1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
To keep abreast of rapidly advancing mobile communications technologies, mobile operators
are continually seeking partners who provide cutting-edge technologies to set up high-quality,
multimode-enabled, and future-oriented mobile networks efficiently and cost-effectively.
With this aim in mind, Huawei developed 3900 series base stations, which are designed based
on a high-performance platform and use an optimized hardware and software architecture.
These base stations can work in multiple modes due to their cutting-edge modular design.
They also have broad bandwidth and are eco-friendly and easily upgradeable.
Specifically, 3900 series base stations use the newly developed power amplifiers (PAs),
provide the temperature control function, and employ the innovated power saving technique.
In addition, by adopting the cutting-edge modular design, 3900 series base stations use
multimode modules with different appearances to meet requirements in various conditions.
Thanks to all these merits of 3900 series base stations, mobile operators can set up
high-quality, multimode-enabled, and future-oriented mobile networks and capital
expenditure (CAPEX) on site acquisition, capacity expansion, and environment protection can
be greatly reduced.
Different types of 3900 series base stations can be delivered on request because the newly
designed modules and auxiliary devices can be flexibly combined and configured.
Figure 1-1 shows the different types of 3900 series base stations.

1.2 NodeB Expansion

3 Sector to 4 Sector
Huawei NodeB product can support expansion by sector and carriers. If Expansion from 3
sector to 4 sector, only need to add one RF module and the software license. Its very easy to
deploy and maintenance.

1.2.2 BBU3900
As a baseband control unit, a BBU3900 provides the following functions:
Centrally manages the entire base station, including operation and maintenance,
signaling processing, and the system clock.
Processes uplink and downlink baseband signals.
Provides physical ports, which are used to connect the base station to the transport
network for information exchange; a maintenance channel, which is used to connect the
BBU3900 to the operation and maintenance center (OMC); CPRI ports for
communication with RF modules; and ports for communication with environment
monitoring devices.
shows the slot layout of a BBU3900.

NOTE

For more details about the BBU3900, see the BBU3900 Description.

1.2.3 RRU
As an RF component on a distributed base station, the RRU modulates and demodulates
baseband and RF signals, combines and divides baseband and RF signals, and processes data.
RRUs can be installed on a pole, wall, or stand. They can also be installed close to antennas to
shorten the feeder length, reduce feeder loss, and improve system coverage.
RRUs fall into the following three types:
Multimode modules: RRU3908, RRU3926,RRU3936, RRU3928, RRU3938, RRU3939,
RRU3929, RRU3942, RRU3961

The RRU3229, RRU3841, RRU3829, RRU3929, RRU3942, and RRU3961 are recommended
for use in APM30H (Ver.C)/APM30H (Ver.D) or TMC11H (Ver.C)/TMC11H (Ver.D) cabinets.
When the RRU3229, RRU3841, RRU3829, RRU3929, RRU3942, or RRU3961 is used in an
APM30H (Ver.B) or TMC11H (Ver.B) cabinet, some auxiliary devices must be reconstructed.
Other types of RRUs can be used in any cabinet type.
NOTE

The preceding figure shows an RRU3804 of an old version, an RRU3804 of a new version, an
RRU3806 of an old version, and an RRU3806 of a new version.
For the specifications and parameters of each type of RRU, see the description of the RRU in
question.
