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.

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.
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

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.
