1 Read-Ahead Information

1.2 Applicable BTS Versions


Figure 1.2 describes version requirements for the GSM single-mode BTS before an upgrade.

For a multi-mode base station, SingleRAN3.0 or later can be upgraded directly to the target
version whereas versions earlier than SingleRAN3.0 must be upgraded to SingleRAN3.0 first
and then to the target version.
For the upgrade of SingleRAN3.0 and later versions, check Appendix 1 Version Mapping
Information to see whether the source version is a SingleRAN version. You can obtain this
appendix from the multi-mode base station release notes in the document package delivered
with the software version of the multi-mode base station. Figure 1.2 describes upgrade
requirements for SingleRAN versions. For non-SingleRAN versions, contact Huawei
technical support for an upgrade policy.
Figure 1.2 Applicable BTS versions

Upgrade Guide (SMT-Based)

1 Read-Ahead Information

4.

This document takes the upgrade from BTS3000V100R012C00 to


BTS3000V100R012C00SPCXXX of the DBS3900 GSM as an example.

5.

The procedure for upgrading the BTS3900 GSM or BTS3900A GSM is the same as that
for upgrading the DBS3900 GSM. The subsequent chapters take the DBS3900 GSM as
an example to describe the upgrade.

6.

During a BTS upgrade, the packages of GTMU software, TRX software, and software of
the monitoring boards are involved. The upgrade process of the DRRU, DRFU, GRFU,
MRRU, or MRFU is the same as that of the GRRU. The upgrade process of other boards
is the same as that of the EMU. This document takes the upgrades of the GTMU, UBRI,
GRRU, and EMU as an example. For the list of the boards to be upgraded, see section
7.1"How Many Categories of Boards Are There in a BTS?"

7.

You are required to upgrade other boards except the GTMU, UBRI, UTRP and TRX
boards according to the precaution released by HUAWEI. The upgrade of other boards
should be performed after that of the GTMU, UBRI, UTRP and TRX software. For
details, see section 7.2"How to Upgrade the Monitoring Boards?"

8.

When the BTS version before an upgrade is BTS3000V100R008C11 and the version of
data configuration is SRAN3.0, if you want to perform an SMT-based upgrade, see
section 7.4"How to Perform an Upgrade in the Case That the Version Before an Upgrade
Is BTS3000V100R008C11 and Version of Data Configuration Is SRAN3.0 or Later
Versions".

9.

The following modules cannot be upgraded on the SMT: GRFU V2, GRRU V2. If you
need to upgrade these modules on the SMT, upgrade them by using the USB flash drive.

10. Only BTS3000V100R012 or later versions support the UTRP.


11. For a multi-mode base station, ensure that the versions of different modes are compatible
with each other after the upgrade. If a multi-mode and co-module base station is
upgraded mode by mode, the upgrade interval between two modes should not exceed one
day.

1.5 Upgrading Only One Side of a Multi-Mode


Base Station
This section is applicable only to a multi-mode base station. To upgrade a GSM base station,
ignore this section.

1.5.1 Impacts on the Services of the Peer End


When you perform an upgrade on the GSM side for a GSM +UMTS or GSM+LTE base
station, services on the peer side (UMTS or LTE) are interrupted for three minutes at most.

1.5.2 Load Control Rights


The USCU and the RF modules shared by all modes of a multi-mode base station can be
upgraded with the mode that has loading control rights.
To upgrade a dual-mode base station on one side only, you need to set loading control rights.
For details of the ownership of loading control rights, see Appendix 1 Version Mapping
Information in the folder MBTS Release Notes.
Run the MML command SET BTSLOADCTRL to set the loading control rights manually in
the following scenarios:
