Technical Description 3 MBTS in the Network
MBTS
An MBTS consisting of multiple SiteUnits has its own attributes such as name and mode. The
attribute information can be queried on the M2000. The attribute mode indicates that services
of a certain mode can be provided by an MBTS. This mode can be GO, UO, LO, GU, GL, UL,
or GUL. In Figure 3-1, the mode is GUL, indicating that GSM, UMTS, and LTE services are
provided. In this case, there are three SiteUnits: GBTS, NodeB, and eNodeB.
Physically, each SiteUnit has its own main control board. Logically, each SiteUnit has its own
main control unit that controls and manages components of this SiteUnit. In addition, each
SiteUnit has its own attributes such as name, mode, type, and version. The attribute mode
indicates that services of a certain mode can be provided by a SiteUnit. The mode can be GSM,
UMTS, or LTE. The attribute type indicates a base station type such as BTS3900 or DBS3900.
The attribute version indicates the software version of a SiteUnit. In Figure 3-1, one SiteUnit
is GBTS. The mode of the GBTS is GSM, indicating that GSM services are provided. The type
of the GBTS can be BTS3900 or DBS3900.
MBSC
The MBSC incorporates functions of the RNC and BSC. It is connected to a network where
GSM and UMTS services co-exist as an independent network element (NE). For details, see the
BSC6900 GU Product Documentation.
Each SiteUnit of an MBTS is connected to an MBSC or Mobility Management Entity/Serving
Gateway (MME/S-GW) by using an interface. A GBTS is connected to an MBSC by using the
Abis interface. A NodeB is connected to an MBSC by using the Iub interface. An eNodeB is
connected to an MME/S-GE by using the S1 interface.

MBTSs can be classified into different base stations according to provided services and hardware
organizations.
MBTSs are currently classified into BTS3900, BTS3900A, BTS3900L, and DBS3900 according
to hardware organizations, as shown in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1 Base station type
Type Remarks
BTS3900 BTS3900 is applicable to indoor installation scenarios where traffic intensity is

high, lease cost of the equipment room is high, or space in the equipment room
is limited.
BTS3900 BTS3900A is applicable to outdoor installation scenarios such as cities, suburbs,

A or rural areas where wide coverage is required.
BTS3900 BTS3900L is applicable to indoor installation scenarios with high capacity

L requirements where traffic intensity is high, lease cost of the equipment room is
high, or space in the equipment room is limited.
DBS3900 DBS3900 is applicable to outdoor installation scenarios where wide coverage is

required or base station deployment is difficult.
BTS3900 BTS3900C is a mini outdoor base station and applies to hot spots, tunnels, and
C borders.
MBTSs are currently classified into dual-mode and triple-mode base stations according to
provided services, as shown in Table 4-2.
Table 4-2 Base station type
Type Remarks
Dual- A dual-mode base station, providing services of two modes, can work in GSM
mode base and UMTS (GU), GSM and LTE (GL), or UMTS and LTE (UL) mode. For
station example, a GU dual-mode base station provides GSM and UMTS services.

Technical Description 4 MBTS Products
Type Remarks
Triple- A triple-mode base station currently provides GSM, UMTS, and LTE services
mode base simultaneously.
station
MBTSs can be also classified into co-cabinet base stations and co-module base stations
according to RF modules that are used.
l In co-module scenario, one RF module works for multiple modes. This is achieved by using
the Software-Defined Radio (SDR) technique in the manner of software configuration.
l In co-cabinet scenario, RF modules and boards of different modes are installed in one
cabinet. In this manner, the cabinet supports multiple modes. Note that co-cabinet is a
solution only that indicates combination of multiple logically independent products. These
products still connect to each other on service consideration. Base stations where this
solution is adopted can be further categorized into the following two types:
– Single-mode co-cabinet: Two or more single-mode components are placed in one
cabinet.
– Hybrid co-cabinet: Single-mode and multi-mode components are placed in one cabinet.
Multi-mode components can support new modes by upgrading their software.

l GL+U: GSM and LTE boards are configured in BBU 0. Some of the RF modules connected
to BBU 0 work in GO mode, some work in LO mode, and the remaining work in GL mode.
Only UMTS boards are configured in BBU 1 and RF modules connected to BBU 1 work
in UO mode.

Figure 5-5 GU+UO system architecture
The MBTS consists of the following parts:
BBU
The BBU has a modular structure and consists of the control subsystem, transport subsystem,
baseband subsystem, and power and environment monitoring subsystem. When equipped with
boards of different modes, the BBU can serve any two modes at the same time, therefore enabling
dual-mode application. In this manner, information of the two modes is exchanged within the
BBU, therefore achieving clock signal transferring and data forwarding.
BBU subsystems are as follows:
l The control subsystem includes the GTMU, WMPT, and LMPT boards. The control
subsystem manages the entire base station in a centralized manner including OM, signaling
processing and system clock.
l The transport subsystem includes the GTMU, WMPT, LMPT, and UTRP boards. It
provides physical interfaces connecting the MBTS to the transport network to achieve
information exchange. It also provides the OM channel connecting the MBTS to the OMC.
l The baseband subsystem includes RF modules (for GSM), the WBBP board (for UMTS),
and the LBBP board (for LTE). The baseband subsystem processes UL and DL baseband
signals and provides CPRI ports through which the BBU can exchange information with
RF modules. For GSM, the GTMU or UBRI board provides CPRI ports through which the
BBU can exchange information with RF modules.

l The power and environment monitoring subsystem includes the UPEU and UEIU boards.
It provides power supply to the BBU and monitors the power status. It also provides ports
that are connected to environment monitoring devices and therefore it receives and transfers
signals transmitted from the environment monitoring devices.
RF Modules
RF modules (RXUs for short) include RFUs used in macro base stations and RRUs used in
distributed base stations. An RXU (**) refers to an RF module of a certain mode that can process
RF signals of the mode. Where, "**" indicates the working mode of the RXU. For example,
RXU (GU) is an RF module that works in GU mode and processes GSM and UMTS RF signals.
Based on processing capability, RF modules are classified into single-mode RF modules and
multi-mode RF modules.
l Single-mode RF modules process RF signals of only one mode. For GSM RF modules,
they process not only RF signals but also baseband signals. For information about single-
mode RF modules, see the technical description of the corresponding single-mode base
station.
l Adopting the Software Defined Radio (SDR) technique, each multi-mode RF module can
process RF signals of any two modes by using different software configurations. GU or
GL RF modules can also process GSM baseband signals.
Single-mode and multi-mode RF modules can be installed in the same cabinet of an MBTS to
achieve applications of multiple frequency bands and multiple modes.
Antenna System
The antenna system consists of antennas, feeders, jumpers, the Tower Mounted Amplifier
(TMA), and the Same band Antenna Sharing Unit (SASU). It transmits and receives RF signals.
When two radio communication systems operate in the same frequency band and cover the same
area, it is recommended that the two systems share the antenna system to reduce the CAPEX on
network deployment. If multi-mode RF modules are used at an MBTS, signals of two radio
communication systems operating in the same frequency band are transmitted from the same
port to achieve antenna system sharing. If single-mode RF modules are used, the Same band
Antenna Sharing Unit (SASU) is recommended.

CPRI Network Topologies

The MBTS supports multiple CPRI network topologies such as the chain, star, ring, and dual-
star topology, as shown in Figure 6-2. Single-mode RF modules support the chain, ring, and
star topology while multi-mode RF modules support the star and dual-star topology.

