There are two installation positions for BS-82 II shelters: wall mounting pole mounting For wall mounting, the minimum distance between the base shelter and an extension shelter is 450 mm. The maximum possible distance between the base and an extension shelter is 1.70 m due to the length of the protective tube for inter-shelter cabling. With a configuration of the base and 2 extension shelters the base shelter must be installed in the middle, between the 2 extension shelters. For detailed mounting instructions refer to IMN:BS-82 II (eMicro II).

Block Diagram of the BS-82 II Base Shelter (DC-supplied) The main communication between the modules is provided by means of bi-directional serial links (CC-links) between the carrier units and the COBA. These CC-links handle the entire communication between BTSE core and carrier units basedband frequency hopping is also supported by these links. All alarms, besides the alarms generated in the COBA and in the carrier units, are transported via the CAN bus. Alarms of the carrier units are transmitted via CC-link, the COBA uses the interface bus. The carrier unit provides all analog and digital signal processing including an RF power stage necessary to process a single carrier (e.g. GSM 8 TCHs). The carrier unit(s) interface with the combining equipment on the one side and with the COBA on the other modules. The COBA provides functions common to all carriers within the BTSE (e.g. clock generation, O&M processing,...) as well as LAPD processing for the carriers.

Name convention for COBAs: The first digit gives the number of Abis-interfaces, the following letter gives the kind of Abis-interface (e.g. P for PCM30/24), and the following number gives the number of carrier-unit-interfaces (CC-links). For example: COBA2P8 means 2 PCM30/24 Abis-interfaces and 8 carrier-unit-interfaces. COBA4P12 means 4 PCM30/24 Abis-interfaces and 12 carrier-unit-interfaces. The base core controller maintains the software of all BTSE units in FLASH-EPROMs, monitors the software download, and terminates all internal system alarms. Beside the O&M functions, the controller handles the signalling messages between the BSC (Abis) and carrier units (CC-link).

The ACLK generates the system specific timing signals that are distributed by the CC-link to the carrier units. With the installation of a COBA type COBA4P12 the cross-connect feature is supported.
It is recommended to install a COBA from type COBA4P12 in case of: a high number of packet channels with high EDGE coding schemes the use of PCM24 links, especially in combination with multidrop Fault propagation through dependent modules If a failure occurs in the COBA, the entire BTSE is out of operation. In case of a COBA failure all active calls are lost.

The so called fourfold receive diversity mode is the single TRX mode in which the FlexCU functions as one carrier unit with four receivers. If transmit diversity is enabled, this mode is automatically activated. The four receivers of the FlexCU are fed by 4 independent antennas via one (F)DUAMCO together with one DIAMCO. The TX path is fed via the (F)DUAMCO to 2 of the 4 antennas. The fourfold receive diversity mode enhances the receiver sensitivity of the BTSE. The doubled number of the RX paths leads to an enhanced diversity gain.

Combining Modules
Combining modules are RF-dependent modules. It is possible to implement DUAMCO/FDUAMCO modules of different frequency bands, but: All combining equipment in a cell must support the same frequency range (that means either GSM 850, or GSM 900, or GSM 1800, or GSM 1900).
3.4.1
i i
Use FDUAMCO850Vx modules for the GSM 850 MHz band. DUAMCOs of different versions have a different TX attenuation. The DUAMCO is equipped with complete TMA interfaces for DC supply and signalling. For more information about the DUAMCO please refer to page 48. Fault propagation through dependent modules Each amplifier of the DUAMCO RX path (LNA) consists of two parallel branches. If only one branch of one amplifier has a failure, the amplifier will reach lower sensitivity and generates a warning. The operation continues with performance degradation. If more than one branch of the whole amplifier chain is faulty, the corresponding path of the receiver will not be ready for operation. The connected carrier units lose one of their RX paths (normal or diversity path). The operation continues without diversity feature. If a carrier unit loses both RX paths, it will be set out of operation.
3.4.2

