various installation scenarios. This effectively addresses the requirements for integrated
development of a multi-mode mobile network, the broadband solution, and green network
rollout, and enables the construction of a future-oriented network and smooth evolution to the
Long Term Evolution (LTE).
Solution of Integrated Multiple Technologies

l With the unified platform, modular design, and flexible combination of the basic modules
and auxiliary devices, the NodeB can present in multiple forms.
l With this solution, BBUs and RF modules of different modes (GSM/UMTS/LTE) can be
placed in one cabinet, and cabinets of different modes can be installed in stacking mode.
l The UMTS RF module supports smooth evolution to the LTE from the perspective of
hardware and supports the UMTS/LTE dual-mode NodeB through software upgrade in the
same frequency band.
Broadband Solution
l The outstanding performance of the RRU3804 and WRFU ensures wide coverage, high
throughput, and reduced number of sites.
– The RRU3804 and WRFU adopt a multi-carrier technology which features 20 MHz
bandwidth and 4-carrier configuration.
– A single RRU3804 supports the 60 W output power at the antenna connector and a
single WRFU supports 80 W at the antenna connector.
l The NodeB supports the High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) service in full rate mode.
– The HSPA service enjoys high bandwidth and short delay.
– The data rate of the HSPA service can peak 14.4 Mbit/s in the downlink.
– The data rate of the HSPA service can peak 5.76 Mbit/s over the Uu interface at the
physical layer in the uplink.
l The IP-based switch core of the NodeB allows operators to obtain higher bandwidth and
have easier ways in capacity expansion and network adjustment by utilizing the existing
IP transmission resources, thereby curtailing the cost for network deployment.

NodeB
2 Benefits of the NodeB Product Description
– The NodeB can provide the Fast Ethernet (FE) port at the 100 Mbit/s externally, and
the IP Radio Access Network (RAN) can reuse the existing IP transmission resources
on the Iub interface.
– Apart from being more cost-effective than the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)-
based network, the IP-based network provides the multi-access mode and sufficient
transmission bandwidth to satisfy the data service with high data rate.
Construction of a Green Network

The compact and modular design, innovative PA, and power consumption management are the
keys to a green communication network that features energy conservation and requires less
equipment rooms.
l The RF modules of the NodeB adopt the advanced Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) and A-
Doherty technologies to raise the power amplification rate to 40%. Thus, the power
consumption of the entire NodeB is lowered.
l The reduced power consumption of the cabinet macro NodeB not only avoids extra
electricity expense but also lessens the investment in power supply, backup batteries, air
conditioners, and heat exchangers.
– As the most compact macro NodeB in the industry, the cabinet macro NodeB takes up
a small footprint.
– The RF cabinet of the BTS3900A is of direct-ventilation design. In comparison with
the traditional macro NodeB, power consumption of the BTS3900A is lowered by 40%.
l The DBS3900 is characterized by separate baseband and RF modules and distributed
installation, which facilitates transportation, configuration, and installation.
– The BBU3900 of the distributed NodeB is characterized by a small footprint, easy
installation, and low power consumption. In addition, the BBU3900 can be placed in
the spare space of an existing site.
– The RRU, small and light, supports installation near the antenna, thus preventing feeder
loss. Working in natural heat dissipation mode, the RRU has no fans. The high reliability
of the RRU reduces the routine maintenance cost.
l The NodeBs of all types can share the baseband modules, RF modules, and power systems,
thereby saving the cost for spare parts and maintenance.
The earlier-mentioned features of the NodeB can fully address the concern over site acquisition
for operators, expedite network rollout, decrease occupation of resources such as manpower,
power supply, and space, and lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Smooth Evolution to the Future-Oriented Radio Network

The unified modular design of the NodeB helps the evolution to the future-oriented radio
network, transformation of global operators, and deployment of new radio technologies.
l The NodeB enables different-mode modules plugged in the same cabinet to support
different modes or different-mode modules inserted into the same cabinet to support multi-
mode application.
l The UMTS RF modules support HSPA+ in terms of hardware, which enables other modules
of the existing NodeB to be shared to the maximum limit and facilitates smooth evolution
to the LTE.

unit. The module receives the service data from the transport subsystem and sends the
service data to the FP processor for FP processing. The signals are finally sent to the
interface module after encoding, transport channel mapping, physical channel generating,
framing, spreading, modulation, and power control combination.
In the baseband subsystem, the BBU3900 has an integrated CPRI interface module that connects
the BBU3900 to the RRU.

