3.1. OVERVIEW
The BTS 18000 is introduced:
• As a new product: a BTS 18000 site made of one to three BTS 18000 cabinets
(greenfield BTS 18000).
• For increasing existing capacity of S8000 indoor/outdoor CBCF or S12000
indoor/outdoor sites: BTS 18000 and S8000/12000 sites are co-localized and their
GSM_TIME are synchronized.
BTS 18000 BTS is a product with 18 TRX per cabinet. It supports up to 54 TRX max
per site.
The MCPA version can contain 27 TRX within one BTS cabinet with the adjunction of
an ancillary MCPA amplification cabinet refer to [R1].
The BTS 18000 design includes mechanical compatibility with Nortel Networks UMTS
BTS platform. It is therefore Nortel Networks solution for GSM/UMTS dual mode BTS
capability, with half of a cabinet used for the UMTS modules.
The dual mode capacity can accommodate 9 GSM TRX plus 6 UMTS carriers with 1
cabinet refer to [R2].

3.5.1 PRINCIPLE
The principle is to synchronize one or two BTS, called slave BTS, with the
synchronization signal received from a third BTS, called master BTS, instead of from
the Abis link.
The “synchronizing” or “master” BTS receives its synchronisation (SY) from the BSC
through Abis link and generates its own GSM time as a “normal” BTS does.
The “synchronized” or “slave” BTS get its synchronisation (SY) and GSM time from
external signal coming from the master BTS, through a new specific cable. This cable
has the same length constraint as the inter-cabinet cable, and the synchronized and
the synchronizing BTS must not be more than 10 meters apart. This is why they must
be installed closer. The received GSM time is re-generated and sent to the TRX with
zero delay so that the radio frames of the slave BTS are in phase with the radio
frames of the master BTS.
The new cable is a “Y” cable that diverts the signal sent by the main cabinet of the
master BTS to its two extension cabinets towards the two slave BTS. It is connected
to one IFM of the slave BTS18000 BTS.
The master and slave BTS are co-localized.
Up to two BTS 18000 slave site can be synchronized with a S8000/S12000 master
site. Each BTS 18000 slave site can have normal extension cabinets.
A S8000/S12000 site with CBCF can increase his capacity with BTS 18000 cabinet.
The BTS 18000 cabinet must be deployed close to the S8000/S12000 main cabinet. It
must then comply with same (or better) environmental, dependability, installation
requests.
The BTS 18000 cabinet can be synchronized with the S8000/S12000 main cabinet
CBCF using the existing connectivity.
This synchronization is provided through GPS connector to the BTS 18000 cabinet.
The ICM is able to detect the synchronization signal type (auto synchronization from
CBCF).
In V15.0.1 the BTS 18000 is always the slave cabinet.
So, it is recommended to lock the master and slave BTS at the same time and to
leave the slave locked as long as the master is not enable again.
If master and slave are not upgraded at the same time, the slave BTS will be out of
service twice: at the master reset and during its own downloading.
The CMCF phase 1 doesn’t support the synchronization.
A specific cable is needed between the master and slave BTS.
The master and slave BTS must be connected to the same BSC.
It is recommended to the operator to associate the master and slave BTS at
MMI thanks to the multi-site feature and to give significant name (from a
synchronization point of view) to the master and slave BTS (such as
city01_master01, city01_slave02 and city01_slave03).
It is recommended to install the master and slave BTS in that order:
1. switch off the slave BTS(s) and connect the external SY and GSM
time connectors
2. lock the TRX of the master BTS whose internal link is going to be
disconnected to permit the connection of the derivation “Y” cable. (*)
3. connect the “Y” cable on the master BTS
4. unlock the TRX of the master BTS that have been locked in step 2

