22、graphy. 19 iv L series Supplement 30 (10/2016) Introduction Existing mobile network systems are primarily defined for urban areas where the necessary support infrastructure (adequate power, building or shelter, accessibility, skilled manpower to operate etc.) for setting up a telecommunication netwo

23、rk is assumed to be in place. Hence current systems do not meet rural specific requirements and cannot be mass deployed. A cellular network with capacity transfer is a very attractive mobile network system that can be used in rural areas and provides a very low capital and operating cost, a very low

24、 power consumption, a very effective coverage of sparsely populated and scattered population clusters, a very quick deployment of the system to give “last-mile“ service for customers with high economic efficiency. Fundamentally, the key benefit is achieved by relaying of the cellular air interface i

31、trated in Figure 1. In the traditional cellular network topology, the capacity is statically distributed among BSs of the radio access network (RAN). The cellular network with capacity transfer is built around a central BS where radio resource is concentrated and distributed to light repeater-like s

32、ervice stations. That principle allows the achievement of high efficiency and flexibility in the cellular network. Figure 1 Cellular network with capacity transfer principle The cellular network with capacity transfer principles are implemented in the capacity transfer repeater (CTR). CTRs are bidir

33、ectional amplifiers that perform reception, selection (filtering) and amplification of radio signals, as well as the conversion of their carrier frequency from the cellular band to a different frequency range (usually higher) and vice versa. Variable gain allows the establishment of the necessary zo

34、ne of radio coverage. CTR transfers radio signals from the base station (BS) of a cellular network to the mobile station (MS) subscriber terminal and in the reverse direction. The solution allows the expansion of the coverage zone of the BS with a simultaneous increase of the overall channel capacit

35、y of the cellular network with the relay of the whole sector. As a result, the number of required BSs and corresponding microwave links (MLs) in a cellular network is significantly reduced, as well as the total cost of the system. L series Supplement 30 (10/2016) 3 The expanded coverage zone consist

36、s of relayed sectors of a single BS with no intercell handovers between service areas of the CTRs connected to the same BS. In this case, only intra-cell inter-sector handovers take place, which, depending on the standard and the equipment, could be handled by the BS itself. This fact enables signif

37、icant reductions of signalling overhead and call drops, which in turn improve quality of service (QoS), especially in complex coverage areas. Usage of the frequency bands outside the cellular frequency band by CTRs for relaying dramatically reduces the impact of intersystem interference in compariso

38、n with common repeaters. There are a number of options for relay channel arrangement. Out of the cellular bands: ML bands; whitespaces; licensed and unlicensed bands. In the cellular bands: regionally unused cellular bands and sub-bands; locally unused cellular spectrum; reformed bands and sub-bands

39、. The low power consumption of CTRs allows usage of alternative sources of power (solar panels, wind power) that greatly facilitates the provision of radio coverage in sparsely populated and remote areas.

However, it does not require changes to cellular communication standards. It provides a number of considerable advantages to traditional cellular networks: One CTR, consu

Principles

45、of cellular network with capacity transfer are described in b-RU 2279764 C1, b-US 8,289,888 B2, b-EP 1890399 B1, b-CN 101006665 B, b-India 258620 and b-UA 91347 C2. 3.2 Functional description The main functional purpose of the CTR is to transfer capacity of one or more sectors of the BS to remote ar

46、eas. In this case, the entire infrastructure needed for BS functioning is placed at the BS site. Figure 3 shows an example of the highway coverage by GSM BSs. Each BS includes two transceivers (TRXs), a digital unit (DU) and a PS. Base station BS1 is connected to the core network by an optical fibre

47、 cable (OFC). BSs are interconnected by MLs. All BSs at the sites are supposed to have a similar configuration each one is installed in the container close to the tower, on the top of which receiving and transmitting GSM antennas are installed, as well as an ML and its antenna equipment. Container B

48、Ss site design requires significant CAPEX. TRX cable connections of the BS installed in the container with the antennas make a significant attenuation of signals during transmission and reception to compensate, which is necessary to increase the power of the BS transmitter. Power consumption of the

49、site, taking into account the air conditioner installed in the shelter, is 3-5 kW. The use of distributed BSs, where radio frequency (RF) remote radio head (RRH) units are placed next to the antennas and baseband DUs are installed in a climatic cabinet, helps reduce the power consumption of the sites down to 1-2 kW. 6 L series Supplement 30 (10/2016) Figure 3 Cellular network with standard BSs Figure 4 shows the scheme of coverage of the same route using capacity transfer repeaters
