Overview
2.1 Introduction In the CPRI MUX feature, multiple modes use a common public radio interface (CPRI) link to transmit data. Multimode RF modules are connected to a single-mode or multimode (1) baseband processing board/interface board through CPRI links. Another single-mode or multimode(1) baseband processing board/interface board is connected to the previous baseband processing board/ interface board through the BBU backplane and indirectly communicates with the multimode RF modules. The baseband processing board or interface board that is directly connected to multimode RF modules is called the converging board, and the corresponding mode is called the converging party. The baseband processing boar d or interface board that is indirectly connected to multimode RF modules is called the converged board, and the corresponding mode is called the converged party. In Figure 2-1, mode A is the converged party and mode B is the converging party. Note that mode A and mode B can be a single mode or co-BBP multiple modes.(1) Figure 2-1 Working principle of CPRI MUX

SingleRAN CPRI MUX Feature Parameter Description
2 Overview
NOTE l
(1)
UBBP boards are added in SRAN9.0, which support multimode co-BBP. Therefore, a UBBP board can serve as both the converging board and converged board.
l
Only multimode RF modules support CPRI MUX. Single-mode RF modules do not support CPRI MUX.
l
The modes of RF modules in the figures at chapters 4, 5, and 6 refer to the working modes of RF modules, not the supporting modes of RF modules.
2.2 Benefits This feature provides the following benefits: l
Reduced cable purchase, installation, and maintenance costs for newly deployed multimode base stations: Multiple modes can use a CPRI link to transmit data, and therefore the number of required optical modules and fiber optic cables decreases considerably.
l
Lower engineering costs and shorter service interruption duration in refarming scenarios: If a multimode RF module uses a single CPRI cable, newly deployed modes can share the module and the cable after refarming.
l
Guaranteed coverage for cascaded multimode RF modules: CPRI MUX allows multimode RF modules to be cascaded to ensure coverage along highways and railways.

If a BBU is configured with a multimode co-BBP board, and modes used in CPRI MUX are the same as or are the subset of the modes on the coBBP board, RF modules are connected to CPRI ports on the multimode coBBP board. For example, if the BBU is configured with a UBBP_GL, implement GL CPRI MUX on this UBBP_GL instead of a GO or LO baseband processing board.

NOTE l
l
(1)
If a baseband processing board is named UBBP_A/B/C, "A", "B", "C" indicates the mode whose baseband resources are configured on this board, baseband resources of different modes are isolated by "/". For example, UBBP_G/U/GU indicates a UBBP configured with GSM baseband resources, UMTS baseband resources, or GSM and UMTS baseband resources (GU co-BBP). (2)
If multiple modes are deployed on a UBBP, the mode of data transmitted through CPRI ports on this board can be all or some of the deployed modes. For example, the mode of data transmitted through the CPRI ports on a UBBP_GUL can be UMTS or UL.
l

(5) If
A UBBP_Ux indicates that this UBBP serves UMTS and other modes; a UBBP_Gx indicates that this UBBP serves GSM and other modes. If the data rate of a CPRI port on a UBRIb board is greater than 4.9 Gbit/s, the port can carry services of only one RAT in versions earlier than SRAN11.1 and carry services of two RATs in SRAN11.1 and later versions. GSM baseband signals are processed by RRUs, the signals do not need to be processed on the baseband processing board (UBBP_Gx) in the BBU.

(7)
GUL CPRI MUX, if the converging board is a UBRIb, UMTS and LTE cells of the converged party must be served by the specified baseband equipment group, and such a baseband equipment group must include only single-mode baseband processing boards. If GSM baseband signals are not processed by RF modules, the signals are processed on the UBBP_Gx. Therefore, a UBBP_Gx must be configured in the BBU.
3.2 BBU3910 Boards That Support CPRI MUX In separate-MPT scenarios, only UMTS and LTE can serve as the converging party.

