Common Clock 2 Overview
2 Overview
With the Common Clock feature, all the modes of an MBTS share one clock source and only one set of
clock equipment is required.
The Common Clock feature applies to GU, GL, or UL dual-mode and GUL triple-mode base stations.
The Common Clock feature helps reduce operating expense (OPEX) and capital expenditure (CAPEX)
for MBTSs.
GU stands for GSM and UMTS; GL stands for GSM and LTE; UL stands for UMTS and LTE; GUL stands
for GSM, UMTS, and LTE.
In a dual-mode base station, two modes exchange data using the BBU backplane and share one clock
source. In a triple-mode base station, two BBUs are required and the UCIU and UMPT board must be
used to employ the BBU Interconnection feature. This is because main control boards cannot be directly
interconnected across BBUs. With BBU Interconnection, three modes of the triple-mode base station
can share one clock source.
This feature corresponds to the following feature IDs on the BTS, NodeB, and eNodeB sides:
 MRFD-211601 Multi-Mode BS Common Reference Clock (GBTS)
 MRFD-221601 Multi-Mode BS Common Reference Clock (NodeB)
 MRFD-231601 Multi-mode BS Common Reference Clock (eNodeB)

3 Common GPS/BITS Reference Clock

As shown in Figure 3-1, Figure 3-2, and Figure 3-3, the USCU board in a dual-mode base station
receives GPS or BITS clock signals from its antenna or BITS port and forwards them to the two main
control boards in the base station. GPS stands for Global Positioning System and BITS stands for
building integrated timing supply.

SingleRAN
Figure 3-3 A common GPS/BITS reference clock in a UL dual-mode base station
As shown in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5, only one mode of a GUL triple-mode base station is configured
with one GPS or BITS clock source. Further, the mode forwards the received GPS or BITS clock signals
to the other two modes. Therefore, only one set of external clock equipment or one GPS antenna system
is required, reducing costs on installing and deploying clock devices.
As shown in Figure 3-4, BBU Interconnection is applied to a GUL triple-mode base station. The USCU
board receives GPS or BITS clock signals from its antenna or BITS port and forwards them to the GTMU
and LMPT boards. Upon receiving the clock signals, the GTMU board forwards them to the UCIU board.
This UCIU board then sends the clock signals to the UMPT board, which receives them through its BBU
interconnection port.
As shown in Figure 3-5, BBU Interconnection is also applied to a GUL triple-mode base station. The
USCU board receives GPS or BITS clock signals from its antenna or BITS port and forwards them to the
UMPT board, which in turn sends them to the UCIU board through its BBU interconnect port. This UCIU
board then sends the clock signals to the GTMU and LMPT boards using the BBU backplane.

5 Common IEEE1588 V2 Reference Clock

As shown in Figure 5-1, Figure 5-2, and Figure 5-3, one main control board serving a mode in an MBTS
is connected to the transport network using an FE or GE port. The board is configured with an IEEE1588
V2 clock client through which the board obtains clock signals from an IEEE1588 V2 clock server. The
oscillator in the board synchronizes clock signals with the IEEE1588 V2 clock server and transmits the
synchronized 1 pulse per second (PPS) clock signals to the other main control board serving another
mode using the BBU backplane.
In the preceding scenario, only one IEEE1588 V2 clock client is required, reducing the CAPEX. FE
stands for fast Ethernet and GE stands for gigabit Ethernet.

Common Clock 7 Engineering Guidelines
7 Engineering Guidelines
7.1 GU Common Clock
7.1.1 When to Use GU Common Clock
It is recommended that the GU Common Clock sub-feature be activated in a GU dual-mode base station
to reduce the OPEX and CAPEX.
7.1.2 Information to Be Collected

Collect the following information:
 Whether a GU dual-mode base station is configured with a GPS antenna system or can obtain clock
signals from a BITS clock source
If the base station is configured with a GPS antenna system or can obtain clock signals from a BITS
clock source, it is recommended that two modes of the base station share a GPS or BITS reference
clock.
 Transmission scheme used by the base station
If one mode of the base station uses the E1/T1 transmission scheme while the other mode uses the
FE/GE transmission scheme, it is recommended that the two modes share an E1/T1 reference clock.
If the FE/GE transmission scheme can work with the synchronous Ethernet technology, the two modes
can alternatively share a synchronous Ethernet reference clock.
If the two modes use the FE/GE transmission scheme, check whether the transport network can work
with the synchronous Ethernet technology. If yes, sharing a synchronous Ethernet reference clock is
recommended. If no, sharing an IEEE1588 V2 reference clock is recommended

7.4 GUL Common Clock

7.4.1 When to Use GUL Common Clock
It is recommended that the GUL Common Clock sub-feature be activated in a GUL triple-mode base
station to reduce the OPEX and CAPEX.

 Whether a GUL triple-mode base station is configured with a GPS antenna system or can obtain clock
clock source, it is recommended that three modes of the base station share a GPS or BITS reference
clock.
If one mode of the base station uses the E1/T1 transmission scheme while the other modes use the
FE/GE transmission scheme, it is recommended that the three modes share an E1/T1 reference clock.
If the FE/GE transmission scheme can work with the synchronous Ethernet technology, the three
modes can alternatively share a synchronous Ethernet reference clock.
If the three modes use the FE/GE transmission scheme, check whether the transport network can
work with the synchronous Ethernet technology. If yes, sharing a synchronous Ethernet reference
clock is recommended. If no, sharing an IEEE1588 V2 reference clock is recommended
7.4.3 Requirements
A license is required before activating the following features
 MRFD-211601 Multi-Mode BS Common Reference Clock (GBTS)
 MRFD-231601 Multi-mode BS Common Reference Clock (eNodeB)
 MRFD-221601 Multi-Mode BS Common Reference Clock (NodeB)
