Uplink and downlink signalling

In the uplink path, the BTS receives signals from the MS. In the downlink path,the BTS sends signals to the MS. Uplink and downlink signals travel through theAir interface on different frequencies, with the higher frequency carryingdownlink signals.

The uplink signal path involves the following actions:

. The antenna picks up a signal from the MS through the Air interface.

. The antenna passes the signal to the optional Masthead Amplifier (MNxx)and Bias Tee (BPxx) units or to the optional Dual Band Diplex Filter(DU2A) unit.

. The signal passes through either the Dual Variable Gain Duplex Filter(DVxx) or Remote Tune Combiner (RTxx) unit to the ReceiverMulticoupler (M2xA or M6xA) and Transceiver RF (TSxx) units.

. The Transceiver module (TRX) on the TSxx unit converts the receivedsignal to Intermediate Frequency (IF) levels and filters the signal.

. The TSxx unit then sends the signal to the Transceiver Baseband (BB2x)unit for digital signal processing.

. The BB2x unit sends the processed signal to the Transmission (VXxx)unit, which transmits the signal to the BSC utilizing standard transmissiontechnologies.

The downlink signal path involves the following actions:

. The BSC receives a signal from the core network and sends the signal tothe VXxx unit using standard transmission technologies.

. The VXxx passes the signal to the BB2x unit for digital signal processing.

. The BB2x unit sends the processed signal to the TSxx unit.

. The TRX module on the TSxx unit filters the signal, raises it to the carrierfrequency, and amplifies it.

. The TSxx unit then sends the signal either to the RTxx unit or through theoptional Wideband Combiner (WCxA) unit to the DVxx unit.

. The DVxx or RTxx unit sends the signal through either the optional DU2Aunit or the BPxx and MNxx units to the antenna, which passes the signalthrough the Air interface to the MS.

The signals are multiplexed and cross-connected to a level of 8 kbit/s in the BTSusing the Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH).

Radio-link transmission

The FXC RRI unit is the radio-link transmission unit for Nokia UltraSite EDGEBTS. The unit has two Flexbus interfaces for connecting:

. one or two microwave radio outdoor units

. two FXC RRI units in different BTS cabinets or transmission nodes

. one FXC RRI unit to another transmission device offering a FlexBusinterface (such as FIU19)

The proprietary Nokia Flexbus is a coaxial cable that:

. carries power for the radio outdoor unit

. carries a maximum of 16 x 2 Mbit/s in both directions

. has a maximum cable length of 300 metres

. is compatible with Nokia FlexiHopper Microwave Radio and NokiaMetroHopper Radio

Wireline transmission

Cellular access networks are based mainly on the E1 (ETSI) and T1 (ANSI)standards. E1 capacity is 2 Mbit/s, and T1 capacity is 1.5 Mbit/s. Nokia UltraSiteEDGE BTS supports these standards with the following wireline transmissionunits:

. FC E1/T1 � 120 © twisted pair for E1 or 100 © twisted pair for T1, 75 ©coaxial for E1

. FXC E1 � four 75 © coaxial for E1

. FXC E1/T1 � four 120 © twisted pair for E1 or 100 © twisted pair for T1

Any combination of up to four FXC E1, FXC E1/T1, or FXC RRI units can beused in one UltraSite EDGE BTS cabinet. Only one FC E1/T1 unit can be used inone UltraSite EDGE BTS cabinet, without the possibility of using any additionalFXC unit.

Fibre-based transmission



21 (279)


FXC STM-1 and Bridge units are fibre-based transmission units, with opticalinterfaces. FXC STM-1 has two L-1.1 long-haul optical STM-1 interfaces. Inaddition, the FXC Bridge unit has a test interface. The FXC STM units do nothave separate Q1 management interfaces, but instead, they are managed locallyvia the local management port (LMP) of Nokia BTS or Nokia MetroHub, orremotely via the Nokia Q1 bus.

The main features of the FXC STM-1 and FXC Bridge units provide support for:

. automatic laser shutdown (ALS).

. both SDH STM-1 TM and STM-1 ADM node types.

. fully non-blocking cross-connections on TU-12 level between both STM-1aggregate interfaces and the add/drop traffic.

. SDH S12 SNC/I+ (Inherently monitored subnetwork connectionprotection), that is, protection on the VC-12 level.

. up to 20 x TU-12 (2M) drop capacity from SDH.

. grooming via PDH cross-connections for the add/drop traffic with thefollowing granularity: 8k, 16k, 32k, 64k, Nx64k.

. interface statistics collection in compliance with ITU-T G.826.

. easy management of settings and transmission configuration (locally andremotely) with the Nokia Q1 management protocol. Management is carriedout with a Nokia NetAct compatible node manager.

. remote and local software download.

Network configuration

For information about UltraSite EDGE BTS configurations, see Overview ofconfigurations for UltraSite EDGE BTS.

The BTS uses the following transmission units:

. FXC RRI

. FXC E1

. FXC E1/T1

. FC E1/T1

. FXC STM-1

. FXC Bridge




FXC RRI unit

With two radio-link Flexbus connections per unit, the FXC RRI unit operates as arepeater and interconnects Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS cabinets and the BSCusing loop, chain, star, and point-to-point network configurations. Each FlexBusinterface has a capacity of up to 16 x 2M, dependent on the capacity of themicrowave link and if the FlexBus is used for direct interconnection to a differentFlexBus interface.

FXC E1 or FXC E1/T1 or FC E1/T1 unit

With four wireline connections per unit (E1 has 2Mbit/s capacity, and T1 has 1.5Mbit/s capacity), the FXC E1 or FXC E1/T1 unit operates as a branching pointand interconnects Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS cabinets and the BSC using theloop, chain, star, and point-to-point network configurations. With up to four FXCE1 or FXC E1/T1 units per cabinet, a single cabinet supports a maximum of 16wireline connections. The FC E1/T1 unit can be used as a termination point in achain, star, or point-to-point network configuration. Because it has one wirelineconnection, only one FC E1/T1 unit per BTS cabinet is supported. And, it is notpossible to deploy FXC units together with the FC E1/T1 unit.

