The BBU, which has a case structure, is 19 inches wide and 2 U high.
The following figure shows the exterior of a BBU.
The BBU is labeled with an equipment serial number (ESN), whose position is as follows:
l If there is a label on the FAN unit of the BBU, the ESN is printed on the label and a mounting
ear of the BBU, as shown in the following figure.
l If there is no label on the FAN unit of the BBU, the ESN is printed on a mounting ear of
the BBU, as shown in the following figure.
NOTE
The ESN is a unique identifier of a device and is used during base station commissioning.
The BBU is a baseband processing unit. It processes baseband signals of a base station.
Working Principle
BBU consists of the following subsystems: baseband subsystem, cabinet subsystem,
transmission subsystem, interconnection subsystem, main control subsystem, monitoring
subsystem, and clock subsystem. Each subsystem consists of different modules.
l The baseband subsystem consists of the baseband processing unit.
l The cabinet subsystem consists of the backplane, fan, and power modules.
l The transmission subsystem consists of the main control and transmission unit as well as
the transmission extension unit.
l The interconnection subsystem consists of the main control and transmission unit(a) as well
as the infrastructure interconnection unit.
l The main control subsystem consists of the main control and transmission unit.
l The monitoring subsystem consists of the power module and monitoring unit.
l The clock subsystem consists of the main control and transmission unit as well as the
universal satellite card and clock unit.
NOTE
(a) In the interconnection subsystem, the UMPT is used as a main control and transmission unit.
Function
The BBU performs the following functions:
l Provides ports for connecting to the transmission equipment, RF modules, USB devicesa,
external reference clock, and LMT or U2000 to provide signal transmission, perform
automatic software upgrade, receive reference clock, and support BBU maintenance on the
LMT or U2000.
l Manages the entire base station system. The management involves the processing of uplink
and downlink data, signaling processing, resource management, and operation and
maintenance.
NOTE
a: The security of the USB port is ensured by encryption, and the USB port can be shut down using
commands. The USB commission port is used for commissioning the base station rather than configuring
and exporting information of the base station.
This chapter describes BBU slot assignment, BBU3910 slot assignment, and BBU3900 slot
assignment.
A BBU has 11 slots. The following figure shows the BBU slot distribution.
In all scenarios, the FAN, UPEU, and UEIU are configured in fixed slots in a BBU. The following
table describes the principles for configuring the FAN, UPEU, and UEIU.
Table 4-1 Principles for configuring the FAN, UPEU, and UEIU
The following table describes the principles for BBU slot assignment.
NOTE
l If two or more baseband boards in GSM mode are required, ensure that at least one of the baseband
board (UBBPd_G or UBRIb) is installed in slot 1, slot 2, or slot 3.
l The UBBP_G installed in slot 4 can not be connected CPRI cables in a GBTS.

l In a UMTS single-mode base station, the UMPT and WMPT cannot be configured in the same BBU.
l The baseband processing board in UMTS mode configured in only slot 3 or 2 can be connected CPRI
cables. The UBBPd_U, WBBPd, or WBBPf is preferentially configured in slot 3 or 2. The priority of
the three kinds of boards is UBBPd_U > WBBPf > WBBPd.
l If five or more baseband processing boards working in UMTS mode are required, ensure that WBBP
or UBBPd_U boards are installed in both slots 2 and 3. At least one of the boards in slots 2 and 3 is
UBBPd_U, WBBPd, or WBBPf.
l If both slots 2 and 3 are occupied by the WBBPa or WBBPb boards, exchange boards to ensure that
the UBBPd_U, WBBPd, or WBBPf is configured in slot 3 or 2. The UBBPd_U, WBBPd, or WBBPf
is preferentially configured in slot 3.
The principles for BBU slot assignment in an LTE FDD base station are the same as those in an
LTE TDD base station. This section uses the BBU slot assignment in an LTE FDD base station
as an example. The following figure shows the BBU slot assignment.

by a single LBBP in LTE TDD scenarios.
NOTE
l The "Antenna Configuration" column lists the maximum configurations supported by various types of
baseband processing boards. A baseband processing board supports the maximum configurations and
any configurations that do not exceed the maximum configurations. For example, the LBBPc supports
the maximum configuration of 3x10 MHz 4T4R, and therefore supports any of the following
configurations: 3x1.4 MHz 4T4R, 3x3 MHz 4T4R, and 3x5 MHz 4T4R.
l As long as the maximum antenna configuration is not exceeded, different cells support different antenna
configurations. For example, if an LBBPd2 supports the 3x20 MHz 2T2R antenna configuration, the
three cells connected to the LBBPc can use the following antenna configurations: 2T2R, 2T2R, and
1T1R.
l Boards with the same antenna configuration support combinations of different bandwidth as long as
the total bandwidth does not exceed the maximum bandwidth supported by the board. For example,
the LBBPc supports the maximum configuration of 3x20 MHz 2T2R, and therefore supports any three
of the following configurations: 1.4 MHz 2T2R, 3 MHz 2T2R, 5 MHz 2T2R, 10 MHz 2T2R, 15 MHz
2T2R, and 20 MHz 2T2R.
l The LBBP supports CPRI convergence when the site is configured with any of the following RF
modules: RRU3221, RRU3240, RRU3828, RRU3829, RRU3928, RRU3929, LRFUe, MRFUd,
RRU3229, RRU3841, RRU3942, RRU3642, RRU3832, RRU3838, and RRU3268. The CPRI
convergence of LBBP boards must comply with the following principles:
l In LBBPc+LBBPc CPRI convergence mode, the CPRI convergence is allowed only between two
LBBPc boards, and one LBBPc board must be configured in slot 2 or 3.
l In LBBPc+LBBPd CPRI convergence mode, the CPRI convergence is allowed only from multiple
LBBPc boards to one LBBPd board, and only the CPRI ports on the LBBPd in slot 2 or 3 can
connect to RF units.
l In LTE TDD scenarios, the LBBPc cannot serve as a converging board and only can be a converged
board.

l CPRI compression is not supported when the cell bandwidth is 5 MHz.
l The LBBPc does not support CPRI compression.
l If the CPRI extension switch is turned on, carrier specifications supported by the LBBPd
with a data rate of 9.8 Gbit/s are affected only when CPRI compression is used. For details
about the CPRI extension switch, see the CPRIEX parameter in the MOD BBP or LST
BBP command. When the CPRI extension switch is turned on, only the CPRI0, CPRI1,
and CPRI2 ports on the LBBPd can be used.
NOTE
The preceding table lists the maximum numbers of cells and antennas supported by each CPRI link with
a corresponding CPRI port rate. In combined RF module scenarios, the CPRI port rate is determined by
the actual numbers of cells and antennas carried by each CPRI link.
