2 Introduction to AISG Device

The Antenna Line Devices (ALDs), used in an antenna system, refer to TMA, RET, TMB,
and accessories. Currently, there are two protocol versions for ALDs: AISG1.1 and
AISG2.0.
 AISG1.1: Introduced in 2004, it is designed to enable the RETs (RCUs and their
control devices or software) of different vendors to be interoperable and to achieve
remote control of RCU devices.
 AISG2.0: Developed based on 3GPP standards in 2006, it corrects some errors in

AISG1.1 and supports TMAs in addition to RETs. Besides, it takes into account the
scalability of the protocol itself.
Generally, the AISG devices mainly refer to RETs and TMAs. Sometimes, The RET is
also called RCU or ACU. One RET is mechanically connected to an antenna and controls
the downtilt of the antenna remotely.
2.1 AISG Devices
2.1.1 AISG Ports and Cables on R8882 and RSU82
For the list of AISG cables that have been authenticated by ZTE, refer to A.3.
2.1.1.1 R8882
Figure 2-1 shows the AISG interface on R8882.

Figure 2-1 R8882 AISG Interface
Figure 2-2 illustrates the AISG cable used to connect one R8882 and the RET.
Figure 2-2 Cable for Connecting R8882 and RET
Table 2-1 shows the definition of pins of the AISG interface on one R8882.

2.1.1.2 RSU82
Figure 2-3 shows the AISG interface on RSU82.
Figure 2-3 RSU82 AISG Port
Figure 2-4 illustrates the AISG cable used to connect one RSU82 and the RET.
Figure 2-4 Cable for Connecting RSU82 and RET
Table 2-2 shows the definition of pins of the AISG interface on one RSU82.

Table 2-2 Pins of RSU82 AISG Port
2.1.2 NSBT and ASBT
For the list of NSBTs and ASBTs that have been authenticated by ZTE, refer to 0.
An NSBT is the bias tee used on the eNodeB side and it has two functions:
 Providing DC current to an ADTMA or a RET through a feeder.
 Modulating the RS485 signals that are used to control the downtilt of the RET or
ADTMA antenna on the eNodeB side into low-frequency analog signals, and
uploading them to the feeder.
Figure 2-5 illustrates one NSBT.
Figure 2-5 NSBT
An ASBT is the bias tee used on the antenna side. It also has two functions:

 Providing DC current to a RCU through an AISG cable.
 Demodulating the RS485 signals that are used to control the downtilt of the RET or
ADTMA antenna.
Figure 2-6 illustrates one ASBT.
Figure 2-6 ASBT
The difference between an NSBT and an ASBT lies in that the AISG port of the NSBT is a
8-pin male connector, while the AISG port of the ASBT is an 8-pin female connector, as
shown in Figure 2-7.
Figure 2-7 8-pin Male & Female Connectors
2.1.3 ADTMA
An ADTMA acts as two AISG TMAs. It has five ports: Node B0, ANT0, Node B1, ANT1,
and AISG. Figure 2-8 illustrates a typical ADTMA.

Figure 2-8 ADTMA
An ADTMA and a common DTMA are the same in RF performance, the number and
model of RF connectors, and the effect on network performance. However, they are
different in several aspects, as shown in Table 2-3.

Figure 2-9 illustrates the difference between the antenna system with a TMA and that
without a TMA.

Figure 2-9 Antenna System with TMA vs Antenna System without TMA
For the list of TMAs that have been authenticated by ZTE, refer to 0.
2.1.4 RCU (RET)
The RCU is used to adjust the downtilt of an electrically-adjusted antenna. It has an AISG
port, one 8-pin female port, and one 8-pin male port. The 8-pin male port is used to
connect one AISG cable, while the 8-pin female port is used for RCU cascading. Some
antennas have built-in RCUs.

Figure 2-10 RCU (RET)
Prior to the installation of one RCU, read its installation manual carefully because the
installation methods of RCUs of different vendors differ. Incorrect installation may cause
RET calibration to fail. Besides, if the antenna’s downtilt is adjusted manually during RCU
installation, the actual downtilt of the antenna cannot be queried through the RET. As a
result, it is required to perform RET calibration after installation, and if necessary, adjust
the downtilt through the OMC/LMT.
For the list of RETs that have been authenticated by ZTE, refer to A.1.
2.1.5 AISG Port on RET
Figure 2-11 shows the AISG port on a RET.
Figure 2-11 AISG Port on RET
2.2 Application Scenario

Before AISG device commissioning, it is required to connect necessary cables correctly.
For details about the installation of RET antennas, refer to RET Antenna Quick
Installation Guide.