FXC STM-1 and FXC Bridge transmission units

The FXC STM-1 and FXC Bridge transmission units allow cross connectionsbetween PDH (Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy) and SDH (Synchronous DigitalHierarchy) transmission rates. The units work together to form a complete SDHSTM-1 terminal multiplexer (TM) or add-drop multiplexer (ADM) node insideNokia base stations or Nokia MetroHub transmission nodes. FXC STM-1performs the main SDH functions, whereas the FXC Bridge forms a bridge forthe signals between the SDH part and the PDH cross-connect part of the node.The two units are always used together.

Co-located Nokia Talk-family

A co-located Nokia Talk-family BTS can connect to Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTSusing the integrated E1/T1 interface or Flexbus. During the upgrade phase, theNokia Talk-family transmission interface to the BSC can provide the Abiscapacity for the Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS. This configuration, however, limitsthe capacity and expandability of the BTS. Therefore, it is recommended that theAbis capacity for the Nokia Talk BTS is connected through the Nokia UltrasiteEDGE BTS transmission Hub.



23 (279)


Cross-connections

The BTS integrated transmission Hub does provide the cross-connectfunctionality and granularities necessary to create a transmission network thatsupports the specific needs of GSM/EDGE. The maximum DXC capacity of theBTS integrated transmission Hub is 56 x 2 Mbit/s. Various cross-connectiongranularities are supported down to a level of 8kbit/s. 16kbit/s cross connects canbe used, for example, to cross-connect the BTS signalling links or BTS O&Mchannels when the bandwidth is 16kbit/s.

Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS can handle the following cross-connectiongranularities:

. 8k (1 bit in a time slot)

. 16K (2 bits in a time slot)

. 32K (4 bits in a time slot)

. 64K (all 8 bits in a time slot)

. n x 64k

. 2M

Note

All 2Mbit/s interfaces are terminated, which means that TS0 is not crossconnected but regenerated. Only the 2Mbit/s cross-connections that are madefrom FlexBus to FlexBus inside one FXC RRI are transparent.

Note

VC-12 is a virtual container inside VC-4 with a capacity of 2 Mbit/s.

Protection

The BTS-integrated transmission Hub supports protection functions againsttransmission problems, such as cable cuts, equipment faults, or fading radio links:




. Transmission network protection using loop topology

. Hot Stand By (HSB)

. Lazy transmitter changeover

Transmission network protection using loop topology

Nokia loop protection is an efficient way to protect traffic in a transmissionnetwork, such as a GSM BSS. In a live telecommunication network, it isimportant to secure, in addition to actual payload traffic, the networksynchronisation and the centralised network management during any period ofabnormal circumstances.

For these reasons, Nokia loop protection protects:

. Payload traffic

. Network synchronisation

. Network management connections

Hot Stand By (HSB)

HSB is a method of equipment redundancy in which two radio transmitters arekept ready (switched on), so that if one fails, the other one immediately picks upwhere the first one left off.

In single use, the signal is not protected against equipment or propagation faults.In the event of a fault, the connection remains broken until the equipment fault isrepaired or the cause for the propagation fault vanishes. HSB provides protectionagainst equipment faults.



25 (279)


Figure 8. Nokia FlexiHoppers with FXC RRI, 1IU/2OU HSB (only one directionshown)

Lazy transmitter changeover

Lazy transmitter changeover is a protection method against transmitter faults thatcannot be detected by the equipment itself, for example, a faulty antenna. TheFXC RRI unit sends periodic notifications to the far-end about the radio signalquality. Lazy transmitter changeover is performed, if there are errors in thetransmitted data over a specified time interval that are caused by the near-endtransmitter.

2.14 Configuration and combining options of UltraSiteEDGE BTS

2.14.1 Overview of configuration and combining options of UltraSite EDGEBTS

Note

The cable routing illustrated in the figures is for reference only. The installerdetermines routing during installation.




2.14.1.1 Combining options

Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS supports various combining options. You canconfigure Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS in the following ways:

. Combining Bypass - No signal combining is used.

. Wideband Combining (WBC)

- 2-Way WBC - Signals from two TSxx units are combined into oneantenna using one WCxA unit.

- 4-Way WBC - Signals from four TSxx units are combined into oneantenna using two parallel WCxA units in series and a single WCxAunit.

. Remote Tune Combining (RTC)

- Signals from six TSxx units are combined into one antenna with oneRTxx unit.

- Signals from twelve TSxx units are combined into two antennas (aseparate antenna for RX diversity is unnecessary). Two RTxx unitsare needed.

. Dual Band Combining (GSM 800/1900 or 900/1800 in the same cabinet)

- Use any WBC or RTC combining option within each band.

- DU2x combines RX/TX signals into one antenna (optional).

. Horizontal Sectoring (combining signals from different cabinets)

- Use any WBC or RTC combining option.

2.14.1.2 Cabinet configurations

To accomplish these combining options, Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS supportsvarious cabinet configurations.

Various cabinet combining configurations include:

. 1+1+1, DVxx, Combining bypass

3.14 Technical description of UltraSite EDGE BTS co-siting with Talk-family RF diversity kits

An RF diversity cable kit allows antenna sharing between an existing Talk-familyBTS and an UltraSite EDGE BTS. The UTAA cable kit (468790A) is the basic RFdiversity kit that is used with all co-siting configurations. Depending on theconfiguration, up to three UTAA cable kits may be required.

Some configurations require the use of splitter kits. There are two different kitsavailable: SPKA and RSKA. SPKA is used in splitting RF diversity cablingbetween UltraSite DVxx - M2xA, UltraSite M2xA - Talk TRX, and Talk RMU/AFE - UltraSite TRX. RSKA is used between RTC and RMU in Talk-familyBTS.

Following is a general illustration of diversity sharing cable connections in aTalk-family cabinet. The Citytalk BTS is used for depiction purposes.

5 Configurations for UltraSite EDGE BTS

5.1 Overview of configurations for UltraSite EDGE BTS

The choice of network configuration depends mainly on the requirements fortransmission media and availability. The loop network configuration is the mostreliable, providing excellent protection against equipment failures and radio-linkfading.

Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS directly supports all network configurations�loop,chain, star, point-to-point, and mesh. Separate transmission nodes areunnecessary, because the Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS cabinet can hold up to fourintegrated transmission units.

