....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Hybrid Iub
The hybrid Iub interface consists of the following connectivity:
• ATM/PCM connectivity for R99, HSDPA, or HSUPA signaling and OAM traffic
• IP/Ethernet connectivity for HSPA traffic (HSDPA + HSUPA, or HSDPA only)
Note: Hybrid Iub bandwidth pools resiliency (default configuration)
When IP connectivity is lost, new HSPA calls are transferred on the ATM path.
If the ATM path is configured into separate pools (one dedicated for HSPA on IP, the
other shared with R99 on ATM), and the dedicated pool fails, then new HSPA calls are
put in the shared pool.
The hybrid Iub interface requires an xCCM module ((xCCM-4E1 or xCCM-GE hardware
configuration)
Hybrid Iub backhauling can be optimized using Alcatel-Lucent 9500 Microwave Packet
Radio (MPR).
Native IP Iub
The native IP Iub interface consists of a full IP/Ethernet transport on an Iub interface.
When a native IP Iub feature is deployed, the ATM/PCM connectivity is no longer used
on Iub.

9311 Macro V1 OD digital shelf description
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Main functions
The CEM performs digital signal processing for both Tx and Rx paths. The CEM
processes all types of UMTS physical channel in both uplink and downlink directions.
According to the type of physical channels, the processing is different. High-rate data
channels require much more processing power than low-rate speech channels. The
architecture of the CEM is well adapted to the UMTS physical channel diversity. The
CEM hardware is designed to support up to two UMTS frequencies for three-sector
operation and two-branch transmit and receive diversity per sector.
The CEM allows up to three ways softer hand-off. It manages a signal delay adjustment
to compensate for delay through the BTS transmission path. A rake receiver is used to
comprise classical DLLs, searcher, and finger assignment algorithms.
Hardware description
The front panel of the CEM has two corporate LEDs indicating the CEM status:

Main functions
The CCM provides the control and data routing functions for the Node B.
The CCM provides the following functions:
• Iub interface
• Call processing
• Data switching and routing
• OAM management
• Node B frequency and timing reference
One CCM supports up to three wide-band carriers with transmit and receive diversity in a
tri-sectored carrier configuration.
Hardware description
The CCM consists of three cards:
• BTS Router Interface Controller (BRIC)
• Advanced Switch Engine (AXE)
• CCM Interconnect Card (CCMIC)
BRIC
The BRIC provides the main processing and controls for the Node B. This card provides
the interfaces to the RNC through 8 T1/E1 links carrying ATM Iub.
The BRIC operates ATM internally (AAL2 for traffic, AAL5 for signaling and OAM) and
supports ATM AAL2/AAL5 backhaul to the RNC.
AXE
The AXE board provides the interface between the BRIC, the TRMs and the CEMs and
optionally receives timing reference signals from the GPSAM. The AXE functions
include Base-band signal routing and addition of signals between the CEMs and TRMs,
an ATM switch and timing reference distribution.

9311 Macro V1 OD hardware Transceiver Receiver Module (TRM)
9311 Macro V1 OD digital shelf description
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Main functions
The TRM contains the transmit/receive circuitry for three transmitting chains and six
receiving chains.
Downlink path
The TRM (dTRM) receives up to six signals from the CCM. These downlink samples are
transferred to the Tx channelizers. The channelizers perform chip level modulation, peak
power reduction, filtering, and then deliver the signals (three maximum) to the D/A
converters of the TRM (rTRM).
In the analog domain, the digital signals are transformed into RF signals through D/A
conversion, modulation, filtering/amplification and translation operations. The final RF
signals have the appropriate level to drive the MCPA.
The total transmitted power is proportional to the data rate of the codes and the number of
these codes (communications). A power control adjusts each RF signal to optimize the
total interference level noise between the Node B and the user equipment.
Uplink branch
The uplink branch handles three pair-received signals (main and diversity) that comes
from the antenna via a coupling system which separates transmission from reception.
These signals are filtered, amplified, demodulated, A/D converted and then transmitted to
the Rx channelizers in the digital domain.
The receiving channelizer receives the six A/D converter signals. It processes the data and
transmits them to the CCM.

