The NodeB has a cutting-edge modular design of multiple mode and forms, thus adaptive to various installation scenarios. This effectively addresses the requirements for integrated development of a multi-mode mobile network, the broadband solution, and green network rollout, and enables the construction of a future-oriented network and smooth evolution to the Long Term Evolution (LTE).
Broadband Solution
l
The outstanding performance of the RRU3804 and WRFU ensures wide coverage, high throughput, and reduced number of sites.
The RRU3804 and WRFU adopt a multi-carrier technology which features 20 MHz bandwidth and 4-carrier configuration. A single RRU3804 supports the 60 W output power at the antenna connector and a single WRFU supports 80 W at the antenna connector. The HSPA service enjoys high bandwidth and short delay. The data rate of the HSPA service can peak 14.4 Mbit/s in the downlink. The data rate of the HSPA service can peak 5.76 Mbit/s over the Uu interface at the physical layer in the uplink.
The NodeB supports the High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) service in full rate mode.
The IP-based switch core of the NodeB allows operators to obtain higher bandwidth and have easier ways in capacity expansion and network adjustment by utilizing the existing IP transmission resources, thereby curtailing the cost for network deployment.
Issue 01 (2008-07-30)
2-1
The NodeB can provide the Fast Ethernet (FE) port at the 100 Mbit/s externally, and the IP Radio Access Network (RAN) can reuse the existing IP transmission resources on the Iub interface. Apart from being more cost-effective than the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)based network, the IP-based network provides the multi-access mode and sufficient transmission bandwidth to satisfy the data service with high data rate.
The RF modules of the NodeB adopt the advanced Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) and ADoherty technologies to raise the power amplification rate to 40%. Thus, the power consumption of the entire NodeB is lowered. The reduced power consumption of the cabinet macro NodeB not only avoids extra electricity expense but also lessens the investment in power supply, backup batteries, air conditioners, and heat exchangers.
As the most compact macro NodeB in the industry, the cabinet macro NodeB takes up a small footprint. The RF cabinet of the BTS3900A is of direct-ventilation design. In comparison with the traditional macro NodeB, power consumption of the BTS3900A is lowered by 40%.
The DBS3900 is characterized by separate baseband and RF modules and distributed installation, which facilitates transportation, configuration, and installation.
The BBU3900 of the distributed NodeB is characterized by a small footprint, easy installation, and low power consumption. In addition, the BBU3900 can be placed in the spare space of an existing site. The RRU, small and light, supports installation near the antenna, thus preventing feeder loss. Working in natural heat dissipation mode, the RRU has no fans. The high reliability of the RRU reduces the routine maintenance cost.
The NodeBs of all types can share the baseband modules, RF modules, and power systems, thereby saving the cost for spare parts and maintenance.
The earlier-mentioned features of the NodeB can fully address the concern over site acquisition for operators, expedite network rollout, decrease occupation of resources such as manpower, power supply, and space, and lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
The NodeB enables different-mode modules plugged in the same cabinet to support different modes or different-mode modules inserted into the same cabinet to support multimode application. The UMTS RF modules support HSPA+ in terms of hardware, which enables other modules of the existing NodeB to be shared to the maximum limit and facilitates smooth evolution to the LTE.

Advanced Platform-Based Architecture
l l
Featuring the cutting-edge modular design of multiple forms and modes, the NodeB enjoys various advanced features and functions.
The NodeB that uses the Huawei IP switch-based platform supports the GSM/UMTS dualmode application, HSPA+, and smooth evolution to the LTE. The distributed NodeB, cabinet macro NodeB, and compact mini NodeB share the baseband and RF modules. The three types of basic modules (BBU, RF, and WRFU) can form different NodeB products that apply to different scenarios. This reduces cost in equipment and maintenance. The NodeB supports the dual-star GE IP switch technology, thus enabling more powerful capability in internal data exchange and satisfying the requirements of increasing HSPA+ and LTE data volume in the future. The BBU3900 provides eight slots, in which the boards or modules are swappable, and supports smooth capacity expansion and evolution. The RF module integrates the duplexer and the Transceiver Unit (TRU), thus enhancing integrity of RF parts and meeting future requirements for a compact, high-efficiency, and low-cost NodeB. A minimized NodeB cabinet is easy to transport and install, and the stacking installation mode of NodeB cabinets lowers the requirement for footprint.
The BBU3900 contains highly integrated chips and features large capacity. A single BBU3900 supports 24 cells, with 1,536 UL CEs and 1,536 DL CEs. It also supports HSDPA and HSUPA services. A single RRU or WRFU supports the 4-carrier configuration. When the capacity of the NodeB is expanded from 1 x 1 to 1 x 4 or from 3 x 1 to 3 x 4, no extra RRU or WRFU is required.
High Performance
l
The NodeB features high receiver sensitivity. The 2-way receiver sensitivity is higher than -129.3 dBm without the Tower Amplification (TMA).
Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd 5-1
Issue 01 (2008-07-30)
The WRFU supports 80 W output power and the RRU3804 supports 60 W output power. The power amplification efficiency is boosted to 27.6%. The NodeB supports the open-loop TX diversity and closed-loop TX diversity to enhance downlink coverage and capacity.
The NodeB supports the User-Network Interface (UNI) mode when transmission resources are inadequate and traffic is low. The NodeB supports the Inverse Multiplexing on ATM (IMA) mode when there are rich transmission resources. This mode features high reliability, high-speed transmission, and low transmission delay. The NodeB supports the fractional ATM mode.
IP The IP transport, based on IPs, supports the transmission of various data services on low-rate links. In this mode, the IP transmission resources are fully utilized and operators' investment is dramatically reduced.
l
Native IP transport is supported without requirements for additional hardware. Compared with the PWE3 technology, native IP transport enjoys higher transmission efficiency and lower investment because the PWE3 external device is not required. IP over E1 is supported to fully utilize the E1 resources of the existing network and to provide a complete solution of IP transport. The fractional Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) technology is supported. The ATM and IP dual stack is supported to protect operators' early investment in ATM transport. The compression and multiplexing technologies, such as the multiplexing of PPP header compression, PPPMUX, and IP Header Compression (IPHC), are supported to help achieve high transmission bandwidth efficiency over E1 ports. With the solution of IPHC + PPP compression + PPPMUX, the E1 transmission rate of the 12.2 kbit/s voice service rises by up to 37%. The FP MUX is supported to reduce the number of Medium Access Control (MAC) headers by multiplexing packets and to raise the transmission efficiency over FE ports. With this technology, the FE transmission rate of the 12.2 kbit/s voice service rises by up to 40%. Hybrid transport is supported, which enables different transmission paths to be allocated for services with different QoS requirements. For example, hybrid transport enables realtime services to travel on electrical ports, such as E1/T1 ports, and non-real-time services to travel on Ethernet ports.

Without additional hardware, the IP clock is supported through software upgrade, thus providing IP transport with cost-effective clock solutions. Synchronization with the internal clock. The internal stratum-3 clock ensures that the NodeB keeps working properly for at least 90 days in the case of loss of the external clock.
HSDPA
l l l
The HSDPA and R99/R4 services are supported in the same carrier. The downlink data rate of a single cell can peak at 14.4 Mbit/s. A single cell supports 15 High Speed Physical Downlink Shared Channel (HS-PDSCH) codes and dynamic code resource allocation. The NodeB supports 12 categories of UE at various rates. A single cell can support 64 HSDPA UEs. The NodeB supports dynamic power allocation. The QPSK and 16QAM modulation modes which raise spectrum usage are supported.
l l l l
HSUPA
l l l l l
The HSUPA and R99/R4 services are supported in the same carrier. The E-DCH TTI of 10 ms and 2 ms are supported. The uplink data rate of a single cell can peak at 5.76 Mbit/s. A single cell can support 60 HSUPA UEs. The NodeB supports Received Total Wideband Power (RTWP) fast measurement in a period of 2 ms to effectively enhance the reliability of UL loads.
MBMS
l
The NodeB supports the setup, reconfiguration, and deletion of the MBMS notification Indicator Channel (MICH), and handling of the related signaling configuration. Each cell supports 16 Secondary Common Control Physical Channels (SCCPCHs). Each SCCPCH supports 4 Forward Access Channels (FACHs). Each cell supports 63 MBMS channels.

The RET antenna is supported to optimize network coverage, reduce interference, and expand system capacity. The remote batch OM, batch software upgrade, and batch adjustment of RET antenna downtilts are supported. The automatic scanning of the RET antenna is supported. The Antenna Interface Standard Group (AISG) 1.1 and 2.0 standard interfaces are supported.

