BTSplus
There are two BTSE families in the Siemens BSS. The BTS one family including
BS60, BS61, BS22, BS21, BS20 and BS11 and the BTS plus family including the eMicroBTS and the picoBTS and all BTSE gathered under the name BTSplus BTSE.
This Chapter is dealing with all BTSplus BTSE.
The BTSplus products are:
BS240/BS240II/BS241/BS241II with max. 24 TRX in 3 (carrier) racks,
BS40/BS40II/BS41/BS41II as an "all-in-one" base station with max 4 TRX in a
single rack and

BS240XL/BS240XLII providing 24 TRX in 2 (carrier) racks only.
For the BTSplus BTSE dual band operation in the GSM900 and GSM1800/GSM1900
frequency bands is possible.
Filter and duplex combiners offer high output power and a minimized number of
antennas, respectively. A TMA (tower mounted amplifier) for highest receiver
sensitivity is available.
All BTSplus base stations offer GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) and are
prepared for EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution).

The BTSEplus differs in the Rack configuration possibilities and the Configuration
variants. But for all BTSEplus Racks the same modules are used (exceptions are
described in the part referring to the special BTSE type).
The BS24x / 4x serves both GSM900 and its variants (GSM1800 / GSM1900).
Moreover, the BS24x is the basis from which the Enhanced-MicroBTS and the
picoBTS are derived (BTSplus family).
The categories for the main BTSplus components are
core boards (COBA/COSA),
carrier-oriented boards called carrier units (CU) and
combining equipment (DUAMCO, FICOM, and DIAMCO).
Up to 8 PCM lines can be connected to the two core boards. The BTSE itself is
scalable: Up to two (one) extension racks carrying radio equipment may be
connected to a BS24x (BS240XL) base rack.
The main communication between the modules runs via a bi-directional serial link
between the carrier units and the core boards (CC-Link). The serial link is also used
for base band frequency hopping. All non-CU boards (e.g. DUAMCO) report their
alarms to COBA via the CAN bus. Alarms of the CU boards are transmitted via CCLink.

2.1
Core base / Core satellite
The main functions of Core Base COBA and Core Satellite COSA are:
local control of entire BTSE
generation of system clock
providing max 8 Abis interfaces to BSC and other BTSE
up to 4 of them can be between BTSE and BSC, increasing the Abis capacity
from existing 4Mbit/s to 8Mbit/s ( release BR7.0 feature)

routing Abis data to max 24 CU
providing T-interface to LMT
handling and processing of O&M messages
COBA stores the BTSE SW on Flash-EPROM, supervises the SW download and

terminates all internal system alarms. Beside the O&M functions (LPDLM) the COBA
handles the signaling messages between BSC (Abis) and CU (LPDLR). COBA can
be expanded with the core satellite COSA board.
COBA supports max 2 PCM30/PCM24 interfaces and 8 CU. COSA is required for
expanding the BTSplus capacity with an additional 6 Abis and 16 CU.
The ability to connect the BTSE to BSC with up to 4 PCMB lines improves the traffic
capability on Abis interface which is absolutely needed due to introduction of EDGE
and higher data rate coding schemes for GPRS in release BR7.0.
The cabling between Abis OVPT and CU and the core unit is done via the backplane.
For core redundancy, the COBA and its satellite are duplicated. In this case one of
the board pairs (COBA+COSA) is active, working as the master. The other pair has
inactive/(cold) standby status. COBA controls the switchover between active and
inactive boards.
Central boards can be hot-plugged; i.e. there is no need to switch off power first.
Note: COBA can only be removed after COSA has been removed first (mechanical
provision).
COSA provides
6 PCM30/24 interfaces for Abis,
16 CU interfaces,
Cross-connect functionality.
COSA is controlled from the COBA via the satellite interface.

The key element of the PCM30/24 interface is the FALC (Framing and Line Interface
Component). The FALC performs
analogue receive and transmit circuitry,
data and clock recovery,
frame alignment/synthesis,

line supervision.
Other essential components are SELIC (Serial Link Interface Controller) and BISON
(Bit-Switch for Optimized Network Architecture, between SELIC and FALC).
Between port pairs (0 and 1, 2 and 3 etc.) relays short-circuit the ports of the same
pair in case of failure.

Carrier Unit CU
The carrier unit CU contains all analog and digital signal processing units (including a
RF power stage) to provide a single GSM / EDGE carrier (with 8 time slots). The
carrier unit interfaces to the combining equipment (via semi-rigid cabling) and to the
core modules (via CC-Link).

