3 Working Principle and Functions of the BBU
The BBU is a baseband processing unit. It processes the baseband signals of the base station.
Working Principle
BBU consists of the following subsystems: baseband subsystem, power and mechanical
subsystem, transmission subsystem, interconnection subsystem, main control subsystem,
monitoring subsystem, and clock subsystem. These subsystem consist of different modules.
l The baseband subsystem consists of the baseband processing unit.
l The cabinet subsystem consists of the backplane, fan, and power modules.
l The transmission subsystem consists of the main control transmission unit and transmission
extension unit.
l The interconnection subsystem consists of the main control transmission unit
(a)
and
infrastructure interconnection unit.
l The main control subsystem consists of the main control transmission unit.
l The monitoring subsystem consists of the power module and monitoring unit.
l The clock subsystem consists of the main control transmission unit and satellite card and
clock unit.
NOTE
(a) In the interconnection subsystem, the UMPT is used as a main control transmission unit.
The following figure shows the working principle of a BBU.
BBU3900
Hardware Description 3 Working Principle and Functions of the BBU

Figure 3-1 Working principle of a BBU

Function
The BBU performs the following functions:
l Provides ports to connect to the transmission equipment, RF modules, USB devices
(a)
,
external reference clock, and LMT or U2000 to provide signal transmission, perform
automatic software upgrade, receive reference clock, and support BBU maintenance on the
LMT or U2000.
l Manages the entire base station system, including the processing of uplink and downlink
data, signaling processing, resource management, and operation and maintenance.
NOTE
a: The security of the USB port is ensured by encryption, and the USB port can be shut down using
commands. The USB commission port is used for commissioning the base station rather than configuring
and exporting information of the base station.

NOTE
l In a UMTS single-mode base station, the UMPT and WMPT cannot be configured in the same BBU.
l The baseband processing board in UMTS mode configured in only slot 3 or 2 can be connected CPRI
cables. The UBBPd_U, WBBPd, or WBBPf is preferentially configured in slot 3 or 2. The priority of
the three kinds of boards is UBBPd_U > WBBPf > WBBPd.
l If five or more baseband processing boards working in UMTS mode are required, ensure that WBBP
or UBBPd_U boards are installed in both slots 2 and 3. At least one of the boards in slots 2 and 3 is
UBBPd_U, WBBPd, or WBBPf.
l If both slots 2 and 3 are occupied by the WBBPa or WBBPb boards, exchange boards to ensure that
the UBBPd_U, WBBPd, or WBBPf is configured in slot 3 or 2. The UBBPd_U, WBBPd, or WBBPf
is preferentially configured in slot 3.

4.2.3 BBU Slot Assignment in an LTE FDD/LTE TDD Base Station
This section describes the principles for BBU3900 slot assignment in an LTE FDD or LTE TDD
single-mode base station.
The principles for BBU slot assignment in an LTE TDD base station are the same as those in an
LTE FDD base station. The following figure shows the principles for BBU slot assignment in
an LTE FDD base station.

4.2.4 BBU Slot Assignment in a GU or G*U Base Station
This section describes the principles for BBU3900 slot assignment in a GU or G*U base station.
BBU Slot Assignment in a GU Base Station
NOTE
l The GU base station is a separate-MPT GSM/UMTS dual-mode base station. In a GU base station, a
single BBU is configured with two main control boards, in which one works in GSM mode and the
other works in UMTS mode.
l The G*U base station is a co-MPT GSM/UMTS dual-mode base station. In a G*U base station, one
main control board in a single BBU can work in GSM and UMTS dual-mode.
The following figure shows the BBU slot assignment in a GU base station.

4.2.5 BBU Slot Assignment in a GL or G*L Base Station
This section describes the principles for BBU3900 slot assignment in a GL or G*L base station.
BBU3900

BBU Slot Assignment in a GL Base Station
NOTE
l The GL base station is a separate-MPT GSM/LTE dual-mode base station. In a GL base station, a single
BBU is configured with two main control boards, in which one works in GSM mode and the other
works in LTE mode.
l The G*L base station is a co-MPT GSM/LTE dual-mode base station. In a G*L base station, one main
control board in a single BBU can work in GSM and LTE dual-mode.
The following figure shows the BBU slot assignment.

