2.5 Electromagnetic Field Exposure

WARNING
Radio-frequency signals with high intensity are harmful to the human body.

Before installing or maintaining an antenna in a steel tower or a mast with a large number of
transmitter antennas, the operator should coordinate with the parties concerned to shut down the
transmitter antennas.

2.5.1 Introduction

The BTS emits RF radiation (radiation hazard). Operators have to follow the related local
regulations when erecting the BTS.

Operators of BTSs must also follow the related local regulations when erecting the BTS.

2.5.2 Limits and Guidelines on Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields

There are a number of international regulations, standards and guidelines for exposure to
electromagnetic fields. Several European countries have adopted the recommendation of the
council of the European Union. It was released on July 12, 1999, focusing on the harmful effects
of exposure to electromagentic fields. The recommendation is based on the guideline published
by the ICNIRP.

Table 2-2 gives a comparison among regulations and reference levels applied in different
countries.

Verord. 1999

Reference levels are provided for exposure assessment, that is to determine whether the basic
limit of restriction on exposure of humans to electromagnetic fields is exceeded. The basic
restriction on exposure to electromagnetic fields is based on established health effects and
biological considerations.

2.5.3 Location of Base Station Antennas


Base station antennas, the source of the radiation, are usually mounted.
l On freestanding towers, with a height up to 30 m, or
l On a tower on the top of buildings, or
l On rare occasion, to the side of the building

Generally, the height of the antenna position does not fall below 10 m. The power usually forms
a horizontal main beam and is slightly tilted downward. The remaining power forms into the
weaker beams on both sides of the main beam. The main beam, however, does not reach ground
level until the distance from the antenna position is around 50200 m.
The highest level of emission would be expected in close vicinity of the antenna and in line of
sight to the antenna.

2.5.4 Exclusion Zones


The requirements for exclusion zones are as follows.
l Antenna location should be designed so that the public cannot access the area where the
RF radiation exceeds the levels as described earlier.
l If areas, where the RF radiation exceeds the prescribed level, are accessible to the workers,
make sure that workers know where these areas are, and that they can power off (or shut
down) the transmitters before entering these areas. Such areas may not exist; but if they do,
they must be confined to areas within 10 m of the antennas.
l Each exclusion zone should be defined by a physical barrier and by a recognizable sign
warning the public or workers.

Commissioning Guide 2 Safety Information

2.5.5 Guidelines on Arranging Antenna Sites


The guidelines on arranging the antenna sites are as follows.
l For roof-mounted antennas, raise the antennas above the height of the persons, who may
have to work in the rooftop.
l For roof-mounted antennas, keep the transmitter antennas away from the areas where
people are most likely to be, such as roof access points, telephone service points, and HVAC
device.
l For roof-mounted directional antennas, place the antennas near the periphery, and do not
make the antennas face to the building.
l Consider the trade-off between large aperture antennas (lower maximum RF) and small
aperture antennas (lower visual impact).
l Pay special attention to keep higher-power antennas away from accessible areas.
l Keep the antennas in a site that is far away, though this may contradict the local zone
requirements.
l Exercise extra caution when designing co-location sites, that is, where multiple antennas
owned by different companies are located. This applies particularly to sites that include
high-power broadcast (FM/TV) antennas. Local zone often favors co-location, but co-
location may cause safety problems.
l Take special precautions for antenna sites near hospital and schools.

2.5.6 Location of Base Transceiver Station


The base transceiver station (BTS) is shielded from RF radiation hazards. The device has been
tested to comply with the radioactive spurious emission requirements of EN 301 502. These
limits fall below the limits for RF radiation hazard. Therefore, the BTS does not cause danger
to the public and workers under normal operation condition. However, it is still possible that
because of imperfect antenna cables or other faults the limits set out above can be exceeded.
l BTS sites should not be accessible to the public. Only authorized and trained workers should
access sites or rooms.
l Doors of the site or room shall be clearly marked. For example, mark a sign warning the
workers that inside the site or room where the RF radiation might exceed limits for radiation
exposure.
l BTS sites shall be regularly monitored and inspected after installation.

2.5.7 Prediction of the Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields


The section provides a theoretical approach to calculate possible exposure to electromagnetic
radiation around a BTS antenna. Precise statements are possible either with measurements or
complex calculations considering the complexity of the environment, such as soil conditions,
nearby buildings and other obstacles. The complexity may cause reflections and deflection,
scattering of electromagnetic fields.
The maximum output power (given in EIRP) of a BTS is usually limited by license conditions
of the network operator.
For the BTS30, the number of carriers (TRXs) is 6 with a maximum output power of 40 W (46
dBm) each.

