    3Redundancy Design

    3.1 RF Channel Cooperation

    With the development of mobile communications, wireless network coverage increasingly

    extends to remote areas along with a rapid increase in demand for network services.

    However, the terrain, climate, or traffic conditions in remote areas may be extreme. As a

    result, network maintenance is difficult and services may be interrupted for an extended

    period of time if a remote radio unit (RRU) is faulty. To facilitate site maintenance, RF

    Channel Cooperation is introduced. With RF Channel Cooperation, when one RF channel

    becomes faulty, the system automatically switches the services carried on the faulty RF

    channel to a functional RF channel. This shortens the period of service interruption caused by

    a fault in the RF channel and improves system reliability.

    Table 3-1describes the features involved in RF Channel Cooperation. For details about these

    features, see the corresponding feature parameter description.

    3.2 RRU Channel Cross Connection Under MIMO

    Only LTE FDD supports LBFD-002034 RRU Channel Cross Connection Under MIMO.

    In sparely populated areas, the RRU or radio frequency unit (RFU) may be installed in a

    remote area, for example, on top of a tower. This makes subsequent equipment maintenancedifficult. If one RRU or RFU fails, the entire sector may lose services for an extended period

    of time. With RRU Channel Cross-Connection Under MIMO, the failure of one RRU or RFU

    will not lead to service interruption for the entire sector. This feature increases RRU or RFU

    reliability without increasing hardware costs.

    As shown in Figure 3-1(using three sectors as an example), an LBBP is connected to

    multiple RRUs. In this case, the data on two TX/RX channels of a cell is transmitted over twofiber optic cables and processed by two RRUs. When a fiber optic cable fails or an RRU has a

    hardware fault, the antenna mode changes from 2T2R to 1T1R to keep the cell working

    LTE FDD LBFD-00202101 Main Processing and Transport Unit Cold Backup

    When a base station is configured with only one main control board, services will be

    interrupted for an extended period of time if this main control board is faulty. To support Cold

    Backup of Main Control Boards, two main control boards working in active/standby mode are

    required. During cold backup, the standby main control board is powered on but does not

    back up the signaling and service data carried by the active main control board. When a fault

    is detected on the active main control board, the active and standby boards switch roles.

    Services carried on the original active board are interrupted but automatically recover within 4

    to 7 minutes. This improves base station reliability.

    Services are interrupted for more than 7 minutes in the following scenarios:

    l The switchover between the two main control boards is triggered by running the SWP

    BRDcommand. In this scenario, services will be recovered within 7 to 9 minutes.

    l The switchover between the two main control boards is triggered after the running active

    main control board is removed. In this scenario, services will be recovered within 7 to 9

    minutes.

    l In a secure networking scenario, if the new active main control board does not have a

    digital certificate or the digital certificate is invalid or expired, services will be recovered

    within 7 to 9 minutes. For details about secure networking scenarios, see TransmissionSecurity Feature Parameter Description.

    Cold Backup of Main Control Boards involves three processes: active/standby competition,

    data backup, and active/standby switchover.

    For details about the engineering guidelines for Cold Backup of Main Control Boards, see

    chapter 8 Engineering Guidelines for Cold Backup of Main Control Boards .

    4.1.2 Active/Standby Competition

    The active/standby competition process determines the role of the two main control boards.

    When a BBU with two main control boards is powered on, the system determines the active

    main control board using active/standby competition if both main control boards function

    properly. If one main control board is not configured or is not functioning properly, the other

    main control board becomes the active one. You can run the DSP BRDcommand to query the

    active/standby status of the main control boards.

    4.1.3 Data Backup

    The main control boards work in cold backup mode. Only static data (for example,

    configuration data, software data, and logs) must be synchronized between the active and

    standby main control boards. Operating data, which requires real-time synchronization in hot

    backup mode, does not need to be synchronized in real time in cold backup mode.

