1. Introduction This document captures work instructions for building, installing and commissioning of a Nokia LTE FDD Dual band LTE700/LTE2600 eNB (L7/L26) under RL70 software line. RL70 introduces concepts of the extended cell set and the basic cell set. Based on the fibre connectivity, DSP resource utilisation is optimised and certain features can be enabled per frequency layer, based on which local cell sets cells are grouped into. Most natural division is to group cells based on the frequency layer. The new configurations are possible based on FBBC card having all 4 optical ports activated. New cell grouping with relevant fibre cabling between RRUs and Baseband cards, as well as additional ports on FBBC allow us to standardise the builds and introduce new configurations that were not supported under RL60. At the same time all RL60 configs will be reviewed and build work instructions (WI) will be updated based on full NTI as well as lab trials. Several different configurations are targeted as the options for deployment, depending on the required number of RRUs per site. This documents aims to describe at first only subset of the configurations that will be fully tested in the NOCR process. Eventually, all lower priority configurations will be added based on lab test results only, as it is understood that Nokia extended and basic cell rules allow to support multiple different configurations as long as the LCR rules are followed. The specific designs are still in the planning stages based on the vendor hardware and software deliverables. Each of the proposed designs is intended for Optus lab validation. Site design needs to consider the following factors: 

 



Software Dependencies o RL50 o RL60 o RL70 o NetAct 15.5  EP1  EP2 Hardware Dependencies o FBBC Feature Support o 4 Way Receive Diversity o 4Tx/4Rx o Carrier Aggregation o Future expansion to 3 Band Carrier Aggregation o UL CoMP Module utilisation o Stacked builds (one or two RF modules supporting 3 sectors) o Distributed builds (one RF module supporting one sector)

Based on the above requirements, several revisions of this document are expected with configurations being validated in the lab in line with vendor roadmap milestones being achieved. 1.1.1 NTI schedule Field NTI for RL70 configurations is yet to be confirmed. Nokia recommends new fibre arrangements going forward to ensure all relevant features can be supported and site design is standardised under RL70 program and SW releases. 1.1.2 Configuration prioritisation Preferred builds for L26 are distributed 2T4R (leading at later stage to 4T4R). Wherever possible, L7 should also utilise 4Rx diversity. Matching the most commonly used site deployments the following priority is proposed to be followed in the lab testing and full NOCR.

5. Pre-requisites A number of pre-requisites needs to be considered for the existing L7 site build when uplifting to dual band L7/L26 configuration. Same applies also to out-of-the-box (Greenfield) deployment of a dual band site. This document intends to cover the key aspects of flexi site build and commissioning. A number of relevant procedures and constructs related to the site build are already covered in separate documentation and might still

Page| 8

be modified. The list of pre-checks and pre-requisites discussed in this section should be used as a checklist for the pre-existing configuration that is required for the site uplift as well as new install. 5.1

ANTENNA LINE DESIGN

Antenna line design needs to be in line with eJV approved standards. The latest guideline for eJV RF design can be found in the following shared drive: http://ecm.optus.com.au/livelink/livelink.exe?func=ll&objId=35948653&objAction=browse&viewType=1 If during the site survey it is found that one or more antenna line components does not meet the expected standard the project manager needs to be contacted for clarification on the scope of work. The following checks are recommended: 1.

Antenna type. Existing or planned antennas determine site capability in terms of RX diversity support: i. 10 port – Argus RV4PX – usually provide support for 4 Rx on L26 but only 2 Rx on L7 ii. 12 port – Argus R2V4PX – support for 4Rx on L26 and L7 iii. Other shared antennas – confirm with the plumbing diagrams for supported Rx diversity design. Important: During new installs the target diversity scheme should be in line with the maximum allowable in the particular system. For example where 4 low band ports are available for Optus it is advised to use 4R plumbing, even if initially site is expected to be configured for 2R only. This is to ensure that maximum system capacity is used and to avoid unnecessary site visits in terms of future upgrades.

2.

