Benefits of the NodeB
The NodeB has an industry-leading modular design of multiple modes and forms, rendering it adaptive to various installation scenarios. This effectively addresses the requirements for the broadband solution, green network construction, and a mobile network of converged multiple modes. Beyond that, this enables the construction of a future-oriented network and smooth evolution to the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system.
Solution Integrating Multiple Technologies

With the unified platform, modular design, and flexible combination of the basic modules and auxiliary devices, the NodeB can be presented in multiple forms. With this solution, BBUs and RF modules of different modes (GSM/UMTS/LTE) can be placed in one cabinet, and cabinets of different modes can be installed in stack mode. The UMTS RF module supports smooth evolution to the LTE system from the perspective of hardware and supports the UMTS/LTE dual-mode NodeB through software upgrade in the same frequency band.
Broadband Solution
l
The outstanding performance of the RRU3804 and WRFU/MRFU ensures wide coverage, high throughput, and less sites.
The RRU3804 and WRFU/MRFU adopt a multi-carrier technology that features 20 MHz bandwidth and 4-carrier configuration. A single RRU3804 supports the 60 W output power at the antenna connector, and a single WRFU/MRFU supports 80 W at the antenna connector. The HSPA service enjoys high bandwidth and short delay. The data rate of the HSPA service can peak at 14.4 Mbit/s in the downlink. The data rate of the HSPA service can peak at 5.76 Mbit/s at the physical layer of the Uu interface in the uplink.
The NodeB supports the High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) at full rate.

The IP-based switching core of the NodeB allows operators to obtain higher bandwidth and facilitates capacity expansion and network adjustment by utilizing the existing IP transmission resources, thereby curtailing the cost of network deployment.
Issue 02 (2009-01-05)
3-1
3 Benefits of the NodeB
The NodeB can provide the Fast Ethernet (FE) port at 100 Mbit/s externally, and the IP Radio Access Network (RAN) can reuse the existing IP transmission resources on the Iub interface. Apart from being more cost-effective than the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)based network, the IP-based network provides the multi-access mode and sufficient transmission bandwidth to satisfy data services with high data rate.
Construction of a Green Network

The compact and modular design, innovative PA, and power consumption management are the keys to a green communication network that provides energy saving features and requires fewer equipment rooms.
l
The RF modules of the NodeB adopt the advanced Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) and ADoherty technologies to raise the power amplification rate to 40%. Thus, the power consumption of the entire NodeB is lowered. The reduced power consumption of the cabinet macro NodeB lowers not only the electricity expense but also the investment in power supply, backup batteries, air conditioners, and heat exchangers.
As one of the most compact macro NodeBs in the industry, the cabinet macro NodeB takes up a small footprint. The RF cabinet of the BTS3900A uses the direct-ventilation design. In comparison with the traditional macro NodeB, power consumption of the BTS3900A is lowered by 40%.
The DBS3900 is characterized by separate baseband and RF modules and distributed installation that facilitate transportation, configuration, and installation.
The BBU3900 of the distributed NodeB is characterized by the small footprint, easy installation, and low power consumption. In addition, the BBU3900 can be placed in the spare space of an existing site. The RRU, small and light, supports installation near the antenna, thus preventing feeder loss. Working in natural heat dissipation mode, the RRU does not require any fans. The high reliability of the RRU reduces the routine maintenance cost.
All the NodeB products can share the baseband modules, RF modules, and power systems, thereby reducing the cost of spare parts and maintenance.
The proceeding features of the NodeB can fully address the concern of operators regarding site acquisition, expedite network rollout, decrease utilization of resources such as manpower, power supply, and space, and lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Smooth Evolution to the Future-Oriented Radio Network

The NodeB, adopting the unified modular design, satisfies the requirements of global operators for service upgrade, network evolution, and deployment of new radio technologies, thus implementing a future-oriented network.
l
The NodeB supports co-cabinet and multi-mode applications of modules in different modes. The hardware of UMTS RF modules supports HSPA+ and smooth evolution to the LTE system. In addition, the BBU of the existing NodeB can be shared to the maximum extent.