The carrier unit is composed of the following units:

Power Amplifier and Transceiver Unit PATRX provides the main analogue
functions of the CU. In uplink direction two (diversity) pre-amplified and filtered RF
signals are received from the antenna combining equipment. These signals are
converted to IF and channel filtered. The IF signals are then transmitted to SIPRO,
where they are sampled and digitally converted to base band.
In downlink direction the GMSK modulated signal is received from the SIPRO, I/Q
modulated and converted. The resulting RF-signal is then power amplified and
transmitted to the antenna combining equipment.
PATRX supports synthesizer frequency hopping.
The power control loop implements 6 static power steps (each 2 dB, BSC database)
and additional 15 dynamic power levels (each 2 dB).
Power Supply Unit PSU is the DC/DC converter for the CU. The PSU generates the
voltages +26/28V, +6V (only GSM1800/GSM1900), +12V, +5.3V and -5.3V for the
analogue circuitry and +3.35V for the digital circuitry from a -48V primary input
voltage.
The SIPRO performs
digital to analogue conversion (and back)
(local) clock supply
Signal processing in uplink and downlink

(encoding, ciphering, interleaving, burst formation)
Control of RF on PATRX
Base band and synthesizer hopping
Radio link and channel control
O&M functions (incl. CC-Link handling)

EDGE carrier unit
Both the BTSone and the BTSplus family support GPRS (General Packet Radio
Service) since release BR5.5. For the Base Transceiver Stations, no hardware
upgrade is required, i.e. GPRS can be introduced simply by a software download
(new PPCU/PPXX modules are required for BSC, however).
For the new GSM phase 2+ feature EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM
Evolution), EDGE CU ( E-CU) are introduced for BTSplus. The EDGE CU hardware
is available with BR6.0 while software supporting EDGE is available with release
BR7.0.
E-CU HW is able to handle GSM/GPRS/HSCSD as well as ESCD/EGPRS. It is
possible to replace an GSM-CU (G-CU) by E-CU at any arbitrary rack position. Mixed
configuration with G-CU and E-CU are possible.

Combining configurations
For downlink transmission, there is a trade-off between the number of antennae and
the insertion loss for a given number of carriers: Increasing the number of antennae
decreases the DL insertion loss.
When there are many carriers per cell, filter combining becomes advantageous with
respect to insertion loss. However, filter combiners are more expensive than duplex
combiners and do not support synthesizer frequency hopping.
When insertion losses are unimportant, e.g. in micro cells, a configuration with
DUAMCO 8:2 minimizes cost (incl. the number of antennae) and also supports
synthesizer frequency hopping.

Duplexer Amplifier Multicoupler DUAMCO
The DUAMCO x:y are named according to the number x (x=2, 4, 8) of transmit
connectors fed by the CU and the number y (always y=2) of antenna connectors.
The DUAMCO contain duplexers for routing both transmit and receive path over the
same antenna. In addition, there are filters for transmit and receive signal.
All DUAMCO are composed of two independent sub-modules operating in the
same frequency band (but which can be assigned to different cells).
The receive path consists of a LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) and a power splitter. The
LNA provides for a low system noise and consists of two branches (for redundancy).
In case of malfunction of one amplifier the RX gain of the DUAMCO decreases by
about 6 dB. The power splitter distributes the received band to the carrier units
(splitting factors 2, 4 and 8 are available, depending on the type of DUAMCO).
The transmit path contains isolators, a hybrid coupler (with heat sink) and an ASU
(Antenna Supervision Unit, for measuring the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio VSWR).
The isolators have to protect the power amplifiers inside the CU from each other i.e.
they provide the required inter-modulation suppression. Two different hybrid couplers
(2:1, 4:1) combine up to 4 carriers to one antenna. The power, which is not
transmitted, is terminated in a load including cooler. The O&M interface of the
DUAMCO transmits error messages to the BTSE core via the CAN bus.

The Antenna Supervision Units measure the amount of reflection on the antenna
cable, the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio VSWR. Three ranges are distinguished:
VSWR<2: normal operation
2<VSWR<3: warning "antenna not adjusted"
3<VSWR: alarm "antenna faulty"
For "antenna faulty", a red LED on DUAMCO is lit and the connected CU modules
are switched off automatically.
For Operation & Maintenance, the DUAMCO building blocks ("managed objects")
antenna supervision DUVSWR,
low noise amplifier DULNA and
TMA remote power supply DUDCTMA
are fixedly assigned to the respective plug-in position (" ACOM slot"):

The DUAMCO amplifier has two different operation modes, which are selected by
DIP switches:
In AMCO mode where no TMA (Tower Mounted Amplifier) is used the DUAMCO
gain is around 19 dB.
Together with a TMA the DUAMCO works in MUCO mode. In MUCO mode the
gain is reduced to about 0 dB. The exact gain of the DUAMCO to compensate the
cable losses are adjusted with DIP switches. The service personnel only do this
adjustment once during the installation of the BTSE.
If both branches of TMA fail, a "fail save compensation" takes effect: the DUAMCO
switches automatically from MUCO mode to AMCO mode and operation continues
with performance degradation.
DUAMCO are available for the frequency bands P-GSM900, GSM-RE900, GSM1800
and GSM1900.
Insertion losses for the different DUAMCO types are given in the following table:

With FICOM up to 8 TX (in one rack) may be combined. FICOM contains tunable
narrow-band filters (TNF) making it unsuitable for synthesizer frequency hopping.
The advantage of filter combining is the very low insertion loss.
Two different types of modules are available:
Base module 2:1
Expansion module 2:1
Each of the two modules combines 2 carriers. But only the base module has an
antenna connector (7/16 connector) and reports the VSWR. A special RF connection
cable connects base and extension modules. Additionally, there is a test output at
every base module.
The number of base modules is equal to the number of cells. The number of
expansion modules per cell, however, depends on the total number of carriers per
cell (max 8).
The FICOM offers the following functions:
Radio Frequency: RF power combining, transmitter spurious signal suppression,
isolation between inputs and between input and output

Control / Monitoring: VSWR alarm thresholds setting and status report, internal
performance monitoring, interface to BTSE

LED: VSWR alarms, tuning alarms, presence of DC
lightning protection at RF output connector (7/16)
The insertion losses for FICOM are given in the following table:

The DIAMCO provides multi-coupling. It consists of two independent sub-modules

with receive filters, low noise amplifiers and power splitters.
The LNA provides for a low system noise and consists of two branches. In case of
malfunction of one amplifier the RX gain of the DIAMCO decreases by about 6 dB.
The power splitter distributes the received band to max 8 carrier units. Additionally,
the DIAMCO has a cascading output, which is used for rack extension.
The DIAMCO contains a PDU (Power Distribution Unit) for two TMA. The PDU
provides DC power supply and alarm supervision of the TMA. Alarm monitoring is
done with a signaling interface between DIAMCO and TMA, modulated onto an IF
carrier at 7.86 MHz: This interface is identical to the interface between DUAMCO and
TMA.
For Operation & Maintenance, the DIAMCO components ("managed objects")
TMA remote power supply DIDCTMA and
low-noise amplifier DILNA
are fixedly assigned to the DIAMCO slot:

DIAMCO Slot No
DIDCTMA No
DILNA No
0, 1
0, 1
2, 3
2, 3
The DIAMCO RX amplifier has two different operation modes, depending on the
existence of TMA. The modes are selected with a DIP switch.
In AMCO mode where no TMA is used, the DIAMCO gain is around 19 dB.
Together with a TMA the DIAMCO is configured in MUCO mode. In MUCO mode
the gain is reduced to about 0 dB. The exact gain of the DIAMCO to compensate
the cable losses is adjusted for the MUCO mode with DIP switches. The service
personnel only do this adjustment once during the installation of the BTSE.
As the TMA status information is available for the DIAMCO processor, the DIAMCO
itself switches the RX mode according to the TMA status (c.f. DUAMCO operation
with TMA):
DIAMCO transmits error messages to the BTSE core only via the CAN bus.
Note: For rack extension the first DIAMCO works in the AMCO mode and the
following DIAMCO sub modules in the MUCO mode. Cascading can be done max.
twice.

The TMA contains two duplex filters for combining transmit and receive path to a
single antenna and, in addition, an amplifier for the receive signal. The DUAMCO /
DIAMCO in this case is used in the MUCO mode, i.e. the DUAMCO / DIAMCO
mainly works as multi coupler to split the receive signal for the following CU.
The receive path consists of the RX part of the duplex filter and a LNA (Low Noise
Amplifier) including a fail save switch. The LNA provides for a low system noise and
consists of two branches (for redundancy). In case of malfunction of one amplifier the
RX gain of the TMA decreases by about 6 dB. If both amplifiers fail, they are
bypassed by a fail save switch.
The transmit path consists of the two TX parts of the duplexer.
The power distribution unit located in DUAMCO/DIAMCO provides the DC power for
the TMA.

High Power Duplexer HPDU
The High Power Duplexer is a RF module supporting max. 8 carriers which can be
used in two configurations:
Only two antennas per cell (instead of three, with diversity reception) when using
FICOM as antenna combiner

Only one antenna per cell (instead of two, without diversity reception) when using
FICOM
The main functions of HPDU for the TRX path are:
Filtering of the overall TX signal coming from the rack
Feeding the overall TX signal to the TX/RX antenna
and for the RX path:

Filtering of the overall RX signal coming from the TX/RX antenna
As shown in the block diagram below, the HPDU consists of a TX Filter, an RX Filter,
a matching network (always terminated with 50 load) and a Low Pass Filter (LPF)
for the RX path.
Three different HPDU versions are provided for P/PS-GSM900 and GSM1800 bands.

-48 V DC (not for BS241)
400 V, 50 Hz, 3-phase (3 x 230 V ac, single phase)
207 V, 60 Hz, 2-phase (2 x 120 V ac, single phase, US market)
For BS40/41 only

230 V, 50 Hz, single phase
207 V, 60 Hz and 240 V, 60 Hz, two phase (2 x 120 V ac)
are available.
A backup battery module is installed in BS40/41 base rack. Backup batteries for
BS24x and BS240XL and additional backup batteries for BS40/41 can be installed in
service racks / shelters.
Maximum 3 AC/DC modules are installed in BS40/41. For BS240/241, two frames
with 6 AC/DC modules (and a DC battery controller) each can be housed in service
rack 1. Max two battery systems (same capacity, located in the same rack) may be
connected to the same AC/DC frame. The service racks can house up to 3 battery
systems in as many shelves, composed of four units each.
The number of AC/DC modules needed depends on the configuration of the BTSE
(CU, core, ACOM etc) including the service racks (link equipment). The AC/DC
modules are designed for a primary voltage of 230 V AC and a DC output power of
800 W (temperature limit +50 C; for 720 W limit is +55 C). N+1 AC/DC modules
work in load sharing: in case one of the AC/DC modules fails, the remaining n
AC/DC can supply the whole BTSE.
The max. DC output power of one AC/DC subrack is limited to 4000 W. The backup
batteries are available with capacities 80 Ah, 85 Ah and 100 Ah for BS24x and 12 Ah
(integrated in base) for BS4x.

With new BTSplus existing networks may easily be expanded:

BTSplus and BS-20/21/60/61 are compatible on Abis level; i.e. they can be
connected to the same BSC, but cannot be interconnected (e.g. with the rack
extension feature).
A mixture at the same site is allowed if BS-60/61 and BS-240/241 have their own
Abis line (e.g. multidrop configuration) and are configured as two logical BTSE.
Software features run on all mainline BTS types (BS-2x, BS-6x, and BS24x).
OMC presentation of the mainline BTS types is different.
Mixed service of all BTSE types is possible (star, multidrop, loop or cross-connect
configuration).

Multicoupling beyond the rack borders (but not combining!) is allowed and can be
achieved by cascading of multicoupling equipment.
Cascading is realized by wiring the cascading output of a DUAMCO or DIAMCO to
the antenna input of a DUAMCO or a DIAMCO. Cascading should not be done more
than twice in series.
Diversity reception mixing DUAMCO and DIAMCO is allowed.

In addition to base and extension racks, up to five service racks for BS240/241 and
BS240XL (and four service racks for BS40/41) can be installed.
They provide battery backup, AC/DC converters and microwave and/or link
termination equipment. A service rack is not dedicated to a master / slave rack. The
service racks can be equipped freely.
All services racks which are equipped with AC/DC modules are called service rack 1
(i.e. type 1"), the others are called service rack 2 (type 2). The service racks can
house up to 3 battery systems in as many shelves, composed of four units each.
In the second half of year 2002 the cost-reduced versions (DTC) of the existing
BS240 and BS240XL were introduced. The new versions were called:
BS240 II
BS240 XL II
The BS240 II and BS240 XL II are supported by BR5.5 BSS SW and all follow on
releases. Both versions of the product (e.g. BS240 and BS240 II) can stay in parallel
in the network.
Some modifications in the mechatronics area of the BTSs were done in order to
implement the latest state of technology. These modifications concern in case of :
BS240 II and BS240 XL II base rack and expansion racks
cabling ( RF jumper cable can be now guided straight to the top which allows also
shorter cables (less losses) and simplified interrack cabling for DC)
DC panel (simplified interrack cabling for DC and ACTC-3V1 board integrated in DC)
BS240 II and BS XL II service racks
new AC/DC system (more powerful and thus less modules are required for the same
amount of. For max. load only one frame AC/DC is required so more space for
batteries /LE)
only one battery line allowing more flexible battery-backup

