Mode Transition Guide

1 Overview

Overview

1.1 About This Document


This document provides mode transition guidance for a base station. It mainly describes
operations during the mode transition to guide site engineers to plan and implement mode
transmission. Some operations involved in this document, such as software upgrade, data
configuration by using the Configuration Management Express (CME), and engineering
quality check, are not detailed here because they have been described in the procedures of
new site deployment and routine maintenance. Instead, this document only provides reference
information for these operations.

1.2 Prerequisites
None.

Operation

Preparation

Planning mode transition

1. Make a data plan before


and after transition on
power consumption after
mode transition, type and
number of each board,
cable connections,
transmission scheme,
CPRI topology, and
reference clock.
2. Use the cabling tool on
the CME to analyze the
radio frequency (RF)
modules, slots, and CPRI
connections.
3. Prepare hardware.
4. Prepare software and
license files.
5. Use the CME to make a
data configuration file
required after mode
transition.

Implementation

Upgrading software

Skip this step if the base


station uses the software of
the target version.

Recording related
information

Record the active alarms,


cell status, service KPIs for
comparison before and after
mode transition.

Configuring data for coMPT reconstruction

An optional operation. In the


transition from a singlemode base station to a coMPT multimode base
station, co-MPT
reconstruction must be
firstly performed.
Use the CME to perform
data conversion for co-MPT
reconstruction according to
the data plan.

Commissioning base
stations

For the mode that has not


been deployed before the
mode transition, you are
advised to commission a
new mode as a newly
deployed base station
because the commissioning
methods are the same.
For the mode that has been
deployed before the mode
transition, commission the
mode in either of the
following ways:

Outputting engineering
reports

Checking engineering
quality and conduct a
dialing test if no major
changes are made to the
main control board and
transmission scheme.

Commissioning the mode


as a newly deployed base
station if major changes
are made to the main
control board or
transmission scheme

Summarize the reparenting


and make engineering
reports.

The NEP-SD tool can be used to analyze mode transition planning and design and prepare
configuration data. For details, see NEP-SD-Based Wireless Base Station Design Guidelines.

3 Planning Mode Transition

Planning Mode Transition

This section describes the mode transition planning in terms of the radio frequency (RF),
antenna and feeder networking, co-MPT or separate-MPT, BBU interconnection, clock,
baseband, CPRI-based topologies, transmission, and equipment auxiliary.

3.1 Introduction
The base station system mainly consists of subsystems and other items shown in the following
figure: antennas, radio frequency (RF), CPRI cables, and others.
The following sections will cover planning operations for all these items and mode transition
requirements for the material, version, and others.

The following figure describes the constraints of these subsystems and other items on each
other.

3 Planning Mode Transition

The overall process of RF module planning is as follows:

Check whether to add a new frequency band or perform refarming.

This is determined based on the network planning.

Check whether the original multiband module supports the new frequency band.

This is determined based on the module type and specifications.


You can determine whether the module supports the required new frequency band based on
the value of Frequency band in the RF module sheet in SingleRAN Multi-mode BTS Product
Specification.

Check whether the original multiband module supports the specifications after mode
transition.

This is determined based on the following items that have been planned by the customer:
mode, number of TRXs, power, TRX frequency, and numbers of RX and TX channels.
For details, see the RF module and RF Configuration & Output power sheets in
SingleRAN Multi-mode BTS Product Specification.

Check whether the original multiband module supports the specifications after
refarming.

This is determined based on the following items that have been planned by the customer:
mode, number of TRXs, power, TRX frequency, and numbers of RX and TX channels.
For details, see the RF module and RF Configuration & Output power sheets in
SingleRAN Multi-mode BTS Product Specification.

License requirement

To support the new mode, the hardware license of this mode must be purchased for the new
RF module, such as the power license and TRX license. The way of purchasing such a license
is the same as that for a single-mode RF module, and therefore details are not described here.
For a multiband RF module (except the RRU3961), one multimode multiband license is
required for each frequency band of each mode (GSM, UMTS, or LTE).

mode resets RRUs, interrupting services for one


minute.

3.2.5 Adding a Module to the Original SDR Module


1. Module selection
The following items shall be taken into consideration for selecting an RF module:
Mode, frequency band, number of TRXs, power, TRX frequencies, and numbers of RX and
TX channels that have been planned by the customer.
For details about the selection, see GUL Base Station Overview and Selection Guide.
Note:

RF modules of the same type are preferred for capacity expansion in the same cell.

If the original module is end of marketing (EOM) or cannot meet capacity requirements
after mode transition, modules of different types can be configured together. For details,
see GUL RF Module Mixed Configuration Guide.

2. Precautions

Pay attention to the mapping relationship between the added module and cabinet:
The maximum transmit power of an RFU varies by RFU model. Greater RFU's transmit
power indicates higher requirements for power distribution and heat dissipation of the
cabinet. Therefore, RFUs of small power can work with all cabinets while RFUs of large
power can work only with Ver.C cabinets, Ver.D cabinets (or the ones has equivalent
capabilities after upgrade), and the BTS3900AL (Ver.A) cabinets.

Pay attention to requirements for power supply or power distribution.

Hardware license of the single-mode RF module working in the original mode:


If the original module is a non-blade or non-AAS module, replace it with a blade or AAS
module. In such a case, the related hardware license of the single-mode RF module must be
purchased. The way of purchasing such a license is the same as that for a single-mode RF
module, and therefore details are not described here.
Hardware license of the single-mode RF module working in the new mode:
To support the new mode, the hardware license of this mode must be purchased for the new
RF module, such as the power license and TRX license. The way of purchasing such a license
is the same as that for a single-mode RF module, and therefore details are not described here.
Multimode RF license
For a multiband RF module (except the RRU3961), one multimode multiband license is
required for each frequency band of each mode (GSM, UMTS, or LTE).

Data configuration requirement

Original mode:

The original RF module's working mode must be adjusted.

TRX configuration of the original mode may be changed, such as a decrease in the TRX
number due to refarming and changes in RF channels of TRXs).

New mode:
Data configuration is the same as that for adding an RF module. Note that the working mode
of the RF module must be correctly configured.
You can use the GUI, summary data file, or MML commands to configure the data.
For details, see section "Data Preparation" in "Engineering Guidelines (Multimode Base
Station)" of RF Unit and Topology Management Feature Parameter Description.
Pay attention to the following during data configuration:
- Determine the CPRI-based topology according to topology types supported by an RF
module in multimode scenarios.
- Configure the working mode of an RF unit according to the live network deployment.
Determine the parameters and their values to be configured according to the guide and specify
them in the following table. The following table provides the major eGBTS/UMTS/LTE
parameters and their value examples. The BTSTRXBRD MOC is for the GBTS.

Impact on Services of the Original

Replacing the RRU

Services carried by the original RFU or RRU


will be affected when it is being replaced. The
interruption period varies by installation period.
If there is an extra slot for installing the new
RRU, you can pre-install the RRU and then
adjust the antenna & feeder and CPRI cables.
This can reduce the service interruption period
to a few minutes.

Figure 1.1 Overall antenna and feeder planning process

Check whether the original antenna supports the new frequency band.

In this step, obtain the antenna model so that you can find the datasheet of the original
antenna.

Check whether to replace the original antenna or add a new antenna.

This is determined based on customer's plan.


If you need to add a new antenna, pay attention to its installation position.
If replacement of the original antenna is required, be aware of the impact when compared
with the original mode. For example, difference between the benefits of the original and
replacement antennas may affect network performance.

3 Planning Mode Transition

Check whether the new and original frequency bands share the same antenna port.

In this step, obtain the antenna model so that you can find the datasheet of the original
antenna.
The datasheet indicates whether the original antenna port supports the broadband antenna. If
the broadband antenna is supported, the new and original frequency bands can share the same
antenna port.
Note that if the original and new RF modules work on independent frequency bands, an
external inter-band combiner must be added for combing the original and new frequency
bands so that the two RF modules can share the same antenna port.
Generally, broadband antennas share the same port, and therefore two frequency bands on
these antennas do not support independent remote electrical tilt (RET).

Figure 1.3 Scenario with TMA+RET

In this scenario of mode transition, an RF module working on the new frequency band uses an
independent set of antenna and feeder. In such a case, you can use an independent antenna or
reuse the original multiband multi-port antenna. In addition, customers may replace the
original antenna with a multiband multi-port antenna due to constraints on site conditions.
This scenario has the following characteristics:

Independent antenna (antenna port)

Independent feeder or jumper

If an RET antenna is used, independent RET and electrical tilt configuration are
supported.

If an independent antenna is used, you can independently set the mechanical tilt.

2. Precautions

In scenarios of adding an RET or TMA, check the model, and hardware and software
versions of RET or TMA for compatibility. For details, contact Global Technical
Assistance Center (GTAC) or Technical Management Office (TMO) teams. A list of RET
or TMA models that have passed the interoperability test (IOT) compatibility test is
available. If the RET or TMA to be added is not included in the list, relevant tests by
R&D or field engineers are recommended.

Pay attention to frequency bands supported by the TMA, especially the reused TMA.

receive mode for the GBTS, and TxBranch/RxBranch/RFCONNGRP information about the
RF module for the eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, and co-MPT base station.
- If RET is required, configure the ALD power supply switch for the RRU or RFU and related
alarm threshold parameters. ALD is short for antenna line device. In addition, configure RET
for the RET antenna, download the RET configuration file, calibrate the RET antenna, and set
tilt angels.

Figure 1.3 Shared feeder, independent antenna port, and TMA&RET

Note that parts highlighted with blue are new components in the preceding figures.
In this scenario of mode transition, the RF module working on the new frequency band uses
an independent antenna but shares the original feeder due to installation constraints. In such a
case, you can use an independent antenna or reuse the original multiband multi-port antenna.
In addition, customers may replace the original antenna with a multiband multi-port antenna
due to constraints on site conditions.
A combiner must be added because multiple modes (frequency bands) share the feeder. The
combiner brings about insertion loss, which slightly affects the performance of the original

mode (frequency band). The insertion loss of an inter-band combiner is 0.X dB. For details,
see the relevant combiner datasheet.
This scenario has the following characteristics:

Independent antenna (antenna port)

No new feeder

If an RET antenna is used, independent RET and electrical tilt configuration are
supported.

If an independent antenna is used, you can independently set the mechanical tilt.

2. Precautions
In scenarios of adding an RET or TMA, check the model, and hardware and software versions
of RET or TMA for compatibility. For details, contact GTAC or TMO teams. A list of RET or
TMA models that have passed the IOT compatibility test is available. If the RET or TMA to
be added is not included in the list, relevant tests by R&D or field engineers are
recommended.
Pay attention to frequency bands supported by the TMA, especially the reused TMA.
When a combiner is used, pay attention to the design of the RET and TMA, and combiner's
capability of supporting DC power and OOK signals.
Determine connections between components in the antenna and feeder subsystem.

Figure 1.1 Broadband antenna

Note that parts highlighted with blue are new components in the preceding figures.
In this scenario of mode transition, a new frequency band of new mode shares the broadband
antenna with one or more frequency bands of the original mode. In such a case, an external
combiner combines signals transmitted on multiple frequency bands.
This scenario has the following characteristics:

Broadband antenna, multimode and multiband shared antenna port

No new feeder

All modes share the same antenna or antenna port and independent RET is not supported.

2. Precautions
1) The combiner model is determined by frequency bands where signals are to be combined.
2) If the RF module is a broadband module providing the same output port for multiple bands
(for example, RRU3961), no external combiner is required.

coupled.

Tight coupling: cotransmission, common

Shared resources

Natural sharing: NMS,


transmission, clock, CPRI,
and baseband resources can
be shared.

Sharing is implemented
through the following
features: co-transmission,
common reference clock,
and CPRI MUX. Baseband
resources cannot be shared
between modes.

Low-cost smooth mode


transition

New mode is deployed in


the same way as the feature
is enabled.

An OM channel must be
enabled for the new mode
and new baseband resources
must be deployed.

UBBP co-baseband

Co-baseband is supported
by UBBP or UMDU boards.

Co-baseband is not
supported by UBBP boards.

Version upgrade

All-at-once upgrade

All-at-once upgrade. Modeby-mode upgrade must be


customized.

O&M experience

Consistent GUL O&M


experience reduces the
learning cost.

O&M experience varies


according to each mode of
GUL.

Note that the BBU3910A supports only co-MPT mode transition but not separate-MPT mode
transition.

Whether Co-MPT or separate-MPT is used depends on whether the new main control board
works in a new mode independently. If multiple modes are added, you need to perform the
operations in the preceding process for each mode. For example, in mode transition from
GSM to G&[U*L], if UMTS is the first mode to be added, UMTS will be deployed on a new
main control board. In this case, separate-MPT is used for mode transition to UMTS but the
NodeB is a co-MPT base station. In addition, if LTE is the second mode to be added, LTE is
deployed on the UMTS main control board. In this case, co-MPT is used for mode transition.

Whether co-MPT reconstruction is required


If the original base station is not a co-MPT base station, co-MPT reconstruction is
required. The following scenarios are included:
1. If the original base station is a separate-MPT base station, deploy all modes on one
main control board to implement co-MPT reconstruction.
2. If the original base station is a single-mode or separate-MPT base station, add a new
mode to an original mode to implement co-MPT reconstruction.

3.4.2 Adding a Main Control Board of the New Mode


to the Original BBU
1. Scenario description and application scope

The BBU3900 or BBU3910 supports a maximum of two main control boards. When separateMPT is used, the BBU3900 and BBU3910 support mode transition from a single mode to
dual-mode, for example, transition from GSM to GU or GL, or from UMTS to UL.
This scenario is applicable to the mode transition from single-mode to dual-mode. The
following two applications are supported:

Independent RF module working in the new mode (separate-MPT and co-cabinet)

SDR RF module working in both the original mode and the new mode (separate-MPT
and common mode)

The BBU3910A does not support mode transition when separate-MPT is used and therefore
does not support this scenario.
For details about how to select main control boards, see GUL Base Station Overview and
Selection Guide.

Mode Transition Guide

3 Planning Mode Transition

1) In separate-MPT (excluding the hybrid-MPT) scenarios, a single BBU supports a


maximum of two modes, and the main control boards cannot work in active/standby mode.
2) Constraints on BBU power supply and heat dissipation systems affect configurations after
mode transition. You can use the program comprehension tool (PCT)to obtain the
specifications of power supply and heat dissipation for the BBU after mode transition. If
necessary, you need to replace the BBU or the UPEU, or expand the UPEU's capacity
expansion. All these operations interrupt services of the original mode.
3) Pay attention to the impact of BBU capacity expansion on cabinet power support and heat
dissipation. For details, see section "Equipment Auxiliary Planning" in this document.
4) The BBU3910 supports only new types of main control boards such as the GTMUb,
GTMUc, and UMPT.

Version requirement

For the mapping relationship between the baseband processing boards and versions, see 3900
Series Base Station Software and Hardware Compatibility Description.

