Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

SingleRAN
2 Overview
Overview
With the Common Clock feature, all modes of a multimode base station share a clock source
and require only one set of clock equipment.
The Common Clock feature applies to GSM/UMTS, GSM/LTE, or UMTS/LTE dual-mode and
GSM/UMTS/LTE triple-mode base stations where the BBU Interconnection feature is applied.
The Common Clock feature helps reduce operating expense (OPEX) and capital expenditure
(CAPEX).
A multimode base station can be configured with the following common reference clocks:
l
GPS reference clock
Building integrated timing supply (BITS) reference clock
E1/T1 reference clock
IEEE 1588v2 reference clock
Synchronous Ethernet reference clock
1PPS+TOD reference clock
These reference clocks are described in the following chapters.

Application scenarios of the Common Clock feature include:
l
Separate-MPT scenario: Separate-MPT main controls boards are used in GSM, UMTS,
and LTE modes.
If all modes in a multimode base station are configured in the same BBU, all modes
exchange data by using the BBU backplane and share a clock source. If the modes of a
multimode base station are configured in two different BBUs, the BBU Interconnection
feature must be enabled.
The following restrictions apply to this scenario:
A multimode base station does not support the AUTO(Auto Handover) clock working
mode. Each mode in a multimode base station can be configured with only one clock
source.
A multimode base station can be configured with only one USCU board and the USCU
board can be configured with only one clock source.
If the LTE TDD or LTE FDD mode are used in a multimode base station, the shared
clock source must support and use time synchronization.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

SingleRAN
2 Overview
In the inter-subrack SDR scenario, it is not allowed to configure frequency

synchronization for the mode in the primary BBU and time synchronization for the
mode in the secondary BBU at the same time.
l
Co-MPT scenario: The GBTS/eGBTS, NodeB, and eNodeB share a UMPT board.
The UMPT board provides the clock source for each mode and supports the Common Clock
feature. The clock source provided by the UMPT board supports frequency synchronization
and time synchronization. If the LTE TDD mode is used, the clock source of the UMPT
board must support and use time synchronization.
NOTE
l The UMPT board can be configured for a single-mode base station. UMPT_G, UMPT_U, and
UMPT_L represent the UMPT board configured for GSM, UMTS, and LTE single-mode base stations,
respectively.
l The UMPT board can be configured for a dual-mode or triple-mode base station. UMPT_GU,
UMPT_GL, UMPT_UL, and UMPT_GUL represent the UMPT board configured for GSM/UMTS,
GSM/LTE, UMTS/LTE, and GSM/UMTS/LTE multimode base stations, respectively.
l In an LTE FDD and LTE TDD dual-mode base station, LTE FDD and LTE TDD support only coMPT.
Hybrid-MPT scenario: Separate-MPT and co-MPT scenarios coexist.

In this scenario, single-mode base stations are configured with separate-MPT main control
boards, and multimode base stations are configured with co-MPT main control boards.
The main control board shared by different modes supports the Common Clock feature.
The clock source provided by the main control board supports frequency
synchronization and time synchronization. If the LTE TDD mode is used, the clock
source of the co-MPT main control board must support and use time synchronization.
The modes that use separate-MPT main control boards and the modes that use co-MPT
main control boards share a clock source. The restrictions in this scenario are the same
as those in the separate-MPT scenario.
NOTE
To achieve BBU interconnection, you can connect one UCIU board and one UMPT board or connect
two UMPT boards. The two methods use the same configurations. In this document, BBU
interconnection is achieved by connecting one UCIU board and one UMPT board.

to the UCIU board. This UCIU board then sends the clock signals to the UMPT_U board
in the secondary BBU, which receives them through its BBU interconnection port.

6.1 Common IEEE 1588v2 Reference Clock in Separate-MPT

As shown in Figure 6-1, Figure 6-2, Figure 6-3, one main control board serving a mode is
connected to the transport network using an FE/GE port. The board is configured with an IEEE
1588v2 clock client to obtain clock signals from an IEEE 1588v2 clock server. The oscillator
in the board synchronizes clock signals with the IEEE 1588v2 clock server and transmits the
synchronized 1 pulse per second (PPS) clock signals to the other main control board serving
another mode. In this case, only one IEEE 1588v2 clock client is required. FE stands for fast
Ethernet and GE stands for gigabit Ethernet.
Only LTE TDD shares the IEEE 1588v2 reference clock to other modes, not vice versa. If other
modes share the IEEE 1588v2 reference clock to LTE TDD, the reference clock can use
frequency synchronization only. This is because LTE TDD supports only time synchronization.

