+Strategies in practical GPL enforcement
+
+Enforcement of copyleft licenses like the GNU GPL has always been a
+somewhat controversial topic. Some people are not in favor of
+enforcement at all (but then, why choose the GPL and not a permissive
+license?). Other people have less inhibitions in enforcing the
+license. But then this raises the next questions? Enforcement using
+which strategy? Enforcement using which methods? The Linux Kernel
+developer community has recently re-fueled that debate on the
+ksummit-discuss mailing list.
+
+Ultimately, most projects and developers are looking for the
+downstream developers and companies to participate in a collaborative
+development model. The copyleft principle is just a legal "hack" to
+codify some part of that based on copyright. As a result, license
+compliance is not an end in itself, but the very bare legal minimum of
+what needs to be done when engaging in (particularly
+corporate/commercial) re-use of Free Software.
+
+This talk will look at the different (GPL) license enforcement
+approaches and present their advantages and disadvantages.

+Path Loss and Link Budget
+=========================
+Harald Welte
+:copyright: Harald Welte (Liense: CC-BY-SA)
+:backend: slidy

+
+[[rf-path-loss]]
+== Path Loss
+
+A fundamental concept in planning any type of radio communications link
+is the concept of 'Path Loss'. Path Loss describes the amount of
+signal loss (attenuation) between a receive and a transmitter.
+
+As GSM operates in frequency duplex on uplink and downlink, there is
+correspondingly an 'Uplink Path Loss' from MS to BTS, and a 'Downlink
+Path Loss' from BTS to MS. Both need to be considered.
+
+It is possible to compute the path loss in a theoretical ideal
+situation, where transmitter and receiver are in empty space, with no
+surfaces anywhere nearby causing reflections, and with no objects or
+materials in between them. This is generally called the 'Free Space
+Path Loss'.
+
+[[rf-path-loss]]
+== Path Loss
+
+Estimating the path loss within a given real-world terrain/geography is
+a hard problem, and there are no easy solutions. It is impacted, among
+other things, by
+
+ * the height of the transmitter and receiver antennas
+ * whether there is line-of-sight (LOS) or non-line-of-sight (NLOS)
+ * the geography/terrain in terms of hills, mountains, etc.
+ * the vegetation in terms of attenuation by foliage
+ * any type of construction, and if so, the type of materials used in
+ that construction, the height of the buildings, their distance, etc.
+ * the frequency (band) used. Lower frequencies generally expose better
+ NLOS characteristics than higher frequencies.
+
+The above factors determine on the one hand side the actual attenuation
+of the radio wave between transmitter and receiver. On the other
+hand, they also determine how many reflections there are on this path,
+causing so-called 'Multipath Fading' of the signal.
+
+== Radio Propagation Models
+
+Over decades, many different radio propagation models have been designed
+by scientists and engineers. They might be based on empirical studies
+condensed down into relatively simple models, or they might be based on
+ray-tracing in a 3D model of the terrain.
+
+Several companies have developed (expensive, proprietary) simulation
+software that can help with this process in detail. However, the
+results of such simulation also depend significantly on the availability
+of precise 3D models of the geography/terrain as well as the building
+structure in the coverage area.
+
+In absence of such simulation software and/or precise models, there are
+several models that can help, depending on the general terrain:
+
+== Common Path Loss Models
+
+[[path-loss-models]]
+.List of common path loss models
+[options="header",cols="20%,20%,20%,40%"]
+|===
+|Type|Sub-Type|Bands|Name
+|Terrain|-|850, 900, 1800, 1900|ITU terrain model
+|Rural|Foliage|850, 900, 1800, 1900|One woodland terminal model

+|===
+
+In <<path-loss-models>> you can see a list of commonly-used path loss
+models. They are typically quite simple equations which only require
+certain parameters like the distance of transmitter and receiver as well
+as the antenna height, etc. No detailed 3D models of the terrain are
+required.
+
+== RF Link
+
+image::link_budget.png[]
+
+[[rf-link-budget]]
+== Link Budget
+
+The link budget consists of the total budget of all elements in the
+telecommunication system between BTS and MS (and vice-versa).
