update with the current plan
| 1 | 1 | laforge | = Chaos Communication Camp 2011 = |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | |||
| 3 | At the [http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/ CCC Camp 2011], we will again be running an experimental OpenBSC network. |
||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | The large area of the camp site and the number of users (expected in the 2,000 to 4,000 user range) make this an |
||
| 6 | ideal test installation for OpenBSC. |
||
| 7 | |||
| 8 | == Netork structure == |
||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | Given that there is only a maximum number of 10 ARFCN in the DECT guard band that we could use, |
||
| 11 | we cannot really afford to run many small BTSs. May small BTSs (single-arfcn) would mean that the capacity |
||
| 12 | is split/fragmented over the camp site. |
||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | Running few but large BTSs (many TRX) at higher power seems like the better strategy. It delivers |
||
| 15 | capacity without restricting it locally, i.e. capacity can be used anywhere on the camp. |
||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | 4 | laforge | == License / Approval == |
| 18 | |||
| 19 | We have a license from the German regulatory authority (Bundesnetzagentur) to operate on the following 6 ARFCN: |
||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | ||ARFCN||Uplink||Downlink||Purpose|| |
||
| 22 | ||871||1782.0||1877.0||BTS 0 / TRX 0|| |
||
| 23 | ||873||1782.4||1877.4||BTS 1 / TRX 0|| |
||
| 24 | ||875||1782.8||1877.8||nanoBTS+booster|| |
||
| 25 | ||877||1783.2||1878.2||BTS 0 / TRX 1|| |
||
| 26 | ||879||1783.6||1878.6||BTS 1 / TRX 1|| |
||
| 27 | ||881||1784.0||1879.0||BTS 0 / TRX 2|| |
||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | The license covers ERP (Effective Radiated Power) of 5W on each of the ARFCN, on GPS coordinates within the Camp site, with antenna heights of up to 18m above ground for the duration of August 3rd through August 15. |
||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | 1 | laforge | == Materials == |
| 32 | 3 | laforge | |
| 33 | === BTS and accessories === |
||
| 34 | 1 | laforge | |
| 35 | 4 | laforge | There will be two BTSs: |
| 36 | * BTS 0 with 3 TRX (Shelter 6) |
||
| 37 | * Motorola MetroSite with 48V power requirement |
||
| 38 | * Antenna pole will be fixed to the wall right of the right shelter door |
||
| 39 | * Antenna cabling will go into the former battery room of the shelter via the ventilation outlets |
||
| 40 | * BTS and 48V power supply will be inside the former battery room |
||
| 41 | * BTS 1 with 2 TRX (Shelter 3) |
||
| 42 | * Antenna pole will be welded to the outside of the right shelter door |
||
| 43 | * BTS will be wall-mounted to the inside of the right shelter door |
||
| 44 | * BTS will be powered directly from 230V AC mains |
||
| 45 | * E1 cabling will go from this BTS to the former battery room of Shelter 6 |
||
| 46 | 1 | laforge | |
| 47 | 4 | laforge | === Cabling === |
| 48 | 1 | laforge | |
| 49 | 4 | laforge | Antenna cabling will be H2000flex cable (2dB @ 10m / 2GHz). |
| 50 | |||
| 51 | E1 cabling will be CAT6 based for proper shielding against all the EMI on-site. |
||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | 1 | laforge | === BSC and core network === |
| 54 | |||
| 55 | 4 | laforge | We will run a single machine with DAHDI E1 cards and [wiki:osmo-nitb] attached to a [wiki:lcr] via MNCC. |
| 56 | 1 | laforge | |
| 57 | 4 | laforge | This BSC machine will be located in the former battery room of Shelter 6, next to BTS1. E1 cabling will go from the BSC |
| 58 | to both of the BTS. |
||
| 59 | 3 | laforge | |
| 60 | 4 | laforge | A dedicated Ethernet cable for administrative access will connect the BSC machine with the main tent of the GSM Village. |
| 61 | |||
| 62 | A dedicated Ethernet or E1 cable for Voice uplink will connect the BSC machine with the PoC phone switch. |
||
| 63 | |||
| 64 | 3 | laforge | == Equipment availability == |