4.5 Multi-Mode NodeB

The 3900 series NodeBs feature a unified platform and a modular design, which enables modules
in GSM, UMTS, or LTE mode to be inserted in one cabinet to support different modes, the
baseband processing units and RF modules to share the same hardware platform, and modules
in different modes to be inserted in one cabinet to support multi-mode application, thus
implementing smooth evolution from GSM to UMTS, and then to LTE.
Baseband processing units of different modes can be installed in one cabinet.
Through configuration of different-mode baseband modules in one cabinet, the NodeB can
support the GSM single mode, UMTS single mode, or GSM/UMTS dual mode. In addition, with
the baseband modules in LTE mode configured in future, the NodeB can support the GSM/
UMTS/LTE multi-mode application.
RF modules of different modes can be installed in one cabinet.
Through configuration of different-mode RF modules in one cabinet, the NodeB can support
the GSM single mode, UMTS single mode, or GSM/UMTS dual mode.
The RF modules in UMTS mode are LTE-ready in hardware. The UMTS/ LTE dual-mode
RF modules can be supported through NodeB software upgrade in the same frequency
band.
Figure 4-10 and Figure 4-11 show the indoor and outdoor applications of the multi-mode NodeB
respectively.

NodeB
Product Description 5 Features of the NodeB
5 Features of the NodeB
Featuring the cutting-edge modular design of multiple forms and modes, the NodeB enjoys
various advanced features and functions.
Advanced Platform-Based Architecture

l The NodeB that uses the Huawei IP switch-based platform supports the GSM/UMTS dual-
mode application, HSPA+, and smooth evolution to the LTE.
l The distributed NodeB, cabinet macro NodeB, and compact mini NodeB share the baseband
and RF modules. The three types of basic modules (BBU, RF, and WRFU) can form
different NodeB products that apply to different scenarios. This reduces cost in equipment
and maintenance.
l The NodeB supports the dual-star GE IP switch technology, thus enabling more powerful
capability in internal data exchange and satisfying the requirements of increasing HSPA+
and LTE data volume in the future.
l The BBU3900 provides eight slots, in which the boards or modules are swappable, and
supports smooth capacity expansion and evolution.
l The RF module integrates the duplexer and the Transceiver Unit (TRU), thus enhancing
integrity of RF parts and meeting future requirements for a compact, high-efficiency, and
low-cost NodeB.
l A minimized NodeB cabinet is easy to transport and install, and the stacking installation
mode of NodeB cabinets lowers the requirement for footprint.
High Integrity and Large Capacity

l The BBU3900 contains highly integrated chips and features large capacity. A single
BBU3900 supports 24 cells, with 1,536 UL CEs and 1,536 DL CEs. It also supports HSDPA
and HSUPA services.
l A single RRU or WRFU supports the 4-carrier configuration. When the capacity of the
NodeB is expanded from 1 x 1 to 1 x 4 or from 3 x 1 to 3 x 4, no extra RRU or WRFU is
required.
High Performance
l The NodeB features high receiver sensitivity. The 2-way receiver sensitivity is higher than
-129.3 dBm without the Tower Amplification (TMA).

NodeB
5 Features of the NodeB Product Description
l The WRFU supports 80 W output power and the RRU3804 supports 60 W output power.
The power amplification efficiency is boosted to 27.6%.
l The NodeB supports the open-loop TX diversity and closed-loop TX diversity to enhance
downlink coverage and capacity.
ATM/IP Dual-Stack Protocol

ATM
l The NodeB supports the User-Network Interface (UNI) mode when transmission resources
are inadequate and traffic is low.
l The NodeB supports the Inverse Multiplexing on ATM (IMA) mode when there are rich
transmission resources. This mode features high reliability, high-speed transmission, and
low transmission delay.
l The NodeB supports the fractional ATM mode.
IP
The IP transport, based on IPs, supports the transmission of various data services on low-rate
links. In this mode, the IP transmission resources are fully utilized and operators' investment is
dramatically reduced.
l Native IP transport is supported without requirements for additional hardware. Compared
with the PWE3 technology, native IP transport enjoys higher transmission efficiency and
lower investment because the PWE3 external device is not required.
l IP over E1 is supported to fully utilize the E1 resources of the existing network and to
provide a complete solution of IP transport.
l The fractional Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) technology is supported.
l The ATM and IP dual stack is supported to protect operators' early investment in ATM
transport.
l The compression and multiplexing technologies, such as the multiplexing of PPP header
compression, PPPMUX, and IP Header Compression (IPHC), are supported to help achieve
high transmission bandwidth efficiency over E1 ports. With the solution of IPHC + PPP
compression + PPPMUX, the E1 transmission rate of the 12.2 kbit/s voice service rises by
up to 37%.
l The FP MUX is supported to reduce the number of Medium Access Control (MAC) headers
by multiplexing packets and to raise the transmission efficiency over FE ports. With this
technology, the FE transmission rate of the 12.2 kbit/s voice service rises by up to 40%.
l Hybrid transport is supported, which enables different transmission paths to be allocated
for services with different QoS requirements. For example, hybrid transport enables real-
time services to travel on electrical ports, such as E1/T1 ports, and non-real-time services
to travel on Ethernet ports.
Flexible Clock Synchronization Modes

