1 DBS3900 LTE Overview

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the next step in 3G technology. LTE provides various

technical benefits to Radio Access Network (RAN), such as flat network structure,

reduced time delay, higher user data rates, improved spectral efficiency, optimized

support for packet services, and improved system capacity and coverage. Compared

with the 3G network, LTE has flexible bandwidth, enhanced modulation schemes, and

effective scheduling, which meets the needs of operators. In addition, LTE allows

operators to use both existing and new spectral resources to provide data and voice

services.

1.1 Positioning

Focusing on the concept of customer-oriented innovation, Huawei launches the

distributed E-UTRAN NodeB (eNodeB) DBS3900 LTE, one of the products in

Huawei's SingleBTS product portfolio. The DBS3900 LTE fully exploits Huawei

platform resources and uses a variety of technologies.

The eNodeB represents the radio access equipment in the LTE system. Examples of

radio access function the eNodeB performs are Radio Resource Management (RRM)

functions such as air interface management, access control, mobility control, and UE

resource allocation. Multiple eNodeBs constitute an Evolved Universal Terrestrial

Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) system.

1.2 Benefits

Advanced BS Platform, 2G and 3G Co-Network, RAN Sharing, and Smooth Evolution

� As LTE is one feature of SingleRAN,The DBS3900 LTE achieves smooth

network upgrade by sharing the hardware platform and equipment of Huawei

SingleBTS products with the DBS3900 GSM, DBS3900 UMTS, DBS3900

CDMA, or DBS3900 WiMAX. This saves the cost of LTE site deployment.

� The DBS3900 LTE can share the network with the 2G or 3G network, and

supports handovers between the LTE and the PS domain of the

GERAN/UTRAN/CDMA2000. This facilitates LTE network deployment in the

existing 2G or 3G network.

� The DBS3900 LTE supports RAN sharing. Different operators can share the

RAN network, thus reducing Capital Expenditure (CAPEX).

� The BBU3900 is the baseband unit of the DBS3900 LTE. The BBU3900 is

hardware ready in terms of multi-mode applications. Therefore, boards of

different modes installed in one BBU3900 are supported.

� The RRU is the remote radio unit of the DBS3900 LTE. The BBU3900 and RRU

can be flexibly configured on the basis of capacity and coverage requirements.

Using the approach of stack installation, capacity expansion can be easily

achieved through board/module stacking, rather than equipment replacement.

Therefore, the cost of hardware upgrade is significantly reduced.




Page 6 of 47

Large Capacity, Extensive Coverage, and High Throughput � The DBS3900 LTE provides large capacity, with a single eNodeB supporting a

maximum of 3,600 users in connected state (RRC connected).

� The DBS3900 LTE provides extensive coverage. With features such as

multi-antenna RX diversity and uplink Inter-cell Interference Coordination

(ICIC), the DBS3900 LTE supports a maximum cell radius of 100 km.

� The DBS3900 LTE provides high throughput. With features such as 64QAM

high-order modulation, uplink and downlink Multiple Input Multiple Output

(MIMO), and ICIC, the DBS3900 LTE reaches the maximum throughput of 450

Mbit/s in the downlink and 300 Mbit/s in the uplink.

Enhanced SON Function � Automatic configuration: The DBS3900 LTE can automatically obtain connection

parameters, download software, configure data, conduct tests, and upload

information to the EMS. This requires less preparation for data configuration and

reduces manual handling during site startup. Therefore, the OPEX can be

minimized.

� Automatic Neighboring Relation (ANR): The DBS3900 LTE can automatically

maintain the integrity and validity of the neighboring cell list by automatically

detecting missing neighboring cells and evaluating the neighboring cell

relationships. This increases the handover success rate and reduces the cost of

network planning and optimization.

� Automatic detection of Physical Cell Identifier (PCI) conflicts, sleeping cells, and

antenna faults: PCI conflicts, sleeping cells, and antenna faults are automatically

detected and reported, thus reducing the workload of manual network fault

location.

