1 Introduction
Introduction
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is an evolved telecom standard. It provides various technical
benefits to Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN), including:
LTE has flexible bandwidths, enhanced modulation schemes, and effective scheduling. In
addition, LTE allows operators to use both original and new spectral resources to provide data
and voice services.
1.1 Overview
Focusing on customer-oriented innovation, Huawei launches a series of LTE products in its
SingleBTS product portfolio. The LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) 3900 series base
stations (referred to as the 3900 series eNodeBs in this document) fully utilize Huawei
platform resources and use a variety of technologies to meet the challenges of mobile network
development.
The E-UTRAN NodeB (eNodeB) is used for radio access in the LTE system. The eNodeB
mainly performs Radio Resource Management (RRM) functions such as air interface
management, access control, mobility control, and User Equipment (UE) resource allocation.
Multiple eNodeBs constitute an E-UTRAN system.
The innovative design and flexible combinations of basic modules and auxiliary devices
encourage Huawei to diversify 3900 series eNodeB products. Figure 1-1 shows the 3900
series eNodeBs.
1 Introduction
1.2 Benefits
Diverse Usage Scenarios and RF Module Types for Different
Network Deployment Requirements
Huawei provides two types of radio frequency (RF) modules: radio frequency unit (RFU) and
remote radio unit (RRU), which can be installed based on installation scenarios for macro and
distributed eNodeBs. Each RF module provides at least two TX channels and two RX
channels (2T2R). The modules support main LTE frequency bands and the minimum
requirement of 2x2 uplink and downlink multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). RRUs that
are designed with 2T4R or 4T4R are adopted to meet the requirement of higher MIMO. RF
modules are also characterized by their support for various bandwidths, great TX power, and
high power amplification efficiency. 3mRRU that supports multi-carrier, multi-mode, and
MIMO is one of the smallest, lightest, and most-efficient RF modules in the industry. Diverse
usage scenarios and RF module types can meet different network deployment requirements of
operators.
1 Introduction
As a SingleRAN solution, the 3900 series eNodeBs can share the mature platform with
other base stations, such as the 3900 series base stations working in GSM or UMTS
mode. Equipment of different standards can be installed in the same cabinet. An indoor
cabinet or a BTS3900AL outdoor cabinet supports a maximum of five carriers and three
standards (GSM, UMTS, and LTE).
The 3900 series eNodeBs enable smooth network upgrade by sharing equipment with
other base stations working in the same frequency band according to the
software-defined radio (SDR) technology. This protects the original investment and
reduces the cost of network deployment.

2.2.1 BBU3900
The BBU3900, a baseband unit, performs the following functions:
Provides CPRI ports for communication with the RRUs/RFUs and processes uplink and
downlink baseband signals.
2 Arch itecture
Manages the entire eNodeB by means of operation and maintenance (OM) and signaling
message processing.
NOTE
The BBU3900 can be configured with the following boards and units:
Main control and transmission board: universal main processing and transmission unit
(UMPT)
FAN unit
BBU3900 boards support plug-and-play, and users can configure the boards as required.
UMPT
The UMPT is a universal main control and transmission unit for the BBU3900. It manages the
entire eNodeB in terms of OM, processes signaling messages, and provides clock signals for
the BBU3900. There are four types of UMPTs: UMPTa2, UMPTa6, UMPTb1, and UMPTb2.
Table 2-1 describes the differences between each UMPT type.

2.2.2 RRU
An RRU is a remote radio unit. One or more RRUs constitute the RF part of a distributed
eNodeB. RRUs can be installed on a pole, wall, or stand. They can also be installed close to
antennas to shorten the feeder length, reduce feeder loss, and improve system coverage. RRUs
modulate and demodulate baseband signals and RF signals, process data, amplify power, and
detect standing waves.
eNodeBs support RRU combination to provide a larger capacity. RRU combination is a
scheme that two RRUs working in the same frequency band are connected to the same LBBP
to serve the same sector.

2.3 DBS3900
The DBS3900 facilitates site acquisition as well as network planning and optimization, and
reduces network deployment time. It enables operators to efficiently deploy a
high-performance LTE network with a low total cost of ownership (TCO) by minimizing
investment in electricity, space, and manpower.
The DBS3900 consists of the BBU3900 and RRUs. The BBU3900 is characterized by its
small footprint, easy installation, and low power consumption. Therefore, the BBU3900 can
be easily installed in a spare space at an existing site. The RRU is also compact and light. It
can be installed close to an antenna to reduce feeder loss and to improve system coverage.
NOTE
Cabinets for the DBS3900 are of three versions: Ver.B, Ver.C, and Ver.D. The DBS3900 (Ver.B) cabinets
can be APM 30H (Ver.B) cabinets or TM C11H (Ver.B) cabinets. The DBS3900 (Ver.C) cabinets can be
APM 30H (Ver.C) cabinets or TM C11H (Ver.C) cabinets. The DBS3900 (Ver.D) cabinets can be
APM 30H (Ver.D) cabinets or TM C11H (Ver.D) cabinets. If the cabinet version is not specified, the
description is applicable to the cabinet of either version. If the cabinet version is specified, the
description is applicable only to the cabinet of that version.

If the DBS3900 is deployed indoors, the BBU3900 can be installed in a 19-inch cabinet or
rack, Indoor Centralized Rack (ICR), or Indoor Mini Box (IMB03). The BBU3900 can also
be installed on the wall to share the power supply system and the transmission system in the
existing network.
The ICR provides a baseband rack for installing the BBU3900 and an RF rack for installing a
maximum of six RRUs in a centralized manner.
