This is the document for the first commercial release of SRAN7.0.
Compared with issue Draft A (2012-02-15) of SRAN7.0, issue 01 (2012-04-30) has no change.
Draft A (2012-02-15)
This is a draft and was newly added to the SRAN7.0 documentation.
This document is excerpted from Common Clock Feature Parameter Description for eRAN and
chapter 2 "Common Clock" of Synchronization Feature Parameter Description for SingleRAN.
Compared with issue 01 (2011-03-30) of SRAN6.0 and issue 01 (2011-09-15) of eRAN2.2, this
issue incorporates the changes described in the following table.
2 Overview
With the Common Clock feature, all the modes of an MBTS share a clock source and only one
set of clock equipment is required.
The Common Clock feature applies to GU, GL, or UL dual-mode and GUL triple-mode base
stations where the BBU Interconnection feature is applied. The Common Clock feature helps
reduce operating expense (OPEX) and capital expenditure (CAPEX).
GU stands for GSM and UMTS; GL stands for GSM and LTE; UL stands for UMTS and LTE;
GUL stands for GSM, UMTS, and LTE.
In a dual-mode base station, two modes exchange data using the BBU backplane and share a
clock source. In a triple-mode base station, two BBUs are required and two UCIU or UTRPc
boards must be used to apply the BBU Interconnection feature. This is because main control
boards cannot be interconnected across BBUs. With BBU Interconnection, three modes of the
triple-mode base station can share a clock source.
This feature has the following feature IDs in the BTS, NodeB, and eNodeB solutions:
l MRFD-211601 Multi-Mode BS Common Reference Clock (BTS)
l MRFD-221601 Multi-Mode BS Common Reference Clock (NodeB)
l MRFD-231601 Multi-mode BS Common Reference Clock (eNodeB)
As shown in Figure 3-1, Figure 3-2, and Figure 3-3, the USCU board in a dual-mode base
station receives GPS or BITS clock signals from its antenna or BITS port and forwards them to
the two main control boards in the base station. GPS stands for Global Positioning System and
BITS stands for building integrated timing supply.
As shown in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5, only one mode of a GUL triple-mode base station is
configured with a GPS or BITS clock source. Further, the mode forwards the received GPS or
BITS clock signals to the other two modes. Therefore, only one set of external clock equipment
or one GPS antenna system is required.
As shown in Figure 3-4, BBU Interconnection is activated on a GUL triple-mode base station.
The USCU board receives GPS or BITS clock signals from its antenna or BITS port and forwards
them to the GTMU and LMPT boards. Upon receiving the clock signals, the GTMU board
forwards them to the UCIU board. This UCIU board then sends the clock signals to the UMPT
board, which receives them through its BBU interconnection port.
As shown in Figure 3-5, BBU Interconnection is also activated on a GUL triple-mode base
station. The USCU board receives GPS or BITS clock signals from its antenna or BITS port and
forwards them to the UMPT board, which in turn sends them to the UCIU board through its
BBU interconnect port. This UCIU board then sends the clock signals to the GTMU and LMPT
boards.

base station

base station
As shown in Figure 4-1, Figure 4-2, and Figure 4-3, one main control board serving one mode
obtains E1/T1 clock signals from the transport network using an E1/T1 link and the other main
control board serving another mode obtains the clock signals using the BBU backplane.
As shown in Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-5, one mode of a GUL triple-mode base station is
configured with an E1/T1 clock source, which is then shared by the other two modes.
As shown in Figure 4-4, BBU Interconnection is activated on a GUL triple-mode base station.
The GTMU board receives E1/T1 clock signals from the transport network using an E1/T1 link
and forwards them to the LMPT and UCIU boards. Upon receiving the clock signals, the UCIU
board sends them to the UMPT board, which receives them from its BBU interconnection port.
As shown in Figure 4-5, BBU Interconnection is also activated on a GUL triple-mode base
station. The UMPT board receives E1/T1 clock signals from the transport network using an E1/
T1 link and forwards them to the UCIU board. Upon receiving the clock signals, the UCIU board
sends them to the GTMU and LMPT boards.

