Functions
The functions of the MRFUe are as follows: l Modulates and converts the signals to the TX band by up-converting the intermediate frequency (IF) signals, filters and amplifies the signals or combines the signals, and then transmits the signals to the antenna through the duplexer. Receives RF signals from the antenna system, down-converts the signals to IF signals, and performs amplification, analog-to-digital conversion, digital down-conversion, matched filtering, and digital automatic gain control (DAGC), and then transmits the signals to the BBU for further processing. Performs power control. Provides Voltage Standing Wave Ration (VSWR) detection. Supplies power to the TMA and controls the RET antenna. Controls Digital Predistortion (DPD) based on feedback signals. Generates the CPRI clock, recovers the CPRI clock from loss of synchronization, and detects alarms.

3.2 RRU
The Radio Remote Unit (RRU) converts and forwards signals between the BBU and the antenna system. The RRU implements the following functions:
3 BTS3900AL Modules
l l
Receives downlink baseband data from the BBU and sends uplink baseband data for the communication between the BBU and the RRU. The RX channel receives RF signals from the antenna system, down-converts the received signals to IF signals, amplifies the IF signals, and performs analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion. The TX channel filters downlink signals, performs digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion, and up-converts RF signals to the TX band. Multiplexes RX and TX signals, which enables these signals to share the same antenna path. It also filters the RX and TX signals.
For details about various types of RRUs, see the hardware description of the corresponding RRU.

The BBU3900 is a baseband processing unit. It processes the baseband signals of the base station. The BBU3900 performs the following functions: l l l l l l l Provides ports for communication between the base station and the BSC or RNC. Provides CPRI ports for communication between the BBU and the RFUs. Provides USB(1) ports. A USB flash drive that stores required software and configuration data can be inserted into the USB port to perform the automatic base station upgrade. Provides an OM channel between the base station and the LMT or the M2000 to operate and maintain the base station. Processes uplink and downlink data. Manages the entire dual-mode system in terms of OM and signaling processing. Provides the system clock.
NOTE
(1) The security of the USB port is ensured by encryption. The TST port is used for commissioning the base station rather than importing or exporting the base station configuration.

Functions
The UPEU performs the following functions: l l Converts -48 V DC or +24 V DC power into +12 V DC power, which is the operating voltage of the boards. Provides two ports with each receiving one RS485 signal and another two ports with each receiving four Boolean signals. The Boolean signals can only be dry contact or Open Collector (OC) signals.
Table 3-76 describes the specifications. Table 3-76 Specifications Board UPEUa UPEUc Output Power The output power of a UPEUa is 300 W. The output power of a UPEUc is 360 W, and the output power of two UPEUc boards is 650 W. The output power of a UPEUd is 650 W. Backup Mode 1+1 backup 1+1 backup

NOTE
After the UPEUa is replaced by the UPEUc, the UPEU power consumption data monitored by the M2000 will change. The power consumption data does not only depend on the output power but also on the data collection method. The UPEUc and UPEUa use different methods for collecting power consumption data. Therefore, the decrease in the power consumption shown in the M2000 after the UPEUa is replaced by the UPEUc does not necessarily reflect the actual decrease of power consumption.

4.2 Power Distribution for BTS3900AL Cabinets

This section describes power distribution schemes for BTS3900AL cabinets.
Power Distribution Scheme for a BTS3900AL AC Cabinet

If a BTS3900AL AC cabinet is supplied with 220 V AC or 110 V AC power, the input AC power is converted into DC power by the PDU05A and ETP in the BTS3900AL AC cabinet. The DC power is then distributed by the DCDU-11C, DCDU-11B/DCDU-03B, and DCDU-11A to all boards in the cabinet. After going through the PDU05A, the AC power input is divided into five AC power outputs: l l One AC power output is connected to the junction box on the right of the cabinet door, and divided into four AC power outputs, which are then provided for the HAU. Three AC power outputs are connected to the PSUs and converted by the PSUs into DC power outputs, which are then provided for the DCDU-11C, DCDU-11B/DCDU-03B, DCDU-11A, and storage batteries. One AC power output is provided for the SOU.
Figure 4-1 shows the power distribution scheme for a cabinet supplied with 220 V AC threephase input power and configured with the DCDU-11B. Figure 4-2 shows the power distribution scheme for a cabinet supplied with 220 V AC three-phase input power and configured with the DCDU-03B. Table 4-2 lists the specifications of circuit breakers. The power distribution scheme for a cabinet supplied with 220 V AC single-phase or 110 V AC dual-live-wire input power is the same as the power distribution scheme for a cabinet supplied with 220 V AC three-phase input power. The difference between the power distribution schemes for the three types of power inputs resides in the configuration of short-circuiting bars, as shown in Figure 4-3.

