ALD Management Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
ALD is a generic term for antenna devices, such as the remote electrical tilt (RET) antenna,
tower-mounted amplifier (TMA), same-band antenna sharing unit (SASU), and active antenna
system (AAS) module. Currently, a maximum of six ALDs can be cascaded on a control port
of a remote radio unit (RRU)/radio frequency unit (RFU) to enable the RET function, and the
number of each type of ALD varies in different application scenarios.
Table 2-1 lists the capabilities of GSM, UMTS, and LTE radio access technology (RAT) systems

2.2 RET Antenna

One RET antenna consists of one remote control unit (RCU) and one or more RET subunits.
l The RCU is the control unit of an RET antenna. It receives and runs the control commands
from the base station and drives the stepper motor. The stepper motor drives the phase
shifter inside the antenna device, and the phase shifter adjusts the antenna tilt. Interface
RS485 functions as the control interface of the RCU.
l RET subunits are antenna devices that can be independently controlled.
An RET antenna may comprise more than one RET subunit combined in a single physical entity.
The RET antenna is classified into the following types:
l A single-antenna RET antenna (SINGLE_RET) has only one RET subunit.

l A multi-antenna RET antenna (MULTI_RET) has multiple RET subunits, each of which
supports the configuration file download and downtilt setting. A multi-antenna RET
antenna can be regarded as a set of single-antenna RET antennas installed in a radome.
The RET antenna has the following benefits:
l Remote adjustment eliminates onsite operations. Antenna maintenance is not subject to site
conditions such as weather and location.
l High adjustment efficiency reduces network optimization and maintenance costs.
l Adjustable downtilt prevents coverage distortion, which improves signal coverage and
decreases neighboring cell interference.
Compared with antennas with mechanical downtilts, RET antennas have the disadvantages of
higher cost and higher complexity.
2.3 TMA
A TMA is a low noise amplifier (LNA) installed next to the antenna. It improves the signal-to-
noise ratio (SNR), sensitivity, and uplink coverage of a base station.
TMAs are classified into two types: common TMA and smart TMA. Unlike common TMAs,
smart TMAs support the Antenna Interface Standards Group (AISG) protocol. Unless otherwise
stated in this document, "TMA" refers to a smart TMA.
TMAs have a built-in smart bias-tee (SBT) that performs the following functions:
l Converts RS485 signals received from the RCU to on-off-keying (OOK) signals, and
converts OOK signals received from the RRU or RFU to RS485 signals

SingleRAN
l Feeds DC power from the remote radio unit (RRU)/radio frequency unit (RFU) to the RCU
NOTE
l The SBT provides DC power supply and control commands through the feeder for the RCU. The SBT
is applied on the RET antenna side.
l When an RRU or RFU connects to a TMA, at least one RF port supporting RET antennas must connect
to this TMA so that the RRU/RFU can transmit control signals to the TMA. For details about capabilities
of RF modules to support RET antennas, see Table 2-2 and Table 2-3.
The TMA provides the following functions:
l Amplifies uplink signals to compensate for attenuation from an antenna to an RRU or RFU
l Balances signal amplification between the uplink and downlink
A TMA has one or two subunits and supports amplification of one or two uplink RF signals.
2.4 SASU
An SASU is a Huawei customized device for antenna sharing between intra-band GSM and
UMTS modes at a multimode site. Antenna sharing helps operators reduce their capital
expenditure (CAPEX). Currently, the SASU supports only the 900 MHz and 2100 MHz
frequency bands.
The SASU uses two subunits to amplify uplink signals of GSM and UMTS systems.
2.5 AAS Module
2.5.1 Overview
An AAS module is a combination of RF modules and antennas.
The passive antennas and RCUs in the AAS provide the antenna and RET functions, respectively,
for the RRU/RFU that are connected to the AAS module.
For details about an AAS product, see the hardware description of the AAS product. Different
types of AAS modules have different sets of integrated dual-polarized antennas. For example,
the AAU3901 is configured with three sets of integrated dual-polarized antennas and the
AAU3910 is configured with two sets of them. For details about the mapping between AAU3901
or AAU3910 integrated antennas and either of the following: inserted modules, RET functions,
and external ports, see AAU3901 Hardware Description and AAU3910 Hardware
Description, respectively.
2.5.2 AAS Modules with Passive Antennas

An AAS module with passive antennas, and the built-in RCUs remotely control the downtilts
of these antennas provides the RET function for RRUs/RFUs in the same way as the RET
function on conventional antennas. The AAS module with passive antennas supports in
accordance with the protocol AISG 2.0.
The AAS module supports the RET function by using the Active Antenna-Management Unit
(AAMU), the RETPORT on the AAS active module, or the RRU/RFU. You can choose only

SingleRAN
one method based on onsite connections and AAS capabilities. Table 2-5 lists the capabilities
of AAS modules to support the RET function.

ALD Management Feature Parameter Description 3 ALD Management Functions
3 ALD Management Functions
3.1 RET Antenna Functions
3.1.1 Connections Between RET Antennas and RRUs/RFUs

RET antennas and RRUs/RFUs can be connected in a regular or daisy chain scenario. When
splitters are used, RET antennas and RRUs/RFUs can be connected in a sector splitting scenario.
Regular Scenario
In a regular scenario, an RRU can be connected to one RET antenna through the RET port
(RETPORT) or RF port (ANTENNAPORT). The RFU does not have an RETPORT and
therefore can be connected to one RET antenna only through the ANTENNAPORT.
l Connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT

An AISG multi-wire cable connects the RETPORT on the RRU to the RCU of the RET
antenna, as shown in Figure 3-1. With the integrated BT, the RRU can send RS485 control
signals and feed 12 V DC power to the RCU through the RETPORT. Therefore, no SBT
is required. This connection mode is recommended when the distance between the RRU
and the RET antenna is shorter than 20 m. For the data configurations in this connection
mode, see the following scenarios:
– eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: scenario 1 in section 7.4 Deployment.
– GBTS: scenario 1 in section 8.4 Deployment.

