Hardware Description 3 Working Principles and Functions of the BBU
3 Working Principles and Functions of the

BBU
A BBU is a baseband unit. It processes baseband signals of a base station.
Working Principle
A BBU consists of the following subsystems: baseband subsystem, power and mechanical
subsystem, transmission subsystem, interconnection subsystem, main control subsystem,
monitoring subsystem, and clock subsystem. Each subsystem consists of different modules.
l Baseband subsystem: baseband processing unit
l Power and mechanical subsystem: backplane, fan module, and power module
l Transmission subsystem: main control and transmission unit
l Interconnection subsystem: main control and transmission unit
l Main control subsystem: main control and transmission unit
l Monitoring subsystem: power module and monitoring unit
l Clock subsystem: main control and transmission unit as well as satellite card and clock
unit
The following figure shows the working principle of a BBU.

BBU5900
Figure 3-1 Working principle of a BBU
Figure 3-2 Working principle of a BBU (in LampSite scenarios)
Function
A BBU performs the following functions:

BBU5900
l Provides ports for connecting to the transmission equipment, RF modules, USB devicesa,
external reference clock, and LMT or U2000 to transmit signals, perform automatic base
station software upgrade, receive reference clock signals, and support maintenance on
the LMT or U2000.
l Manages the entire base station system. The management involves uplink and downlink
data processing, signaling processing, resource management, and operation and
maintenance.
NOTE
a: The security of the USB loading port is ensured by encryption, and the USB loading port can be shut
down using commands. The USB commissioning port is used for commissioning the base station rather
than configuring and exporting information of the base station.

Function
A UMPT performs the following functions:
l Manages configurations and devices, monitors performance, and processes signaling of a

base station.
l Processes signaling and manages resources for other boards in the BBU.

BBU5900
l Provides a USB port, transmission ports, and a maintenance port, which are used for
automatic software upgrade, signal transmission, and LMT- or U2000-based BBU
maintenance.
Working Principle
The following figure shows the working principle of a UMPT.

Used for transmitting radio frequency (RF)
signals received from the antenna to the satellite
card (GPS ports on the UMPTb2 and UMPTe2.)
USBc USB connector Used for the software upgrade of a base station
using a USB flash drive. This port also functions
as a commissioning Ethernet portd.
CLK USB connector l Used for receiving TOD signals

l Port for clock signal outputs. The clock
signals are used for testing.
CIe SFP female Used for connecting to another BBU or a USU

connector
RST - Used for resetting the board
a and b: FE/GE electrical ports and FE/GE optical ports on a UMPT can be used at the
same time.
c: The security of the USB port is ensured by encryption, and the USB port can be shut
down using commands.
d: When the USB port functions as a commissioning Ethernet port, ensure that an OM port
has been enabled and the user has obtained required authorities for accessing the base
station through the OM port before accessing the base station through the USB port.
e: When the status of the CI port on the UMPTe board is switched to DOWN, the
transmission bearing configuration is deleted. In this case, the base station does not report
transmission-related alarms because no transmission bearing configuration is available.
l The possible reason for the DOWN status of CI port is that the fiber optic cable
connected to the CI port is removed or that the peer device is powered off.
l Transmission-related alarms include SCTP Link Fault, IP Address Conflict, and IP
Excessive Frame Error Rate.
The following table lists the specifications of the CI port on a UMPT.

l Processes uplink and downlink baseband signals.
l Supports the multiplex of baseband resources among different modes, thereby
implementing multimode concurrency.

RRU3908 V1, cannot use 10 Gbit/s optical modules.
l A fiber optic cable must use the same type of optical modules on its two ends. If different types of
optical modules are used by a fiber optic cable, performance risks may arise, for example, alarms, bit
errors, and interrupted links.
l Only Huawei-certified optical modules meeting the following requirements can be used for Huawei
wireless devices:
l Requirements of devices on which optical modules are to be installed
l Laser safety in the IEC 60825-1 standard

NOTE
QSFP optical modules are applicable only to BBUs, AAU5271, AAU5281, AAU5612, and radio
multiplex units (RMUs), but not to RRUs and other AAUs. In addition, only QSFP optical modules with
a data rate of 40 Gbit/s are applicable to the RMUs.
SFP optical modules are not applicable to AAU5271, AAU5281 or AAU5612.

Label on an Optical Module

There is a label on each optical module, which provides information such as the rate,
wavelength, and transmission mode, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 6-24 Label on an optical module (SFP)
(1) Rate (2) Wavelength (3) Transmission mode
Figure 6-25 Label on an optical module (QSFP)
(1) Rate (2) Wavelength (3) Transmission mode
(1) Rate (2) Wavelength (3) Transmission mode (4) Connected module
There are different types of optical modules which are configured depending on the actual
application scenarios, see CPRI Fiber Optic Cable in 5900 Series Base Station Cables.

BBU5900
Optical Module Type

Optical modules can be divided into single- and multimode optical modules, which can be
distinguished as follows:
l The puller of a single-mode optical module is blue and the puller of a multimode optical
module is black or gray.
l The transmission mode is displayed as "SM" on the label of a single-mode optical
module and "MM" on the label of a multimode optical module.