Comprehensive IP Transport � A wide variety of transmission ports are supported, such as FE/GE electrical ports,

FE/GE optical ports, and E1/T1 ports.

� All-IP transport is supported. In addition, diversified network topologies are

supported, such as star, chain, and tree topologies.

� Multiple QoS mechanisms are adopted to guarantee the transmission QoS, thus

providing highest capacity, implementing differentiated services, and meeting

QoS requirements of services.

Easy Installation and Low CAPEX for Operators

The DBS3900 LTE is compact, light, and easy to transport, and it also supports

distributed installation, thus reducing large scale construction engineering and saving

the CAPEX.

The BBU3900 can be installed on an indoor wall or in a standard cabinet. This reduces

unnecessary installation investment. The RRU can be mounted to a pole, tower, or

concrete wall. Flexible installation location and low space requirements reduce site

lease costs. The RRU can be installed close to the antenna system in order to reduce

the cost of feeders and power consumption.

2 Architecture

2.1 Overview The DBS3900 LTE features a distributed architecture. The two basic modules of the

DBS3900 LTE consist of the BBU3900 (BaseBand Unit) and Remote Radio Unit

(RRU). The BBU3900 and RRU are inter-connected through a standardized Common

Public Radio Interface (CPRI) using optical cables.

Auxiliary devices of the DBS3900 LTE are the supporting parts for the BBU3900 and

RRU. Auxiliary devices provide installation space for the BBU3900 and supply power

to the BBU3900 and RRU. Examples of auxiliary devices of the DBS3900 LTE are the

Advanced Power Module with heat-exchanger cooler (APM30H Ver.B), Integrated

Battery Backup System with direct cooler (IBBS200D Ver.B) or Integrated Battery

Backup System with TEC cooler (IBBS200T Ver.B), and Transmission Cabinet with

heat-exchanger cooler (TMC11H Ver.B). Flexible combinations of the two basic

modules and auxiliary devices can provide comprehensive site solutions that are

applicable to different scenarios.

3 Application Scenarios

3.1 Overview With continuous capacity expansion of the mobile network, site selection for the base

station has turned into a bottleneck during network deployment. Site selection

becomes increasingly complex to implement and requires additional investment in

network deployment.

The DBS3900 LTE is characterized by its small footprint, easy installation, and low

power consumption. Therefore, the DBS3900 LTE can be easily installed in a spare

space at an existing site. The RRU is also compact and light. It can be installed close

to the antenna to reduce feeder loss and to improve system coverage. With these

characteristics, the DBS3900 LTE fully addresses operators' concern over site

acquisition and reduces network deployment time. Therefore, the DBS3900 LTE

enables operators to efficiently deploy a high-performance LTE network with a low

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by minimizing the investment in electricity, space,

and manpower.

The DBS3900 LTE has flexible applications to meet the requirement of fast network

deployment in different scenarios.

3.2 BBU+RRU+APM30H Ver.B If an outdoor site for the DBS3900 LTE has only a 220 V AC power supply available,

the integrated configuration of the BBU+RRU+APM30H Ver.B can be used.

In this scenario, the BBU3900 and transmission equipment are installed in the

APM30H Ver.B for protection. The RRU can be installed flexibly. The BBU3900,

RRU, and auxiliary devices can be combined in many ways to meet different

requirements for power distribution, power backup, and expansion of transmission

equipment space. Figure 3-1 shows the application scenario.




Page 20 of 47

Figure 3-1 Application scenario of BBU+RRU+APM30H Ver.B

This application scenario has the following features:

� The APM30H Ver.B can provide a maximum of 7 U space for installing

equipment.

� The APM30H Ver.B provides installation space and outdoor protection for the

BBU3900 and supplies –48 V DC power to the BBU3900 and RRU. In addition,

the APM30H Ver.B provides battery backup for short-term use, manages batteries,

and performs surge protection.

� The RRU can be installed on a wall, pole, or tower.

3.3 BBU+RRU+TMC11H Ver.B

If an outdoor site for the DBS3900 LTE has only a –48 V DC power supply available

and a larger space for equipment is required, the BBU+RRU+TMC11H Ver.B solution

can be adopted.

