Mobile WiMAX Outdoor RAS SPI-2210 System Description/Ed.05
© SAMSUNG Electronics Co., Ltd. 3-6
Mobile WiMAX base station RAS board Assembly-Standard (MRA-S)
The MRA-S is equipped with the modem supporting IEEE 802.16 Mobile WiMAX
standard physical layer (PHY) and the modem performs the OFDMA signal processing
function by the control of the MMA-S.
The MRA-S modulates the packet data received through the MMA-S, converts the
modulated signal into the ‘Samsung Digital I/Q and OAM’ format and transmits to the
MRU-2. In the contrary, the MRA-S demodulated the data received from the MRU-2 after
performing the AGC function, converts the data into the format defined in the IEEE 802.16
Mobile WiMAX physical layer standard and then transmits the converted data to the
MMA-S via Ethernet.
The MRA-S supports 1carrier/1sector 2Tx/2Rx MIMO in default and can support 4-branch
Rx diversity.
The MRA-S can support N:1 Redundancy only for 1st carrier to continuously support
service to the corresponding sector if a fault occurs in a certain sector when the outdoor
SPI-2210 serves the service by using a carrier initially.
Mobile WiMAX base station External Interface board assembly (MEI)
MEI collects the environmental alarm and rectifier alarm via UCM in the outdoor SPI-2210,
and provides the path for the alarm information generated in external devices via UDA and
UDE. And MEI reports the alarm information to the MMA-S.
MEI provides the TDD signal for external devices.
