BTS Power Management Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview

2 Overview

BTS Power Management supports hierarchical power-off and voltage abnormal protection. The
BTS Power Management feature enhances power management and self-protection of the BTS,
thus improving the reliability of the system and prolonging the lifespan of products and the
serving time of the system. With this feature, the BTS stability is improved, thus improving the
Quality of Service (QoS). In addition, the O&M cost for the BTS is cut, thus indirectly increasing
the revenue of operators.

BTS Power Management Feature Parameter Description 3 Technical Description

3 Technical Description

The BTS hierarchical power-off function takes effect when there is no mains supply available.
This function aims at reducing the power consumption of the BTS equipment and thus extends
the discharge time of the battery. In addition, the BTS hierarchical power-off function can also
prevent over-discharging of the battery.
The BTS hierarchical power-off function also takes effect when the working environment in the
BTS cabinet is severe, for example, when the temperature inside the BTS cabinet exceeds the
predefined thresholds or when the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) far exceeds the limits.
In such cases, the system automatically shuts down the Power Amplifiers (PAs) for some TRXs
to reduce the heat consumption.

BTS Power Management Feature Parameter Description 3 Technical Description

3.1 Hierarchical Power-off

When there is no mains supply available, the BTS hierarchical power-off function is performed
to reduce the power consumption and extend the discharge time of the battery. In this case, the
system automatically blocks all TRXs, except the BCCH TRX. This is called a soft shutdown.
When the capacity of the battery drops to the preset value, the system automatically shuts down
all the TRXs to prevent over-discharging of the battery. This is called a hard shutdown. Whether
to use automatic power-off is configurable. The hierarchical power-off function especially suits
the cascaded BTSs. When the mains power of the upper-level BTS is disconnected and the mains
power of the lower-level BTS is normal, this function can be used to prolong the working time
of the transmission module of the upper-level BTS to reduce the impact on the lower-level BTS.

3.2 Voltage Abnormal Protection

When the working environment is severe or the temperature regulation unit does not work
properly, the TMU shuts down the PAs for some TRXs to reduce the heat consumption if the
temperature inside the cabinet exceeds the predefined thresholds. This prevents any negative
impact on the system. If the TRX is faulty or the VSWR far exceeds the limits, the TRX is made
out-of-service and is shut down. The PA for the TRX is also shut down. This is to minimize the
possibility of total damage. Whether to use this function and the related parameters to be used
for this function are configurable. In this manner, the flexibility of the system is improved.

BTS Power Management Feature Parameter Description 4 Engineering Guidelines

4 Engineering Guidelines

4.1 Support of Hierarchical Power-off

The SET BTSAPMUBP command is executed on the LMT to enable the hierarchical power-
off function. Note that the CFGFLAG parameter must be set to YES(YES) to enable the
configuration of other parameters. The HPVFLAG parameter is set to YES(YES), which
indicates that the hierarchical power-off function is enabled. The LSDV parameter is set to
440, which is the threshold of the battery capacity. When the battery capacity drops to a value
smaller than 440, a hard shutdown is performed. Note that the LSDV parameter is set to 475
when the PTYPE parameter is set to SC48200(SC48200), and that the LSDV parameter is
always set to 4294967295 (equals to the hexadecimal number FFFFFFFF) and cannot be
modified when the PTYPE parameter is set to EPS4815(EPS4815). One is advised to set the
LSDV parameter to 440 when the PTYPE parameter is set to values other than SC48200
(SC48200) and EPS4815(EPS4815).The LSDF parameter is set to ENABLE(ENABLE),
which indicates that the hard shutdown function is validated.

4.2 Support of Voltage Abnormal Protection

The SET BTSAPMUBP command is executed on the LMT to enable the voltage abnormal
protection function. Note that the CFGFLAG parameter must be set to YES(YES) to enable the
configuration of other parameters. The HIGHTEMPLOADPWROFF parameter is set to YES
(YES), which indicates that the PA for the TRX will be shut down when the temperature rises
to a high value. The ENDHEATTEMP parameter is set to 52, which indicates that the PA for
the TRX is shut down only when the temperature inside the cabinet reaches 52°C. The PA is
automatically shut down when the VSWR far exceeds the limits or the TRX is faulty. Therefore,
the PA shutdown function does not need to be configured for these two cases.
