2.1 Introduction
ALD is a generic term for antenna devices, including:
l Remote electrical tilt (RET) antenna
l Tower-mounted amplifier (TMA)
l Same-band antenna sharing unit (SASU)
l Remote antenna extension (RAE) unit
l Active antenna system (AAS) module.
Currently, a maximum of six ALDs can be cascaded on a control port of a remote radio unit
(RRU)/radio frequency unit (RFU) to enable the RET function, and the number of each type
of ALD varies in different application scenarios.

2.2 MRFD-210602 RET Antenna

One RET antenna consists of one remote control unit (RCU) and one or more RET subunits.
l The RCU is the control unit of an RET antenna. It receives and runs the control
commands from the base station and drives the stepper motor. The stepper motor drives
the phase shifter inside the antenna device, and the phase shifter adjusts the antenna tilt.
Interface RS485 functions as the control interface of the RCU.
l RET subunits are antenna devices that can be independently controlled.
An RET antenna may comprise more than one RET subunit combined in a single physical
entity. The RET antenna is classified into the following types:
l A single-antenna RET antenna (SINGLE_RET) has only one RET subunit.
l A multi-antenna RET antenna (MULTI_RET) has multiple RET subunits, each of
which supports the configuration file download and downtilt setting. A multi-antenna
RET antenna can be regarded as a set of single-antenna RET antennas installed in a
radome.
The RET antenna has the following benefits:
l Remote adjustment eliminates onsite operations. Antenna maintenance is not subject to
site conditions such as weather and location.
l High adjustment efficiency reduces network optimization and maintenance costs.
l Adjustable downtilt prevents coverage distortion, which improves signal coverage and
decreases neighboring cell interference.
Compared with antennas with mechanical downtilts, RET antennas have the disadvantages of
higher cost and higher complexity.
2.3 MRFD-210601 TMA

A TMA is a low noise amplifier (LNA) installed next to the antenna. It improves the signal-
to-noise ratio (SNR), sensitivity, and uplink coverage of a base station.
TMAs are classified into two types: common TMA and smart TMA. Unlike common TMAs,
smart TMAs support the Antenna Interface Standards Group (AISG) protocol. Unless
otherwise stated in this document, "TMA" refers to a smart TMA.

SingleRAN
TMAs have a built-in smart bias-tee (SBT) that performs the following functions:
l Converts RS485 signals received from the RCU to on-off-keying (OOK) signals, and
converts OOK signals received from the RRU or RFU to RS485 signals
l Feeds DC power from the remote radio unit (RRU)/radio frequency unit (RFU) to the
RCU
NOTE
l The SBT provides DC power supply and control commands through the feeder for the RCU. The
SBT is applied on the RET antenna side.
l When an RRU or RFU connects to a TMA, at least one RF port supporting the TMA must connect
to this TMA so that the RRU/RFU can transmit control signals to the TMA. For details about
capabilities of RF modules to support the TMA, see Table 2-2 and Table 2-3.
The TMA provides the following functions:

l Amplifies uplink signals to compensate for attenuation from an antenna to an RRU or
RFU
l Balances signal amplification between the uplink and downlink
A TMA has one or multiple subunits and supports amplification of one or multiple uplink RF
signals.
2.4 WRFD-060003 SASU

An SASU is a Huawei customized device for antenna sharing between intra-band GSM and
UMTS modes at a multimode site. Antenna sharing helps operators reduce their capital
expenditure (CAPEX). Currently, the SASU supports only the 900 MHz and 2100 MHz
frequency bands.
The SASU uses two subunits to amplify uplink signals of GSM and UMTS systems.
2.5 LOFD-001024/TDLOFD-001024 RAE

The RAE consists of the antenna information sensor unit (AISU) and the RAE for storing
antenna weights.
l AISU
The AISU is a device for measuring the following antenna engineering parameters:
azimuth, mechanical tilt angle, longitude, latitude, and height. Installed on the top of an
antenna, the AISU performs GPS-based direction finding, and works with the base
station and element management system (EMS) to implement the antenna auto-sensing
solution. That is, the engineering parameters described above can be queried remotely in
real time on the EMS.
l RAE for storing antenna weights
An RAE storage chip is added inside an antenna to store the port weight information of
the antenna, thereby avoiding weight confusion. Then corresponding commands are
executed on the EMS to ensure that a base station automatically reads the corresponding
weighted values from the RAE, and the configurations take effect. In this way, the
antenna coverage reaches the expected results.
The RAE supports the automatic measurement of antenna engineering parameters, which
improves the accuracy of engineering parameters for the antenna system of a base station
and reduces onsite surveys as well as the costs of network optimization for operators.

SingleRAN
NOTE
l For the AISU hardware information and installation method, see AISU User Manual.
l The RAE for storing antenna weights is supported by only the LTE TDD mode. For details, see
Antenna Weight Management Feature Parameter Description.
2.6 AAS Module
2.6.1 Overview
An AAS module incorporates the functions of RF modules and antennas. It consists of the
following function units:
l Antenna Unit (AU) : antenna unit.

l Radio Unit (RU) : RF unit.
l Management Unit (MU): control unit. Currently, only the AAU3902 has this function
unit.
The passive antennas and RCUs in the AAS provide the antenna and RET functions,
respectively, for the RRU/RFU that are connected to the AAS module.
For details about an AAS product, see the hardware description of the AAS product.
Different types of AAS modules have different sets of integrated dual-polarized antennas. For
details about the mapping between integrated antennas and either of the following: inserted
modules, RET functions, and external ports, see the hardware description of the AAS product.
2.6.2 AAS Modules with Passive Antennas

The passive antenna and RCU built in an AAS module provide the RET function for RRUs
and RFUs in the same way as that provided by a conventional RET antenna. The AAS
module with the passive antenna complies with the AISG 2.0 protocol. The RET antennas of
the passive antennas are cascaded but work independently.
The AAS module supports the RET function by using the Management Unit (MU), the
RETPORT on the AAS active module, or the RRU/RFU. Table 2-8 lists the capabilities of
AAS modules to support the RET function.

4.1 RET Antenna Functions
4.1.1 Connections Between RET Antennas and RRUs/RFUs

RET antennas and RRUs/RFUs can be connected in a regular or daisy chain scenario. When
splitters are used, RET antennas and RRUs/RFUs can be connected in a sector splitting
scenario.
Regular Scenario
In a regular scenario, an RRU can be connected to one RET antenna through the RET port
(RETPORT) or RF port (ANTENNAPORT). The RFU does not have an RETPORT and
therefore can be connected to one RET antenna only through the ANTENNAPORT.
l Connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT
An AISG multi-wire cable connects the RETPORT on the RRU to the RCU of the RET
antenna, as shown in Figure 4-1. With the integrated BT, the RRU can send RS485
control signals and feed 12 V DC power to the RCU through the RETPORT. Therefore,
no SBT is required. This connection mode is recommended when the distance between
the RRU and the RET antenna is shorter than 20 m.