This section describes some common application scenarios of AISG devices. For more
scenarios, refer to FDD LTE Antenna System Solutions and LTE Engineering and
Technical Solutions.
2.2.1 FDD LTE RRU + RET Antenna
2.2.1.1 2T2R
 Near End (The distance between the RRU and the antenna does not exceed 20 m)
Normally, in this scenario, the distance between the RRU and the antenna does not
exceed 20 m. For example, both the RRU and the antenna are installed on the top
of a building. Typical configuration of the antenna system includes RET antennas,
RCU, ALPD, and feeders. If the antenna is installed indoors or on the top of a low
building, the ALPD is not necessary. In this case, one AISG cable is used to connect
the antenna and the RRU.
Figure 2-12 shows the connection of the antenna system in the near end scenario.
Here only one sector is illustrated. The connections of three sectors are similar.
Figure 2-12 Antenna System for FDD 2T2R in Near-end Scenario
 Far End (The distance between the RRU and the antenna exceeds 20 m)

Normally, in this scenario, the RRU is installed at the bottom of a tower or indoors,
while the antenna is installed on the tower. The distance between the RRU and the
antenna exceeds 20 m. Typical configuration of the antenna system includes RET
antennas, RCU, NSBT, ASBT, and feeders. For the purpose of standardization, the
NSBT and the ASBT should be installed on the main channel of the antenna.
Figure 2-13 shows the connection of the antenna system in the far end scenario.
Figure 2-13 Antenna System for FDD 2T2R in Far-end Scenario

2.2.1.2 2T4R
Figure 2-14 shows the connection of the antenna system in the near end scenario.
Figure 2-14 Antenna System for FDD 2T4R in Near-end Scenario
 Far End (The distance between the RRU and the antenna exceeds 20 m)
Figure 2-15 shows the connection of the antenna system in the far end scenario.

Figure 2-15 Antenna System for FDD 2T4R in Far-end Scenario
2.2.2 FDD LTE RRU+RET+ADTMA
In this scenario, the RRU is normally installed at the bottom of a tower, while the RET
antenna and the ADTMA are installed on the tower. The RET is 50 m away from the
RRU.
Typical configuration of the antenna system in this scenario includes RET, RCU, NSBT,
ADTMA, and feeders. The RRU’s ANT port is connected to the feeder through the NSBT,
the RRU’s AISG port is connected to the NSBT with an AISG cable, and the ADTMA’s
AISG port is connected to the RCU with an AISG feeder.

Figure 2-16 shows the connection of the antenna system in the RRU+RET+ADTMA
far-end scenario the case of 2T2R. Here only one sector is illustrated. The connections of
three sectors are similar.

2.2.3 FDD LTE Macro Base Station+RET
When an LTE FDD macro base station is configured with RET antennas, it should
support remote electrical adjustment. For a three-sector macro base station, two
solutions are available:
 Solution 1 is illustrated in Figure 2-18, and it is applicable to the case where the
antennas are far away from each other.

2.2.5 Antennas Shared by CDMA and FDD LTE (2T4R)
Suppose three-band (800 MHz, 2.1 GHz, and 2.1 GHz) RET antennas are used, the
connections of the antenna systems should be as follows:
 TX0/RX0 and TX1/RX1 of R8882 are connected to the same feeder group.
 One RET can be cascaded with another RET with one 0.5 m AISG cable, and it is
not provided with power supply separately. Normally, two AISG cables are provided:
The longer one is used to connect the R8882 with the antenna, while the shorter
one is for cascading.
 The existing feeders keep unchanged.

 Tip:
If the existing cable for CDMA RET is with an AISG 2.0 connector, it can be reserved for
use.
If the existing cable for CDMA RET is without a standard AISG 2.0 connector, it is
recommended that the CDMA RET be remotely controlled by the EMS by means of RSU
cascading.
If the RSUs are not cascaded, the compatibility and performance issues of the existing
CDMA RET devices should be solved by the customer.
Figure 2-21 shows the connection of the antenna system when the antennas are shared
by one CDMA BTS and an FDD LTE eNodeB in the near end scenario.