SingleRAN
Figure 3-1 Connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT
l Connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT

An SBT is required in this connection mode. Feeders and jumpers connect the RRU or
RFU, SBT, and RET antenna, and an AISG multi-wire cable connects the SBT to the RCU
of the RET antenna, as shown in Figure 3-2. The RRU or RFU combines OOK signals, 12
V DC power, and RF signals, and sends the combined signals to the SBT through feeders.
The SBT splits the combined signals into two links. RF signals are sent to the RET antenna
on one link. On the other link, OOK signals are converted to RS485 control signals and 12
V DC power is forwarded to the RCU through an AISG multi-wire cable. For the data
configurations in this connection mode, see the following scenarios:

SingleRAN
Figure 3-2 Connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT
Connection modes shown in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2 also apply to a multimode base
station. For details about data configuration, see chapter 6 Engineering Guidelines (ALD
Manual Deployment on Multimode Base Station).
l Connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT (with an external BT)
This connection mode applies to RRUs without a BT that are installed 20 m or farther away
from RET antennas, such as the RRU3801C (20 W) for UMTS, and RRU3220 for LTE.
Without a BT, RF ports cannot provide 12 V DC power for RET antennas. In this case,
connect the RETPORT on an RRU to an external Bias Tee (BT) and connect an external
SBT to an RET antenna for power supply to the antenna, as shown in Figure 3-3. The BT
is the passive component that couples RF signals or OOK signals with feeder signals. The
BT is applied on the base station side. For the data configurations in this connection mode,
see the following scenarios:

SingleRAN

Figure 3-3 Connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT (with an external BT)
Daisy Chain Scenario

In a daisy chain scenario, two or more RCUs are connected by AISG multi-wire cables. The
upper-level RCU provides RS485 control signals and power for the lower-level RCU. In Figure
3-4, RRUs are cascaded by connecting to the RET antennas through the RETPORT. This
connection mode applies to the scenario where antennas for multiple sectors are centrally
installed, for example, on the same pole or tower. In Figure 3-5, RRUs/RFUs are cascaded by
connecting to the RET antennas through the ANTENNAPORT. The connection through the
ANTENNAPORT requires SBTs, and cascading can reduce the number of required SBTs. In
such a case, the RET antennas can be configured on the RRU or RFU that provides RS485 signals
and power for the RET antennas.
In this scenario, the SCENARIO parameter for all RET antennas must be set to
DAISY_CHAIN, and the RET antennas are identified by serial numbers.
For the data configurations in the connection modes shown in Figure 3-4 andFigure 3-5, see
the following scenarios:

SingleRAN
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: scenario 1 and 2 in section 7.4 Deployment.

l GBTS: scenario 1 and 2 in section 8.4 Deployment.

SingleRAN
Connection modes shown in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5 also apply to a multimode base station
with independent antennas. The configured RRUs/RFUs serve different modes.
The RET antenna data of a multimode base station must be configured only in a single mode.
For details about data configuration, see chapter 6 Engineering Guidelines (ALD Manual
Deployment on Multimode Base Station). In Figure 3-4, if RRU(1) is managed by the GBTS/
eGBTS or eNodeB (the RET data is configured on the GBTS/eGBTS or eNodeB side), the
SCENARIO parameters must be set to DAISY_CHAIN for RET antennas connected to RRU
(1) and RRU(2). If RRU(1) is managed by the NodeB (the RET data is configured on the NodeB
side), the SCENARIO parameters must be set to DAISY_CHAIN and 2G_EXTENSION for
the RET antennas connected to RRU(1) and RRU(2), respectively.
Some RF modules, such as the RRU3942 and RRU3841, have four RF ports. These RF modules
have two or more RF ports to support RET functions in addition to the RETPORT. For details,
see Table 2-3. Two RF ports on these RF modules can be paired and connected to one antenna
to provide various transmit or receive functions. When the RRU3942 or RRU3841 is used, you
can refer to RRU3942 Hardware Description or RRU3841 Hardware Description.
The following description assumes that the RRU3942 uses a 2T4R configuration. "T" and "R"
indicate transmission and reception, respectively. RF ports ANT_A and ANT_C on the
RRU3942 are paired and connected to one antenna, and RF ports ANT_B and ANT_D are paired
and connected to the other antenna.
When the RRU3942 is installed less than 20 m away from RET antennas, the RRU3942 is
connected to the RET antennas through the RETPORT. The RET antennas are cascaded because
the RRU3942 has only one RETPORT, as shown in Figure 3-6.

SingleRAN
Figure 3-7 shows how the RRU3942 and RET antennas are connected to provide the 2T4R
function when the RRU3942 is installed more than 20 m away from the RET antennas and the
RET antennas are centrally installed.

SingleRAN
In this connection mode, RF port ANT_A is the control port for the two RET antennas connected
to the RRU3942. For the data configuration for this connection mode, see scenario 2 in section
7.4 Deployment for an eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB or scenario 2 in section 8.4 Deployment for a
GBTS.
Sector Splitting Scenario

The sector splitting scenario applies to UMTS only. In this scenario, the RRU or RFU is
connected to splitters and then RET antennas, as shown in Figure 3-8.

SingleRAN
Figure 3-8 Sector splitting scenario
In this scenario, the SCENARIO parameter for all RET antennas must be set to
SECTOR_SPLITTING, and the RET antennas are identified by serial numbers. For the data
configuration of this connection mode for an eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB, see scenario 2 in section
7.4 Deployment.This connection mode does not apply to the GBTS.
GATM Scenario
The GSM Antenna and TMA Control module (GATM) scenario applies to the GBTS only. In
this scenario, a DRFU, which cannot provide OOK signals or support BT function, can be
connected to an RET antenna through a BT and SBT, as shown in Figure 3-9. The GATM
provides OOK signals and 12 V DC power for the BT. Then the BT combines OOK signals, 12
V DC power, and RF signals sent by the DRFU and sends the combined signals to the SBT
through feeders. The SBT splits the combined signals received into two links. RF signals are

SingleRAN
sent to the RET antenna on one link. On the other link, OOK signals are converted to RS485
control signals and 12 V DC power is forwarded to the RCU through an AISG multi-wire cable.
Because of its hardware limitations, the GATM supports only RET antennas compatible with
AISG1.1 protocols and does not support RET antennas compatible with AISG2.0 protocols.
Figure 3-9 GATM scenario
For the data configuration for this connection mode, see scenario 5 in section 8.4
Deployment.
3.1.2 Operations on RET Antennas

The base station can perform operations, including configuration file loading, antenna
calibration, and downtilt setting, on each RET subunit separately.
l Configuration file loading

A configuration file describes the relationship between the RCU and the RET subunit
downtilt. The configuration file is provided by the RET antenna manufacturer. Some RET
antennas have been loaded with default configuration files before delivery. For antennas
without default configuration files, run the following command to load the configuration
files:
– GBTS: LOD BTSRETCFGDATA. Before you run this command, run the DLD
BTSALDFILE command to download the configuration file from the file server to the
base station controller (BSC) operation and maintenance unit (OMU).

