System Overview

ICS-W0813A is a digital repeater that provides optimized service with ICS (Interference
Cancellation System) to make the most efficient way to enhance WCDMA network.
ICS-W0813A consists of the same components as normal RF repeater except DSP
(Digital Signal Processing) part and it can overcome oscillation problem caused by lack of
the isolation level between donor and coverage antennas.
ICS-W0813A can automatically compensate rapidly-changing input signals including echo
feedback signals caused by multi-path environment and it has various advantages in terms
of the operation and maintenance purposes.
ICS-W0813A consists of ICM (Interference Cancellation Module) that cancels feedback
signals, RF signal amplifier, MCU (Main Control Unit), and modem (optional) to operate with
NMS (Network Management System).

System Network Configuration
2.1. Service for Network
ICS-W0813A is the advanced antenna-embedded ICS repeater for indoor coverage
enhancement. This repeater adopted automatic setup feature with Plug & Play to save time
and installation cost. Network layout with ICS-W0813A is as follows.

NodeNode-B
[Figure - 1] System Network Configuration 1

ICS-W0813A receives input signals through donor antenna from Node-B for DL and
receives input signals through service antenna from a cell phone. They are all air-coupled.
ICS-W0813A system consists of ICM (Interference Cancellation Module) that cancels
feedback signals between donor and service antennas, power supply, digital board
including controller, RF board for DL/UL amplifier and filtering, and modem board to
connect with NMS server.
ICS-W0813A receives Node-B RF signals as input via donor antenna and sends them to
ICS of digital board and DL amplifier where they are amplified to a proper level to the
service antenna. Also it receives mobile phone RF signals as input via service antenna and
sends them to ICS and UL amplifier to the donor antenna.
ICS is to cancel echo feedback signals between donor antenna and service antenna. It
consists of RF and digital parts.

2.2. NMS Network

ICS-W0813A can be operated with its own RMS (Remote Monitoring System) or
connected with the existing remote management system if the operator provides the
protocols.
The Connection between Remote management system and ICS-W0813A follows the
standard of network operators.
