4 RRH60 regulatory information

This part provides the regulatory information concerning the 9341 RRH60. It covers the following
items:
• European regulatory requirement compliance
• compliances for other regions/countries
• operation conditions
• cable specifications
• product labelling
European regulatory requirement compliance

The 9341 RRH60 falls under the requirements of the Radio and Telecom Terminal Equipment
(RTTE) European directive 1999/5/EEC. The RTTE directive covers requirements in the following
areas:
• protection of the Health and Safety of users and all other persons, including objectives with
respect to safety requirements contained in the Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC)
• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) protection requirements contained in Directive 89/336/EEC.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, it can interfere with radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interferences do not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on. The user is encouraged to correct any
interference problems.
EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus
in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. Compatibility levels, however, do not
cover extreme cases that can occur in any location, but that have a low probability of occurrence.
In particular, they may not cover cases where a source of interference that is producing repeated
transient or continuous phenomena is permanently present. This could include, for example, a
radar or broadcast site in the near vicinity. In these cases, it may be necessary to limit the source
of interference, and/or apply special protection to the interfered part.
Note: For operation or maintenance inside Alcatel-Lucent systems, the operator must always
wear the antistatic wrist strap to maintain the integrity of the product.
• effective use of the Radio spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio communication and orbital
resources to avoid interference. The routes and standards used to demonstrate compliance with
these requirements are outlined in the following paragraphs.
— Node B EMC
Compliance with essential EMC requirements was demonstrated using EN301489-1 & -23.

6 RRH60 basic characteristics

This part describes the basic characteristics of the 9341 RRH60.

22
6.1 RRH60 introduction

The Alcatel-Lucent 9341 RRH60 solution is based on the remote RF block concept, and involves two
sites:
• the centralized Node B site
• the remote RRH site
In the RRH60 solution, the transceiver, power amplifier, and filter functions are located as close as
possible to the antennas, on the remote RRH site, far away (500 m to 20 km) from a main Node B
cabinet located on the centralized Node B site. The remote RF part interfaces with the digital rack of
main Node B cabinet via an optical fiber link.
The RRH60 solution provides operators with a suitable solution whatever the site constraints. It is
particularly suitable for macro-cellular application in dense areas, where site acquisition is difficult,
and on sites where installation constraints prevent the use of regular full size macro Node Bs (9311
Macro OD or 9311 Macro ID).
The RRH60 solution is compliant with the Common Protocol Radio Interface (CPRI).
The RRH60 operates within the following bandwidths:
• 2100 MHz (RRH60-21)
• 1900 MHz (RRH60-19)
• 900 MHz (RRH60-09)
• 850 MHz (RRH60-08)
An RRH60 delivers 60W nominal composite RF power at antenna port, and can support up to four
contiguous frequency carriers:
• 60W x 1 frequency carrier
• 30W x 2 frequency carriers
• 20W x 3 frequency carriers (only RRH60-21 and RRH60-19, since UA06.0)
• 15W x 4 frequency carriers (only RRH60-21, in a future release)
Overview of the RRH60 solution

The RRH60 family consists of single-sector self-contained radio modules designed to be connected
to the following Node B cabinets via an optical fiber link:
• 9326 d2U V2 Phase 2
• 9396 d2U (with RRH60-19/RRH60-08)
The RRH60 family includes the following variants:
• RRH60-21 SM (see note below)
• RRH60-21 MM

23
• RRH60-19 SM
• RRH60-19 MM
• RRH60-09 SM
• RRH60-09 MM
• RRH60-08 SM
• RRH60-08 MM
Note:
SM stands for Single-Mode optical fiber: a single fiber is used for both uplink and downlink signals.
MM stands for Multi-Mode dual optical fibers: one fiber is used for downlink signals, another is
used for uplink signals.
The RRH60 solution is based on the following hardware components:
• RRH60s located on the remote RRH site
• an optical module housed in a digital Node B (9326 d2U V2/9396 d2U) located on the centralized
Node B site. See Node B/RRH60 configurations for detailed information.
These two components are linked by optical fibers carrying UMTS downlink and uplink (main and
diversity) base-band digital signals and OAM information.
The following figure illustrates the RRH60 solution.

24
Figure 3 RRH60 solution with 9326 d2U V2 or 9396 d2U
Note: Up to six RRH60s can be connected to a 9326 d2U V2 Phase 2.

