Introduction

1 Introduction

This document describes how to use the Operation and Maintenance Terminal
(OMT). It also describes how to set the Installation Database (IDB) parameters
for the RBS 6000 series radio base stations.

For more information about how to use the OMT, for example, when to define
a parameter, why the parameter must be set, which values are valid, and the
consequences of not setting a parameter, refer to User's Manual for OMT,
Remote OMT, and Remote OMT over IP, 1/198 17-CXP 104 0015.

Note: Descriptions of the OMT parameters are also included in the OMT
program online help.

IDB parameters are loaded to the RBS in two ways:

• By connecting the OMT to the Digital Unit (DU) and installing the IDB

• By inserting a flash card with the new IDB into the DU

1.1 Work Process for Setting IDB Parameters


This section describes the work process for setting the IDB parameters.

Information about the procedures that must be performed, and in which order
they must be carried out, is given in the following diagrams.

The details of the procedures are described in the text sections in this
document, where the headings relate to the diagrams.

16 Defining Loss and Checking Total Gain


Value

This section describes how to define the loss of the RX feeders and check
that the total gain value is within limits.

16.1 Defining Loss


Note: To define loss for feeders with ATMA, see Section 16.2 on page 31.

To sustain uplink RX sensitivity and optimize the RF performance of the RBS, it


is essential to define the correct value for the loss parameter. That includes
losses from jumper cables, combiners, splitters and RF filters of an RX feeder
chain with attached TMA.

For a TMA configuration, this means that if the feeder loss value, measured
and calculated in document Testing Antenna System, 8/1532-LZA 701 0003,
differs from the default loss value, the loss parameter must be updated to the
feeder loss value. See test record from Testing Antenna System, 8/1532-LZA
701 0003.

For non-TMA configurations, the loss parameter is kept to the default value of 0
dB. The default value can be kept in this case, because the feeder loss is not
part of the total RX path loss in this type of configuration.

This is how to define loss:

1. Select Configuration > Define > Loss... to open the Define Loss window.

2. Select the relevant RX feeder, for example, FEED_TXA_RXA 0, and click


Run.

3. In the Define Loss window, enter the Total Feeder Attenuation from the
test record for Antenna System Tests and click OK.

4. Repeat steps 2 to 3 for each RX feeder.

5. Close the Define Loss window, when finished.

Defining Loss and Checking Total Gain Value

16.2 Defining Loss for Feeders with ATMA


For standard TMAs the TMA gain is specified in Define ALNA/TMA, but for
ATMA gain must be included in the feeder loss calculation instead.

This is how to define loss when ATMA is included:

1. Select Configuration > Define > Loss... to open the Define Loss window.

2. Select the relevant RX feeder, for example, FEED_TXA_RXA 0, and click


Run.

3. Calculate the total loss value using the following formula:

Total loss = Feeder loss1) (dB) 0 ATMA gain


The final value can be negative.

4. In the Define Loss window, enter the calculated total loss value and click
OK.

5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for each RX feeder including an ATMA.

6. Close the Define Loss window, when finished.


1)According to test record from document Testing Antenna System, 8/1532-LZA
701 0003.

16.3 Checking the Total Gain Value


The purpose of this check is to ensure that the total gain value is within system
performance limits.

1. Calculate the total gain value using the following formula:

Total gain = TMA gain or total feeder attenuation

2. Compare the calculated value to the maximum and minimum values in


Table 13.

Gain TOTmin ≤ total gain ≤ gain TOTmax

See Example 1.

Table 13 System Performance Limits


GSM System Gain TOT (dB)

The values in the table guarantee the specified sensitivity performance, and
that the GSM specification is met.

The following example illustrates what is stated above.

Prerequisites: GSM 1800/1900 RUG


TMA Gain = 12 dB
Total Feeder Attenuation = 4 dB
Total Gain = TMA Gain - Total Feeder Attenuation =
= 12 – 4 = 8 dB
Result: 7 ≤ 8 ≤ 12

Note: This function applies to RBSs with PDU 03 01.

By setting ECMs from Present to Not Present, the PDU recognizes which
ECMs are used.
• If the ECMs are used, they are present.

• If the ECMs are not used, they are not present.

If the ECMs not used are showed as Present, set the ECMs to Not Present. To
check the latest presence information of ECMs, see Section 5 on page 11.

21 Defining Delay

This section describes how to define ESB and RX and TX feeder delay.

The parameter specifies the RF signal delay in the feeder. If the total feeder
delay value, as measured and calculated in document Testing Antenna System,
8/1532-LZA 701 0003, differs from the default delay, the delay parameter must
be updated to the total feeder delay value. This value is between 0–10,000 ns.
See test record from document Testing Antenna System, 8/1532-LZA 701 0003.

The complete RX and TX path consists of all the jumpers and feeders between
the RBS and the antenna. Components of the complete feeder system are
site-specific, but can include:

• Jumper, external to the RBS cabinet

• Feeder

• TMA jumper, if used

• TMA

• Antenna jumper

These are illustrated in the figure below.

Defining TF Holdover Mode

21.1 Special Cases


There is a number of special cases in determining feeder delay for the complete
feeder system. These include the following:

• The length or velocity factor for a jumper or feeder is known, but not found
in the tables

• The length of feeders and jumpers is not known

Length or Velocity Factor Not in Tables

If the length or velocity factor for a jumper or feeder is known, but not found in
the tables, the following formula is used:

Delay [ns] = Length of cable [m] / (Velocity factor ×3×108)

Length of Feeders and Jumpers Not Known

If the length of the feeders and jumpers is not known, they must be measured
using the Distance To Fault (DTF) test described in document Testing Antenna
System, 8/1532-LZA 701 0003.

