dividing for baseband signals and RF signals. The RFU can be a DRFU or a GRFU. The
DRFU supports two carriers while the GRFU supports more than two carriers.

Technical Description(II)
IP Clock
The IP clock acts as the clock source of the BTS3900/BTS3900A, when the BTS uses the IP
over FE transmission mode. The IP clock requires the configuration of the IP clock server in the
network. The IP clock server carries the reference clock information in the UDP data packet,
and then transmits the clock packets to the BTS. The BTS then resolves the clocks signals from
the clock packet and uses these signals as reference clock source.
Line Clock
The BBU3900 directly extracts the clock from the E1/T1 interface. Then, the BBU exports the
precise 2 MHz and 8 kHz clocks after frequency dividing, phase locking, and phase adjusting.
The 2 MHz and 8 kHz clocks are used for bit synchronization and frame synchronization in the
BTS. The line clock consists of the trace BSC clock and trace transmission clock. The BTS
extracts the clock signals from the BSC through the E1/T1 interface and uses them as the
reference clock source. When the transmission mode of the BTS is upgraded from E1/T1 mode
to IP mode, if there is no IP clock, the BTS extracts the clock signals from the transmission
network through the E1/T1 interface and use them as the reference clock source.
Free-Run Clock
In the absence of external clocks, the internal free-run clock ensures that the BTS keeps working
properly for at least ninety days.
External Clock
If the BBU3900 is configured with the USCU, the USCU can receive the external clock signals
for the GTMU. The USCU supports clock signals including the GPS clock signal, RGPS clock
signal, and BITS clock signal.

(3) Transmits the baseband signals to the relevant operation units for decryption and deinterleaving
(4) Encapsulates the processed signal in the format of the HDLC frame and then in the
format of the CPRI frame, and then transmits the signal to the BBU through the CPRI
signal cable
3.
After receiving the signals, the BBU processes the signals as follows:
(1) Decapsulates the high-speed CPRI frames to obtain the data in the format of the HDLC
frame
(2) Obtains the UDP/IP header information corresponding to the HDLC data packet in
the configuration data, and then encapsulates the HDLC frame payload in the UDP/
IP format. Then, the BBU checks the ARP table, finds the destination MAC address,
encapsulates the packets in the MAC format, and transmits the packets to the BSC
through FE transmission.
Signaling Flow
The BTS3900/BTS3900A signaling flow refers to the signaling on the Abis interface. The BBU
serves as the control unit and works with the RFUs to process the signaling. Figure 6-9 shows
the signal flow of signaling processing.

6.
The BBU decapsulates the received CPRI signals to obtain the data of the RFU status.
7.
The BBU analyzes and processes the baseband signals to obtain the BTS status, and then
sends the status data encapsulated in the UDP/IP format to the BSC through FE
transmission.

BTS3900A GSM
Technical Description(II)
The topologies of the BTS include the TDM networking, IP networking, and HDLC networking.
In practice, these topologies can be combined. Optimum utilization of the topologies can improve
the quality of service and lower the investment on the transmission equipment.
TDM Networking
The E1/T1 transmission is used between the BSC and the BTS, and the TDM transmission is
used on the Abis interface. The TDM networking can be classified into the star topology, chain
topology, tree topology, and ring topology.
Figure 7-1 shows the star topology.

Technical Description(II)
If multiple hardware configurations meet the requirements for the RNP parameter settings,
the configuration mode that supports smooth upgrades is preferred.
The DRFU is applicable to small- and middle-capacity scenarios; the GRFU is applicable
to large-capacity scenarios. The DRFU and GRFU can be configured in the same cabinet
or cell to support flexible capacity expansion.
Wide coverage is preferred. The DRFU supports the PBT, TX diversity, and 4-way RX
diversity mode. Therefore, the DRFU can be applied to wide-coverage scenarios.
By default, RX diversity is adopted on the GSM network. That is, two feeders connected
to two single-polarized antennas or one dual-polarized antenna must be configured in a
cell.
Each sector of the BTS must be configured with the minimum number of antennas.
For the 2-way RX diversity, each sector has two antenna channels; for the 4-way RX
diversity, each sector has four antenna channels.

In S3/3 configuration, three

configured. The carriers
provided by the middle
DRFU belong to different
cells. That is, the Rx1 in port
on the middle DRFU is the
input port for RX diversity of
carrier 1, which belongs to
the first cell. The input port
for RX main of carrier 1 is
ANT1. The Rx2 in port is the
input port for RX diversity of
carrier 2, which belongs to
the second cell. The input
port for RX main of carrier 2
is ANT2.

Number of GRFUs
In S3/5/4 configuration,
S5 can be divided into S3
+ S2. Then, the cell
configuration becomes
S3/(3/2)/4.
In S2/5/5 configuration,
the first S5 is divided into
S2 + S3; the second S5 is
divided into S3 + S2.
Then, the cell
configuration becomes
S2/(2/3)/(3/2).