5.1 Outdoor Distributed NodeB DBS3900

The outdoor distributed NodeB DBS3900 fully addresses operators' concern over site selection and facilitates network planning and optimization. The DBS3900 enables operators to efficiently deploy a high-performance 3G network with a low TCO by minimizing the investment required in electricity, space resource and decreasing the occupation of labor. With the continuous capacity expansion of the mobile network, site selection for the NodeB has turned into a bottleneck in the network construction phase. Solutions to this problem, such as the 2G/3G co-siting or site reselection, become increasingly difficult to implement and require additional investment. The baseband processing unit BBU3900 of the distributed NodeB is characterized by a small footprint, easy installation, and low power consumption. Thus, it is convenient for the BBU to be installed in the spare space of an existing site. The RRU also has a compact design and light weight, and it can be installed close to the antenna to decrease feeder loss and improve system coverage. The distributed NodeB has flexible applications to meet the requirement of fast network construction in different scenarios.
Integrated Application with BBU3900 + RRU + APM

For a new 3G site, if only the AC power is supplied and backup power is required, the application scenario of BBU3900 + RRU + APM can be used to substitute for the outdoor macro NodeB. Figure 5-1 shows the typical configuration of the BBU3900 + RRU + APM. The details are as follows:
l
The BBU3900 and the transmission device can be installed in the APM, and the RRU can be installed on a metal pole close to the antenna. The APM offers installation space and outdoor protection to the BBU3900, supplies -48 V DC power to the BBU3900 and RRU, and provides functions such as battery management, monitoring, and surge protection.

5.5 Multi-Mode NodeB

The NodeBs feature a unified platform and a modular design. Therefore, co-siting of modules in GSM, UMTS, or LTE mode can be supported, the baseband processing units and RF modules can share the same hardware platform, and modules in different modes can be located in one cabinet to support multi-mode application. This helps implement smooth evolution from GSM to UMTS, and then to LTE. Baseband processing units in different modes can be installed in one cabinet. Through configuration of different-mode baseband modules in one cabinet, the NodeB can support the GSM single mode, UMTS single mode, or GSM/UMTS dual mode. In addition, with the baseband modules in LTE mode configured in the future, the NodeB can support the GSM/ UMTS/LTE multi-mode application. RF modules in different modes can be installed in one cabinet. Through configuration of different-mode RF modules in one cabinet, the NodeB can support the GSM single mode, UMTS single mode, or GSM/UMTS dual mode. The RF modules in UMTS mode are LTE-ready in hardware. The UMTS/LTE dual-mode RF modules can be supported through NodeB software upgrade in the same frequency band.

Advanced Platform-Based Architecture
l l
Features of the NodeB
Featuring the cutting-edge modular design of multiple forms and modes, the NodeB provides various advanced features and functions.
The NodeB that uses the Huawei IP switching-based platform supports the GSM/UMTS dual-mode application, HSPA+, and smooth evolution to the LTE system. The distributed NodeB, cabinet macro NodeB, and compact mini NodeB share the baseband and RF modules. The three types of basic modules (BBU, RRU, and RF module) can form different NodeB products that apply to different scenarios. This reduces cost of equipment and maintenance. The NodeB supports the dual-star GE IP switching technology, thus enabling more powerful internal data exchange and satisfying the requirements of increasing HSPA+ and LTE data volume in the future. The BBU3900 provides eight slots, in which the boards or modules are swappable, and supports smooth capacity expansion and evolution. The RF module integrates the duplexer and the Transceiver Unit (TRU), thus enhancing integration of RF parts and meeting future requirements for a compact, high-efficiency, and low-cost NodeB. A minimized NodeB cabinet is easy to transport and install, and the stack installation mode of NodeB cabinets lowers the requirement for footprints.
High Integration and Large Capacity

l
The BBU3900 contains highly integrated chips and features large capacity. A single BBU3900 supports 24 cells, with 1,536 UL CEs and 1,536 DL CEs. It also supports HSDPA and HSUPA services. A single RRU, WRFU, or MRFU supports the 4-carrier configuration. When the capacity of the NodeB is expanded from 1 x 1 to 1 x 4 or from 3 x 1 to 3 x 4, no extra RRU, WRFU, or MRFU is required.
High Performance
l
The NodeB features high receiver sensitivity. The 2-way receiver sensitivity is better than -129.3 dBm, in the absence of the Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA).
Issue 02 (2009-01-05)

l
The WRFU/MRFU supports the 80 W output power, and the RRU3804 supports the 60 W output power. The efficiency of power amplification is boosted to 40%. The NodeB supports the open-loop TX diversity and closed-loop TX diversity to enhance downlink coverage and capacity.
ATM/IP Dual-Stack Protocol

