1.1 3900 Series NodeBs
Introduction
The mobile communications, which takes an ever-changing presence with each passing day, blazes a trail for the upgrade of technologies and products. The growing trend of mobile communications comprises a series of evolution, from GSM to EDGE to EDGE+ and from WCDMA to HSPA to HSPA+ and LTE, and it is worth mentioning that WiMAX also joins the 3G family. To follow the trend, the network operators have to devote more CAPEX and OPEX to the dramatic change of technologies, and therefore they are currently focusing on the merge of multiple network systems into a more cost-effective one. Upon the transition of mobile networks, the network operators target at the Blue Ocean Strategy and invite innovative and responsive partners. Customer-oriented and innovative, Huawei advocates four basic technological concepts: green, merge, wideband, and evolution. Huawei will take the lead in developing the next-generation base stations and the 3900 series NodeBs, Huawei's fourth generation base stations, will outclass other base stations to benefit operators with future-oriented networks. Huawei unveils cutting-edge techniques in the 3900 series NodeBs, such as wideband, multi-mode system, and modular design. The 3900 series NodeBs consist of only three basic functional modules, characterized by compact structure, high integration, low power consumption, and easy and quick deployment. Flexible combinations of functional modules and auxiliary devices encourage Huawei to diversify the products. More importantly, the modules for different modes of systems can be installed in one cabinet to work as a base station adapting to different scenarios. Huawei also actively introduces new frequency bands and technologies to well meet operators' requirement for a compact multi-mode mobile network system. Figure 1-1 shows the basic functional modules and auxiliary devices of the 3900 series NodeBs.

1.2 Product Features

Adaptable to diversified radio environments Different combinations of functional modules and auxiliary devices diversify the NodeB products. For example, there are macro NodeB, distributed NodeB, and mini compact NodeB, which operate in different scenarios to better meet different network deployment requirements. The 3900 series NodeBs provide a platform for the Huawei wireless products. To be specific, the base stations of different network systems such as GSM, WCDMA, CDMA, and WiMAX can share the same cabinet or even share one functional module at the same frequency band (based on the SDR technology), which makes it easy for network operators to choose a site type. Greatly reduced Total Cost of Operation (TCO) The 3900 series NodeBs have many advantages, such as flexible installation, easy site selection, cost-effective solution, and fast network construction. The baseband module (BBU3900) is only 19 inches wide and 2 U high, taking a very small indoor space or taking a place in an outdoor cabinet. The RF module (RRU3900) can be installed close to the antenna without taking any space of the equipment room. The RRU3804 supports up to four carriers with an output power of 60 W, known as the highest output power of the RRU in the telecom industry. The outstanding performance ensures wide coverage and high throughput. When two carriers are configured for the RRU3804, the number of sites can be reduced by 40%.

Page 7 of 59
The 3900 series NodeBs use the high-efficiency digital Power Amplifier (PA), which greatly reduces power consumption and helps build a green communication network. Compared with the traditional NodeB, the macro NodeB (BTS3900) has its power consumption reduced by 30%; compared with the traditional macro NodeB, the BTS3900A cabinet, which is in direct-ventilation, has its power consumption reduced by 40%. Based on the IP switch and multi-carrier technologies, the 3900 series NodeBs support the bandwidth of over 100 Mbit/s, which keeps up with the fast growing mobile data services and provides users with higher data transmission rate. Smooth evolution to future radio network systems The 3900 series NodeBs support smooth evolution to HSPA+ and Long Term Evolution (LTE), thus fully protecting the investment of network operators.

Products and Application Scenarios
3.1 Distributed NodeBDBS3900

As demand for environmental protection as well as lease cost has increased, the site selection has become a bottleneck in network deployment. It is increasingly difficult to adopt 2G/3G co-siting or to select a new site. The distributed NodeB (DBS3900) developed by Huawei features high integration, easy installation, and low power consumption. All these features can facilitate site reselection and 2G/3G co-siting. In addition, the WRRU can be installed close to the antenna. In this way, the feeder consumption is reduced and system coverage is improved.
3.1.1 Integrated Application

If only the AC power is available at a new outdoor 3G site and power backup device is required, the combination of DBS3900 and APM can function as an outdoor macro NodeB. Figure 3-1 shows the typical configuration of DBS3900 + APM. This configuration has the following features: The BBU3900 and transmission equipment can be installed in the APM cabinet and the RRU can be installed close to the antenna. The APM provides installation space and outdoor protection for the BBU3900 and supplies 48 V DC power to the BBU3900 and the WRRU. In addition, the APM manages and monitors the batteries and provides surge protection for the batteries. The APM30 can be configured with 12 Ah, 24 Ah, or 36 Ah built-in batteries and the APM100 can be configured with 50 Ah or 100 Ah built-in batteries. Whether the APM30 or the APM100 should be used depends on the required power back period.

