USU3910-based Multi-BBU Interconnection Feature
Parameter Description 2 Overview

2 Overview

2.1 Introduction
USU3910-based multi-BBU interconnection (multi-BBU interconnection for short) allows
two or more BBUs to communicate with each other and process services by connecting the
BBUs and USU3910s.

NOTE

l The universal switching unit (USU) in this document refers to the USU3910.
l BBUs in this document include the BBU3900, BBU3910, and BBU5900 but exclude the
BBU3910A.

After BBUs are interconnected, each USU and the eNodeB where each BBU is installed
function as independent network elements (NEs) on the U2000. A cluster of these NEs form a
Cloud BB network.

BBUs and USUs are connected in either of the following modes:

l Centralized Cloud BB (Ideal Backhaul) (centralized Cloud BB for short)
l Distributed Cloud BB (Ideal Backhaul) (distributed Cloud BB mode for short)
NOTE

LTE TDD does not support the distributed Cloud BB mode.

In a Cloud BB network, if some BBUs connect to a USU in centralized Cloud BB mode and
other BBUs connect to this USU in distributed Cloud BB mode, this networking mode is
called the hybrid Cloud BB mode.

2.2 Benefits
Multi-BBU interconnection provides the following benefits:
l Helps achieve inter-BBU cell coordination when a coordinated-based feature is enabled.
l Reduces the number of required Global Positioning System (GPS) or BieDou antennas
because interconnected BBUs can share GPS or BieDou clock signals.
l Improves the reliability of the clock on Cloud BB networks by supporting clock source
backup.

Figure 3-4 Cable connections between BBUs and USUs in centralized Cloud BB mode when
first-level USUs work in backup mode

For a BBU:
l When first-level USUs do not work in backup mode, one main control board is required
in a BBU and this board connects to a first-level USU through a CI interconnection
cable.
l When first-level USUs work in backup mode, two main control boards are required in a
BBU. Each main control board connects to a CI interconnection cable, and the two
cables connect to different first-level USUs.
l A maximum of six HEI interconnection cables can be configured for a BBU. The
number of HEI interconnection cables connecting to a BBU equals to the number of
BBPs in the BBU.
For a first-level USU:
l If the CASCADEPORT.PM parameter of an HEI port on the ULPU is set to AUTO
(recommended) or SCPRI/SRIO, there are no strict rules for the mappings between the
ports on the ULPU and BBP.
NOTE

If the parameter is set to SCPRI/SRIO, the ports of the ULPU and connected BBP work in the
SRIO mode. If this parameter is set to AUTO, the ports of the ULPU and connected BBP work in
the 40GE mode to obtain larger channel bandwidth.
l In the LTE FDD network, a maximum of five BBUs can be configured for each first-
level USU.

Distributed Cloud BB Mode

BBUs and USUs are connected using HEI interconnection cables for long-distance
transmission.
l If an LBBPd or UBBPd is used, a UCCU must be configured for connection to a USU.
l If a UBBPe, UBBPem, or UBBPei is used, the BBP itself can connect to a USU.
NOTE

HEI ports, cable connections, and configurations are the same for the UBBPe, UBBPem, or
UBBPei. The following takes the UBBPe as an example.
The optical module of an HEI port on a ULPU or UBBPe or the M5/S0 port on a UCCU provides
two optical ports. Each optical port provides single-fiber bidirectional transmission at a rate of 10
Gbit/s. You can connect one or two cables to an optical module.
l If an HEI port on a ULPU connects to two optical fibers, the fibers can connect to either the
same BBU (shown in Figure 3-6) or different BBUs (shown in Figure 3-7).
l If a BBU connects to two optical fibers, the fibers must connect to the same ULPU.

For a BBU:
l A UBBPem or UBBPei can be installed only in a BBU3910 or BBU5900.
l If a UBBPe is installed in a BBU3900, ensure that at least a UBBPe is installed in slot 2
or 3 and connects to a USU. This restraint does not apply to the BBU3910 and
BBU5900.
l In a BBU3900, the UCCU is installed in slot 3, 2, 4, 5, 1, or 0 in descending order of
priority. If a UCCU is not installed in slot 2 or 3, baseband interconnection cables are
required to connect the UCCU and BBP, as shown in Figure 3-5. This restraint does not
apply to the BBU3910.

