BPN2 Board Function: Internal use only▲

The BPN2 is a GSM/UMTS/LTE multi-mode baseband processing board. It integrates the

functions of the GSM single-mode baseband board, UMTS single-mode baseband, and LTE
single-mode baseband. It can operates in single-mode or multi-mode.

BPN2 Configuration parameters: Internal use only▲

There are 2 parameters related to configuration of BPN2 board : radioMode & functionMode
These parameters give the radio and function mode used for BPN2 bord.
For example the value of radioMode : (16) means that the Radio mode used is LTE single mode
and (2;16) the radio mode used is GSM & LTE Both .
For example the value of functionMode : (770) means that the BPN2 Board process 24 TRX
and 9 UMTS cells and (4872) process 12 TRX + 6UMTS Cells + 6FDL (LTE cells).
The below tables show the differents values of Radio mode & Function mode.

BPN2 Configuration Export: Internal use only▲

There are two type of export to get the informations of parameters radioMode &
functionMode and also the slot position of BPN2 baord optimization data export & Public
export.
Optimization Data Export NE Type:Multi-Mode Base Station/Template Type: Optimization /Data Type: sdr3

Below steps show how to export Optimization data:

In second export Public Data Export Result the radiomode and function mode parameters are
in slot column for example the below case:
The BPN2 is on slot 7 with radio mode 1;2 means (GSM;UMTS) and function mode is 770
means 24G + 9U . The separation between radio mode and function mode is by comma (,)

Laghouat Baseband Processing Board
Type N2 (BPN2) Radio & function mode
change for some Node B
Introduction: Internal use only▲

Audit was done in Laghouat wilaya in order to share the BPN2 board with UMTS technology
for board used only for single technology (LTE single technology or GSM single technology).
The changes will increases the capcity of ressources CE and decreases the utilisation of CE
ressources which leads to reduce the numbe of sites in framing report for CE recomendation.
To change the BPN2 configuration of node B should know some important informations
(Number of TRX in GSM part/ Number of 3G cells/Number of LTE cells) and also.
Need also to know the sites if contain UPBG / UPBG3 board for TRX processing.

CR ID 13926 was raised in order to change the configuration of BPN2 board for below node B
in Laghouat region.

Some Important notes: Internal use only▲

- Need to check alarms after BPN2 configuration change in all technology.

- The change of BPN2 configuration should be done by Public export template.
- BPN2 can’t process RSU connected FS0,need to change the 3G RSU connected FS5 ， or
FS5A if need BPN2 process 3G.
- To change RSU connected mode need intervention on site (Site Visit)
- It’s better to follow for the other OMMB steps by steps.

Conclusion

- The change of configuration of BPN2 (Share with UMTS technology ) give very good result
by increasing the CE capacity used in 3G side and reducing the high utilization of CE
resources which leads to reduce the number of additional board needed.
