1 Introduction
Introduction
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is an evolved telecom standard. It provides various technical
benefits to Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN), including:
LTE has flexible bandwidths, enhanced modulation schemes, and effective scheduling. In
addition, LTE allows operators to use both original and new spectral resources to provide data
and voice services.
1.1 Overview
Focusing on customer-oriented innovation, Huawei launches a series of LTE products in its
SingleBTS product portfolio. The LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) 3900 series base
stations (referred to as the 3900 series eNodeBs in this document) fully utilize Huawei
platform resources and use a variety of technologies to meet the challenges of mobile network
development.
The E-UTRAN NodeB (eNodeB) is used for radio access in the LTE system. The eNodeB
mainly performs Radio Resource Management (RRM) functions such as air interface
management, access control, mobility control, and User Equipment (UE) resource allocation.
Multiple eNodeBs constitute an E-UTRAN system.
The innovative design and flexible combinations of basic modules and auxiliary devices
encourage Huawei to diversify 3900 series eNodeB products. Figure 1-1 shows the 3900
series eNodeBs.

1 Introduction
1.2 Benefits
Diverse Usage Scenarios and RF Module Types for Different
Network Deployment Requirements
Huawei provides two types of radio frequency (RF) modules: radio frequency unit (RFU) and
remote radio unit (RRU), which can be installed based on installation scenarios for macro and
distributed eNodeBs. Each RF module provides at least two TX channels and two RX
channels (2T2R). The modules support main LTE frequency bands and the minimum
requirement of 2x2 uplink and downlink multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). RRUs that
are designed with 2T4R or 4T4R are adopted to meet the requirement of higher MIMO. RF
modules are also characterized by their support for various bandwidths, great TX power, and
high power amplification efficiency. 3mRRU that supports multi-carrier, multi-mode, and
MIMO is one of the smallest, lightest, and most-efficient RF modules in the industry. Diverse
usage scenarios and RF module types can meet different network deployment requirements of
operators.
As a SingleRAN solution, the 3900 series eNodeBs can share the mature platform with
other base stations, such as the 3900 series base stations working in GSM or UMTS
mode. Equipment of different standards can be installed in the same cabinet. An indoor
cabinet or a BTS3900AL outdoor cabinet supports a maximum of five carriers and three
standards (GSM, UMTS, and LTE).
The 3900 series eNodeBs enable smooth network upgrade by sharing equipment with
other base stations working in the same frequency band according to the
software-defined radio (SDR) technology. This protects the original investment and
reduces the cost of network deployment.

2.2.1 BBU
The BBU (BBU3900 and BBU3910) is a baseband control unit and performs the following
functions:
Centrally manages the entire base station, including operation and maintenance,
signaling processing, and the system clock.
Provides physical ports, which are used to connect the base station to the transport
network for information exchange; a maintenance channel, which is used to connect the
BBU to the operation and maintenance center (OMC); CPRI ports for
communication with RF modules; and ports for communication with environment
monitoring devices.
NOTE
For details about the BBU3900 and BBU3910, see the BBU3900 Description and BBU3910 Description,
respectively.
2.2.2 RFU
An RFU is a radio frequency unit. RFUs modulate and demodulate baseband signals and RF
signals, process data, amplify power, and detect standing waves.

NOTE
In SRAN9.0 or later:
As listed Table 2-19, the pRRU can connect to the RHUB through one Ethernet cable to carry the CPRI
data. Therefore, one RHUB can connect to a maximum of eight pRRUs. Table 2-20 lists the number of
required Ethernet cables for the LampSite solution in different scenarios.
In the UMTS mode, the WBBPf or UBBPd board can be used as the baseband processing board. In the
LTE mode, the LBBPd or UBBPd board can be used as the baseband board. The UBBPd board is
recommended.
When the UBBP board is used as the baseband board, the board supports only single-mode networks,
not multi-mode networks.
In the preceding tables, combination indicates combination of pRRU cells.
One pRRU has three slots, in which RF daughter boards in different modes can be configured
to achieve flexible multi-mode configurations. Table 2-20 lists the number of required
Ethernet cables for the LampSite solution in different scenarios.

3.1 Overview
The eNodeB supports the OM system that is based on the man-machine language (MML) and
the Graphical User Interface (GUI). The OM system enables a hardware-independent OM
mechanism and provides powerful OM functions to meet various OM requirements.
The eNodeB supports local maintenance and remote maintenance. In the OM system, the
maintenance terminal supports the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), and can access the
eNodeB using the Intranet or Internet, which makes maintenance more convenient and
flexible.
3.2 OM System
Figure 3-1 shows the OM system of the eNodeB.
Figure 3-1 OM system
The OM system consists of the LMT and the iManager U2000 (U2000 for short). The LMT is
used to maintain a single eNodeB. To perform maintenance operations, you can connect the
Issue 02 (2014-06-30)
42
LMT to the eNodeB by using an Ethernet cable (local maintenance) or IP network (remote
maintenance). The U2000, a mobile element management system provided by Huawei, is
used to remotely maintain multiple eNodeBs of different software versions.
The functions of the OM system are as follows:
