 Product Overview

1 Product Overview

Indoor Connect 8855 enables vendor-agnostic, multi-operator support for the

Radio Dot System (RDS). Indoor Connect 8855 accepts RF signals from donor
base stations (either Ericsson or other suppliers), and delivers their RAN signal
(GSM, WCDMA, LTE, or NR) to an Ericsson RDS owned by an operator. The RAN
signals from the donor base stations are distributed along with the signals
originating in the Baseband Unit of an Ericsson Radio System (ERS) to the Radio
Dots of an ERS/RDS.

Indoor Connect 8855 allows multiple operators to serve UEs in the RF coverage
area on a shared, common in-building RDS network infrastructure including
IRUs, cabling and Dots. Indoor multi-operator networks are easily deployed and
managed with Indoor Connect 8855, enabling additional operators to plug in and
benefit from the coverage and capacity of the existing Radio Dot System.

Indoor Connect 8855 operates at the carrier level. Indoor Connect 8855 carriers
are currently limited to 100 MHz for NR TDD or 20 MHz for other technologies. A
maximum of 3 carriers per Donor RF interface (antenna branch) can be
configured on Indoor Connect 8855, to a maximum of 24 carrier branches per
Indoor Connect 8855.

All 24 carriers are able to route to any of the four CPRI interfaces. Indoor Connect
8855 can be connected to multiple IRUs, to a maximum of 4. The following rules
apply:

— All connected IRUs must be the same type.

— All connected IRUs must have the same carrier configuration.

— All Dots must be the same type on all connected IRUs.

Through carrier branch processing, the carrier data is split up, distributed, and
broadcast up to four (4) CPRI interfaces, using a 10.1 Gbps line rate, to the IRUs.
The CPRI signals to the IRU can come from both Indoor Connect 8855 and ERS
baseband unit.

Indoor Connect 8855 has 4 pairs of donor RF interfaces, with each pair consisting
of two donor RF interfaces. Each donor RF interface consists of two RF
connectors, one Downlink/Duplex and one Uplink.

14/1551-FGB 101 0308/1-V1 Uen B4D | 2022-02-25 1

 Product Overview

1.3 Limitations and Restrictions

— Subject to constraints on total power, IBW, and contiguous carrier placement
of the dual-band Dot 2272 B1B3 in the initial release.

— Indoor Connect 8855 does not support deployments with IRU cascading.

— For IRU 164x, Indoor Connect 8855 can only connect to CPRI 1 or 2 in this
release.

— Carrier aggregation of donor carriers is not supported in the initial release.

— Only 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz LTE FDD carriers are currently supported.

— Only 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz NR FDD carriers are supported.

— Only 5 MHz WCDMA carriers are supported.

— Individual GSM carriers are not configurable on Indoor Connect 8855. Indoor
Connect 8855 uses a 5 MHz LTE carrier as a container to support GSM
signals. GSM carriers must be configured within the center 4.5 MHz of a 5
MHz spectrum block, allowing frequency hopping within the allocated 4.5
MHz block.

— Only In-Band NB-IoT is supported. Indoor Connect 8855 does not currently
support Standalone or Guard band NB-IoT.

— Ericsson Spectrum Sharing (ESS) is not supported.

— Multi-Operator RAN using two Baseband units is not supported in the Indoor
Multi-Operator Solution with Indoor Connect 8855.

— CPRI faults over the Indoor Connect 8855-IRU interface that are detected by
the IRU are not reported.

— There is no support for Indoor Connect 8855 deployments in Ericsson Indoor

Planner (EIP) in the initial release.

— Indoor Connect 8855 RF DL/Duplex port supports a maximum 30 dBm input

power.

— Only trusted transport deployments are supported.

— The Baseband unit in the Indoor Multi-Operator Solution is the primary

controller of the IRUs. When the Baseband unit is not available, the IRU does
not provide service to Indoor Connect 8855 and the Donor Base station
signals are not radiated.

The following limitations and restrictions apply to NR TDD:

— Only 100 MHz NR TDD carriers are supported.

14/1551-FGB 101 0308/1-V1 Uen B4D | 2022-02-25 7

 Indoor Connect 8855 Description

— Only 30KHz Subcarrier Spacing (SCS) is supported by Indoor Connect 8855

for NR TDD.

— There are specific compatibility requirements for TDD patterns and special
slot patterns for the Primary Operator, Secondary Operator, and Indoor
Connect 8855. Only one type of TDD pattern is supported for all Indoor
Connect 8855 ports at any given time. Refer to Appendix C: NR TDD
Configuration Guidelines in Indoor Connect 8855 Operation and
Maintenance.

— The primary NR TDD carrier must be configured and enabled before the
donor carrier is configured. If there is a TDD carrier from the Primary
Operator, the TDD switch on the Dot follows the switch point of the carrier
from the Primary Operator. If the carrier from the Primary Operator is
blocked or crashes, the impact to the TDD carriers on Indoor Connect 8855
requires an IRU and/or Indoor Connect 8855 reboot. This limitation will be
lifted in a future release when 20-90 MHZ NR TDD carrier support is
introduced.

— Cell size must be greater than 21.3 km with 500 m fiber, or greater than 35.6
km if 10 km fiber is deployed.

On the Ericsson RBS, configuring the correct cell range is dependent on the
NR TDD pattern that is used:

• NR TDD Pattern 01, 03, 04: These patterns have 2 consecutive UL slots,
therefore Preamble format 0 can be used to enable the correct cell range.