SingleRAN
– eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: DLD RETCFGDATA

Ensure that correct configuration files have been loaded to the RET antennas before antenna
calibration. If an incorrect configuration file is loaded, the RET antenna will experience
unexpected errors, and the loaded configuration file cannot be queried. You can obtain the
configuration file information only from the related operation log. You are advised to load
the configuration file to the RET antennas of one or two base stations, and check whether
the actual downtilts are the same as the configured downtilts. If the downtilts are the same,
the configuration file is correct.
NOTE
Run the following command to query dynamic information about RET additional data:
GBTS: DSP BTSRETDEVICEDATA
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: DSP RETDEVICEDATA
If any information is incorrect in the command output, for example, the values of Max tilt and Min
tilt are NULL, no configuration file was loaded or the configuration file is lost.
l Antenna calibration
After an RET antenna is installed, run the following command to calibrate the RET antenna:
– GBTS: CLB BTSRET
– eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: CLB RET
During the calibration, the RCU adjusts the RET antenna within the downtilt range so that
the RET antenna operates properly. If the RET antenna is not calibrated, the base station
reports ALM-26753 RET Antenna Not Calibrated.
NOTE
An RET antenna does not need to be calibrated again after it is reset or powered off.
l Downtilt setting
1. After the RET antenna is calibrated, run the following command to query the supported
downtilt range:
GBTS: DSP BTSRETDEVICEDATA
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: DSP RETDEVICEDATA
NOTE
The downtilt range of an RET antenna varies according to the manufacturer and model.
2. Run the following command to set an RET subunit downtilt:
GBTS: MOD BTSRETSUBUNIT
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: MOD RETSUBUNIT
Setting the downtilt of an RET subunit affects the coverage of the RET antenna. Set the
downtilt based on the engineering design.
The base station can perform operations on the RCU separately, including software
download and RCU reset.
l RCU software download
Run the following command to download the RCU software:
– GBTS: LOD BTSALDSW. Before you run this command, run the DLD
BTSALDFILE command to download the RCU software from the file server to the
BSC OMU.

SingleRAN
– eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: DLD ALDSW

For details about the RCU software, see the documents provided by the RET antenna
manufacturer.
l RCU reset
Run the following command to reset the RCU:
– GBTS: RST BTSALD
– eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: RST ALD
Resetting the RCU does not change the RET antenna downtilt.
3.2 TMA Functions
3.2.1 Connections Between the TMA, RRU/RFU, and RET Antenna

If an RRU or RFU is to be connected to an RET antenna through a TMA, the RRU or RFU
control port must be connected to the TMA control port.
Connection to the RET Antenna Through the ANTENNAPORT (with a TMA)

A TMA is connected to an RRU or RFU and RET antenna, and is powered by the RRU or RFU.
With the integrated SBT, the TMA splits combined signals from the RRUs or RFUs into two
links. RF signals are sent to the RET antenna on one link. On the other link, OOK signals are
converted to RS485 control signals and 12 V DC power is forwarded to the RCU through an
AISG multi-wire cable.
Figure 3-10 shows how an RRU or RFU with two RF ports is connected to the TMA and RET
antenna.

SingleRAN
Figure 3-10 Connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT (with a TMA)
For the data configurations in this connection mode, see the following scenarios:
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: scenario 3 in section 7.4 Deployment.

l GBTS: scenario 3 in section 8.4 Deployment.
Figure 3-11 shows how two RF modules are cascaded and then connected to the TMA and RET
antenna. In this mode, RF ports ANT_A on the two RF modules are connected to the TMA and
RET antenna, and either RF port ANT_A can be the control port for the RET antenna connected
to the two RF modules.

SingleRAN
Figure 3-11 Two cascaded RF modules connected to the TMA and RET antenna
For the data configurations in this connection mode, see the following scenarios:

When RRUs with four RF ports are connected to two antennas, two RF ports on these RRUs
can be paired and connected to one antenna. The following description assumes that the
RRU3942 uses a 2T4R configuration. RF ports ANT_A and ANT_C on the RRU3942 are paired
and connected to one antenna, and RF ports ANT_B and ANT_D are paired and connected to
the other antenna. Figure 3-12 shows how the RRU3942 is connected to the TMA and RET
antenna.

SingleRAN
Figure 3-12 RRU3942 (2T4R) connected to the TMA and RET antenna
In this connection mode, RF ports ANT_A and ANT_B are the control ports for Antenna(1) and
Antenna(2), respectively. For the data configurations in this connection mode, see the following
scenarios:
Connection to the RET Antenna Through the RETPORT (with a TMA)

This connection mode applies to RRUs without a BT, such as the RRU3004 for GSM,
RRU3801C (20 W) for UMTS, and RRU3220 for LTE. Without a BT, RF ports cannot provide
12 V DC power for antennas. In this case, connect the RETPORT on an RRU to an external BT
to provide power for antennas, as shown in Figure 3-13.

SingleRAN
The signal transmission process is as follows:

1. The RRU supplies 12 V DC power and sends RS485 control signals to the external BT
through an AISG multi-wire cable.
2. The BT converts RS485 control signals to OOK signals, combines the OOK signals and
RF signals, and sends the combined signals to the TMA.
3. The TMA splits the combined signals into two links. RF signals are sent to the RET antenna
on one link. On the other link, OOK signals are converted to RS485 control signals and 12
V DC power is forwarded to the RCU through an AISG multi-wire cable. For the data
configuration for this connection mode, see scenario 4 in section 7.4 Deployment for an
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB or scenario 4 in section 8.4 Deployment for a GBTS.
Figure 3-13 Connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT (with a TMA)

SingleRAN
Connection to the TMA Through the GATM

Connections between the GATM and TMA apply to the GBTS only. In this scenario, a DRFU
is connected to a TMA through a GATM and BT, as shown in Figure 3-14. The GATM feeds
12 V DC power to the BT. Then, the BT combines the OOK signals, 12 V DC power, and RF
signals and sends the combined signals to the TMA.
The GATM can supply power only to the connected TMA. The TMA provides the default gains,
not the configured gains. You need to configure parameters related to the power switch and
current alarm threshold for the port on the GATM connecting to the TMA. For details about data
preparation, see Table 8-11. Then, configure parameters related to the RX channel attenuation.
For details about data preparation, see Table 8-9. RET data is not involved in this connection
mode.

