Product Description
Figure 6-2 Logical structure of the RF subsystem
Operating Principles of TX Channel
The RX channel functions as follows:
1. The MTRUs receive the downlink data distributed by the HBBI.
2. The MTRU converts the data into small RF signals at WCDMA transmit band through
pulse-shaping filtering, DUC, DAC, intermediate analog signal amplification, and up-
conversion.
3. The HPA amplifies the small signals.
4. The MTRU sends RF signals to the MAFU.
5. The MAFU duplexer filters the signals, and then the MAFU sends the signals to the antenna
through the feeder.
6. The antenna transmits the signals.
Operating Principles of RX Channel
In two-way receive diversity mode, two ports of the antenna system receive UL signals from
UEs simultaneously. One port is used to receive and transmit signals while the other is used to
receive signals only.
The RX channel functions as follows:
1. Antennas of the two-port antenna system receive weak signals from UEs and send them to
the MAFU through feeders.
2. In MAFUs, the duplexers filter the signals from the receiving-and-transmitting port and
the low noise amplifiers (LNAs) amplify the signals. Then the UL signals are sent to the
MTRU.
3. In MAFUs, the filters process the signals from the receiving-only port and the LNAs
amplify the signals. Then the UL signals are sent to the MTRU.
Product Description 6 RF Subsystem of the BTS3812E/BTS3812A
4. The MTRUs process the signals and send them to the HBBIs after amplification, down-
conversion, ADC, DDC, matched filtering, and DAGC.
NOTE
l If you configure a TMA, it can bypass the DL transmit signals to the antenna. Also, the TMA amplifies
the UL signals and sends them to the MAFUs through the feeder.
l As shown in Figure 6-2, the common TX/RX port is named ANT A, and the RX port is named ANT
B.
l For the single cabinet, two HBBIs are connected to all MTRUs and work in mutual backup mode.
For the two combined cabinets, one HBBI is connected to the MTRUs in the primary cabinet, and
the other HBBI is connected to the MTRUs in the secondary cabinet. The two HBBIs work
independently.
l Two RX channels can be configured with RX diversity function.

About This Chapter
Signal flow of the BTS3812E and BTS3812A is of signal flow of downlink services, signal flow
of uplink services, and signal flow of signaling processing.
13.1 Signal Flow of Downlink Services of the BTS3812E/BTS3812A
The signal flow of downlink services refers to the user plane data sent from the RNC to the UE
through the BTS3812E/BTS3812A. The NUTI/NDTI, HDLP, HBBI, MTRU, and MAFU work
together to process the signals of the downlink services carried on the BTS3812E/BTS3812A.
Based on whether the HDLP is configured, the signal flow of the downlink services falls into
the following categories:
13.2 Signal Flow of Uplink Services of the BTS3812E/BTS3812A
The signal flow of uplink services is the user plane data from the UE through the BTS3812E/
BTS3812A to the RNC. The MAFU, MTRU, HBBI, HULP, NUTI/NDTI work together to

together with other boards, the NMPT controls the signaling processing.
Product Description 13 Signal Flow of the BTS3812E/BTS3812A
13.1 Signal Flow of Downlink Services of the BTS3812E/
BTS3812A
The signal flow of downlink services refers to the user plane data sent from the RNC to the UE
through the BTS3812E/BTS3812A. The NUTI/NDTI, HDLP, HBBI, MTRU, and MAFU work
together to process the signals of the downlink services carried on the BTS3812E/BTS3812A.
Based on whether the HDLP is configured, the signal flow of the downlink services falls into
the following categories:
Signal flow of downlink services when the HDLP is not configured
The HBBI rather than the HDLP should be configured when the downlink traffic is low. Figure
13-1 shows the signal flow of downlink services in this situation.
Figure 13-1 Signal flow of downlink services when the HDLP is not configured
Signal flow of downlink services when the HDLP is configured
The HDLP must be configured when the downlink traffic is high. Figure 13-2 shows the signal
flow of downlink services in this situation.
