Intended user
When the integrated CME is used, multiple users create their own planned areas which
involve the same BSC. Then, users perform configuration operations on the NE in their
own planned area.
When the standalone CME is used, multiple users import the same bcp file to the CME,
and then perform configuration operations on the BSC through the CME.
Ensure that different users manage different BSCs during network planning, that is,
multiple users perform configuration operations on different BSCs by using the CME,
such as create a site, add frequencies, add external cells, or add transmission links.
If different users perform operations on the same BSC, perform the following steps to
avoid data conflicts:
Issue 01 (2010-11-20)
Ensure that users perform configuration operations in turn, that is, after a user
completes the configuration and exports the scripts, another user is notified to start to
perform the configuration.

Creating an MBSC
This section describes the method of completing the initial configuration of the BSC6900 by
using the standalone CME.
Method
Issue 01 (2010-11-20)
The bcp file cannot be obtained on the field, but the BSC
configuration needs to be copied to create another BSC. In
this case, after completing the BSC configuration, the
previous user exports the configuration scripts, packs these
scripts into a zip file, and delivers this zip file to the next
user. Then, the next user imports this zip file and performs
the configuration operations based on this file.

Select the BSC whose configuration is similar to that of the BSC to be created. Then, the
user only needs to make a few modifications on global data and device data.
Select the BSC which accesses the same core network with the BSC to be created. In this
case, the user only needs to make a few modifications on the data related to the signaling
point, A interface, and Gb interface.
The configuration data of different BTSs controlled by different BSCs has little
similarity. Therefore, before BTSs are configured on the typical BSC, export the
configuration data to provide a guide for the configurations of other BSCs.
The configuration data of external cells served by different BSCs has little similarity.
Therefore, before external cells are configured on the typical BSC, export the
configuration data to provide a guide for the configurations of other BSCs.
Select the RNC whose hardware configuration is similar to that of the RNC to be
created. In this case, the user only needs to make a few modifications on global data and
device data.
Select the RNC which accesses the same core network with the RNC to be created. In
this case, the user only needs to make a few modifications on the signaling point data.
Most of Iu interface data cannot be modified. To reduce the data modification workload,
export the configuration data of the typical RNC to provide a guide for the
configurations of other RNCs before the Iu interface is configured.
The configuration data of NodeBs served by different RNCs has little similarity.
Therefore, before BTSs are configured on the typical RNC, export the configuration data
to provide a guide for the configurations of other RNCs.
The configuration data of external cells served by different RNCs has little similarity.
Therefore, before external cells are configured on the typical RNC, export the
configuration data to provide a guide for the configuration of other RNCs.

Creating a BTS
The CME supports the BTS creation in the GUI or by importing the negotiation data file. That
is, the user sets the planning data in the GUI or prepares the planning data in the negotiation
data file and then imports the data.
To reduce the number of parameters to be set during the configuration and ensure the
consistency of parameters of multiple BTSs and cells, the CME provides the templates to
encapsulate parameters that can be reused by multiple BTSs. The user can specify a template
in the GUI or in the negotiation data file and configure the BTS rapidly. If the planning data
overlaps certain parameters, the planning data prevails.
Templates such as the BTS template and cell template may be involved during the BTS
creation.
Customize templates based on the BTS type. At least, each type of BTSs matches a
template, for example, separately define a template for the BTS3900 S444 and BTS3900
S666.
If BTSs of the same type differ in hardware configuration, determine whether to define
more than one template according to the configuration difference, for example, S444
series BTSs.
Issue 01 (2010-11-20)
If there are few inconsistent hardware configurations, only one template is defined for
the creation of S444 series BTSs. Then, the user can adjust the inconsistent
configurations in the GUI.
If there are many inconsistent hardware configurations, more than one template are
defined for S444 series BTSs according to the configuration differences, for example,
templates with the bypasses or without bypasses.

Creating a NodeB
To reduce the number of parameters to be set during the configuration and ensure the
consistency of parameters of multiple NodeBs and cells, the CME provides the templates to
encapsulate parameters that can be reused by multiple NodeBs. The user can specify a
template in the negotiation data file to configure the NodeB rapidly. If the planning data in the

Templates such as the NodeB template and cell template may be involved during the NodeB
creation.
Customize templates based on the NodeB type. At least, each type of NodeBs matches a
template, for example, separately define a template for the BTS3900 3x1 and BTS3900
3x2.
If there are few inconsistent hardware configurations, only one template is defined for
the creation of 3x1 series NodeBs. Then, the user can adjust the inconsistent
configurations in the GUI.
If there are many inconsistent hardware configurations, more than one template are
defined for 3x1 series NodeBs according to the configuration differences.

Configuring an MBTS
This section describes the principle of configuring an MBTS and the relevant parameter
settings.
6.1 MBTS
In an MBTS, each NE has an independent control board. That is, each NE functions
independently and has a complete set of configuration data.
A GU MBTS consists of a GBTS and a NodeB.
A GL MBTS consists of a GBTS and an eNodeB.
Co-cabinet
The NEs that form an MBTS share a common set of electromechanical units, such as the fans,
temperature control unit, power monitoring unit, and environment monitoring unit.
When the user configures or manages the common electromechanical units on one NE, ensure
that the parameter settings on this NE are consistent with those on the other NE. Otherwise,
an alarm is triggered due to conflicting parameter settings on two NEs.
Common devices include:
The parameter settings of the unit in each slot of each subrack in the cabinet must be
consistent between the NEs.
The parameter settings of the unit in each slot of each subrack in the cabinet must be
consistent between the NEs.

