The present BTS3812E is based on 3GPP R4/R5 protocol releases. It supports smooth evolution to later 3GPP protocol release, for example, multimedia broadcast and multicast service (MBMS) and high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA).
To support MBMS, you only need to upgrade the software loaded to BTS3812E. To support HSUPA, you only need to add a HSUPA-supportive UL processing
board or replace the existing board with such a board, and then upgrade the software loaded to BTS3812E.
See the following description of MBMS and HSUPA.
MBMS: It is a point-to-multipoint technology introduced to WCDMA R6 release. This technology can save resources over the air interface by broadcasting multimedia services to the UEs of a cell over common channels or by sending multicast services subscribed by UEs of a cell.
HSUPA: It is a technology introduced to WCDMA R6 release, serving as a means to enhance UL packet service processing capability. Specific techniques related to HSUPA include 2ms frame, HARQ, and NodeB scheduling. HSUPA can enhance

Chapter 6 Reliability
6.1 System Reliability
BTS3812E is designed after overall analysis on system reliability. BTS3812E adopts the following methods to enhance system maintainability:
Active/standby mode load-sharing Redundant configuration Optimized fault detection of boards and system Optimized fault separation
I. Redundancy
Baseband boards (HULP and HDLP) adopt the resource pool architecture and work in N+1 backup mode. Failure in part of the boards does not affect normal operation of the NodeB. In addition, baseband processing capability is not affected when redundant boards are configured.
The Iub interface boards can work in load-sharing mode. When a service link is broken and the transmission capability deteriorates, the overloaded or faulty board can transfer partial or all load to other available boards or links.
II. Active/Standby Mode
NBBI supports active and standby modes.
III. System Maintainability
BTS3812E can automatically detect and diagnose faults in hardware or software, and report them as alarms. It can record and report fault information. It can also detect environmental status and report the abnormality in time.
6.2 Hardware Reliability
I. Prevention against Mistakenly Inserted Boards
When a functional board is inserted into a wrong slot, it cannot get into full contact with the backplane. This prevents the equipment from damage.
Technical Manual – System Description BTS3812E WCDMA NodeB Chapter 6 Reliability
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
6-2
II. Speed Control and Redundancy Design of Fan Box
With system dissipation guaranteed, fan speed can be controlled to reduce equipment noise and fan abrasion. In this way, both the service life and reliability of the heat dissipation system can be greatly enhanced.
The redundancy design of the fan box ensures normal operation of the system even if one of the fans gets faulty. Therefore, the system anti-fault capability and the system reliability are enhanced.
III. Protection against Overtemperature and Over-Excitation of MTRU
When the temperature exceeds the specified limit, the system automatically lowers the rated output power of MTRU or shuts down the MTRU and reports related alarms. In this way, MTRU is under protection. Its service life and reliability cannot be affected.
MTRU also provides:
Over-excitation protection Over reflected power protection
IV. Reliability Design for Power Supply
The –48V input power supply is kept under detection. When the power voltage is too low or too high, BTS3812E reports an alarm.
The power supply has the lightning protection function and the protection function against voltage dips and sags.
BTS3812E provides the power failure protection for programs and data. The boards provide over-voltage, overcurrent and reverse-polarity-connection
protection.
6.3 Software Reliability
Software reliability is reflected in the powerful capability of error tolerance. The whole system will not corrupt when the software fails. That is, the system has self-healing capability. Error tolerance of BTS3812E is shown in the following aspects:
I. Regular Check on Key Resources
Seizure check is conducted on various software resources in the system. If resource hang-up occurs due to software abnormality, it lasts only a short time because the check mechanism can ensure the release of hung-up resources and the output of related logs and alarms.
Technical Manual – System Description BTS3812E WCDMA NodeB Chapter 6 Reliability
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
6-3
II. Task Monitoring
When the software is active, the task monitoring function can monitor any possible fault in software or hardware. In addition, the detected fault can be reported. Task status and system abnormalities can be monitored.
III. Storage Protection
The software system adopts the segment/page protection mechanism of CPU memory management unit (MMU), implementing storage protection of codes and important data segments.
IV. Data Check
The system is able to perform regular or event-driven check on data consistency, restore the data consistency selectively or preferably and output related logs and alarms.
V. Saving Operation Log Information
The system records user operations within a certain period and saves the recorded information to the system operation log. The operation log can be used to locate the error or exception due to incorrect operation so that the system can be restored to normal state.
