to your system.Today users expect the same communication services regardless of whether they are sitting in their offices, staying at home or on the move. The third-generation Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) sat-isfies these user expectations with regard to multimedia services, m-commerce and global mobility.Siemens and NEC offer a comprehensive and mature product portfolio to meet customer expectations in all phases of the operation of an UMTS network. The reliable base of this strategy is Siemens extensive GSM expe-rience and NECs early market entry in Japan. Moreover, Siemens is ahead of the competition having shown complete UMTS functionality in various pilots on customer premises.Standard compliance is the key to a multi-vendor environment and guarantees interoperability between different network components. Siemens and NEC have strongly influenced the standardization of UMTS by 3GPP and support the maintenance and further development of this project. Their products provide interfaces which are fully compliant with the 3GPP standard.With the growing speed of UMTS deployment and upcoming refarming scenarios (i.e. utilization of existing cellular bands for deployment of UMTS e.g. UMTS@900 MHz) the need for a fast and cost effective deployment of UMTS is growing.Siemens existing GSM and GPRS networks can easily be upgraded to the third generation and permit both GSM and UMTS services simultaneously. Seamless 2G to 3G network communication becomes a reality. 16 A50016-G5000-H200-01-7618ND-57282-708(E)-01TED:UTRAN CommonId:0900d80580118dd7Introduction1.1 Brief Description of the Siemens/NEC UTRAN SolutionThe UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) consists of Radio Network Controllers (RNCs) and Node Bs, as standardized by 3GPP.Node Bs connect the User Equipment (UE) to the UTRAN via the radio interface. In turn, Node Bs link up to an RNC, see Figure 1. Siemens/NEC FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) Node Bs are most favourable for providing coverage and a large bundle of services at the beginning of the 3rd generation mobile network operation. The Node B product portfolio includes macro- and micro-cells in solely 3G networks as well as mixed 3G/2G net-works. The Siemens/NEC FDD Node B product portfolio supports the global IMT-2000 spectrum as commonly used in Europe and Asia (including Japan and Korea). For countries where operators with 2G networks already use this spectrum (such as the PCS band in Northamerica), Siemens/NEC offers solutions to implement 3G services within the existing bands by replacing part of the spectrum with 3G systems (also known as reframing).Figure 1 The UMTS Radio Access Network (UTRAN)The RNC manages the UTRAN in respect of mobility and service quality. It supports a variety of handover mech-anisms and includes functions to provide best Quality of Service to the users equipment. The Siemens/NEC RNC can link up with hundreds of Node Bs via dedicated (E1/J1/T1) or multiplexed (STM-1/OC-3) Iub interfaces. Different RNCs are interconnected through the 3GPP Iur interface.The UTRAN is connected to the UMTS core network via a high-speed ATM interface (Iu interface). All network elements and their individual configurations are administered by enhanced network management, which combines the management of both 3G and 2G networks in one platform.Siemens/NEC UMTS products are designed to be future-proof from the very beginning. For instance, Node Bs and the Radio Network Controller can easily be upgraded from the current ATM-based standard to a future end-to-end network that is entirely IP-based.to NetworkCoreUTRANIuInterfaceto NetworkCoreUEUuInterfaceIubInterfaceIubInterfaceIubInterfaceNode BNode BNode BIuInterfaceIurInterfaceRNCRNCUEUuInterfaceUEUuInterface A50016-G5000-H200-01-7618ND-57282-708(E)-0117TED:UTRAN Common IntroductionId:0900d80580118dd71.2 Who Should Read the TED:UTRANThis technical description is intended for anyone who would like to get an overview of: Benefits of using the UTRAN Technical capabilities of the UTRAN1.3 Where to Look for Which InformationChapter 1 of this manual offers a short introduction to the UTRAN including Customer Benefits, and Overview of the UTRAN Product Range. and 2G/3G Co-Operation.Descriptions of the interfaces used and the UTRAN functions are given in UTRAN Description.

