3Principles and Functions of a BBU3900A BBU3900 is a baseband processing unit. It processes the baseband signals of a base station.
Principle
The BBU3900 includes the baseband subsystem, cabinet subsystem, transmission subsystem,
interconnection subsystem, main control subsystem, monitoring subsystem, and clock
subsystem, and each subsystem consists of different units or modules as follows:
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 transmission unit and transmission
extension unit.
l The interconnection subsystem consists of the main control transmission unitaand
infrastructure interconnection unit.
l The main control subsystem consists of the main control transmission unit.
l The monitoring subsystem consists of the power module and monitoring unit.
l The clock subsystem consists of the main control transmission unit and clock signal
processing unit.
NOTE
a: The main control transmission unit in an interconnection subsystem is the UMPT.
The following figure shows the principle of the BBU3900.

Figure 3-1Principle of the BBU3900
Function
The BBU3900 performs the following functions:
l Provides ports to be connected to the transmission equipment, RF modules, USB
devicesa, external clock reference, and LMT or M2000 for transmitting signals,
automatically upgrading software, receiving clock reference, and maintaining the BBU on
the LMT or M2000.
l Manages the entire base station system, including 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.

4.5 BBU Slot Assignment in a GU or G*U Base Station
This section describes the principles for BBU slot assignment in a GU or G*U base station.
BBU Slot Assignment in a GU Base Station
NOTE
l A GU base station is a separate-MPT base station. This means that in one single BBU, there are two
main control boards working in GSM and UMTS modes separately.
l A G*U base station is a co-MPT GU base station. This means that in one single BBU, the main control
board work in GSM and UMTS modes simultaneously.
The following figure shows the BBU slot assignment in a GU base station.

l GU+L indicates two BBUs, one working in GU mode, the other in LTE mode.
lG[U*L] indicates that one single BBU work in triple modes. The BBU is configured with two maincontrol boards. One is the GTMU or GTMUb working in GSM mode, and the other is the UMPT
working in UMTS and LTE modes.
l G*U*L indicates that one single BBU is configured with one UMPT working in triple modes.
The following table describes the BBU slot assignment in a separate-MPT triple-mode base
station in various application scenarios.