License requirement

No specific license control item is available for the main control board working in a separateMPT multimode base station.
Therefore, a license related to the new mode can be applied for in the same way as that for the
license of each involved mode.
UMPT multimode licenses must be applied for only when the UMPT or UMDU work in co-MPT and
multimode concurrency is applied. If the UMPT/UMDU works only in one mode, there is no need to
apply for such licenses. The UMPT multimode licenses include UMPT Multi Mode license(GSM),
UMPT Multi Mode license(UMTS), UMPT Multi Mode license(LTE FDD), and UMPT Multi Mode
license(LTE TDD).

Data configuration requirement

There is no special data configuration for the newly added main control board working in a
separate-MPT multimode base station. Note that if a multimode feature is required, refer to
the related feature descriptions, such as descriptions about the RF module and common
reference.
For configuration of common resources in a multimode base station, pay attention to the
following items:
- Configure equipment data (such as the power supply, fan, and environment monitoring
board) only for one mode. It is recommended that the equipment data be configured on the
original mode so that no data migration is involved.
In separate-MPT, you are not advised to configure data of mechanical and electrical parts for multiple
modes together because data consistency issues may occur.

- The number of all common resources at the entire site shall be unique. For example, two
non-SDR RF modules working in two different modes cannot have the same cabinet No.,
subrack No., or slot No. The same cabinet No., subrack No., or slot No. must be configured
for SDR RF modules working in two different modes.
For details about data configurations, see the following:

3.4.3 Adding a new BBU and a Main Control Board of


the New Mode
1. Scenario description and application scope

A maximum of two main control boards can be configured in a BBU3900 or BBU3910.


Therefore, adding a BBU and a mode applies to mode transmission from dual modes to triple
modes. The related typical scenarios are mode transmission from G&U to G&U+L or G&L to
G&L+U.
The BBU3910A does not support mode transition when separate-MPT is used and therefore
does not support this scenario.
For details about how to select BBUs and main control boards, see the following references:
Selection of BBUs: GUL Base Station Overview and Selection Guide
Selection of main control boards: GUL Base Station Overview and Selection Guide
2. Precautions
1) BBUs must be interconnected for mode transition where a new BBU is added and the two
BBUs work in multiple modes. For details, see BBU Interconnection Feature Parameter
Description.
2) The GTMU must be deployed in the primary BBU subrack.
3) A BBU3900/BBU3910 cannot be interconnected with a BBU3910A. Therefore, mode
addition cannot be performed between BBU3900/BBU3910 and BBU3910A.

UMPT Multi Mode license(UMTS), UMPT Multi Mode license(LTE FDD), and UMPT Multi Mode
license(LTE TDD).

Data configuration requirement

There is no special data configuration for the newly added main control board working in a
separate-MPT multimode base station. Note that if a multimode feature is required, refer to
the related feature descriptions, such as descriptions about the RF module and common
reference.
For configuration of common resources in a multimode base station, pay attention to the
following items:
- Configure equipment data (such as the power supply, fan, and environment monitoring
board) only for one mode. It is recommended that the equipment data be configured on the
original mode so that no data migration is involved. When two BBUs are used, all the
equipment is connected to the primary BBU subrack and such equipment data is configured in
one mode of the primary BBU subrack.
- The number of all common resources at the entire site shall be unique. For example, two
non-SDR RF modules working in two different modes cannot have the same cabinet No.,
subrack No., or slot No. The same cabinet No., subrack No., or slot No. must be configured
for SDR RF modules working in two different modes.
- BBU interconnection data must be configured when two BBUs are used. For details, see
section BBU Interconnection Feature Parameter Description in this document.
You can use the GUI, summary data file, or MML commands to configure the data.
For details, see 3900 Series Base Station Initial Configuration Guide. The related descriptions
can be obtained by choosing Creating Base Stations > Creating Separate-MPT Multimode
Base Stations.
Resources required for each mode are managed by a "brain." Environment alarms and fans are
managed by the mode specified manually. That is, you can configure parameters related to the
environment, alarm, and fan only for one mode.

3 Planning Mode Transition

The configuration data of the new mode must be complete, including RAT data, RF data,
transmission data, and sector data.
For mode transition from FDD only or TDD only to FDD and TDD concurrency, MOs such
as Application, Function, and X2/S1 do not need to be configured during configuration
(unless required by customers), and the operations are similar to adding an inter-frequency
cell in the same mode. For example, if the original base station has only TDD cells working
on the 2.3 GHz frequency band, add TDD cells working on the 2.6 GHz frequency band. For
details, see the related description in 3900 Series Base Station Initial Configuration Guide >

3.4.5 Co-MPT Reconstruction and Adding a New


Mode to the Co-MPT Base Station
1. Scenario description and application scope
If the original base station is a separate-MPT or single-mode base station, firstly perform the
co-MPT reconstruction, and add the new mode.
For scenarios where co-MPT reconstruction is supported, see Co-MPT Reconstruction
Scenarios.
Main control board selection
Only the UMPT series boards support the co-MPT mode. If the main control board does not
support co-MPT, replace the main control board. For example, the UMPTa6 does not support
co-MPT. For the specifications of UMPT boards, see BBU Hardware Description >
BBU3900 and BBU3910 Hardware Description > BBU3900 and BBU3910 Boards >
UMPT in 3900 Series Base Station Product Documentation.
2. Precautions
1) If the original base station is a GBTS, reconstruct the GBTS into an eGBTS by abandoning
the GTMU or using GTMU evolution.

Issue 01 (2015-12-30)

If the GTMU is to be abandoned, CPRI ports on the UBBP or a newly added UBRI can
be used for the GSM mode. The main control and transmission function can be
implemented on the UMPT board (the UMPT does not support TDM transmission).

3900 Series Multimode Base Station


Mode Transition Guide

3 Planning Mode Transition

In GTMU evolution scenarios, CPRI ports remain on the GTMU. If the transmission
mode is IP over E1, the transmission ports remain on the GTMU. If the transmission
mode is IP over GE/FE, the transmission ports must be provided by the UMPT.

If the GBTS uses TDM transmission before the reconstruction, first change TDM
transmission into IP transmission and then perform a GBTS-to-eGBTS reconstruction.
2) The mode to be added after the co-MPT reconstruction must be of the same version as the
existing mode.

Mode Transition Guide

3 Planning Mode Transition

Perform co-MPT reconstruction for the original mode and expand the capacity for the new
mode after the co-MPT reconstruction is finished.
The configuration data must be modified when the co-MPT reconstruction is performed.
New mode:
The configuration data of the new mode must be complete, including RAT data, RF data,
transmission data, and sector data.
For mode transition from FDD only or TDD only to FDD and TDD concurrency, MOs such
as Application, Function, and X2/S1 do not need to be configured during configuration
(unless required by customers), and the operations are similar to adding an inter-frequency
cell in the same mode. For example, if the original base station has only TDD cells working
on the 2.3 GHz frequency band, add TDD cells working on the 2.6 GHz frequency band. For
details, see the related description in 3900 Series Base Station Initial Configuration Guide >
Cell Data Reconfigurations.

1. Filling in the data planning tables for co-MPT reconstruction

For the BSC redundancy scenario, two data planning tables need to be filled out. One is
for the primary BSC and the other for the secondary BSC.

The BBU3910A only supports the co-MPT reconstruction in UMTS only or LTE only
scenario. Therefore, you only need to fill in the ConvertFlag, NodeBName, or
eNodeBName field in the SitePlanning page.

(1) Filling in the GlobalPlanning page


Enter information for all co-MPT scenarios on this page.

Issue 01 (2015-12-30)

Fill in the following fields when GSM mode is involved:


a.

BscSctpIdBase must be configured, making different base stations controlled by


one base station controller use different values.

b.

BtsSctpPortBase and BtsTrxPerSctp use the planned values. In the BSC node
redundancy scenario, BtsSctpPortBase and BtsTrxPerSctp must be set to the same
value in the data planning tables of the primary BSC and secondary BSC.

c.

BtsOMCHPeerIP: Enter the IP address of the U2000. This field is mandatory for
GO reconstruction and batch reconstruction scenarios.

d.

BtsOMCHPeerIPMask: Enter the IP mask of the U2000. This field is mandatory


for GO reconstruction and batch reconstruction scenarios.

e.

WORKMODE: Enter T1, E1_BA, or E1_UNBA according to the actual


transmission mode used by the GBTS. T1 means T1 transmission; E1_BA means
120 ohm impedance; E1_UNBA means 75 ohm impedance.

f.

ActBTSSoftwareVersion: If the GTMU is evolved into a board providing only


CPRI ports, enter the version of the GTMU evolution software. The GTMU
abandoning scenario is not involved.

g.

BSCNodeRedundancyBSCName: For the BSC redundancy scenario, fill in this


field in two data planning tables. In the table for the primary BSC, enter the primary
BSC's name. In the table for the secondary BSC, enter the secondary BSC's name.
In non-BSC-redundancy scenario, leave this field blank.

h.

ActGTMUSoftwareVersion: This field is used in the GTMU SingleOM


reconstruction scenario. Enter the version of the GTMU SingleOM reconstruction
package. The version of the GTMUb SingleOM reconstruction software is a special
V900 version, for example, BTS3900V900R011C00.

Fill in the following field when an MBTS is involved:


SRANBaselineRAT: Leave this field unspecified for a single mode base station. This
field is optional for an MBTS. If this field is left unspecified for an MBTS, data is
configured based on the more recent mode. Fill this field with SingleRAN in hybridMPT reconstruction scenarios. For example, enter U for the GU co-MPT reconstruction
scenario, L for the GL co-MPT reconstruction scenario, and U or L for the UL co-MPT
reconstruction scenario. For the GU+L/GL+U BBU interconnection co-MPT
reconstruction scenario, enter the non-GSM RAT in the primary BBU. For the con-MPT
reconstruction scenarios where two BBUs are combined into one, enter the mode that the
OMCH channel is used for transmission after the co-MPT construction.

The UMTS only or LTE only reconstruction scenario is not involved in this page.

(2) Filling in the SitePlanning page

If multiple base stations are reconstructed, the planning data of each base station must be
filled. Each row corresponds to a base station. Do not leave any blank row between two filled
rows. Otherwise, the data cannot be converted.
To reduce the GSM service interruption duration, load the GTMUb conversion software
before the GU/GL/GU+L/GL+U co-MPT reconstruction. In this scenario, you are advised to
perform reconstruction for ten sites at a time. The BSC script is executed in serial. If too many
sites are reconstructed in a batch, execution of the script may not be finished within the
required duration (8 to 12 minutes) of service interruption.
If GSM base stations are cascaded using IPoE1, it is recommended that the cascaded BTSs be
reconstructed in a batch. In the GO co-MPT reconstruction scenario, you are advised to
reconstruct all the cascaded base stations at the same time, which will reduce service
interruption duration. For the co-MPT reconstruction for GU, GL, and GUL base stations,
when activating the GTMU conversion software, you are advised to activate the base stations
from the lowest cascading level to the first level. When starting a PnP task, execute the
Download BSC Configuration Data command only on the base stations of the first
cascading level.

ConvertFlag: "Yes" indicates that the configuration data for the site corresponding to
this row needs to be converted.

BtsName, NodeBName, eNodeBName, or SRANNameBfConvert: name of the base


station to be reconstructed, mandatory. SRANNameBfConvert indicates the name of the
co-MPT base station before reconstruction.

SRANName: name of the co-MPT base station after reconstruction. It must be different
from the base station name before reconstruction. If it is left blank, a name of the base
station with the reference mode will be created automatically. The name that is
automatically created uses the NE name of the reference mode specified by the
SRANBaselineRAT field. If SRANBaselineRAT is left unspecified, the NE name of a
more recent mode is used. SRANBaselineRAT must be set to SingleRAN for a hybridMPT base station. If SRANName is unspecified for the hybrid-MPT base station, the
value of SRANNameBfConvert is used.

OMCHLocalIP and OMCHLocalIPMask: Local IP address and mask of the OM


channel used by the eGBTS after reconstruction. It is used only for GO reconstruction
scenarios. The parameters are optional. If this parameter is not specified, the BTS IP and
mask of the original GBTS are automatically generated.

NextHop: mandatory when the GBTS uses IPoFE. Enter the next-hop IP address of the
Ethernet interface of the GBTS. (When GSM uses Ethernet transmission, this parameter
must be specified to ensure that a correct route is generated on the GSM side. When the
Abis interface uses layer-2 networking mode, the IP address of the BTS gateway is the
interface IP address of board where the BSC IP address is located. When non-cotransmission or co-transmission based on panel interconnection is used, enter the nexthop IP address on the GSM side and the IP address must be on the same network
segment as the IP address of the Ethernet port type of the BTSDEVIP, and the IP address
cannot be the same as BTSDEVIP. When co-transmission through backplane
interconnection is used, enter the next-hop IP address of the board that provides
transmission, and it must be in the same network segment as the DEVIP of the board but
cannot be the same as the DEVIP.)

IPHCSUBOPT: Fill in this field according to the actual situation (When the base station
directly connects to the base station controller using IP over E1 or connects to the upperlevel base station, set it to DISABLE. When the base station connects to a router using IP
over E1, set it to ENABLE).

IPoE1OMIP: Enter the original BTSIP or an IP address in the same network segment as
the IP address of the original PPP/MP port. When GSM mode uses transmission of
IP_OVER_FE/GE_AND_E1(E1 backup), this parameter is mandatory.

ClkSrc: used for base station clock data conversion. The default value NULL indicates
that the clock synchronization is performed in the default order of priority as follows:
GPS > IPCLK > SYNCETH > LINECLK > TOD > BITS > SYNCETH+IPCLK. For a
hybrid clock reference source, you are advised to run the SET CLKMODE command to
manually configure it.

GTMU Abandoned, UMPTSlot, and GTMU CPRI Move TemplateName: For the
GTMU abandoning scenario, the parameters must be filled. They specify the slot that
holds the main control board where the GSM mode is deployed and the CPRI adjustment
mode of the abandoned GTMU. The CPRI adjustment method of the abandoned GTMU
depends on the information that is filled in the MultiCpriChainMoveTemplate sheet.

RetainPeerMPT: Specifies whether a UMPT working in non-baseline mode continues


to be used.
If a UMPT working in non-baseline RAT continues to be used, set it to Yes. In this case,
the RAT of the board will be changed and the board will be degraded to a secondary or
standby board. (In this case, if the main control board working in non-baseline RAT is
not detected or powered on, the reconstruction fails.)

If a UMPT working in non-baseline RAT will not be used any longer, set it to No. In this
case, the peer main control processing unit will be degraded to a slave or standby board
using an MML command manually rather than during the reconstruction or the board can
be relocated to be used in other places.
If the peer main control processing unit is a GTMU/WMPT/LMPT, this field does not
affect the reconstruction process.

MultiBBUCombFlag and MultiBBUCombTemplateName


If two BBUs that are combined into one BBU through co-MPT reconstruction, this field
is mandatory. It is used to plan the mode in which two BBUs are combined into one
BBU. The adjustment mode must be entered in the MultiBBUCombTemplate sheet.

MPTType
Main control board type after the co-MPT reconstruction, mandatory The default value is
UMPT if the parameter is not filled out.
In the GTMU SingleOM scenario, the field must be filled with GTMUb or GTMUc. The
fields used in the GTMU abandoning scenario must not be selected. The field and the
fields involved in the GTMU abandoning scenario are mutually exclusive.