3.2.2 Operations on the TMA

NOTE
The gain of the TMA with fixed gain is not configurable.
TMA gain and working mode are configurable.
l Setting TMA working mode

SingleRAN
By default, the TMA is set to NORMAL working mode to ensure normal operation. If you
run the following command with the MODE parameter set to BYPASS, the TMA serves
as a straight-through feeder and does not amplify signals:
– GBTS: MOD BTSTMASUBUNIT
– eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: MOD TMASUBUNIT
l Setting TMA gain
1. Run the following command to query the value range of TMA gain:
GBTS: DSP BTSTMADEVICEDATA
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: DSP TMADEVICEDATA
2. Run the following command to set TMA subunit gain:
GBTS: MOD BTSTMASUBUNIT
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: MOD TMASUBUNIT
The base station can perform operations on the TMA separately, including software download
and TMA reset.
l TMA software download

Run the following command to download the TMA software:
– GBTS: LOD BTSALDSW. Before you run this command, run the DLD
BTSALDFILE command to download the TMA software from the file server to the
BSC OMU.
– eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: DLD ALDSW
For details about the TMA software, see the documents provided by the TMA manufacturer.
l TMA reset
Run the following command to reset the TMA:
– GBTS: RST BTSALD
– eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: RST ALD
Resetting the TMA does not change the TMA gain and working mode.
3.3 SASU Functions
3.3.1 Connections Between the SASU, RRU/RFU, and RET Antenna

Figure 3-15 shows how the SASU, RRUs/RFUs, and RET antenna are connected when RRUs/
RFUs for GSM (referred to as 2G) and UMTS (referred to as 3G) share one RET antenna and
the SASU is installed less than 20 m away from the RET antenna. With the integrated SBT, the
SASU splits combined 3G signals from the RRUs/RFUs into two links. RF signals and 2G signals
are combined and sent to the RET antenna on one link. On the other link, OOK signals are
converted to RS485 control signals and 12 V DC power is forwarded to the RCU through an
AISG multi-wire cable.

SingleRAN
Figure 3-15 SASU directly connected to the RET antenna
SASU data can be configured only on the NodeB side. Because the SASU is an active device,
you need to turn on the power switch for the 3G RRU control port on the NodeB side, and specify
current alarm thresholds. For connection mode in Figure 3-15, set the DCSWITCH parameter
for the SASU to OFF. Otherwise, the RET antenna will short-circuit. For the data configuration
for this connection mode, see scenario 5 in section 7.4 Deployment.
Figure 3-16 shows how the SASU, RRUs/RFUs, TMA, and RET antenna are connected when
the SASU is installed greater than 20 m away from the RET antenna. The SASU combines 2G
and 3G signals and sends the combined signals to the TMA. The TMA splits the combined
signals into two links. RF signals are sent to the RET antenna on one link. On the other link,
OOK signals are converted to RS485 control signals and 12 V DC power is forwarded to the
RCU through an AISG multi-wire cable.

SingleRAN
Figure 3-16 SASU connected to the TMA and RET antenna
SASU data can be configured only on the NodeB side. In this connection mode, the
DCSWITCH parameter for the SASU cannot be set to OFF because the TMA is an active device.
If the DCSWITCH parameter is set to UMTS, specify the DCLOAD parameter for SASU
subunits so that the TMA connected to the SASU can be acknowledged by the base transceiver
station (BTS). For the data configuration for this connection mode, see scenario 6 in section 7.4
Deployment..
3.3.2 Operations on the SASU

The SASU DC power switch, gain, and working mode are configurable only on the NodeB side.
l Setting the DC power switch

SingleRAN
When the SASU is connected to the RET antenna through a TMA, run the MOD SASU
command with the DCSWITCH parameter set to any value except OFF. When the SASU
is directly connected to the RET antenna, set the DCSWITCH parameter for the SASU to
OFF. Otherwise, the RET antenna will short-circuit.
l Setting SASU working mode
By default, the SASU is set to NORMAL working mode to ensure normal operation. If
you run the MOD SASUSUBUNIT command with the MODE parameter set to
BYPASS, the SASU serves as a straight-through feeder and does not amplify signals.
l Setting SASU gain
1. Run the DSP SASUDEVICEDATA command to query the value range of SASU gain.
2. Run the MOD SASUSUBUNIT command to set SASU subunit gain.
The base station can perform operations on the SASU separately, including software download
and SASU reset.
l SASU software download

Run the DLD ALDSW command to download the SASU software.
For details about the SASU software, see the documents provided by the SASU
manufacturer.
l SASU reset
Run the RST ALD command to reset the SASU.
Resetting the SASU does not change the SASU gain and working mode.
3.4 AAS Functions
3.4.1 Connections Between the AAS Module with Passive

Antennas, RRU/RFU, and BBU
An AAS module with passive antennas has two types of external ports: an RET port (RETPORT)
and an RF port (ANTENNAPORT). The ANTENNAPORT can be at the bottom of the AAAU
or on the AAPU. Some AAS modules, for example, the AAU3910, have AISG ports that can
be connected to RRUs or RFUs for the RET function. Table 2-5 lists the capabilities of AAS
modules to support the RET function.
Scenario 1: Using the AAMU for the RET function on the AAS Module
As shown in Figure 3-17, RRUs or RFUs connect to an AAS module with passive antennas
through external ports on the AAS module. Choose an appropriate external port to connect the
RRU or RFU to the AAS module. The integrated RCU provides the RET function for the AAS
module with passive antennas and the RCU is controlled by the AAMU. In this scenario, the
RET function for the AAS module with passive antennas must be set by the mode that manages
the AAS module. In SRAN8.0, the AAS module with passive antennas can be managed only by
the UMTS mode, and therefore the RET function must be set in the UMTS mode that manages
the AAS module with passive antennas for the GSM mode.
Before setting the RET function, you must configure the AAS module. Compared with the RET
function on conventional antennas, the RET function on the AAS module with passive antennas

SingleRAN
does not require you to configure power supply switches or current alarm thresholds. Instead,
you can directly configure the RET function:
l For the AAU3901, RETTYPE must be set to MULTI_RET. You can determine which
antenna to use for the RET function according to the RET subunit.
l For other AAS modules, RETTYPE and SCENARIO must be set to SINGLE_RET and
DAISY_CHAIN, respectively. You can determine which antenna to use for the RET
function according to the serial number of the integrated antenna. If you need to use only
one set of antennas for the RET function, set SCENARIO to DAISY_CHAIN. In this case,
specify the VENDORCODE and SERIALNO parameters because the antennas in the AAS
module are working in daisy chain mode. For the serial numbers of the integrated antennas
in the AAS module, see the hardware description of the AAS module. For the data
configuration for this connection mode, see scenario 7 in section 7.4 Deployment.
Figure 3-17 Connections to the RRUs/RFUs and BBU (AAMU for RET function)
Scenario 2: Using the RRU/RFU for the RET function on the AAS Module
When the RET function for an AAS module with passive antennas is provided by an RRU or
RFU connecting to the AAS module, the connections between the RRU or RFU and the AAS
module are similar to the connections between the RRU or RFU and the conventional RET
antennas except for the AISG port configuration, as shown in Figure 3-18. In this scenario, the
AAS module functions as the convention RET antennas. Therefore, the configuration can be
performed in the same way as that for conventional RET antennas.
You can configure the RET function: RETTYPE and SCENARIO must be set to
SINGLE_RET and DAISY_CHAIN, respectively. You can determine which antenna to use
for the RET function according to the antenna serial number.
If you need to use only one set of antennas for the RET function, set SCENARIO to
DAISY_CHAIN. In this case, specify the VENDORCODE and SERIALNO parameters
because the antennas in the AAS module are working in daisy chain mode. For the serial numbers
of the integrated antennas in the AAS module, see the hardware description of the AAS module.
For other data configurations,