IEEE 1588v2 clock client and receives IEEE 1588v2 clock packets containing clock signals
from an IEEE 1588v2 clock server through the transport network. Then, the LMPT board
generates synchronized 1 PPS clock signals and forwards them to the GTMU and UCIU
boards. Upon receiving the synchronized 1 PPS clock signals, the UCIU board sends them
to the UMPT board in the secondary BBU. Base stations of other modes in the primary
BBU obtain 1 PPS clock signals by using the BBU backplane.
As shown in Figure 6-7, the common IEEE 1588v2 reference clock is in the secondary
BBU of a GSM/UMTS/LTE triple-mode base station. The UMPT board is configured with
an IEEE 1588v2 clock client and receives IEEE 1588v2 clock packets containing clock
signals from an IEEE 1588v2 clock server through the transport network. Then, the UMPT
board generates synchronized 1 PPS clock signals and forwards them to the UCIU board
in the primary BBU, which in turn forwards them to the GTMU and WMPT boards.
Transmission port cabling on a multimode base station and the cabling of a common IEEE
1588v2 reference clock are independently deployed. Therefore, the operation of the multimode
base station is not affected.

7.1 Common Synchronous Ethernet Reference Clock in

Separate-MPT Multimode Base Stations
As shown in Figure 7-1, Figure 7-2, Figure 7-3, to implement a common synchronous Ethernet
reference clock, one mode of a dual-mode base station must connect to the transport network
over its FE/GE port and the IP network must support Ethernet clock synchronization. This
ensures that the other mode of the base station can receive synchronous Ethernet clock signals
by using the BBU backplane.

8 Other Common Reference Clocks
Other Common Reference Clocks
When the GSM, UMTS, and LTE modes share a UMTS board, besides common GPS, BITS,
E1/T1, IEEE 1588v2, and synchronous Ethernet reference clocks, the following common
reference clocks can be used:
l
Common 1PPS+TOD reference clock
Common IEEE 1588v2+SyncE reference clock
These two common reference clocks are used only when the GSM, UMTS, and LTE modes
share a UMPT board. This is because these two common reference clocks only support a single
mode in a separate-MPT multimode base station.

8.2 Common IEEE 1588v2+SyncE Reference Clock in CoMPT GSM/UMTS/LTE Triple-mode Base Stations
The IEEE 1588v2+SyncE clock source combines the IEEE 1588v2 clock and synchronous
Ethernet clock and supports only time synchronization. The clock source of the IEEE 1588v2
clock server must be the same as that of the synchronous Ethernet. As shown in Figure 8-2, the
UMPT board is configured with the IEEE 1588v2+SyncE clock source, which is shared by the
GSM, UMTS, and LTE modes. The clock source of the IEEE 1588v2 clock server and the

9 Engineering Guidelines
Engineering Guidelines
9.1 When to Use Common Clock

It is recommended that MRFD-211601 Multi-mode BS Common Reference Clock(GBTS/
eGBTS), MRFD-221601 Multi-mode BS Common Reference Clock(NodeB), or
MRFD-231601 Multi-mode BS Common Reference Clock (eNodeB) be enabled for a
multimode base station to reduce the OPEX and CAPEX.
9.2 Required Information

The information to be collected is as follows:
l
Whether the multimode base station using the LTE TDD mode is configured with a GPS
antenna
If the multimode base station is configured with a GPS antenna, it is recommended that all
modes of the base station share a GPS reference clock.
Transmission scheme used by the multimode base station that does not use the LTE TDD
mode
If at least one mode of the multimode base station uses E1/T1 transmission, use a
common E1/T1 reference clock.
If all modes of the multimode base station use FE/GE transmission, check whether
synchronous Ethernet is supported. If yes, use a common synchronous Ethernet
reference clock. If no, use a common IEEE 1588v2 reference clock.
9.3 Requirements
MRFD-211601 Multi-mode BS Common Reference Clock(GBTS/eGBTS), MRFD-221601
Multi-mode BS Common Reference Clock(NodeB), MRFD-231601 Multi-mode BS Common
Reference Clock(eNodeB), and MRFD-241601 Multi-mode BS Common Reference Clock(LTE
TDD) are under license control.
MRFD-231601 Multi-mode BS Common Reference Clock(eNodeB) and MRFD-241601 Multimode BS Common Reference Clock(LTE TDD) have license control items. The other two
features only have license sales items and do not have license control items.

The TDD eNodeB can only use the GPS reference clock provided by the GBTS/eGBTS
that uses time synchronization.
The TDD eNodeB can only use the GPS reference clock provided by the NodeB that uses
time synchronization.
The TDD eNodeB can only use the GPS reference clock provided by the co-MPT base
station that uses time synchronization.
If the LTE TDD mode is used in a multimode base station, a clock source that supports
time synchronization must be used, for example, GPS reference clock, IEEE 1588v2
reference clock, 1PPS+TOD reference clock, or IEEE 1588v2+SyncE reference clock. In
addition, the clock source must use time synchronization.
This feature applies only to GSM/UMTS/LTE triple-mode base stations.
If a BITS reference clock is used, a USCU board must be installed in the BBU.

9.6 Troubleshooting
If ALM-26276 Inter-System Site-Level Configuration Conflict is generated, a clock reference
type configuration conflict occurs. That is, the base station of the current mode does not support
this type of reference clock. If this occurs, you must check the configuration file and correct the
clock reference type.
