History 1G FDMA (NMT, AMPS, TACS) 80’s

- Voice (analog traffic, digital signaling)

2G TDMA (GSM, D-AMPS, PDC) and CDMA (IS-95) 90’s - Voice, SMS, CS data transfer ~ 9.6 kbit/s (50 kbit/s HSCSD)

2.5G TDMA (GPRS) 00’s - PS data transfer ~ 50 kbit/s 2.75G TDMA (GPRS+EDGE) 00’s - PS data ~ 150kbit/s

3-3.5G WCDMA (UMTS) and CDMA 2000 00’s - PS & CS data transfer ~ 14-42 Mbit/s (HSPA/HSPA+), Voice, SMS

3.9G OFDMA (LTE/SAE) 10’s - PS Data and Voice (VoIP) ~ 100Mbit/s

LTE – Targets High data rates

– Downlink: >100 Mbps – Uplink: >50 Mbps – Cell-edge data rates 2-3 x HSPA Rel. 6 (@ 2006)

Low delay/latency – User plane RTT: < 10 ms RAN RTT (fewer nodes, shorter TTI) – Channel set-up: < 100 ms idle-to-active (fewer nodes, shorter messages, quicker node resp.)

High spectral efficiency – Targeting 3 X HSPA Rel. 6 (@ 2006 )

Spectrum flexibility – Operation in a wide-range of spectrum allocations, new and existing – Wide range of Bandwidth: 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz, FDD and TDD

Simplicity – Less signaling, Auto Configuration e-NodeB – ”PnP”, ”Simple as an Apple” Cost-effective migration from current/future 3G systems State-of-the-art towards 4G Focus on services from the packet-switched domain

Element Manager requirements

– Web browser (Netscape, Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox)

– CPP Nodes operating on L10 level software require a Element Manager running on JRE version 1.5.0_12 or later, see http://java.sun.com/products/archive

– Windows Vista, English Version, Windows 2000, Service Pack 2, English Version or Windows XP, English Version

– Local Administrative rights – Ethernet connection for 10/100 BaseT – FTP Client for functions such as retrieving Product

Inventory log files, Uploading basic software to a node or retrieving the dump from the flash disk of the node. Some examples of FTP Clients are FileZilla, FTPPro.

– Any kind of Network Time Protocol, NTP, client.

Java Run Time Environment (JRE)

There is a need to install a local Java Run Time environment (JRE) on the PC.

The following versions are supported

– JRE 1.5.0_12 or later

JRE are available on http://java.sun.com/products/archive

JRE 1.5 is also called JRE 5.0 and is included in the JDK 5.0 and J2SE 5.0 packages.

Command Line Interface - CLI

CPP-specific administrative interface.

CPP: Connectivity Packet Platform

A Set of shell commands which are handled by a UNIX

shell-like command interpreter.

Some examples of CLI commands: – ifconfig Check the RBS IP address

– formathd Format the Hard Disk

– vii Display Visual Indicator (LED) Status

– vols Display the volumes information
