CHAPTER 1. TECHNICAL OVERVIEW OF FLEXI EDGE BTS
This section gives a technical overview of Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS.
1.1 Introduction
Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS is a modular base station for GSM/EDGE capacity and coverage. Its
modular design makes site acquisition and installation easier, reducing the time needed for
rolling out network coverage in a new area. Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS allows using existing
site space sparingly and efficiently. Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS introduces GSM/EDGE modules
to the Nokia Flexi BTS family. Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS is based on the same Nokia Flexi
platform as Nokia Flexi WCDMA BTS, enabling efficient multiradio sites including
GSM/EDGE and WCDMA/HSPA and other radio technologies such as WiMAX in the
future.
1.2 Easy installation
With Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS, weatherproof modules and casings are used to build base
stations and a dedicated BTS cabinet is not necessary. The modules used without a cabinet
are environmentally protected (IP55 compliant) and, due to a broad operational temperature
range, suitable for varied climatic conditions. A fully functional macrocellular BTS consists
of only two logical modules which can be carried by one person. Capacity can be expanded
simply by adding modules. With Flexi EDGE BTS, it is possible to upgrade remotely with
the license mechanism, provided the HW required for the configuration is already installed.
That is, the installed BTS HW is configured as upgrade optimised configuration (see Nokia
Flexi EDGE BTS Feature Descriptions document). The same modules are used in indoor andoutdoor sites for macro-cellular and microcellular solutions. The modules can be installed on
floor, wall, or pole.

1.3 Capacity and performance
Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS is highly integrated. For example, it supports up to 24 TRXs (12
Dual TRXs) in the volume of a traditional single BTS cabinet. There is virtually no limit to
site capacity, due to synchronised Nokia FlexiEDGE BTS chaining.
Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS provides top-of-class RF performance with balanced link, similar to
existing Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS. In standard Capacity mode, it provides TRX output
power of 47 dBm (ca. 46 dBm at BTS antenna port in combiner by-pass configuration) and
system sensitivity of -115.5 dBm. Double Power TRX and coverage features secure an even
higher performance for coverage-limited environments.
1.4 Increased speed of network roll-out and reduced operating costs
Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS can minimise BTS site rental costs as a BTS specific cabinet is no
longer needed. The floor space required for large configurations is reduced, or in case of wall
installation, not needed at all. The existing site support and auxiliary cabinets with sufficient
space and cooling can be used to house the modules, further increasing the efficiency of site
space.
When it comes to rectifier and battery maintenance, the reduced power consumption enables
the use of smaller power systems with fewer batteries. If lithium batteries are used, the
maintenance interval is longer. The traditional batteries require regular maintenance twice a
year.
When it comes to site maintenance, there are advantages compared to the current BTS
solutions. Diesel generators need to be started less frequently, as the batteries supply the base
station for a longer period of time compared to old BTSs. New installation options make it
possible to install the base stations to places that are better protected against vandalism and
natural catastrophes. This means that less shelter maintenance is required.

1.5 Common Nokia Flexi platform for efficient multi-radio sites
Common Nokia Flexi multimode platform for GSM/EDGE and WCDMA/HSPA ensures that
high capacity multimode sites can be built smoothly and cost-effectively. Evolution from
GSM/EDGE to WCDMA/HSPA and to further radio technologies such as WiMAX can be
ensured rapidly and with minimal effort. With Nokia Flexi platform, the site design and
capacity expansion principles are the same. GSM/EDGE and WCDMA/HSPA modules are
the same size and follow the same installation principles, which increase efficiency, as the
same installation teams can be used for different radio technologies. The modules can be
installed into the same stack or they can share the same BTS cabinet. Battery backup systems
(BBU), site accessories, and transmission can also be shared.