CPRI Topology Principles for Multimode Base Stations l
The dual-star topology is recommended for a separate-MPT base station.
l
The star topology with CPRI MUX is recommended for a co-MPT base station.
l
The multimode load sharing topology is recommended when the CPRI bandwidth is insufficient in a co-MPT base station or a separate-MPT base station using the dual-star topology is reconstructed to a co-MPT base station.
l
The chain topology with CPRI MUX where multimode RF modules are cascaded is recommended for base stations deployed to provide coverage for stadiums, metros, and high-speed railways.

Chain Topology with CPRI MUX
In a chain topology with CPRI MUX, configurations of the BBU, such as a BBU5900, BBU3910A, BBU3910, or BBU3900, are the same as the configurations of the BBU in a star topology. On the RRU side, multimode RF modules working in the same or different modes can be cascaded on one CPRI link. Intra-mode cascading is recommended and inter-mode cascading is provided for use in specific scenarios. NOTE l
In a chain topology with CPRI MUX, preferentially activate GSM cells served by the RF modules that are configured at the upper levels on a chain, that is, closer to a baseband processing board.
l
All RF modules on the chain must work at the same rate.
l
Intra-mode cascading: All cascaded multimode RF modules are configured with the same mode and work in the same mode. Figure 10-1 shows GU CPRI MUX where a BBU3900 is used, UMTS serves as the converging party, the UBBP_U serves as the converging board, and GSM baseband signals are processed by RF modules.
l
Inter-mode cascading: Cascaded multimode RF modules work in different modes. Intermode cascading is implemented in the following scenarios:
–
Scenario 1 In the chain topology with co-MPT CPRI MUX, the working mode of an RF module includes GSM. For example, the working mode may be GO, GU, GL, or GUL. In this scenario, all RF modules on the chain must be multimode RF modules that support GSM. That is, all RF modules must support GU, GL, or GUL. Figure 10-2 shows co-MPT GU CPRI MUX where a BBU3900 is used, UMTS serves as the converging party, the UBBP_U serves as the converging board, and GSM baseband signals are processed by RF modules. The "UO Radio Unit" in this figure is working in UO mode, but it is a multimode RF module that supports GSM. That is, it supports GU or GUL.
–
Scenario 2 In the chain topology with CPRI MUX, GSM is not included in the working mode of any RF module. RF modules on the chain work in UO, LO, or UL mode. In this scenario, the RF modules on the chain can be any GU, GL, UL, or GUL RF modules. Figure 10-3 shows co-MPT UL CPRI MUX where a BBU3900 is used and UMTS serves as the converging party.

Scenario 3 In separate-MPT CPRI MUX, the multimode RF modules can work in one or two modes, but all multimode RF modules must support both the converging and converged parties. For example, in separate-MPT GU CPRI MUX, the multimode RF modules can work in GO, UO, or GU mode, but these modules must support GU or GUL, as shown in Figure 10-4. NOTE
For inter-mode cascading, if an RF module whose working mode includes GSM is configured with GSM TRXs, it must be configured at the upper level on a chain, that is, closer to a baseband processing board.

11
CPRI MUX with Multimode Load Sharing Topology
In co-MPT scenarios, if two CPRI links on an RF module carry the data of two or more modes, this network topology is called the multimode load sharing topology. l
If each CPRI link in the multimode load sharing topology can transmit data of only one mode, the CPRI MUX feature is not required. For details on this network topology, see RRU/RFU/AAU Topologies > Load-Sharing Topology > Multimode Load-Sharing Topology in RF Unit and Topology Management Feature Parameter Description.
l
If a CPRI link in the multimode load sharing topology needs to transmit data of multiple modes, the CPRI MUX feature is required. Currently, only GUL RF modules support CPRI MUX with multimode load sharing. Two CPRI links carry GU+L data, with one link carrying GU data and the other carrying LTE data, as shown in Figure 11-1.