As for traditional Macro Node B sites, the RRH60 combined with a 9326 d2U V2/9396 d2U Node B,
delivers high UMTS radio performances and supports the enhanced High Speed Downlink Packet
Access (HSDPA) and High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) solutions through easy software
upgrade.

Note: The RRH60-08 is on the left.
Benefits of the RRH60 solution

Compared to full size macro Node Bs, the RRH60 solution provides the following main benefits:
• easier site acquisition and installation, due to:
— small footprint
— low weight
• significantly reduced RF losses in uplink/downlink as optical fibers replace coaxial feeders
• reduced power consumption and increased efficiency as the RRH60 can be located closer to the
antenna

27
• reduced acoustic noise, due to natural convection cooling

• longer battery backup time
• reduced maintenance requirements

28
6.2 RRH60 features and functions

The RRH60 supports the following functions:
• radio access and modem
• optical access
• configuration, supervision, alarm and failure monitoring
• part of call processing
Radio access and modem

The radio functions are the following:
• up-sampling, frequency up-conversion, amplification, and filtering
• filtering, low noise amplification, frequency down-conversion and down-sampling
The modem functions are the following:
• channel coding, modulation, summing and filtering
• filtering, demodulation and channel decoding
Optical access
This function provides duplex optical communication towards the Node B site through optical fibers
using Single-Mode or Multi-Mode propagation:
• in Single-Mode propagation, one fiber carries both downlink and uplink signals using Coarse
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM)
• in Multi-Mode propagation, one fiber carries the downlink signal, and another fiber carries the
uplink signal
Configuration/supervision
This function is in charge of configuring and supervising the modules as well as ensuring inventory
information reporting. The remote inventory functionality allows the UMTS OAM access to determine
the state of the RRH60.
Call processing
The call processing function is in charge of radio resource management inside the base station
equipment.
Call processing manages:
• UMTS services as described in 3GPP standards
• internal configuration and implementation services
The call processing function is also in charge of:

29
• channel setup and management for both common and dedicated channels
• cell management, power control, handover, and measurement processing

30
6.3 RRH60 external interfaces

The RRH60 is equipped with four main types of external interface:
• optical interface

8 Node B/RRH60 configurations

The Alcatel-Lucent 9341 RRH60 solution involves the following hardware components:
• RRH60s on the remote site
• an optical module on the Node B site
Implementation of the RRH60 solution

The implementation of the RRH60 solution in UA07.0 allows to connect, in star configuration,
a maximum of six RRH60s to a d2U V2 Node B. Each RRH60 provides service to a single
sector, which supports either a single-cell or a twin-cell configuration, allowing a maximum of
two managed cells per RRH60. As a result, a maximum of twelve remote cells can be
provisioned with six RRH60s.
In a future release, more cells will be provisioned by daisy-chaining three RRH60s to a single fiber
link coming from the Node B.
Node B hardware requirements for RRH60 support

The following Node Bs are programmed to support RRH60s:
• 9326 d2U V2 Phase 2
• 9396 d2U (with RRH60-19/RRH60-08)
The following optical modules can be housed in a digital Node B connected to RRH60s.

9.1 Dual Duplexer Sharing Module (DDSM)

The DDSM is part of an antenna sharing solution which consists in reusing a GSM antenna
system (antennas + feeders + TMA) when combining a UMTS 900 Node B (here, a 9341
RRH60) with a GSM 900 BTS (9100 MBI or 9100 MBO).
The DDSM (PEC: NTUM40MA) operates within the 900 bandwidth (DDSM 900):
• 925-960 MHz in downlink
• 880-915 MHz in uplink
Main functions
The DDSM is made of one Transmit (Tx) filter and two Receive (Rx) filters.
The DDSM is inserted on the antenna diversity path.
Note: It can only be used when the antenna diversity path is not used for GSM Tx path.
On the Tx path, the downlink signal is distributed through the DDSM, from the Node B IN port to
the Antenna OUT port.
On the Rx path, the uplink signal is distributed in two ways:
• through the DDSM (from the Antenna OUT port to the Rx OUT port) and then through the
GSM Rx Div path
Note: There is a DC path between the Antenna OUT port and the Rx OUT port to
support a GSM TMA.
• through the GSM Rx Main path, and then through the DDSM (from the Rx IN port to the
Node B IN port)
