Reliability

6.1 System Reliability

The system reliability of the BBU and RRU involves the following aspects:
The RRU supports soft reset. In a chain or tree topology, the reset of an upper-level
RRU does not affect its lower-level RRU when the reset is caused by reasons other
than power-off. These topologies can improve system reliability.
In hybrid topology, one RRU can be connected with two BBUs. This ensures that the
services are not affected when one CPRI path is faulty.
Figure 6-1 shows the hybrid topology of the BBUs and RRUs.
Figure 6-1 Hybrid topology of the BBUs and RRUs

The BBUs and RRUs can form a ring network. When unidirectional or bidirectional
fault occurs in any node of the ring, the other RRUs are not affected as they support
automatic switchover in the ring topology. This enhances system reliability. Figure 6-2
shows the ring topology of BBUs and RRUs.

Product Description

Figure 6-2 Ring topology of BBUs and RRUs

6.2 Hardware Reliability

6.2.1 Hardware Reliability of the BBU
The BBU has the following features in terms of hardware reliability:
l

The BBU has built-in N+1 redundant fans. It can automatically adjust the speed of
the fans if the heat dissipation of the system is guaranteed. This helps reduce
noise generated by the fans and minimize fan abrasion, and thus improves the
life span and reliability of the heat dissipation system. The BBU also supports
functions such as fan start, fan shutoff, and fan alarm reporting.

When one fan in the BBU fails, the system can still operate normally, given the
temperature specification for the system is 10C lower or higher than that
specified for the lower threshold or higher threshold, respectively.

The power supply module prevents the BBU from the damage caused by
overcurrent.

The BBU supports overtemperature protection.

The optical modules of the BBU are hot swappable.

The BBU allows environment check. It can also report related alarms.

The BBU has a mechanism to prevent misinsertion and reverse insertion of the
power input port.

DBS3900 V300R008
Product Description

6.2.2 Hardware Reliability of the RRU

Reliability Design for Power Supply
The RRU3004 operates within a wide voltage range. In DC power input, the RRU can
operate in the range 36 V DC to 57 V DC, which means that the system can run
undamaged even the peak voltage reaches 57 V DC.

Over-Temperature Protection
When the internal temperature of the RRU is too high due to ambient factors, the
system automatically enables the auto protection function to reduce power or to shut
down power amplifiers, depending on the severity. When the ambient temperature
comes back to normal, the system automatically disables this function.

6.3 Software Reliability

The DBS3900 software has a very high error tolerance. The whole system does not
break down even if the software fails. This means that the system has the capability of
self-healing. The following describes the error tolerance of the BBU and RRU3004
software.

6.3.1 Regular Check on Key Resources

Seizure check is conducted on various software resources in the system. If a resource
failure occurs due to software faults, the check mechanism can ensure the release of
suspended resources and the output of the related logs and alarms.

6.3.2 Parameters Check

Software checks all parameters contained in the LMT/OMC commands to ensure their
validity. The validity of the data in the data configuration file is also checked when the
system is started. This ensures normal operating of the system. When the software is
active, any possible fault in the software or hardware is monitored. The detected faults
are reported. Task status and system abnormalities can also be monitored.

6.3.3 Software Failure Protection

Locally, the base station saves two software releases and data releases. If a fault
occurs during the software upgrade, the system automatically rolls back to the
previous version. This greatly increases the success rate of software downloading
and makes remote maintenance more practical.

6.3.4 Data Check

In terms of data check, the system performs the following functions: checking data
consistency on a regular or event-driven basis, restoring data consistency selectively
or preferably, and outputting related logs and alarms.

spare space, such as the 19-inch indoor cabinet or rack, outdoor macro base station,
RRU3004 rack, OFB, or APM.

The compact and light RRU can be installed on the concrete pole, the stayed tower, the
stand, or the building wall.

The BBU and RRU can be powered with 48 V DC input and installed outdoor without
equipment room or air conditioner. This meets the economical and speedy deployment.

The external cabling ports of the BBU and RRU are located on the front panel and at the
bottom with silkscreen attached. This makes cabling easy.

Huawei provides all necessary auxiliary devices for the DBS3900, such as AFB,
outdoor SPD, APM, and EPS4815A power conversion module This package solution
covers the power distribution, lightning protection, transmission cabling, installation of
transmission equipment, and power backup for the DBS3900.
The DBS3900 supports automatic setup of the default maintenance channel.
The maintenance personnel only need to start the automatic setup of the default
maintenance channel remotely after the hardware installation. The BSC then can set
up a maintenance channel with the DBS3900 based on some default parameters.
Thus, you can load data and program to the DBS3900 on the BSC side. This feature
improves the system maintainability.
The fast and easy installation of hardware and software significantly decrease the
time for deploying the base stations.

Glossary

B
Baseband

Baseband is a form of modulation in which the information is applied directly onto

the physical transmission medium.

Base
Transceiver
Station

A Base Transceiver Station terminates the radio interface. It allows transmission of

traffic and signaling across the air interface. The BTS includes the baseband
processing, radio equipment, and the antenna.

C
Carrier

A sine wave, whose bandwidth is much higher than the bandwidth of a signal and,
which can be identified by amplitude, frequency, and phase.

H
Handover

The transfer of a users connection from one radio channel to another (can be the
same or different cell).

R
Receive
diversity

The most common type of diversity, where a mobile device uses two physically
separate antennas to combine signals from the two antennas to reduce the impact
of spatial variations in signal strength and thus increase the average data rate
available - sometimes dramatically.

T
TMA

A Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA) is a lower noise amplifier installed close to the
antenna.