3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Important: Correct polarity of the TX and RX ports needs to be observed. The mirrored scheme needs to be maintained for 4T or 4R pipes to assure MIMO utilisation is maintained at maximum. Number of the Nokia Flexi RF modules for both frequency layers. The number of RF hardware modules required for each individual build is detailed in the next chapters. Existing or planned RF module positioning (distributed, rooftop/top of a mast build versus stacked/in shelter/monopole build) Required TX/RX diversity scheme. Existing or planned solution for L26 and L7 needs to be considered in line with point 1 and planned RF plumbing. Antenna line devices: MHA and RET. The MHA and RET installation instructions are captured in appendix 2.9 (see external appendix list documentation). U900 Design. L700 layer will be installed in conjunction with existing or planned U900 design. Refer to relevant plumbing diagram for details.

5.1.1 RF modules indexing In RL70 a new convention for RF units connected to the BB extension cards is devised to accommodate for 4 ports on FBBC: FRxx a. b. c. d

Module type e.g. FRPA System module number

BB ext card number

Nr of RF units in the chain

Opt Port number

FSMF has 4 optical ports numbered 1,2,3 and 6 (port 6 can be also used as a native optical Tx port) FBBC has 4 optical ports numbered 1,2,3 and 4 (port 3 has some special uses)

For example:

Confidential


Page| 9

FXEB 1.1.1 is an RF unit that has its primary optical link connected to the FSMF system module, optical port 1 and there is only 1 RF unit in the chain. FRPA 1.1.1.1 is an RF unit that has its primary optical link connected to the first BB extension card that lives under first (and only in this example) FSMF; first optical port on the BB extension card is used and there is only 1 RF unit in the chain FRHF 1.2.2.1 is an RF unit that has its primary optical link connected to the second BB extension card that lives under first (and only in this example) FSMF; second optical port on the BB extension card is used and there is only 1 RF unit in the chain This document at times also refers to FXEB1 or FXEB2 – based purely on the logical connectivity. FXEB1 would typically be displayed in the BTS site manager as FXEB 1.1.1 and FXEB2 as 1.3.1 (stacked configuration where 2 RP links are used per each L18 RF module). Similarly in distributed build these would in fact be FXEB 1.1.1 and FXEB 1.2.1.

5.2

FLEXI BASEBAND REQUIREMENTS

In general, a number of possible combinations of Nokia Flexi Baseband modules are supported in a build; all depending on the number of RF modules, Tx/Rx diversity scheme employed on a particular site and pre-existing system module solution on site. In the interest of simplicity, as well as futureproofing the site for future feature deployment, in greenfield deployment it is highly recommended to use only FSMF with 2xFBBC cards. When possible, pre-existing FBBAs will have to be swapped for FBBC cards. FSMF FBBA+FBBC is also allowed But 2xFBBA is not supported by Nokia and any site already built with that combination should have both FBBAs swapped for FBBC. BTS site manager view would display the required convention as:

(Note that there is a change in the indexing of the BB extension cards indexing. In RL60 FSMF, FBBA and FBBC would be indexed as individual DSP cards from 1 to 3. In RL70 FSMF has its own index and BB extension card will have individual indexing 1 and 2). Actual HW connectivity: Connect the 3 way power cable from the DC out port on the FSMF core to the DC in port on the FBBC1 front panel. The second DC in connector needs to be connected to FBBC2 DC In port.

For the purpose of this documentation a convention referring to the physical card index (rather than logical baseband resource index) will be used (first column from the table below). This convention is preferred from the installation perspective as it in line with the numbering of BB Ext ports.

TRANSMISSION REQUIREMENTS

With additional RF modules required for dual band build the OBSAI ports of the BBU are under heavy demand. It is therefore advised to use only electrical transmission links using FSMF’s dedicated electrical transmission port EIF1. 1000Base-T Ethernet cat6 cable is recommended. It is known that electrical SFPs do not support SyncE. If the first hop in the transmission chain requires use of the electrical SFP please follow the guidance below: 

When ATN is present on site:

Option 1 ATN on-site – Use native ATN Electrical port to provide SyncE for Nokia BTS

Confidential




Page| 11

When X1 is the first hop

Option 1 : Use TP5000 if you don’t have ATN with Electrical SFP on X1 Option 2: Install ATN : SyncE is available via native RJ45 ports Option 3: Use Optical SFP on X1 to provide SyncE (Huawei BS only)

Note that FTIF transmission sub-module is not going to be used on the dual band sites.

