INTERREACH FUSION WIDEBAND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Topics Page System Overview ..................................................................................................................................................................... 5 Wireless Standards and Air Interface Protocols .........................................................................................................................6 Configurable Bands................................................................................
InterReach Fusion Wideband System Description Wireless Standards and Air Interface Protocols The Fusion Wideband system supports major wireless standards and air interface protocols in use around the world, including: • Frequencies—700 MHz, 800 MHz, 850 MHz, 1700 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2500 MHz, 2600 MHz • Voice Protocols—AMPS, CDMA, GSM/EGSM, LTE, TDMA, WCDMA • Data Protocols—1xRTT, CDPD, CDMA2000, EDGE, EV-DO, GPRS, LTE, Paging, WCDMA.
System Overview • Standard 75 Ohm CATV cable, if using CommScope 2065V, 2279V, and 2293K cables (or equivalent), can be run up to – 130 meters for RG-59 cable – 140 meters for RG-6 cable – 235 meters for RG-11 cable. • Flexible RF configuration capabilities, including: – System gain, with the ability to manually set gain in 1 dB steps, from 0 to 15 dB, on both downlink and uplink. – RAU: RAU uplink and downlink gain can be independently attenuated at 0 or 10 dB.
InterReach Fusion Wideband System Description SYSTEM HARDWARE The InterReach Fusion Wideband system consists of three modular components: • 19" rack-mountable Main Hub – connects to up to four Expansion Hubs (except for the One Port Main Hub configuration that supports 1 Expansion Hub) – converts RF signals to optical IF on the downlink; optical IF-to-RF on the uplink – microprocessor controlled (for alarms, monitoring, and control) – auto-configurable bands – simplex interface to RF source – periodically
System Hardware Figure 1. Fusion Wideband System Hardware Figure 2.
InterReach Fusion Wideband System Description SYSTEM OA&M CAPABILITIES InterReach Fusion Wideband is microprocessor controlled and contains firmware to enable much of the operations, administration, and maintenance (OA&M) functionality. Complete alarming, from each unit in the system (defined as a Fusion Wideband Main Hub and all of its associated Expansion Hubs and Remote Access Units) and the cabling infrastructure is available. All events occurring in a system are automatically reported to the Main Hub.
System OA&M Capabilities AdminBrowser OA&M software runs on the Fusion Wideband Main Hub microprocessor and communicates to its downstream Expansion Hubs and associated RAUs. Using AdminBrowser, you can perform the following from any standard web browser (such as Internet Explorer) running on your PC/laptop system: • configure a newly installed system • change system parameters • perform an end-to-end system test • query system status.
InterReach Fusion Wideband System Description Using Alarm Contacts You can connect the DB-9 female connector on the rear panel of the Fusion Wideband Main Hub to a local BTS or to a daisy-chained series of Fusion and/or FlexWave Focus systems. When you connect FlexWave Focus or a BTS to the Fusion Wideband, the Fusion Wideband Main Hub outputs the alarms (alarm source), and then FlexWave Focus or the BTS receives the alarms (alarm sense). This is described in “Alarm Source” on page 157.
System Connectivity SYSTEM CONNECTIVITY The double-star architecture of the Fusion Wideband system, illustrated in Figure 5, provides excellent system scalability and reliability. The system requires only one pair of fibers for eight antenna points. This makes any system expansion, such as adding an extra antenna for additional coverage, potentially as easy as pulling an extra CATV cable.
InterReach Fusion Wideband System Description SYSTEM OPERATION The Main Hub receives downlink RF signals from a base station using 50 Ohm coaxial cable. Main Hub The Main Hub converts the RF signals to IF, then to optical signals and sends them to Expansion Hubs (up to four) using optical fiber cable. Expansion Hub The Expansion Hub converts the optical signals to electrical signals and sends them to RAUs (up to eight) using 75 Ohm CATV cable.

Remote Access Unit OVERVIEW The Remote Access Unit (RAU) is an active transceiver that connects to an Expansion Hub using industry-standard CATV cable, which delivers RF signals, configuration information, and electrical power to the RAU. RAUs pass converted IF to RF (Downlink) and converted RF to IF (Uplink) signals between an Expansion Hub and an attached passive antenna, where the signals are transmitted to wireless devices as shown in Figure 13. Figure 14 shows the RAU block diagram.
Overview The Fusion Wideband RAUs are manufactured to a specific set of bands: one 60 MHz Band 1 (split into two sub-bands 1A and 1B for the FSN-W2-808519-1 RAU), and one 75 MHz Band 2. Table 39 lists the Fusion Wideband RAUs, the Fusion Wideband Band, and the frequency bands they cover. Table 39.

