2 General Information
2.1 Introduction

It involves sequence of tasks including software upgrade the factory default FSMF directly to SBTS
software and commissioning Single RAN base station (SBTS) with provided SCF file from planning team

General Definitions

SBTS Profile

An SBTS profile identifies a site hardware and cell configuration and must be selected during the
planning phase. The physical SBTS configuration (used hardware modules and cabling) must match with
the selected SBTS profile. The correct SBTS profile is selected by considering the current site needs (for
example number of RATs, number of RFMs) and future expansion plans

4 SBTS profiles are selected for Bharthi, ROB circle

LWG7_1
LWG40_2
LWG42_2
LWG42_3

These profiles with cabling details are explained in APPENDIX 5.1

SCF (site configuration file)

A file in the XML format, which contains site characteristics, for example site ID, IP addresses, and radio
network parameters related to each RAT.

2.2 Functional description

Single RAN network architecture

Nokia solution enables a fully flexible evolution to Single RAN. With re-farming, sharing,
modernization, and evolution, Single RAN enables operators to simplify their networks,
reduce costs, grow their business, and balance investments more efficiently.

Single RAN brings changes in the network, management, and operations structure. A
new BTS type, SBTS, is introduced with its three key functionalities: Common Transport,
Common Operability, and System Module sharing with shared RF fibers. SRAN BTS can
coexist in the same network with dedicated RAT BTSs.

In Single RAN all radio technologies are provided at the same BTS site more cost
efficiently than in previous solutions. Single RAN introduces Common OAM functionality
with one management system. All network elements related to the Single RAN site are
integrated into the same NetAct.

2.3 Benefits of SBTS

Single RAN roll-out practices bring operators the following benefits:

up to three radio technologies in one BTS at one site

one common site configuration for the SBTS site, instead of different RF sharing
configurations (less configurable parameters and reduced complexity)
one common transport and transport configuration for the SBTS site
one software packet for SBTS including needed software components for all included
technologies
one software download and activation process for SBTS, instead of separate RAT
specific software download processes with possible software compatibility issues

2.4 Pre-requisites

operating system.
Firefox, latest available 32 bit version, for both the Windows and Linux operating systems

2.4.5 Other Verification

Check the site router and transport network with IP planning (addresses, VLANs, routing, QoS) as
well as remote-end configuration for the new common transport

2.5 Schedule

As this process involve upgrading and commissioning of new FSMF so no need for outage
approval from operator before commencement of activity. But if any existing technology
(3G/2G) is migrating on SBTS then need to take outage approval for same

2.6 Back-ups

Current Snapshot of existing BTS (3G/2G), shifting to New SBTS

Current backup commissioning file(3G/2G), shifting to New SBTS

2.7 Performance Dump

a) Please take Pre-KPIs and Reports for last 5 days from the day you want to migrate existing
BTS to SBTS. So same can be used for pre-post comparison (Recommended in case Pilot)

b) Please get the Pre-drive test done for existing Technology before Migration so that same
can be checked for pre-post comparison

3 Steps for Commissioning New FSMF to SBTS

3.1 Back-Up

Please ensure that you have proper backup and soft wares as mentioned in prerequisite

3.2 Pre-Checks

Check for alarms with severity 2 & 3 (Major/Critical) on existing BTS, which is going to shift on new
FSMF (SBTS)

3.3 Conversion of Factory Default FSMF module to SBTS (SBTS16.2_1.0.1)

Add hardware and cable.

Add new hardware like FBBC cards etc. and do the cabling between a system module, RF
modules, and antennas as per SBTS profile. As each SBTS profile is different.
Note: If existing BTS (3G/2G) shifting on new SBTS, then do connect those RMs to FSMF now
Please check Appendix 5.1 for profiles details

Power On the FSMF

Connect to the BTS and perform authentication using BTS Site Manager
Authentication is enabled with the default username/password
(Nemuadmin / nemuuser)
Note: It is advised to have FDSW Site Manager installed in Laptop for SBTS SW upgradation
in new FSMF.