SingleRAN
Figure 4-1 Connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT
For the data configurations in this connection mode, see the following scenarios:
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: scenario 1 in section 8.4 Deployment.
GBTS: scenario 1 in section 9.4 Deployment.
Base station using ALD automatic deployment: scenario 1 or 4 in section 10.4
Deployment.
l Connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT
An SBT is required in this connection mode. Feeders and jumpers connect the RRU or
RFU, SBT, and RET antenna, and an AISG multi-wire cable connects the SBT to the
RCU of the RET antenna, as shown in Figure 4-2. The RRU or RFU combines OOK
signals, 12 V DC power, and RF signals, and sends the combined signals to the SBT
through feeders. The SBT splits the combined signals into two links. RF signals are sent
to the RET antenna on one link. On the other link, OOK signals are converted to RS485
control signals and 12 V DC power is forwarded to the RCU through an AISG multi-
wire cable.

SingleRAN
Figure 4-2 Connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT
Deployment.
Connection modes shown in Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2 also apply to a multimode base
station. For details about data configuration, see chapter 7 Engineering Guidelines
(ALD Manual Deployment on Multimode Base Station).
l Connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT (with an external BT)
This connection mode applies to RRUs without a BT that are installed 20 m or farther
away from RET antennas, such as the RRU3801C (20 W) for UMTS, and RRU3220 for
LTE. Without a BT, RF ports cannot provide 12 V DC power for RET antennas. In this

SingleRAN
case, connect the RETPORT on an RRU to an external Bias Tee (BT) and connect an
external SBT to an RET antenna for power supply to the antenna, as shown in Figure
4-3. The BT is the passive component that couples RF signals or OOK signals with
feeder signals. The BT is applied on the base station side.
Figure 4-3 Connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT (with an external BT)
Deployment.
Daisy Chain Scenario

In a daisy chain scenario, two or more RCUs are connected by AISG multi-wire cables. The
upper-level RCU provides RS485 control signals and power for the lower-level RCU.
In Figure 4-4, RRUs are cascaded by connecting to the RET antennas through the RETPORT.
This connection mode applies to the scenario where antennas for multiple sectors are centrally
installed, for example, on the same pole or tower.

SingleRAN
In Figure 4-5, RRUs/RFUs are cascaded by connecting to the RET antennas through the
ANTENNAPORT. The connection through the ANTENNAPORT requires SBTs, and
cascading can reduce the number of required SBTs. In such a case, the RET antennas can be
configured on the RRU or RFU that provides RS485 signals and power for the RET antennas.
In this scenario, the SCENARIO parameter for all RET antennas must be set to
DAISY_CHAIN, and the RET antennas are identified by serial numbers.
For the data configurations in the connection modes shown in Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-5, see
the following scenarios:
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: scenario 1 and 2 in section 8.4 Deployment.
l GBTS: scenario 1 and 2 in section 9.4 Deployment.
l Base station using ALD automatic deployment: scenario 1 or 4 in section 10.4
Deployment.

SingleRAN
Connection modes shown in Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-5 also apply to a multimode base
station with independent antennas. The configured RRUs/RFUs serve different modes.
The RET antenna data of a multimode base station must be configured only in a single mode.
For details about data configuration, see chapter 7 Engineering Guidelines (ALD Manual
Deployment on Multimode Base Station).
l In Figure 4-4, if RRU(1) is managed by the GBTS/eGBTS or eNodeB (the RET data is
configured on the GBTS/eGBTS or eNodeB side), the SCENARIO parameters must be
set to DAISY_CHAIN for RET antennas connected to RRU(1) and RRU(2).
l If RRU(1) is managed by the NodeB (the RET data is configured on the NodeB side),
the SCENARIO parameters must be set to DAISY_CHAIN or 2G_EXTENSION for
the RET antennas connected to RRU(1) and RRU(2), respectively.
Some RF modules, such as the RRU3942 and RRU3841, have four RF ports. These RF
modules have two or more RF ports to support RET functions in addition to the RETPORT.
For details, see Table 2-3. Two RF ports on these RF modules can be paired and connected to
one antenna to provide various transmit or receive functions. When the RRU3942 or
RRU3841 is used, you can refer to RRU3942 Hardware Description or RRU3841 Hardware
Description.
The RRU3278 has eight RF ports, which can be split into two groups and used for 2 four-
channel RRUs. After the split, the RCU of the antenna can be connected only through the
RETPORT. The RRU3278 can be used only in cascading scenarios because it has only one
RETPORT. For the connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT, see Figure 4-6.

SingleRAN
For the connections between the RF ports of the RRU3278 and the antenna, see RRU3278
Hardware Description.
The following description assumes that the RRU3942 uses a 2T4R configuration. "T" and "R"
indicate transmission and reception, respectively. RF ports ANT_A and ANT_C on the
RRU3942 are paired and connected to one antenna, and RF ports ANT_B and ANT_D are
paired and connected to the other antenna.
When the RRU3942 is installed less than 20 m away from RET antennas, the RRU3942 is
connected to the RET antennas through the RETPORT. The RET antennas are cascaded
because the RRU3942 has only one RETPORT, as shown in Figure 4-6.
Figure 4-7 shows how the RRU3942 and RET antennas are connected to provide the 2T4R
function when the RRU3942 is installed more than 20 m away from the RET antennas and the
RET antennas are centrally installed.

SingleRAN
In this connection mode, RF port ANT_A is the control port for the two RET antennas
connected to the RRU3942. For the data configuration for this connection mode, see scenario
2 in section 8.4 Deployment for an eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB or scenario 2 in section 9.4
Deployment for a GBTS.
Sector Splitting Scenario

The sector splitting scenario applies to UMTS only. In this scenario, the RRU or RFU is
connected to splitters and then RET antennas, as shown in Figure 4-8.

SingleRAN
Figure 4-8 Sector splitting scenario
In this scenario, the SCENARIO parameter for all RET antennas must be set to
SECTOR_SPLITTING, and the RET antennas are identified by serial numbers. For the data
configuration of this connection mode for an eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB, see scenario 2 in
section 8.4 Deployment. This connection mode does not apply to the GBTS.
GATM Scenario
The GSM Antenna and TMA Control module (GATM) scenario applies to the GBTS only. In
this scenario, a DRFU, which cannot provide OOK signals or support BT function, can be
connected to an RET antenna through a BT and SBT, as shown in Figure 4-9. The GATM
provides OOK signals and 12 V DC power for the BT. Then the BT combines OOK signals,
12 V DC power, and RF signals sent by the DRFU and sends the combined signals to the SBT
through feeders. The SBT splits the combined signals received into two links. RF signals are

SingleRAN
sent to the RET antenna on one link. On the other link, OOK signals are converted to RS485
control signals and 12 V DC power is forwarded to the RCU through an AISG multi-wire
cable.
Because of its hardware limitations, the GATM supports only RET antennas compatible with
AISG1.1 protocols and does not support RET antennas compatible with AISG2.0 protocols.
Figure 4-9 GATM scenario
For the data configuration for this connection mode, see scenario 5 in section 9.4
Deployment.
4.1.2 Operations on RET Antennas

The base station can perform operations, including configuration file loading, antenna
calibration, and downtilt setting, on each RET subunit separately.
l Configuration file loading

A configuration file describes the relationship between the RCU and the RET subunit
downtilt. The configuration file is provided by the RET antenna manufacturer. Some
RET antennas have been loaded with default configuration files before delivery. For
antennas without default configuration files, run the following command to load the
configuration files:
GBTS: LOD BTSRETCFGDATA. Before you run this command, run the DLD
BTSALDFILE command to download the configuration file from the file server to
the base station controller (BSC) operation and maintenance unit (OMU).

