UTRAN introduction
The UTRAN is composed of at least one Radio Network Subsystem (RNS). An RNS
covers a certain geographical area. It is equivalent to the GSM BSS. Each RNS is
composed of one Radio Network Controller (RNC) and one or more Node Bs. RNSs are
interconnected through the Iur interface of each RNC to form a network.

Power control is used to control the power emission of the user equipment.
Handover is a special case of soft handover called softer handover: the same Node B
manages cells that communicate with user equipment.
Call processing is mapped on the CCM, TRM, and CEM.
The Node B Call processing supports the multiple CEM or multi-CEM, which allows
using several CEMs for call processing management.
Performance monitoring
The 9311 Macro ID supports the following types of transport on the Iub interface:
ATM
Hybrid ATM / IP
Native IP
Configuration/supervision
This function is in charge of configuring and supervising the modules as well as insuring
inventory information reporting and plug-and-play management.
The remote inventory functionality allows the OAM access to determine the state of the
Node B and its composition. The remote inventory is done for the following modules:
DDMs, MCPAs, CEMs, CCMs, and TRMs.
Synchronization

OTSR configuration
OTSR is the smallest configuration. It uses a single Power Amplifier and a 3-way
Transmit Splitter to transmit in the three directions. Each emitted signal has the same
power. On emission, the OTSR configuration is an equivalent to an omni-directional
transmission, thus the Node B is declared at the RNC as a single cell. On reception, the
OTSR configuration is equivalent to one of a 3-sector Node B in permanent 3-way softer
handover. Search and combination are systematically performed by one of the three
received signals. The OTSR configuration is only supported in UMTS 2100.
Note: The OTSR configuration is not supported with xCEM boards.
OTBR configuration
STSR is the standard three-sector configuration. The Node B is logically declared at the
RNC as three cells. The user equipment reports the measurements for the three sectors
and softer handover is controlled by the network.
The power allocation with STSR configuration is independent across sectors.

How to populate a Node B from an STSR1/BTBR1 configuration to an
STSR2/BTBR2 configuration?
To populate a Node B from an STSR1/BTBR1 configuration to an STSR2/BTBR2
configuration the following frequency ranges are considered:
In Uplink, two TRMs are needed. Each TRM receives one frequency carrier.
In Downlink, a simple upgrade from STSR1/BTBR1. The additional TRM is not used
for transmission. The existing TRM is configured to generate three 2-carrier signals
(for STSR2 configuration) or two 2-carrier signals (for BTBR2 configuration). In case
of a TRM failure:
Replace the two iTRMs with two xTRMs/xTRMs-2, or add one xTRM/xTRM-2 to
the existing xTRM/xTRM-2
Resize the CEMs
Add three MCPAs
Configure an additional frequency carrier (f3)
Replace the two iTRMs with two xTRMs/xTRMs-2, or add one xTRM/xTRM-2 to
the existing xTRM/xTRM-2
Replace the two iTRMs with two xTRMs/xTRMs-2, or add one xTRM/xTRM-2 to
the existing xTRM/xTRM-2
Resize the CEMs
Configure two additional frequency carriers (f3, f4)
Configure six more cells (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12)
The 9311 Macro ID supports the OTSR1, OTBR1, BTBR1, BTBR2, STSR1, STSR2,
STSR3, STSR1+1, STSR2+1, and STSR2+2 configurations.

6 sectors
In 6-sector configuration or 3+3 sector configuration, the Node B can manage up to six
sectors distributed in 2-cluster configuration, where each cluster can support up to three
sectors, and each sector up to two frequency carriers.
6-sector configuration enables the Node B to manage up to 12 cells, and therefore to
increase the Node B coverage and capacities.
6-sector configuration is seen as two times 3-sector, with Softer Handover allowed
inside each cluster (same frequency for all sectors), but not supported between the two
clusters. Mobility between clusters is realized through Soft Handover.
Since UA06.0, 6-sector Softer Handover is also supported with xCEM, for HSPA traffic.
These 6 sectors can be either two clusters of three conventional sectors (using TRM,
MCPA, and DDM), all supported by the Node B cabinet hardware, or one cluster of three
conventional sectors plus another cluster of three remote sectors (using Remote Radio
Heads (RRHs)).
The notation of the various configurations used in 6 sectors are:

y the number of frequencies (1 or 2) on the first sector managed by the DDMs of the
second DDM shelf
a, b, and c are respectively the number of frequencies (0, 1, or 2) for RRH of optical
output 1, 2, and 3
Note: Depopulation in terms of sectors is possible.
Note: x can be equal to 1+1. In this case, the second cluster is a 3-remote sector with
RRHs.