UmptBrdspec
Hardware type of the UMPT after the reconstruction, optional The default value is
UMPTa or UMPTb if the parameter is not filled out.
If the main control board for a co-MPT base station is the UMPTe in reconstruction
scenarios, fill this field with UMPTe.

The UMPTa/b and UMPTe with the same specifications have the same model but different
capabilities. The configured specifications after reconstruction may exceed the board
capability. Therefore, the configuration cannot take effect even though succeeds. It is
recommended that the configured specifications be checked to determine whether they have
exceeded the actual board capability. If they have exceeded the actual board capability, the
extra specifications cannot take effect. For details, see the notes for the following MML
commands in the MML reference of 3900 Series Base Station MML reference:

Mode Transition Guide

3 Planning Mode Transition

UmptBrdspec indicates the type of a UMPT after reconstruction and its default
value is UMPTa or UMPTb. Fill this field according to the actual situation.
Otherwise, the configurations cannot take effect after reconstruction because the
UMPTa/b and UMPTe support different cell specifications.

If the base station before reconstruction uses E1/T1 transmission (including E1/T1
over IP or E1/T1 over ATM), the UMPTe cannot serve as the main control board for
the co-MPT base station after reconstruction because the UMPTe does not support
E1/T1 transmission.

If the UMPTe serves as the main control board for the co-MPT base station after
reconstruction, the main control boards (including WMPT and LMPT) before
reconstruction are abandoned and removed from the subrack, and the main control
board (UMPTa/b) before reconstruction is retained and serves as the signaling
extension board for the UMPTe.

LmptEthPort0Attribute and LmptEthPort1Attribute


The two fields must be set if the main control board is reconstructed from an LMPT to a
UMPTe.
The two fields indicate the optical/electrical attributes of the Ethernet ports 0 and 1 on
the LMPT. If the two fields are not filled out, NULL is used by default. If Ethernet ports
0 and 1 on the LMPT are used and the optical/electrical attributes are not configured or
being set to AUTO, the two fields must be filled out.

The system converts the data configurations according to the following principles and
the actual transmission must also be deployed as follows:
LMPT electrical port 0 is converted to UMPTe electrical port 0.
LMPT electrical port 1 is converted to UMPTe electrical port 2.
LMPT optical port 0 is converted to UMPTe optical port 1.
LMPT optical port 1 is converted to UMPTe optical port 3.

OnlyConvertBaselineTranFlag
From SRAN10.1 onwards, the transport data of only the reference mode is incorporated
into the co-MPT base station during co-MPT data conversion. Fill this field with Yes.
Its default value is No, indicating that transport data of both reference and non-reference
modes is incorporated.
If OnlyConvertBaselineTranFlag on the SitePlanning page is set to Yes, the transport data of only the
reference mode is incorporated into the co-MPT base station and that of the non-reference mode must be
manually entered according to the actual situation. For the method of manual configuration, see 3900
Series Base Station Initial Configuration Guide > Configuring Transport Data About the Co-MPT Base
Station in 3900 Series Base Station Product Documentation.

(3) Filling out the MultiCpriChainMoveTemplate Sheet


This template must be filled out in the reconstruction scenario where the GSM mode is included and the
GTMU is to be abandoned.

The CPRI adjustment method of the abandoned GTMU depends on the information that is
filled in the MultiCpriChainMoveTemplate sheet.
In scenarios where the GTMU is to be abandoned and GSM baseband signals are processed
by RF modules, a UBRI or UBBPd can be added during the reconstruction to carry CPRI
signals of GSM. Alternatively, the UBBPd for UMTS or LTE can also be used to carry the
CPRI signals of GSM. In scenarios where the baseband processing board of UMTS or LTE is
WBBP or LBBP, respectively, the WBBP or LBBP cannot be replaced with the UBBPd during
the reconstruction. Therefore, a UBRI is added to carry the CPRI signals of GSM.
For example, Default_Template is used in GTMU abandoning scenarios where the UMTS
baseband processing board is WBBP and a UBRI is to be added for processing GSM signals.
Move all the CPRI ports on the GTMU to the UBRI in slot 1, as shown in the following
templates.

All CPRI ports on the GTMU to be abandoned must be filled in the following table for the
replacement. The GTMU CPRIPort field indicates a CPRI port on the GTMU. The GTMU
CPRIPort Need CpriMux field indicates whether CPRI-Sharing is used by GSM CPRI ports
after the relocation. The Dest UBRI/UBBP BrdType, Dest UBRI/UBBP Slot, and Dest
UBRI/UBBP CPRIPort fields indicate the positions where the GTMU CPRI ports are
located after being relocated.

In the GTMU abandoning scenario where the baseband processing board of UMTS or LTE is
the UBBPd, if there is no idle CPRI port on the UBBPd, you can set the GTMU CPRIPort

Need CpriMux field to convert the CPRI dual-star typology before the reconstruction to the
CPRI chain typology. As shown in the following table, move the CPRI cables on the GTMU
into the specified ports on the UBBPd in slot 2 and slot 3. CPRI port 0 on the GTMU does not
connect to any fiber optic cable. Instead, the fiber optic cable inserted in CPRI port 4 on the
UBBPd in slot 2 is converted to use CPRI multiplexing.

(4) Filling out the MultiBBUCombTemplate Sheet


This sheet needs to be filled out for con-MPT reconstruction scenarios where two BBUs are combined
into one.

The adjustment mode must be entered in the MultiBBUCombTemplate sheet.


Fill in this template according to the guide in MultiBBUCombTemplate.

Ensure that the main control board deployed with the reference mode is retained after site
consolidation.

2. Adjusting data for WMPT/LMPT evolution

Issue 01 (2015-12-30)

3900 Series Multimode Base Station


Mode Transition Guide

3 Planning Mode Transition

During a co-MPT reconstruction from a UO, LO, UL, or some hybrid-MPT base stations,
convert the replaced WMPT or LMPT.

If the UMPTe serves as the main control board for the co-MPT base station after
reconstruction, the main control boards (including WMPT and LMPT) before reconstruction
are abandoned and removed from the subrack, and the main control board (UMPTa/b) before
reconstruction is retained and serves as the signaling extension board for the UMPTe.
(1) Adjusting data for WMPT evolution
After the co-MPT base station works properly, run the ADD BRD command to add a WMPT
board with Board Type set to WMPT and Slot No. set to 6. You cannot abandon the WMPT
without customer's permission. The WMPT must be in position but not be used.
(2) Adjusting data for LMPT evolution
After the co-MPT base station works properly, run the ADD BRD command to add an LMPT
board with Board Type set to LMPT and Slot No. set to 6.
3. Modifying GSM clock parameters
For the reconstruction of UMTS and LTE, if the original base station is a GSM and UMTS or
GSM and LTE multimode base station, check whether ClkType is set to PEER_CLK and
STANDARD is set to UMTS or LTE. If yes, set STANDARD to COMM.
(1) On the BSC LMT, run the LST BTSCLK command to check whether ClkType is set to
PEER_CLK and STANDARD is set to UMTS or LTE.
(2) If ClkType is set to PEER_CLK and STANDARD is set to UMTS or LTE, run the SET
BTSCLK command to modify STANDARD to COMM.
4. Modifying the OMCH IP of NodeBs on the MBSC
If a UMTS&LTE separate-MPT base station is to be reconstructed into a co-MPT base station
with mode expansion, and the LTE main control board is to be used as the main control board
of the co-MPT base station, adjust the OMCH IP of the corresponding MBSC of NodeB.
(1) Run the LST OMCH command to query the OMCH IP of the eNodeB.
(2) Run the MOD UNODEBIP command to modify the OMCH IP of the NodeB. Make the
OMCH IP of eNodeBs consistent with the NodeB. The following is an example: MOD
UNODEBIP: IDTYPE=BYID, NODEBID=1, NBTRANTP=IPTRANS_IP,
NBIPOAMIP="10.171.35.123", NBIPOAMMASK="255.255.255.0", IPSRN=0, IPSN=18,
IPLOGPORTFLAG=NO;

BBU interconnection applies to a separate-MPT triple-mode GUL base station or a separateMPT dual-mode base station. Two BBUs must be configured for the triple-mode GUL base
station. In the dual-mode scenarios, some customers prefer two BBUs working in different
modes. The two application scenarios (two BBU in different modes and two BBUs for triple
modes)are similar, and therefore details about BBU interconnection for dual-mode are not
provided.

Material requirement (hardware)

A UCIU occupies one slot in the primary BBU subrack. The BBU that is configured with the
UCIU is the primary BBU subrack (BBU 0). You can configure the UCIU in slot 4, 5, 0, or 1
(in the descending order of priority) in BBU 0.
The main control board in the leaf BBU (BBU 1) for interconnection must be the UMPT.
An inter-BBU signal cable is used to connect an M port on the UCIU in BBU 0 to a CI port
on the UMPT in BBU 1. You are advised to use the following M ports on the UCIU in
sequence: M0, M1, M2, M3, and M4.
Be aware of the distance limitations for BBU interconnection. The maximum length of an
inter-BBU signal cable for BBU interconnection through UCIU+UMPT can be 10 meters. If
an inter-BBU signal cable of over 10 meters is required, you need to customize it first.
The BBU3910 cannot be configured with a UCIU.
When two BBUs are interconnected, the monitoring device must be connected to BBU 0 and
related software can be configured in and monitored by the mode configured in the primary
BBU subrack.
In separate-MPT scenarios, GSM (GBTS/eGBTS) must be deployed only in BBU 0.

Data configuration requirement

A UCIU must be configured in the primary BBU subrack (BBU 0). If two modes are
configured in the primary BBU subrack, the UCIU can be configured only with one mode and
the mode's priority is GSM, UMTS, and LTE in a descending order.
The cabinet and subrack numbers of the primary BBU subrack and secondary BBU subrack
must be unique and do not conflict with each other.
The CTRLLNK or BTSCTRLLNK MO must be configured for all involved modes.
Ports of each control link and BTS control link must be determined for both sides. Links to
BBU 0 and BBU 1 are of different levels. By default, BBU 1 is the lower-level node and BBU
0 is the upper-level node.
Numbers of control links and BTS control links must be unique and do not conflict with each
other.
Data of control links and BTS control links must be the same for all modes in the root and leaf
BBUs.

3.6 Clock Planning


This section describes co-MPT or separate-MPT planning.

3.6.1 Overall Clock Planning Process


Figure 1.1 Overall clock planning process

Check whether the original clock can be shared.

Currently, the following reference clocks can be used in a separate-MPT base station:
GPS clock, BITS clock, E1/T1 clock, IEEE1588v2 clock, and synchronous Ethernet clock.
For UMTS, when the WMPT, UTRP2, or UTRP9 uses the IEEE1588v2 reference clock, the
reference clock cannot be shared by any other mode.

Issue 01 (2015-12-30)

Check whether the new mode can reuse the original clock.

If the new mode has time synchronization requirements and the original clock source is not of
the time synchronizing type, the original reference clock source cannot be shared.

Working
mode

The working mode of the clock in a multimode base station cannot be set to
AUTO(Automatic). Only one type of reference clock can be configured for
each mode and the main control board of each mode. Reference clock backup
is not supported.

Inter-RAT
decouplin
g

Loose coupling: The inter-RAT


external clock source works
independently.

Loose coupling: Inter-RAT impact is small


or none. If a base station fails to obtain
clock signals, it works in free-run mode for
a certain period of time. The period can be
as long as three months if frequency
synchronization is used.

Customer
Requirem
ents

An independent clock source is


configured for the new mode
because the customer has
required for sufficient clock
source. For example, for
IEEE1588v2, a customer may
require capacity expansion of the
IP clock server to support the
clock source requirements of the
new mode.

No additional clock source requirement is


posed by the new mode.

Requirements of new modes for the original reference clock source


Time synchronization (or phase synchronization) is available on the basis of frequency
synchronization. When the new mode has time synchronization requirements and SDR is
used for the original mode and new mode, the clock source of the original mode must
use time synchronization if either of the following events is true. Note that the reference
clock of time synchronization can be shared or not.
- GSM (GTMU used) is one of the original modes. If the reference clock source for time
synchronization is provided by the new mode, Clock Type and Peer Mode must be set
to PEER_CLK and the new mode, respectively.
- Inter-BBU SDR is used. If the secondary BBU subrack requires time synchronization,
time synchronization must be used for the reference clock of the primary BBU subrack.
- In mode transition from FDD to FDD+TDD (Adding the USCU clock board or other
ways to obtain GPS clock).
When time synchronization clock source is configured for the GSM main control board, specify the
frame synchronization switch FRAMESYNCSW based on whether inter-site frame number
synchronization must be supported:

Set FRAMESYNCSW to OFF if GBTS or eGBTS services do not need to support inter-site frame
number synchronization.

Set FRAMESYNCSW to ON if the GBTS must support

Before setting FRAMESYNCSW to ON, you need to perform frame number offset and training
sequence code planning to prevent interference between GSM neighboring cells.
The GTMUa board does not support time synchronization. When time synchronization is required, the
GTMUa board cannot be used and must be replaced.

3.7.2 Adding an Independent Baseband Board to the


New Mode with Separate-MPT Configuration
1. Scenario description and application scope
In a separate-MPT base station, an independent baseband board is added to the new mode for
mode transition.
The BBU3910A does not support mode transition when separate-MPT is used and therefore
does not support this scenario.
For details about selection of baseband processing boards, see GUL Base Station Overview
and Selection Guide.
2. Precautions
1) Slots 2 and 3 in the BBU3900 serve as the switching center. The NodeB can provide CPRI
ports only in slot 2 or 3 to connect RRUs. LTE also requires a baseband processing board in
slot 2 or 3.
2) The preceding constraint does not apply to the BBU3910 because it has a higher backplane
switching capability.
3) Pay attention to the board types supported by the BBU3910 that no longer supports some
old types of baseband processing boards. For details, see Description > Hardware

2. Precautions
1) Limitations on the BBU3900 slot assignment (not applicable to the BBU3910): For
NodeBs, only the baseband processing board in slots 2 and 3 of the BBU in a NodeB is
allowed to provide CPRI ports for connection to RRUs. For eNodeBs, at least one baseband
processing board must be installed in slot 2 or slot 3 and CPRI ports can be provided by the
baseband processing board in slots other than slots 2 and 3.
2) One RF module is connected to the BBU through one CPRI cable. Higher reliability
requires two CPRI cables for connecting the BBU in the ring topology.
3) The length of the added CPRI cable is determined according to site survey. Determine
whether the CPRI fiber optic cable or the optical module works in a single mode or multiple
modes.
4) If the optical fiber is to be reused, check whether the optical fiber type matches the optical
fiber connector. If they do not match, the optical fiber must be transferred. For details, see

service data at the same time, which improves the transmission
capability. The physical states of the ring topology and load sharing
applications are similar.

Backup Mode

Indicates the backup mode of the RRU chain or ring, including cold
backup and hot backup. Cold backup indicates that when the link on
one end of the chain or ring fails, the service is interrupted for a short
period of time, and then continues on the other end of the chain or
ring. In hot backup mode, if the link on one end of the chain or ring
fails, the service switches to the other end of the chain or ring
immediately. In hot backup mode, only one RRU can be configured on
each chain. When the Topo Type parameter is set to RING and the
Backup Mode parameter is set to HOT, the head and the tail of the
ring must be configured on different BBUs.