3.4.3
3.4.4
If the TMA is used together with a HPDU, a BIAS-T (DUBIAS) for powering and signalling of the TMA is required. For more information about the TMA please refer to page 55. Fault propagation through dependent modules The TMA watches its LNA by monitoring the DC current and generates an alarm message towards (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO. The connected (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO generates an alarm to O&M in case of malfunction. LEDs on the front panel of the (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO show the state of each TMA. Each green LED indicates that the DC for the TMA is OK and each red LED gives notice of a faulty TMA if the BTSE is configured for TMA. The LNA consists of two parallel branches. If only one branch has a failure, the amplifier reaches lower gain and the connected (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO will generate a warning towards the O&M. Operation continues with performance degradation. In case that both branches fail, the amplifier will be bypassed by the Fail save switch. The connected (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO generates an alarm message towards the O&M. The red LED in the (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO of the concerned TMA is switched on, and the multicoupler device will be switched into AMCO mode automatically. The operation continues with minor performance degradation.
32
A30808-X3247-L26-9-7618
If a TMA is installed, the (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO works in MUCO mode and only the second amplifier of the RX chain is active. If both branches of the TMA fail, Fail Save Compensation will take effect. The TMA connects the antenna directly to the (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO and the (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO receives a message to switch over into AMCO mode. In AMCO mode both amplifiers become active and the attenuation switches off. The connected carrier units continue their operation with minor performance degradation. Only a POWER ON/RESET or a software reset can terminate the state of Fail Save Compensation.

The battery backup feature guarantees continuous operation for a definite time in case of AC mains breakdown or AC/DC module failure. One backup battery is mandatory for each shelter. One type of battery with a nominal capacity of 5.5 Ah (48 V) is available. It consists of a set of four batteries (12V each), two fastening belts for the battery blocks and a protective cover. The installation of an additional battery set is not possible. Emergency Operation The backup time of each BS-82 II system can be increased by using the Emergency Operation feature. To hold the BS-82 II in operation mode for an extended time, it is necessary to switch over to Emergency Configuration after a user-defined time. In this mode, none or only operator defined TRX remain in operation. All TRX, which are not part of the emergency configuration, are switched off. If enabled, a second timer counts for another user-defined time. With its expiration, all modules are switched off, except the COBA. This means Zero Configuration.
The Emergency Configuration is also available for a DC-supplied BTSE and is triggered by a special external alarm. This alarm is non-configurable by the software but fix dedicated to the Emergency Configuration.

DC Panel (DCP)
The DC panel is used for distribution of the -48V supply voltage to the modules and integrates the DC breakers to protect the DC power lines. 4 DC breakers are available for the carrier units, the COBA, the combiners, the LE, the heater, the fan, and the battery (for AC-supplied BTSE only).
A fifth DC breaker BR05 with 25A exists for the DC system. This breaker is not part of the DC panel but the DC module (underneath the DC panel) and therefore available for DC-supplied BTSE only. In addition, 2 connectors (LMT and ethernet connector) are integrated into the front cover of the DC panel. These connectors are linked to the COBA module.

Fan Unit
The fan unit produces a sufficient airflow to cool the installed modules. In order to keep both the acoustic noise and the power consumption of all fans at the lowest level possible, the fan speed is temperature controlled via an integrated (internal) sensor. Furthermore, each fan delivers a Fan good or Fan bad signal. The signal is collected by the ACTC and processed by the COBA. One fan unit is installed in each shelter. A mixed configuration of fan types is permitted.
i 3.10
If at least one FlexCU is installed, fan units FANV6 or FAN-NIVx must be used in all CU sub-frames.
Heater Unit
The heater is an optional unit for outdoor use. The tasks of the heater are to preheat the ingested air and to warm up the shelter, if the temperature inside the shelter is below the specified operating temperature range of the integrated modules. If ambient temperatures below -5 C are expected, each shelter needs one heater unit. During cold start, only the heaters and the DCBCTRL board are supplied. All other modules remain off. They are switched on as soon as the shelter temperature is higher than +5 C. For each shelter one heater is needed. Restriction If a shelter is equipped with a dust filter (for indoor applications only) then installation of a heater unit is not permitted. Fault propagation through dependent modules If the heater is faulty, the BTSE will operate as long as the temperature inside the shelter stays within defined operating range. If the temperature falls below the lower threshold of the defined range, the DC supply of system load is switched off and the BTSE goes down. If the internal temperature rises into the defined operating range again, the BTSE starts automatically with operation.