DESIGNING A FUSION WIDEBAND SOLUTION Topics Page Design Overview.................................................................................................................................................................... 62 Downlink RSSI Design Goal .................................................................................................................................................... 64 Maximum Output Power Per Carrier....................................................................
Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution DESIGN OVERVIEW Designing a Fusion Wideband solution is a matter of determining coverage and capacity needs. This requires the following steps: 1 Determine the wireless service provider’s requirements; refer to “Downlink RSSI Design Goal” on page 64.
Design Overview 4 5 Determine the in-building environment; refer to “Estimating RF Coverage” on page 83. • Determine which areas of the building require coverage (entire building, public areas, parking levels, and so on). • Obtain floor plans to determine floor space in a building and the wall layout of the proposed areas to be covered. Floor plans are also useful when you are selecting antenna locations.
Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution DOWNLINK RSSI DESIGN GOAL Wireless service providers typically provide a minimum downlink signal level and an associated confidence factor when specifying coverage requirements. These two figures of merit are a function of wireless handset sensitivity and margins for fading and body loss.
Maximum Output Power Per Carrier MAXIMUM OUTPUT POWER PER CARRIER The following tables show the recommended maximum Power Per Carrier out of the RAU 50 Ohm Type-N connector for different frequencies, protocols, and numbers of carriers. These maximum levels are dictated by RF signal quality and regulatory emissions issues. In general, as the number of RF carrier increases, the maximum Power Per Carrier decreases.

Maximum Output Power Per Carrier Designing for Capacity Growth Fusion Wideband systems are deployed to enhance in-building coverage and/or to off-load capacity from a macro cell site. In many instances, subscriber usage increases with time and the wireless provider responds by increasing the load on the installed Fusion Wideband system. For example, the initial deployment might only require two RF carriers, but four RF carriers may be needed in the future based on capacity growth forecasts.
Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution SYSTEM GAIN The system gain of the Fusion Wideband defaults to 0 dB or can be set up to 15 dB in 1 dB increments. In addition, uplink and downlink gains of each RAU can be independently attenuated by 0 or 10 dB using AdminBrowser. The recommended maximum lengths of CATV cable are as follows: • For RG-59 cable 130 meters for CommScope PN 2065V • For RG-6 cable 140 meters for CommScope PN 2279V • For RG-11 cable 235 meters for CommScope PN 2293K.
Estimating RF Coverage ESTIMATING RF COVERAGE The maximum output Power Per Carrier (based on the number and type of RF carriers being transmitted) and the minimum acceptable received power at the wireless device (that is, the RSSI design goal) essentially establish the RF downlink budget and, consequently, the maximum Allowable Path Loss (APL) between the RAU’s antenna and the wireless device.
Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution Equation 2—Path Loss Equation In-building path loss obeys the distance power law in Equation 2: PL = 20log10(4πd0f/c) + 10nlog10(d/d0) + Xs where: • PL is the path loss at a distance, d, from the antenna • d = the distance expressed in meters • d0 = free-space path loss distance in meters • f = the operating frequency in Hertz. • c = the speed of light in a vacuum (3.0 × 108 m/sec).
Estimating RF Coverage Equation 3—RAU Coverage Distance Use “Equation 1” on page 83 and “Equation 2—Path Loss Equation” on page 84 to estimate the distance from the antenna to where the RF signal decreases to the minimum acceptable level at the wireless device.
Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution Equation 4—Maximum Antenna Coverage By setting the path loss to the maximum allowable level (PL = APL), Equation 3 can be used to estimate the maximum coverage distance of an antenna connected to a RAU, for a given frequency and type of in-building environment.

Estimating RF Coverage 5 Path Loss Slope: For a rough estimate, Table 73 on page 85 shows that a building with 80% hard wall offices and 20% cubicles, at 1920 MHz, has an approximate path loss slope (PLS) of 38.1. Given the RF link budget of 97.0 dB, the distance of coverage from each RAU will be 30.2 meters (99 ft). This corresponds to a coverage area of 2,868 sq. meters (30,854 sq. ft.) per RAU (refer to “Equation 2—Path Loss Equation” on page 84 for details on path loss estimation).
Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution LINK BUDGET ANALYSIS A link budget is a methodical way to account for the gains and losses in an RF system so that the quality of coverage can be predicted. The end result can often be stated as a “design goal” in which the coverage is determined by the maximum distance from each RAU before the signal strength falls beneath that goal. One key feature of the link budget is the maximum Power Per Carrier explained in “Maximum Output Power Per Carrier” on page 65.
Link Budget Analysis Table 81. Link Budget Considerations for Narrowband Systems Consideration Description BTS Transmit Power The Power Per Carrier transmitted from the Base Station output. Attenuation between BTS and Fusion Wideband This includes all losses: cable, attenuator, splitter/combiner, and so forth. On the downlink, attenuation must be chosen so that the maximum Power Per Carrier going into the Main Hub does not exceed the levels given in “Maximum Output Power Per Carrier” on page 65.

Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution Elements of a Link Budget for CDMA Standards A CDMA link budget is slightly more complicated because you must consider the spread spectrum nature of CDMA. Unlike narrowband standards such as TDMA and GSM, CDMA signals are spread over a relatively wide frequency band. Upon reception, the CDMA signal despread. In the despreading process the power in the received signal becomes concentrated into a narrow band, whereas the noise level remains unchanged.
Link Budget Analysis The power level transmitted under closed-loop power control is adjusted by the Base Station to achieve a certain Eb/N0 (explained in Table 85). The difference between these power levels, ΔP, can be estimated by comparing the power radiated from the RAU, Pdownink, to the minimum received signal, Puplink, at the RAU: for Cellular: ΔP = Pdownink + Puplink + 73 dBm for PCS: ΔP = Pdownink + Puplink + 76 dBm It’s a good idea to keep –12 dB < ΔP < 12 dB.
Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution Table 85. Additional Link Budget Considerations for CDMA (Cont.) Consideration Description Noise Rise On the uplink, the noise floor is determined not only by the Fusion Wideband system, but also by the number of mobiles that are transmitting. This is because when the Base Station attempts to despread a particular mobile’s signal, all other mobile signals appear to be noise.

Link Budget Analysis Considerations for Re-Radiation (Over-the-Air) Systems Fusion Wideband can be used to extend the coverage of the outdoor network by connecting to a roof-top donor antenna pointed toward an outdoor Base Station.
Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution OPTICAL POWER BUDGET Fusion Wideband uses SC/APC connectors. The connector losses associated with mating to these connectors is accounted for in the design and should not be included as elements of the optical power budget. The reason is that when the optical power budget is defined, measurements are taken with these connectors in place. The Fusion Wideband optical power budget for both multi-mode and single-mode fiber cable is 3.0 dB (optical).
Connecting a Main Hub to a Base Station CONNECTING A MAIN HUB TO A BASE STATION The Fusion Wideband system supports up to three RF sources: one for Band 1, one for Band 2 and one for Band 3. This section explains how each band can be connected to its associated Base Station. Each Fusion Main Hub band has separate system gain parameters. For example, Band 1 can be set for +5 dB of downlink system gain while Band 2 can have +15 dB of downlink system gain.
Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution Uplink Attenuation The attenuation between the Main Hub’s uplink port and the associated band’s Base Station reduces both the noise level and the desired signals out of Fusion Wideband. Setting the attenuation on the uplink is a trade-off between keeping the noise and maximum signal levels transmitted from Fusion Wideband to the Base Station receiver low while not reducing the SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) of the path from the RAU inputs to the Base Station inputs.
Connecting a Main Hub to a Base Station Input Signal Level Activation Level -30 dBm Output Signal Level 1 Release Level -45 dBm 3 1 2 Attack Phase Hold Phase 5 Release Phase Time Figure 16. ALC Operation Using the RAU 10 dB Attenuation Setting Each RAU band can, independently of the other RAUs in a system, have its uplink or downlink gain attenuated by 0 or 10 dB for each RAU band (1, 2 or 3).
Designing a Fusion Wideband Solution The effect of activating the uplink or downlink attenuators is to reduce the coverage area of the adjusted RAU band. The coverage radius will be reduced by roughly a factor of 2. More specifically, if d is the coverage distance without attenuation and d’ is the coverage radius with the attenuation, then where PLS is Path Loss Slope (dBm).