Main functions
In comparison with the iTRM, the main enhancements of the xTRM are the following:
• Reception of two frequency carriers, instead of one
• Only with xTRM : integration of the Base Band Pre-Distortion (BBPD) interface
which allows BBPD feedback loop
The xTRM-2 does not support BBPD.
The xTRM is controlled by a PQII processor which controls the Tx and Rx processing
paths.
The xTRM can be configured with:
• xTRM-1R mode: only one carrier in uplink
• xTRM-2R mode: two carriers in uplink

The xTRM is designed to be configured in xTRM-1R or xTRM-2R modes, in association
with four generations of MCPA modules (MCPA, MCPA-2, MCPA-3, and MCPA 60W)
or the SCPA module:
• In xTRM-1R single-carrier mode (default operation mode), the second carrier is
locked and the xTRM has the same behavior as the iTRM.
• The xTRM-2R dual-carrier mode is optional. This feature allows to use one xTRM
instead of two iTRMs in STSR2, STSR1+1, STSR3, or STSR2+1 configuration.
Contact your local Alcatel-Lucent representative for information about unlocking the
second carrier (the delivery of the WICL Scripts for xTRM Carrier Activation
(UMT/OMC/APP/015801) user guide is subject to the second carrier option payment).
Modules mixity
Alcatel-Lucent does not recommend to mix TRM/iTRM with xTRM modules within the
same Node B cabinet. In order to comply with this recommendation, newly ordered Node
B cabinets should only be equipped with xTRM modules. Concerning current Node B
equipment on customer Node B sites, if specific configurations require a mixity between
TRM/iTRM and xTRM modules, they must comply with the following mixity rules:
• xTRM-2 can be mixed with TRM/iTRM/xTRM, provided the use of MCPA 45W or
MCPA 60W-A.
• xTRM-1R, iTRM, TRM, and MCPA/MCPA-2/MCPA-3 can be mixed in the same
Node B cabinet.
• Configurations mixing iTRM and xTRM-2R are allowed (not recommended). In those
configurations, the iTRM (not configured) is kept as a redundant resource in a
passive/not configured but supervised state.
Hardware description
The xTRM module consists of two boards:
• The digital xTRM board (dxTRM):
The dxTRM performs interface functions to transmit/receive signal samples to/from
iCCM/iCCM-2/xCCM.
The downlink samples are transferred to up to six Tx channelizer Application Specific
Integrated Circuits (ASIC), which perform mainly pulse shaping, frequency shifting
and peak power reduction. Each ASIC can support one UMTS channel. The ASICs
can be cascaded so that the dxTRM transmits:
– Three 1-carrier signals
or
– Three 2-carrier signals
or
– Two 3-carrier signals

Base-band signals are then processed to enable the pre-distortion of the radio signal,
according to the BBPD algorithm. Three PA feedback chains (one per PA) ensure the
down-conversion and Analog/Digital conversion of the RF TX signals to feed the
BBPD algorithm: this one compares the feedback samples to the transmit samples and
adjust automatically pre-distortion coefficients to minimize the error.
The BBPD processing function is set in transparent mode when xTRM is not
associated with MCPA 60W, but with conventional MCPA (i.e. not using external
feedback loops).
On the uplink, the xTRM allows the reception of up to six dual-carrier signals: it
manages the reception of two contiguous carriers on three sectors, including main and
diversity Rx paths. The dxTRM receives digital samples from the rxTRM (see next
bullet). These samples are digitally matched, filtered, and scaled by six Rx
channelizer ASICs, each one handling one main and one diversity signals.
The dxTRM retrieves configuration information and alarms via I2C buses from DDMs
and Tx splitter.
• The radio xTRM board (rxTRM):
The rxTRM consists of three transmit chains and three dual-receive chains.
On Rx side, radio signals received from DDM are down-converted, filtered, scaled
and then Analog-to-Digital converted. The rxTRM receive function is designed for up
to two UMTS carriers.
On Tx side, the rxTRM performs Digital-to-Analog conversion, frequency
up-conversion and amplification in the downlink direction. The downlink signal
consists of up to three UMTS carriers.

