Overview
2.1
Active Tx Gain Calibration

This function supports downlink active Tx gain calibration, i.e., the system calculates the
Tx baseband digital power and the Tx analog output power at the same. If the analog
power deviates from the digital power to a certain threshold, the system will adjust the
downlink Tx gain to keep the Tx analog power consistent with the Tx digital power. This
avoids not only damage to the amplifier due to over high power but also capacity
reduction due to over low power, ensuring accuracy of downlink output power of the
base station. It offers customers the following advanta ges:
2.2
Enhance the security and precision of the RF Tx power
Reduce the margin demand calculated for the maximum output power in net work
planning to obtain higher output power.
Received Power Scanner

This function is used to scan the signal power received by the antenna within the
receiver frequency bandwidth and judge whet her there is interfering signal on receiver
frequency bandwidth. When this function is enabled, antennas scan at the same time:
starting from initial frequency, calculate the power within the carrier bandwidth of center
Particular Radio Function Feature Description
frequencies at specific scanning stepped interval (1 MHz), calculate and report the list of
signal power within the scanned frequency band.
2.3
Electrical Tilt Antenna

This function is used to adjust the downtilt angle through remote or local control software.
It is achieved through changing the phase of multi-element antenna array and adjusting
field amplitudes of the vertical and horizontal vectors. The electrical tilt antenna control
unit is integrated into the Node B internal rack. The operat or can adjust and detect the
downtilt angle of an antenna through the RE T s oft ware in the remote O & M center. The
electrical tilt antenna is widely used in radio coverage system. Compared to the
traditional ant enna system, it has many ad vant ages.
2.4
Adjust the downtilt angle of the electrical tilt antenna without the need of switching
off the power. Detect the downtilt angle in real time.
High-precision tilt avoids frequency interference and Tx interference.
The operation can adjust the downtilt angle of the antenna remot ely.
Weather change, time and Node B location have no affect on the tilt operation of
the downtilt angle of the ant enna.
Multi-band Support
This function is used to help the operator to get base station of other frequency bands
besides UMTS 2100 basic frequency band.
Besides UMTS 2100, ZTM also supports UMTS850, UMTS900, UMTS AWS, UMTS1800,
and UMTS1900. In addition, it can support customized frequency bands to satisfy
customer requirements.
Node B supports other frequency band through replacing with the RF unit of the
corresponding frequency band.
2.5
Dynamic Power Track

This function is designed to enhance the power amplifier (PA ) efficiency under different
loads, so as to help operators reduce NodeB operation expenditure and impro ve their
product reliability.
Dynamic Power Tracking (D-P T) is a unique technology developed by ZTE to adjust the
bias voltage of the PA power supply. In combination with the advanced Doherty
technology, the D-PT can not only enable the PA efficiency to reach 40% when the
output power is the maximum, but also improve the PA efficiency under other different
2
loads, so as to reduce the power consumption of the overall system of the NodeB. The
solution perfectly satisfies operators demands for energy saving.
2.6
OCNS
The orthogonal channel noise simulator (OCNS ) can simulate many virtual users in the
downlink net work load test through the built-in OCNS function, enabling that the
operation can validate the RF performance and radio network performance without a lot
of terminals.
2.7
Smoothly Cell out off Serv ice

The feature supports reducing the power of Common Pilot Channel step by step before
closing the cell when whole or part of Node B is needed to be power off. Due to gradual
weak ness of the pilot signals, it can smoothly switch the UE to the cell of other Node B
or GSM network based on the hand-over strat egy, and the users that are attempt to
access the carrier are rejected. The cell will be closed after the power of CPICH is reach
the threshold value (-10dbm). In this way, it can avoid call drop caused by the sudden
disappearanc e of the cell, which influences user experience. The use of this function can
be set by OMC-B.
2.8
Node B Energy Sav ing Mode

The feature guarantees the battery backup of transmission and basic service, lower the
load of battery to prolong its recycling life whic h decreases the OPE X
2.9
VSW R Alarm Recovery

