1 OVERVIEW
Node B is the European Technical Standards Institute’s (ETSI) name for the radio base station.
The basic function of the Node B is to convert 100 Base T packet data into the UTRAN TD-
CDMA air interface used between the Node B and the 3G Modem. The Node B can be
configured to operate in configurations ranging from a single sector or omni mode, up to a 6
sector arrangement. One Node B is required for each sector of coverage, in the case of an omni
configuration one Node B will be required. The Node B is controlled by an INC (Integrated
network Controller) Generally co located at the site in a separate cabinet.