2 Safety Information Commissioning Guide

A rough estimation of the expected exposure in power flux density on a given point can be made
with the following equation:

P = Maximum output power in W

G numeric = Numeric gain (see below)

r = Distance between the antenna and the point of exposure in meters

For the calculation of the Gain numeric:

Gnumeric = 10GdB/10

GdB = Gantenna(dB) - Bvertical-attenutation(dB) - Bhorizontal-attenuation(dB)B = attenuation in dB

B = attenuation in dB

2.5.8 Laser
The laser hazard level of this device is Class 1.

WARNING
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look at the optical fiber outlet directly
with unaided eyes.

General Laser Information


Laser transceivers or transmitters are used in the optical transmission system and associated test
tools. The wavelength of the laser is between 780 nm and 1600 nm. Because the laser is
transmitted through the optical fiber, it has very high power density and is invisible to human
eyes. When a beam of light enters the eye, the retina may be damaged.

Laser of wavelengths used in telecommunications can cause thermal damage to the retina.

Lasers used in lightwave systems have a larger beam divergence, typically 10 to 20 degrees.
Viewing an un-terminated fiber or damaged fiber with the unaided eye at distances greater than
150 mm (6 inches) will normally not cause eye injury. However, damage may occur if an optical
tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass or eye loupe is used to view the energized fiber end.

In its normal operating mode, a lightwave system is totally enclosed and presents no risk of eye
injury. Additional safety is achieved by an automatic laser shut-down (ALS) of the system. The
ALS, however, can be applied for bi-directional transmission only. If the receiver side does not
detect the laser from the transmission side, it will give the transmission side a signal. Upon
receiving the signal, the ALS will shut down the laser emission within 100 ms.

Laser Safety Guidelines


Read the following guidelines to avoid laser radiation:

14.9 Faulty NCP and CCPs


This describes the fault symptom, cause analysis, and handling suggestions for the faulty NCP
and CCPs.

Fault Symptom
Connection of the NCP and CCPs is faulty.

Analysis
The fault may occur due to the following causes:
l Communication failure in IP transport network
l Inconsistent negotiated configuration data at both sides

Handling Suggestions
1. Check whether pinging the signaling address of the RNC is available on the NodeB LMT.
If pinging the signaling address of the RNC fails, ping the IP address of the network that
connects the PIE board, and check whether the internal route of the RNC and the route of
the NodeB are correctly set.
2. If the fault persists not due to faulty route, check the transmission status.
l When the FE ports are applied to the networking on the NodeB, check the cable
connection and the FE port status. For details, refer to 14.7 FE Port in DOWN State.
l When the E1/T1 cables are applied to the networking on the NodeB, alarms are reported.
Then, check the transmission status. For details, refer to the related online help for
corresponding alarms.
3. If ping the signaling address of the RNC succeeds, check whether the SCTP port number
of the NodeB and that of the RNC are consistent, and whether the IP addresses configured
on both sides are in the same network segment.
4. If an NCP fault occurs after the NodeB is started, check whether there is an alarm related
to the data configuration file. If there is an alarm related to the data configuration file,

download a valid data configuration file to the NodeB, reset the NodeB, and then configure
the file correctly.

14.10 Faulty E1 Links


This describes the fault symptom, cause analysis, and handling suggestions for the faulty E1
links.

Fault Symptom
When the logical cell and all the upper-layer links are available,
l If you run the command DSP E1T1 on the RNC side, the E1/T1 link is available. If you
run this command on the NodeB side, the E1/T1 link is Abnormal.
l In a loopback, if you use the command DSP E1T1 on the NodeB side, the E1 link changes
to link in loop. When the E1 link is changed to No Loop, it changes to Normal
for a moment, and then changes back to Abnormal.

Analysis
The fault may occur due to the following causes:
l Incorrect ATM traffic configuration
l Faulty physical connection of cables
l Incorrect setting of the E1/T1 mode

Handling Suggestions
1. Check the transmission channels to ensure that all the transmission channels are available.
2. Check the physical connection of the cables to ensure that the connection is sound and all
the links are available.
3. Check the E1/T1 mode. When the E1/T1 cable is set to the double-frame mode on the
NodeB side and multi-mode on the RNC side, the E1/T1 link is still available on the RNC
side, but the E1/T1 link on the NodeB side is displayed as Abnormal.

Summary of Suggestions
Though the default setting is multi-mode, the setting of the E1/T1 mode should be checked when
the fault occurs.

