About This Chapter
This describes the hardware and software solutions for the 3900 series GU co-cabinet base
stations.
For details on the GBTS, see the DBS3900 GSM Product Description, BTS3900 GSM Product
Description, and BTS3900A GSM Product Description. For details on the NodeB, see the NodeB
Product Description.
2.1 Introduction to Hardware Solutions
The GSM and UMTS boards are installed in the same BBU3900, whereas the RF modules for
GSM are independent of those for UMTS.
2.2 Introduction to Software Solutions
The software is classified into GSM software and UMTS software. The software of the two
standards runs independently on the respective hardware in the BBU3900, and the
communications exist only between the main control units of the two standards. The common
boards such as the power supply unit, batteries, fans, and environment monitoring unit are
controlled by the common control unit in a centralized manner.

The GSM and UMTS boards are installed in the same BBU3900, whereas the RF modules for
GSM are independent of those for UMTS.
Hardware Solution for the DBS3900
The DBS3900 consists of the BBU3900, RRU3004, and RRU3804. The BBU3900 can be
configured with the following boards: GSM Timing and Main control Unit (GTMU), WCDMA
Main Processing Transmission unit (WMPT), WCDMA Baseband Processing unit (WBBP),
Universal Power and Environment interface Unit (UPEU), Universal Environment Interface
Unit (UEIU), and Universal BBU Fan unit type A (UBFA). The RF modules for GSM are
independent of those for UMTS. That is, the RRU3004 is used for GSM, and the RRU3804 is
used for UMTS. The GSM and UMTS standards share the monitoring devices, as shown in
Figure 2-1.

Hardware Solution for the BTS3900
The BTS3900 consists of the indoor macro cabinet, BBU3900, Double Radio Filter Unit
(DRFU), WCDMA Radio Filter Unit (WRFU), and the electromechanical components. The
BBU3900 can be configured with the following boards: GTMU, WMPT, WBBP, UPEU, UEIU,
and UBFA. The RF modules for GSM are independent of those for UMTS. That is, the DRFU
is used for GSM, and the WRFU is used for UMTS. The GSM and UMTS standards share the
monitoring devices, as shown in Figure 2-2.

The software architecture in the GU co-cabinet base station consists of two completely separate
software systems: the GSM software and the UMTS software. On the M2000, a GU co-cabinet
base station is presented as two interrelated NEs. Figure 2-4 illustrates the software solutions
for the 3900 series GU co-cabinet base stations.