SingleRAN
l If the RRU is to use an RETPORT to send RET signals to the AAS module, see scenario
1 in section 7.4 Deployment for an eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB or scenario 1 in section 8.4
Deployment for a GBTS.
l If the RET function is provided by the RRU or RFU through an ANTENNAPORT, see
scenario 2 in section 7.4 Deployment for an eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB or scenario 2 in
section 8.4 Deployment for a GBTS.
Figure 3-18 Connections to the RRUs/RFUs and BBU (RRU/RFU for RET function)
Scenario 3: Using the Active Module on the AAS for the RET function
When the RET function for an AAS module with passive antennas is controlled by the active
module on the AAS module, the active module forwards the RET signals received from the BBU
to the passive module using an RETPORT, as shown in Figure 3-19. In this case, the active
module works as a conventional RET device and therefore configurations on this active module
are the same as those on a conventional RET device.
For the AAU3910, RETTYPE and SCENARIO must be set to SINGLE_RET and
DAISY_CHAIN, respectively. You can determine which set of antennas to use for the RET
function according to the antenna serial number. If you need to use only one set of antennas for
the RET function, set SCENARIO to DAISY_CHAIN. In this case, specify the
VENDORCODE and SERIALNO parameters because the antennas in the AAS module are
working in daisy chain mode. For the serial numbers of the integrated antennas in the AAS
module, see the hardware description of the AAS module. For other data configurations for this
connection mode for an eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB, see scenario 8 in section "7.4 Deployment."

SingleRAN
Figure 3-19 Connections to the RRUs/RFUs and BBU (AARU for RET function)
3.4.2 Operations on AAS Modules
AAS Modules with Passive Antennas

When the RET function for an AAS module with passive antennas is controlled by the AAMU,
related operations on the AAS module are performed in the following way:
l For the AAU3910, the operations are performed on each RET subunit independently
because the passive antennas in the AAS module function as a set of multiple antennas.
l For other AAS modules, the operations are performed on each antenna independently
because each RET subunit of the passive antennas in the AAS module functions as a single
antenna working in daisy chain mode.
When the RET function for an AAS module with passive antennas is controlled by the RRU or
RFU, related operations are performed on each antenna independently because each RET subunit
of the passive antennas in the AAS module functions as a single antenna working in daisy chain
mode.
When the RET function for an AAS module with passive antennas is controlled by the active
module on the AAS module, related operations are performed on each antenna independently
because each RET subunit of the passive antennas in the AAS module functions as a single
antenna working in daisy chain mode.
l Scanning
You can scan all the AAS modules connected to an RF module (except for the AAU3901).
When the RET function for a specific AAS module is controlled by an RF module, the RET
function for the module cannot be scanned on or controlled by other RF modules that are
also connected to the AAS module.
If multiple RF modules share the AAS module, running the SCN ALD command may fail
to scan all the RET function controlled by each RF module at a time. In this case, you can

SingleRAN
run the SCAN ADL command for each of the RF modules that control the RET function
for AAS modules that have not been scanned.
l Configuration file loading
Loading configuration files is not required because AAS modules with passive antennas
come with built-in configurations files. If ALM-26754 RET Antenna Data Loss is reported,
the configuration files have been lost. In such a case, you can run the DLD RETCFGDATA
command to reload configuration files for the AAS module. Note that this command applies
only to eGBTSs/NodeBs/eNodeBs.
l Antenna calibration
After an AAS module with passive antennas is installed, run the CLB RET command on
the eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB LMT to calibrate the antennas. During the calibration, RCUs
adjust the antennas within the downtilt range until the antennas operate properly. If the
calibration fails, ALM-26753 RET Antenna Not Calibrated is generated.
NOTE
After the AAS module is reset or powered off, it does not need to be calibrated again.
l Downtilt setting
After the AAS module is calibrated, run the DSP RETDEVICEDATA command on the
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB LMT to query the supported downtilt range. Then, run the MOD
RETSUBUNIT command to set the downtilts for RET subunits. Because setting RET
subunit downtilt affects the coverage of the related antennas, specify parameters based on
the engineering design.
NOTE
Each RET subunit supports a unique downtilt range.
In an AAS module with passive antennas, the base station can download software and reset the
RCU for each RCU separately.
l RCU software download

Run the DLD ALDSW command on the eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB LMT to download the
RCU software provided by Huawei. For details, see AAS-related documents provided by
Huawei.
l RCU reset
Run the RST ALD command on the eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB LMT to reset an RCU. RCU
reset does not change the antenna's downtilt.

6.4.2 Overall Process (RETs/TMAs/SASUs)

Determine the location of the ALD control port on the RRU or RFU. The ALD control port
provides power and OOK signals for the ALD. You can locate the port based on the site's cable
connections.
Device data in a co-MPT multimode base station needs to be configured only once. For a co-
MPT multimode base station, you only need to determine which RRU/RFU port is the control
port for the ALD device and configure the power switch, current threshold and ALD data once.
For a separate-MPT base station, the RRU or RFU can be managed by a single mode or multiple
modes. Determine the mode that manages the RRU or RFU and configure all data for the ALD
powered by this RRU or RFU in this mode. This procedure involves the following two scenarios:
NOTE
MPT is short for main processing and transmission unit.
Scenario 1: RRU/RFU Is Managed by a Single Mode

The RRU or RFU is working in a single-mode or multimode base station, and provides power
and OOK signals for the ALD.
Determine the mode that manages the RRU or RFU and configure all ALD data in this mode.
Scenario 2: RRU/RFU Is Managed by Multiple Modes

The RRU or RFU is working in a multimode base station, and provides power and OOK signals
for the ALD.
Parameters related to the ALD control port in this scenario are RF module common parameters.
During the data preparation, initial configuration, and feature reconfiguration, the common
parameters must be set to consistent values for all modes that manage the RRU or RFU. Table
6-2 lists the common ALD parameters for RF modules in each mode.