SingleRAN CPRI MUX Feature Parameter Description
11 CPRI MUX with Multimode L oad Sharing Topology
NOTICE l
In the multimode load sharing topology, two CPRI links of an RF module must be connected to two baseband processing boards or two interface boards of different modes. In other words, only a BBU5900, BBU3910, or BBU3900 supports the multimode load sharing topology.
l
In the multimode load sharing topology, the number of LTE cells cannot exceed the maximum supported by each CPRI link, which depends on the CPRI port rate. For the maximum number of LTE cells supported by different CPRI port rates, see the following documents: "Specifications of CPRI Ports" in Product Specifications > Technical Specifications of the BBU3900s and BBU3910s > Technical Specifications of the eNodeB > Technical Specifications of the eNodeB FDD of 3900 Series Base Station Technical Description for the BBU3900 and BBU3910 "Specifications of CPRI Ports" in Product Specifications > Technical Specifications of the BBU5900 > Technical Specifications of the eNodeB > Technical Specifications of the eNodeB FDD of 5900 Series Base Station Technical Description for the BBU5900
l
If a UBBP is used in the multimode load sharing topology, the UBBP must have been configured with baseband resources of the mode served by this board. Otherwise, carriers cannot be successfully allocated to the CPRI ports on this UBBP.
l
In multimode load sharing, if a CPRI port is faulty or the board carrying this CPRI port is faulty, services of certain modes cannot be established. After the fault is cleared, services of all modes will recover.

Triple-Mode Dual-Star Topology
In a triple-mode dual-star topology, two modes use CPRI MUX and form a separate-MPT dual-star topology with the third mode. This topology applies only to a BBU3900 and a BBU3910. NOTE
The converging and converged parties in the CPRI MUX feature must share one BBU.
12.1 GU+L Dual-Star Topology In Figure 12-1, BBU 0 uses separate-MPT GU CPRI MUX. The WBBPf/UBBP_U provides a CPRI link to connect to the multimode RF module. In BBU 1 (LTE mode), the LBBP/ UBBP_L provides a CPRI link to connect to the multimode RF module. In this way, the WBBPf/UBBP_U and LBBP/UBBP_L form a GU+L dual-star topology.

In BBU 1 (UMTS mode), the WBBP/ UBBP_U provides a CPRI link to connect to the multimode RF module. In this way, the LBBPd/UBBP_L and WBBP/UBBP_U form a GL+U dual-star topology.

12.3 G[U*L] Dual-Star Topology UMTS and LTE share one main control board, and the WBBPf/UBBP_U, LBBPd/UBBP_L, or UBBP_UL uses a UL port to connect to a multimode RF module. GSM uses an independent main control board GTMU, and the GTMU uses a CPRI port to connect to the multimode RF module. In this way, the WBBPf/UBBP_U, LBBPd/UBBP_L, or UBBP_UL and GTMU form a G[U*L] dual-star topology. Figure 12-3 shows the G[U*L] dual-star topology in which a WBBPf/UBBP_U provides UL CPRI ports.