22 Defining TF Holdover Mode

This section provides instructions for setting the TF Holdover Mode, using

Parameter Valid Value Default Description
TF Holdover Intra -cell Intra-cell Enables the mode to be specified for an
Mode RBS configured as slave. The mode can
Inter-cell be intra-cell or inter-cell holdover mode.
For a slave RBS, the frame synchronization
received from the ESB serves as the
synchronization source. When the RBS loses
its synchronization source, it can rely on the
internal oscillator for a limited time period,
called holdover. The length of the holdover
time depends on the setting of the TF holdover
mode. When the holdover time expires,
the RBS is taken out of traffic. In intra-cell
holdover mode, the RBS is used together with
other RBSs to constitute one or more cells,
which requires that the RBSs are in frame
synchronization with each other. In inter-cell
holdover mode, the RBS is not realizing cells
together with other RBSs.

23 Defining GPS Parameters

This section describes how to define the Global Positioning System (GPS)
parameters.

Note: GPS is used as a general term for satellite-based time sources.


Therefore, GPS is used not only as a reference to Navstar GPS, but
also as a general synonym for Global Navigation Satellite System
(GNSS).

To be able to use the GPS as a synchronization source, the RBS must be


equipped with a GPS receiver.

A GPS receiver is used to achieve a synchronized radio network, and works as


a reference for RF frequency generation and GSM time-based counters.

The following instructions describe how to calculate the cable attenuation


between the Far End and the RBS. The cable attenuation determines whether
receiver sensitivity is to be set to short-haul or long-haul. Use of long-haul
requires that the equipment at the far end supports long-haul.

1. Calculate the cable attenuation between the Far End and the RBS
according to the following formula:

58 1/1543-LZA 701 6002 Uen PAC7 | 2016-02-03


Defining Transmission

Cable attenuation = cable length × cable attenuation per meter or foot.

If multidrop is used, calculate the attenuation of the entire RBS chain. This
is because Receiver Sensitivity A (C) is determined by the total attenuation
of the chain from port A (C) to Far End. Receiver Sensitivity B (D) is
determined by the total attenuation to the last RBS in the chain.

2. If the cable attenuation is less than 6 dB, set the receiver sensitivity to
short-haul.

If the cable attenuation is greater than 6 dB, set the receiver sensitivity
to long-haul.

3. Set unused ports to short-haul.

The following example illustrates what is stated above.

In this example, Far End and the RBS refer to


the figure above.
The cable length between the RBS and the Far End is 150 m.
The cable attenuation for the cable between the RBS
and the Far End is 0.03 dB/m

1. Calculate the cable attenuation between the Far End and


the RBS: 150 m × 0.03 dB/m = 4.5 dB
2. Set Receiver Sensitivity A for the RBS to Short-haul
3. Set Receiver Sensitivity B, C and D for the RBS
to Short-haul, which means not connected. not connected

29 Defining TNOM

This section describes how to define the Transport Network Operation


and Maintenance (TNOM) parameters, if supported by the network [Digital
Cross-Connect (DXX) support].

DXX support enables an O&M center to monitor the transmission performance


of an RBS. The following table describes the TNOM parameters that can be
defined.

Note: The time slot cannot be set to a time slot that is in use by the RBS.

Table 42 TNOM
Parameter Valid Values Default Values Description
TNOM Use • On Off Activates or deactivates DXX
support in an RBS.
• Off
TNOM Timeslot • E1: 1–31 E1: 31 Defines the 64 kbps time slot
on the E1/T1 link that is used
• T1: 1–24 T1: 24 for DXX support of the RBS. It
is only necessary to set this if
TNOM use is on.
If a time slot is already in use
for TNOM communication, it is
not possible to allocate it for
signalling or traffic.
TNOM Node ID 1–65534 1 Defines a unique identifier for
a node, such as an RBS in a
DXX network. It must only be
set if TNOM use is on and must
be equal to the value set in the
O&M center.

Defining VSWR Limits

1. Select Configuration > Define > TNOM... to open the Define TNOM
window.

2. Set TNOM Use to On.

3. In the TNOM Timeslot box, enter the value. Valid TNOM time slot values
are shown in the Table 42.

Note: A free time slot must be defined for the TNOM that is not used
by the RBS. It is not possible to define TNOM when the OMT is
connected.

4. In the TNOM Node ID box, enter the correct values. Valid TNOM Node ID
values are found in Table 42. Click OK when finished.

30 Defining VSWR Limits

This section describes how to define VSWR limits for configuring the
supervision of the antenna system.

Note: This function applies for RBSs with RUSs or RRUSs.

Prerequisites

Before defining the VSWR limits, check the following:

• The test results from the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) tests are available

• There are no faults in the antenna system. For information about how to
test the antenna system, see the document Testing Antenna System.

Note: If VSWR alarms are received and no faults are found in the antenna
system, the IDB must be updated with increased VSWR alarm
limits.

Defining Recommended VSWR Limits

Parameters for VSWR limits are set to adjust the detection of problems with the
antenna system for the specific site.

Note: Examples when limits must be defined for VSWR class 1 and 2 can be
short feeder, diplexer, and TMA use. Typically, in these cases, higher
VSWR limits are required.

Table 43 describes the parameters available for the VSWR limits that can be
defined.
