1 Introduction 1.1
Scope This document describes how to commission Flexi Multiradio/AirScale BTS LTE sites using the Commissioning wizard in the BTS Site Manager software. This document provides instructions on how to proceed with template commissioning when a commissioning file is available. NOTICE: Only properly trained and authorized personnel may perform installation, commissioning, or maintenance operations on any Nokia base transceiver station (BTS).
1.2
Requirements
1. Verify that the correct LTE Flexi BTS Site Manager is installed in PC. 2. Verify that all available data and work orders are available: •
HW work order named “Configuration xxxx.pdf
•
Transmission WO EIPCIxxx.xls”
•
Radio work order Rxxx.doc
•
Antenna files
3. Verify that you have all the needed documentation by installing NED libraries in PC 4. Verify that site is installed and that contact details for all people involved are known. Site Installer, RNC Engineer and Transmission Engineer have to be contacted.

2 Performing template commissioning 2.1
Purpose Template commissioning provides the option to commission an eNodeB using a given site commissioning file. This will significantly reduce the number of parameters that need to be configured as mainly only some site specific parameters need to be changed. All parameters needed to configure the BTS site are determined at the network planning stage. It is essential that the input values match the expected values in the network plan. Steps 1. Choose the View Commissioning menu item or click the Commissioning button on the View Bar. The Commissioning – Introduction page opens.
Commissioning - Introduction page with Template option selected 2. Select the commissioning target by clicking the option BTS site.
3. Select the Template option.
4. Select a commissioning file. You can browse for the commissioning file by selecting the Browse option. The supported file formats are XML and ZIP (including the XML format commissioning files). When you selected the BTS site option, select the appropriate ZIP file containing both the BTS and TRS commissioning files.
5. Click the Next button.

2.21 Defining concurrent mode settings In the Commissioning - Concurrent Mode Settings page you can set concurrent mode setting for Multiradio BTS (Airscale does not support this feature in FL16A). This page is shown when the HW configuration includes at least one radio module supporting concurrent technology 2G in LTE-2G sharing. The page is not shown in chained RF configurations because RF sharing is not supported in chained RF configurations. Note also that the page is not shown when HW configuration includes FSMD/E and radio module supporting 2G from RF interface 4 but does not include radio modules supporting 2G from other RF interfaces. Also the page is not shown when HW configuration includes FSMF and radio module supporting 2G from RF interface 6 but does not include radio modules supporting 2G from other RF interfaces.

2.22 Defining cell resources In the Commissioning - Cell Resources page, you can create local cells, and define antennas of the Radio Modules and carrier power to the local cells. Local Cell Resource (LCR) is a concept for defining all the hardware that a global cell requires in the base station. Local cells (LCELL) are then mapped to global cells (LNCEL) on the commissioning RNW page. The information is available within the HW Work order and the RR Data as it is presented below.
In case of 2x2 MIMO, use Dynamic Open Loop Mimo.

2.23 Defining LTE carriers In the Commissioning - LTE Carriers page, the LTE carrier frequencies are defined for local cells; those are assigned then automatically to global cells (LNCEL) and shown as read-only information on the commissioning Radio Network Configuration page. The allowed E-UTRAN Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (EARFCN) values for frequency bands are displayed below the Carrier candidate table. LTE carrier candidates are determined at the network planning stage. It is essential that the value input matches the expected value in the radio network plan. You should not select the values arbitrarily. The Equipment view displays the selected local cell and the Radio Module assigned to it as highlighted.
