1 Introduction This document describes the ClearFill®Star system and its components. 1.1 General ClearFill®Star is an innovative, digital, IP-based wireless indoor coverage solution. ClearFill®Star is a unique low-cost approach that improves indoor cellular service by converting radio coverage into an IP based Ethernet application. It is based on wireless, Ethernet, and packet technology.
Advantages of ClearFill Star system versus a typical distributed antenna system: Lower costs for hardware and installation: Installation costs are reduced by the use of existing infrastructure. All remote radio heads / active antennas (RRH) are powered via CAT5 cables and the Power of Ethernet (PoE) functionality that eases the installation considerably. CAT5 cable (+fiber) versus coaxial cable (+fiber). Gig-E components versus RF components.

2 ClearFill®Star System Description 2.1 General description In order to leverage the commonly available data network infrastructure, ClearFill®Star uses the same local area network (LAN) topology. A LAN in a typical office building is laid out in a tree topology. The base of the tree is the main telecommunication/equipment room with the Ethernet switches and routers. It usually accommodates the connection to the outside world.
the building. One or more external antennas can be connected to an RRH through a short RF cable or directly on the housing. Power for the RRHs is provided over CAT-5 cables using the power-over-Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af standard. Figure 3 shows a schematic signal flow from BTS to RRH.
2.1.1 Supported Services The ClearFill®Star system supports the following services: CDMA2000 1xRTT systems complying to C.S0002 up to and including Release A EvDO Release A 1.25 MHz applications Frequency Band Class 0 (800 MHz band, sub-bands 0,1 and 2) Frequency Band Class 1 (1900 MHz band) 2.1.2 Identification of System This chapter gives a short overview of the ClearFill®Star components. Please see chapter 2.2-Unit description for a more detailed description of each system element. 2.1.2.
Figure 6 Remote Radio Head (RHH) device 2.1.2.4 Ethernet Infrastructure incl. Gigabit Ethernet Switched (GES) The infrastructure for data transport is based on 1Gigabit Ethernet Switches (GES). Two kinds of cables can be used for the interconnection: CAT5 (or higher) for distances of maximum 100m (300ft) and optical fibers for longer distances. The GES support Power over Ethernet (PoE).

2.2 Unit description 2.2.1 Base Station Interface (BSI) The connection to the BTS is established through an RF interface. The RF interface allows ClearFill®Star to support any manufacture’s BTSs. The central task of the BSI is to convert the downlink radio signals into outgoing Ethernet packets and to convert incoming Ethernet packets into uplink radio signals.
The simplexed twin BSI rack supports a carrier capacity of 2 CDMA carriers (realized via two separate BSI in one housing). The Simplexed Twin BSI can be fed by two external power supplies (one for each BSI). The external power supply port is at the rear side of the housing. Minimum spacing of two RF channels that are supported: 2.5MHz. The frequency band and channel allocation are controlled separately for each BSI unit via NMS.