Each BTS cabinet uses the FXC transmission units to add or drop capacity toother sites. The integrated transmission can groom traffic and serve as a PDHloopmaster. Cross-connections to 8 k granularity and grooming at the BTS furtheroptimise transmission capacity.

5.5 Overview of configurations for Nokia ITN

ITN is the abbreviation for Integrated Transmission Node. It is a synonym for theuse of FXC transmission units within Nokia BTSs and Nokia MetroHub, as thesame FXC units are used within these products to build a transmission node. WithITN units deployed in a BTS hub, chain and tail sites can be supported withoutadditional cabling and a site support cabinet, which would be necessary if anexternal third party transmission node were used. MetroHub is well integratedinto a consistent transmission network solution for radio access networks, as ituses the same ITN units. Further, it is also possible to chain MetroHub to a NokiaBTS for providing a cost-efficient branching solution for micro-BTS sites.

Taking a few capacity limitations into account, flexible node configurations canbe created with ITN that serve the diverse needs of the operator within radioaccess networks:

. There can be only one FXC Bridge and FXC STM-1 unit per cabinet.

. FXC Bridge and FXC STM-1 units are always used together.

. The FXC RRI unit has a maximum add/drop capacity towards the cross-connection bus of 16 x 2M, when the unit is used as the node master unit(left most slot position) or as a slave unit.

- When FXC RRI is being used as the master unit within a BTStransmission Hub, the add/drop capacity is 13 x 2M.

- When FXC RRI is being used as the master unit within a MetroHub,which is chained to a BTS, the add/drop capacity is 15 x 2M.

. The FXC STM-1/FXC Bridge units provide an add/drop capacity towardsthe cross-connection bus of 20 x 2M.

5.6 Example site configuration: with SDH transmission

One of the easiest and most cost efficient solutions to enhance the coverage andexpand the network is branching. Branching means add/dropping digitaltransmission channels to other transmission paths in chain and tree networks.With FXC STM-1 and FXC Bridge an SDH solution is provided for connecting abase station (BTS) to optical fibre and for the branching of PDH lines. Inbranching, specific VC-12 channels are separated from the STM-1 frame signaland used for generating a new E1/Flexbus frame for the subsidiary branch.

6.2 Technical description of transmission capacityexpansion

In addition to being transmission nodes, the BTS transmission Hub or MetroHubserve as flexible transmission capacity reserves in the network, enabling rapidrevenue growth by easy and flexible expansion of capacity with minimisedimplementation time and cost.

The growing amount of traffic in the network requires flexible transmissioncapacity expansion. This is accomplished by adding transmission units into thetransmission node when needed. With these transmission units, the transmissionnode can be connected, for example, to eight Nokia FlexiHopper (Plus) radios,with up to 16 x 2 Mbit/s capacity each, or to eight Nokia MetroHopper radios,with 4 x 2 Mbit/s capacity each. The radio connections are made through a singleFlexbus cable that carries the payload and the radio power feed.



203 (279)


The maximum interface capacity of Nokia MetroHub is 222 x 2 Mbit/s, with 2FXC STM-1 and 6 x Flexbus interface. Of the total capacity 56 x 2 Mbit/s can becross-connected between FXC units. In addition, bypass cross-connects aresupported for the FXC STM-1 and FXC RRI units to cross-connect additionalcapacity transparently. The maximum interface capacity of UltraSite BTS Hub is190 x 2 Mbit/s, with the same cross-connect capacity as MetroHub.

It is also possible to connect the transmission node to other transmissionequipment through sixteen E1 or T1 connections. Furthermore, severaltransmission nodes can be chained using a single coaxial cable.

6.3 Technical description of transmission unit cross-connections

Cross-connections define how signals are routed from an FXC transmission unitto another transmission unit. Cross-connections are created into banks, which areeither active or inactive. The cross-connections in the active banks are in use,whereas those in the inactive bank can be used for creating new or editing alreadyexisting cross-connections.

The SDH cross-connection block performs cross-connections on the VC-12 leveland generation of clock and frame sync signals for the buses.

Cross-connection bus

The transmission units offer dynamic allocation and deallocation of the 56 x 2Mbit/s cross-connection bus of MetroHub and UltraSite EDGE BTS according tothe physical interfaces that are present in the node configuration. The user cancreate cross-connections between any physical interfaces connected to the cross-connection bus.

When the first cross-connection is created to the interface, the 2M cross-connection block is allocated to it. If there are no free blocks to be allocated, thenode gives the alarm 20 Blocked from use.

Backup

The active cross-connection bank is backed up in the transmission unit's non-volatile memory: if the unit is removed, the cross-connections are restored whenthe unit is inserted again.

Grooming

The cross-connection feature of the transmission units makes traffic groomingpossible.



205 (279)


The FXC transmission units are capable of grooming traffic at 8 kbit/sgranularity, which enables fully optimised and flexible use of the availabletransmission resources. This ensures that the Abis transmission capacity can beused efficiently.

Cross-connection granularities

There are several types of cross-connections available, and each has a differentgranularity.

Granularity means the bit rate at which a cross-connection is made, that is, thenumber of bits connected into a specific direction in a cross-connection. In 2Mbit/s mode, the available granularities are:

. 8k (1 bit)

. 16k (2 bits)

. 32k (4 bits)

. 64k (all 8 bits in a time slot)

. n x 64k

. 2M

Note

All 2 Mbit/s platform interfaces are terminated, which means that time slot 0 isregenerated.

Note

Only 2 Mbit/s cross-connections that are made from Flexbus to Flexbus inside aFXC RRI transmission unit are transparent.

Note

SDH cross-connections are only possible at VC-12 level granularity.




Basic cross-connection types

The cross-connections are created into banks. The node contains two cross-connection banks.

The transmission units support all the cross-connection types described below.

Figure 58. Basic cross-connection types supported

. B2 bi-directional cross-connection

The B2 cross-connection is a bi-directional connection between two terminationpoints. The granularities are 2M, nx64k, 64k, 32k, 16k and 8k.

