BBU
Working Principle and Function of a BBU
A BBU is a baseband processing unit. It processes baseband signals of a base station.
Working Principle
A BBU consists of the following subsystems: baseband subsystem, power and mechanical
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.
The power and mechanical subsystem consists of the backplane, fan, and power
modules.
The transmission subsystem consists of the main control and transmission unit as well as
the transmission extension unit.
The interconnection subsystem consists of the main control and transmission unita as
well as the infrastructure interconnection unit.
The main control subsystem consists of the main control and transmission unit.
The monitoring subsystem consists of the power module and monitoring unit.
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.
Issue 08 (2015-10-30)

BBU
Figure 3-1 Working principle of a BBU
Function
A 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 transmit signals, perform automatic
software upgrade, receive reference clock, and support BBU maintenance on the LMT or
U2000.
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 If two or more baseband boards in GSM mode are required, ensure that at least one of the baseband
board (UBBPd_G or UBRIb) is installed in slot 1, slot 2, or slot 3.
l In a GBTS, the UBBP_G installed in slot 4 cannot be connected to CPRI cables.

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.

Function
A UMPT performs the following functions:
l
Manages configuration and devices, monitors performance, and processes signaling.
Processes signaling and manages resources for other boards in the BBU.
Provides a USB port, transmission ports, and a maintenance port to perform automatic
software upgrade, transmit signals, and support BBU maintenance on the LMT or
U2000.

A WBBP provides CPRI ports for communication with RF modules.
A WBBPd supports interference cancellation (IC) within the board.
When the CPRI cables connect RF modules carrying corresponding cells to a WBBPd,
the WBBPd installed in slot 2 or 3 supports IC of uplink data.

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 bandwidth of GSM mode is 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, an 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 An LBBP supports combinations of different bandwidths as long as the total bandwidth does not
exceed the maximum bandwidth supported by the LBBP. For example, an 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 An 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.
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 modules.
l In LTE TDD scenarios, an LBBPc cannot serve as a converging board and only can serve as a
converged board.

l The LBBPc does not support CPRI compression.
l If the CPRI extension switch is turned on, carrier specifications supported by the
LBBPd with a CPRI port rate of 9.8 Gbit/s are affected only when CPRI compression is
used. For details about the CPRI extension switch, see the CPRIEX parameter in the
MOD BBP or LST BBP command. When the CPRI extension switch is turned on, only
the CPRI0, CPRI1, and CPRI2 ports on the LBBPd can be used.
NOTE
The preceding table lists the maximum numbers of cells and antennas supported by each CPRI link with
a corresponding CPRI port rate. In combined RF module scenarios, the CPRI port rate is determined by
the actual numbers of cells and antennas carried by each CPRI link.

l 1+1 redundancy backup mode: When the power requirement of the BBU does not exceed the
maximum power provided by a single UPEU, the two UPEU boards work in 1+1 backup mode and
only one UPEU is working at a time.
l Current equalization mode: Only the UPEUc supports this mode. When the power requirement of
the BBU exceeds the maximum power provided by a single UPEUc, both UPEUc boards provide
power output.
l A BBU cannot house two UPEU boards of different types. When the power required by the BBU
exceeds the power specifications of the BBU:
l
If the BBU has been configured with one or two UPEUa boards, replace the boards with two
UPEUc boards.
If the BBU has been configured with one UPEUc board, add a UPEUc board.
Panel
Figure 6-36, Figure 6-37, Figure 6-38, and Figure 6-39 show the four types of UPEU
boards.
NOTE
l A UPEUc and a UPEUd have silkscreens UPEUc and UPEUd indicating their board types on them,
respectively, whereas a UPEUa and a UPEUb do not have such silkscreens indicating their board
types. A UPEUa and a UPEUb, however, can be distinguished by the silkscreens -48V and +24V on
them.
l The silkscreen above the power port is in the "A; B" format, for example, "-48 V; 8 A". A indicates
the rated voltage and B indicates the rated current.

A UPEU provides two ports with each transmitting one channel of RS485 signals and
two ports with each transmitting four channels of Boolean signals. The Boolean signals
can only be dry contact or open collector (OC) signals.

Function
The UBRI or UBRIb performs the following functions:
l
A UBRI or UBRIb provides extended CPRI optical or electrical ports.
When a UBRI or UBRIb is working in GSM mode, RF modules process baseband

signals.
A UBRIb receives CPRI signals in single-mode or multimode base stations.
A UBRIb only supports single mode in separate-MPT base stations.
