The RCU is the control unit of an RET antenna. The RCU can change signal coverage by adjusting the RET antenna downtilt. RET subunits are antenna devices that can be independently controlled. The two types of RET antennas are defined by the number of RET subunits they contain: single-antenna and multi-antenna. A single-antenna RET antenna (SINGLE_RET) has only one RET subunit. A multi-antenna RET antenna (MULTI_RET) has multiple RET subunits, each of which supports the configuration file download and downtilt setting. A multi-antenna RET antenna can be regarded as a set of single-antenna RET antennas installed in a radome. The RET antenna has the following benefits:

Remote adjustment eliminates on-site operations. Antenna maintenance is not affected by weather, location, or other site restrictions. High adjustment efficiency reduces network optimization and maintenance costs. Adjustable downtilt prevents coverage distortion, which improves signal coverage and decreases neighboring cell interference. Compared to antennas with mechanical downtilts, RET antennas have the disadvantages of higher cost and higher complexity.
2.3 TMA
A TMA is a low noise amplifier (LNA) installed next to the antenna. It improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), sensitivity, and uplink coverage of the base station. A TMA is one of two types: common TMA or smart TMA. The common TMA does not support the Antenna Interface Standards Group (AISG) protocol, while the smart TMA does. Communication between the smart TMA and the base station complies with the AISG protocol. With a built-in SBT, the smart TMA can convert RS485 control signals from the RCU to OOK signals, and OOK signals from the RRU/RFU to RS485 signals. In addition, the smart TMA can feed DC power from the remote radio unit (RRU)/radio frequency unit (RFU) to the RCU. The RCU and RRU/RFU are connected by a feeder. Unless otherwise stated in this document, "TMA" refers to smart TMA.
When an RRU/RFU connects to a TMA, at least one RF port supporting RET antennas must connect to this TMA to provide control signals for this TMA. For details about capabilities of RF modules to support RET antennas, see Table 2-2 and Table 2-3.
The TMA provides the following functions: Amplifies uplink signals to compensate for attenuation from an antenna to an RRU/RFU. Balances signal amplification between the uplink and the downlink. A TMA has one or two subunits and supports amplification of one or two uplink RF signals.
2.4 SASU
An SASU is a Huawei customized device for antenna sharing between intra-band GSM and UMTS systems at a multi-mode site. Antenna sharing helps operators reduce the capital expenditure (CAPEX). Currently, the SASU supports only the 900 MHz and 2100 MHz frequency bands. The SASU has two subunits to amplify uplink signals of GSM and UMTS systems.

Regular Scenario
In a regular scenario, an RRU can be connected to one RET antenna through the RET port (RETPORT) or RF port (ANTENNAPORT) compared with a daisy chain scenario. The RFU does not have an RETPORT and therefore can be connected to one RET antenna only through the ANTENNAPORT. Connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT An AISG multi-wire cable connects the RETPORT on the RRU to the RCU of the RET antenna, as shown in Figure 3-1. With the integrated BT, the RRU can send RS485 control signals and feed 12 V DC power to the RCU through the RETPORT. Therefore, no SBT is required. This connection mode is recommended when the distance between the RRU and the RET antenna is shorter than 20 m. For the data configuration for this connection mode, see scenario 1 in section 7.4 "Deploying ALD Management." Figure 3-1 Connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT
Connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT An SBT is required in this connection mode. Feeders and jumpers connect the RRU/RFU, SBT, and RET antenna, and an AISG multi-wire cable connects the SBT to the RCU of the RET antenna, as shown in Figure 3-2. The RRU/RFU combines OOK signals, 12 V DC power, and RF signals, and sends the combined signals to the SBT through feeders. The SBT splits the combined signals into two links. RF signals are sent to the RET antenna on one link. On the other link, OOK signals are converted to RS485 control signals and 12 V DC power is forwarded to the RCU through an AISG multi-wire cable. For the data configuration for this connection mode, see scenario 2 in section 7.4 "Deploying ALD Management." Figure 3-2 Connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT
Connection modes shown in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2 also apply to an MBTS with multi-mode RRUs/RFUs. For details about data configuration, see chapter 6 "Engineering Guidelines." Connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT (with an external BT) This connection mode applies to RRUs without a BT that are installed 20 m or farther away from RET antennas, such as the RRU3004 for GSM, RRU3801C (20 W) for

UMTS, and RRU3220 for LTE. Without a BT, RF ports cannot provide 12 V DC power for RET antennas. In this case, connect the RETPORT on an RRU to an external BT and connect an external SBT to an RET antenna for power supply to the antenna, as shown in Figure 3-3. For the data configuration for this connection mode, see scenario 1 in section 7.4 "Deploying ALD Management." Figure 3-3 Connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT (with an external BT)