3.1.2 Creating Antenna Entity Objects
Purpose
The purpose of the operations here is to create antenna entity objects.
Procedure
To create antenna entity objects, perform the following steps:

2. In the Managed Element pane, double-click Antenna Entity Object (path:

Managed Element --> Device ---> BTS Auxiliary Peripheral Device --> Antenna
Service --> Antenna Entity Object) to open the Antenna Entity Object-List tab
page on the right.

Entity Object tab page.

Figure 3-5 Antenna Entity Object Tab Page
4. In the Antenna Entity Object tab page, set the parameters according to the
descriptions in Table 3-2.
 Tip:
Normally, one RET corresponds to one antenna entity object. However, the number of
objects should be configured based on the application scenarios. For example, in the 2T4R
scenario, as one RRU/RSU uses one four-port antenna and this antenna is installed with two
RETs, two antenna entity objects should be created.

6. Repeat steps 3 – 5 to create other antenna entity objects.
In practice, as it is difficult for the OMC engineer to obtain the antenna information, the
antenna entity objects are, by default, configured on the principle of two RETs per cell. As
a result, for a three-cell 2T2R scenario, six antenna entity objects may be configured in
the OMC, but in reality, only three objects (AntEntity=1/3/5) are used and associated with
RETs, and the other three objects are reserved. If 2T2R is to be upgraded to be 2T4R, no
objects need to be configured. Just associate the reserved antenna entity objects with the
new RETs.

Example
Suppose the site scenario of one eNodeB is 2T4R, as described in Section 2.2.1.2. Six
antenna entity objects should be configured for the eNodeB and their numbers are 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, and 6 respectively, their Used antenna attribute is AntProfile=1, and RET device
type is Uni-antenna RET. Among these objects, objects 1 and 2 correspond to the two
RETs of the first antenna; objects 3 and 4 correspond to the two RETs of the second
antenna, and objects 5 and 6 correspond to the two RETs of the third antenna.
Upon configuration, the Antenna Entity Object-List tab page looks like Figure 3-7.
Figure 3-7 Antenna Entity Object Configuration Example
As to the selection of used antenna attributes, follow the principles below:
 Dual-polarized smart antenna (eight channels): AntProfile=16
 Dual-polarized smart antenna (two channels): AntProfile=20

 Distributed antenna (single channel): AntProfile=201
 Smart antenna of common linear array (eight channels): AntProfile=12
 Smart antenna of common linear array (four channels): AntProfile=10
 Distributed antenna (two channels): AntProfile=202

3.2.2 Configuring RF Cables
Purpose
The purpose of the operations here is to configure RF cables to connect the RF ports of
RRU/RSU to the TMA devices.
Prerequisite
Before configuring the RF cables, ensure the RRUs/RSUs device, TMA devices, and
antenna entity objects have been configured.
Procedure
Suppose one eNodeB is configured with three RRUs, three ADTMAs and three RETs (as

3.2.3 Adding TMA
Before AISG device scanning, no record is in the AISG Device-List of an RRU or RSU.
This section describes how to configure the TMAs.
Purpose
The purpose of the operations here is to scan AISG devices and add them.
Procedure
The configuration of RETs falls into two main steps: scanning AISG devices and creating
TMAs, as described in Section 3.2.3.1 and Section 3.2.3.2 respectively.
3.2.3.1 Scanning AISG Devices
Refer to the description in Section 3.1.5.1 to scan AISG devices. The scanning result
may look like Figure 3-46.

