WCDMA NodeB Chapter 1 Introduction

Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Huawei WCDMA NodeB Family

1.1.1 Overview of Huawei WCDMA NodeB Family

Huawei WCDMA NodeB family includes BTS3812, BTS3806, BTS3806A, BTS3802C,

and RRU.
This chapter presents Huawei WCDMA NodeB family from the perspectives of type,
capacity, configuration supported, and the components of cabinets.

1.1.2 BTS3812

BTS3812 is an indoor macro NodeB with large capacity, supporting up to 12 cells. The
BTS3812 supports combined cabinets, which have larger capacity as up to 24 cells. In
addition, BTS3812 supports cascading with several remote radio units (RRU)
configuration.
A BTS3812 cabinet includes a baseband subrack, a radio frequency (RF) subrack and
a linear power amplifier (LPA) subrack. The baseband subrack performs the baseband
processing of NodeB service data. The RF subrack performs the intermediate
frequency (IF) and RF processing of NodeB service data. The LPA subrack amplifies
downlink (DL) RF signals and enhances power.

1.1.3 BTS3806

BTS3806 is an indoor macro NodeB with medium capacity, supporting up to six cells.
BTS3806 supports cascading with several RRUs.
BTS3812 and BTS3806 use the same types of boards and modules, and work with the
same operational principles. However, BTS3806 has smaller capacity, and the number
of some types of boards is smaller than that of BTS3812.

1.1.4 BTS3806A

BTS3806A is an outdoor macro NodeB with medium capacity, supporting up to six

cells. BTS3806A can adapt itself to complicated climates and electro-magnetic
environments. It is an important supplement to indoor NodeBs. BTS3806A supports
cascading with several RRUs.
BTS3806 and BTS3806A use the same types of boards and modules, and work with
the same operational principles. However, some other modules, for example, the
temperature control device, environment monitoring device, transmission device, and

1-1
Hardware Description Manual – Cabinets and Cables
WCDMA NodeB Chapter 1 Introduction

battery, are integrated into the BTS3806A cabinet, thus making the NodeB an
independent and integrated system that meets the protection requirements of outdoor
equipment.

1.1.5 BTS3802C

BTS3802C is an indoor or outdoor mini NodeB, supporting up to two cells. BTS3802C

features high integration, small size, and easy installation. As an mini NodeB,
BTS3802C can perform NodeB services independently.
A BTS3802C cabinet includes one NodeB main control unit (NMCU), one NodeB power
supply unit (NPSU), and two NodeB digital and radio units (NDRU). The NMCU
performs the baseband processing of NodeB service data. The NDRU performs the IF
and RF processing of NodeB service data. NPSU provides BTS3802C with working
power supply.

1.1.6 RRU

RRU is an indoor or outdoor remote radio unit, supporting up to two cells. It features
high integration, small size and easy installation. As a remote radio unit of such macro
NodeBs as BTS3812, BTS3806 and BTS3806A, RRU needs to cooperate with its
macro NodeB to complete NodeB services. RRU share the baseband processing and
NodeB main processor and timing unit (NMPT) resources of a macro NodeB by
connecting with it through fibers.
An RRU cabinet includes one NodeB radio remote interface (NRRI), one NPSU, and
two NDRUs. The NRRI, together with NodeB interface processing units (NIFP) in a
macro NodeB, transfers RRU service data to the macro NodeB. The macro NodeB
performs the baseband processing of RRU service data. The NDRU performs the IF
and RF frequency processing of NodeB service data. The NPSU provides RRU with
working power supply.

signal circuits for the boards inside the subracks, and provide ports for inter-subrack
cable connection.
BTS3806 includes three backplanes as follows:
z NBCB: The NBCB is on the back of the baseband subrack. There is no jumper on
the NBCB. The ports on the NBCB connect the clock and control signal cable
between the NMPT and RF subrack, the GBUS cable between the NDLP and
NIFP, the I/O cable of the NMON, and power cable.
z NRFB: The NRFB is on the back of the RF subrack. There is no jumper on the
NRFB. The NRFB ports connect to the clock and signal control cable, GBUS cable,
RF cable, and power cable.
z NPAB: The NPAB is on the upper part of the LPA subrack back. Different cable
connections on the NPAB support different NodeB configurations. The NPAB
allocates power supply and signals to each NLPA, and provides RF input ports
and RF output ports.

Notes:
z The RF port wiring on the NRFB and NPAB depend on NodeB configurations. This part focuses on the
cable connections. For more details, refer to section 3.5.3 and section 3.5.4 .
z For the wiring independent of NodeB configurations, refer to section3.6.3 .