For all builds the following is recommended: Connect Transmission link to native electrical EIF1 Port on FSMF unit.

5.3.1 Transmission dimensioning Tx capacity needs to be provisioned for the maximum possible over the air transfer rates on user plane plus signalling. L7+L26 carrier aggregation pair per sector can possibly deliver up to 230Mbps in downlink data rate. If the existing L7 site is being upgraded to a dualband design Tx capacity will likely require an upgrade.

5.4

DC POWER

Power distribution sub-module FPFD is recommended to provide DC power for the in-shelter RF units, situated in the proximity of the Flexi System Module. Separate power solution and breakers will have to be provided for the rooftop/remoted RF units, or if the number of RF units exceeds 4.

5.5

OBSAI LINKS FIBRE REQUIREMENTS

It has been agreed that for in shelter L7 install multi-mode (MM) OBSAI links will be deployed. The following items are added to the BOM to accommodate for OBSAI links to L7 RF modules:

Nokia code

Item

472579A

FOSH Optical SFP H 850nm 6G 300m MM

471743A

FSFD Flexi System Fibre D 4m

472894A

FSFL MM fibre 90-90 2m

The L26 connections as well as possible remoted L7 installs are still to use Single mode FOSI SFPs with SM fibre.

Confidential


Page| 12

FOSH – 6Gbps, MM SFP is to be used in all connections in shelter, between system module and radio modules and the connecting fibre needs to be a multi-mode fibre. Use of FOSI – 6Gbps, SM SFP is optional on much longer fibre runs, typical in distributed builds. Some of the pre-existing L26 sites that use FXEA will be using FOSA or FOSG (3Gbps single mode and 3Gbps multi-mode SFPs).

Note that the following recommendations apply: SFP modules Please be sure that only Nokia qualified SFP modules are installed. If 3Gbit links and 6Gbit links are used in the same FSMF, ensure that the same type and the same make of the SFP is used on both ends of relevant OBSAI link.

Fibre cabling to radio module The parallel fibres to radio module shall be in same cable. This ensures that both fibres are same length and the system works. The system now allows max. 5 meters length difference between main and secondary fibres.

5.6

BTS AND ELEMENT MANAGER SOFTWARE

Ensure you have the BTS SW Element Manager installed as BTS SW as per section 2. You may get the following error if you have a BTS EM version that is later than the SW installed on the BTS, this should not pose any problems. The issues only arise when the BTS EM version is older than the active BTS SW

5.7

RRU AND BASEBAND UNIT CONNECTIVITY

RL70 software release introduces a concept of Extended and Basic Cell sets. This aspect of the site design is intended to simplify hardware configuration support process and enable a number of new configuration variants. The local set concept introduces a strict requirement for the fibre connectivity between baseband module and radio units. Distribution of baseband resources depends on the fibre design and if this is not followed as per instructions provided herewith particular site functionality will be compromised. Note: Fibre design is critical to particular site configuration and cannot be modified. In previous releases transparent fibre assignment was supported and it still is in RL70 but it will limit the usage of certain features. As such build contractors need to pay extra attention to system module <-> RRU connectivity. The Extended and Basic cell design aspects are in brief presented in the extract from Nokia documentation below. These concepts will be applied and described in detail in the particular site build instructions. In fact for triband 3 sets of Basic Local Cell Set will be utilised.

Page| 13

6. Health and safety considerations Ensure standard health and safety precautions are observed at any given time when site build is undertaken. A special care is required bearing in mind the following: 6.1

HEAT DISSAPATION

Nokia Flexi BTS installation instructions state that core of the module should be handled with care as it is hot in normal unit operation:

Confidential


Page| 14

Nokia Flexi Rel3 Radio units (including L7 module FRPA and L26 module FRHF) follow a new design, whereby to account for higher power heat dissipation scheme has been modified. Heat sinks are expanded onto core unit casing and front panel is now heating to temperatures in excess of 60deg C. IME recommendation is to avoid bear hand touch of the unit casing including antenna ports and RET port when unit is powered on and under normal operations. When swapping faulty units sufficient cool down time is advised. If equipment needs to be handled without sufficient cool down time gloves that meet AS/NZS 2161.4:1999 standard – protection against thermal risks (EN407) recommendations need to be used.

