1.3 Working Principles and Functions of the BBU5900A

A BBU is a baseband unit. It provides the base station control, network
transmission, baseband processing, and clock synchronization functions.
Working Principle
A BBU consists of the following subsystems: power and mechanical subsystem,
main control subsystem, baseband subsystem, transmission subsystem,
interconnection subsystem, clock subsystem, and monitoring subsystem. Each
subsystem consists of different modules, as shown in the following table.

The following figure shows the working principle of a BBU.
Figure 1-4 Working principle of a BBU
Function
A BBU performs the following functions:
● Provides ports for connecting to the transmission equipment, RF modules,

USB devicesa, external reference clock, and LMT or MAE to transmit signals,
perform automatic base station software upgrade, receive reference clock
signals, and support maintenance on the LMT or MAE.

BBU5900A
● Manages the entire base station system. The management involves uplink
and downlink data processing, signaling processing, resource management,
and operation and maintenance.
NOTE
a: The security of the USB loading port is ensured by encryption, and the USB loading port
can be shut down using commands. The USB commissioning port is used for commissioning
the base station rather than configuring and exporting information of the base station.

1.6 BBU5900A Slot Assignment

This section describes the BBU slot distribution and the principles for BBU slot
assignment in different modes.
The symbols used in this document are described as follows:
● The ampersand (&) indicates separate-MPT. For example, the G&U (shortened
to GU) base station is a separate-MPT GSM and UMTS dual-mode base
station. In a GU base station, one BBU is configured with two main control
boards, of which one works in GSM mode and the other works in UMTS
mode.
● The asterisk (*) indicates co-MPT. For example, the G*U base station is a co-
MPT GSM and UMTS dual-mode base station. In a G*U base station, one
main control board in a BBU can work in GSM and UMTS modes.
● The plus sign (+) indicates BBU interconnection. For example, a GU+L base
station is configured with two BBUs, of which one works in GU mode and the
other works in LTE FDD mode.
1.6.1 Slot Distribution

This section describes BBU5900A slot distribution.
The BBU5900A provides eight slots for BBU boards and fans. The following figure
shows BBU5900A slot distribution.

BBU5900A
Figure 1-5 BBU5900A slot distribution
In any scenario, the power supply board, inner air circulation fan, outer air
circulation fan, power surge protection module, and environment control board
are always configured in the corresponding slots in the BBU5900A. Table 1-11
describes their configuration principles in the BBU5900A (AC). Table 1-12
describes their configuration principles in the BBU5900A (DC). The specific slot
assignment of the main control board and baseband processing unit depends on
the mode or modes supported by the base station. For details, see the principles
for BBU slot assignment in base stations of different modes.

1.6.12 BBU Slot Assignment in Quadruple-Mode Base Stations

This section describes the principles for BBU slot assignment in quadruple-mode
base stations.
NOTE
● "G" is short for GSM, "U" for UMTS, "L" for LTE FDD, "T" for LTE TDD, "M" for LTE NB-
IoT, and "N" for NR.
● The BBU slot assignment in an LTE NB-IoT base station is the same as that in an LTE
FDD base station. This section uses the BBU slot assignment in an LTE FDD base station
as an example.
The following table describes the principles for BBU slot assignment in quadruple-
mode base stations.

b: The UMPTe supports only L*N co-MPT, and does not support other co-MPT
multiple modes that contain NR.
c: In high-frequency NR scenarios, it is recommended that the UMPTg be used
as the main control board.
NOTE
For details about UMPT specifications, see section Technical Specifications of Main Control
Boards in BBU Technical Specifications.
Function
A UMPT performs the following functions:
● Manages configurations and devices, monitors performance, and processes

signaling of a base station.
● Processes signaling and manages resources for other boards in the BBU.
● Provides USB ports, transmission ports, and a maintenance port, which are
used for signal transmission, automatic software upgrade, and LMT- or MAE-
based BBU maintenance.

NOTE
● Electrical signal transmission ports and optical signal transmission ports on a UMPT can
be used at the same time.
● The security of a USB port is ensured by encryption, and a USB port can be disabled by
running commands.
● When the USB port functions as a commissioning Ethernet port, ensure that an OM port
has been enabled and the user has obtained required authorities for accessing the base
station through the OM port.
● When the status of the CI port on the UMPTe/UMPTg board is switched to DOWN, the
transmission bearing configuration is deleted. In this case, the base station does not
report transmission-related alarms because no transmission bearing configuration is
available.
● The possible reason for the DOWN status of the CI port is that the optical fiber
connected to the CI port is removed or that the peer device is powered off.
● Transmission-related alarms include SCTP Link Fault, IP Address Conflict, and IP
Excessive Frame Error Rate.