    Data backup consists of initial backup and routine backup, which are described as follows:

    l Initial backup: After the active and standby main control boards are started, the base

    station compares the files on the two boards. Then, the base station copies the files that

    are unique on the active board to the standby board and removes unnecessary files from

    the standby board. During initial backup, configuration data, software data, and logs are

    all backed up using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

    l Routine backup: After the base station completes initial backup, the base station

    periodically compares the files on the active and standby main control boards (every 5

    minutes by default). Then, the base station copies the files that are unique on the active

    board to the standby board using the FTP.

    NOTE

    l During a fault-triggered active/standby switchover, the base station copies only configuration data

    on the active board to the standby board to minimize service interruption duration. Other data is not

    backed up. As a result, data updated between the previous periodic backup and the fault occurrence

    may be lost. However, this impact is negligible because the data backup period is brief and the

    purpose of the active/standby switchover is to ensure service continuity.

    l If an active/standby switchover is triggered during a routine backup, the system backs up data before

    performing the active/standby switchover. In this case, services are interrupted for 1 to 2 minutes

    more than that for a regular active/standby switchover.

    4.1.4 Active/Standby Switchover

    An active/standby switchover between the two main control boards is triggered in one of the

    following scenarios:

    l The active main control board experiences a major hardware fault.

    l A user delivers an MML command to trigger an active/standby switchover.

    The prerequisites and methods for active/standby switchover vary with triggering conditions,as described in Table 4-1.

    When a baseband board fails, the cells or carriers served by this failed baseband board will be

    affected. With Inter-Board Baseband Resource Redundancy, the cells or carriers served by a

    failed baseband board can be reestablished on another operational baseband board withavailable resources. This improves base station reliability.

    To implement this feature, a base station must be equipped with at least two baseband boards

    and these two baseband boards must be installed in the same BBU.

    The base station supports the share of resources in a baseband board. Resources are

    aggregated into a resource pool to be shared for user data processing by multiple cells or

    carriers. If a processing unit is faulty, services carried on the processing unit are interrupted

    and then reestablished on other processing units with available resources. If a processing unit

    is overloaded or the resources for the processing unit are exhausted, the base station can

    transfer users on the processing resource to other resources. This improves system reliability.

    For the LTE, only the LBBPc board supports intra-board baseband resource pool.

    4.3.2 Intra-Board Cell-Level Resource Pool

    Intra-Board Cell-Level Resource Pool for a Single Cell

    For GSM and LTE, when a baseband board allocates several resources to a single cell for load

    sharing (as shown in Figure 4-4), the common processing parts, for example, RACH

    detection, on a failed processing resource can be transferred to other normal resources. This

    process ensures service continuity and automatic and quick service recovery because it does

    not require manual intervention and generally takes less than 500 ms.

    Figure 4-4Intra-board cell-level resource pool for a single cell

    For UMTS, when a baseband board allocates several resources to a single cell for load

    sharing, the common processing parts of the cell can use only one resource. If this resource

    fails, the cells served by this resource can be reestablished on other normal processing

    resources within 20s. This ensures service recovery.

    Intra-Board Cell-Level Resource Pool for Multiple Cells

    When a baseband board allocates several resources to multiple cells (as shown in Figure 4-5),

    the cells served by a failed processing resource can be reestablished on other normal

    processing resources within 20s. This ensures service recovery.

    GSM, UMTS, and LTE support the function of intra-board cell-level resource pool formultiple cells.

    4.3.3 Intra-Board User-Level Resource Pool

    When multiple processing resources are available for one cell, the baseband board can

    dynamically allocate these processing resources to users that access the cell

    Intra-board user-level resource pool is supported in UMTS and LTE, but not in GSM.

    If a baseband board in an eNodeB provides multiple processing resources for one cell,

    multiple users that attempt to access the cell can share these processing resources. When the

    cell has a small number of users, more processing resources can be allocated to a single user

    to increase the data rate for the user. After being admitted, the UE cannot use other resources

    on the baseband board.