ATM
l
The User-Network Interface (UNI) mode can be used when transmission resources are inadequate and traffic is low. The NodeB supports the Inverse Multiplexing on ATM (IMA) mode when there are rich transmission resources. This mode features high reliability, high-speed transmission, and low transmission delay. The NodeB supports the fractional ATM mode.
IP The IP transport, 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 operators' investment is drastically reduced.
l
Native IP transport is supported without requirements for additional hardware. Compared with the PWE3 technology, native IP transport enjoys higher transmission efficiency and lower investment because the PWE3 external device is not required. IP over E1 is supported to fully utilize the E1 resources of the existing network and to provide a complete solution of IP transport. The fractional Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) technology is supported. The ATM and IP dual stack is supported to protect operators' initial investment in ATM transport. The compression and multiplexing technologies, such as the multiplexing of PPP header compression, PPPMUX, and IP Header Compression (IPHC), are supported to help achieve high transmission bandwidth efficiency over E1 ports. With the solution of IPHC + PPP compression + PPPMUX, the E1 transmission rate of the 12.2 kbit/s voice service rises by up to 37%. The FP MUX is supported to reduce the number of Medium Access Control (MAC) headers by multiplexing packets and to raise the transmission efficiency over FE ports. With this technology, the FE transmission rate of the 12.2 kbit/s voice service rises by up to 40%. Hybrid transport is supported, which enables different transmission paths to be allocated for services with different QoS requirements. For example, hybrid transport enables realtime services to travel on electrical ports, such as E1/T1 ports, and non-real-time services to travel on Ethernet ports.
l l
Flexible Clock Synchronization Modes

The NodeB supports the following clock synchronization modes to fulfill different clock networking requirements:
l l l
Synchronization with the upper-level clock extracted from the Iub interface Synchronization with the clock obtained from the GPS Synchronization with the external clock such as a 2 MHz clock
6-2

l
Synchronization with the IP clock Without additional hardware, the IP clock is supported through software upgrade, thus providing IP transport with cost-effective clock solutions.
Synchronization with the internal clock The internal stratum-3 clock ensures that the NodeB keeps working properly for at least 90 days when losing the external clock.
HSDPA
l l l
HSDPA and R99/R4 services can be supported by the same carrier. The downlink data rate of a single cell can peak at 14.4 Mbit/s. A single cell supports 15 High Speed Physical Downlink Shared Channel (HS-PDSCH) codes and dynamic code resource allocation. The NodeB supports 12 categories of UE at various rates. A single cell can support 64 HSDPA UEs. The NodeB supports dynamic power allocation. The QPSK and 16QAM modulation modes which raise spectral efficiency are supported.
l l l l
HSUPA
l l l l l
The HSUPA and R99/R4 services are supported by the same carrier. The E-DCH TTI of 10 ms and 2 ms are supported. The uplink data rate of a single cell can peak at 5.76 Mbit/s. A single cell can support 60 HSUPA UEs. The NodeB supports Received Total Wideband Power (RTWP) fast measurement in a period of 2 ms to effectively enhance the reliability of UL loads.
MBMS
l
The NodeB supports the setup, reconfiguration, and deletion of the MBMS notification Indicator Channel (MICH), and handling of the related signaling configuration. Each cell supports 16 Secondary Common Control Physical Channels (SCCPCHs). Each SCCPCH supports four Forward Access Channels (FACHs). Each cell supports 63 MBMS channels.
l l l
Access of High-Velocity UEs