. M2 bi-directional masked cross-connection

The M2 bi-directional masked cross-connection is a bi-directional connectionbetween two termination points. The received data stream is masked bit by bitwith fixed data. Masking can be done with a logical AND or OR operation. Themasking is made in both directions. The M2 cross-connection supports 64k, 32kand 16k granularity.

. D1 uni-directional fixed cross-connection

The D1 cross-connection is a uni-directional cross-connection where fixed data issent from the Tx port as shown in the figure above. The user sets the fixed bitpattern used (for example: 01101101) and the time slot where the bit pattern istransmitted. The D1 cross-connection supports 64k, 32k, 16k and 8kgranularities.

Cross-connection protection

The B2 cross-connection can be protected. Protection means that the data paththrough the network element has two alternative routes. The protected bi-directional cross-connection is called the PB2 cross-connection.

Figure 59. Protected bi-directional cross-connection

Note

Setting up a bi-directional protected cross-connection for SDH is necessary forsetting up a SNC/I+ protected VC-12 path.

When a protected bi-directional cross-connection is made, both the switch anddata duplicating cross-connections are created. Data received from the reliableport is duplicated and sent to both the protected and protecting port. Theswitching decision is made according to the incoming value of the selectedcondition bits (pilot bits).

The granularities for protected cross-connections are n x 64k, 64k, 32k and 16k.

The port selection is called a switch. After creating the switch, the user mustdefine the switching condition. The supported conditions are priority and equal.

For more details on loop protection, see Technical description of PDHtransmission network protection using loop topology.

6.4 Technical description of the node control unit

When any of the FXC transmission units is inserted into unit slot 1, itautomatically starts to function as the node control unit. The role of the unit isthus only determined by the slot position. The node control unit provides acommon clock to which all other FXC units synchronise. An FXC unit mustalways be used in unit slot 1 for the configuration to work.

Note

The FXC STM-1 unit cannot be used as the node control unit and it should neverbe installed in slot 1.

6.5 Technical description of the synchronisation ofFXC transmission units

Synchronisation is needed to be able to make cross-connections on sub-2M levelwithout causing slips in transmission. It is recommended that the synchronisationinput is taken from an upper network element, typically a base station controller(BSC) in the BSS. Also the synchronisation of base stations (BTS) in the BSS canbe done via transmission equipment. If there is an SDH transmission layer used inthe BSS, synchronisation of the SDH equipment is also needed.

Therefore an FXC node in the BSS is always synchronised to a referenceprovided by the BSC. The BSC head-end transmission node is synchronised via a2M payload signal or a 2 MHz synchronisation input from the BSC, anddistributes the synchronisation further to other network elements in the BSS. Incase of an FXC STM node, this is done via STM-1 signals.

Synchronisation functions are configured using Nokia management applications.

Synchronisation of transmission nodes equipped with FXC (PDH) units

In a transmission node equipped with only FXC (PDH) units, all platforminterfaces can be used as a synchronisation source. The clock is selected based onavailability and priority from a four-level priority list, generated by the useraccording to the current network configuration. If none of the recovered lineclocks in the priority list is available, all the FXC units are synchronised to theinternal oscillator of the node control unit.

Synchronisation of transmission nodes equipped with FXC (PDH) and FXCSTM-1 units

In a transmission node equipped with both FXC (PDH) and FXC STM-1 units,the node clock functionality is split between the PDH node clock and the SDHnode clock. In normal operation the PDH node clock is synchronised to the SDHnode clock. The synchronisation of the BTS towards the BSC is established as theNokia BTSs are synchronised to the PDH node clock. If the SDH node clock isnot available (for example, due to unit fail), the FXC (PDH) node clock masterruns on its own internal oscillator.

The FXC STM-1 transmission unit supports the SDH node clock function. TheSDH node clock can be synchronised to any external STM-1 interface. If FXCBridge is plugged into slot 1, the SDH node clock can also be synchronised to thefirst E1 signal of an FXC E1 or FXC E1/T1 unit (for exampe at a BSC head-endsite).

The SDH node clock supports three modes: locked, holdover, and free-run. Inlocked mode, the SDH node clock is synchronised either to an external STM-1 orE1 interface. In holdover mode, the SDH node clock has lost its controllingreference input and is using stored data (acquired while in locked operation) tocontrol its output. In free-run mode, no synchronisation reference has beenavailable and the node clock master runs on its own oscillator clock.

Available synchronisation sources are chosen in the order of importance. In caseof the SDH node clock function, the highest quality source is used to synchronisethe equipment clock. If several sources of the same quality are available, thesource with the higher priority is used. For PDH node clock function, theavailable reference source with the highest priority is always taken.

Note

If an E1 signal is used as the synchronisation source for a node equipped withboth FXC (PDH) and FXC STM units, the FXC Bridge unit has to be set up asthe master unit and the quality of the E1 signal must fulfil the SDH standardalthough it is an PDH signal. This means that the frequency deviation of the E1signal is only allowed to be ± 4.6ppm (SDH standard) instead of ± 50ppm (PDH



211 (279)


standard). The ± 4.6ppm accuracy of the E1 signal used as reference for the SDHnode clock must be ensured by the network operator. An inaccuracy of more than± 4.6ppm up to approximately ± 20ppm cannot be detected by the SDH nodeclock function. If the inaccuracy is more than ± 20ppm, the node switches to thenext entry in the synchronisation list and the alarm 124 Synchronization fault inclock recovery or 125 Loss of synchronization signal(s) is raised, although thesignal could still be in the valid PDH range of ± 50ppm.

Behaviour of node synchronisation in case of a frequency shift beyond ± 20ppm of the SDH network reference clock

In normal operation the FXC STM node is synchronised to an STM-1 inputsignal with an accuracy of ± 4.6 ppm towards the 155 520 KHz STM-1 reference.In exceptional cases, for example MS-AIS, the STM-1 input signal is allowed tohave an accuracy of ± 20 ppm. Due to a failure of transmission equipment, theSTM-1 input signal may deviate more than ± 20 ppm towards the 155 520 KHzSTM-1 reference, and the signal is still used as a synchronisation source for thenode. In this case, the node switches to the next synchronisation source in thepriority list. When the quality of the network reference clock gets within a validrange for the synchronisation source, the node automatically takes thesynchronisation source into use again. This process can take up to 11 minutes. Aslong as the node is in frequency shift state, the message 'Do not use' is transmittedas the synchronisation status message in the S1 byte of the STM multiplex sectionoverhead.

