the RRU. For the distributed installation, the RRU is placed close to the antenna.
This can reduce feeder loss and improve NodeB performance.

Compact mini NodeB

The compact mini NodeB BTS3900C is applicable to both indoor and outdoor
environments. It can be installed on the pole, wall, or ground. When it is installed
on the ground, a stand or other kind of support is required.

1.3 Benefits
The 3900 series NodeBs adopt a uniform modular design for multiple radio network
systems, thus adaptive to various installation scenarios. This greatly reduces the
costs in network deployment and operations, such as site acquisition, capacity and
coverage expansion, and environment protection. The 3900 series NodeBs enable
the construction of a future-oriented network and smooth evolution to the Long Term
Evolution (LTE).

1.3.1 Fast Network Deployment and Efficient Site Utilization

The 3900 series NodeBs support both centralized and distributed installations, which
simplifies network deployment and facilitates cost-effective network constructions in
different scenarios.
The BBU3900 can be installed in a 2-U-high and 19-inch-wide indoor space or a
protective outdoor cabinet while the RRU can be installed close to the antenna and
has no footprint.
The cabinet macro NodeB is one of the most compact NodeBs of the
telecommunication industry, because it has a very small footprint. The footprint of the
BTS3900 is 600 mm x 450 mm while that of the BTS3900A is 600 mm x 480 mm.

1.3.2 Cost-Effective Capacity and Coverage Solution

The 4-carrier RRU3804 can generate 60 W power, which is the highest output power
of the Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) RRU in the
telecommunication industry. This outstanding performance ensures wider coverage,
higher throughput, and smaller quantity of sites.
The RRU3804 can stay close to the antenna and communicate with the BBU3900
through optical cables, thus avoiding feeder loss. With the same power and system
capacity, lower feeder loss denotes wider system coverage or smaller quantity of
sites under the fixed coverage.

1.3.3 Construction of a Green Communication Network

Compact and modular design, innovative PA and power consumption management
are the keys to a green communication network that features energy conservation
and requires less equipment rooms.

Product Description

RF units of the 3900 series NodeBs adopt the Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) and ADoherty technologies to raise the PA rate to 40%. Thus, the power consumption of
the entire NodeB is lowered.
The RF cabinet of the BTS3900A is a direct-ventilation cabinet. In comparison to the
traditional macro NodeB, equipment power consumption is lowered by 40%.
The reduced power consumption not only avoids extra electricity expense but also
lessens the investment in power supply, backup batteries, air conditioner, and heat
exchanger.

1.3.4 Minimized Operation Cost

The baseband units, RF units, and power systems of the BTS3900 and DBS3900 fit
all NodeB site types, thereby saving the logistics cost during manufacturing and
transportation and the future maintenance cost.
The 3900 series NodeBs are characterized by separate baseband and RF units,
compact design, and distributed installation. All these features facilitate the
transportation and installation and make network constructions less complicated and
less expensive. For example, special tools such as a crane are dispensable.
The RRU works in natural heat dissipation and has no fans. Its high reliability
reduces the routine maintenance cost.

1.3.5 Easy Evolution to the Future Radio Network

The uniform modular design of the3900 series NodeBs enables the GSM BTS and
UMTS NodeB to share the same cabinet. This facilitates the evolution to the future
radio network and introduction of new radio technologies.
The WCDMA RF unit supports HSPA+ and smooth evolution to the LTE. This realizes
the future-oriented network investment.

configurations, ranging from 1x1 to 6x4 and the configuration of 3x8.

2.2.2 Logical Structure of the BBU3900

The BBU3900 has a modular design. According to the function of each module, it can
be divided into the following subsystems:

Transport subsystem

Baseband subsystem

Control subsystem

Power monitoring module

Figure 1.1 shows the logical structure of the BBU3900.

Figure 1.1 Logical structure of the BBU3900

Product Description

into despreading soft decision symbols after access channel searching,

access channel demodulation, and dedicated channel demodulation. The
signals are then sent to the RNC through the transport subsystem after
decoding and FP processing.

DL baseband signal processing module

The DL baseband signal processing module consists of the modulation unit

and the coding unit. Before sending signals received from the transport
subsystem to the optical module, the module sends service data received
from the transport subsystem to the Frame Protocol (FP) processor. After FP
processing, the module processes the signals through transmission channel
mapping, physical channel generating, framing, spreading, demodulating,
transmit diversity control, and power control combination. The module finally
sends the processed signals to the interface module.