BS240 site configuration
For BS240/241, the base rack can be extended with up to two extension racks, all
controlled from the COBA. BS240XL supports a single extension rack. Rack
extension is not foreseen for BS40/41. Rack 0 is created automatically by SW, the
other racks (e.g. extension "1" and "2") are created by the operator.
The following configuration rules must be observed:
1. A rack houses up to 6 cells.
2. The maximum number of TRX per cell is 24.
3. The maximum number of cells per site is 12.
A multi-rack configuration (BS240/241 and BS240XL) contains the following units:
carrier units CU on the master rack and the extension racks
combining equipment on the master rack and the extension racks
core boards, i.e. the COBA board and the COSA board, on the master rack only
The CU in the extension racks are controlled by the COSA on the master rack.
Irrespective of rack extension, service racks may be used together with the base and
extension racks.
One complete BS240 consist of 1 Base Rack and two extension racks.
For BS240 and BS241 the max. number of service racks is 5.
The following table summarizes the racks and their numbering for BS24x/BS4x:

Service racks are represented from rack number 3 (BS24x and BS240XL, AC/DC
modules mandatory) and rack number 4 on (BS40/41, only service rack 2 allowed). A
service rack may contain:
AC/DC converter (service rack 1 only)
battery back-up
microwave/link equipment
In order to distinguish between Service 1 Rack containing old AC/DC system , so

called Lambda , and that one containing new AC/DC system the last one has got
name Service 1A Rack.
If, exceptionally, the base and the extension racks cannot be located side by side, the
following points must be observed:
TX combining is always done inside the borders of a single rack/shelter
expansion of RX paths beyond the borders of a rack or a shelter is possible by
cascading the multicoupling devices (DIAMCO or RX path of DUAMCO)

Given this restriction, the maximum allowed separation between base and
extension racks / shelters is 3 m. The separation of service racks / shelters is not
so critical but the cables to the base and extension racks have to be protected
against lightning.
If a rack / shelter is separated from another all interrack cabling must be located in a
closed metal earthed duct to protect against EMI, lightning and vandalism.

Rack layout
BS240XL features a new rack type used for all cabinets (base, extension, and
service). This rack has the same footprint (600 x 450) as the BS240 rack but
increased height (2025 vs. 1600 mm). Thus, an additional subrack (in total 4 instead
of 3 subracks) can be mounted increasing the capacity (per rack) by 4 CU and 2
DIAMCO.

Extension Racks
Mixing of BS240 and BS240XL racks is possible in principle, will be

implemented, however, on project-specific request only. In general, back-to-back
installation is preferred, as for the side-by-side installation a special EMI-shielded
"tube" carrying the inter-rack cabling is required.

The following modules are affected by the introduction of BS240XL:

Rack
There is only one type of hardware used indoors for the base, extension and service
racks. Their flexible configuration is achieved by different cabling kits and EMI
panels. Cabling access is from the top: ACOM are located in the highest subrack, the
core modules are placed in the lowest shelf. Fully equipped, a BS240XL is made up
of 7 racks (base, extension, service rack 1 and 4 service rack 2).
Subrack for Carriers
A new frame is used for both base and extension racks. The modification concerns
the new DIAMCO backplane necessary for the extended DIAMCO address range (0
to 3 vs. 0 to 1).
Power Supply
A new subrack (for AC/DC modules) is used in BS240XL service rack 1 due to a
change in DC cabling. The extension frame for additional 6 AC/DC modules is the
same as for the ("small") service rack.
The Mains Supply Unit MSU containing lightning protection, EMI filter and connection
terminal is modified to support a higher DC current (new EMI filter with capacity 80
A). This MSU is required for external DC power only (not in service rack 1).
For base and extension racks only, different types of EMI panels are introduced
(service racks use the same panel as in BS240). The EMI panel is for feeding
through the rack-top cabling. It contains spaces for OVPT, MSU and ACTM.
The DC panels are modified to provide additional CU breakers (in base and
extension racks) and breakers to support 80 A mains capacity (in service rack 1).
TRX Related Equipment
As the amount of DIAMCO per rack is increased (from 2) to 4, the address range
changes accordingly and must be supported by the DIAMCO firmware. Thus, the
"version 3" DIAMCO cannot be used in BS240XL. The newer versions (4 and later)
can be used both in BS240 and BS240XL. A coding keyway system makes sure that
only correct versions of DIAMCO can be installed.
FICOM can be used in BS240XL. However, fully equipped (4 ACOM positions), max.
8 TRX are combined. As combining beyond rack borders is not allowed, the (CU)
capacity of BS240XL cannot be fully used in this case. In consequence, the
installation of FICOM, HPDU and DUBIAS is of limited use in BS240XL.
No modification of carrier units CU is required, only their max. number per rack is
increased from 8 to 12.