6.6 Technical description of Q1 management

Nokia Q1 is a Nokia proprietary management protocol and it is backwardscompatible with the currently used Q1. In this information set, Nokia Q1 isreferred to as Q1.Q1 is a polling protocol used for transferring informationbetween a master and a network element. Each network element in a Q1 networkhas a unique Q1 address. The polling master accesses network elements using theQ1 address. This address has to be in the range 0�3999. In the BSS, the BSC istypically the polling equipment. The Q1 group address is used for broadcastingthe Q1 management messages to several pieces of equipment within the samegroup. This is for future usage.These kinds of broadcasting actions could be, forexample, software downloading to several nodes simultaneously.

Nokia MetroHub is a Nokia Q1 network element. MetroHub is a single networkelement with one Q1 address. Even if there are radio outdoor units connected toan FXC RRI transmission unit, they do not have their own Q1 addresses.




The interface unit of MetroHub provides the interfaces for local or remotemanagement of the equipment: LMP (local management port) and Q1. Both portshave their own Q1 address and baud rate settings. LMP and Q1 interfaces areindependent of each other and the node can be accessed from both of theinterfaces at the same time. Two interfaces for LMP and Q1 enable chaining ofboth interfaces with an easy point-to-point cabling.

LMP-1 and LMP-2 interfaces are used for local access with MetroHub Manager.The LMP port has the general address of 4080. This address can be used if theLMP is not chained. The manager uses this address when the Connect Locally...option is selected. If the LMP is chained, a unique Q1 address must be selectedfor the LMP and the connection to the node is established with the Connect...option in the manager.

Q1-1 and Q1-2 interfaces are for remote management of external Q1 equipment.To enable remote management, a transmission channel for Q1 has to be createdwith the manager. This channel is called EOC, embedded operations channel. Thechannel can be transmitted either in the radio overhead or in a selected time slotinside a 2 Mbit/s signal. When the radio overhead is used, the sampling rate isalways at least 64 kHz. With STM-1 the EOC connection is handled in the exactsame way, as you can cross-connect the 2M channel of an STM-1 interfacetowards FXC Bridge.

The following figure shows examples of Q1 network connections. The NMSforms the user interface. Between the NMS and BSC exists, for example, an X.25connection. In this example, the BSC is the polling device. The Q1 data istransported inside a 2 Mbit/s signal between the BSC and MetroHub #1. Then Q1continues towards MetroHub #2. For this there are two options. The first one (A)shows that the Q1 is in the overhead of the radio connection between MetroHub#1 and #2. The second option (B) is that the Q1 is inside a 2 Mbit/s framebetween both nodes. In addition, it is possible to extract the Q1 signal fromMetroHub #1 and poll another Q1 element, in this example: FIU 19.

Figure 62. Examples of Q1 network connections

Local management bus

The local management bus (LMB) connects the node control unit to the localmanagement port (LMP).

Q1 buses in a network

Large Q1 networks are sometimes divided into Q1 buses because of reliabilityand polling time issues. In this case, several Q1 channels are created in thepolling equipment, for example, the BSC. These channels are used to divide thenetwork logically into different Q1 networks.

If Q1 buses are used, the Q1 channels must be considered as normal datachannels up to the place where the Q1 bus usage starts. In the nodes starting fromthe polling equipment up to the place where Q1 bus usage starts, the Q1 channelshave to be cross-connected as normal data. In the nodes that are in the Q1 bus, theEOC is used for dropping the Q1 channel to the node control unit processor, aswell as for forwarding the channel to the next network element.

7 Traffic Protection of UltraSite EDGE BTS

7.1 Technical description of hot standby with the FXCRRI transmission unit

7.1.1 Introduction to hot standby

Hot standby is a method of equipment redundancy in which two radiotransmitters are kept ready (switched on), so that if one fails, the other oneimmediately picks up where the first one left off.

In single use, the signal is not protected against equipment or propagation faults.If there is a fault, the connection remains broken until the equipment fault hasbeen repaired or the cause for the propagation fault disappears. Hot standbyprovides protection against faults in the equipment.

The supported hot standby setup of one FXC RRI transmission unit with twoNokia FlexiHopper (Plus) outdoor units is shown in the following figure. Activeunits are shown in grey and passive units in white.



215 (279)

Traffic Protection of UltraSite EDGE BTS

Figure 63. Nokia FlexiHopper (Plus) radios with FXC RRI, 1IU/2OU hot standby(only one direction shown)

In hot standby mode, the transceivers of both radios are on but the transmitter ofthe protecting radio is in mute state. The changeover criteria are divided in twocases: (OU) receiver changeover and (OU) transmitter changeover. These two areindependent of each other.

Note

Connecting a Flexbus cable to a passive outdoor unit of an operative protectedhot standby hop may cause a few bit errors to the transmitter and receiver of theactive outdoor unit.

7.1.2 Outdoor unit transmitter changeover switches

Outdoor unit transmitter changeover switches are controlled by the processor ofthe indoor unit. The active outdoor unit is changed if a hardware fault is detectedin the unit or if the far-end radio cannot receive the signal. Changeover can alsobe performed when the reception quality at the far-end has been degraded.

Possible transmitter faults are:

Outdoor unit B Outdoor unit B

. Flexbus cable is disconnected or broken.

. Flexbus power is off.

. Flexbus 'in use' setting is turned off.

. Flexbus loop to interface or loop to equipment is set active.

. Outdoor unit is not capable of transmitting for one or more of the followingreasons:

- Tx lock is lost in Flexbus cable interface.

- MWU lock is lost.

- Tx power setting is off.

- Tx frequency has not been set.

. Both far-end outdoor units have lost their lock to the Rx signal (R-bit issent from the far-end)

Note

Tx changeovers are disabled and the traffic is cut during protected hop fadingmargin measurement. For more information, see Fading margin measurement.