SingleRAN
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: DLD RETCFGDATA

Ensure that correct configuration files have been loaded to the RET antennas before
antenna calibration. If an incorrect configuration file is loaded, the RET antenna will
experience unexpected errors. In this case, you can run the DSP BTSRETSUBUNIT
(GBTS) or DSP RETSUBUNIT (eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB) command to query the name
of the last loaded configuration file and the load time. You are advised to load the
configuration file to the RET antennas of one or two base stations, and check whether the
actual downtilts are the same as the configured downtilts. If the downtilts are the same,
the configuration file is correct.
NOTE
Run the following command to query dynamic information about RET additional data:
GBTS: DSP BTSRETDEVICEDATA
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: DSP RETDEVICEDATA
If any information is incorrect in the command output, for example, the values of Max tilt and Min
tilt are NULL, no configuration file was loaded or the configuration file is lost.
l Antenna calibration
After an RET antenna is installed, run the following command to calibrate the RET
antenna:
GBTS: CLB BTSRET
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: CLB RET
During the calibration, the RCU adjusts the RET antenna within the downtilt range so
that the RET antenna operates properly. If the RET antenna is not calibrated, the base
station reports ALM-26753 RET Antenna Not Calibrated.
After the preceding calibration command is executed, the RET antenna downtilt will be
restored to the configured value if it has been configured on the base station side. If it has
not been configured, the RET antenna downtilt will be determined by the actual RET
antenna implementation.
NOTE
An RET antenna does not need to be calibrated again after it is reset or powered off.
l Downtilt setting
a. After the RET antenna is calibrated, run the following command to query the
supported downtilt range:
GBTS: DSP BTSRETDEVICEDATA
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: DSP RETDEVICEDATA
NOTE
The downtilt range of an RET antenna varies according to the manufacturer and model.
b. Run the following command to set an RET subunit downtilt:
GBTS: MOD BTSRETSUBUNIT
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: MOD RETSUBUNIT
Setting the downtilt of an RET subunit affects the coverage of the RET antenna. Set the
downtilt based on the engineering design.
The base station can perform operations on the RCU separately, including software
download and RCU reset.
l RCU software download
Run the following command to download the RCU software:

SingleRAN
GBTS: LOD BTSALDSW. Before you run this command, run the DLD
BTSALDFILE command to download the RCU software from the file server to the
BSC OMU.
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: DLD ALDSW
For details about the RCU software, see the documents provided by the RET antenna
manufacturer.
l RCU reset
Run the following command to reset the RCU:
GBTS: RST BTSALD
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: RST ALD
Resetting the RCU does not change the RET antenna downtilt.
4.2 TMA Functions
4.2.1 Connections Between the TMA, RRU/RFU, and RET

Antenna
If an RRU or RFU is to be connected to an RET antenna through a TMA, the RRU or RFU
control port must be connected to the TMA control port.
Connection to the RET Antenna Through the ANTENNAPORT (with a TMA)

A TMA is connected to an RRU or RFU and RET antenna, and is powered by the RRU or
RFU.
With the integrated SBT, the TMA splits combined signals from the RRUs or RFUs into two
links. RF signals are sent to the RET antenna on one link. On the other link, OOK signals are
converted to RS485 control signals and 12 V DC power is forwarded to the RCU through an
AISG multi-wire cable.
Figure 4-10 shows how an RRU or RFU with two RF ports is connected to the TMA and
RET antenna.

Figure 4-11 shows how two RF modules are cascaded and then connected to the TMA and
RET antenna. In this mode, RF ports ANT_A on the two RF modules are connected to the
TMA and RET antenna, and either RF port ANT_A can be the control port for the RET
antenna connected to the two RF modules.

When RRUs with four RF ports are connected to two antennas, two RF ports on these RRUs
can be paired and connected to one antenna. The following description assumes that the
RRU3942 uses a 2T4R configuration. RF ports ANT_A and ANT_C on the RRU3942 are
paired and connected to one antenna, and RF ports ANT_B and ANT_D are paired and
connected to the other antenna. Figure 4-12 shows how the RRU3942 is connected to the
TMA and RET antenna.

SingleRAN
Figure 4-12 RRU3942 (2T4R) connected to the TMA and RET antenna
In this connection mode, RF ports ANT_A and ANT_B are the control ports for Antenna(1)
and Antenna(2), respectively. For the data configurations in this connection mode, see the
following scenarios:

l Base station using ALD automatic deployment: scenario 7 in section 10.4 Deployment.
Connection to the RET Antenna Through the RETPORT (with a TMA)

This connection mode applies to RRUs without a BT, such as the RRU3004 for GSM,
RRU3801C (20 W) for UMTS, and RRU3220 for LTE. Without a BT, RF ports cannot

SingleRAN
provide 12 V DC power for antennas. In this case, connect the RETPORT on an RRU to an
external BT to provide power for antennas, as shown in Figure 4-13.
The signal transmission process is as follows:
1. The RRU supplies 12 V DC power and sends RS485 control signals to the external BT
through an AISG multi-wire cable.
2. The BT converts RS485 control signals to OOK signals, combines the OOK signals and
RF signals, transparently forwards 12 V DC power, and sends the combined signals to
the TMA.
3. The TMA splits the combined signals into two links. RF signals are sent to the RET
antenna on one link. On the other link, OOK signals are converted to RS485 control
signals and 12 V DC power is forwarded to the RCU through an AISG multi-wire cable.

Connection to the TMA Through the GATM

Connections between the GATM and TMA apply to the GBTS only. In this scenario, a DRFU
is connected to a TMA through a GATM and BT, as shown in Figure 4-14. The GATM feeds
12 V DC power to the BT. Then, the BT combines the OOK signals, 12 V DC power, and RF
signals and sends the combined signals to the TMA.
The GATM can supply power only to the connected TMA. The TMA provides the default
gains, not the configured gains. You need to configure parameters related to the power switch
and current alarm threshold for the port on the GATM connecting to the TMA. For details
about data preparation, see Table 9-7. Then, configure parameters related to the RX channel

SingleRAN
attenuation. For details about data preparation, see Table 9-5. RET data is not involved in this
connection mode.

