Product Description
1 DBS3900 LTE Overview
DBS3900 LTE Overview
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is an evolved telecom standard. It provides various technical
benefits to Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN), including:
Reduced service delay
Higher user data rates
Increased spectral efficiency
Optimized support for packet services
Improved system capacity and coverage
LTE has flexible bandwidths, enhanced modulation schemes, and effective scheduling. In
addition, LTE allows operators to use both original and new spectral resources to provide data
and voice services.
1.1 Positioning
Focusing on customer-oriented innovation, Huawei launches a series of LTE products in its
SingleBTS product portfolios, including the distributed E-UTRAN NodeB (eNodeB)
DBS3900 LTE. The DBS3900 LTE (referred to as DBS3900 in this document) fully utilizes
Huawei platform resources and uses a variety of technologies to meet the challenges of
mobile network development.
The eNodeB is used for radio access in the LTE system. The eNodeB mainly performs Radio
Resource Management (RRM) functions such as air interface management, access control,
mobility control, and User Equipment (UE) resource allocation. Multiple eNodeBs constitute
an E-UTRAN system.

1.2 Benefits
Advanced Base Station Platform, GSM and UMTS Co-Network, RAN Sharing,
and Smooth Evolution
As a SingleRAN solution, the DBS3900 enables smooth network evolution and reduces
the cost of LTE site deployment by sharing Huawei SingleBTS hardware platform and
equipment with other base stations, such as the DBS3900 GSM, DBS3900 WCDMA,
DBS3900 CDMA, or DBS3900 WiMAX.
The DBS3900 can share the network with GSM or UMTS base stations and support
handovers between LTE and the PS domain of the GERAN/UTRAN/CDMA2000. This
facilitates LTE network deployment in the existing GSM or UMTS network.
The DBS3900 supports RAN sharing. Different operators can share the RAN network,
reducing capital expenditure (CAPEX).
The BBU3900 is the baseband unit (BBU) of the DBS3900. The BBU3900 supports
multi-mode applications. Therefore, boards of different modes can be installed in one
BBU3900.
An RRU is a remote radio unit of the DBS3900. The BBU3900 and RRUs can be
flexibly configured on the basis of capacity and coverage requirements. Using the
approach of stack installation, capacity expansion can be easily achieved by means of
board/module stacking, rather than equipment replacement. Therefore, the cost of
hardware upgrade is significantly reduced.
Large Capacity, Extensive Coverage, and High Throughput
The DBS3900 provides large capacity. A single eNodeB supports a maximum of 3600
UEs in RRC_CONNECTED mode.
The DBS3900 provides extensive coverage. It can cover a maximum cell radius of 100
km when using functions such as multi-antenna RX diversity and uplink inter-cell
interference coordination (ICIC).
Issue 2.4 (2011-11-17)

eRAN2.1 DBS3900 LTE

Product Description
The DBS3900 provides high throughput. It can provide a maximum throughput of 450
Mbit/s in the downlink and 300 Mbit/s in the uplink when using functions such as
64QAM, uplink and downlink multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), and ICIC.
Enhanced SON Function
Automatic configuration
The DBS3900 can automatically obtain connection parameters, download software,
configure data, conduct tests, and upload information. This facilitates preparation for
data configuration, reduces manual handling during site deployment, and minimizes
operational expenditure (OPEX).
Automatic Neighbor Relation (ANR)

The DBS3900 can automatically maintain the integrity and validity of the neighboring
cell list by automatically detecting missing neighboring cells and evaluating neighboring
cell relationships. This increases handover success rates and reduces the cost of network
planning and optimization.
Automatic detection of Physical Cell Identifier (PCI) conflicts, sleeping cells, and
antenna faults
PCI conflicts, sleeping cells, and antenna faults are automatically detected and reported,
reducing the workload of manual identification of network faults.
Comprehensive IP Transport
Various transmission ports are provided, such as FE/GE electrical ports, FE/GE optical
ports, and E1/T1 ports.
Internet Protocol (IP) transport is supported. In addition, diversified network topologies

are supported, such as star, chain, and tree topologies.
Multiple Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms are applied to provide high capacity,
implement differentiated services, and meet the QoS requirements of services.
Easy Installation and Low CAPEX

The DBS3900 is compact, light, and easy to transport, and it also supports distributed
installation, reducing large scale construction engineering and saving the CAPEX.
The BBU3900 can be installed on an indoor wall or in a standard cabinet. This reduces the
installation investment. The RRU can be mounted onto a pole, tower, or concrete wall.
Flexible installation locations and low space requirements reduce site lease costs. The RRU
can be installed close to the antenna system to reduce the cost of feeders and power
consumption.

3 Usage Scenarios
Usage Scenarios
3.1 Overview
With continuous capacity expansion of the mobile network, site selection for the base station
has turned into a bottleneck during network deployment. Site selection becomes increasingly
complex to implement and requires additional investment in network deployment.
The DBS3900 is characterized by its small footprint, easy installation, and low-power
consumption. Therefore, the DBS3900 can be easily installed in a spare space at an existing
site. Each RRU is also compact and light. It can be installed close to an antenna to reduce
feeder loss and to improve system coverage. With these characteristics, the DBS3900 fully
addresses operators' concern over site acquisition and reduces network deployment time.
Therefore, the DBS3900 enables operators to efficiently deploy a high-performance LTE
network with a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by minimizing the investment in
electricity, space, and manpower.
The DBS3900 has flexible applications to meet the requirement of fast network deployment in
different scenarios.