The FXC RRI unit also supports Lazy (OU) transmitter changeover, in addition tothe instant (OU) transmitter changeover, see Lazy transmitter changeover.

7.1.3 Indoor unit changeover switch

The indoor unit Rx changeover switch is located in the ASIC, and it is hardwarecontrolled. The changeover is based on detected FEC (forward error correction)errors. The Rx changeover is also possible by the control of the indoor unit�sprocessor. In receiver changeover, depending on the received radio signal qualityand available receivers, the system tries to minimise the errors in the receiveddata via selecting the outdoor unit with the lower bit error ratio. When the activereceiver receives a serious fault, a receiver changeover is made. During thechangeover, bit errors occur and synchronisation is momentarily lost.

Possible serious receiver faults are:

. Flexbus cable is disconnected or broken.

. Flexbus power is off.

. Flexbus 'in use' setting is turned off.



217 (279)


. Flexbus loop to interface or loop to equipment is set active.

. Flexbus Rx signal frame lock has been lost.

. Outdoor Unit Rx signal lock has been lost.

7.1.4 Alarms that occur with changeovers

After the changeover, the system activates the alarm 128 Fault in equipmentincluding information about which unit is faulty. Other alarms of the faulty unitshow the actual reason for the fault. After the fault has been corrected (forexample, the unit has been replaced and commissioned) the system activates thehot standby protection method and clears the alarms.

If the passive transmitter breaks down, the system activates the 128 Fault inequipment alarm and Tx changeover is not possible until the fault has been fixed.

Note

When an outdoor unit of a hot standby protected hop is replaced, the outdoor unitsettings of the new outdoor unit should be checked (may be in the default state)with the node manager. The Tx frequency and interleaving settings must be thesame in both outdoor units of the hot standby protected hop. If the settings aredifferent, the 143 Fault in changeover function alarm is activated. In that casechangeover is still possible, but after the Tx changeover the frequency may beillegal.

7.2 Technical description of PDH transmission networkprotection using loop topology

7.2.1 Introduction

Nokia loop protection is considered the most efficient way to protect traffic in atransmission network such as a base station subsystem (BSS). In a livetelecommunications network it is important to secure, in addition to the actualpayload traffic, the network synchronisation and the centralised networkmanagement during any period of abnormal circumstances.

For these reasons, Nokia loop protection protects:




. payload traffic

. network synchronisation

. network management connections.

A transmission loop formed with Nokia elements consists of one loop master andseveral loop slaves. Usually the loop master is a transmission node, whereas theloop slaves can be either transmission nodes, BTSs or a combination of bothinside one loop.

The loop principle is that the transmitted signal is always sent in both directions,but the received signal is selected from one direction only. The loop master sendspilot bits on the basis of which the switching decision is made. Each individuallyprotected slave station needs one pilot bit.

Network synchronisation must also be ensured in a loop network and it followsthe loop principle in a similar way. The synchronisation switching takes placeindependently from the pilot bits by having master clock bit (MCB) and loopcontrol bit (LCB).

Each network element decides individually from which direction the signal andthe synchronisation will be received, and thus it does not require any external oradditional supervision for its decision.



219 (279)


Figure 64. Loop principle

Nokia's way of implementing loop protection is ultimately secure, providing veryfast route switching that recovers the transmission connections instantly. Nokialoop protection is embedded and thus very fast. Nokia loop protection protectsagainst failures, such as cable-cuts, equipment failures, heavy rain and multipathfading, and against obstacles in the line-of-sight, such as cranes and growingtrees.

Compared to an unprotected wireless network, Nokia loop protection increasessite availability at least tenfold and prevents end-of-chain availabilitydegradation. Further, it enables significant increase in hop lengths, withoutsacrificing site availability and helps minimise the antenna sizes of the radiolinks.

Nokia loop protection is an easily activated system feature where NokiaMetroHub and UltraSite EDGE BTS can act as the master node. In addition,several Nokia MetroHub nodes and Nokia base stations can be looped together.

The protection functionality is compatible with the existing Nokia BSStransmission.

7.2.2 Protecting payload traffic

A pilot bit is a special kind of bit with a preset value (zero), and it is sent amongthe protected traffic in a known position. For example, protecting a 2 Mbit/s linkrequires one bit out of the 2 Mbit/s stream to be reserved for this purpose.Similarly, if the traffic is protected at a partial 2 Mbit/s level, for example,because two different base stations share one 2 Mbit/s line, one pilot bit isrequired for each slave station.

The location of the pilot bit is defined in the network plan, and it is often withinone of the last time slots of the 2 Mbit/s frame. In principle, the location can beselected freely, but a harmonised practise in the network may be advisable foreasy site commissioning and network documentation.

The state of a pilot bit is set to 0 (zero) at the sending station, which sendsidentical digital streams (payload and the pilot bit protecting it) in directions 1and 2 in the loop.

Any failure in the connection between the sending station and the intendeddestination causes the pilot bit to change from zero to one (based on AIS). Thusthe target station, receiving a 'one' instead of a 'zero' knows that the connection isfaulty.

The following figure shows the loop principle between the loop master and oneslave. The traffic in the other slave stations is bypassed.



221 (279)


Figure 65. Traffic protection guided by pilot bit monitoring

The pilot bit is sent at the loop master MetroHub site for all the slave stations aszero with 'Uni-directional fixed data' or 'Bi-directional masked' types of cross-connections. You can reduce the amount of connections from two uni-directionalto one bi-directional if you use the bi-directional masked type of cross-connection.

The principle of masking in the loop network is to use the logical 'AND'operation with '0', when the result is always '0', and masking with '1' when theoutput is the same as the input signal (either unchanged '0' or '1').

In the example in the following figure, pilot bits are sent to four slave nodes in theloop. The view is from a cross-connection termination point setting.

Figure 66. Pilot bit sent from a loop master



223 (279)


At loop slave sites, each node must forward the pilot bits from other slave stationsunchanged and send its own pilot bit as zero in both loop directions. This is donewith the bi-directional masked type of cross-connections. The following figurepresents the pilot bit masking of the second slave node (bit 2) and other pilot bitsforwarding in the loop. The view is from a cross-connection termination pointsetting.