+
+This includes
+
+* antenna gains on both sides
+* coaxial cabling between antenna and receiver/transmitter
+* losses in duplexers, splitters, connectors, etc
+* gain of any amplifiers (PA, LNA)
+* path loss of the radio link between the two antennas
+
+== Simplified Link Budget Equation
+
+The simplified link budget equations looks like this:
+
+ Rx Power (dBm) = Tx Power (dBm) + Gains (dB) − Losses (dB)
+
+Gains is the sum of all gains, including
+
+* Gain of the transmitter antenna
+* Gain of the receiver antenna
+* Gain of any PA (transmitter) or LNA (receiver)
+
+Losses is the sum of all losses, including
+
+* Loss of any cabling and/or connectors on either side
+* Loss of any passive components like duplexers/splitters on either side
+* Path Loss of the radio link
+
+== Link Budget Equation vs. Path Loss
+
+* Using the Link Budget equation and resolving it for the path loss will
+ give you an idea of how much path loss on the radio link you can afford
+ while still having a reliable radio link.
+
+* Resolving the path loss into a physical distance based on your path
+ loss model will then give you an idea about the coverage area that
+ you can expect.
+
+NOTE:: The Rx Power substituted in the Link budget equation is
+determined by the receiver sensitivity. It is customary to add some
+some safety margin to cover for fading.

+
+== Introduction into RF Electronics
+
+Setup and Operation of a GSM network is not only about the configuration
+and system administration on the network elements and protocol stack,
+but also includes the physical radio transmission part.
+
+Basic understanding about RF (Radio Frequency) Electronics is key to
+achieving good performance of the GSM network.
+
+[[rf-coaxial-cabling]]
+=== Coaxial Cabling
+
+Coaxial cables come in many different shapes, diameters, physical
+construction, dielectric materials, and last but not least brands and
+types.
+
+There are many parameters that might be relevant to your particular
+installation, starting from mechanical/environmental properties such as
+temperature range, UV resilience, water/weatherproofness, flammability,
+etc.
+
+For the subject of this manual, we will not look at those mechanical
+properties, but look at the electrical properties instead.
+
+The prime electrical parameters of a coaxial cable are:
+
+* its attenuation over frequency and length
+* its maximum current/power handling capability
+* its propagation velocity (ignored here)
+* its screening efficiency (ignored here)
+
+==== Coaxial Cable Attenuation
+
+The attenuation of a coaxial cable is given in dB per length, commonly
+in 'dB per 100m'. This value changes significantly depending on the
+frequency of the signal transmitted via the cable. Cable manufacturers
+typically either provide tables with discrete frequency values, or
+graphs plotting the attenuation per 100m (x axis) over the frequency (y
+axis).
+
+FIXME: Example.
+
+So in order to estimate the loss of a coaxial cable, you need to
+
+. determine the frequency at which you will use the cable, as determined
+ by the GSM frequency band of your BTS. Make sure you use the highest
+ frequency that might occur, which is typically the upper end of the
+ transmit band, see <<gsm-bands>>
+. determine the attenuation of your cable per 100m at the given
+ frequency (check the cable data sheet)
+. scale that value by the actual length of the cable
+
+A real cable always has connectors attached to it, please add some
+additional losses for the connectors that are attached. 0.05 dB per
+connector is a general rule of thumb for the frequencies used in GSM.
+
+FIXME: Example computation
+
+As you can see very easily, the losses incurred in coaxial cables
+between your antenna and the BTS can very quickly become significant
+factors in your overall link budget (and thus cell coverage). This is
+particularly relevant for the uplink power budget. Every dB you loose
+in the antenna cable between antenna and the BTS receiver translates
+into reduced uplink coverage.
+
+Using the shortest possible coaxial cabling (e.g. by mounting the BTS
+high up on the antenna tower) and using the highest-quality cabling are
+the best strategies to optimize
+
+WARNING: If you plan to assemble the coaxial connectors yourself, please
+make sure you ensure to have the right skills for this. Properly
+assembling coaxial connectors (whether solder-type or crimp-type)
+requires precision tools and strict process as described by the
+manufacturer. Any mechanical imprecision of connector assembly will
+cause significant extra signal attenuation.
+
+==== Checking coaxial cables
+
+If you would like to check the proper operation of a coaxial cable,
+there are several possible methods available:
+
+* The more expensive method would be to use a 'RF Network Analyzer' to
+ measure the S11/S12 parameters or the VSWR of the cable.