Product Description
Figure 13-2 Signal flow of downlink services when the HDLP is configured
Description of Signal Flow of Downlink Services
No matter the HDLP is configured or not, the procedure for signal flow of downlink services is
as follows:
1. The NodeB Iub interface board receives signals from the RNC, performs AAL2 switching,
and then transmits the service signals to the HDLP and the downlink baseband processing
part of the HBBI.
2. The HDLP and the downlink baseband processing part of HBBI perform the following
functions:
l Frame Protocol (FP) processing, coding, mapping from transport channels to physical
channels, framing, spreading and modulation, and power control.
l The HBBI collects the processed data and transmits it to the corresponding MTRU.
3. The MTRU:
l performs digital RRC pulse-shaping filtering, insertion filtering, Digital Up Conversion
(DUC), and Digital-Analog Conversion (DAC). Then IF signals are generated.
l RF signals are generated after up-conversion and are transmitted to the MAFU after
filtering and amplification.
4. The MAFU: The duplexer in the MAFU filters the signals and sends them to antenna on
the NodeB through feeders.
13.2 Signal Flow of Uplink Services of the BTS3812E/
BTS3812A
The signal flow of uplink services is the user plane data from the UE through the BTS3812E/
BTS3812A to the RNC. The MAFU, MTRU, HBBI, HULP, NUTI/NDTI work together to
process the signals of the uplink services carried on the BTS3812E/BTS3812A. Based on
whether the HULP is configured, the signal flow of the uplink services falls into the following
categories:
Signal Flow of Uplink Services When the HULP is Configured
The HBBI rather than the HULP should be configured when the uplink traffic is low. Figure

Product Description
Figure 13-4 Signal Flow of Uplink Services When the HULP is Configured
Description of Signal Flow of Uplink Services
No matter the HULP is configured or not, the procedure for the signal flow of uplink services
is as follows:
1. The antenna receives signals from UEs. The signals amplified by the TMA are transmitted
to the MAFU. Note that the TMA can be optionally used to compensate for feeder loss and
to enhance the NodeB receive sensitivity.
2. The MAFU: The MAFU processes UL signals of two channels simultaneously.
l The signals of one channel are processed over the common TX/RX channel and are sent
to the MTRU after being filtered by the duplexer and amplified by the LNA.
l The signals of the other channel are processed over the dedicated RX channel and are
sent to the MTRU after being filtered by the duplexer and amplified by the LNA.
3. The MTRU: The MTRU simultaneously processes UL signals of two channels in the same
way as follows:
(1) The MTRU amplifies and down converts the signals to produce IF signals.
(2) Through the Analog-Digital Conversion (ADC), the IF signals are converted into
digital signals.
(3) After the Digital Down Conversion (DDC), extraction filtering, RRC filtering, and
Digital Automatic Gain Control (DAGC) processing, digital baseband signals are
produced and signal multiplexing is completed. Then the multiplexed signals are
transferred to the HBBI.
4. After the signals are led to HBBI, the UL signals are processed by the HBBI or transmitted
to the corresponding HULP for baseband processing. The procedure for digital baseband
processing is as follows:
(1) The HULP or the HBBI performs access channel demodulation and dedicated channel
demodulation, including multi-path searching, channel estimation, frequency
tracking, and rake combination to obtain despread and demodulated soft decision
symbols.
(2) After convolutional or Turbo decoding, FP scrambling and SAR-to-AAL2 adaptation,
the HULP sends the symbols to the Iub interface board through the ATM bus.
5. The Iub interface board: The Iub interface board performs AAL2 switching on the uplink
service data and transmits the switched data to the RNC through the Iub interface.
13.3 Signal Flow of Signaling Processing of the BTS3812E/
BTS3812A
The signaling of the BTS3812E/BTS3812A is the signaling over the Iub interface. Working
together with other boards, the NMPT controls the signaling processing.
Figure 13-5 shows the signal flow of signaling processing.