This section describes the principles for BBU3900 slot assignment in a triple-mode base station.
BBU Slot Assignment in a Triple-Mode Base Station
NOTE
l A GU+L base station is configured with two BBUs, in which one works in GU mode, the other works
in LTE mode.
l A G[U*L] base station is configured with one BBU, which works in triple-mode. The BBU is
configured with two main control boards, in which one (GTMU or GTMUb) works in GSM mode, and
the other (UMPT) works in UMTS and LTE dual-mode.
l A G*U*L base station is configured with one BBU, which supports triple modes using one UMPT.
The following table describes the principles for BBU slot assignment in a triple-mode base
station in various application scenarios.

5 Boards in a BBU
About This Chapter
A BBU includes the following boards: the main processing board, baseband processing board,
transmission extension board, fan module, power module, monitoring module, clock board with
a satellite card, baseband extension board, and infrastructure interconnection board.
5.1 UMPT
The universal main processing and transmission unit (UMPT) can be installed in a BBU3900 or
BBU3910.
5.2 WMPT
The WCDMA main processing and transmission unit (WMPT) can be installed in a BBU3900
to support UMTS mode.
5.3 GTMU
The GSM transmission and timing and management unit (GTMU) can be installed in a BBU3900
to support GSM mode. The GSM transmission and timing and management unit type b (GTMUb)
can be installed in a BBU3900 or BBU3910 to support GSM mode.
5.4 LMPT
The LTE main processing and transmission unit (LMPT) can be installed in a BBU3900 to
support LTE mode.
5.5 UBBP
The universal baseband processing unit (UBBP) can be configured in a BBU3900 or BBU3910.
5.6 WBBP
The WCDMA baseband processing unit (WBBP) can be installed in a BBU3900 to support
UMTS mode.
5.7 LBBP
The LTE baseband process unit (LBBP) can be installed in a BBU3900 to support LTE mode.
5.8 FAN

l Manages configuration and devices, monitors performance, and processes signaling.
l Processes signaling and manages resources for other boards in the BBU.
l Provides the USB port, transmission port, maintenance port to provide signal transmission,
perform automatic software upgrade, and support BBU maintenance on the LMT or
U2000.

In a GU dual-mode base station where the GTMU is connected to port on the WMPT or UMPT through
ports on their panels, part of CPRI bandwidth of UMTS mode is reserved for a TX and an RX channel of
GSM mode in case that bandwidths of GSM mode are insufficient. As a result, the number of cells supported
by UMTS mode is reduced.

NOTE
l "Antenna Configuration" lists the maximum configurations supported by various types of a baseband
processing board. For example, the LBBPc supports the maximum configuration of 3x10 MHz 4T4R,
and therefore supports any of the following configurations: 3x1.4 MHz 4T4R, 3x3 MHz 4T4R, and
3x5 MHz 4T4R.
l As long as the maximum antenna configuration is not exceeded, different cells support different antenna
configurations. For example, if an LBBPd2 supports the 3x20 MHz 2T2R antenna configuration, the
three cells connected to the LBBPc can use the following antenna configurations: 2T2R, 2T2R, and
1T1R.
l Boards with the same antenna configuration support combinations of different bandwidth as long as
the total bandwidth does not exceed the maximum bandwidth supported by the board. For example, if
an LBBPc supports the 3x20 MHz 2T2R antenna configuration, the three cells connected to the LBBPc
can use any of the following antenna configurations: 1.4 MHz 2T2R, 3 MHz 2T2R, 5 MHz 2T2R, 10
MHz 2T2R, 15 MHz 2T2R, and 20 MHz 2T2R.
l The LBBP supports CPRI convergence when the site is configured with any of the following RF
modules: RRU3221, RRU3240, RRU3828, RRU3829, RRU3928, RRU3929, LRFUe, MRFUd,
RRU3229, RRU3841, RRU3942, RRU3642, RRU3832, RRU3838, and RRU3268. The CPRI
convergence of the LBBP must comply with the following principles:
l In LBBPc+LBBPc CPRI convergence mode, the CPRI convergence is allowed only between two
LBBPc boards, and one LBBPc board must be configured in slot 2 or 3.
l In LBBPc+LBBPc CPRI convergence mode, the CPRI convergence is allowed only from multiple
LBBPc boards to one LBBPd board, and only the CPRI ports on the LBBPd in slot 2 or 3 can
connect to RF units.
l in LTE TDD scenarios, the LBBPc cannot serve as a converging board and only can be a converged
board.