The CPRI module is integrated in the baseband subsystem of the BBU3900.

Control Subsystem
The control subsystem manages the entire distributed NodeB. The subsystem
performs OM, processes signaling, and provides system clocks.
The OM module performs functions such as equipment management, configuration
management, alarm management, software management, and commissioning
management.
The signaling processor performs functions such as the NodeB Application Part
(NBAP) signaling processing, the Access Link Control Application Part (ALCAP)
processing, the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) processing, and the
logical resource management.
The clock sources of the NodeB consist of the phase-locked line clock extracted from
the Iub interface, the Global Positioning System (GPS) clock, and the external clock
such as the Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) clock. The BBU extracts the
clock from the Iub interface and provides the clock for the entire NodeB after
frequency dividing, phase locking, and phase adjusting in the clock module.

Power Monitoring Module

The power monitoring module converts the 48 V DC power to suitable power for the
boards. In addition, it provides the monitoring signal input port.

2.2.3 Boards and Funtional Units of the BBU3900

The BBU3900 consists of different functional units and boards such as the WCDMA
Main Processing & Transmission (WMPT) unit, the Universal Environment Interface
Card (UEIC), the Universal Fan module (UFAN), the Universal Power and
Environment interface Unit (UPEU), as shown in Figure 1.1. The boards support
plug-and-play functions and can be configured as required.

3.1 Distributed NodeB: DBS3900

With the continuous network capacity expansion, site selection has become a
bottleneck during network construction. Solutions to this problem, such as the 2G/3G
co-siting or site reselection, become increasingly difficult to implement and require
more cost.
The DBS3900 typifies the compact design, easy installation, and low power
consumption. In addition, it can reside in the spare space of an existing 2G site. The
RRU also has a compact design and light weight. It can be installed close to the
antenna to decrease cable loss and improve system coverage. All the previously
mentioned features of the distributed NodeB facilitate the site selection, network
planning and optimization. This enables the operators to efficiently deploy a highperformance network with a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) because less
manpower, electric power, and space are required during network construction.
The distributed NodeB has multiple configurations to meet the requirement of quick
network construction in different scenarios.

3.1.1 Integrated Application (BBU3900 + RRU + APM)

If only the AC power is available at a newly built 3G site and power backup is
required, the configuration of BBU3900 + RRU + APM can be applied to perform the
function of the outdoor macro NodeB. Figure 1.1 shows the typical configuration of
BBU3900 + RRU + APM. This configuration has the following features:

The BBU3900 can be placed in the APM and the RRU can be installed on the
metal pole and close to the antenna.

Extra space is reserved in the APM for the BBU3900 installation. In addition, the
APM provides functions such as battery power backup, AC/DC conversion,
power distribution, and surge protection.

The APM30 can be configured with 12 Ah, 24 Ah, or 36 Ah built-in batteries and
the APM100 can be configured with 50 Ah or 100 Ah built-in batteries. Whether
the APM30 or the APM100 should be used depends on the required power

baseband and RF modules. The three module types form different NodeB
products and apply to different scenarios. This concept protects investment in
equipment and maintenance.

The dual-star GE IP switch technology enables exchange of large amount of

internal data and satisfies more data traffic needs for HSPA+ and LTE in the
future.

The hot-swappable BBU3900 provides eight slots and supports smooth capacity
expansion and evolution.

The combination of duplexer and TRU in the RF module enhances the integrity
of RF parts and meets the future requirements of the minimized, high-efficiency,
and low-cost NodeBs.

A minimized NodeB cabinet is easy to carry and install, and the stacked NodeB
cabinets take up a small footprint.

5.2.7 Environment Monitoring

The 3900 series NodeBs are attendance-free and widely applicable, which requires a
sound environment monitoring system to ensure the normal running of the NodeB
equipment and to handle all possible emergencies.
The environment monitoring system provides customized solutions regarding door
control, infrared, smoke, water immersion, humidity, and temperature. Users can also
define external alarms.

5.2.8 License Management

The M2000 is responsible for applying for and activating WRAN licenses. It delivers
license control items to a NodeB and through these items controls the current
services and capacity of the NodeB. The function control items include HSDPA,
OTSR, HSUPA, and MBMS, while the resource control items include the number of
CEs, number of sectors and carriers, and power control.
The 3900 series NodeBs also provide interfaces for querying license control items,
clearing license, and setting license function switches.