Mode Transition Guide

3 Planning Mode Transition

Limitation on RF modules: The RF module must be multimode RF modules (of M


series).

Other limitations: For an RRU or RFU whose version is earlier than V3, the dual-star
topology is used and CPRI rates on the two sides must be consistent. The system
automatically negotiates for a CPRI rate that is supported by both sides. Therefore,
during CPRI rate planning, pay attention to the CPRI rate that can be supported by the
optical module or CPRI interface board on the other side. For an RRU or RFU whose
version is later than V3, CPRI rates on the two sides can be different.

2. Precautions
1) In dual-star topology for separate-MPT scenarios, one CRPI link is for one mode and
services of a mode are not affected by other modes. In load sharing for co-MPT scenarios, two
CRPI links are shared by multiple modes and modes are randomly assigned to the CPRI link
based on load balancing rules.
2) The length of the added CPRI cable is determined according to site survey. Determine
whether the CPRI fiber optic cable or the optical module works in a single mode or multiple
modes.
3) If the optical fiber is to be reused, check whether the optical fiber type matches the optical
fiber connector. If they do not match, the optical fiber must be transferred. For details, see

3.8.4 CPRI MUX for SDR RF Modules


1. Scenario description and application scope

CPRI MUX applies to the following scenarios:


- RF modules work in multiple modes.
- Less optic fiber cables are preferred. Compared with the dual-star topology, CPRI
MUX uses less optic fiber cables though the relationship between modes lessens as well.
- Stadium, subway, and high-speed train scenarios (chain CPRI MUX with multiple
cascading levels).

Mode Transition Guide

3 Planning Mode Transition

Limitations:
Restriction on service specifications: The maximum service specifications of CPRI
MUX are less that those of the dual-star topology. In CPRI MUX, the bandwidth of the
baseband processing board that connects to CPRI fiber optic cables and the backplane
bandwidth of the converging and converged parties of CPRI MUX are limited.
Therefore, the specifications must be calculated based on factors such as the number of
ports connecting to CPRI fiber optic cables, port rate, number of cascaded RF modules,
main control board combination, and baseband processing board type. For details, see
CPRI MUX Feature Parameter Description.
Restriction on the slot and board type: CPRI MUX has requirements on board types that
can be supported by the converging party and converged party. In addition, if a
BBU3900 is used, the converging party must be configured in a certain slot. For details,
see CPRI MUX Feature Parameter Description.

2. Precautions
1) The length of the added CPRI cable is determined according to site survey. Determine
whether the CPRI fiber optic cable or the optical module works in a single mode or multiple
modes.
2) If the optical fiber is to be reused, check whether the optical fiber type matches the optical
fiber connector. If they do not match, the optical fiber must be transferred. For details, see
Reuse Guide and Checklist for CPRI Optical Cables in Distributed Base Stations.
3. Engineering guidelines

Material requirement
1) If the mode of the original RXU is to expanded to multiple modes, no additional RXU
is required.
2) A new RF module is added to serve multiple modes.

Reliability

All the modes are independent

A reset or fault on the main control


board that provides a transmission
port for co-transmission affects
other modes.
The mode that provides a
transmission port for cotransmission must be deployed
first.

Check whether the original mode provides the transmission port.


It is recommended that the transmission port be configured on the board or mode that has the
strongest transmission capability when co-transmission is used.
However, if co-transmission is implemented through UMPT+UMPT, the transmission port
shall be provided by the primary BBU subrack. Therefore, in such a case, if the new mode is
configured in the secondary BBU subrack and has a stronger transmission capability, the
primary BBU subrack provides the transmission port for co-transmission.
If the interface capabilities of the original and new modes are similar, the transmission port of
the original mode is preferred. This can avoid service interruption caused by transmission
adjustment in the original mode.

Transmission networking selection:


The transmission networking of the new mode is determined by the transmission type
supported by the new mode and actual site transmission condition. For example, if an eNodeB
supports Ethernet transmission and both Ethernet transmission and E1 transmission exist at
the site, Ethernet transmission must be configured for the eNodeB. If the site does not support
the transmission type supported by the new mode, transmission reconstruction must be
performed at the site.

Original mode:
Data of the original mode does not need any modification.
Node-related data needs to the changed as follows:
1) A port IP address DEVIP must be configured for the new mode. Note that this parameter is
required only when the port IP address is required for the new mode. If no new port IP address
is required, the new mode and original mode share the same port IP address.
2) The service link, signaling link, and route of the new mode must be configured.
New mode:
For new mode GU:
1) CPBEARER referenced by NODE must be configured on the signaling plane of the new
mode.
2) IPPATH or EPGROUP referenced by NODE must be configured on the user plane of the
new mode.
For new mode L:
1) CPBEARER or EPGROUP referenced by NODE must be configured on the signaling
plane of the new mode.
2) IPPATH or EPGROUP referenced by NODE must be configured on the user plane of the
new mode.
For details, see section "Configuring Transport Data" in 3900 Series Base Station Initial
Configuration Guide.

Service impact
Services of the original mode are not affected. The new mode can provide services once
the configuration is completed.

3.10 Equipment Auxiliary Planning


1. Focus for equipment auxiliary planning
Equipment auxiliary planning covers installation, power supply, and heat dissipation for the
BBU and RF module of the new mode. The original BBU can be reconstructed or a new BBU
can be added to support the new mode. The following table provides the details.

tion

A BBU has been installed and installation is not needed.

Power
supply

Use the NEP-SD tool or PCT tool to determine whether


UPEU capacity expansion is required. If the UPEU
capacity expansion is required, DC power supply needs
to be provided to the new UPEU.
Note:
1. UPEUs of different types cannot be used together.
2. For the power supply capability of one UPEU or two
UPEUs, see BBU Hardware Description > BBU3900
and BBU3910 Hardware Description > BBU3900 and
BBU3910 Boards > UPEU in 3900 Series Base Station
Product Documentation.

Heat
dissipa
tion

In the high temperature areas, if an UPEU is added to the


BBU3900 of an outdoor DC cabinet, a high-speed FANc
must be added.
Note:
High temperature areas: areas where the number of days
during which the highest temperature exceeds 45C is
greater than 10 days in a year

new BBU
for mode
transition

Installa
tion

If the new and original BBUs are installed in the same


cabinet, check whether the cabinet supports two BBUs. If
the new BBU is installed in another cabinet, check the
power supply and heat dissipation capabilities of the new
cabinet.
Note:
For the number of BBUs that can be installed in a
cabinet, see the section describing BBU/cabinet
specifications.

1. Check whether the original cabinet supports the new


RF module (some Ver.A or Ver.B cabinets do not support
high-power RF modules). If the original cabinet does not
support the new RF module, a new cabinet shall be
added. Alternatively, you can upgrade or reconstruct the
original cabinet.

Note:
For the heat dissipation capability, see the section
describing BBU/cabinet specifications.

2. Check whether the original cabinet has sufficient


space. If no sufficient space is available, add a new
cabinet for the new RF module, such as a BTS3900,
BTS3900L, RFC, or BTS3910AL. When adding a new
cabinet, pay attention to the footprint for installing the
cabinet.
Note:
For the mapping between the RFUs and cabinets, see
Hardware Description > RFU Hardware Description
> Applicable Cabinets for RFUs.
For cabinet reconstruction, see "Installation guide for
enhancing existing cabinets" in this topic.
Power
supply

1. RFU power supply:


If the original cabinet is used, check whether the DCDU
of the original cabinet can provide sufficient DC power
supply. If more DC power supply is required, use circuit
breakers with larger capacity or add an input to the
circuit breaker.
If a new cabinet is used, check whether the AC power
system provides DC power to the DCDU of the new
cabinet (pay attention to the cable and circuit breaker).
2. Check whether the AC power system can provide
sufficient power supply. If more power supply is
required, add a PSU or a power supply cabinet. When
adding a new power cabinet, pay attention to the
footprint for installing the cabinet.
Note:

Adding an
RRU

Heat
dissipa
tion

If a new RFU can be installed in the cabinet, the RFU


heat dissipation requirement can be met.

Installa
tion

Determine where the RRU is to be installed. The RRU


can be installed on a pole, wall, or L-type stand. If the
RRU is installed on a pole or wall, pay attention to the
installation position and bearing capacity. If the RRU is
installed on the L-type stand, pay attention to the
installation position of the L-type stand.

Power
supply

1. RRU power supply:


RRU power cable: Check the diameter and length of the
RRU power cable based on the RRU type and distance
between the RRU and BBU.
DC power supply for the RRU: Check whether a new
DCDU is required and whether the new DCDU's circuit
breaker meets the related requirements. In addition, if the
DC power supply cable is routed from the cabinet, check
the cabinet cabling capability.
AC power supply: Check whether the AC power system
can provide sufficient power supply. If more power
supply is required, add a PSU or a power supply cabinet.
In addition, check whether the power system provides
sufficient output circuit breakers.
Note:
1. For details about how to calculate the required cables,
cable diameter, and circuit breaker, see "Cable diameter
or circuit breaker calculation."
2. You can determine the number of cables that can be
provided by a cabinet based on the number of RRUs or
RFUs supported by the cabinet. For details, see
specifications in "BBU and cabinet specifications."
3. For the mapping between RRUs and a cabinet, see the
number of RRUs and power specifications supported by
the cabinet in "BBU and cabinet specifications."

3.11 Summary of Mode Transition Planning


3.11.1 License File Requirement
When adding a new mode, new RF modules, main control boards, or baseband processing
boards must be added, which requires the related single-mode licenses, for example, power or
TRX licenses. The way of purchasing such a license is the same as that for single-mode
equipment, and therefore, details are not described here.
This section uses multimode transition as an example to describe the license requirements.

4.8 Example: Mode Transition from GU to


G[U*L]
This section takes the transition from a separate-MPT GSM and UMTS (GU) dual-mode base
station to a GSM (GTMU), UMTS, and LTE (G+UL) multimode base station with dual-star
topology (GU 900 MHz) and CPRI MUX topology (GL 1800 MHz) as an example. This
chapter lists the managed objects (MOs) to be configured during the transition. Figure 4-15
shows the hardware configurations before and after mode transition. Figure 4-16 shows the
transmission networking topology before and after mode transition.

(FDD+TDD) base station as an example. Figure 4-25 shows the hardware configurations
before and after mode transition.
Figure 1.1 Hardware configurations before and after mode transition

The LMPT cannot be shared by LTE FDD and LTE TDD to form a co-MPT base station. If an LMPT is
used, replace the LMPT with the UMPT, and then perform mode transition. For the operation guide of
replacing the LMPT with the UMPT, see section "Replacing the Main Control Board When No SeGW Is
Deployed" or "Replacing the Main Control Board When an SeGW Is Deployed" in eRAN

Mode Transition Guide

5 Mode Transition Implementation

Mode Transition Implementation

5.1 Policies
Because the live network is affected during mode transition of a multimode base station, you
are advised to make preparations and perform the operations that do not affect services in
advance, and perform the operations that affect services in parallel. This can shorten the
service interruption duration.
During mode transition, data configuration and hardware adjustment are key operations and
the services are interrupted during these operations. Services can be restored only when these
two operations are consistent because they are interdependent. For example, when a CPRI
link is moved to a new port on the BBU during the transition, data related to the CPRI link
must be adjusted accordingly. Services of a multimode base station can be restored only when
the port adjustment is consistent with data configured for the CPRI link.
During mode transition, adjusting hardware and activating data configuration interrupt
services. Therefore, you are advised to perform these two operations in parallel. This
minimizes the service interruption duration during mode transition.
1. Complete operations that do not affect services in advance, such as pre-installation of
equipment of the new mode. Perform operations that affect services in parallel if possible to
shorten the duration.
2. During mode transition, hardware adjustment is required and must be performed with data
configuration in some transition scenarios. Only in this way the services can be restored
normally. Such hardware adjustment can be adjustment of CPRI links or transmission links. In
this case, perform hardware adjustment and data configuration activation in parallel to shorten
the service interruption period.
3. Upgrade the original mode before mode transition.
4. Before mode transition, perform refarming on the original mode to allocate a new
frequency to the new mode if necessary. Refarming shall be completed before site
reconstruction. In addition, ensure that a sufficient buffer zone is reserved for site
reconstruction during refarming.

6.2 Upgrading Base Station Software


Check whether the original versions of the GBTS and NodeB are the target versions of
SRAN. If the versions are not SRAN11.0, upgrade the base stations to the target version.
Refer to the upgrade guide of the target version during upgrade. For details about local USBassisted deployment procedure, see section "USB+U2000-based Commissioning" in 3900
Series Base Station Commissioning Guide.

6.3 Upgrading Software of Base Stations in the


Co-MPT Reconstruction Scenario
If the base station to be reconstructed includes a GBTS and the GBTS is to be reconstructed
into an eGBTS, the GTMU board must be converted. Before the conversion, download the
GTMU evolution software.
Visit http://support.huawei.com/carrier/, download the GTMU evolution software
corresponding to the MBTS'version (the software version is the V900 version).

Follow-up Procedure
If you select Split scripts by RRU chain in the wizard of importing RF adjustment data,
you need to activate common incremental scripts of a single base station during script
activation and then activate RRU chain/ring incremental scripts in sequence by task. The
CME does not allow you to activate multiple scripts of a base station simultaneously. After
activating a script, ensure that the script takes effect on the base station side and the
base station is connected before activating the next script.

Table 4 Setting attributes


Attribute

Description

Cell ID

The CME can automatically allocate IDs to new cells and TRXs.

TRX ID

Automatic allocation rules: After you enter a reference ID in the wizard, the CME
searches for available IDs from the reference ID and allocates them to new cells and
TRXs. For example, after allocating a reference TRX ID to the first TRX, the CME
generates a new ID by automatically adding 1 to the reference TRX ID and allocates the
new ID to the second TRX. If the generated ID has been used, the CME automatically
adds 1 to the ID until it is available and allocates the ID to the second TRX.
NOTE:
The minimum ID available under the NE selected in the wizard functions as the start value by
default on the CME.

FH Attributes

When the imported data file contains different NEs, the CME searches for available IDs from the
preset start value and allocates them.

The CME generates data based on the FH type in the data file for RF adjustment. If the
FH type is not specified in the data file, the CME generates data based on the FH type
selected in the wizard.
NOTE:

FH type has the following values: NO_FH, RF_FH, BaseBand_FH(BCCH HOP), and
BaseBand_FH(BCCH NOT HOP), indicating no FH, RF FH, baseband FH (BCCH TRX
involved), and baseband FH (BCCH TRX not involved), respectively.

Channel Rule

The configuration of the FH in PGSM/EGSM frequency band parameter is as follows:

When FH type is NO_FH, the configuration of FH in PGSM/EGSM frequency


band does not take effect.

When FH type is RF_FH, FH in PGSM/EGSM frequency band can be set to In


Different MAGroup or In One MAGroup.

