Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the next step in 3G technology. LTE provides various
technical benefits to Radio Access Network (RAN), such as flat network structure,
reduced time delay, higher user data rates, improved spectral efficiency, optimized
support for packet services, and improved system capacity and coverage. Compared
with the 3G network, LTE has flexible bandwidth, enhanced modulation schemes, and
effective scheduling, which meets the needs of operators. In addition, LTE allows
operators to use both existing and new spectral resources to provide data and voice
services.
1.1 Positioning
Focusing on the concept of customer-oriented innovation, Huawei launches the
distributed E-UTRAN NodeB (eNodeB) DBS3900 LTE, one of the products in
Huawei's SingleBTS product portfolio. The DBS3900 LTE fully exploits Huawei
platform resources and uses a variety of technologies.
The eNodeB represents the radio access equipment in the LTE system. Examples of
radio access function the eNodeB performs are Radio Resource Management (RRM)
functions such as air interface management, access control, mobility control, and UE
resource allocation. Multiple eNodeBs constitute an Evolved Universal Terrestrial
Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) system.
1.2 Benefits
Advanced BS Platform, 2G and 3G Co-Network, RAN Sharing, and Smooth
Evolution
As LTE is one feature of SingleRAN,The DBS3900 LTE achieves smooth
network upgrade by sharing the hardware platform and equipment of Huawei
SingleBTS products with the DBS3900 GSM, DBS3900 UMTS, DBS3900
CDMA, or DBS3900 WiMAX. This saves the cost of LTE site deployment.
The DBS3900 LTE can share the network with the 2G or 3G network, and
supports handovers between the LTE and the PS domain of the
GERAN/UTRAN/CDMA2000. This facilitates LTE network deployment in the
existing 2G or 3G network.
The DBS3900 LTE supports RAN sharing. Different operators can share the
RAN network, thus reducing Capital Expenditure (CAPEX).
The BBU3900 is the baseband unit of the DBS3900 LTE. The BBU3900 is
hardware ready in terms of multi-mode applications. Therefore, boards of
different modes installed in one BBU3900 are supported.
The RRU is the remote radio unit of the DBS3900 LTE. The BBU3900 and RRU
can be flexibly configured on the basis of capacity and coverage requirements.
Using the approach of stack installation, capacity expansion can be easily
achieved through board/module stacking, rather than equipment replacement.
Therefore, the cost of hardware upgrade is significantly reduced.
Comprehensive IP Transport
A wide variety of transmission ports are supported, such as FE/GE electrical ports,
FE/GE optical ports, and E1/T1 ports.
All-IP transport is supported. In addition, diversified network topologies are
supported, such as star, chain, and tree topologies.
Multiple QoS mechanisms are adopted to guarantee the transmission QoS, thus
providing highest capacity, implementing differentiated services, and meeting
QoS requirements of services.
2 Architecture
2.1 Overview
The DBS3900 LTE features a distributed architecture. The two basic modules of the
DBS3900 LTE consist of the BBU3900 (BaseBand Unit) and Remote Radio Unit
(RRU). The BBU3900 and RRU are inter-connected through a standardized Common
Public Radio Interface (CPRI) using optical cables.
Auxiliary devices of the DBS3900 LTE are the supporting parts for the BBU3900 and
RRU. Auxiliary devices provide installation space for the BBU3900 and supply power
to the BBU3900 and RRU. Examples of auxiliary devices of the DBS3900 LTE are the
Advanced Power Module with heat-exchanger cooler (APM30H Ver.B), Integrated
Battery Backup System with direct cooler (IBBS200D Ver.B) or Integrated Battery
Backup System with TEC cooler (IBBS200T Ver.B), and Transmission Cabinet with
heat-exchanger cooler (TMC11H Ver.B). Flexible combinations of the two basic
modules and auxiliary devices can provide comprehensive site solutions that are
applicable to different scenarios.
Figure 2-1 shows the architecture of the DBS3900 LTE.
If an E1/T1 port is required, the BBU3900 must be configured with the Universal
Transmission Processing Unit (UTRP). The UTRP is optional.
If the Remote Global Positioning System (RGPS) and Building Integrated Timing Supply
System (BITS) clock reference sources are supported, the BBU3900 must be configured
with the Universal Satellite Clock Unit (USCU). The USCU is optional.
