Introduction
1.1 Product Positioning

The mobile communications, which takes an ever-changing presence with each
passing day, blazes a trail for the upgrade of technologies and products. The growing
trend of mobile communications comprises a series of evolution, from GSM to EDGE
to EDGE+ and from WCDMA to HSPA to HSPA+ and LTE, and it is worth mentioning
that WiMAX also joins the 3G family. To follow the trend, the network operators have
to devote more CAPEX and OPEX to the dramatic change of technologies, and
therefore they are currently focusing on the merge of multiple network systems into a
more cost-effective one.
Upon the transition of mobile networks, the network operators target at the Blue
Ocean Strategy and invite innovative and responsive partners. Customer-oriented
and innovative, Huawei advocates four basic technological concepts: green, merge,
wideband, and evolution. Huawei will take the lead in developing the next-generation
base stations and the 3900 series NodeBs, Huawei's fourth generation base stations,
will outclass other base stations to benefit operators with future-oriented networks.
Huawei unveils cutting-edge techniques in the 3900 series NodeBs, such as
wideband, multi-mode system, and modular design. The 3900 series NodeBs consist
of only three basic functional modules, characterized by compact structure, high
integration, low power consumption, and easy and quick deployment. Flexible
combinations of functional modules and auxiliary devices encourage Huawei to
diversify the products. More importantly, the modules for different modes of systems
can be installed in one cabinet to work as a base station adapting to different
scenarios. Huawei also actively introduces new frequency bands and technologies to
well meet operators' requirement for a compact multi-mode mobile network system.
Figure 1.1 shows the basic functional modules and auxiliary devices of the 3900
series NodeBs.

Figure 1.1 Basic functional modules and auxiliary devices
1.2 Product Features

Adaptable to Diversified Radio Environments
Different combinations of functional modules and auxiliary devices diversify the
NodeB products. For example, there are macro NodeB, distributed NodeB, and mini
compact NodeB, which operate in different scenarios to better meet different network
deployment requirements.
The 3900 series NodeBs provide a platform for the Huawei wireless products. To be
specific, the base stations of different network systems such as GSM, WCDMA,
CDMA, and WiMAX can share the same cabinet or even share one functional
module at the same frequency band (based on the SDR technology), which makes it
easy for network operators to choose a site type.
Issue V1.0 (2009-01-16)
Greatly Reduced Total Cost of Operation (TCO)

The 3900 series NodeBs have many advantages, such as flexible installation, easy
site selection, cost-effective solution, and fast network construction. The baseband
module (BBU3900) is only 19 inches wide and 2 U high, taking a very small indoor
space or taking a place in an outdoor cabinet. The RF module (RRU3900) can be
installed close to the antenna without taking any space of the equipment room.
The RRU3804 supports up to four carriers with an output power of 60 W, known as
the highest output power of the RRU in the telecom industry. The outstanding
performance ensures wide coverage and high throughput. When two carriers are
configured for the RRU3804, the number of sites can be reduced by 40%.
The 3900 series NodeBs use the high-efficiency digital Power Amplifier (PA), which
greatly reduces power consumption and helps build a green communication network.
Compared with the traditional NodeB, the macro NodeB (BTS3900) has its power
consumption reduced by 30%; compared with the traditional macro NodeB, the
BTS3900A cabinet, which is in direct-ventilation, has its power consumption reduced
by 40%.
Based on the IP switch and multi-carrier technologies, the 3900 series NodeBs
support the bandwidth of over 100 Mbit/s, which keeps up with the fast growing
mobile data services and provides users with higher data transmission rate.
Smooth Evolution to Future Radio Network Systems

The 3900 series NodeBs support smooth evolution to HSPA+ and Long Term
Evolution (LTE), thus fully protecting the investment of network operators.
Issue V1.0 (2009-01-16)

Products and Application Scenarios
3.1 Overview
Various forms of Huawei 3900 series NodeB products allow network deployment in
different application scenarios, thus providing a perfect whole-network solution for
operators. The Huawei 3900 series NodeBs consist of the indoor macro NodeB
(BTS3900), outdoor macro NodeB (BTS3900A), distributed NodeB (DBS3900), and
mini NodeB (BTS3900C). The BTS3900 applies to indoor scenarios where population
density is high, traffic is large, lease expense of equipment rooms is high, and space
is limited. The BTS3900A applies to outdoor scenarios in urban, suburb, and rural
areas where large-capacity coverage is required. The DBS3900 applies to outdoor
scenarios where wide coverage is required and site construction is difficult. The
BTS3900C applies to indoor scenarios and hotspot areas. Figure 1.1 shows the
application scenarios of the 3900 series NodeBs.