Based on the longest distance between a BBU and an RRU on a chain, CPRI networks can be
deployed in two scenarios, that is, short-distance remote and long-distance remote scenarios.
l In the short-distance remote scenario, the longest distance between an RRU and a BBU on
a CPRI chain should be no more than 100 m.
l In the long-distance remote scenario, the longest distance between an RRU and a BBU on
a CPRI chain ranges from 100 m to 40 km.
Different CPRI optical cables are used in two scenarios. For details, see chapter CPRI Optical

Typical Configuration
For configuration principles of single-mode RF modules, see the technical description of the

principles of multi-mode RF modules. The following figures take MRFU, MRFUd, MRFUe,
RRU3908 V2, RRU3928, and RRU3929 as examples.
Figure 7-1 shows the typical configuration when only one module is used in a single sector. In
this case, the antenna system is connected to ANT ports on the module by using a pair of dual-
polarized antennas.
l ANT ports on the MRFU and MRFUe are ANT_TX/RXA and ANT_RXB. The ANT_TX/
RXA port is a receiving and transmitting port while the ANT_RXB port is used to receive
signals.
l ANT ports on the MRFUd, RRU3908 V2, RRU3928, and RRU3929 are ANT_TX/RXA
and ANT_TX/RXB. The two ports are used to receive and transmit signals.

Figure 7-2 shows the typical configuration when two modules are used in a single sector.
l When two MRFUs or MRFUes are used, the antenna system is connected to the ANT_TX/
RXA ports on the two MRFUs by using a pair of dual-polarized antennas. The RX_OUTA
and RX_INB ports on the two MRFUs are connected through an inter-RFU RF signal cable
to achieve the application of receive diversity.
l When the MRFUds, RRU3908s V2, RRU3928s, or RRU3929s are used, the antenna system
is connected to the ANT_TX/RXA and ANT_TX/RXB ports on each RF module by using
a pair of dual-polarized antennas.

Technical Description 8 MBTS Transmission Schemes
8 MBTS Transmission Schemes
About This Chapter
The MBTS supports the independent transmission and co-transmission.
8.1 Independent Transmission

When the independent transmission is applied to an MBTS, each SiteUnit is connected to the
transport network through independent physical transmission ports. In this case, transmission
resources are not shared and therefore no impact exists between SiteUnits in terms of
transmission.
8.2 Co-Transmission
When co-transmission is applied to an MBTS, each SiteUnit is connected to the transport
network through common physical transmission ports. In this case, transmission resources are
shared but impacts exist between SiteUnits in terms of transmission. Co-transmission is
classified into co-transmission with TDM timeslot cross and co-transmission with IP. When co-
transmission with IP is applied, route backup and hybrid transport are supported.

8.1 Independent Transmission

When the independent transmission is applied to an MBTS, each SiteUnit is connected to the
transport network through independent physical transmission ports. In this case, transmission
resources are not shared and therefore no impact exists between SiteUnits in terms of
transmission.
Figure 8-1 shows the principle of the independent transmission. The transmission scheme and
transmission feature of each SiteUnit are the same as those of a single-mode base station. For
details, see the technical description of a single-mode base station.
Figure 8-1 Independent transmission
8.2 Co-Transmission
When co-transmission is applied to an MBTS, each SiteUnit is connected to the transport
network through common physical transmission ports. In this case, transmission resources are
shared but impacts exist between SiteUnits in terms of transmission. Co-transmission is
classified into co-transmission with TDM timeslot cross and co-transmission with IP. When co-
transmission with IP is applied, route backup and hybrid transport are supported.
8.2.1 Co-Transmission with TDM

The TDM timeslot cross function can be used to multiplex data of two modes onto the transport
network only when an MBTS works in GU mode. In this manner, E1/T1 transmission resources
are shared on a timeslot basis and TDM transmission bandwidth can be shared in a semi-static
way.
The co-transmission with TDM timeslot cross function is implemented by the GSM
Transmission, Timing, and Management Unit for BBU (GTMU) board or the GSM Universal
Transmission Processing unit (UTRP) board, as shown in Figure 8-2.

Figure 8-2 Co-transmission with TDM timeslot cross
The WCDMA Main Processing and Transmission Unit (WMPT) board transmits UMTS E1/T1
timeslots to the GTMU or UTRP board through the TOP channel on the backplane. The GTMU
or UTRP board provides E1/T1 ports that connect a base station to the transport network. The
GSM data and UMTS data are multiplexed onto the transport network by using the TDM timeslot
cross function, therefore achieving E1/T1 transmission resource sharing on the timeslot basis.
In the preceding scenario, only the following two clock schemes can be used:
l The GBTS is configured with an E1/T1 clock source while the NodeB shares the GBTS'
clock signals. (Recommended)
l When the BSC and RNC use the same E1/T1 clock source, the NodeB can be configured
with the E1/T1 clock source and the GBTS can share the NodeB's clock or can be configured
with another clock source.
8.2.2 Co-Transmission with IP

The MBTS can use techniques such as IP over Ethernet and IP over E1/T1 to enable different
SiteUnits to share physical transmission resources and dynamically share the transmission
bandwidth.
Co-transmission with IP can be implemented at an MBTS where only two SiteUnits share
transmission resources by connecting FE/GE ports on the main control boards of two SiteUnits.
In this scenario, the main control boards must be installed in the same BBU and FE/GE ports
on the main control boards must be interconnected to transfer data. In addition, a transmission
port on one SiteUnit is connected to the transport network and data of two SiteUnits is carried
on this transmission link.
FE/GE ports can be interconnected in two ways, that is, interconnecting FE/GE electrical ports
and interconnecting FE/GE optical ports.
Co-Transmission Between GBTS and NodeB

If co-transmission between the GBTS and the NodeB is required, as shown in Figure 8-3,
an FE port on the GSM Transmission, Timing, and Management Unit for BBU (GTMU) board
must be interconnected with an FE port on the WCDMA Main Processing and Transmission
Unit (WMPT) board using an FE interconnection cable. In this case, GSM data is transferred
over this FE interconnection cable. Moreover, another transmission port on the WMPT board is
connected to the transport network and GSM and UMTS data is carried on this transmission
link. If the MBTS needs to connect to the transport network by using GE ports, the Universal
Transmission Processing unit REV:2 (UTRP2) board can be configured for the NodeB. Then,

an FE port on the GTMU board is interconnected with an FE/GE port on the UTRP2 board and
the other FE/GE port on the UTRP2 board is connected to the transport network.
Figure 8-3 Co-transmission with IP (GU mode)
Co-Transmission Between GBTS and eNodeB

If co-transmission between the GBTS and the eNodeB is required, as shown in Figure 8-4 and
Figure 8-5,
an FE port on the GTMU board must be interconnected with an FE/GE port on the LTE Main
Processing & Transmission Unit (LMPT) board using an FE interconnection cable. In this case,
GSM data is transferred over this FE interconnection cable. Moreover, the other FE/GE port on
the LMPT board is connected to the transport network and GSM and LTE data is carried on the
corresponding transmission link. If the eNodeB is configured with the UTRP board, an E1/T1
port on the UTRP board is connected to the transport network and GSM and LTE data is carried
on the corresponding transmission link.
Figure 8-4 Co-transmission with IP (GL mode)

Figure 8-5 Co-transmission with IP (GL mode, the UTRP board used)
NOTE
The UTRP board is optional. It is not suitable for the co-transmission with IP mode, given its limited bandwidth
that affects GSM traffic expansion. Therefore, using the UTRP board to achieve co-transmission with IP in GL
mode is not recommended.
Co-Transmission Between NodeB and eNodeB

If co-transmission between the NodeB and the eNodeB is required, as shown in Figure 8-6 and
Figure 8-7,
an FE port on the WMPT board must be interconnected with an FE/GE port on the LMPT board
using an FE interconnection cable. In this case, UMTS data is transferred over this FE
interconnection cable. Moreover, the other FE/GE port on the LMPT board is connected to the
transport network and UMTS and LTE data is carried on this transmission link. If the eNodeB
is configured with the UTRP board, an E1/T1 port on the UTRP board can be connected to the
transport network and UMTS and LTE data is carried on the transmission link.
Figure 8-6 Co-transmission with IP (UL mode)