The gain of the TMA with fixed gain is not configurable.
TMA gain and working mode are configurable.
l Setting TMA working mode

By default, the TMA is set to NORMAL working mode to ensure normal operation. If
you run the following command with the MODE parameter set to BYPASS, the TMA
serves as a straight-through feeder and does not amplify signals:
GBTS: MOD BTSTMASUBUNIT

The base station can perform operations on the TMA separately, including software download
and TMA reset.
l TMA software download
Run the following command to download the TMA software:
GBTS: LOD BTSALDSW. Before you run this command, run the DLD
BTSALDFILE command to download the TMA software from the file server to
the BSC OMU.

Resetting the TMA does not change the TMA gain and working mode.
4.3 SASU Functions
4.3.1 Connections Between the SASU, RRU/RFU, and RET

Antenna
Figure 4-15 shows how the SASU, RRUs/RFUs, and RET antenna are connected when
RRUs/RFUs for GSM (referred to as 2G) and UMTS (referred to as 3G) share one RET
antenna and the SASU is installed less than 20 m away from the RET antenna. With the
integrated SBT, the SASU splits combined 3G signals from the RRUs/RFUs into two links.
RF signals and 2G signals are combined and sent to the RET antenna on one link. On the
other link, OOK signals are converted to RS485 control signals and 12 V DC power is
forwarded to the RCU through an AISG multi-wire cable.

SingleRAN
Figure 4-15 SASU directly connected to the RET antenna
SASU data can be configured only on the NodeB side. Because the SASU is an active device,
you need to turn on the power switch for the 3G RRU control port on the NodeB side, and
specify current alarm thresholds. For connection mode in Figure 4-15, set the DCSWITCH
parameter for the SASU to OFF. Otherwise, the RET antenna will short-circuit. For the data
configuration for this connection mode, see scenario 5 in section 8.4 Deployment.
Figure 4-16 shows how the SASU, RRUs/RFUs, TMA, and RET antenna are connected
when the SASU is installed greater than 20 m away from the RET antenna. The SASU
combines 2G and 3G signals and sends the combined signals to the TMA. The TMA splits the
combined signals into two links. RF signals are sent to the RET antenna on one link. On the
other link, OOK signals are converted to RS485 control signals and 12 V DC power is
forwarded to the RCU through an AISG multi-wire cable.

SingleRAN
Figure 4-16 SASU connected to the TMA and RET antenna
In this connection mode, the DCSWITCH parameter for the SASU cannot be set to OFF
because the TMA is an active device. If the DCSWITCH parameter is set to UMTS, specify
the DCLOAD parameter for SASU subunits so that the TMA connected to the SASU can be
acknowledged by the base transceiver station (BTS). For the data configuration for this
connection mode, see scenario 6 in section 8.4 Deployment.
4.3.2 Operations on the SASU

The SASU DC power switch, gain, and working mode are configurable only on the NodeB
side.
l Setting the DC power switch
When the SASU is connected to the RET antenna through a TMA, run the MOD SASU
command with the DCSWITCH parameter set to any value except OFF. When the

SingleRAN
SASU is directly connected to the RET antenna, set the DCSWITCH parameter for the
SASU to OFF. Otherwise, the RET antenna will short-circuit.
l Setting SASU working mode
By default, the SASU is set to NORMAL working mode to ensure normal operation. If
you run the MOD SASUSUBUNIT command with the MODE parameter set to
BYPASS, the SASU serves as a straight-through feeder and does not amplify signals.
l Setting SASU gain
1. Run the DSP SASUDEVICEDATA command to query the value range of SASU gain.
2. Run the MOD SASUSUBUNIT command to set SASU subunit gain.
The base station can perform operations on the SASU separately, including software
download and SASU reset.
l SASU software download
Run the DLD ALDSW command to download the SASU software.
For details about the SASU software, see the documents provided by the SASU
manufacturer.
l SASU reset
Run the RST ALD command to reset the SASU.
Resetting the SASU does not change the SASU gain and working mode.
4.4 RAE Functions
4.4.1 Connections Between the RAE and RRU/RFU

When an RAE connects to RRUs/RFUs, only one AISU is installed for a sector, and other
connected RET devices are not equipped with the RAE. One RRU can control only one
AISU. The AISU must be installed on the antenna connected to the RRU, forming a control
link.

4.5 AAS Functions
4.5.1 Connections Between the AAS Module with Passive

Antennas, RRU/RFU, and BBU
An AAS module with passive antennas has two types of external ports: an RET port
(RETPORT) and an RF port (ANTENNAPORT). The ANTENNAPORT can be at the bottom
of the AU or on the AAPU. Some AAS modules, for example, the AAU3910, have AISG
ports that can be connected to RRUs or RFUs for the RET function. Table 2-8 lists the
capabilities of AAS modules to support the RET function.
Before setting the RET function, you must configure the AAS module. RETTYPE must be set
to SINGLE_RET. SCENARIO must be set to DAISY_CHAIN. You can determine which
antenna to use for the RET function according to the serial number of the integrated antenna.
If you need to use only one set of antennas for the RET function, set SCENARIO to
DAISY_CHAIN. In this case, specify the VENDORCODE and SERIALNO parameters
because the antennas in the AAS module are working in daisy chain mode. For the serial
numbers of the integrated antennas in the AAS module, see the hardware description of the
AAS module.
Scenario 1: Using the MU for the RET function on the AAS Module
As shown in Figure 4-23, RRUs or RFUs connect to an AAS module with passive antennas
through external ports on the AAS module. Choose an appropriate external port to connect the
RRU or RFU to the AAS module. The integrated RCU provides the RET function for the
AAS module with passive antennas and the RCU is controlled by the MU. In this scenario,
the RET function for the AAS module with passive antennas must be set by the mode that
manages the AAS module. For example, to enable GSM RRUs/RFUs to use the RET function
for the AAS module with passive antennas, the RET function must be set in the UMTS mode
that manages the AAS module with passive antennas.
Before setting the RET function, you must configure the AAS module. Compared with the
RET function on conventional antennas, the RET function on the AAS module with passive
antennas does not require you to configure power supply switches or current alarm thresholds.
Deployment.

Figure 4-23 Connections to the RRUs/RFUs and BBU (MU for RET function)
Scenario 2: Using the RRU/RFU for the RET function on the AAS Module
When the RET function for an AAS module with passive antennas is provided by an RRU or
RFU connecting to the AAS module, the connections between the RRU or RFU and the AAS
module are similar to the connections between the RRU or RFU and the conventional RET
antennas except for the AISG port configuration, as shown in Figure 4-24. In this scenario,
the AAS module functions as the conventional RET antennas. Therefore, the configuration
can be performed in the same way as that for conventional RET antennas.
For other data configurations,
l If the RRU is to use an RETPORT to send RET signals to the AAS module, see scenario
1 in section 8.4 Deployment for an eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB or scenario 1 in section 9.4
Deployment for a GBTS.
l If the RET function is provided by the RRU or RFU through an ANTENNAPORT, see
scenario 2 in section 8.4 Deployment for an eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB or scenario 2 in
section 9.4 Deployment for a GBTS.

