The HBBI provides ports for connection between the RF subrack and the baseband subrack. The
HBBI processes uplink and downlink baseband signals.

BTS3812E
4.4.2 Operating Environment of the HBBI Board

The HBBI receives downlink data from the NDTI (or NUTI) or the HDLP (or EDLP) and then
sends it to the MTRU after processing. In addition, the HBBI receives uplink data from the
MTRU and then sends it to the NDTI (or NUTI) or the HULP (or EULP, EULPd) after
processing.
4.4.3 Operating Principles of the HBBI Board
The HBBI consists of the control module, interface module, uplink baseband resource processing
module, and downlink baseband resource processing module.
4.4.4 LEDs and Ports on the HBBI Board
There are three LEDs and two ports on the HBBI board. The LEDs indicate the running status
of the HBBI. The ports are used to connect to the six MTRUs.
4.4.1 Functions of the HBBI Board

The HBBI provides ports for connection between the RF subrack and the baseband subrack. The
HBBI processes uplink and downlink baseband signals.
The HBBI performs the following functions:
l It provides ports for connection between the RF subrack and the baseband subrack.
l It processes uplink and downlink baseband signals. One HBBI can process the signals of
a maximum of 128 CEs in the uplink and 256 CEs in the downlink.
l The HULP or EULP or EULPd and the uplink resources of the HBBI form an uplink
resource pool. The HDLP or EDLP and the downlink resources of the HBBI form a
downlink resource pool. One HBBI can process the signals of three cells in both the uplink
and downlink.
l It supports HSDPA at the maximum rate of 43.2 Mbit/s per board.
The HBBIs are positioned in slots 0 and 1 of the baseband subrack. One HBBI can be connected
to a maximum of six MTRUs.
When two HBBIs are configured,
l In a single cabinet, the two HBBIs work in backup mode.
l In combined cabinets, the two HBBIs work independently.
The minimum configuration of the HBBI is as follows:

l If MTRUs are configured in the cabinet, a minimum of one HBBI is required.
l If RRUs rather than MTRUs are configured in the cabinet, the HBBI is not required.
NOTE
The HBBI, an enhancement of the NBBI, supports HSDPA and HSUPA Ph1. The HBBI and the NBBI
can be positioned in one baseband subrack.
4.4.2 Operating Environment of the HBBI Board

The HBBI receives downlink data from the NDTI (or NUTI) or the HDLP (or EDLP) and then
sends it to the MTRU after processing. In addition, the HBBI receives uplink data from the
processing.
According to the specific configuration of the baseband processing part, the HBBI works in one
of the following two operating environments: only the HBBI configured in the baseband

BTS3812E

the dynamic range of the receiver. Therefore, the receiver can reach its highest performance
regardless of the interference.
HPA
The HPA amplifies weak RF signals from the RF transmitter. The maximum output power is
38 W or 50 W. It also provides forward coupling for the VSWR test, the DPD feedback and the
stabilization of the downlink-gain loop.
Feedback Channel
The feedback channel converts down the forward TX signals that are coupled by the HPA, and
sends to the DPD processing system through the ADC. The DPD compares feedback signals
with input signals in the digital domain to determine the pre-distortion parameter.
CPU
The CPU carries out the control and maintenance inside the MTRU board.

4.21.2 Operating Environment of the NUTI Board

The NUTI receives downlink traffic data from the RNC and then sends it to the HDLP or EDLP
and the HBBI or EBBI. The NUTI receives uplink traffic data from the HULP or EULP or
EULPd and the HBBI or EBBI and then sends it to the RNC.
Figure 4-51 shows the operating environment of the NUTI.
Figure 4-51 Operating Environment of the NUTI
The operating environment of the NUTI is as follows:

l The NUTI receives downlink traffic data from the RNC and then sends it to the HDLP or
EDLP and the HBBI or EBBI.
l The NUTI receives uplink traffic data from the HULP or EULP or EULPd and the HBBI
or EBBI and then sends it to the RNC.
l The NUTI receives control plane data from the RNC and then sends it to the NMPT.
l When the NodeB uses the line clock, the NUTI extracts clock signals from the Iub interface
and then sends them to the NMPT as a reference clock of the entire NodeB.
4.21.3 Operating Principles of the NUTI Board

The NUTI board consists of the control module, the ATM bus interface module, the IMA module,
the clock module, the FE module, and the sub-board interface module.

5.3.2 E1/T1 Cable of the BTS3812E

The E1/T1 cable of the BTS3812E has the following types 75-ohm E1 cable, 120-ohm E1 cable,
and 100-ohm T1 cable. The E1/T1 cable is used to transfer E1/T1 signals. It provides an electrical
connection on the Iub interface.
Structure
The 75-ohm E1 cable is a coaxial cable. The cable consists of eight micro coaxial wires and
every two micro coaxial wires constitute one E1. Therefore, each 75-ohm E1 cable provides
four E1s. One end of the 75-ohm E1 cable is a DB25 male connector, and the other end is bare,
as shown in Figure 5-10.

(2) 75-ohm E1 coaxial wire (X1–X8)
(3) Coaxial cable core (tip)
(4) Coaxial cable external conductor (ring, that is, the shielding layer)
The 120-ohm E1 twisted pair cable consists of four pairs of 120-ohm wires. Each pair of wires
constitutes one E1. Therefore, each 120-ohm E1 cable provides four E1s. One end of the 120-
ohm E1 cable is a DB25 male connector, and the other end is bare, as shown in Figure 5-11.

