1.3 Working Principles and Functions of the BBU5900

A BBU is a baseband unit. It processes baseband signals of a base station.
Working Principle
A BBU consists of the following subsystems: baseband subsystem, power and mechanical
subsystem, transmission subsystem, interconnection subsystem, main control subsystem,
monitoring subsystem, and clock subsystem. Each subsystem consists of different modules, as
shown in the following figure.
Table 1-1 Components of the BBU

The following figure shows the working principle of a BBU.
Figure 1-5 Working principle of a BBU
Function
A BBU performs the following functions:
l Provides ports for connecting to the transmission equipment, RF modules, USB devicesa,
external reference clock, and LMT or U2020 to transmit signals, perform automatic base
station software upgrade, receive reference clock signals, and support maintenance on
the LMT or U2020.
l 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.

This section describes the BBU slot distribution and the principles for BBU slot assignment in
different modes.
1.5.1 Slot Distribution

This section describes BBU slot distribution.
A BBU has 11 slots. The following figure shows BBU slot distribution.
Figure 1-6 BBU slot distribution
Among slots 0 to 5, any two horizontally adjacent half-width slots can be reconstructed into a
full-width slot. The number of the full-width slot is the same as that of the half-width slot on
the left before the reconstruction.
The following table describes the general principles for BBU slot assignment. The specific
slot assignment of the main control board, satellite-card board, and baseband processing board
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.

A UMPT is a universal main processing and transmission unit.
The following figures show UMPT panels.

NOTE
On the lower left corner of a UMPT, there is a silkscreen indicating its type.

UMPTg2 TDD/NR TDD
a: Co-MPT multiple modes indicate any combination of all single modes in the second
column in the table.
b: The UMPTe supports only L*N co-MPT, and does not support other co-MPT multiple
modes that contain NR.
NOTE
For details about the specifications of the UMPT, see section "Technical Specifications of Main Control
and Transmission Boards" in BBU5900 Technical Specifications.
Function
A UMPT performs the following functions:
l Manages configurations and devices, monitors performance, and processes signaling of a
base station.
l Processes signaling and manages resources for other boards in the BBU.
l Provides USB ports, transmission ports, and a maintenance port, which are used for
signal transmission, automatic software upgrade, and LMT- or U2020-based BBU
maintenance.
Working Principle
The following figure shows the working principle of a UMPT.

YGE3 connector maximum transmission rate of 25,000 Mbit/s

BBU5900
UMPTb/ SMA connector The GPS port on the UMPTb1/UMPTe1 is

UMPTe: GPS reserved. The GNSS port on the UMPTg1 is
UMPTg: GNSS reserved.
Used for transmitting RF signals received from
the antenna to the GPS satellite card (GPS port
on the UMPTb2/UMPTe2).
Used for transmitting RF signals received from
the antenna to the satellite card (GNSS port on
the UMPTg2).
USBc USB connector Used for the software upgrade of a base station
using a USB flash drive. This port also
functions as a commissioning Ethernet portd.
CLK USB connector l Used for receiving TOD signals

l Used for transmitting clock signals for
testing
CIe SFP female Used for connecting to another BBU or a USU

connector
RST - Used for resetting the board
a and b: FE/GE electrical ports and FE/GE optical ports on a UMPT can be used at the
same time.
c: The security of a USB port is ensured by encryption, and a USB port can be disabled by
running commands.
d: 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.
e: 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.
l The possible reason for the DOWN status of CI port is that the optic fiber connected to
the CI port is removed or that the peer device is powered off.
l Transmission-related alarms include SCTP Link Fault, IP Address Conflict, and IP
Excessive Frame Error Rate.