SingleRAN
Figure 4-24 Connections to the RRUs/RFUs and BBU (RRU/RFU for RET function)
Scenario 3: Using the Active Module (RU) on the AAS for the RET function
When the RET function for an AAS module with passive antennas is controlled by the active
module on the AAS module:
l For the AAU3910, AAU3911, and AAU3961, the active module forwards the RET
signals received from the BBU to the RETPORT, as shown in Figure 4-25.
l For the AAU3920 and AAU3940, the active module forwards the RET signals received
from the BBU to the ANTENNAPORT and the port must be R0A, as shown in Figure
4-26.
In this case, the active module works as a conventional RET device and therefore
configurations on this active module are the same as those on a conventional RET device.
For other data configurations for this connection mode for an eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB, see
scenario 8 in section "8.4 Deployment."

4.5.2 Operations on AAS Modules
AAS Modules with Passive Antennas

Each RET subunit of the passive antennas in the AAS module functions as a single antenna
working in daisy chain mode.
l Scanning

SingleRAN
You can scan all the AAS modules connected to an RF module. When the RET function
for a specific AAS module is controlled by an RF module, the RET function for the
module cannot be scanned on or controlled by other RF modules that are also connected
to the AAS module.
If multiple RF modules share the AAS module, running the SCN ALD command may
fail to scan all the RET function controlled by each RF module at a time. In this case,
you can run the SCAN ADL command for each of the RF modules that control the RET
function for AAS modules that have not been scanned.
l Configuration file loading
Loading configuration files is not required because AAS modules with passive antennas
come with built-in configurations files. If ALM-26754 RET Antenna Data Loss is
reported, the configuration files have been lost. In such a case, you can run the DLD
RETCFGDATA command to reload configuration files for the AAS module. Note that
this command applies only to eGBTSs/NodeBs/eNodeBs.
l Antenna calibration
After an AAS module with passive antennas is installed, run the CLB RET command on
the eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB LMT to calibrate the antennas. During the calibration, RCUs
adjust the antennas within the downtilt range until the antennas operate properly. If the
calibration fails, ALM-26753 RET Antenna Not Calibrated is generated.
NOTE
After the AAS module is reset or powered off, it does not need to be calibrated again.
l Downtilt setting
After the AAS module is calibrated, run the DSP RETDEVICEDATA command on the
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB LMT to query the supported downtilt range. Then, run the
MOD RETSUBUNIT command to set the downtilts for RET subunits. Because setting
RET subunit downtilt affects the coverage of the related antennas, specify parameters
based on the engineering design.
NOTE
Each RET subunit supports a unique downtilt range.
In an AAS module with passive antennas, the base station can download software and reset
the RCU for each RCU separately.
l RCU software download
Run the DLD ALDSW command on the eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB LMT to download the
RCU software provided by Huawei. For details, see AAS-related documents provided by
Huawei.
l RCU reset
Run the RST ALD command on the eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB LMT to reset an RCU.
RCU reset does not change the antenna's downtilt.

7.4.2 Overall Process (RETs/TMAs/SASUs/RAEs)

Determine the location of the ALD control port on the RRU or RFU. The ALD control port
provides power and OOK signals for the ALD. You can locate the port based on the site's
cable connections.
Device data in a co-MPT multimode base station needs to be configured only once. For a co-
MPT multimode base station, you only need to determine which RRU/RFU port is the control
port for the ALD device and configure the power switch, current threshold and ALD data
once.
For a separate-MPT base station, the RRU or RFU can be managed by a single mode or
multiple modes. Determine the mode that manages the RRU or RFU and configure all data for
the ALD powered by this RRU or RFU in this mode. This procedure involves the following
two scenarios:
NOTE
MPT is short for main processing and transmission unit.
Scenario 1: RRU/RFU Is Managed by a Single Mode

The RRU or RFU is working in a single-mode or multimode base station, and provides power
and OOK signals for the ALD.
Determine the mode that manages the RRU or RFU and configure all ALD data in this mode.
Scenario 2: RRU/RFU Is Managed by Multiple Modes

The RRU or RFU is working in a multimode base station, and provides power and OOK
signals for the ALD.
Parameters related to the ALD control port in this scenario are RF module common
parameters. During the data preparation, initial configuration, and feature reconfiguration, the
common parameters must be set to consistent values for all modes that manage the RRU or
RFU. Table 7-2 lists the common ALD parameters for RF modules in each mode.

RRU/R Antenna Attenuation If no TMA is used, set this parameter to

channel Factor If a 12 dB TMA is used, set this
attenuati parameter to a value within the range
on from 4 dB to 11 dB.
If a 24 dB TMA is used, set this
parameter to a value within the range
from 11 dB to 22 dB.
For a separate-MPT base station, each
of these parameters must be set to the
same value in all modes.
NOTE
When an RF port except ANT_A is used as a control port, common ALD parameters are named in the
following ways:
l For a GBTS, common ALD parameters are named by analogy based on Table 7-2. For example,
when ANT_B is used as the control port, ANT_B ALD Power Switch is the correct parameter name
l For an eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, or co-MPT base station, common ALD parameters are named in
the same way as those listed in Table 7-2.
Other ALD-related parameters, except the RF module common parameters, must be set only
in one mode of the separate-MPT base station. Choose one from the modes that manage the

RRU or RFU providing power and OOK signals for the ALD. Then, configure all data for the
ALD only in this mode.
NOTE
l The mode in which the other ALD-related parameters are set must be the same in the data
preparation, initial configuration, activation observation, and reconfiguration.
l Only one maintenance link can be established between the RRU or RFU and the ALDs. Therefore,
ALD data can be configured only in one mode of a multimode base station. If ALD data is
configured in two modes in this multimode base station, unexpected faults will occur. For example,
ALDs cannot be scanned, or ALM-26541 ALD Maintenance Link Failure is reported. If such faults
occur, remove the ALD data configuration in both modes, and scan and configure the ALDs in the
correct mode. If ALDs cannot be scanned after the ALD data configuration is removed, turn off the
power switches in both modes, and set the power switches and current alarm thresholds in both
modes again.
7.4.3 Overall Process (AAS Modules)

Device data in a co-MPT multimode base station needs to be configured only once. For a co-
MPT multimode base station using AAS modules with passive antennas, you only need to
configure ALD data only once.
For a separate-MPT base station using AAS modules, configure ALD data based on the site's
cable connections. The RET data must be configured only on one side.
When an AAS module with passive antennas does not have an AISG port, the RET function
on the AAS module is configured on and managed by the mode managing the AAS module.
Therefore, determine the managing mode first. If the AAS module is managed by multiple
modes, select one of them.
When the AAS module has an AISG port, the RET function on the AAS module with passive
antennas is configured on and managed by the mode that manages AAS module (Method 1).
Alternatively, the RET function is configured on the RRU or RFU that provides power and
OOK signals for the AAS module with passive antennas (Method 2). When the site's cable
connections support both methods, you can use only one method to configure the RET
function because faults may occur if you choose both methods.
l If method 1 is used, the configuration for the RET function is same as that for scenario in
which the AAS module does not have an AISG port.
l If method 2 is used, the configuration for the RET function is same as that for the RET
antennas. For details, see section 7.4.2 Overall Process (RETs/TMAs/SASUs/RAEs).
7.4.4 Data Preparation

For a co-MPT base station, data preparation is the same as that for an eGBTS, NodeB, or
eNodeB. For details, see section 8.4.2 Data Preparation.
For a separate-MPT base station, the data preparation procedure is detailed in the following
three scenarios. Note that the RRU or RFU provides power and OOK signals for the ALD in
scenarios 1 and 2.

