Radio channel management In GSM system, radio channel can be divided into logical channel and physical channel. $8001 provides mapping relationship between logical channel and physical channel. In addition, $8001 controls and manges these channels. The functions are detailed as follows: i. Channel processing function According to the channel configuration information sent by uBSC, $8001 performs the functions such as message coding and decoding, digital modulation (GMSK or 8PSK) and data demodulation balance, interleaving and deinterleav- ing, encryption and decryption. ji, Random access function $8001 provides random access testing of radio terminal users, and reports the test message to uBSC to request assignment command to complete a call. iii, Measurement function $8001 measures uplink radio links, sends the downlink ra~ dio link quality reported by radio’ terminal to uBSC, and pre-processes receipt. iv. Radio resource indication $8001 can report interference level, blockage condition to uBSC, Then, UBSC can judge and process the message so thatiit can assign channéls accordingly. In this way, channel utilization is improved v. Paging function According to the paging requirement, $8001 can send paging commands started by MSC through uBSC. 2. Um interface function. The details are as follows: i. Radio carrier modulation and transmission $8001 modulates the GMSK/8PSK-modulated baseband signals on the carrier frequencies to be sent and transmits them into air after power amplification. ii, Radio carrier reception and demodulation ‘Confidential and Proprietary Information of STE CORPORATION 5Training Course TIER $8001 demodulates the modulated carrier signal sent from radio terminal users and restores it to the baseband signal. ili, Power control $8001 adjusts the transmission power according to mea~ surement report and downlink power level reported by ra~ dio terminal users. This reduces the influence on radio channels of other users. ‘Support of various service and coding capacity $8001 supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE, FR, EFR, HR, and AMR. Con sidering working environment and perform ance/price ratio op- timization, 7 timeslots are supported for GSM/GPRS and 2 ~ 4 timeslots are supported for EDGE. In addition to the previous functions of a common BTS, $8001 provides the following special functions: Abis Over IP $8001 adopts Abis Over IP, On the downlink, it receives the control instruction from uBSC through network interface, and controls and manages all $8001 radio channels.

Paste the main feeder cable label 0.3 m away from the feeder cable end. Hoist feeder cable to the platform on the tower, and fix the feeder cable's upper end to appropriate position to avoid it falling down from the tower. Feeder cables should be arranged tidily without being crossed. Mark both ends of each feeder cable before performing feeder cable layout. Draw the actual cabling route before performing feeder cable layout to avoid feeder cable crossing. The minimum bending radius of feeder cable must be not less than 20 times that of the main feeder cable. For single bend, the minimum bend radius is 90 mm, while for multiple bends, the minimum bend radius is 200 mm The maximum distance between feeder cable clips (HANGER) is 1.65 m. It is advised to install one feeder cable clip every one meter. For feeder cable at the antenna, there should be a straight part of 30 cm to 40 cm to guarantee that the feeder cable connector does not bear any force, and certain feeder cable margin should be left for possible adjustment. If the pole on the building roofis single-polarized, itis advised to arrange the feeder cable margin at the corner of the horizontal cable rack on the lower pole Fix feeder cable with feeder cable clip if conditions permit. Do not use cable tie to bind feeder cables. 19.5.2Main Feeder Indoor Layout Principles The following lists principles for main feeder indoor layout: A 12-hole feeder cable hermetic window has four big holes. Each big hole contains three small holes, and each small hole has one feeder cable passing through. Feeder cables in the three small holes in one big hole are arranged sequentially according to engineering label ID, and are laid out either clockwise or anti-clockwise. a ‘Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATIONTIER Context Steps Chapter 19 Main Antenna Feeder System Installation = The feeder cable layoutin the hermetic window should be easily expanded. Capacity expansion should not change the original feeder cable layout, itis only allowed to add feeder cables in the hermetic window or change jumper connections in the cabinet. = The feeder cable layout in hermetic window should facilitate laying feeder cables on the cable rack and feeder connections with the cabinet. Feeder cables should be parallel and have no cross 19.5.3lnstalling Main Feeder Cable ‘The main feeder cable is connected with two jumpers: = The jumper connected with antenna = The jumper connected with cabinet The main feeder cable adopts the 7/8” foaming feeder cable, Usu- ally, the two connectors are bath female DIN connectors. ‘The following mechanical perform ance should be guaranteed when transporting and installing main feeder cables: 1.
