Lucent UMTS Microcell Type M

Product Overview
This data sheet provides a high level description of the key aspects of the Lucent UMTS Microcell Type M.

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 and a power supply/alarm unit for the TTLNA support. Amplifier The Microcell uses the same high performance power amplifier module as the Lucent UMTS Macrocell range. It supports a single sector with transmit power of up to 20W, and this power can be used for a single RF carrier, or can be shared across 2 or 3 carriers. Baseband Card Cage The UMTS baseband channel units contains the radios the channel elements and processes data and voice calls.

Lucent UMTS Microcell

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. The UMTS Microcell is designed to enable operators to maximize revenue by providing maximum coverage, and sufficient capacity to cover the increasing volumes of lucrative data traffic. It can be easily deployed to cover hotspots. A further reason to consider microcellular coverage is the increasing public concern about the unsightliness of large macrocellular installations. Microcellular installations can provide an economic way to deploy wide coverage and capacity in urban areas, while avoiding traditional macrocellular installations wherever possible. The UMTS Microcell comprises a complete single sector Node B implemented within a single compact weatherproof unit. The Microcell provides highly versatile deployment scenarios and can be either wall or pole mounted. AC and DC powered versions are available, and an external battery backup option can be charged by the AC version. The architecture of the Microcell Indoor 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:

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.

Technical Performance
The UMTS Microcell supports configurations up to 1 sector with 3 carriers per sector, the RF output of 20W being shared amongst the carriers. 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 Microcell are supported. The 15MHz MCR is a single slot card and is common across the UMTS Node B portfolio. For the Microcell 850MHz and 1900 MHz versions 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, BLAST/MIMO and Intelligent Antennas (IAs) 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. The Lucent UMTS Node B products provide an inbuilt 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. The Microcell provides highly versatile deployment scenarios and can be wall, pole or floor mounted. OA&M The Operations and Maintenance Centre (OMC), manages the Microcell 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 has 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 Multiple standards for backhaul transmission links are available: 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. 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 Microcell is planned using a next generation URC card.
