1 Introduction
1.1 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
UMTS to HSPA to HSPA+ and LTE. 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 merging of multiple network systems into a more cost-effective
one.
Customer-oriented and innovative, Huawei spares no effort in developing the distributed base
stations and unveils cutting-edge techniques in this field. The industry-leading distributed
base station — DBS3900 GSM (hereafter referred to as DBS3900) developed by Huawei
aims at constructing future-oriented networks for operators. With only two basic functional
modules, the DBS3900 features compact structure, high integration, low power consumption,
easy installation, and quick deployment. Through flexible combinations of the functional
modules, the DBS3900 is adaptable to diversified scenarios with different capacity
requirements.
Figure 1-1 shows the typical application of the DBS3900.
1.2 Benifits
Simple Structure and Quick Network Deployment
The DBS3900 has only two types of basic functional modules, thus greatly reducing the
investment in spare parts and maintenance. With the excellent environment adaptability, the
basic modules can be flexibly combined according to the actual site conditions to achieve
efficient site deployment, posing no requirement for an equipment room. That is, there is no
additional cost of equipment room construction. In addition, the DBS3900 enables the
modules for multiple network modes to share the transmission system and network
management system, thus achieving the merging of multiple network modes.
2 Architecture
2.1 General
Based on the advanced concept of distributed installation, the DBS3900 adopts a modular
design, in which there are only two types of basic functional modules, namely the baseband
control unit BBU3900 and the Remote Radio Unit (RRU). The BBU3900 and the RRU are
connected through the CPRI ports and optical cables for signal transmission, realizing the
distributed installation for modules.
Dispensing with the centralized installation mode adopted for the traditional BTS, the
DBS3900 ushered in a new installation mode under which the installation positions of the
functional modules are no longer subject to the cabinet. Thanks to the installation flexibility,
the DBS3900 can well address the operators' requirements of quick site acquisition and
network construction.
2.2 BBU3900
The BBU3900, a baseband control unit, is responsible for the interaction between the BTS
and the BSC. The BBU3900 mainly functions as follows:
l Performs signal interaction between the BTS and the BSC
l Provides the system clock
l Manages the entire BTS system in terms of Operation and Maintenance (OM) and
signaling processing
l Provides an OM channel connected to the LMT (or M2000)
The BBU3900 modules can be installed in stack mode to achieve a higher processing
capability.
The following boards and modules are mandatory for the BBU3900:
l Main control board (GTMU)
l FAN unit (UBFA)
l Power module (UPEU)
The optional boards of the BBU3900 are the Universal E1/T1 Lightning Protection Unit
(UELP) and the Universal Environment Interface Unit (UEIU). Figure 2-2 shows the panel of
the BBU3900.
2.3 RRU
The RRU mainly performs the following functions:
ANT_TX/RXB 1
EXT_ALM 1 Alarm port
Table 2-4 describes the buttons and wiring terminals of the RRU3004.

2.4.1 APM30
The APM30 provides –48 V DC power and backup power for the outdoor macro BTS. In
addition, it provides installation space for the BBU3900 and other user equipment. The
APM30 has a compact and lightweight design. The 24 Ah batteries can be installed in the
APM30 cabinet. The breathable film and fans in the APM30 are separately installed for heat
dissipation. The APM30H cabinet whose heat dissipation is based on the heat exchanger and
two fans for inner and outer air circulation can be used in areas with poor air quality. Figure
2-5 shows the internal structure of the APM30/APM30H.

2.4.2 BBC
The BBC is installed if long-time power backup is required. Small sized and easy to transport,
the BBC is adaptable to outdoor environments. In addition, the BBC can dissipate heat in
direct-ventilation mode.
The BBC provides a maximum DC backup power of –48 V 184 Ah through the built-in
batteries. Figure 2-6 shows the internal structure of the BBC.
2.4.3 TMC
The TMC is configured if more transmission space is required. Small sized and easy to
transport, the TMC is adaptable to outdoor environments. The TMC dissipates heat through
the breathable film and fans. The BBU3900 can be installed in the TMC.
The TMC provides a space of 11 U for the user equipment. Figure 2-7 shows the internal
structure of the TMC.
2.5 Reliability
2.5.1 System Reliability
The system reliability of the BBU3900 and RRU consists in the following aspects:
l The RRU supports soft reset. In a chain or tree topology, the reset of an upper-level RRU
does not affect the lower-level RRU when the reset is caused by reasons other than
power-off. These topologies can improve system reliability.
l The BBU3900 and RRUs can also form a ring topology. When a 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 2-8 shows the ring topology of BBU3900 and RRUs.
severity. When the ambient temperature is restored, the system automatically disables the
overtemperature protection function.