Module types
The MCPA module types are the following:
• MCPA
• MCPA-2
• MCPA-3
• MCPA 60W
All MCPAs have the same front panel, functionalities and hardware maintenance. The
main differences concern:
• the power consumption and the related efficiency
• the optimization of the rectifier number
• the PEC:
– NTUM30AA for first generation MCPA module
– NTUM30CA for MCPA-2 module
– NTUM90EA for RoHS compliant MCPA-3 module

But to gain benefits from the performances of the new generation of MCPA module
(MCPA-3), Alcatel-Lucent recommends not to mix together the three MCPA types.
Functional modes
The three MCPA types include the following functional modes:
• First mode
In this mode, the MCPAs operate in 45 W.
• Second mode
In this reduced mode, the MCPAs operate in 30 W.
The functional mode is selected using specific commands.
The switching between the two modes when MCPA is in operational mode is possible
without passing by shutdown mode.
Operating mode
The MCPA supports the following operating modes:
• Unknown mode
This mode is used to initialize the micro-controller of the MCPA. The MCPA is in
unknow mode just after the micro-controller reset.
• Manual mode
This mode is activated without need of software commands. The manual mode is
effective if the MCPA is in unknown mode.
• UMTS mode
This mode is the main operating mode for the MCPA. In this mode, the MCPA
responds to messages sent from the Node B interface (TRM) and reports informations
on Node B demand (TRM).
The MCPA 850 operates only with the xTRM 850.
• Software download mode
This mode is effective in unknow mode and is initiated with a command message.
The MCPA download mode feature enables to deliver bug fixes on the field without
going on site.
In UMTS03, the MCPA software download allows to manage one MCPA software
release per MCPA manufacturer.
In UMTS04, the MCPA software download allows to manage all MCPA software
releases from all MCPA manufacturers.

MCPA 60W
Introduction
The MCPA 60W module has the following characteristics:
• It uses the latest generation of hardware components.
• It is located in the MCPA shelf, which can house up to six MCPA 60W modules.
• It is used to amplify the Tx signal.
• It operates within the following bandwidths:
– UMTS 2100 (2110-2170 MHz)
– UMTS 1700/2100 (2110-2155 MHz)
– UMTS 850 (869-894 MHz)
• It is designed to be used only with xTRM (not compatible with TRM or iTRM).
There are three versions of the MCPA 60W module:
• MCPA 60W-A (for MCPA 60W-Autonomous)
• MCPA 60W-B (for MCPA 60W-BBPD)
There are very few differences between the MCPA 60W-A and the MCPA 60W-B
modules. (See "Only with MCPA 60W-B" in following sections.)
Main functions
The MCPA 60W provides amplification of the RF signals delivered by the xTRM, but
only the MCPA 60W-B delivers feedback signals to the xTRM.
The MCPA 60W allows xTRM redundancy by providing two RF input ports and
switching capability.
The MCPA 60W delivers up to 60 watt nominal composite RF power in order to deliver
45 watt typical RF power to the Node B antenna port.
Only with MCPA 60W-B : compared to the MCPA 30/45W or MCPA 60W-A, the
MCPA 60W-B uses a new architecture based upon the Base Band Pre-Distortion (BBPD)
linearization processing located in the xTRM. This digital pre-distortion technology saves
hardware and improves reliability.