CHAPTER 2. CONSTRUCTION AND MODULES
2.1. Main modules
A functional Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS can be built with just two logical modules: Nokia Flexi
EDGE System Module and Nokia Flexi EDGE Sector Module. The Sector Module is a
logical unit consisting of two building blocks: Dual TRX Module (EXxA) and Dual Duplexer
Module (ERxA). Typically one Sector Module is needed per sector. Sector expansions are
done just by adding more Dual TRXs and optional Wideband Combiners (WBCs). Another
option is to use the Remote Tune Combiner Module together with Dual TRX Modules; the
Dual Duplexer Module is then not needed.
2.1.1. Nokia Flexi EDGE System Module (ESMA)
The System Module is a unit providing BTS common functionalities and external and
internal connections for the whole BTS. The BTS software is stored in the System Module.
The System Module also receives and stores the unit identification information of all other
units of the BTS. The System Module supports configurations to up to 12 TRXs. For larger
configurations, the System Extension Module is used.
The main functions of the System Module are:
BTS O&M
BTS integrated transport
System bus control and module synchronisation
Power distribution (48 VDC) to other modules
The following plug-in transmission sub-module variants are available for the Flexi EDGE
System Module (ESMA). There is space for one transmission sub-module in the System
Module.

E1/T1 transmission sub-module (FIPA)
The FIPA offers eight balanced E1/T1-interfaces.
E1 transmission sub-module (FIEA)
The FIEA offers eight unbalanced E1-interfaces.
FlexBus transmission sub-module (FIFA)
The FIFA offers two Flexbus-interfaces connecting radiolinks that belong to the
Nokia Hopper-family. FIFA can also be used for connecting other transmission
devices offering Flexbus-interface.
Abis over IP Ethernet and E1/T1 (FIQA)
The FIQA sub-module offers two Fast Ethernet-, one Gigabit Ethernet- and four
balanced E1/T1-interfaces. SFP module is required for Gigabit Ethernet.
Abis over IP Ethernet and E1 (FIYA)
The FIYA sub-module offers two Fast Ethernet-, one Gigabit Ethernet- and four
unbalanced E1 -interfaces. SFP module is required for Gigabit Ethernet.
2.1.2. Nokia Flexi EDGE Dual TRX Module (EXxA)
The Dual TRX Module (EXxA) is a two-carrier TRX unit. The module contains the common
(2 carrier) baseband part and two separate RF parts for two transceivers (transmitter andreceiver chains) and space for two optional Wideband Combiners (WBC).
The Dual TRX Module is used as:
A combined module with the Dual Duplexer Module (ERxA), making a logical
Sector Module
or A stand-alone TRX module with the Remote Tune Combiner (RTC) module
or A stand-alone extension TRX module.
-

The Dual TRX Module and System Module communication is managed through a single
Ethernet interface. Each transceiver within the Dual TRX Module can be separately activated
with a licence key at the BSC.
The Dual TRX Module contains two transceivers that can be used:
as a separate TRX in the same sector (TRXs in the Sector Module are always in the
same sector),
as a separate TRX in different sectors (the TRX in the extension Dual TRX Module
can be connected to two sectors via different Sector Modules)
as a Double Power TRX (synchronised combining of transmitters of both TRXs gives
a TRX with double output power and single TRX capacity).
or as an Intelligent Downlink Diversity (IDD) TRX.
There are separate Dual TRX Modules for each frequency band that Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS
supports:
EXTA GSM800; EXDA GSM1800; EXGA GSM900; EXPA GSM1900
2.1.3. Nokia Flexi EDGE Dual Duplexer Module (ERxA)
The Dual Duplexer Module and the Dual TRX Module create one Sector Module. A
minimum of one Dual Duplexer Module (both Antenna ports) is needed per sector to enable
diversity. The Dual Duplexer Module is always attached to the Dual TRX Module, which
provides the Dual Duplexer Module with power feeding and O&M link. Extension Dual TRX
Modules are installed without the Dual Duplexer Module.
The role of the Dual Duplexer Module is to provide the duplex functionality to combine TX
and RX signals in a common antenna feeder. The Dual Duplexer Module provides two
antenna connections (configured from 1 or 2 sectors) of Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS for by-pass
and wideband combined configurations. The Dual Duplexer Module supports antenna
sharing (cositing) with another BTS.