(2) 120-ohm E1 twisted pair wire (X1–X8)
(3) Label
The number of E1 cables depends on the number of NUTIs/NDTIs configured in the NodeB.
Each NDTI can connect two E1 cables. Each NUTI without the E1 sub-board can connect two
E1 cables and each NUTI with the E1 sub-board can connect four E1 cables.

5.5 RF Cables of the BTS3812E

RF cables of the BTS3812E consist of the RF jumpers and RF cables between the MTRU and
the MAFU.
5.5.1 RF Cables Between the MTRU and the MAFU of a Macro NodeB
The RF cables between the MTRU and the MAFU have two types: the RF RX signal cable and
the RF TX signal cable. The RF RX signal cable connects the RX port on the MAFU to the RX
port on the MTRU and transmits uplink signals. The RF TX signal cable connects the TX port
on the MAFU to the TX port on the MTRU and transmits downlink signals.
5.5.2 RF Jumper of the BTS3812E
RF jumpers are used to connect the antenna system and the antenna port on the NodeB cabinet.
RF jumpers are used for signal interchanges between the NodeB and the antenna system.
5.5.1 RF Cables Between the MTRU and the MAFU of a Macro

NodeB
The RF cables between the MTRU and the MAFU have two types: the RF RX signal cable and
the RF TX signal cable. The RF RX signal cable connects the RX port on the MAFU to the RX
port on the MTRU and transmits uplink signals. The RF TX signal cable connects the TX port
on the MAFU to the TX port on the MTRU and transmits downlink signals.
Appearance
Figure 5-27 shows the RF cable between the MTRU and the MAFU.

The RF RX signal cable and the RF TX signal cable of the MAFU are connected to the MTRU
to which the COM port on the MAFU is connected.

BTS3812E
l One end of the RF RX signal cable connects the RX port on the MTRU and the other end
connects to the RX port on the corresponding MAFU.
l The RF TX signal cable connects the TX port on the MTRU to the TX port on the
corresponding MAFU.
NOTE
The connection of the RF RX signal cable depends on the configuration of the NodeB. If the configuration
is changed, the type of the connection must be changed accordingly.
The Connection of RF Cables Between the MTRU and the MAFU

l The connection of RF cables between the MTRU and the MAFU depends on the NodeB
configuration. In each configuration, the number of MTRUs is the same as that of MAFUs.
Huawei recommends that you connect an MAFU to the MTRU below that MAFU.
l The configuration of the connection of RF cables between the MTRU and the MAFU in 2-
way RX and 3–4 carriers
In 2-way RX and 3–4 carrier configuration, two MTRUs and two MAFUs serve one sector.
Each sector can be configured with three to four adjacent carriers. In this situation,
connectors labeled ANT_TX/RXA at the top of MAFUs are connected to the antenna while
connectors labeled ANT_RXB are not in use. TX diversity is not supported in this
configuration.
NOTE
The NodeB in 2-way RX and 3–4 carrier configuration is also applicable to the 2-way RX and 1–2
carrier configuration . In this case, comparing with the 2-way RX and 1–2 carrier configuration, the
2-way RX and 3–4 carrier configuration used for 1–2 carrier configuration has higher transmission
power and supports TX diversity.
Figure 5-28 shows the wiring between RF ports for each sector. The sector operates in 2-
way RX and 3–4 carrier configuration.

MAFU in 2-way RX and 3–4 carriers

BTS3812E
In 2-way RX and 1–2 carrier configuration, one MTRU and one MAFU serve one sector.
Each sector can be configured with two adjacent carriers. In this situation, connectors
labeled ANT_TX/RXA and ANT_RXB at the top of the MAFU are connected to the
antenna. TX diversity is not supported in this configuration.
Figure 5-29 shows the wiring between RF ports for one sector. The sector operates in 2-

MAFU in 2-way RX and 1–2 carriers
In 4-way RX and 1–2 carrier configuration, two MTRUs and two MAFUs serve one sector.
Each sector can be configured with two adjacent carriers. In this situation, connectors
labeled ANT_TX/RXA and ANT_RXB at the top of the MAFU are connected to the
antenna. TX diversity is supported in this configuration.
Figure 5-30 shows the wiring between RF ports for one sector. The sector operates in 4-

and 1–2 carrier configuration
NOTE
In the previous three configurations, matched loads must be installed on the ports or connectors that are
not in use on the MAFUs to prevent power leakage.
5.5.2 RF Jumper of the BTS3812E

RF jumpers are used to connect the antenna system and the antenna port on the NodeB cabinet.
RF jumpers are used for signal interchanges between the NodeB and the antenna system.
Structure
Each end of an RF jumper is a DIN male connector, as shown in Figure 5-31.

(1) DIN male connector
l One end of the RF jumper is connected to the antenna port at the top of the MAFU.
l The other end of the RF jumper is connected to the feeder of the antenna system.

BTS3812E
NOTE
The antenna ports at the top of the MAFU are labeled ANT_TX/RXA and ANT_RXB. The ANT_TX/
RXA port can both receive and transmit signals and the ANT_RXB port can only receive signals. The
connection is determined by the NodeB configuration.