In this scenario, the RRU or RFU provides power and OOK signals for the ALD.
This scenario does not involve RF module common parameters. Determine the mode that
manages the RRU or RFU according to 7.4.2 Overall Process (RETs/TMAs/SASUs/RAEs)

and then prepare all ALD data in the mode. For details, see the following data preparation
sections:
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: section 8.4.2 Data Preparation.
l GBTS: section 9.4.2 Data Preparation.

Prepare the RF module common parameters on the sides of all the modes that manage the
RRU or RFU. For details, see Table 7-2.
Select one of the modes that manage the RRN or RFU according to 7.4.2 Overall Process
(RETs/TMAs/SASUs/RAEs) and then prepare other ALD parameters except the RF module
common parameters in this mode. For details, see the following data preparation sections:
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: section 8.4.2 Data Preparation.
l GBTS: section 9.4.2 Data Preparation.
Scenario 3: AAS Modules Are Used

Determine the mode in which the RET function is set for the AAS module according to
section 7.4.3 Overall Process (AAS Modules). The data preparation for the mode is the same
as that for a single-mode base station.
If an AAS module with passive antennas is used, see scenario 1, 2, 7, or 8 in section 8.4.2
Data Preparation.
7.4.5 Initial Configuration

For a co-MPT base station, initial configuration is the same that for an eGBTS, NodeB, or
eNodeB. For details, see section 8.4.4 Initial Configuration on the GUI or 8.4.5 Initial
Configuration on a Single Base Station Using MML Commands.
For a separate-MPT base station, initial configurations differ as follows:

The RRU or RFU is working in a single-mode or multimode base station, and provides power
and OOK signals for the ALD.
Determine the mode that manages the RRU or RFU and configure all data for the ALD
powered by this RRU or RFU in this mode. For details, see the following initial configuration
sections:
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: sections 8.4.4 Initial Configuration on the GUI and 8.4.5
Initial Configuration on a Single Base Station Using MML Commands.
l GBTS: sections 9.4.4 Initial Configuration on the GUI and 9.4.5 Initial

The RRU or RFU is working in a multimode base station, and provides power and OOK
signals for the ALD.

Before you set other ALD-related parameters, set the RF module common parameters listed in
Table 7-2 to consistent values for all modes that manage the RRU or RFU. If ALD power
supply switches are turned on for the modes managing the RRU or RFU and current alarm
threshold configurations are inconsistent for these modes, ALM-26272 Inter-System RF Unit
Parameter Settings Conflict will be reported.
Run the following commands to set RF module common parameters:
l GBTS: SET BTSRXUBP

l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: MOD RETPORT/MOD ANTENNAPORT
NOTE
The RRU or RFU managed by multiple modes can supply power to ALDs only if the ALD power
switches are turned on for all modes that manage the multi-mode RRU or RFU. The ALD can be
scanned only after the power supply is normal.
The RETPORT and ANTENNAPORT switches on one RRU cannot be turned on simultaneously.
Then, select one of the modes that manage the RRU or RFU and set the other ALD-related
parameters in this mode. For example, if the RRU or RFU is managed by the GBTS and
NodeB, set the other ALD-related parameters on the GBTS or NodeB side. The configuration
procedure is the same as that for the related mode.
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: sections 8.4.4 Initial Configuration on the GUI and 8.4.5

Initial Configuration on a Single Base Station Using MML Commands.
l GBTS: sections 9.4.4 Initial Configuration on the GUI and 9.4.5 Initial

Determine the mode in which the RET function is configured in the AAS module based on
section 7.4.3 Overall Process (AAS Modules) and then perform initial configuration in this
mode accordingly.
You can initially configure an AAS module in the following ways:
l To use a graphical user interface (GUI) to configure an AAS module, see section 8.4.4
Initial Configuration on the GUI.
l To use man-machine language (MML) commands to configure an AAS module with
passive antennas, see scenario 1, 2, 7, or 8 in section 8.4.5 Initial Configuration on a
Single Base Station Using MML Commands.
7.4.6 Commissioning
For a co-MPT base station, the commissioning procedure is the same as that for an eGBTS,
NodeB, or eNodeB. For details, see section 8.4.6 Commissioning.
For a separate-MPT base station, this procedure does not involve the RF module command
parameters. Determine the mode for configuring the ALD according to section 7.4.2 Overall
Process (RETs/TMAs/SASUs/RAEs) and perform this procedure accordingly. For details,
see the following sections:
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: section 8.4.6 Commissioning.

l GBTS: section 9.4.6 Commissioning.

7.4.7 Activation Observation

For a co-MPT base station, the active observation procedure is the same as that for an eGBTS,
NodeB, or eNodeB. For details, see section 8.4.7 Activation Observation.
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: section 8.4.7 Activation Observation.
l GBTS: section 9.4.7 Activation Observation.
7.4.8 Deactivation

NodeB, or eNodeB. For details, see section 8.4.8 Deactivation.
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: section 8.4.8 Deactivation.
l GBTS: section 9.4.8 Deactivation.
7.4.9 Reconfiguration
For a co-MPT base station, the reconfiguration procedure is the same as that for an eGBTS,
NodeB, or eNodeB. For details, see section 8.4.9 Reconfiguration.
For a separate-MPT base station, reconfigurations differ as follows:

cable connections.
This scenario does not involve RF module common parameters. Determine the mode that
manages the RRU or RFU based on section 7.4.2 Overall Process (RETs/TMAs/SASUs/
RAEs) and reconfigure ALD data in this mode. For details, see the following reconfiguration
sections:
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB/co-MPT base station: section 8.4.9 Reconfiguration.
l GBTS: section 9.4.9 Reconfiguration.

If the RF module common parameters listed in Table 7-2 need to be reconfigured, reconfigure
the parameters consistently for all modes that manage the RRU or RFU.

Run the following commands to set RF module common parameters:

l GBTS: SET BTSRXUBP
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: MOD RETPORT/MOD ANTENNAPORT
If other ALD-related parameters except the RF module common parameters need to be
reconfigured, determine the mode and reconfigure ALD data on one of the modes managing
the RRU or RFU. For details, see the following reconfiguration sections:
l eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB: section 8.4.9 Reconfiguration.
l GBTS: section 9.4.9 Reconfiguration.