When FH type is BaseBand_FH(BCCH HOP) or BaseBand_FH(BCCH NOT


HOP), FH in PGSM/EGSM frequency band can be set to In Different
MAGroup, In One MAGroup, or EGSM Frequency Not In Any MAGroup.

Set channel allocation rules based on the RF adjustment scenarios.

New Cells Channel Rule: configured when the data file for RF adjustment contains

new cells or you need to re-allocate channels of existing cells. For details about
channel allocation rules, see Channel Allocation Rules.
NOTE:
In the data file for RF adjustment, if Cell Extension Type is set to Double Timeslot
Extension Cell, the configuration of Channel Rule does not take effect. The CME
automatically allocates timeslots 0 and 2 on the BCCH TRX to the BCCH and SDCCH, respectively,
and allocates all the other timeslots in the cell to TCHs.

Existed Cells Channel Rule: configured when the data file for RF adjustment

contains only new TRXs or you need to add TRXs in an existing cell.

Issue 01 (2015-12-30)

When Channel Allocation Rule 0 for TRXs is selected, the CME re-allocates
all channels of the imported cells based on the channel allocation rule specified
by New Cells Channel Rule.

When Channel Allocation Rule 1 for TRXs is selected, the CME allocates

only channels of new TRXs based on the following rules:
1.

Rank TRXs by TRX No. in ascending order.

2.

Allocate PDCCHs: PDCCHs are allocated to channels 6, 5, 7, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0


of a TRX in sequence.

3.

Allocate SDCCHs: Based on the sequence of TRX numbers, allocate SDCCHs


to channel 0 of all new TRXs in the current cell, channel 1, and so on.

NOTE:
The rules do not take effect when the cell to which a TRX belongs is a double timeslot extension
cell.

The number of available channels is the difference between the sum of Number of PDCH and
Number of SDCCH specified in the data file for RF adjustment and the number of configured
channels of the cell to which new TRXs belong.

Step 6 Click Next, when the import is complete, click Finish.

If the CME displays a message stating that the operation is successful, configuration data
has been successfully imported.

If the CME displays a message stating that the import failed, base station configuration
data failed to be imported. If this occurs, you have to reconfigure the data based on the
error information.
NOTE:
In the error message list, you can:

Click an error message to view the details at the bottom of the wizard.

Double-click an error message to switch to the corresponding location in the imported file. Then,
reconfigure the data based on the error information.

Follow-up Procedure
If you select Split scripts by RRU chain in the wizard of importing RF adjustment data,
you need to activate common incremental scripts of a single base station during script
activation and then activate RRU chain/ring incremental scripts in sequence by task. The
CME does not allow you to activate multiple scripts of a base station simultaneously. After
activating a script, ensure that the script takes effect on the base station side and the
base station is connected before activating the next script.

7.5.2.2 Co-MPT
When the original mode is UMTS, you need to use the summary data file for batch
configuration (SRAN application) on the CME. If only the RF-related equipment data (RXU
board/TRX/cell capacity) needs to be adjusted, you can adjust RF data using the summary
data file.
The configuration procedure is as follows:

Description

Cell ID

The CME can automatically allocate IDs to new cells and TRXs.

TRX ID

Automatic allocation rules: After you enter a reference ID in the wizard, the CME
searches for available IDs from the reference ID and allocates them to new cells and
TRXs. For example, after allocating a reference TRX ID to the first TRX, the CME
generates a new ID by automatically adding 1 to the reference TRX ID and allocates the
new ID to the second TRX. If the generated ID has been used, the CME automatically
adds 1 to the ID until it is available and allocates the ID to the second TRX.
NOTE:
The minimum ID available under the NE selected in the wizard functions as the start value by
default on the CME.

FH Attributes

When the imported data file contains different NEs, the CME searches for available IDs from the
preset start value and allocates them.

The CME generates data based on the FH type in the data file for RF adjustment. If the
FH type is not specified in the data file, the CME generates data based on the FH type
selected in the wizard.
NOTE:

FH type has the following values: NO_FH, RF_FH, BaseBand_FH(BCCH HOP), and
BaseBand_FH(BCCH NOT HOP), indicating no FH, RF FH, baseband FH (BCCH TRX
involved), and baseband FH (BCCH TRX not involved), respectively.

Channel Rule

The configuration of the FH in PGSM/EGSM frequency band parameter is as follows:

When FH type is NO_FH, the configuration of FH in PGSM/EGSM frequency


band does not take effect.

When FH type is RF_FH, FH in PGSM/EGSM frequency band can be set to In


Different MAGroup or In One MAGroup.

When FH type is BaseBand_FH(BCCH HOP) or BaseBand_FH(BCCH NOT


HOP), FH in PGSM/EGSM frequency band can be set to In Different
MAGroup, In One MAGroup, or EGSM Frequency Not In Any MAGroup.

Set channel allocation rules based on the RF adjustment scenarios.

New Cells Channel Rule: configured when the data file for RF adjustment contains

new cells or you need to re-allocate channels of existing cells. For details about
channel allocation rules, see Channel Allocation Rules.
NOTE:
In the data file for RF adjustment, if Cell Extension Type is set to Double Timeslot
Extension Cell, the configuration of Channel Rule does not take effect. The CME
automatically allocates timeslots 0 and 2 on the BCCH TRX to the BCCH and SDCCH, respectively,
and allocates all the other timeslots in the cell to TCHs.

Existed Cells Channel Rule: configured when the data file for RF adjustment

contains only new TRXs or you need to add TRXs in an existing cell.

Issue 01 (2015-12-30)

When Channel Allocation Rule 0 for TRXs is selected, the CME re-allocates
all channels of the imported cells based on the channel allocation rule specified
by New Cells Channel Rule.

When Channel Allocation Rule 1 for TRXs is selected, the CME allocates

only channels of new TRXs based on the following rules:
1.

Rank TRXs by TRX No. in ascending order.

2.

Allocate PDCCHs: PDCCHs are allocated to channels 6, 5, 7, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0


of a TRX in sequence.

3.

Allocate SDCCHs: Based on the sequence of TRX numbers, allocate SDCCHs


to channel 0 of all new TRXs in the current cell, channel 1, and so on.

NOTE:
The rules do not take effect when the cell to which a TRX belongs is a double timeslot extension
cell.

The number of available channels is the difference between the sum of Number of PDCH and
Number of SDCCH specified in the data file for RF adjustment and the number of configured
channels of the cell to which new TRXs belong.

Step 6 Click Next, when the import is complete, click Finish.

If the CME displays a message stating that the operation is successful, configuration data
has been successfully imported.

If the CME displays a message stating that the import failed, base station configuration
data failed to be imported. If this occurs, you have to reconfigure the data based on the
error information.
NOTE:
In the error message list, you can:

Click an error message to view the details at the bottom of the wizard.

Double-click an error message to switch to the corresponding location in the imported file. Then,
reconfigure the data based on the error information.

Follow-up Procedure
If you select Split scripts by RRU chain in the wizard of importing RF adjustment data,
you need to activate common incremental scripts of a single base station during script
activation and then activate RRU chain/ring incremental scripts in sequence by task. The
CME does not allow you to activate multiple scripts of a base station simultaneously. After
activating a script, ensure that the script takes effect on the base station side and the
base station is connected before activating the next script.

Step 5 Edit transport data.


a.

Edit the data planned for each base station, such as the IP address, subnet, and port
number, on the Base Station Transport Data sheet.

b.

Edit the parameters for the MOs corresponding to each interface on the corresponding MO sheets
(XXXX List or XXXX Pattern). For example, device IP addresses and SCTP links are MOs.

If the value of a parameter on the XXXX Pattern sheet varies among base stations, you
can click
and select the parameter that needs to be referenced.
Microsoft Excel automatically generates the reference path for the parameter in the
summary data file. Figure 1 provides an example for using the reference function.
Advantage of the reference function: The value of one parameter can be referenced on
multiple XXXX Pattern sheets. Therefore, after a reference relationship is set, you only
need to change the referenced parameter value and do not need to modify the
parameters on the XXXX Pattern sheets even if the referenced parameter value
changes.
Restriction of the reference function:

The parameters to be referenced must be on the Common Data or Base Station


Transport Data sheet.

If a branch parameter has been set to be referenced by another parameters, the summary
data file does not enable or disable the parameters controlled by the branch parameter.
The CME will still check accuracy of all the parameters during the import.

Figure 1 Example for using the reference function

Under the Device IP Address object in the preceding figure, to retain the parameter
value of IP Address on port 0 in slot 7 of subrack 0 in cabinet 0 the same as the
parameter value of IP 1 under the NodeB IP address object on the Base Station
Transport Data sheet, you have to enter the path of the referenced parameter Base
Station Transport Data\NodeB IP address\IP 1 as the parameter value of IP Address
on port 0 in slot 7 of subrack 0 in cabinet 0. The CME assigns a parameter value based
on the reference path.

During IP route configuration, if the value obtained after a logic AND operation is
performed on the IP address and subnet mask is not equal to the IP address, you need to
use the macro function
address that meets the rule.

to convert the IP address to an IP

The IP address verification rule is the same as the NE configuration rule. That is, after a
logical AND operation is performed on the IP address and subnet mask, the obtained
value is equal to the IP address.
For detailed operations related to macro functions, see Figure 2.

Import the summary data file.


Importing a Summary Data File

Step 1 On the menu bar of the planned data area, choose UMTS Application > Import
Data > Import Base Station Summary Data (CME client mode) or CME > UMTS
Application > Import Data > Import Base Station Summary Data (U2000 client
mode). A dialog box is displayed for you to create base stations using a summary data
file.
Step 2 Click

and select the file you want to import.

If redundant device objects exist after the data for creating base stations in the summary data
file and data in the template are combined, after Delete redundant RF equipment data is
selected, the CME automatically deletes the device objects and subobjects that have not been
referenced by the cell.
Step 3 Click Next and select base stations you want to create.
You are advised not to select sample base stations.
You can select base stations in the NE list. You can also click Load to quickly select base
stations defined in the file by importing a file.
NOTE:

When selecting base stations in the NE list, you can select base stations and then click Export to
export the selected base stations as a file for future selections.
If the file is unavailable when you select base stations by importing a file, you can click Export to
obtain a file, edit the file, and then click Load to import the file into the CME.

For details about rules for loading the file, see File Rules.

Step 4 (Optional) Select Best effort.


This option is available only when the imported summary data file contains base station
controller data.

If Best effort is selected, the CME skips the error information and continues the import.
When the import is complete, the CME rolls back only incorrect base station data.

If Best effort is not selected, the CME rolls back all the imported data if the import
fails.

Step 5 (Optional and required when the CME generates scripts during the import of the summary
data file) Select Export Scripts and specify a save path for the scripts.

If Batch is selected, NodeB scripts are generated in the same file.

If One by one is selected, the generated scripts are divided by NodeB. One file is
generated for each NodeB, and shared object data is generated in an independent file.

Step 6 Click Next. The CME starts the import.

The import fails

1. You can view the error report. You can also double-click an error message in the error list
area. The CME opens the imported file and locates the error data cell in the file.
2. Modify error data based on the error message.
3. After the modification, click Retry to import the file.

Import a radio plan data file.


Importing a Radio Data Planning File

Step 1 Obtain the radio data planning file 3G Radio Network Planning Data
Template.xls from U2000 client installation path\client\client\Data\BSC
version\Model\local\language\Template.
Step 2 Open the file and reconfigure the data as planned.
You are not allowed to modify the parameters marked in gray in the file.
Step 3 Import the radio data planning file.
The CME imports the file by NE. For example, the CME contains data about 10 NEs and data
only about one of the NEs is contained in the file to be imported. After the file is imported, the
CME reconfigures data only about the specified NE in the file. For data about the other NEs,
the CME reconfigures only the interlocked data.
NOTE:

a.

When you modify a parameter that supports automatic synchronization in UCELL, the CME
automatically updates the parameters (for example, external cell information) that are associated
with this parameter on other RNCs in the planned data area. For details about associated parameters,
see the Associated_Parameter.xls file in U2000 client installation
path\client\client\Data\Common\AssociatedParameter\language.

You can set Cell Parameter Auto-Synchronization Policy to ensure


consistency between parameters on other BSCs and eNodeBs that are associated
with this parameter or ensure consistency of the associated parameters of all
cells in the current data area. For detailed operations, see Setting System
Options..

You can use the inter-U2000 neighboring cell management function to ensure
that the cell associated parameters are consistent in different U2000 systems. For
detailed operations, see Synchronizing Inter-OSS System Neighboring Cell
Data.

In the RNC in Pool management scenario, you need to configure neighboring cell data only on the
master RNC and then import the configured data. After the master RNC is configured, you can
synchronize the configuration of the backup RNC with the configuration of the master RNC using
the consistency check function. For detailed operations about the consistency check, see Checking
and Correcting the Differentiated Data Between the Master RNC and Backup or Overflow
RNCs.

Description

Cell ID

The CME can automatically allocate IDs to new cells and TRXs.

TRX ID

Automatic allocation rules: After you enter a reference ID in the wizard, the CME
searches for available IDs from the reference ID and allocates them to new cells and
TRXs. For example, after allocating a reference TRX ID to the first TRX, the CME
generates a new ID by automatically adding 1 to the reference TRX ID and allocates the
new ID to the second TRX. If the generated ID has been used, the CME automatically
adds 1 to the ID until it is available and allocates the ID to the second TRX.
NOTE:
The minimum ID available under the NE selected in the wizard functions as the start value by
default on the CME.

FH Attributes

When the imported data file contains different NEs, the CME searches for available IDs from the
preset start value and allocates them.

The CME generates data based on the FH type in the data file for RF adjustment. If the
FH type is not specified in the data file, the CME generates data based on the FH type
selected in the wizard.
NOTE:

FH type has the following values: NO_FH, RF_FH, BaseBand_FH(BCCH HOP), and
BaseBand_FH(BCCH NOT HOP), indicating no FH, RF FH, baseband FH (BCCH TRX
involved), and baseband FH (BCCH TRX not involved), respectively.

Channel Rule

The configuration of the FH in PGSM/EGSM frequency band parameter is as follows:

When FH type is NO_FH, the configuration of FH in PGSM/EGSM frequency


band does not take effect.

When FH type is RF_FH, FH in PGSM/EGSM frequency band can be set to In


Different MAGroup or In One MAGroup.

When FH type is BaseBand_FH(BCCH HOP) or BaseBand_FH(BCCH NOT


HOP), FH in PGSM/EGSM frequency band can be set to In Different
MAGroup, In One MAGroup, or EGSM Frequency Not In Any MAGroup.

Set channel allocation rules based on the RF adjustment scenarios.

New Cells Channel Rule: configured when the data file for RF adjustment contains

new cells or you need to re-allocate channels of existing cells. For details about
channel allocation rules, see Channel Allocation Rules.
NOTE:
In the data file for RF adjustment, if Cell Extension Type is set to Double Timeslot
Extension Cell, the configuration of Channel Rule does not take effect. The CME
automatically allocates timeslots 0 and 2 on the BCCH TRX to the BCCH and SDCCH, respectively,
and allocates all the other timeslots in the cell to TCHs.