POWER SUPPLY
The BTS 18000 indoor is proposed into two DC variants: -48V and +24V. Each variant
incorporate a single feed direct DC power option.
BTS 18000 combo UMTS/GSM is proposed only in -48V variant.
The nominal input voltage supply of the BTS 18000 cabinet is +24V DC (+27.0V
nominal) or –48V DC (-54.6V nominal) and is depend on DC pre-cabled cabinet
variant.
Nominal input voltage: +27Vdc
Normal input voltage range: +21Vdc to +31.5Vdc (32Vdc is suitable)
Abnormal input voltage range:
From 0V to 21V and from 31.5/32V to 60V, the modules converter does not
suffer any damage and is automatically restore to normal service when it
recovers from abnormal to normal input voltage.
Below 0V the cabinet beakers are forced to shutdown the DC distribution.
CABINET PROTECTION
The BTS 18000 distribution system is designed with four separate output connections.
Those connections are grouped on one breaker panels.
In addition to the main breaker, each group of modules within the BTS 18000 are
separately protected by an electrical safety cut-off device, which protects against over-
currents and also disconnects and isolates the connected load from the DC supply.
Each module is protected by a specific fuse and provides inrush current limitation.
Refer to table 4.3. These breakers are internal to the BTS 18000 Indoor and are
protected by an external main breaker refer to [A2] for more details.
The following tables give the typical and specified DC consumption of the BTS 18000
Indoor cabinet. The consumption is given according to the BTS TRX configuration. It
include also all the other electrical elements which consume DC power.

The “Typical” values are measured in lab and “Spec” values are worst case
guaranteed values. All these values are at 30W RM output power, with traffic on all the
radio TS in the given configuration.
POWER SUPPLY
The UCPS (Univity Compact Power System) use two different types of rectifier, one
1000Watt rectifier and one 1400Watt rectifier. The following tables give the quantity of
rectifier regarding the BTS 18000 Outdoor capacity in term of radio module. As the
consumption is different regarding the GSM frequency used several tables are made.
Note that the given consumption takes into account all the DC modules of the BTS
18000.
The “Typical” values are measured in lab and “Spec” values are worst case guaranted
values. All these values are at 30W RM output power, with traffic on all the radio TS in
the given configuration.
But to prevent any BTS interruption, the “Spec” values are taking into account for
rectifiers dimensioning and “Typical” values are taking into account for the battery
back up calculation.
Table 4.8 : BTS 18000 Outdoor rectifier dimensioning rules for RM in GSM 850/900
Table 4.9 : BTS 18000 Outdoor rectifier dimensioning rules for RM in GSM 1800/1900
Table 4.10 : BTS 18000 Outdoor rectifier dimensioning rules for HPRM in GSM 900
The table below gives in function of rectifier number and type, the nominal power
consumption (at 230Vac) and the maximum current consumption (within 208 to
240Vac). Note that the heater is in service, the batteries are in charge and the AC plug
is not taking into account.
NOTE : The rectifier maximum current consumption is defined when the rectifier bank
reaches saturation. This occurs when the batteries must be charged, whatever the radio
configuration is
INTERNAL BATTERIES
Like for S8000/S12000 outdoor cabinet, internal batteries can be hosted inside the
BTS18000 outdoor cabinet as an option. One string of four SBS15, SBS40 or SBS60
batteries can be used with various back up time. SBS15 string options is limited to
configurations below S333 (3 RM) or S222 (3 HPRM).
Internal batteries and external ones CANNOT be used simultaneously.
The Internal batteries are plugged on the 48V bus of the UCPS DDU. They are
protected by a dedicated alarmed breaker.
Battery charge is made under UCPS management at power up when rectifiers DC
output ramp up is performed.
If the AC source or rectifiers fail, the battery automatically are used.
Thermal measurement and compensation of the internal battery is managed by the
UCPS.
The backup times in Table here under are calculated values dedicated only to the
Hawker batteries. The values are for a backup of the BTS depending of the radio
configuration and therefore correspond to the first threshold. If the AC main fails, the
BTS is backed up until the battery voltage is below to 44Vdc. After this time, the DDU
cuts off the supply to the RM and the ICM/4U/ABM/ECU remains powered until the
battery voltage drops below 42 VDC.