This function supports VSWR alarm auto-recovery. The system measures the value of
VSWR. If it exceeds default threshold (3.0) for consec utive 3 times, the system will
disable its power amplifier. If there is neither over -power alarm nor over-high
temperature alarm, the system will wait for 30 minute and automatically enable the
power amplifier. Then it will observe the value of VSWR again. If the value of VSWR is
smaller than pre-defined threshold, the VSWR alarm is automatically recovered.
2.10
Intra-sector RTWP Unbalanced Alarm

This function can be used to detect unbalanced values of RTWP received by two
antennas within the same sector and report a RTWP unbalanced alarm.
Each sector
has two antennas. The system can detect and measure the values of RTWP received by
the two antennas. Then the system calculates the difference between the two RTWP
values. If the absolute value of the difference is larger than pre-defined threshold, a
RTWP unbalanc ed alarm is reported.
Active Tx Gain Calibration
3.1
Objective Function
According to t he 3GPP TS 25.104 protocol, the maximum output power of the Node B
must be within the range of device rated output power provided by the manufacturer
2.0 dB normally. In an extreme situation, it must be within the range device rated output
power provided by the manufacturer 2.5 dB.
To enhance the security and precision of the RF Tx power, and to reduce the margin
demand calculated for the maximum output power in network planning for higher output
power, ZTE has developed active Tx gain calibration. Normally, the output power of the
Node B can be with the range of baseband digital output power 0.5 dB normally; in an
extreme situation, it can be within the range of baseband digital output power 1 dB.
3.2
Principles of Implementation
Active Tx gain calibration is achieved by automatic closed loop adjustment of Node B
downlink gain, including Tx baseband digital power and Tx analog output power
synchronic measurement, active gain adjustment, abnormal power alarm. For details,
see the following:
Tx baseband digital power measurement
It is achieved by the FPGA: multiplex the downlink signal sent by the baseband as I/Q
data of carriers by the FPGA in transceiver board; calculate the power values of carriers
in the FPGA, and get the average Digit al Tx Carrier Power (TCPWD) within a minute.
Tx analog output power measurement
Synthesize the signal from the pre-distortion feedback path of the transceiver board in
the ADC, then calculate the power of carriers in the FPGA, and get the average Analog
Tx CarrierP ower (TCPWA) within a minut e.
Active gain adjustment
Active gain adjustment controller compares the average Digital Tx Carrier Power
(TCPWD) to the average A nalog Tx CarrierPower (TCPWA). If the analog power
deviates from the digital power ( = TCPW D - TCPWA) more than 0.3 dB, adjust the
digital gain adjustment factor to gradually adjust the total gain of the Tx path (once every
one minute) in a manner that the analog Tx power is gradually close to the digital Tx
power and Node B output power offset is compensated. The minimum step for
4
adjustment is 0.1dB. When the analog power deviates from the digital power ( =
TCPWD - TCPWA) less than 0.3 dB, the adjustment is complete.
Abnormal Power alarm
When the accumulated difference between the baseband digital power and the analog
output power is greater than 6 dB (||>6dB), active gain adjustment stops and Node B
reports an abnormal power alarm.
When the Node B is running, the system will automatically start active Tx gain calibration
function to actively compensate the gain fluctuation that varies with the environment,
temperate change or component aging due to long-time. This ens ures the precision of
Node B downlink output power without any manual operations.
Received Power Scanner
4.1
According to OMCB setting information, the transceiver board sets receive r center
frequencies one by one and calculates the Received Total Wideband Power (RTWP)
within the carrier bandwidt h of center frequencies, also called Rec eived Signal Strength
Indicator (RSS I). Take the UMTS2100M band as an example. Configure a receiver
center frequency every 1 MHz bet ween 1920 MHz to 1980 MHz. Report t he measured
RTWP, and then scan the next center frequency and measure the RTWP. Finally, scan
and list the signal power received by the antenna wit h the uplink frequency band 1920
MHz 1980MHz, and judge whether there is interfering signal on rec eiver frequency
bandwidth. When this function is enabled, antennas scan at the same: starting from
initial frequency, scan the power of within the carrier bandwidth cent er frequencies at
specific scanning stepped interval (1 MHz ), calculate and report the RTWP.
4.2
Function Application
This function is originat ed manually: Start the received power scan order in the OMC -B
background. Then, the system prompts to interrupt current services and delete the cell.
After the scanning is complete, the frequency automatically res tores to the previous cell
frequency before scanning.

