Specification explanation
 1.General Introduction

 ZXG10 B8018 is new type of ZXG10-BTS, based on ZXG10-BTS

(V2)
 employs many new technologies and achieves great improvement
in software, hardware and system reliability.
 It not only has inherited all advantages of ZXG10-BTS (V2), but
also has added many new functions and services to satisfy market
requirements. In addition, it also reduces hardware and networking
cost.
 It is one of the most perfect serial BS and solve the problem that
cannot be solved by current ZXG10-BTS (V2).
 1.General Introduction

The main functions of ZXG10 B8018 are shown below:

 Employs DTRU technology, i.e. two carriers in each physical

transceiver module;
 Supports parallel connection with ZXG10-BTS (V2) cabinet to realize
capacity expansion;
 Supports DPCT, downlink delay diversity (DDT) transmission, IRC and
so on;
 Supports 4 diversities reception;
 Supports 8 E1/T1 interface;
 Supports 75Ω/E1 and 120Ω/E1 transmission;
 Supports intelligent power on/off;
 Supports IP Abis-interface.

 3.New features

The main features of ZXG10 B8018 is shown below:

 DTRU technology;
 DPCT-dual power combining Transmission;
 DDT-delay diversity transmission
 4-way diversity reception;
 IRC-Interference Rejection Combining;
 intelligent power on/off;
 TFO-Tandem free operation
 IP Abis-interface.
 3.New features - dTRU

 The dTRU is very flexible and can be used for several

purposes. Its two TRXs, for instance, can be used
separately or, by DPCT to improve the downlink and
four-way diversity to improve the uplink, they can be
configured to create a super TRX.
 3.New features - dTRU

One dTRU can easily be used to extend coverage

 3.New features - DPCT

 When seeking greater cell range it is crucial to have a

strong signal from the BTS to the handset. This is often
referred to as downlink capability. This is what a handset
presents as signal strength in the display. In
configurations intended for maximum coverage, Dual
Power Combining Transmission (DPCT) feature doubles
the output power from the BTS cabinet, resulting in a
significantly larger coverage area.

 3.New features – DDT

― Delay Diversity Transmission

 Purpose: supports downlink transmitter diversity (the mobile

phone combines the best of two signals).
 Implementation: by transmitting the same information on two
TRXs with a short delay and different antennas.
 using only a simple software command, operators can convert
the base station from a two transceiver operational mode into
the “DDT" mode, where the two transceivers work together as
one virtual transceiver, so extending the range.
 cellular downlink performance is increased by at least 3.0
decibels (dB) at the cell border, reducing the number of sites
needed by up to 30 percent over any conventional base station
coverage network.

 3.New features – 4 div RX

― 4 diversities reception

 The majority of radio networks today have limited range due to

weak uplink signals from handsets. The best way to overcome an
unbalanced link budget is to ensure good receiver capability in
the base station. With the addition of a second antenna system in
the cell, we enable 4-Way Receiver Diversity (4WRD), and this
provides a total uplink that compensates for weak handset signals.
 The combination of DPCT with fully compensated uplink based
on 4-way Receiver Diversity comprises our Supreme Coverage
solution.
 3.New features - IRC

― Interference Rejection Combining

 Another way to increase the capacity, more advanced detection

techniques have been implemented - Interference Rejection
Combining (IRC)
 In maximum ratio combining (MRC) each signal is weighted
with its signal-to-noise ratio to achieve optimum performance in
white noise environments, i.e. the noise signal is uncorrelated
in time.
 IRC, on the other hand, takes the correlation properties of CO-
channel interferers into account to suppress them, and
therefore is able to achieve much better performance in co-
channel limited environments than MRC.
 3.New features – Int. Pwr on/off

― Intelligent power on/off

 In order to reduce OPEX of operator, when traffic decrease

to certain value or in idle mode, this scheme automatically
to turn off part of Modules of B8018 to save power.
 When traffic increase to certain busy threshold, this scheme
automatically to turn on sleep module to balance the traffic.
 The principle is as follows: CMB is able to control the switch
of all board (mainly is DTRU) in rack except interface board
(EIB/FIB) and CMB.
 3.New features – TFO

 In a normal MS-MS call configuration the Speech Signal is first encoded in the
originating MS, sent over the Air Interface, converted to A-law or μ-law in the local
transcoder, carried over the fixed network, transcoded again in the distant transcoder,
sent over the distant Air Interface and finally decoded in the terminating MS. In this
configuration, the two speech codecs (coder/decoder pairs) are in "Tandem
Operation". The key inconvenience of a tandem configuration is the speech quality
degradation introduced by the double transcoding. This degradation is usually more
noticeable when the speech codecs are operating at low rates.
 When the originating and terminating connections are using the same speech codec,
it is possible to transmit transparently the speech frames received from the
originating MS to the terminating MS without activating the transcoding functions in
the originating and terminating networks. In this configuration, "Tandem Free
Operation" is on-going.

 One of the primary advantages of employing IP-based

transport is the ease of maintenance arising from
convergence of core and RAN networks.
