Abstract
A base configuration of a micro-base transceiver station (MicroBTS) has a minimum volume and at least one add-on module that is connected to the base configuration. The modular construction according to a building-block principle enables the minimal base configuration of a micro-base station to be expanded in a versatile manner by adding add-on modules at any time to enlarge the base station by imparting additional technical features.
Claims7
A base station of a mobile radio communications system comprising electronic assemblies, characterized in that the base station (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) has a basic configuration (1) of a microBTS with minimum volume and at least one add-on module (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) which is connected to the basic configuration (1),
- in that the basic configuration (1) is enclosed by a housing (20, 21) which can be modularly expanded by the housing of the at least one add-on module (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) as a result of which a housing with minimum volume of the base station is formed,
- in that the carrying racks of the electronic assemblies of the basic configuration (1) and of the at least one add-on module (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) are formed in such a manner at the connecting areas that they are firmly but detachably connected to one another by connecting elements of a mechanical and electrical nature.
The base station as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the racks carrying the electronic assemblies of the basic configuration (1) and of the add-on module (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) have an identical cross section and are formed in such a manner at the connecting areas that they are firmly but detachably connected to one another by connecting elements of a mechanical and electrical nature.
The base station as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the basic configuration (1) and each add-on module (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) exhibit separate temperature control.
