Flexi Multiradio BTS GSM/EDGE Architecture Flexi Multiradio Architecture basic principles
• Both GSM/EDGE and WCDMA/LTE have own separate system modules when the BTS is used in concurrent mode having several operational modes simultaneously.
• The radio modules (RFM and RRH) as well as the antenna lines could be shared between the system modules.
• The interconnections between the system modules and the radios can be routed through one system module or the connections can be separate from both system modules.
• In concurrent operation Flexi MR BTS is seen as two separate logical network elements with common radio resources.

RF Module Functional blocks
• Radio Module is the 3-branch radio transceiver module. The module consists of three individual branches designed to transmit and receive multicarrier signals of multiple radio technologies concurrently.
• The module contains the necessary common functionality like the digital and control circuitry, RP3-1 interface and the needed DC/DC power conversion.
• Each branch contains the transmitter and receiver chains and the front end filters
• The front end filters are software tuneable filters.
• For support of legacy site expansion cases, RFM has separate UL diversity outputs for each branch so that the diversity can be shared between Flexi Multiradio BTS and a co-sited BTS. Diversity sharing requires the co-sited BTS operates in the same frequencies within the frequency band. The co-sited BTS can be at least NSN Ultrasite, Flexi EDGE or BTSplus.
• The fans used for module cooling are replaceable.

**) One FPMA supports up to four FPAAs. FPBAs may also be installed in the FPMA.
***) An FSEC is also required since a maximum of two FPDAs can be installed in parallel for each System Module.