5.1 Principles for Monitoring a BTS3900AL Cabinet

A BTS3900AL cabinet is monitored by the CCU, CMUF, and PMU boards. These boards collect alarms from sensors and fans, and transmit the alarms to the MON port on the BBU using the RS485 serial bus.
Cabinet Monitoring Principles of a Single- or Dual-Mode Base Station

A single- or dual-mode is configured with only one BBU, which is installed in a BTS3900AL AC cabinet. Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2 show the principles for monitoring a BTS3900AL cabinet.
NOTE
The devices monitored by the CCU, CMUF, and PMU boards are not shown in the figures. For details about the monitored devices, see the description of the boards. For EMUA monitoring, see 5.2 Principles of Customized Alarm Input. l l l l l For the functions of the ports on the CMUF, see 5.3.2 CMUF. For the functions of the ports on the PMU, see 5.3.3 PMU. For the functions of the ports on the CCU, see 5.3.1 CCU. For the positions of the CCU, CMUF, and PMU in a cabinet, see 2.2 Interior of the BTS3900AL Cabinet. If a BBU is configured with either two UPEUs or one UPEU and one UEIU, the CCU can be connected to the MON0 port on one of the boards and the MON0 port on the other board must not be used. The MON1 ports cannot be connected to the CCU.

Figure 5-2 Principles for monitoring the BTS3900AL (one BTS3900AL AC cabinet, one BTS3900AL DC cabinet, and one IBBS700D/IBBS700T cabinet)
NOTE
l If a device is not configured at a site, the monitoring signal cable is directly connected to the lowerlevel device. For example, if the HAU0 and HAU1 shown in Figure 5-1 are not configured, you can directly connect the RS485 port on the EMUA to the CCU using the monitoring signal cable. l If a cabinet is not configured at a site, the monitoring signal cable is directly connected to the lowerlevel cabinet. For example, if BTS3900AL DC cabinet No.0 shown in Figure 5-1 is not configured, you can directly connect the FE_L port on the CCU in the IBBS700D/IBBS700T cabinet No.0 to the FE_R port on the CCU in the BTS3900AL AC cabinet No.0 using the inter-CCU signal cable. l All monitoring signal cables inside cabinets have been installed before delivery. Only the monitoring signal cables between cabinets need to be installed onsite. For details about the connections of all monitoring signal cables in a cabinet, see 7.3.4 Monitoring Signal Cable Connections.
Cabinet Monitoring Principles of a Triple-Mode Base Station

A triple-mode base station is configured with two BBUs, which are installed in a BTS3900AL AC cabinet. Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4 show the principles for monitoring a BTS3900AL cabinet.
NOTE
When two BBUs in a base station are interconnected to achieve the GSM, UMTS, and LTE modes, BBU0 is the root BBU and BBU1 is the leaf BBU.

5.2 Principles of Customized Alarm Input

If customer devices need to be monitored by BBUs, customized alarms for the devices must be reported to the BBUs.
Customized alarms are reported to the BBU by any of the following methods: l The alarms are collected by the UPEU/UEIU in the BBU. UPEU is short for Universal Power and Environment Interface Unit, and UEIU is short for Universal Environment Interface Unit. The alarms are collected by the EMUA. For details about software configurations, see the related initial configuration guide. EMUA is short for environment monitoring unit type A.
Monitoring Board Configuration

If customer devices need to be monitored by BBUs, customized alarms for the devices must be reported to the BBUs. The types of monitoring boards configured in a BTS3900AL cabinet depend on the number of customized alarm inputs, as listed in Table 5-1. Table 5-1 Monitoring board configuration Number of Customized Alarm Inputs None 1 to 16 17 to 32 Type of Monitoring Board Required UPEU UPEU+UEIU UPEU+UEIU+EMUA
NOTE
l l l
If backup power is required for BBUs, configure two UPEUs instead of configuring UPEU+UEIU. Analog values can be monitored only by the EMUA. Two USLP2s and one SLPU are delivered in a package.
Using the UPEU or UEIU to Collect Customized Alarms

