1 Purpose
The BTS3900/BTS3900A cabinet is 900 mm or 700 mm in height. The indoor cabinet can be
stacked with the outdoor cabinet, thus lowering the requirements for the area and height of the
equipment room. The cabinet can be flexibly installed indoors or outdoors. Thus, no crane is
needed, reducing the cost of maintenance and installation, especially reducing the cost in the
areas where the cost of maintenance and installation is high. Because the
BTS3900/BTS3900A has advantages in installation and maintenance, it is recommended in
the medium/small-capacity network swapping market.
3. Comprehensive functions
The BTS3900/BTS3900A integrates all the software functions of the Huawei double-
transceiver BTS series. It shares the BBU, which is the central processing unit, with the
DBS3900. It supports Abis over IP in hardware and enables IP transmission through software
upgrade if required. In the dual-band network market, the BTS3900 supports the S444+S444
configuration on one footprint, thus saving the area of equipment room.
2.1 Appearance
Figure 1-1 shows the BTS3900A cabinet.
FAN unit: The fan unit consists of four fans and one fan monitoring board. The fan
monitoring board monitors the temperature at the air inlet of the cabinet, and then reports the
temperature to the BBU or automatically adjusts the fan speed according to the temperature.
The 1 U air inlet performs the heat dissipation function.
DCDU: The DCDU supplies power to the RFU, BBU, and fan box. It provides a 2-hole OT
terminal and ten outputs.
The transport subsystem provides ports to exchange information between the BBU and the
BSC. The transport subsystem also provides a channel for connecting to the LMT for the OM
of the BBU.
The controlling subsystem performs centralized management (OM and signaling processing)
of the entire base station system. It also provides the reference clock for the system. The BBU
provides six CPRI electrical ports. Through the CPRI electrical ports, the BBU receives the
uplink data sent by the DRFU and sends the downlink data to the DRFU.
Figure 1-4 shows the components of the BBU. The typical components of the BBU are the
BBU, GTMU, and UPEA.
For details on the components of the BBU, refer to the BBU3900 User Guide.
The Universal E1/T1 Lighting Protection Unit (UELP) and the Universal Environment
Interface Unit (UEIU) are optional.
GTMU: The BBU is the main control and interface board of the GSM network. It performs
the BTS transmission management, clock management, and control management, and
provides six SFP ports for connecting the RRU. The Abis interface supports four E1 signals
and two FE signals (one optical and one electrical). The GTMU has two rows of ports, as
shown in Figure 1-4. From left to right, the ports in the upper row are CPRI0, CPRI1, CPRI2,
CPRI3, CPRI4, and CPRI5, The ports in the lower row are the ETH_232 Ethernet port, FE0
Ethernet port, FE1, USB port, TEST port, E1/T1/J1 socket, RST button. Among them, the
FE1 is an optical port. The BBU of the BTS3900 differs slightly from that of the DBS3900.
The GTMU of the BTS3900 occupies slots 5 and 6 so that the main control board of the
WCDMA can be inserted into slot 7 (From top to bottom and from left to right, the slots are
numbered from 0 to 7).
UPEA: The UPEA can support –48 V or +24 V power supply, depending on the power
module installed. The UPEA detects eight Boolean inputs and provides two RS485
monitoring bus ports. From left to right, the ports are dry contact alarm input port for routes
from zero to three, dry contact alarm input port for routes from four to seven, RS485
monitoring bus port 0, and RS485 monitoring bus port 1.
UEIU: The UEIU detects eight Boolean inputs and provides two RS485 monitoring bus ports.
The UEIU has four ports. From left to right, they are dry contact alarm input port for routes
from zero to three, dry contact alarm input port for routes from four to seven, RS485
monitoring bus port 0, and RS485 monitoring bus port 1.
UELP: The UELP is E1 surge protector and supports four E1 signals. Maintenance can be
performed in front of the UELP. The E1/T1 signals processed by the UELP are sent from the
E1/T1 OUT to the E1/T1/J1 socket of the GTMU. From left to right, the ports on the UELP
are E1/T1 IN and E1/T1 OUT, as shown in Figure 1-4
Feedback channel
High-speed interface unit: It converts the downlink data received from the BBU and sends
the converted data to the signal processing unit. It also converts the uplink data received from
the signaling processing unit and sends the converted data to the BBU.
Signal processing unit: The signal processing unit consists of two uplink RX channels and
two downlink TX channels. Each channel supports two carriers.
The functions of the uplink RX channels are as follows:
Down-converting the RX signals to IF signals
Amplifying the IF signals and performing IQ demodulation
Performing analog-to-digital conversion through the ADC
Sampling digital signals
Performing matched filtering
Digital automatic gain controlling
Encapsulating data
The functions of the downlink TX channels are as follows:
Splitting the encapsulated clock signals, control signals, and data signals from the BBU
and sending them to associated units
Shaping and filtering downlink signals
Performing digital-to-analog conversion through the DAC and performing IQ
modulation
Performing up-conversion of RF signals to the transmit band
Power amplifier: The PA amplifies low power RF signals from the signal processing unit.
Duplexer: The duplexer multiplexes RX signals and TX signals so that they can share the
same antenna channel. It also filters the RX/TX signals.
The temperature and humidity should be measured 2 m above the floor and 0.4 m in front of
the equipment when the cabinet is not installed with the front and rear panels.
3.1.3 Weight
Table 1-3 lists the weight of the BTS3900 cabinet.
Both the BTS3900 cabinet (+24 V) and the BTS3900 cabinet (220 V) are installed with a power
conversion unit. Therefore, an external power cabinet is not required for them.

departments in Huawei. Technical communion meetings can be held at this time. After arriving at a project site,
first, design engineers should contact the engineering, maintenance, or network construction owners and the
technical personnel of customer party. And explain in detail the whole project implementation to relative
personnel of customer party. Let the customer be clear about the preparation jobs and the matching facilities
which must be prepared. In addition, decide the schedule.
5.1 Cover
Complete the cover as instructed.
Currently many contracts are numbered using 14 digits. The 18-digit contract number is not yet in
formal use. The 14-digit contract number is still being used on many occasions, say, in the IT system. As
a result, Huawei has not yet enforced the use of 18-digit contract numbers, so the 14-digit contract
numbers are still in use.
The BTS3900 communicates with the MS through the Um interface and the BSC through the
Abis interface. The Abis interface supports 75- and 120-ohm E1 cables. There is a space of 3
U reserved in the BTS3900 for the optical transmission equipment.
The management interface adopts Ethernet. Mark the specified maintenance and operation
terminals, as well as their upper-level network manager.
It is recommended that you indicate equipment using a rectangle or square, and indicate the
computer network or other system services using ellipses (with descriptions inside).

You need not calculate the cross-sectional area of a power distribution cable. Just calculate the
length of the power distribution cable of each BTS3900 cabinet according to the relative
positions of the cabling route and the power cabinet (or power distribution box).
The protection grounding (PGND) cable of a BTS3900 cabinet serves to connect the
grounding point if the cabinet with an external grounding bar, so as to secure running of the
BTS3900. The PGND cable of a BTS3900 cabinet is a green and yellow single-wire cable,
with an OT terminal at both ends and a core cross-sectional area of 16 mm 2. Measure the
distance between the protection grounding bolt of a BTS3900 cabinet and the corresponding
wiring terminal on the external grounding bar according to the actual cabling route of the
PGND cable. Based on the measurement, you can cut a PGND cable in a proper length.
