3900 Series Base Station Product Description 1 Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
To keep abreast of rapidly advancing mobile communications technologies, mobile operators
are continually seeking partners who provide cutting-edge technologies to set up high-quality,
multimode-enabled, and future-oriented mobile networks efficiently and cost-effectively.
With this aim in mind, Huawei developed 3900 series base stations, which are designed based
on a high-performance platform and use an optimized hardware and software architecture.
These base stations can work in multiple modes due to their cutting-edge modular design.
They also have broad bandwidth and are eco-friendly and easily upgradeable.
Specifically, 3900 series base stations use the newly developed power amplifiers (PAs),
provide the temperature control function, and employ the innovated power saving technique.
In addition, by adopting the cutting-edge modular design, 3900 series base stations use
multimode modules with different appearances to meet requirements in various conditions.
Thanks to all these merits of 3900 series base stations, mobile operators can set up
high-quality, multimode-enabled, and future-oriented mobile networks and capital
expenditure (CAPEX) on site acquisition, capacity expansion, and environment protection can
be greatly reduced.
Different types of 3900 series base stations can be delivered on request because the newly
designed modules and auxiliary devices can be flexibly combined and configured.
Figure 1-1 shows the different types of 3900 series base stations.
Issue 01 (2013-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 1

Figure 1-1 3900 series base station types
This document focuses on the BTS3900, BTS3900A, BTS3900L, BTS3900AL, BTS3900C, and
DBS3900 only. For a description of the other types of 3900 series base stations, see the product
description for the base station in question.
1.2 Benefits
Smooth Evolution
Upgrading from Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) to Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System (UMTS) and then to Long Term Evolution (LTE) is easy thanks
to the following factors:
 In SRAN7.0 or earlier: A BBU3900 is equipped with different boards, among which
some work in one mode and the others work in another mode. The BBU3900 can process
services for both of these modes. With two BBUs, the triple-mode application can be
achieved.

 In SRAN8.0: The GSM, UMTS, and LTE modes share one BBU3900.
 Developed with the Software-defined radio (SDR) technique, RF modules can work in
GU, GL, or UL dual-mode. SDR RF modules and single-mode RF modules can be
installed in the same cabinet to achieve multimode and multi-band applications.
Energy-Efficient and Eco-Friendly

Thanks to their small size and modular design, PAs do not take up much space in the
equipment room and power resources are saved with the new power-saving technique.
The following measures also help save energy:
 RF channels are blocked and PA voltage is adjusted if the downlink load reaches a preset
threshold.
 The power supply unit (PSU) shuts down if the base station is provided with sufficient
power.
 The temperature control function controls board temperature, outdoor cabinets use a
direct ventilation system, and RRUs adopt the natural heat dissipation mechanism.
Low CAPEX
In terms of the CAPEX for devices
 3900 series base stations use one set of multimode devices to support multimode
applications.
 An external reference clock and transmission resources are shared across modes on a
3900 series base station, reducing the CAPEX for transmission resources and external
clock sources.
 Various types of radio frequency (RF) modules are introduced, for example,
software-defined radio (SDR) RF modules supporting antenna-sharing, dual-transmitter
RF modules supporting the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, and
single-transmitter RF modules with high power and large capacity.
 The GU or GL refarming feature is introduced to facilitate the evolution from GSM to
UMTS, and LTE and eventually to save the CAPEX for evolution.
In terms of operation and maintenance (O&M), different modes on a single 3900 series base
station share the same auxiliary devices and are managed by the same network management
system, which greatly reduces O&M costs. The O&M manpower required is also reduced,
because 3900 series base stations are easy to install and maintain and it is easy to expand their
capacities.
High Transmission Reliability and High Board Performance

The following features are introduced to ensure high transmission reliability and high board
performance:
 Support for the Huawei SingleBTS platform
 Support for Co-Radio Resource Management (Co-RRM), Co-Transmission Resource
Management (Co-TRM), Co-Operation and Management (Co-OAM), and Co-Radio
Network Plan&Radio Network Optimization (Co-RNP&RNO)
 Support for route backup. Transmission paths can be switched over to protect
high-priority service data.
 Support for the backup of important boards and power modules

2.2 Basic Modules

3900 series base stations have a modular design. The basic modules are the baseband unit
(BBU) and radio frequency module which includes radio frequency unit (RFU), remote radio
unit (RRU), and active antenna system (AAS). The BBU uses common public radio interfaces
(CPRIs) and electrical or optical cables to communicate with the RFUs or RRUs.
2.2.1 BBU3900
As a baseband control unit, a BBU3900 provides the following functions:
 Centrally manages the entire base station, including operation and maintenance,
signaling processing, and the system clock.
 Processes uplink and downlink baseband signals.
 Provides physical ports, which are used to connect the base station to the transport
network for information exchange; a maintenance channel, which is used to connect the
BBU3900 to the operation and maintenance center (OMC); CPRI ports for
communication with RF modules; and ports for communication with environment
monitoring devices.
Figure 2-1 shows the slot layout of a BBU3900.

2.2.2 RFU
RFUs can be used in a macro base station. The RFU modulates and demodulates baseband
and RF signals, processes data, amplifies power, and conducts VSWR detection.
RFUs fall into the following three types:
 Multimode modules: MRFU, MRFUd, MRFUe
 GSM modules: GRFU, DRFU
 UMTS modules: WRFU, WRFUa, WRFUd, WRFUe
 LTE modules: CRFUd, CRFUe, LRFU, LRFUe
Figure 2-2 shows the appearance of an RFU.

