1 Introduction
This document provides the list of feature candidates for the LTE Radio Access System Release
FDD-LTE 19.
The scope of the document includes evolved NodeB (eNB) and Transmission. The LTE is
managed with the NetAct Operations Support System (OSS) and its interfaces with Packet
Switched (PS) Core Networks (CN) over the S1 interface. Operation Mediation Subsystem
(OMS) is used to aggregate O&M traffic and mediate data format towards the NetAct. OMS is
usually located at the NetAct.
The LTE Flexi Multiradio BTS functionality is implemented in compliance with the 3GPP
interface specification baseline Rel. 15 (12/2018) ASN.1 on top of Rel.14 (03/2018). There may
be changes to the final solutions due to the final release definition process and 3GPP's
standardization changes. This document covers only Nokia's LTE RAN level issues and the high
level dependencies for the Core Network, WCDMA, GSM system and Mobile Station support.
The Flexi Multiradio BTS functionality may not work if the support in one or multiple other
network elements, e.g. eNode Bs, UEs, MME, S-GW, eSMLC, MSC, BTS, Node B etc is not
provided. The UE dependency is outlined in the SW dependencies field ‘UE’. The other RAT
dependencies are outlined in the field ‘dependencies to other RATs’. The core network
dependencies to EPC are outlined in the fields ‘MME’ and ‘S-GW’.
In the fields ‘BTS Flexi’, ‘BTS Flexi 10’, ‘AirScale FDD’, ‘Flexi Zone Micro’, ‘FZC FDD’,
‘FZAP FDD’ support of the feature is indicated with release name; blank means not supported.
In the field ‘HW requirements’ it will be indicated if the feature requires additionally a specific
HW in RAN LTE portfolio. It is left blank if the feature describes a HW item itself or has no
specific requirements.
The Flexi Multiradio BTS and Flexi AirScale functionality may rely on the activation of other
eNode B features. This feature interdependency is outlined in the field ‘interdependencies
between Features’.
IOTs with other network elements, e.g. eNode Bs, MME, S-GW, eSMLC, MSC, BTS, Node B
etc., UEs or applications have to be conducted well in advance in order to ensure the
interoperability with other network elements on protocol level. Such testing need to be agreed
with Nokia IOT department according IOT standard process. 3GPP has not defined the
interworking of algorithms, i.e. KPI may depend on multi-vendor scenarios.
The actual performance of the feature in field will depend on several external factors e.g. radio
condition, antenna configuration, UE location, UE speed, cell load, transport network
dimensioning, etc.

3 BTS Site Solution
3.1.1 BTS Configurations with mixed centralized RFMs
Unique ID: 2944
Short Description:
BTS configurations with RFMs of different type in centralized installation
Benefits for the Customer:
Easy site extension and repair for phase out RFM types
Functional Description:
With this feature it will be allowed to use RFMs of different type in same cell set or BTS sub-
configuration for centralized deployment.
Centralized deployment for RFM covers following antenna configurations:
• H-type: two RFM 3Tx serving 3-sectors in 2Tx/2Rx
• K-type: two RFM 3Tx serving 3-sectors in 2Tx/4Rx
• V-type: four RFM 3Tx serving 3-sectors in 4Tx/4Rx
Additionally it shall be allowed as well to mix different RRH for configurations in which two
RRH 2Tx are feeding Tx and Rx to the same 4Rx cell:
• N-type: two RRH 2Tx serving one sector in 4Tx/4Rx
• Ka-type: two RRH 2Tx serving one sector in 2Tx/4Rx
With this feature only OBSAI based module can be mixed with another OBSAI radio. No
OBSAI/CPRI-N mixing allowed.
In case of mixed RFMs, all RFMs in cell set must provide the same number of Tx and Rx pipes.
In case of mixed RRH configurations, dual band RRH in single band operation are allowed to be
mixed with single band RRH.
Without that feature, all radio units that in above listed sub-configurations (call cell set) need to
be of the same type.
BTS installations with mixed RF unit types will fully comply to all specifications valid for the
older one of the RF units. All RF specifications defined for the installation with the older RF unit
type are applicable to the mixed RFM installation as well.
HW Requirements:
no specific HW requirements