CHAPTER 3. APPLICATIONS AND CONFIGURATIONS
3.1 Capacity solutions
In urban and suburban areas, operators typically provide the mobile services, including voice
and data, from high capacity macro-cellular sites. In urban environments, large mobile traffic
hot spots must be covered, often requiring very high site configurations. In suburban
locations, there is a simultaneous need for high capacity and cost-effective area coverage.
The radio equipment best suited for these locations has excellent radio performance. In
addition, it has the ability to expand smoothly from small to very large capacities, using the
site space sparingly in order to keep site running costs at minimum.
Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS allows building very high capacity macro-cellular sites, taking only
little site space even with large configurations. Up to 24 TRX configurations can be built in
the volume of a traditional BTS and with one BCF object.
The carrier capacity of Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS can be flexibly dimensioned according to the
expected traffic by increasing the number of Dual TRX Modules. Each Dual TRX Module
supports two GSM/EDGE TRXs. When expanding capacity, the two TRXs in one Dual TRX
Module can be connected to different sectors. With licence keys, it is possible to commission
a single TRX of the DTRX module if necessary.
Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS offers flexible combining options to increase the BTS capacity
without a need to add the number of BTS antennas. Transport capacity can be configured
independently of the air interface capacity. This enables building initial coverage with limited
capacity transmission infrastructure.
Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS supports virtually unlimited site capacity. Up to nine BCFs can be
chained.

CHAPTER 4. TRANSMISSION
4.1. Overview of Flexi EDGE BTS transmission
The Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS integrated transmission function is located in Flexi EDGE
System Module (ESMA). There is space for one transmission sub-module in the System
Module. Different transmission sub-modules are used depending on the needed interface.
The Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS has been optimized for tail and chain sites. In case more
transmission interfaces or media conversion is needed the FlexiHub (or FIU19E) can be used
as a transmission hub for Nokia Flexi BTS product family.
Transmission sharing in co-sited Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS and Nokia Flexi WCDMA BTS is
described in Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS Co-siting.
4.2. Transmission interfaces
The Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS supports two different transmission Medias: radio link and wire
line.
Radio link transmission
The FIFA is the radio link transmission sub-module for the BTS. The FIFA has two Flex bus
interfaces for connecting:
one or two Nokia microwave radio outdoor units
two FIFA sub-modules in different BTSs
one Flex bus interface to another transmission device offering a Flex bus interface
(such as Flexi Hub, FIU19E, Ultra Site EDGE, Ultra Site WCDMA or Flexi
WCDMA).

CHAPTER 6. FEEDERLESS AND DISTRIBUTED SITE
Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS Feederless and Distributed Site Solutions refer to a situation where
the System Module (ESMA) and Dual TRX Modules (EXxA) are installed apart from each
other. The Optical Converter Module (EOCA) is used at both ends of the optical fibre for
interfacing the System Module and Dual TRX Modules.
The benefits of the Feederless and Distributed Site Solutions compared to a traditional BTS
site are:
Overall site RF performance is better compared to antenna feeders installation (the
gain can be 2...5dB).
The solutions open easier, new and optimized installation possibilities especially in
difficult places.
There is no need for mast head amplifiers.
6.1. Feederless site
In the feeder less site solution, the distance between the System Module and the Dual TRX
Module can be up to 150 m. The feeder less site solution is typically used either on a rooftop
BTS site as or as mast head BTS site. In both cases the Dual TRX Module can be installed
very close to the antenna. This can lower the site investment costs whilst improving the
coverage, as the total length of antenna feeder line required is reduced.
6.2. Distributed site
-
8/6/2019 Anuj Final Report
