9926 BBU single technology (d2uv3) - WCDMA

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

• The 9926 BBU consists of four types of hardware elements:• CCM which controls OAM management, part of call processing

and internal/external data flow switching/combining, supporting external/internal alarm connectivity and external synchronisationreference interface.

• CEM, controls part of call processing and base band transmit/receive digital signal processing.

• RBP (user Rack Back Plane), supports all internal links between CCM-U and CEM-U modules.

• Fan rack / RUC (Rack User Commissioning), which supports all commissioning of non-volatile memories, and fan alarms. It is designed for -48V DC power supply.

KEY BENEFITS (compared to 9326 BBU)• The 9926 BBU is equipped with latest generation of digital

modules (eCCM-u and eCEM-u)• Unrestricted support of eCEM-u due to stronger fans

DEPENDENCIES• No support of LR modules (SD_CxM)

FUNCTIONS• Hosting of digital part of NodeB :

� For distributed solutions with RRH� For Macro solutions using TRDU

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

KEY BENEFITS• 128 users HSUPA 2ms TTI • 90 OVSF codes available for up to 6 cells• Support of up to 6 Cells, 2 carriers • Aggregated DL throughput 60Mbps• Aggregated UL throughput 33 Mbps• Full support of enhanced cell FACH UL and DL • Support of CPC 2ms• Support of Mimo• Support of DC + Mimo up to 84 Mbps

Functions• Performs the base-band signal processing for all

supported WCDMA channels• ICU (Interface and control unit):

� control and timing interfaces to the base station� control and management functions

FEATURE DESCRIPTION• The eCEM-u is a new version of the Channel element module. It

is an evolution of the xCEM-u.• eCEM-u (Channel Element Module): The eCEM-u provides the 3G

signal processing within the NodeB for voice and high-speed data calls and supports multiple sectors.

• It is designed to provide increased performance and capacity compared to xCCM-u and future proofs for 3GPP standards evolution.

eCEM-u (WCDMA)

~25% additional CPU processing capacity in highly loaded situations (versus xCEM-u).

DEPENDENCIES• In case of extension in d2uv2 horizontally mounted in

MBI, a fan upgrade is necessary• Mixity with iCEM-u descoped due to low network

penetration of this module in d2uv2• The eCEM-u is compatible with xCEM-u• The eCEM-u is compatible with iCCM-u, xCCM-u and

eCCM-u.

•FEATURE DESCRIPTION• The eCCM-U is the next version of Core Controller Module (CCM) for the

9926 BBU (will fit in the current 9326 d2U v2 rack w/o impacts)

•FEATURE VALUE• Increase Processing Power in order to support either 3G or LTE with the

same platform

• Improvements when comparing to the xCCM-U:

• Brings more updated and powerful HW components

• 2 variant of MDA types: 4E1/T1 MDA (3G) and GigE MDA (3G & LTE)

• Additional 10MHz input and 10 or 15 MHz output port (depending on HW versions) (dual SMB) to be used for inter-BBU synchronization (SW support in UA9/LA5.0)

• Improved Oscillator Stability in Holdover Mode (1 month frequency synchronization within the Node-B temperature operational rage)

• Support CPRI Rate 2 &3

• Capable of supporting additional security:

•The connection between the LMT & eCCM-U can be secured

•Un-ciphered data inside the eCCM-U will not be accessible

•The keys used for ciphering cannot be intercepted inside the eCCM-U (in case of tampering with HW).

•DEPENDENCIES• Two variants for deployment for 3G and LTE

• 3G: 3JR20073BB (factory load allows later remote SW upgrade to LTE)

• LTE: 3JR20073CB (GPS and eOCXO)

• 3G variant will be supported by LTE later: not in LA4 and not LA5 POR today

Functions- CPU power to manage the NodeB/eNodeB terminated flows

- NodeB/eNode B synchronization

- O&M functions

- Base Station Hubbing (UA9.0 POI)

Interfaces• Connection to Radio through 6 CPRI ports (optical or electrical SFP)

• One GPS synchronization port (PPS)

• One site lan or debug port

• Gigabit Ethernet for backhaul

• Input/output for synchronisation

(1) For W-CDMA backhaul

60% capacity increase for Control Plane traffic (versus xCCM-u).

