BBU Interconnection Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
In BBU Interconnection, two BBUs are connected using a BBU interconnection signal cable.
The BBU Interconnection feature applies to the following scenarios:
l Triple-mode base station deployment

With BBU Interconnection, a base station can be deployed in the following modes: GU+L,
GL+U, or G*U*L+G*U*L. Two interconnected BBUs belong to the same base station.
l UMTS baseband capacity expansion
A single BBU supports a maximum of 6 UMTS baseband boards. BBU Interconnection
enables two BBUs to support a maximum of 11 UMTS baseband boards, enhancing the
UMTS baseband capacity of a base station. SRAN9.0 supports UMTS baseband
interconnection only.
NOTE
Unless otherwise specified, the BBU in this document refers to both the BBU3900 and BBU3910.

2.1 Introduction
2.2 Upgrade to Triple-Mode Base Stations
2.2.1 BBU Slots

A BBU has 11 slots, as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 BBU slots
2.2.2 Cable Connections

In a triple-mode base station, two BBUs can be connected using the UCIU+UMPT or UMPT
+UMPT interconnection method. Figure 2-2 shows inter-BBU cable connections in these two
interconnection methods.
Figure 2-2 Inter-BBU cable connections in the two interconnection methods in a triple-mode
base station
Table 2-1 describes the UCIU+UMPT and UMPT+UMPT interconnection methods.

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

Table 2-2 lists the application scenarios for triple-mode base stations in SingleRAN9.0.

NOTE
l In a co-MPT base station where two BBUs are interconnected, the primary and secondary main control
boards are configured in BBU 0 and BBU 1, respectively. The modes configured in BBU 1 must also
be configured in BBU 0. GSM cannot be configured in BBU 1.
l In triple-mode base stations, a board of a certain mode must be configured in the same BBU as the
main control board of this mode. For details about the board configurations for each mode, see the
BBU Hardware Description.
2.2.4 Restrictions
When UCIU+UMPT interconnection is used in a triple-mode base station, the following
restrictions apply:
l GSM boards must be installed in BBU 0.

l Monitoring devices must be connected to BBU 0.
l Boards in the same BBU must have the same cabinet and subrack numbers. Boards in
different BBUs must have different cabinet numbers or different subrack numbers.
Otherwise, common boards, such as the UCIU, cannot function.
l A BBU3910 cannot be configured with a UCIU.
l If two interconnected BBU subracks work in co-MPT multiple modes or in single mode,
the primary BBU subrack must provide transmission ports.
When UMPT+UMPT interconnection is used in a triple-mode base station, the following

restrictions apply in addition to the preceding restrictions:
l The distance between BBU 0 and BBU 1 must be less than or equal to 5 m.
l BBU 1 must be configured with a UMPTb.
l If BBU 0 is configured with the GTMU, WMPT, or LMPT, cascaded RRUs cannot be
connected to BBU 1.
l Only BBU interconnection signal cables provided by Huawei can be used. Fiber optic
cables cannot be used.
l Transmission cables must be connected to BBU 0.
NOTE
In the UMPT+UMPT interconnection and only one UMPT connects to external transmission equipment
scenario, if the transmission cable is removed from the original UMPT and reconnected to the other UMPT,
you need to reset the later UMPT by pressing the reset button on the UMPT or removing and reinserting
the UMPT.

SingleRAN
2.2.5 Supported Features and Functions

In a triple-mode base station, two BBUs are connected using a BBU interconnection signal cable.
The BBUs exchange control data, transmission data, and clock signals. Therefore, the BBUs
support common transmission (co-transmission), inter-BBU software-defined radio (SDR), and
a common clock.
Supported Features
l Co-Transmission
When two BBUs are interconnected, the BBUs support co-transmission between two or more
modes. For details, see Common Transmission Feature Parameter Description.
l Common Clock
When two BBUs are interconnected, the BBUs support a common clock between two or more
modes. For details, see Common Clock Feature Parameter Description.
l Inter-BBU SDR
In inter-BBU SDR, a multimode RF module is connected to both BBUs. Figure 2-3 shows an
example of inter-BBU SDR in which BBU 0 supports GSM and BBU 1 supports LTE. The RXU
(GL) is connected to both BBU 0 and BBU 1.
Figure 2-3 Inter-BBU SDR
NOTE
RXU refers to RRU and RFU.
Inter-BBU SDR clock signals for the secondary BBU must be synchronized with those for the
primary BBU. The clock signal synchronization mode is selected according to the following
rules:
l If the primary BBU uses frequency synchronization, the secondary BBU must use
frequency synchronization.
l If the primary BBU uses time synchronization, the secondary BBU can use either time or
frequency synchronization.
2.3 UMTS Baseband Capacity Expansion

