Overview
1.1 Introduction
With the mobile communication technology developing on a daily basis, it is no doubt
that the operators, during network construction and partner selection, will focus their
attention on innovation and integration of multiple advanced technologies for
constructing a cost-effective and future-oriented mobile network.
Upholding the idea of continuous innovation based on customer requirements,
Huawei developed the 3900 series NodeB through integration of multiple radio
resources and technologies. The 3900 series NodeBs, integrating the latest Huawei
technologies in chip design, system architecture, Power Amplification (PA) and power
consumption management, provide NodeB solutions for the future-oriented mobile
network.
During the transition of mobile networks, the 3900 series NodeBs, characterized by
integration, broadband, environment protection, evolution, will help operators
construct a future-oriented mobile network with higher performance.
The 3900 series NodeBs have a cutting-edge modular design, thus compatible with
functional modules of different network systems. With simply three types of units, the
3900 series NodeBs feature small size, high integration, low power consumption,
easy and fast deployment.
The innovative design and flexible combinations of the functional modules and
auxiliary devices lead to the diversity of NodeB products. The operators can install
boards of different network systems in one cabinet to form a NodeB that applies to
different scenarios. This accelerates the introduction of new radio network
technologies and complies with the development trend of the mobile network towards
integration of different network systems.
The 3900 series NodeBs, based on IP switch and multi-carrier technologies, support
the bandwidth of 100 M. This ensures a high data transmission rate for users during
mobile data service expansion.
The optimized hardware and system architecture of the 3900 series NodeBs, together
with the innovative conservation technologies for the PA and power consumption
management, enable the operators to construct a green communication network
through new devices, temperature regulation, and green energy resource utilization.

Distributed NodeB
The distributed NodeB, known as the DBS3900, consists of the BBU3900 and the
RRU. For the distributed installation, the RRU is placed close to the antenna. This
can reduce feeder loss and improve NodeB performance.
1.3 Benefits
The 3900 series NodeBs adopt a uniform modular design for multiple radio network
systems, thus adaptive to various installation scenarios. This greatly reduces the
costs in network deployment and operations, such as site acquisition, capacity and
coverage expansion, and environment protection. The 3900 series NodeBs enable
the construction of a future-oriented network and smooth evolution to the Long Term
Evolution (LTE).

RF units of the 3900 series NodeBs adopt the Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) and
A-Doherty technologies to raise the PA rate to 40%. Thus, the power consumption of
the entire NodeB is lowered.
The RF cabinet of the BTS3900A is a direct-ventilation cabinet. In comparison to the
traditional macro NodeB, equipment power consumption is lowered by 40%.
The reduced power consumption not only avoids extra electricity expense but also
lessens the investment in power supply, backup batteries, air conditioner, and heat

Reliability
6.1 Overview
The 3900 series NodeBs introduce a fresh new NodeB system structure and provides
a complete redundancy design. It also takes advantage of Huawei large-capacity
ASIC chips to enhance the integrity of modules, reduce the number of parts, and
greatly improve the reliability of the system.
Redundancy Design
The main control board, transmission board, power supply unit, and fan in the NodeB
all support redundancy. The BBU supports load sharing.
The CPRI port that connects the BBU and the RRU supports ring networking. When
one CPRI link is faulty, the NodeB can automatically switch to another CPRI link.
The key data such as software version and data configuration files in the NodeB
supports redundancy.
Reliability Design
The NodeB can automatically self-detect and diagnose hardware failure and
environment problems, and then report alarms. It also attempts to conduct
self-healing to clear faults. If the self-healing fails, it can automatically isolate the
faults.
Issue 01 (2008-03-06)
Commercial in Confidence
Page 43 Total 56
Overtemperature Protection
When the ambient temperature of the power amplifier on the RRU is too high, the
NodeB generates overtemperature alarms and immediately switches off the power
amplifier to prevent it from damage.
The 3900 series NodeBs have wide-range voltage and surge protection
functions.
The 3900 series NodeBs provide power failure protection for programs and data.
The boards protect power supply against overvoltage, overcurrent, and reverse
connection of positive and negative poles.
Hierarchical shutdown
The outdoor NodeB performs shutdown for the PA according to the backup power
capacity.
Software Redundancy
The 3900 series NodeBs provide redundancy for key files and data such as software
versions and data configuration files to prevent them from damage and to ensure the
normal running of the NodeBs.
Issue 01 (2008-03-06)
Commercial in Confidence
Page 44 Total 56
The 3900 series NodeBs provide separate redundancy for data configuration files
to avoid interrupting the running of the files. If the current file is faulty, the backup
file can still work properly.
Error Tolerance
When the software is faulty, it does not affect the entire NodeB because the system is
capable of self-healing. The software error tolerance functions are as follows:
Task monitoring
During the running of software, the 3900 series NodeBs monitor the internal
errors of all software and some hardware faults, if any. The 3900 series NodeBs
also monitor task progress and running status, report alarms when the system is
faulty, and try to restore the task by self-healing.
Dongle
The 3900 series NodeBs can detect the irregular running status of the software
and then automatically reset the system through the dongles at both software and
hardware levels.