Recommended for deployments where more Control Plane Capacity is required

3) Single PtP fiber with WDM

Basic BBU Centralization Transport Options

This CPRI transport configuration is already supported but …

• … fiber is not widely available on cell sites

• … even when available, fiber is usually a scarce and costly resource and this usage is not efficient

• in an ideal scenario, a cell site should not use more than 1 optical fiber (2 for resiliency)

• … it does not scale up easily when the site configuration must be increased

• fibers must be added when new RRH are added

• high number of Long reach SFP heads increase the CAPEX

• … this is not a carrier-grade solution

• no management of the optical NW: optical NW failures hard to detect, troubleshoot and fix

This configuration is defined in CPRI standard and reduces the number of fibers used but …

• … it would introduces a single point of failure on the cell site and wireless equipment have a lower reliability than transport equipment

• … it would not be adapted to large site configurations

• the highest CPRI rate currently defined in the standard is 9 830 Mbps, and the bandwidth required for large site configurations exceeds this value (e.g, 3 sectors LTE 20 MHz MIMO 4x4 would require 2 CPRI Rate 7)

• … this is not a carrier-grade solution either

Passive solution with reduced number of fibers used, but…

• … requires many expensive long-haul colored interfaces (SFPsI in BBU and RRH making it an expensive solution for sites with many CPRI interfaces

• … it is difficult to manage operationally as each RRH must use the correct colored transceiver with a matching colored interface at the BBU Pool end

• … it is also not a carrier grade solution

What is the problem we are trying to solve ?

1) Enable BBU Centralization in every possible

fiber circumstance

2) In a cost effective way to optimize TCO gains

3) Introducing Manageability of the Optical Network

How ?

1) By the ability to connect any Optical access Network

2) By compressing and multiplexing electrically CPRIs to

save optical NW cost

3) Using ITU-T G.709 standard in the optical network

What is LFO ?

1) LFO is an ALU Wireless-aware Transmission-access module

� ALU Wireless-aware allows optimization of the CPRI links, Transmission-access allows to optimize the way we access

any fibers

LFO: Saves fibers, saves lambdas, interworks with any Optical network bringing manageability to this new interface (network supervision and automatic recovery from failures)

� a software-based journaling system (the shadow file system or SFS) is used to replicate file writes to the spare CP4 disk drive.

� Ethernet access to MDM/MDP via TCP/IP for Out of band OAM connectivity

� In-Band OAM management will also be provided. IP flow containing OAM signalling will be sent to the OMC-R on top of AAL5 ATM on the same STM1 that is used to carry Iu protocol. This type of OMC connectivity is handled by the 16ptOC3/STM1 board.

ENHANCED DUAL CORE PACKET SERVER (EDCPS)

• FEATURE DESCRIPTION

• 9370 RNC capacity growth with DCPS has reached its limit. 3G data traffic continues to grow exponentially year over year.

• Enhanced Dual Core Packet Server (eDCPS) is introduced as an alternative to the existing DCPS to enable future capacity growth of the RNC compared to the 9370 with DCPS.

• By default, the eDCPS will provide the same capacity as DCPS. The capacity increase will be available through software upgrade

• DCPS and eDCPS simultaneous support in the same RNC at iso-capacity.

• FEATURE VALUE

• RNC increase capacity through software without additional HW need

• CAPEX saving: Immediate investments in eDCPS at iso- capacity is less costly compared to adding DCPS and then replacing them witheDCPS when additional capacity is needed.

• Reduced footprint thanks to reduced nb of RNCs vs the RNC with DCPS.

• eDCPS allows for continuing capacity evolution in future software releases

Future proof 9370 capacity growth solution while protecting hardware