GSM: When GSM baseband signals are processed by RF modules, the numbers of GSM TRXs are reduced by half if the following condition is met:
–
20 km < Distance between the BBU and the RF module ≤ 40 km. l
l
UMTS:
–
The number of cells supported when the antenna capability is 1T2R is the same as that supported when the antenna capability is 2T2R.
–
The antenna capability is inversely proportional to the number of cells. For example, the number of cells supported when the antenna capability is 1T2R is twice that supported when the antenna capability is 2T4R.
LTE:
–
When LTE cells have the same antenna capability and CPRI l ine rate, the number of cells supported by a 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, or 20 MHz cell is inversely proportional to the bandwidth of LTE cells. For example, the number of cells supported by a 3 MHz cell is twice that supported by a 5 MHz cell, and the number of cells supported by a 5 MHz cell is twice that supported by a 10 MHz cell.
–
When LTE cells have the same antenna capability and CPRI line rate, 1.4 and 3 MHz cells support the same number of cells, and 15 and 20 MHz cells support the same number of cells.
–
When LTE cells have the same bandwidth, the antenna capability is inversely proportional to the number of cells for 1T1R, 2T2R, and 4T4R. For example, when the cell bandwidth is 20 MHz, the number of cells supported when the antenna capability is 2T2R is twice that supported when the antenna capability is 4T4R.
–
When LTE cells have the same bandwidth, the number of cells supported by 1T2R and 2T2R antennas is the same, and that supported by 2T4R and 4T4R antennas is the same.
Examples of Application Scenarios Scenario 1: BBU3900, GL 1800 MHz, GSM S2/2/2, LTE 3x20 MHz 2T2R
The capacity requirement of each CPRI link is 2 GSM TRXs + LTE 1x20 MHz 2T2R. The capacity requirement of each board is 6 GSM TRXs + LTE 3x20 MHz 2T2R. According to Table 13-1, the CPRI line rate for a CPRI link that supports a 20 MHz 2T2R LTE cell is 4.9 Gbit/s. The corresponding carrier capacity of a GL converging board is 126 GSM TRXs + LTE 4x20 MHz 2T2R. Therefore, the capacity requirements can be met and this scenario is supported. Scenario 2: BBU3900, GL 1800 MHz, GSM S2/2/2, LTE 3x10 MHz 4T4R
The capacity requirement of each CPRI link is 2 GSM TRXs + LTE 1x10 MHz 4T4R. The capacity requirement of each board is 6 GSM TRXs + LTE 3x10 MHz 4T4R. Therefore, a 10 MHz 4T4R LTE cell needs to be converted to 2T2R LTE cells based on the preceding calculation methods. The conversion is as follows: 1x10 MHz 4T4R -> 2x10 MHz 2T2R -> 1x20 MHz 2T2R. According to Table 13-1, the CPRI line rate for a CPRI link that supports a 20 MHz 2T2R LTE cell is 4.9 Gbit/s. The corresponding carrier capacity of a GL converging board is 126 GSM TRXs + LTE 4x20 MHz 2T2R. Therefore, the capacity requirements can be met and this scenario is supported. Issue 04 (2017-10-17)

Scenario 3: BBU3900, GL 1800 MHz, GSM S2/2/2/2/2/2, LTE 6x20 MHz 2T2R
The capacity requirement of each CPRI link is 2 GSM TRXs + LTE 1x20 MHz 2T2R. The capacity requirement of each board is 12 GSM TRXs + LTE 6x20 MHz 2T2R. According to Table 13-1, the CPRI line rate for a CPRI link that supports a 20 MHz 2T2R LTE cell is 4.9 Gbit/s. The corresponding carrier capacity of a GL converging board is 126 GSM TRXs + LTE 4x20 MHz 2T2R. Therefore, the capacity requirements of LTE 6x20 MHz 2T2R cannot be met and this scenario is not supported. In this case, contact Huawei engineers for technical support.
13.2 Cascading Level of the Chain Topology with CPRI MUX Table 13-4 lists the maximum cascading level of the chain topology with CPRI MUX.

15 Network Impact
CPRI MUX in Co-MPT Scenarios CPRI MUX in co-MPT scenarios has the following impacts on system reliability: l
CS and PS services of the converged party will be interrupted when a CPRI port of the converging party becomes faulty or when either of the following operations is performed by the converging party:
–
Software reset or power-off reset on the converging board blocking
–
Removing and then inserting the converging board
–
Commissioning CPRI ports on the converging board
In general, the interruption lasts shorter than 3 minutes and the longest interruption lasts no longer than 3.5 minutes. l
If the WBBPf converges data and a UMTS application is deleted or reset, cells on the converged party will become unavailable for less than 5 minutes.
l
If the LBBPd converges data and an LTE application is deleted or reset, cells on the converged party will become unavailable for less than 5 minutes.
l
If the UBRIb converges data and a GSM application is deleted or reset, there is no impact on the converged party.
l
When a UBBP serves as the converging board, deleting or resetting the applications of the modes configured on this board does not affect the converged party.
l
Adding baseband resources to one mode configured on a UBBP interrupts services of other modes configured on this board, but does not affect services of the converged party that communicates with this board through the BBU backplane. NOTE
The service interruption duration does not include the duration of manual operations.

Meaning: Indicates the type of the topology. In a ring topology, the service data is transmitted on the fiber optic cable that carries the HDLC link. In a load sharing topology, the service data is transmitted on two fiber optic cables simultaneously, which enhances the transmission capability. The physical connection in the ring topology is similar to that in the load sharing topology. The trunk chain enables multiple CPRI fiber optic cables to simultaneously transmit service data.