+* Another option is to use a TDR (time domain reflectometer) to
+ determine the VSWR. The TDR method has the added advantage that you
+ can localize any damage to the cable, as such damage would cause
+ reflections that can be converted into meters cable length from the
+ port at which you are testing the cable. Mobile, battery-powered TDR
+ for field-use in GSM Site installation are available from various
+ vendors. One commonly used series is the 'Anritsu Site Master'.
+
+
+[[rf-coaxial-connectors]]
+=== Coaxial Connectors
+
+A coaxial connector is a connector specifically designed for mounting to
+coaxial cable. It facilitates the removable / detachable connection of
+a coaxial cable to a RF device.
+
+There are many different types of coaxial connectors on the market.
+
+The most important types of coaxial connectors in the context of GSM
+BTSs are:
+
+* The 'N type' connector
+* The 'SMA type' connector.
+* The '7/16' type connector
+
+FIXME: Images
+
+The above connectors are tightened by a screw-on shell. Each connector
+type has a specific designated nominal torque by which the connector
+shall be tightened. In case of uncertainty, please ask your connector
+supplier for the nominal torque.
+
+NOTE: Always ensure the proper mechanical condition of your RF
+connectors. Don't use RF connectors that are contaminated by dust or
+dirt, or which show significant oxidization, bent contacts or the like.
+Using such connectors poses significant danger of unwanted signal loss,
+and can in some cases even lead to equipment damage (e.g. in case of RF
+power at PA output being reflected back into the PA).
+
+
+[[rf-duplexers]]
+=== Duplexers
+
+A GSM BTS (or GSM TRX inside a BTS) typically exposes separate ports for
+Rx (Receive) and Tx (Transmit). This is intentionally the case, as
+this allows the users to add e.g. additional power amplifiers, filters
+or other external components into the signal path. Those components
+typically operate on either the receive or the transmit path.
+
+You could now connect two separate antennas to the two ports (one for
+Rx, one for Tx). This is commonly done in indoor installations with
+small rubber-type antennas directly attached to the BTS connectors.
+
+In outdoor installations, you typically (want to) use a single Antenna
+for Rx and Tx. This single antenna needs to be connected to the BTS
+via a device that is called 'Duplexer'.
+
+The 'Duplexer' is actually a frequency splitter/combiner, which is
+specifically tuned to the uplink and downlink frequencies of the GSM
+band in which you operate the BTS. As such, it has one port that passes
+only uplink frequencies between the antenna and that port, as well as
+another port that passes only downlink frequencies between antenna and
+that port.
+

+
+WARNING: *The ports of a duplexer are not interchangeable*. Always make
+sure that you use the Rx port of the duplexer with the Rx port of the
+BTS, and vice-versa for Tx.
+
+
+[[rf-pa]]
+=== RF Power Amplifiers
+
+A RF Power Amplifier (PA) is a device that boosts the transmit power of
+your RF signal, the BTS in your case.
+
+RF power amplifiers come in many different characteristics. Some of the
+key characteristics are:
+
+Frequency range::
+ A PA is typically designed for a specific frequency range. Only
+ signals inside that range will be properly amplified
+Gain in dB::
+ This tells you how many dB the power amplifier will increase your
+ signal. `Pout = Pin + Gain`
+Maximum Output Power::
+ This indicates the maximum absolute output power. For example, if the
+ maximum output power is 40 dBm, and the gain is 10dBm, then an input
+ signal of 30dBm will render the maximum output power. An input signal
+ of 20dBm would subsequently generate only 30dBm of output power.
+Efficiency::
+ The efficiency determines how much electrical power is consumed for
+ the given output power. Often expressed as Power Added Efficiency
+ (PAE).
+
+WARNING: If you add external power amplifiers to a GSM BTS or any other
+transmitter, this will invalidate the regulatory approval of the BTS.
+It is your responsibility to ensure that the combination of BTS and PA
+still fulfills all regulatory requirements, for example in terms of
+out-of-band emissions, spectrum envelope, phase error, linearity, etc!

+
+
+=== Antennas
+
+The Antenna is responsible for converting the electromagnetic waves
+between the coaxial cable and the so-called 'air interface' and
+vice-versa. The properties of an antenna are always symmetric for both
+transmission and reception.
+
+Antennas come in many different types and shapes. Key characteristics
+distinguishing antennas are:
+
+Antenna Gain::
+ Expresses how much more efficient the antenna converts between cable
+ and air interface. Can be expressed in dB compared to a theoretical
+ isotropic radiator (dBi) or compared to a dipole antenna (dBd). Gain
+ usually implies directivity.