Electrical Tilt Antenna
5.1
Functions of Electrical Tilt Antenna

Electrical tilt antennas are generally classified into two types: fixed and adjustable.
Adjustable electrical tilt antennas are also classified into two types by adjustment mode:
local and remot e.
Remote electrical tilt antenna allows the system to adjust the downtilt angle in directional
pattern without powering off. Therefore, the ant enna can be detected and adjusted in
real time, regardless of weather, geographic environment, etc. Its stepping precision in
angle adjustment is high (0.1). Thus the remote electrical tilt antenna can be used to
adjust the network precisely, shorten the network construction period and reduce the
maintenance cost.
Electrical tilt antennas have the main functions:
5.2
Have standard AISG int erfaces
Realize automatic angle adjustment of local antennas
Cont rol automatic angle adjustment of remote ant ennas remotely
One RRU c an control a maximum of three electrical tilt antennas to c ontrol the
motor
Perform configuration and network management through LMT or OMC.
Constitution of Electrical Tilt Antenna System

Electrical tilt antenna system is generally composed of electrical tilt antenna, a control
motor, lightning protection board, AISG cable, and other an electrical adjustment control
parts. The electrical tilt antenna and main accessories (control motor, light ning
protection board, rout e transfer board, etc.) are generally installed on the out door iron
standing at the top of the t ower. They are mounted on a pole. Their external sealing and
waterproofing meas ures meet IP95 standard.
5.2.1
Control Motor
Generally, the control motor is also called Antenna Control Unit (ACU, a RFS control
motor) or Remot e Control Unit (RCU, a Kathrein motor).
As a part of the antenna downtilt angle remote control system, the control motor
supports precise adjustment of antenna downtilt angle at the bottom of the tower or
through the network management system, as shown in Figure 5-1.

AISG Interface
Antenna Interface Standards Group (A ISG) interface is a set of standard protocol
proposed by Antenna Interface Stand ard Association for remote control and monitoring
of antenna series products.
AISG has two protocol versions: ASIG1. 1 and ASIG2.0. ASIG2.0 is written into 3GPP
R7, i.e., Iuant interface (electrical tilt antenna and tower amplifier standard control
interface)
ZTE WCDMA devices support remot e electrical management of antennas from Andrew,
Kathrein, Argus, Powerwave, RFS, Mobi and Comba. These antennas have standard
AISG interfaces. ZTE WDCMA systems already supported ASIG1.1 in the V4.00.100 .

The RRU is usually installed outdoor. The following t akes ZTE RRU as an example to
describe application scenario and solution for single system electrical tilt antenna.
5.4.2.1
Local scenario scheme for RRU + Electrical Tilt Antenna

In this scenario, the RRU installation location is generally less than 10 meters away from
the electrical tilt ant enna. If the RRU and electrical tilt antenna are installed on the top of

The local computer realizes local communication and control through the LMT. The
OMC realizes remote control through the RNC and Node B.
Multi-band Support
6.1
Using module design, ZTE multiple frequency bands base stations solution can improve
multiplexing degree, shorten research and development cycle, reduce research and
development cost, and bring forth more benefit to our customers. Its principles of
implementation are described as follows:
1
14
The system architecture is designed based on the multi-band requirement, where

the RF module is replaced according to the corres ponding bands.
6.2
For different bands, the RF module is configured by changing Transceiver Unit,

DuplexerUnit, and PA Unit corresponding to these bands. These units are also
designed on the same plat form, in the same architecture on based the multi -band
requirement.
Based on the existing software platform, related software can realize base station
function at multiple frequency band by changing its frequency configuration.