Existed Cells Channel Rule: configured when the data file for RF adjustment

contains only new TRXs or you need to add TRXs in an existing cell.

Issue 01 (2015-12-30)

When Channel Allocation Rule 0 for TRXs is selected, the CME re-allocates
all channels of the imported cells based on the channel allocation rule specified
by New Cells Channel Rule.

When Channel Allocation Rule 1 for TRXs is selected, the CME allocates

Rank TRXs by TRX No. in ascending order.

2.

Allocate PDCCHs: PDCCHs are allocated to channels 6, 5, 7, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0


of a TRX in sequence.

3.

Allocate SDCCHs: Based on the sequence of TRX numbers, allocate SDCCHs


to channel 0 of all new TRXs in the current cell, channel 1, and so on.

NOTE:
The rules do not take effect when the cell to which a TRX belongs is a double timeslot extension
cell.

The number of available channels is the difference between the sum of Number of PDCH and
Number of SDCCH specified in the data file for RF adjustment and the number of configured
channels of the cell to which new TRXs belong.

Step 6 Click Next, when the import is complete, click Finish.

If the CME displays a message stating that the operation is successful, configuration data
has been successfully imported.

If the CME displays a message stating that the import failed, base station configuration
data failed to be imported. If this occurs, you have to reconfigure the data based on the
error information.
NOTE:
In the error message list, you can:

Click an error message to view the details at the bottom of the wizard.

Double-click an error message to switch to the corresponding location in the imported file. Then,
reconfigure the data based on the error information.

Follow-up Procedure
If you select Split scripts by RRU chain in the wizard of importing RF adjustment data,
you need to activate common incremental scripts of a single base station during script
activation and then activate RRU chain/ring incremental scripts in sequence by task. The
CME does not allow you to activate multiple scripts of a base station simultaneously. After
activating a script, ensure that the script takes effect on the base station side and the
base station is connected before activating the next script.

7.6.1.2 Co-MPT
When the original mode is LTE in co-MPT scenarios, you need to use the summary data file
for batch configuration (SRAN application) on the CME. If only the RF-related equipment
data (RXU board/TRX/cell capacity) needs to be adjusted, you can adjust RF data using the
summary data file.
The configuration procedure is as follows:

Microsoft Excel automatically generates the reference path for the parameter in the
summary data file. Figure 2 provides an example for using the reference function.
Advantage of the reference function: The value of one parameter can be referenced on
multiple XXXX Pattern sheets. Therefore, after a reference relationship is set, you only
need to change the referenced parameter value and do not need to modify the
parameters on the XXXX Pattern sheets even if the referenced parameter value
changes.
Restriction of the reference function:

The parameters to be referenced must be on the Common Data or Base Station


Transport Data sheet.

If a branch parameter has been set to be referenced by another parameters, the summary
data file does not enable or disable the parameters controlled by the branch parameter.
The CME will still check accuracy of all the parameters during the import.

antenna & feeder. 3 Planning Mode Transition shows the equipment configurations before and
after mode transition.

Adjusting BBUs
For details about BBU installation, see the installation guide of the corresponding base
station. For details about board installation, see the hardware maintenance guides of the
corresponding base station.
In the co-MPT reconstruction involving mode expansion scenario for UO, LO, UL, or some
hybrid-MPT base stations, convert the replaced WMPT or LMPT.

If the UMPTe serves as the main control board for the co-MPT base station after
reconstruction, the main control boards (including WMPT and LMPT) before reconstruction
are abandoned and removed from the subrack, and the main control board (UMPTa/b) before
reconstruction is retained and serves as the signaling extension board for the UMPTe.

Adjusting RF Modules
For details about how to install RRUs, see the related RRU installation guide.

10 Activating Configuration Data and Commissioning

Activating Configuration
Data and Commissioning

For details about the remote commissioning and USB flash drive-based commissioning, see 3900 Series
Base Station Commissioning Guide.

The LTE data configuration must be activated before the GSM and UMTS data configuration
because GUL co-transmission is implemented through the backplane and transmission ports
are provided on the LTE side after mode transition. Connect the transmission cable on the
GSM side to the LTE side and then activate the UMTS and GSM data configuration
successively if only one transmission cable is used. If two transmission cables are used,
connect the unused cable to the LTE side and then activate the UMTS and GSM data
configuration successively. There is no requirement on whether the other transmission cable
connected to the GSM side must be disconnected or not.
When you adjust the data of the original mode or when the data of the new mode includes
controller data, you must export an incremental script and use the script executor to activate
the script. For the operation methods, see 10.1 Activating Data in Incremental Scripts.
For the newly added mode to the co-MPT multimode base station, the remote U2000-based
commissioning without auxiliary equipment is recommended. For the operation methods, see
10.2 Base Station Deployment by PnP.
For the newly added mode to the separate-MPT multimode base station, either the remote
U2000-based commissioning without auxiliary equipment or the local USB + remote U2000based commissioning can be used. For the operation methods, see 10.2 Base Station
Deployment by PnP and 10.3 Base Station Deployment by USB.
For the newly added mode to the co-MPT reconstruction and capacity expansion, if the main
control board of the co-MPT base station is WMPT or LMPT, replace the WMPT or LMPT
with UMPT. The local USB + remote U2000-based commissioning can be used. If the main
control board of the co-MPT base station is UMPT, the remote U2000-based commissioning
can be used. For the operation methods, see 10.4 PnP-based Co-MPT Reconstruction and 10.3
Base Station Deployment by USB.

10.1 Activating Data in Incremental Scripts


For the original mode, export the incremental scripts and use the script executor for data
activation during data adjustment.
For the new mode, export the incremental script and use the script executor for data activation
if base station controller data exists.
1

Perform the operation described in Exporting Incremental Scripts in the Planned Data
Area.

Exporting Incremental Scripts from a Planned Data Area

Step 1 On the menu bar of the planned data area, choose Area Management > Planned Area >
Export Incremental Scripts (CME client mode) or CME > Planned Area > Export
Incremental Scripts (U2000 client mode). A dialog box is displayed for you to export
scripts.

If NE data in the planned data area has been modified, the CME automatically adds the
related NEs to the right pane.

If data in the planned data area is not modified, the CME displays a message indicating
that incremental scripts cannot be generated.

Step 2 Specify a save path for scripts.


Step 3 (Optional) Set description for the scripts in Project description.
The CME uses the user-defined information in Project description as the file name prefix
for the folder saving the exported scripts to easily identify the exported scripts and identify
loaded projects in the script.
Step 4 Select a script export mode, for example, Break on Failure or Best Effort.

Break on Failure: The export stops immediately if an error occurs during the command

execution in the export.

Best Effort: The CME continues with the export by running a command next to the

error command if an error occurs during the export.


Step 5 (Optional) Set an encryption mode for exported scripts.

No: The exported scripts do not have encryption passwords and no encryption passwords

are required when you loading projects.

Yes: The exported scripts have encryption passwords. When loading projects, you have

to enter encryption passwords by performing the following operations:


NOTE:
If an encrypted password has been set for the exproted script, you cannot check the script on the local
PC. Instead, you have to check it using the script executor.

the PC after either of the preceding operations. If the USB flash drive is forcibly ejected,
the files in the USB flash drive may be damaged. As a result, software and data
configuration files cannot be loaded by using the USB flash drive.

When transferring files for a making USB flash drive, do not copy the .xml files from a
remote desktop to a local PC. Otherwise, base station deployment will fail. You are
advised to compress the required files into a .rar or .zip file for file transfer.
You can use file comparison software, such as the BCCompare, to compare whether the file copied to

For the reconstruction scenarios of GU+L/GL+U/UL, the system will


automatically convert the base station deployed with the reference mode to a coMPT base station during the reconstruction, but will not handle the base station
deployed with the non-reference mode. In this case, you need to manually check
whether the reconstruction succeeds and whether the rollback is required (the
rollback is not required after the reconstruction succeeds). If the reconstruction
succeeds, manually remove the base station deployed with the non-reference

Check whether alarms related to separate-MPT NEs indicate errors. If they do


not, manually clear them.

If alarms are user-defined alarms before reconstruction, such as an


environmental alarm, you need to define alarms for the co-MPT base station
after reconstruction because the NE type has changed to BTS3900.
After the reconstruction, check whether boards are functioning properly, software
versions of these boards are correct, and the status of cells is normal. Check whether
the software versions of the UMPT, GTMU, and LMPT meet expectations. Note
that the GTMU works as an interface board and the LMPT works as a signaling
capacity expansion board after reconstruction.

Check whether the values of service KPIs specific to each mode are normal and
whether these values unexpectedly fluctuate after co-MPT reconstruction.

For measurement items registered on the U2000 before reconstruction, you need to register
measurement items for the co-MPT base station because the NE type has changed to
BTS3900.
Step 8 Adjust the DHCP server.
The DHCP server must be deployed on the U2000 after the reconstruction. If the DHCP
server is deployed on the BSC before the reconstruction, you need to switch it from the BSC
to the U2000. If the DHCP server is deployed on the U2000 before the reconstruction, skip

12 Appendix for Co-MPT Reconstruction

When separate-MPT multimode base stations are reconstructed into one co-MPT base
station, the conversion tool consolidates the node MOs of the multiple modes to those for
the co-MPT base station. When configuration data differs with modes, the tool modifies
the configuration data for the modes involved based on the value of the
SRANBaselineRAT parameter in the data planning template. If this parameter is not
specified, the tool applies the configuration data used on the more advanced mode to the
other modes of the MBTS in question. For example, the tool applies the configuration
data used on the UMTS side to the GSM of a GU dual-mode base station. If this
parameter is specified, the tool applies the configuration data used on the specified mode
to the other modes of the MBTS in question.
If consolidated data affects the system, alarms will be generated and displayed in the
result area and conversion logs. You need to determine whether the data needs to be
adjusted based on actual network conditions.

12.2 Preparing GSM Licenses


For the reconstruction where the GSM mode is involved, an eGBTS license file introduced in
SRAN8.0 is required in addition to a BSC license file. From SRAN8.0 onwards, the license
management system is consistent between GSM and UMTS in co-MPT reconstruction
scenarios. Specifically, the licensed resources for a BSC are contained in a BSC license file,
and the licensed resources for the GBTSs are contained in an eGBTS license file. In versions
earlier than SRAN8.0, the licensed resources for both the BSC and GBTSs are contained in a
BSC license file. For co-MPT reconstruction, you need to split the existing permanent
commercial or permanent&temporary license file of a BSC into a BSC license file (containing
the licensed resources for the BSC only) and an eGBTS license file (containing the licensed
resources for eGBTSs only). In addition, you may need to purchase certain licenses for
features deployed on base stations (the licenses are quoted by sales personnel). Then global
technical service (GTS) personnel merge a newly delivered eGBTS license file with the
eGBTS license file after splitting on the license website. The following figure shows an
example. Steps boxed in the dotted line are optional and can be performed by frontline
personnel according to the actual situation.

12 Appendix for Co-MPT Reconstruction

If a BSC uses a commissioning license or temporary commercial license, you cannot obtain
an eGBTS license file by splitting the license on the FNO. In this scenario, you need to apply
for a commissioning license or temporary commercial license for the eGBTS by using the
eGBTS license template at least one week in advance.
Note that Huawei now supports two license distribution platforms: FNO and ESDP. You can
apply for licenses on either of them. This document uses the FNO as an example to describe
license application.
GSM license preparation is required only when the first batch of base stations to be
reconstructed are all GBTSs.

(Recommended) Using a Permanent Commercial License or


Permanent&Temporary Commercial License
Step 1 Split the license.
After the reconstruction, obtain the license file for the eGBTS and that for the corresponding
BSC by splitting the original BSC license file. The following describes how to split the BSC
license file:

Revoke the BSC license file on the BSC and obtain the revocation code.
a.

On the web LMT of the BSC6900/BSC6910 to which the eGBTS belongs, run the
LST LICENSE command to query the current license file, as shown in the
following figure.

b.

On the same web LMT, run the RVK LICENSE command. Then enter the name of
the license file to be revoked, as shown in the following figure.

Log in to the FNO on the website of license.huawei.com. Choose GTS Portal > Split
GSM License.

Enter the revocation code and click Search. Then the resources to be split are listed, as
shown in the following figure.

Click Submit. The system will split a BSC license file into a new BSC license file and
an eGBTS license file.

After the task is complete, the FNO will send the results to your mailbox. If the task fails,
click Error Repair. If the error persists, contact the IT hotline or License Fulfillment
Department.

Click My Task and then download the license files. You can also download the license files
from your mailbox.

Only licensed resources for features supported by both eGBTSs and GBTSs and those
supported only by GBTSs can be split through the preceding steps. (License control items for
features supported only by GBTSs can be delivered by the U2000 to the BSC in order to
control the GBTSs. In this way, license files do not need to be replaced when the eGBTSs
support such features subsequently.) The UMPT Multi Mode License(GSM)(per UMPT)
supported by eGBTSs needs to be separately applied for, and is not required in GO co-MPT
reconstruction. Such license control items for eGBTSs as the IPSec bypass (per BTS), UMPT
Multi Mode License(GSM), Antenna Feeder Intermodulation Test (per TRX), and Spectrum
Scan (per TRX) must be applied for in other ways. For details, see GBSS18.1 eGBTS License
Application Guide.

Only a permanent commercial license and the permanent license in a permanent&temporary


license can be split into an eGBTS license file. A commissioning license or a temporary
commercial license cannot be split into an eGBTS license file on the FNO. You need to apply
for a commissioning license or temporary commercial license for the eGBTS using the license
application template at least one week early.
Step 2 Apply for new license control items that cannot be obtained from step 1 for the eGBTS, such
as the license control item "UMPT Multi Mode License(GSM)", and incorporate them into the
eGBTS license file after splitting.
----End

If a commissioning license or a temporary commercial license is used for reconstruction, skip


this step. You can obtain all the licenses for the eGBTS using the eGBTS license application
template by performing step 1.
To incorporate license files, perform the following operations:
1.

Visit license.huawei.com to log in to the FNO.

2.

On the FNO, choose GTS Portal > Manage Licenses > Manage Licenses.

3.

In the displayed window, choose ESN from the drop-down list of Search By. Enter an
ESN in the text box of Search For. Click
to query all the license files of this NE.

4.

Select the NE license files for the same product. Click Consolidate and the window
shown in the following figure will be displayed. Select the incorporated license files to
be downloaded and click Save to File to save these files on the local PC.

The license control item "UMPT Multi Mode License(GSM)" must be applied for when
multimode base stations to be reconstructed serve GSM. In this scenario, the license
control item should be quoted first by sales, and then the GTS personnel apply for the
license control item. For more information, see steps 1 to 5 of section "Applying for a
License During Version Upgrade, Capacity Expansion, or New Feature Deployment" in
chapter "License Application Operations Guidance in Different Scenarios" in GBSS18.1
eGBTS License Application Guide. For the license control items "Antenna Feeder
Intermodulation Test (per TRX) and "Spectrum Scan (per TRX)", only a temporary
license can be applied for when a permanent commercial license or
permanent&temporary commercial license is used. For more information, see steps 1 to
4 of section "Applying for a Permanent&Temporary/Trial License" in chapter "License
Application Operations Guidance in Different Scenarios" in GBSS18.1 eGBTS License
Application Guide.
"IPSec bypass (per BTS)" is a customized license control item, and is usually not
required during the reconstruction. If it is required, the license control item should be
quoted first by sales, and then the GTS personnel apply for the license control item. For
more information, see steps 1 to 5 of section "Applying for a License During Version
Upgrade, Capacity Expansion, or New Feature Deployment" in chapter "License
Application Operations Guidance in Different Scenarios" in GBSS18.1 eGBTS License
Application Guide.

The steps above have covered the operations for obtaining the eGBTS license and
incorporating new license control items.

(Not Recommended) Using a Temporary Commercial License or


Commissioning License for GSM
If no permanent commercial license or permanent&temporary license for a BSC is available
during the reconstruction, apply for temporary commercial or commissioning licenses for the
eGBTS and BSC.
If the permanent commercial license or permanent&temporary license for a BSC is available
during the reconstruction and the eGBTS will be restored to a GBTS after the reconstruction,
retain the existing BSC license and apply for a temporary commercial or commissioning
license for the eGBTS.

When these two types of license files are used for reconstruction, all license control items for
an eGBTS (the license control item "UMPT Multi Mode License(GSM)" must be contained)
must be directly applied for instead of being obtained by splitting the BSC license file.

12.3 What Should I Do If an Error Prompting


"Data Preparation failed" Occurs During the
Execution of a PnP Task?
An error occurs during the PnP task execution, as shown in the following figure.

The error indicates that the version of GTMU conversion software saved on the U2000 is
inconsistent with that in the auto-deployment list. First, check whether the parameter
ActBTSSoftwareVersion is specified in the data planning template and whether the value is
correct. If the parameter is not specified or the parameter value is incorrect, specify or correct
it and convert data again. If the parameter is correctly specified, check whether the GTMU
conversion software package has been uploaded to the U2000 and whether the version is
consistent with the specified one. If the software package has not been uploaded or the
package version is inconsistent with the specified one, upload the specified software package
and execute the PnP task again.

12.4 How Can I Roll Back Base Stations When


Co-MPT Reconstruction Fails?
1.

Adjust site hardware.

Restore the hardware to the status before the reconstruction.

Replace the transmission and main control boards with those used before reconstruction
and insert the original boards to the corresponding slots.

Replace the baseband processing boards with those used before reconstruction and insert
the original boards to the corresponding slots. In addition, remove the newly added
baseband processing boards or UBRI boards.

Replace the RF modules with those used before reconstruction and insert the original
units to the corresponding boards. In addition, adjust the antenna system.

Connect the transmission cables to the original ports before reconstruction.

3900 Series Multimode Base Station


Mode Transition Guide

12 Appendix for Co-MPT Reconstruction

Connect the CPRI cables to the original ports before reconstruction.

Reset the RF boards whose CPRI cable connections are adjusted.

2.

Roll back data configurations on the BSC side.

This operation is required when the GSM mode is involved in the reconstruction.
Upload scripts through the CME script executor. Specifically, select the directory where the
rollback scripts described in 3 are saved to import the BSC rollback scripts. Then execute the
rollback scripts to roll back BSC data configuration.
3.

Create a NodeB or an eNodeB on the U2000.

Create the same separate-MPT NEs as those before reconstruction through the Auto
Deployment function.
4.

Perform a power-off reset on the GTMU.

When GSM is involved in reconstruction and the GTMU is converted, a power-off reset is
required on the GTMU for rollback to prevent the GTMU from exceptions after the GTMU
software version is rolled back and the GTMU works as a main control unit again.
Perform this operation once the NodeB/eNodeB is normal. You can run the following
command to power off the GTMU: RST BRDPWROFF:CN=0,SRN=0,SN=6;
5.

Change the NodeB's OMCH IP address configured on an RNC.

Change the NodeB's OMCH IP address configured on an RNC to the OMCH IP address of the
NodeB before the reconstruction for rollback in the following reconstruction scenarios: UL
site reconstruction (LTE is deployed as the reference mode), GL+U site reconstruction, and
two BBUs are consolidated (including UMTS and LTE, with LTE as the reference mode).

Run the LST OMCH command to query the OMCH IP address of the NodeB.

Run the MOD UNODEBIP command to change the NodeB's OMCH IP address
configured on the RNC to the OMCH IP address of the NodeB before reconstruction.
The following is a command example: MOD UNODEBIP: IDTYPE=BYID,
NODEBID=1, NBTRANTP=IPTRANS_IP, NBIPOAMIP="10.171.35.123",
NBIPOAMMASK="255.255.255.0", IPSRN=0, IPSN=18, IPLOGPORTFLAG=NO;

12.5 Constraints and Limitations


Limitations on the Standalone CME
1.

Issue 01 (2015-12-30)

After the standalone CME is used to prepare co-MPT configuration data in offline mode,
the cabinet No., subrack No., and slot No. of the main control board cannot be adjusted
and the main control board cannot be removed after the co-MPT reconstruction during

12 Appendix for Co-MPT Reconstruction

the device reconstruction on the standalone CME. In the co-MPT reconstruction scenario
where the GSM mode is included, after the co-MPT reconstruction, you cannot change
the GTMU handling method when performing other reconstruction activities in offline
mode. If you change the GTMU handling method, the deployment list exported by the
standalone CME after configuration data is prepared will be abnormal. For example,
GTMU evolution is adopted during co-MPT reconstruction, but the GTMU is abandoned
during device reconstruction.
2.

The configuration data of the GBTS can be converted only in By ID mode by using the
standalone CME. To set the By ID mode, select By ID in the GSM Script Index Type
Options dialog box.

Limitation on NE Equipment
1.

Data of only the following GSM base stations can be converted: DBS3900 (GSM),
BTS3900 (GSM), BTS3900A (GSM), BTS3900L (GSM), and BTS3900AL (GSM).

2.

The conversion cannot be performed on super base stations.

3.

The conversion is not performed if a GBTS is configured with a DRFU or DRRU,UTRP.

3900 Series Multimode Base Station

12 Appendix for Co-MPT Reconstruction

4.

The conversion is not performed if the parameter Send Mode of a GBTS is set to a value
other than NOCOMB(No Combination) or DTIC(Transmit Independency or
Combination).

5.

Omit the following functions when performing conversion if any of them are enabled for
a GBTS: inter-module RF frequency hopping or inter-module power sharing, and interPA RF frequency hopping or inter-PA power sharing.

6.

Reconstruction cannot be performed if two sectors with different modes share a part of
the antenna before reconstruction, or if two baseband devices with different modes share
the same part of baseband processing units before reconstruction.

7.

Reconstruction cannot be performed if alarms related to configuration conflicts persist.


The configuration may conflict when the baseband processing boards or RF units (except
those in the dual-star topology) are configured in the same place for two modes or
different boards are configured in the same place for two modes.

8.

The GTMUa boards for the GSM sites can only fall into disuse and cannot be converted
after the reconstruction.

9.

If the replaced LMPT and WMPT boards are used as main control boards in other sites,
the IP configuration data retained in the boards may conflict with that of other sites. In
this scenario, you need to download the data configuration using the USB or LMT before
connecting them to the transmission network.

10. Only one user can convert the GBTSs under the same BSC for one time.
11. In the BSC node redundancy scenarios, the scenario where the GBTSs can be
reconstructed to eGBTSs only after the BSC switchover is not considered.
12. When the GBTS includes RFU and RRU and the RRUs are connected to the UBRI and
RFU to the GTMU through the CPRI cables, the GBTS is reconstructed into the eGBTS
through GTMU evolution. This is because a new UBRI is required if the GTMU is
abandoned, and the Multi-site Cell feature for GBTS does not support co-cell between
two transmission boards.
13. The separate-MPT base stations configured with BBU3910 can be reconstructed to coMPT base stations. Hardware configuration (subrack quantity, subrack type, subrack
number, board quantity, board type, and slot number) remains unchanged after the
reconstruction.
14. The BBU3910A has only one main control unit, and therefore it supports multiple modes
implemented only by the co-MPT. In this case, it involves the UO/LO co-MPT
reconstruction only. If the BBU3910A needs to support multimode co-MPT, it is
recommended that a new multimode co-MPT base station be deployed or modes be
added to the main control board after single-mode co-MPT reconstruction. The
BBU3910A neither supports a GBTS nor BBU interconnection (added in SRAN10.0).
15. After a separate-MPT multimode base station enabled with the CPRI MUX feature is
reconstructed into a co-MPT base station, the UBRIb or UBBPd serves as the converging
board if CPRI ports of the co-MPT base station carry GU/GL services. For details, see
CPRI MUX Feature Parameter Description in 3900 Series Base Station Product
Documentation.

Limitation on Transmission
1.

If the GBTS uses TDM or HDLC transmission (TDM over E1 for GTMU or other
transmission), change the TDM over E1 transmission to IP over E1 or IP over FE.
Otherwise, the co-MPT reconstruction is not supported.

2.

The conversion cannot be performed if a BSC pool is used and the transmission over the
Abis interface is used by different operators (this configuration is added in SRAN9.0).

3900 Series Multimode Base Station


Mode Transition Guide

12 Appendix for Co-MPT Reconstruction

3.

In the E1 backup scenario, if configuration data of the GBTS indicates that the primary
channel of the base station uses IP over E1 transmission and the secondary channel of the
base station uses IP over FE transmission, the tool cannot automatically identify this
scenario. In this situation, you need to assess the scenario before the reconstruction.

4.

The reconstruction cannot be performed if the networking changes after a GBTS is


reconstructed into an eGBTS. The networking may change from IP over E1 to IP over
FE, from IP over FE to IP over E1, from VLAN networking (in this scenario, the base
station must carry VLAN information in packets) to non-VLAN networking, or from
non-VLAN networking to VLAN networking. In addition, the VLAN ID may change.

5.

The tool does not support the reconstruction if the Ethernet port configured for a base
station is inconsistent with that actually used. For example, the IP address is configured
on an electrical port but the cable is connected to an optical port in actual use.

6.

The reconstruction cannot be performed if non-64 kbit/s timeslots have been monitored.

7.

The reconstruction cannot be performed if an ARP session has been configured.

8.

If the GBTS uses IP over FE/GE transmission (FE port on the GTMU), the GTMUb
conversion board does not support IP over FE/GE after reconstruction. (If separate
transmission was used before reconstruction, intermediate transmission needs to be
adjusted.) Assume that a base station deployed with both UMTS and LTE which use
separate transmission supporting IP over FE needs to be reconstructed into a co-MPT
base station which uses co-transmission supporting port sharing and IP over FE, and the
base station has UMTS and LTE inclusive route relationship and preferentially matches
the route of the non-reference mode (this route complies with the longest matching
principle or has the highest priority under the same length). In this scenario, you need to
configure the VLAN and route of the non-reference mode and reference mode for
transmission device. Otherwise, the OMCH and co-MPT reconstruction fail.

9.

Scenarios where IP addresses for GU and GL conflict are not considered for data
verification. If the IP addresses conflict, reconstruction fails.

10. For IPoE1-based GBTSs configured with the monitor timeslot, the monitor timeslot
configuration cannot be automatically converted for the co-MPT base stations. You need
to manually add the configuration of monitor timeslot after the reconstruction.
11. When converting base stations using DHCP servers, you are advised to convert base
stations configured on the same port of the base station controller at the same batch. If
one base station is not reconstructed together with other base stations, the base station
will obtain incorrect IP configuration data when it goes through the DHCP server-based
deployment procedure after a reset. As a result, the base station fails to start.
12. Co-MPT reconstruction restrictions on co-transmission are as follows:

Issue 01 (2015-12-30)

a.

In the scenario where a GU base station uses co-IP transmission, the internal IP
address on the GSM side is on the same network segment as the default local IP
address. As a result, the generated data fails the verification. In addition, the tool for
converting the GBTS data to eGBTS data cannot identify such a scenario, and
therefore the tool used for co-MPT reconstruction from a separate-MPT GU base
station to a co-MPT GU base station does not support this scenario.

ggg.

Scenarios where BBUs are interconnected through two front panels are not
supported. If BBUs are interconnected through one front panel before co-MPT
reconstruction, the cable used for interconnection must be reserved. If a GTMU is
to be abandoned, BBU interconnection through either one or two front panels is not
supported.

hhh.

E1/T1 co-transmission is not supported. Reconstruction from E1/T1 separate


transmission to E1/T1 co-transmission is not supported.

iii.

If co-transmission is applied before and after reconstruction, scenarios where the


cascaded main control board transfer data to other boards as well as the cascading
board are not supported.

jjj.

Reconstruction from Ethernet trunk separate transmission to Ethernet trunk cotransmission is not supported.

kkk.

Reconstruction cannot be performed in UTRPc-, UTRP2-, or UTRP9-based cotransmission scenarios when GSM is involved in reconstruction. When a separateMPT UL base station uses UTRPc-based co-transmission, only the reference mode
provides transmission ports during reconstruction.

lll.

In the case of co-transmission through a backplane, the two ports of the board that
provides a co-transmission port are configured with device IP addresses. Therefore,
it is difficult to determine which port is the co-transmission port and this scenario is
not supported.

13. Co-MPT reconstruction restrictions on security are as follows:


a.

For a separate-MPT multimode base station to be reconstructed, if security objects


are set for both the reference mode and non-reference modes, only security objects
for the reference mode are reserved after co-MPT reconstruction.

mmm. If

a separate-MPT multimode base station is to be reconstructed, only the digital


certificate for the reference mode is supported. Security objects of non-reference
modes cannot reference digital certificates. In the GSM configuration data, the
following items are not supported: digital certificates, IPsec, PACKETFILTER,
PINGFILTER, IPGUARD, or DOT1X (802.1x-based authentication).

nnn.

Co-MPT reconstruction from a separate-MPT multimode base station is not


supported if the following conditions are met:

ooo.

A UTRPc is configured to transmit data for the reference mode.

ppp.

IPsec is configured for the non-reference modes but not the reference mode.

qqq.

An operator's certificate is used for SSL.

14. Co-MPT reconstruction from a separate-MPT multimode base station is not supported if
both Ethernet and Ethernet trunk are used.
15. Co-MPT reconstruction from a separate-MPT multimode base station is not supported if
LTE is not the reference mode and the two ports of the LMPT are used as optical or
electrical ports.
16. Co-MPT reconstruction from a separate-MPT multimode base station is not supported if
PA of the main control board of a non-reference mode is set to AUTO(Automatic
Detection) because whether the Ethernet port is an optical or electrical port is not clear.
You can query the value of PA using the LST ETHPORT command. In addition, CoMPT reconstruction from an LO base station is not supported if PA of the LMPT board
is set to AUTO(Automatic Detection).
17. If the E1/T1 ports on one board will work in two bearing modes, such as IP and ATM
bearing modes after reconstruction, co-MPT reconstruction is not supported.
18. Co-MPT reconstruction is not supported if conflicts in the VLANMAP MO exist (the
values of Next Hop IP are the same or the subnet of a base station contains that of
another) and the values of VLAN Group No. are different.
19. Co-MPT reconstruction is not supported if boards working in active/standby mode are
configured on multiple separate-MPT multimode base stations.
20. In scenarios where a separate-MPT multimode base station is to be reconstructed, only
one type of route, source route or destination route, must be used for both the reference
and non-reference modes. Otherwise, co-MPT reconstruction is not supported.

