Technical Description (TED:BSS)
BS-240/241
Information
Base Station System
1.1
Main Features
The BS-240/241 is designed for max. 24 carriers in 3 Racks/Shelters plus Service
Racks/Shelters, if needed. The minimum configuration is one Rack or one Shelter with
a Service Rack/Shelter. Service Racks/Shelters can be configured to accommodate
Backup Batteries and Link Equipment. A Service Rack/Shelter can be equipped with
AC/DC Converters. Easy Rack/Shelter Extension is possible with one or two Extension
Racks/Shelters.
The BS-240/241 can be configured for the systems GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800 and
GSM 1900 with the following configurations:
–
Single band
–
Dual band: GSM 900, GSM 1800; GSM 900, GSM 1900; GSM 850, GSM 1800 and
GSM 850, GSM 1900 :
–
GSM 900, GSM 1800 cell mixed frequencies
–
Common BCCH channel for GSM 900, GSM 1800 cell (dual band)
–
Single cell
–
Multi cell
Up to 6 cells per Rack and up to 12 cells can be supported. A special case is the feature
“concentric cell”; one cell with 2 supply areas (inner and complete area). This feature
can be used in omnicells as well as in multicells with sectors.
The following combining options are supported:
–
Antenna combining with CU pairs to apply transmission diversity time delay.
–
Antenna combining with duplexers (DUAMCO) can be applied for 2, 4 and 8 carriers.
RF amplifier and multicoupler for the RX path are integrated
–
Antenna combining with Filter Combiners (FICOM) is possible for up to 8 carriers
onto one TX antenna
–
Cascading of multicoupler equipment (DIAMCO) is possible for up to 24 carriers
–
High Power Duplexer (HPDU) for reduction of the necessary numbers of antennas
in case of FICOM per cell for up to 8 carriers can be applied
–
Every BTSE has core equipment in the Base Rack/Shelter
–
Sensitivity is better than GSM requirements at the Rack entry by using DUAMCO or
DIAMCO units
–
BTSplus sensitivity is better than GSM requirements at the antenna connector by
using Tower Mounted Amplifiers (TMA)
–
EDGE Carrier Units (ECU)
–
Mixed Configurations of Cells/Sectors applying both EDGE Carrier Units (ECU) and
“normal” Carrier Units (CU)
Traffic Channels:
–
Full-Rate (FR)
–
Half-Rate (HR)
–
Enhanced Full-Rate (EFR)
–
Adaptive Multi Rate Codec (AMR)
Services:
–
GPRS
–
HSCSD
–
EDGE
Frequency Hopping:
–
Baseband
–
Synthesizer