Figure 13-5 Signal flow of signaling processing of the NodeB
The signal flow of the signaling processing is as follows:
1. The Iub interface boards receive data from the RNC and forward the data to the NMPT.
2. The NMPT performs decision and processing on the signaling and distributes signaling
processing commands to other boards.
l The NMPT transmits the signaling to HDLPs, HULPs, Iub interface boards, and HBBIs.
l The HBBIs transmit the signaling to the MTRU and MAFU.
3. The boards report the processing result to the NMPT.
l The HDLPs, HULPs, Iub interface boards, and HBBIs directly report the board state to
the NMPT.
l The MTRU and MAFU report the board state to the NMPT through HBBIs.
4. The NMPT obtains the NodeB status and reports the status information to the RNC.

About This Chapter
Topology of the BTS3812E/BTS3812A refers to the transmission topology over the Iub
interface, that is, the topology of the transmission channels between the NodeB and the RNC.
The BTS3812E/BTS3812A supports multiple topologies, such as star, chain, tree, cascading
RRUs, hub NodeB, and co-transmission with 2G equipment, to meet the requirements of
different scenarios.
14.1 Star Topology
As the most commonly used topology, star topology applies to most areas, especially to densely
populated areas.
14.2 Chain Topology
Chain topology applies to the belt-shaped and loosely populated areas, such as highways and
railways.
14.3 Tree Topology
Tree topology applies to complicated networks and sites such as large area with concentrated
hot spots.
14.4 Topology of the NodeB Cascaded with RRUs
The topology of the BTS3812E/BTS3812A cascaded with RRUs can achieve flexible coverage
in such locations as indoor places, underground places, highways, and railways.
14.5 2G/3G Concurrent Transmission
The NodeB supports the fractional ATM and CES, which enables 2G/3G concurrent
transmission and reduces investment on transmission resources.
14.6 Topology of the Hub NodeB
The NodeB supports the topology with the hub NodeB. The hub NodeB converges the
transmission bandwidth of the lower-level NodeBs.
Product Description 14 Topologies of the BTS3812E/BTS3812A
14.1 Star Topology
As the most commonly used topology, star topology applies to most areas, especially to densely
populated areas.
Figure 14-1 shows the topology.
Figure 14-1 Star topology
Advantages of star topology:
l The NodeB is directly connected to the RNC. Therefore, star topology features simplicity,
convenience in maintenance, engineering, and capacity expansion.
l Direct data transmission is built between the NodeB and RNC and signals travel fewer
nodes, which gives higher transmission reliability.
Disadvantages of star topology: Compared with the other networking modes, star topology
requires more transmission resources.
14.2 Chain Topology
Chain topology applies to the belt-shaped and loosely populated areas, such as highways and
railways.
Product Description
Figure 14-2 Chain topology
Advantages: Chain topology can reduce costs in transmission equipment, engineering,
construction, and transmission link lease.
Disadvantages:
l Signals travel through many nodes, so the transmission reliability is low.
l Faults in the upper-level NodeB may affect the operation of the lower-level NodeB(s).
l Each chain may have a maximum of five levels.
14.3 Tree Topology
Tree topology applies to complicated networks and sites such as large area with concentrated
hot spots.
Figure 14-3 Tree topology
Advantages of tree topology: Tree topology requires fewer transmission links than star topology.
Disadvantages:
l Signals travel through many nodes, which causes low transmission reliability and
construction and maintenance difficulties.
l Faults in the upper-level NodeB may affect the operation of the lower-level NodeB(s).
l Capacity expansion is difficult because it may involve major modification to the network
architecture.
l Each tree topology may have a maximum number of five levels.
14.4 Topology of the NodeB Cascaded with RRUs
The topology of the BTS3812E/BTS3812A cascaded with RRUs can achieve flexible coverage
in such locations as indoor places, underground places, highways, and railways.