Figure 67. Pilot bit masking in the second loop slave




Nokia loop protection can be configured either as equal switching or priorityswitching. The difference between these is that in priority switching theconnection returns to the initial route as soon as the problem on that link issolved, whereas with the equal switching the system stays on the selected linkuntil it gets faulty. Equal switching provides better stability for the connection,and it is therefore the recommended choice for BSS networks.

7.2.3 Protecting network synchronisation

The implementation mechanism for an automatic detection and recovery ofmissing or looped network synchronisation is based on loop network clockcontrol bits carried within the protected 2 Mbit/s stream:

. one bit for detecting if the incoming signal is synchronised by the originalnetwork synchronisation master or not (master clock bit, MCB), and

. one bit for detecting any breaks or loopbacks in the synchronisation chain(Loop Control Bit, LCB).

The loop master sets the MCB and LCB to '0' (zero) state in both directions. Anystation using a certain received signal for synchronisation sends the LCB back as'1' (see the following figure), so that the counterpart knows that thesynchronisation of the incoming stream is inherited in such a way that it must notbe used for synchronisation, to avoid a loopback or otherwise faultysynchronisation. The same applies to all slaves to make sure the synchronisationremains intact.

Similarly, faulty transmission replaces MCB and LCB with '1' and affectedstations know they are not receiving a valid source signal from that direction.

Figure 68. Manipulating synchronisation loop control bit

In the loop master MetroHub, the MCB/LCB can be sent as zero in bothdirections of the loop with uni-directional fixed data or bi-directional maskedtypes of cross-connections. Use Configuration � Synchronisation � Loop bitssetting to define the MCB/LCB bit positions. For further information on thesettings, see Adjusting synchronisation loop bit settings.

Node master-slave detection

A synchronisation priority list is always defined first, then the MCB and LCBbits. The transmission node recognises if it is defined as the master or slave basedon the following information:

. if the MCB and LCB bits are missing from the synchronisation list, thetransmission node is a master.

. if MCB and LCB are in the synchronisation list, the transmission node isused as a slave.

There are a couple of network cases which require the use of real MCB/LCBsettings, and is as such, a better practice for common use.

These cases are, for example:

. Q1 loop termination is done based on the incoming LCB bit status. If theloop master node does not have the definition, the Q1 loop protection is notworking.

. The transmission node is acting as the master of one loop and the slave ofanother. The equipment uses loop synchronisation MCB/LCB definition,MCB = incoming MCB bit and LCB = 0 (except towards the interfacewhere the clock is coming, where LCB = 1).

. MCB status is forwarded as received from an upper network element (loopmaster using chain synchronisation with MCB definition, MCB =incoming MCB bit and LCB = 0).

. Node master running on an internal clock which is not at priority l level(MCB/LCB = 1/0)

The following figure presents the setting of MCB/LCB bits in two directions indifferent FXC RRI units.




Figure 69. Setting of loop control bits

Note that node synchronisation is always based on priority. The synchronisationalways return to a higher priority route whenever the problem on that link issolved. This does not cause any problem to the traffic as the synchronisation iscoming from the same loop master.

The location of the MCB and LCB is defined in the network plan. In principle,the location can be selected freely, but a harmonised practise in the network maybe advisable for easy site commissioning and network documentation.

7.2.4 Protecting remote network management channel

The Q1 network management channel used to manage Nokia PDH transmissionelements is a bus, and therefore it must not be looped.

Q1 loop protection is based on switching into a faultless direction when there is abreakage somewhere in transmission. The direction is changed according to anLCB bit.



227 (279)


Figure 70. Network management bus circulation prevention

To avoid ringing and simultaneous polling from two directions, the Q1 loop mustbe terminated at the master node. This is the recommended way to implement Q1network management bus protection with Nokia PDH loop protection. Thistermination is used when the loop master is a Nokia MetroHub node, UltraSiteBTS node, or Nokia DN2.

To terminate the loop at the master node:

. LCB (from the last slave node) = 0 � no faults in the network � forcedtermination towards the last slave node (see above figure).

. LCB (from the last slave node) = 1 � fault in the network � forcedtermination removed

The loop master is configured so that it sends the network management channelin just one direction. When a fault occurs in that direction (the loop master detectsit from the received LCB), it knows to allow the network management channel topropagate in both directions. The Q1 EOC hybrid switch must be set to the OFFstate towards the Secondary Port direction in the loop master. In this case, noadditional settings to the normal Q1 EOC channel are needed in the slave nodes.

In some cases, where the loop master is an older Nokia BTS integratedtransmission unit (TRUx or BIUMD), Q1 protection must be done in the firstloop slave on the secondary port side of the loop master. In this case, both the Q1primary port and the secondary port must be defined for the loop slave. NokiaMetroHub, UltraSite EDGE BTS, and MetroSite EDGE BTS support Q1 slaveprotection.

Figure 71. Setting of Q1 protection in the slave (in case of slave protection)

Note

Both the EOC and the MCB/LCB in the secondary port side must be defined inthe same 2M interface for the Q1 loop protection to work.

7.2.5 Hints for using a loop network

. Use different FXC units for the protected and protecting ports of aconnection to gain the maximum protection in the hardware reliabilitysense.

. A maximum of 16 synchronisation and network management channelprotection loops can be used within a single node.

. When 16 x 2 Mbit/s capacity loops are built, each of the three loopdirections require a separate FXC RRI unit.



229 (279)


7.3 Technical description of SDH transmissionprotection enabled by the FXC STM transmissionunit

Subnetwork Connection (SNC) protection, ring protection scheme

The FXC STM node supports SDH ring protection by using the subnetworkconnection protection scheme (SNC 1+1) on the VC-12 layer. Each path can beindividually selected to be protected or unprotected. In a multiplex sectionprotection (MSP) scheme, the entire STM-1 signal is protected at all times. UsingSNC 1+1 protection, the required transmission capacity can be optimised byprotecting only the VC-12 paths that need to be protected.

Figure 72. Subnetwork connection protection

The SNC 1+1 protected traffic is broadcasted at the entry point of the ring andtransmitted in both directions. At the add/drop points of the ring, one of the tworeceived signals is selected depending on the signal quality. Ring protectionprotects against propagation faults, fibre cuts (if fibres are used within the ring),and network element faults.