Table 4-1 provides the typical application scenarios for a common E1/T1 reference clock.
Table 4-1 Typical application scenarios for a common E1/T1 reference clock
Deployment Scenario Description
Common E1/T1 reference clock on the Abis When TDM over E1/T1 is used over the Abis
interface interface and IP over FE/GE is used over the
Iub or S1 interface, the NodeB or eNodeB can
obtain E1/T1 clock signals from an E1/T1
link over the Abis interface.
As shown in Figure 5-1, Figure 5-2, and Figure 5-3, one main control board serving a mode
is connected to the transport network using an FE/GE port. The board is configured with an
IEEE1588 V2 clock client through which the board obtains clock signals from an IEEE1588 V2
clock server. The oscillator in the board synchronizes clock signals with the IEEE1588 V2 clock
server and transmits the synchronized 1 pulse per second (PPS) clock signals to the other main
control board serving another mode. With this solution, only one IEEE1588 V2 clock client is
required, reducing the CAPEX. FE stands for fast Ethernet and GE stands for gigabit Ethernet.
As shown in Figure 5-4 and Figure 5-5, one mode of a GUL triple-mode base station is
configured with an IEEE1588 V2 clock source, which is then shared by the other two modes.
As shown in Figure 5-4, BBU Interconnection is activated on a GUL triple-mode base station.
The LMPT board is configured with an IEEE1588 V2 clock client and receives IEEE1588 V2
clock packets containing clock signals from an IEEE1588 V2 clock server through the transport
network. Then, the LMPT board exports synchronized 1 PPS clock signals and forwards them
to the GTMU and UCIU boards. Upon receiving the synchronized 1 PPS clock signals, the UCIU
board sends them to the UMPT board.
As shown in Figure 5-5, BBU Interconnection is also activated on a GUL triple-mode base
station. The UMPT board is configured with an IEEE1588 V2 clock client and receives
IEEE1588 V2 clock packets containing clock signals from an IEEE1588 V2 clock server through
the transport network. Then, the UMPT board exports synchronized 1 PPS clock signals and
forwards them to the UCIU board, which in turn forwards them to the GTMU and WMPT boards.
Transmission port cabling on an MBTS and the cabling of a common IEEE1588 V2 reference
clock are independently deployed. Therefore, there is no impact on the operation of the MBTS.

base station

mode base station
l The MBTS does not support the multicast IEEE1588 V2 clock when the MBTS uses co-
transmission, which is achieved by interconnecting FE ports. The clock signal
synchronization can be achieved using a common IEEE1588 V2 reference clock.
l When the eNodeB shares the clock source with the BTS and NodeB, clock signals are not
transmitted through tunnels on the backplanes.
l When main control boards of the BTS, NodeB, and eNodeB communicate with each other
using backplanes, tunnels must be configured for each main control board to connect to the
peer main control board. The main control board of the BTS, NodeB, or eNodeB manages
its tunnels independently. Tunnel numbers are unique for the BTS, NodeB, or eNodeB, but
can be the same among the BTS, NodeB, and eNodeB.
Table 5-1 provides the typical application scenarios for a common IEEE1588 V2 reference
clock.

Deployment Scenario Description
Common IEEE1588 V2 reference clock on When the Abis and Iub interfaces use IP-
the Iub interface based co-transmission and the NodeB of an
MBTS is configured with an IEEE1588 V2
clock source, the BTS can obtain clock
signals from the WMPT or UMPTa1 board in
the NodeB using the BBU backplane.
Common IEEE1588 V2 reference clock on When the Abis or Iub interface and the S1
the S1 interface interface use the IP transmission scheme and
the eNodeB of an MBTS is configured with
an IEEE1588 V2 clock source, the BTS or
NodeB can obtain clock signals from the
LMPT or UMPTa2 board in the eNodeB
using the BBU backplane.
As shown in Figure 6-1, Figure 6-2, and Figure 6-3, to implement a common synchronous
Ethernet reference clock, one mode of a dual-mode base station must be connected to the
transport network using its FE/GE port and the IP network must support the reference clock.
After this, the other mode of the base station can receive clock signals from the previously
mentioned mode using the BBU backplane.

