FN 159393 Configurable VSWR Alarm Threshold

3 FUNCTION OVERVIEW
3.1 FEATURE OVERVIEW
This feature provides an option to configure the two VSWR alarm thresholds based
on the implementation needs. VSWR readings provide information on the return loss
of the antenna system.
Currently ALU provides two fixed values for the VSWR alarms in distributed NodeB
systems as defined in ARD-0546. These values cannot be modified by application and
are set at the following levels:

Level 2 indicates the return loss of 9 dB, i.e. VSWR 2.1:1; this requires onsite
maintenance by operator.

Level 3 indicates the return loss of 6 dB, i.e. VSWR 3.01:1; the PA will
shutdown in case this level is reached as the intent is to protect the PA from
not being damaged by the high returned signal level.

With WCDMA deep coverage rollout, there is variant path loss due to the fact that
antenna is situated at variant distance from NodeB. Hence there is a need to have
more sensitive threshold for VSWR alarms.
This feature shall allow configuration of the two threshold values as follows:

Level 2: Configurable from 1.43:1 to 2.32:1 (i.e from 8 to 15 dB, Step 1dB RL),
default 9dB.

Level 3: Configurable from 1.58:1 to 3.01:1 (i.e from 6 to 13 dB, Step 1dB RL),
default 6dB.

As part of the feature a cleanup of existing parameters (rxVswrPeriodicity &


rxVswrThreshold) of rx VSWR are done from RAN Model.

4.1 PRINCIPLE
The feature shall be activated/de-activated by using a class 3 activation parameter
(isVSWRThresholdConfigurable). When the feature is deactivated, the default VSWR
threshold levels would be used. The threshold values are passed by CCM OAM to REPROXY.
REPROXY would carry these parameters over ARD 0546 / RMM to the respective REs.

4.2 BTS SUPPORTED CONFIGURATIONS


This feature shall be supported for all d2U and all future evolutions. Both CPRI protocol are
supported. (RMM or ARD 0546)

4.3 ASSUMPTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

The RU should support the configuration of the thresholds values for level 2 and level 3
alarms.

Not all RRH supports the configurable VSWR thresholds. It is not clear as which RRH
supports and which does not. RRH 40-21 supports and RRH 60-21c/TRDU60-21A/B
supports via CR DCTPD00835782

4.4 FUNCTIONALITY DISTRIBUTION


4.4.1 Configuring VSWR Thresholds
4.4.1.1

Feature Activation/Deactivation

The parameter isVSWRThresholdConfigurable shall be used to activate this feature. This


parameter shall be set to FALSE by default. When feature is activated the VSWR alarm threshold
level 2 and 3 are taken from the two model parameters, vSWRAlarmThresholdLevel2 and
vSWRAlarmThresholdLevel3. When feature is deactivated, the default values of 9 dB and 6 dB
respectively are applied for level 2 and level 3 threshold.

The above sequence diagram is the same for online modification of the VSWR alarm
threshold parameter.
4.4.1.1.1 CCM OAM
CCM OAM shall perform the check as mentioned in Requirement R2.1 (Section 3.2). If the check
fails, online activation is not performed and a nack is sent to OMCB / Simulator.
CCM OAM shall carry two new parameters (TxMainThreshold1 and TxMainThreshold2) which
indicate the VSWR alarm threshold level 2 and 3 in the new Set_VSWR_Threshold_Req message.
The values are as follows:
If isVSWRThresholdConfigurable == TRUE:
TxMainThreshold1 = vSWRAlarmThresholdLevel2 (from DLU)
TxMainThreshold2 = vSWRAlarmThresholdLevel3 (from DLU)
Else If isVSWRThresholdConfigurable == FALSE:
TxMainThreshold1 = 9 dB
TxMainThreshold2 = 6 dB
EndIf
The new Set_VSWR_Threshold_Req message is sent on online modification of any of the
three parameters below:

isVSWRThresholdConfigurable
vSWRAlarmThresholdLevel2
vSWRAlarmThresholdLevel3

4.4.1.1.1 REPROXY
REPROXY should extract the values of TxMainThreshold1 and TxMainThreshold2 from the
new Set_VSWR_Threshold_Req message and use the same values in RE_
SetVswrThresholds Request message towards RE. REPROXY would send Nack to CCM OAM
only when the RE_ SetVswrThresholds message has failed in all REs.

4.4.1.4

Display the threshold values at TIL


TIL Applet would use the existing menu which shows the entire DLU to display the
additional two VSWR alarm threshold values. These values are read-only.
4.4.1.4.1 CCM OAM
CCM OAM would store the two threshold values in the format below.
This format would be used for display in TIL.
RL x.0dB (VSWR x.xx)
For example: RL 14.0dB (VSWR 1.50)
The VSWR value could be obtained from the formula below.
VSWR = (1+ (10^(RL/20))) / ((10^(RL/20))-1); RL is the value in dB from DLU

5.2 INTERNAL IBTS INTERFACES


5.2.1 CCM OAM REPROXY
CCM OAM shall carry two new parameters (TxMainThreshold1 and TxMainThreshold2) which
indicate the VSWR alarm threshold level 2 and 3 in a new message (Set_VSWR_Threshold_Req).
The values are as follows:
0
1
2..7
8
9

type: SPECIFIC_REQ
sub-type: SET_VSWR_THRESHOLD
Generic part
TxMainThreshold1
TxMainThreshold2

If isVSWRThresholdConfigurable == TRUE:
TxMainThreshold1 = vSWRAlarmThresholdLevel2 (from DLU)
TxMainThreshold2 = vSWRAlarmThresholdLevel3 (from DLU)
Else If isVSWRThresholdConfigurable == FALSE:
TxMainThreshold1 = 9 dB
TxMainThreshold2 = 6 dB
EndIf
The corresponding Ack and Nack message shall be defined too.
(Set_VSWR_Threshold_Ack and Set_VSWR_Threshold_Nack). REPROXY shall populate the
same cause value received from RE (if any) in Nack message. The cause value will be
ignored by CCM OAM.

Class 0: the parameter cannot be modified and a new object instance must be
created or recreated with the requested value, thanks to build process or on line
creation command.
Class 2: the object instance (or the parent object instance) must be locked to
modify the parameter and the modification will be taken into account after the
object instance (or the parent object instance) has been unlocked.
