PBT: a power boost technology. In PBT mode, one channel of signals is divided into two

channels. These two channels of signals are amplified respectively, and then are combined

and transmitted. Thus, the transmit power is boosted and the DL signal strength is enhanced.

If the UL signals are optimized during network construction, the overall radio coverage is

expanded. PBT is applicable to the areas that require wide coverage.

Configuring PBT(Power Boost

Technology)
This section describes how to activate and verify the optional feature GBFD-115901
PBT(Power Boost Technology).

Prerequisites

Dependency on Hardware
o Currently, the following types of BTSs support the PBT: the BTS3012,
BTS3012AE, and DBS3900.
o The DTRU or DRRU board is configured for the base station. The
double-transceiver unit is configured with one carrier only on channel
0.
Dependency on Other Features
o None
License
o The license is activated.

Context

To improve uplink and downlink transmit power, power boost technology (PBT)
offered by Huawei is an ideal solution. In PBT mode, the double-transceiver unit
serves as a single transceiver. One signal output through modulation and DA
conversion is divided into two RF signals. These two signals then enter the power
amplifier for amplification. Then, the amplified signals are combined. As the two
signals are aligned in phase, the transmit power is amplified and the downlink signal
strength is increased. PBT is applicable to wide coverage areas.

The following procedure takes how to configure PBT for the DTRU of the BTS3012
as an example.

Figure 1 shows the connections between the DTRU and the DDPU in PBT mode.

Procedure

Activation Procedure
1. Run the BSC6000 MML command SET GTRXDEV. In this step, set
Send Mode to PBT(PBT).

NOTE:

When you configure PBT, the signal can be transmitted through only
channel 0.

Verification Procedure
1. Optional: Use the MS to make a call.

NOTE:

This step is required when the BCCH TRX is not carried on the TRX
board. This step is not required when the BCCH TRX is carried on the
TRX board.

2. Run the BSC6000 MML command SET GTRXDEV. In this step, set
Send Mode to NONE(none). Then test the BTS power by means of a
power measurement instrument, and record the result.
3. Run the BSC6000 MML command SET GTRXDEV. In this step, set
Send Mode to PBT(PBT).
4. Run the BSC6000 MML command LST GTRXDEV to query Send
Mode.

Send Mode is expected to set to PBT(PBT).

5. Measure the BTS power by a related instrument, and record the result.
6. Compare the test results obtained in Step 2 and Step 5.

Withe PBT enabled, the power obtained in step 5 is expected to be

much greater than that obtained in step 2.

Deactivation Procedure

This feature does not need to be deactivated.
