Technical Brief
Figure 1-2 Deployment scenarios
Different combinations of the units and auxiliary devices form the following Horizon
3G-nx Node Bs:
 Macro Cabinet Node B
The macro Node B, integrates the BBU and the WRFU to form the Horizon 3G-
nx macro Indoor and the Horizon 3G-nx macro Outdoor. The macro Node Bs are
suited to centralized installation, where the Horizon 3G-nx macro Indoor and the
Horizon 3G-nx macro Outdoor, are designed for indoor application and outdoor
application respectively.
 Distributed Node B
Page 7 Total 73
Technical Brief
The distributed Node B, known as the Horizon 3G-nx fiber, consists of the BBU
and the RRU. For distributed deployments, the RRU is placed close to the
antenna. This reduces feeder loss and improves Node B performance.
 Mini Node B
The Horizon 3G-nx mini can be deployed in both indoor and outdoor
environments. It can be installed on a pole, wall, or ground. When installed on
the ground, a stand or other support is required.
Benefits
The Horizon 3G-nx Node B uses a uniform modular design, which minimizes the
costs of network deployment and operations, such as site acquisition, capacity and
coverage expansion and environment protection.
Fast Network Deployment and Efficient Site Utilization

The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs support both centralized and distributed installations,
which simplifies network deployment and facilitates cost-effective network
construction in a variety of scenarios.
The BBU can be installed in a 2U-high and 19-inch-wide indoor space or a protective
outdoor cabinet while the RRU can be installed close to the antenna and has no
footprint.
The cabinet macro Node B with its small footprint is one of the most compact Node
Bs on the market.
Cost-Effective Capacity and Coverage Solution

The 4-carrier Horizon 3G-nx fiber RRU generates up to 60 W of transmit power. This
performance ensures wider coverage, higher throughput and fewer sites.
The Horizon 3G-nx fiber RRU can be mounted close to the antenna, connecting with
the BBU through optical cables, thus avoiding feeder loss. Meaning that for the same
power and system capacity, lower feeder loss delivers wider coverage or fewer sites
under the same area.
Construction of a Green Communication Network

Compact and modular design, innovative PA and power consumption management
are the keys to an ecologically friendly communication networks that are relatively
economic to run and require less equipment room space.
The RF units of the Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs use Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) and
A-Doherty technologies to raise the PA efficiency to around 40%. Thus, the overall
power consumption of the Node B is lowered.
The RF cabinet of the Horizon 3G-nx macro Outdoor is a direct-ventilation cabinet. In
comparison to the traditional macro Node B, equipment power consumption is
reduced by around 40%.
The reduced power consumption not only avoids extra electricity expense but also
lessens the investment in power supply, backup batteries, air conditioner and heat
exchanger equipment.

Architecture
Introduction
The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs feature a modular design with the baseband processing
unit BBU and the RF unit (RRU and WRFU) connected through the Common Public
Radio Interface (CPRI).
The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs comprises of three basic units, the baseband processing
unit BBU, the indoor RF unit WRFU and the outdoor RRU. Auxiliary devices for the
Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs include the APM, indoor macro cabinet, outdoor RF cabinet
and outdoor mini cabinet. Flexible combinations of the three units and auxiliary
devices provide comprehensive Node B site solutions for different scenarios.
BBU
Physical Structure of the BBU
The BBU, is 19 inches 2U high unit. It can be installed in an indoor 19-inch frame or
an outdoor protective cabinet. Figure 2-1 shows the physical structure of the BBU.
Figure 2-1 Physical structure of the BBU
Page 10 Total 73
Technical Brief
The 2-U-high space of the BBU integrates the functions such as main control,
baseband processing and transmission. The BBU supports multiple configurations,
from 1s1c to 6s4c or 3s8c.
Logical Structure of the BBU

