In the connected BBUs shown in Figure 2-2, BBU 0 and BBU 1 are the root BBU and leaf BBU,
respectively. You can identify whether a BBU serves as the root BBU or leaf BBU by using the
following methods:
l
In the UCIU+UMPT interconnection, the BBU configured with a UCIU is the root BBU.
In the UMPT+UMPT interconnection, the BBU at the end with the Master color-coding
on the BBU interconnection signal cable is the root BBU. Fiber optic cables cannot connect
BBUs in this interconnection method.
The root BBU and leaf BBU are determined in the site hardware planning.
A BBU interconnection signal cable is logically called CTRLLNK for an eGBTS, a NodeB or
an eNodeB and is logically called BTSCTRLLNK for a GBTS. By default, BBU 1 is the local
node and BBU 0 is the upper-level node of a CTRLLNK or BTSCTRLLNK.
In UCIU+UMPT interconnection, SingleRAN9.0 supports a maximum of two CTRLLNKs for
a NodeB or an eNodeB and two BTSCTRLLNKs for a GBTS.
In UMPT+UMPT interconnection, SingleRAN9.0 supports only one CTRLLNK for an eGBTS,
a NodeB or an eNodeB and one BTSCTRLLNK for a GBTS.

l In a co-MPT base station where two BBUs are interconnected, the primary and secondary main control
boards are configured in BBU 0 and BBU 1, respectively. The modes configured in BBU 1 must also
be configured in BBU 0. GSM cannot be configured in BBU 1.
l In triple-mode base stations, a board of a certain mode must be configured in the same BBU as the
main control board of this mode. For details about the board configurations for each mode, see the
BBU Hardware Description.
2.2.4 Restrictions
When UCIU+UMPT interconnection is used in a triple-mode base station, the following
restrictions apply:
l
Boards in the same BBU must have the same cabinet and subrack numbers. Boards in
different BBUs must have different cabinet numbers or both different cabinet and subrack
numbers. Otherwise, common boards, such as the UCIU, cannot function.
The distance between BBU 0 and BBU 1 must be less than or equal to 5 m.
If BBU 0 is configured with the GTMU, WMPT, or LMPT, cascaded RRUs cannot be
connected to BBU 1.
Only BBU interconnection signal cables provided by Huawei can be used. Fiber optic
cables cannot be used.
In the UMPT+UMPT interconnection and only one UMPT connects to external transmission equipment
scenario, if the transmission cable is removed from the original UMPT and reconnected to the other UMPT,
you need to reset the later UMPT by pressing the reset button on the UMPT or removing and reinserting
the UMPT.

Figure 2-4 Inter-BBU cable connections for UMTS baseband capacity expansion
A UMTS baseband board and a UMTS main control board are installed in both BBU 0 and BBU
1, and the two UMTS baseband boards are interconnected using a BBU interconnection signal
cable. Among UMTS baseband boards, WBBPf boards and UBBPd boards can provide HEI
ports for UMTS baseband interconnection. A WBBPf board or UBBPd board can be installed
only in slot 2 or slot 3 (preferred) in either BBU.
A BBU interconnection signal cable between WBBPf boards transmits baseband data and
expands baseband resources. A BBU interconnection signal cable between WBBPf boards
cannot be used interchangeably with that for UCIU+UMPT or UMPT+UMPT interconnection.
A BBU baseband interconnection signal cable is logically called BBPLNK. Either end of a
BBPLNK can be configured as the link head. It is recommended that you configure the end on
the BBU 0 side as the link head. SRAN9.0 supports only one BBPLNK.
NOTE
A CTRLLNK (for NodeB/eNodeB) or BTSCTRLLNK (for GBTS) must be set up before a BBPLINK.

Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) testing using a USB flash drive
In a NodeB deployed using the plug-and-play function, a UMPT working in UMTS mode
must be configured in BBU 0.
CPRI fiber optic cables can be connected to any WBBP in either BBU. It is recommended
that all CPRI fiber optic cables be connected to the WBBP in BBU 0. For details about
CPRI cable connections, see BBU Hardware Description.
The secondary UMTS main control board in BBU 1 does not support co-transmission.
Boards in the same BBU must have the same subrack and slot numbers. Boards in different
BBUs must have different subrack and slot numbers. Otherwise, common boards, such as
the UCIU, cannot function.

In UMTS baseband capacity expansion scenarios, UMTS is preferred to control the UCIU.
In other scenarios, the mode priority descends from GSM, to UMTS, and then to LTE.
In capacity expansion scenarios, it is recommended that the controlling mode of the UCIU
remain unchanged. Alternatively, you can modify the controlling mode based on
information provided in Table 5-2.
Table 5-2 lists the mode recommended for controlling the UCIU in each scenario.

During new Multimode base station deployment, the mode deployment order remains unchanged
no matter whether the mode controlling the UCIU is first deployed. However, it is recommended
that the mode controlling the UCIU be first deployed. By doing this, UCIU-related alarms can
be reported in time.

Independent Transmission
In a triple-mode base station deployment scenario, each mode is connected to the transport
network through its own port and is deployed in the same way as that in a single-mode base
station.
In UMTS baseband capacity expansion scenarios, both BBUs have a UMTS main control board,
and either BBU can be connected to the RNC through the Iub interface. However, it is
recommended that BBU 0 be connected to the RNC.
Inter-BBU Co-Transmission
For engineering guidelines about co-transmission, see Common Transmission Feature
Parameter Description. A multimode base station supports the following co-transmission modes
to implement inter-BBU co-transmission:
l
In new multimode base station deployment scenarios, the UTRPc has the following
configuration restrictions:
l
The UTRPc can be controlled by only one mode whose main control board is installed in
the same BBU as the UTRPc.
When deploying a new multimode base station, it is recommended that you deploy the
control mode of a UTRPc following a priority descending from LTE, to UMTS, and then
to GSM. By default, the UTRPc is controlled by UMTS before delivery.
Table 5-3 lists the mode recommended for controlling the UTRPc and the related mode
deployment order when an Multimode base station works in different modes.

An inter-BBU interface on
the UCIU can be an M port or
an S port. Inter-BBU
interfaces of the same type
cannot be connected, and a
ring network is not allowed if
inter-BBU interfaces are
connected. This alarm is
reported when inter-BBU
interfaces of the same type
are connected, or a ring
network is set up in the case
of an inter-BBU connection.