Focusing on the operational aspects of the 3G W-CDMA network, Siemens/NECs latest UTRAN release provides an extended set of parameters and counters for network tuning, radio resource monitoring and transport network management. Based on the leading edge Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) compliant versatile NB architecture new micro-/pico-RRHs are available supporting dedicated solutions for indoor and outdoor scenarios including deployment scenarios of extended RRH distance. The common Radio Commander applications for 2G and 3G introduce usability improvements for the RC GUI, enhanced diagnostic capabilities and remote data handling.Siemens/NECs latest UTRAN release provides the means to significantly increase utilization of Iub interface in order to handle the strongly increasing traffic volume of high speed data services with the introduction of HSDPA in a very cost efficient way.With Siemens/NECs latest UTRAN release user/service prioritization and service specific 3G/2G HO is sup-ported. This enables network operators to apply their service/pricing concept or release resources in case of over-loaded 3G W-CDMA network.Table 1 summarizes the highlights of Siemens/NECs latest UTRAN release.New Features and Services Cost of Ownership Platform and Technology HSDPA Evolution HSDPA Mobility Enhancements HSDPA Resource and Power Management HSDPA Scheduler Evolu-tion (QoS) Cell-specific Handover Parameters Transport Network Optimization HSDPA Traffic Separation and UBR+ IP / Ethernet at Iub (PWE)* Service & Load Based Handover Traffic steering / Load Balanc-ing Multistandard Network 2G/3G Basestation Radio Server @ GSM (RSCU-380) 2G/3G Radio Commander RC/OTS RNCi Rel. 1 (RN-880) Outdoor Macro Radio Server (RS-881) High Power RRH (20W) Pico RRH-pi Extended Fiber Length for RRH (40km) 3 Carriers / Sector 900 MHzTable 1 Highlights for world market A50016-G5000-H200-01-7618ND-57282-708(E)-0119TED:UTRAN Common IntroductionId:0900d80580118dd71.5 Operation and Maintenance of UTRANThe Siemens/NEC Operation & Maintenance Centre (OMC), known as Radio Commander (RC), introduces a new concept for Mobile Network Element Management. One of its key advantages is its common platform concept, allowing the management of both 2G and 3G networks on the same operation and maintenance platform. Given a sufficient configuration, the whole network can be handled by just one RC. Equipment can be easily grouped for specific OMCs to optimize the structure of the OAM landscape, 2G/3G operators can group all network equipment for a certain area, regardless of the technology, into one RC.The combination of Siemens/NEC Radio Commander, RNCs and Node Bs offers a self-contained UMTS solution with maximum coordination between the individual network elements. As a result, Siemens/NEC UTRAN products provide a convenient and reliable portfolio of UMTS radio access network elements that is easy for the operator to handle.Major new characteristics of the RC architecture for 3G UTRAN include common Operation and Maintenance management for Node B and for RNC functionalities as well as capabilities for managing the ATM transport network.In spite of these specifics, due to the inherent technology characteristics of each technology, the utmost care has been taken to provide: Same functionality for all supported radio network technologies Homogeneous representation to the operatorCommon management for GSM and UTRAN equipment consists of the entire range of management functional-ities, such as starting off from a similar display and handling of both GSM-BSS and UTRAN network alarms, and extending to homogeneous configuration handling, e.g. display and handling of bi-technology network topologies.Also covered are features such as common logs for all connected network elements with global search and retrieval, common state management based on a comfortable maintenance state approach and common fault and performance management facilities.Network elements and RCs can be managed in different time zones in a consistent and simple way. For time zone handling the UTC (Co-ordinated Universal Time) is consequently used and the NTP (Network Time Protocol) is supported. Consistent denomination of time at GUI, database and files according to national specifics is ensured.Finally, the RC also provides the unique entry point for data from both the GSM-BSS and UTRAN Radio Networks and mediates it to an upper-layer Network Management Centre (NMC). 20 A50016-G5000-H200-01-7618ND-57282-708(E)-01TED:UTRAN CommonId:0900d80580118dd7Introduction1.6 Overview of the UTRAN Product RangeSiemens/NEC UTRAN products provide a family of macro and micro FDD Node Bs and Radio Servers for area coverage as well as hotspot cells and a corresponding RNC: Macro FDD Node B (NB-440/NB-441) Macro FDD Node B (NB-420) Micro FDD Node B (NB-341) Macro FDD Node B (NB-530) Macro FDD Node B (NB-880/NB-881/NB-881 HR) Macro FDD Node B (NB-860/NB-861) Macro Radio Server (RS-880) 19 Micro Radio Server Slider Unit (RSSU-380) Micro Radio Server Carrier Unit (RSCU-380) Micro Radio Server (RS-381) Macro Remote Radio Head (RRH-m/RRH-mh) Micro/Pico Remote Radio Head (RRH-pi) Radio Network Controller (RN-750) Radio Network Controller (RN-880)All network elements incorporate features for the optimum re-use of the existing 2G infrastructure, such as trans-mission links, operational procedures, and operation and maintenance interfaces.Versatile Node B architectureA versatile Node B architecture is supported based on the DRIC-CAT concept, which enables up-to-date technol-ogies in linear amplifier research such as digital predistortion. This features a noticeably higher efficiency resulting in a lower power consumption of the whole Node B. The DRIC-CAT concept replaces the transceiver cards (TRX), power amplifier (LPA) and repeater card (REP), For an illustration see Figure 54, Figure 55, Figure 56, Figure 57.The modules DRIC (Digital Radio Interface Card) and CAT (Combined Amplifier and Transceiver) are connected by a digital high-speed interface called the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI). Now, sites can be flexibly planned with configurations using Node B Radio Servers and Remote Radio Heads or the standard Macro or Micro Node B scenario.The CPRI interface is a unique radio driven interconnect point in radio base stations, which offers the following benefits: Varying Radio Base Station architectures for very flexible solutions, e.g. distributed architectures and remote tower mounted radio concepts Additional deployment scenarios Efficient network deploymentRemote Radio Head (RRH) solutions offer the following benefits: Feeder loss in the downlink direction is diminished by the short distance between RRH antenna connector and RRH. The uplink quality is also improved superseding a TMA. OPEX reduction due to reduced power consumption and optimizations in operation and maintenance Flexible number of sectors and antenna sites Easier site acquisition due to reduced requirements for Node B locations (flexible fibre optic cable, longer dis-tances between Node B/Radio Server and antenna location possible, lower acoustic noise emission for radio server)Radio Servers provide the full functionality of Node Bs in conjunction with Remote RRHs. A complete base band shelf with DC-Panel is mounted into a server rack reducing the acoustic noise emission and the necessary space for installation. The RF functionality of the Node B is incorporated in a RRH. The RS/RRH configuration represents a versatile Node B architecture for flexible site planning. RS and RRHs interact via the technology leading Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI).
