LPR User Manual v1.0 Introduction Corning’s BWS™ platform 1.0 is the first fully-digital, end-to-end in-building cellular solution, for medium size venues. It provides coverage of 200,000 – 500,000 square feet, of mobile communication voice and data traffic, covering a wide range of frequencies. Being a pure digital system dramatically reduces system costs, and the system foot print.
LPR User Manual v1.0 Abbreviation Description The DRU logic determines how to distribute the information internally, via the clusterization logic (see term below). A Cell is either FDD or TDD mode (also referred to as Sector). Cluster A group of LPRs, to which the data is distributed from a single cell. This is a DRU-level term. AxC Channel • Digital representation of RF data associated with particular EBBU cell signal and transmitted in CPRI data-frame (according to format defined in CPRI spec).
LPR User Manual v1.0 1.3 Overview: about BWS 1.0 Architecture BWS fully digital platform incorporates integrated capacity source Enterprise Base Band Units (EBBU) with the digital distribution units – Digital Router Unit (DRU) and Low Power Remote (LPR) units. The solution enables multi band and multi operator support, high scalability (both, in capacity and coverage) and provides simple migration paths to future technologies. BWS 1.
LPR User Manual v1.0 1.3.2 System Sub-Units BWS includes three basic elements: Enterprise Base-Band Unit (EBBU), Digital Router Unit (DRU), Low Power Remote (LPR). The units and their general functionality are described in the following table. Table 3: BWS Basic Units Unit Name Picture EBBU Description This unit connects to the core-network provider’s base station, receives the RF signals, and distributes it towards BWS internal units.
LPR User Manual v1.0 Two basic management states are distinguished: • Connectivity updates: includes first time deployment and provisioning, connectivity changes. For these use cases, the EBBU calculates and distributes system schemes and maps to the connected DRUs. The first-time provisioning includes: 1. 2. Entering the EBBU data into: a. The provider’s network b. The EBBU itself (via SCPS application) The EBBU initiates an identification procedure of its MAC address.

LPR User Manual v1.0 3.4.3 Connect the Cables 1. Power: Connect the DC wire pair (48V) to the LPR connectors panel, via the DC power adapter (terminal block connector). 2. Optic cable: 3. • Remove the rubber stopper from the SFP connector located in the LPR RF port • Connect the optic cable to the LPR optic connector. LEDs: Verify the power and link LEDs are lit green. 3.4.4 Verify Normal Operation Verify the status LED blinking in green.
LPR User Manual v1.0 Post Installation Steps After installing connecting and powering-on the LPRs, configure the LPR via the DRU connected to that specific LPR. Refer to the system UM for configuration and management needs. 4.1 Unit Management To configure and manage the LPR and DRU units, the user needs to access the relevant DRU unit to which the LPR is physically connected. Another option is to access the overall system management mechanism, through the EBBU (refer to EBBU UM).
