Lucent UMTS Microcell Type M

Product Overview

This data sheet provides a high level description of the keyaspects of the Lucent UMTS Microcell Type M.

Lucent UMTS Microcell

Lucents UMTS Node B product range is specifically designed to

provide a range of flexible and high performance base stationsolutions with embedded cost optimizing features and highoperational availability in a UMTS network.

The UMTS Microcell is designed to enable operators tomaximize revenue by providing maximum coverage, and sufficient capacity to cover the increasing volumes of lucrativedata traffic. It can be easily deployed to cover hotspots.

A further reason to consider microcellular coverage is theincreasing public concern about the unsightliness of largemacrocellular installations. Microcellular installations can

provide an economic way to deploy wide coverage and capacityin urban areas, while avoiding traditional macrocellular installations wherever possible.

The UMTS Microcell comprises a complete single sector Node Bimplemented within a single compact weatherproof unit. TheMicrocell provides highly versatile deployment scenarios and can be either wall or pole mounted. AC and DC powered versions are available, and an external battery backup option can

be charged by the AC version.

The architecture of the Microcell Indoor is common to all LucentUMTS 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 antennasystem. In addition to the duplexer functionality it also contains alow noise pre-amplifier and a power supply/alarm unit for theTTLNA support.

Amplifier The Microcell uses the same high performance power amplifier module as the Lucent UMTS Macrocell range. Itsupports a single sector with transmit power of up to 20W, and this power can be used for a single RF carrier, or can be shared across 2 or 3 carriers.

Baseband Card Cage The UMTS baseband channel unitscontains the radios 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.

The common assets used by all of the Lucent UMTS Node B products provide flexibility in configuration and allow a commonspares pool. These assets include filters, amplifiers and digitalcircuit packs.

Technical Performance

The UMTS Microcell supports configurations up to 1 sector with3 carriers per sector, the RF output of 20W being shared amongstthe carriers.

UMTS Channel Unit (UCU) Cards: UCU cards are the baseband modules that provide the required capacity, in thedifferent 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 Microcell aresupported. The 15MHz MCR is a single slot card and iscommon across the UMTS Node B portfolio. For the Microcell850MHz and 1900 MHz versions are supported.

Support of Future Enhancements : The UMTS Node B portfolio has been designed for an IP-based future, and to scalein capacity as demand dictates and technology allows.Additional features such as RACH/FACH, HSDPA and the later introduction of E-DCH, BLAST/MIMO and Intelligent Antennas(IAs) offer improvements and increases in baseband capacity for higher data rates.

Deployment and Connectivity

A major concern when rolling out UMTS networks is knowingthat the network will be able to provide the required coverageand capacity. The Lucent UMTS Node B products provide an in-

built downlink loading tool the Orthogonal Channel NoiseSimulator (OCNS) to ensure that the initial network design can

be tested with realistic levels of load before high traffic levels areexperienced.

The complete installation and commissioning process is based onthe concept of Plug and Play, i.e. once the system is installed and switched on, the system itself will run self test, determine itsown configuration and make itself ready to integrate in thenetwork. Under normal circumstances this requires no testequipment. The installation and commissioning effort on site isminimized to ensure a rapid cost-efficient deployment.

The Microcell provides highly versatile deployment scenariosand can be wall, pole or floor mounted.

OA&M

The Operations and Maintenance Centre (OMC), manages theMicrocell remotely. Connectivity is also included to allow atechnician with a PC-based Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT)to manage system parameters during installation and maintenance.

OCELOT

Drawing upon Lucents extensive CDMA experience, Bell Labshas developed a predictive optimization tool called OCELOT,which creates a model of a mobile network using input such asroad maps, base-station locations and traffic information. Thesoftware can then analyze how each antenna should be pointed,tilted and powered to operate the network for optimal coverageand capacity. Unlike other optimization techniques, OCELOTcan simultaneously optimize for multiple service types, virtually

eliminating the need for lengthy drive tests. Net capacityimprovements of up to 35% have been achieved in operationalnetworks through the use of Ocelot optimization.

Transmission Links

Multiple standards for backhaul transmission links are available:

E1/T1 The URC cards each support up to eight links, including100 Ohm T1, 75 Ohm unbalanced E1, or 120 Ohm balanced E1.IMA (Inverse Multiplexing over ATM) is supported providing amajor increase in peak bandwidths.

E3/T3 Support of E3/T3 is possible using an optional upgradeon the URC card. Each card will support 2 E3/T3 interfaces.

STM1/OC3 Support of STM-1 is possible using an optional

upgrade on the URC card. . Each card will support 1+1 STM-1interfaces. Both electrical and optical terminations are supported.

Ethernet Support of Ethernet backhaul (IP RAN) within theMicrocell is planned using a next generation URC card.
