Lucent UMTS Macrocell Compact

Product Overview
This data sheet provides a high level description of the key aspects of the Lucent UMTS Macrocell Compact. Amplifier Shelf Each Power Amplifier Module (PAM) provides up to 40Wpower output. Up to 6 PAMs per shelf can be supported, and the Node B hardware architecture allows two PAMs to be used in parallel to increase power output. Baseband Card Cage The UMTS baseband channel unit contains the radios and the channel elements and processes data and voice calls. Timing can be derived from an internal high accuracy oscillator or via an optional external GPS reference. The common assets used by all of the Lucent UMTS Node B products provide flexibility in configuration and allow a common spares pool. These assets include filters, amplifiers and digital circuit packs.

Lucents UMTS Node B product range is specifically designed to provide a range of flexible and high performance base station solutions with embedded cost optimizing features and high operational availability in a UMTS network. With focus on cost and size, the UMTS Macrocell Compact is the smallest member of the UMTS Macrocell family available supporting up to 3s2c and available in both outdoor and indoor configurations. The UMTS Macrocell Compact provides an ideal solution for initial deployments, and supports later growth as traffic levels increase. Its small size allows deployment in a wide range of locations. Future capacity enhancement plans mean that operators will be able to deploy this product to provide wide scale geographic coverage, confident that its capacity will grow as traffic levels increase. The architecture of the UMTS Node B Macrocell is common to all Lucent UMTS Node B products. It consists of three main components, (the Filter Module, Power Amplifier and the Baseband Card Cage.) the functions of which are as follows: Filter Module The filter module provides the interface between the amplifier and receiver, and the Tx/Rx antenna system. In addition to the duplexer functionality it also contains a low noise pre-amplifier, a two-way multicoupler and a power supply/alarm unit for the TTLNA support. The standard Lucent Filter Module supports both standalone and antenna sharing configurations.

Technical Performance
The UMTS Macrocell Compact supports configurations up to 3 sectors with 2 carriers per sector and an RF output of 20W at the antenna interface. Hardware support for second carrier, 40W configurations and Transit Diversity are available as options. UMTS Channel Unit (UCU) Cards: UCU cards are the baseband modules that provide the required capacity, in the different Node B types, for traffic and signalling. They are a pooled resource that can be allocated dynamically across the air interface. Adding UCU cards increases baseband capacity and the capacity per UCU is continually being enhanced by Lucent. UMTS Radio cards (MCR): With the Multi-Carrier Radio, growth to second carrier configurations for the Macrocell are supported. The 15MHz MCR is a single slot card and is common across the UMTS Node B portfolio. Versions to support 850MHz, 1900 MHz and 2100MHz are available, and dual-band configurations are supported. Support of Future Enhancements: The UMTS Node B portfolio has been designed for an IP-based future, and to scale in capacity as demand dictates and technology allows. Additional features such as RACH/FACH, HSDPA and the later introduction of E-DCH offer improvements and increases in baseband capacity for higher data rates.

Deployment and Connectivity


A major concern when rolling out UMTS networks is knowing that the network will be able to provide the required coverage and capacity. Lucents Node B products provide an in-built downlink-loading tool the Orthogonal Channel Noise Simulator (OCNS) - to ensure that the initial network design can be tested with realistic levels of load before high traffic levels are experienced. The complete installation and commissioning process is based on the concept of Plug and Play, i.e. once the system is installed and switched on, the system itself will run self test, determine its own configuration and make itself ready to integrate in the network. Under normal circumstances this requires no test equipment. The installation and commissioning effort on site is minimized to ensure a rapid cost-efficient deployment. Front access to the installed cabinet allows placement with its back or side directly against a wall and with low height and weight provides a solution for rooftop sites. Furthering its deployment flexibility, the design of the Compact permits external RF cables to be routed from either bottom or top of the cabinet, with power and other cabling routed through the bottom of the cabinet. OA&M: The Operations and Maintenance Centre (OMC), manages the Macrocell remotely. Connectivity is also included to allow a technician with a PC-based Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) to manage system parameters during installation and maintenance. OCELOT: Drawing upon Lucents extensive CDMA experience, Bell Labs developed a predictive optimization tool called OCELOT, which creates a model of a mobile network using input such as road maps, base-station locations and traffic information. The software can then analyze how each antenna should be pointed, tilted and powered to operate the network for optimal coverage and capacity. Unlike other optimization techniques, OCELOT can simultaneously optimize for multiple service types, virtually eliminating the need for lengthy drive tests. Net capacity improvements of up to 35% have been achieved in operational networks through the use of Ocelot optimization. Transmission Links: E1/T1 The URC cards each support up to eight links, including 100 Ohm T1, 75 Ohm unbalanced E1, or 120 Ohm balanced E1. IMA (Inverse Multiplexing over ATM) is supported providing a major increase in peak bandwidths. The system is hardware ready to provide redundancy and flexible loopback configurations. E3/T3 Support of E3/T3 is possible using an optional upgrade on the URC card. Each card will support 2 E3/T3 interfaces. STM1/OC3 Support of STM-1 is possible using an optional upgrade on the URC card. . Each card will support 1+1 STM-1 interfaces. Both electrical and optical terminations are supported. Ethernet Support of Ethernet backhaul (IP RAN) within the Macrocell is planned using a next generation URC card.