14.11 Removal of a Cell After Setup


This describes the fault symptom, cause analysis, and handling suggestions for the problem that
a cell is removed after setup.

Fault Symptom
A cell cannot be set up. The cell is removed after setup through the Iub interface tracing. The
RNC reports that a common channel fails to be established, but the message is not found on the
Iub interface.

14-8 Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Issue 04 (2009-06-30)

NodeB
Commissioning Guide 14 NodeB Commissioning FAQs

Analysis
The fault may occur due to insufficient configured bandwidth.

Handling Suggestions
1. Deactivate and then activate the cell on the RNC side to check whether the cell is restored.
2. If the cell is not restored, check whether the bandwidth for the IP path on the RNC side is
sufficient. Set the bandwidth of the IP path on the RNC side to 100 Mbit/s and set the
bandwidth type to RT. This ensures successful setup of the common channel. If the fault
is caused by improper settings of the bandwidth, set the bandwidth to the default value. For
example, set the bandwidth of an E1 link to 1.92 Mbit/s.
3. If the fault persists after the IP path bandwidth is modified, keep tracing the results on the
RNC side to find the causes to the fault.

14.12 Repeated Establishment and Removal of the CCH


After Cell Setup
This describes the fault symptom, cause analysis, and handling suggestions for the fault that the
common channel (CCH) is repeatedly established and removed after the setup of a cell.

Fault Symptom
After a cell is set up, the common channel is removed. The result on the RNC side shows that
the common channel fails to be synchronized.

Analysis
The cause may be that the data links are faulty or heavy packet loss exists.

Handling Suggestions
1. Ensure that a route is added to the address of the RNC data link plane configured on the
NodeB side. If no, add the route. If the route for the equipment of the network is incorrect,
modify the route configuration.
2. If the fault persists, check the request and response for establishing common channel on
the Iub interface, and then check whether the IP address is correct.
l If the IP address requested by the RNC is incorrect, modify the IP address of the IP path
on the RNC side.
l If the IP address replied by the NodeB is incorrect, modify the IP address of the IP path
on the NodeB side and reset the NodeB.

14.13 Removal of the Common Channel Upon Call


Initiation
This describes the fault symptom, cause analysis, and handling suggestions for the failure that
the common channel is removed upon call initiation.

Issue 04 (2009-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 14-9

NodeB
14 NodeB Commissioning FAQs Commissioning Guide

Fault Symptom
When the network is connected through FE ports, the cells are successfully set up. The following
cases, however, may occur:
l Common channels are removed after a call is initiated. This causes communication failure.
l The common channel is periodically removed. This causes the disruption of activated
services.

Analysis
The cause may be the quality of the user plane channel.

Handling Suggestions
1. Check the route configurations. Ensure that pinging the IP address is available.
2. If the common channel is successfully established, the IP path is operational.
3. Check the configuration and the status of the FE ports. Insufficient bandwidth may cause
the congestion, which causes in low packet transmission rate or packet loss and even
removal of the common channel.

Solutions
Modify the LR configurations and set the bandwidth of the port to the bandwidth of the physical
port.

14.14 Failure to Activate the HSDPA Service


This describes the fault symptom, cause analysis, and handling suggestions for the failure to
activate the HSDPA service.

Fault Symptom
The HSDPA service at 1920 kbit/s fails to be activated, but the R99 service at 64 kbit/s can be
successfully activated.

Analysis
The fault may occur due to the following causes:
l The cell is not configured with the HSDPA function or the HSDPA is not activated.
l The RNC is not configured with the IP path of the HSDPA-NRT.
l If the maximum rate of the USIM card registered in the HLR is set to 384 kbit/s or smaller,
the HSDPA service may not be activated. Only the service at 384 kbis/s can be activated.

Handling Suggestions
1. Check whether the HSDPA service is configured on the RNC side and if the HSDPA cell
is activated. If not, configure the HSDPA service on the RNC side and activate the HSDPA
cell.

2. Check whether the HSDPA-NRT IP path is configured on the RNC side. Ensure that the
bandwidth of the IP path is sufficient enough. Otherwise, the IP path may be unavailable.
After the configuration, re-activate the cell.
3. If the cell cannot be re-activated, trace the signaling over the Uu interface and search out
the cause of the fault.

Solutions
Modify the configurations of the HSDPA services on the RNC side and on the NodeB side.
Modify the configuration of the HSDPA IP path.

14.15 Alarms Related to RET/STMA Links


This describes the fault symptom, cause analysis, and handling suggestions for the alarms related
to the RET/STMA links.

Fault Symptom
