6 Reliability
6.1 System Reliability
Based on load sharing and redundancy configuration, the BTS3900A optimizes the
technique of detecting/isolating the faults on the board and in the system for the
system reliability improvement.
Redundancy configuration
The transmission unit, power supply unit, and FAN unit in the system support
redundancy configuration, and the BBU supports load sharing.
The BBU and DRFUs form a ring. When a DRFU in the ring fails, anticlockwise
switchover is performed; thus greatly improving the system reliability.
Crucial system data, such as software releases and data configuration files, are
backed up to ensure the normal system operation in case of data corruption.
Reliability
The BTS3900A system automatically detects and diagnoses the faults in the
software and hardware, and reports the alarms. In addition, the BTS3900A can
monitor the environment and report environment alarms.
6.2 Hardware Reliability
Overcurrent protection
The power system of the BBU and DRFU is protected against overcurrent,
improper insertion, and inverse insertion.
Overtemperature protection
The BBU and DRFU are protected against high temperature. When the internal
temperature is high, the system automatically performs power derating or
switches off the power amplifier based on the current temperature. When the
temperature restores normal, the system increases the power level or switches
on the power amplifier.
Monitoring mechanism
The BBU can monitor the environment and reports alarms.
Reliable power supply
Provides a wide range of voltages and surge protection

protection measures are taken for the AC/DC ports, input/output signal ports of
the cabinet (E1 port and Boolean port), antenna port, and GPS port.
6.3 Software Reliability
Software reliability is guaranteed through data redundancy and powerful error
tolerance.
6.3.1 Data Redundancy
Crucial system data, such as software releases and configuration files, are backed up
to ensure the normal system operation in case of data corruption.
Redundancy of software releases
The system backs up the software releases, including the BOOTROM, in different
partitions. When a software release is faulty, the backup release can be used
instead.
Redundancy of data configuration files
The system backs up the data configuration files in different partitions. When the
running data configuration files are corrupted, the backup data configuration files
can be used instead.
Redundancy of the operation logs
The system records the user operations in a certain period and backs up the
information in the operating logs. When the system incurs an unknown error, the
maintenance personnel can locate the problem by tracing back to the normal
status, or perform the data restoration.
6.3.2 Error Tolerance
The error-tolerance ability prevents the system crash due to the software error. That is,
the system has the self-healing ability. The error-tolerance ability of the system is
described as follows:
Scheduled detection on the key resources
Usage check is performed on the software in the system to release the
suspended software resources and generate logs and alarms.
Task monitoring
During the software running, the monitoring process monitors all the tasks. When
an error occurs in the software or the hardware is faulty, the monitoring process
reports alarms and attempts to restore the normal running of the software.
Data check
The system checks data consistency on a regular or event-triggering basis,
restores data consistency selectively or preferably, and generates related logs
and alarms.

B Glossary
A
Abis interface An interface between the BSC and the BTS.
Antenna A device that converts the electromagnetic energy. It is used to radiate and
collect radio waves. In transmission, it converts the high-frequency current to
the electromagnetic wave; in reception, it converts the electromagnetic wave to
the high-frequency current.

B
Baseband Baseband is a form of modulation in which the information is applied directl y to
the physical transmission medium.
BSS Base station system. The BSS system consists of the BSCs and the BTSs. The
BSS is controlled by the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) and communicates
with the MS in the radio coverage area.
BTS Base transceiver station. The mobile communications system consists of the
MS, BSS, and NSS. The BSS consists of the BTS and the base station
controller (BSC).

C
Carrier
A sine wave whose bandwidth is much higher than the signal bandwidth. The
carrier is identified by amplitude, frequency, and phase.

D
Double-transceiver A mode in which a board provides two TRXs.

EDGE Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution. A data-enhanced mobile technology
based on the GSM/GPRS network. It is also called the 2.75 generation
technology. As a high-speed mobile data standard that remarkably improves
the efficiency of the GPRS channel encoding, EDGE allows the data rate up to
384 kbit/s; thus fully meeting the broadband requirements of radio multi-media
applications in the future.

F
Four-way receive
diversity
A technology in which signals are received in four routes, which can gain more
uplink diversity gain than the main diversity.

G
GPRS General Packet Radio Service. A new mobile data service available to almost
every GSM system. It is a connectivity solution based on Internet Protocols that
supports a wide range of end-to-end and WAN applications. GPRS is a
technology between the second (2G) and third (3G) generations of mobile
telephony.
GSM The Global System for Mobile Communications is originally developed as a
pan-European standard for digital mobile telephony. GSM has become the
world's most widely used mobile system. It covers GSM900, DCS1800, and
PCS1900 with the data rate 9.6 kbit/s.

H
Handover
One of the important technologies in the radio communications that hands over
an ongoing call from one radio channel to another to maintain the traffic
connection. The handover can be implemented within a cell or in different cells.

R
Receive diversity
The most common type of diversity, where a mobile device uses two physically
separate antennas to combine signals from the two antennas to reduce the
impact of spatial variations in signal strength and thus increase the average
data rate available - sometimes dramatically.

S
SDH Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. A communication transmission mechanism
defined by the ITU-T. It is derived from the Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy
(PDH).

T
TMA Tower Mounted Amplifier. A low noise amplifier installed on the antenna.
Transmit diversity A method to realize the multi-path which optimizes the downlink signals.

TRX
Transceiver. An entity that serves up to eight TCHFs in full-duplex mode. If the
low-speed FH is not used, a TRX serves one RF carrier.

U
Um interface Also called radio interface. A standard interface between the MS and the BSS.
