CPRI MUX (LampSite) Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
The CPRI MUX feature enables data transmission of multiple modes (such as UMTS, and
LTE) on a common public radio interface (CPRI) port.
Figure 2-1 shows the working principle of CPRI MUX. A multimode RF unit is connected to
a single-mode or multimode(1) baseband processing unit (BBP)/interface board through CPRI
connection. Another single-mode or multimode(1) BBP/interface board is connected to the
preceding BBP/interface board through the BBU backplane and indirectly communicates with
the multimode RF unit.
The BBP/interface board that is directly connected to the multimode RF unit is called the
converging board, and the corresponding mode is called the converging party. The BBP/
interface board that is indirectly connected to the multimode RF unit is called the converged
board, and the corresponding mode is called the converged party.
In Figure 2-1, mode A is the converged party and mode B is the converging party.
Figure 2-1 Working principle of CPRI MUX
NOTE
In the LampSite solution, a multimode RF unit indicates a combination of the RHUB and pRRU.

SingleRAN
CPRI MUX (LampSite) Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2.2 Benefits
This feature provides the following benefits:
l Reduced costs on optical modules and fiber optic cables for newly deployed multimode
base stations: Multiple modes can use a CPRI port to transmit data, reducing the number
of required optical modules and fiber optic cables considerably.
l Low engineering costs and short service interruption duration in refarming scenarios: A
multimode RF unit uses a single CPRI cable at the initial phase. CPRI MUX enables
newly deployed modes to reuse the existing multimode RF unit and CPRI cable in
refarming scenarios.
l Guaranteed coverage for cascaded multimode RF units: CPRI MUX allows multimode
RF units to be cascaded to ensure indoor coverage of different floors or areas. The
LampSite solution supports only RHUB cascading and does not support pRRU
cascading.

3.1 BBU3900 Boards Supporting CPRI MUX

Co-MPT Scenarios
In co-MPT scenarios, either or both of UMTS and LTE can serve as the converging party or
converged party.
A new feature is introduced in SRAN11.0, enabling LTE FDD and LTE TDD to use the same
MPT board.
Both UL and FT support the co-MPT scenarios in SRAN11.0.
Table 3-1 lists BBU3900 boards that support the CPRI MUX feature in a co-MPT multimode
base station and constraints on the slots of the converging and converged boards.

UBBPd/e_L
FT LBBPd, Slot 2 or 3 A UBBPd/e_Ux must be

UBBPd/e_L configured in slot 2 or 3.
NOTE
If a baseband processing board is named UBBPd/e_A/B/C, "A", "B", "C" indicates the mode whose
baseband resources are configured on this board, baseband resources of different modes are isolated by
"/". For example, UBBPd/e_U/L indicates a UBBPd/e configured with UMTS baseband resources, LTE
baseband resources.
Separate-MPT Scenarios
In separate-MPT scenarios, only UMTS and LTE can serve as the converging party.
SRAN11.0 allows LTE FDD and LTE TDD to use the same MPT board, so that UMTS and
FDD+TDD can be applied to a separate-MPT multimode base station in SRAN11.0.
Table 3-2 lists BBU3900 boards that support the CPRI MUX feature in a separate-MPT
multimode base station and constraints on the slots of the converging and converged boards.

Restrictions on Slot Cabling

Restrictions on slot cabling are imposed to maximize the utilization of baseband resources
when the network uses CPRI MUX. Following these restrictions, operators do not need to
adjust the connections of boards or fiber optic cables in future capacity expansion (for
example, capacity expansion from UMTS Only or LTE Only to UMTS+LTE).
l If a UBBPd/e is to be installed with a WBBPf or LBBPd, install the UBBPd/e in slot 2 or
3 and the LBBPd3 in slot 1. It is recommended that the fiber optic cables be connected to
slot 3 of the UBBPd/e.
l If an LBBPd1 or LBBPd2 is to be installed with an LBBPd3, install the LBBPd3
preferentially in a switching slot(such as slot3) or slot1. It is recommended that the fiber
optic cables be connected to slot 3.
l If a WBBPf3 or WBBPf4 is to be installed with an LBBPd1, LBBPd2, or LBBPd3,
install them in slots 2 and 3, which are switching slots. Install the LBBPd3 preferentially
in slot 3 or 1. It is recommended that the fiber optic cables be connected to slot 3.
l In UMTS Only scenarios, the fiber optic cables can be connected to slots 2 and 3. It is
recommended that the fiber optic cables be connected to slot 3. Do not connect the fiber
optic cables to other slots to prevent cable adjustment in future capacity expansion from
UMTS Only to UMTS+LTE.
l In LTE Only scenarios, the fiber optic cables can be connected to slots 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and
5. It is recommended that the fiber optic cables be connected to slot 3 (preferred) and slot
2. Do not connect the fiber optic cables to other slots to prevent cable adjustment in
future capacity expansion from LTE Only to UMTS+LTE.
l In UMTS+LTE scenarios, the fiber optic cables can be connected only to slots 2 and 3. It
is recommended that the fiber optic cables be connected to slot 3.