Figure 8-7 Co-transmission with IP (UL mode, the UTRP board used)
NOTE
The UTRP is optional. It is not suitable for the co-transmission with IP mode, given its limited bandwidth that
affects UMTS traffic expansion. Therefore, co-transmission with IP in UL mode is not recommended.
Throughput Specifications
When the MBTS works in co-transmission with IP mode, the throughput specifications for each
mode are as follows:
l GSM: 18 Mbit/s (bi-directional)

l UMTS: 255 Mbit/s (45 Mbit/s in uplink and 210 Mbit/s in downlink)
l LTE: 750 Mbit/s (300 Mbit/s in uplink and 450 Mbit/s in downlink)
8.2.3 Route Backup

The MBTS can achieve route backup by using co-transmission with IP, which enables backup
between traffic channels.
When the MBTS supports route backup, each SiteUnit has two transmission channels, that is,
the main channel and the backup channel.
l Main channel: When each SiteUnit connects to the transport network by using an
independent physical transmission port, this independent transmission link is the main
channel for each SiteUnit.
l Backup channel: When the main control boards of two SiteUnits are interconnected by
using FE/GE ports, each SiteUnit's independent transmission link serves as a backup
channel for the other SiteUnit.
Usage scenarios of the route backup function are as follows:
Scenario Remarks
The main channel In this case, the route backup function can be enabled to enable
is faulty. switchover of transmission paths. Then, the system switches to the
backup channel to ensure that maintenance and service data of high
priority is not affected. After the main channel restores, the system
automatically switches back to the main channel.

Scenario Remarks
The transmission In this case, a SiteUnit can use transmission links of another SiteUnit to
is not ready. ensure that version management and other operations can be performed
and completed properly.
Figure 8-8 shows the working principle of route backup when the main channel of the NodeB
in an MBTS working in GU mode is faulty. This working principle also applies to other scenarios.
Figure 8-8 Working principle of route backup
In the preceding figure, the GBTS and NodeB connect to the transport network by using
independent physical transmission ports and the GTMU and WMPT boards are interconnected
by using FE ports. Normally, the GBTS and NodeB use their own independent transmission
links (that is, the main channel) to transmit data. That is, transmission of the GBTS does not
affect that of the NodeB. If the main channel of the NodeB is faulty, the backup channel will be
used and the NodeB's data is transferred to the GSM Transmission, Timing, and Management
Unit for BBU (GTMU) board over the FE interconnection cable. Moreover, the transmission
link of the GBTS (that is, the backup channel) will be used to ensure that high-priority

maintenance and service data will not be affected. After the main channel of the NodeB is
restored, the system automatically switches back to the main channel to transmit data.
For route backup achieved using co-transmission with IP, pay attention to the following
information:
l In IP over E1 mode, route backup is not supported.
l If the route backup function has been enabled on a physical channel, the hybrid transport
function cannot be enabled on this channel.
l Route backup can be enabled only by interconnecting FE/GE ports on main control boards.
Interconnecting FE/GE ports on the UTRP board and a main control board cannot enable
route backup.
l In route backup scenarios, the IEEE1588 clock supports the backup switch of only unicast
mode but not multicast mode.
l Route backup depends on Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD). When the main
channel is faulty, the operation, administration and maintenance (OAM), signaling, and
key services of high priority are guaranteed preferentially. When the MBTS works in GU,
GL, or UL mode, NodeB or eNodeB can use only BFD to bind the host-specific route. If
UMTS or LTE does not use BFD to bind the host-specific route, the active and standby
routes cannot be switched over, and therefore the route backup function cannot take effect.
l If the MBTS works in UL mode and the main channel of the eNodeB is faulty, the QoS of
high-priority data streams is guaranteed preferentially when the backup channel is used.
This is because the NodeB processing capability is limited and the NodeB cannot support
the entire eNodeB traffic.
l If the MBTS works in GU or GL mode and the main channel of the NodeB or eNodeB is
faulty, the QoS of high-priority data streams is guaranteed preferentially when the backup
channel is used. This is because the GBTS processing capability is limited and the GBTS
cannot support the entire NodeB or eNodeB traffic.
8.2.4 Hybrid Transport

An MBTS working in UL mode can enable hybrid transport by using the co-transmission with
IP mode.
The MBTS working in UL mode supports the transfer of data over different transmission links
by priorities. In this scenario, an FE port on the WMPT board is interconnected with an FE/GE
port on the LMPT board to exchange information. The E1/T1 port on the WMPT board is
connected to the transport network to bear services of high priorities. An FE/GE port on the
LMPT board is connected to the transport network to bear low-priority services.
There are three scenarios for hybrid transport:
l Scenario 1: The UMTS traffic is transmitted on different paths whereas the LTE traffic is
transmitted on one path, as shown in Figure 8-9.

Figure 8-9 Hybrid transport (scenario 1)
l Scenario 2: The UMTS traffic is transmitted on one path whereas the LTE traffic is
transmitted on different paths, as shown in Figure 8-10.
l Scenario 3: Both UMTS traffic and LTE traffic are transmitted on different paths, as shown
in Figure 8-11.

Technical Description 9 MBTS Clock Schemes
9 MBTS Clock Schemes
About This Chapter
The MBTS supports multiple external reference clock sources, including the E1/T1 reference
clock, BITS reference clock, GPS reference clock, IP reference clock, and synchronous Ethernet
clock. Each SiteUnit can use an external reference clock source independently or share the
external reference clock source with another SiteUnit. When external reference clock sources
are unavailable, the MBTS continues to work for at least 30 days in free-run mode.
NOTE
In an MBTS, the Clock Working Mode cannot be set to AUTO(Auto), and each SiteUnit can be configured
with only one type of external clock source.
9.1 Independent Reference Clock Mode

When the MBTS works in independent reference clock mode, each SiteUnit uses an external
reference clock source independently and clock characteristics are the same as those of a single-
mode base station.
9.2 Common Reference Clock Mode
When the MBTS works in common reference clock mode, two SiteUnits share the same external
reference clock source.

9.1 Independent Reference Clock Mode

When the MBTS works in independent reference clock mode, each SiteUnit uses an external
reference clock source independently and clock characteristics are the same as those of a single-
mode base station.
NOTE
When an MBTS adopts independent reference clock mode, each SiteUnit can use a different reference clock
source according to onsite conditions. The related restrictions are as follows:
l Each SiteUnit can be configured with only one type of reference clock source.
l Only one Universal Satellite Card and Clock Unit (USCU) board can be configured for an MBTS and the
USCU board can be configured with only one type of reference clock source.
Independent E1/T1 Reference Clock

When each SiteUnit of an MBTS connects to the transport network by using its own E1/T1
transmission link and clock signals are carried on the link, each SiteUnit can obtain clock signals
from its own E1/T1 port, as shown in Figure 9-1 and Figure 9-2.
Figure 9-1 Independent E1/T1 reference clock (the main control board is connected to the
transport network)
Figure 9-2 Independent E1/T1 reference clock (the UTRP is connected to the transport network)

Independent IP Reference Clock

When each SiteUnit of an MBTS is connected to the transport network by using its own FE/GE
transmission link or co-transmission with IP is implemented by interconnecting FE ports, a client
can be configured for each SiteUnit. In this manner, each SiteUnit can obtain its clock signals
from the IEEE1588 server or IP clock server by using the FE/GE transmission link.
Figure 9-3 shows the working principle of the independent IP reference clock when each
SiteUnit of an MBTS uses an independent FE/GE transmission link.
Figure 9-3 Independent IP reference clock (independent transmission)
Figure 9-4 shows the working principle of the independent IP reference clock when co-
transmission with IP is implemented by interconnecting FE ports on an MBTS in GU mode.
Figure 9-4 Independent IP reference clock (co-transmission with IP)

NOTE
When the MBTS adopts co-transmission with IP, SiteUnits not connecting to the transport network directly
cannot interpret the IEEE1588 clock signals because SiteUnits connecting to the transport directly do not support
multicast forwarding, which is adopted by the IEEE1588 server to transmit clock signals.
Independent Synchronous Ethernet Clock

