Flexi EDGE BTS / 26.04.2006/ DDi
Main Features for new GSM/EDGE BTS platform

1. Simple and cost-effective site build-outs
Expansion to high capacity within the same footprint
Reduced site costs: lower rents, new flexibility in site selection
Faster site commissioning: minimized number of BTS building blocks, easy

start-up configurations
Fewer sites: wide range of coverage features with maximized RF performance
2. Single platform for flexible multimode sites
Same modules for all site types
Common platform for GSM/EDGE/WCDMA/HSPA and other radio variants:

lower site operating costs

Flexi EDGE BTS 12.04.2006/ DDi
Nokia Flexi BTS platform:

novel approach for GSM/EDGE/WCDMA BTS sites
BTS configurations are built with weather-proof modules;
capacity is expanded by adding modules
Cost efficient (whole life cycle including product cost and
operational costs)
Example of 2+2+2TRX
configuration
UltraSite level performance and functionality

Backward compatibility (existing sites, Abis, BSC)
Support for EDGE evolution Nokia is first to adopt this novel

modular approach
Same modules used for all site types
Indoor and outdoor
H 538mm
D 422* 560mm
W 447mm
Micro- and macrocellular
Common Flexi platform brings the same modular principle and
design to GSM/EDGE and WCDMA/HSPA BTS sites
Small but efficient:
Modules can be installed in Flexi optional cabinets or other
1640 subscribers* served
19 racks if required
with a BTS that is just over 0.5 m high
* @15 mErl, 2% blocking
* (D) 422 mm for cabinet-installed modules

2005 Nokia
Modular Flexi BTS Platform

No cabinet is needed for modulebased BTS
Modules are in weather-proof casings
with IP55 protection, no BTS cabinet is
needed
The casings direct air-flows and allow
removal of the modules from the stack
Temperature tolerance:
-40C +50C; temporarily +55 C
Modules can be installed in cabinets

or 19 racks
Modules have no back and front
covers, or casings, when used in
cabinets

Flexi EDGE Dual TRX Module (EXxA)

Dual TRX Module (DTRX) is a two carrier TRX unit, used as:
a stand alone TRX module

or a Sector module with the Dual duplexer module (and optional wideband combiner)
or with RTC module
or in Coverage mode (as Double Power TRX (DPTRX) or for Intelligent Downlink Diversity)
It consists of:
Baseband part that is common to both TRXs
RF part (2 independent transmit (TX) chains and 4 receive (RX) chains, incl 2 for diversity)
1-2 optional Wideband combiner (WBC) sub-modules
RX diversity options of the DTRX are:

2-way diversity: 2 RX inputs/DTRX used when both TRXs are in same sector as DTRX unit
shares RX signals between TRXs. All 4 RX inputs/DTRX are used when TRXs are in different
sectors
4-way diversity: All 4 RX inputs/DTRX used, only with SRC or with DPTRX
All DTRX external communication is handled through single Gigabit Ethernet interface

Flexi EDGE Dual Duplexer Module (ERxA)

Dual duplexer (DDU) module together with Dual TRX create a Sector module
Min one DDU per sector is needed; it must be attached to DTRX module
The DDU provides duplex functionality to combine TX and RX signals in a common

antenna feeder
2 antenna connections (for 1 or 2 sectors) for by-pass and combined configurations
2 TX inputs and 4+4 RX outputs (4 RX from antenna 1 and 4 RX from antenna 2)
The DDU contains two duplex filters, two Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), two Bias-Ts with
VSWR measurement functionality and common TRX loop for TRXs in one sector
The TRX loop is controlled through the Sector module
All DTRXs in the sector have to request loop service from the Sector module
Loop can be performed from either TX to any of 8 RX outputs
Only one TX and one RX can be simultaneously connected (no looping with Diversity
Combining)
The LNAs have high and low gain states for supporting high gain MHAs

Flexi EDGE RTC Module (Cavity combiner)

(ECxA)
Optional RTC module for ETSI frequency bands supports max 6 TRX
One RTC per sector is needed; 2 RTCs can support up to 12 carriers/sector
RTC provides the duplex functionality to combine up to 6 TX signals in a common antenna feeder
RTC supports antenna sharing (co-siting) with another BTS
RTC module consists of : tunable cavity combiner, LNAs for RX signal and duplex filter and RX filter
for diversity signal, Bias-T, VSWR and MHA power feed
RTC provides the TRX loop; DTRXs request the loop service
4 HU RTC modules require cabinet installation
Functioning principle:
RTC receives the main RX signal through the duplex filter from ANT1 and diversity signal through RX filter
from ANT2
RX outputs are split into two groups: one group is used for main RX and the other for diversity RX
In 12 TRX sectors all 6 outputs come from one antenna: 1st RTC provides main RX outputs from its ANT1,
2nd RTC provides diverse RX outputs from its ANT1

Ethernet Architecture
All traffic between System Module and
TRX Module is handled over Gigabit
Ethernet.
This traffic contains:
Hopping BUS, former FBUS traffic
ABIS, former D1 BUS traffic
O&M, former D2 BUS traffic
Hopping BUS traffic flow is purely

between TRXs. The system module
provides only Ethernet switch for this
traffic, but does not otherwise see this
data.
ABIS traffic is transferred between ABIS
and TRXs. The Network Processor in
the System Module takes care of this
message transfer.
O&M data transfers go between BTS
O&M SW in the Network Processor and
the TRX O&M SW in the TRX.

Optional 24VDC/DC module
48V DC power distribution (PDU) is located in the System

Module and in the System Extension Module
The input for the System Module is nominal 48VDC with positive
earth
The System Module has 48V input with max 25 mm2 cables
(screw terminal)
PDU distributes DC power to other (max 8 mm2 cables)

DC input power feed (48V) for Flexi EDGE BTS BTS has
floating ground design
Nominal 48 V DC, input range is 40.5 57 V DC.
Supply type: Two wire
All functional blocks/submodules in the module of Flexi EDGE

BTS BTS are designed as floating 48 V DC input Voltage
Either positive or negative ground power feed for Flexi WCDMA
BTS can be used
All modules with DC input have input voltage reverse polarity