3.1.4 AFAA AirScale PIM Cancellation Unit
Unique ID: 3685
Short Description:
PIM Cancellation mitigates performance degradation caused by intermodulation distortion of the
own transmitter signal generated in the passive antenna line. RRH integrated PIM cancellation
solution, does not provide solution for legacy networks and it does not cover air-generated PIM
signals so an external PIM Cancellation solution is needed. AFAA is a standalone outdoor
product.
Lower performance degradation in wide bandwidth deployments caused by intermodulation
distortion in the antenna line.
PIM cancellation enables to use antenna line solution with -145 ... -150 dBc PIM suppression
causing less than 3 dB sensitivity degradation in wideband deployments. Intermodulation
distortion gets worse due ageing and corrosion of the antenna line so its life time can be extended
with PIM cancellation.
AFAA provides solution to AIR PIM products that is not provided by PIM cancellation in the
radio unit based solution. AFAA provides PIM cancellation also to legacy sites in the wired
conducted path scenario as several radio unit configurations are supported.
PIM cancellation provides compensation of distortions falling into RX channel caused by
connectors/antenna/cabling/AIR (Passive InterModulation) components.
Mainly 2600/1900/1800/900/850/EU800/APT700/US700 bands suffer from receiver
desensitization/throughput degradation due PIM.

This feature introduces a new AFAA HW Unit which can be used either as a Fronthaul Switch or
as a PIM Cancellation Unit. LTE3685 itself includes only a basic Software support which
enables a connection between Airscale System Module and AFAA Unit. Usage of this device as
a Fronthaul Switch or as a PIM Cancellation Unit will require also other features to fulfill all
functionalities of these products.
Actual PIM cancellation functionality will be introduced via LTE4082 feature. Supported ePIMC
configurations are defined via separate features.
Passive InterModulation (PIM) is the unwanted signal or signals generated by the non-linear
mixing of 2 or more frequencies in a passive (or linear) device such as a connector or cable or it
can be generated in AIR where PIM sources are generated outside of conducted paths.
If those signals are falling on UL channel/s receiver performance becomes very poor. Broadband
radios suffer in UL from PIM in particular with MIMO and multicarrier radios.
PIM Cancellation in AFAA is based on a digital HW/SW algorithm in a Module located in the
CPRI/OBSAI interface between the Radio unit and System module. The PIM Cancellation
algorithm correlates transmitted signal with the received signal, detects the intermodulation
distortion components and removes them from the received signal. Intermodulation distortion of
the downlink signal generated either in the wired conducted path or over the air (outside
conducted path) shall be detected and cancelled. Several radio per antenna port architectures are
supported.
PIM cancellation for AFAA is activated/deactivated by an O&M message from System Module.
Feature will require a license activated by NetAct.

RF sharing solution based on Sync Hub Direct Forward (SHDF) solution where inter-system
module synchronization is done via 1PPS&ToD over dedicated sync cable. Temporary radio
master role for LTE is also introduced with this feature.
Operators can get lowest TCO site solution with RF sharing and at the same time be able to
exploit the great benefits of following phase and time sync dependent radio features: Dynamic
Frequency Carrier Allocation (DFCA) GSM, OTDOA, eICIC, eMBMS, etc.
Better reliability and availability of RF sharing site solution thanks to the holdover function and
the ability for radio slave to temporary take over radio master role, in case the previous radio
master has failed.
RF sharing is able to operate based on Sync Hub Direct Forward synchronization solution
without the need to use synchronization via RP3-01 interface. Transfer of phase/time
synchronization between system modules sharing a RF module shall be done with the use of
1PPS & ToD signals and interfaces. Use of 1PPS & ToD shall improve/keep availability of RF
sharing solutions (i.e. a radio slave can temporary take over radio master role, in case previous
radio master has failed). The ability to serve as head element of a Sync Hub Direct Forward
chain or as intermediate element shall be independent whether a BTS acts as radio master or
radio slave with a RF sharing configuration. The ability to serve as head element of a Sync Hub
Direct Forward chain or as intermediate element shall be independent of the RAT of a BTS.
The RP3-01 connection between system modules involved in RF sharing is still however
required to perform RF sharing topology scan to build a communication among RF sharing
elements.
RAN and BTS Site phase/time synchronization application scenarios shall be supported
concurrent and can be combined. Not all BTS at a site being part of a Sync Hub Direct Forward
configuration have to be part of the RF sharing setup.
When radio master fails, radio slave attempts to take over radio master role. When the
commissioned Radio master is back, the temporary radio master falls back to its commissioned
role of radio slave. Takeover of the radio master role by a radio slave is independent of the Sync
Hub master/slave role. If the radio slave is Sync Hub Slave it can rely on its own holdover
function.