When each SiteUnit of an MBTS is connected to the transport network by using its own FE/GE
transmission link and the transport network supports the synchronous Ethernet clock, each
SiteUnit obtains synchronized Ethernet clock signals carried on its own FE/GE transmission
link from the transport network, as shown in Figure 9-5.
Figure 9-5 Independent synchronous Ethernet clock
Independent BITS Reference Clock

If a SiteUnit of an MBTS is configured with a USCU board and the BITS clock port on the
USCU board is used to receive BITS clock signals, the SiteUnit can use the BITS clock signals
independently. As shown in Figure 9-6, the GBTS is configured with a USCU board that
receives BITS clock signals.
Figure 9-6 Independent BITS reference clock (GBTS)

Independent GPS/RGPS Reference Clock

If a SiteUnit of an MBTS is configured with a USCU board and the GPS/RGPS clock port on
the USCU board is used to receive GPS/RGPS clock signals, the SiteUnit can use the GPS/RGPS
clock signals independently. As shown in Figure 9-7, the GBTS is configured with a USCU
board that receives GPS clock signals.
Figure 9-7 Independent GPS reference clock (GBTS)
NOTE
The NodeB does not support the RGPS clock reference source.
Independent 1PPS Reference Clock

The eNodeB supports clock synchronization by using the 1 pulse per second (1PPS) reference
clock. It obtains 1PPS and time of day (TOD) clock signals by using the 1PPS+TOD port on the
USCU board, as shown in Figure 9-8. 1PPS signals are used for precise timekeeping and time
measurement, while TOD signals transfer such information as time, types of reference clocks,
and working status of reference clocks.
Figure 9-8 Independent 1PPS reference clock (eNodeB)
9.2 Common Reference Clock Mode

When the MBTS works in common reference clock mode, two SiteUnits share the same external

NOTE
l The main control boards of two SiteUnits of an MBTS must be installed in the same BBU to achieve external
reference clock source sharing. If an MBTS works in GU+L mode, only the GBTS and NodeB can share an
external reference clock source. The external reference clock source cannot be shared between the GBTS
and the eNodeB or between the NodeB and the eNodeB.
l Currently, only the frequency synchronization method is supported for two SiteUnits to share an external
Common E1/T1 Reference Clock

When a SiteUnit of an MBTS connects to the transport network by using an E1/T1 transmission
link and clock signals are carried on the link, another SiteUnit can share the clock signals. In
this case, another SiteUnit can be configured with a PEER clock source when the peer SiteUnit
is configured with an E1/T1 clock source.
Figure 9-9 shows that the GBTS obtains E1/T1 clock signals from an E1/T1 port on the GTMU
board and the NodeB shares the E1/T1 clock signals.
Figure 9-9 Common E1/T1 reference clock
If two SiteUnits both connect to the transport network through E1/T1 transmission links and the
SiteUnits adopt common E1/T1 reference clock mode, the upper-level clock sources of the
SiteUnits must be the same.
Common IP Reference Clock

When the MBTS uses the IEEE1588 clock source, common IP reference clock mode is
supported. In this case, one SiteUnit needs to be configured with a client and the SiteUnit can
obtain clock signals from the IEEE1588 server by connecting to the transport network with a
FE/GE transmission link. Then, another SiteUnit can be configured with a PEER clock source.
Figure 9-10 shows that the NodeB obtains clock signals from the IEEE1588 server and the
GBTS shares the clock signals.

Figure 9-10 Common IP reference clock
NOTE
When the MBTS adopts co-transmission with IP, SiteUnits not connecting to the transport network directly do
not support the IP clock in multicast mode because SiteUnits connecting to the transport directly do not support
multicast forwarding.
Common Synchronous-Ethernet Clock

When a SiteUnit of an MBTS connects to the transport network by using an FE/GE transmission
link and the transport network supports the synchronous-Ethernet clock. In this case, another
SiteUnit can be configured with a PEER clock source when the peer SiteUnit is configured with
a synchronous-Ethernet Clock source.
Figure 9-11 shows that the NodeB obtains Ethernet clock signals by using an FE/GE
transmission link and the GBTS shares the Ethernet clock signals.
Figure 9-11 Common synchronous-Ethernet clock
Common BITS Reference Clock

When the MBTS is configured with the USCU board that is connected to an external BITS
reference clock, the external BITS clock signals are routed to the MBTS through the BITS clock
port. Each SiteUnit uses the clock signals directly through the clock channels on the backplane.
In this scenario, two SiteUnits that share the reference clock source should be configured with
this USCU board and should be configured with a BITS clock source.

Figure 9-12 shows the working principle of the common BITS reference clock for the MBTS
in GU mode.
Figure 9-12 Common BITS reference clock
Common GPS Reference Clock

When the MBTS is configured with the USCU board that is connected to an external GPS
reference clock, each SiteUnit directly uses the 1PPS GPS clock signals from the USCU board
over the clock bus. The GPS clock signals are routed to the RS485 port on the main control
board of a SiteUnit and then are transmitted to the main control board of another SiteUnit through
burst. In this scenario, two SiteUnits that share the reference clock source should be configured
with this USCU board and should be configured with a GPS clock source.
Figure 9-13 shows the working principle of the common GPS reference clock for the MBTS in
GU mode.

Technical Description 10 MBTS Operation and Maintenance
10 MBTS Operation and Maintenance
About This Chapter
Operation and Maintenance (OM) function includes management, monitoring, and maintenance
of the software, hardware, and configuration of the MBTSs. In addition, diversified OM modes
are provided in various scenarios.
10.1 OM Modes
MBTS operation and maintenance (OM) system includes such platforms as GBTS SMT, BSC
LMT, NodeB LMT, eNodeB LMT and M2000 and provides local and remote OM for the MBTS.
10.2 Common Parts
In an MBTS, common parts are those that are managed by multiple SiteUnits or by any SiteUnit.
Based on loading control rights and the mode priority, SiteUnits manage software of common
parts and maintain them.
10.3 Configuration Management
MBTS configuration management includes initial configuration and reconfiguration. In the
initial network deployment phase, the basic MBTS data can be configured on the CME to enable
unified network deployment. After the MBTS has started running, reconfiguration can be
performed on the CME or by running MML commands to add, delete, or modify data.
10.4 Software Upgrade
The MBTS supports multiple upgrade methods in different scenarios.
10.5 Commissioning Mode
The MBTS supports multiple commissioning modes in different scenarios and commissioning
engineers can use the commissioning modes flexibly.
10.6 Alarm Management
Each SiteUnit in an MBTS independently reports alarms. Maintenance personnel can
individually manage all the SiteUnits or manage the entire MBTS as a whole.
10.7 Mode Evolution
The MBTS supports many evolution solutions in different scenarios.
10.8 Inventory and Device Documentation Management
MBTS inventory information and device documentation are managed on the M2000 to achieve
centralized and effective management.

10.9 Maintenance Between Modes

During maintenance of an MBTS, maintenance operations must be performed carefully at each
SiteUnit because the operations may affect other SiteUnits.

10.1 OM Modes
MBTS operation and maintenance (OM) system includes such platforms as GBTS SMT, BSC
LMT, NodeB LMT, eNodeB LMT and M2000 and provides local and remote OM for the MBTS.
l GBTS SMT: Maintenance personnel connect a PC to the GTMU board by using an Ethernet
cable and use the GBTS SMT installed on the PC to maintain devices managed by the
GBTS of the MBTS.
l BSC LMT: Maintenance personnel use the BSC LMT to maintain devices managed by the
GBTS of the MBTS remotely.
l NodeB LMT: Maintenance personnel use the NodeB LMT to maintain devices managed
by the NodeB of the MBTS. To maintain a single NodeB, maintenance personnel can locally
connect a PC where the NodeB LMT is installed to the WMPT board by using an Ethernet
cable or remotely access the NodeB through an OM channel.
l eNodeB LMT: Maintenance personnel use the eNodeB LMT to maintain devices managed
by the eNodeB of the MBTS. To maintain a single eNodeB, maintenance personnel can
locally connect a PC where the eNodeB LMT is installed to the LMPT board by using an
Ethernet cable or remotely access the eNodeB through an OM channel.
l M2000: As a network management center, the M2000 maintains multiple base stations in
a centralized manner in terms of, for example, data configuration (on the CME), alarm
monitoring, performance monitoring, software upgrade, and inventory management.
Description in this document assumes that only one network management system is used to
manage the MBTS. If two or more network management systems are used, the methods for the
MBTS OM, including alarm management, software management, inventory management,
topology management, NE health check, commissioning, software upgrade, and data
configuration, provided in this document do not apply.
Figure 10-1 shows the OM system of the MBTS.