VIII(900 MHz) are supported also. In addition, customized band shall be supported to
satisfy customer requirements.
Dynamic Power Tracking
7.1
Objective
PA efficiency generally means the PA efficiency when the output power is the m aximum.
In fact, the load of the NodeB changes largely with the time. During the busiest period in
the day, the PA output power approaches to the maximum, and then the PA efficiency
also approaches to the maximum. B ut late at night, the traffic is much lower, the service
load of the PA is lower accordingly, and then the PA efficiency is also lower. Therefore,
when the traffic is low, the PA wastes power energy due to low efficiency. Figure 7-1
shows the load variation of a WCDMA NodeB cell in an area in one day.

time(hour)
When the out put power is low, the reason why the power efficiency is low is that the
traditional DP D+Doherty PA fixes the power supply voltage, that is, to reach a high
output and a high linearity, the PA must use high power supply voltage. In this way, the
PA also uses high power supply voltage even when the out put power of the PA is low.
Therefore, the PA efficiency is low surely.
This traditional technology is unable to help operators reduce NodeB power
consumption in an all round way.
According to the emulation, compared to the fixed power supply voltage, adjusting the
bias volt age of PA power supply can enhanc e the PA efficiency when the output power
is at other levels besides at the maximum level.
7.2
Working Principle
Figure 14 shows the working principle of D-P T, a unique technology developed by ZTE.
This technology can adjust the bias voltage of the PA power supply. In combination with
the advanced Doherty technology, the D-P T can not only enable the PA efficiency to
reach 40% when the output power is the maximum, but also improve the PA efficiency
under other different loads, so as to reduce the power consumption of the overall system
of the NodeB. The solution perfectly satisfies operators demands for energy saving,
The D-P T working principle is as follows:
16
Get measurement result of the digital transmitting power every two microseconds.
Compare the current digital power with the previous digital power. If the current
digital power is greater than the previous digital power, improve the drain voltage to
the voltage of the power range grade according to the power range query table.
When the current digital power is less than the previous digit al power, count the
average digital power within one hour, and then reduc e the drain voltage t o the
voltage of the power range grade according to the power range query table.

Map the adjusted voltage to the state machine of the power module. The power
module then selects the output volt age based on the state machine.
After the voltage adjustment, the RF gain varies. The system performs automatically
large-step gain compensation according to the comparison between the digital
power and the analog output power. The system then makes fine tune on the
compens ation by using the Active Tx Gain Cailibration function.

D-P T Working Principle Diagram
As the digital power changes in the operation of the NodeB, the system runs
automatically the D-P T function, thus reducing the power consumption of the overall
system of the NodeB, without any additional operation at the background.
Orthogonal Channel Noise Simulator

Test
8.1
Function Objective
In the system performance test, due to the limit of terminal number and complexity of the
test environment, it is hard to construct a radio transmission environment with certain
interference level through a lot of terminals.
ZTE RA N devices support channels simulated by the OCNS function to use the
orthogonal channel codes. Each channel uses P N9 random codes that are not related
with each other. Each simulated channel has its own power, but the power ratio between
17
the channels is the same. Based on this principle, the OCNS can simulate t he PAR of
signal interference bet ween channel codes and signals in the actual environment. You
can simulate different downlink interference (load) level by setting the totol power of all
simulated channels, so as to evaluate the actual performance of t he system under
different downlink loads conveniently. ZTE RAN devices support the OCNS to simulate
R99 and HSDPA channels, and can enable the OCNS function for multiple cells
simultaneously.
According to t he 3GPP TS 25.141 protocol, the OCNS test supports six test modes (test
mode 1 - 6). Each test mode supports its own test items.
8.1.1
Test Mode 1
Test mode 1 has the following test items:
Occupied bandwidth
Spectrum emission mask
Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio
Spurious emissions
Transmit intermodulation
Base station maximum out put power