The BBU3900 and transmission equipment are installed in the TMC11H Ver.B, which

provides a large installation space. The BBU3900, RRU, and auxiliary devices can be

combined in many ways to meet different requirements for power distribution, power

backup, and expansion of transmission equipment space. Figure 3-2 shows the

application scenario.

� The TMC11H Ver.B provides installation space and outdoor protection for the

BBU3900 and supplies –48 V DC power to the BBU3900 and RRU.


3.4 BBU+RRU+19-Inch Cabinet

If an indoor site for the DBS3900 LTE has only a –48 V DC power supply available

and a new backup power supply system is required, the BBU3900 can be installed in a

standard cabinet, which provides a 19-inch-wide and 2 U-high space. This is the

BBU+RRU+19-inch cabinet solution.

The BBU3900 can be installed in an existing 19-inch rack or cabinet to share the

power supply system and transmission system with the existing network. Figure 3-3

shows the application scenario.

3.6 BBU+RRU+ICR

If an indoor site for the DBS3900 LTE has a 220 V AC or –48 V DC power supply

available and a new backup power supply is required, the BBU3900 can be installed in

an Indoor Centralized Rack (ICR), which provides a 19-inch-wide and 3 U-high space.

The RRU can be installed in an RF subrack. This is the BBU+RRU+ICR solution.

A maximum of six RRUs can be installed in a centralized manner. The BBU3900 can

be installed in an existing ICR to share the power supply system and the transmission

system in the existing network. Figure 3-5 shows the application scenario.

5 Operation and Maintenance

5.1 Overview

The DBS3900 LTE, which has the same OM functions as the eNodeB, is one of the

eNodeB product portfolios launched by Huawei. The eNodeB supports the OM system

that is based on the Man Machine Language (MML) and the Graphic 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 through the Intranet or Internet, which makes maintenance more

convenient and flexible.

LMT

The OM system consists of the Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) and the iManager

M2000 Mobile Element Management System (M2000). The LMT is used to maintain

a single eNodeB. To perform maintenance operations, you can connect the LMT to the

eNodeB through an Ethernet cable (local maintenance) or IP network (remote

maintenance). The M2000 is used to remotely maintain multiple eNodeBs of different

software versions.

The functions of the OM system are as follows:

� The LMT performs functions such as data configuration, alarm monitoring,

commissioning, and software upgrade. The LMT supports both MML and GUI

modes.

� The M2000 performs functions such as data configuration, alarm monitoring,

performance monitoring, and software upgrade. The M2000 supports both MML

and GUI modes.

restoration functions. At the same time, it can synchronize data with the

M2000.

− The eNodeB updates all the configuration commands delivered to the eNodeB

and checks the configuration restrictions, thus avoiding impact of

maloperations.

− The CME supports configuration rollback in batches. Therefore, when the

user discovers abnormal running or malfunctions of the system after the

configuration, the user can run a rollback command to restore data.

� Excellent scalability

− Configuration management through the northbound network management

system (NMS) is supported.

− The user can add, remove, or modify eNodeB configurations through MML

commands.

− The user can use MML commands and the iSStar of the M2000 to customize

functions of the M2000, for example, to customize troubleshooting

procedures.

5.3.2 Fault Management

The fault management of the eNodeB provides easy fault localization, high reliability,

and various tracing and monitoring methods.

� Easy fault localization

− Alarm handling suggestions are offered for every alarm, which helps the user

to locate and rectify the fault.

− For localization methods, alarm handling involves related maintenance and

required tools.

− For KPI level service failures, the eNodeB offers methods to rectify faults,

which helps the user to locate and solve the problem quickly and accurately.

− The eNodeB supports the alarm correlation function. For all the faults caused

by a radical cause, the eNodeB reports only one radical alarm and its eventual

impact on the system. The user can easily locate the radical cause of the alarm

through the alarm correlation, and then rectify the fault.