In this scenario, a base station uses the AAS module.
Determine the mode that manages the RRU or RFU based on section 7.4.3 Overall Process

Introduction
This section includes only key parameters, not parameters in all scenarios.
Data sources of key parameters include the following:
l Radio network planning (internal planning): The parameter value comes from the radio
network plan, facilitating resource management on the current NE.

l Radio network planning (negotiated with the peer): The parameter value comes from the
radio network plan. The NE negotiates this value with the peer device to ensure
successful interworking.
l Transport network planning (internal planning): The parameter value comes from the
transport network plan, facilitating resource management on the current NE.
l Transport network planning (negotiated with the peer): The parameter value comes from
the transport network plan. The NE negotiates this value with the peer device to ensure
successful interworking.
l Equipment planning: The parameter value comes from the equipment plan.
l Engineering design: The parameter value comes from the algorithm or function design.
l Default/recommended value: The parameter uses the default or recommended value, and
the recommended value is preferential. The default or recommended value can be used in
most scenarios and adjusted for a specific scenario.
l N/A: The parameter value is not required.
ALD data configuration varies by scenario, depending on:
l The type of the RRU, RFU or AAS port through which control signals are sent to an
RET antenna
l Whether you use a TMA/RAE
l Whether the NodeB supports SASUs
The scenarios are as follows:
l Scenario 1: connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT

l Scenario 2: connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT
l Scenario 3: connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT (with a TMA)
l Scenario 4: connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT (with a TMA)
l Scenario 5: connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT (with an
SASU)
l Scenario 6: connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT (with an
SASU and a TMA)
l Scenario 7: connection to the AAS module with passive antennas (MU)
l Scenario 8: connection to the AAS module with passive antennas (RU)
l Scenario 9: connection to the RAE through the RETPORT

l Scenario 10: connection to the RAE through the RETPORT (with an RET antenna)
l Scenario 11: connection to the RAE through the ANTENNAPORT
l Scenario 12: connection the RAE through the ANTENNAPORT (with an RET antenna)
l Scenario 13: connection to the RAE through the ANTENNAPORT (with a TMA)
l Scenario 14: connection to the RAE through the ANTENNAPORT (with an RET
antenna and a TMA)
Generic Data
Before configuring ALD data, collect the following generic data:

l Configuration file for the RET antenna: Used to determine whether to update the
configuration file. Obtain the configuration file from the RET antenna manufacturer
based on the RCU and antenna models.
l Software of the RET antenna, TMA, RAE, and SASU: Used to determine whether to
update the software. If an update is required, obtain the software from the RET antenna,
TMA, and SASU manufacturers.
l RET antenna connections: Used to determine whether RET antennas are connected in a
regular scenario. If the RET antennas are not connected in a regular scenario, record
serial numbers of RET antennas and the mapping between the RET antennas and the
base station/sectors. The serial numbers are printed on labels of the RET antennas.
l Connections between the RET antenna, TMA, RAE, SASU, and RRU/RFU: Used to
determine the specific connections between these devices (such as the type of RRU or
RFU port through which control signals are sent to an RET antenna) and the connections
between each antenna subunit and the RRU or RFU (if multiple antennas are used)
l Current alarm thresholds for the RET antenna, TMA, RAE, and SASU, which are
provided in the related specifications.
Connections between the AAS module and RRU/RFU (only when an AAS module with
passive antennas is used): Used to determine whether the RET function for the AAS module
is set through the configured MU or the RRU/RFU connecting to the AAS module and to
which integrated passive antenna the RRU or RFU is connected
NOTE
It is recommended that you obtain the basic information about the RET antenna, TMA, RAE, and SASU
at the site, including the antenna model, RCU model, antenna type (single-antenna or multi-antenna),
number of subunits, manufacturer code, and serial number. In a regular scenario, you can run the

8.4.3 Precautions
This section describes precautions of configuring ALD data, running a command for scanning
ALDs, setting the current alarm threshold type for ALD data.
l Pay attention to the following restrictions when configuring ALD data:
The RETPORT and ANTENNAPORT switches on one RRU cannot be turned on
simultaneously.
ALD scanning, calibration, downtilt setting, software download, and configuration
file download cannot be performed simultaneously on ALDs.
The common TMA does not support the AISG protocol. To configure a common
TMA for an eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB, run the MOD ANTENNAPORT command
on the NodeB or eNodeB LMT to turn on the power switch and set current alarm
thresholds. (For data preparation details, see Table 8-6.) Then, run the MOD

RXBRANCH command to configure the RX channel attenuation based on the

engineering design. (For data preparation details, see Table 8-9.)
The AISG1.1-based twin TMAs consist of two internal TMAs and perform the
same functions as the two subunits of an AISG2.0-based TMA. The AISG1.1-based
twin TMAs can be configured as two devices, each configured with one subunit. In
this case, batch loading of the TMA software may fail on one of the devices. The
AISG1.1-based twin TMAs can also be configured as one device, which is
configured with two subunits. In this case, the serial number cannot be configured
for the TMA. Otherwise, only one subunit is operational. When an RRU with four
ports is connected to multiple TMAs, the twin TMAs must be configured as two
devices and each configured with one subunit if the AISG1.1-based twin TMAs are
used.
ALDs are automatically scanned when an RET antenna, TMA or RAE is added.
ALDs are automatically scanned after an RRU or RFU is reset.
l Pay attention to the following restrictions when scanning ALDs:
ALDs are scanned based on control link connections. The scanned result shows the
ALDs physically connected to the base station, which is not affected by ALD data
configuration.
ALDs cannot be scanned if ALD control links are faulty.
After subunits are added to an AISG1.1-based TMA, all TMA subunits start to
work only after you run the SCN ALD command.
If the antenna is a passive antenna and multiple RF modules share the antenna, there
is a possibility that the RET can be found for only one RF module when you run the
SCN ALD command to scan RETs for these RF modules. In this scenario, you can
run this command separately for the RF module for which the RET cannot be
found.
l Use the values shown in Table 8-19 and Table 8-20 to set the current alarm threshold
type for the control port.

Set the THRESHOLDTYPE parameter to UER_SELF_DEFINE in any of the

following scenarios:
RET antennas are connected in a non-regular scenario.
A smart TMA is used as a common TMA.
The configured ALD model is not recommended by Huawei.
An SASU/RAE is used.
When the THRESHOLDTYPE parameter is set to UER_SELF_DEFINE, set current
alarm thresholds based on the actual ALD type. Pay attention to the following
restrictions:
User-defined current alarm thresholds must meet the requirements: UOTHD <
UCTHD < OCTHD < OOTHD.

