The BTS3900 is comprised of the BBU3900, MRFU, and indoor macro cabinet. The
BBU3900 and the MRFU are installed in the indoor macro cabinet. The PS4890 meets the
requirements of different applications when the backup power or transmission equipment
space is required.

Features of BTS3900
u
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 lowcost 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.

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.
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.

The BTS3900 cabinet (-48V) uses the external -48V DC input. The DC power is directly led
into the DCDU-01 and the DCDU-01 distributes the DC power to each component in the
cabinet.
The BTS3900 cabinet (-48V) consists of the following components: the MRFUs,
BBU,DCDU-01, and FAN unit. You can optionally install devices of 3U in height in the spare
space of the cabinet.

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.
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 Confidential
Page 35
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.
u 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 Confidential
Page 36
Output power:
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.