� High reliability

− Fault detection is comprehensive and accurate. The eNodeB provides the fault

detection function for the hardware, software, antenna, transmission, cell, and

environment, in which the fault detection for the environment is performed in

terms of door status control, infrared, smoke, water damage, and temperature.

In addition, the system allows customization of external alarms.

− Fault isolation and self-healing of the eNodeB also ensure that the local

failure does not affect the other parts of the system. In addition, the eNodeB




Page 32 of 47

can set up the cell again with degraded specifications to minimize the impact

of the failure on services.

� Various tracing and monitoring methods

− The eNodeB supports various tracing functions to check the compatibility of

interfaces. The tracing functions are to trace the standard signaling of one UE

in the entire network, in a cell, or on standard interfaces. The user can trace

operations of the eNodeB on the LMT/M2000 in real time, or browse and

analyze tracing results later.

− The eNodeB supports the real-time performance monitoring in GUI mode,

thus facilitating the user to locate performance failures speedily. The user can

monitor the transmission quality of user-level or cell-level air interface, air

interface performance and interference, and quality of transmission links in

real time.

− The eNodeB supports one-click collection and upload of system logs. When

the user fails to locate or rectify faults, this function helps the user to collect

the detailed field information. Then the user can provide the fault information

to Huawei Customer Service Center for more efficient troubleshooting.

5.3.3 Performance Management

The performance management features multiple monitoring and reporting periods and

appropriate measurement point allocation, which meets requirements in different

scenarios.

� Multiple monitoring and reporting periods

− The eNodeB can collect performance counters every 15 or 60 minutes. The

default value is 60 minutes.

− The eNodeB supports real-time monitoring of KPIs for a duration of 1 minute.

� Appropriate measurement point allocation

− The eNodeB supports performance measurement of system-level or cell-level,

of neighboring cells, on interfaces, and of device usage, which helps the user

to locate faults.

5.3.4 Security Management

The security management provides network-level and user-level security services.

The eNodeB supports the following services to ensure the security, integrity, and

availability of the system:

� Encryption of key information of the user

� User account management and authentication

� Control over access rights of the user

� Support of security protocols such as FTP Over SSL (FTPS), Secure Socket

Layer (SSL), and IP Security (IPSec)

� Automatic record of the account usage information

Page 33 of 47

5.3.5 Software Management

The software management of the eNodeB features easy accessibility, high efficiency,

and small impact on services during software upgrade.


− The user can perform health check on the eNodeB before and after an upgrade,

back up, download, and activate the software step by step through the upgrade

wizard of the M2000. In addition, this function facilitates the user to query the

upgrade status and result.

− The eNodeB automatically upgrades the configuration data during upgrade.

Therefore, the user need not prepare the configuration data.

� High efficiency

− The eNodeB supports remote upgrade and batch upgrade.

− The eNodeB supports upgrade strategy management. After the upgrade

strategy is set, the eNodeB can perform software upgrade automatically.

� Small impact on services during software upgrade

− The eNodeB supports fast upgrade rollback. The user can perform version

rollback through one command, thus reducing the impact of upgrade failures

on the system.

− The eNodeB supports the management of patch packages. The eNodeB

supports hot patches, so that software corrections can be handled without

interrupting system operation.

5.3.6 Deployment Management

The eNodeB deployment solutions consist of automatic identification of the eNodeB

and initial configuration through a USB disk. In addition, local commissioning is not

required. All these functions contribute to the ease of the deployment work and

shortening of work time. The field engineer only needs to install the hardware during

site deployment. No PC is required.

� The automatic eNodeB identification function of GPS binding and unique ID

binding is supported.

� The user can download the software and data of the eNodeB through a USB disk,

thus saving a lot of time especially when the transmission bandwidth to the NE

and the NMS is limited.

� Because local commissioning is not required, the software commissioning is

performed in the network management center instead of on site. The user can

check and accept the site deployment in the network management center.

5.3.7 Equipment Management

The eNodeB offers several user-friendly management functions.

� Multiple functions

− The eNodeB provides functions such as fault detection, data configuration,

status management, and inventory reporting for the main equipment,
