Huawei Indoor MBB solution

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. www.huawei.com

 Introduction

 The LampSite solution is designed by Huawei to expand system capacity, eliminate

coverage holes, and provide comprehensive indoor coverage for multiple networking
modes.

 The DBS3900 base station is comprised of a baseband unit (BBU), pico remote radio units
(pRRUs), and RRU HUBs (RHUBs).

 These modules can be flexibly configured to suit network requirements.

Functions of DBS3900 LampSite modules

Module Function
BBU Processes baseband signals of the base
station.
DCU Provides the physical ports between a BBU
and an RHUB. The DCU is configured with
pRRU3902 information such as RF power for
the GSM mode.
RHUB Aggregates CPRI data from pRRUs to the
BBU to enable communication between
pRRUs and the BBU.
pRRU Functions as a remote radio unit to process RF
signals.
(Optional) Extender An Extender can be used to extend the
distance between an RHUB and a pRRU to
200 m at most.

 Hardware Description

• RHUB
(1) PSU (2) AC power input socket (3) Ground screw
Functions
 Works as network elements in the Lamp Site in-building solution and are used with the
BBUs and pRRU3901s to support indoor coverage.
 Supports the communication between pRRU3901 and BBU. The RHUB combines the
baseband data from the BBU and sends them to the pRRU3901 in the downlink, and
combines the baseband data from the pRRU3901 and sends them to the BBU in the uplink.
 Supports PoE technology because the RHUB is configured with built-in PoE circuit
NOTE:
 Each RHUB module has eight CPRI_E ports (CPRI_E0 to CPRI_E7). Therefore, a maximum of eight pRRU3901s can be connected to an RHUB.
 RHUB supports a maximum of four cascading levels.

pRRU3901

The pRRU3901 works as a remote radio unit to process radio frequency signals.
The pRRU3901 supports the following functions:

 The transmit channel receives the baseband signals from the BBU, and performs digital to-analog conversion. The baseband signals are up-c
onverted using the zero IF technology to the transmit frequency band and then sent to the antenna for transmission after being filtered a
nd amplified.
 The receive channel receives the radio frequency signals from the antenna. Then, the radio frequency signals are down-converted to baseba
nd signals and sent to the BBU for processing after being filtered and amplified.The CPRI data can be transmitted using the Ethernet cabl
e.he built-in or external antennas are supported. Power over Ethernet (PoE) is supported.
 The pRRU3901 with three transmission ports can be configured with the Wi-Fi daughter board to provide Wi-Fi services.

Functions
The MDPC performs the following functions:
 Provides CPRI ports to communicate with RHUBs.
 Provides a port for maintenance on the O&M system, manages the others boards and the
MDPC, and supports the switched configuration of MDPCs and the configuration of MRFC boards.
 Provides an FE port for communication with the LMT on which the MDPC can be managed,monitored, and configured.
 ETH: Local maintenance network port
 FE: Remote channel maintenance network port
 RST: Hardware reset button, restoring configuration data to the initial configuration

The MRFC performs the following functions:

 Supports multiple base station RF ports and combines input RF signals.
 Performs digital-analog signal conversion, imposes channels gains and performs power control in the digital and anal
og fields.
 Selects frequency bands for digital signals and implements variable-bandwidth frequency band selection.
 Supports different multi radio frequency cards for different frequency bands.