The NodeB supports the following clock synchronization modes to fulfill different clock
networking requirements:
l Synchronization with the upper-level clock extracted from the Iub interface
l Synchronization with the clock obtained from the GPS
l Synchronization with an external clock such as a 2 MHz clock

NodeB
l Without additional hardware, the IP clock is supported through software upgrade, thus
providing IP transport with cost-effective clock solutions.
l Synchronization with the internal clock. The internal stratum-3 clock ensures that the
NodeB keeps working properly for at least 90 days in the case of loss of the external clock.
HSDPA
l The HSDPA and R99/R4 services are supported in the same carrier.
l The downlink data rate of a single cell can peak at 14.4 Mbit/s.
l A single cell supports 15 High Speed Physical Downlink Shared Channel (HS-PDSCH)
codes and dynamic code resource allocation.
l The NodeB supports 12 categories of UE at various rates.
l A single cell can support 64 HSDPA UEs.
l The NodeB supports dynamic power allocation.
l The QPSK and 16QAM modulation modes which raise spectrum usage are supported.
HSUPA
l The HSUPA and R99/R4 services are supported in the same carrier.
l The E-DCH TTI of 10 ms and 2 ms are supported.
l The uplink data rate of a single cell can peak at 5.76 Mbit/s.
l A single cell can support 60 HSUPA UEs.
l The NodeB supports Received Total Wideband Power (RTWP) fast measurement in a
period of 2 ms to effectively enhance the reliability of UL loads.
MBMS
l The NodeB supports the setup, reconfiguration, and deletion of the MBMS notification
Indicator Channel (MICH), and handling of the related signaling configuration.
l Each cell supports 16 Secondary Common Control Physical Channels (SCCPCHs).
l Each SCCPCH supports 4 Forward Access Channels (FACHs).
l Each cell supports 63 MBMS channels.
Access of High-Velocity UEs

The NodeB allows UEs to move in a cell at the velocity of up to 400 km/h. The UEs can enjoy
services in the high-speed vehicles such as express trains or maglev trains.
Enhanced Antenna Technology

l The RET antenna is supported to optimize network coverage, reduce interference, and
expand system capacity.
l The remote batch OM, batch software upgrade, and batch adjustment of RET antenna
downtilts are supported.
l The automatic scanning of the RET antenna is supported.
l The Antenna Interface Standard Group (AISG) 1.1 and 2.0 standard interfaces are
supported.

NodeB
5 Features of the NodeB Product Description
l The cascading of RET antennas and controlling the tilt of the 2G RET antenna through the
3G site are supported.
Same Band Antenna Sharing

l To implement the same band antenna sharing with low insertion loss, the Same-band
Antenna Sharing Unit (SASU) and Same-band Antenna Sharing Adapter (SASA) are
introduced to reduce cost in network deployment.
l The SASU applies to two scenarios: the antenna shared by 2G and 3G systems and the
antenna shared by two 3G systems. The SASU that enables two different systems at the
same band to share one antenna system is an important part of the same band antenna
sharing solution. The SASU can greatly reduce the cost and time of the 3G network
construction.
l The SASU supports 900 MHz and 2,100 MHz frequency bands.
l The SASA is another important part of the same band antenna sharing solution. Although
it brings an insertion loss of 0.8 dB in the downlink, it can integrate transmit carriers from
two antennas into one antenna, without affecting GSM network performance.
Operation and Maintenance