Connection modes shown in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5 also apply to an MBTS with independent antennas. The configured RRUs/RFUs serve different systems. The RET antenna data of an MBTS with single-mode RRUs/RFUs can be configured in only one RAT system. For details about data configuration, see chapter 6 "Engineering Guidelines." In Figure 3-4, if RRU(1) serves the GSM or LTE system (the RET data is configured in the GSM or LTE system), the SCENARIO parameters must be set to DAISY_CHAIN for RET antennas connected to RRU(1) and RRU(2). If RRU(1) serves the UMTS system (the RET data is configured in the UMTS system), the SCENARIO parameters must be set to DAISY_CHAIN and 2G_EXTENSION for the RET antennas connected to RRU(1) and RRU(2), respectively. Some RF modules, such as the RRU3942 and RRU3841, have four RF ports. These RF modules have two or more RF ports to support RET functions in addition to the RETPORT. For details, see Table 2-3. Two RF ports on these RF modules can be paired and connected to one antenna to provide various transmit or receive functions. When the RRU3942 or RRU3841 is used, you can refer to RRU3942 Hardware Description or RRU3841 Hardware Description. The following description assumes that the RRU3942 uses the 2T4R configuration. "T" and "R" refer to transmission and reception, respectively. RF ports ANT_A and ANT_C on the RRU3942 are paired and connected to one antenna, and RF ports ANT_B and ANT_D are paired and connected to the other antenna. When the RRU3942 is installed less than 20 m away from RET antennas, the RRU3942 is connected to the RET antennas through the RETPORT. The RET antennas are cascaded because the RRU3942 has only one RETPORT, as shown in Figure 3-6. Figure 3-6 Connection to the RET antenna through the RETPORT
Figure 3-7 shows how the RRU3942 and RET antennas are connected to provide the 2T4R function when the RRU3942 is installed more than 20 m away from the RET antennas and the RET antennas are centrally installed. Figure 3-7 Connection to the RET antenna through the ANTENNAPORT

In this connection mode, RF port ANT_A is the control port for the two RET antennas connected to the RRU3942. For the data configuration for this connection mode, see scenario 2 in section 7.4 "Deploying ALD Management."
In this scenario, the SCENARIO parameter for all RET antennas must be set to SECTOR_SPLITTING, and the RET antennas are identified by serial numbers. For the data configuration for this connection mode, see scenario 2 in section 7.4 "Deploying ALD Management."
UMTS/LTE:
Ensure that correct configuration files have been loaded to the RET antennas before antenna calibration. If an incorrect configuration file is loaded, the RET antenna will experience unexpected errors, and the loaded configuration file cannot be queried. You can obtain the configuration file information only from the related operation log. You are advised to load the configuration file to the RET antennas of one or two base stations, and check whether the actual downtilts are the same as the configured downtilts. If the downtilts are the same, the configuration file is correct.

Before you run the LOD BTSRETCFGDATA command to load a configuration file to RET antennas of a BTS, run the DLD BTSALDFILE command to download the configuration file from the file server to the base station controller (BSC) operation and maintenance unit (OMU). Run the following command to query dynamic information about RET additional data: GSM: DSP BTSRETDEVICEDATA UMTS/LTE: DSP RETDEVICEDATA If any information is incorrect in the command output, for example, the values of Max tilt and Min tilt are NULL, no configuration file was loaded or the configuration file is lost.
Antenna calibration After an RET antenna is installed, run the following command to calibrate the RET antenna:
GSM:
UMTS/LTE:
During the calibration, the RCU adjusts the RET antenna within the downtilt range so that the RET antenna operates properly. If the RET antenna is not calibrated, the base station reports ALM-26753 RET Antenna Not Calibrated.
An RET antenna does not need to be calibrated again after it is reset or powered off.

When RF modules with four RF ports are connected to two antennas, two RF ports on these RF modules can be paired and connected to one antenna. The following description assumes that the RRU3942 uses the 2T4R configuration. RF ports ANT_A and ANT_C on the RRU3942 are paired and connected to one antenna, and RF ports ANT_B and ANT_D are paired and connected to the other antenna. Figure 3-10 shows how the RRU3942 is connected to the TMA and RET antenna. Figure 3-10 RRU3942 (2T4R) connected to the TMA and RET antenna
In this connection mode, RF ports ANT_A and ANT_B are the control ports for Antenna(1) and Antenna(2), respectively. For the data configuration for this connection mode, see scenario 3 in section 7.4 "Deploying ALD Management."

