RAN12.0 3900 Series NodeB Product Description

Introduction

1.1 Product Positioning

The mobile communications industry has been surging forward by establishing a dynamic
growth with the development of technologies and products. The growing trend of mobile
communications comprises a series of evolution, from GSM to Enhanced Data rates for GSM
Evolution (EDGE) to EDGE+ and from WCDMA to High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) to
HSPA+ and Long Term Evolution (LTE), and it is worth mentioning that WiMAX also joins
the 3G family. To follow the trend, the network operators have to contribute more CAPEX
and OPEX to the dramatic change of technologies, and therefore they are currently focusing
on merging multiple network systems into a more cost-effective one.
After the transition of mobile networks, the network operators target at the Blue Ocean
Strategy and invite innovative and responsive partners. Being customer-oriented and
innovative, Huawei advocates four basic technological concepts: green, merge, wideband, and
evolution. Huawei will take the lead in developing the next-generation base stations and the
3900 series NodeBs, which are Huawei's SingleBTSs. This will outclass other base stations to
benefit operators with future-oriented networks.
Huawei unveils cutting-edge techniques in the 3900 series NodeBs, such as wideband,
multi-mode system, and modular design. The 3900 series NodeBs consist of only three basic
functional modules, characterized by compact structure, high integration, low power
consumption, and easy and quick deployment. Flexible combinations of functional modules
and auxiliary devices enable Huawei to diversify the products. More importantly, the modules
of different modes (GSM/UMTS/LTE) can be installed in one cabinet to work as a base
station adapting to different scenarios. Huawei also introduces new frequency bands and
technologies to efficiently meet operators' requirement for a compact multi-mode mobile
network system.
Figure 1-1 shows the basic functional modules and auxiliary devices of the 3900 series
NodeBs.

1.2 Product Features

Adaptable to Diversified Radio Environments
Different combinations of functional modules and auxiliary devices diversify the NodeB
products. For example, there are macro NodeB, distributed NodeB, and mini compact NodeB,
which operate in different scenarios to efficiently meet different network deployment
requirements.
The 3900 series NodeBs provide a platform for the Huawei wireless products. Specifically,
the base stations of different network systems such as GSM, WCDMA, CDMA, and WiMAX
can share the same cabinet or even share one functional module at the same frequency band
(based on the Software Definable Radio (SDR) technology), which makes it easy for network
operators to choose a site type.

RAN12.0 3900 Series NodeB Product Description

Greatly Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

The 3900 series NodeBs have many advantages, such as flexible installation, easy site
selection, cost-effective solution, and fast network construction. The baseband module
(BBU3900) is only 19 inches wide and 2 U high, taking a very small indoor space or taking a
place in an outdoor cabinet. The RF module (RRU) can be installed close to the antenna
without taking any space of the equipment room.
The RRU3806 supports up to four carriers with an output power of 80 W, known as the
highest output power of the RRU in the telecom industry. The outstanding performance
ensures wide coverage and high throughput. When two carriers are configured for the
RRU3806, the number of sites can be reduced by 40%.
Based on the IP switch and multi-carrier technologies, the 3900 series NodeBs support
multiple transmission ports, which keep up with the fast growing mobile data services and
provide users with the higher data transmission rate.

Low Power Consumption and Energy-Saving

The 3900 series NodeBs use the high-efficiency digital Power Amplifier (PA), which greatly
reduces power consumption and helps build a green communication network. Compared with
the traditional NodeB, the macro NodeB (BTS3900) has its power consumption reduced by
30%; compared with the traditional macro NodeB, the BTS3900A cabinet, which is in
direct-ventilation, has its power consumption reduced by 40%. The power consumption of the
NodeBs is greatly reduced, which makes it possible to be powered by the green energy such
as the solar energy.
The 3900 series NodeBs also monitor and manage the solar and diesel power devices, which
improves the maintainability and operability of the NodeB. Thus, NodeBs can be more
environment friendly.

Smooth Evolution to Future Radio Network Systems

The 3900 series NodeBs support HSPA+ and LTE in terms of hardware, and smooth evolution
to HSPA+ and LTE is supported through software upgrade in future, thus fully protecting the
investment of network operators.

RAN12.0 3900 Series NodeB Product Description

Application Scenarios

3.1 Overview
Huawei 3900 series NodeB products can be configured in different ways. Therefore, these
products can be deployed in different application scenarios, thus providing a perfect
whole-network solution for operators. The Huawei 3900 series NodeBs consist of the indoor
macro NodeB (BTS3900 and BTS3900L), outdoor macro NodeB (BTS3900A), distributed
NodeB (DBS3900), and mini NodeB (BTS3900C).
The application scenarios are as follows:

The BTS3900 and BTS3900L are mainly applicable to indoor installation scenarios
where traffic is heavy, equipment room rental is high, and space is limited.

The BTS3900A is mainly applicable to outdoor scenarios where large-capacity coverage

is required in urban, suburban, and rural areas.

The DBS3900 is mainly applicable to outdoor application scenarios where wide

coverage is required and site construction is difficult.

The BTS3900C is mainly applicable to outdoor coverage and hot-spot coverage.

3.2 Application Scenarios

3.2.1 Distributed NodeBDBS3900
As there are increasing concerns about environmental protection and lease cost, site selection
has become a bottleneck in network deployment. It is increasingly difficult to adopt 2G/3G
co-siting or to select a new site.
The distributed NodeB (DBS3900) developed by Huawei features high integration, easy
installation, and low power consumption. All these features facilitate site reselection and
2G/3G co-siting. In addition, the RRU can be installed close to the antenna. In this way, the

3.2.6 Multi-Mode Co-Cabinet Base Station

The 3900 series NodeBs feature a unified platform and a modular design. Therefore, co-siting
of modules in GSM, UMTS, or LTE mode can be supported, the baseband processing units
and RF modules can share the same hardware platform, and modules in different modes can
be located in one cabinet to support multi-mode application. This helps implement smooth
evolution from GSM to UMTS and further to LTE.
With baseband modules for different modes configured in one BBU, together with other
modules configured, the base station can support the GSM mode, UMTS mode, or
GSM/UMTS dual mode. In addition, with the baseband modules for LTE mode configured in
the future, the base station can support the GSM/UMTS/LTE multi-mode application.
With RF modules for different modes configured in one cabinet, the base station can support
the GSM mode, UMTS mode, or GSM/UMTS dual mode.
The RRU3808 and RRU3806 are LTE-ready in hardware. Thus, the base station can support
UMTS/LTE dual-mode through software upgrade if the RF modules in UMTS mode and
those in LTE mode work at the same frequency band.
Figure 3-9 and Figure 3-10 show the multi-mode base stations for indoor and outdoor
applications respectively.
