arated. RSU is located in local cabinet. BBU uses the full-IP
hardware platform. IP switching is provided in BS8900.
� Evolution capability
BS8900, with uTCA platform and SDR technology, can
smoothly evolve to Enhanced EDGE. Hardware can evolve to
LTE and share the hardware platform with LTE in future.
� Capacity and configuration
The system supports three RSU types: RSU82, RSU60, and
RSU40 U216. The system supports up to 60 GSM TRXs and 30
UMTS CSs.
Where, RSU82 is a RSU with 2-Tx and 4-Rx.
� Networking capability
BS8900 provides E1/T1 at Abis/Iub and optical/electric GE in-
terface. It supports star networking and chain networking.
BS8900 can meet the requirements of GSM/UMTS hybrid net-
working in different scenarios.
� Clock and synchronization
BS8900 supports multiple clock synchronization modes:
� GPS-based clock synchronization at radio interface.
� External BITS clock synchronization input.
� Upper clock synchronized with E1/T1 at Abis/Iub.
� GSM RF technology
With flexible RF unit configuration and advanced SDR tech-
nologies, BS8900 provides multiple RF technology solutions to
meet capacity and coverage requirements.
� Downlink transmitting diversity
The downlink transmitting diversity means that one carrier
signal is transmitted through two antennas in a sector to
form the space transmit diversity. It enhances the anti-fad-
ing capability of downlink signal and increases the coverage
area.
� Interference Rejection Combining (IRC)
The IRC technology increases the receiver's uplink sensi-
tivity and expands the BTS's uplink coverage area. When
IRC is used, it is recommended that the BTS is equipped
with at least two receiving antennas.
� Four Way Diversity Receiving (FWDR)
FWDR uses four antennas to receive uplink signals. BS8900
can provide four diversity receptions for one carrier to get
the best gain. It enhances BTS's uplink receiving perfor-
mance as well as reduces MS's transmitting power. Ul-
tra-long distance coverage can be implemented by using

Signal Flow
System Service Signal Flow
Figure 14 shows the service data flow.

FIGURE 14 SERVICE DATA FLOW
� Downlink: The service data from BSC/RNC enters BBU via CC

or SA. IP protocol termination and NAT conversion at Abis/Iub
are done on CC board. The data is then converted into internal
IP datagram and transmitted to baseband board (uBPG/BPC)
through Gigabit Ethernet (GE). The baseband board performs
modulation, multiplexing, and rate adaptation for the internal
IP datagram and transmits it to the IQ switching unit of FS.
Then, on the IQ switching unit of FS, de-multiplexing, inter-
leaving, frame forming, and parallel- serial conversion are im-
plemented. Finally, the internal IP datagram is distributed to
RU via BBU-RU interface (optical port).
Note:
If Abis/Iub uses the E1/TI interface, you shall transfer and pro-
tect the signal via SA board. If Abis/Iub uses GE interface, di-
rectly connect it to CC.
� Uplink: The IQ switching unit of FS receives baseband signals

from RU, performs de-multiplexing, and then transmits them to
baseband board through high-speed serial signals. The base-
band board then performs demodulation to get the original se-
rial signals. These signals are packed into Ethernet frames,
passed to the switching center via GE, and processed as trans-
mission protocols at Abis/Iub on the CC board. Finally, they
are transmitted to BSC/RNC via E1/T1/GE.
System Control Signal Flow

The CC board implements the master control function. The control
signal is distributed to all other boards from the CC board. Figure
15 shows the control signal flow.

board and is distributed to RU via the optical port. Figure 16 shows
the clock distribution.
FIGURE 16 CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
In Figure 16, the clock reference of CC board comes from GPS net-
work. The clock reference of CC board can be: GPS output clock
reference, upper-level clock synchronized with Abis/Iub E1/T1, or
BITS reference clock input from CC front panel. You can select dif-
ferent clock reference sources based on the specific applications.

Ventilation Principle
Heat dissipation in The cooling air in RC8911A cabinet comes from the back, blows
RC8911A cabinet from RSU top to bottom, and goes out from the bottom.
Heat dissipation in The heat dissipation in BC8910A cabinet is implemented by heat
BC8910A cabinet exchanger doing the dissipation with ambient. The front and rear
air ducts for power rectifier, BBU and transmission devices are the
air ducts at left and right sides.

Maintenance Overview
The maintenance involves local maintenance and remote mainte-
nance. Figure 17 shows the networking structure of maintenance
system.
FIGURE 17 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE NETWORKING
� Remote maintenance
In remote maintenance, NetNumen M31 is connected with
OMM on RNC, and then connected with the base station at
Abis/Iub to implement operation and maintenance.
� Local maintenance
In local maintenance, PC is directly connected with the base
station through Ethernet cable to implement operation and
maintenance.

