Flexi Zone Indoor Pico BTS Product Description Air Interface 6.3 Diversity 2-way receiver diversity is supported. Single receiver configuration is supported by both receivers in case of failure of one of the receivers. Single transmit configuration is supported in case of failure of one of the transmitters or antennas, allowing a transmit mode configuration of Tx Diversity (SIMO). 6.4 RF Output Power Transmit power maximum: 250 mW + 250mW • 24 dBm per branch • Transmit power can be configured in different steps from the maximum down to the transmit power defined for a LTE or WCDMA Local Area class: 250mW + 250mW • 24 dBm (supported commisioning values: from 17 dBm to 24 dBm, step of 1 dB) • 6.5 External RF Antennas Pico indoor variants primarily utilize internal antennas. External antennas are also supported but require additional hardware, as the Pico Indoor radio is not supplied with external antennas or antenna mounting. Guidelines for selecting external antennas Table 8 Flexi Zone Pico Indoor external antenna requirements / recommendations Parameter Requirement / Recommendations Type Application specific (primarily ceiling mount is... - Page 20 Air Interface Flexi Zone Indoor Pico BTS Product Description Maximum Personal Exposure (MPE) / Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) MPE certification testing was performed to determine the Minimum Safe Distance using external antennas with 5dBi gain for 1700 - 2700MHz. The antenna used for this certification was Pulse DASLTE500NFMIMO. Thus, if other external antennas are used, the gain should be equal to or lower than this antenna to maintain the same minimum safe distances specified. If higher gain antennas are used, the Minimum Safe Distance is increased. Please consult your local regulatory requirements. Please reference the actual Pico MPE/SAR reports for further details. Cabling Connection to the Pico SMA-F requires a SMA-M. Adapter cables are required. For best performance direct the antenna main beam away from the Pico. Nokia does not recommend directly attaching rubber-duck stick OMNI antennas directly to the Pico antenna outputs. This is due to the low isolation between the antennas for main and diversity that would result in degrading MIMO performance. To insure optimal performance, high quality low loss cable should be used while keeping the cable length to a minimum. Excessive cable lengths and low quality cable cause significant performance degradation. Lightning and surge protection For indoor use, Flexi Zone Pico does not require surge protection. If the antennas are remotely connected outdoors, then appropriate surge protection is required per the local regulations. Recommended antennas Nokia does not currently supply external antennas, but some examples for recommended antennas are: Galtronics Pear M4969i •...

Page 21: Synchronization
Timing over Packet according to IEEE 1588v2 • 7.1 GPS / GLONASS Instead of using the transport network for carrying the Primary Reference Clock (PRC) traceable synchronization reference, it is possible to use a distributed PRC architecture. In this case, every site in the network has a GPS-based or other synchronization source which provides a PRC traceable synchronization reference signal for RAN NEs. It is also possible to use a combination of distributed and hierarchical master-slave architecture. In some cases, other Network Elements (for example transmission nodes) at the same site provide the synchronization reference for RAN Network Elements through external synchronization interfaces. 7.1.1 Overall GPS / GLONASS Antenna RF Requirements Antenna Requirements The Nokia recommended GPS / GLONASS antennas meet all quality and field performance requirements along with criteria outlined in the table below and have proven quality with good field performance. While it is possible to use other antennas, considerable care must be exercised when selecting alternatives to ensure full BTS compatibility for all conditions. Table 9 Recommended GPS / GLONASS Antenna Specifications Requirement / Recommendations Gain +25 dB (recommended) Noise Figure <2.5 dB (recommended) Operating Frequency GPS: 1575.42 MHz with less than 3 dB attenuation at a +1.2 MHz offset from center (Required) -