The NodeB allows UEs to move in a cell at the velocity of up to 400 km/h. The UEs can enjoy services in the high-speed vehicles such as express trains or maglev trains.
Enhanced Antenna Technology

l
The RET antenna is supported to optimize network coverage, reduce interference, and expand system capacity. The remote batch OM, batch software upgrade, and batch adjustment of RET antenna downtilts are supported. The automatic scanning of the RET antenna is supported.
Issue 02 (2009-01-05)

l
The Antenna Interface Standard Group (AISG) 1.1 and 2.0 standard interfaces are supported. The cascading of RET antennas is supported, and the tilt of the 2G RET antenna can be controlled through the 3G site.
Same Band Antenna Sharing

l
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 cost of network deployment. The SASU applies to two scenarios: the antenna system shared by 2G and 3G systems and the antenna system shared by two 3G systems. The SASU, which enables two different network systems at the same band to share one antenna system, is an important part of the same band antenna sharing solution. The SASU can greatly reduce the cost and time of the 3G network construction. The SASU supports 900 MHz and 2,100 MHz frequency bands. The SASA is another important part of the same band antenna sharing solution. Although it brings an insertion loss of 0.8 dB in the downlink, it can integrate transmit carriers of two antennas into one antenna, without compromising GSM network performance.
l l
Operation and Maintenance

The NodeB provides two OM platforms: Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) and centralized management center (M2000).
l l
The NodeB supports local maintenance, remote maintenance, and reverse maintenance. The NodeB supports the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). When data is not configured or the NodeB is faulty, the NodeB automatically sets up an OM channel to enhance system reliability and to perform remote troubleshooting. The NodeB supports the configuration baseline, which simplifies the configuration rollback process and enhances reliability of configuration rollback. The NodeB provides the intelligent out-of-service function. Before the NodeB is out of service, the UE is handed over to another 2G or 3G cell when the NodeB gradually reduces the cell pilot power. Such a handover prevents service disruption. The NodeB provides the RRU topology scanning function, which enables automatic monitoring of the RRU topology in real time to help reduce manual intervention. The NodeB provides the complete system self-check function, and thus local commissioning is not required.
Environment Adaptability
To adapt to all kinds of environment, the NodeB provides a comprehensive solution covering power distribution, surge protection, transmission cabling, installation of transmission equipment, and power backup. Outdoor environment

9.1 Topology on the Iub Interface

The NodeB supports multiple topologies on the Iub interface, and it supports ATM transport and IP transport. 9.1.1 ATM-Based Topologies The NodeB supports multiple network topologies, such as star, tree, and chain, when the ATM protocol stack is applied. 9.1.2 IP-Based Topologies In terms of IP-based topologies, the NodeB is enhanced to support the IP hub topology in addition to the traditional star topology.
9.1.1 ATM-Based Topologies

The NodeB supports multiple network topologies, such as star, tree, and chain, when the ATM protocol stack is applied.
Star Topology
The star topology is the most common topology and is applicable to densely populated areas. Figure 9-1 shows the star topology. Figure 9-1 Star topology
Advantages:
l
The NodeB is directly connected to the RNC. Therefore, the star topology features easy maintenance, engineering, and capacity expansion.
9-2

l
Direct data transmission is implemented between the NodeB and the RNC, reducing the number of nodes that signals travel through and enhancing transmission reliability.
Disadvantage: The star topology requires more transmission resources than other topologies.
Chain Topology
The chain topology is applicable to belt-shaped and sparsely populated areas, such as areas along highways and railways. Figure 9-2 shows the chain topology. Figure 9-2 Chain topology
Advantage: The chain topology can reduce cost in transmission devices, engineering, construction, and transmission link lease. Disadvantages:
l l l
Signals travel through many nodes, leading to low transmission reliability. Faults in the upper-level NodeB may affect the operation of the lower-level NodeB. The number of levels in a chain topology cannot exceed five.
Tree Topology
The tree topology is applicable to areas in which the network architecture, site distribution, and subscriber distribution are complicated, for example, hot spot areas in which subscribers are widely distributed. Figure 9-3 shows the tree topology. Figure 9-3 Tree topology

Advantage: The tree topology requires fewer transmission links than the star topology. Disadvantages:
l
Signals travel through many nodes, leading to low transmission reliability and difficulties in construction and maintenance. Faults in the upper-level NodeB may affect the operation of the lower-level NodeB. Capacity expansion is difficult because it may require changes in the network architecture. The number of levels in a tree topology cannot exceed five.