2.3.2 Sectorization The sectorization is configured via the GES. The procedure for VLAN configuration is described in section 4.7.3.4-VLAN Configuration of GES. In a system containing several BSIs the assignment of each RRHs to a BSI (sectorization) is configurable by VLAN (Figure 10). The VLAN configuration / sectorization is done via NMS. RRH .. .. RRH BSI 1 VLAN1 BSI 2 .. .. Transport RRH .. .. Network RRH BSI n RRH VLAN2 .. ..
2.3.3 Guided Hard Handover (Pilot Beacon Functionality) The RRH has to be able to generate a pilot beacon signal in order to guide the hard handover. The guided hard handover is accomplished by a pilot beacon generated by the RRH. A typical realization of the guided hard handover from/to 5 outdoor carriers to/from one dedicated indoor carrier is shown in Figure 11.
3 System Design Guidelines 3.1 CDMA Basics (in preparation) 3.1.1 Data (in preparation) 3.1.2 Voice (in preparation) 3.2 Required information for system design A successful and reliable RF-design is based on many different parameters and assumptions and cannot be described completely in this handbook. The goal of indoor system design is to meet the requirements for excellent performance and QoS. Understanding requirements should include, but not be limited to: Capacity vs.
3.2.2 Coverage area / Architecture drawings For optimizing a system design it is essential to have knowledge about the areas to be covered. A typical indication for the area to be covered is the reception probability: -85dBm@95%RP means that 95% of the Building has to get covered with a signal strength level better -85dBm. Typical values for the minimum signal strength level are in the range of 85dBm to 95dBm, a reception probability of 98% represents a very high demand.
The following typical wall attenuations were observed: Type Attenuation [dB] Thin concrete wall - 10cm (4 inches) 5 Thick concrete wall - 13cm (5 inches) 13 External wall front with windows 8 External wall front without windows 10 Porous concrete 4 Dry wall, sheetrock 1-2 Wood structure, wood door 1 Glass 2 Concrete floor 13 Brick Wall - 10cm (4 inches) 4 Brick Wall - 6cm (2 inches) 3 Partitions metal 1-2 Plastic structure 0.
Statistical models are helpful if the type of building can be classified: Model Name Path Loss Equation [dB] Retail Store PL (d) = 22 Log(3.28*d) + 20.1 Suburban Office Bldg - Open Floor Plan PL (d) = 24 Log(3.28*d) + 19.1 Suburban Office Bldg - Soft Partitions PL (d) = 28 Log(3.28*d) + 17.0 Suburban Office Bldg - Hard Partitions PL (d) = 30 Log(3.28*d) + 16.0 University PL (d) = 0.6232(d)+ 63 Motorola Cluttered PL (d) = 0.594(d) + 71 Motorola Uncluttered PL (d) = 0.

3.2.3 Type of Building ClearFill®Star is a confined area coverage solution, applicable primarily to buildings. Building types: Enterprise Office building Airport Residential Hotel Hospital Fairground Shopping Mall Garage, Car Park area Building topologies: Isolated Building Campus areas Systems for enterprise buildings are more challenging to design due to the construction with concrete walls, concrete pylons and many obstacles like metallic racks, machinery, storage areas, etc.
3.2.4 Number of Users One CDMA channel can handle up to 56 users at the same time. A ClearFill®Star BSI supports the capacity of 1 CDMA carrier. If more capacity is required, additional CDMA carriers can be designed to overcome capacity limitations. Fairgrounds, theatres, stadium areas, meeting rooms and campuses are areas that might require capacity extension. Capacity planning has to be discussed with the network operator, responsible in general for the Base Transceiver Station.
3.2.5 Typical parameters Typical parameters for the system design are: Required signal strength level for CPICH: -80dBm…-85dBm Required signal strength level for CPICH: (Strong outdoor signal present) -70dBm…-75dBm Reception probability (typical): 90%..95% Coverage area for 1 RRH (typical): 2,500 sqm (25,000 sqft) Typical propagation loss for antenna radius 28m (92 ft): (Office area with sheetrock walls) 3.
Example 1: By using the standard propagation model, 2 Remote Radio Heads can cover a rectangular office floor with the dimensions 100m x 50m (330 ft x 165 ft). Example 2: For an office floor with the dimensions 100m x 100m (330ft x 330ft), 4 RRHs should be used. ClearFill Star CDMA 1100187 Rev. 1.
Up to 24 RRHs can be connected to a summing GES. The number of RRHs is independent from the type of service (voice or data) for CDMA. At least 24 RRHs for voice 3G1x, 24 RRHs for data transmission EV-DO and the required number of RRHs for the guided hardhandover- service, called the beacon feature, can be connected to a summing GES. For detailed information concerning summing modes please refer to section 3.5. 3.3.