Figure 3-46 Viewing Details of Scanning Result
 Tip:
For each ADTMA, two units are scanned.
3.2.3.2 Creating TMAs
1. In the Details pane of the scanning result, select the detailed record, and click the
icon to display the Create AISG Device dialog box.
2. In the Create AISG Device dialog box, select a proper TMA device for the
Connected TMA device, and click OK.
3. After the AISG device is added, its information is displayed in the Configuration
Management.
To view the AISG device information, open the AISG Device-List tab page by
double-clicking AISG Device in the Managed Element pane (path: Managed
Element --> Device ---> RRU/RSU --> R8882/RSU82 --> AISG Device).
4. Repeat steps 1 - 4 to add AISG devices for other RRUs.
3.2.4 Synchronizing AISG Data
After the TMA devices are added, perform incremental synchronization of AISG data,
ensuring the data on the RRU to be consistent with those in the EMS. For details about
the synchronization operations, refer to Section 3.1.6.
3.2.5 Performing TMA-Related Operations
After data synchronization, TMA-related operations can be performed, such as “Set

mode”, “Query mode”, and “Query gain”.

4 FAQ
4.1 Why to Send Configuration Data

ZTE’s LTE eNodeBs support RETs of many brands, and the RETs of one brand can only
work with the antennas of the same brand. As a result, it is necessary to send the
configuration data of the RET.
The configuration data include the parameters of the connected antenna, such as
maximum downtilt and minimum downtilt.
In sending the configuration data, make sure the correct configuration data file is used.
For the RETs of some vendors, the alarm “RET not calibrated” may be raised after the
configuration data are sent. In this case, it is required to calibrate the RET after
configuration data sending.
4.2 Why to Calibrate the RET

RET calibration is to calibrate the RET by running the antenna for a cycle. After
calibration, the RET can be used to set the downtilt of the antenna so as to ensure the
accuracy and precision of the downtilt.
For RETs of some vendors, they cannot be used to adjust the downtilt if the calibration
operation is not performed. After calibration, the antennas of some vendors are at the

minimum downtilt, while the antennas of other vendors are at the downtilt before
calibration.
Generally, a newly-installed RET must be calibrated before it is used to adjust the

downtilt.
4.3 When to Calibrate the RET Downtilt

RET calibration must be performed in one of the following cases:
 The AISG device is scanned for the first time and the downtilt is set.
 The configuration data of one RET is changed.
 An RET is replaced with a new one.
 A calibration failure alarm is raised, and the downtilt has to be adjusted. If the
downtilt is not required to be adjusted, such an alarm can be ignored because it has
no impact on the services.
4.4 What to Be Paid Attention to in RET Calibration

Before RET calibration, ensure the RET and the antenna are correctly installed.
Otherwise, RET blocking may take place during RET calibration and the RET may raise
eNodeB-related alarms.
Besides, after calibration, the antenna may be at the minimum downtilt or the downtilt
before calibration, so record the downtilt of the antenna before calibration.
4.5 How to Handle the Alarm “Gain Setting Failure”

of a TMA
If a TMA has a fixed gain, this TMA does not support gain setting operations. When the
TMA’s gain is set to a value other than the fixed gain, the alarm “gain setting failure” is
raised.
If a TMA has not a fixed gain, the alarm “gain setting failure” is also raised when the value
of the gain exceeds the gain range supported by the TMA.
Once such an alarm is raised, re-set the gain to a value that is supported by the TMA.
Currently, the gain of commonly-used TMAs is 12 dB, which should be set to be 48 * 0.25
(where 0.25 is the resolution) in the EMS. If the alarm does not disappear after the gain is
set to a correct value, use the alarm clearing command to clear it.

AppA Antenna Products Authenticated by ZTE
A.1 RETs
For RETs purchased from vendors, interoperability test (IOT) should be conducted with
ZTE’s base station devices. Once one RET passes the IOT, it is authenticated by ZTE.
In principle, all standard AISG1.1 and AISG2.0 RETs can operate with ZTE’s devices.
Currently, AISG2.0 RETs are configured. In a swapping or update project where there
are AISG1.1 RETs used at the site, the onsite engineers must conduct the IOTs between
these RETs and ZTE devices before deciding whether the existing AISG2.0 RETs are
reserved for use.
AppTable A-1 lists the RETs that have been authenticated by ZTE.

 Tip:
1. One RET can only work with the antennas of the same vendor.
2. AISG1.1 RETs and AISG 2.0 RETs are the same in appearance and cost. They differ in
the respective of software and model.
A.2 TMAs and Bias Tees

Normally, the AISG2.0 TMAs should be configured. AISG1.1 TMAs or common TMAs are
configured in some special scenarios or in the case the old TMAs are used.
