CPRI MUX Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
In the CPRI MUX feature, multiple modes use a common public radio interface (CPRI) link
to transmit data.
Multimode RF modules are connected to a single-mode or multimode(1) baseband processing

board/interface board through CPRI links. Another single-mode or multimode(1) baseband
processing board/interface board is connected to the previous baseband processing board/
interface board through the BBU backplane and indirectly communicates with the multimode
RF modules. The baseband processing board or interface board that is directly connected to
multimode RF modules is called the converging board, and the corresponding mode is called
the converging party. The baseband processing board or interface board that is indirectly
connected to multimode RF modules 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. Note that mode A and mode B can be a single mode or co-BBP
multiple modes.(1)
Figure 2-1 Working principle of CPRI MUX

SingleRAN
CPRI MUX Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
NOTE
l (1)
UBBP boards are added in SRAN9.0, which support multimode co-BBP. Therefore, a UBBP
board can serve as both the converging board and converged board.
l Only multimode RF modules support CPRI MUX. Single-mode RF modules do not support CPRI
MUX.
l The modes of RF modules in the figures at chapters 4, 5, and 6 refer to the working modes of RF
modules, not the supporting modes of RF modules.
2.2 Benefits
This feature provides the following benefits:
l Reduced cable purchase, installation, and maintenance costs for newly deployed
multimode base stations: Multiple modes can use a CPRI link to transmit data, and
therefore the number of required optical modules and fiber optic cables decreases
considerably.
l Lower engineering costs and shorter service interruption duration in refarming scenarios:
If a multimode RF module uses a single CPRI cable, newly deployed modes can share
the module and the cable after refarming.
l Guaranteed coverage for cascaded multimode RF modules: CPRI MUX allows
multimode RF modules to be cascaded to ensure coverage along highways and railways.

3.1 BBU3900 Boards That Support CPRI MUX

In separate-MPT scenarios, only UMTS and LTE can serve as the converging party. If GSM is
involved in the scenarios, GSM baseband signals are processed by RF modules. Table 3-1
lists BBU3900 boards that support the CPRI MUX feature and slot assignment.

NOTE
l (1)If a baseband processing board is named UBBP_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, UBBP_G/U/GU indicates a UBBP configured with GSM baseband resources, UMTS
baseband resources, or GSM and UMTS baseband resources (GU co-BBP).
l (2) If multiple modes are deployed on a UBBP, the mode of data transmitted through CPRI ports on this
board can be all or some of the deployed modes. For example, the mode of data transmitted through the
CPRI ports on a UBBP_GUL can be UMTS or UL.
l (3) A
UBBP_Ux indicates that this UBBP serves UMTS and other modes; a UBBP_Gx indicates that this
UBBP serves GSM and other modes.
l (4)If the data rate of a CPRI port on a UBRIb board is greater than 4.9 Gbit/s, the port can carry services
of only one RAT in versions earlier than SRAN11.1 and carry services of two RATs in SRAN11.1 and
later versions.
l (5)
If GSM baseband signals are processed by RRUs, the signals do not need to be processed on the
baseband processing board (UBBP_Gx) in the BBU.
l (6)In GUL CPRI MUX, if the converging board is a UBRIb, UMTS and LTE cells of the converged party
must be served by the specified baseband equipment group, and such a baseband equipment group must
include only single-mode baseband processing boards.
l (7)
If GSM baseband signals are not processed by RF modules, the signals are processed on the
UBBP_Gx. Therefore, a UBBP_Gx must be configured in the BBU.

In separate-MPT scenarios, only UMTS and LTE can serve as the converging party. If GSM is
involved in the scenarios, GSM baseband signals are processed by RF modules. Table 3-3
lists the BBU3910 boards that support the CPRI MUX feature and the slot assignment.

