5.2 O&M Functions

The O&M functions include configuration management, fault management, performance
management, security management, software management, deployment management, device
management, and inventory management.

BTS3911B
5.1 O&M Modes

This chapter describes the O&M modes and O&M system for the BTS3911B.
The BTS3911B supports the following O&M modes:
l Remote maintenance on the U2000 at the OMC

l Local maintenance on the LMT through Wi-Fi in the event of a disconnection between the
BTS3911B and the U2000
Figure 5-1 shows the O&M system for the BTS3911B.
Figure 5-1 O&M system for the BTS3911B
An O&M system of the BTS3911B includes the following elements:
l LMT: maintains a single base station locally.

l U2000: maintains multiple base stations remotely.
l CME: configures and manages base station data.
l BTS3911B: refers to the target of O&M operations.
5.2 O&M Functions

The O&M functions include configuration management, fault management, performance
management, security management, software management, deployment management, device
management, and inventory management.
Configuration Management
Configuration management allows operators to configure network resources by using
configuration data in network devices, thereby controlling the running status of network devices.
Configuration management is required on the entire network O&M cycle.
l During network deployment, configuration management allows operators to initialize

configuration data, and install and set up network devices. BTS3911Bs support regional
deployment and site deployment.

BTS3911B
In regional deployment, BTS3911Bs in the same region are deployed in a batch. They
share the common parameter settings, and automatic network planning completes the
specific parameter settings.
Site deployment is applicable to operator-specific private networks, small-scale
BTS3911B deployment scenarios, and the scenarios where regional deployment is not
supported. Operators can use the CME or run MML commands to deploy BTS3911Bs.
l During network adjustment, optimization, or routine O&M, configuration management
allows operators to configure parameters for new features, and modify parameter settings
for scenarios such as network capacity expansion, transmission adjustment, and wireless
network performance optimization. Configuration management also allows operators to
monitor and modify network parameters.
Fault Management
Fault management involves fault detection, fault isolation, self-healing, alarm reporting, and
alarm correlation. The BTS3911B can manage faults in hardware, environment, software,
transmission, cells, and services.
l Users view faults on the device panel and perform simple operations.
l Fault isolation prevents faults from affecting the operational continuity of the BTS3911B.
Self-healing minimizes the impact of faults on services by lowering performance or
reestablishing cells.
l Alarm correlation enables the BTS3911B to report only the root fault and the ultimate
impact on services. Alarm correlation helps engineers quickly pinpoint the root fault,
analyze severity, and take measures to rectify the root fault instead of rectifying the
associated faults.
Performance Management
Performance management involves periodic performance measurement on the BTS3911B and
the collection, storage, and reporting of measurement results
Tracing Management
Tracing management facilitates routine maintenance, commissioning, and troubleshooting by
tracing internal messages as well as messages related to interfaces, signaling links, and UEs.
Signaling messages are traced either on the U2000 or on the LMT:
l Signaling message tracing on the U2000

Message reporting: The BTS3911B reports signaling messages directly to the U2000.
File reporting: The BTS3911B saves signaling messages as a file and then reports the
file to the U2000 periodically.
l Signaling message tracing on the LMT supports only message reporting.
Security Management
Security management implements user authentication and access control. It includes user
account management, rights management, login management, identity authentication, and
operation authentication.

BTS3911B
Security control on the transmission channels between the BTS3911B and the U2000 supports
IPsec, Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and Datagram Transport
Layer Security (DTLS).
Security management provides network- and user-specific security services. It provides the
following functions:
l Encryption: encrypts important user information.

l Authentication: manages and authenticates user accounts.
l Access control: controls user operations.
l Security protocol: supports SSL.
Software Management
Software management involves the following functions:
l Software version management: Software versions can be queried, and restored.

l Software version upgrade: BTS3911Bs can be remotely upgraded in batches. With the one-
click remote upgrade wizard provided by the U2000, you can:
Perform health checks before and after upgrades.
Check the upgrade status and results.
The BTS3911B supports automatic configuration updates during upgrades. To
complete an upgrade, simply follow the instructions on the upgrade wizard. It also
allows you to rapidly roll back the current software version by running a single
command, reducing the impact of upgrade failures.
l Patch management involves patch query, download, loading, activation, deactivation,
rollback, confirmation, and removal.
Inventory Management
Inventory management involves the collection and reporting of inventory information about the
BTS3911B. With inventory management, you can manage network equipment assets at the
OMC.

6.2 Reliability
This chapter describes the reliability of the BTS3911B, including system reliability, hardware
reliability, and software reliability.
System Reliability
BTS3911Bs significantly improve system reliability. They use the reliability design with
features such as load sharing and configuration redundancy, as well as optimized fault detection
and isolation technologies for boards and systems.

BTS3911B
l Redundancy
Units, such as the power supply unit, all support redundancy.
Key files, such as software versions and data configuration files, all support redundancy.
l Reliability
The system automatically detects and diagnoses faults in the software, hardware, and
environment, and reports alarms. Then the system automatically clears the faults using
self-healing measures. If the faults cannot be cleared, the faulty units will be
automatically isolated.
Hardware Reliability
l Overtemperature protection
When the temperature of the power amplifier (PA) in the BTS3911B crosses the threshold
for a major alarm, the BTS3911B automatically switches off the PA and stops providing
services. This protects the BTS3911B from damage caused by high temperatures.
l Reliable power supply
The BTS3911B uses the following techniques to achieve a reliable power supply:
Support for a wide-range of voltages as well as surge protection
Power failure protection for programs and data
l Protection of power supply against overvoltage and overcurrentSurge protection design
The BTS3911B adopts surge protection for the PoE power socket and RGPS clock port.
Software Reliability
l Redundancy
To ensure normal operation of a BTS3911B when errors occur in important files or data,
the BTS3911B provides the following redundancy functions:
Software version redundancy: The BTS3911B stores software versions, including the
BootROM version, in different partitions to provide redundancy. If the active version
is abnormal, the BTS3911B switches to the backup version.
Data configuration file redundancy: The BTS3911B stores data configuration files in
different partitions to provide redundancy. If the current file is damaged, the BTS3911B
can continue working properly by loading the backup file.
l Error tolerance capability
If software errors occur, the self-healing capability prevents the BTS3911Bs from collapse.
The software error tolerance capability covers the following aspects:
Scheduled checks of key resources: The BTS3911B checks software resource usage
and generates related logs and alarms. This allows the BTS3911B to release unavailable
resources.
Task monitoring: When software is running, the BTS3911B monitors the running status
of every task for errors and faults. If an error or fault is detected, an alarm is reported
and self-healing measures are taken to restore the task.
Data check: The BTS3911B performs scheduled or event-triggered data consistency
checks and restores data consistency selectively or preferentially. In addition, the
BTS3911B generates related logs and alarms.

BTS3911B
Watchdog: If a software error occurs in a BTS3911B, the BTS3911B detects the error using the
software and hardware watchdogs and automatically restarts.
