RAN3060: Flexi Multiradio BTS Antenna Rx RF-sniffing RAN3060: Flexi Multiradio BTS Antenna Rx RF-sniffing
1 RAN3060: Flexi Multiradio BTS Antenna Rx

RF-sniffing
Introduction to the feature
The RAN3060: Flexi Multiradio BTS Antenna Rx RF-sniffing feature supports the
monitoring, detection, and evaluation of radio frequency interference (RFI) and passive
inter-modulation (PIM) remotely by means of the BTS site manager (BTSSM).
1.1 RAN3060 Benefits

End-user benefits
This feature does not affect the end-user experience.
Operator benefits
This feature benefits the operator as follows:
• The feature introduces OPEX savings by eliminating the need of expensive and labor
extensive site portable PIM analyzer to detect degraded uplink performance caused
by poor site infrastructure or cabling.
• The feature provides the automatic detection and evaluation of RFI and PIM.
• The feature provides a faster and easier approach to monitor radio frequency
performance that can be used to optimize and alleviate disturbances.
1.2 RAN3060 Functional description

The RAN3060: Flexi Multiradio BTS Antenna Rx RF-sniffing feature supports the
monitoring, locating, and analyzing external disturbances such as RFI and PIM by
means of the BTS site manager (BTSSM). The RF-sniffing device is a built-in spectrum
analyzer inside the BTS, thus enables the capability to monitor the RF performance and
to detect RFI and PIM in an automated and non-intrusive manner.
Radio-frequency interference (RFI)
RFIs are external disturbances caused by adjacent sites, illegal emitter, harmonics, and
faulty equipment that are common problems for operators. These disturbances must be
detected and resolved as early as possible during the BTS installation or commissioning
phase. The continuous monitoring of RFI determines if the BTS is degraded or is
degrading slowly over a period of time.
Passive inter-modulation (PIM)
PIM occurs when two or more signals are present in a passive element such as coaxial
cable, connecting bolts, duplexer, and so on. PIM distortion indicates spurious signals
commonly occurs in the BTSs with multi-carrier configuration. Multi-carrier configuration
refers to BTSs with two or more signal carriers shared in a single antenna. These
spurious signals are inevitable in multi-carrier BTS. However, they are only hazardous to
the network when they appear in the receiver (Rx) frequency band that causes
interference with the radio reception.
6 Issue: 01

The introduction of this feature provides an automated tool set for RF-sniffing or
scanning and PIM test, which allow operators to retrieve RF performance data that can
identify the occurrence of RFI and PIM. The retrieved RF data can be visualized and
analyzed remotely by using BTSSM.
BTS test mode
• On-line tests refer to the retrieval of RF measurements that are executed
exclusively within the BTSSM.
• Off-line test refers to the retrieval of RF measurement that sets the BTS to test
dedicated mode.
On-line tests: RF-sniffing/scanning and PIM simulation mode
• RF-sniffing/scanning
RF-sniffing or scanning supports the measurements of RFI sources in the uplink (UL)
channel after the installation or commissioning of a new site to ensure that there is
no internal and external interference or to investigate if the UL performance is
degraded or degrading slowly over time. RF-sniffing/scanning has the following
options:
– Raw composite Rx
– Composite Rx
– Carrier Rx
g Note: Not all radio modules support Composite Rx and Carrier Rx.
• PIM simulation mode

The test involves the capturing of potential interference based on the BTS actual
configuration.
Off-line test: PIM channel desensitization

PIM channel desensitization
This test verifies if the cell configuration is causing uplink channel desensitization.
Desensitization happens when the receiver is unable to receive the desired signal
because the radio signal is too weak and is interrupted by the nearby interference.
The actRfiTesting and actPimTesting parameters must be set to true to enable
RF-sniffing/scanning and PIM channel desensitization test respectively. For more
information on activating the parameters, see Activation of RAN3060: Flexi Multiradio
BTS Antenna Rx RF-sniffing.
PIM and RF-sniffing/scanning visualization
The RF-sniffing/scanning and PIM data that are generated in the base transceiver station
(BTS) are automatically uploaded in the BTS Site Manager (BTSSM). In the BTSSM,
operators are allowed to view and monitor the RF performance and PIM simulation test.
The data can be exported in an external destination within the operator's network or it
can be stored locally on a removable storage unit, which is essential in RF performance
management.
g Note: The real-time visualization of the streaming data is not supported. Only the
visualization of the post-processed or captured data is provided.
Issue: 01 7

BTSSM supports the following reports:
• mean square spectrum
This is a two-dimensional plot that shows power density versus frequency. It
describes the power distribution of the intermediate frequency (IF) signal with respect
to the frequency
• spectrogram
This is a three-dimensional plot, which shows the distribution of the received power
over frequency, that is changing over time.
• max, min, average-power
This is a two-dimensional plot that is based on the spectrogram with the frequency
and power as the x and y axes, respectively. It shows the maximum, minimum, and
average power depending on the frequency.
RF-sniffing/scanning and PIM data file in HDF5 format

Filename for RF-sniffing/scanning and PIM tests follow this naming convention:
[bts_site_name]_[test_name]_[mmddyyhhmmss]_[file#].smdf
where:
test_name=scan_test for RF-sniffing/scanning or pim_desen for PIM channel
desensitization test
bts_site_name= wbtsName
mmddyyhhmmss= date and start time of the test
file#= uniquely identifies the file created within the same test
.smdf= special extension dedicated to the suite of tests
g Note: PIM simulation test does not require a file transfer and therefore, not defined in
the naming convention.
1.3 RAN3060 System impact

Interdependencies between features
This feature is related to LTE1434: Flexi Multiradio BTS antenna Rx RF-sniffing
Impact on interfaces
BTSSM - BTS
The BTSSM sends a new request message to the BTS for the on-line, off-line, and new
types of test report to be retrieved. The message contains the following information:
• cellIDList– list of cells associated with the antenna where the test is executed
• antennaNumber – antenna number within the cell
• txPwrList- desired Tx power per cell/carrier
• test model – method for downlink signal generation
• commissioned Rx frequencies
• commissioned Tx frequencies