The NodeB provides two OM platforms: Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) and centralized
management center (M2000).
l The NodeB supports local maintenance, remote maintenance, and reverse maintenance.
l The NodeB supports the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) and the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP). When data is not configured or the NodeB is faulty, the NodeB
automatically sets up an OM channel to enhance system reliability and to perform remote
troubleshooting.
l The NodeB supports configuration baseline which simplifies the configuration rollback
process and enhances reliability of configuration rollback.
l The NodeB provides the intelligent out-of-service function. Before the NodeB is out of
service, the UE is handed over to another 2G or 3G cell when the NodeB gradually reduces
the cell pilot power. Such a handover prevents service disruption.
l The NodeB provides the RRU topology scanning function, which enables automatic
monitoring of the RRU topology in real time to help reduce manual intervention.
l The NodeB provides the complete system self-detection function, thus local commissioning
is not required.
Environment Adaptability
To adapt to all kinds of environment, the NodeB provides a comprehensive solution covering
power distribution, surge protection, transmission cabling, installation of transmission devices,
and power backup.
Outdoor environment
l The RRU complies with the International Protection standard IP65 in terms of
waterproofing and dustproofing. The design meets class 1 standard in terms of protection
against damp, mould, and salt mist. The rack can protect the RRU from exposure to solar
radiation and adverse environments. The RRU works normally in the temperature ranging

NodeB
Product Description 10 Reliability of the NodeB
10 Reliability of the NodeB
The NodeB features a new system architecture and a complete redundancy design. In addition,
the NodeB takes advantage of Huawei large-capacity ASIC chips to enhance the integrity of
modules and reduce the number of parts, thus significantly improving the system reliability.
System Reliability
The NodeB has the reliability design such as the load-sharing and redundancy configuration,
and adopts the optimized fault detection/isolation technology of boards and systems, thus greatly
improving the reliability of the system.
Redundancy design
l The main control board, transmission board, power supply unit, and fan unit in the NodeB
all support redundancy. The BBU supports load sharing.
l The CPRI port that connects the BBU and the RF modules supports the ring topology.
When one CPRI link becomes faulty, the NodeB can automatically switch to another CPRI
link.
l The key data such as software versions and data configuration files in the NodeB supports
redundancy.
Reliability design
The NodeB can automatically self-detect and diagnose hardware failures and environment
problems, and then report alarms. It also attempts to conduct self-healing to clear faults. If the
self-healing fails, the fault is automatically isolated.
Hardware Reliability
Anti-Misinsertion function of boards
When a board is wrongly inserted into the slot of another board, the mistaken board cannot be
connected to the backplane, and in this way, the equipment is free from damage.
Overtemperature protection
When the ambient temperature of the PA on the RF module is too high, the NodeB generates
overtemperature alarms and immediately shuts down the PA to prevent it from damage.
Power supply reliability

NodeB
10 Reliability of the NodeB Product Description
l The NodeB has wide-range voltage and surge protection functions.

l The NodeB provides power failure protection for programs and data.
l The boards protect power supply against overvoltage, overcurrent, and reverse connection
of positive and negative poles.
l The hierarchical shutdown is supported. The outdoor NodeB performs shutdown for the
PA based on the backup power capacity.
Surge protection design
The NodeB takes surge protection measures on AC/DC power sockets, input/output signal ports
(E1 port, interconnection port, and Boolean alarm port), antenna connectors, and GPS ports.
Software Reliability
The software reliability is embodied in the redundancy of key files and data and the powerful
error tolerance of software.
Software redundancy
The NodeB provides redundancy for key files and data, such as software versions and data
configuration files, to prevent them from damage and to ensure the normal running of the NodeB.
l Redundancy of software versions: The NodeB provides separate redundancy for software
versions including the BootROM software version to avoid version problems. If one version
becomes faulty, the NodeB can switch to the backup version.
l Redundancy of data configuration files: The NodeB provides separate redundancy for data
configuration files to avoid interrupting the running of the files. If the current file becomes
faulty, the NodeB can keep working properly with the backup file.
Error tolerance capability
When the software is faulty, it does not affect the entire NodeB because the system is capable
of self-healing. The software error tolerance of the NodeB covers the following aspects:
l Scheduled detection of key resources: The NodeB performs occupancy check on software
resources. If resource hang-up occurs due to software faults, the NodeB can release the
unavailable resources in time and export logs and alarms.
l Task monitoring: During the running of software, the NodeB monitors the internal errors
of all software and some hardware faults, if any. The NodeB also has a monitoring process
to monitor running status and report alarms when the system is faulty, and try to restore
the task by self-healing.
l Data consistency check: The NodeB performs scheduled or event-triggered data
consistency check and can restore the data consistency preferably or preferentially. Also,
it generates related logs and alarms.
l Dongle: The NodeB can detect the irregular running status of the software and then
automatically reset the system through the dongles at both software and hardware levels.