Figure 14-4 Topology of the BTS3812E/BTS3812A cascaded with RRUs
Advantages : This topology can reduce costs in initial construction and expand the network
coverage. The RRUs feature convenience in network planning and centralized management by
the upper-level NodeB.
Disadvantages: Faults in the upper-level NodeB may affect normal operations of RRUs.
14.5 2G/3G Concurrent Transmission
The NodeB supports the fractional ATM and CES, which enables 2G/3G concurrent
transmission and reduces investment on transmission resources.
Product Description
Fractional ATM
In the fractional ATM mode, some of the 32 timeslots in an E1/T1 link are used for ATM cell
transmission. That is, the ATM cells are mapped to some of the 30 timeslots (timeslots 0 and 16
already reserved) at the TX end and then recovered from those timeslots at the RX end.
The scenarios of 2G/3G co-transmission in fractional ATM mode are as follows:
l The operators have GSM mobile networks. It is possible to use current transmission
network resources to build 3G networks.
l The RNC and NodeB support the fractional ATM.
l The function of timeslot cross connection is provided by the BSC and BTS or external
timeslot cross devices.
Figure 14-5 shows the 2G/3G co-transmission in Fractional ATM mode.
Figure 14-5 2G/3G co-transmission in fractional ATM mode
Advantages: 2G/3G co-transmission helps operators speed up WCDMA construction and
offering services. It saves the transmission resources and reduces expenses in the initial phase
of WCDMA construction.
Disadvantages: The 3G equipment is dependent on the 2G equipment, whose upgrade affects
the stability of 3G services.
CES
The Circuit Emulation Service (CES) uses the technology that emulates the TDM circuit in the
ATM network. The CES enables the narrowband signals to be transmitted in the wideband
system. In CES mode, 2G systems may use the 3G ATM transmission devices to transmit 2G
services.
The scenarios of 2G/3G co-transmission in CES ATM mode are as follows:
l When the transmission resources of the 2G network are insufficient, 2G systems can use
the ATM transmission devices to transmit services through CES mode.
l The RNC and NodeB must support the CES.
Figure 14-6 shows the 2G/3G co-transmission in CES mode.
Figure 14-6 2G/3G co-transmission in CES mode
Advantages of CES mode:
l 2G/3G co-transmission in CES mode reduces costs of transmission and network
maintenance.
l No timeslot cross device is required on the NodeB side, which reduces the costs and
enhances system reliability.
l The transmission over the ATM network enhances the usage of the transmission resources
and ensures the performance of the CS real time services as well as the sequence of the
timeslot data.
Disadvantages of CES mode:
l CES mode applies to mature 3G networks with enough bandwidth on the Iub interface
because it occupies more bandwidth on the interface.
l The CES port resource is limited on the RNC side.
l The 2G equipment is dependent on the 3G equipment, whose performance affects the
stability of the 2G services.
l The encapsulation and decapsulation during the circuit emulation introduces delay and
delay variation, which affect the QoS of the 2G services.
14.6 Topology of the Hub NodeB
The NodeB supports the topology with the hub NodeB. The hub NodeB converges the
transmission bandwidth of the lower-level NodeBs.
The hub NodeB integrates the functions of transmission device. Thus the hub NodeB can
converge the transmission data of the lower-level NodeBs. Figure 14-7 shows the network
topology of hub NodeBs.
Product Description
Figure 14-7 Network topology of the hub NodeB
Advantage: The hub NodeB converges the transmission data of the lower-level NodeBs. Thus
the transmission resources are more effectively used.
Disadvantage: Faults in the hub NodeB may affect the running of the lower-level NodeBs.

and the M2000 are applied. This ensures that the running equipment is free from misoperation.
Environment Monitoring
Typically, the equipment rooms are unmanned and distributed over a vast area. The equipment
in such a room works in a relatively adverse environment, and may incur fires, water immersion,
or flood. To help you handle such emergencies, the NodeB provides a complete environment
monitoring system.
The environment monitoring system provides customized solutions regarding door control,
infrared, smoke, water immersion, humidity, and temperature.
