1 Introduction
1.1 Positioning
The rapid development in the field of mobile communications technology promotes a sharp
growth in the number of mobile users, which increasingly poses high requirements for the
network quality of operators. Besides improving network coverage, operators need various
technologies to expand network capacity to cope with the rapidly increasing traffic volume in
the mobile broadband era.
Coverage holes and insufficiencies in network capacity significantly affect user experience.
Operators require a low-cost and easy-to-deploy network solution able to compensate for the
sharp growth in users and deliver critical improvements to network capabilities.
Customer-oriented and innovative, Huawei unveils the industry-leading BTS3911E, which is
a UMTS/LTE (UL) dual-band micro base station.
The BTS3911E is compact, lightweight, enables plug-and-play deployment, and offers
self-configuration features, making it an excellent choice for operators. The BTS3911E does
not require shelter or equipment room facilities, thereby simplifying site acquisition and
network deployment.
1.2 Benefits
Compact Structure and Fast Network Deployment
Compact and lightweight, the highly integrated BTS3911E is easy to install and maintain,
reducing operators' capital expenditure (CAPEX).
The BTS3911E can be installed on a wall or pole without the need for an equipment room,
making it an effective product for operators. The BTS3911E has few requirements for site
acquisition and enables flexible and fast network deployment. Therefore, the costs in site
leasing are reduced.
Flexible Deployment
When being co-located with the BTS3911EA/BTS3911ED, the BTS3911E shares
transmission resources and power supply resources, reducing deployment costs.
NOTE
The BTS3911EA is an outdoor fit AP with integrated antennas.
The BTS3911ED is an outdoor fit AP with separated antennas.
2 Architecture
The BTS3911E uses a modular structure. It provides physical ports at its bottom panel and
indicators at its side panel. Figure 2-3 shows the physical ports and indicators on the
BTS3911E.

3 Networking Scenarios
This section describes the networking for the BTS3911E in different scenarios.
NOTE
The BTS3911E supports only cascaded RRU3230Es or RRU3930Es.
The BTS3911E supports a maximum of two levels of cascaded RRUs.
The BTS3911E is at most 5 km away from the last level of cascaded RRUs.
The BTS3911E and RRU are connected over the CPRI port using fiber optic cables with a CPRI rate
of 2.5 Gbit/s or 4.9 Gbit/s to transmit CPRI signals.
The O&M system manages, monitors, and maintains the BTS3911E software, hardware, and
configuration information. The BTS3911E supports two O&M modes.
Configuration Management
Configuration management includes data configuration, query, export, backup, and restoration,
as well as configuration synchronization with the U2000.
Device data, transmission data, and service data are configured independently based on
managed objects (MOs).
Fault Management
Fault management involves fault detection, fault isolation, self-healing, alarm reporting, and
alarm correlation. The BTS3911E can manage the faults in hardware, environment, software,
transmission, cell, and services.
Fault isolation prevents faults from affecting the operational continuity of the BTS3911E.
Self-healing minimizes the impact of faults on services by lowering performance or
reestablishing cells.
Alarm correlation enables the BTS3911E to report only the root fault and the ultimate
impact on services. Alarm correlation helps engineers quickly pinpoint the root fault,
analyze severity, and take measures to rectify the root fault instead of rectifying the
associated faults.
Performance Management
Performance management involves periodic performance measurement on the BTS3911E and
the collection, storage, and reporting of the measurement results.
The BTS3911E collects the performance measurement results every 15, 30, or 60 minutes,
and stores the results for a maximum of three days. Performance measurement covers the
performance of BTS3911Es, cells (including neighboring cells), transmission, standard
interfaces, and device usage.
The BTS3911E supports real-time monitoring of key performance indicators (KPIs) with an
interval of 1 minute, which helps detect and diagnose faults in a timely manner.
Tracing Management
Tracing management facilitates routine maintenance, commissioning, and troubleshooting by
tracing internal messages as well as messages related to interfaces, signaling links, and UEs.
Security Management
Security management implements user authentication and access control. It includes user
account management, rights management, login management, identity authentication, and
operation authentication.
Security management also involves Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)-based security control on the
transmission channels between the BTS3911E and the U2000.
Security management provides network- and user-specific security services. It provides the
following functions:
Encryption: encrypts important user information.
Authentication: manages and authenticates user accounts.
Access control: controls user operations.
Security protocol: supports SSL.
Software Management
Software management involves the following functions:
Software version management: Software versions can be queried, backed up, and
restored.
Software version upgrade: BTS3911Es can be remotely upgraded in batches. With the
one-click remote upgrade wizard provided by the U2000, you can:
− Perform health checks before and after upgrades.
− Back up, download, and activate the software.
− Check the upgrade status and results.
The BTS3911E supports automatic configuration updates during upgrades. To complete
an upgrade, simply follow the instructions on the upgrade wizard. It also allows you to
rapidly roll back the software version by running one command, reducing the impact of
upgrade failures.
Patch management involves patch query, download, loading, activation, deactivation,
rollback, confirmation, and removal.
Deployment Management
Deployment management covers BTS3911E self-discovery, deployment by using a USB flash
drive, Wi-Fi deployment, remote deployment, and radio parameter self-planning. These
functions reduce the manual workload of network deployment and increase deployment
efficiency.
BTS3911E self-discovery: Operators do not need to manually set the IP addresses for the
BTS3911E and U2000 during network deployment.
Deployment using a USB flash drive: Software and data are automatically downloaded
from the USB flash drive to the BTS3911E. This approach allows for faster deployment
than downloading software and data from the U2000, especially when the transmission
bandwidth between the BTS3911E and the U2000 is insufficient.
Wi-Fi deployment: Software and data are automatically downloaded from a maintenance
terminal to the Wi-Fi module of the BTS3911E. This approach allows for faster
deployment than downloading software and data from the U2000, especially when the
transmission bandwidth between the BTS3911E and the U2000 is insufficient.
Device Management
Device management involves data configuration, device status management, fault detection,
and troubleshooting for all devices on the BTS3911E. On the device panel, you can view
device status and perform simple operations such as device query and reset.
Inventory Management
Inventory management involves the collection and reporting of inventory information about
the BTS3911E. With inventory management, you can manage network equipment assets at the
OMC.
