Product Description 1 Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
1.2 Benefits
1.1 Overview
Upholding the concept of continuous innovation based on customer requirements, Huawei
launches the future-oriented 5900 series base stations.
Like 3900 series base stations, 5900 series base stations adopt the modular design to support
multiple radio access technologies (RATs) and forms, and support flexible combinations of
function modules and installation auxiliary devices. The modular design and flexible
combinations diversify the product forms to flexibly meet site deployment requirements.
The following figure shows the types of 5900 series base station products.

1.2 Benefits
Baseband: Multi-RAT, Large Capacity, and 5G-oriented
 The baseband unit (BBU) of 5900 series base stations can house multi-RAT main control
boards and baseband processing units (BBPs) to support GSM, UMTS, LTE FDD, LTE
TDD, NB-IoT, and New Radio (NR).
 5900 series base stations use larger-capacity BBPs that allow a single site to provide a
higher transmission capability and serve more cells.
 The baseband backplane switching capability and engineering capability of 5900 series
base stations have been greatly improved to meet the requirements for long-term site
evolution.
 5900 series base stations support the eGBTS, but not the GBTS.
 5900 series base stations support NR from V100R013C10 onwards.
RF Modules: High Integration, Low Power Consumption, and Quick Installation

 With the help of cutting-edge heat dissipation technologies and a shell design, 5000
series RF modules have achieved a 20% increase in their cooling capabilities. Remote
radio units (RRUs) and active antenna units (AAUs) have a smaller size, allowing

operators to hold more RRUs or AAUs in a small space, and thereby cut network
investment for operators.
 5000 series RF modules adopt new materials and support power amplifier (PA) envelope
tracking technology. This technology increases PA efficiency and reduces power
consumption.
 5000 series RF modules adopt 4.3-10 DIN connectors, which means the jumpers can be
quickly plugged in with no need for screwing or wrapping waterproof tapes. Therefore,
the labor cost of installing RF modules is significantly reduced. The 4.3-10 DIN
connectors also improve network reliability.

2.2 Function Modules

Function modules of 5900 series base stations include BBU and RF module which can be a
radio frequency unit (RFU), remote radio unit (RRU), or active antenna unit (AAU). The
BBU uses common public radio interface (CPRI) ports to communicate with RF modules
through electrical cables or fiber optic cables.

2.2.1 BBU
The BBU is a baseband unit and centrally manages the entire base station. The BBU provides
the following functions:
 Manages the entire base station system in terms of OM, signaling processing, and system
clock.
 Provides physical ports for information exchange between the base station and the
transport network.
 Provides an OM channel between the base station and the operation and maintenance
center (OMC).
 Processes uplink and downlink baseband signals, and provides CPRI ports for
communication with RF modules.
 Provides ports for receiving and transmitting signals from environment monitoring
devices.
The BBU used for 5900 series base stations is BBU5900 or BBU5900A.
 With a case structure, the BBU5900 can house different types of boards and modules.
Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 show the exteriors of BBU5900s.
 With a blade shape, the BBU5900A multiplexes the boards for the indoor BBU5900 and
can house different types of boards and modules. Figure 2-3Figure 2-3 shows the
exterior of the BBU5900A.

2.5 BTS5900A
2.5.1 Cabinets
A BTS5900A base station is installed in a BTS3900A (Ver.E) series cabinet.
BTS3900A (Ver.E) series cabinets include:
 Power cabinet APM30H (Ver.E)
 Radio frequency cabinet RFC (Ver.E)
 Transmission cabinet TMC11H (Ver.E)
 Direct-ventilation battery cabinet IBBS200D (Ver.E), air-conditioned battery cabinet
IBBS200T (Ver.E), and direct-ventilation outdoor battery cabinet BBC5200D-L.
The functions of the power cabinet, radio frequency cabinet, transmission cabinet, and battery
cabinet are as follows:
 Power cabinet: The power cabinet houses the BBU.
 RFC: Provides space for installing RFUs. Each RFC can house a maximum of 6 RFUs.
An RFC can be stacked with a power cabinet or a transmission cabinet.
 Transmission cabinet: If more equipment space is required, the transmission cabinet can
be configured. It supports –48 V DC power input.
 Battery cabinet: If long-time power backup is required, the battery cabinet can be
configured. Battery cabinets with air conditioners are more suitable for high-temperature
areas than battery cabinets using natural ventilation.
An APM30H (Ver.E) is used only when a base station uses AC power supply. When a base station uses
DC power supply, a TMC11H (Ver.E) is used as the power cabinet.
BTS3900A (Ver.E) Series Cabinets

In AC power input scenarios, a BTS3900A (Ver.E) cabinet is formed by stacking an APM30H
(Ver.E) with an RFC (Ver.E), as shown in the following figure.