    If a baseband board in a NodeB provides multiple processing resources for one cell, multiple

    users that attempt to access the cell can share these processing resources. However, a single

    user can use only one processing resource. After being admitted, the UE can use other

    resources on the baseband board when the attributes of the user must be modified.

    4.4 Heat Dissipation Reliability for Fans

    Fans are used for inner and outer air circulation, allowing heat to dissipate from the

    equipment through a ventilation channel. When a fan on a ventilation channel is faulty, heat

    dissipation will be affected. Fans do not support redundancy design in hardware due to

    inconvenient installation. To ensure adequate heat dissipation, the following functions are

    provided:

    l When the FMU works in intelligent temperature control mode, the FMU adjusts the

    rotation speed of fans based on the temperature control parameters delivered by the

    BBU. If a fan becomes faulty, ALM-25673 Fan Stalled is reported and the policy for

    adjusting the rotation speed of other fans remains unchanged.

    l When the FMU works in temperature control mode and cannot obtain the temperature

    information of the equipment, the FMU adjusts the rotation speed of fans based on the

    ambient temperature. If a fan becomes faulty, ALM-25673 Fan Stalled is reported and

    other fans in the same fan group rotate at full speed to ensure heat dissipation.

    l When the TCU cannot obtain the temperature at the air exhaust vent, fans in the TCU

    rotate at full speed. If a fan becomes faulty, ALM-25673 Fan Stalled is reported and

    other fans in the same fan group rotate at full speed to ensure heat dissipation.

    l When a fan in the FAN unit of the BBU becomes faulty, ALM-26110 BBU Fan Stalled

    and ALM-26111 BBU Fan Not at Full Speed are reported and other fans in the FAN unitrotate at full speed to ensure heat dissipation.

    l When the control signals for a fan in the FMU or TCU are unavailable, the fan in the

    FMU or TCU rotates at full speed.

    l When ALM-26101 Inter-Board CANBUS Communication Failure is reported, fans in

    the BBU rotate at full speed.

    4.5 Power Supply Redundancy

    Power supply redundancy consists of power supply redundancy for a base station and power

    supply redundancy for a BBU.

    4.5.1 Power Supply Redundancy for a Base Station

    PSUs in a base station should be configured in N+1 backup mode. After power supply

    redundancy for a base station is enabled for a Huawei AC-powered base station equipped with

    a PMU, ALM-25636 Loss of Power Supply Redundancy is reported if PSUs in the basestation are not configured in N+1 mode. The reported alarm alerts the customer to the

    insufficiency of PSUs.

    Power supply redundancy for a base station does not have a feature ID and is supported by

    GSM, UMTS, and LTE base stations. For details about the principles and engineering

    guidelines for this feature, see sections "Reporting of ALM-25636 Loss of Power Supply

    Redundancy" and "Deployment of Reporting of ALM-25636 Loss of Power Supply

    Redundancy" inPower Supply Management Feature Parameter Description.

    4.5.2 Power Supply Redundancy for a BBU

    The BBU supports 1+1 backup mode for power boards.Currently, only the UPEUc and UPEUd boards can work in 1+1 backup mode. When the

    configured power consumption of the whole BBU exceeds the power supply capability of a

    single UPEUc board, the UPEUc boards cannot work in 1+1 backup mode.

    In the normal working state, the two power boards share the power load. When a power board

    becomes faulty, the power load on the faulty board automatically switches to the other board,

    avoiding service interruption.

    To work in 1+1 backup mode, power boards in the BBU must meet the following

    requirements:

    l Each power board can undertake the power load of the whole BBU.

    l The two power boards are of the same type and have the same specifications.

    Power Supply Redundancy for a BBU is a basic function and does not require any software

    configurations.

    4.6 Power Supply Reliability

    Power supply reliability consists of power supply reliability for a base station and power

    supply reliability for a BBU.

