Foreword

The BTS3900 developed by Huawei is an indoor macro BTS. The BTS3900 mainly consists of the BBU and DRFUs. Compared with

traditional BTSs, the BTS3900 features simpler structure and


higher integration.

In this slide, well mainly introduce the hardware system structure,

application scenarios, basic functions of modules, networking


mode and typical configuration of the BTS3900

Some Functions and Features

It adopts the unified BTS platform developed by Huawei Wireless and enables the smooth evolution from 2G to 3G. It supports the Abis IP/FE interface in hardware and enables Abis over IP through software upgrade if required. It shares the BBU, which is the central processing unit, with the DBS3900 to minimize the number of spare parts and reduce the cost. It can be flexibly installed in a small footprint and easily maintained with low cost. It supports transmit diversity and PBT. It supports 2-antenna and 4-antenna receive diversity to improve the uplink coverage. It supports the GPRS and EGPRS.

DPMU and PSU

The wiring unit is connected to the external power supply through the terminals for L and N wires, and leads the power to the PSU through the backplane.

The PSU converts the input power into the -48 V DC power.
The DPMU monitors the operating status of the PSU. The wiring unit provides -48 V DC power outputs through LOAD1(-), LOAD2(-), and RTN(+).

Dynamic PBT

Dynamic PBT is a mode based on the operation of timeslots, compared with static PBT, it brings the balance between capacity and coverage and does not cause the 50% decrease of capacity. The subscriber occupies a TS under the detection of measure report. When the quality is lower than a threshold, the same No. of TS of the adjacent TRX will be used as the secondary TS by the subscriber to start PBT. (The former subscriber in the secondary TS will handover) When the quality is higher than a threshold, the PBT will be canceled and the secondary TS will be released.

BTS3900 Topologies - Star

The star topology applies to common areas, especially densely populated areas, such as cities.

Advantages

In the star topology, each site is directly connected to the BSC. It has the following features: Easy networking

Easy project implementation


Easy network maintenance Easy network expansion High network reliability

Disadvantages

Compared with other topologies, the star topology requires more transmission cables.

Copyright 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Page85

BTS3900 Topologies - Chain

The chain topology applies to sparsely populated areas in strip-like terrain, such as areas along highways and railway tracks.

Advantages

The chain topology reduces cost in transmission equipment, construction, and transmission link lease.

Disadvantages

As signals pass through many nodes, the transmission reliability in the chain topology is reduced.

The faults in the upper-level BTSs may affect the lower-level BTSs. The number of levels in a chain network should not exceed five.

Page86

BTS3900 Topologies - Tree

The tree topology applies to areas where network structures, site distribution, and subscriber distribution are complicated, for example, an area where large-scale coverage overlaps hot spot or small-scale coverage. Advantages

The tree topology requires fewer transmission cables compared with the star topology.

Disadvantages

As signals pass through many nodes, the transmission reliability is reduced. This makes it difficult for maintenance and engineering. The faults in the upper-level BTSs may affect the lower-level BTSs. Capacity expansion is difficult. The number of levels in the tree should not exceed five.

BTS3900 Topologies - Ring

The ring topology applies to common scenarios. Due to its strong selfhealing capability, the ring topology is preferred if permitted by the routing. Advantages

If there is a breaking point in the ring, the ring breaks into two chains at the breaking point automatically. In this way, the BTSs preceding and following the breaking point can work normally despite the breaking point; thus improving the robustness of the system.

Disadvantages

In the ring topology, there is always a link section that does not transfer data.

Basic Configuration Principles

A single BTS3900/BTS3900A cabinet provides up to 12 carriers with the maximum cell configuration of S4/4/4, and supports the dual-band application. Minimum cost Smooth upgrade of configuration Antenna configuration principles

Minimum number of DRFUs


Minimum number of BBUs Highest reliability Mode of configuring two TRXs in one sector

Copyright 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Page91

RF Configuration Principles

A maximum of three levels of DRFUs can be connected to one BBU. For S4/4/4 cell configuration and lower configurations, the star topology is recommended between the BBU and the DRFU; for the configuration higher than the S4/4/4 cell configuration, the ring topology is recommended between the BBU and the DRFU. Minimum number of antennas. Each sector of the BTS must be configured with the minimum number of antennas. For the 2-antenna receive diversity, each sector has two antenna channels; for the 4-antenna receive diversity, each sector has four antenna channels. Non-combination in the transmit channel. The non-combination configuration is recommended for the DRFU to avoid the power loss in combination and to reduce the power consumption of the BTS. If combination is required, the cavity combiner must be configured outside the DRFU and one combination is recommended.

Page92

Configuration Principles of the BBU

Minimum number of trunk cables. You can determine the number of trunk cables as required, and take the existing configuration for saving transmission resources into account in networking. Minimum number of UPEUs. The configuration of a single UPEU is recommended. The redundancy backup mode can be configured if required.

One BBU supports six CPRI ports. The star topology is recommended between DRFUs.