CPRI MUX Feature Parameter Description 10 Chain Topology with CPRI MUX
10 Chain Topology with CPRI MUX
In a chain topology with CPRI MUX, configurations of the BBU, such as a BBU5900,
BBU3910A, BBU3910, or BBU3900, are the same as the configurations of the BBU in a star
topology. On the RRU side, multimode RF modules working in the same or different modes
can be cascaded on one CPRI link. Intra-mode cascading is recommended and inter-mode
cascading is provided for use in specific scenarios.
NOTE
l In a chain topology with CPRI MUX, preferentially activate GSM cells served by the RF modules
that are configured at the upper levels on a chain, that is, closer to a baseband processing board.
l All RF modules on the chain must work at the same rate.
l Intra-mode cascading: All cascaded multimode RF modules are configured with the
same mode and work in the same mode. Figure 10-1 shows GU CPRI MUX where a
BBU3900 is used, UMTS serves as the converging party, the UBBP_U serves as the
converging board, and GSM baseband signals are processed by RF modules.
l Inter-mode cascading: Cascaded multimode RF modules work in different modes. Inter-
mode cascading is implemented in the following scenarios:
– Scenario 1
In the chain topology with co-MPT CPRI MUX, the working mode of an RF
module includes GSM. For example, the working mode may be GO, GU, GL, or
GUL.
In this scenario, all RF modules on the chain must be multimode RF modules that
support GSM. That is, all RF modules must support GU, GL, or GUL.
Figure 10-2 shows co-MPT GU CPRI MUX where a BBU3900 is used, UMTS
serves as the converging party, the UBBP_U serves as the converging board, and
GSM baseband signals are processed by RF modules. The "UO Radio Unit" in this
figure is working in UO mode, but it is a multimode RF module that supports GSM.
That is, it supports GU or GUL.
– Scenario 2
In the chain topology with CPRI MUX, GSM is not included in the working mode
of any RF module. RF modules on the chain work in UO, LO, or UL mode.
In this scenario, the RF modules on the chain can be any GU, GL, UL, or GUL RF
modules.
Figure 10-3 shows co-MPT UL CPRI MUX where a BBU3900 is used and UMTS
serves as the converging party.

SingleRAN
– Scenario 3
In separate-MPT CPRI MUX, the multimode RF modules can work in one or two
modes, but all multimode RF modules must support both the converging and
converged parties.
For example, in separate-MPT GU CPRI MUX, the multimode RF modules can
work in GO, UO, or GU mode, but these modules must support GU or GUL, as
shown in Figure 10-4.

For inter-mode cascading, if an RF module whose working mode includes GSM is configured with
GSM TRXs, it must be configured at the upper level on a chain, that is, closer to a baseband
processing board.

11 CPRI MUX with Multimode Load

Sharing Topology
In co-MPT scenarios, if two CPRI links on an RF module carry the data of two or more
modes, this network topology is called the multimode load sharing topology.
l If each CPRI link in the multimode load sharing topology can transmit data of only one
mode, the CPRI MUX feature is not required. For details on this network topology, see
RRU/RFU/AAU Topologies > Load-Sharing Topology > Multimode Load-Sharing
Topology in RF Unit and Topology Management Feature Parameter Description.
l If a CPRI link in the multimode load sharing topology needs to transmit data of multiple
modes, the CPRI MUX feature is required. Currently, only GUL RF modules support
CPRI MUX with multimode load sharing. Two CPRI links carry GU+L data, with one
link carrying GU data and the other carrying LTE data, as shown in Figure 11-1.

SingleRAN
CPRI MUX Feature Parameter Description 11 CPRI MUX with Multimode Load Sharing Topology
NOTICE
l In the multimode load sharing topology, two CPRI links of an RF module must be
connected to two baseband processing boards or two interface boards of different modes.
In other words, only a BBU5900, BBU3910, or BBU3900 supports the multimode load
sharing topology.
l In the multimode load sharing topology, the number of LTE cells cannot exceed the
maximum supported by each CPRI link, which depends on the CPRI port rate. For the
maximum number of LTE cells supported by different CPRI port rates, see the following
documents:

l If a UBBP is used in the multimode load sharing topology, the UBBP must have been
configured with baseband resources of the mode served by this board. Otherwise, carriers
cannot be successfully allocated to the CPRI ports on this UBBP.
l In multimode load sharing, if a CPRI port is faulty or the board carrying this CPRI port is
faulty, services of certain modes cannot be established. After the fault is cleared, services
of all modes will recover.

Capacity Specifications
Capacity specifications for each mode with different configurations are calculated as follows:

SingleRAN
l GSM:
– When GSM baseband signals are processed by RF modules, the numbers of GSM
TRXs are reduced by half if the following condition is met:
20 km < Distance between the BBU and the RF module ≤ 40 km.
l UMTS:
– The number of cells supported when the antenna capability is 1T2R 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 1T2R is
twice that supported when the antenna capability is 2T4R.
l LTE:
– When LTE cells have the same antenna capability and CPRI line rate, the number of
cells supported by a 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, or 20 MHz cell is inversely
proportional to the bandwidth of LTE cells. For example, the number of cells
supported by a 3 MHz cell is twice that supported by a 5 MHz cell, and the number
of cells supported by a 5 MHz cell is twice that supported by a 10 MHz cell.
– When LTE cells have the same antenna capability and CPRI line rate, 1.4 and 3
MHz cells support the same number of cells, and 15 and 20 MHz cells support the
same number of cells.
– When LTE cells have the same bandwidth, the antenna capability is inversely
proportional to the number of cells for 1T1R, 2T2R, and 4T4R. For example, when
the cell bandwidth is 20 MHz, the number of cells supported when the antenna
capability is 2T2R is twice that supported when the antenna capability is 4T4R.
– When LTE cells have the same bandwidth, the number of cells supported by 1T2R
and 2T2R antennas is the same, and that supported by 2T4R and 4T4R antennas is
the same.
Examples of Application Scenarios