attenuati parameter to a value within the range
on from 4 dB to 11 dB.
If a 24 dB TMA is used, set this
parameter to a value within the range
from 11 dB to 22 dB.
For a separate-MPT base station, each of
these parameters must be set to the same
value in all modes.
NOTE
When an RF port except ANT_A is used as a control port, common ALD parameters are named in the
following ways:
l For a GBTS, common ALD parameters are named by analogy based on Table 6-2. For example, when
ANT_B is used as the control port, ANT_B ALD Power Switch is the correct parameter name
l For an eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, or co-MPT base station, common ALD parameters are named in the
same way as those listed in Table 6-2.
Other ALD-related parameters, except the RF module common parameters, must be set only in
one mode of the separate-MPT base station. Choose one from the modes that manage the RRU

or RFU providing power and OOK signals for the ALD. Then, configure all data for the ALD
only in this mode.
NOTE
l The mode in which the other ALD-related parameters are set must be the same in the data preparation,
initial configuration, activation observation, and reconfiguration.
l Only one maintenance link can be established between the RRU or RFU and the ALDs. Therefore,
ALD data can be configured only in one mode of a multimode base station. If ALD data is configured
in two modes in this multimode base station, unexpected faults will occur. For example, ALDs cannot
be scanned, or ALM-26541 ALD Maintenance Link Failure is reported. If such faults occur, remove
the ALD data configuration in both modes, and scan and configure the ALDs in the correct mode. If
ALDs cannot be scanned after the ALD data configuration is removed, turn off the power switches in
both modes, and set the power switches and current alarm thresholds in both modes again.
6.4.3 Overall Process (AAS Modules)

Device data in a co-MPT multimode base station needs to be configured only once. For a co-
MPT multimode base station using AAS modules with passive antennas, you only need to
configure ALD data only once.
For a separate-MPT base station using AAS modules, configure ALD data based on the site's
cable connections. The RET data must be configured only on one side.
When an AAS module with passive antennas does not have an AISG port, the RET function on
the AAS module is configured on and managed by the mode managing the AAS module.
Therefore, determine the managing mode first. If the AAS module is managed by multiple
modes, select one of them.
When the AAS module has an AISG port, the RET function on the AAS module with passive
antennas is configured on and managed by the mode that manages AAS module (Method 1).
Alternatively, the RET function is configured on the RRU or RFU that provides power and OOK
signals for the AAS module with passive antennas (Method 2). When the site's cable connections
support both methods, you can use only one method to configure the RET function because
faults may occur if you choose both methods.
l If method 1 is used, the configuration for the RET function is same as that for scenario in
which the AAS module does not have an AISG port.
l If method 2 is used, the configuration for the RET function is same as that for the RET
antennas. For details, see section 6.4.2 Overall Process (RETs/TMAs/SASUs).
6.4.4 Data Preparation

For a co-MPT base station, data preparation is the same as that for an eGBTS, NodeB, or eNodeB.
For details, see section 7.4.2 Data Preparation.
For a separate-MPT base station, the data preparation procedure is detailed in the following three
scenarios. Note that the RRU or RFU provides power and OOK signals for the ALD in scenarios
1 and 2.

In this scenario, the RRU or RFU provides power and OOK signals for the ALD.

This scenario does not involve RF module common parameters. Determine the mode that
manages the RRU or RFU according to 6.4.2 Overall Process (RETs/TMAs/SASUs) and then
prepare all ALD data in the mode. For details, see the following data preparation sections:
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: section 7.4.2 Data Preparation.

l GBTS: section 8.4.2 Data Preparation.

Prepare the RF module common parameters on the sides of all the modes that manage the RRU
or RFU. For details, see Table 6-2.
Select one of the modes that manage the RRN or RFU according to 6.4.2 Overall Process
(RETs/TMAs/SASUs) and then prepare other ALD parameters except the RF module common
parameters in this mode. For details, see the following data preparation sections:
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: section 7.4.2 Data Preparation.

l GBTS: section 8.4.2 Data Preparation.
Scenario 3: AAS Modules Are Used

Determine the mode in which the RET function is set for the AAS module according to section
6.4.3 Overall Process (AAS Modules). The data preparation for the mode is the same as that
for a single-mode base station.
If an AAS module with passive antennas is used, see scenario 1, 2, 7, or 8 in section 7.4.2 Data
Preparation.
6.4.5 Initial Configuration

For a co-MPT base station, initial configuration is the same that for an eGBTS, NodeB, or
eNodeB. For details, see section 7.4.4 Initial Configuration on the GUI or 7.4.5 Initial
Configuration on a Single Base Station Using MML Commands.
For a separate-MPT base station, initial configurations differ as follows:

The RRU or RFU is working in a single-mode or multimode base station, and provides power
and OOK signals for the ALD.
Determine the mode that manages the RRU or RFU and configure all data for the ALD powered
by this RRU or RFU in this mode. For details, see the following initial configuration sections:
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: sections 7.4.4 Initial Configuration on the GUI and 7.4.5 Initial
l GBTS: sections 8.4.4 Initial Configuration on the GUI and 8.4.5 Initial Configuration
on a Single Base Station Using MML Commands.


The RRU or RFU is working in a multimode base station, and provides power and OOK signals
for the ALD.
Before you set other ALD-related parameters, set the RF module common parameters listed in
Table 6-2 to consistent values for all modes that manage the RRU or RFU. If the RF module
common parameters are set to inconsistent values, ALM-26272 Inter-System RF Unit Parameter
Settings Conflict will be reported.
Run the following commands to set RF module common parameters:
l GBTS: SET BTSRXUBP

l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: MOD RETPORT/MOD ANTENNAPORT
NOTE
The RRU or RFU managed by multiple modes can supply power to ALDs only if the ALD power switches
are turned on for all modes that manage the multi-mode RRU or RFU. The ALD can be scanned only after
the power supply is normal.
The RETPORT and ANTENNAPORT switches on one RRU cannot be turned on simultaneously.
Then, select one of the modes that manage the RRU or RFU and set the other ALD-related
parameters in this mode. For example, if the RRU or RFU is managed by the GBTS and NodeB,
set the other ALD-related parameters on the GBTS or NodeB side. The configuration procedure
is the same as that for the related mode.
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: sections 7.4.4 Initial Configuration on the GUI and 7.4.5 Initial
l GBTS: sections 8.4.4 Initial Configuration on the GUI and 8.4.5 Initial Configuration
on a Single Base Station Using MML Commands.