9.1.2 IP-Based Topologies

In terms of IP-based topologies, the NodeB is enhanced to support the IP hub topology in addition to the traditional star topology.
Figure 9-4 IP hub topology
The microwave topology is a typical hub topology and the most important hub scenario. Transmission devices, such as the hub NodeB or transmission gateway, can be placed at the cross points of each tree topology. Typically, the hub NodeB is used for the first-level convergence. Based on capacity requirements, the hub NodeB or the transmission gateway TGW can be used for the second-level convergence. Figure 9-4 shows an example.
9.2 Networking on the CPRI Interface

This describes the networking on the CPRI interface. The network topology between the BBU3900 and the RRUs can be the star, chain, or ring topology. Figure 9-5 shows the typical topologies between the BBU3900 and the RRUs.

NOTE
When the chain topology is applied between the BBU3900 and the RRUs, a maximum of eight cascading levels at 2.5 Gbit/s and four cascading levels at 1.25 Gbit/s can be supported if one RRU supports one 2way RX/1-way TX cell.

Operation and Maintenance of the NodeB
About This Chapter

The OM subsystem of the NodeB manages, monitors, and maintains the software, hardware, and configuration of the NodeB. The OM subsystem also provides various OM modes and multiple maintenance platforms to meet different maintenance requirements. 10.1 OM Modes of the NodeB The NodeB supports two OM platforms: LMT and M2000. 10.2 OM Functions of the NodeB The NodeB OM system provides functions of commissioning management, equipment management, software management, and alarm management.

10.1 OM Modes of the NodeB

The NodeB supports two OM platforms: LMT and M2000. The features of the NodeB OM modes are as follows:
l
The NodeB supports the following OM modes:
Local maintenance: The NodeB is maintained on the LMT through the local Ethernet port of the NodeB. Remote maintenance: The NodeB is maintained through the IP route provided by the RNC. The maintenance is performed on the LMT in an RNC equipment room or on the M2000 client in the centralized maintenance center. Reverse maintenance: Another NodeB under the same RNS is maintained on the LMT through the local Ethernet port of a NodeB and the IP route provided by the RNC.
The NodeB supports the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). When data is not configured or the NodeB is faulty, the NodeB automatically sets up an OM channel to enhance system reliability and to perform remote troubleshooting. The NodeB supports configuration baseline which simplifies the configuration rollback process and enhances reliability of configuration rollback. The NodeB provides the intelligent out-of-service function. Before the NodeB is out of service, the UE is handed over to another 2G or 3G cell when the NodeB gradually reduces the cell pilot power. Such a handover prevents service disruption. The NodeB provides the RRU topology scanning function, which enables automatic monitoring of the RRU topology in real time to help reduce manual intervention. The NodeB provides the complete system self-detection function, and thus local commissioning is not required.
Figure 10-1 shows the NodeB OM network. Figure 10-1 OM network of the NodeB
The NodeB OM network consists of the following elements:


l
LMT: refers to the OM terminal that is installed with the Huawei Local Maintenance Terminal software group and is connected to the OM network of NEs. Through the LMT, you can operate and maintain one NodeB. NodeB: an object to be maintained. RAN configuration system: configures and reconfigures the data of the RNC and NodeB. M2000: maintains multiple NodeB systems in a centralized way. OM channel: provides maintenance channels between the NodeB and the LMT or M2000.
l l l l
10.2 OM Functions of the NodeB

The NodeB OM system provides functions of commissioning management, equipment management, software management, and alarm management.
Commissioning Management
Commissioning management has the following functions:
l l l
Equipment performance test: CPU usage test, clock source quality test, and power detection Routine test, such as E1/T1 performance statistics Service performance test: RF performance test, UL channel scanning, and service resource occupancy statistics
NOTE
The RF performance test is also referred to as the 141 test. It is based on TS25.141 in the 3GPP protocols, which aims at testing the NodeB RF performance.
Equipment Management
Equipment management consists of equipment maintenance and data configuration. Equipment management has the following functions:
l
Maintaining the equipment: board reset, equipment status management, equipment selftesting, active/standby switchover, and time correction Configuring the equipment: configuring, querying, and backing up equipment parameters, such as the NodeB hardware, clock, algorithm, and RF parameter configuration
Software Management
Software management has the following functions:
l l l l
Activating the software Checking the compatibility of software and hardware versions Querying hardware and software versions Upgrading the software version
Alarm Management
Alarm management consists of equipment alarm management and environment alarm management.