5.1. OVERVIEW
View of block diagram for a BTS 18000 Indoor and Outdoor.
IFM
The IFM module is composed of a single board with connections on the Interface Back
Panel (IBP) and on the front panel.
The E1/T1 IFM is a passive board. Active parts are all located in ICM.
IFM provides ICM with several status signals (GPS antenna presence (in future),
redundancy status). It also provides ABM with a "presence detection" signal and for
Inventory.
Only one reference of IFM enables to fulfill the following configurations;
E1 or T1 twisted pair.
Single IFM connectivity to single ICM for Quad link capacity.
Dual IFM connectivity to single ICM for Octal link capacity.
Dual IFM connectivity to dual ICM for Octal link capacity with ICM
redundancy.
Cross connect links between remote ICMs (cross connect connector on front
panel) and local one (back panel). This link conveys detection, active/passive,
synchro and signaling link signals between both ICMs (similar to
S8000/S12000 inter CMCF links).
Note that IFM does not provide ICM with the type of link (E1/T1) detection.
This one is done by commissioning switches inside ICM.
Difference between IFM1 and IFM :
IFM board provides a level of secondary protection greater than or equal to
that provided by a CSU (NA only). Consequently, IFM is the appropriate board
to use if a CSU is not being used (WT) to provide protection. The name on
this board is IFM.
IFM1 board provides a lower level of secondary protection than that provided
by the IFM board. If a CSU (NA only) is being used to provide protection, then
the IFM1 board can be used instead of the IFM board. The name on this
board is IFM1. As the IFM1 have the same level of protection than the
S8000/S12000’s CPCMI, for EMEA IFM1 can be used instead of IFM.
Rule : The IFM1 is used with the CSU in NA, and in the region which wants the same
level of protection as CPCMI.
ICM
The Interface Control Module (ICM) is used in the BTS18000 main cabinet only: it is
not present in the extension cabinets. It is designed to manage the whole BTS18000
site in simplex configuration; nevertheless a redundant ICM option is provided.
The ICM module is composed of a single board with connections on the Interface
Back Panel (IBP) and on the front panel. Back panel access is hot pluggable: provide
inrush limiting functions and hot plug signals.
Like the CBCF in S8000/S12000, ICM in simplex mode covers all the functions related
to a complete site including:
Support of Drop and insert facilities
Reference clock for the air interface, synchronized on the Abis PCM
interface, a synchronizing CBCF or the GPS antenna (In future).
SPM
The Spare Module (SPM) is reserved for future use in the BTS18000 main cabinet
only: it is not present in the extension cabinets.
ABM
The Alarms Bridge module (ABM) is used in each BTS18000 digital rack: one or two
ABMs per main or extension cabinets depending on the requested configuration
The ABM module is composed of a single board with connections on the Digital Back
Panel (DBP) and on the front panel. Back panel access is hot pluggable and provide
inrush limiting functions and hot plug signals.
The ABM assures bridge functions with several interfaces.
On one side, it manages interface with ICM, one external front link or two in
case of ICM redundancy, in the case of redundant links it is swap
immediately from one ICM to the other in case of active/passive change.
On the other side, the bridge manages one internal link for ABM alarm
function and 3 internal links to RM modules. Each link includes traffic link
and various control signals (reset, Bay Id, status detection) that enable safe
operation sequence of RMs. Out of band control information enables ICM to
drive the RMs reset.
ALARM COLLECTOR
The ABM has the ability to detect several kinds of cabinet alarms under ICM control,
including :
Detection of up to 32 Boolean type cabinet alarms. Those signals are open/close loop
ones, but only 20 can be used as unprotected alarms and can be used only inside the
cabinet or outside the cabinet but only several meters far from the cabinet and never
outside the site. They are detected at any time by ABM and reported to ICM. Only the
even ABM is in charge of cabinet alarms collection. This position is indicated to ABM
by the Radio Interco board cabling. See “Cabinet alarm detection” here under.
• For the RF combiners, this feature does not provide the difference
between the combiner’s type (DDM, TXF). The inventory must be
done to get this information.
Inventory of the digital rack, combiner rack and other cabinet modules :
• Under the request of ICM, the ABM can report the result of the
inventory process.
o Other ones (indoor SICS and outdoor ECU, and other reserve
for future use). In the outdoor cabinet, the even ABM also
detects the UCPS presence. In the outdoor cabinet only,
ABM collects UCPS modules inventory through a dedicated
protocol on the UART link over RS422.
• For all those modules, this feature is only accessible through polling
on the various serial busses, and the EEPROM must be remotely
powered by ABM (except UCPS).
Cabinet alarm detection :
• The ABM has the ability to detect several kinds of cabinet alarms,
including:
o door status,
o outdoor cabinet 4U user rack and ADU.
o other spare…
• Those signals are open/close loop ones, the total number is 20. They
are detected at any time by ABM and reported to ICM. Only the even
ABM is in charge of cabinet alarms collection.
Alarm polling of the Radio coupling modules including:
• Each ABM has the ability to detect 8 external protected alarms, and
to drive 2 remote controls.
• Those signals are open/close loop ones. They may be detected or
driven at any time by ABM and reported to CBCF/ICM.
• This function on ABM provides isolation.
SW alarm detection:
• All digital modules and RM have the ability to generate internal and
SW alarms, and to report them to ICM via O&M messages. This
requires power, digital links and SW to be valid on the modules.
• This includes UCPS alarms (AC monitoring, DC monitoring, breakers
status, Battery status)

