Lucent UMTS Macrocell Compact

Product Overview
This data sheet provides a high level description of the key
aspects of the Lucent UMTS Macrocell Compact.

Amplifier Shelf Each Power Amplifier Module (PAM)

provides up to 40Wpower output. Up to 6 PAMs per shelf can
be supported, and the Node B hardware architecture allows two
PAMs to be used in parallel to increase power output.
Baseband Card Cage The UMTS baseband channel unit
contains the radios and the channel elements and processes data
and voice calls.
Timing can be derived from an internal high accuracy oscillator
or via an optional external GPS reference.

Lucents UMTS Node B product range is specifically designed to

provide a range of flexible and high performance base station
solutions with embedded cost optimizing features and high
operational availability in a UMTS network.
With focus on cost and size, the UMTS Macrocell Compact is
the smallest member of the UMTS Macrocell family available
supporting up to 3s2c and available in both outdoor and indoor
configurations.
The UMTS Macrocell Compact provides an ideal solution for
initial deployments, and supports later growth as traffic levels
increase. Its small size allows deployment in a wide range of
locations. Future capacity enhancement plans mean that
operators will be able to deploy this product to provide wide
scale geographic coverage, confident that its capacity will grow
as traffic levels increase.
The architecture of the UMTS Node B Macrocell is common to
all Lucent UMTS Node B products. It consists of three main
components, (the Filter Module, Power Amplifier and the
Baseband Card Cage.) the functions of which are as follows:
Filter Module The filter module provides the interface
between the amplifier and receiver, and the Tx/Rx antenna
system. In addition to the duplexer functionality it also contains a
low noise pre-amplifier, a two-way multicoupler and a power
supply/alarm unit for the TTLNA support. The standard Lucent
Filter Module supports both standalone and antenna sharing
configurations.

The common assets used by all of the Lucent UMTS Node B

products provide flexibility in configuration and allow a common
spares pool. These assets include filters, amplifiers and digital
circuit packs.

Technical Performance
The UMTS Macrocell Compact supports configurations up to 3
sectors with 2 carriers per sector and an RF output of 20W at the
antenna interface. Hardware support for second carrier, 40W
configurations and Transit Diversity are available as options.
UMTS Channel Unit (UCU) Cards: UCU cards are the
baseband modules that provide the required capacity, in the
different Node B types, for traffic and signalling. They are a
pooled resource that can be allocated dynamically across the air
interface. Adding UCU cards increases baseband capacity and
the capacity per UCU is continually being enhanced by Lucent.
UMTS Radio cards (MCR): With the Multi-Carrier Radio,
growth to second carrier configurations for the Macrocell are
supported. The 15MHz MCR is a single slot card and is
common across the UMTS Node B portfolio. Versions to support
850MHz, 1900 MHz and 2100MHz are available, and dual-band
configurations are supported.
Support of Future Enhancements: The UMTS Node B
portfolio has been designed for an IP-based future, and to scale
in capacity as demand dictates and technology allows.
Additional features such as RACH/FACH, HSDPA and the later
introduction of E-DCH offer improvements and increases in
baseband capacity for higher data rates.

Deployment and Connectivity

Mechanical Data

A major concern when rolling out UMTS networks is knowing

that the network will be able to provide the required coverage
and capacity. Lucents Node B products provide an in-built
downlink-loading tool the Orthogonal Channel Noise
Simulator (OCNS) - to ensure that the initial network design can
be tested with realistic levels of load before high traffic levels are
experienced.

Front access to the installed cabinet allows placement with its

back or side directly against a wall and with low height and
weight provides a solution for rooftop sites. Furthering its
deployment flexibility, the design of the Compact permits
external RF cables to be routed from either bottom or top of the
cabinet, with power and other cabling routed through the bottom
of the cabinet.
OA&M: The Operations and Maintenance Centre (OMC),
manages the Macrocell remotely. Connectivity is also included
to allow a technician with a PC-based Local Maintenance
Terminal (LMT) to manage system parameters during
installation and maintenance.
OCELOT: Drawing upon Lucents extensive CDMA
experience, Bell Labs developed a predictive optimization tool
called OCELOT, which creates a model of a mobile network
using input such as road maps, base-station locations and traffic
information. The software can then analyze how each antenna
should be pointed, tilted and powered to operate the network for
optimal coverage and capacity. Unlike other optimization
techniques, OCELOT can simultaneously optimize for multiple
service types, virtually eliminating the need for lengthy drive
tests. Net capacity improvements of up to 35% have been
achieved in operational networks through the use of Ocelot
optimization.

The complete installation and commissioning process is based on

the concept of Plug and Play, i.e. once the system is installed
and switched on, the system itself will run self test, determine its
own configuration and make itself ready to integrate in the
network. Under normal circumstances this requires no test
equipment. The installation and commissioning effort on site is
minimized to ensure a rapid cost-efficient deployment.