6.2

ELECTRIC SCHOCK PRECAUTIONS

In order to avoid electric shocks the following is advised:

6.3

WORKING WITH HEAVY UNITS

Nokia Flexi RF modules, depending on the type can weigh up to 25kg. It has been noted during lab trials that the latest Rel3 units weight increased slightly over previous releases and is very close to 25kg and two man handling limit. Special care is advised, especially when equipment is being handled at heights. From Nokia’s documentation:

7. System impact 7.1

GREENFIELED L7/L26 DEPLOYMENT

The greenfield deployment of dual band L7/L26 sites needs to follow standard eJV processes. Site build instructions provided in the next sections are capturing planning steps and building instructions for greenfield deployments alongside of instructions for the uplift of the existing L7 sites to dualband L7/L26 configuration. Note that the main difference between greenfield deployment and upgrade of existing L7 is that FBBC cards are likely to be provided for new builds whereas existing sites are still likely to work with FBBA as the first BB extension card. 7.2

L7 SITE UPLIFT TO DUALBAND CONFIGURATION

The existing L7 site uplift, depending on the existing site configuration might require a number of tasks to be completed prior to actual site build. Optus key requirements are to:   

Maintain operational state of existing L7 layer with minimum interruption to traffic Ensure system performance is not compromised Maintain the required site visits to the absolute minimum

As such adequate planning, site survey and, wherever applicable, combining works with other ongoing projects is mandated. Commissioning in L26 layer on the existing L7 sites might for example require: o

Whereas this document aims as many points relevant to L7/L26 build, several aspects are still under discussion or are fully handled under separate programs (e.g. eJV RF Design Guidelines). It is the contractor obligation to ensure the latest set of instructions is being used in any given aspect of the dual band L7/L26 site build. Several aspects of the site build can be considered as a hot-install, however the final build and cell commissioning will require at least a couple of site resets. PTW with site outage is required for each site when uplifting existing L7 builds to dual band L7/L26.

8. Site build process – common to all builds In this chapter procedures common to a generic site build are captured. These procedures would be agnostic of the particular build, number of RRUs, plumbing or any other variables. Information and build instructions specific to particular configs will be covered in chapter 10 with chapter 9 used for the configuration index allowing easy navigation between relevant builds. 8.1

NEW SITE BUILD (GREENFIELD DEPLOYMENT)

Note: Before commencing the work, ensure you have a site commissioning template in form of XML file prepared by provisioning team. Observe that naming convention for the site, its cells, LCR etc. have been updated. For reference check appendix 2.7 (see external appendix list documentation). One of the common ways for preparing the config is using existing site template. This should match new site in terms of number of RRUs, fibre connectivity, cell configuration etc. Certain modifications can be done offline. Parameters for all the objects should be aligned with current Optus baseline. But final alignment is also allowed after site is fully integrated and CM plan can be executed to align parameters to current parameter baseline.

Important: Ensure health and safety regulations are observed at any given time during the site build. Nokia Rel 3 RF unit core is hot to touch under normal operation conditions. DO NOT TOUCH IT WHEN UNIT IS POWERED ON. AFTER POWERING THE UNIT DOWN ENSURE SUFFICIENT COOLNG PERIOD IS OBSERVED. Also note that the weight of the RF Rel3 unit is close to 25 kg. As such two man lift is recommended.

 1. 2.

3. 4. 5.

An out of box site install needs to follow the following steps: Ensure FPFD is installed correctly and DC feeds for RF units are connected. Ensure FBBCs are powered up, DC power link is installed and QSFP cables link FSMF card with FBBCs. Note: FBBCs are not supported fully until RL70. They can be detected with RL60 but have limitations on number of ports. If the FSMF out of the box operates on SW below RL60 FBBC card will not be detected. Power FSMF On. As per point above FBBC cards are not going to be detected at first unless FSMF is already using RL70 SW. Connect BTS Site Manager. With out of factory BBU Autoconnection and Autoconfiguration is enabled by default:

Disable this process to continue and Close the Autoconfiguration window.