4.3.1
FDUAMCO / DUAMCO
The (F)DUAMCO (flexible duplexer amplifier multicoupler) modules contain duplex filters in order to combine the transmit and receive paths to one antenna connector. The receive and transmit part of the duplex filter, respectively, provide the substantial part of the receive and transmit band filtering required by GSM 05.05, 11.21 and JTC J-STD-007. The (F)DUAMCO represents one LRU. The type of (F)DUAMCO required depends on the carriers to be combined to the antenna system. Its modules can be assigned to the same cell or to different cells.
The frequency band of the (F)DUAMCO must correspond to the frequency band of the concerning cell to be served. The (F)DUAMCO consists of two (identical) modules and a common part. Each module contains a duplex filter which combines the RX and the TX path together, to be fed to a common antenna. Each RX path consists of: the low noise amplier (LNA), 2 branches an attenuator a power splitter a cascade output The LNA ensures a low system noise figure and consists of two branches. In case of malfunction of one amplifier, the RX gain of the (F)DUAMCO decreases by about 6 dB. The power splitter distributes the received signal to the carrier units. A splitting factor of 4 is implemented in order to feed up to four TRX. Each TX path consists of: an isolator for the TX input an antenna supervision unit (ASU) for DUAMCO 4:2: a hybrid coupler for FDUAMCOs: a jumper for combining mode setting The isolator for the TX input protects the power amplifiers (PAs) inside the carrier units from each other in order to assure the required inter-modulation suppression. The (F)DUAMCO detects a VSWR alarm and generates a failure information towards the O&M (CAN bus interface). This information is subdivided in several levels with the following characteristics: VSWR < 2 neither generation of warning nor of an alarm 2 VSWR 3 generation of warning Minor VSWR fault VSWR > 3 generation of VSWR alarm Major VSWR fault A hybrid coupler feeds two TX inputs together to the TX path.
48
A30808-X3247-L26-9-7618
The common part consists of: a DC/DC converter plus a power distribution unit (PDU) an O&M interface The DC/DC converter supplies the (F)DUAMCO itself. The PDU provides the DC power supply and the alarm monitoring of the TMAs. Alarm monitoring is done with a signalling interface between (F)DUAMCO and TMA, modulated onto a IF carrier at 7.86 MHz. The O&M interface transmits error messages to the COBA via a O&M bus (CAN bus). Operating Modes The (F)DUAMCO has 2 operating modes. During the BTSE commissioning, the RX path must be switched into one of these modes (by DIP switches): AMCO mode MUCO mode The high amplifying AMCO mode is used, if the antenna is directly connected to the (F)DUAMCO (without a preamplifier TMA). The (F)DUAMCO gain is around 20/22 dB. The low amplifying MUCO mode is used in conjunction with a preamplifier (TMA). In the MUCO mode, the gain is reduced to about 2 dB. The gain of the (F)DUAMCO can be adjusted to the cable loss and the TMA gain with the DIP switch. This adjustment is only done once during the installation of the BTSE by the service personal. In the case of an installed TMA, the additional gain (which is higher than the cable loss) needs to be adjusted by means of an attenuator inside the (F)DUAMCO. The selected mode can be read by O&M software via CAN bus interface. With DUAMCO 2:2 or 4:2 or FDUAMCO in 2:2 or 4:2 mode an RX splitting factor of 4 is implemented in order to feed up to 4 carriers.
4.3.1.1
DUAMCO Specials
The DUAMCO x:y are named depending on the number "x" of transmit connectors fed by the carrier units and the number "y" of antenna connectors. Different versions of DUAMCO are available: DUAMCO 2:2 to combine up to 2 carriers (DUAMCO2xxx types) DUAMCO 4:2 to combine up to 4 carriers (DUAMCO4xxx types)
DUAMCOs of different versions have a different TX attenuation. If 2 carriers shall be combined to the antenna system, the TX output of each carrier unit has to be fed to a TX input of a DUAMCO 2:2. Combining of the 2 carriers takes place on air. If more than 2 carriers shall be combined to the antenna system, a DUAMCO 4:2 is necessary. The following figures show the block diagrams of the different types of DUAMCO:

FDUAMCO Specials
Up to BR 7.0 max. 2 TRX are connected to one FDUAMCO. With the use of FlexCUs (from BR 8.0 onwards) max. 4 TRX can be connectd to one FDUAMCO. Each half of the FDUAMCO can be configured in One-To-One mode (like DUAMCO 2:2) and Two-To-One mode (like DUAMCO 4:2) by means of jumper cables, which insert the 3 dB hybrid or not. One-To-One means that the hybrid is not used, Two-To-One means that the hybrid is used. The use of the integrated hybrid is optional (use of jumper cables).