+
+Frequency Band(s)::
+ Antennas typically have only a relatively narrow band (or multiple
+ narrow bands at which they radiate efficiently. In general, the
+ higher the antenna gain, the lower the usable frequency band of the
+ antenna.
+
+Directivity::
+ Antennas radiate the energy in all three dimensions.
+
+Mechanical Size::
+ Mechanical Size is an important factor depending on how and where the
+ antenna is mounted. Size also relates to weight and wind-load.
+
+Wind Load::
+ Expresses how much mechanical load the antenna will put on its
+ support structure (antenna mast).
+
+Connector Type::
+ Your cabling will have to use a compatible connector for the antenna.
+ Outdoor antennas typically use the 7/16 type connector or an N type
+ connector. Indoor antennas either N type or SMA type.
+
+Environmental Rating::
+ Indoor antennas cannot be used outdoor, as they do not offer the level
+ of protection against dust and particularly water / humidity /
+ corrosion.
+
+Down-tilt Capability::
+ Particularly sector antennas are typically installed with a fixed or
+ (mechanically / electrically) variable down-tilt in order to limit the
+ radius/horizon of the antenna footprint and avoid excess interference
+ with surrounding cells.
+
+VSWR::
+ The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio indicates how well the antenna is
+ matched to the coaxial cable, and how much of the to-be-transmitted
+ radio signal is actually converted to radio waves versus reflected
+ back on the RF cable towards the transmitter. An ideal antenna has a
+ VSWR of 1 (sometimes written 1:1). Real antennas are typically in the
+ range of 1.2 to 2.
+
+Side Lobes::
+ A directional antenna never radiates only in one direction but always
+ has certain side lobes pointing outside of the main direction of the
+ antenna. The number and strength of side lobes differ from antenna
+ to antenna model.
+
+NOTE: Whenever installing antennas it is important to understand that
+any metallic or otherwise conductive object in their vicinity will
+inevitably alter the antenna performance. This can affect the radiation
+pattern, but also de-tune the antenna and shift its frequency band
+outside the nominal usable frequency band. It is thus best to mount
+antennas as far as practically possible from conductive elements within
+their radiation pattern
+
+
+==== Omni-directional Antennas
+
+Omni-directional antennas are typically thin long dipole antennas covered
+with fiberglass. They radiate with equal strength in all directions and
+thus result in a more or less circular cell footprint (assuming flat
+terrain). The shape of the radiation pattern is a torus (donut) with
+the antenna located in the center of that torus.
+
+Omni-directional antennas come with a variety of gains, typically from 0
+dBd to 3 dBd, 6 dBd and sometimes 9 dBd. This gain is achieved by
+compressing the radiation torus in the vertical plane.
+
+Sometimes, Omni-directional antennas can be obtained with a fixed
+down-tilt to limit the cell radius.
+
+
+==== Sector Antennas
+
+Sector antennas are used in sectorized cell setups. Sector antennas can
+have significantly higher gain than omni-directional antennas.
+
+Instead of mounting a single BTS with an omni-directional antenna to a
+given antenna pole, multiple BTSs with each one sector antenna are
+mounted to the same pole. This results in an overall larger radius due
+to the higher gain of the sector antennas, and also in an overall
+capacity increase, as each sector has the same capacity as a single
+omni-directional cell. And all that benefit still requires only a
+single physical site with antenna pole, power supply, back-haul cabling,
+etc.
+
+Experimentation and simulation has shown that typically the use of three
+sectors with antennas of an opening angle of 65 degrees results in the
+most optimal combination for GSM networks. If more sectors are being
+deployed, there is a lot of overlap between the sectors, and the amount
+of hand-overs between the BTSs is increased.
+
+
+
+[[rf-lna]]
+=== RF Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)
+
+A RF Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is a device that amplifies the weak
+received signal. In general, LNAs are combined with band filters, to
+ensure that only those frequencies within the receive band are
+amplified, and out-of-band interferers are filtered out. A duplexer
+can already be a sufficient band-filter, depending on its
+characteristics.