SingleRAN
2.3.1 Cable Connections

In a triple-mode base station using BBU Interconnection, the WBBPf boards or UBBPd boards
in the BBUs can be interconnected to exchange baseband data.
Figure 2-4 shows the inter-BBU cable connections for UMTS baseband capacity expansion.
Figure 2-4 Inter-BBU cable connections for UMTS baseband capacity expansion
A UMTS baseband board and a UMTS main control board are installed in both BBU 0 and BBU
1, and the two UMTS baseband boards are interconnected using a BBU interconnection signal
cable. Among UMTS baseband boards, WBBPf boards and UBBPd boards can provide HEI
ports for UMTS baseband interconnection. A WBBPf board or UBBPd board can be installed
only in slot 2 or slot 3 (preferred) in either BBU.
A BBU interconnection signal cable between WBBPf boards transmits baseband data and
expands baseband resources. A BBU interconnection signal cable between WBBPf boards
cannot be used interchangeably with that for UCIU+UMPT or UMPT+UMPT interconnection.
A BBU baseband interconnection signal cable is logically called BBPLNK. Either end of a
BBPLNK can be configured as the link head. It is recommended that you configure the end on
the BBU 0 side as the link head. SRAN9.0 supports only one BBPLNK.

SingleRAN
NOTE
A CTRLLNK (for NodeB/eNodeB) or BTSCTRLLNK (for GBTS) must be set up before a BBPLINK.
2.3.2 Application Scenarios

In the preceding scenarios, both BBU 0 and BBU 1 are configured with UMTS main control
boards.
NOTE
For details about the board configurations for each mode, see the BBU Hardware Description.
2.3.3 Restrictions
Both BBU 0 and BBU 1 must be configured with one UMTS main control board to expand the
UMTS baseband capacity, with the UMTS main control board in BBU 0 as primary and that in
BBU 1 as secondary. If the ACT indicator on a main control board is steady on, this board is the
primary board. If the ACT indicator on a main control board is steady off, this board is the
secondary board.
The following local operations can be performed only on the primary main control board:
l Software upgrades and data configurations using a USB flash drive

l Local operations on the LMT
l Clock test
l Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) testing using a USB flash drive
In addition, the following restrictions apply:
l Monitoring devices must be connected to BBU 0.

l In a NodeB deployed using the plug-and-play function, a UMPT working in UMTS mode
must be configured in BBU 0.
l CPRI fiber optic cables can be connected to any WBBP in either BBU. It is recommended
that all CPRI fiber optic cables be connected to the WBBP in BBU 0. For details about
CPRI cable connections, see BBU Hardware Description.

SingleRAN
l The secondary UMTS main control board in BBU 1 does not support co-transmission.
l Boards in the same BBU must have the same subrack and slot numbers. Boards in different
BBUs must have different subrack and slot numbers. Otherwise, common boards, such as
the UCIU, cannot function.
l Inter-BBU baseband resource sharing is supported only in the downlink.
l BBU interconnection cannot enable two NodeBs to be upgraded to one NodeB.
l Inter-BBU multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is not supported. The main and
diversity RRUs serving MIMO cells must be connected to the same BBU.

5.3.2 Subracks and Hardware Configurations for the BBUs

For the installation locations and hardware configurations of BBU 0 and BBU 1 in each cabinet
when a new multimode base station is deployed, see 3900 Series Base Station Hardware
Description.
In UCIU+UMPT interconnection, the UCIU is controlled by only one single-mode main control
board. Otherwise, ALM-26274 Inter-System Board Object Configuration Conflict is reported.
UCIU-related alarms are reported only to the single-mode main control board controlling the
UCIU.
When deploying a new Multimode base station, you are advised to comply with the following
rules to set the control mode for the UCIU:
l In UMTS baseband capacity expansion scenarios, UMTS is preferred to control the UCIU.
l In other scenarios, the mode priority descends from GSM, to UMTS, and then to LTE.
l In capacity expansion scenarios, it is recommended that the controlling mode of the UCIU
remain unchanged. Alternatively, you can modify the controlling mode based on
information provided in Table 5-2.
Table 5-2 lists the mode recommended for controlling the UCIU in each scenario.

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

With BBU Interconnection, a base station supports the following:
l Independent transmission
l Inter-BBU co-transmission

SingleRAN
Independent Transmission
In a triple-mode base station deployment scenario, each mode is connected to the transport
network through its own port and is deployed in the same way as that in a single-mode base
station.
In UMTS baseband capacity expansion scenarios, both BBUs have a UMTS main control board,
it is recommended that BBU 0 be connected to the RNC.
Inter-BBU Co-Transmission
For engineering guidelines about co-transmission, see Common Transmission Feature
Parameter Description. A multimode base station supports the following co-transmission modes
to implement inter-BBU co-transmission:
l UMPT-based co-transmission through backplane interconnection