DIAMCO
The DIAMCO (dual integrated amplifier multicoupler) is required for the RX signal path in FICOM configurations and special DUAMCO configurations. The DIAMCO is required to implement two cells/sectors with RX diversity in a base or extension shelter. For the uplink direction, a DIAMCO module splits the RX antenna signal into several receiver inputs. Therefore it filters and distributes the received signals to the carrier units in one shelter. The receive filters provide the substantial part of the receive band filtering required by GSM 05.05, 11.21 and JTC J-STD-007. One DIAMCO represents one LRU. Its modules can be assigned to the same cell or to different cells as long as they operate in the same frequency band.
The frequency band of the DIAMCO must correspond to the frequency band of the concerning cell to be served. The DIAMCO consists of 2 identical, independent modules and a common part. Each module contains: an RX lter the low noise amplier (LNA) an attenuator a power splitter a cascade output The LNA ensures a low system noise figure 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 the carrier units. The splitting factor is 8. That means each module can drive up to 8 receiver inputs. The common part consists of: a DC/DC converter plus a power distribution unit (PDU) for two TMAs an O&M interface The DC/DC converter supplies the DIAMCO itself. The functionality of a PDU for two TMAs by means of an antenna feeder cable is integrated. This is the DC power supply and the alarm monitoring of the TMAs. Alarm monitoring is done with a signalling interface between DIAMCO and TMA, modulated onto a IF carrier at 7.86 MHz: This interface is identical to the interface between (F)DUAMCO and TMA. The O&M interface transmits error messages to the BTS core via a O&M bus (CAN bus). Due to the fact that TMA status information is available for the DIAMCO processor, the DIAMCO itself has to switch the RX mode according to the TMA status. Each TMA can be switched on or off by a separate switch. Operating Modes The DIAMCO RX amplifier has two operating modes, depending on the existence of TMAs: AMCO mode and MUCO mode. During the BTSE commissioning, the RX path must be switched into one of these modes: AMCO mode MUCO mode The high amplifying AMCO mode is used, if the antenna is directly connected to the DIAMCO (without a preamplifier, e.g. TMA). The DIAMCO gain is around 20/22 dB.

The low amplifying MUCO mode is used in conjunction with a preamplifier (TMA). In the MUCO mode the gain is reduced to about 2 dB. The gain of the DIAMCO can be adjusted to the cable loss and the TMA gain with the DIP switch. This adjustment is only done once during the installation of the BTSE by the service personal. In the case of an installed TMA, the additional gain (which is higher than the cable loss) needs to be adjusted by means of an attenuator inside the DIAMCO. The selected mode can be read by O&M software via CAN bus interface. When cascading DIAMCOs, the first DIAMCO works in the AMCO mode and the following DIAMCO in the MUCO mode.

TMA
In cell configuration with TMA, the true system RX sensitivity is guaranteed at the antenna connector, including the antenna feeder cable attenuation. For shelter configuration without antenna pre-amplifier, the sensitivity is guaranteed only at the shelter entry. The TMA (tower mounted amplifier) is an optional module and connects the antenna with the BTSE in order to amplify the receive signal and pass through the transmit signal. The TMA contains two duplex filters, each on one RF connector, to separate and combine the receive and transmit path inside the TMA. The configuration with TMA is advantageous because of the compensation of the antenna feeder cable losses. One TMA is needed for each RX path of (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO, in MUCO mode and not cascaded. A TMA represents one LRU. There are two kinds of TMA: the "single TMA" (types TMA and STMA) and the "dual TMA" (type DTMA). The single TMA consists of: 2 duplex lters to split RX and TX paths the low noise amplier (LNA) to amplify RX signals "Fail Safe Functionality" to ensure operation in case of faulty LNA A dual TMA consists of two identical, independent single TMA modules. Two (S)TMAs may be replaced by one DTMA unit of the same frequency band. The DC power for the TMA is feed into the triplexer by the power distribution unit (PDU) functionality of the (F)DUAMCO/DIAMCO (via the antenna feeder). The encoder/decoder units of the TMA signalling interface generate an alarm for each TMA separately by monitoring the DC current consumption of each unit. The following figures show the block diagrams of the TMA single and dual:

Diplexer
The diplexer gives the possibility to use one antenna feeder cable for both GSM 850 with GSM 1900 and GSM 900 with GSM 1800 frequencies. One diplexer is needed to combine the two different frequencies at the BTS side and the other one to separate the frequencies near the antennas. The diplexer offers the possibility to reduce the number of antenna feeder cables in all cases where GSM 900 and GSM 1800, GSM 1900 or GSM 850 and GSM 1900 feeder cables have to be installed in parallel. For example: An existing GSM 900 network will be extended by a GSM 1800 or GSM 1900 network to implement a dual band network.
The diplexer is a commodity product, which is available from many filter manufacturers.

Revised FCC Certification for ECU / FlexCU 1900 For ECUs/FlexCUs with 1930.2 and 1989.8 MHz frequencies, in order to fulfil the FCC requirements in the USA, the maximum transmitting power of the corner frequencies of the GSM 1900 band (channel numbers 512 and 810, and 1930.2 MHz and 1989.8 MHz respectively) is decreased for all carrier units available for the U.S. market. This feature is realized per software. The BTS evaluates the mobile country code (MCC) provided by the BSC via the attribute cellGlobalIdentity. If the MCC indicates USA, the BTS reduces the output power of the corner frequencies dependent on the hardware type of the carrier unit.