+
+The use of a LNA typically only makes sense if you
+. have very long and/or lossy coaxial cables from your antenna to the
+ BTS, and
+. can mount the duplexer + LNA close to the antenna, so that the
+ amplification happens before the long/lossy coaxial line to the BTS
+
+Key characteristics of a LNA are:
+
+Frequency range::
+ A LNA is typically designed for a specific frequency range. Only
+ signals inside that range will be properly amplified
+Gain in dB::
+ This tells you how many dB the low noise amplifier will increase your
+ signal. `Pout = Pin + Gain`
+Maximum Input Power::
+ This indicates the maximum RF power at the PA input before saturation.
+Noise Figure::
+ This indicates how much noise this LNA will add to the signal. This
+ noise will add to the interference as seen by the receiver.

+----
+
+As any LNA will add noise to the signal, it is generally discouraged to
+add them to the system. Instead, we recommend you to mount the entire
+BTS closer to the antenna, thereby removing the losses created by
+lengthy coaxial wire. The power supply lines and Ethernet connection to
+the BTS are far less critical when it comes to cable length.
+
+
+== Introduction into GSM Radio Planning
+
+The main focus of the manual you are reading is to document the
+specifics of the Osmocom GSM implementation in terms of configuration,
+system administration and monitoring. That's basically all on the
+software part.
+
+However, successful deployment and operation of GSM networks depends to
+a large extent on the proper design on the radio frequency (RF) side,
+including the right cabling, duplexers, antennas, etc.
+
+Planning and implementing GSM deployment is a science (or art) in
+itself, and in most cases it is best to consult with somebody who has
+existing experience in the field.
+
+There are three parts to this:
+
+GSM Radio Network Planning::
+ This includes an analysis of the coverage area, its terrain/geography,
+ the selection of the right sites for your BTSs, the antenna height, a
+ path loss estimate. As a result of that process, it will be clear
+ what amount of transmit power, antenna gain, cable length/type, etc.
+ you should use to obtain the intended coverage.
+GSM Site Installation::
+ This is the execution of what has been determined in the previous
+ step. The required skills are quite different, as this is about
+ properly assembling RF cables and connections, duplexers, power
+ amplifiers, antennas, etc.
+Coverage testing::
+ This is typically done by driving or walking in the newly-deployed GSM
+ site, and checking of the coverage is as it was expected.
+
+NOTE: This chapter can only give you the briefest overview about the
+process used, and cannot replace the experience and skill of somebody
+with GSM RF planning and site deployment.
+
+[[rf-radio-net-plan]]
+=== GSM Radio Network Planning
+
+In GSM Radio Network Planning, the number and location of sites as well
+as type of required equipment is determined based on the coverage
+requirements.
+
+For the coverage of a single BTS, this is a process that takes into
+consideration:
+
+* the terrain that needs to be covered
+* the type of mobile stations to be supported, and particularly the
+ speed of their movement (residential, pedestrians, trains, highways)
+* the possible locations for cell sites, where BTSs and Antennas can be
+ placed, as well as the possible antenna mounting height
+* the equipment choices available, including
+** type and capabilities of BTS. The key criteria here is
+ the downlink transmit power in dBm, and the uplink receive
+ sensitivity.
+** antenna models, including gain, radiation pattern, etc.
+** RF cabling, including the key aspect of attenuation per length
+** RF duplexers, splitting the transmit and receive path
+** power amplifiers (PAs), increasing the transmit power
+** low noise amplifiers (LNAs), amplifying the received signal
+
+For coverage of an actual cellular network consisting of neighboring
+cells, this process also must take into consideration aspects of
+'frequency planning', which is the allocation of frequencies (ARFCNs) to
+the individual cells within the network. As part of that, interference
+generated by frequency re-use of other (distant) cells must be taken
+into consideration. The details of this would go beyond this very
+introductory text. There is plenty of literature on this subject
+available.
+
+[[rf-db]]
+=== The Decibel (dB) and Decibel-Milliwatt (dBm)
+
+RF engineering heavily depends on the Decibel (dB) as a unit to express
+attenuation (losses) or amplification (gain) impacted on radio signals.
+
+The dB is a logarithmic unit, it is used to express the ratio of two
+values of physical quantity. You can thus not express an absolute value
+in dB, only relative.
+
+NOTE: *Relative loss* (cable, connector, duplexer, splitter) *or gain*
+(amplifiers) are power *is expressed in dB*.
+
+In order to express an absolute value, you need to use a unit like
+'dBm', which is referencing a power of 1 mW (milli-Watt).
+
+NOTE: *Absolute power* like transmitter output power or receiver input
+power *is expressed in dBm*.