Pmax)
8.1.6
Test Mode 6
Test mode 6 has the following test item:
Relative CDE for base stations supporting HS -PDS CH transmission using 64QAM
modulation
8.2
Implementation Principle
1
Users can edit the OCNS loading script with the following parameter configurations:
Base Station IP
Local cell ID
Test mode: one of the six test modes
Modulation method: modulation method in test mode 5 or 6 (0-QPSK, 1-QAM, 264QAM)
Radio link power
Radio link channelized code
On a host that can be connected to the base station, use the OCNS test tools to run
the user-edit ed script to load the OCNS, and establish the code flow based on the
corresponding radio links generated and sent by the user script.

Smoothly Cell out off Service
9.1
Objective
When Node B is going to upgrade its SW/HW version or in other operation
&maintenance conditions that whole or part of Node B is needed to be power off, the cell
involved should be closed in advance.
The sudden disappearance of the cell without any helpful measurements, it will likely
result in call drop in the cell, which influences user experience and receiving user
complaints.
This function can realize the intelligently cell out off service, for example, when Node B
is gonging to upgrade its SW version, although there are lots of on -line user in the cell,
the users of this cell will not be impacted, this function can help smoothly switch the UE
to the cell of other Node B or GSM network bas ed on the hand-over strategy, by
reducing the power of Common Pilot Channel step by step before closing t he cell that
will be upgraded.
9.2
Working Principle
9.2.1
Process for enabling Smoothly Cell out off Service

The function of Smoot hly Cell out off Service is achieved by start-up, users handover,
and cell out. For details, see the following:
1
Start-up
Select View-> SDR Dynamic Data Management, Open the S DR Dy namic Data
Management, select the NE to be handled on the left topology tree, and select Local
Cell Object item on the center tree, click Query, all of the Local cell Objects will be
listed in the table of the right panel. Select the local cell objects that you want to handle
in this table, and click the button of Local Cell Smooth Block, then set the parameter of
Total Attenuation Time(s) in the popup dialog.
After setting the parameter, click OK button, it will send a function enabling message to
the corresponding process of OAM.
In default, this function is closed.
2
users handover
After OAM receives the function enabling message, it will forward the message include
the two parameters to RCS (Radio control subsystem, with responsibility for Iub
signaling process and transmit) Main Cont rol Proc ess.
20
After receipt of the function enabling message, RCS Main Control Process
obtains the involved cell numbers from the database and broadcasts the
massage to these cells.
ii
After RCS Cell Process receives the function enabling message with the two
parameters, sets the CPICH power attenuation timer based on the attenuation
interval time parameter, When the timing length is due, then constructs the cell
broadcast message with the CP ICH power which be reduced from original
value bas ed on the attenuation step parameter.
iii
RNC knows that the pilot signal is gradually weakened via UE measurement,
and then it will switch the UE to the cell of other Node B or GSM net work based
on the hand-over strategy.
iv
After the function enabling message is send, if RCS Main Control Process
receives the cell set up or cell reconfiguration requirement message, it will
refuse the requirement and returns a cell set up or reconfiguration failed
message to the RNC, the users that are attempt to access the carrier a re
rejected, except that the function disabling message is send.
cell out
With gradual weakness of the pilot signal, the cell broadcast will be stopped, it means
that the cell will be closed after the power of CP ICH is reach the threshold value (10dbm).
9.2.2
Process for disabling Smoothly Cell out off Service