3.5 Multi-Mode Base Station

The 3900 series NodeBs feature a unified platform and a modular design. Therefore, co-siting of modules in GSM, UMTS, or LTE mode can be supported, the baseband processing units and RF modules can share the same hardware platform, and modules in different modes can be located in one cabinet to support multi-mode application. This helps implement smooth evolution from GSM to UMTS or LTE. With baseband modules for different modes configured in one cabinet, the base station can support the GSM only mode, UMTS only mode, or GSM/UMTS dual mode. In addition, with the baseband modules for LTE mode configured in the future, the base station can support the GSM/UMTS/LTE multi-mode application. With RF modules for different modes configured in one cabinet, the base station can support the GSM only mode, UMTS only mode, or GSM/UMTS dual mode. The RF modules in UMTS mode are LTE-ready in hardware. Thus the base station can support UMTS/LTE dual-mode through software upgrade in the same frequency band. Figure 3-9 and Figure 3-10 show the multi-mode base stations for indoor and outdoor application respectively. Figure 3-9 Multi-mode base station for indoor application

Features
The advanced platform structure of the 3900 series NodeBs is described as follows: The 3900 series NodeBs that adopt the IP switch-based Huawei platform support the GU co-cabinet application, HSPA+, and smooth evolution to LTE. The 3900 series NodeBs introduce the module-sharing concept, that is, the distributed NodeB, cabinet macro NodeB, and compact mini NodeB share all baseband and RF modules. The three types of basic modules form different NodeB products that apply to different scenarios, thus lowering CAPEX and OPEX. The dual-star GE IP switch technology enables exchange of large amount of internal data and satisfies more data traffic needs for HSPA+ and LTE in the future. The hot-swappable BBU3900 provides eight slots for boards and supports smooth capacity expansion and evolution. The combination of the duplexer and Transceiver Unit (TRU) in the RF module enhances the integrity of RF parts and meets the future requirements of the minimized, high-efficiency, and low-cost NodeBs. A minimized NodeB cabinet is easy to carry and install, and the stacked NodeB cabinets take up a small footprint.

6.1 Overview 6.2 System Reliability
Reliability
The 3900 series NodeBs introduce a fresh new NodeB system structure and provides a complete redundancy design. It also takes advantage of Huawei large-capacity ASIC chips to enhance the integrity of modules, reduce the number of parts, and greatly improve the reliability of the system.
The system reliability of the 3900 series NodeBs is embodied in the load-sharing and redundancy configuration design, which optimizes the fault detection/isolation technology of boards and systems and greatly improves the reliability of the system.
Redundancy Design
The main control board, transmission board, power supply unit, and fan in the NodeB all support redundancy. The BBU supports load sharing. The CPRI port that connects the BBU and the RRU supports ring networking. When one CPRI link is faulty, the NodeB can automatically switch to another CPRI link. The key data such as software version and data configuration files in the NodeB supports redundancy.
Reliability Design
The NodeB can automatically self-detect and diagnose hardware failures and environment problems, and then report alarms. It also attempts to conduct self-healing to clear faults. If the self-healing fails, it can automatically isolate the faults.
03 (2008-09-18)
Page 41 of 59
6.3 Hardware Reliability

Anti-Misinsertion Function of Boards
When a board is wrongly inserted into the slot of another board, the mistaken board cannot be connected to the backplane and in this way the equipment is free from damage.
Overtemperature Protection
When the ambient temperature of the power amplifier on the RRU is too high, the NodeB generates overtemperature alarms and immediately switches off the power amplifier to prevent it from damage.
Power Supply Reliability

Power supply units of the 3900 series NodeBs are also reliable in the following aspects: The 3900 series NodeBs have wide-range voltage and surge protection functions. The 3900 series NodeBs provide power failure protection for programs and data. The boards protect power supply against overvoltage, overcurrent, and reverse connection of positive and negative poles. Hierarchical shutdown The outdoor NodeB performs shutdown for the PA according to the backup power capacity.
Surge Protection Reliability

The 3900 series NodeBs take surge protection measures on AC/DC power sockets, input/output signal ports (E1 port, interconnection port, and Boolean alarm port), antenna connectors, and GPS ports.
6.4 Software Reliability

The software reliability includes the redundancy of key files and data, and the powerful error tolerance of software.
Software Redundancy
The 3900 series NodeBs provide redundancy for key files and data such as software versions and data configuration files to prevent them from damage and to ensure the normal running of the NodeBs. Redundancy of software versions The 3900 series NodeBs provide separate redundancy for software versions including the BootROM software version to avoid version problems. If one version is faulty, the NodeB can switch to the backup version. Redundancy of data configuration files
03 (2008-09-18)
Page 42 of 59
The 3900 series NodeBs provide separate redundancy for data configuration files to avoid interrupting the running of the files. If the current file is faulty, the backup file can still work properly.
Error Tolerance
When the software is faulty, it does not affect the entire NodeB because the system is capable of self-healing. The software error tolerance functions are as follows: Scheduled detection of key resources The 3900 series NodeBs perform occupancy check on software resources. If resource hang-up occurs due to software faults, the NodeB can release the unavailable resources in time and export logs and alarms. Task monitoring During the running of software, the 3900 series NodeBs monitor the internal errors of all software and some hardware faults, if any. The 3900 series NodeBs also monitor task progress and running status, report alarms when the system is faulty, and try to restore the task by self-healing. Data consistency check The 3900 series NodeBs perform scheduled or event-triggered data consistency check and can restore the data consistency preferably or preferentially. Also, they generate related logs and alarms. Dongle The 3900 series NodeBs can detect the irregular running status of the software and then automatically reset the system through the dongles at both software and hardware levels.