The HPRM uses two specific PA with increased output power. Due to the number of
PAs limitation, only TRX0 and TRX1 will be available on HPRM version. The HPRM is
able to operate on one sector basis (2 carriers per sector) “O2” mode as well as 2
sector basis (one carrier per sector) “S11” mode.
At product introduction the HPRM is proposed only in GSM900 frequency band. The
HPRM output power is 60W/45W (GMSK/8PSK) +/- 0.5 dB. Refer to the RF
characteristics table.
Two types of couplers exist one DDM type and one DDM H2, one and only one type
must be used at any time in one cabinet.
The BTS18000 uses, as a standard, DDM (Dual Diplexer Module), for TX and RX
coupling/filtering purpose. The diplexer allows to share on a same antenna TX and RX
signal. The aim of DDM is to provide TX filtering (out of band spurious and noise
suppression), RX filtering (out of band interferers and noise suppression), TX to RX
isolation, as well as front end low noise amplification for the receive chain.
The figure below shows the block diagram of standard DDM:

The DDM provides two separate RX paths with 4 outputs per chain. It also provides
two transmit inputs (two transmit carrier’s capacity). The DDM is used in a sector basis
with one diplexer for main receive path and the other one for diversity receive path.
In addition, in order to increase the transmit capacity of DDM, integrated 2 ways hybrid
combiners (H2 coupling) is proposed. These combiners can be bypassed. A front
panel switch, allows informing the system of the actual DDM H2 configurations (2
ways hybrid by-passed or not) The figure below shows DDM (H2) block diagram:

As an option, the DDM shall integrate a VSWR meter on both antenna accesses. This
VSWR meter provides three levels of alarms. The corresponding thresholds of alarms
are settable on site, through DDM front panel switches.
The DDM is also connected to ABM module and provides to it a presence detection
signal. It allows ABM to collect alarms, inventory information, and to read VSWR
thresholds settings.
The DDM with VSWR meter option shall provide the following alarms:
VSWR alarms level 1,2 and 3 (per 2 for each antenna port)
LNA high current consumption (per 2, for each LNA)
Refer to chapter “VSWR CONFIGURATION” for more details
Two types of couplers exist one TxF type and one TxF H2, one and only one type
must be used at any time in one cabinet.
The TX filter is used as complement of DDM. It is used each time extra transmit
capacity is needed without need of receive capacity. It aims to allow direct connection
from RM PA output to antenna.

Like DDM the TX filter accommodate the H2 coupling in order to increase the transmit
capacity. It have 2 TX input for one antenna port.
The same option as DDM module with VSWR meter is available.
The TXF provides a presence detection signal to ABM.
RICO
The Radio InterCO (RICO) provides on the front panel the electrical interfaces that
support DC power distribution and communication between all Radio Coupling
modules and ABM, it’s also provide the connection between ABM even, cooling
system and energy system, using front panel cables.
There is only one reference of RICO, compatible for indoor & outdoor cabinets.
The RICO spans across the entire rack .
The SICS (BTS18000 Indoor Cooling System) is considered as an integral part of the
indoor cabinet design. The system is installed at the bottom of the cabinet, and
accessed through an access lift off panel.
One SICS is provided by indoor cabinet. Its inventory and alarms are polled by the
even ABM (GSM) and by the cGPSAM (UMTS) refer to [R2] for more details.
The SICS provide a vertical upwards air flow that permits forced convection cooling of
the electronic equipment housed within the Indoor cabled cabinet.
The SICS control is sense the external ambient air temperature and automatically
select slow (S1), high (S2) blower speed or full (S3) blower speed. S3 provides
700m3/h air flow.
If the ambient external air temperature is below Ts2 and no fault condition is detected
by the SICS control, the blower speed selection will be (S1).
If the ambient external air temperature is above Ts2 and no fault condition is detected
by the SICS control, the blower speed selection will be (S2). Under this condition, the
SICS filter clog alarm will be inhibited.
If a blower fault condition is detected by the SICS control, the blower speed selection
will be (S3). Under this condition the SICS filter clog alarm will be inhibited. It will
automatically reset once the slow blower speed (S1) has been re-selected by the
control board.
The alarms generated by the SICS for the ABM are:
blowers,
blocked air inlet,
control board operation
The ECU (Environmental Control Unit) is considered as an integral part of the outdoor
cabinet design.
One ECU is provided by outdoor cabinet. Its inventory and alarms are polled by the
even ABM (GSM) or cGPSAM (UMTS) refer to [R2] for more details.
The ECU provide a controlled air flow that permits 1400m3/h forced convection
cooling of the electronic equipment housed within the Outdoor cabled cabinet.
A damper is used to control the internal air temperature of the BTS18000 outdoor
cabinet. When fully closed, the damper excludes outside air and air is circulated within
the cabinet. When the damper is fully open, there is no recirculation within the cabinet,
so, the ECU operates by drawing in ambient air that is then routed through the
electronic equipment installed in the cabinet and ejected via outlet ducts situated at
the sides of the ECU.