21. The transmission port cannot be specified during reconstruction but can be specified
during transmission reconfiguration after reconstruction.
22. After the reconstruction, multiple next hop IP addresses, instead of one next hop IP
address, are used for the BTS maintenance plane, controller plane, and service plane.
Specifically, for the original GBTS, only one next hop IP address is used. If multiple
next hop IP addresses are required after the reconstruction, this configuration is not
supported by the tool. In this case, configure the route data after the reconstruction. The
following describes how to manually configure the route:
a.

If the next hop IP address of the BTS maintenance plane after the reconstruction is
different from the original next hop IP address, delete the original route to the IP
address of the U2000, and then run the ADD IPRT command to add a new route
and configure the actual next hop IP address.

rrr.

If the next hop IP address of the BTS control plane after the reconstruction is
different from the original next hop IP address, configure the route and next hop IP
address in the same way.

Note that the new next hop IP address planned for the BTS maintenance or control plane
must fall in the same network segment as the IP address of the Ethernet port configured
in the BTS parameter DEVIP. If they fall in different network segments, plan the IP
addresses of new BTS ports by running the ADD DEVIP command.

Limitation on Clock
1.

The reference clock planned by the customer is not included in the configuration data of
existing base stations.

2.

The reference clock planned by the customer supports only frequency synchronization,
but time synchronization is used for the configuration data of existing base stations. In
this case, it is recommended that the planned reference clock be adjusted to correct the
planned data before the co-MPT reconstruction.

3.

The reference clock planned by the customer does not support TOD clock cascading, but
TOD clock cascading data is included in the configuration data of existing base stations.
In this case, it is recommended that the reference clock be changed to a TOD clock to
correct the planned data or you run the RMV TOD command to modify the
configuration data of existing base stations.

4.

The reference clock planned by the customer does not support synchronous Ethernet
clock cascading, but synchronous Ethernet clock cascading data is included in the
configuration data of existing base stations. In this case, it is recommended that the
reference clock be changed to a synchronous Ethernet clock to correct the planned data
or you run the RMV SYNCETH command to modify the configuration data of existing
base stations.

5.

The BSC has been configured with the NTP server. The tool does not support the
reconstruction when the NTP uses encrypted authentication. In this case, re-configure the
encryption information after the BTS starts upon the configuration activation.

Limitation on Co-MPT Reconstruction in Independent RAT


Upgrade Scenarios
The co-MPT reconstruction when a RAT is upgraded separately is supported from SRAN10.1.
Specifically, each RAT bound to multimode base stations before reconstruction runs different
versions, and the mapping relationships between each mode satisfy the software whitelist
requirements. The multimode base stations can be directly reconstructed as a co-MPT base
station. In the co-MPT base station after reconstruction, each RAT retains the original version,
and the node runs the latest version.

12 Appendix for Co-MPT Reconstruction

Such a co-MPT reconstruction has the following limitations:


1.

The GBTS must run a version no later than that of NodeB and eNodeB, and the mapping
relationships between these three base stations satisfy the software whitelist
requirements.

2.

Only the standalone CME supports the co-MPT reconstruction when a RAT is upgraded
separately. The online CME does not support such a reconstruction.

3.

When the independent RAT upgrade function is supported, the software whitelist
contains the mapping relationships about V/R/C/SPC versions. Therefore, such a coMPT reconstruction is supported when RATs differ in the SPC version, instead of the
SPH version.

4.

Base station software supports a disguised version. However, the name of the base
station conversion component released at the support website must have a true version. If
the name have a disguised version, unpredictable exceptions may occur during the coMPT reconstruction when a RAT is upgraded separately.

5.

If the reconstruction is performed in batches, the base stations with the same RAT must
have the RAT running the same version. If base stations with the same RAT have the
RAT running different version, they must be classified into different batches for
reconstruction.

12.6 Description about Co-MPT Data


Conversion
Background
This tool is used for converting the configuration data for separate-MPT multimode base
stations, BTSs, NodeBs, and eNodeBs to that for co-MPT multimode base stations.
Reconstructing separate-MPT multimode base stations, BTSs, NodeBs, and eNodeBs to coMPT multimode base stations requires complex data reconfigurations. This tool is used to
simplify the data reconfigurations.

Requirements for Base Stations to Be Reconstructed

The GBTSs involved in a reconstruction must belong to one BSC.

A maximum of 50 base stations can be reconstructed at a time, and therefore do not enter
data for more than 50 base stations in the reconstruction data planning file.

12.6.1 Application Scenarios and Restrictions of the


MBSC Reconstruction Module
By default, an MBSC reconstruction module supports verification of configuration data
before reconstruction. If the verification results show that the configuration data does not
support the reconstruction, related information will be displayed to inform users of modifying
the configuration data. In addition, if the tool does not support the verification, query the
configuration data to determine whether to perform manual verification.

Scenarios Where Tool-Based Verification Is Supported


1.

If License Share in BBU Carrier Pool is set to YES(Yes), run the MOD BTS
command to change the setting.

2.

If Cell Extension Type is set DualTS_ExtCell, run the MOD GCELL command to
change the setting.

3.

If Support BTS Local Switch is set to YES(Yes), run the SET BTSLSW command to
change the setting.

4.

If Transmission Mode is set to TER_AND_SAT_TRANS(Terrestrial and Satellite) or


PICO_AND_SAT_TRANS(Pico and Satellite), run the SET BTSTRANS command to
change the setting.

5.

If NCH Occupy Block Number is set to a value other than 0, run the SET
GCELLGSMR command to change the setting.

6.

If ICB Allowed is set to YES(YES) or NULL(NULL), run the SET


GCELLBASICPARA command to change the setting.

7.

If Dynamic Transmission Div Supported is set to DDIVERSITY(DDIVERSITY) or


DPBT(DPBT), run the SET GCELLCHMGBASIC command to change the setting.

8.

If EGPRS2-A is set to YES(YES), run the SET GCELLGPRS command to change the
setting.

9.

If Support Reduced Latency Capability is set to SUPPORT(Support), run the SET


GCELLGPRS command to change the setting.

10. If Support Downlink Dual-Carrier is set to SUPPORT(Support), run the SET


GCELLGPRS command to change the setting.
11. If Move Immediate Assignment Down to BTS is set to YES(Support), run the SET
GCELLPSOTHERPARA command to change the setting.
12. If Move Packet Assignment Down to BTS is set to YES(Support), run the SET
GCELLPSOTHERPARA command to change the setting.

Scenarios Where Manual Verification Is Required


None

12.6.2 Application Scenarios and Restrictions of the


GBTS Reconstruction Module
By default, a GBTS reconstruction module supports verification of configuration data before
reconstruction. If the verification results show that the configuration data does not support the
reconstruction, related information will be displayed to inform users of modifying the
configuration data. In addition, if the tool does not support the verification, query the
configuration data to determine whether to perform manual verification.

Scenarios Where Tool-Based Verification Is Supported


1.

Convert the data of activated base station, cells and carriers only.

Scenarios Where Manual Verification Is Required


1.

In the Ethernet OAM CC scenario, after the BTS is reconstructed into an eGBTS, run the
ACT CFMCC command to perform corresponding activation and check.

2.

Before the reconstruction, Ethernet OAM 802.1ag is configured for the GBTS, and the
MAC-based RMEP is configured for the equipment interconnected to the GBTS: After
the reconstruction, Ethernet ports for interconnection are configured for the UMPT
instead of the GTMU. Therefore, in the given scenario, after the reconstruction, the data
configuration of the equipment interconnected to the GBTS needs to be changed to
ensure that the configured MAC address is the MAC address of the Ethernet port on the
UMPT.

3.

After a GBTS is changed to an eGBTS, if the NTP protocol is required for the clock
synchronization, the reconstruction tool will by default use the NTP server used by the
BSC as the NTP server for the eGBTS. Therefore, the route from the NTP server to the
eGBTS must exist. Otherwise, you need to add one. If another NTP server is required by
the eGBTS after reconstruction, a new NTP address must be configured.

12.6.3 Application Scenarios and Restrictions of the


SRAN Reconstruction Module
By default, an SRAN reconstruction module supports verification of configuration data before
reconstruction. If the verification results show that the configuration data does not support the
reconstruction, related information will be displayed to inform users of modifying the
configuration data. In addition, if the tool does not support the verification, query the
configuration data to determine whether to perform manual verification.

Scenarios Where Tool-Based Verification Is Supported


1.

CTRLLNK: The scenario where no control link is configured for both main control
boards when inter-BBU separate-MPT is used for a dual-mode base station is not
supported. In addition, a control link can be added by running the ADD CTRLLNK
command.

2.

The dual-star topology of RF modules in a BBU will be automatically changed to the


load-sharing networking.

3.

If both the primary and secondary modes have the same chain number under
RRUCHAIN, reassign a chain number to the secondary mode, that is, using the
maximum value among available values.

4.

If ALDs of both modes have the same device number, reassign a device number to the
secondary mode, that is, using the minimum value among available values.

5.

If the SRAN name after the reconstruction is not included in the reconstruction planning
file, the NE name of the primary mode will be used by default. However, the
reconstruction is not supported if the SRAN name is excluded and the NE name is blank.
In this case, the NE name can be configured by running the SET NENAME command.

6.

For ALDs of the primary and secondary modes, the vendor code, serial number, and
device name cannot be the same value except the value of null.

7.

If two sectors with different modes share the same antenna before the reconstruction,
combine the two sectors into one, using the parameters of the primary mode
preferentially, such as the sector number and sector name.

8.

The reconstruction cannot be performed if two baseband devices with different modes
share some of baseband processing units before the reconstruction. If two baseband
devices with different modes share the same baseband processing units before the
reconstruction, combine the two devices into one, using the parameters of the primary
mode preferentially.

9.

If DEVIP and ETHTRK are configured for the Ethernet, the configurations of the
primary mode will be used.

10. The OMCH configurations of the UMTS or LTE mode will be used to ensure the OMCH
connectivity in the scenario in GU or GL reconstruction scenarios.
11. For E1 backup, the network segments of the routes for the OMCH cannot overlap with
those of the routes for the user plane and data plane. If a route of the LTE mode can
reach U2000 as well as MME or SGW, users need to split this route into multiple routes.
The network segment of the destination IP address of the route to the U2000 cannot
contain the network segment of the route to the MME or SGW. For details about the
configurations, see Abis Transmission Backup. (You can obtain this document from
GBSS Feature Documentation on Hedex. On the GBSS Feature Documentation web
page, choose Description > Reliability > Abis Transmission Backup from the
navigation tree.). The OMCH configurations will not be combined. The configurations
related to E1 backup in UDPSESSION and GTRANSPARA will be combined.
12. For RRUs serving one GSM cell and two UMTS/LTE sectors, configure the RRU for
one UMTS/LTE sector before the combination.

Scenarios Where Manual Verification Is Required


1.

If multiple default routes for the IPRT exist, the default route of the primary mode will
be used. Users need to analyze the impact and solve the issue.

2.

The QoS-related configurations of the primary mode will be used after the
reconstruction. As a result, the QoS of the secondary mode will be affected. After the
reconstruction, a warning will be generated. The warning indicates the configurations of
each mode before the reconstruction, and users need to determine whether the QoSrelated configurations (such as DIFPRI and DSCPMAP) need to be modified.

3.

The tool cannot automatically convert interconnected sectors through two systems into
one sector in one system.

4.

If the maintenance IP of GBTS is the same as 192.168 network segment, need to replan
IP address. Otherwise the maintenance IP of GBTS and default maintenance IP of UMPT
are in the same segment caused co-MPT reconstruction failed.

5.

The rule for merging the transmission configuration data (the PACKETFILTER MO) is
as follows: all the PACKETFILTER MOs for baseline RAT and non-baseline RAT and
set the filter switch in the EPGROUP MO to disable. If users need packet filtering after
the Co-MPT reconstruction, the users manually configure the filter switch.

6.

In scenarios where a separate-MPT multimode base station is to be reconstructed, IP over


FE on one transmission port is used after co-MPT reconstruction if the following
conditions of the separate-MPT multimode base station are met:
a.

Separate transmission is used.

sss.

IP over FE is used.

ttt.

The transmission port numbers are the same.

12.7 Co-MPT Reconstruction Scenarios


Note:
1.

2.

3.

Issue 01 (2015-12-30)

The UMPT in co-MPT reconstruction scenarios described in this document includes


UMPTa, UMPTb, and UMPTe. The types of the UMPT are consistent before and after
reconstruction. For example, if the main control board of a separate-MPT base station is
UMPTb and the mode of this base station is used as the reference mode before
reconstruction, the main control board of the co-MPT base station after reconstruction
must also be UMPTb.

If the base station before reconstruction uses E1/T1 transmission (including E1/T1
over IP or E1/T1 over ATM), the UMPTe cannot serve as the main control board for
the co-MPT base station after reconstruction because the UMPTe does not support
E1/T1 transmission.

If the UMPTe serves as the main control board for the co-MPT base station after
reconstruction, the main control boards (including WMPT and LMPT) before
reconstruction are abandoned, and the main control board (UMPTa/b) before
reconstruction is retained and serves as the signaling extension board for the
UMPTe.

From SRAN11.1 onwards, hybrid-MPT base stations can be reconstructed. That is, the
co-MPT base station and separate-MPT base station can be reconstructed into a new coMPT base station. This type of reconstruction has the following constraints:
a.

The separate-MPT base station and co-MPT base station before reconstruction
cannot have the same NE types. For example, in the case of G[G*U]->[G*U], G
indicates the separate-MPT base station and G*U the co-MPT base station before
reconstruction.

uuu.

The reference mode must be the mode deployed on the co-MPT base station instead
of the separate-MPT base station.

vvv.

The following reconstruction scenarios are not supported: Two or more co-MPT
base stations are involved before reconstruction; The co-MPT base station to be
reconstructed is an eGBTS.

In SRAN11.0 and earlier versions, the GTMUc supports only the legacy scenarios and
does not support SingleOM co-MPT or evolution mode. Therefore, the GTMUc serves

as a GTMUa during the reconstruction. In SRAN11.1 and later versions, the GTMUc
supports SingleOM and evolution modes. Therefore, the GTMUc serves as a GTMUb
during the reconstruction.

Note 1: Assume that GSM and UMTS use IP over FE transmission and separate transmission
before reconstruction. If GSM and UMTS data are transmitted from Ethernet ports of
different numbers on different boards before reconstruction, the GSM and UMTS data will be
transmitted from different Ethernet ports after reconstruction; if GSM and UMTS data are
transmitted from Ethernet ports of the same number on different boards before reconstruction,
the GSM and UMTS data will be transmitted from the same Ethernet port after reconstruction.

2. If the UMPT_L in BBU


0 provides co-transmission
ports for GSM, UMTS, and

provides transmission ports
for GSM, UMTS, and LTE
after the reconstruction,
regardless of whether
BBUs are interconnected
through UCIUs or UMPTs.