3.3.5 Number of GES The Gigabit Ethernet switch supports the functionality of the Remote Radio Heads and the NMS. All GES-settings are controlled and realized via NMS. The GES provides Power over Ethernet (POE) to the RRHs and the BSI. The GES can handle RRHs supporting voice, data and beacon service and BSI’s. Up to 12 Ethernet ports are available at the GES. Ports 11 and 12 can be used as optical ports, by using these ports only ports 1 to 10 can be used for an Ethernet based connection.
The number of GES depends on the RRH quantity and can be affected by distance. A good design is to place a GES in a central location within a group of RRHs (up to 11 RRHs, because one port is needed for the connection to the next GES). This minimizes the distance to each RRH. It is essential that the Ethernet cable length of 100m (330ft) is not exceeded. RRH Summing for Uplink: A summing function is included in the RRH, it sums the UL data streams for data or voice of up to 8 RRHs of the same GES.

3.4 Estimated RF Coverage per RRH 3.4.1 Propagation Model (Free Space Loss) A simplified model is used to calculate the propagation losses for in- and outdoor environments. Free-space propagation conditions are assumed. Obstacles penetrated in direction of transmission are causing additional RF losses. Due to relatively short ranges in buildings, line-of-sight conditions can be assumed which are interrupted by obstacles. Consequently, impact of scattering is neglected.
Environment Description PC Low-Band < 1GHz PC High-Band > 1GHz Free Space Corridor 2.0 2.0 Open: With very few RF obstacles Parking Garage, Convention Center 3.37 3.01 Moderatly Open: With low to medium amount of RF obstacles Warehouse, Airport, Manufacturing 3.5 3.2 Mildly Dense: With medium to high amount of RF obstacles Retail, Office Space with approx. 80% cubes and 20% hard-walled offices 3.61 3.
3.4.1.2 In-Building Path Loss For in-building applications, the PC has to be chosen correctly as already mentioned above. In addition to free space propagation, additional wall losses have to be introduced. Guidelines for different kind of wall types are presented in Table 5.
3.4.2 Power Level Estimation (Link Budget) This section describes the calculation of the expected UL and DL reception power levels. For this sample investigation a standard model of an area of 50 x 50 sqm (25,000 sqft) (resulting in a coverage radius of 34m (110 ft)) has been chosen to provide coverage and capacity for. The model to calculate the propagation losses in indoor environments is described in section 3.4.1.
3.4.2.1 Downlink A coverage radius of a RRH in DL is calculated to be 28 m assuming 14 dBm composite output power of the RRH, a composite reception level of -85 dBm at 95 % reception probability at the handheld and the above given propagation model. RRH Output Power Level 14.0 dBm CPICH Power Level 7.0 dBm RRH Antenna Gain 0.0 dBm CPICH EIRP 0.0 dBm Frequency 1950.00 MHz min. Distance max Distance RRH Antenna Height 3.50 m Fading Margin 2.00 dB Body Loss 3.00 dB Slope Factor 2.00 2.
3.4.2.2 Uplink For the mobile, the output power and dynamic range was assumed as shown in Table 8.
The calculation result for the UL reception power levels is summarized in Table 9.

3.7 System Architecture 3.7.1 Rules from the Ethernet World 3.7.1.1 CAT5 lengths Maximum CAT5 (or higher) cable length is 100 m (300 ft). 3.7.1.2 Optical lengths Maximum length of the multi mode fibers is 550 m (1650 ft) 3.7.1.3 Cascade Rules: Up to 4 Levels, including the main switch connected to the BSI. It is mandatory that all RRHs have same number of switches on the signal path to the BSI. This is applicable for each VLAN.
3.7.3 Example system architecture 3.7.4 System feeding Adding Capacity by Growing Sectors on In-Building Solutions with ClearFill®Star: Unlike in the Macro Network, it is recommended that capacity be grown by adding sectors to the inbuilding system. The reason for this is increasing the number of sectors improves the ability to locate users within a building. Also, adding sectors to a ClearFill®Star System is less expensive than adding carriers.
connectors), 1900 MHz band signal and splits it into two simplexed signals to connect to two BSIs. Each BSI has simplexed (forward, reverse separate) RF connectivity (two connectors per band class). Each BSI is a single carrier device (by configuration) but is capable to accept a multiple RF carrier signal: The BSI discerns (by configuration) the specific RF carrier which it shall convert to Ethernet. If two in-band (e.g.