configured with a synchronous Ethernet clock source, which is then shared by the other two
modes.
As shown in Figure 6-4, BBU Interconnection is activated on a GUL triple-mode base station.
The WMPT board receives synchronous Ethernet clock signals from the transport network using
an FE link and forwards them to the GTMU and UCIU boards. Upon receiving the clock signals,
the UCIU board sends them to the UMPT board.
As shown in Figure 6-5, BBU Interconnection is also activated on a GUL triple-mode base
station. The UMPT board receives synchronous Ethernet clock signals from the transport
network using a GE link and forwards them to the UCIU board. Upon receiving the clock signals,
the UCIU board sends them to the GTMU and WMPT boards.

transmission, the NodeB is configured with a
synchronous Ethernet clock source, and the
IP network supports Ethernet clock
synchronization.

board in the eNodeB using the BBU
backplane when the Abis or lub interface and
the S1 interface use IP-based co-
transmission, the eNodeB is configured with
a synchronous Ethernet clock source, and the
IP network supports Ethernet clock
synchronization.
7 Engineering Guidelines
l Whether the dual-mode base station is configured with a GPS antenna system or can obtain
clock signals from a BITS clock source
l Transmission scheme used by the base station
NOTE
If the base station is configured with a GPS antenna system or can obtainclock signals from a BITS clock
source, it is recommended that two modes of the base station share a GPS or BITS reference clock.
If one mode of the base station uses the E1/T1 transmission scheme while the other mode uses the FE/GE
transmission scheme, it is recommended that the two modes share an E1/T1 reference clock. If the FE/GE
transmission scheme can work with the synchronous Ethernet technology, the two modes can alternatively
share a synchronous Ethernet reference clock.
If the two modes use the FE/GE transmission scheme, check whether synchronous Ethernet is
supported. If yes, sharing a synchronous Ethernet reference clock is recommended. If no, sharing
an IEEE1588 V2 reference clock is recommended.

7.2.6 Troubleshooting
If the following alarm is generated, a clock reference type configuration conflict occurs. Then,
you must check the configuration file and correct related configurations.
NOTE
If the base station is configured with a GPS antenna system or can obtainclock signals from a BITS clock
source, it is recommended that two modes of the base station share a GPS or BITS reference clock.
If one mode of the base station uses the E1/T1 transmission scheme while the other mode uses the FE/GE
transmission scheme, it is recommended that the two modes share an E1/T1 reference clock. If the FE/GE
transmission scheme can work with the synchronous Ethernet technology, the two modes can alternatively
share a synchronous Ethernet reference clock.
If the two modes use the FE/GE transmission scheme, check whether synchronous Ethernet is supported.
If yes, sharing a synchronous Ethernet reference clock is recommended. If no, sharing an IEEE1588 V2
reference clock is recommended.

If the following alarm is generated, a clock reference type configuration conflict occurs. Then,
you must check the configuration file and correct related configurations.
8 Parameters
transmission. If
this parameter is
set to
TRCGPS_CLK,
the BTS extracts
the
synchronization
clock from the
GPS using the
DGPS or USCU.
If this parameter
is set to
UM_CLK, the
BTS keeps pace
with the signals
broadcast on the
downlink main
BCCH of a
neighboring
BTS. If this
parameter is set
to PEER_CLK,
the multimode
BTS(GSM)
keeps pace with
the signals that
the other mode
offer. If this
parameter is set
to
SYNETH_CLK
, the multimode
BTS(GSM)
keeps pace with
the SynEth
Clock. If the
BTS does not
support the
clock source
type specified
by "ClkType",
the value of
"ClkType"
cannot take
effect on the
BTS. As a result,
the initialization
fails after the
BTS resets.