If maintenance personnel wants to stop the function to keep the cell normally running
when the function is in the enable status, it can end the process of cell out via OMC-B
setting.
For details, see the following:
Select View-> SDR Dynamic Data Management, Open the SDR Dynamic Data
Management, select the NE to be handled on the left topology tree, and select
Local Cell Object item on the center t ree, click Query, all of the Local cell
Objects will be listed in the t able of the right panel. Select the local c ell objects that
you want to handle in this table, and click the button of Local Cell Smooth unblock,
then set the parameter of Total Recovery Time(s) in the popup dialog.
After click OK button, it will send a function disabling message to the corresponding
process of OAM.
1
After OAM receives the function disabling message, it will forward the message to
RCS Main Control Process
21
After receipt of the function disabling message, RCS Main Cont rol Process obtains
the involved cell numbers from the database and broadcasts the massage to these
cells.
After RCS Cell Process receives the function disabling message, kills the CPICH
power attenuation timer, then constructs the cell broadcast message with the
original CP ICH power.

Node B Energy Saving Mode
10.1
Objective
The power devic e will switch to battery automatically in case of mains power breakdown,
Node B Energy Saving Mode can help prolong battery serving time. The f unction can
shut down some carriers or all carriers intelligently to maintain the operation of
transmission equipment and basic service as long as possible, so the basic service gets
better guaranteed, and lower the requirement of battery capacity.
10.2
Working Principle
The function is achieved by function open, triggered by alarm, and recovery. For details,
see the following:
1
Function open
In the OMC-B Configuration Management interface, you can configure the parameter
Enable open accumulator-saving mode or not, open the mode.
In default, this function is closed.
2
triggered by alarm
When mains power breakdown, the main power down alarm is reported by Node B, at
the same time the power device will switch to battery automatically
After OAM receives the alarm message, if the function is opened, it begins the timers
based on the set parameters,
1)When the first timing length is due, it will shut down other cells smoothly until there is
only one in each sector, as described in chapter 9,we have consider this actions
affection to existing user, they will hand over to the reserved cells smoothly.
2) When the second timing length is due, all cells will be shut down, then the
BP(baseband processing) boards and SE(site alarm extension ) board in the BP slot,
PAs in RSUs or RRUs will be shut down, FS(fabric switch board)will be shut down at
22
last. The other boards in BBU and transceiver in RS Us/RRUs are reserved, so BB U can
remain the connections with RSUs/RRUs and RNC.
3
Recovery
When the main power down alarm is recovered, it will power on these boards and PAs
that had been shut down and recover all these cells that had been blocked.
11
VSWR Alarm Recovery
11.1
Implementation principle
Assumed that P f orward stands for detected forward power, P backward stands for detected
backward power. The VSWR is calculated according to the following formula,
Pf orward -Pbackward = 20log10((VSWR+1)/( VSWR-1))
When the measured value of VSWR is larger than default threshold (3.0) for consecutive
3 times, an over-VSWR alarm is reported. Then the system will disable its power
amplifier. Half hour later, the system will enable the power amplifer again to measure the
value of VSWR. If the value of VSWR is smaller than pre-defined threshold, the VSWR
alarm is automatically recovered. Otherwise, the power amplifier is disabled, and so on.
11.2
Application
This function is initiated by the system. It doesnt need manual intervention.
12
Intra-sector RTWP Unbalanced Alarm
12.1
Implementation Principle
A local cell is set up under a RRU or RS U. First, obtain the values of average analog
power received by two ant ennas, denoted in RTWPm and RTWPd. Then calculate the
absolute value of t he differenc e bet ween the t wo average analog power values for every
15 minute., i.e. abs(RTWPm RTWPd). After that, check whether the abs olute value is
greater or equal to alarm thres hold. If yes, a RTWP unbalanced alarm is reported. If the
absolute value is smaller than alarm rec overy threshold, a RTWP alarm -recovery
message is report ed. If the absolute value falls in the range o f alarm thres hold and alarm
recovery threshold, alarm status will be kept unchanged.
In general, the alarm thres hold and alarm rec overy threshold are the same,
default. The threshold must fall in the range of [1,14]dB.
10dB in
23
This alarm function is an option in some scenarios, so it has a switch. The alarm switch
is off in default. If there is a need to report this alarm, the switch is on. Application
It is used to detect whet her an antenna is faulty.
