6 Reliability

6.1 System Reliability

The BTS3012AE is designed after an overall analysis on system reliability. The
BTS3012AE enhances its system reliability through the following methods:
z Active/standby mode
z Load sharing
z Redundant configuration
z Optimized fault detection of boards and system
z Optimized fault isolation

Redundancy Design
The BTS3012AE has a redundancy design. The key clock bus, control bus, data bus,
and the DTMU modules use 1+1 backup mode. The BTS3012AE also supports the
transceiver (TRX) mutual aid.

System Monitoring
The BTS3012AE can automatically detect and diagnose faults in the hardware or
software and report them through alarms. It can also detect environmental status and
report abnormalities in time.

6.2 Hardware Reliability

The BTS3012AE enhances hardware reliability through the following methods:
z Prevention Against Mistakenly Inserted Boards
z Redundancy Design of FAN Box
z Protection Against Excessive Rise in Temperature of the DTRU
z Reliability Design for Power Supply

Issue 02 (2008-02-27) Commercial in Confidence Page 32 of 48

 BTS3012AE V300R008
Product Description

Prevention Against Mistakenly Inserted Boards

When a functional board is inserted into a wrong slot, it does not come in full contact
with the backplane. This prevents the equipment from being damaged.

Redundancy Design of FAN Box

The fan uses N+1 redundancy backup mode. If a fan is faulty, the other fans run at full
speed. Under normal temperature, this design can meet the heat dissipation
requirement.

Protection Against Excessive Rise in Temperature of the DTRU

When the temperature around the last level power amplifier is too high, the power
amplifier reports the excessive rise in temperature through an alarm, and then enters
into the automatic protection state.

Reliability Design for Power Supply

The power supply system of the BTS3012AE has the following features in terms of
reliability design:
z The power supply system of the cabinet with AC power supply has the power
environment monitoring system, which performs the following functions:
− Monitoring the power distribution of the AC/DC
− Managing the charging and discharging of the storage batteries
− Monitoring the cabinet environment
− Monitoring the storage battery cabinet environment
− Monitoring the extension cabinet environment
− Monitoring the input and output of extended alarms
z When the external power supply fails, the internal storage batteries of the
BTS3012AE can supply power for several hours. An alarm about the failure of the
external power supply is sent to the OMC to prompt for proper handling.
z The BTS3012AE uses a distributed power supply. The DC/DC power modules
operate in N+1 redundancy mode. When a module fails, an alarm is sent to the
OMC. You can easily replace the faulty module because the DC/DC is hot
swappable.
z The power supply has a lightning protection function and a function for protection
against voltage variation.
z The BTS3012AE provides power failure protection for programs and data.
z The boards of the BTS3012AE provide protection against excessive voltage and
current.
z The boards of the BTS3012AE provide protection against reverse-polarity
connection.

6.3 Software Reliability

The software reliability of the BTS3012AE is reflected in its powerful error tolerance
capability. The entire system is not corrupted when the software fails. That is, the

Issue 02 (2008-02-27) Commercial in Confidence Page 33 of 48

 BTS3012AE V300R008
Product Description

system has self-healing capability. Error tolerance of the BTS3012AE is shown in the
following aspects.

Regular Check on Key Resources

Seizure check is conducted on various software resources in the system. The check
mechanism can ensure the release of suspended resources and the output of the
related logs and alarms.

Task Monitoring
When the software is active, the task monitoring function can monitor any possible
fault in the software or hardware. In addition, detected faults can be reported. Task
status and system abnormalities can also be monitored.

Data Check
The system can perform regular or event-driven checks on data consistency, restore
the data consistency selectively or preferably, and output related logs and alarms.

Saving Operation Log Information

The system records user operations within a certain period and saves the recorded
information to the system operation logs. Operation logs can be used to locate errors
or exceptions because of incorrect operations so that the system can be restored to
the normal state.

B Glossary

A
A device which radiates and/or receives radio signals. When working as a
transmitter, it converts high frequency current to electromagnetic waves;
Antenna
when working as a receiver, it coverts electromagnetic waves to high
frequency current.

B
Baseband Baseband is a form of modulation in which the information is applied directly
onto the physical transmission medium.
BSS In GSM the Base Station System is a term given to a BSC (Base Station
Controller) and the BTS (Base Transceiver Station) associated with it. The
number of BTS associated with a BSC is dependent on the manufacturer.
Although not mandatory, through interpretation of the Abis interface standard
BTS and BSC employed within a BSS will always be supplied by the same
manufacturer.
The BSS is the physical equipment used to give radio coverage to a
determined geographical zone called a cell. Functionally, a BSS is
subdivided into BSC and BTS.
Base Transceiver A Base Transceiver Station terminates the radio interface. It allows
Station transmission of traffic and signaling across the air interface. The BTS
includes the baseband processing, radio equipment, and the antenna.

C
Radio network object that can be uniquely identified by a User Equipment
Cell from a (cell) identification that is broadcasted over a geographical area from
one UTRAN Access Point. A Cell is either FDD or TDD mode.
A sine wave, whose bandwidth is much higher than the bandwidth of a signal
Carrier
and, which can be identified by amplitude, frequency, and phase.

H
The transfer of a user’s connection from one radio channel to another (can
Handover
be the same or different cell).

Product Description

R
The most common type of diversity, where a mobile device uses two
physically separate antennas to combine signals from the two antennas to
Receive diversity
reduce the impact of spatial variations in signal strength and thus increase
the average data rate available - sometimes dramatically.

T
A Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA) is a lower noise amplifier installed close to the
TMA
antenna.
TRX A transmitter and receiver housed together in a single unit and having some
circuits in common, often for portable or mobile use.
