BTS3911E

Technical Description 1 BTS3911E Technical Description

Issue Draft A (2015-07-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

lBTS nodes use abstract resources and a unified interface design to mask software and

hardware differences. Therefore, each Service can be flexibly deployed on each type of

resources. As a result, resources can be flexibly shared and allocated among each type of

Service.

For details about the function of a BTS node, see section 1.2.1 BTS Node at the RAN

Physical Layer"1.2.1 BTS Node at the RAN Physical Layer."

lFor details about the function of NodeB Service and eNodeB Service, see section 1.2.2

Base Station at the RAN Logical Layer"1.2.2 Base Station at the RAN Logical

Layer."

lItf_Platform-Service includes the Service control interfaces provided by a BTS node, such

as the Service deployment interface, version upgrade interface, start and restart interface,

and status monitoring interface.

lItf_Node-RAT includes the interfaces provided by a BTS node to control the common

resources in a base station, such as the resource request, release, activation, and

reconfiguration interfaces. Common resources in a base station include transmission

resources, carrier resource, and universal resources such as SCTP links, TX and RX

channels, and CPU progress.

1.3.3 Resource Model

Function modules of a base station consist of resource modules, including Node,

NodeBFunction, and eNodeBFunction. In charge of device and transmission resources, Node

implements logical functions of a BTS node. In charge of RAT-specific radio resources,

NodeBFunction and eNodeBFunction implement logical functions of NodeB Service and

eNodeB Service, respectively.

Figure 1-6 Mapping between a BTS3911E and its resource model

Figure 1-9 Chain topology

NOTE

lThe BTS3911Es do not support the chain topology if the transport network adopts PPPoE

authentication.

lA maximum of three levels of BTS3911Es can be cascaded, that is, three BTS3911Es can be cascaded

in chain topology for transmission resource sharing.

lA BTS3911E can connect to the transport network over an electrical port or optical port, depending

on actual requirements. However, one BTS3911E can use two transmission ports at most, one for

connection to the transport network, and the other for cascading.

lAdvantage: This topology helps reduce the costs for transmission equipment, construction,

and transmission link lease.

lDisadvantages:

–Signals travel through many nodes, lowering network reliability.

reconfiguration does not require device data reconfiguration, and device data reconfiguration

does not require service data reconfiguration either.

BTS3911E

Technical Description 1 BTS3911E Technical Description

Issue Draft A (2015-07-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

Fault Management

Fault management involves fault detection, fault isolation, self-healing, alarm reporting, and

alarm correlation. The BTS3911E O&M system can manage faults in hardware, environment,

software, transmission, cells, and services.

lFault isolation prevents faults from affecting the BTS3911E operational continuity. Self-

healing minimizes the impact of faults on services by lowering specifications or

reestablishing cells.

lAlarm correlation enables a BTS3911E to report only the root fault and the ultimate impact

on services.

Performance Management

Performance management involves periodic performance measurement on the BTS3911Es and

the collection, storage, and reporting of measurement results.

The BTS3911Es collect performance statistics every 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes and can store the

results in a maximum of three days. The performance measurement covers the BTS3911E, cell,

neighboring cell, transmission, standard interface, and device usage measurement.

The BTS3911Es support real-time KPI monitoring at intervals of 1 minute, which helps detect

and diagnose faults in a timely manner.

Tracing Management

Tracing management facilitates routine maintenance, commissioning, and troubleshooting by

tracing internal messages, messages over the interfaces and signaling links, and messages to and

from UEs.

Security Management

Security management implements user authentication and access control, including user account

management, rights management, login management, identity authentication, and operation

authentication.

Transmission channels between the BTS3911Es and the U2000 can run over Secure Socket

Layer (SSL).

The BTS3911E deployment solutions include automatic BTS3911E discovery, BTS3911E

deployment by USB, remote BTS3911E deployment, and radio parameter self-planning. These

solutions allow onsite installation personnel to simply install hardware without the need for

portable computers, reducing deployment workload and increasing deployment efficiency.

lAutomatic BTS3911E discovery: Eliminates the need to configure the IP addresses of the

BTS3911Es and the EMS.

lBTS3911E deployment by USB: Downloads software and data stored in a USB flash drive

to the BTS3911Es. This reduces the download duration when the bandwidth of transmission

between the BTS3911Es and the EMS is insufficient.

lRemote BTS3911E deployment: Allows software commissioning and acceptance at the

OMC.

lRadio parameter self-planning: Generates radio parameters for the BTS3911Es in online

mode, lessening the workload of parameter planning and configuration.

Device Management

Device management involves data configuration, status management, fault detection, and

troubleshooting for all the physical BTS3911E devices. On the BTS3911E device panel, you

can easily view the device status and perform simple operations such as query and reset.

Inventory Management

1.8 Reliability

This chapter describes the reliability of the BTS3911E, including system reliability, hardware

reliability and software reliability.

System Reliability

The BTS3911Es adopt redundancy design and improved fault detection and isolation solutions

to enhance system reliability.

lRedundancy

Key files, such as software versions and data configuration files, all support redundancy.

lReliability

A BTS3911E automatically detects and diagnoses faults in the software, hardware, and

environment, and reports alarms. Then, the BTS3911E takes self-healing measures to clear

the faults. If the faults cannot be cleared, the BTS3911E isolates the faulty units.

Hardware Reliability

lOvertemperature protection

If the temperature around a power amplifier (PA) in a BTS3911E is too high, the BTS3911E

reports an overtemperature alarm and handles the problem as follows:

lIf the temperature is higher than the threshold for a major alarm, the BTS3911E switches

off the PA and stops providing services. This protects the BTS3911E from damage caused

by increasing temperature.

lIf the temperature is higher than the threshold for a minor alarm, the BTS3911E enables

the temperature derating function to ensure the services of admitted UEs and refuses the

access requests of new UEs to prevent the temperature from keeping increasing.

This function protects the PA from damage caused by overtemperature.

lReliable power supply

The BTS3911Es use the following techniques to achieve a reliable power supply:

lSupport for a wide-range of voltages as well as surge protection

lPower failure protection for programs and data

lPower supply protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, and reverse polarity protection

and negative poles

lSurge protection

The BTS3911Es take surge protection measures on AC power sockets, FE/GE ports,

antenna connectors, and clock ports.

Software Reliability

lRedundancy

To ensure normal operation of a BTS3911E when errors occur in important files or data,

the BTS3911E provides the following redundancy functions:

BTS3911E

Technical Description 1 BTS3911E Technical Description

Issue Draft A (2015-07-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

lSoftware version redundancy: The BTS3911E stores software versions, including the

BootROM version, in different partitions to provide redundancy. If the active version is

abnormal, the BTS3911e switches to the backup version.

lData configuration file redundancy: The BTS3911E stores data configuration files in

different partitions to provide redundancy. If the current file is damaged, the BTS3911E

can continue working properly by loading the backup file.

lError tolerance capability

If software errors occur, the self-healing capability prevents the BTS3911Es from collapse.

The software error tolerance capability covers the following aspects:

lScheduled checks of key resources: A BTS3911E checks software resource usage and

generates related logs and alarms. This allows the BTS3911E to release unavailable

resources.

lTask monitoring: When software is running, a BTS3911E monitors the running status of

every task for errors and faults. If an error or fault is detected, an alarm is reported and self-

healing measures are taken to restore the task.

lData check: A BTS3911E performs scheduled or event-triggered data consistency checks

and restores data consistency selectively or preferentially. In addition, the BTS3911E

generates related logs and alarms.

lWatchdog: In the event of a software error, a BTS3911E detects the error using the software

and hardware watchdogs and automatically restarts.