Determine the mode in which the RET function is configured in the AAS module based on
section 6.4.3 Overall Process (AAS Modules) and then perform initial configuration in this
mode accordingly.
You can initially configure an AAS module in the following ways:
l To use a graphical user interface (GUI) to configure an AAS module, see section 7.4.4
Initial Configuration on the GUI.
l To use man-machine language (MML) commands to configure an AAS module with
passive antennas, see scenario 1, 2, 7, or 8 in section 7.4.5 Initial Configuration on a
Single Base Station Using MML Commands.
6.4.6 Commissioning
For a co-MPT base station, the commissioning procedure is the same as that for an eGBTS,
NodeB, or eNodeB. For details, see section 7.4.6 Commissioning.
For a separate-MPT base station, this procedure does not involve the RF module command
parameters. Determine the mode for configuring the ALD according to section 6.4.2 Overall
Process (RETs/TMAs/SASUs) and perform this procedure accordingly. For details, see the
following sections:

l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: section 7.4.6 Commissioning.

l GBTS: section 8.4.6 Commissioning.
6.4.7 Activation Observation

For a co-MPT base station, the active observation procedure is the same as that for an eGBTS,
NodeB, or eNodeB. For details, see section 7.4.7 Activation Observation.
following sections:
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: section 7.4.7 Activation Observation.
l GBTS: section 8.4.7 Activation Observation.
6.4.8 Deactivation
For a co-MPT base station, the deactivation procedure is the same as that for an eGBTS, NodeB,
or eNodeB. For details, see section 7.4.8 Deactivation.
following sections:
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: section 7.4.8 Deactivation.
l GBTS: section 8.4.8 Deactivation.
6.4.9 Reconfiguration
For a co-MPT base station, the reconfiguration procedure is the same as that for an eGBTS,
NodeB, or eNodeB. For details, see section 7.4.9 Reconfiguration.
For a separate-MPT base station, reconfigurations differ as follows:

connections.
This scenario does not involve RF module common parameters. Determine the mode that
manages the RRU or RFU based on section 6.4.2 Overall Process (RETs/TMAs/SASUs) and
reconfigure ALD data in this mode. For details, see the following reconfiguration sections:
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB/co-MPT base station: section 7.4.9 Reconfiguration.
l GBTS: section 8.4.9 Reconfiguration.


If the RF module common parameters listed in Table 6-2 need to be reconfigured, reconfigure
the parameters consistently for all modes that manage the RRU or RFU.
Run the following commands to set RF module common parameters:
l GBTS: SET BTSRXUBP

l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: MOD RETPORT/MOD ANTENNAPORT
If other ALD-related parameters except the RF module common parameters need to be

reconfigured, determine the mode and reconfigure ALD data on one of the modes managing the
RRU or RFU. For details, see the following reconfiguration sections:
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: section 7.4.9 Reconfiguration.

l GBTS: section 8.4.9 Reconfiguration.

In this scenario, a base station uses the AAS module.
Determine the mode that manages the RRU or RFU based on section 6.4.3 Overall Process
(AAS Modules) and reconfigure ALD data in this mode accordingly.

Introduction
This section includes only key parameters, not parameters in all scenarios.
Data sources of key parameters include the following:
l Radio network planning (internal planning): The parameter value comes from the radio
network plan, facilitating resource management on the current NE.
l Radio network planning (negotiated with the peer): The parameter value comes from the
radio network plan. The NE negotiates this value with the peer device to ensure successful
interworking.
l Transport network planning (internal planning): The parameter value comes from the
transport network plan, facilitating resource management on the current NE.
l Transport network planning (negotiated with the peer): The parameter value comes from
the transport network plan. The NE negotiates this value with the peer device to ensure
successful interworking.
l Equipment planning: The parameter value comes from the equipment plan.
l Engineering design: The parameter value comes from the algorithm or function design.
l Default/recommended value: The parameter uses the default or recommended value, and
the recommended value is preferential. The default or recommended value can be used in
most scenarios and adjusted for a specific scenario.
l N/A: The parameter value is not required.
ALD data configuration varies by scenario, depending on:
l The type of the RRU, RFU or AAS port through which control signals are sent to an RET
antenna
l Whether you use a TMA
l Whether the NodeB supports SASUs
The scenarios are as follows:
l Scenario 1: connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT

l Scenario 2: connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT
l Scenario 3: connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT (with a TMA)
l Scenario 4: connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT (with a TMA)
l Scenario 5: connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT (with an SASU)
l Scenario 6: connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT (with an SASU
and a TMA)

l Scenario 7: connection to the AAS module with passive antennas (AAMU)

l Scenario 8: Connection to the AAS module with passive antennas (Active module)
Generic Data
Before configuring ALD data, collect the following generic data:
l Configuration file for the RET antenna: Used to determine whether to update the
configuration file. Obtain the configuration file from the RET antenna manufacturer based
on the RCU and antenna models.
l Software of the RET antenna, TMA, and SASU: Used to determine whether to update the
software. If an update is required, obtain the software from the RET antenna, TMA, and
SASU manufacturers.
l RET antenna connections: Used to determine whether RET antennas are connected in a
regular scenario. If the RET antennas are not connected in a regular scenario, record serial
numbers of RET antennas and the mapping between the RET antennas and the base station/
sectors. The serial numbers are printed on labels of the RET antennas.
l Connections between the RET antenna, TMA, SASU, and RRU/RFU: Used to determine
the specific connections between these devices (such as the type of RRU or RFU port
through which control signals are sent to an RET antenna) and the connections between
each antenna subunit and the RRU or RFU (if multiple antennas are used)
l Current alarm thresholds for the RET antenna, TMA, and SASU, which are provided in
the related specifications.
Connections between the AAS module and RRU/RFU (only when an AAS module with passive
antennas is used): Used to determine whether the RET function for the AAS module is set through
the configured AAMU or the RRU/RFU connecting to the AAS module and to which integrated
passive antenna the RRU or RFU is connected
NOTE
It is recommended that you obtain the basic information about the RET antenna, TMA, and SASU at the
site, including the antenna model, RCU model, antenna type (single-antenna or multi-antenna), number of
subunits, manufacturer code, and serial number. In a regular scenario, you can run the following command
to obtain the antenna type, number of subunits, manufacturer code, and serial number:

Scenario 1: Connection to the RET Antenna Through the RETPORT

The following descriptions also apply to the scenario in which the RET function on an AAS
module is controlled by the RRU or RFU through its RETPORT. In this scenario, the AAS
module functions as the convention RET antennas. Therefore, the configuration can be
performed in the same way as that for conventional RET antennas.

