1. Introduction to Flexi Zone Mini-Macro Outdoor BTS
Brief description of Flexi Zone Mini-Macro Outdoor BTS
Flexi Zone Mini-Macro Outdoor BTS overview
The Flexi Zone (FZ) Mini-Macro Outdoor (MMO) BTS (also referred to simply as the "MM") is a
high-power second-generation small cell BTS optimized for an outdoor micro-cell
environment. The product design utilizes a small cell-specific radio architecture based on a
radio frequency integrated circuit device, and an integrated baseband processing solution
that enables feature parity with Flexi macro BTS solutions.
Equivalent in size to a small cell, the Flexi Zone Mini-Macro Outdoor BTS delivers macro-like
base station RF power (2 x 20W).
The main application of this BTS is to help deliver an improved mobile broadband experience
by enhancing coverage and capacity both indoors and outdoors. Thanks to its small size and
fanless solution the BTS can be used in micro cell applications. It can be deployed at street
level and on rooftops to cover traffic hotspots, fill network coverage holes, and improve
coverage inside buildings such as airports and railway stations.
The Flexi Zone BTS provides functionality defined by 3GPP for an eNodeB and supports
standard network interfaces to other network elements, that is S1 and X2.
The product performance is defined in a way that the air-interface is the only thing which
limits the throughput. The HW platform supports full throughput capability. The physical
transport interface is optimized for IP-based transport solutions. Furthermore, the BTS
supports varying transmit power.

1.1 Benefits
List of the different benefits Flexi Zone BTS offers to the operator
Easy installation
Flexi Zone BTS offers new site deployment possibilities thanks to its compact size and light
weight which makes it easy and fast to deploy on poles or on the sides of buildings. Its
compact size enables minimum installation clearance which allows Flexi Zone BTS to be
installed in areas of limited space (such as outdoor furniture). This small base station can
also be installed back-to-back at compact multiband and multiradio sites. The portability
results in savings in the form of lower rental costs and simpler site acquisition because the
unit requires less space. As a result, operators are now able to extend their coverage to
areas that were previously inaccessible. The Flexi Zone BTS is deployable by a single person,
significantly reducing installation costs. The Flexi Zone BTS consumes little power,
significantly reducing running costs without compromising the quality of the delivery
capacity.
The size of the BTS makes it unnoticeable in locations such as exterior walls, billboards, lamp
posts, and bus stops.
No acoustic noise
Flexi Zone BTS uses passive cooling.
Easy commissioning
Flexi Zone BTS supports wizard-based commissioning via the BTS Site Manager. The
configuration can be saved to a file which can be later reused as a template.

Software features
Flexi Zone BTS supports parity with applicable Flexi Macro BTS solution features. For the full
list of features and their descriptions, see Feature List documentation.
Integration within Zone eNB
The Zone eNB is designed as a cost-effective and high-performing capacity solution for the
deployment of a large number of coordinated small cells. Flexi Zone is a heterogeneous
network solution that makes use of LTE to offload, add capacity, and boost subscriber
experience in both indoor (public/enterprise) and outdoor street-level hot-zone
environments.
The introduction of Flexi Zone Controller into the Zone eNB enables deploying large
numbers of mixed indoor and outdoor cells within a single Zone cluster. Each of the small
cells is supported by a Flexi Zone Access Point (FZAP) based on a re-purposed Flexi Zone
Micro BTS. Flexi Zone Controller aggregates Flexi Zone Access Points and acts as a single
eNB towards the core network, providing mobility anchoring to all UEs within the Zone eNB.
Figure 1: Basic schema of Flexi Zone deployment
The current implementation of the Zone eNB supports up to 100 FZAPs under an individual
FZC. The aggregation of all access point interfaces under FZC simplifies integration and IP
addressing, reduces signaling back to the core network, and simplifies the backhaul by
enabling one single feed to the controller rather than to many access points.
For more information, see Flexi Zone Controller Product Description.

Flexi Zone Mini-Macro Outdoor BTS Product Description
1.2 Transport and synchronization
Transport protocol description and synchronization
Flexi Zone BTS hardware variants use IP/Ethernet as a standard transport protocol.
Ethernet, both copper and fiber, is the standard interface used by the BTS. When external
transport solutions (such as wireless backhaul) are used, they interface through Ethernet
connections on the BTS and the technology used is transparent to the BTS.
Passive optical networks (PONs) can be supported via E-PON or G-PON SFPs. An IOT with the
PON vendor will be required to use customer-specific PON SFPs.
Flexi Zone BTS variants support the following LTE network interfaces:
eNodeB to MME and Serving SAE Gateway with S1 interface
eNodeB to eNodeB with X2 interface
The physical transport interface configuration available is RJ45 + SFP (fiber).

