Hardware Description 3 Working Principle and Function of the BBU
3 Working Principle and Function of the BBU
The BBU is a baseband processing unit. It processes baseband signals of a base station.
Working Principle
BBU consists of the following subsystems: baseband subsystem, cabinet subsystem,
transmission subsystem, interconnection subsystem, main control subsystem, monitoring
subsystem, and clock subsystem. Each subsystem consists of different modules.
l The baseband subsystem consists of the baseband processing unit.
l The cabinet subsystem consists of the backplane, fan, and power modules.
l The transmission subsystem consists of the main control and transmission unit as well as
the transmission extension unit.
l The interconnection subsystem consists of the main control and transmission unit(a) as well
as the infrastructure interconnection unit.
l The main control subsystem consists of the main control and transmission unit.
l The monitoring subsystem consists of the power module and monitoring unit.
l The clock subsystem consists of the main control and transmission unit as well as the
universal satellite card and clock unit.
NOTE
(a) In the interconnection subsystem, the UMPT is used as a main control and transmission unit.
The following figure shows the working principle of a BBU.

BBU
Hardware Description 3 Working Principle and Function of the BBU
Figure 3-1 Working principle of a BBU
Function
The BBU performs the following functions:
l Provides ports for connecting to the transmission equipment, RF modules, USB devicesa,
external reference clock, and LMT or U2000 to provide signal transmission, perform
automatic software upgrade, receive reference clock, and support BBU maintenance on the
LMT or U2000.
l Manages the entire base station system. The management involves the processing of uplink
and downlink data, signaling processing, resource management, and operation and
maintenance.
NOTE
a: The security of the USB port is ensured by encryption, and the USB port can be shut down using
commands. The USB commission port is used for commissioning the base station rather than configuring
and exporting information of the base station.

l In a UMTS single-mode base station, the UMPT and WMPT cannot be configured in the same BBU.
l The baseband processing board in UMTS mode configured in only slot 3 or 2 can be connected CPRI
cables. The UBBPd_U, WBBPd, or WBBPf is preferentially configured in slot 3 or 2. The priority of
the three kinds of boards is UBBPd_U > WBBPf > WBBPd.
l If five or more baseband processing boards working in UMTS mode are required, ensure that WBBP
or UBBPd_U boards are installed in both slots 2 and 3. At least one of the boards in slots 2 and 3 is
UBBPd_U, WBBPd, or WBBPf.
l If both slots 2 and 3 are occupied by the WBBPa or WBBPb boards, exchange boards to ensure that
the UBBPd_U, WBBPd, or WBBPf is configured in slot 3 or 2. The UBBPd_U, WBBPd, or WBBPf
is preferentially configured in slot 3.

BBU Slot Assignment in a UL Base Station

NOTE
l The UL base station is a separate-MPT base station. That is, the BBU houses two main control boards,
in which one works in UMTS mode and the other works in LTE mode.
l The U*L/U*T base station is a co-MPT base station. That is, the main control board in the BBU works
in both UMTS mode and LTE mode.

NOTE
When a GBTS configured with a GTMUb is to be evolved to a co-MPT multimode base station, a UMPT
is required to serve as the main control board shared by multiple modes. The original GTMUb serves as
an interface board which only provides CPRI ports for connecting the baseband unit to RF modules.

NOTE
In a GU dual-mode base station where the GTMU is connected to port on the WMPT or UMPT through
ports on their panels, part of CPRI bandwidth of UMTS mode is reserved for a TX and an RX channel of
GSM mode in case that bandwidths of GSM mode are insufficient. As a result, the number of cells supported
by UMTS mode is reduced.

NOTE
l The "Antenna Configuration" column lists the maximum configurations supported by various types of
baseband processing boards. A baseband processing board supports the maximum configurations and
any configurations that do not exceed the maximum configurations. For example, the LBBPc supports
the maximum configuration of 3x10 MHz 4T4R, and therefore supports any of the following
configurations: 3x1.4 MHz 4T4R, 3x3 MHz 4T4R, and 3x5 MHz 4T4R.
l As long as the maximum antenna configuration is not exceeded, different cells support different antenna
configurations. For example, if an LBBPd2 supports the 3x20 MHz 2T2R antenna configuration, the
three cells connected to the LBBPc can use the following antenna configurations: 2T2R, 2T2R, and
1T1R.
l Boards with the same antenna configuration support combinations of different bandwidth as long as
the total bandwidth does not exceed the maximum bandwidth supported by the board. For example,
the LBBPc supports the maximum configuration of 3x20 MHz 2T2R, and therefore supports any three
of the following configurations: 1.4 MHz 2T2R, 3 MHz 2T2R, 5 MHz 2T2R, 10 MHz 2T2R, 15 MHz
2T2R, and 20 MHz 2T2R.
l The LBBP supports CPRI convergence when the site is configured with any of the following RF
modules: RRU3221, RRU3240, RRU3828, RRU3829, RRU3928, RRU3929, LRFUe, MRFUd,
RRU3229, RRU3841, RRU3942, RRU3642, RRU3832, RRU3838, and RRU3268. The CPRI
convergence of LBBP boards must comply with the following principles:
l In LBBPc+LBBPc CPRI convergence mode, the CPRI convergence is allowed only between two
LBBPc boards, and one LBBPc board must be configured in slot 2 or 3.
l In LBBPc+LBBPd CPRI convergence mode, the CPRI convergence is allowed only from multiple
LBBPc boards to one LBBPd board, and only the CPRI ports on the LBBPd in slot 2 or 3 can
connect to RF units.
l In LTE TDD scenarios, the LBBPc cannot serve as a converging board and only can be a converged
board.