Figure 10-1 OM system of the MBTS
SiteUnits communicate with each other internally and common parts are shared by the
corresponding SiteUnits. Maintenance personnel can operate and maintain each SiteUnit
independently by using the SMT or LMT locally or using the M2000 or LMT remotely. They
can also manage the MBTS as an integrated entity by using the M2000. The M2000 manages
the MBTS on its own interface to perform alarm management, software upgrade, data
configuration, and inventory management in a centralized manner.
10.2 Common Parts

In an MBTS, common parts are those that are managed by multiple SiteUnits or by any SiteUnit.
Based on loading control rights and the mode priority, SiteUnits manage software of common
parts and maintain them.
Common Parts and Parameters

Common parts fall into two types. One type of common parts includes those that are managed
by two or more SiteUnits, such as multi-mode RF modules working in multiple modes. The

other type of common parts includes those that can be managed by any SiteUnit, such as
monitoring devices.
Table 10-1 provides common parts in an MBTS and related management methods.
Table 10-1 Common parts in an MBTS and related management methods
Common Parts Management Method
Multi-mode RF modules Bilateral management (mandatory): they are managed by

working in multiple modes SiteUnits that are chosen on the basis of the working mode of
the modules.
For example, a multi-mode RF module working in GU mode is
managed by a GBTS and a NodeB.
BBU3900 subracks; Bilateral management (mandatory): They are managed by two

UPEU, UEIU, and FAN in SiteUnits whose main control boards are installed in the same
a BBU BBU as the UPEU, UEIU, and FAN boards.
Local monitoring devices Unilateral management: they are managed by one SiteUnit

connected to the BBU, devices.
including the PMU, TCU, NOTE
FMU, and EMU) l When monitoring boards are managed by only one SiteUnit, the
following functions fail: Energy Saving, Smart TRX, and
controlling fan speed by the main control board.
l Monitoring devices are all connected to BBU0 and are managed by
one SiteUnit whose main control board is installed in BBU0.
Remote monitoring devices Unilateral management (only):

(monitoring devices l If RRUs work in a single mode, remote monitoring devices
connected to RRUs) are managed by the SiteUnit that also manages these RRUs.
For example, if RRUs work in the GSM mode, such devices
RET antennas
are managed by the GBTS.
l If RRUs work in multiple modes, remote monitoring
devices are managed by one of the SiteUnits that also
manage these RRUs. For example, if RRUs work in the GU
mode, such devices are managed by the GBTS.
USCU Bilateral or unilateral management

l Bilateral management: it is managed by two SiteUnits
whose main control boards are installed in the same BBU
as the USCU board. Note that the two SiteUnits must have
the same clock source type.
l Unilateral management: it is managed by one SiteUnit
whose main control board is installed in the same BBU as
the UCIU board. Note that this SiteUnit must be configured
with a clock source type that matches the clock signals
received by the USCU board. For other SiteUnits, their
clock source type is PEER.
Cabinet Bilateral management (mandatory): It is managed by all the

SiteUnits that are installed in the same cabinet.

Parameters of bilaterally managed common parts are common parameters. All SiteUnits
involved must have the same configurations for these parameters. Otherwise, a configuration
conflict alarm will be generated.
For unilaterally managed common parts, users can choose a SiteUnit according to onsite
conditions. For details, see the following:
l For a newly deployed MBTS, the GBTS is highly recommended, which is followed by the
NodeB. The eNodeB is fairly recommended. For example, in a GU dual-mode base station,
the GBTS is recommended.
l For a base station to be evolved, the original mode is recommended. For example, a base
station is evolved from a single mode base station to a GU dual-mode base station, the
GBTS is recommended.
Loading Control Rights

If a SiteUnit of an MBTS has loading control rights, the SiteUnit has software management
rights over common parts. In addition, the software versions of common parts must be consistent
with the software version of the SiteUnit. For example, a user grants loading control rights to
the GBTS of a GU dual-mode base station. In this case, the GBTS has the software management
rights over GU common parts and therefore the software version of the GU common parts must
be consistent with that in the software package of the GBTS. Currently, loading control rights
take effect on RF modules working in dual mode and the USCU board only.
Parameters associated with loading control rights consist of Control Flag, Effect Immediately
Flag, Self Version, Peer Version, and Mode. Description of these elements is provided in Table
10-2. For configuration methods, see the MML Command Reference. The local end indicates a
SiteUnit that is setting loading control rights while the peer end indicates another SiteUnit that
is involved in the operation. For example, when loading control rights are being set by the GBTS
of a GU dual-mode base station, the GBTS is the local end while the NodeB is the peer end.

the setting of loading control
rights takes effect for GU
common parts only.
For each mode combination, users can set a maximum of two different loading control right
records. Two records correspond to two software version combinations in each mode
combination. One software version is the live combination while the other is the combination
after upgrade. For example, the live version of GBTS of a GU dual-mode base station is A1
while the target version is A2; the live version of NodeB is B1 while the target version is B2. In
this case, users can set two loading control right records for two software version combinations
(A1B1 and A2B2) respectively.
The last loading control right setting takes effect if two SiteUnits are granted with loading control
rights in the same software version combination. The last loading control right setting also takes
effect if neither of the SiteUnits is set to be granted with loading control rights. For example, at
a GU dual-mode base station:

l It is NodeB that has loading control rights in combination A1B1 if GBTS is granted with
the rights first and NodeB is granted with the rights later.
l It is GBTS that has loading control rights in combination A1B1 if, based on data
configurations, GBTS is not granted with the rights first and NodeB is not granted with the
rights later.
An Inter-System Control Rights Conflict alarm will be generated if loading control rights are
not configured on two SiteUnits in the same software combination.
Loading control rights need to be specified, modified, or pre-specified in the following scenarios:
l Loading control rights need to be reconfigured upon MBTS upgrade.
l Loading control rights need to be reconfigured if loading control right conflicts arise.
None of the SiteUnits of an MBTS manages software of common parts if the following
configuration conflicts arise and each SiteUnit works in non-engineering mode.
l The cabinet, subrack, and slot information of a common part are different among all
SiteUnits.
l The working mode of a common part is different among all SiteUnits. For example, if a
multi-mode RF module is set to work in GU mode at the GBTS but it is set to work in UO
mode at the NodeB, neither the GBTS nor the NodeB manages software of the module.
Mode Priority
For bilaterally managed common parts, their alarms, configuration data, device status, and
inventory information that are reported by each SiteUnit must be filtered and combined. The
mode priority determines which SiteUnit's reported data is to be considered by the entire base
station.
Users can set an MBTS's mode priority on the M2000. In a GUL triple-mode base station, GSM
has the highest mode priority while LTE has the lowest mode priority. In such a case, for common
parts managed by both the GBTS and NodeB and common parts managed by both the GBTS
and eNodeB, the data reported by the GBTS is to be considered by the base station. For common
parts managed by both the NodeB and eNodeB, the data reported by the NodeB is to be
considered by the base station.
The mode priority setting takes effect not only for a single base station but also for all devices
managed by the M2000 in the live network. Therefore, all the devices managed by the M2000
have the same mode priority setting.
10.3 Configuration Management

MBTS configuration management includes initial configuration and reconfiguration. In the
initial network deployment phase, the basic MBTS data can be configured on the CME to enable
unified network deployment. After the MBTS has started running, reconfiguration can be
performed on the CME or by running MML commands to add, delete, or modify data.
Figure 10-2 shows the MBTS configuration management.