BTS chaining
The Flexi Zone BTS supports the ability to connect additional BTS sites that are downstream
from the network interface terminations (S1, X2). Deployment configurations include colocated BTSs to provide multiple-sector or multiple-band developments at a single shared
installation point. In addition, one site is also used as an intermediate transport termination
point for a geographically separated site. The chained nodes can utilize ToP
(IEEE1588-2008™) synchronization when operating in the frequency synchronization mode.
Note that the maximum number of Flexi Zone BTS hops is limited to four (4) or by the
maximum switching capacity of the main (or root) node.
Synchronization
The Flexi Zone BTS supports operation in either a frequency or a phase synchronization

Flexi Zone Mini-Macro Outdoor BTS Product Description
Network Time Protocol
(NTP)
The Flexi Zone BTS supports frequency synchronization through its
primary backhaul connection from an NTPv4 compliant master clock.
Long convergence times are often necessary when using NTP
frequency synchronization to mitigate the less accurate time
stamping and lower messaging rate compared to the
IEEE1588-2008™ protocol. A reduced frequency accuracy requirement
of 100 ppb is supported with the NTP synchronization reference
source.
BTS Freerun / Holdover Operation
During the absence of an available synchronization reference source the Flexi Zone BTS can
support operation in the freerun or synchronization holdover mode. The freerun mode
involves the initialization of a BTS without an available synchronization reference source.
The freerun mode is only possible when operating in the frequency synchronization mode
since phase synchronization requires the phase alignment of the BTS System Frame Number
(SFN) counter to the GPS timescale. To initialize a BTS in the freerun mode, the BTS must
have been powered for a minimum of 60 minutes (to ensure suitable oscillator stability) and
have valid, unexpired oscillator calibration data.
The holdover mode involves the ability to maintain operation following the loss of a
synchronization reference during normal operation. In the phase synchronization mode, a
holdover interval of 30 minutes is supported for a BTS that has been powered for a
minimum of 60 minutes. A longer phase synchronization holdover interval of 90 minutes is
supported for a BTS powered more than 24 hours. In the frequency synchronization mode, a
holdover or freerun interval of 3 hours is supported for a BTS that has been powered for
more than 60 minutes, and a 30-day holdover is supported when powered for more than 24
hours.
When operating with the NTP synchronization reference, due to the reduced frequency
accuracy requirement an extended frequency synchronization holdover or freerun interval
of 150 days is supported after the BTS has been powered for more than 24 hours.
OCXO calibration
To support freerun operation and shorten BTS initialization times, the Flexi Zone BTS
supports a function to calibrate its reference Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO).
The Flexi Zone BTS supports three (3) OCXO calibration types: Factory, Auto_Short, and
Auto.

Flexi Zone Mini-Macro Outdoor BTS Product Description
Factory calibration
At time of manufacture, a factory calibration is performed where
OCXO calibration data is stored in the Flexi Zone BTS electronic
identification memory. The factory calibration is only valid for 30 days
after time of manufacture. If the BTS is installed beyond the 30-day
period, the OCXO calibration may still be used to help initialize
operation but a synchronization reference source will be necessary to
bring the BTS into service.
Auto_Short calibration
For BTSs that have been powered for between 1 hour to 24 hours, an
Auto_Short calibration is performed against the currently selected
synchronization reference source (GPS, SyncE, ToP, or NTP). An
Auto_Short calibration can maintain freerun or holdover operation in
the frequency synchronization mode for 3 hours. A minimum
operational period of 1 hour is necessary to ensure suitable OCXO
stability to support holdover operation. An Auto_Short calibration is
updated at 90-minute intervals when the Flexi Zone BTS is properly
synchronized against a valid reference source.
Auto calibration
For BTSs that have been powered for longer than 24 hours an Auto
calibration is performed against the currently selected
synchronization reference source. An Auto calibration can maintain
freerun or holdover operation in the frequency synchronization mode
for 30 days. An Auto calibration is updated at 24-hour intervals when
the Flexi Zone BTS is properly synchronized against a valid reference
source.
1.3 Management and software
Brief description of Flexi Zone BTS management and software update.
Management
The Flexi Zone BTS supports both local (on-site) and remote (off-site) management.
The Flexi Zone BTS can be managed locally using the Network Element Manager connected
through an available unused backhaul port or through a Bluetooth connection. The
Bluetooth connection eliminates the need for a wired connection to the Flexi Zone BTS