Tracking -161 dBm Hot Acquisition -161 dBm GPS Sensitivity Cold Acquisition -147 dBm Reacquisition -161 dBm * - Values are valid at room temperature 25 C [77 F] External GPS Antennas Many different GPS antenna options are available for an outdoor GPS antenna. The guidelines in Table 9: Recommended GPS / GLONASS Antenna Specifications also apply to an external GPS/GLONASS receiver. The FlexiZone Micro GPS antenna (473100A) can suit this purpose. This antenna is designed to mount directly to the female N connector on the FZM so does not include a cable or mounting feature. A mounting bracket would be needed with a bulkhead female N connector then a long run of cable. If a deployment of a large number of FZPs is needed with remote GPS then the best solution would be a single GPS antenna and a distribution network. Care must be taken to insure the DC block is in place. This DC block can be a separate item or included in the distribution network. Distribution networks In the case of large indoor deployments of FZP units utilizing GPS/GLONASS it is better to use a single GPS antenna with a distribution network. This equipment is not supplied by Nokia as it is site specific, but can be used to overcome the losses incurred with long cable runs and multiple splits to accommodate separate feeds into each FZP. Care must be taken when selecting the proper distribution amplifier. The key requirements are as follows: Active GPS/GLONASS antenna bias: The amplifier must provide 5 VDC for the • active antenna. Port Impedance: All ports (IN/OUT) must be 50 ohms. • DN09210454 Issue: 01... -
Page 23: Rf Interference
• 32-port Rack mount: RMAL-DCB-S1X32-N/5/110 • These models include the DC Block on all output ports, provide the 5 VDC for the active antenna, utilize N type connections and are powered via 110 VAC. For other AC power options the “110” in the part number above can be replaced with either “220” or “240” depending on the available local power. If utilizing a distribution network insure that all grounding and surge suppression requirements are followed. 7.1.2 RF Interference While the BTS GPS receiver and recommended antennas provide a high level of out of band interference, rejection care needs to be taken to avoid placing the GPS antenna in the direct radiation path of cellular or other transmit antennas. To minimize interference potential the GPS antenna needs to be positioned at a different elevation and as far as possible from nearby transmit antennas. The graph presented in Figure 10: Maximum GPS Receiver Interference Power Level vs. Frequency can be used to identify the maximum interference source power levels presented at the GPS antenna surface (assuming that a Nokia recommended GPS antenna is in use and RF signal presented to the GPS receiver meets all level and noise figure requirements). Different interference rejection performance can be experienced with other (non-Nokia recommended) GPS antenna types or when the GPS receiver is not provided with the required (minimum or maximum) RF signal levels.

Page 24: Timing Over Packet
Synchronization Flexi Zone Indoor Pico BTS Product Description SyncE provides a high quality synchronization reference for base stations, comparable to SDH synchronization. The stability of the recovered frequency is independent of the network load or network impairments like delay variations. A co-located or another chained tail site can be synchronized with Synchronous Ethernet generation using SyncE. Both BTS Synchronous Ethernet and Timing over Packet features can be activated simultaneously. The features can be set individually as primary and secondary synchronization sources. When both SyncE and IEEE1588 ToP are feasible in the priority configuration, the selection of ToP or SyncE as primary or secondary references is a key point in the design of the synchronization network and depends very much on the characteristics of the mobile backhaul network being used to access the BTS. In addition, when Synchronous Ethernet Generation feature is activated, both SyncE and Timing over Packet can serve as an input for generating SyncE signal towards chained/collocated BTS. 7.3 Timing over Packet Timing over Packet (ToP) can be also considered as an example of master-slave architecture. The ToP master sends timing packets to ToP slaves. ToP slaves recover the timing reference from the received timing packets. The transport network between the ToP Master and the ToP Slave embedded in the BTS must fulfill certain engineering rules to guarantee proper operation of ToP as synchronization source such that the stability of the frequency for the air interface meets 3GPP requirements (+/-50ppb). These engineering rules are related to the treatment of the IEEE1588 ToP packets in the network and SLA values for Packet Loss and Packet Delay Variation. DN09210454 Issue: 01... -

