1 Introduction
1.1 Positioning
The rapid development in the field of mobile communications technology brings about
sharp growth in the number of mobile phone users, which increasingly pose high
requirements in the network quality of operators. In urban areas, network quality in
places such as office buildings, business centers, and hotels has caught much
attention. However, the size and weight of the BTS normally cause difficulty in
acquiring a suitable site for operators during network deployment. Customer-oriented
and innovative, Huawei unveils the industry-leading BTS3900E GSM (hereafter
referred to as BTS3900E).
Characterized by its small size, large capacity, and low power consumption and only
one functional module, the BTS3900E, is an integrated BTS with outstanding
performance, which provides an excellent indoor coverage solution for operators.
Generally, indoor coverage is accompanied with difficult site selection and high
requirements on network performance. The highly integrated BTS3900E is designed
with only one functional module. Small and lightweight, the BTS3900E is easy to
install and endowed with high capacity and extraordinary performance, rendering it
an effective solution for operators. Beyond that, the BTS3900E complies with the
International Protection standard IP65. The strong outdoor environment adaptability
enables the BTS3900E to fulfill outdoor installation requirements, and to achieve
good performance even for coverage in urban hotspots and rural outlying areas.
The BTS3900E supports up to six carriers. Capacity can be expanded through the
addition of modules. Each synchronous site supports up to 18 carriers. Figure 1-1
shows the BTS3900E.

1.2 Benefits
Compact Structure and Quick Network Construction
The BTS3900E has a highly integrated design, requiring less cable connections and
facilitates installation and maintenance. In compliance with the IP65 protection
degree, the BTS3900E features strong environment adaptability and has no need for
an equipment room. The BTS3900E can share the Distributed Antenna System (DAS)
on the existing network to maximize the investment protection for operators during
network upgrade. Meanwhile, the compact and lightweight BTS3900E has a small
number of spare parts, thus greatly reducing the cost of transportation and
maintenance. The various installation options such as wall-mounted, tower-mounted,
support-mounted, and pole-mounted are possible with the BTS3900E. These options
can well address the operators' requirements for quick and flexible site deployment,
significantly accelerating network construction.

2 Architecture
2.1 Overview
With a highly integrated structure, the BTS3900E incorporates all the following
functions of conventional BTSs in one functional module:
l Transmission
l Main control
l Baseband processing
l RF processing
The BTS3900E has two types of functional modules: AC module and DC module,
where the former supports 110 and 220 V AC power inputs and the latter supports –
48 V DC power input.

3 Application Scenarios
3.1 General
The increasingly difficult site lease has made site acquisition into a bottleneck for
network construction. To address this issue, operators are pressing for a BTS with
low site requirements. With only one module required to be installed, the BTS3900E
features easy installation and low environment requirements, which reduces difficulty
in site acquisition. The BTS3900E has a wide variety of installation options, such as
installation on a pole, wall, tower (not for the AC module), or stand.
Figure3-1 shows the typical installation options of the BTS3900E.

If the module is mounted on a tower or a pole, the vertical height of the module must
be less than or equal to 15 m.
Indoor Coverage
Along with the development of cities, the indoor mobile application has become
widespread. For indoor coverage scenarios, however, operators are facing great
challenges from the perspective of site selection and construction speed. If macro
BTSs are used to serve indoor coverage, operators are frequently confronted with
high lease cost of equipment rooms, and the noises generated by macro BTSs make
site acquisition even more difficult. Therefore, operators are pressing for a BTS that
places the equipment room in dispensable and generates low noises. In indoor
coverage scenarios, the BTS may be installed in locations such as the light-current
shaft, or storeroom. Such locations present complicated environment, confined
installation space, and highly difficult installation, which requires the BTS compact,
light, and possessed with strong environment adaptability.
Attributing to its compact structure and marvelous performance, the BTS3900E aids
operators in constructing an indoor network with high capacity and good coverage.
Such network, without doubt, brings more benefits for operators. As a signal source,
the BTS3900E, combined with the DAS, can be widely applied in indoor coverage
scenarios that require high capacity and quality, such as hotels, office buildings,
supermarkets, and business centers. Figure 3-2 shows one of the application
scenarios.

Hotspot Coverage
In urban hotspot areas, high capacity of a BTS is always contradictory to the easy
installation of the BTS. The compact and light BTS3900E with high capacity, however,
allows easy site selection, simple engineering, and easy installation, thus contributing
to fast network deployment at lower costs for operators. The BTS3900E can be used
to absorb traffic or fill coverage holes in hotspot areas. Figure 3-3 shows the
application in the hotspot coverage scenario.

Rural Coverage
The BTS with low power consumption and strong environment adaptability can well
fulfill applications in rural areas, network deployment of which is always complicated
by deficient transmission resources and instable power supply. In addition to
significant reduction in power consumption, the BTS3900E saves much energy and
takes advantage of green energy, such as luminous energy, wind energy, and
methane that are abundant in rural areas. The BTS3900E complies with IP65 and is
strongly adaptive to temperature and outdoor environment. The BTS3900E works at
–40℃ to +45℃ in the presence of solar radiation and at –40℃ to +50℃ in the
absence of solar radiation. Furthermore, the BTS3900E supports wide AC power
voltage range from 90 V to 290 V to satisfy requirements of areas with unstable
power supply voltage.
With only one module, the BTS3900E features simple structure and easy installation.
Therefore, requirements for installation techniques and tools are low, and engineers
after receiving simple training are qualified to install the BTS3900E. The BTS3900E
can have significant achievements in rural areas where demand on wide coverage is
not high. Figure 3-4 shows the rural coverage scenario.
