WMPT Board

ALD
Antenna Line Devices, family members include:
1. RET (Remote Electrical Tilt; single/dual)
2. TMA (Tower Mounted Amplifier; dual,multi-band)
3. Smart Bias-T
4. Signal Splitter (passive device)
5. Lightning protection devices
6. Mounting Hardware; grounding plates, brackets, cable clamps

RET
It is an electric motor driven device that turns a worm-gear, which in turn is
mechnaically coupled to the Antenna (top or bottom).
such that the motor turning in one direction (clockwise; anti-clockwise), pushes
the linkages of the movable end out,
while the other end of antenna remains pivoted.
The overall effect being that the Antenna may be tilted through a small (5-10°)
angle.
The motor turning in the reverse direction produces the opposite effect; pulling
the Antenna mount in and reducing the tilt.

TMA
iT is a single- or pair-, RF Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA), with a switchable gain of
12dB.
The TMA is placed close to the Antenna up on the tower,
and offsets the Antenna RF Cable loss which otherwise would reduce the Receiver
Sensitivity (Si) dB for dB.
For Example Rx Si of -100dBm, will be reduced by a long cable running from Antenna
over the length of the tower,
over ground all the way into the equipment hut, where the Radio may be located.
The loss can add up to 4-6dB or more, depending on cable spec; and reduces the
receiver sensitivity by that amount.
In turn the lower sensitivity reduces the coverage distance on ground by 2-4 times
or even more; of what an original -100dBm
Sensitivity Rx might deliver, for the given Antenna tower height.

Smart Bias-T
is a (plain) Bias-T along with embedded AISG Signal Modem (AISG carrier 2.176MHz;
using OOK or On-Off Keying Modulation) for communications.
The Bias-T helps both in adding and separating the Modulated AISG Carrier Signal to
and from, the wireless traffic (hi-frequency carrier)
going over the same RF cable.

CXU
Configuration Switch Unit
CXU has six different switches.
By setting the switches in different
positions, the CXU can be configured to connect radio signals from a specific
CDU to a specific RX input on a dTRU.

The CXU is also connected to a CDU bus. By sending data through the CDU
bus, the switches can be set to fulfil one of six supported configurations.

The unit contains splitters for distribution of incoming RX signals to the

switches and in some cases directly to an output.

We can say that CXU is one kind of Board.

It contains different types of Ports.

BSC : Base Station Controller

Many mobile stations are connected to one BTS3900.

so there are many BTS3900 which are further connected to many mobile stations.

Then many BTS3900 are connected to one BSC.

BBU present in Cabinet is connected to BSC through E1/T1 port.

Then BBU in Cabinet is connected to MRFU in Cabinet through CPRI port.

Alarms##############################################################
29204 X2 Interface Fault
eNodeB Function Name=%s, Neighboring Base Station Type=%u, Specific Problem=%s

When the SCTP link resources for an X2 Application Protocol (X2AP) connection are
available,
the eNodeB sends a connection setup request to the neighboring base station.
The neighboring base station checks the validity of the request.
If the check fails, the connection cannot be set up.
After receiving a response from the neighboring base station,
the eNodeB cannot set up a connection to the neighboring base station if the
neighboring base station is in the blacklist.
This alarm is reported in the following scenarios:
1. The eNodeB cannot set up the connection because the X2AP configuration is
incorrect or the neighboring base station works improperly.
In this case, the alarm will be cleared when all X2AP connections are successfully
set up.
2. The SCTP link bearing an X2 interface is faulty for at least 18 consecutive
seconds.
In this case, the alarm will be cleared when all SCTP link resources bearing X2
interfaces become
available and stay available for at least 28 consecutive seconds.
3. Only one alarm is reported when multiple X2 interfaces of the same neighboring
base station type are faulty for the same reason.
This alarm will be cleared when all these faulty X2 interfaces are restored.

This alarm is reported if the RF resources, baseband resources, or inter-BBP link

