Flexi WCDMA BTS BB Site capacity upgrade

Flexi System Module channel capacity is designed to support flexible and cost optimized site
capacity evolution.
Basic Operating SW (OSW) of the Rel 1 HW (FSMB) Flexi WCDMA BTS System Module includes 32 CE
which can be activated into use without License
Also Basic OSW of the optional Rel 1 HW (FSMB) BB Extension System Module HW includes 32 CE
which can be activated into use without License
Baseband dimensioning rules for Rel2 HW has changed. For more information, please see info of
the new model later in this material
Upgrades in 1CE steps on BTS Site level are supported.
Additional CE capacity will be allocated remotely from Net Act by sending Channel Capacity SW
License to Flexi WCDMA BTS. So, Flexi WCDMA BTS site capacity can be optimized in the step of
one CE without a site visit
No HW upgrades are needed until the maximum site capacity is reached

New way to calculate/dimension Channel Elements in

Release 2 HW System Modules (FSMC, FSMD)
Common Channels included in Rel2 HW System Module as below:
3 cells/20 km cell radius: with 1 System module:

E.g. 1+1+1 with 20 km cell radius

6 cells/10 km cell radius: with 1 System module:

E.g. 2+2+2 with 10 km or 6 * 1 with 10 km cell radius

6 cells/20 km cell radius: with 2 System modules:

E.g. 2+2+2 with 20 km or 6 * 1 with 20 km cell radius

9 cells/10 km cell radius: with 2 System modules : E.g. 3+3+3 with 10 km cell radius
12 cells/10 km cell radius: with 2 System modules : E.g. 4+4+4 with 10 km cell radius

However, in certain cases if longer cell radius is preferred, more CE capacity may need to be licensed:

In case of 6 cells/20 km cell radius with 1*Rel2 System Module: 36 CE license key needed
In case of 9 cells/20 km cell radius with 2*Rel2 System Modules: 36 CE license key needed
In case of 12 cells/20 km cell radius with 2*Rel2 System Modules: 72 CE license key needed

consumes 80 CE reservation per scheduler from
FSMB
Max number of simultaneous users is 48 per 80
CE reservation
Each 80 CE reservation can handle 1, 2 or 3 cells.
BTS can have several code shared schedulers
which makes possible to configure e.g.... 4 and 6
sectors sites with 2x80 CE allocation.
Provides fully flexible 10.8 Mbps data rate to be
shared among up to 3 cells
If two cells are empty, one cell can use all 10.8
Mbps, radio conditions permitting
In low usage scenario (e.g.. active users in only
one cell) provides identical performance as
dedicated HSDPA scheduler per cell

HSUPA activation requires a "fixed pool" of 8 CE when activating the feature.

Depending on the total amount of free available CE (#licenses and installed HW capacity),
the traffic load, BTS Resource Manager can dynamically allocate additional BB resources for HSUPA.
A max. of 160CE can be utilized by HSUPA. In case of conflict with R99 RT or NRT traffic needs, BTS Resource
manager will reduce the amount of BB resources available for HSUPA.
Each user can reach max 2.0 Mbps
Please Note that HSUPA requires HSDPA for DL.
In addition to the CE consumption for HSDPA and HSUPA activation, 1 CE for signaling is required per user.

Radio Planning Principles much easier with Flexi

Make sure that there is enough coverage
Low drop call rate with good quality
Put sites close to the users
No blocking if all cells collect some traffic
low Interference if UEs are near to the cell
Avoid unnecessary overlapping with the cells
low interference level
High throughput for PS data
Low Soft handover overhead

Faster, more
economic Site
Acquisition &
rollout with Flexi
BTS

Flexi has better Link budget with smaller cable loss (typ. 3 dB) and
better Rx sensitivity performance
Due to the very low system noise figure in
Flexi BTS, its RX sensitivity is approx. 1 dB
better than with UltraSite
It is possible to have 2..4 dB smaller feeder
cable loss with Flexi if RF module is located
close to the antenna
Normally MHA is not used with 1..2 dB
cable losses or with RF head solution
If Nokia MHA is used, no separate bias-Ts
are needed since MHA power feeding and
control is integrated into the RF module