When both thresholds for VSWR alarms (Minor, Major) are configured to the same and
maximum value, and the reflection of the signal in the TX path exceeds VSWR thresholds, the
proper alarm might be not reported and may cause HW damage. The problem is related to radio
modules which support “VSWR suppression”.

The customer can easily install OBSAI or Nokia-CPRI capable Radio Modules or RRHs in the
same baseband module (FSMF, FBBA, FBBC, FSIH, FBIH) of Flexi 10 System Module.
Flexi 10 System Module is defined as Flexi 10 FDD or Flexi 10 TDD or Flexi 10 Indoor TD-
LTE.
It is a generic feature allowing RRH/RFM units utilizing OBSAI or Nokia-CPRI of baseband
interface protocols to be connected to the same baseband module (FSMF, FBBA, FBBC, FSIH,
FBIH) of Flexi 10 System Module. However, supported customer radio site configurations are
defined in the separate/dedicated eNodeB configuration feature(s).
This feature is for the baseband module (FSMF, FBBA, FBBC, FSIH, FBIH) of Flexi 10 System
Module to automatically detect the connected protocol type (OBSAI or Nokia-CPRI) to any
optical port.
It permits the mixture of OBSAI and Nokia-CPRI protocol types within the same baseband
module (FSMF, FBBA, FBBC, FSIH, FBIH) of Flexi 10 System Module.
In every defined cell set for Flexi 10 System Module, it is possible to mix OBSAI and Nokia-
CPRI Radio Modules or RRHs on optical ports level of baseband module (FSMF, FBBA, FBBC,
FSIH, FBIH) of Flexi 10 System Module. Example: As initial situation, all RRHs connected to
Flexi 10 System Module (FSMF or FBBA or FBBC or FSIH or FBIH) are OBSAI type RRHs.
Then, after long operation time it might happen that randomly any OBSAI RRH fails. Thanks to
LTE4669 feature, the customer can use Nokia-CPRI RRH as replacement of faulty OBSAI RRH
(according to replacement list and supported configurations).
Supported fiber length between OBSAI or Nokia-CPRI Radio Modules or RRHs and baseband
module (FSMF, FBBA, FBBC, FSIH, FBIH) of Flexi 10 System Module is according to
LTE614 feature specification.
Note: LTE4669 does not support the mix of OBSAI Radio Units and Nokia-CPRI Radio Units in
the same RF chain.
The eNodeB startup time may be affected.

•For SuperCells according LTE1542 & LTE2091, any pair of normal cells 2Tx/2Rx on same
frequency can be combined to one SuperCell. Therefore we can support per packed cell set (=
BB pool) up to
o4 SuperCells 10 MHz; 3 SuperCells 20 MHz
-Mixture of SuperCells and normal cells inside one cell set is possible as well up to the max
number of supported cells with one SuperCell counts as two normal cells.
-As LTE2733 allows to move cells between the BB pools on same ABIA, the cell mapping to the
BB pool might differ from the pack cell set definition used in configuration specification.
-With feature LTE614 optical fiber length of up to 23km between System Module and radio unit
can be supported.
- Mapping of carriers to 3GPP frequency bands: Whenever RF modules support more than one
3GPP defined frequency band (due to partially overlapping band definitions), multiple carriers
on the same RF module can be inside the same or inside different frequency bands. This also
applies to true multi band RF modules.
- Each configuration defined for 2Tx/2Rx supports 2 x 2 MIMO and can be operated in 1 x 2
SIMO (1Tx/2Rx) as well. Each configuration defined for 4Tx/4Rx can be operated in either of
the following modes:
2 x 2 MIMO with 4 Rx diversity; 4 x 2 MIMO; 4 x 4 MIMO