Figure 10-2 MBTS configuration management
MBTS configuration data includes the unique data of each SiteUnit and the data of common
parts.
l The method for configuring the unique data of each SiteUnit is the same as that for a single-
mode base station.
l Common Part and Management Method provides the principles for configuring the data
of common parts. Unilaterally managed common parts need to be configured only on one
SiteUnit. Bilaterally managed common parts must be configured on two related SiteUnits,
which must have the consistent settings for common parameters.
Initial Configuration
In the initial network deployment phase, the basic MBTS data can be configured on the CME
after hardware of the MBTS has been installed and the MBTS has gained access to the M2000
successfully. Once the initial configuration is complete, the MBTS starts to function and provide
basic services.
One-site configuration can be performed on a GU/GL dual-mode base station by using the CME.
There are two configuration methods available, as described in Table 10-3. For details, see the
MBTS Initial Configuration.

Figure 10-3 Initial configuration procedure (based on the GUI wizard)

Figure 10-4 Initial configuration procedure (based on the data planning template)
The method for configuring the unique data of each SiteUnit is the same as that for a single-
mode base station. Data of common parts needs to be configured once only.
Characteristics of MBTS configuration are as follows, including functions of the CME available
for MBTS configuration:
l A network carrier can specify mapping between SiteUnits of an MBTS.
l The CME supports one-site configuration and configuration data consistency check.
– Unique data of each SiteUnit is checked on the basis of check rules of each NE to ensure
that the data is correct.
– Each SiteUnit must have the correct configuration for a cabinet, subrack, or slot to
prevent configuration conflicts.
– Data of Bilaterally managed common parts is checked on the basis of mode priorities
specified by network carriers and of check rules specified for the common device data.
If parameter configurations of the common parts are found to be inconsistent between
two SiteUnits, the CME modifies configuration data automatically based on the mode
priority setting.
l The CME provides an MBTS device panel view, supports unified addition or deletion of
cabinets and boards, and enables unified modification of common parameters.
Reconfiguration
Reconfiguration includes data addition, data removal, and data modification after the MBTS has
started functioning. MBTS reconfiguration can be performed on the LMT by running MML
commands or on the CME. Operations on the CME are recommended. During reconfiguration,

it is recommended that network carriers check configuration data consistency manually to ensure
that parameter configurations of the common parts are consistent between SiteUnits.
Table 10-4 describes usage scenarios of reconfiguration.
Table 10-4 Usage scenario of reconfiguration

Scenario Remarks
Network Network performance is adjusted and optimized on the basis of the system
optimization operation data that is obtained during network operation by means of
performance measurement and drive test.

Capacity Hardware is added to the live network or configurations are modified. This
expansion enables the system to provide services for more users. For details, see the
SingleRAN Reconfiguration. The configuration method, based on the GUI
wizard, supports only capacity expansion from a single-mode base station
to a dual-mode base station. Figure 10-5 shows the corresponding
configuration procedure. The other method, based on the data planning
template, supports capacity expansion from a dual-mode base station to a
triple-mode base station. Figure 10-6 shows the corresponding
configuration procedure.

10.4 Software Upgrade

The MBTS supports multiple upgrade methods in different scenarios.

NOTE
During a one-sided upgrade, start event of common parts can be reported only by the SiteUnit that is being
upgraded.
Version match check, loading control right setting, partial upgrade check are performed on the
M2000 automatically, which simplifies the upgrade procedure. Therefore, upgrading remotely
on the M2000 is recommended. Upgrade locally on the LMT or SMT if you encounter any
problems when upgrading on the M2000 such as transmission faults occur, the M2000 is faulty
or not installed, or the base station is commissioned locally.
When upgrading an MBTS, pay attention to the following restrictions:
l In co-module scenario, software of all SiteUnits must be upgraded together.
l In co-cabinet scenario, software of one SiteUnit can be upgraded independently. Services
of another SiteUnit will be disrupted if the base station works in co-transmission mode and
the SiteUnit to be upgraded provides an outgoing port used for transmission sharing.
l For a triple-mode base station, software versions of three SiteUnits must be of V100R004.
l During rollback, it is recommended that software of SiteUnits be rolled back together to
ensure that software versions of the SiteUnits match after rollback. That is, if software of
two SiteUnits is upgraded together, the software of the SiteUnites must be rolled back
together as well. Rollback will not be allowed if rollback is performed on the M2000 and
software versions of SiteUnits after rollback do not match.
l If upgrade is started from V100R004, loading control rights are set at the base station
automatically. If upgrade is started from a version earlier than V100R004 and it is
performed on the M2000, loading control rights are set on the M2000 automatically. If the
upgrade is not performed on the M2000, loading control rights must be set manually.
10.5 Commissioning Mode

The MBTS supports multiple commissioning modes in different scenarios and commissioning
engineers can use the commissioning modes flexibly.

10.6 Alarm Management

Each SiteUnit in an MBTS independently reports alarms. Maintenance personnel can
individually manage all the SiteUnits or manage the entire MBTS as a whole.
Figure 10-7 shows MBTS alarm management. For details, see the 3900 Series Multi-Mode Base
Station Alarm Reference.
Figure 10-7 MBTS alarm management
As shown in the preceding figure, the GBTS, NodeB, and eNodeB report unique and common
alarms independently and common alarms are reported with mode information such as GU
common alarms and GUL common alarms. Maintenance personnel can individually manage the
GBTS, NodeB, and eNodeB using the GBTS SMT, NodeB LMT, and eNodeB LMT,
respectively. Alternatively, they can centrally or independently manage MBTS alarms using the
M2000. When centrally managing MBTS alarms, the M2000 combines and filters alarms
reported by each SiteUnit based on the user-defined mode priority and provides one alarm view
only.
Alarm Type
Each SiteUnit in an MBTS reports unique and common alarms.
l Unique alarms: These alarms are unique to a SiteUnit. Generation causes and processing
mechanisms are the same as those for a single-mode base station.

l Common alarms: These alarms, related to bilaterally managed common parts, include
alarms that are generated because of device faults and alarms that are generated because
of common parts' parameter configuration conflicts.
NOTE
l For unilaterally managed common parts, only the SiteUnit that manage these common parts can see the
alarms of them . Alarms reported by unilaterally managed common parts may affect the operation of other
SiteUnits. On the Browse Current Alarm tab page, the Additional Information column lists the
RAT_INFO and AFFECTED_INFO information. With the information, maintenance personnel can know
the mode information about the base station where the alarm is generated and the modes that are affected
by the alarm.
l User-defined alarms specific to bilaterally managed common parts must be configured on all SiteUnits that
manage these common parts. In addition, all these SiteUnits must have the same configuration for these
alarms. Otherwise, a configuration conflict alarm will be generated.
l If conflicts occur in common parameter configurations, multiple relevant alarms will be generated.
Therefore, configuration conflict alarms must be handled preferentially.
Figure 10-8 shows the Browse Current Alarm tab page of the M2000.
l NE Type: indicates the SiteUnit that reports the current alarm.
l Common Alarm Identifier: indicates whether the current alarm is a common alarm. If the
value is NA, the current alarm is a unique alarm. Otherwise, the current alarm is a common
alarm.
l Additional Information: RAT_INFO indicates the mode information about the base
station where the alarm is generated and AFFECTED_INFO indicates the modes that are
affected by the alarm. For example, if the value for RAT_INFO is GUL and the value for
AFFECTED_INFO is GU, the alarm is generated on a GUL triple-mode base station and
this alarm affects the GSM and UMTS modes.