The power connector provides:
AC input power supply for the heaters (2800 W max).
48V DC floating supply (360W max include in the DC power consumption
tables).
The Univity Compact Power System (UCPS) is composed of four basic building block
components: Rectifiers, the CCU, the DDU, and the Shelf.
The Rectifier is the AC to DC power conversion component of the UCPS. Up
to five rectifiers receive AC power directly through the passive Shelf AC
distribution. It interfaces with the DDU for DC output and the CCU for control.
The CCU pools power system alarms between ABM and the UCPS external
components, the DDU and the rectifiers. The CCU HW and SW enable dual
control links in the combo version. Two version of CCU are existing, one for
GSM only and one for GSM/UMTS compatible with combo cabinet.
The DDU provides the DC distribution, over-current protection, and output
disconnects to enable BTS and cabinet temperature and voltage
management. The BTS18000 DDU is the same whatever the configurations
(full GSM, combo GSM/UMTS and MCPA versions).
The Shelf is a passive backplane shelf which provides the necessary
interconnect for the Rectifiers, the CCU and the DDU. The Shelf is a single
version, common UCPS component.
One UCPS is provided by outdoor cabinet. Its inventory and alarms are polled by the
even ABM (GSM) or cGPSAM (UMTS) refer to [R2] for more details.
The UCPS performs power system operation such as
rectifier management for current sharing and alarms,
DC output power supplies to the various loads (2 radio groups, digital boards,
ECU).
DC power connection to batteries
A system level circuit breaker for rectifiers power on/off and overload
protection.
A circuit breaker for ECU power on/off and overload protection
EMI filtering.
A connector for the ECU
A connector for the UCPS rectifiers
The ADU box implemented in the BTS18000 outdoor BTS includes AC input terminal
blocks for 3 different types of AC network distributing necessary power to the UCPS,
ECU heaters and to an optional User AC plug. In order to implement this function, a
single terminal block type is necessary.
The ADU performs AC protection and distribution to the outdoor cabinet:
To the ECU heaters (2800W)
CSU
ALPRO
PRIPRO
For the outdoor cabinet, primary protection can optionally be provided by a new
version of the PRIPRO module (PRIPRO 2) inside the outdoor cabinet cable cover.
One PRIPRO 2 module has several connection capacities, it can connect to :
4 PCM, 8 External alarm and 2 Remote control protections.
OR
8 PCM protection only.
OR
16 External alarm and 2 Remote control protections.
Up to 2 modules can be connected to the BTS 18000 Outdoor, and double the
capacity connection protection.
Rules :
For NA only, the PRIPRO 2 module is mandatory for PCM and external alarm
protection. The existing PRIPRO can be re-used in case of S8000/S12000
replacement.
For WT the PRIPRO 2 is optional for PCM protection but mandatory for
external alarm protection. So if customer intends to connect external alarms
PRIPRO 2 is mandatory. The existing PCM box and External Alarm
Connection box can be re-used in case of swap (TBC).
In case of BTS S8000/S12000 swap with BTS 18000, customer and/or
regional engineering team must check PCM and external alarm connection
presence and apply the rule according to the country.