SASU data can be configured only in the UMTS system. Because the SASU is an active device, you need to turn on the power switch for the 3G RRU control port in the UMTS system, and specify current alarm thresholds. For connection mode in Figure 3-12, set the DCSWITCH parameter for the SASU to OFF. Otherwise, the RET antenna will short-circuit. For the data configuration for this connection mode, see scenario 5 in section 7.4 "Deploying ALD Management." Figure 3-13 shows how the SASU, RRUs/RFUs, TMA, and RET antenna are connected when the SASU is installed greater than 20 m away from the RET antenna. The SASU combines 2G and 3G signals and sends the combined signals to the TMA. The TMA splits the combined signals into two links. RF signals are sent to the RET antenna on one link. On the other link, OOK signals are converted to RS485 control signals and 12 V DC power is forwarded to the RCU through an AISG multi-wire cable. Figure 3-13 SASU connected to the TMA and RET antenna
SASU data can be configured only in the UMTS system. In this connection mode, the DCSWITCH parameter for the SASU cannot be set to OFF because the TMA is an active device. If the DCSWITCH parameter is set to UMTS, specify the DCLOAD parameter for SASU subunits so that the TMA connected to the SASU can be acknowledged by the base transceiver station (BTS). For the data configuration for this connection mode, see scenario 6 in section 7.4 "Deploying ALD Management."

Setting SASU working mode By default, the SASU is set to NORMAL working mode to ensure normal operation. If you run the MOD SASUSUBUNIT command with the MODE parameter set to BYPASS, the SASU serves as a straight-through feeder and does not amplify signals. Setting SASU gain 1. Run the DSP SASUDEVICEDATA command to query the value range of SASU gain. 2. Run the MOD SASUSUBUNIT command to set SASU subunit gain. The base station can perform operations on the SASU separately, including software download and SASU reset. SASU software download Run the DLD ALDSW command to download SASU software. The SASU manufacturer provides SASU software. For details, see the documents provided by the manufacturer. SASU reset Run the RST ALD command to reset the SASU. Resetting the SASU does not change the SASU gain and working mode.

6 Engineering Guidelines
6.1 When to Use ALD Management
It is recommended that ALD management be used when ALDs have been installed and the ALDs comply with the AISG protocol. The AISG protocol has two versions, AISG v1.1 and AISG v2.0. Both are supported in SRAN7.0.
RET ALD Current Alarm Threshold Type RET ALD Under Current Occur Threshold(mA) RET ALD Under Current Clear Threshold(mA) RET ALD Over Current Occur Threshold(mA) RET ALD Over Current Clear Threshold(mA) Control port (RF port as control port and ANT_A as an example) ANT_A ALD Power Switch
Current alarm threshold Undercurrent alarm occur threshold Undercurrent alarm clear threshold Overcurrent alarm occur threshold Overcurrent alarm clear threshold ALD Power Switch

Set this parameter to ON for the RAT systems. The RETPORT and ANTENNAPORT switches on one RRU cannot be turned on simultaneously. Each of these parameters must be set to the same value for the RAT systems. For recommended values, see Table 7-12.

When an RF port except ANT_A is used as a control port, common ALD parameters are named in the following ways: For GSM, common ALD parameters are named by analogy based on Table 6-2. For example, when ANT_B is used as the control port, ANT_B ALD Power Switch is the correct parameter name. For UMTS and LTE, common ALD parameters are named in the same way as those listed in Table 6-2.
Other ALD-related parameters except the RF module common parameters must be set in only one RAT system of an MBTS.
The RAT system in which the other ALD-related parameters are set must be the same in the data preparation, initial configuration, activation observation, and reconfiguration. Only one maintenance link can be established between the RRU/RFU and the ALDs. Therefore, ALD data can be configured in only one RAT system of an MBTS. If ALD data is configured in two RAT systems of an MBTS, unexpected faults will occur. For example, ALDs cannot be scanned, or ALM-26541 ALD Maintenance Link Failure is reported. If such faults occur, remove the ALD data configuration in both RAT systems, and scan and configure ALDs in the correct RAT system. If ALDs cannot be scanned after the ALD data configuration is removed, turn off power switches in both RAT systems, and set power switches and current alarm thresholds in both RAT systems again.
Set the other ALD-related parameters in one of the RAT systems served by the multi-mode RRU/RFU. For example, if the multi-mode RRU/RFU serves the GSM and UMTS systems, set the other ALD-related parameters in the GSM or UMTS system. The configuration procedure is the same as that for the related RAT system. UMTS/LTE: sections 7.4.4 "Initial Configuration on the GUI" and 7.4.5 "Initial Configuration on a Single Base Station Using MML Commands" GSM: sections 8.4.4 "Initial Configuration on the GUI" and 8.4.5 "Initial Configuration on a Single Base Station Using MML Commands" RF module common parameters, such as the ALD power switch and current alarm threshold, must be set to consistent values in all RAT systems served by the multimode RRU/RFU. From the ALD scanning step, the ALD-related parameters must be set in one of the RAT systems. The procedure is the same as that for the related RAT system.