Management Method
Maintenance personnel can individually manage all SiteUnits in an MBTS or manage the entire
MBTS as a whole. For details, see Table 10-9.

mode base station.
Managing the M2000 The M2000 exports only one alarm view, which includes
MBTS as a common alarms and each SiteUnit's unique alarms.
whole l For each SiteUnit's unique alarms, the method for managing
the alarms is the same as that for a single-mode base station.
l The M2000 combines and filters common alarms reported
by each SiteUnit based on the user-defined mode priority
and provides one alarm view only. This prevents some
alarms from being repeatedly reported.
When using the M2000 to manage alarms, pay attention to the following:
l When setting parameters of common alarms, you must repeat the operation on all SiteUnits
involved. Such parameters include alarm masking, alarm severity, alarm query, alarm
clearance, and so on. Enabling the settings on one SiteUnit to take effect on the other
SiteUnits is not allowed.
l When confirming or clearing a common alarm, you must repeat the operation on all
SiteUnits involved because the confirming or clearance only takes effect on the current
SiteUnit. For example, both a GBTS and NodeB report a common alarm. Based on the
mode priority, the M2000 displays only the alarm reported by the GBTS. After the alarm
is confirmed or cleared, the alarm is removed from the GBTS. However, on the NodeB,
the alarm remains unconfirmed and therefore it persists.
Mechanism for Handling Engineering Alarms

When a base station is being deployed, upgraded, or commissioned, engineering operations
cause some network elements (NEs) to being abnormal for a short period and as a result a large
number of alarms are generated. This also occurs when the base station is under capacity
expansion. All the generated alarms are called engineering alarms. Engineering alarms are
automatically cleared after engineering operations are complete and therefore no operations are
required. It is recommended that all NEs involved be set to work in engineering mode before
any engineering operation is performed to mask engineering alarms. This avoids interfering
network monitoring.
After the SiteUnits involved enter engineering mode, the mechanism for handling engineering
alarms works as follows:
l For SiteUnits working in engineering mode, their alarms are reported as engineering alarms.
l For SiteUnits working in non-engineering mode:
– Unique alarms are reported according to the normal procedure.

– The alarms that are generated because of common parts' parameter configuration
conflicts is not reported if a relevant SiteUnit is working in engineering mode. It is
reported according to the normal procedure if none of the relevant SiteUnits is working
in engineering mode.
For example, when the GBTS of a GU dual-mode base station is working in engineering mode
while the NodeB is working in non-engineering mode, all the alarms generated at the GBTS are
reported as engineering alarms. In addition, the NodeB's unique alarms are reported according
to the normal procedure but alarms that are generated because of common parts' parameter
configuration conflicts are not reported.
10.7 Mode Evolution

The MBTS supports many evolution solutions in different scenarios.
Table 10-10 lists different mode evolution solutions. For details, see the 3900 Series Multi-Mode
Base Station Standards Evolution Guide.
Table 10-10 Typical evolution scenarios

MBTS mode evolution involves preparation before evolution, recording alarms, setting NEs to
work in engineering mode, upgrading software, adjusting data, adjusting hardware, setting
binding relations between SiteUnits, commissioning, and setting NEs to work in normal mode.
l Preparation before evolution: In this step, ensure that hardware and matching software
required during evolution are ready and that each related NE and network management
device are ready.
l Recording alarms: In this step, record alarms generated on the base station for the
comparison before and after evolution to ensure that no new alarm is generated after
evolution.
l Setting NEs to work in engineering mode: In this step, set a SiteUnit to work in engineering
mode on the M2000 and shield engineering alarms to improve network operation and
maintenance efficiency.
l Upgrading software: In this step, upgrade software of the base station according to the
actual situation to ensure that software versions are matching with each other.
l Adjusting data: In this step, adjust configuration data of the base station to meet the actual
requirements.
l Adjusting hardware: In this step, adjust physical devices and connections of the base station
to meet the actual requirements.
l Setting binding relations between SiteUnits: In this step, set binding relations between
SiteUnits on the M2000 to set up an MBTS.
l Commissioning: In this step, commission the MBTS to ensure that it can work properly
after evolution.
l Setting NEs to work in normal mode: In this step, set NEs to work in normal mode on the
M2000 to ensure that alarms are reported according to the normal procedure.
10.8 Inventory and Device Documentation Management

MBTS inventory information and device documentation are managed on the M2000 to achieve
centralized and effective management.

Inventory Management
Inventory management involves the logical inventory management (configuration information
management) and physical inventory management (asset management).
l The logical inventory management manages logical inventory objects, including cells and
versions.
l The physical inventory management manages physical inventory objects, including racks,
subracks, slots, boards, ports, antennas, and optical modules.
Figure 10-9 shows the MBTS inventory management.
Figure 10-9 MBTS inventory management
Each SiteUnit of an MBTS independently reports its own inventory data, which covers inventory
information about bilaterally managed common parts and this SiteUnit's unique inventory
information including inventory information about unilaterally managed common parts.
On the M2000, each SiteUnit's inventory data can be viewed and exported. All SiteUnits' data
can also be combined on the M2000 and an inventory document covering the data is generated.
The M2000 combines all SiteUnits' data on a mode priority basis.
Device Documentation Management

Each SiteUnit of an MBTS performs device documentation management independently and
sends a document recording device information to the M2000 separately. After all SiteUnits
send their documents to the M2000, these documents are compressed into a file. Then, a tool is

used to combine these documents into an MBTS device document for the Customer Equipment
Archives System (CEAS) to process the document.
10.9 Maintenance Between Modes

During maintenance of an MBTS, maintenance operations must be performed carefully at each
SiteUnit because the operations may affect other SiteUnits.
Maintenance Operations Simultaneously Performed at All SiteUnits

Some maintenance operations must be performed at all SiteUnits of an MBTS at the same time.
For details, see Table 10-11.

Technical Description 12 MBTS Reliability
12 MBTS Reliability
The MBTS adopts a complete redundancy design, which greatly enhances system reliability.
Hardware Reliability
l Hardware reliability of the BBU3900
– The BBU3900 is equipped with built-in fans and supports redundancy configurations.
With the intelligent temperature control technology, the BBU3900 can automatically
adjust the fan speed and maintain the proper working condition of the heat dissipation
system of the BBU. In this way, the noise from the fans reduces, the fan attrition rate
slows down, and the reliability and durability of the heat dissipation system is enhanced.
In addition, the BBU3900 can control the start/shutdown of the fans and report fan-
related alarms.
– When one of the fans in the BBU3900 is faulty, the base station continues to work even
if the system temperature specification is lowered by 10°C.
– The power module is overcurrent-protected.
– The BBU3900 supports overtemperature protection. When the temperature in the BBU
is high, the BBU automatically reduces the power and/or shuts down the power
amplifier, depending on the temperature. When the temperature becomes normal, the
BBU cancels the overtemperature protection.
– The optical module is hot-swappable, thus simplifying maintenance.
– The BBU3900 provides the ports that receive the alarms related to the environment.
– The power input port on the BBU3900 is capable of preventing misconnection and
reverse connection.
l Hardware reliability of the RRU3908
– Reliability design for input power: In the case of the DC power input, the permissible
voltage range of the RRU3908 is from -36 V DC to -57 V DC. The RRU3908 is
operational even when the peak input voltage reaches -60 V DC, thus preventing
damages caused by unstable power input.
– Overtemperature protection: When the temperature in the RRU is too high due to
ambient factors, the RRU automatically enables the overtemperature protection
function. When the temperature becomes normal, the RRU automatically disables the
overtemperature protection function.
l Hardware reliability of the MRFU