Only one TRM can be used for the second local cluster. As a result, when the second
cluster is an STSR2, it is necessary to install an xTRM which is the only TRM-type
module able to manage two frequencies.
For more information about xTRM, see section expandable TRM (xTRM) (p. 6-57).
OMC-B is configured to detect the second DDM shelf. In 6 local sectors, the first cluster
corresponds to the first DDM shelf and the second cluster to the second DDM shelf.
The Node B supports up to six DDMs and up to six MCPAs.
OTSR is not supported in 6 sectors.
Tx diversity is not supported.
HSDPA is supported in 6 sectors.

The raw data rate between Node B and RNC is 1.984 Mbps (for E1) and 1.53 Mbps (for
T1).
Depending on the data flow, ATM protocols AAL2 and AAL5 are used on the physical
link between the Node B and the RNC.
Iub backhauling can be optimized using Alcatel-Lucent 9500 Microwave Packet Radio
(MPR).
Hybrid Iub
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 native IP Iub interface consists of a full IP/Ethernet transport on Iub interface. When
native IP Iub feature is deployed, the ATM/PCM connectivity is no more used on Iub.
The native Iub interface requires an xCCM module (configuration xCCM-GE)
PCM connection cables
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Note: PCM cables vary according to the use of an iCCM or an xCCM module.
In the case of a 120-ohm network, the only equipment needed to ensure the PCM
connection is the 120-ohm PCM cable.
In the case of a 75-ohm network, it is necessary to have baluns (two baluns per PCM) to
ensure adaptation from the 120 ohm of the Node B to the 75 ohm of the customer
network. Two types of baluns can be used: BNC, 1.6/5.6, or SMZ type 43.

The iCCM functionalities are similar to the CCM's, but it further provides the duplex
configuration (iCCM redundancy), as follows:
In case of switch-over, all communications are lost. But the OMC-B (the OAM part
which manages the Node B) is kept synchronized between active and passive iCCM.
When the iCCM is activated, it needs to be configured only by RNC.
HSSPC: five HSSPC2 operating in dual device turbo have replaced the nine HSSPC2
operating in the single device turbo mode on the CCM
New routing table compared to the CCM: Rlink and Flink driver replaced by BBlink
One iCCM supports up to three wide-band carriers with transmit and receive diversity in
a tri-sectored carrier configuration.
Hardware description
The iCCM board is packaged into a dual slot iCCM module (iCCM board + filler board)
whose size is similar to the CCM module (50 mm wide).

The TRM 1900, which delivers up to four PCS 1900 (W-CDMA) carriers on a single
output including control loop to fix the level at MCPA input.
The TRM 2100, which delivers up to four UMTS (W-CDMA) carriers on a single
output including control loop to fix the level at MCPA input.
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.
Clock generation and recovery operation
The TRM also performs clock generation and recovery operation. The clock is recovered
from the link with the CCM, and sent to the TRM (rTRM). This board generates the clock
signals for the A/D converters of the receiving branch and the A/D converters of the
transmitting branch.

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.

HSSL loop-back control via Dallas one-wire bus: This loopback is performed on the
electrical signal, when this loopback is activated the optical transmission is disabled
to prevent disturbing the RRH.
The C1OIM variant provides one single bidirectional optical fiber interface or SFP to
carry duplex digital and optical communications with the RRH: transmit wavelength is
1, receive wavelength is 2.
The C1OIM handles the optical transmission of one HSSL link in one single bidirectional
optical fiber interface toward RRH.
This function is based on the use of one single fiber bidirectional optoelectronic
transceiver to carry duplex digital and optical communications with the first RRH in the
daisy chain.
In downlink, the C1OIM receives two HSSL links from the active and passive iCCM-2
via the fiber. The C1OIM sends its data stream to the optical transceiver, which converts
the signal into an optical one.
In uplink, the C1OIM optical transceiver converts the optical signal into electrical HSSL
link. The C1OIM sends the received bit streams to both iCCM-2 boards.