7.4.3 Precautions
This section describes precautions of configuring ALD data, running a command for scanning
ALDs, setting the current alarm threshold type for ALD data.
l Pay attention to the following restrictions when configuring ALD data:

– The RETPORT and ANTENNAPORT switches on one RRU cannot be turned on
simultaneously.
– ALD scanning, calibration, downtilt setting, software download, and configuration file
download cannot be performed simultaneously on ALDs.
– The common TMA does not support the AISG protocol. To configure a common TMA
for an eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB, run the MOD ANTENNAPORT command on the
NodeB or eNodeB LMT to turn on the power switch and set current alarm thresholds.
(For data preparation details, see Table 7-7.) Then, run the MOD RXBRANCH
command to configure the RX channel attenuation based on the engineering design.
(For data preparation details, see Table 7-10.)
– The AISG1.1-based twin TMAs consist of two internal TMAs and perform the same
functions as the two subunits of an AISG2.0-based TMA. The AISG1.1-based twin
TMAs can be configured as two devices, each configured with one subunit. In this case,
batch loading of the TMA software may fail on one of the devices. The AISG1.1-based
twin TMAs can also be configured as one device, which is configured with two subunits.
In this case, the serial number cannot be configured for the TMA. Otherwise, only one
subunit is operational. When an RRU with four ports is connected to multiple TMAs,
the twin TMAs must be configured as two devices and each configured with one subunit
if the AISG1.1-based twin TMAs are used.
– ALDs are automatically scanned when an RET antenna or TMA is added.
– ALDs are automatically scanned after an RRU or RFU is reset.
l Pay attention to the following restrictions when scanning ALDs:
– ALDs are scanned based on control link connections. The scanned result shows the
ALDs physically connected to the base station, which is not affected by ALD data
configuration.
– ALDs cannot be scanned if ALD control links are faulty.

– After subunits are added to an AISG1.1-based TMA, all TMA subunits start to work
only after you run the SCN ALD command.
l Use the values shown in Table 7-17 and Table 7-18 to set the current alarm threshold type
for the control port.

Set the THRESHOLDTYPE parameter to UER_SELF_DEFINE in any of the following

scenarios:
– RET antennas are connected in a non-regular scenario.
– A smart TMA is used as a common TMA.
– The configured ALD model is not recommended by Huawei.
– An SASU is used.
When the THRESHOLDTYPE parameter is set to UER_SELF_DEFINE, set current
alarm thresholds based on the actual ALD type. Pay attention to the following restrictions:
– User-defined current alarm thresholds must meet the requirements: UOTHD <
UCTHD < OCTHD < OOTHD.
– Generally, the UOTHD parameter is set to 20% to 30% of the device rated operating
current, and the UCTHD parameter is set to about 20 mA greater than the UOTHD
parameter. The OOTHD parameter is set to 150% to 200% of the device rated operating
current, and the OCTHD parameter is set to about 50 mA less than the OOTHD
parameter.
– If RET antennas are connected in a non-regular scenario, the UOTHD parameter is set
to 20% to 30% of the total rated current of all ALDs controlled by the RRU. The
OOTHD parameter is set to 150% to 200% of the total rated current of all ALDs
controlled by the RRU.
– If the configured ALD model is not recommended by Huawei, the UOTHD parameter
is set to 20% to 30% of the total rated current of all ALDs controlled by the RRU. The
OOTHD parameter is set to 150% to 200% of the total rated current of all ALDs
controlled by the RRU.
When a base station uses an AAS module with passive antennas and the RCU integrated
in the AAS module is controlled by the RRU or RFU connecting to the AAS module, set
the THRESHOLDTYPE parameter as follows:
– If the control port is an RETPORT on the RRU or RFU, set this parameter to a value
corresponding to RET_ONLY_MULTICORE.
– If the control port is an ANTENNAPORT on the RRU or RFU, set this parameter to a
value corresponding to RET_ONLY_COAXIAL.

This section includes only key parameters, not parameters in all scenarios.
Data sources of key parameters include the following:

l Radio network planning (internal planning): The parameter value comes from the radio
network plan, facilitating resource management on the current NE.
l Radio network planning (negotiated with the peer): The parameter value comes from the
radio network plan. The NE negotiates this value with the peer device to ensure successful
interworking.
l Transport network planning (internal planning): The parameter value comes from the
transport network plan, facilitating resource management on the current NE.
l Transport network planning (negotiated with the peer): The parameter value comes from
the transport network plan. The NE negotiates this value with the peer device to ensure
successful interworking.
l Equipment planning: The parameter value comes from the equipment plan.
l Engineering design: The parameter value comes from the algorithm or function design.
l Default/recommended value: The parameter uses the default or recommended value, and
the recommended value is preferential. The default or recommended value can be used in
most scenarios and adjusted for a specific scenario.
l N/A: The parameter value is not required.
ALD data configuration varies according to scenarios. Different scenarios vary when control
signals are sent to an RET antenna through different RRU or RFU ports and when a TMA is
used.
The scenarios are as follows:
l Scenario 1: connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT

l Scenario 2: connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT
l Scenario 3: connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT (with a TMA)
l Scenario 4: connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT (with a TMA)
l Scenario 5: connection to the RET antenna through the GATM

8.4.3 Precautions
Section 7.4.3 Precautions describes the common precautions for GBTS and eGBTS/NodeB/
eNodeB.
The common TMA does not support the AISG protocol. To configure a common TMA, you
only need to run the SET BTSRXUBP command to turn on the power switch, set current alarm
thresholds, and configure the RX channel attenuation based on the network plan. For data
preparation details for turning on the power switch and setting the current alarm thresholds, see
Table 8-6. For data preparation details for configuring the RX channel attenuation, see Table
8-9.
After subunits are added to an AISG1.1-based TMA, all TMA subunits start to work only after
you run the STR BTSALDSCAN command.
Use the values provided in Table 7-17 and Table 7-18 to set the current alarm threshold type
for the control port. When the current alarm threshold type is user-defined, set current alarm
thresholds based on the actual ALD type. Pay attention to the following restrictions:

l User-defined current alarm thresholds must meet the requirements: Under Current Occur
Threshold < Under Current Clear Threshold < Over Current Clear Threshold < Over
Current Occur Threshold.
l Generally, the Under Current Occur Threshold is set to 20% to 30% of the device rated
operating current, and the Under Current Clear Threshold is set to about 20 mA greater
than the Under Current Occur Threshold. The Over Current Occur Threshold is set to 150%
to 200% of the device rated operating current, and the Over Current Clear Threshold is set
to about 50 mA less than the Over Current Occur Threshold.
l If RET antennas are connected in a non-regular scenario, the Under Current Occur
Threshold is set to 20% to 30% of the total rated current of all ALDs controlled by the
RRU. The Over Current Occur Threshold is set to a value that is 150% to 200% of the total
rated current of all ALDs controlled by the RRU.
l If the configured ALD model is not recommended by Huawei, the Under Current Occur
Threshold is set to 20% to 30% of the total rated current of all ALDs controlled by the
RRU. The Over Current Occur Threshold is set to 150% to 200% of the total rated current
of all ALDs controlled by the RRU.
l There are three user-define types for GBTSs: UER_SELF_DEFINE1,
UER_SELF_DEFINE2, and UER_SELF_DEFINE3. Generally, the value is
UER_SELF_DEFINE1.