Scenario 1: BBU3900, GL 1800 MHz, GSM S2/2/2, LTE 3x20 MHz 2T2R
The capacity requirement of each CPRI link is 2 GSM TRXs + LTE 1x20 MHz 2T2R.
The capacity requirement of each board is 6 GSM TRXs + LTE 3x20 MHz 2T2R.
According to Table 13-1, the CPRI line rate for a CPRI link that supports a 20 MHz 2T2R
LTE cell is 4.9 Gbit/s. The corresponding carrier capacity of a GL converging board is 126
GSM TRXs + LTE 4x20 MHz 2T2R. Therefore, the capacity requirements can be met and
this scenario is supported.
Scenario 2: BBU3900, GL 1800 MHz, GSM S2/2/2, LTE 3x10 MHz 4T4R
Therefore, a 10 MHz 4T4R LTE cell needs to be converted to 2T2R LTE cells based on the
preceding calculation methods. The conversion is as follows: 1x10 MHz 4T4R -> 2x10 MHz
2T2R -> 1x20 MHz 2T2R. According to Table 13-1, the CPRI line rate for a CPRI link that
supports a 20 MHz 2T2R LTE cell is 4.9 Gbit/s. The corresponding carrier capacity of a GL
converging board is 126 GSM TRXs + LTE 4x20 MHz 2T2R. Therefore, the capacity
requirements can be met and this scenario is supported.

SingleRAN
Scenario 3: BBU3900, GL 1800 MHz, GSM S2/2/2/2/2/2, LTE 6x20 MHz 2T2R
According to Table 13-1, the CPRI line rate for a CPRI link that supports a 20 MHz 2T2R
LTE cell is 4.9 Gbit/s. The corresponding carrier capacity of a GL converging board is 126
GSM TRXs + LTE 4x20 MHz 2T2R. Therefore, the capacity requirements of LTE 6x20 MHz
2T2R cannot be met and this scenario is not supported. In this case, contact Huawei engineers
for technical support.

MUX
Table 13-4 lists the maximum cascading level of the chain topology with CPRI MUX. The
maximum cascading level is determined by the cell capacity of each mode and the carrier

l GBFD-113703 Antenna Frequency Hopping
In separate-MPT scenarios, GU/GL CPRI MUX does not support baseband hopping, RF
frequency hopping between two RF modules, or antenna frequency hopping between the RF
modules:
l Between two RF modules connecting to a GTMUb/GTMUc and a UBRI/UBRIb/

SingleRAN
CPRI MUX Feature Parameter Description 14 Related Features
In Figure 14-1, the UBRI/UBRIb/UBBP_G and the GTMUb/GTMUc directly connect to one
RF module, respectively. The GTMUb/GTMUc is the converged board and the WBBPf/
UBBP_U is the converging board that connects to an RF module working in GU mode,
implementing GU CPRI MUX. RF frequency hopping between RF modules connected to the
WBBPf/UBBP_U and the GTMUb/GTMUc is supported. RF frequency hopping between RF
modules connected to the GTMUb/GTMUc and the UBRI/UBRIb/UBBP_G and between RF
modules connected to the WBBPf/UBBP_U and UBRI/UBRIb/UBBP_G is not supported.
NOTE
The UBBP_G is a UBBP working in GSM mode.
If a UBRIb in a BBU3900 is the converging board in co-MPT scenarios, CPRI MUX does not
support baseband hopping, RF frequency hopping between two RF modules, or antenna
frequency hopping between a GTMUb/GTMUc (working in the Evolution mode) and a
UBRIb.

