9311 Macro ID configurations

This part describes the Node B RF configuration types.

In the digital shelf, the following hardware upgrades are possible:

CCM, iCCM, iCCM-2, and xCCM modules are interchangeable.

iCCM and iCCM-2 are mixable.

Note:iCCM-2 and xCCM cannot be mixed.

The duplex feature requires two iCCM/iCCM-2 modules.

The 9311 Macro ID configurations are the following:

Omni Transmission-Sectorial Reception (OTSR) configuration

Omni Transmission-Bi sectorial Reception (OTBR) configuration

Bi sectorial Transmission-Bi sectorial Reception (BTBR) configuration

Sectorial Transmission-Sectorial Reception (STSR) configuration

OTSR configuration

OTSR is the smallest configuration. It uses a single Power Amplifier and a 3-way

Transmit Splitter to transmit in the three directions. Each emitted signal has the same

power. On emission, the OTSR configuration is an equivalent to an omni-directional

transmission, thus the Node B is declared at the RNC as a single cell. On reception, the

OTSR configuration is equivalent to one of a 3-sector Node B in permanent 3-way softer

handover. Search and combination are systematically performed by one of the three

received signals. The OTSR configuration is only supported in UMTS 2100.

Note: The OTSR configuration is not supported with xCEM boards.

OTBR configuration

OTBR configuration is obtained from OTSR configuration. It consists in doing an OTSR

depopulation. On emission, the OTBR configuration is an equivalent to an

omni-directional transmission. On reception, the OTBR configuration is equivalent to one

of a 2-sector Node B in permanent 2-way softer handover. It uses a single Power

Amplifier and a 3-way Transmit Splitter with an adaptative 50-ohm load to transmit in the

two directions. The OTBR configuration is only supported in UMTS 2100.

BTBR configuration

BTBR is the standard two-sector configuration. It is obtained from STSR configurationand consists in doing an STSR depopulation. The Node B is logically declared at the

RNC as two cells. The Power allocation with BTBR configuration is independent across

sectors.

STSR configuration

STSR is the standard three-sector configuration. The Node B is logically declared at the

RNC as three cells. The user equipment reports the measurements for the three sectors

and softer handover is controlled by the network.

The power allocation with STSR configuration is independent across sectors.

How to populate a Node B from an STSR1/BTBR1 configuration to an

STSR2/BTBR2 configuration?

To populate a Node B from an STSR1/BTBR1 configuration to an STSR2/BTBR2

configuration the following frequency ranges are considered:

In Uplink, two TRMs are needed. Each TRM receives one frequency carrier.

In Downlink, a simple upgrade from STSR1/BTBR1. The additional TRM is not used

for transmission. The existing TRM is configured to generate three 2-carrier signals

(for STSR2 configuration) or two 2-carrier signals (for BTBR2 configuration). In case

of a TRM failure:

Left hand TRM (initial TRM): the Node B could be re-configured in

STSR1/BTBR1

Right hand TRM (additional TRM): no operation

To upgrade an STSR2 configuration to an STSR2+1 configuration, do the following:

Replace the two iTRMs with two xTRMs/xTRMs-2, or add one xTRM/xTRM-2 to

the existing xTRM/xTRM-2

Resize the CEMs

Add three MCPAs

Configure an additional frequency carrier (f3)

Configure three more cells (7, 8, and 9)

To upgrade an STSR1+1 configuration to an STSR2+1 configuration, do the

following:



Resize the CEMs

Configure an additional frequency carrier (f3)

Configure three more cells (7, 8, and 9)

To upgrade an STSR1+1 configuration to an STSR2+2 configuration, do the

following:



Resize the CEMs

Configure two additional frequency carriers (f3, f4)

Configure six more cells (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12)

The 9311 Macro ID supports the OTSR1, OTBR1, BTBR1, BTBR2, STSR1, STSR2,

STSR3, STSR1+1, STSR2+1, and STSR2+2 configurations.

Note: One xTRM can be used instead of two iTRMs. (See expandable TRM

(xTRM) (p. 6-57)

The additional TRM/iTRM (bottom TRM/iTRM) is used for reception only (Tx = 0). It

receives one frequency carrier (Rx = f2). The initial TRM/iTRM (top TRM/iTRM)

transmits two frequency carriers (Tx = f1, f2) and receives one frequency carrier (Rx =

f1).

STSR2 configuration is a two-frequency configuration in which both frequencies share

the same power amplifier for a given sector.

In STSR2 configuration, the two frequencies (f1 and f2) comply with the following rule:

4.6 MHz


50/230

STSR1+1 configuration is a two-frequency configuration in which each frequency has its

own separate power amplification path. Therefore, STSR1+1 configuration delivers twice

as much RF power offered by STSR2 configuration. Compared to STSR1 configuration,

STSR1+1 configuration provides a capacity increased by two, whereas STSR2

configuration provides a capacity increased by approximately 1.6.

In STSR1+1 configuration, the two frequencies (f1 and f2) comply with the following

rule: 4.6 MHz


51/230

STSR3 configuration is a three-frequency configuration in which both xTRMs/xTRMs-2

transmit the three frequency carriers (Tx = f1, f2, f3). One xTRM receives two frequency

carriers (Rx = f1, f2) and the other xTRM receives the third frequency carrier (Rx = f3).

In the case of MCPAs 60W, each frequency carrier has a Tx capacity of 20W, when

equally configured.

101 mode: f1 + f2 + f3 at 20W + 0W + 20W

The 101 mode is not supported at full RF power (30W + 0W + 30W)In STSR3 configuration, the three frequency carriers (f1 < f2 < f3) must be contiguous,

which means the following:

4.6 MHz


53/230

STSR2+1 configuration is a three-frequency configuration in which two frequency

carriers share the same power amplification path, whereas the third frequency carrier

has its own power amplification path. Therefore, STSR2+1 configuration delivers

twice as much RF power offered by STSR3 configuration.
