2.1 Features and benefits

Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS has many features and benefits, including:
Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS is lightweight and compact and, with its fullfrontal
accessibility, can be installed just about anywhere.
The modular design of Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS guarantees smooth
expansion and upgrades of base station equipment from GSM to
GSM/EDGE and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA)
with minimal disturbance to network operation. The BTS supports hot
insertion of plug-in units, which means that most units can be replaced
during operation without disrupting the BTS functions.
Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS cabinets can be installed side by side and in
corners, which means less space is required.
Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS fits into the corresponding Nokia Talk-family
BTS footprints. The operator does not need to alter any previous plans for
expansion. In addition, the BTS can be co-sited as an upgrade cabinet with

Nokia Talk-family.
Figure 3 illustrates the smooth expansion and upgrade from GSM to
GSM/EDGE and WCDMA capability (with GSM/EDGE 800, 900, 1800
and 1900).

This section describes the following features of the Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS:
Macrocellular network
Cell capacity and coverage area
Cost-effective, multi-purpose platform
3.1 Macrocellular network

Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS is designed to be a high-capacity macrocellular
network that supports multimedia services. The BTS offers High Speed Circuit
Switched Data (HSCSD) that allows the operator to provide:
data rates up to 57.6 kbit/s over four channels.
real-time services to the end user.
Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS also uses General Packet Radio Service (GPRS),
which allows the operator to:
maintain connection.
experience increased data transmission speeds of over 100 kbits/s with
multiple timeslots.
extend the Internet connection all the way to mobile terminals.
The data capacity of each Transceiver for HSCSD and GPRS can be increased by
using EDGE in the network. The EDGE enhanced data speed rate is over 470
kbit/s with multiple timeslots for EGPRS.
Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS supports effective network capacity building and
high-call quality in a dual-band configuration in a single cabinet. Common
antennas and antenna feeder cables for both the GSM/EDGE 800, 900, 1800,
and
1900 TRXs are used. GSM/EDGE 800/1900 or 900/1800 dual-band
configurations are also supported. GSM/EDGE 800/1800 will be available with a
future software release.
Product Overview
3.2 Cell capacity and coverage area

The RF performance of Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS is also optimised for
macrocellular applications. The BTS offers a broad voice and data coverage
area
due to an improved link budget. Flexible combiner options are available to
create
high-output power with a minimum number of antennas.
To increase the cell capacity and maintain large cell coverage, Nokia UltraSite
EDGE BTS uses the following features:
Nokia UltraSite Masthead Amplifiers (MHAs)with multiport RX diversity
reception schemes (2- and 4-way)
Nokia Smart Radio Concept (SRC) for GSM/EDGE
These features further maximise the extremely high BTS receive sensitivity and
push the cell coverage and capacity to the maximum. For example, the
standard
GSM cell range is 35 km; the extended cell range feature allows cell ranges of
up
to 70 km. Using the extended cell range feature requires EDGE-capable TRX
baseband units (which will be available in a future software release). These
features also assist in meeting the coverage and capacity needs for many
different
applications.
The high TRX density (with 12 TRXs per cabinet) of Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS
has the following benefits:
reduces the total network investment (less sites and equipment per site).
supports efficient capacity growth with the modular design.
allows synchronised handovers and shared frequencies in sectorised sites
between cabinets.
permits the combination of TRXs from different cabinets into the same
cell.
For capacity enhancement and network quality assurance, Nokia UltraSite
EDGE
BTS uses Intelligent Frequency Hopping and Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR)
speech coding.
Additional features

3.3 Cost-effective, multi-purpose platform

Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS provides a smooth evolution from GSM to
GSM/EDGE and WCDMA. The BTS has the capacity to contain both
GSM/EDGE Transceiver units and WCDMA Transmitter and Receiver units in a
single cabinet. The BTS can be upgraded to GSM/EDGE simply by adding the
EDGE-capable BB2 and TRX plug-in units.
Triple-mode Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS supports full 3G capability with
sufficient voice and data capacity to meet future demands. The platform
supports
various combinations of GSM, EDGE and WCDMA simultaneously.
Product Overview
With Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS, the same equipment can be used to build
coverage, capacity, or both. The cabinets can be chained to provide a dense,
highcapacity
site, such as 36 GSM/EDGE TRXs using only three BTS cabinets or a
maximum of 108 TRXs using nine cabinets. Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS can be
configured to provide coverage to the widest rural area.
With established networks, sites can be expanded by using Nokia UltraSite
EDGE BTS as an upgrade cabinet at existing Nokia Talk-family sites. Nokia
UltraSite EDGE BTS and Nokia Talk-family cabinets can be placed side by side.
Planning for Nokia UltraSite and Talk-family co-sites is easy, because the Nokia
UltraSite EDGE BTS cabinet fits into the corresponding Nokia Talk-family
footprint, and the existing antennas and feeder cables can be used.
Figure 5. Co-sited Nokia UltraSite EDGE and Talk-family BTSs
Configurations
Configurations
The actual installation and commissioning of Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS is fast
and easy because of the simplified internal cabling and uniformity of unit
placement in all cabinet types. In addition, BTS Manager provides easy, stepbystep
commissioning instructions and quick integration into the network, which
ensures that Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS is up and running soon after installation.
Installation costs and required skill sets are kept to a minimum, and revenue
flow
starts immediately.
Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS is delivered to the site with the necessary plug-in
units. To add to the ease of installation, all plug-in units are delivered with the
required cables for the configuration. In addition, Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS:
can be sectored and expanded easily.
supports multiple sectors in each cabinet.
can be used with various flexible antenna configurations, including multiband
and cross-polarised antennas.
As a standard, TRXs come with built-in support for 2-way and 4-way diversity.
4-way RX diversity requires two TRXs. In addition, the Nokia SRC for
GSM/EDGE with a combination of diversity solutions can be applied in both
uplink and downlink directions and used for enhancing radio-link performance.
4.1 Configurations for GSM/EDGE 800, 900,

1800, and
1900
To minimise the number of antennas and optimise the coverage range, various
antenna combining options are available for Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS:
combining bypass no signal combining is used.
2-way wideband combining signals from two TRXs are combined into
one antenna using one WBC unit.
Product Overview
4-way wideband combining signals from four TRXs are combined into
one antenna using two parallel WBC units in a series with a single WBC
unit.
Remote Tune Combining signals from six TRXs are combined into one
antenna with one Remote Tune Combiner (RTC) unit. With two RTC units,
12 TRXs in one sector can be connected to two antennas. A separate
antenna for RX diversity is unnecessary.

4.2 Nokia Smart Radio Concept for GSM/EDGE

A novel feature for obtaining the maximum benefit for EDGE is the Nokia SRC.
The Nokia SRC enhances radio-link performance in both GSM and EDGE mode
to ensure maximum coverage, improved data capacity, and high service
quality.
The Nokia SRC includes a combination of diversity solutions applied in both
uplink and downlink directions. In addition, the Nokia SRC supports synthesised
frequency hopping.
The BTS reception is enhanced when Interference Rejection Combining and
MHAs are used together with 2- and 4-way uplink diversity.
Antenna diversity is also used in downlink enhancement with a feature called
Intelligent Downlink Diversity (IDD). IDD extends the cell coverage by sending
the same downlink signal through two transmitters simultaneously. IDD boosts
downlink performance by up to 5 dB in all radio timeslots. The typical
configurations in one cabinet are:
1+1+1 with combiner bypass
2+2+2 with 4-way diversity
