Flexi Multiradio BTS GSM/EDGE Product Overview
Flexi Multiradio BTS is a base transceiver station that is part
of the Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi BTS platform for
GSM/EDGE, WCDMA, and LTE networks.
It is a multiradio or multicarrier BTS that can use all these
network technologies either in dedicated or concurrent
mode of operation
Its modular design makes site acquisition and installation
easy, and reduces the time needed for rolling out network
coverage in a new area.
It allows using existing site space efficiently, the existing
Flexi BTS modules can be installed together with Flexi
Multiradio BTS modules.
The existing Flexi BTS cabinets and casings, power supplies,
and the 3G Flexi System Module can be used with Flexi
Multiradio modules.

Flexi Multiradio Architecture basic principles
Both GSM/EDGE and WCDMA/LTE have own separate system
modules when the BTS is used in concurrent mode having several
operational modes simultaneously.
The radio modules (RFM and RRH) as well as the antenna lines
could be shared between the system modules.
The interconnections between the system modules and the radios
can be routed through one system module or the connections can
be separate from both system modules.
In concurrent operation Flexi MR BTS is seen as two separate
logical network elements with common radio resources.
For internal use

Main functions of the modules
The System Module is the center of the system. It has all the
external interfaces of the BTS (apart from the antenna interfaces).
Main functions of the System Module are the Transport, BTS O&M,
synchronization, power distribution and baseband processing
functions. System Module interfaces support up to four Radio
Modules with local power feed. Radio modules are connected to
System Module through RP3-01 interfaces.
The Radio modules and RRHs contain both RF BB and RF

functions. They are multistandard and multicarrier transceivers.
RF BB includes RP3-01 interface with multifunctional ASICs and
controller. In addition of TX/RX lineups module has integrated front
end. RFM front end will be implemented with SW tunable filters.
RRH will have fixed full band filters.
For internal use
Simpler architecture with fewer units
Smallest starting configuration with 2 modules:

System Module (ESMB/ESMC)
RF Module (RFM/RRH)
System Modules are GSM/EDGE compliant, and RF Module can be
shared with WCDMA/LTE in concurrent mode.

There is a SW tunable pass band filter on each branch of the RFM module which is
tuned automatically by the BTS SW. The filter tuning range covers the whole RFM
bandwidth but the simultaneous bandwidth is limited as shown above

Each RFM branch (pipe) can support several carriers (frequency blocks for
WCDMA/LTE and virtual TRXs in case of GSM/EDGE) within the available RFM
bandwidth or the bandwidth can be shared between different technologies
Up to 6 carriers can be defined for GSM/EDGE (independently on RFM
bandwidth)
Carriers can be defined using 100 kHz frequency raster (minimum 400 kHz of
the carrier separation needs to be kept between GSM/EDGE carriers)

The nominal output power at the antenna connector for the 3-sector RFM is 60W
per branch (pipe)
The nominal output power at each branch (pipe) is the maximum cumulated sum
of output powers of all the carriers/TRXs within that branch
The output power per carrier of a radio branch decreases with the increasing number
of carriers in the radio branch
The output power of each carrier/TRX within the branch can be adjusted separately
The carriers can be split to multiple radio branches within one sector to increase
the output power and thus the BTS coverage

For internal use
Output power per carrier in case RFM is working in a dedicated mode
In case of concurrent mode the nominal output power at each branch (pipe) is
shared between carriers of different technologies
There is a fixed share of the nominal output power of each branch (pipe) between
technologies
Then, the output power dedicated to each technology is distributed among defined
carriers (GSM) or limited according to installed license (LTE)
Dedicated SW features need to be used to enable RFM sharing between different
technologies
RG10/RU20: RF sharing WCDMA GSM
RG25/RL20: RF sharing 2G LTE
Maximum output power per carrier is determined by supported in the feature RF
configurations
The target receiver sensitivity of Flexi Multiradio BTS is to be at least the same
as of the existing Flexi EDGE
Receive sensitivity to be the same
as with existing Flexi EDGE BTS

Flexi Power Rectifier (FPRA) (1/3)
Is a new type of MIBBU
Provides the 48VDC voltage from external AC or DC voltage (batteries)
Compatible with Flexi BTS 19 mechanics and 3HU high. Can be used in Flexi cabinet
installations and without a cabinet.
Brings some new possibilities for Flexi applications:
FPRA outside FCSA => more LTE space inside FCSA
FPRA inside FCOA => more space for Flexi modules inside the cabinet as no need for FCSA
Consists of:
mechanics mountable to a 19 frame
Power distribution unit with scalabe outputs for max. 2 BTSs and max. 3 battery strings
Control Unit (CU) for controlling the FPRA. Alarms generated by CU are normal EAC-alarms
and can be connected to ESMA via the standard EAC-interface or power alarm interface (FPA).
Max. three 2 kW rectifiers (i.e. max output 3 * 2 kW = 6 kW)
Operating temperature range -33 to +55C
Wide operating voltage range: from 85 to 310VAC
Optional separate batteries (no space for batteries inside the FPRA module)
IP55 compatible, suitable for use in an outdoor cabinet without FCSA module and for
outdoor use without a cabinet with the module front and rear covers installed
