BS8900, with uTCA platform and SDR technology, cansmoothly evolve to Enhanced EDGE. Hardware can evolve toLTE and share the hardware platform with LTE in future.

� Capacity and configuration

The system supports three RSU types: RSU82, RSU60, andRSU40 U216. The system supports up to 60 GSM TRXs and 30UMTS CSs.

Where, RSU82 is a RSU with 2-Tx and 4-Rx.

� Networking capability

BS8900 provides E1/T1 at Abis/Iub and optical/electric GE in-terface. It supports star networking and chain networking.

BS8900 can meet the requirements of GSM/UMTS hybrid net-working in different scenarios.

� Clock and synchronization

BS8900 supports multiple clock synchronization modes:

� GPS-based clock synchronization at radio interface.

� External BITS clock synchronization input.

� Upper clock synchronized with E1/T1 at Abis/Iub.

� GSM RF technology

With flexible RF unit configuration and advanced SDR tech-nologies, BS8900 provides multiple RF technology solutions tomeet capacity and coverage requirements.

� Downlink transmitting diversity

The downlink transmitting diversity means that one carriersignal is transmitted through two antennas in a sector toform the space transmit diversity. It enhances the anti-fad-ing capability of downlink signal and increases the coveragearea.

� Interference Rejection Combining (IRC)

The IRC technology increases the receiver's uplink sensi-tivity and expands the BTS's uplink coverage area. WhenIRC is used, it is recommended that the BTS is equippedwith at least two receiving antennas.

� Four Way Diversity Receiving (FWDR)

FWDR uses four antennas to receive uplink signals. BS8900can provide four diversity receptions for one carrier to getthe best gain. It enhances BTS's uplink receiving perfor-mance as well as reduces MS's transmitting power. Ul-tra-long distance coverage can be implemented by using

ZXSDR BS8900 GU360 System Description

FIGURE 14 SERVICE DATA FLOW

� Downlink: The service data from BSC/RNC enters BBU via CCor SA. IP protocol termination and NAT conversion at Abis/Iubare done on CC board. The data is then converted into internalIP datagram and transmitted to baseband board (uBPG/BPC)through Gigabit Ethernet (GE). The baseband board performsmodulation, multiplexing, and rate adaptation for the internalIP datagram and transmits it to the IQ switching unit of FS.Then, on the IQ switching unit of FS, de-multiplexing, inter-leaving, frame forming, and parallel- serial conversion are im-plemented. Finally, the internal IP datagram is distributed toRU via BBU-RU interface (optical port).

Note:

If Abis/Iub uses the E1/TI interface, you shall transfer and pro-tect the signal via SA board. If Abis/Iub uses GE interface, di-rectly connect it to CC.

� Uplink: The IQ switching unit of FS receives baseband signalsfrom RU, performs de-multiplexing, and then transmits them tobaseband board through high-speed serial signals. The base-band board then performs demodulation to get the original se-rial signals. These signals are packed into Ethernet frames,passed to the switching center via GE, and processed as trans-mission protocols at Abis/Iub on the CC board. Finally, theyare transmitted to BSC/RNC via E1/T1/GE.

System Control Signal Flow

The CC board implements the master control function. The controlsignal is distributed to all other boards from the CC board. Figure15 shows the control signal flow.

System Clock Signal Flow

The system clock is distributed to all other boards from the CCboard and is distributed to RU via the optical port. Figure 16 showsthe clock distribution.

FIGURE 16 CLOCK DISTRIBUTION

In Figure 16, the clock reference of CC board comes from GPS net-work. The clock reference of CC board can be: GPS output clockreference, upper-level clock synchronized with Abis/Iub E1/T1, orBITS reference clock input from CC front panel. You can select dif-ferent clock reference sources based on the specific applications.

Introduction to MaintenanceFunctionsThe user interface (UI) of remote maintenance system uses thetopology structure. On the user interface, user can view the in-formation of various NEs in whole network. The user can selectthe NE to be maintained and check its performance data, alarminformation, and configuration data. The user also can performmaintenance for some NEs on the topology. It mainly providesthe Telecom network management functions:

� Configuration management

User can add, query, delete, modify, and check data consis-tency for physical and radio resource data. It supports staticand dynamic data configuration.

� Security management

It ensures that only authorized user can perform the propercommand set actions.

� Performance management

It provides performance analysis, call tracing, and signalingtracing.

� Version management

The user can view hardware/software version running at fore-ground by NetNumen M31. User can download the software atbackground to upgrade the software at foreground.

� Fault management

It includes alarm management and diagnosis test. It can cen-trally monitor the operation state about the base station andcollect the information of exceptional boards and links in realtime. So, the operation and maintenance staff can easily doanalysis, maintenance, and correction.

Networking DescriptionStar Networking

ApplicationScenario

Star networking is suitable for common application scenarios.Generally, it is used in urban areas with dense population.

Networking Mode In star networking, each site has n transmission links that directlyconnect BSC/RNC with BTS. The BTS equipment on each site isterminal equipment. Figure 18 shows the star networking mode.

FIGURE 18 STAR NETWORKING

Benefit andWeakness

The networking mode is simple, easy maintenance and engineer-ing, less loops passed by the signal, and the more reliable. How-

ZXSDR BS8900 GU360 System Description

ever, the star networking requires more transmission cables thanother modes.

Chain Networking

ApplicationScenario

The chain networking is usually applied in strip-shaped areas withsparse population, such as areas along the highway and railway.

Networking Mode To avoid clock performance degradation, it is recommended not tocascade more than 4 BTSs in the chain networking mode. Figure19 shows the chain networking of BS8900.

FIGURE 19 CHAIN NETWORKING

Benefit andWeakness

With chain networking, a number of transmission devices can besaved. However, because signal passes through many intermedi-ate links, the link reliability is comparatively low.

Ring Networking

ApplicationScenario

Ring networking can be applied in common application scenarios.In normal case, because the ring networking has good self-healingcapability, it is usually recommended to use the ring networkingmode if route permits.

Networking Mode In case of some parts of the ring being broken, the ring changes totwo rings. Figure 20 shows the ring networking mode of BS8900.

FIGURE 20 RING NETWORKING

Benefit andWeakness

Ring networking is more reliable than chain networking. The for-mer has a stronger self-healing capability. If a link in the ring isbroken, the ring network can restore to chain network automati-cally. Also, the service is not affected.

Reliability

Table of ContentsHardware Reliability ...........................................................35Software Reliability ............................................................35

Hardware ReliabilityThe hardware reliability is achieved through the following aspects.

1. Hard Reset the Board

When the board cannot be reset by software, you can reset theboard by CC. CC can control BPC, FS and SA. Other boards arenot controlled.

2. Online board detection function

CC can learn if the board is proper by checking the communi-cation with different boards. For more reliable detection, CCcan also do the online detection for different boards throughbackplane or wiring at baseband layer.

3. Anti-reverse board function

When board is inserted reversely, the reversed board can notproperly contact the backplane and may damage the equip-ment.

4. It provides the functions of overvoltage, overcurrent, and re-verse power polarity prevention.

5. Backup policy

� CC (master control, clock, switching network) supports 1+1hot active/standby mode.

� BBU uses the conception of resource pool. Baseband boardsupports load sharing.

� The FS board supports load sharing.

Software ReliabilityThe following functions are provided to guarantee software relia-bility.