All modes except the one controlling the UMPT send their data to the UMPT through BBU
backplanes and BBU interconnection signal cables. The co-transmission port on the UMPT
is connected to the transport network, and the link between the port and transport network
carries data of all the modes in the multimode base station.
When deploying a multimode base station, first deploy the mode controlling the UMPT.
Otherwise, other modes cannot be deployed.
l UTRPc-based co-transmission through backplane interconnection
All modes send their data to the UTRPc through BBU backplanes and BBU interconnection
signal cables. The co-transmission port on the UTRPc is connected to the transport network,
and the link between the port and transport network carries data of all the modes in the
multimode base station.
When deploying a multimode base station, first deploy the mode controlling the UTRPc.
Otherwise, other modes cannot be deployed.
In new multimode base station deployment scenarios, the UTRPc has the following
configuration restrictions:
l The UTRPc can be controlled by only one mode whose main control board is installed in
the same BBU as the UTRPc.
l When deploying a new multimode base station, it is recommended that you deploy the
control mode of a UTRPc following a priority descending from LTE, to UMTS, and then
to GSM. By default, the UTRPc is controlled by UMTS before delivery.
Table 5-3 lists the mode recommended for controlling the UTRPc and the related mode
deployment order when an Multimode base station works in different modes.

5.3.4 CPRI-based Topologies
With Single-Mode RF Modules

If single-mode RF modules are configured, chain, ring, and star topologies are supported. For
UMTS baseband expansion, the ring topology is not supported between two BBUs, as shown
in Figure 5-1.

SingleRAN
Figure 5-1 Ring topology not supported between two BBUs
In UMPT+UMPT interconnection, only the star topology is supported for BBU 1 when the BBU
0 is configured with the GTMU, WMPT, or LMPT, as shown in Figure 5-2.

SingleRAN
Figure 5-2 Ring topology not supported between two BBUs

Management Feature Parameter Description and CPRI MUX Feature Parameter Description.
5.3.5 Clocks
With BBU Interconnection, a base station uses one of the following clocks:
l Independent reference clock
l Common reference clock
Independent Reference Clock

In triple-mode base station deployment scenarios, the reference clock for each mode is the same
as that in a single-mode base station.
WBBPfIn UMTS baseband capacity expansion scenarios, both BBU 0 and BBU 1 have a
WBBPf. The reference clock can be configured in either BBU.
Common Reference Clock

The common reference clock can be configured in either BBU 0 or BBU 1. The BBU configured
with the common reference clock shares control data and clock signals with the other BBU
through a BBU interconnection signal cable and the BBU backplane.
For engineering guidelines about the common reference clock, see Common Reference Clock
Parameter Description.
5.4 Feature Deployment
5.4.1 Deployment Requirements

None.
5.4.2 Data Preparation

Upgrade to Triple-Mode Base Stations
Perform the following steps to plan the data:
Step 1 Designate BBU0 and BBU1. Plan the cabinet number and subrack number for each BBU.
If BBU0 and BBU1 are configured in the same cabinet, their subrack numbers must be different.
If they are configured in different cabinets, their subrack numbers can be the same.
Step 2 Plan the control links.
----End
The control link is logically CTRLLNK for NodeB or eNodeB, and BTSCTRLLNK for GBTS.
Physically, the control link is the BBU interconnection signal cable between the UCIU and

5.4.4 Activation Observation

After the initial configuration is complete, you can observe the status of CTRLLNK/
BTSCTRLLNK at either the local or remote end. For alarms related to BBU Interconnection,
see section "5.7 Troubleshooting."
At the Local End

Step 1 Check the status of the Mx indicator on the UCIU or the status of the CI indicator on the UMPT
to determine whether CTRLLNK/BTSCTRLLNK is operating correctly.
l If the Mx indicator is green, CTRLLNK/BTSCTRLLNK is operating correctly.
l If the CI indicator is green, CTRLLNK/BTSCTRLLNK is operating correctly.
Step 2 Check the status of the HEI indicator on the WBBPf to determine whether BBPLNK is operating
correctly.
If the HEI indicator is green, BBPLNK is operating correctly.
----End
NOTE
Mx can be the M0, M1, M2, M3, or M4 port on the UCIU.
At the Remote End

l On the M2000 device panel, you can query the master/slave indication of the BBU
interconnection cable to check whether the cable is correctly connected. The yellow end is
the master port.
l On the M2000 maintenance console or the LMT, you can run the LST CTRLLNK/
BTSCTRLLNK command to query the cabinet number, subrack number, slot number, and
port number at both ends of the BBU interconnection signal cable.
NOTE
The two BBUs are classified into main subrack and extension subrack. If the subrack number of one end
of the BBU interconnection signal cable is 0, the mode at this end is deployed in the main subrack. If the
subrack number of this end is 1, the BBU at the other end is the main subrack.
l Run the MML command DSP CTRLLNKSTAT/BTSCTRLLNKSTAT to check
whether CTRLLNK/BTSCTRLLNK is operating correctly.
l Run the MML command DSP BBPLNK command to check whether BBPLNK is
configured as planned.