    4.6.1 Power Supply Reliability for a Base Station

    Protection Against Overvoltage and Overcurrent

    The base station supports a wide range of input voltage and provides protection against

    overcurrent.

    l The base station supports a wide range of input voltage. For details about the supported

    voltage range, see section "Engineering Specifications of Cabinets" in the chapter

    "Product Specifications" of 3900 Series Base Station Technical Description.

    l In AC input scenarios, the PSUs provide protection against overcurrent and overvoltage

    for its DC outputs. Once overcurrent or overvoltage occurs, the PSUs stop providing DCoutputs.

    For details about the principles and engineering guidelines for the functions of intelligent

    battery management, automatic battery and load disconnection, and intelligent diesel

    generator management, seePower Supply Management Feature Parameter Description.

    The function of intelligent shutdown of carriers due to PSU failure is described as follows:

    In scenarios where a base station uses the AC power input, the PSU converts the AC power to

    DC power and then supplies the DC power to boards in the base station. Generally, multiple

    PSUs are required to provide sufficient electricity for a base station and these PSUs work in

    parallel. If one or several PSUs are faulty, the load of the PSUs that work properly increases.

    As a result, all PSUs may stop working due to overcurrent protection and all the services

    carried on the base station may be interrupted. To prevent this from happening, intelligent

    shutdown of carriers due to PSU failure is introduced. With this function, when one or several

    PSUs are faulty, the base station shuts down the power amplifiers of the carriers that consume

    excessive electricity, based on the power supply capability of the PSUs that work properly. In

    this manner, other carriers continue to work properly, minimizing the impact of service

    4.6.2 Power Supply Reliability for a BBU

    Power supply reliability for a BBU includes good environment adaptability, improved fault

    handling mechanism, and sound power consumption management for BBU boards.

    l Good environment adaptability

    Wide range of input voltage: The BBU supports -48 V DC power input and an

    actual input voltage range of -57 V DC to -38.4 V DC.

    Wide range of operating temperatures: The BBU supports an operating temperature

    range of -20C to 60C. Satisfied indoor protection: The BBU does not require an additional surge

    protection unit.

    l Improved fault handling mechanism

    Protection against reverse connection: When the input positive and negative poles

    are reversely connected, the power board is not powered on, preventing the power

    board from being damaged.

    Protection against undervoltage: When the input voltage is lower than the lower

    threshold of the operating voltage range, the power board stops working, preventing

    the power board from being damaged. When the input voltage becomes normal, the

    power board restarts.

    Protection against output overload: When the power supply requirements of the

    BBU exceed the power supply capability of power boards, the power board enters

    hiccup protection mode, preventing the power board, power-consuming devices,

    and system from being damaged. In this case, the BBU will be reset.

    Protection against output short-circuits: If an output short-circuit occurs, the power

    board enters hiccup protection mode, preventing the power board, power-

    consuming devices, and system from being damaged. In this case, the BBU will be

    reset.

    Protection against output overvoltage: If the output overvoltage occurs, the power

    board enters hiccup protection mode, preventing the power board, power-

    consuming devices, and system from being damaged. In this case, the BBU will bereset.

    Protection against overtemperature: The power board stops working when its

    temperature is too high and restarts when its temperature returns to the normal

    operating temperature range. In this case, the BBU will be reset.

    NOTE

    Hiccup protection mode: When a power board experiences a fault that may damage itself, the

    power board stops the power supply and at the same time continues detecting whether the fault is

    rectified. Once the fault is rectified, the power board resumes the power supply.

    l Sound power consumption management for BBU boards

    When the power supply capability of power boards in the BBU is insufficient

    because of a board expansion or power board failure, the baseband boards with a

    low power-on priority are powered off, preventing power overload in the BBU.