Note: above needs to be updated to show 2xFBBC 6.

Using BTS Site Manager Upgrade SW to the required level (as specified in section 2). Ensure correct upgrade path is followed. This might require few steps as Direct upgrade from RL40 to RL70 is not recommended.

Important: New FSMF A.103 modules are delivered with the preinstalled SW LN4.0 ENB 1202_781_57 that has hardware security enabled (SW Verification Agent). As a consequence, updates are possible only to the following (or later) SW versions:  

** Warning ** Do not use older SW versions than recommended in section 5 of the Nokia Technical Note TS-SRAN-H-0004 (Appendix 2.5 - see external appendix list documentation). Failure to do so may result in loss of connection to FSMF unit, which can be fixed only in NSN repair center. Once upgrade to LN5.0 ENB_1304_647_28 is completed do not roll back to software below RL40 2.0 LN4.0_ENB_1202_882_18

7.

After FSMF is upgraded to RL70 FBBC will be detected and site is going to update FBBC software automatically. Wait for the FBBCs to initialise fully and observe for the SW upgrade messages that

Confidential


8.

Page| 18

depending on SW level might trigger autonomous site reset. Operator can also be asked to perform BTS site reset manually to ensure FBBC software upgrade process is completed. Connect radio modules. Power up L7 and L26 modules and wait for all the radio modules to be detected. If any issues with detection, try reset the site using element manager or power cycle entire node if previous steps are unsuccessful. Inspect DC power connections, SFPs and fibre links.

Important: FSMFs use the following default settings for the EIF2/RF6 port:

With this out of the box settings during the initial commissioning units connected to this port will not be detected. The use of EIF2 as RP3-01 needs to be changed to Enabled during first site commissioning.

9.

If necessary, perform SW upgrade again to load correct SW module on all RRU modules. Once all the components are detected and initialised completely you might proceed to site commissioning. 10. The key aspects of the site commissioning are highlighted below.  Use: “Commissioning type” – “Template” in order to load xml file provided by provisioning engineer.

Select your xml file from the Commissioning file: File: field.

For the transmission interface FSM1, both autodetect/autonegotiate and 1000Mbit/s duplex have been tested. The same settings must be used at both ends of the transmission link (i.e. Nokia BTS and next hop switch S3328 or X1)



If the Flexi System Module require CA certificate installation (new FSMF install, swap of the FSME for FSMF); management plane IP address must be the same as VLAN IP to allow initial IPSec CMP exchange:

BTS reset will be required. After reset check Certificates from Configuration -> Certificate management option and if required trigger CA download manually.

Set Synchronization to “Synchronous Ethernet FSM EIF 2”, SSM enabled (Note: SSM is ready for production deployment but it is yet to be approved by system architect).  Note: Check if transmission requirements are fulfilled as SyncE is potentially going to fail if the electrical SFP is used on the TX link at X1. ToP is optional if confirmed with the provisioning plan.

Ensure cells are commissioned correctly with required TxRx diversity scheme. In a standard 1+1+1 1+1+1 build 6 cells, 57,58 and 59 for L26 and 49, 50 and 51 for L7 will be built. Note that new convention for BTS, LNCEL and LCR naming and numbering system is provided in the site name and cell naming appendix (see external appendix list documentation). Build specific LCR parameters are captured individually for each configuration type.

EXISTING L7 SITE UPGRADE TO DUALBAND

When upgrading existing L7 site with L26 layer pre-cautions need to be made to assure minimum impact on existing and radiating live L7 layer. Note: Before commencing the work, ensure you have a site commissioning template in form of XML file prepared by mobile provisioning team. Observe that naming convention for the site, its cells, LCR etc. have been updated. Check appendix 2.12 (see external appendix list for reference). L26 cells can be created as a copy of the L7 cells. LCR has to be still created manually during commissioning but in the Radio Network Configuration page of the BTS SM (last parameter page) L26 cells can be created initially as a copy of L7 sectors. Ensure though that cell naming and cell specific parameters are optimised for L26. Final alignment to the current, Optus approved and issued by RAE, baseline can be run after BTS is integrated to O&M systems.