Figure 2-15 Internal structure of a BTS3900A (Ver.E) AC cabinet
In DC power input scenarios, a BTS3900A (Ver.E) cabinet is formed by stacking a TMC11H

(Ver.E) with an RFC (Ver.E). A TMC11H has the same structure as an APM30H, but they
have different power module configurations.
BTS3900A (Ver.E) series cabinets can be used together with the RFCs and battery cabinets of
BTS3900A (Ver.B), BTS3900A (Ver.C), or BTS3900A (Ver.D) series. However, BTS3900A
(Ver.E) series cabinets cannot be used together with the power cabinets and transmission
cabinets of BTS3900A (Ver.B), BTS3900A (Ver.C), or BTS3900A (Ver.D) series.
For example, when the power cabinet is an APM30H (Ver.E) or TMC11H (Ver.E):
 The RFC can be an RFC (Ver.B), RFC (Ver.C), RFC (Ver.D), or RFC (Ver.E).
 The battery cabinet can be an IBBS200D/IBBS200T (Ver.B), IBBS200D/IBBS200T
(Ver.C), IBBS200D/IBBS200T (Ver.D), IBBS200D/IBBS200T (Ver.E), or
BBC5200D-L.

2.6 DBS5900
In places where site acquisition is difficult, the DBS5900 can be used to facilitate network
planning and optimization and reduce network deployment time. It enables operators to
efficiently deploy a high-performance multimode network with a low total cost of ownership
(TCO) by minimizing investment in electricity, space, and manpower.
2.6.1 Cabinets
A DBS5900 base station consists of function modules (BBU, RRU, and AAU) and various
cabinets or racks. It supports multiple installation scenarios through flexible combinations of
function modules and cabinets or racks.

2.6.1.1 Typical Installation Scenarios

The typical installation scenarios of cabinets used for DBS5900 base stations vary with how
the BBU is installed, as described in the following table.
Table 2-8 BBU installation scenarios

In each application scenario, the following principles apply:

 In outdoor installation scenarios, the BBU5900A can be installed outdoors directly while
the BBU5900 needs to be installed in an outdoor cabinet.
 When RRUs need to be installed in a centralized manner on the ground outdoors, the
OPS06, an outdoor pole support, or the RFC5906, a centralized installation cabinet for

From the external function structure perspective, a base station consists of BTS Node, GBTS
Service, NodeB Service, eNodeB Service, and gNodeB Service.
The following figure shows the external function structure of a base station. A BTS Node
shields software and hardware differences from Services by using abstracted resources and a
unified interface. In this way, Services can be flexibly deployed on various types of resources
and share these resources.

5.1 Single-RAT and Multi-RAT Base Stations
5.1 Single-RAT and Multi-RAT Base Stations

Base stations are classified into single-RAT and multi-RAT ones based on the number of
deployed Services.
5.1.1 Single-RAT Base Station

In a single-RAT base station, only one Service is deployed.
Single-RAT base stations include GBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, and gNodeB. 3.2 Base Station at
the RAN Logical Layer shows the corresponding Services.
LTE modes include LTE FDD, LTE TDD, and LTE NB-IoT. That is, an eNodeB can be an FDD eNodeB,
a TDD eNodeB, or an NB-IoT eNodeB.
5.1.2 Multi-RAT Base Station

Depending on whether Services of multiple RATs are deployed on one or multiple BTS Nodes,
multi-RAT base stations are classified into co-MPT and separate-MPT base stations.
Co-MPT Multimode Base Station

In a co-MPT multimode base station, Services of all RATs are deployed on one BTS Node for
unified management at the OMC. The following figure shows the structure of a co-MPT base
station.