    After a BBU is reset due to insufficient power supply, the BBU attempts to power

    on the baseband boards after it is powered on again. If the BBU is reset for a second

    time due to insufficient power supply after powering on baseband boards, some

    baseband boards will not be powered on after the BBU is powered on for the third

    time. This ensures the power supply to other boards in the BBU.

    Power supply reliability for a BBU is a basic function and does not require any software

    configurations.

    4.7 Anti-Misinsertion Design of Boards

    When a board of one type is inserted into a slot for a board of another type, the board cannot

    connect to the backplane. This prevents the board from being damaged.

    4.8 Overtemperature Protection for BBU BoardsWhen the temperature of a BBU board exceeds its maximum operating temperature, the

    lifespan of the board may be shortened or its reliability may be affected. In the worst-case

    scenario, the board may be burnt out, imposing safety risks. To prevent this from happening,

    Huawei provides the Power-Off on Overtemperature function.

    4.8.1 Overtemperature Power-Off for Non-Main-Control Boards

    Power-Off Requirements

    l The main control board powers off a non-main-control board and reports ALM-26214Board Powered Off when any of the following conditions is met: a common

    overtemperature alarm exists on the non-main-control board for more than 24 hours, a

    severe overtemperature alarm exists on the non-main-control board for more than one

    hour, or the temperature of the non-main-control board is higher than the

    overtemperature power-off threshold.

    NOTE

    When a common overtemperature alarm exists on the main control board for more than 2 minutes, the

    main control board powers off the WBBPa or WBBPb and reports ALM-26214 Board Powered Off.

    l A non-main-control board can power off itself and reports ALM-26214 Board Powered

    Off when it detects that its temperature is higher than the overtemperature power-offthreshold.

    Power-On Requirements

    The overtemperature alarm reported on a non-main-control board can be manually or

    automatically cleared only if the main control board is not powered off due to

    overtemperature.

    l Automatic mode: When the main control board detects that the temperature of a non-

    main-control board meets the alarm clearing threshold, the overtemperature alarm is

    automatically cleared. If the non-main-control board has been powered-off in this case,

    the main control board powers on the non-main-control board. The requirements for

    automatically clearing the overtemperature alarm or powering on a non-main-control

    board are as follows:

    The fans are working properly and ALM-26110 BBU Fan Stalled is not reported.

    The temperature of the non-main-control board is 5C lower than the threshold for a

    common overtemperature alarm.

    No severe overtemperature alarm exists on the main control board. More than 10 minutes have elapsed since the non-main-control board has been

    powered off.

    l Manual mode: Users can deliver an MML command to forcibly power on a non-main-

    control board. In this case, reported alarms will not be cleared unless the alarm clearing

    threshold for automatic alarm clearing is met. If the temperature of the non-main-control

    board is higher than the overtemperature power-off threshold after it is forcibly powered

    on, the main control board will power off the non-main-control board again. Otherwise,

    the non-main-control board will stay in powered-on status.

    Impact of Overtemperature Power-Off of Non-Main-Control Boards on

    Multimode Base Stations

    In a multimode base station, a main control board detects the temperature of boards working

    in the same mode as itself and does not manage boards working in other modes or boards that

    are not configured.

    When a non-main-control board is powered off due to overtemperature, services of the peer

    mode may be affected or even interrupted in scenarios such as co-transmission or CPRI

    MUX. The impact of overtemperature power-off on services of the peer mode is the same as

    that caused by other faults on the board.

    4.8.2 Overtemperature Power-Off for Main Control Boards

    Power-Off Requirements

    When the temperature of a main control board is higher than the common overtemperature

    alarm threshold, a common overtemperature alarm is reported. If the temperature continues to

    rise and becomes higher than the severe overtemperature alarm threshold, a severe

    overtemperature alarm is reported. In this case, all baseband boards in the same BBU subrack

    as the main control board are powered off. If the temperature of the main control board is

    higher than the severe overtemperature alarm threshold for more than one hour, the main

    control board reports ALM-26214 Board Powered Off and powers off all other boards in the

    BBU subrack and then itself.

