In the connected BBUs shown in Figure 2-2, BBU 0 and BBU 1 are the root BBU and leaf BBU, respectively. You can identify whether a BBU serves as the root BBU or leaf BBU by using the following methods: l
In the UCIU+UMPT interconnection, the BBU configured with a UCIU is the root BBU.
l
In the UMPT+UMPT interconnection, the BBU at the end with the Master color-coding on the BBU interconnection signal cable is the root BBU. Fiber optic cables cannot connect BBUs in this interconnection method.
The root BBU and leaf BBU are determined in the site hardware planning. A BBU interconnection signal cable is logically called CTRLLNK for an eGBTS, a NodeB or an eNodeB and is logically called BTSCTRLLNK for a GBTS. By default, BBU 1 is the local node and BBU 0 is the upper-level node of a CTRLLNK or BTSCTRLLNK. In UCIU+UMPT interconnection, SingleRAN9.0 supports a maximum of two CTRLLNKs for a NodeB or an eNodeB and two BTSCTRLLNKs for a GBTS. In UMPT+UMPT interconnection, SingleRAN9.0 supports only one CTRLLNK for an eGBTS, a NodeB or an eNodeB and one BTSCTRLLNK for a GBTS.

A UMTS baseband board and a UMTS main control board are installed in both BBU 0 and BBU 1, and the two UMTS baseband boards are interconnected using a BBU interconnection signal cable. Among UMTS baseband boards, WBBPf boards and UBBPd boards can provide HEI ports for UMTS baseband interconnection. A WBBPf board or UBBPd board can be installed only in slot 2 or slot 3 (preferred) in either BBU. A BBU interconnection signal cable between WBBPf boards transmits baseband data and expands baseband resources. A BBU interconnection signal cable between WBBPf boards cannot be used interchangeably with that for UCIU+UMPT or UMPT+UMPT interconnection. A BBU baseband interconnection signal cable is logically called BBPLNK. Either end of a BBPLNK can be configured as the link head. It is recommended that you configure the end on the BBU 0 side as the link head. SRAN9.0 supports only one BBPLNK. NOTE
A CTRLLNK (for NodeB/eNodeB) or BTSCTRLLNK (for GBTS) must be set up before a BBPLINK.

5.3.2 Subracks and Hardware Configurations for the BBUs For the installation locations and hardware configurations of BBU 0 and BBU 1 in each cabinet when a new multimode base station is deployed, see 3900 Series Base Station Hardware Description. In UCIU+UMPT interconnection, the UCIU is controlled by only one single-mode main control board. Otherwise, ALM-26274 Inter-System Board Object Configuration Conflict is reported. UCIU-related alarms are reported only to the single-mode main control board controlling the UCIU. When deploying a new Multimode base station, you are advised to comply with the following rules to set the control mode for the UCIU: l
In UMTS baseband capacity expansion scenarios, UMTS is preferred to control the UCIU.
l
In other scenarios, the mode priority descends from GSM, to UMTS, and then to LTE.
l
In capacity expansion scenarios, it is recommended that the controlling mode of the UCIU remain unchanged. Alternatively, you can modify the controlling mode based on information provided in Table 5-2.
Table 5-2 lists the mode recommended for controlling the UCIU in each scenario. Table 5-2 Mode recommended for controlling the UCIU in each scenario Mode

SingleRAN BBU Interconnection Feature Parameter Description
5 Engineering Guidelines
Independent Transmission In a triple-mode base station deployment scenario, each mode is connected to the transport network through its own port and is deployed in the same way as that in a single-mode base station. In UMTS baseband capacity expansion scenarios, both BBUs have a UMTS main control board, and either BBU can be connected to the RNC through the Iub interface. However, it is recommended that BBU 0 be connected to the RNC.
Inter-BBU Co-Transmission For engineering guidelines about co-transmission, see Common Transmission Feature Parameter Description. A multimode base station supports the following co-transmission modes to implement inter-BBU co-transmission: l
UMPT-based co-transmission through backplane interconnection All modes except the one controlling the UMPT send their data to the UMPT through BBU backplanes and BBU interconnection signal cables. The co-transmission port on the UMPT is connected to the transport network, and the link between the port and transport network carries data of all the modes in the multimode base station. When deploying a multimode base station, first deploy the mode controlling the UMPT. Otherwise, other modes cannot be deployed.
l
UTRPc-based co-transmission through backplane interconnection All modes send their data to the UTRPc through BBU backplanes and BBU interconnection signal cables. The co-transmission port on the UTRPc is connected to the transport network, and the link between the port and transport network carries data of all the modes in the multimode base station. When deploying a multimode base station, first deploy the mode controlling the UTRPc. Otherwise, other modes cannot be deployed.
In new multimode base station deployment scenarios, the UTRPc has the following configuration restrictions: l
The UTRPc can be controlled by only one mode whose main control board is installed in the same BBU as the UTRPc.
l
When deploying a new multimode base station, it is recommended that you deploy the control mode of a UTRPc following a priority descending from LTE, to UMTS, and then to GSM. By default, the UTRPc is controlled by UMTS before delivery.
Table 5-3 lists the mode recommended for controlling the UTRPc and the related mode deployment order when an Multimode base station works in different modes.

5.3.5 Clocks With BBU Interconnection, a base station uses one of the following clocks: l
Independent reference clock
l
Common reference clock
Independent Reference Clock In triple-mode base station deployment scenarios, the reference clock for each mode is the same as that in a single-mode base station. WBBPfIn UMTS baseband capacity expansion scenarios, both BBU 0 and BBU 1 have a WBBPf. The reference clock can be configured in either BBU.
Common Reference Clock The common reference clock can be configured in either BBU 0 or BBU 1. The BBU configured with the common reference clock shares control data and clock signals with the other BBU through a BBU interconnection signal cable and the BBU backplane. For engineering guidelines about the common reference clock, see Common Reference Clock Parameter Description.
5.4 Feature Deployment 5.4.1 Deployment Requirements None.
5.4.2 Data Preparation Upgrade to Triple-Mode Base Stations Perform the following steps to plan the data: Step 1 Designate BBU0 and BBU1. Plan the cabinet number and subrack number for each BBU. If BBU0 and BBU1 are configured in the same cabinet, their subrack numbers must be different. If they are configured in different cabinets, their subrack numbers can be the same. Step 2 Plan the control links. ----End The control link is logically CTRLLNK for NodeB or eNodeB, and BTSCTRLLNK for GBTS. Physically, the control link is the BBU interconnection signal cable between the UCIU and UMPT. Issue Draft A (2014-01-20)