Restrictions on Slot Cabling

Restrictions on slot cabling are imposed to maximize the utilization of baseband resources
when the network uses CPRI MUX. Following these restrictions, operators do not need to
adjust the connections of boards or fiber optic cables in future capacity expansion (for
example, capacity expansion from UMTS Only or LTE Only to UMTS+LTE).
l In the current release, the BBU3910 supports only the UBBPd serving as the baseband
processing unit. The UBBPd can be installed in any slot. In separate-MPT scenarios, you
are advised to install the baseband processing units of the same radio access technology
in slots 2 and 3 so that the fiber optic cables can be connected to the two slots to support
UMTS and LTE in future capacity expansion. In co-MPT scenarios, there are no such
restrictions.
l In UMTS Only scenarios, the fiber optic cables can be connected to slots 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,
and 5. It is recommended that the fiber optic cables be connected to slot 3 (preferred) and
slot 2. Do not connect the fiber optic cables to other slots to prevent cable adjustment in
future capacity expansion from UMTS Only to UMTS+LTE.
l In LTE Only scenarios, the fiber optic cables can be connected to slots 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and
5. It is recommended that the fiber optic cables be connected to slot 3 (preferred) and slot
2. Do not connect the fiber optic cables to other slots to prevent cable adjustment in
future capacity expansion from LTE Only to UMTS+LTE.

NOTE
l The converging capabilities of a CPRI link or a board and the CPRI link rate refer to those of the
converging party.
l In the LampSite solution, the CPRI line rate of 4.9 Gbit/s or 9.8 Gbit/s is recommended.
l The capabilities of the converging board cannot exceed the maximum capacity specifications of a
site. For the maximum capacity specifications of a site, see Product Specifications > Technical
Specifications of the BBU3900 > Capacity Specifications in DBS3900 LampSite Technical
Description.
l Converging capabilities in Table 6-1 apply to common cells. For the impact of different features on
cell capacity, see the corresponding feature parameter description.
l Table 6-1 lists the number of UMTS cells supported when the antenna capability is 1T2R.
l Table 6-1 lists the number of LTE 20 MHz cells supported in the 2T2R antenna configuration, 20
MHz cell bandwidth, and 2:1 compression configuration for CPRI bandwidth.
l Table 6-1 lists the number of LTE 10 MHz cells supported in the 2T2R antenna configuration, 10
MHz cell bandwidth, and 3:2 compression configuration for CPRI bandwidth.
l Table 6-1 lists the converging capability of the LBBPd extended board at 9.8 Gbit/s in separate-
MPT mode when the LBBPd board enables the extended mode. CPRI extension mode is enabled
through CPRIEX in the MOD BBP or LST BBP command. CPRI extension mode only affects the
bandwidth specifications of the LBBPd at 9.8 Gbit/s in CPRI compression mode. For details, see
BBU Hardware Description > BBU3900 and BBU3910 Hardware Description > BBU3900 and
BBU3910 Boards > LBBP in 3900 Series Base Station Product Documentation.
l The WBBPf3 board supports CPRI line rates of 4.9 Gbit/s, 6.144 Gbit/s, and 9.8 Gbit/s, but the
RHUB does not support 6.144 Gbit/s. Table 6-1 does not list the CPRI line rate of 6.144 Gbit/s for
the WBBPf3 board because this rate is not applicable when the WBBPf3 board is connected to the
RHUB.
l In separate-MPT scenarios, the LBBPd board supports CPRI extension mode. In CPRI extension
mode, LTE bandwidth compression must be used. For example, a 5 MHz or 10 MHz bandwidth uses
3:2 compression and a 15 MHz or 20 MHz bandwidth uses 2:1 compression for LTE cells.
l In separate-MPT scenarios, when the LBBPd board at a CPRI line rate of 9.8 Gbit/s does not enable
CPRI extension mode, LTE bandwidth compression and non-compression cannot be configured on
the same CPRI link.
l In co-MPT scenarios, the LBBPd board does not support CPRI extension mode.
l LTE in Table 6-1 supports TDD, FDD, and FDD+TDD. Note that LTE TDD 5 MHz does not
support bandwidth compression but LTE FDD 5 MHz supports 3:2 bandwidth compression.
Bandwidth combinations in this table do not support LTE TDD 5 MHz. Table 6-2 lists bandwidth
combinations for LTE TDD 5 MHz.
l "With different LTE bandwidths" in the table indicates that an LTE cell of a smaller bandwidth exists
in addition to the bandwidths specified in a combination. In the combination of 6 x LTE 20 MHz +
UMTS 0 x cell (with different LTE bandwidths), an LTE cell of 10 MHz or 5 MHz exists in addition
to at least one 20 MHz bandwidth specified in the combination. Unless otherwise stated, a
combination supports different LTE bandwidths. LampSite supports only LTE cells of 5 MHz or
higher. Therefore, LTE 5 MHz in the combinations does not include other bandwidths.