Page 31: Transport
Flexi Zone Indoor Pico BTS Product Description Transport 9 Transport Transport protocol Flexi Zone Pico Indoor BTS uses IP/Ethernet as a standard transport protocol. A copper or wireline Ethernet is the standard interface in BTS units. When external transport solutions (such as wireless backhaul, GPON, etc.) are used, they communicate through the Ethernet connection on the BTS and the technology used is transparent to the BTS. Flexi Zone Pico Indoor versions supports the following network interfaces depending on the technology: • eNodeB to MME and Serving SAE Gateway with S1 interface – eNodeB to eNodeB with X2 interface – WCDMA • IUB (100/1000 BASE-T) – RJ45 (the physical transport interface configuration) – The physical transport interface configuration available is RJ45.

Page 32: Wi-Fi Coverage
Wi-Fi coverage Flexi Zone Indoor Pico BTS Product Description 10 Wi-Fi coverage This chapter describes optimal mounting location for a maximum Wi -Fi coverage. The location and orientation that you choose for the FZ Indoor Pico play a critical role in the performance of your wireless network. In general, it is recommended to install the module away from obstructions and sources of interference. Due to the design tradeoffs required to produce a small, low-cost product, a minor amount of sensitivity degradation is expected from the WiFi Tx under certain conditions and LTE/WiFi band combinations. Care should be taken during deployment to configure the WiFi network to use channels with as much frequency separation from the LTE band as possible. Care should also be taken to maximize the distance between WiFi and other unlicensed devices to the FZP in order to minimize the opportunity for interference and performance degradation. If interference is observed or suspected from other RF devices, Nokia recommends increasing the distance between the FZP and interfering device as much as possible to preserve FZP performance.

Page 34: Management And Software
11 Management and software The Flexi Zone Indoor Pico BTS can be managed remotely via NetAct. Auto-connection and auto-configuration start automatically when the Flexi Zone Indoor Pico BTS starts. Please make sure the backhaul connection to the Core Network is in place for this to succeed. It can also be managed locally through the RJ45 port or through a Bluetooth connection. The Bluetooth connection eliminates the need for a wired connection to the Flexi Zone Indoor Pico BTS when it is installed in a difficult to reach location. NetAct can be used to manage the Flexi Zone Indoor Pico BTS remotely. The Pico Indoor BTS utilizes an internal Bluetooth antenna. The useful range for Bluetooth is influenced by the installation and environment of the surroundings. If multiple WiFi Access Points are operating nearby, the range can be reduced as 2.4GHz WiFi operates in the same frequency spectrum. For maximum Bluetooth range a Class 1 dongle is required. Flexi Zone Indoor Pico BTS features an internal Bluetooth module which consists of an on-board Bluetooth transceiver. The transciever provides a 78 channel EDR 2.1 compliant Bluetooth interface used for remote MMI and maintenance operations. All required SW is loaded and installed onto the Flexi Zone Indoor Pico BTS Bluetooth Module as part of the overall Flexi Zone Indoor Pico BTS product software. Contact Nokia for additional details. The BTS automatically detects the SW version number, HW product code, version number and serial number during the start-up. This data can be retrieved remotely. The BTS controls its internal operation, ensuring that any malfunctions or loss-of-service is detected and reported to the network management. Software updates New SW versions can be downloaded while the BTS is in operation. Software can be uploaded to BTS either locally, with the BTS Site Manager, or remotely from NetAct. Site visits are therefore unnecessary for routine operation and maintenance (O&M) tasks. Typically, a local software download is done only when the NetAct connection is missing, for example, during the commissioning process. Software downloads can be run in the background of the BTS operation. The new software can be activated at any time. A reboot is required in order to activate the software. The BTS only uses downloadable software. All software can be downloaded and updated from NetAct. As the procedure is centralized, upgrading SW for several BTSs can be performed simultaneously or individually. The BTS keeps the current and previous software packages in its flash memory and can be updated at any moment. Updated software (current and previous) in the BTS can be seen through BTS Site Manager/NetAct.