FXC STM supports inherent monitored subnetwork connection protection plus(SNC/I+). The plus means that in addition to the standard switching criteria,'unequipped' is used as the switching criteria. This means that if the protectedpath gets the signal label unequipped due to a misconfiguration, the FXC STMunit initiates a protection switch.

radio relay commissioning. The measured fading margin can be used to verify thequality of the radio link in network planning. In addition, it can be used fordefining a sensible ALCQ Rx-level set-point. The measurement is carried outwithout the aid of any additional tools or measurement equipment.

The automatic fading margin measurement (FMM) is based on four differentmeasurements: The BER 10-3 threshold signal levels at each capacity andreceiver's (capacity dependent) noise floor are measured in Nokia production foreach radio. Moreover, the noise floor together with received interference signallevel and the normal (maximum) received power level are measured withcommissioned radio relay in the actual environment. Consequently, it isstraightforward to calculate the fading margin from these measurement results.Generally, the fading margin is defined here as the difference between the normalreceived signal level and the required signal level for 10-3 BER in the actualoperation conditions over the commissioned radio hop.

More detailed information about fading margin can be found in the ALCQ andAutomatic Fading Margin Measurement in FlexiHopper Microwave RadioApplication Note that can be obtained upon request.

7.5 Technical description of lazy transmitterchangeover

Lazy transmitter changeover is a protection method against transmitter faults thatcannot be detected by the equipment itself, for example, a faulty antenna. TheFXC RRI transmission unit sends periodical notifications to the far-end about theradio signal quality. Lazy transmitter changeover is performed, if there are errorsin the transmitted data over a specified interval (see lazy changeover timingbelow) that are caused by the near-end transmitter.

Lazy transmitter changeover is performed when the system experiences bit errorsfor a longer period. Lazy transmitter changeover is possible only when bothtransmitters are available. It is based on analyses of the current and past events.The system minimises the number of lazy transmitter changeovers, because eachtime the changeover is made the synchronisation is lost.

Other factors in the lazy transmitter changeover are:

. If one of the outdoor units becomes unavailable, the system makes aninstant transmitter changeover and generates the 128 Fault in equipmentalarm.

. If the bit error ratio (BER) after the changeover is 1000 times higher thanbefore the changeover, the system makes another changeover back to theprevious transmitter.




7.5.1 Lazy changeover timing

Quality class 1 lazy changeover function is supported, which means that the bestpossible protection against undetectable transmitter faults is available. It makesthe first Tx changeover soon after constant BER is detected in the far-end. Also iffar-end BER exceeds 1E-3, the Tx changeover is done immediately.

The BER value presented in the table below is based on the far-end BER, whichis the result of the radio's internal processes and cannot be measured. The BERvalue is calculated from the better receiver.

With a node manager all supported measurements can be reviewedexcept the FXC RRI unit's 24h and 15min G.826 counters.




The BSC has TRE (G.826) and TRE_SEL (G.826 and RX-input level Max_Minfrom radio outdoor units) measurements. The measurement period with TRE isalways 24h. For the TRE_SEL measurement, the intervals of 15, 30 or 60minutes, or 2, 3, or 24 hours are available.

Note

With 24h period RX-input level Max_Min is not available.

The measurements are only made in the receiving direction. In order to measureboth directions, the user must set up two different measurements. Themeasurements can be made as described in the following figure:

Node = Nokia UltraSite, MetroSite or MetroHub

Example B

Measurements 3 are carried out between Node 1 and Node 3, where the cross-connections in Node 2 is implemented via using the traffic bypass feature. In thiscase the signal is not terminated in Node 2, since cross-connections made viatraffic bypass are transparent on the 2 Mbit/s level. The connection between Node1 and Node 2 is set up using Nokia FlexiHopper (Plus) and the connectionbetween Node 2 and Node 3 is set up using Nokia MetroHopper.

8.2 Performance data for FXC STM-1 and FXC Bridge

Performance data for the FXC STM-1 and FXC Bridge units is collected for themultiplex section (MS), regenerator section (RS), virtual container 4 (VC-4), andvirtual container 12 (VC-12).

The FXC Bridge platform interfaces:

. have no performance data collection.

. do not support timeslot monitoring.

. do not support a frame synchronisation lost counter.




FXC STM does support optical power level measurement due to the sensitivity ofthe measurement circuitry. Only the following values are shown when the powerlevel crosses the following thresholds:

. Rx power level with -30 dBm and below is shown as < -30 dBm.

. Rx power level with -10 dBm and above is shown as > -10 dBm.

. Tx power level with -6 dBm and below is shown as < -5 dBm.

The table below lists the statistics for STM-1 interfaces and SDH-PDH channelsand the statistical error counters that are used for the STM-1 interfaces and theSDH-PDH channels.

Counter Value Description

TT seconds Total Time: all seconds inone time period

AT seconds Available Time AT = TT -UAS (where UAS =Unavailable Seconds)

ES seconds Errored Seconds: secondswith one or more erroredblocks

SES seconds Severely ErroredSeconds: a subset of ES.G.826 gives twodefinitions for SES. InNokia Q1, the definition ofSES as e 30% erroredblocks in one secondperiod is adopted.

BBE counter Background Block Errorsas specified in G.826

The G.826 statistics can be viewed as either counts or ratios.

Counts are either seconds or blocks:

. VC-4 = 8000 blocks/s

. VC-12 = 2000 blocks/s

. MS = 192 000 blocks/s (One block has only one bit.)

. RS = 8000 blocks/s



241 (279)


Ratios are calculated with the following rules:

. AT ratio = AT / TT

. ES ratio = ES / AT

. SES ratio = SES / AT

. BBE ratio = BBE / [ABBE x (AT � SES)] where ABBE =Available Blocksin one second

Note

The SES counter is incremented, when more than 30% of the blocks measured inone second are errored, except for the Multiplex Section layer, where the SEScounter is incremented according to G.829 (when more than 15% of the blocksmeasured in one second are errored).

The tables below include information on the capacity of the FXC STM-1 andFXC Bridge units.