Introduction to Maintenance
Functions
The user interface (UI) of remote maintenance system uses the
topology structure. On the user interface, user can view the in-
formation of various NEs in whole network. The user can select
the NE to be maintained and check its performance data, alarm
information, and configuration data. The user also can perform
maintenance for some NEs on the topology. It mainly provides
the Telecom network management functions:
� Configuration management
User can add, query, delete, modify, and check data consis-
tency for physical and radio resource data. It supports static
and dynamic data configuration.
� Security management
It ensures that only authorized user can perform the proper
command set actions.
� Performance management
It provides performance analysis, call tracing, and signaling
tracing.
� Version management
The user can view hardware/software version running at fore-
ground by NetNumen M31. User can download the software at
background to upgrade the software at foreground.
� Fault management
It includes alarm management and diagnosis test. It can cen-
trally monitor the operation state about the base station and
collect the information of exceptional boards and links in real
time. So, the operation and maintenance staff can easily do
analysis, maintenance, and correction.

Networking Description
Star Networking
Application Star networking is suitable for common application scenarios.
Scenario Generally, it is used in urban areas with dense population.
Networking Mode In star networking, each site has n transmission links that directly
connect BSC/RNC with BTS. The BTS equipment on each site is
terminal equipment. Figure 18 shows the star networking mode.
FIGURE 18 STAR NETWORKING
Benefit and The networking mode is simple, easy maintenance and engineer-
Weakness ing, less loops passed by the signal, and the more reliable. How-

ever, the star networking requires more transmission cables than

other modes.
Chain Networking
Application The chain networking is usually applied in strip-shaped areas with
Scenario sparse population, such as areas along the highway and railway.
Networking Mode To avoid clock performance degradation, it is recommended not to
cascade more than 4 BTSs in the chain networking mode. Figure
19 shows the chain networking of BS8900.
FIGURE 19 CHAIN NETWORKING
Benefit and With chain networking, a number of transmission devices can be

Weakness saved. However, because signal passes through many intermedi-
ate links, the link reliability is comparatively low.
Ring Networking
Application Ring networking can be applied in common application scenarios.
Scenario In normal case, because the ring networking has good self-healing
capability, it is usually recommended to use the ring networking
mode if route permits.
Networking Mode In case of some parts of the ring being broken, the ring changes to
two rings. Figure 20 shows the ring networking mode of BS8900.
FIGURE 20 RING NETWORKING
Benefit and Ring networking is more reliable than chain networking. The for-
Weakness mer has a stronger self-healing capability. If a link in the ring is
broken, the ring network can restore to chain network automati-
cally. Also, the service is not affected.

Reliability
Table of Contents
Hardware Reliability ...........................................................35
Software Reliability ............................................................35
Hardware Reliability
The hardware reliability is achieved through the following aspects.
1. Hard Reset the Board
When the board cannot be reset by software, you can reset the
board by CC. CC can control BPC, FS and SA. Other boards are
not controlled.
2. Online board detection function
CC can learn if the board is proper by checking the communi-
cation with different boards. For more reliable detection, CC
can also do the online detection for different boards through
backplane or wiring at baseband layer.
3. Anti-reverse board function
When board is inserted reversely, the reversed board can not
properly contact the backplane and may damage the equip-
ment.
4. It provides the functions of overvoltage, overcurrent, and re-
verse power polarity prevention.
5. Backup policy
� CC (master control, clock, switching network) supports 1+1
hot active/standby mode.
� BBU uses the conception of resource pool. Baseband board
supports load sharing.
� The FS board supports load sharing.
Software Reliability
The following functions are provided to guarantee software relia-
bility.

1. Reliability of software operation support

� Periodically collect statistics on CPU utilization and stacks.
� Monitor exceptions, such as CPU overload, task in infinite
loop, task suspension, and deadlock.
� Capture various CPU exceptions and perform the proper
treatments.
� Provide the reset log and black box that records the real-
time information on software fault, easy to locate the fault.
2. Reliability of database management
� Provide the exception report mechanism and tell user the
detailed error cause while you do the configuration in Net-
Numen M31.
� Perform foreground-background data consistency check.
That is to say, guarantee the consistency of configuration
data by synchronizing all tables, uploading data, and incre-
mental data synchronization.
� Hot active/standby function. That is to say, keep the data
consistency in active/standby machine by synchronizing all
active/standby tables and incremental active/standby data
synchronization.
� Provide data storage protection mechanism. That is, keep
the data from damaged or corrupted and pass the integrity
& validity inspection by data file mapping, log file, and
memory reservation.
� Provide exceptional log function and operation trace func-
tion, easy to locate the fault.
3. Reliability of link transmission
� Active/standby link switchover, to improve the link reliabil-
ity.
� Use reliable transmission protocol at transmission layer and
prevent from distributed attack of refusal.
� Use multiplexing on IP resource and route table at network
layer by VRF and use default IP gateway function while
searching route is failed.
� Isolate the broadcast by Vlan at link layer, preventing from
the mutual influence by broadcast storm.
� The protocol stack provides the function of protecting re-
ceived packet, preventing from the broadcast storm ex-
hausting.
� Use IPinIP protocol to carry the NetNumen channel and
separate the operation service from maintenance service.
