EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This document describes the new Ericsson RBS 6000 series being
implemented for the 3G Phase IV roll out in MTNN Ericsson regions.
This presentation amongst others helps to also identify Operations
and Maintenance challenges and extra equipment/tool requirements
that may be required to ensure proper adaptability on the existing
network .
It equally describes the modules that are different in the
RBS 6000 series cabinet, both for WCDMA and GSM, compared to
the RBS 3000 and RBS 2000 series cabinet

INTRODUCTION
RBS 6000 is a multi-standard RBS family that can be equipped with
virtually any combination of GSM, WCDMA and LTE, which are available
for any common frequencies to match different capacities and coverage
requirements.
RBS 6000 macro configurations are available in two different cabinets.
• RBS 6201 – Indoor macro
• RBS 6102 – Large outdoor macro

HARDWARE OPTIONS AND RADIO
CONFIGURATIONS
The solution that is being implemented on the MTNN network at the
comprises of one RBS 6201 macro indoor RBS in 3X1 radio configuration.
The cabinet’s layout is in four sections:
• Two radio shelves – combination of the Radio Units (RU) and Digital
Units (DU)
• Power shelf – PSU and PDU. The PSU is not implemented as existing
rectifiers and/or the hybrid power solutions are being used to power
the cabinets
• Transport shelf – for transport network equipment up to 4U high,
though not used in this solution.
• Enclosure – including climate system.
One radio shelf is equipped with 3X1 WCDMA, 2100MHz implemented in
three radio units. Maximum power (ARP) for each RU is 60Watts. The
power is licensed in steps of 20Watts using Hardware Activation Keys.
Each RU is capable of 40Watts/cell carrier with 60Watts hardware.

RBS 3000 SERIES
Besides the fact that the RBS 6000 series is a multi-standard RBS family while
RBS 3000 series is a WCDMA standard family, the cabinet comes with entirely all
new modules apart from the jumper cables and the antenna system.

 THE RADIO/FILTER UNIT
While the Radio Unit (RU) is separate from the Filter Unit (FU) in the RBS3000 series
they are fused into a singe unit referred to as the RUW (Radio Unit for WCDMA) in the
RBS 6000 series which performs the combined function of the RU and FU.
The RUW is a combined radio and filter unit containing a TRX board, power amplifier and
filter unit.

THE DIGITAL SUBRACK
As against the digital cassette of the RBS 3000 series which contain the CBU1,
RAX board, TX board and the RUIF board, all the baseband functions including 4E1
circuit termination capability on the CBU1 are now handled by a single unit
referred to as DUW (Digital Unit for WCDMA)

For GSM, RBS 6000 cabinet is the same as used for WCDMA. All the power and system
control units remain the same. The radio and digital units are however different (RUG –
Radio Unit for GSM and DUG – Digital Unit for GSM), though there is the multi-standard
units which can implement all standards within a common frequency band including GSM,
WCDMA and LTE (RUS – Radio Unit for Multi-Standard and DUG – Digital Unit for Multi-
Standard)
Radio Unit for GSM (RUG)
The RUG has the following functions:
Timing reference function by Local Timing Unit (LTU)

Maintenance Buttons
The maintenance button is located to the left of the symbol
The maintenance button has different states depending on how long time the button is pressed:
Full
maintenan
ce mode
When the DU is in "No maintenance" mode and the maintenance button is
pressed between 2 and 7 seconds, there will be a suppression of all traffic
and the DU will enter "Full maintenance" mode.
HW Reset
When the maintenance button is pressed for 7 seconds or more, the DU
restarts in "No maintenance" mode, "Full maintenance" mode, or "Removing
traffic" (a transient state between "No maintenance" mode and "Full
maintenance" mode), depending on the initial state.
No
maintenan
ce mode
When the DU is in "Full maintenance" mode and the maintenance button is
pressed a second time (for less than 7 seconds), the DU will go back to "No
maintenance" mode.
Note: Use a pointed object, for instance a screwdriver or a pencil tip, to press the
maintenance button.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
WCDMA
The RBS 6000 series cabinet contain fewer hardware modules. As such, support
for them becomes simpler. Besides the power and system monitoring modules, and
the cables, all the radio and digital modules have been compacted into just two –
the RUW and the DUW. All the power cables and accessory cables are also
different. The part numbers of all these modules are listed in later slide.
For site Operation and Maintenance for WCDMA, the RBS Element Manager
remains the same as the node is still on P7.1/W10. However, login in to the node are
now done through the LMT(Local Maintenance Terminal) A and B on the DUW.
 To log in through Hyper-terminal for usual hyper-terminal operations, connect
your straight cable to the LMTA, to the RJ45-Serial adapter, and then to your
system’s COM port, and launch hyper-terminal as usual. Hyper-terminal settings
remain the same
NOTE: the pin out configuration for the RJ45-Serial adapter is different. Find
the pin out in the next 2 slide.
 To log in through RBS Element Manager, connect your straight cable to the
LMTB, and to your system’s Ethernet port. Configure your system’s IP address to
be on the same LAN with cabinet and launch RBS Element manager the same way

GSM
The RBS 6000 series cabinet contain fewer hardware modules. As such, support
for them becomes simpler. Besides the PDU, SHU, SCU and SAU modules, which
are auxiliary modules, and the cables, the main modules in the cabinet are just the
RUG and DUG.
For site GSM on-site O&M, the OMT remains the same. Login in to the node is now
done through the LMT(Local Maintenance Terminal) B on the DUG which consists
of an RJ-45 connector.

21. CONCLUSION
As it has been highlighted, besides the hardware modules that come
in a new form in the RBS 6000 series, the Operation and Maintenance of
these cabinets are very similar to the RBS 3000 series, except for the
change in the required Pin Out configuration of the RJ45-Serial adapter. No
need for different or additional software/hardware tools as these cabinets
also run on the P7.1 software version and local login mode is still the same.
And for GSM, OMT login is the same software through the LMT B port on
the DUG, though it is now an RJ-45 connector as against the serial
connector on the RBS 2000 DXU
The hardware modules that are different can still be obtained through the
existing Spare Parts Management System.
