    INTRODUCTION

    A cell site or cell tower is a cellular telephone

    site where antennae and electronic

    communications equipment are placed, usually on

    a radio mast, tower or other high place, to create a

    cell (or adjacent cells) in a cellular network.

    GLOBAL SYSTEM FOR MOBILE

    COMMUNICATION

    GSM is a standard developed by the European Telecommunications Standards

    Institute (ETSI) to describe protocols for second-generation (2G) digital cellularnetworks used by mobile phones. As of 2014 it has become the default globalstandard for mobile communications - with over 90% market share, operating inover 219 countries and territories.

    2G networks developed as a replacement for first generation (1G) analogcellular networks, and the GSM standard originally described a digital, circuit-switched network optimized for full duplex voice telephony. This expandedover time to include data communications, first by circuit-switched transport,then by packet data transport via GPRS (General Packet Radio Services)and EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution or EGPRS).

    Subsequently, the 3GPP developed third-generation (3G) UMTS standardsfollowed by fourth-generation (4G) LTE Advanced standards, which do notform part of the ETSI GSM standard.

    MOBILE STATION (MS)A Mobile Station consists of two main elements:The mobile equipment or terminal.

    There are different types of terminals distinguished principally by their power and application:The `fixed' terminals are the ones installed in cars. Their maximum allowed output power is 20W.

    The GSM portable terminals can also be installed in vehicles. Their maximum allowed outputpower is 8W.

    The handhels terminals have experienced the biggest success thanks to the weight and volume,which are continuously decreasing. These terminals can emit up to 2 W. The evolution oftechnologies allows to decrease the maximum allowed power to 0.8 W.

    The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM).

    The SIM is a smart card that identifies the terminal. By inserting the SIM card into the terminal,

    the user can have access to all the subscribed services. Without the SIM card, the terminal

    is not operational. SIM has microprocessor and memory, IMSI,

    Authentication Key, Ki

    Security Algorithms:kc,A3,A8 PIN & PUK

    Function of MS:

    Voice and data transmission & receipt

    Frequency and time synchronization

    Monitoring of power and signal quality of the surrounding cells

    Provision of location updates even during inactive state

    THE BASE STATION SUBSYSTEM (BSS)

    The BSS connects the Mobile Station and the NSS. It is in

    charge of the transmission and reception. The BSS can bedivided into two parts:

    The Base Transceiver Station (BTS) or Base Station.

    The BTS corresponds to the transceivers and antennas used

    in each cell of the network. A BTS is usually placed in thecenter of a cell. Its transmitting power defines the size of acell. Each BTS has between one and sixteen transceiversdepending on the density of users in the cell.

    The Base Station Controller (BSC).

    The BSC controls a group of BTS and manages their radioresources (up to 100 BTSs). A BSC is principally in chargeof handovers, frequency hopping, exchange functions andcontrol of the radio frequency power levels of the BTSs .

    BASE TRANSCEIVER STATION (BTS) OR

    BASE STATION (BS)

    Provides the radio links with the mobile station & BSC

    RF resources such as frequency assignments, sector separation, transmit

    power control

    BTS connects to BSC through un-channelized T1 facilities or direct cables in

    co-located equipment (Abis)

    The protocols are proprietary and are based on High-level data link control (HDLC)

    Typically terminates the IS-2000 LAC/MAC protocols for common channels,

    although in some implementations such protocols are terminated at the BSC

    In case of dedicated channels, the BTS exchanges physical layer frames with

    the BSC over Abis interface

    Typically equated to the physical site of the wireless network where antennas

    are located

    3-cell BTS configuration is most common (max. up to 6 cell BTS)

    OPERATION RANGE OF CELL TOWER

    Height of antenna over surrounding terrain (Line-of-sight

    propagation). The frequency of signal in use.

    Timing limitations in some technologies (e.g., GSM is limited to35 km, with 70 km being possible with special equipment)

    The transmitter's rated power.

    The required uplink/downlink data rate of the subscriber's device. The directional characteristics of the site antenna array.

    Reflection and absorption of radio energy by buildings orvegetation.

    It may also be limited by local geographical or regulatory factorsand weather conditions.

    GSM, have a fixed maximum range of 35 kilometers (22 mi)

    CDMA and IDEN have no built-in limit, but it is possible to getbetween 50 to 70 km (3045 miles)

    BTS FUNCTION ARCHITECTURE

  • 7/23/2019 Celltowerantennas 141213082821 Conversion Gate01

    16/32

    CONT

    BTS has three levels;

    a) Antenna coupling level (ANC)

    b) Trans receiver level (TRX)

    c) Base station control function level (BSF)

    BTS is also referred to as the radio base

    station(RBS), node B(in 3G Networks) or, simply,the base station (BS). For discussion of the

    LTE standard the abbreviation eNB for evolved

    node B is widely used.

    17/32

    GENERAL ARCHITECTURE OF BTSA BTS in has the following parts:

    Transceiver (TRX)Quite widely referred to as the driver receiver (DRX), DRXare either in form of single (sTRU), double(dTRU) or a composite double radiounit (DRU). It basically does transmission and reception of signals. It also doessending and reception of signals to and from higher network entities (likethe base station controller in mobile telephony).

    Power amplifier (PA)Amplifies the signal from DRX for transmission throughantenna; may be integrated with DRX.

    CombinerCombines feeds from several DRXs so that they could be sent outthrough a single antenna. Allows for a reduction in the number of antenna used.

    DuplexerFor separating sending and receiving signals to/from antenna. Doessending and receiving signals through the same antenna ports (cables to antenna).

    AntennaThis is the structure that the BTS lies underneath; it can be installed asit is or disguised in some way (Concealed cell sites).

    Alarm extension systemCollects working status alarms of various units in theBTS and extends them to operations and maintenance (O&M) monitoringstations.

    Control functionControls and manages the various units of BTS, including anysoftware. On-the-spot configurations, status changes, software upgrades, etc. aredone through the control function.

    ANTENNA COUPLING LEVEL (ANC)

    It is the stage between antenna & TRX.

    A single module called ANC performs function up to 4RTXs.

    For higher capacity a COMBINER stage can be added.

    19/32

    TRANS RECEIVER LEVEL (TRX)

    Trans-receiver equipment.

    Used for reception & transmission of RF signal.

    The Absolute Radio frequency channel number

    (ARFCN) is allotted to one TRX & each ARFCNis divided in 8 time slots, hence one TRX can

    provide connection to 8 subscribers at a time.

    One BTS= 12TRX= 12 ARFCN= 12*8 =96 Users

    So at a time only 96 users can make calls.

    BASE STATION CONTROL FUNCTION

    LEVEL (BSF)

    This station is ensured by station Unit Module (SUMA):

    central unit of BTS.

    Only one SUMA for one BTS.

    Generally clocks for all other BTS module for

    synchronization purposes. Ex: Abis link

    The tilt represents the inclination or

    angle of the antenna to its axis. Electrical tilt is used for increasing or

    decreasing of Beam radiation.

    LONG TERM EVOLUTION (LTE)

    Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the world's leading 4G cellular

    network technology.

    LTE's high data rates and low latency enable applications such as

    streaming HD video, high definition Voice over LTE (VoLTE),

    broadcasting, and public safety emergency response.

    Bandwidths ranging from 1.4 MHz to 20 MHz.

    This makes LTE a natural upgrade path for carriers with both

    GSM/UMTS and CDMA2000 networks.

    Bands currently in use range from 450 MHz to 2700 MHz, with

    bands as high as 3.5 GHz.

    LTE MIMO antennas must be carefully designed in order to get

    the full benefit of MIMO technology.