Figure 5-1 Co-MPT base station
 In a co-MPT base station, the BTS Node manages the software and hardware platforms.
Resources can be shared or used independently for each Service to achieve flexible
resource scheduling and allocation. This facilitates the evolution of multimode base
stations.
 In the co-MPT scenario, a base station can be a GSM-, UMTS-, or LTE-only base station
or a co-MPT base station.
A gNodeB can share the main control board only with the eNodeB. This is supported from
V100R015C00 onwards.
Separate-MPT Multimode Base Station

In a separate-MPT multimode base station, the Service of each RAT is deployed on an
independent BTS Node and is managed by the OMC through an independent O&M channel.
The following figure shows the structure of a separate-MPT base station.

6.1 Overview
6.2 Operation and Maintenance of Single-RAT and Multi-RAT Base Stations
6.1 Overview
This section describes the O&M of 5900 series base stations from the perspectives of OM
methods, base station type, and NE type.
OM Methods
5900 series base stations can be maintained using the following methods:
 Local maintenance: O&M personnel maintain the base stations on the base station local
maintenance terminal (LMT) through the local maintenance port of the base station.
 Remote maintenance: O&M personnel maintain the base station on the U2000, U2020,
or LMT in the equipment room or the centralized maintenance center. U2000 and U2020
are referred to as the element management system (EMS) in the following sections.
From SRAN15.0 onwards, the name of Huawei mobile EMS is changed from U2000 to U2020. The
following figures use the U2020 or EMS an example.
Base Station Type

On the EMS, a base station is a management entity providing Services of one or multiple
RATs. Base stations are independent of each other and have different deployment IDs (DIDs).
In this document, the RAT Service provided by a 5900 series base station includes GBTS
Service, NodeB Service, eNodeB Service, and gNodeB Service. For related function
descriptions, see 4.2 External Function Structure.
Based on the number of RAT Services deployed, base stations on the EMS are classified into
the following two types:
 A base station deployed with one RAT is called a single-RAT or single-mode base
station.
 A base station deployed with two or more RATs is called a multi-RAT or multimode base
station. On the EMS GUI, Multimode Base Station refers to all types of multi-RAT or
multimode base stations, for example, separate-MPT multimode base stations and

co-MPT multimode base stations. A co-MPT base station deployed with only one RAT is
also a multimode base station.
NE Type
Each BTS Node in a multi-RAT base station has an independent O&M channel. The BTS
Node together with the RAT Service deployed on it is called an NE, which can be
independently managed by the LMT or EMS.
Single-RAT base stations can be classified into the following NE types: BTS5900 WCDMA,
BTS5900 LTE, and BTS5900 5G.
For multi-RAT base stations, the NE type for co-MPT base stations is BTS5900 and that for
separate-MPT base stations is MBTS.
The following figure shows the NE management architecture.
Figure 6-1 NE management architecture
The eGBTS has the same OM system as a co-MPT multimode base station. The NE type of the eGBTS
is BTS5900.
6.2 Operation and Maintenance of Single-RAT and

Multi-RAT Base Stations
6.2.1 Single-RAT Base Station Operation and Maintenance
A single-RAT base station serves only one RAT and has one OM interface.
On the EMS, the NE types of the NodeB, eNodeB, and gNodeB are BTS5900 WCDMA,
BTS5900 LTE, and BTS5900 5G, respectively.
The following figure shows the OM systems of the NodeB, eNodeB, and gNodeB.

Figure 6-2 OM systems of the NodeB, eNodeB, and gNodeB
6.2.2 Co-MPT Multimode Base Station Operation and

Maintenance
Multiple RATs in a co-MPT base station are deployed on the same main control board. These
RATs share one OM interface, represent one NE, and are connected to one EMS.
The NE type of the co-MPT base station on the EMS is BTS5900.
The following figure shows the OM system of a co-MPT base station.
Figure 6-3 OM system of a co-MPT base station

A gNodeB can share the main control board only with the eNodeB. This is supported from
V100R015C00 onwards.
6.2.3 Separate-MPT Multimode Base Station Operation and

Maintenance
Multiple RATs in a separate-MPT base station are deployed on multiple main control boards.
These RATs have different OM interfaces, represent different NEs, and are connected to one
EMS through different OM channels.
The separate-MPT base station is indicated by MBTS on the EMS. The following figure
shows the OM system of a separate-MPT base station.
Figure 6-4 OM system of a separate-MPT base station
For the NEs in a separate-MPT base station:

 They are independently managed on the base station LMT.
 They belong to the same base station and have the same DID on the EMS. The EMS
provides a unified O&M interface to manage separate-MPT base stations.