• NR TDD Pattern 00 and 02: A short preamble format should be used, B4,
and the feature “extended PRACH” must be enabled on the Donor’s
Baseband to achieve the correct cell range settings.

1.4 Warranty Seal

The unit is equipped with a warranty seal sticker.

Note: Seals that have been implemented by Ericsson are not to be broken or
removed, as it otherwise voids warranty.

 Indoor Connect 8855 Description

4 Synchronization

Every unit in an Ericsson Radio System (ERS) must operate at a frequency that
has a fixed relationship to the reference frequency for the ERS. Indoor Connect
8855 uses a reference source combination, where one of the sources provides the
ToD and the other source provides phase or frequency. Indoor Connect 8855
obtains the ToD from an NTP server and receives a GPS signal source for
synchronization between CPRI and IRU.

Indoor Connect 8855 is expected to receive its time from an NTP server which is
the same as the time source for the Baseband unit (the IRU receives its time
information from the Baseband unit). The NTP server can be configured and the
synchronization status can be verified through the Indoor Connect 8855 Web
GUI.

Alternatively, the Primary Operator can execute the CLI ntpcfg and ntpstatus
commands to configure and verify NTP status.

— Indoor Connect 8855 derives its frequency reference from the uplink CPRI
from one IRU.

— All IRUs, which are connected to a Digital Unit (DU), are candidates to be the
frequency reference.

— Indoor Connect 8855 selects one and tunes to the same frequency as the
reference CPRI. At this point, all clocks domains are frequency locked.

Note: All of the IRUs connected to an Indoor Connect 8855 must trace
their reference clocks to the same source.

5.1 Indoor Connect 8855 External Alarm Port

Indoor Connect 8855 provides four alarm output signals that allow external
alarm monitoring equipment to monitor the state of the Indoor Connect 8855.
These alarms are propagated northbound to the Network Management System
from the Indoor Connect 8855 alarm port that is connected to a baseband or

The initial Indoor Connect 8855 release supports a Trusted Transport

configuration for OAM traffic as illustrated in the following graphic.

In a Trusted environment, connection to the Primary Operator’s network must be

through a venue switch or through a direct connection to the site router (in the
event the operator does not allow an IT switch in the path).

Secondary Operator access to Indoor Connect 8855 must be through an Indoor

Connect 8855 portal set up by the Primary Operator.

7 Network Impact

Indoor Connect 8855 does not have any impact on the Radio Access Network
(RAN). It does not have any impact on existing KPI values, load, capacity,
coverage, throughput, latency, handover time, counter values, or event intensity.

Indoor Connect 8855 makes use of any leftover RDS bandwidth and power to
carry Secondary Operator signals, and is, therefore, neutral with respect to the
case of a full capacity RDS deployment.

 Indoor Connect 8855 OAM

9 Indoor Connect 8855 OAM

Indoor Connect 8855 operates within an Ericsson RDS owned by a Primary

Operator. The Primary Operator retains full OAM control over the entire in-
building, multi-operator system and orchestrates the management of the Multi-
Operator deployment with Indoor Connect 8855 OAM tools and ERS/ENM.
Secondary Operators do not have access to ENM and are limited to read-only
access for most Indoor Connect 8855 OAM functions; therefore, they rely on the
Primary Operator for business support.

The Primary Operator must co-ordinate with the Secondary Operators who own
the Donor Base Stations. For example, the Primary Operator must ensure the
correct configuration of Primary and Donor carriers to avoid power and filter
branch resource exhaustion, manage all alarms for all operators, troubleshoot
any network issues on behalf of the Secondary Operators, and so on. A
Secondary Operator has limited access to most OAM functions (read-only
access), but can receive and query traps.

OAM of Indoor Connect 8855 is split between SNMP, Web GUI, CLI management,
and a customized, partial integration with ENM. ERS/RDS OAM is conducted
through Ericsson Network Manager (ENM). Information is passed between
Indoor Connect 8855 and IRU(s) through a client-server exchange. Indoor
Connect 8855 supports one connection for each CPRI onIndoor Connect 8855
(up to four CPRI connections to four IRUs).

 Indoor Connect 8855 Description

Indoor Connect 8855 OAM

Indoor Connect 8855 is expected to be integrated by the Primary and Secondary
Operators into their existing SNMP managers or local maintenance tool. Indoor
Connect 8855 also provides a Web GUI and CLI which allow operators to
manage Indoor Connect 8855 directly. Indoor Connect 8855 Fault Management,
Software Management, and Backup and Restore can also be managed through a
customized solution for Ericsson Network Manager (ENM). Indoor Connect 8855
OAM interfaces support remote and local access. Remote access is through the
Ethernet RJ45 management port on Indoor Connect 8855 and local access is via
the local craft access port (USB-C) with a direct serial cable connection from a
PC. Local access is typically disabled after commissioning.

Indoor Connect 8855 OAM functionality extends to the following areas:

an OSS platform and a suite of Network Management applications supporting
operation and maintenance of Ericsson Radio, Transport, and Core networks.
ENM is the single management interface to Ericsson network elements, and
supports all the OAM functions required to manage an Ericsson network
deployment.

Note: With a Multi-Operator deployment that includes Indoor Connect 8855,

the Primary Operator must additionally account for the administration
and management of Indoor Connect 8855, through SNMP, Indoor
Connect 8855 GUI, or CLI, on behalf of the Secondary Operators that
own the donor stations.
