WAF = Wideband Antenna Filter Unit
For combining/isolating TX/RX signals (duplexer) and amplifying received
signals
Power supply for MHAs
WPA = Wideband Power Amplifier Unit
A multicarrier linear PA, operating bandwidth of any 20 MHz (four 5MHz
carriers) section on the whole 60 MHz WCDMA allocation.
WTR = Wideband Transmitter and Receiver Unit
TX: Receive data form WSM and perform modulation and up-conversion
of transmitted carrier
RX: Channel selection, down conversion for selected carrier, (main and
diversity reception). Carrier is digitized and transmitted to WSM
WSM = Summing and Multiplexing Unit
Routing and distributing of bit streams between WTRs and WSPs
WSP = Signal Processor Unit
TX/RX code channel processing, coding and decoding (32ch in release 1
and 64ch in release 2)
TX code channel summing
RX data sample processing

WCDMA BTS unit functions

WAM = Application Manager Unit

O&M functions and carrier control
Logical channel processing and ATM processing
One WAM is the master controller for the whole BTS and performs
common O&M e.g operational SW storing, distribution, alarm collection,
configuration management, etc.)
AXU = ATM Cross Connection Unit
Data transfer between WAMs by switching ATM packets
ATM switching/multiplexing to transmission network (not BTS
functionality)
Transmission layer protocol termination
IFU = Interface Unit
Physical transmission layers are implemented as separate plug-in-units,
which internally interface to the ATM switch unit.

WSC = Wideband System Clock

Synchronization function and reference clock generation to whole BTS
Phase locked to clock signal extracted form Iub
Generate frame (and time slot) clocks, frequency synthesizer reference
clocks and sampling clocks for A/D and D/A- converters
Logic for cabinet synchronisation (to other cabinet WSCs)

WCDMA BTS unit functions

WEA = Wideband External Alarm Unit
Handles external alarms and controls (in/out), over voltage protection
WIC = Wideband Input Combiner Unit
Provide different coupling/level matching options for dif. Configurations
Accommodates an Ethernet hub for TLCI-bus.
WOC = Wideband Output Combiner (Matched phase length cable)
Summing WPA outputs into single antenna
WPS = Wideband Power Supply Unit
Power supply unit for BTS. AC or DC input
WPAs have internal power supplies
WFA = Wideband Fan Unit
Fan unit for Base Band and AXC subracks, control of WPA and WTR fans

WHX = Wideband Heat Exchanger

Heat exchanger for Base Band subracks in Outdoor cabinet
Cabinet heater and Heat Exchanger are part of the WOK

WIK, = Wideband Indoor Kit
Set of panels and accessories to complete indoor cabinet
WOK = Wideband Outdoor Kit
Set of panels and accessories to complete outdoor cabinet
WEK = Wideband Extension Kit
Extension kit for cabinet chaining
Antenna System unit functions
MHA = Mast Head Amplifier/OPTION
Amplifies the received signal at the mast to compensate cable losses
Bias-T/OPTION
Feeds operating voltage for MHA
Supervises VSWR of feeder and antenna and provides alarm to WAF

Signal Interface
TypeDateHere

Carrier Interface. Interface between WAM and transmission

subsystem (AXC). Carries user data and user related signalling
and O&M information from RNC/NMS.
CLK
Clock and synchronisation interface. This interface provides
frequency reference, operational clocks and other timing signals
for the use of other units in the BTS.
R-BUS Receive Bus. This interface delivers received samples from
WSM unit to maximum 6 WSPs.
SR-BUS Sector Receive Bus. Samples from adjacent sectors
(adjacent WSMs) are received via this interface and are
further forwarded towards R-BUS.
RR-BUS Radio Receive Bus. This bus delivers the main and diversity
received signal in digital form to the WSM unit for further
distribution.
T-BUS Transmit Bus. Carries spreaded and summed signals from
one WSP to WSM. WSM can take input from up to six WSPs
simultaneously.
ST-BUS Sector Transmit Bus. Data intended for transmission in
adjacent sectors is delivered via this interface to the adjacent
WSMs.
RT-BUS Radio Transmit Bus. WSM composes the whole carrier data
from own and adjacent sector input and forwards the
resulting bitstream to WTR via RT-BUS for modulation and
upconversion.
DSC-BUS Data, Signalling and Control Bus. The 'backbone' of the BTS. All user
data and signalling is carried via this interface from WAM to WSPs.