5.4.2 RF COMBINERS
RF combiners deployment will vary following the RF configurations and the TX
coupling type. The choice of RF combiner’s type is mainly driven by the desired
antenna output power and number of antenna per sector.
The BTS 18000 indoor or outdoor is limited as follows for combiner space:
BTS 18000 combiner max. capacity: 18 slots
One DDM (even DDM H2) needs 3 slots and one TXF (even TXF H2) needs one slot.
The RF combiners general provisioning rules are as follow (for DDM and DDM H2) :
D H2 D H2 D H2

6.2. SYSTEM CAPACITY : TRX PER CELL AND TRX PER SITE
The V15.0.1 system supports:
On BSC2G:
16 TRX per cell
24 TRX per site
that induces the following BTS 18000 maximum capacity:
3S8-8-8 BTS 18000 greenfield
spare TRX are part of the BTS configuration. All radio and coupling modules
necessary for the spare TRX are installed and connected. Each spare TRX is
created at OMC-R and is dedicated to a given cell. The spare TRX are
available for TDMA defenses managed by BSC through the TDMA
reconfiguration function.
The TEI supported by the RMs are: (32,33,34), (35,36,37), (38,39,14), (15,16,17),
(62,63,64), …
For indoor BTS 18000: Shelves 1 and 2 are in the main cabinet (shelf 1 is upper and
shelf 2 is lower); shelves 3 and 4 are in the first extension (shelf 3 is upper and shelf 4
is lower); shelves 5 and 6 are in the second extension (shelf 5 is upper and shelf 6 is
lower).
For outdoor BTS 18000: Shelves 1 and 2 are in the main cabinet (shelf 1 is left and
shelf 2 is right); shelves 3 and 4 are in the first extension (shelf 3 is left and shelf 4 is
right); shelves 5 and 6 are in the second extension (shelf 5 is left and shelf 6 is right).
The BTS 18000 product requires either one or two LAPDs per cell ie. maximum 6
LAPDs per site.
A recommended rule for an easier upgrade way is to allocate 1 LAPD per cell even if
the number of TRX is lower to 9.
EX : 1S6-6-6 could have 3 LAPD instead of 2.
The SITE TEI value for a greenfield BTS 18000 BTS is 0 to 9. That range is different
from other BTS products. So a new control has to be done at OMC-R in order to verify
the SITE TEI.
6.4. EDGE
For greenfield BTS 18000, each TRX supports up to 10 DS0 (RM supports up to 10
DS0 per TRX; ICM supports up to 10 DS0 per TRX).
The EDGE capability is provided by the BTS. The BSC or OMC-R doesn’t have to
control it.
Third level is reported as a major fault and associated TRX are considered as
no more working; if possible, defenses are performed by the BSC.
The thresholds can be configured with a hardware switch that is in front side of the
DDM module. Default threshold values are configured at factory.
The configuration switch has three possible states. Each state corresponds to a 3
thresholds set. The thresholds values apply to the both VSWR embedded in the DDM.
The switch allow shifting the 3 thresholds of a same amount. Three shift values are
allowed: 0, 2 and 4dB and correspond to the following level for VSWR alarms:
3) Choose the RM mode in keeping in mind the upgrade path, in order to have
same DLU during the upgrade. This minimizes the on site manipulation and
intervention.

o EX : 2S3-9-12 = 1S3-6-6+1S0-3-6
TEI description :
o TEI separated by a comma "," means that are TEI of the same RM
and TEI separated by a dash "-" means that are from different RM
modules.
RULE 3 :
The unequilibrated mode configurations are not fixed. The ones describe in
the table are typical ones, and is here to give an idea and to indicate the
availability of the unequilibrated mode configuration.
The sectors can have different carrier quantities with the same DLU in keeping
similar configurations. EX: 369-936-693, etc…. That meant the higher sector
Nortel Networks confidential
can be the first, the second or the third one. Just refer to the “BTS 18000 TEI
and TRX mapping” table in chapter 6 and to the scheme corresponding to the
DLU at the end of this chapter, to choose the right TEI.
Example :
With the 1S6-12 unequilibrate mode configuration with the N/M01 DLU, we
have RM0 and RM3 TEI’s in sector one and RM1, 2 and RM4, 5 in sector 2.
But we can also have 1S12-6 with RM0, 1 and RM3, 4 in sector one and RM2
and RM5 in sector 2. Refer the scheme for the 1S6-6-6 N/M01 and group the
RM modules to build the 1S6-12 or 1S12-6.
RULE 4 :
N03 and M03 never use TxF H2, only DDM H2 are used. So be careful when
you have choice between N/M03 and other DLU. Using this DLU must be very
specific, because that the upgrade path is quickly blocked.
RULE 5 :
N33 and M33 never use TxF, only DDM are used. So be careful when you
have choice between N/M33 and other DLU. Using this DLU must be very
specific, because that the upgrade path is quickly blocked.
RULE 6 :
The maximum quantity of TRX for these configurations in mono cabinet is
1S5-5-5, in normal utility conditions with the possibility to have all options. If
maximum configuration in 1S6-6-6 is wanted, take care that only, and only
one ALPRO could be installed, due to the position of TxF addition. So only 8
externals alarms can be connected. The S6-6-6 configurations are only
available for the Outdoor cabinet