SingleRAN
Capacity specifications for each mode with different configurations are calculated as follows:
l UMTS
The number of cells supported when the antenna capability is 1T1R is the same as
that supported when the antenna capability is 2T2R.
The antenna capability is inversely proportional to the number of cells. For
example, the number of cells supported when the antenna capability is 1T1R is
twice that supported when the antenna capability is 2T2R.
l LTE
When LTE cells have the same antenna capability and CPRI line rate, the number of
5 MHz or 10 MHz cells supported is inversely proportional to the bandwidth of
cells. For example, the number of cells supported by a 5 MHz cell is twice that
supported by a 10 MHz cell. LTE 5 MHz cells and 10 MHz cells use the same
compression configuration 3:2.
When LTE cells have the same antenna capability and CPRI line rate, 15- and 20-
MHz cells support the same number of cells.
When LTE cells have the same bandwidth, the number of cells supported by 1T2R
and 2T2R antennas is the same.

applied: 2T2R antenna configuration, 20 MHz cell bandwidth, and CPRI bandwidth in non-
compression only mode or mode coexistence of non-compression and 2:1 compression. Unless
otherwise stated for the LTE 20 MHz cells, non-compression coexists with 2:1 compression. If the
CPRI line rate of the WBBPf/LBBPd board is 9.8 Gbit/s, mode coexistence of non-compression and
compression is not supported, no matter whether the base station works in separate-MPT scenarios
or co-MPT scenarios; in this situation, data in the table is in non-compression only mode. The
UBBPd/e board is free from this restriction.

CPRI MUX in Separate-MPT Scenarios
CPRI MUX in separate-MPT scenarios has the following impacts on system reliability:
l Operations or exceptions on the converging party
Circuit switched (CS) and packet switched (PS) services of the converged party will be
interrupted if a CPRI port of the converging party becomes faulty or if any of the
following operations is performed by the converging party:
Software reset or power-off reset on the main control board or the converging board
Blocking, removing and then inserting the main control board or the converging

Commissioning a CPRI port on the converging board
In general, the service interruption lasts less than 3 minutes. In the worst case, the service
interruption does not exceed 5 minutes.
l Operations or exceptions on the converged party
Performing software reset on the main control board: The data rate of PS services of
the converging party may be reduced for less than 3s and the longest duration of
rate reduction does not exceed 10s. CS services remain normal in this situation.
Performing power-off reset, inserting and then removing the main control board: CS

less than 5 minutes when a UMTS application is deleted or reset.
l If the LBBPd converges data, cells on the converged party will become unavailable for
less than 5 minutes when an LTE application is deleted or reset.
l When a UBBPd/e serves as the converging board, deleting or resetting the applications
of the modes configured on this board does not affect the converged party.
l Adding baseband resources to one mode on a UBBPd/e interrupts services of other
modes on this UBBPd/e, but does not affect services of the converged party that
communicates with this UBBPd/e through the BBU backplane.

CPRI MUX (LampSite) Feature Parameter Description 9 Engineering Guidelines
9 Engineering Guidelines
This chapter describes how to implement the CPRI MUX feature.