The BBU is modular in design and based on the function of each module, can be split
into the following subsystems:
 Transport subsystem
 Baseband subsystem
 Control subsystem
 Power monitoring module
Figure 2-2 shows the logical structure of the BBU.
Figure 2-2 Logical structure of the BBU
Transport Subsystem
The transport subsystem provides ports to exchange information between the BBU
and the Radio Network Controller (RNC) – the Horizon 3G RAN controller.
In addition, the transport subsystem provides maintenance channels between the
BBU and the Operation and Maintenance Centre (OMC), that is, the Local
Maintenance Terminal (LMT) or Horizon OMC for BBU Operation and Maintenance
(O&M).
Baseband Subsystem
The baseband subsystem processes both Uplink (UL) and Downlink (DL) baseband
signals. The functions of the subsystem are performed by the following modules:
 UL baseband signal processing module
Page 11 Total 73
Technical Brief
− The UL baseband signal processing module consists of the demodulation unit

and the decoding unit. In this module, uplink baseband signals are processed
into de-spreading soft decision symbols after access channel searching,
access channel demodulation and dedicated channel demodulation. The
signals are then sent to the RNC through the transport subsystem after
decoding and FP processing.
 DL baseband signal processing module
− The DL baseband signal processing module consists of the modulation unit
and the coding unit. Before sending signals received from the transport
subsystem to the optical module, the module sends service data received
from the transport subsystem to the Frame Protocol (FP) processor. After FP
processing, the module processes the signals through transmission channel
mapping, physical channel generating, framing, spreading, demodulating,
transmit diversity control and power control combination. The module then
sends the processed signals to the interface module.
The CPRI module is integrated in the baseband subsystem of the BBU.
Control Subsystem
The control subsystem manages the entire distributed Node B. The subsystem
performs O&M, processes signaling and provides system clocks.
The O&M module performs functions such as equipment management, configuration
management, alarm management, software management and commissioning
management.
The signaling processor performs functions such as the Node B Application Part
(NBAP) signaling processing, the Access Link Control Application Part (ALCAP)
processing, the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) processing and the
logical resource management.
The clock sources of the Node B consist of the phase-locked line clock extracted from
the Iub interface, the Global Positioning System (GPS) clock and the external clock
such as the Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) clock. The BBU extracts the
clock from the Iub interface and provides the clock signal for the entire Node B after
frequency dividing, phase locking and phase adjustment in the clock module.
Power Monitoring Module

The power monitoring module converts –48 V DC power to suitable power for the
boards. In addition, it provides the monitoring signal input port.

Application
Scenarios
Distributed NodeB: Horizon 3G-nx fiber

The Horizon 3G-nx fiber typifies the compact design, easy installation and low power
consumption required for a Node B, allowing it to be located within existing 2G site
space. The RRU has a compact design and is light weight. It can be installed close to
the antenna to decrease cable loss and improve system coverage. This enables
service providers to efficiently deploy a high-performance network with a low Total
Cost of Ownership (TCO) as less manpower, electric power and space are required
during network build out.
Integrated Applications (BBU + RRU + APM)

If only AC power is available at a newly built 3G site and power backup is required,
the configuration of BBU + RRU + APM can be applied to perform the function of the
outdoor macro Node B. Figure 3-1 shows the typical configuration of BBU + RRU +
APM. This configuration has the following features:
 The BBU can be placed in the APM and the RRU can be installed on the pole,
close to the antenna
 Extra space is reserved in the APM for the BBU installation. In addition, the APM
provides functions such as battery power backup, AC/DC conversion, power
distribution and surge protection
 The APM30 can be configured with 12 Ah, 24 Ah, or 36 Ah built-in batteries and
the APM100 can be configured with 50 Ah or 100 Ah built-in batteries. Whether
the APM30 or the APM100 should be used depends on the required power
backup period

Advanced Platform Structure

The advanced platform structure of the Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs is described as
follows:
 The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs maximize on the FRU-sharing concept, that is, the
distributed Node B, cabinet macro Node B and compact mini Node B all share
the same baseband and RF modules. The three module types form different
Node B products and apply to different scenarios. This concept protects
investment in equipment and simplifies maintenance aspects, making the total
cost of ownership very favorable.
 The dual-star GE IP switch technology enables exchange of large amount of
internal data and satisfies the increased data traffic needs of HSPA+.
 The hot-swappable BBU provides eight slots and supports the ability to increase
capacity and expansion as required.
 The combination of duplexer and TRU in the RF module enhances the integrity of
RF parts and meets the future requirements of the minimized, high-efficiency and
low-cost Node Bs.
 A minimized Node B cabinet is easy to carry and install and the stacked Node B
cabinets take up reduced footprint.
High Integrity and Large Capacity