2.8 DBS3900
The DBS3900 facilitates site acquisition as well as network planning and optimization, and
reduces network deployment time. It enables operators to efficiently deploy a
high-performance GSM/UMTS/LTE network with a low total cost of ownership (TCO) by
minimizing investment in electricity, space, and manpower.
The DBS3900 consists of BBU3900s and RRUs. The BBU3900 is characterized by its small
footprint, easy installation, and low power consumption. Therefore, the BBU3900 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 an antenna to reduce feeder loss and to improve system coverage.
 Typical installation scenario 1 for the DBS3900
DBS3900 outdoor site: if the AC power supply is provided, an APM30H
(Ver.B)/APM30H (Ver.C)/APM30H (Ver.D) is used; if +24 V DC power supply is
provided, an APM30H (Ver.B) is used; if –48 V DC power supply is provided, a
TMC11H (Ver.B)/TMC11H (Ver.C)/TMC11H (Ver.D) is used. See Figure 2-22.
Figure 2-22 Typical installation scenario 1 for the DBS3900

OMB (Ver.C) AC cabinet is used; if –48 V DC power supply is provided, an OMB
(Ver.C) DC cabinet is used. See Figure 2-23.

DBS3900 indoor site: if RRUs are installed remotely and the BBU and power
distribution unit are installed indoors on a wall, an IMB03 is used. See Figure 2-24.
DBS3900 indoor site: if RRUs must be installed in centralized mode, the L-shaped stand
can be used. See Figure 2-24.


DBS3900 indoor site: if RRUs are installed remotely, and the BBU and power
distribution unit are installed on a support on the floor of a room, a 19-inch open rack is
used. See Figure 2-25.

If RRUs need to be installed on the outdoor ground in centralized mode, an OPS-06 is used.
If the distance between the RRUs and BBU is too long, and no back power is required, AC
RRUs are used.AC RRUs are powered by the AC power equipment supplied by the customer.
When the AC RRUs are installed outdoors, each AC RRU needs to be configured with an
SPD, an AC surge protector.

The RHUB3908, which is 1 U in height, can be installed in a cabinet, rack, shelf, or on a wall.
The pRRU3901 can be installed on a wall or ceiling. In the LampSite solution, the base
station comprises the baseband unit (BBU), pico remote radio unit (pRRU), and RRU HUB
(RHUB). These modules can be flexibly combined to meet different scenario requirements.
Like the DBS3900, the LampSite uses the same type of BBU.
The RHUB3908 and pRRU3901 are compact and light, and therefore they can be installed
anywhere indoors. The RHUB3908, which is 1 U in height, can be installed in a cabinet, rack,
shelf, or on a wall. The pRRU3901 can be installed on a wall or ceiling.
In office buildings, BBUs are installed in an equipment room, and RHUBs and pRRUs are
installed in the office areas, as shown in Figure 2-48.

3900 Series Base Station Product Description 3 Logical Structure
3 Logical Structure
From the perspective of logical structure, 3900 series base stations consist of control
subsystem, transport subsystem, baseband subsystem, RF subsystem, clock subsystem, and
power and environment monitoring subsystem. Figure 3-1 shows the logical structure of 3900
series base stations.
Figure 3-1 Logical structure of 3900 series base stations
 Control subsystem (BTS CTL subsystem): controls and manages resources in a base
station. It provides the management plane interface between the base station and the
OMC, the control plane interface between the base station and other NEs, and the
interface for controlling and negotiating common devices in a multimode base station.
 Transport subsystem (BTS TRP subsystem): forwards data between the transport
network and the base station. It provides physical ports between the base station and the
transport network and the user plane interface between the base station and other NEs.

3900 Series Base Station Product Description 3 Logical Structure
 Baseband subsystem (BTS BB subsystem): processes uplink and downlink baseband

data.
 RF subsystem (BTS RF subsystem): transmits and receives radio signals. It provides
ports for data transmission between the antenna system and the base station.
 Clock subsystem (BTS TAS subsystem): synchronizes the base station clock with
external clock sources. It provides ports between the base station and external clock
sources.
 Power and environment monitoring subsystem (BTS MPE subsystem): provides power
supply, dissipates heat, and monitors the environment for a base station. It provides ports
between the base station and site devices.

3900 Series Base Station Product Description 4 Operation and Maintenance
4 Operation and Maintenance
4.1 Overview
3900 series base stations are managed by an O&M system using either MML commands or a
graphical user interface (GUI). This system is hardware-independent and provides
comprehensive functions to meet users' various O&M requirements.
4.2 O&M System Structure

Figure 4-1 shows the O&M system structure for 3900 series base stations with software of
SRAN7.0 or earlier.

Figure 4-1 O&M system structure for 3900 series base stations with software of SRAN7.0 or
earlier
For such base stations, the O&M system consists of the following:
 GBTS SMT: locally manages one GBTS. O&M personnel use network cables to connect
the PC running the GBTS SMT to the O&M port of the GBTS that the GBTS SMT will
manage.
 BSC LMT: remotely manages multiple GBTSs. O&M personnel use the BSC LMT to
remotely manage multiple GBTSs in a centralized manner.
 NodeB LMT: manages one NodeB. O&M personnel can use network cables to connect
the PC running the NodeB LMT to the O&M port of the NodeB that the NodeB LMT
will manage. Alternatively, O&M personnel can remotely manage a NodeB through
O&M channels by connecting the PC running the NodeB LMT to the NodeB.
 eNodeB LMT: manages one eNodeB. O&M personnel can use network cables to connect
the PC running the eNodeB LMT to the O&M port of the eNodeB that the eNodeB LMT
will manage. Alternatively, O&M personnel can remotely manage an eNodeB through
O&M channels by connecting the PC running the eNodeB LMT to the eNodeB.
