9326 d2U introduction

The 9326 d2U is a digital rack designed to be connected to one of the following products

via optical fiber links:

RRH20-21

RRH40

9332 rCompact OD

The Alcatel-Lucent Remote Radio solution improves flexibility for deploying mobile

broadband Node Bs in space-constrained locations. It is particularly suited to

macro-cellular applications in dense areas, where site acquisition is difficult, and on sites

where installation constraints prevent the use of legacy Node Bs.

Compared to legacy Node B site deployment, the Remote Radio solution provides the

following benefits:

Reduced volume, weight, footprint, acoustic noise, and power consumption Reduced cost of feeder paths from the Node B to the antenna

Increased RF power per carrier at the antenna feeder

Reduced radio loss with use of the remote RF block concept, which eliminates the

distance between the radio amplifier and the antenna

The Remote Radio solution provides for the UMTS system:

The means of communication between a User Equipment (UE) and a network using

Transport Channels

Physical layer channels, which are necessary to synchronize the downlink and

perform cell selection/reselection and handover preparation Measurement information to the RNC for radio resource management (handover,

power control)

The 9326 d2U provides up to eight E1/T1 with Inversion Multiplexing ATM (IMA) or

Drop-and-Insert capability (fractional E1/T1). The 9326 d2U also supports multi-PCM

without IMA.

The 9326 d2U delivers high UMTS radio performances and supports the enhanced High

Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and High Speed Uplink Packet Access

(HSUPA) solutions through easy software upgrade.

The 9326 d2U is compliant with the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI).

9326 d2U enclosure

The 9326 d2U provides the operators with a suited solution whatever the site constraints.

The 9326 d2U can be installed in a standalone indoor mode or in the user space of an

existing indoor or outdoor Node B cabinet.

The 9326 d2U is factory-equipped with a specific shielded faceplate.

9326 d2U features and functions

The 9326 d2U supports the following functions:

Call processing


Network interface

Configuration/supervision

Synchronization

Call Processing (CallP)

The call processing function is in charge of the radio resource management inside the

Node B. This function manages the UMTS services (described in 3GPP standards) and

the internal services used for configuration and implementation purposes.

The call processing function is also in charge of: Common channel management, which includes setup, release, and modification

procedures

Dedicated channel management, which includes setup, release, and modification

procedures

Cell management, which includes setup, deletion, and modification of a cell

Power control for controling UE power emission

Softer handover, in which a single Node B manages the cells in communication with

the UE

Call processing is mapped on iCCM-U and iCEM-U.

The Node B call processing supports the multiple iCEM-U. The multiple iCEM-U (or

multi iCEM-U) enables to use several iCEMs-U for call processing management.


The performance monitoring function is in charge of collecting performance

measurement data from the network interface function and from the

configuration/supervision function.

The measurement data is used to calculate and report performance data to the RNC for

traffic control and to the W-NMS for network operation and tuning.

Network interface

This function is in charge of managing interfaces with RNC:

Physical layer management (configuration, alarm reporting)

Layer 2 (IMA and switching for example)

The standard network interface of the 9326 d2U is eight PCM E1/T1, with a layer-2

Inversion Multiplexing ATM (IMA) machine handling up to four IMA groups, fractional

PCM (Drop-and-Insert capability), and redundancy management.

Configuration/supervision

This function is in charge of

Module configuration and supervision

Inventory information reporting

Plug-and-play management

The remote inventory functionality allows the UMTS OAM access to determine the state

of the Node B and its composition. The remote inventory is performed for the following

modules: iCEMs-U and iCCM-U.

Synchronization

This function is in charge of retrieving highly stable radio frequency from either the

network interface or the optional GPS receiver.

The 9326 d2U can be synchronized through the following means:

E1/T1 PCM link (standard synchronization mechanism)

The E1/T1 link used for synchronization does not carry any data traffic.

Local GPS receiver

In the GPS-based synchronization solution, the iCCM-U module is connected to aGPS smart antenna/receiver and provide GPS synchro source (Pulse Per Second(PPS) synchro input from the antenna).

9326 d2U external interfaces

The 9326 d2U is equipped with four main types of external interface:

E1/T1 network interface (Iub)

Optical interface (RRH)

Alarm/remote control interfaces (optional)

Power supply interface (DC input)

Network interface

This interface consists in eight E1 or T1 PCM links:

E1 link complies with ITU G703/G704.

T1 link is based on ANSI standard.

The raw data rate between Node B and RNC can rise up to 15.872 Mbit/s (E1) or 12.288

Mbps (T1). Depending on the data flow, ATM AAL2 and AAL5 are used on the abovephysical link through IMA. The IMA framing provides for physical link performance

monitoring and management.

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. Three types of baluns can be used: BNC, 1.6/5.6, or SMZ type 43.

Optical interface

The optical interface consists of three ports (depending on the configuration), which

correspond to the connections to up to three RRH20-21 or three RRH40.

Alarm/remote control interfaces (optional)

Optionally, connectivity for 16 external alarms and six remote controls (including

lightning protection) is provided.

Power supply interface

The 9326 d2U provides cable entry for 48 V DC power.

The iCEM-U is based on the iCEM-2 128.

The iCEM-U supports up to 128 channel elements.

The 9326 d2U is factory-equipped with one iCEM-U and can house up to three iCEMs-U,depending on the configuration requirements.

The following figure shows the iCEM-U front panel.

Main functions

The iCEM-U comprises two main functional blocks:

The Base-Band Unit (BBU)

The BBU performs all the transmit and receive base-band signal processing functionsfor each of the UMTS channels supported (layer 1 of the UMTS radio network).

The Interface and Control Unit (ICU)

The ICU provides data, control and timing interfaces to the 9326 d2U. It alsoperforms iCEM-U control and management functions.

The iCEM-U performs digital signal processing for both the Tx and Rx paths. TheiCEM-U processes all types of UMTS physical channels in both the uplink and downlink

directions. Processing differs according to the type of physical channels. High-rate data

channels require much more processing power than low-rate speech channels. The

architecture of the iCEM-U is well adapted to UMTS physical channel diversity. The

iCEM-U hardware is designed to support up to two UMTS frequencies for three-sector

operation and two branch transmit and receive diversity per sector.
