ANTENNA-NEAR PRODUCTS:Antenna System Controller (ASC)
The ASC is an auxiliary unit of the RBS mounted in the antenna tower near the antenna.
The ASC is used on the receiving paths in order to lower the overall receiver noise figure.
The double dual duplex ASC support two antenna branches.
Power supplied from the AIU and supervised from the Main Processor (MP) in the RBS.
One ASC per sector

RBS 6102 is the large outdoor macro RBS providing a complete radio site including transport equipment, site power and battery backup. The cabinet can house up to two radio shelves, two battery strings, thus designed for high capacity demands.
RBS 6000 Products – MACRO OUTDOOR
RBS 6101
RBS 6101 is the compact outdoor macro RBS. The cabinet houses one radio shelf and has space for power, transport and a short battery backup. RBS 6101 can also be equipped as a high capacity Main Unit for main-remote solutions.
RBS 6102
RBS 6000 for Radio Network Engineers | Christian Mathis (Ericsson) | 14 April 2011 | Page 17
The RBS 6202 indoor macro base station is an extremelycompact RBS that provides a complete multi-standard radio capable macro site in any 19 inch rack solution. The RBS 6202 cabinet houses one radio shelf and can be installed in any available 19 inch rack at the site or wall-mounted.
RBS 6000 Products – MACRO INDOOR
RBS 6202
RBS 6201 is an indoor RBS that can house two radio shelves as well as the transport equipment and site power supply needed for an entire RBS site. Thus, this is a complete site for high capacity demands integrated into one cabinet. The cabinet is containing two radio shelves that provides flexible radio capacity.

RBS 6000 PRODUCTS –MAIN-Remote SolutionS (1/2)
RBS 6601
RBS 6601 (Main Unit) is a very small indoor main unit that can be inserted into standard 19” racks already deployed at the site.
→ Designated successor product of RBS 3418
RRU Radio Remote Units, RRU are the naming of the radio designed to be mounted near the antenna to minimize the feeder loss, which gives drastically reduced site power consumption. The baseband controlling the RRU can be deployed either in macro enclosures (e.g. RBS 6101, 6301 or in the 19”RBS 6601.
RBS 6000 for Radio Network Engineers | Christian Mathis (Ericsson) | 14 April 2011 | Page 19
RBS 6000 PRODUCTS –MAIN-REMOTE SOLUTIONS (2/2)
RBS 6301
RBS 6301 can be used as a low capacity macro, a very compact high capacity main unit for single standard or multi standard main-remote sites or as a micro.

BASEBAND CAPACITY RESOURCE POOLING
Each DUW variant supports a maximum number of Channel Elements. The higher the capacity configuration for HSDPA resources is, the lower the remaining capacity for R99 (Defined by so called Resource_Ids). Resource pooling means flexible allocation of HSDPA resources according to the traffic demand.
Example: - DUW10 (DL BB capacity 128 CE, fully configured), 3 cells x 1 carrier with resource pooling
- Capacity License Key: max. 32 HS users/cc, max. 15 HS codes/cc
- Pool Configuration for RBS: 30 HS codes with dynamic allocation, 96 HS users
⇒ With pool configuration of 96 HS users for the RBS, there are 65 CEs left for R99 traffic.

› Node identity can be restored if
– More than one RU is configured on the node, or if
– Only one DUW is replaced in a dual DUW configuration
› Otherwise, the node identity changes and the License Key File is no longer valid
– New LKF must be ordered with new DUWReplacement of DUW
– Installation of new LKF

USE CASE 7: Emergency & CAPACITY SHORTAGE
Emergency Unlock (Basic Feature)
Used to immediately make all capacity and all features available for a node/group of nodes
Intended to be used in case of emergency such as earthquake, floods, …
Makes all capacities and features available in the node for a period of 7 days
Feature can be used twice for a node (then Emergency Unlock Reset feature key is required)
Delayed Activation of Capacity Control in RBS (Optional Feature)
Limit of licensed RBS DL/UL baseband capacity not immediately effective when this traffic level is reached
“Grace period” specified in the license key ⇒ full capacity available for a node until a number of days
By this feature, operators have time to expand baseband capacity license without traffic congestion when traffic reaches the licensed limit.