GPxOIM board
The GPxOIM board is embedded in the GPxOIM mechanics. It is located on the right
side of the 9311 Macro ID digital shelf.
The GPxOIM board has the same functions as the GPSAM and compact GPSAM
(cGPSAM) housed in other cabinets of the Node B portfolio. The GPxOIM board is
similar to the cGPSAM: the same Printed-Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) is used. The
main differences between GPxOIM board and cGPSAM are the front panel height and
some slight changes on serigraphy.
The GPxOIM board only works with an Indoor 2 (current 9311 Macro ID, former
UMTS BTS 12010-600-2)) and with a DBP602 digital backplane (optional).
Main functions
Collection of information about the state of the 9311 Macro ID: alarms, inventory and
presence of FRUs, commissioning
Supply of timing information
Only alarms
The inventory and alarm collection process of the 9311 Macro ID is based on the Dallas
one-wire bus.
Alarms, remote inventory information and commissioning information are collected
through this Dallas one-wire bus and stored by the GPxOIM board. The Dallas one-wire
bus is connected to the internal modules of the 9311 Macro ID.
In this inventory and alarm collection process:
The GPxOIM board is the hardware master on the bus, under control of the iCCM-2
software.
The GPxOIM board physically drives several buses to all modules within the 9311
Macro ID cabinet that provide inventory memory and alarms.
The C2OIM one-wire interface is used to control output I/O pins and allows the
iCCM-2 to manage the C2OIM remotely.

Operating mode
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.
Main functions
The MCPA module provides downlink signal amplification. The aim of the MCPA is to
amplify the RF signal delivered by the TRM.
According to the Node B configuration, the MCPA is connected to the antenna through:
The third generation MCPA modules (MCPA-3) handle from one to three UMTS carriers
(15 MHz operation).

MCPA 60W
The MCPA 60W module has the following characteristics:
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:
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.
The MCPA 60W handles up to three UMTS carriers (15 MHz maximum instantaneous
bandwidth).
From a functional architecture point of view, the MCPA 60W consists of the following
parts:
One PA pallet
The PA pallet amplifies the selected RF signal coming from the xTRM output to the
required output level, and delivers feedback signals to the xTRM with the BBPD
algorithm ( only with MCPA 60W-B).
One PA control board
The PA control board manages the PA pallet (including the power detection) and the
power supply unit.

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)

An iCEM/xCEM is removed from the pool of usable CEMs in the following cases:
The operational state of the iCEM/xCEM becomes disabled. This happens when:
The iCEM/xCEM is totally or partially in failure. The Node B does not manage
degraded CEMs
The iCEM/xCEM is physically removed from the Node B
The administrative state of the iCEM/xCEM becomes locked
Adding an iCEM/xCEM to the pool of CEMs is done at startup.
The CEM pool is managed as a single source of processing power through the load
balancing feature.
The CEM pool management offers to the iCEM and xCEM a coexistence inside the Node
B digital shelf, while ensuring the heterogeneous management of various module types as
a common resource for Node B call-processing.
Increasing the number of PCMs (multi PCM)
It is possible to use more than one PCM link to increase the backhaul capacity.
The Node B supports two Multi PCM features for the external connection:
The connection between the Node B and the RNC provides the following functions:
Up to 4 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)

IMA over PCM
The purpose of IMA is to multiplex ATM cell streams over PCM links and to retrieve the
original stream at far end from these links. IMA is supported on all Node B types.
IMA is used to increase the cell stream throughput between the Node B and the RNC. It
provides a physical layer for Iub and for Node B specific O&M signaling. It also provides
transparent transport of the ATM layer and higher
The IMA provides:
The Node B IMA feature provides also up to eight ports per IMA group. That is one to
eight physical ports per logical UNI.
The IMA combines the cell from physical ports for transport with preservation of cell
order and cell format.
The following figure shows an example of how an IMA link group can be used on the
transmission interface between the Node B and the RNC via the Access Equipment.

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 aggregating traffic
from several Node Bs. The Access Equipment offers 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 implies 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.
Increasing the number of RF carriers
Adding a carrier to an OTSR1 configuration does not require to disconnect any existing
RF cable.
Upgrading from STSR1 to STSR2 does not require to disconnect any existing RF cable:
the additional iTRM needed for STSR2 is used in reception and for Tx redundancy.
Upgrading from STSR2 to STSR3 can follow the same approach and can be done without
any disconnection (the third iTRM is used in reception only). However, in order to
increase the STSR3 configuration reliability, it is recommended to use each iTRM for
transmission in one sector: two RF cables have to be disconnected from the two existing
iTRMs and connected to the third one.
Upgrading an OTSR configuration to an STSR configuration
This upgrade requires RF disconnection since the Tx Splitter has to be replaced by two
MCPAs.

The TIL is connected to the CCM module through the Ethernet connection.
Two connection modes are available from the TIL:
Peer-to-peer connection
In this mode, the TIL connection to the equipment depends on the CCM module type,
as described in the following table:
If the CCM module hosted in the
equipment is a...
CCM/iCCM/iCCM-U/iCCM-2
xCCM/xCCM-U
Remote connection
In this mode, the TIL is connected to a LAN/WAN network. This connection is
available only if the equipment is integrated in the UMTS network and active (not
locked).
The connection can be checked by doing a ping [IP address] command.
