1. System Overview

ICS-W0837B is a digital repeater that provides optimized service with ICS (Interference
Cancellation System) to make the most efficient way to enhance WCDMA network.
ICS-W0837B consists of the same construction as normal RF repeater except DSP
(Digital Signal Processing) part and it can overcome oscillation problem caused by lack of
the isolation level between donor and coverage antennas.
ICS-W0837B can automatically compensate rapidly-changing input signals including echo
feedback signals caused by multi-path environment and it has various advantages for
operation and maintenance.
ICS-W0837B consists of ICM (Interference Cancellation Module) that cancels feedback
signals, RF signal amplifier, MCU (Main Control Unit), and modem (optional) to operate with
NMS(Network Management System).

Input level of ICS-W0837B is air interfaced with RF signal of WCDMA transferred from
Node-B and mobile through Donor and Service Antenna. The system consists of ICM that
cancels feedback signals, RF signal amplifier, monitoring and control processor, and
modem to operate with NMS (Optional).
The system has features that the Node-B RF signal through the donor antenna, ICM and
amplified by PAU of down link to pass the signals to service antenna. Also, it takes the
mobile input signal through service antenna, ICM and amplifier to pass the signals to donor
antenna. ICM consists of two parts, RF part and Digital part and ICM cancels feedback
signals for DL and UL. DL HPA consists of AMP block that amplifies RF signals and
Controller block that monitor and controls Amp block.

2.2. NMS Network


ICS-W0837B can be connected with WRCS which has been already operating.
The Connection of between WRCS and ICS-W0837B meets the standard of service
provider.

5. Main Module Configuration


5.1. ICM (Interference Cancellation Module)
ICM is located between Antenna connector and Dual HPA. It is designed to resolve the
problems caused by near-far among operators and LNA built-in to amplify a low noise and
make satisfied stop band rejection. It operates to transmit signals to Dual HPA and to
maintain signal regularly input to final amplifier after determining gain to need for system
after conversing signal processed from DSP to frequency. It is also operated the function of
Remote Control Unit through INTERFACE.

5.2. Filter
It is 10MHz Band Pass Filter and consists of Service and Donor. Service Duplexer has
40dB Coupler to monitor Output power and Donor Duplexer has 30dB Coupler to monitor
Input power. Hence it can enable to measure the signal level and to observe its
specification.

5.3. Dual HPA


Down link PAU receives the signal from ICM and amplifies it finally. This is designed to
keep up the stable output power of system in order to satisfy electrical specification of
system output power.
It is a Linear Amp with output power 8W in down link, 1W in up link (@WCDMA 2FA) and
executes Drive Amp feature simultaneously while Gain is 47dB in Down Link, 33dB in Up
Link.
Input Voltage is 27VDC and has alarm feature for over power, over temperature, and
VSWR. It has the same mount hole which can be applied for the same specification and
configuration according to output power amount (8W/1W) and HPA manufacturer.

6.1.1. Objective
To changed and updated features of system operation and monitoring program.

6.1.2. Procedure
CPU (in ICM) performs download remotely through TCP/IP function of modem installed in
a repeater.

6.2. ICS Gain Setup Feature


6.2.1. Objective
To keep up the fixed value of Gain desired by users for Down Link Path and Up Link Path

6.2.2. Procedure
1. Gain setup mode
1) User can set up Gain within a certain range.
Down Link : 70B ~ 100B
Up Link : 70dB ~ 100dB
2) Gain should be set up according to ICS repeater input condition.
(ex) When input is -40dBm, Gain can be over Max. 67 dB because ICS repeater
output cannot be over 37dBm)
3) When the Gain is less compared to Isolation, ICM set Attenuator. to optimized
value in order to protect the system, and CPU occurs alarm and displays
Isolation deficient
When Isolation is back to normal, Gain return to the previous set-up and
Isolation deficient alarm is removed
2. OFF Mode
1) This can be established at the initial set-up or special occasion. When OFF mode,
Attenuator is set up to Maximum in order to protect the system
3. Gain Balance Mode
1) Up Link Gain is set up automatically as low as Gain Balance set-up value
compared to Down Link current Gain

ICS Repeater ICS-W0837B User Manual

2) Gain Balance set-up range is 0 ~ 10dB and this mode can be set up at the Up
Link

6.2.3. Others
At the initial execution, if Gain set-up is not executed normally, it is notified to the user and
holds the default Attenuator value

6.3. Total Power Limit


6.3.1. Objective
To give out Total Power to be less than the output power value which user wants and to
operate output power limit feature when output power is more than max. Output power setup

6.3.2. Procedure
1. Total Power Limit does not have additional operation Mode and it works based on
max. output power value set up by user
1) Down Link Output Power set-up Range : ~ 38dBm/Total
2) Up Link Output Power set-up Range : ~ 28dBm/Total
2. Total Power Limit operating point: monitored value max. output power set-up value
3. Total Power Limit Attenuator operating: After Down Link Attenuator change, turn down
Attenuator. To be 1 dB less than max. output power set-up value
1) The changed Attenuator. value should be stored in the system
2) When the changed Attenuator. value is reset
RCU Reset
Change User Attenuator. Value before changed Attenuator. value restored
4. Total Power Limit Restoration Point: Down Link Attenuator restoration condition is to
restore by 1 dB Step from 3 dB less than max. output power set-up value
5. Total Power Limit Restoration Attenuator operation: restore Attenuator. up to the value
of max. output power set-up value: 2
6. Restore preferentially the changed Attenuator. value

7. Once Attenuator. is restored, this routine ends
.

6.4. Auto Recovery


6.4.1. Objective
To restore Dual HPA when the down link path of Dual HPA is shutdown (S/W based
Recovery feature).

6.4.2. Procedure
1. When Dual HPA is shutdown caused by over power until Down Link Path is in service
normally, CPU (in ICM) detects HPA shutdown and checks Down Link input level as
well as the gain right before the shutdown.
2. Dual HPA(in Down Link Path) Shutdown condition on Re-Check
1. When Down Link Input Level + Gain right before Shutdown System output
power + 1dBm
Over Power Alarm on
9 Recovery Condition
2. When Down Link Input Level + Gain right before Shutdown System output
power
Over Power Alarm off

6.5. Up Link Auto Shutdown Mode


6.5.1. Objective
To reduce unnecessary Up Link output power so that it minimizes influence to Base
Station

6.5.2. Procedure
1. It is operated by Auto Shutdown mode
2. If Down Link output power is OFF, then it turns off Up Link output power (except
turning off by user)
3. When Up Link output power is OFF, it executes Amp Off alarm and reports Reason
4. If Down Link output power is ON by Auto Recovery feature, then Up Link output
power is ON as well

6.6.1. Alarm Monitoring feature
1. Alarm occurs when alarm situation keeps on 10 sec continuously
2. Recovery is applied when alarm situation is not occurred for 10 sec continuously
3. Threshold Alarm : over and under each threshold is occurred and restored

6.6.2. LED Feature


1. POWER LED: Red LED is on when AC/DC Fail alarm occurred (Normal : Green)
2. DL ICM LED : Red LED is on when Down Link ICM alarm occurred (Normal : Green)
3. UL ICM LED : Green LED is on when Up Link ICM alarm occurred (Normal : Green)
