Rack Configuration ‘The BS-240/241 I family, with 8 transceivers per rack, is expandable up to 24 trans- ceivers (48 with FlexCU) in 3 racks and can be supplied in two versions: = a BS-240 for indoor installation = @BS-241 for outdoor installation There are 4 different types of rack: — Base rack/shelter (with core modules) Extension rack/shelter (for more then 8 carrier units) Service 1A rack/shetter (with AC/DC modules) Service2 rack/shelter (for LE and batteries)3.3 3.3.1 3.3.2 3.3.3 Carrier Related Modules ‘The carrier unit takes care of all carrer oriented tasks. In the uplink (UL) direction, two cr four RF signals (diversity) are recelved and finally converted into TRAU frames and signalling data. In the downlink (DL) direction, TRAU frames and signalling data are received from the core and converted into a GMSK or 8PSK modulated RF signal, which Is amplified to the desired power level. Different types of carrier related modules can be used: carrier units (CUs and GCUs), EDGE carrier units (ECUs) and flexible carrier units (FlexCUs). Each carrier unit can be replaced by another without any additional hardware change. = An ECU is similar to a GCU but with the additional support of 8PSK modulation. It converts the signalling and traffic data into a GMSK or 8PSK modulated signal. — AFlexCUis a complete two-carrier unit and its two TRX can be configured indepen- dentiy, e.g. into different sectors; GMSK and 8PSK modulated signals are supported CU, GCU, ECU and FlexCU modules may be installed in any kind of mixed configura- tions, For the typical and the guaranteed values of RF output power level see page 31 Carrier Units (CU) ‘The CU is a carrier unit variant which supports GMSK modulation. There are different variants of CUs for the several frequency bands GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 (‘efer also to Tab. 3.2) GSM Carrier Unit (GCU) ‘The GCU is a camier unit variant that supports GMSK modulation. ‘There are different variants of GCUs for the frequency bands GSM 900 and GSM 1800 (refer also to Tab. 3.2) EDGE Carrier Unit (ECU) ‘The EDGE carrier unit (ECU) can support EDGE functionality in uplink and downlink, In downlink direction, the signalling and traffic data are received from the core and ‘converted into GMSK or 8PSK modulated signals which are amplified to the desired ower level. With the introduction of EDGE itis possible to mix EDGE and non EDGE. timesiots on the same carrier. ‘There are different variants of ECUs for the several frequency bands GSM 860, GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 (refer also to Tab. 3.2) ‘The mechanical design of ECU is identical to that ofall other CU versions; itis therefore hardware compatible and fits into all BTSE racks/shelters.3.3.4 Flexible Carrier Unit (FlexCU) The FlexCU is a complete two-carrier unit with the same dimension and based on the ECU, Its two TRX can be configured independently, eg. into different sectors. The FlexGU either acts as two independent ECUs or as one carrier unit with four receivers, the so called “fourfold receive diversity’ mode. To improve the downlink in fourfold receive diversity mode itis recommended to activate the feature “Transmission Diversity Time Delay" In uplink direction four RF signals are received and converted into traffic and signalling data. In downlink direction traffic and signalling data are received and converted into two GMSK or 8PSK modulated signals which are ampltied to the desired power level. By using FlexCUs instead of other carrier units the number of carriers within the existing rack(s)ishetter(s) can be doubled. This is an ideal solution to double the capacity of BTSEs, an advantage not only for footprint restricted BTS sites, ‘A working FlexCU requires about 30% less power than two ECUs. As soon as a TRX is, idle, it is switched off. With this enhanced power saving mode the overall power consumption of an idle FlexCU (both TRX in idle state) is only appr. 40 Watt The FlexCU supports all frequency bands: GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900. There exists one type for each frequency band (refer also to Tab. 3.2)6 Abbreviations 8Psk ABISCON ACTC ACTM ACTP ADP.