5.2.9 Task Management

The 3900 series NodeBs provide maintenance for the BBU, RRU, RET, and EMI.
The 3900 series NodeBs comply with the Antenna Line Device (ALD) protocol of
AISG2.0 and 3GPP, and downwards compatible with the AISG1.1 protocol.
The 3900 series NodeBs provide the RET antenna equipment with all OM functions,
including auto scanning, data configuration (setting of the antenna tilt and TMA gain),
status query, and fault reporting.

Product Description

Reliability

6.1 Overview
The 3900 series NodeBs introduce a fresh new NodeB system structure and
provides a complete redundancy design. It also takes advantage of Huawei largecapacity ASIC chips to enhance the integrity of modules, reduce the number of parts,
and greatly improve the reliability of the system.

6.2 System Reliability

The system reliability of the 3900 series NodeBs is embodied in the load-sharing and
redundancy configuration design, which optimizes the fault detection/isolation
technology of boards and systems and greatly improves the reliability of the system.

Redundancy Design
The main control board, transmission board, power supply unit, and fan in the NodeB
all support redundancy. The BBU supports load sharing.
The CPRI port that connects the BBU and the RRU supports ring networking. When
one CPRI link is faulty, the NodeB can automatically switch to another CPRI link.
The key data such as software version and data configuration files in the NodeB
supports redundancy.

Reliability Design
The NodeB can automatically self-detect and diagnose hardware failure and
environment problems, and then report alarms. It also attempts to conduct selfhealing to clear faults. If the self-healing fails, it can automatically isolate the faults.

Product Description

6.3 Hardware Reliability

Anti-Misinsertion Function of Boards
When a board is wrongly inserted into the slot of another board, the mistaken board
cannot be connected to the backplane and in this way the equipment is free from
damage.

Overtemperature Protection
When the ambient temperature of the power amplifier on the RRU is too high, the
NodeB generates overtemperature alarms and immediately switches off the power
amplifier to prevent it from damage.

Power Supply Reliability

Power supply units of the 3900 series NodeBs are also reliable in the following
aspects:

The 3900 series NodeBs have wide-range voltage and surge protection
functions.

The 3900 series NodeBs provide power failure protection for programs and data.

The boards protect power supply against overvoltage, overcurrent, and reverse
connection of positive and negative poles.

Hierarchical shutdown
The outdoor NodeB performs shutdown for the PA according to the backup
power capacity.

Surge Protection Reliability

The 3900 series NodeBs take surge protection measures on AC/DC power sockets,
input/output signal ports (E1 port, interconnection port, and Boolean alarm port),
antenna connectors, and GPS ports.

6.4 Software Reliability

The software reliability includes the redundancy of key files and data, and the
powerful error tolerance of software.

Software Redundancy
The 3900 series NodeBs provide redundancy for key files and data such as software
versions and data configuration files to prevent them from damage and to ensure the
normal running of the NodeBs.

Redundancy of software versions

The 3900 series NodeBs provide separate redundancy for software versions
including the BootROM software version to avoid version problems. If one
version is faulty, the NodeB can switch to the backup version.

Redundancy of data configuration files

Commercial in Confidence

Page 47 Total 59

RNA10.0 3900 Series WCDMA NodeB

Product Description

The 3900 series NodeBs provide separate redundancy for data configuration
files to avoid interrupting the running of the files. If the current file is faulty, the
backup file can still work properly.

Error Tolerance
When the software is faulty, it does not affect the entire NodeB because the system is
capable of self-healing. The software error tolerance functions are as follows:

Scheduled detection of key resources

The 3900 series NodeBs perform occupancy check on software resources. If
resource hang-up occurs due to software faults, the NodeB can release the
unavailable resources in time and export logs and alarms.

Task monitoring
During the running of software, the 3900 series NodeBs monitor the internal
errors of all software and some hardware faults, if any. The 3900 series NodeBs
also monitor task progress and running status, report alarms when the system is
faulty, and try to restore the task by self-healing.

Data Consistency Check

The 3900 series NodeBs perform scheduled or event-triggered data consistency
check and can restore the data consistency preferably or preferentially. Also,
they generate related logs and alarms.

Dongle
The 3900 series NodeBs can detect the irregular running status of the software
and then automatically reset the system through the dongles at both software
and hardware levels.
