What is a UBBP?
The universal baseband processing unit (UBBP) can serve as a baseband processing board working in any mo
A UBBP board can be configured in either a BBU3900 or a BBU3910.
 For details, see section "UBBP" in BBU Hardware Description.

What are the functions and working principle of a UBBP board?

The UBBP performs the following functions:
Multiplexes baseband resources among different modes, thereby supporting multimode concurrency.
Provides CPRI ports for communication with RF modules and processes uplink and downlink baseband si
The working principle of the UBBP is shown in the following figure.

For details, see section "UBBP" in BBU Hardware Description.

What are the types of UBBP boards?

From SRAN9.0 onwards, UBBP boards are classified into the following types: UBBPd1, UBBPd2, UBBPd3
UBBPd6, and UBBPd9.
All UBBP boards have the same appearance: On the upper left of a UBBP panel, there is a silkscreen "UBBP
of a UBBP panel, there is a label indicating the type of a UBBP board.

For details, see section "UBBP" in BBU Hardware Description.

What modes are supported by UBBP boards?

Board Type Applicable Mode
UBBPd1 GSM single mode
UBBPd2 UMTS single mode
GU baseband concurrency
UBBPd3 GSM single mode
UBBPd5 UMTS single mode
LTE FDD single mode
GU baseband concurrency
GL baseband concurrency
UBBPd4 GSM single mode
UMTS single mode
LTE FDD single mode
LTE TDD single mode
GU baseband concurrency
GL baseband concurrency
UBBPd6 GSM single mode
UMTS single mode
LTE FDD single mode
LTE TDD single mode
GU baseband concurrency
GL baseband concurrency
UL baseband concurrency
GUL baseband concurrency
UBBPd9 LTE TDD single mode
For details, see section "UBBP" in BBU Hardware Description.

Each mode can use multiple UBBP boards. How to select UBBP boards for each mode at a site?
The principles for configuring UBBP boards are as follows:
First, select UBBP boards according to the mode in which the UBBP boards work in. For example, if the
select any of the following UBBP boards: UBBPd1, UBBPd2, UBBPd3, UBBPd4, UBBPd5, and UBBPd
Second, select UBBP boards according to specifications required by each mode. For example, if the GSM
more than 24 2R carriers are required, only the UBBPd5 and UBBPd6 boards can be used.
 Third, select UBBP boards according to the mode to which the current mode is to be evolved. For exampl
now works in GSM mode and needs to work in GUL mode in the future, only the UBBPd6 board can be u
UBBPd5 board does not support GUL baseband concurrency.
For details, see section "BBU Board Configuration" in 3900 Series Base Station Configuration Principle

Is a UBBP in a BBU3900 configured in the same slot as that in a BBU3910?

No matter whether it is in a BBU3900 or BBU3910, a UBBP can be configured in any of slots 0 to 5, as show
figure:

When configured in a BBU3900, UBBP boards in different slots provide different capabilities.
In UMTS mode, only the UBBP board in slot 2 or 3 can provide CPRI ports.
In GSM mode, the UBBP board in any of slots 0 to 3 can provide CPRI ports.
In LTE mode, the UBBP board in any of slots 0 to 5 can provide CPRI ports.
When configured in a BBU3910, UBBP boards in different slots provide the same capabilities, that is, the UB
can provide CPRI ports.
For details, see section "UBBP" in BBU Hardware Description.

What are the functions of the HEI port on a UBBP panel?

In a triple-mode base station, the HEI port on a UBBP/WBBPf in a BBU is connected to the HEI port on a UBBP/WBBPf in the ot
baseband data between two BBUs through UBBP+UBBP, WBBPf+UBBP, or WBBPf+WBBPf.
Currently, only the UBBP boards working in UMTS mode support baseband interconnection.

For details, see BBU Interconnection Feature Parameter Description and section "Inter-BBU Signal Cabl
chapter "Cable Connections" in 3900 Series Base Station Cables.

What impact can be brought on services carried by a base station when a UBBP board is replaced, or remo
again?
Replacing, or removing and inserting again a UBBP board has the following impact on services carried by a b
When the UBBP serving as the converging party in a base station using the CPRI MUX feature is reset ab
and inserted again, data and voice services of the converged party will be interrupted.
When the UBBP serving as the converged party in a base station using the CPRI MUX feature is reset abn
and inserted again, data service rate of the converging party will decrease. However, voice services of the
will not be affected.

Can a UBBP be used as a spare part to replace a WBBP or LBBP?

No, a UBBP cannot be used as a spare part to replace a WBBP or LBBP.
If a WBBP or LBBP needs to be replaced by a UBBP, software configurations need to be modified after hard
complete.
In terms of hardware, the operations of replacing a WBBP with a UBBP are the same as those of replacing a W
WBBP. For details, see section "Replacing the WBBP" in the corresponding site maintenance guide. For deta
configuration modification, see GBSS&RAN Reconfiguration Guide for BSC6910 and eRAN Reconfiguration
