NOTE

(1) If both high-power RFUs and low-power RFUs exist in the same base station, the power configurationfor high-power RFUs will apply for the base station.

(2) If possible, it is suggested to configure the base station with the power configuration for maximumhigh-power RFUs so as to satisfy all scenarios. If the power configuration has to be in accordance withactual scenarios, the circuit breaker and power cables need to be upgraded in case of base station extension.

(3) The power configuration applicable for the scenarios with higher power consumption is also applicablefor the scenarios with lower power consumption.

(4) The circuit breakers for high load capability are applicable to those for low load capability. The sequenceof load capability for circuit breakers is: 1 x 160A > 2 x 80A > 2 x 63A > 1 x 100A > 1 x 80A > 1 x 63A.

(5) The power consumption of inner transmission is ignored for the circuit breakers of indoor macro basestation.

(6) High-power RFUs include: LRFUe, WRFUd, and MRFUd.

(7) Low-power RFUs include: DRFU, GRFU, WRFU, MRFU, CRFU, LRFU. and MRFU V3.

(8) If two external power inputs are supplied, the following requirements must be met:

l The two power inputs must be supplied by the same power cabinet.

l The circuit breakers used for the two power inputs have the same model and specifications.

l The power cables for the two power inputs must have the same cross-sectional area and length.

l When powering on the base station, turn on the two circuit breakers of power input before turningon the circuit breakers for all the RFUs. When powering off the base station, turn off the circuitbreakers for all the RFUs before turning off the two circuit breakers of power input.

(9) One DCDU-11A can supply a maximum of three power inputs for two BBUs. The cabinet can beconfigured with a maximum of two BBUs, one with power consumption of 650 W and the other with powerconsumption of 360 W. If an additional DCDU-11A is configured, the cabinet can be configured with twoBBUs both with power consumption of 650 W.

(10) If two BBU3900s are configured, the second BBU3900 shall obtain power from a power cabinetoutside of the DCDU-11A in the base station that the second BBU3900 installed.

NOTEAfter the UPEUc is replaced by the UPEUa, the base station power consumption data monitored by thenetwork management system will change. The power consumption data does not only depend on the outputpower but also on the data collection method. The UPEUc and UPEUa use different methods for powerconsumption data collection. Therefore, the decrease in the power consumption shown in the networkmanagement system after the UPEUc is replaced by the UPEUa does not necessarily reflect the actualdecrease of power consumption.

l Converts the direct frequency conversion technology, modulates the baseband signals forthe GSM TX band. After filtering and amplification, the baseband signals are transmittedto the antenna system through the duplexer.

l Receives uplink RF signals from the antenna system and then down-converts the receivedsignals to intermediate frequency (IF) signals. After amplification, analog-to-digitalconversion, digital down-conversion, matched filtering, automatic gain control (AGC), theIF signals are sent to a baseband unit (BBU) for further processing.

l Performs power control.

l Performs reverse power detection.

l Synthesizes frequencies and tests loops.

l Generates the common public radio interface (CPRI) clock, recovers the CPRI clock fromloss of synchronization, and detects alarms.

A DRFU consists of a high-speed interface unit, signal processing unit, power amplifier, anddual-duplexer. Figure 4-41 shows the logical structure of the DRFU.

FunctionsThe functions of the MRFUe are as follows:

l Modulates and converts the signals to the TX band by up-converting the intermediatefrequency (IF) signals, filters and amplifies the signals or combines the signals, and thentransmits the signals to the antenna through the duplexer.

l Receives RF signals from the antenna system, down-converts the signals to IF signals, andperforms amplification, analog-to-digital conversion, digital down-conversion, matchedfiltering, and digital automatic gain control (DAGC), and then transmits the signals to theBBU for further processing.

l Performs power control.l Provides Voltage Standing Wave Ration (VSWR) detection.l Supplies power to the TMA and controls the RET antenna.l Controls Digital Predistortion (DPD) based on feedback signals.l Generates the CPRI clock, recovers the CPRI clock from loss of synchronization, and

detects alarms.

Transmission Cable Connections for a GSM+UMTS Base Station in CommonTransmission Mode

When a GSM+UMTS base station works in co-transmission mode, TDM co-transmission or IPco-transmission can be used. Based on the IP co-transmission, the GSM+UMTS base stationcan implement route backup. That is, four FE ports on the GTMU and LMPT panels are used.Of the four FE ports, two FE ports of one type are used for interconnection, and the FE ports ofthe other type are connected to the transport network.

TDM Common TransmissionFigure 5-15 shows the transmission cable connection for a GSM+UMTS base station in TDMcommon transmission mode when the E1/T1 port on the GTMU serves as the shared port toconnect to the BSC and RNC. The GTMU communicates with the WMPT using the backplaneto implement TDM common transmission.

Route Backup Mode with IP Common Transmission

In a GSM+UMTS base station, the route backup mode with IP common transmission has thefollowing characteristics:

l IP transmission is applied. The GTMU and WMPT are connected to the BSC and RNCrespectively using the active channel.

l The GTMU and the WMPT are interconnected using FE ports on their panels.

l If the active channel is faulty, the standby channel takes over. After the active channel isrestored, the route is switched back to the active one.

l The bandwidth required by UMTS services is larger than the processing capability of theGSM standard transport network. Therefore, when the standby channel is used, the Qualityof Service (QoS) of only high-priority data flows can be guaranteed.