resources of a base station do not meet
the cell configuration specifications, carrier aggregation (CA) configurations are
incorrect,
or services in a super combined cell are abnormal.
Specific causes are as follows:
1) Channel exceptions occur. A cell is established with degraded TX and RX
capability due to unexpected TX and RX channel shutdown
or some sectors abnormality.
For example, a 4T4R cell is degraded to a 2T2R cell if two of its TX channels and
two of its RX channels are unexpectedly shut down.
2) Baseband capability is degraded. Baseband signals (DAGC) become abnormal and
cell capability is degraded.
3) CA configurations are incorrect. When some cells that are added to the CA
groups on an eNodeB cannot work properly,
CA cannot be performed.
In BBU interconnection scenarios, if the CaGroupCell MO configurations on
different eNodeBs are different or links between BBUs are faulty,
CA cannot be performed.
4) A super combined cell is degraded or services in a super combined cell become
abnormal.
(a) The super combined cell feature is enabled but does not work because the
SfnEdgeRruRelation MO configurations are inconsistent between two cells,
the inter-subrack control-plane link does not meet the requirements (that is, non-
ideal transmission on the eX2 interface),
the inter-subrack control-plane link (eX2 CP) is abnormal, or the inter-BBP link
(SRIO/eX2 UP) is abnormal.
(b) The super combined cell feature has started to work but services in a super
combined cell are abnormal because the settings of some parameters do not meet the
feature requirements. 5) The CPRI bandwidth is insufficient, and the cell is
established with degraded capability. 6) The RRU of the auxiliary eNodeB is out of
service. In inter-BBU SFN scenarios, this alarm is reported when the RRU of the
auxiliary eNodeB is out of service. 7) Due to the presence of CPRI fragments,
bandwidth allocation fails. The available CPRI bandwidth may be lower than the
actual bandwidth due to the presence of CPRI fragments. In this situation, the
bandwidth allocation based on the actual bandwidth fails. 8) Non-anchor carrier of
NB-IoT multi carrier cell is not available. When the non-anchor carrier of the NB-
IoT multi carrier cell is not available, if the anchor carrier is available, the
cell capacity is degraded. A clear alarm is reported when the following conditions
are met: In the case of abnormal channels, this alarm is cleared when RF channel
status of the base station becomes normal, the degraded cell serves no UEs, and the
cell is reestablished. In the case of degraded baseband capability, this alarm is
cleared when baseband signals become normal. In the case of incorrect CA
configurations, this alarm is cleared when the configurations are manually
corrected and inter-BBU links become normal. In the case of super combined cell
degradation or service exceptions in a super combined cell, this alarm is cleared
when configurations are manually corrected and links become normal. In the case of
CPRI bandwidth insufficiency, this alarm is cleared when the CPRI bandwidth meets
the cell specifications, the degraded cell serves no UEs, and the cell is
reestablished. In the case of RRU out-of-service on auxiliary eNodeBs in inter-BBU
SFN scenarios, the alarm is cleared when RRUs of all auxiliary eNodeBs provide
services normally. In the case of bandwidth allocation failure due to the presence
of CPRI fragments, the alarm is cleared when you block and then unblock the optical
port on the BBP to which the RRU chain for the cell is connected. In the case of
non-anchor carrier of NB-IoT multi carrier cell is not available, the alarm is
cleared when non-anchor carrier is available. This alarm is reported when a cell is
unavailable for 90s (default value) accumulatively in the window for raising alarms
(900s by default). This alarm is cleared when the cell becomes available again and
stays available in the window for ceasing alarms (15s by default). The cell
unavailable duration and cell available duration for reporting and clearing this
alarm, respectively, can be set by running the SET ALMFILTER command.

This alarm is reported during the proper running of a cell in any of the following
scenarios:
The serving cell and a cell in the neighboring cell list (NCL) have the same
physical cell identifier (PCI)
and downlink (DL) EARFCN.
The serving cell and a cell of the same eNodeB have the same PCI and DL EARFCN.
Cells in the neighboring relation table (NRT) containing the serving cell have the
same PCI.
This alarm is cleared in any of the following scenarios after the DL EARFCN or PCI
of the serving cell
or a neighbor of the serving cell is modified or the serving cell's neighbor
relationship is removed:
The serving cell and a cell in the NCL have different PCIs and DL EARFCNs.
The serving cell and a cell of the same base station different PCIs and DL
EARFCNs.
Cells in the NRT containing the serving cell have different PCIs.

In a multi-RRU cell, the RRU working status depends on licenses and physical
resources such as the baseband,
RF, CPRI resources, and inter-eNodeB link.
An RRU fails to provide services in any of the following conditions:
The physical resources are insufficient, faulty, or blocked.
The physical resources are sufficient while the licensed resources are
insufficient. This alarm is generated when the RRU is persistently unusable for 90
seconds (default value). This alarm is cleared when the RRU is persistently usable
for 15 seconds (default value). The durations for reporting and clearing this alarm
can be set by running the SET ALMFILTER command.

This alarm is reported when the difference between the power of interference noise
of the main RX channel
and the power of interference noise of the diversity RX channel exceeds 12 dB.
