Overview
2.1 Introduction USU3900-based multi-BBU interconnection (multi-BBU interconnection for short) allows two or more baseband units (BBUs) to communicate with each other and process services by connecting the BBUs and universal switching units (USUs). BBUs and USUs are connected using the following types of cables: l
Infrastructure interconnection cable This type of cable connects the cascading interface (CI) port on the main control board in a BBU and an M port (M0 to M4) on the universal inter-connection infrastructure unit (UCIU) in a USU or connects the CI port on the switch main processing & transmission unit (SMPT) in a first-level USU and an M port (M0 to M4) on the UCIU in the secondlevel USU. The cable transmits control information about the topology, clock, heartbeat, and inter-cell link setup and release.
l
Baseband interconnection cable This type of cable connects the high speed extension interface (HEI) port on a baseband processing unit (BBP) in a BBU and an M port (M0 to M4/S1) on a universal interconnection extension unit (UCXU) in a USU or connects the M5/S0 port on a UCXU in a first-level USU and an M port (M0 to M4/S1) on a UCXU in the second-level USU. The cable transmits cell coordination information.
2.2 Benefits Multi-BBU interconnection provides the following benefits: l
Helps achieve coordination between inter-BBU cells when features, such as LAOFD-001003 Carrier Aggregation for 2CC based on Coordinated BBU), are enabled.
l
Reduces the number of required Global Positioning System (GPS) antennas because interconnected BBUs can share GPS clock sources. NOTE
The GPS clock source includes the RGPS clock source.

In the LTE system, slots 4, 0, 1, 2, and 3 for BBPs are prioritized in ascending order. A BBP can be installed in slot 5 but this BBP cannot be connected to the USU. Through the backplane, BBPs that are not connected to the USU transfer cell coordination information to the BBPs that are connected to the USU by using baseband interconnection cables. Then, BBUs exchange the cell coordination information through the USU to implement inter-BBU cell coordination.
Restrictions Restrictions on the interconnection between BBUs and a USU are as follows: l
Two to five BBUs can be connected to the USU.
l
The USU can house a maximum of five UCXUs and one UCIU. The UCIU is always installed in slot 5.
l
The number of UCXUs to be configured depends on the number of BBPs in a BBU to be connected to the UCXUs. The upper limit is 5 for LTE. For example, when three LBBPd boards in a BBU need to be connected to UCXUs, three UCXUs are required.
l
The slot numbers of the two boards connected by an infrastructure interconnection cable must be the same. For example, if a BBP is installed in slot 3 of a BBU, the UCXU connected to the BBP must also be installed in slot 3 of the USU.
l
A BBU must be connected to the ports with the same number on the UCIU and UCXUs in a USU using an infrastructure interconnection cable and baseband interconnection cables, respectively. For example, if a BBU is connected to the M0 port on the UCIU in a USU, the BBU must be connected to the M0 ports on the UCXUs in the USU.

Clock Synchronization Solutions
This chapter describes the optional features TDLOFD-081213 Inter-BBU Clock Sharing and LOFD-081220 Inter-BBU Clock Sharing. After BBUs are interconnected, links on the user and control planes are automatically set up without manual configuration. To meet the time synchronization requirements of cell coordination between interconnected BBUs, one of the following clock synchronization solutions can be used: l
Solution 1: Each BBU is configured with a clock source for time synchronization, and the USU clock can work in free-run mode.
l
Solution 2: One BBU is configured with the GPS clock source (including the RGPS clock source) for time synchronization and shares the clock source with its interconnected BBUs.
Both of the preceding solutions apply to inter-BBU cell coordination in LTE FDD and LTE TDD systems.

Using MML Commands Step 1 Configure each BBU by following the procedure for configuring a single eNodeB using manmachine language (MML) commands. For details, see 3900 Series Base Station Initial Configuration Guide. Step 2 Configure each USU according to the "Configuration for a Single USU" section in USU3900 Initial Configuration Guide. Step 3 Run the SET EQUIPMENT command on each BBU and USU to specify ODI IDs. NOTE
The ODI IDs for each BBU and USU must be unique. You need to restart the BBU and USU to make the ODI IDs take effect.
Step 4 Run the SET CASCADEPORT commands on each BBU and USU to enable the ports required for interconnection. NOTE
The alarm generated on an interconnection port can be reported only after the port is enabled. If you do not need to use an interconnection port, do not enable it. To query the number of an interconnection port, run the LST CASCADEPORT command. The number of the CI port on the UMPT is 8, and the number of the HEI port on an LBBPd or a UBBPd is 6.
Step 5 Configure the clock source. NOTE
The clock synchronization requirements of inter-BBU cell coordination vary with the RAT. In the LTE FDD or TDD system, inter-BBU cell coordination requires phase synchronization between eNodeBs (that is, each eNodeB can obtain clock signals).
