6 Reliability
6.1 System Reliability

The BTS3900 improves the system reliability by adopting the design of load sharing
and redundancy configuration, and optimizing the technique of detecting/isolating the
faults on the board and in the system.
l Redundancy configuration
The transmission, power supply, and fan units in the system support redundancy
configuration, and the BBU supports load sharing.
The BBU and DRFUs/GRFUs form a ring. When a DRFU/GRFU in the ring fails,
anticlockwise switchover is performed; thus greatly improving the system
reliability.
Crucial system data such as software releases and data configuration files, is
backed up to ensure the normal system operation in case of data corruption.
l Reliability
The BTS3900 system can automatically detect and diagnose the faults in the
software and hardware, and reports the fault alarms. In addition, the BTS3900
can monitor the environment and report environment alarms.
6.2 Hardware Reliability

l Overcurrent protection
The power system of the BBU and DRFU/GRFU is protected against overcurrent,
improper insertion, and inverse insertion.
l Overtemperature protection
The BBU and DRFU/GRFU are protected against high temperature. When the
internal temperature is high, the system automatically performs power derating or
switches off the power amplifier based on the current temperature. When the
temperature reverts to the normal value, the system increases the power level or
switches on the power amplifier.
l Monitoring mechanism
The BBU can monitor the environment and report alarms.
l Stable power supply

Product Description
− Provides a wide range of input voltages and surge protection

− Protects the programs and data of the system in case of power failure
− Protects the board against overvoltage, overcurrent, and reverse connection
of positive and negative poles
l Perfect surge protection

measures are taken for the AC/DC ports, input/output signal ports of the cabinet
(E1 port and Boolean port), antenna port, and GPS port.
6.3 Software Reliability

Software reliability is guaranteed through data redundancy and powerful error
tolerance.
6.3.1 Data Redundancy

Important files, such as software releases and configuration files, and crucial system
data are backed up to ensure the normal system operation in case of data corruption.
l Redundancy of software releases
The system backs up the software releases, including the BOOTROM, in different
partitions. When a software release is faulty, the backup release can be used.
l Redundancy of data configuration files
The system backs up the data configuration files in different partitions. When the
running data configuration files are corrupted, the backup data configuration files
can be used.
l Redundancy of the operation logs
The system records the user operations in a certain period and backs up the
information in the operation logs. When the system incurs an unknown error, the
maintenance personnel can locate the problem by tracing back to the normal
status, or perform the data restoration.
6.3.2 Error Tolerance

The error-tolerance ability prevents the system crash due to the software error. That is,
the system has the self-healing ability. The capabilities of the software in error
tolerance are as follows:
l Scheduled detection on the crucial resources
Usage check is performed on the software in the system to release the
suspended software resources, and generate logs and alarms.
l Task monitoring
During the software running, the monitoring process monitors all the tasks. When
an error occurs in the software or the hardware is faulty, the monitoring process
reports alarms and attempts to restore the normal running of the software.
l Data check
The system checks data consistency on a regular or an event-triggering basis,
restores data consistency selectively or preferably, and generates related logs
and alarms.

Product Description

and 1900 MHz frequencies with the transmission rate as 9.6 kbit/s.
H
A transfer of a user’s connection from one radio channel to another (can be the
Handover
same or different cells).
R
The most common type of diversity, where a mobile device uses two physically
separate antennas to combine signals from the two antennas to reduce the
Receive diversity
impact of spatial variations in signal strength and thus increase the average data
rate available - sometimes dramatically.
S
SDH Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. A communication transmission standard defined
by the ITU-T. It is derived from the Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH).
T
TMA Tower Mounted Amplifier. A low noise amplifier installed close to the antenna.
Transceiver. An entity that serves up to eight TCHFs in full-duplex mode. If the
TRX
low-speed FH is not used, a transceiver serves one RF carrier.
