DPMU and PSU
 The wiring unit is connected to the external power supply through the terminals
for L and N wires, and leads the power to the PSU through the backplane.
 The PSU converts the input power into the -48 V DC power.
 The DPMU monitors the operating status of the PSU.
 The wiring unit provides -48 V DC power outputs through LOAD1(-), LOAD2(-),
and RTN(+).

3) Wiring unit
Main Functions of PSU
 There are 2 kinds of Power Supply Unit (PSU), AC/DC and DC/DC.
AC/DC PSU converts 220V to -48V; DC/DC PSU converts +24V to -48V
 The AC/DC and DC/DC PSU monitor alarms related to module faults
(such as output overvoltage, no output, and fan faults), alarms related to
module protection (such as overtemperature protection, and input
overvoltage/undervoltage protection), and power failure alarm

Main Functions of PMU
 The power and environment monitoring unit (DPMU)
 Communicates with the central processing unit through the
RS232/RS422 serial port
 Manages the power system and the battery charging and discharging
 Detects and reports water damage alarms, smoke alarms, door status
alarms, and standby Boolean value alarms; reports ambient humidity
and temperature, battery temperature, and standby analog values
 Detects power distribution and reports alarms, and also reports dry
contact alarms

Power Distribution Mode 1
 The BTS3900 cabinet can use three types of power inputs, namely, -48 V DC,
+24 V DC, and 220 V AC.
 If the external -48 V DC power input is used, no additional power system is

required. The external -48 V DC power input is directly connected to the
power input terminals on the DCDU (10 outputs). Then, the DCDU distributes
the -48 V DC power to each module in the cabinet.
 When the external +24 V DC power or +220V AC power is used, PSUs
and a cable in/out unit are configured in the cabinet. The PSUs convert
the external power into the -48 V DC power and supply the -48 V DC
power to the DCDU Then, the DCDU distributes the -48 V DC power to
each module in the cabinet.
 This is the power distribution when a -48 V DC cabinet is stacked on a
+24 V DC cabinet or +220V AC cabinet. The PSUs convert the external
+24 V DC or +220VAC power into the -48 V DC power and supply -48 V
DC power to the DCDUs in both cabinets. Then, the DCDUs distribute the
-48 V DC power to the modules in both cabinets.

Dynamic PBT
 Dynamic PBT is a mode based on the operation of timeslots, compared
with static PBT, it brings the balance between capacity and coverage and
does not cause the 50% decrease of capacity.
 The subscriber occupies a TS under the detection of measure report.
When the quality is lower than a threshold, the same No. of TS of the
adjacent TRX will be used as the secondary TS by the subscriber to start
PBT. (The former subscriber in the secondary TS will handover) When
the quality is higher than a threshold, the PBT will be canceled and the
secondary TS will be released.

BTS3900 Topologies - Star
 The star topology applies to common areas,
especially densely populated areas, such as
cities.
 Advantages
 In the star topology, each site is directly
connected to the BSC. It has the following
features:
 Easy networking
 Easy project implementation
 Easy network maintenance
 Easy network expansion
 High network reliability
 Disadvantages
 Compared with other topologies, the star
topology requires more transmission cables.
BTS3900 Topologies - Chain
 The chain topology applies to sparsely populated areas in strip-like terrain,
such as areas along highways and railway tracks.
 Advantages
 The chain topology reduces cost in transmission equipment, construction, and
transmission link lease.
 Disadvantages
 As signals pass through many nodes, the transmission reliability in the chain topology is
reduced.
 The faults in the upper-level BTSs may affect the lower-level BTSs.
 The number of levels in a chain network should not exceed five.
BTS3900 Topologies - Tree
 The tree topology applies to areas where network
structures, site distribution, and subscriber
distribution are complicated, for example, an area
where large-scale coverage overlaps hot spot or
small-scale coverage.
 Advantages
 The tree topology requires fewer transmission
cables compared with the star topology.
 Disadvantages
 As signals pass through many nodes, the
transmission reliability is reduced. This makes it
difficult for maintenance and engineering.
 The faults in the upper-level BTSs may affect the
lower-level BTSs.
 Capacity expansion is difficult.
 The number of levels in the tree should not exceed
five.
BTS3900 Topologies - Ring
 The ring topology applies to common scenarios. Due to its strong self-
healing capability, the ring topology is preferred if permitted by the routing.
 Advantages
 If there is a breaking point in the ring, the ring breaks into two chains at the
breaking point automatically. In this way, the BTSs preceding and following
the breaking point can work normally despite the breaking point; thus
improving the robustness of the system.
 Disadvantages
 In the ring topology, there is always a link section that does not transfer data.
DRFU Topologies Configuration
 The DRFU supports various
network topologies: star,
chain, and ring.

Basic Configuration Principles
 A single BTS3900/BTS3900A cabinet provides up to 12 carriers with the
maximum cell configuration of S4/4/4, and supports the dual-band
application.
 Minimum cost
 Smooth upgrade of configuration
 Antenna configuration principles
 Minimum number of DRFUs
 Minimum number of BBUs
 Highest reliability
 Mode of configuring two TRXs in one sector
RF Configuration Principles
 A maximum of three levels of DRFUs can be connected to one BBU.
 For S4/4/4 cell configuration and lower configurations, the star topology is
recommended between the BBU and the DRFU; for the configuration higher than
the S4/4/4 cell configuration, the ring topology is recommended between the BBU
and the DRFU.
 Minimum number of antennas. Each sector of the BTS must be configured with the
minimum number of antennas. For the 2-antenna receive diversity, each sector has
two antenna channels; for the 4-antenna receive diversity, each sector has four
antenna channels.
 Non-combination in the transmit channel. The non-combination configuration is
recommended for the DRFU to avoid the power loss in combination and to reduce
the power consumption of the BTS. If combination is required, the cavity combiner
must be configured outside the DRFU and one combination is recommended.
Configuration Principles of the BBU
 Minimum number of trunk cables. You can determine the number
of trunk cables as required, and take the existing configuration for
saving transmission resources into account in networking.
 Minimum number of UPEUs. The configuration of a single UPEU
is recommended. The redundancy backup mode can be
configured if required.
 One BBU supports six CPRI ports. The star topology is
recommended between DRFUs.