Each UPEU or UEIU in a BBU supports eight Boolean alarm inputs. A maximum of two UPEUs or UPEU+UEIU can be configured in a BBU to support 16 Boolean alarm inputs. When 16 customized alarm inputs or less are configured, use the UPEU or UEIU to collect customized alarms. When using the UPEU or UEIU to collect customized alarms, connect the device to be monitored to USLP2s for surge protection and then to the EXT_ALM ports on BBUs, as shown in Figure 5-5. Figure 5-5 Using the UPEU or UEIU to collect customized alarms

Customized alarm signals are transmitted to the IN0 to IN3 ports on the USLP2 in the SLPU and then transferred to the EXT_ALM port on the UPEU or EUIU using the BBU alarm cable. Table 5-2 describes the relationships between the IN0 to IN3 ports and the number of customized alarm inputs. Table 5-2 Relationships between the IN0 to IN3 ports on the USLP2 and the number of customized alarm inputs Pin of an IN Port 1 2 3 4 USLP2 in the Upper Slot IN0 4+ 4(GND) 6(GND) 6+ IN1 5+ 5(GND) 7+ 7(GND) IN2 0+ 0(GND) 2(GND) 2+ IN3 1+ 1(GND) 3+ 3(GND) USLP2 in the Lower Slot IN0 12+ 12(GND) 14(GND) 14+ IN1 13+ 13(GND) 15+ 15(GND) IN2 8+ 8(GND) 10(GND) 10+ IN3 9+ 9(GND) 11+ 11(GND)
For details about ports on the USLP2, see 3.5.3 USLP2. For details about the wire sequence of the BBU alarm cable, see 7.9.2 BBU Alarm Cable.
NOTE
The SLPU is configured with two USLP2s by default before delivery when it is used as an alarm signal protection unit. If a BBU is configured with one UPEU, the UPEU must be installed only in the lower slot. In this case, the USLP2 in slot 2 of the SLPU is not used.
Using the EMUA to Collect Customized Alarms

The EMUA can be configured for a site that requires more than 16 Boolean alarm inputs. Each EMUA supports 32 Boolean alarm inputs and two RS485 signal inputs. Customized alarms are transmitted to the EMUA and reported to the CCU. Then, the CCU transfers the alarms to the BBU through an MON port. Figure 5-6 shows the cable connections.

7.3.2 Transmission Cable Connections

The BTS3900AL supports four modes: GSM only, UMTS only, GSM+UMTS with cotransmission, and GSM+UMTS with separate transmission. Board configurations and transmission cable connections vary according to these modes.
Transmission Cable Connections for a Single-Mode Base Station

In GSM only, UMTS only, or LTE only mode, use the E1/T1 cable, FE/GE cable, or optical cable to transmit data. This section describes transmission cable connections for each mode.
Configuration Principles
l l l l In LTE only mode, use preferentially the FE/GE optical cable to transmit data. The E1/T1 cable is firstly connected to the T1 port on the UELP of the SLPU. After the surge protection, the E1/T1 cable is led from the T2 port on the UELP. The FE/GE cable is firstly connected to the T1 port on the UFLP of the SLPU. After the surge protection, the FE/GE cable is led from the T2 port on the UFLP. The FE/GE optical cable does not require surge protection, and therefore it is not connected to the SLPU.

Transmission Cable Connections for a Triple-Mode Base Station

This section describes the transmission cable connections for a triple-mode base station. In this document, the two BBUs are described as BBU0 and BBU1 for better understanding. l l l In an expanded base station, BBU0 is the BBU installed during the initial site construction, and BBU1 is the BBU installed during the capacity expansion. In a new base station, BBU0 is the BBU working in GSM+UMTS or GSM+LTE mode, and BBU1 is the BBU working in LTE Only or UMTS Only mode. The difference between the GL+UO scenario and UO+GL scenario is as follows: the GL +UO scenario is applicable to both an expanded base station and a new base station, while the UO+GL scenario is applicable only to an expanded base station.