l
Equipment alarm management The alarm management system can detect and report equipment faults in real time. The LMT or the M2000 can display alarm information and provide alarm-handling suggestions. The alarm management system of the M2000 is connected to an alarm box through a serial port and supports both audible and visual alarms. The maintenance personnel can subscribe to the alarm information that can be forwarded to their handsets or pagers so that they can handle the faults in time.
Environment alarm management Typically, equipment rooms of NodeBs are unmanned and distributed over a vast area. The equipment in such a room works in a relatively adverse environment, and it may be damaged because of fire, water immersion, or floods. To help you handle such emergencies, the NodeB provides a complete environment alarm management system.
The functions of alarm management are as follows:

l l l l l l l
Alarm testing Alarm reporting Alarm shielding Alarm affirming Alarm pre-processing Alarm correlation processing Alarm help information processing
Security Management
The operation rights for maintenance personnel are divided into multiple levels when both the NodeB and the M2000 are applied. This ensures that the running equipment is free from misoperation.
Environment Monitoring
The environment monitoring system provides customized solutions related to door control, infrared, smoke, water damage, humidity, and temperature monitoring.

11 Reliability of the NodeB

System Reliability
Redundancy design
l
Reliability of the NodeB
The NodeB features a new system architecture and a complete redundancy design. In addition, the NodeB takes advantage of Huawei large-capacity ASIC chips to enhance the integration of modules and to reduce the number of parts, thus significantly improving the system reliability.
The NodeB has the reliability design such as the load sharing and redundancy configuration, and adopts the optimized fault detection/isolation technology of boards and systems, thus greatly improving the reliability of the system.
The main control board, transmission board, power supply unit, and FAN unit in the NodeB all support redundancy. The BBU supports load sharing. The CPRI port that connects the BBU and the RF modules supports the ring topology. When one CPRI link becomes faulty, the NodeB can automatically switch to another CPRI link. The key data such as software versions and data configuration files in the NodeB supports redundancy.
Reliability design The NodeB can automatically perform self-detection and diagnose hardware failures and environment problems, and then report alarms. It also attempts to conduct self-healing to clear faults. If the self-healing fails, the faulty unit is automatically isolated.
Hardware Reliability
Anti-Misinsertion function of boards When a board is wrongly inserted into the slot of another board, the mistaken board cannot be connected to the backplane, and in this way, the equipment is free from damage. Overtemperature protection When the ambient temperature of the PA on the RF module is too high, the NodeB generates overtemperature alarms and immediately shuts down the PA to prevent it from damage. Power supply reliability
11 Reliability of the NodeB

l l l
The NodeB has wide-range voltage and surge protection functions. The NodeB provides power failure protection for programs and data. The boards protect power supply against overvoltage, overcurrent, and reverse connection of positive and negative poles. The hierarchical shutdown is supported. The outdoor NodeB performs shutdown for the PA based on the backup power capacity.
Surge protection design The NodeB takes 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
The software reliability is embodied in the redundancy of key files and data and the powerful error tolerance of software. Redundancy The NodeB provides the backup function for key files and data, such as software and data configuration files, to ensure proper operation of the NodeB when errors occur in these files and data.
l
Redundancy of software versions: The NodeB provides separate redundancy for software versions including the BootROM software version to avoid version problems. If one version becomes faulty, the NodeB switches to the backup version. Redundancy of data configuration files: The NodeB provides separate redundancy for data configuration files. If the current file becomes faulty, the NodeB keeps working properly with the backup file.
Error tolerance capability When the software is faulty, it does not affect the entire NodeB because the system is capable of self-healing. The software error tolerance of the NodeB covers the following aspects:
l
Scheduled detection of key resources: The NodeB performs occupancy check on software resources. If resource hang-up occurs due to software faults, the NodeB can release the unavailable resources in time and generate logs and alarms. Task monitoring: When the software is running, the NodeB monitors the internal errors of all software and some hardware faults, if any. The NodeB also has a monitoring process to monitor running status and report alarms when the system is faulty, and try to restore the task by self-healing. Data consistency check: The NodeB performs scheduled or event-triggered data consistency check and can restore the data consistency preferably or preferentially. Also, it generates related logs and alarms. Watchdog: When a software error occurs, the NodeB can detect the error through the software watchdog and hardware watchdog and automatically reset.