The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs are highly integrated and offer large capacity:
 The BBU contains highly integrated chips and features large capacity. A single
BBU supports 24 cells, with 1,536 UL CEs and 1,536 DL CEs. It also supports
HSDPA, HSUPA and HSPA+ services.
 A single Horizon 3G-nx fiber RRU (60W) or WRFU (80W) can support up to
4-carriers. When the Node B evolves from 1s1c to 1s4c or from 3s1c to 3s4c, no
extra RRU or WRFU is required.
Page 40 Total 73
Technical Brief
High Performance
The high performance of the Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs can be summarized as follows:
 The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs feature high receiver sensitivity. The 2-way receiver
sensitivity is higher than –129.3 dBm without the Tower Amplification (TMA).

and traffic is low
 Inverse Multiplexing on ATM (IMA) mode when there are rich transmission
resources. This mode features high reliability, high-speed transmission and low
latency
 Fractional ATM
IP
The IP transmission, based on IPs, supports the transmission of various data services
on low-rate links. In this mode, the IP transmission resources are fully utilized and
service provider investment is minimized.
In IP transmission, the Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs support the following technologies:
 Native IP transmission that requires no additional hardware. Compared with
PWE3 technology, Native IP is more efficient, cost-effective and independent of
PWE3 external devices
 IP over E1, to fully utilize existing E1 resources and to offer a complete solution of
IP transmission
 Fractional Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
 ATM and IP dual stack, to protect service providers' early investment in ATM
transmission
 Compression multiplexing technology, namely the multiplexing of PPP header
compression, PPPMUX and IPHC, to raise the transmission rate over E1 ports.
With the technology of IPHC + PPP compression + PPPMUX, the E1
transmission rate of the 12.2 kbps voice service rises by up to 37%
 FP Multiplex (MUX), to reduce the number of Medium Access Control (MAC)
headers by multiplexing packets and to raise the transmission rate over FE ports.
With this technology, the FE transmission rate of the 12.2 kbps voice service
rises by up to 40%
 Hybrid transmission, which enables services to meet different QoS requirements
and then to allocate different transmission paths. For example, hybrid
Page 41 Total 73
Technical Brief
transmission enables real-time services to travel on electrical ports, such as

E1/T1 ports and non-real-time services to travel on Ethernet ports

 The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs use GPS to achieve clock synchronization.
 The external clock synchronization refers to the Building Integrated Timing
Supply System (BITS) clock and the 2MHz clock on the transmission equipment.
 Without additional hardware, software upgrade supports the IP clock. The IP
transmission provides a high-performance and cost effective clock solution.
 The internal clock, an internal stratum-3 clock, ensures that the Node B without
an external clock still works properly for at least 90 days.

Technical Brief
 Supporting the cascading of RET antennas and controls the tilt of the 2G RET
antenna through the 3G site.
Same Band Antenna Sharing

To implement the same band antenna sharing with low insertion loss, the Same-band
Antenna Sharing Unit (SASU) and Same-band Antenna Sharing Adapter (SASA) are
introduced to reduce costs of network deployment.
The SASU applies to two scenarios, namely the antenna shared by 2G and 3G
systems and the antenna shared by two 3G systems. The SASU that enables two
different systems on the same band to share one antenna system is an important part
of the same band antenna sharing solution. It can reduce the cost and time of the 3G
network roll-out.
The SASU supports 900MHz and 2,100MHz frequency bands.
The SASA is also an important part of the same band antenna sharing solution. It will
cause an insertion loss of 0.8 dB in the downlink, but it can integrate transmit carriers
from two antennas into one antenna, without affecting GSM network performance.
O&M Platforms
The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs support two O&M platforms, namely the LMT and the
Horizon OMC and via which the Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs perform the following O&M
functions:
 Supporting local maintenance, remote maintenance and reverse maintenance
 Supporting Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) and Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) when data is not configured or the Node B is faulty, the Node B
automatically sets up an O&M channel to enhance system reliability and to
perform remote troubleshooting
 Supporting configuration baseline and simplifies the configuration rollback
process to roll back configuration more reliably
 Providing the intelligent out-of-service function. Before the Node B goes out of
service, the UE is handed over to another 2G or 3G cell as the Node B gradually
reduces the cell pilot power. Such a handover prevents service interruption
 Providing the topology scanning of RRU networking and automatically monitors
the topology to free manual operations
 Providing the complete system self-testing function to support local software
commissioning