Cooling System
Overview
The cooling system provides the climatic control for the BTS. It consists of one iDACS .
It is used to control the ambient environment of the outdoor enclosure.
The iDACS is installed at the top of the cabinet and is accessed through the front hinged
access doors.
An electronic module, inside the iDACS, controls the cooling and heating functions of the
iDACS. From both the internal cabinet air temperature and the external ambient air
temperature, it then selects the level of environmental control necessary to maintain full
operational performance of the electronic equipment installed within the BTS.
Description
Important! A space is kept empty on each side of the iDACS to let the air flow.
Storage of equipments on either side of the iDACS is forbidden.
The main components of the iDACS are the following:

Principles of operation
A damper is used to control the internal air temperature of the BTS.
When fully closed, the damper excludes the outside air and air circulates within the
cabinet.
When the damper is fully open, there is no recirculation within the cabinet, the iDACS
then operates by drawing ambient air that is routed through the electronic equipment
installed in the cabinet and ejected via outlet ducts located at the sides of the iDACS.
At intermediate position, the damper is adjusted automatically to give a mix of
recirculated and external air, to achieve a nominal internal operating temperature of 25°C.
For low external ambient air temperatures, the internal cabinet air temperature is
maintained above +50°C by the operation of one or two heaters.
Modes of operation
The iDACS is able to operate in two modes:
• Non speed control mode: in this mode, fans operate continuously at full speed.
• Speed control mode: in this mode, the iDACS analyzes the external ambient
temperature and automatically selects slow (S) or high (S2) fan speed.
If the ambient external air temperature is below +40°C, the fan speed selection is slow
speed.
Full speed is selected when one of the following conditions occurs:
• Ambient external air temperature exceeds +40°C
• A fault condition exists
LED indicators
The control board of the iDACS monitors the performance of the cooling and heating
circuits.
The operation of the iDACS is monitored with eight LEDs. In normal operation, all the
LEDs must be illuminated and a non illuminated LED is an indication of a failure.
The LEDs are visible from the front panel of the iDACS.
Electrical specification
During normal operation, the iDACS uses its own internal ac/dc rectifying system.

9311 Macro V1 OD optional equipment
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Main functions
The DDSM is made of one Transmit (Tx) filter and two Receive (Rx) filters.
The DDSM is inserted on the antenna diversity path.
Note: It can only be used when the antenna diversity path is not used for GSM Tx
path.
On the Tx path, the downlink signal is distributed through the DDSM, from the Node B
IN port to the Antenna OUT port.
On the Rx path, the uplink signal is distributed in two ways:
• Through the DDSM (from the Antenna OUT port to the Rx OUT port) and then
through the GSM Rx Div path
Note: There is a DC path between the Antenna OUT port and the Rx OUT port to
support a GSM TMA.
• Through the GSM Rx Main path, and then through the DDSM (from the Rx IN port to
the Node B IN port)

Multi PCM without IMA
The connection between the Node B and the RNC provides the following functions:
• Up to four PCMs per Node B, each with its own UNI interface, between the Node B
and the Access Equipment (both RNC PCM and RNC SDH configurations are
supported)
• A single full or fractional PCM per Node B (possibly with Drop and Insert), or
multiple full PCMs (without Drop and Insert)
• No redundancy management is currently supported
• Limited defense to detecting VCC failures, cleaning up calls on those VCCs, and not
using them for future calls until they return to service

Figure 7-2 Transmission between Node B and RNC by using IMA over PCM
The Access Equipment provides a hub function (switching, routing) for the Node B. It is
located in small concentration hub sites like the Node B sites. It allows to aggregate
traffic from several Node Bs. The Access Equipment enables to offer more connectivity to
the Node B site.
The Access Equipment supports the following features:
• Multi PCM
• IMA on PCM E1/T1
• Fractional E1/T1 to achieve Drop&Insert UMTS-UMTS and GSM-UMTS
Note: In case of Multi PCM without IMA feature, none of the Multi PCM can be
fractional. The fractional E1/T1 and Multi PCM without IMA features are not
compatible.

The drop and insert function imply the support of ATM over fractional E1 in the Node B.
The drop and insert function consists in the routing of data for other Node Bs through the
Node B. This is done through the routing of some PCM time slot from an incoming PCM
to an outgoing one.
