Features of BTS3900

Advanced Platform-Based Architecture

Based on the unified hardware platform, the BTS3900 supports three working modes: GSM
mode, GSM+UMTS dual mode, and UMTS mode through configuration of different software.
In addition, the BTS3900 supports smooth evolution to the Long-Term Evolution (LTE).

The RF module integrates the duplexer and the Transceiver Unit (TRU), thus enhancing integrity
of RF parts and meeting future requirements for a compact, high-efficiency, and low-cost base
station.

Supports whole frequency band of PGSM 900MHz, high 45MHz frequency band and low 45MHz
frequency band of DCS1800MHz, high 40MHz frequency band and low 40MHz frequency band
of 1900MHz.

High Capacity

When the BTS3900 works in GSM mode, a BBU3900 supports the maximum cell configuration
of S24/24/24.

When the BTS3900 works in GSM+UMTS dual mode, a BBU3900 supports the maximum cell
configuration of GSM S4/4/4 + UMTS S2/2/2 or GSM S5/5/5 + UMTS S1/1/1.

When the BTS3900 works in UMTS mode, a BBU3900 supports 24 cells, 1,536 CEs in the
uplink, 1,536 CEs in the downlink, and the maximum configuration of 3 x 8.

Features of BTS3900

Transmission Sharing

Sharing the CPRI port. The CPRI data of the GSM and UMTS networks can be multiplexed on the
same optical cable, which reduces the quantity of CPRI ports.

Supports co-transmission between the GSM and the UMTS. Sharing transmission resources
between the Abis and the Iub interfaces.

Flexible Clock Synchronization Modes

Upper synchronization clock, extract clock from Abis/Iub interface.

Extract clock from GPS (Global Positioning System).

Synchronization with the IP clock, a highly cost-effective clock solution, which can be obtained
through software upgrade without additional hardware.

Clock phase lock, tracing, and memory functions and free-run synchronization mode. When the
clock operates in free-run mode, the system can keep operational for at least 90 days at normal
temperature.

Features of BTS3900

Networking Capability

The BTS3900 supports multiple network topologies, such as star, tree, chain, and ring
topologies.

Supports Flex Abis networking.

When working in UMTS mode, the BTS3900 supports ATM and IP dual stack to protect
operators' early investment in ATM transport.

Supports optimized transmission on the Abis interface.

MRFU Module
The MRFU is a multi-carrier RF filtering unit. One MRFU supports a maximum
of 6 carriers in GSM mode, 4 carriers in UMTS mode, 6 carriers in GSM+UMTS
mode.
Functions:

Implements

the direct frequency conversion technique in the transmit channel, modulates


the baseband signals to GSM RF signals; then, sends the signals to the antenna for
transmission through the duplex filter after filtering, amplifying, and combining the RF
signals. The combining can be performed as required.
Receives RF signals from the antenna and performs down-conversion, amplification,
analog-to-digital conversion, digital down-conversion, matched filtering.
Provides power sharing. Improves the network coverage, reduces the interference and
power consumption and save the device cost.
Provides power control, reverse power detection.
Provides frequency synthesis and loopback test.
Generates the CPRI clock, recovers the CPRI clock of lost synchronization, and detects
alarms.
Provides the function of DPD/BPD.

Configuration principle of MRFU

Basic configuration principle:

One MRFU supports a maximum cell configuration of S6.

A single BTS3900 provides a maximum of 36 carriers with the maximum cell configuration of
S12/12/12. In addition, a site configured with the BTS3900s can support a maximum of 72
carriers with the maximum cell configuration of S24/24/24.

One MRFU does not serve two cells. Each cell with a single antenna can be configured with a
maximum of two MRFUs.

MRFU supports 1-way TX and 2-way RX.

Star, chain, and ring, are supported between the BBU and the MRFUs.

When star and chain topology is adopted between the BBU and MRFUs, the MRFU supports
3 levels of cascading in a chain and thus the BBU supports a maximum of 18 (6 x 3) MRFUs.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.

HUAWEI Confidential

Configuration principle Base on Limitation


of MRFU

Assign frequency:

If the frequency interval of a cell is outside the range of 15MHz, 2 MRFUs can be considered
to be used and the range of frequency for each MRFU also should be within15MHz.

Generally, it is suggested that the number of carriers should be set to 2 MRFUs averagely if 2
MRFUs are used in a cell. For example: S8 should be configured as 4+4 when 2 MRFUs are
used. S7 should be configured as 3+4 when 2 MRFUs are used. If theres limitation of
frequency band, S8 also can be configured as 3+5 or 2+6.

Frequency hopping:

Cell without frequency hopping. The cell can work normally when the range of frequency is
within 15MHz for each MRFU.

Cell with Baseband frequency hopping. The frequency range of 2 MRFUs must within 25MHz
when 2 MRFUs are used. And the range of frequency also must be within 15MHz for each
MRFU.

Cell with RF frequency hopping. The cell cannot adopt RF frequency hopping if the range of
frequency is out of 15MHz. Because the frequency range of 2 MRFUs must be within 15MHz
when 2 MRFUs are used.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.

HUAWEI Confidential

Configuration principle Base on Limitation


of MRFU
Output power:

The maximum output power of MRFU is 80W.

The output power for each cell must fulfil the requirement of network plan. When the
specification doesnt fulfil the requirement, it can be improved by adding MRFUs.

The output power of all the cell must be the same because power sharing is mutually
exclusive with concentric cell. For example, S7 configured as 3+4 when 2 MRFUs are
used. The output power of MRFU configured as 3 carriers must be the same as that of
MRFU configured as 4 carriers.