SingleRAN
9.1 When to Use CPRI MUX

You can enable the CPRI MUX feature in the following scenarios:
l Sites in which a single-mode base station is to be evolved into a multimode base station
and the operator requires that the existing topology of fiber optic cables remain
unchanged to reduce engineering costs
l Sites in which a co-MPT dual-mode or multimode base station is to be deployed and the
operator requires that costs of fiber optic cables be reduced
l Sites whose coverage must be ensured through cascaded RF units, such as stadiums,
subways, and high-speed railways
9.2 Required Information

The following information must be collected before feature deployment:
l Names of baseband processing units that are to be used in CPRI MUX

l Names of RF units that are to be used in CPRI MUX
l Information about optical modules
l Planned site capacity
9.3 Planning
RF Planning
N/A
Network Planning
Perform network planning according to 4 CPRI MUX Topologies with BBU3900s Used in
the LampSite Solution.
Hardware Planning
When selecting boards and RF units that are to be used in the CPRI MUX feature, you must
consider the application scenarios and constraints provided in 3 Dependencies on BBU
Boards and RF Units and 4 CPRI MUX Topologies with BBU3900s Used in the
LampSite Solution.
NOTICE
The CPRI link rates of baseband processing units/interface boards, optical modules, and RF
units must match each other and meet the specifications in 6 Specifications of the CPRI
MUX Feature.

SingleRAN
9.4 Deployment
9.4.1 Requirements
Hardware
RF units have been installed. Cables between RF units and BBUs have been connected as
required by the CPRI MUX feature. For detailed installation procedures, see the
corresponding Base Station Installation Guide and Site Maintenance Guide of the base
stations.
NOTE
If CPRI MUX is to be deployed in a site where a single-mode base station is to be evolved into a
multimode base station, the hardware configuration must meet the requirements of CPRI MUX.
Otherwise, replace the hardware.

When CPRI MUX is used in UMTS+LTE co-MPT scenarios where the LBBPd or WBBPf provides 9.8
Gbit/s CPRI optical ports, run the ADD RRUCHAIN command to set the CPRI line rate to 4.9 Gbit/s.
In co-MPT scenarios, the LBBPd board does not support CPRI extension mode.

SingleRAN
9.4.3 Activation
Using MML Commands

Step 1 On the converging party, run the ADD RRUCHAIN command to add an RHUB chain.
Step 2 On the converging party, run the ADD RHUB command to add an RHUB to the RHUB
chain.
Step 3 On the converging party, run the ADD RRUCHAIN command to configure the pRRU chain.
Step 4 On the converging party, run the ADD RRU command to add a pRRU to the pRRU chain.
Step 5 On the converged party, run the ADD RRUCHAIN command for UMTS or LTE to add an
RHUB chain.
Step 6 On the converged party, run the ADD RHUB command to add an RHUB to the RHUB chain.
Step 7 On the converged party, run the ADD RRUCHAIN command for UMTS or LTE to configure
the pRRU chain.
Step 8 On the converged party, run the ADD RRU command for UMTS or LTE to add a pRRU to
the pRRU chain.
----End
NOTE
Data configurations must be the same for RRUs on the converging party and converged party. For
detailed parameter settings, see Table 9-1. When configuring the parameter AT in separate-MPT
scenarios, set the local port for the converging party and the peer port for the converged party. For
details, see Table 9-2.
In separate-MPT scenarios where the CPRI line rate is 9.8 Gbit/s, if the bandwidth compression mode is
changed for a cell on a CPRI link, all cells on the CPRI link must be deactivated, reconfigured, and then
activated.

Failure Indication is reported, check whether the UMTS+LTE cell configurations exceed the
specifications of a single Ethernet cable. If so, modify the UMTS+LTE cell configurations. If not, run
the BLK CPRIPORT command to block the CPRI_E port and then the UBL CPRIPORT command to
unblock the CPRI_E port.
9.7.2 MML Commands for Maintenance

In separate-MPT scenarios, the converging and converged parties have their own O&M
platforms. In co-MPT scenarios, the converging and converged parties share the same O&M
platform. Table 9-5 lists MML commands for maintenance.
NOTE
After CPRI MUX is implemented, alarms will be reported if any exceptions occur. Clear the alarms
according to the alarm reference.
