners. Each hybrid combines 2 RF signals, delivered from
2dTRU into one
Battery backup, DC/DC converter, DC filter, Smoke detector, Transport module

Master / Slave mode used (RXMOI: TFMODE
parameter)
TFCOMPPOS is the distribution delay between the
master and slave TG , value depends on the

A cell can be internal or external.

External cells: certain data must be known in order to carry out a handover from a
cell in its own BSC to a cell controlled by another BSC.

Useful cell handling commands:

RLDEI:CELL=cell, CSYSTYPE=[GSM900, GSM1800, GSM800, GSM1900], ext;

The workaround in this case to halt cell, block and take MOs out of service, and then
activate everything again.
Halt the cell (Cell restriction active alarm will present):
RLSTC: CELL=GA4134C,STATE=HALTED;
Block and take out of service MOs for TG:
RXBLI: MO=RXOTG-204,SUBORD,FORCE;
RXESE: MO=RXOTG-204,SUBORD;
Take in service and deblock MOs for the TG:
RXESI: MO=RXOTG-204,SUBORD; (This command needs a few minutes to be executed)
RXBLE: MO=RXOTG-204,SUBORD;

We have 29 TCH for FR, it should be 30, something is still wrong. (We have 4
frequencies for the cell, 8 timeslot for each, this means 32 timeslots, but 1 is occupied
by BCCH and an other one by SDCCH, so we have 30 TSs for TCH)

We have 20 hopping frequencies, that's way the maximum for MAIO is 19

HSN HOP

Frequency Hopping types

In baseband hopping each

transmitter is assigned with a fixed
frequency.
At transmission all burst jumping from
one transmitter to the other
independently of the connection
The number of the frequencies can be
used for hopping = The number of
transmitters
Narrow-band combiners can handle
12 (16) transmitters.

In synthesizer hopping one transmitter

handles all frequencies belongs to the
same connection
The number of frequencies can be used
for hopping is independent from the
number of transmitters
Each TRX is configured to hop over a
large amount of frequencies (20 for
example)

Frequency hopping definitions

Random hopping sequence - > pseudo-random sequence

63 independent sequences, parameter HSN specifies which sequence will be used

Length of sequence ~ 6 minutes

Each transceiver in the same channel group in the same cell will be assigned with the same HSN (they
hop in the same way).

Avoid interference -> using an offset in the hopping sequence, called Mobil Allocation Index Offset
(MAIO).

CHGR: a group of frequencies handled in the same way within one cell. Channel group 0 contains the
Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) and is automatically defined at cell definition.