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 when a CPRI port of the converging party becomes faulty or when 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
– Removing and then inserting the main control board or the converging board
– Blocking the converging board
– Commissioning CPRI ports on the converging board
In general, this duration lasts less than 3 minutes and the longest duration does not
exceed 3.5 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.
– Performing power-off reset, inserting and then removing the main control board
CS and PS services on the converging party will be interrupted for less than 1
minute and the longest duration of service interruption does not exceed 3 minutes.

converging party becomes faulty or when either of the following operations is performed
by the converging party:
– Software reset or power-off reset on the converging board blocking
– Removing and then inserting the converging board
– Commissioning CPRI ports on the converging board
In general, the interruption lasts shorter than 3 minutes and the longest interruption lasts
no longer than 3.5 minutes.
l If the WBBPf converges data and a UMTS application is deleted or reset, cells on the
converged party will become unavailable for less than 5 minutes.
l If the LBBPd converges data and an LTE application is deleted or reset, cells on the
converged party will become unavailable for less than 5 minutes.
l If the UBRIb converges data and a GSM application is deleted or reset, there is no
impact on the converged party.
l When a UBBP 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 configured on a UBBP interrupts services of
other modes configured on this board, but does not affect services of the converged party
that communicates with this board through the BBU backplane.

Reference, and BSC6910 GSM Alarm Reference.
Table 16-4 CPRI MUX-related alarms
Alarm ID Alarm Name Description
ALM-26215 Inter-Board Service Link This alarm is reported if inter-board

Failure communication fails in the BBU.
Services of the converged party are
affected.

SingleRAN
ALM-26235 RF Unit Maintenance Link This alarm is reported if the

Failure maintenance link between the BBU
and the RF unit malfunctions. The
alarm is triggered by any of the
following faults and is reported by
the converged party in separate-MPT
scenarios: Optical modules on the
baseband board of the converging
party become faulty. Links used to
forward data from the converged
party to the converging party through
the BBU backplane become faulty or
resources are insufficient. The
baseband board of the converging
party is not installed, powered on,
configured or the baseband board
experiences hardware failures. The
hardware capability of the baseband
boards of the two parties is
insufficient to support data
converging through the BBU
backplane. Aggregation relationships
are incorrectly configured.
ALM-26270 Inter-System In multi-mode configuration, this

Communication Failure alarm is reported if the main control
board in the current mode cannot
communicate with the main control
board in the other mode. If the two
main control boards cannot
communicate with each other for
about 45s, this alarm is reported. If
the two main control boards can
communicate with each other for
about 30s consecutively, this alarm is
cleared.
ALM-26272 Inter-System RF Unit In multi-mode configuration, this

Parameter Settings Conflict alarm is reported if the parameter
settings of an RF unit in a mode are
inconsistent with those of the same
RF unit in the other mode, such as
the working mode or other RF
parameters.

SingleRAN
ALM-26274 Inter-System Board Object In multi-mode configuration, this

Configuration Conflict alarm is reported if the cabinet/
subrack/slot configuration of a board
is inconsistent in different modes, the
cabinet/subrack/slot configuration of
different boards is the same in
different modes, or a board that
supports only one mode is used by
multiple modes at the same time.
ALM-26277 Inter-System Control Rights In multi-mode configuration, this

Conflict alarm is reported if the loading
control rights are not configured or
are inconsistent between different
modes in the base station.
ALM-26278 RF Unit Working Mode and In multi-mode configuration, this

Board Capability Mismatch alarm is reported if the configured
working mode of an RF unit does not
match the actual capability of the RF
unit.
ALM-28016 GSM Local Cell Unusable In a CPRI MUX-based topology with

the GSM mode, multiple modes use
ALM-28017 GSM Local Cell Capability one CPRI link to transmit data. As a
Decline result, bandwidth on the GSM side
ALM-28006 Radio Signaling Link may be insufficient and this alarm is
Disconnected reported. This alarm is also reported
when an RF module on a hybrid
ALM-21801 GSM Cell out of Service cascaded CPRI link does not support
the GSM mode.
ALM-28203 Local Cell Unusable When CPRI MUX is implemented,

multiple modes use one CPRI link to
ALM-28206 Local Cell Capability transmit data. As a result, bandwidth
Decline on the UMTS side may be
insufficient and this alarm is
reported.
ALM-29240 Cell Unavailable When CPRI MUX is implemented,

multiple modes use one CPRI link to
ALM-29243 Cell Capability Degraded transmit data. As a result, bandwidth
on the LTE side may be insufficient
and this alarm is reported.
ALM-26262 Clock source exception In a CPRI MUX scenario with clock

alarms mutual lock, if the major standard
becomes abnormal, this alarm is
reported by other standards.

16.7.2 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.
NOTE
After CPRI MUX is implemented, alarms will be reported if any exceptions occur. Clear the alarms
according to the alarm reference.
