Hi Neels,
I checked RF and BB hopping with my MetroSite with my patch added, and
they both seem to work, multi-TRX was tested a couple days ago, that
also works with 2 TRXes. Obviously I did not tested every possible
hopping scenarios, but in both cases the node manager reported the
correct hopping states and I also checked with a spectrum analyzer.
This means that either my UltraSite still has some issues, or that the
config logic for it needs a bit of tuning. The one difference I have
noticed is that the MetroSite does starts the RSL LAPD when the TRXes
reach a configured state, while the UltraSite needs the BSC to start
the RSL LAPD links even after the TRXes reach the same configured
state. FYI, I am running exactly the same BTS SW release on both units
(latest LTS ever released by the vendor), so they should not behave
differently from a pure SW point of view.
Anyway, at this point in time I don't see any particular issues that
indicates a BSC problem. One feature missing is the ability to
configure sectors (Nokia calls a sector a "BTS" while the base station
is called "BCF"). My question is, do we have any BTS type that has
sector configuration support so I can take a look how this was done
(if any) ?