Guide to NE Configuration on the CME
The RS485 fieldbus address of the local RS485 electromechanical unit, whose cabinet,
subrack, and slot information is consistent between the NEs, must be consistent between the
NEs. Likewise, the slot, subrack, and cabinet information about the electromechanical unit
whose RS485 fieldbus address is consistent between the NEs must be consistent between the
NEs.
The cabinet, subrack, and slot information about each remote electromechanical unit must not
conflict between the NEs, and each RET antenna number must be unique within the MBTS.
Co-RF
In the MBTS deployed in this mode, the NEs share both common electromechanical units and
the MRFU/MRRU. The software-defined radio (SDR) technology enables the TRXs and
carriers to be transmitted through one MRFU/MRRU in the MBTS.
In co-RF mode, the MBTS adopts the dual-star structure in connecting the physical MRRU to
the NEs. The cabinet, subrack, and slot information about the MRRU on one NE must be
consistent with that on the other NE. The cabinet, subrack, and slot information about the
physical MRRUs not shared by the NodeB and GBTS must be different between the NEs.
The MSR for 3GPP co-RF MBTSs is to be released in July 2010. Currently, the user is
recommended to configure independent transmit channels for GU MBTSs. That is, the NEs in
the MBTS do not share the power amplifier (PA).
An MRFU provides one transmit channel. Therefore, a GU MBTS needs two MRFUs.
An MRRU provides two transmit channels. Currently, the NEs do not share the PA if the
MBTS is configured with an MRRU.
The hardware specifications of the RF modules of an MBTS have limitations in terms of the
number of TRXs and carriers, bandwidth, and power. That is, ensure that the sum of TRXs
and carriers configured for the NEs does not exceed the specifications.
GU MBTS
GL MBTS
UL MBTS
GU MBTSs and GL MBTSs can be deployed in co-cabinet and co-RF modes, which are
typical configuration scenarios. The CME provides functions of configuring these types of
MBTSs. For details about the functions, see the description in later sections.
UL MBTSs can only be deployed in co-cabinet mode, which is a non-typical configuration
scenario. The CME provides consistency check on the parameter settings of common
electromechanical units for this type of MBTSs. For details about the functions, see the
function description of SRAN 3.0.

Guide to NE Configuration on the CME
Creating an MBTS
The CME provides configuration templates that provide the common parameters shared by
the NEs in an MBTS. During MBTS deployment through the GUI or negotiation data files,
the user can specify a suitable template and then complete the configuration of common
electromechanical units of the MBTS quickly. In this way, the user can reduce the number of
input parameters and ensure the consistency of parameters settings between the NEs.
As the interface protocol stack for each RAT is different, the user needs to plan and configure
the transport layer data on each NE separately.
As each NE adopts a different RAT, the user needs to plan and configure the data of the radio
layer on each NE separately.
The CME provides the functions of configuring GU MBTSs and GL MBTSs. The following
section takes the creation of a GU MBTS as an example.

Note: The user does not need to specify the Iub negotiation data file when reconstructing a
GBTS and does not need to specify the GBTS negotiation data file when reconstructing a
NodeB.
The user can also adopt the configuration mode introduced in SRAN 3.0 to deploy MBTSs
through negotiation data files.
Step 1 Import the GBTS negotiation data file.
The user needs to create a GBTS by importing the GBTS negotiation data file.
Step 2 Import the Iub negotiation data file.
The user needs to create a NodeB by importing the Iub negotiation data file.
Step 3 Configure the GBTS and NodeB into an MBTS.
The user needs to configure the GBTS created in step 1 and the NodeB created in step 2 into
an MBTS in the MBTS configuration/browsing window.
Step 4 Check/adjust the common parameters.
The user needs to check the consistency of common parameter settings and adjusts
inconsistent parameter settings.

Adjusting MBTS
Parameter Settings
The CME provides functions of configuring GU MBTSs and GL MBTSs. This section takes
the configuration of a GU MBTS as an example to describe the adjustment of MBTS
parameter settings.
The CME provides an MBTS device panel for configuring common electromechanical units,
which supports the following functions:
Displaying all MBTS units (including all GBTS and NodeB units) and identifying the
common electromechanical units shared by the GBTS and NodeB.
Ensuring the consistency of common parameter settings between the GBTS and NodeB.
The settings of common parameters performed on one NE take effect on both NEs in the
MBTS.
The CME provides data check and adjustment for the RF module of the MBTS deployed in
co-RF mode.
The CME supports the check of the carriers and TRXs on the RF module in terms of
bands, bandwidth, and power and generates an error report on the items incompliant with
the hardware specifications.
The CME provides one-touch adjustment of inconsistent parameter settings. The CME
collects and lists the optional adjustment suggestions for the user to choose and then
completes the adjustment automatically.
