1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
This document applies to DBS3900 V100R006.
This document describes the hardware and software configuration principles of the DBS3900.
2 Application Overview
The eLTE2.2 DBS3900 (referred to as DBS3900 in this document), one of the eNodeB
products launched by Huawei, is a future-oriented LTE product integrating wireless platform
resources and diverse technologies.
Based on Huawei advanced SingleRAN platform, the DBS3900 consists of two types of basic
function modules: baseband unit (BBU) (referred to as BBU3900 in this document) and
remote radio unit (RRU). The BBU3900 is characterized by its small floor area, easy
installation, and low power consumption. Therefore, the BBU3900 can be easily installed in
the same place as an existing site. The RRU is compact and light. It can be installed near an
antenna to reduce feeder loss and improve system coverage.
Flexible combinations of the basic modules and auxiliary devices provide diverse site
solutions, which can meet customers' requirements for fast network construction.
The DBS3900 supports a scalable bandwidth of 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz,
or 20 MHz to meet operators' requirements for different frequencies.
The maximum configuration supported by the DBS3900 (when the DBS3900 is installed in
an APM30H cabinet equipped with one BBU) is as follows:
Single-carrier
4 x 2 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
6cells @ 1.4/3/5/10/15/20MHz(2T2R RRU)
12cells @ 1.4/3/5/10/15/20MHz(4T4R RRU)
2 x 2 MIMO
12cells @ 1.4/3/5/10/15/20MHz
Dual-carrier
4 x 2 MIMO
9cells @ 1.4/3/5/10/15/20MHz(2T2R RRU)
18cells @ 1.4/3/5/10/15/20MHz(4T4R RRU)
2 x 2 MIMO
18cells @ 1.4/3/5/10/15/20MHz
The DBS3900 serves a maximum of 10,800 RRC connected users when one BBU is
configured.
3 Product Configurations
An APM30H (Ver.D) cabinet (AC or DC) can supply power for six RRUs, and can
supply power for 15 RRUs after a direct current distribution unit (DCDU) is added.
Among the 15 RRUs, a maximum of 12 high-power RRUs (2 x 60 W) are allowed.
An APM30H (Ver.D) cabinet (AC or DC) can supply power for two BBU3900 modules
if the total power of the two BBUs does not exceed 1000 W.
When the DBS3900 is installed indoors, the BBU3900 can be installed in a 19-inch wide, 2-U
high, and well-ventilated cabinet or rack.
The RRUs can be installed on walls or poles.
The LBBP specifications are as follows:
The LBBP supports a scalable bandwidth of 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, or
20 MHz.
Used with the LBBP, the DBS3900 supports a maximum of 12 cells. The following tables
describe reference configurations.
The configurations in the preceding tables assume that the LRRU is used.
The configurations in the preceding tables are formulated based on the minimum number of LBBP
boards, and the impact of the throughput of a single cell or LBBP is not considered.
The maximum number of RRC connected users supported by the DBS3900 equipped with one BBU
varies with the selected type of main control board.
If the UMPT is selected, the DBS3900 supports a maximum of 10,800 RRC connected users.
The BBU3900 supports the hybrid configuration of LBBPd1, LBBPd2, and LBBPd3.
The number of users supported by a single LBBP is as follows:
One LBBPd1, LBBPd2, or LBBPd3 supports a maximum of 3600 RRC connected users.
Table 3-4 Number of users per sector (the number of RRC connected users varies with the LBBP
capacity when the LBBP supports multiple sectors)
An RRC connected user is one in the RRC_CONNECTED state. A scheduled user is one that is in the
RRC_CONNECTED state and maintains uplink synchronization. If a scheduled user requires uplink and
uplink services, resources can be allocated to the user at any time. RRC connected users include
scheduled users.
Inter-cell cascading is not supported when only one LBBP board is configured.
The configurations in the preceding table are formulated based on the minimum number of LBBP
boards, and the impact of the throughput of a single cell or LBBP is not considered.
The DBS3900 serves a maximum of 10,800 active users when only one BBU is configured.
Table 3-6 is for your reference only.

Processing Module
LTE supports IEEE 1588v2 synchronization. In addition, a GPS satellite card is integrated into the
UMPT to connect to satellite antennas and receive GPS signals.
When GPS signals and Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) signals need to be received,
a USCU board must be installed. Two satellite cards are integrated into the USCU board to connect
to satellite antennas and receive GPS and GLONASS signals. Each satellite card performs
supplementary calculation on signals received on the two channels to improve signal accuracy.
LTE supports AGPS-based precise location when a USCU board equipped with U-Blox satellite
cards is configured. AGPS is short for Assisted Global Positioning System.

For MIMO, the power required by a module is calculated by using the following formula:
Power required by a module = Number of MIMO channels of the module x Output power of each
channel
2 x 2 MIMO (2 x 30 W): Each RRU requires an output power of 60 W and two licenses for RF
output power must be configured.
2 x 2 MIMO (2 x 40 W): Each RRU requires an output power of 80 W and three licenses for RF
output power must be configured.
4 x 2 MIMO (4 x 40 W): Two RRUs are required. Each RRU requires an output power of 80 W and
three licenses for RF output power must be configured. The BBU3900 supports the LBBPc,
LBBPd1, LBBPd2, LBBPd3, UBBPd3, UBBPd4, UBBPd5, and UBBPd6 simultaneously.
