2 SYSTEM AND PRODUCT OVERVIEW 2.1 INTRODUCTION - WHAT IS A COMPACT BASE STATION? At PureWave, we believe that true broadband data networks must roll out in a completely different manner than the traditional, low-throughput cellular networks of yesterday. The traditional cellular network paradigm of colossal “macro” base stations and large cell radii developed from the need for high-coverage networks to carry low-bandwidth voice and messaging traffic.
2.2 PUREWAVE QUANTUM AT A GLANCE The PureWave Quantum Family of Compact Mobile WiMAX Base Stations is PureWave’s 3rd generation base station platform, and we believe it presents what is simply the most advanced and high-performing, yet cost-effective base station solution available. The PureWave Quantum Family of base stations consists of the 2x4 (2 Transmit, 4 Receive) Quantum 1000, as well as the PureWave Quantum 2200 (2x2), 4400 (4x4), and 6600 (6x6) products.
PureWave Quantum base stations can utilize virtually any off the shelf antennas, both omnidirectional and sectored. However, PureWave recommends our own line of affordable, compact, multi-antenna panels designed specifically to complement the performance of our base stations. Error!

specific hardware. Together these components deliver the processing power required to realize the high-performance required by today’s demanding applications, while yielding the flexibility to support future functionality as the needs arise. 2.3.1 Physical Interfaces The PureWave Quantum 6600 is shown in Figure 2. The PureWave Quantum product’s flexible architecture allows for a number of product variants to suite almost limitless deployment needs.

It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the unit is professionally grounded and complies with all relevant local codes. N-type connector for mandatory external GPS antenna. 3.3V power on center pin. This Gigabit Ethernet port serves as the data traffic backhaul Interface and also provides for in-band management of the base station.
2.3.2 Radio and Physical Layer Specifications The PureWave Quantum Family of base stations is available in several model variants that support a variety of frequency bands in accordance with the regulatory requirements of a number of countries. Because several deployment-specific variables (e.g.
Air Link Optimization UL Collaborative Spatial Multiplexing*, UL SDMA* (* future) HARQ, CTC Table 4: Radio and PHY Specifications 2.3.2.1 Receiver Sensitivity Table 5 presents typical receiver sensitivity specs of the Quantum 6600 base station. Note that sensitivity will be correspondingly less on models with fewer than 6 antennas.
Total Ave EIRP (in dBm) = Ave EIRP per Ant + 10log(Number of Antennas) For a 6-ant base station, the example above yields Total Ave EIRP = 46dBm + 7.78dB = 53.78dBm. Note that most regulations refer to Peak power, which in a WiMAX system is normally as much as 10dB higher than average power. In the case of the PureWave Quantum products the peak power can be assumed to be around 9dB higher than average. Therefore, peak EIRP may be computed as follows: Peak EIRP per Ant (in dBm) = Ave EIRP per Ant + 9dB.
from which more sophisticated uplink processing techniques (such as interference mitigation) are built. On the downlink (Base Station to Subscriber Station), sophisticated digital signal processing algorithms exploit information gathered during the uplink beamforming process to concentrate the transmitted RF energy from the antenna array to the exact subscriber stations locations, improving gain, efficiency, and signal to noise ratio (SNR), resulting in greater range and throughput.
2.3.3 Capacity and Performance Characteristics Table 7 summarizes key upper layer and overall performance characteristics of PureWave Quantum base stations. Note that some features may not be currently available, but are planned for future software releases. In addition, detailed throughput tables for each DL:UL ratios is presented in Appendix B.

WiMAX Subscriber Devices PureWave Quantum 6600 Base Station Figure 6 - Architecture Reference Model. Combining these devices into a network, as shown in Figure 7, an operator can offer fixed and mobile data, voice, video, and countless applications to users wherever they may be.

PureWave Quantum base stations employ up to 6 transmitters and 6 receivers (depending upon the specific model) that work together to achieve unprecedented results in terms of its ability to connect to subscriber devices at greater distances and higher throughputs. All PureWave Quantum Base Stations utilize the IEEE 802.16e Mobile WiMAX standard for wireless communication with subscriber devices.
Outdoor Fixed Subscriber Devices: Outdoor Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) must usually be professionally installed on a house, building, pole, or other elevated location. They are used for fixed communications and usually integrate a set of high-gain directional antennas. A typical outdoor CPE is shown in Figure 8.
Mobile Handsets With the announced and soon-upcoming volume availability of mobile WiMAX handsets, users will have the ability to enjoy full broadband data services with the seamless mobility they are used to on today’s voice-centric cellular networks. 2.4.2 Core network The core network plays an important role in the 802.16e eco-system. Several elements are located in the Network Operation Center (NOC) and we briefly describe each here. 2.4.2.
