A UMPT isconfigured inBBU 0.

A UMPT isconfigured inBBU 1.

The CI port on theUMPT in BBU 0is connected to theCI port on theUMPT in BBU 1using a BBUinterconnectioncable.

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 thefollowing 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 connectBBUs 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 oran eNodeB and is logically called BTSCTRLLNK for a GBTS. By default, BBU 1 is the localnode 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 fora 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.

5.3.2 Subracks and Hardware Configurations for the BBUsFor the installation locations and hardware configurations of BBU 0 and BBU 1 in each cabinetwhen a new multimode base station is deployed, see 3900 Series Base Station HardwareDescription.

In UCIU+UMPT interconnection, the UCIU is controlled by only one single-mode main controlboard. 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 theUCIU.

When deploying a new Multimode base station, you are advised to comply with the followingrules 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 UCIUremain unchanged. Alternatively, you can modify the controlling mode based oninformation 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 unchangedno matter whether the mode controlling the UCIU is first deployed. However, it is recommendedthat the mode controlling the UCIU be first deployed. By doing this, UCIU-related alarms canbe reported in time.

5.3.3 Transmission ModesWith BBU Interconnection, a base station supports the following:

l Independent transmission

l Inter-BBU co-transmission

Page 19: BBU Interconnection(SRAN9.0_Draft a)

Independent TransmissionIn a triple-mode base station deployment scenario, each mode is connected to the transportnetwork through its own port and is deployed in the same way as that in a single-mode basestation.

In UMTS baseband capacity expansion scenarios, both BBUs have a UMTS main control board,and either BBU can be connected to the RNC through the Iub interface. However, it isrecommended that BBU 0 be connected to the RNC.

Inter-BBU Co-TransmissionFor engineering guidelines about co-transmission, see Common Transmission FeatureParameter Description. A multimode base station supports the following co-transmission modesto implement inter-BBU co-transmission:

l UMPT-based co-transmission through backplane interconnectionAll modes except the one controlling the UMPT send their data to the UMPT through BBUbackplanes and BBU interconnection signal cables. The co-transmission port on the UMPTis connected to the transport network, and the link between the port and transport networkcarries 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 interconnectionAll modes send their data to the UTRPc through BBU backplanes and BBU interconnectionsignal 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 themultimode 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 followingconfiguration restrictions:

l The UTRPc can be controlled by only one mode whose main control board is installed inthe same BBU as the UTRPc.

l When deploying a new multimode base station, it is recommended that you deploy thecontrol mode of a UTRPc following a priority descending from LTE, to UMTS, and thento 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 modedeployment order when an Multimode base station works in different modes.

5.3.5 ClocksWith BBU Interconnection, a base station uses one of the following clocks:

l Independent reference clockl Common reference clock

Independent Reference ClockIn triple-mode base station deployment scenarios, the reference clock for each mode is the sameas that in a single-mode base station.

WBBPfIn UMTS baseband capacity expansion scenarios, both BBU 0 and BBU 1 have aWBBPf. The reference clock can be configured in either BBU.

Common Reference ClockThe common reference clock can be configured in either BBU 0 or BBU 1. The BBU configuredwith the common reference clock shares control data and clock signals with the other BBUthrough a BBU interconnection signal cable and the BBU backplane.

For engineering guidelines about the common reference clock, see Common Reference ClockParameter Description.

5.4 Feature Deployment

5.4.1 Deployment RequirementsNone.

5.4.2 Data Preparation

Upgrade to Triple-Mode Base StationsPerform 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 andUMPT.
