MC-TRX GSM only performances with all carriers at full power

MC-TRX provides flexibility for operators:

capacity: power distributed over a high number of carriers.
coverage: power focus on a low number of carriers, with higher power per carrier.

Easy implementation by SW adaptation from the OMC.

9130 BTS B11 MC-TRX Introduction & Hardware Description

An MC-TRX module provides a certain amount of physical output power. Its capability to distribute the total
output power to all carriers gives operators the highest flexibility to convert the radio transmitted power
to coverage or capacity, and this is done by SW adaptation only from the OMC.

Dynamic Power Allocation (1/2)

Because it is unlikely that all carriers of the MC-TRX will transmit with
maximum power simultaneously, the Dynamic Power Allocation
consists in allocating the unused power according to the needs to
other carriers with higher traffic load.
The value of additional powers depends on the number of TREs in the
MC-module.

Dynamic Power Allocation (2/2)

If the BTS transmission is not possible on all the TRXs of the MC
module at the required power levels for a given radio burst due to
the maximum emission power for the Power Amplifier being
exceeded, then a power reduction in the BTS shall be applied by
decreasing priority on:
The emission power of all the 8-PSK bursts shall be reduced by same
reduction factor (in %), except for the 8-PSK bursts to be transmitted with
the BCCH frequency
If the first step is not sufficient then the emission power of all the GMSK
power controlled channels shall be reduced by the same form factor (in %),
except for the GMSK bursts to be transmitted with the BCCH frequency.
If the two steps dont solve the situation, a last solution (as a
defense solution) consists in reducing the power of all the
remaining bursts by a same form factor (in %). This situation should
never happen in a properly configured network.

All Rights Reserved Alcatel-Lucent 2010

TRX Dynamic Power Saving

Already implemented in B10, the TRX Dynamic Power Saving
feature consists in switching off the Power Amplifier bias of a TRX as
soon as several consecutive timeslots are unused in DL on this TRX.
This feature allows a significant reduction of power consumption of
the BTS.
This feature is not directly applicable to MC-TRX modules, due to
the fact that for a given TS, significant power consumption gains can
only be reached if there is no DL transmission on all the TRXs of the
MC module.

All Rights Reserved Alcatel-Lucent 2010

9130 BTS B11 MC-TRX Introduction & Hardware Description

TRX Dynamic Power Saving

The TRX dynamic power saving feature (with some periods of complete switch-off of the PA bias of the
module) is not directly applicable on the TRXs of MC modules, due to the specific architecture of MC
modules.
For a given TS, due to the fact that significant power consumption gains can only be reached if there is no
DL transmission on all the TRXs of the MC module (on the same TS), the interest of the TRX dynamic power
saving feature within MC modules is limited.
As a consequence and to simplify, the TRX dynamic power saving feature is not directly applicable
to MC modules in B11. This feature will only be supported on the Single and TWIN TRM modules.

Power Consumption Efficiency Comparison of MC-TRX vs. TWIN TRX

The conventional approach via a single carrier power amplifier needs 4x45W = 180W of RF output power on
the module side to provide 4 GSM carriers in one sector. Due to the loss in the necessary wideband
combiner, the output at Top of Cabinet (ToC) is 4x16W = 64W of RF power in this sector.
To reach the same result, an MC-TRX needs 4x21W = 84W of RF output power on the module side. Because
there is no combining needed, the desired RF output power of 4x16W=64W is also reached at Top of
Cabinet.

Cell Frequancy Span

An MC-TRX covers a limited frequency bandwidth of 20 MHz called
MCPA frequency span (which is an HW capability) among:
35 MHz in GSM 900 MHz
75 MHz in GSM 1800 MHz

This bandwidth of 20 MHz is constant in an MC-TRX and can be shifted

within 35 or 75 MHz.

The whole set of TRXs of the same band and of the same cell will
not use a frequency window higher than the frequency span
reported by the BTS.

18

All Rights Reserved Alcatel-Lucent 2010

9130 BTS B11 MC-TRX Introduction & Hardware Description

The check of frequency span at the OMC is only done if the OMC knows if there is an MC-Module in a sector
mapped on the cell (and so, only after OMC/BTS HW audit). That means the cell exists and is already
mapped to a sector. In this case, the TRX has the RSL information. The test is done at cell level even in
case of cell shared, and if there is at least one MC-Module in one sector.
In B11, we support only so-called normal cell frequency span, i.e. the whole set of TRXs (of the same
band and of the same cell) use a frequency window smaller than the frequency span reported by the BTS.
The check itself is therefore quite simple:
1.

For the concerned band, look for the smallest frequency and for the highest frequency.

2.

Compute the difference between them and get the correspondence in MHz.

3.

Compare the result with the frequency span (also called PA RF BW) received in OMC/BTS HW audit.

The BTS has to check the Bandwidth per MC-module when it receives the radio configuration: if the
Bandwidth is larger than the MCPA frequency span (also called PA RF BW), the BTS sends an alarm to all
involved MC-modules.