6 Reliabili
ty
Overview
The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs introduce a new system structure and provide a
complete redundancy design. It also takes advantage of large-capacity ASIC chips to
enhance the integrity of modules, reduce the number of parts and greatly improve the
reliability of the system.
System Reliability
The system reliability of the Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs is embodied in the load-sharing
and redundancy configuration design, which optimizes the fault detection/isolation
technology of boards and systems and greatly improves the reliability of the system.
Redundancy Design
The main control board, transmission board, power supply unit and fan in the Node B
all support redundancy. The BBU supports load sharing.
The CPRI port that connects the BBU and the RRU supports ring networking. When
one CPRI link is faulty, the Node B can automatically switch to another CPRI link.
The key data such as software version and data configuration files in the Node B
supports redundancy.
Reliability Design
The Node B can automatically self-detect and diagnose hardware failure and
environment related problems and then report alarms. It also attempts to conduct
self-healing to clear faults. If the self-healing fails, it can automatically isolate the
faults.
Page 50 Total 73
Technical Brief
Hardware Reliability
Board Insertion Failsafe
The backplane and boards have been designed to ensure that when a board is
wrongly inserted into a slot [of another board], the board does not connect to the
backplane and as a result damage does not occur.
Over Temperature Protection

When the ambient temperature of the power amplifier on the RRU is too high, the
Node B generates over temperature alarms and immediately switches off the power
amplifier to prevent it from damage.
Power Supply Reliability

Power supply units of the Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs are also reliable in the following
aspects:
 The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs has wide-range voltage and surge protection
functions.
 The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs provides power failure protection for programs and
data.
 The boards protect power supply against over-voltage, over-current and reverse
connection of positive and negative poles.
 Hierarchical shutdown
The outdoor Node B performs shutdown for the PA according to the backup
power capacity.
Surge Protection Reliability

The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs take surge protection measures on AC/DC power
sockets, input/output signal ports (E1 port, interconnection port and Boolean alarm
port), antenna connectors and GPS ports.
Software Reliability
Software reliability includes the redundancy of key files and data and the powerful
error tolerance of software.
Software Redundancy
The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs provide redundancy for key files and data such as
software versions and data configuration files to prevent them from damage and to
ensure the normal running of the Node Bs.
 Redundancy of software versions
The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs provide separate redundancy for software versions
including the BootROM software version to avoid version problems. If one
version is faulty, the Node B can switch to the backup version.
 Redundancy of data configuration files
Page 51 Total 73
Technical Brief
The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs provide separate redundancy for data configuration
files to avoid interrupting the running of the files. If the current file is faulty, the
backup file can still work properly.
Error Tolerance
Should a software fault develop, it does not affect the entire Node B because the
system is capable of self-healing. The software error tolerance functions are as
follows:
 Scheduled detection of key resources
The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs perform occupancy check on software resources. If
a resource hang-up occurs due to software faults, the Node B can release the
unavailable resources in time and export logs and alarms.
 Task monitoring
During the running of software, the Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs monitor the internal
errors of all software and some hardware faults, if any. The Horizon 3G-nx Node
Bs also monitor task progress and running status, report alarms when the system
is faulty and try to restore the task by self-healing.
 Data Consistency Check
The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs perform scheduled or event-triggered data
consistency checks and can restore the data consistency preferably or
preferentially. Additionally the Node Bs generate related logs and alarms.
 Dongle
The Horizon 3G-nx Node Bs can detect the irregular running status of the
software and then automatically reset the system through the dongles at both
software and hardware levels.