Generic Data
Before configuring ALD data, collect the following generic data: Configuration file for the RET antenna: used to determine whether to update the configuration file. Obtain the configuration file from the RET antenna manufacturer based on the RCU and antenna models. Software of the RET antenna, TMA, and SASU: used to determine whether to update the software. If an update is required, obtain the software from the RET antenna, TMA, and SASU manufacturers. RET antenna connections: used to determine whether RET antennas are connected in a regular scenario. If the RET antennas are not connected in a regular scenario, record serial numbers of RET antennas and the mapping between the RET antennas and the base station/sectors. The serial numbers are printed on labels of the RET antennas. Connections of the RET antenna, TMA, SASU, and RRU/RFU: used to determine the specific connections between these devices, such as the type of RRU/RFU port through which control signals are sent to an RET antenna. Current alarm thresholds for the RET antenna, TMA, and SASU, which are provided in the related specifications.
It is recommended that you obtain the basic information about the RET antenna, TMA, and SASU at the site, including the antenna model, RCU model, antenna type (single-antenna or multiantenna), number of subunits, manufacturer code, and serial number. In a regular scenario, you can run the following command to obtain the antenna type, number of subunits, manufacturer code, and serial number: GSM: STR BTSALDSCAN UMTS/LTE: SCN ALD Collect the following information at the site in a regular scenario: ALD Type Antenna Model RCU Model Antenna Type (SingleAntenna/MultiAntenna) Number of Subunits Manufacturer Code Serial Number

The AISG1.1-based twin TMAs can be configured as two devices, each configured with one subunit. In this case, batch loading of the TMA software may fail on one of the devices. The AISG1.1-based twin TMAs can also be configured as one device, which is configured with two subunits. In this case, the serial number cannot be configured for the TMA. Otherwise, only one subunit is operational. are automatically scanned when an RET antenna or TMA is added. are automatically scanned after an RRU/RFU is reset.

Scenario 4: Connection to the RET Antenna Through the RETPORT (with a TMA)
For parameters that must be set to configure an RETPORT, RET antenna, RET subunit, and RET antenna downtilt in this scenario, see Table 8-1, Table 8-2, Table 8-3, and Table 8-4. For parameters that must be set to configure a TMA, TMA subunit, and RX channel attenuation in this scenario, see Table 8-6, Table 8-7, and Table 8-8.
8.4.3 Precautions
Section 7.4.3 "Precautions" describes the common precautions for GSM, UMTS, and LTE. The GSM-specific precautions are described as follows: The common TMA does not support the AISG protocol. To configure a common TMA, you only need to run the SET BTSRXUBP command to turn on the power switch, set current alarm thresholds, and configure the RX channel attenuation based on the network plan. For data preparation details for turning on the power switch and setting the current alarm thresholds, see Table 8-5. For data preparation details for configuring the RX channel attenuation, see Table 8-8. After subunits are added to an AISG1.1-based TMA, all TMA subunits start to work only after you run the STR BTSALDSCAN command.

When the current alarm threshold type is user-defined, set current alarm thresholds based on the actual ALD type. Pay attention to the following restrictions: User-defined current alarm thresholds must meet the requirements: Under Current Occur Threshold < Under Current Clear Threshold < Over Current Clear Threshold < Over Current Occur Threshold. Generally, the Under Current Occur Threshold is set to 20% to 30% of the device rated operating current, and the Under Current Clear Threshold is set to about 20 mA greater than the Under Current Occur Threshold. The Over Current Occur Threshold is set to 150% to 200% of the device rated operating current, and the Over Current Clear Threshold is set to about 50 mA less than the Over Current Occur Threshold. If RET antennas are connected in a non-regular scenario, the Under Current Occur Threshold is set to 20% to 30% of the total rated current of all ALDs controlled by the RRU. The Over Current Occur Threshold is set to a value that is 150% to 200% of the total rated current of all ALDs controlled by the RRU. If configured ALD model is not recommended by Huawei, the Under Current Occur Threshold is set to 20% to 30% of the total rated current of all ALDs controlled by the RRU. The Over Current Occur Threshold is set to 150% to 200% of the total rated current of all ALDs controlled by the RRU. There are three user-define types: UER_SELF_DEFINE1, UER_SELF_DEFINE2, and UER_SELF_DEFINE3. Generally, the value is UER_SELF_DEFINE1.