2.3 RRU
The RRU is a remote radio unit, which performs modulation, demodulation, data
processing, and combining and dividing for baseband signals and RF signals.

3 Application Scenarios
3.1 Overview
With continuous capacity expansion of the mobile network, site selection for the base
station has turned into a bottleneck during network deployment. Site selection
becomes increasingly complex to implement and requires additional investment in
network deployment.
The DBS3900 LTE is characterized by its small footprint, easy installation, and low
power consumption. Therefore, the DBS3900 LTE can be easily installed in a spare
space at an existing site. The RRU is also compact and light. It can be installed close
to the antenna to reduce feeder loss and to improve system coverage. With these
characteristics, the DBS3900 LTE fully addresses operators' concern over site
acquisition and reduces network deployment time. Therefore, the DBS3900 LTE
enables operators to efficiently deploy a high-performance LTE network with a low
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by minimizing the investment in electricity, space,
and manpower.
The DBS3900 LTE has flexible applications to meet the requirement of fast network
deployment in different scenarios.
3.6 BBU+RRU+ICR
If an indoor site for the DBS3900 LTE has a 220 V AC or 48 V DC power supply
available and a new backup power supply is required, the BBU3900 can be installed in
an Indoor Centralized Rack (ICR), which provides a 19-inch-wide and 3 U-high space.
The RRU can be installed in an RF subrack. This is the BBU+RRU+ICR solution.
A maximum of six RRUs can be installed in a centralized manner. The BBU3900 can
be installed in an existing ICR to share the power supply system and the transmission
system in the existing network. Figure 3-5 shows the application scenario.
3.7 BBU+RRU+IMB03
If an indoor site for the DBS3900 LTE has a 220 V AC or 48 V DC power supply
available, the BBU3900 can be installed in an Indoor Mini Box (IMB03), which
provides a 19-inch-wide and 3 U-high space. This is the BBU+RRU+IMB03 solution.
As shown in Figure 3-6, the BBU3900 and power equipment are installed in the
IMB03, which provides indoor protection.
3.8 BBU+RRU+OMB
If an outdoor site for the DBS3900 LTE has a 220 V AC or 48 V DC power supply
available, the BBU3900 can be installed in an Outdoor Mini Box (OMB). This is the
BBU+RRU+OMB solution.
As shown in Figure 3-7, the BBU3900 and power equipment are installed in the OMB,
which provides indoor protection.

LMT
LMT
The OM system consists of the Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) and the iManager
M2000 Mobile Element Management System (M2000). The LMT is used to maintain
a single eNodeB. To perform maintenance operations, you can connect the LMT to the
eNodeB through an Ethernet cable (local maintenance) or IP network (remote
maintenance). The M2000 is used to remotely maintain multiple eNodeBs of different
software versions.
The functions of the OM system are as follows:
The LMT performs functions such as data configuration, alarm monitoring,
commissioning, and software upgrade. The LMT supports both MML and GUI
modes.
The M2000 performs functions such as data configuration, alarm monitoring,
performance monitoring, and software upgrade. The M2000 supports both MML
and GUI modes.
5.3 Benefits
5.3.1 Configuration Management
The configuration management of the eNodeB features easy accessibility, high
reliability, and excellent scalability.
Easy accessibility
The OM system supports a user-friendly GUI mode.
The eNodeB provides configuration forms for the common configuration
scenarios, such as eNodeB startup, capacity expansion, and eNodeB
replacement. In addition, the eNodeB offers scenario-specific configuration
can set up the cell again with degraded specifications to minimize the impact
of the failure on services.
Various tracing and monitoring methods
The eNodeB supports various tracing functions to check the compatibility of
interfaces. The tracing functions are to trace the standard signaling of one UE
in the entire network, in a cell, or on standard interfaces. The user can trace
operations of the eNodeB on the LMT/M2000 in real time, or browse and
analyze tracing results later.
The eNodeB supports the real-time performance monitoring in GUI mode,
thus facilitating the user to locate performance failures speedily. The user can
monitor the transmission quality of user-level or cell-level air interface, air
interface performance and interference, and quality of transmission links in
real time.
The eNodeB supports one-click collection and upload of system logs. When
the user fails to locate or rectify faults, this function helps the user to collect
the detailed field information. Then the user can provide the fault information
to Huawei Customer Service Center for more efficient troubleshooting.