Important: Ensure health and safety regulations are observed at any given time during the site build. Nokia Rel 3 RF unit core is hot to touch under normal operation conditions. DO NOT TOUCH IT WHEN UNIT IS POWERED ON. AFTER POWERING THE UNIT DOWN ENSURE SUFFICIENT COOLNG PERIOD IS OBSERVED. Also note that the weight of the RF Rel3 unit is close to 25 kg. As such two man lift is recommended.

The following steps are advised when upgrading existing L7 site to dualband config. 1.

Assumptions: a. FSMF is already installed (if not, follow FSME for FSMF swap procedure) b. L7 site is operating without issues, connectivity between baseband and RRU is checked and validated against final design; if required changes to pre-existing fibre design are planned for, c. Site is in RFE state: plumbing is prepared for L26 installation and/or possible changing in TxRx diversity scheme on L7 d. Enable FSM EIF2 as RP-3-01 interface parameter in the BTS commissioning: Physical Layer Configuration is set to enabled

All the pre-requisite checks have been conducted thoroughly.

Ensure site is upgraded to RL70 as FBBC RF ports 1, 2 and 4 are not supported on lower software level. If needed perform SW upgrade. Note: SW upgrade is service affective. Site outage of up to 8 minutes is expected when site reset occurs at the end of SW upgrade. 3. If not yet present, install FBBCs. If required swap existing FBBA card for FBBC. When changing power cable for the new 3 way DC power cable FBBA operation will be affected. This operation is service affecting. 4. Ensure QSFP cable links FSMF card with FBBCs via BB extension port 1 and port 2. 5. Installation of FBBCs will require site reset to re-assign baseband services. Note: to limit number of resets – before FBBC is fully activated it is recommended to connect all RF modules. 6. If necessary correct L7 fibre connections. Ensure final fibre design is followed in full extent without any exceptions. 7. Connect new radio modules (FRHFs). 8. Power on FRHF(s). Wait for the site to detect new radio modules. SW upgrade to the FRHF(s) will have to be done in most of the cases. This is not service affecting as only FRPA requires new SW build. 9. Use commissioning manager to add new L26 cells. 10. Site should be free of alarms and ready for the commissioning phase. 11. The key aspects of the site commissioning are highlighted below.  Use: “Commissioning type” – “Template” in order to load xml file provided by provisioning engineer.

Select your xml file from the Commissioning file: File: field.



For the transmission interface FSM1, both autodetect/autonegotiate and 1000Mbit/s duplex have been tested. The same settings must be used at both ends of the transmission link (i.e. Nokia BTS and next hop switch S3328 or X1)



If the Flexi System Module require CA certificate installation (new FSMF install, swap of the FSME for FSMF); management plane IP address must be the same as VLAN IP to allow initial IPSec CMP exchange:

BTS reset will be required. After reset check Certificates from Configuration -> Certificate management option and if required trigger CA download manually.

 

After CA certificate is installed change Management plane IP address back to the address planned for this site. Note – anther BTS reset will be required. Set Synchronization to “Synchronous Ethernet FSM EIF 2”, SSM enabled (Note: SSM is ready for production deployment but it is yet to be approved by system architect).  Note: Check if transmission requirements are fulfilled as SyncE is potentially going to fail if the electrical SFP is used on the TX link at X1.

Ensure cells are commissioned correctly with required TxRx diversity scheme. In a standard 1+1+1 1+1+1 build 6 cells, 57, 58 and 59 (L26) and 49, 50 and 51 for L7 will be built. Note that new convention for BTS, LNCEL and LCR naming and numbering system is provided in the site name and cell naming appendix (see external appendix list documentation). Build specific LCR parameters are captured individually for each configuration type.

9. Site build configuration index Based on the various site build dependencies that are explained in the pre-requisites chapter 4 a number of builds are possible. The list of builds in this chapter is aimed to provide the installation team with a quick reference to the relevant chapters of the site integration manual. With extended and basic cell sets, Nokia ensures all builds that are following basic set of rules defined in RL70 are supported. It was agreed that full NOCR process is followed for specific subset of builds and remaining are tested only in the lab. 9.1