Issue 01 (2008-07-30)
The cascading of RET antennas and controlling the tilt of the 2G RET antenna through the 3G site are supported.
To implement the same band antenna sharing with low insertion loss, the Same-band Antenna Sharing Unit (SASU) and Same-band Antenna Sharing Adapter (SASA) are introduced to reduce cost in network deployment. The SASU applies to two scenarios: the antenna shared by 2G and 3G systems and the antenna shared by two 3G systems. The SASU that enables two different systems at the same band to share one antenna system is an important part of the same band antenna sharing solution. The SASU can greatly reduce the cost and time of the 3G network construction. The SASU supports 900 MHz and 2,100 MHz frequency bands. The SASA is another important part of the same band antenna sharing solution. Although it brings an insertion loss of 0.8 dB in the downlink, it can integrate transmit carriers from two antennas into one antenna, without affecting GSM network performance.
l l
The NodeB supports local maintenance, remote maintenance, and reverse maintenance. The NodeB supports the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). When data is not configured or the NodeB is faulty, the NodeB automatically sets up an OM channel to enhance system reliability and to perform remote troubleshooting. The NodeB supports configuration baseline which simplifies the configuration rollback process and enhances reliability of configuration rollback. The NodeB provides the intelligent out-of-service function. Before the NodeB is out of service, the UE is handed over to another 2G or 3G cell when the NodeB gradually reduces the cell pilot power. Such a handover prevents service disruption. The NodeB provides the RRU topology scanning function, which enables automatic monitoring of the RRU topology in real time to help reduce manual intervention. The NodeB provides the complete system self-detection function, thus local commissioning is not required.
Environment Adaptability
To adapt to all kinds of environment, the NodeB provides a comprehensive solution covering power distribution, surge protection, transmission cabling, installation of transmission devices, and power backup. Outdoor environment

Direct data transmission is implemented between the NodeB and the RNC, reducing the number of nodes that signals travel through and enhancing transmission reliability.
Disadvantage: The star topology requires more transmission resources than other topologies.
Chain Topology
The chain topology is applicable to belt-shaped and sparsely populated areas, such as areas along highways and railways. Figure 8-2 shows the chain topology. Figure 8-2 Chain topology
Advantages: The chain topology can reduce costs in transmission devices, engineering, construction, and transmission link lease. Disadvantages:
l l l
Signals travel through many nodes, leading to low transmission reliability. Faults in the upper-level NodeB may affect the operation of the lower-level NodeB. The number of levels in a chain topology cannot exceed five.
Tree Topology

Signals travel through many nodes, leading to low transmission reliability and difficulties in construction and maintenance. Faults in the upper-level NodeB may affect the operation of the lower-level NodeB. Capacity expansion is difficult because it may require changes in the network architecture. The number of cascading levels cannot exceed five.

System Reliability
Redundancy design
l
The NodeB features a new system architecture and a complete redundancy design. In addition, the NodeB takes advantage of Huawei large-capacity ASIC chips to enhance the integrity of modules and reduce the number of parts, thus significantly improving the system reliability.
The NodeB has the reliability design such as the load-sharing and redundancy configuration, and adopts the optimized fault detection/isolation technology of boards and systems, thus greatly improving the reliability of the system.
The main control board, transmission board, power supply unit, and fan unit in the NodeB all support redundancy. The BBU supports load sharing. The CPRI port that connects the BBU and the RF modules supports the ring topology. When one CPRI link becomes faulty, the NodeB can automatically switch to another CPRI link. The key data such as software versions 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, the fault is automatically isolated.
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 PA on the RF module is too high, the NodeB generates overtemperature alarms and immediately shuts down the PA to prevent it from damage. Power supply reliability
Issue 01 (2008-07-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd 10-1
The NodeB has wide-range voltage and surge protection functions. The NodeB provides power failure protection for programs and data. The boards protect power supply against overvoltage, overcurrent, and reverse connection of positive and negative poles. The hierarchical shutdown is supported. The outdoor NodeB performs shutdown for the PA based on the backup power capacity.
Surge protection design The NodeB takes 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.
Software Reliability
The software reliability is embodied in the redundancy of key files and data and the powerful error tolerance of software. Software redundancy The NodeB provides 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 NodeB.
l
Redundancy of software versions: The NodeB provides separate redundancy for software versions including the BootROM software version to avoid version problems. If one version becomes faulty, the NodeB can switch to the backup version. Redundancy of data configuration files: The NodeB provides separate redundancy for data configuration files to avoid interrupting the running of the files. If the current file becomes faulty, the NodeB can keep working properly with the backup file.
Error tolerance capability When the software is faulty, it does not affect the entire NodeB because the system is capable of self-healing. The software error tolerance of the NodeB covers the following aspects:
l
Scheduled detection of key resources: The NodeB performs 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 NodeB monitors the internal errors of all software and some hardware faults, if any. The NodeB also has a monitoring process to monitor running status and report alarms when the system is faulty, and try to restore the task by self-healing. Data consistency check: The NodeB performs scheduled or event-triggered data consistency check and can restore the data consistency preferably or preferentially. Also, it generates related logs and alarms. Dongle: The NodeB can detect the irregular running status of the software and then automatically reset the system through the dongles at both software and hardware levels.