Technical Description 12 MBTS Reliability
– Reliability design for input power: In the case of the DC power input, the permissible
voltage range of the MRFU is from -36 V DC to -57 V DC. The MRFU is operational
even when the peak input voltage reaches -60 V DC, thus preventing damages caused
by unstable power input.
– Overtemperature protection: When the temperature in the MRFU is too high due to
ambient factors, the MRFU automatically enables overtemperature protection. When
the temperature becomes normal, the MRFU automatically disables the
overtemperature protection.
Software Reliability
The software reliability is considered as the error tolerance capability. When a software fault
occurs, the self-healing ability protects the base station from breakdown. The error tolerance of
the BBU3900 and RRU3908/MRFU software covers the following aspects:
l Scheduled check of key resources
The base station checks software resource usage regularly. If resource deadlock occurs
because of software faults, the system can release the unavailable resources in time and
export logs and alarms.
l Parameter check
Validity check is performed on all the parameters of commands on the LMT and OMC.
The data in the configuration files is also checked upon the system startup to ensure stable
running of the system. During software running, the monitoring process monitors the task
running status. If internal software errors and hardware faults are detected, the monitoring
process reports alarms, and meanwhile attempts to restore the task by self-healing.
l Protection against software faults
Two software versions and two data versions are stored in the base station. If software
upgrade fails, the system automatically rolls the version back to the pre-upgrade one, thus
lowering the probability of onsite troubleshooting in the case of software download failures.
l Data check
The base station performs scheduled or event-triggered data consistency check and restores
the data consistency selectively or preferentially. In addition, the base station generates
related logs and alarms.
l Storage of operation logs
The base station records the operations performed during a period and stores the records
in the operation logs. When the system incurs an unknown error, the maintenance personnel
can identify the problem by tracing back to the normal status or can perform data restoration.
l Backup
The base station supports backup of transmission links.

NOTE
l * indicates that the UMTS mode is supported in terms of hardware.

l Power sharing assumes a random distribution of UEs in the cell.
l The output power is 1 dB lesser than the standard power when the MRFU is located at a height of 3500 m
to 4500m; and is 2 dB lesser than the standard power when the MRFU is located at a height of 4500 m to
6000m.
l For the MRFU working in GSM mode, the maximum output power of each carrier on the MRFU is 60 W
when the S1 configuration is applied. Note that, if the output power of 60 W is required, the related license
must be obtained.
l For the MRFU V2 working in GSM mode and operating in the 900 MHz frequency band: after design
optimization, the 8PSK and GMSK modulation schemes enable the same output power for each carrier on
the MRFU V2 when the S1, S2, or S3 configuration is used. When the S4, S5, or S6 configuration is used,
the license controlling the GBFD-118104 Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature must be obtained. Otherwise,
the 8PSK and GMSK modulation schemes cannot enable the same output power for each carrier on the
MRFU V2.
l For the MRFU V2 working in GSM mode and operating in the 1800 MHz frequency band, the license
controlling the GBFD-118104 Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature must be obtained when the S4, S5, or
S6 configuration is used. Otherwise, the 8PSK and GMSK modulation schemes cannot enable the same
output power for each carrier on the MRFU V2.
l Factors such as the site-to-site distance, frequency-reuse factor, power control algorithm, and traffic model
affect the gain achieved by dynamic power allocation. Therefore, in most cases, the network planning can
be based on the power specification achieved by dynamic power allocation.
l Before activating the dynamic power sharing feature, enable the DTX and power control functions. In
GBSS8.1, the dynamic power sharing feature is mutually exclusive with the GBFD-113201 Concentric Cell,
GBFD-114501 Co-BCCH Cell, GBFD-118001 BCCH Dense Frequency Multiplexing, and GBFD-117501
Enhanced Measurement Report (EMR) features. In GBSS9.0 and later versions, the dynamic power sharing
feature can be used together with these features. However, the dynamic power sharing feature currently
cannot be used together with the GBFD-117002 IBCA (Interference Based Channel Allocation),
GBFD-117001 Flex MAIO, GBFD-118701 RAN Sharing, and GBFD-114001 Extended Cell features in
GBSS8.1, GBSS9.0, and later versions.

l The output power is 1 dB lesser than the standard power when the MRFUd is located at a height of 3500 m
to 4500m; and is 2 dB lesser than the standard power when the MRFUd is located at a height of 4500 m to
6000m.
l For the MRFUd working in GSM mode: when the S1 or S2 configuration is applied, the maximum output
power of each carrier on the MRFUd is 80 W. If the output power of 60 W or 80 W is required, the related
license must be obtained. After design optimization, the 8PSK and GMSK modulation schemes enable the
same output power for each carrier on the MRFUd when any of the S1 through S6 configurations is used.
When the S7 or S8 configuration is used, the license controlling the GBFD-118104 Enhanced EDGE
Coverage feature must be obtained. Otherwise, the 8PSK and GMSK modulation schemes cannot enable
the same output power for each carrier on the MRFUd.

l The output power is 1 dB lesser than the standard power when the MRFUe is located at a height of 3500 m
to 4500m; and is 2 dB lesser than the standard power when the MRFUe is located at a height of 4500 m to
6000m.
l For the MRFUe working in GSM mode: when the S1 configuration is applied, the maximum output power
of each carrier on the MRFUe is 80 W; when the S2 configuration is applied, the maximum output power
of each carrier on the MRFUe is 60 W. If the output power of 60 W or 80 W is required, the related license
must be obtained. After design optimization, the 8PSK and GMSK modulation schemes enable the same
output power for each carrier on the MRFUe when the S1, S2, or S3 configuration is used. When any of the
S4 through S8 configurations is used, the license controlling the GBFD-118104 Enhanced EDGE
the same output power for each carrier on the MRFUe.

l * indicates that the UMTS mode is supported in terms of hardware.

l The output power is 1 dB lesser than the standard power when the RRU3908 is located at a height of 3500

l For the RRU3908 V2 working in GSM mode and operating in the 900 MHz frequency band: after design
optimization, the 8PSK and GMSK modulation schemes enable the same output power for each carrier on
the RRU3908 V2 when any of the S1 through S6 configurations is used. When the S7 or S8 configuration
is used, the license controlling the GBFD-118104 Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature must be obtained.
Otherwise, the 8PSK and GMSK modulation schemes cannot enable the same output power for each carrier
on the RRU3908 V2.

NOTE
l If the power sharing feature is activated, assume that UEs in a cell are randomly located.
l If the RF module is placed at an altitude of 3500 to 4500 meters, its power reduces by 1 dB. If the RF module
is placed at an altitude of 4500 to 6000 meters, its power reduces by 2 dB.
l Station spacing, frequency multiplexing factor, power control algorithm, and traffic model all affect the
gains of dynamic power sharing. In most cases, network plans are designed on the basis of power
specifications of dynamic power sharing.
l For the RRU3936 working in GSM mode: when the S1 configuration is applied, the maximum output power
of each carrier on the RRU3936 is 80 W. If the output power of 60 W or 80 W is required, the related license
must be obtained. After design optimization, the 8 phase shift keying (8PSK) and Gaussian minimum shift-
frequency keying (GMSK) modulation schemes enable the same output power for each carrier on the the
RF module when the S1, S2, or S3 configuration is used. When any of the S4 through S8 configurations is
used, the license controlling the GBFD-118104 Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature must be obtained.
Otherwise, the 8PSK and GMSK modulation schemes cannot enable the same output power for each carrier
on the RRU3936.

l The receiver sensitivity of GSM, as recommended in 3GPP TS 51.021, is measured in the central band (80%
of the entire operating band, excluding the edge band) at the antenna connector on the condition that the
channel rate is 13 kbit/s and the Bit Error Rate (BER) is not higher than 2%.
l The receiver sensitivity of UMTS, as recommended in 3GPP TS 25.104, is measured in the entire operating
band at the antenna connector on the condition that the channel rate is 12.2 kbit/s and the BER is not higher
than 0.001.
l The RRU3942 that works in GSM mode and operates in the 850 MHz/1900 MHz frequency band complies
with the 3GPP TS 45.005 V10.2.0 and 3GPP TS 51.021 V10.2.0 standards. The RRU3942 that works in
UMTS or multiple service ring (MSR) mode and operates in the 850 MHz/1900 MHz frequency band
complies with the 3GPP TS 37.104 V10.4.0 and TS 37.141 V10.4.0 standards.