Generally, the UOTHD parameter is set to 20% to 30% of the device rated
operating current, and the UCTHD parameter is set to about 20 mA greater than the
UOTHD parameter. The OOTHD parameter is set to 150% to 200% of the device
rated operating current, and the OCTHD parameter is set to about 50 mA less than
the OOTHD parameter.
If RET antennas are connected in a non-regular scenario, the UOTHD parameter is
set to 20% to 30% of the total rated current of all ALDs controlled by the RRU. The
OOTHD parameter is set to 150% to 200% of the total rated current of all ALDs
controlled by the RRU.
If the configured ALD model is not recommended by Huawei, the UOTHD
parameter is set to 20% to 30% of the total rated current of all ALDs controlled by
the RRU. The OOTHD parameter is set to 150% to 200% of the total rated current
of all ALDs controlled by the RRU.
When a base station uses an AAS module with passive antennas and the RCU integrated
in the AAS module is controlled by the RRU or RFU connecting to the AAS module, set
the THRESHOLDTYPE parameter as follows:
If the control port is an RETPORT on the RRU or RFU, set this parameter to a
value corresponding to RET_ONLY_MULTICORE.
If the control port is an ANTENNAPORT on the RRU or RFU, set this parameter to
a value corresponding to RET_ONLY_COAXIAL.

Introduction
This section includes only key parameters, not parameters in all scenarios.
ALD data configuration varies according to scenarios. Different scenarios vary when control
signals are sent to an RET antenna through different RRU or RFU ports and when a TMA is
used.
The scenarios are as follows:

l Scenario 1: connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT

l Scenario 2: connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT
l Scenario 3: connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT (with a TMA)
l Scenario 4: connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT (with a TMA)
l Scenario 5: connection to the RET antenna through the GATM

9.4.3 Precautions
Section 8.4.3 Precautions describes the common precautions for GBTS and eGBTS/NodeB/
eNodeB.
The common TMA does not support the AISG protocol. To configure a common TMA, you
only need to run the SET BTSRXUBP command to turn on the power switch, set current
alarm thresholds, and configure the RX channel attenuation based on the network plan. For
data preparation details for turning on the power switch and setting the current alarm
thresholds, see Table 9-3. For data preparation details for configuring the RX channel
attenuation, see Table 9-5.
After subunits are added to an AISG1.1-based TMA, all TMA subunits start to work only
after you run the STR BTSALDSCAN command.
Use the values provided in Table 9-9 and Table 9-10 to set the current alarm threshold type
for the control port.

When the current alarm threshold type is user-defined, set current alarm thresholds based on
the actual ALD type. Pay attention to the following restrictions:
l User-defined current alarm thresholds must meet the requirements: Under Current Occur
Threshold < Under Current Clear Threshold < Over Current Clear Threshold < Over
Current Occur Threshold.
l Generally, the Under Current Occur Threshold is set to 20% to 30% of the device rated
operating current, and the Under Current Clear Threshold is set to about 20 mA greater
than the Under Current Occur Threshold. The Over Current Occur Threshold is set to
150% to 200% of the device rated operating current, and the Over Current Clear
Threshold is set to about 50 mA less than the Over Current Occur Threshold.
l If RET antennas are connected in a non-regular scenario, the Under Current Occur
Threshold is set to 20% to 30% of the total rated current of all ALDs controlled by the
RRU. The Over Current Occur Threshold is set to a value that is 150% to 200% of the
total rated current of all ALDs controlled by the RRU.
l If the configured ALD model is not recommended by Huawei, the Under Current Occur
Threshold is set to 20% to 30% of the total rated current of all ALDs controlled by the
RRU. The Over Current Occur Threshold is set to 150% to 200% of the total rated
current of all ALDs controlled by the RRU.
l There are three user-define types for GBTSs: UER_SELF_DEFINE1,
UER_SELF_DEFINE2, and UER_SELF_DEFINE3. Generally, the value is
UER_SELF_DEFINE1.

Automatic Deployment)
10.1 When to Use ALD Automatic Deployment

It is recommended that ALD Automatic Deployment be used when ALDs have been installed
and the ALDs comply with AISG protocols. The AISG protocol has two versions, AISG v1.1
and AISG v2.0. Both are supported in SRAN9.0 and later.
ALD automatic deployment applies to RETs and TMAs but not SASUs or AAS modules. In
addition, ALD automatic deployment is not supported in GATM scenarios.

10.4.2 Requirements
License
For details, see 7.4.1 Requirements.
Base Station
Base stations must have been deployed and commissioned before ALD automatic
deployment.

Overview
In ALD automatic deployment, the system automatically performs initial configuration for
most ALD data, as described in section 10.8 Appendix: ALD Automatic Configuration
Process. Only a small amount of ALD data needs to be manually modified or added. The
ALD data that needs manual operation varies depending on the following:
l Number of RET subunits
l Cascading of RET antennas

SingleRAN
l Number of TMA subunits

l Connections between the TMA and RRU/RFU
The related scenarios are as follows:
l Scenario 1: Single-antenna RET antenna not in daisy chain mode (see Figure 4-1)
l Scenario 2: AISG v2.0-based TMA connected to the RRU/RFU with two RF ports (one
TMA with two TMA subunits) (see Figure 4-10)
l Scenario 3: Single-antenna RET antenna in daisy chain mode (see Figure 4-4)
l Scenario 4: Multi-antenna RET antenna (see Figure 4-1)
l Scenario 5: AISG v1.1-based TMA (two TMAs, each with two TMA subunits)
l Scenario 6: TMA connected to two cascaded RRUs or RFUs (see Figure 4-11)
l Scenario 7: TMA connected to the RRU with four RF ports (see Figure 4-12)
NOTE
In scenario 7, if the RRU with four RF ports is connected to two RET antennas, the TMA and RET
antenna on the RF port ANT_A connecting to the control port for the RET antenna can be automatically
deployed, but the TMA and RET antenna on the RF port ANT_B connecting to the control port for the
RET antenna cannot be automatically deployed. For details about the data configurations, see scenario 3
in section 7.4 "Deploying ALD Management" or scenario 3 in section 8.4 "Deploying ALD
Management."
Obtain an RET antenna configuration file from the RET antenna manufacturer in advance
because the configuration file may be required for commissioning an ALD after initial
configuration is complete.
Manually Configured Data

After ALD automatic configuration is complete, manually modify and add required ALD
data, which must be obtained and recorded locally on the base station.

Multimode Base Station ALD Automatic Configuration

If an RRU or RFU connected to ALDs works in multiple modes, the system uses the
following rules when implementing ALD automatic deployment:
l Parameters related to the ALD power switch and RX channel attenuation of the RRU or
RFU must be set to the same values in modes that manage the RRU or RFU.
l ALD parameters other than the preceding ones must be configured only in one of all
modes that manage the RRU or RFU.
The mode can be selected on the U2000 AMS client by choosing Configuration > MBTS
Management > MBTS Priority Settings. A mode of a higher priority is preferred.
Therefore, you need to set mode priorities before ALD automatic deployment.