8.2. DEFINITIONS
8PSK 8 states Phase Shift Keying modulation. The modulation used for EDGE is a
8PSK with an additional constant shift of 3Π/8 at each symbol change.
Abis ETSI generic name of BSC-BTS interface.
The Abis covers both the physical interface (PCM) and the protocols.
Protocols are splitted in a TMG part and an O&M part, the former
being mostly compliant with GSM 08.58, the latter being NMC
proprietary.
Abis PCM 2.048 Mbit/s for E1 (or 1,544 Mbit/s for T1) physical link (HDB3 or
B8ZS) where the clock is synchronous with the radio transmission.
Cabinet/shelf/rack
In the document, the term cabinet point out the total enclosure of the
equipment, as well as the entire equipment
(enclosure+cabling+modules). Two versions of cabinet is described in
this version of document BTS18000 Indoor cabinet and BTS18000
Outdoor.
The term Rack is used to point out two physical sub-assembly:
• Combiner Rack: one stage of combiners equipments
• Digital rack: one stage of digital and radio modules.
The term Shelf is used to point out the association of these two racks.
Cavity An association of passive RF frequency selective filters to combine a
number of Transceivers onto one antenna. It includes a Diplexer unit.
dB decibel. Dimensionless, it expresses a ratio.
dBm decibel milliwatt. A logarithmic unit to express a power level, with reference
to 1 mW. In radio, this reference is taken on a 50 Ohm load, while in
telephony this is 600 Ohm.
Diplexer A frequency band selective circulator. Used, as any multiplexor, to minimise
the number of physical transmission lines. For radio, transmission line
are antenna system.
DLU A DLU contains all the hardware characteristics of the configuration of the
BTS. This parameters are downloaded to the BTS and are used at
initialisation stage.
Drop & Insert A technique allowing to daisy chain several components on a common
physical bus, each components ensuring data integrity and
positioning.
DRX Driver + Receiver + Frame Processor. A stand alone low RF level TRx ( No
PA) Note that “DRX” describes any generation of DRX, including e-
DRX
EFT “Ensemble de Fichiers Transferables”, french abbreviation for “set of
transferable files”. An EFT contains a list of software (and DLU) files
to download to a BTS and their associated catalogue file; this
catalogue file contains information about the software version and the
files to download, that are used by the BSC to manage the BTS
downloading.
Extension BTS18000
BTS18000 cabinet installed as “extension” cabinet synchronized with S8000
CBCF main cabinet (with CMCF_ph2) or with a S12000 main cabinet.
Granularity Module granularity is defined as its number of TRXs capacity in a
sector. Example: DRX has a granularity of 1, RM in O3 mode
configuration a granularity of 3. RM in S111 mode configuration a
granularity of 1.
Greenfield BTS site made of only BTS18000 cabinets
GMSK Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying. The modulation used in GSM system for air
interface (except for EDGE)
HYBRID (3 dB combiner). A passive two input ports device
INDOOR Equipment to be installed at locations that are protected from the local
weather influences. However some conditions may not be totally
excluded.
LNA Low noise amplifier. An RF amplifier used to enlarge very small useful
received signals with a minimum added noise.
OUTDOOR Equipment to be installed at locations that are totally open to local
weather influences.
Private PCM 2.048 Mbit/s physical link (V11) where the clock is synchronous with
the radio transmission.
TRX TRX acronyms is used to point out in the GSM system the logical equipment
in charge of transmission and reception. Physically, a RM module is
equivalent to three TRX.