Figure 1.1 Application scenarios of the 3900 series NodeBs
3.2 Application scenarios

3.2.1 Distributed NodeBDBS3900
As demand for environmental protection as well as lease cost has increased, the site
selection has become a bottleneck in network deployment. It is increasingly difficult to
adopt 2G/3G co-siting or to select a new site.
The distributed NodeB (DBS3900) developed by Huawei features high integration,
easy installation, and low power consumption. All these features can facilitate site
reselection and 2G/3G co-siting. In addition, the WRRU can be installed close to the
antenna. In this way, the feeder consumption is reduced and system coverage is
improved.
The DBS3900 has flexible applications to adapt to different scenarios with
requirements for fast network construction.
Integrated Application
If only the AC power is available at a new outdoor 3G site and power backup device
is required, the combination of DBS3900 and APM can function as an outdoor macro
NodeB. Figure 1.1 shows the typical configuration of DBS3900 + APM.
This configuration has the following features:
The BBU3900 and transmission equipment can be installed in the APM cabinet
and the RRU can be installed close to the antenna.
Issue V1.0 (2009-01-16)
32
The APM provides installation space and outdoor protection for the BBU3900
and supplies 48 V DC power to the BBU3900 and the RRU. In addition, the
APM manages and monitors the batteries and provides surge protection for the
batteries.
The APM30 or APM30H can be configured with 50 Ah or 92 Ah batteries,

depending on the power backup duration.
Figure 1.1 DBS3900 + APM
Embedded Application with Existing Site Equipment

For the 2G/3G co-siting scenario, the BBU3900 can be installed in a standard 19inch-wide and 2 U-high cabinet, and the RRU can be installed close to the antenna,
as shown in Figure 1.1. The BBU3900 and the RRU can share the power backup
system, transmission system, and antenna system of the BTS in the 2G network. In
this way, operators can launch 3G services on the existing 2G network at a very low
cost.

Outdoor BBU Application

For the 2G/3G co-siting scenario, the BBU3900 can be installed in the outdoor mini
cabinet to function as an outdoor BBU. The RRU can be installed close to the
antenna for easy and quick deployment, as shown in Figure 1.1.

3.2.2 Indoor Macro NodeBBTS3900

The BTS3900, as shown in Figure 1.1, is applicable to indoor scenarios such as
centralized installation and relocation. The BTS3900, as one of the most compact
indoor macro NodeBs in the telecommunication industry, boasts large capacity and
sound scalability. It has a small footprint and supports the GSM and WCDMA dualmode application.
Figure 1.1 Indoor cabinet macro NodeB
3.2.3 Outdoor Macro NodeBBTS3900A

The BTS3900A is applicable to the outdoor scenarios such as centralized installation
and replacement of the outdoor macro NodeB. The BBU3900 is installed in the
APM30 or APM30H, and the WRFU is installed in the outdoor RF cabinet.
Configurations of the BTS3900A vary with different application scenarios, as shown
in Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.2.
As the most compact outdoor cabinet macro NodeB in the industry, features light
weight and easy transportation due to its stacking design. The RF modules in GSM,
UMTS, and LTE modes can share one RF cabinet, which saves installation space
and facilitates smooth evolution.

3.2.4 Outdoor Mini NodeBBTS3900C

The BTS3900C applies to the new outdoor 3G site environments such as tunnels,
hot spots, places without equipment rooms, and marginal networks.
The BTS3900C supports 48 V DC power and 220 V AC power. If 48 V DC power is
used, the mini cabinet must be configured with a DC power distribution box, as
shown in Figure 1.1. If 220 V AC power is used, the mini cabinet must be configured
with an EPS30-4815A and an SPD (AC), as shown in Figure 1.2. The BTS3900C can
be installed on the pole, against the wall, or on the ground. The stand or support of
other types can be applied to the installation of the BTS3900C on the ground.

3.2.5 Multi-Mode Base Station

The 3900 series NodeBs feature a unified platform and a modular design. Therefore,
co-siting of modules in GSM, UMTS, or LTE mode can be supported, the baseband
processing units and RF modules can share the same hardware platform, and
modules in different modes can be located in one cabinet to support multi-mode
application. This helps implement smooth evolution from GSM to UMTS or LTE.
With baseband modules for different modes configured in one cabinet, the base
station can support the GSM only mode, UMTS only mode, or GSM/UMTS dual
mode. In addition, with the baseband modules for LTE mode configured in the future,
the base station can support the GSM/UMTS/LTE multi-mode application.
With RF modules for different modes configured in one cabinet, the base station can
support the GSM only mode, UMTS only mode, or GSM/UMTS dual mode.
The RF modules in UMTS mode are LTE-ready in hardware. Thus the base station
can support UMTS/LTE dual-mode through software upgrade in the same frequency
band.
Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.2 show the multi-mode base stations for indoor and outdoor
application respectively.