In a GSM+UMTS base station, the route backup mode with IP common transmission has thefollowing limitations:

l The route backup function is not applicable when the base station uses the IP over E1common transmission.

l The route backup mode is not applicable to the ports on the UTRPs for GSM or UMTStransmission. It is applicable only to the ports on the GTMU and WMPT panels.

l In route backup mode, the FE ports of one type on the GTMU and WMPT panels areinterconnected. The FE ports of the other type on the two boards are connected to the BSCand the RNC.

Figure 5-21 shows the transmission cable connections for a GSM+UMTS base station in routebackup mode with IP common transmission when the FE optical ports on the GTMU and WMPTare interconnected and the FE electrical ports on the two boards are connected to the BSC andRNC.

A GSM+UMTS base station implements IP co-transmission based on the interconnectionbetween the FE ports (optical or electrical type) on the GTMU and WMPT panels. Based on theco-transmission, route backup can be implemented. That is, four FE ports on the GTMU andWMPT panels are used. Of the four FE ports, two FE ports of one type are used forinterconnection, and the FE ports of the other type are connected to the BSC and RNC.

In a GSM+UMTS base station, the route backup transmission mode has the followingcharacteristics:

l IP transmission is applied. The GTMU and WMPT are connected to the BSC or RNCthrough the primary channel respectively.

l The GTMU and the WMPT are interconnected through FE ports on their panels.

l If the primary channel is faulty, the secondary channel takes over. After the primary channelis restored, the route is switched back to the primary one.

l The bandwidth required by UMTS services is larger than the processing capability of theGSM standard transport network. Therefore, when the secondary channel is used, theQuality of Service (QoS) of only high-priority data flows can be guaranteed.

In a GSM+UMTS base station, the following limitations on the route backup transmission modeapply:

l The route backup function is not applicable when the base station uses the IP over E1transmission.

l The route backup transmission mode is not applicable on the ports on the UTRPs for GSMand UMTS transmission. It is applicable only on the ports on the GTMU and WMPT panels.

l In route backup transmission mode, the FE ports of one type on the GTMU and WMPTpanels are interconnected. The FE ports of the other type on the two boards are connectedto the BSC and the RNC.

Transmission Cable Connection in the UMTS+LTE Base Station in Route BackupTransmission Mode

A UMTS+LTE base station implements IP co-transmission based on the interconnectionbetween the FE ports (optical or electrical type) on the WMPT and LMPT panels. Based on theco-transmission, route backup can be implemented. That is, four FE ports on the WMPT andLMPT panels are used. Of the four FE ports, two FE ports of one type are used forinterconnection, and the FE ports of the other type are connected to the transport network.

In a UMTS+LTE base station, the route backup transmission mode has the followingcharacteristics:l IP transmission is applied. The WMPT and LMPT are connected to the transport network

through the primary channel.l The WMPT and the LMPT are interconnected through FE ports on their panels.l If the primary channel is faulty, the secondary channel takes over. After the primary channel

is restored, the route is switched back to the primary one.l The bandwidth required by LTE services is larger than the processing capability of the

UMTS standard transport network. Therefore, when the secondary channel is used, theQuality of Service (QoS) of only high-priority data flows can be guaranteed.

In a UMTS+LTE base station, the following limitations on the route backup transmission modeapply:l The route backup function is not applicable when the base station uses the IP over E1

transmission.l The route backup transmission mode is not applicable on the ports on the UTRPs for UMTS

and LTE transmission. It is applicable only on the ports on the WMPT and LMPT panels.l In route backup transmission mode, the FE ports of one type on the WMPT and LMPT

panels are interconnected. The FE ports of the other type on the two boards are connectedto the transport network.

FE Optical Ports for Interconnection and FE Electrical Ports Connected to theTransport Network

Figure 5-56 shows the transmission cable connections for a UMTS+LTE base station in routebackup transmission mode when the FE optical ports on the WMPT and LMPT areinterconnected and the FE electrical ports on the two boards are connected to the transportnetwork.

Transmission Cable Connection in the UMTS+LTE Base Station in HybridTransmission Mode

A UMTS+LTE base station implements IP co-transmission based on the interconnectionbetween the FE ports on the WMPT and LMPT panels. Based on the co-transmission, hybridtransmission can be implemented. That is, the UMTS E1/T1 port and LTE FE/GE port are usedas shared ports for data transmission. The E1/T1 port is used to transmit the services with highQoS requirements, such as CS services. The FE/GE port is used to transmit the services withlow QoS requirements, such as PS services.

The UMTS E1/T1 port and the LTE FE/GE port are used for data transmission in a UMTS+LTEbase station in hybrid transmission. When the UMTS FE/GE port and the LTE FE/GE port areused for data transmission, hybrid transmission is not applicable.

UMTS E1/T1 Port and LTE FE/GE Electrical Port for Data TransmissionFigure 5-58 shows the transmission cable connections for a UMTS+LTE base station in hybridtransmission mode when the UMTS E1/T1 port and the LTE FE/GE electrical port are used fordata transmission.