Flexi Zone Mini-Macro Outdoor BTS Product Description
when it is installed in a difficult to reach location.
Flexi Zone BTS hardware variants feature an internal Bluetooth module which consists of an
on-board Bluetooth transceiver. The transceiver provides a 78 channel EDR 2.1 compliant
Bluetooth interface used for remote MMI and maintenance operations. All required SW is
loaded and installed onto the Flexi Zone BTS Bluetooth Module as part of the overall Flexi
Zone BTS product software. Contact your local company representative for additional
details.
The Flexi Zone BTS may be managed remotely via your transport backhaul connection using:
NetAct (applicable to all Flexi Zone BTS variants regardless of the technology supported).
The combination of 5620 Service Aware Manager (SAM)1) + 9959 Network Performance
Optimizer (NPO) + 9952 Wireless Provisioning System (WPS) (this combination is
applicable to FDD BTS variants only). The 5620 SAM/9959 NPO/9952 WPS product suite
is supported in LTE17A and later releases.
The BTS automatically detects the SW version number, HW product code, version number,
and serial number during the start-up sequence. This data can be retrieved remotely. The
BTS supervises its internal operation, ensuring that any malfunctions or loss-of-service is
detected and reported to the network management.
Software updates
New SW versions can be downloaded while the BTS is in operation. The software can be
uploaded to BTS either locally or remotely. Site visits are therefore unnecessary for routine
operation and maintenance (O&M) tasks.
Typically, a local software download is done only when the NetAct or 5620 SAM connection is
missing, for example, during the commissioning process. Software downloads can be run in
the background of the BTS operation. The new software can be activated at any time.
Note:
A reboot is required in order to activate the software.
The BTS only uses downloadable software which can be downloaded and updated from
NetAct or 5620 SAM. As the procedure is centralized, upgrading SW for several BTSs can be
performed simultaneously or individually.
The BTS keeps the current and previous software packages in its flash memory and can be
updated at any moment. Updated software (current and previous) in the BTS can be seen

Note:
Only BTS models newly ordered from the factory at the beginning of the LTE18SP
time frame meet the requisite hardware specifications to support the external alarm
box (FSEF).
Air interface
The BTS transceiver is equipped with TX/RX antenna connections. Each antenna port
supports a maximum transmit power as defined in each variant's technical description.
Receivers support reference sensitivity specifications as defined in 3GPP 36.104 for Wide
Area base stations. In addition to 3GPP standards alignment with the Flexi Multi Radio BTS,
Flexi Zone BTS follows Wide Area BTS specifications from TS 36.104 Rel-11. Carrier
frequency can be freely selected via SW within frequency associated with the band-specific
hardware variant.
When multiple carriers are configured to use a single radio module, each carrier must share
the transmit power (for example, 43 dBm per TX is shared across all carriers).
Diversity
Flexi Zone BTS supports two-branch receiver diversity. Each carrier can be configured for
normal operation with 2TX/2RX, 1TX/2RX, or 1TX/1RX within the same radio module.
Dimensioning
Air interface dimensioning is the first step performed in order to provide the first estimation

WARNING!
WARNING! Risk of electric shock.
Before turning RF power on, RF ports have to be terminated by nominal 50 Ω load (for
example, feeder with antenna). However, if these conditions are not met, the plastic
caps that are delivered within the unused RF ports should remain in place. The plastic
caps isolate RF power from the environment, and thus provide electric shock security
in case RF power is accidentally on.
NOTICE:
The BTS should always be mounted in a vertical orientation with connectors on the
bottom side to ensure convection cooling.

Warnings, cautions or notes related to the product
WARNING!
WARNING! Risk of electric shock.
Before turning RF power on, RF ports have to be terminated by nominal 50 Ω load (for
example, feeder with antenna). However, if these conditions are not met, the plastic
caps that are delivered within the unused RF ports should remain in place. The plastic
caps isolate RF power from the environment, and thus provide electric shock security
in case RF power is accidentally on.
NOTICE:
The BTS should always be mounted in a vertical orientation with connectors on the
bottom side to ensure convection cooling.

5. Safety for Public and Workers
Safety installing instructions for Public and Workers
5.1 Installing base stations to ensure public safety
The equipment generates radio frequency energy, which has a thermal effect when
absorbed by the human body. For this reason, compliance boundaries specific to this
equipment have been established. The thermal effects of radio frequency energy can
exceed safety levels when a person is inside the established compliance boundaries.
Observe the compliance boundary, and make sure the general public has no access to areas
inside the established boundaries.
Note:
This equipment may only be installed by trained professional maintenance personnel.
5.2 Installing Flexi Zone Outdoor Mini-Macro base stations
to ensure installer safety
Flexi Zone Outdoor Mini-Macro installer-to-BTS separation distances for safety
Installation engineers need to be aware of the potential risk of the thermal effects of radio
frequency energy and how to stay protected against undue risk.
When working close to transmitting antennas, the proper safety distances must be
observed. The minimal safe distance from an antenna is measured in meters. When
assessing the applicable compliance boundaries (CB) European standards EN 50383, EN
