Node B eNB

A base transceiver station (BTS) facilitates wireless communication between user equipment like mobile phones and a network using technologies like GSM, CDMA, Wi-Fi, or WiMAX. It is also referred to as a radio base station, node B, or base station. A BTS forms part of the base station subsystem and contains equipment like transceivers, antennas, and filters to serve different frequencies and cell sectors. It is controlled by a base station controller and manages functions like operations, maintenance, software handling, and alarms.

A base transceiver station (BTS) is a piece of equipment that

facilitates wireless communication between user equipment (UE) and a network. UEs are
devices like mobile phones (handsets), WLL phones, computers with wireless
Internet connectivity. The network can be that of any of the wireless communication
technologies like GSM, CDMA, wireless local loop, Wi-Fi, WiMAX or other wide area
network(WAN) technology.
BTS is also referred to as the radio base station (RBS), node B (in 3G Networks) or, simply,
the base station (BS). For discussion of theLTE standard the abbreviation eNB for evolved
node B is widely used.
Though the term BTS can be applicable to any of the wireless communication standards, it is
generally associated with mobile communication technologies like GSM and CDMA. In this
regard, a BTS forms part of the base station subsystem (BSS) developments for system
management. It may also have equipment for encrypting and decrypting communications,
spectrum filtering tools (band pass filters), etc. antennas may also be considered as
components of BTS in general sense as they facilitate the functioning of BTS. Typically a BTS
will have several transceivers (TRXs) which allow it to serve several different frequencies and
different sectors of the cell (in the case of sectorised base stations). A BTS is controlled by a
parent base station controller via the base station control function (BCF). The BCF is
implemented as a discrete unit or even incorporated in a TRX in compact base stations. The
BCF provides an operations and maintenance (O&M) connection to the network management
system (NMS), and manages operational states of each TRX, as well as software handling
and alarm collection. The basic structure and functions of the BTS remains the same
regardless of the wireless technologies
