RBS 6601

RBS 6601 (Main Unit) is a very small indoor main unit that can be inserted into standard 19” racks already deployed at the site.

→ Designated successor product of RBS 3418

RRU Radio Remote Units, RRU are the naming of the radio designed to be mounted near the antenna to minimize the feeder loss, which gives drastically reduced site power consumption. The baseband controlling the RRU can be deployed either in macro enclosures (e.g. RBS 6101, 6301 or in the 19”RBS 6601.


RBS 6000 PRODUCTS –MAIN-REMOTE SOLUTIONS (2/2)

Transmission from two antenna arrays

Reception on two antenna arrays

MIMO: Different data streams (transport blocks) are transmitted on the different antennas

(TX diversity: Same transport blocks transmitted on the different antennas but with different encoding)

Increased peak data rate, 28 Mbps (with 16QAM)

Note: UE needs to support MIMO as well

Architecture RBS 3000 (GPB-Based)


Architecture RBS 3000 & RBS 6000 (CBU-based)

In the Control Base Unit (CBU)-based RBS, the digital part is served by a full or half-baseband subrack. The subrack contains the CBU, Random Access and Receiver (RAX), Transmitter (TX), Exchange Terminal (ET), and Radio Unit Interface (RUIF) boards.

Baseband UnitRadio Unit


Architecture RBS 6000 (WCDMA, DU-based)

In the Digital Unit (DU)-based RBS, the DU designed for WCDMA (DUW) is used. The DUW is connected to the RUs by a Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) cable and has three variants on the basis of capacity demands.

BASEBAND CAPACITY RESOURCE POOLING

Each DUW variant supports a maximum number of Channel Elements. The higher the capacity configuration for HSDPA resources is, the lower the remaining capacity for R99 (Defined by so called Resource_Ids). Resource pooling means flexible allocation of HSDPA resources according to the traffic demand.

Example: - DUW10 (DL BB capacity 128 CE, fully configured), 3 cells x 1 carrier with resource pooling

- Capacity License Key: max. 32 HS users/cc, max. 15 HS codes/cc

- Pool Configuration for RBS: 30 HS codes with dynamic allocation, 96 HS users

⇒ With pool configuration of 96 HS users for the RBS, there are 65 CEs left for R99 traffic.

USE CASE 4: REPLACEMENT OF FAULTY DUW

› Node identity can be restored if

– More than one RU is configured on the node, or if

– Only one DUW is replaced in a dual DUW configuration

› Otherwise, the node identity changes and the License Key File is no longer valid

– New LKF must be ordered with new DUWReplacement of DUW

– Installation of new LKF


USE CASE 5: REPLACEMENT OF FAULTY RU

→ New RU with (at least) same characteristics /

→ Replacement of RU

Note: License Key File is not affected since the relevant information is stored in the DUW

USE CASE 7: Emergency & CAPACITY SHORTAGE

Emergency Unlock (Basic Feature)

Used to immediately make all capacity and all features available for a node/group of nodes

Intended to be used in case of emergency such as earthquake, floods, …

Makes all capacities and features available in the node for a period of 7 days

Feature can be used twice for a node (then Emergency Unlock Reset feature key is required)

Delayed Activation of Capacity Control in RBS (Optional Feature)

Limit of licensed RBS DL/UL baseband capacity not immediately effective when this traffic level is reached

“Grace period” specified in the license key ⇒ full capacity available for a node until a number of days

By this feature, operators have time to expand baseband capacity license without traffic congestion when traffic reaches the licensed limit.