    Power-On Requirements

    If a main control board is powered off due to overtemperature, users must troubleshoot the

    fault onsite and then power on the main control board.

    Impact of Overtemperature Power-Off of Main Control Boards on MultimodeBase Stations

    l In a multimode base station, the impact of overtemperature power-off of a main control

    board on services is the same as that caused by a reset or fault of the main control board.

    In a separate-MPT multimode base station, each main control board only manages itself and

    boards working in the same mode as the main control board. In a co-MPT multimode base

    station, the active main control board manages all the boards in the BBU subrack. In this case,

    the active main control board powers off all the boards at the same time when necessary,

    without considering the RAT priority.

    In a co-MPT multimode base station where two UMPT boards work in cold backup mode, the

    standby UMPT board can work as a signaling extension board for LTE but not for GSM or

    UMTS. When the active UMPT board becomes faulty and the active and standby UMPT

    boards switch roles, only the new active UMPT board provides signaling processing

    capability. This has no impact on the system capacity of GSM or UMTS.

    7Engineering Guidelines for RRU ChannelCross Connection Under MIMO

    7.1 When to Use RRU Channel Cross Connection UnderMIMO

    RRU Channel Cross Connection Under MIMO can be enabled when RRUs are installed on

    top of a tower. Cross-connections between a baseband board and RRUs enable the data on

    two TX/RX channels of a cell to be transmitted using two fiber optic cables and to be

    processed by two RRUs. When a fiber optic cable fails or an RRU has a hardware fault, the

    antenna mode changes from 2T2R to 1T1R to keep the cell working normally. This prevents

    long-time service interruption and increases system reliability.

    7.4.3 Precautions

    The precautions for deploying RRU Channel Cross Connection Under MIMO are as follows:

    l All RF units must be of the same model and support the same set of frequency bands.

    l The number of RF units is equal to or greater than two.

    l The antenna mode must be 2T2R for sectors enabled with RRU Channel Cross

    Connection Under MIMO. Each sector must be configured on a unique RF unit, and the

    RF units must be correctly connected to antennas.

    l The RF units must form a star topology and connect to the same baseband board.

    l For LBBPc boards, optical fibers that connect the LBBPc boards and RF units must have

    approximately the same length. Any difference in lengths must be less than 100 m. There

    is no such restriction for LBBPd boards.

    l If faults on the fiber optic cable or RRU are rectified when the cell has rolled back to

    1T1R and is in active mode, the system triggers cell reestablishment to change the cell

    configuration from 1T1R to 2T2R only when no RRC-connected user exists in the cell.

    In multimode scenarios, RRU Channel Cross Connection Under MIMO is supported in LTE

    mode. For other modes, support for this feature depends on the capability of the mode.

    7.4.4 Hardware Adjustment

    Connect RRUs or RFUs to antennas according to Figure 3-1.

    7.4.5 Activation

    Using MML CommandsAdd and remove configurations in the following orders:

    l Remove cells and sectors successively.

    l Configure sectors, operators, tracking areas, cells, cell sector equipment, cell operators,

    and cells successively.

    Perform the following operations to activate RRU Channel Cross Connection Under MIMO:

    Step 1 Run the ADD SECTOR command to add a sector.

    NOTE

    Two antennas are configured, and antenna channels R0A and R0B are configured on different RRUports. Cable connections must be consistent with the configurations.

    Step 2 Run the ADD CNOPERATOR command to add an operator.

    Step 3 Run the ADD CNOPERATORTAcommand to add a tracking area.

    Step 4 Run the ADD CELLcommand to add a cell.

    Step 5 Run the ADD EUCELLSECTOREQMcommand to add cell sector equipment.

    Step 6 Run the ADD CELLOP command to add a cell operator.

    Step 7 Run the ACT CELLcommand to activate the cell.