– CI interconnection cable between first- and second-level USUs: One end of the
cable connects to the CI-DL port in the second-level USU. The other end connects
to the CI-UL port in the first-level USU. Only one CI-UL port can be activated in
the first-level USU to prevent loopback between two second-level USUs.
– FABRIC interconnection cables between a first-level USU and two second-level
USUs in backup mode: Each first-level USU connects to the UEFU in a second-
level USU using two FABRIC interconnection cables.
l Configuration principles
– Each first-level USU must connect to four FABRIC interconnection cables. These
cables connect to two or four UEFU boards in second-level USUs. Connections of
FABRIC interconnection cables have no requirements for the FABRIC port
numbers.
NOTE

If the number of first-level USUs connected to a second-level USU is less than or equal to
three, the second-level USU can use only one UEFU. The first-level USUs connect to the
second-level USU through four FABRIC interconnection cables and port numbers are not
strictly matched. This configuration reduces transmission reliability.
– Slots 0 and 1 in a second-level USU can house UEFU boards only.
– A maximum of two second-level USUs can be deployed in a Cloud BB network. A
maximum of 12 first-level USUs can be configured for a second-level USU.
– When two to six first-level USUs are configured, one second-level USU is required.
When seven to 12 first-level USUs are configured, two second-level USUs are
required.
– The optical fiber connecting a first-level USU and a second-level USU must be
shorter than or equal to 90 m. The optical fiber connecting two second-level USUs
must be shorter than or equal to 100 m.

Figure 3-9, Figure 3-10, Figure 3-11, and Figure 3-12 show the cable connections
between USUs in centralized Cloud BB mode.

– The second-level USU provides a maximum of 30 HEI ports. When each first-level
USU connects to five HEI ports in the second-level USU, the second-level USU can
connect to a maximum of six first-level USUs.
– The total length of optical fibers between first-level and second-level USUs must
not exceed 10 km.
– The total length of optical fibers between two coordinated BBUs that transmit
signals through first- and second-level USUs must not exceed 20 km.
– HEI ports 25 to 29 in a first-level USU connect to HEI ports in the second-level
USU by using ten optical fibers without any requirement for port numbers.
– A ULPU must be installed in slot 1 in the second-level USU.
– Only one second-level USU can be deployed in a Cloud BB network.
NOTE

When two to six first-level USUs are configured, one second-level USU is required.

3.3 Key Configurations

3.3.1 Basic Data Configurations

3.3.1.1 General Principles

There are principles for setting the CLOUDBBID and NODEID parameters:
l CLOUDBBID of a new Cloud BB network must be unique on the entire network.
l The CLOUDBBID parameter must be set to the same value for all the eNodeBs and
USUs on a Cloud BB network.
l The CLOUDBBID parameter cannot be set to 0.

Parameter Description 3 Technical Description

l The NODEID parameter cannot be set to the same value for each USU at the same level
on a Cloud BB network.
l In centralized Cloud BB mode, the NODEID parameter must be set to 0 or 1 for the
second-level USU that functions as the server.
l Node IDs need be planned and used starting from small values preferably. If larger node
IDs are used when smaller ones are available, the network is temporarily interrupted.
IP addresses must be configured in the same network segment and be unique on a Cloud BB
network. The following IP addresses must be configured:
l Centralized Cloud BB mode:
– IP address of an HEI port which is on the ULPU in a USU and connects to an HEI
interconnection cable
– IP address of a CI port which is on the UMPT in a BBU and connects to a CI
interconnection cable
l Distributed Cloud BB mode:
– IP address of the M5/S0 port which is on the UCCU in a BBU and connects to an
HEI interconnection cable
– IP address of the HEI port which is on the UBBPe, UBBPem, or UBBPei in a BBU
and connects to an HEI interconnection cable
NOTE

In a Cloud BB network, these IP addresses must be in a different network segment from the O&M IP
addresses and other interface IP addresses (such as IP addresses of the S1 and X2 interfaces).

NEs can share the clock signals from the clock source.
A clock source can be configured in the following ways:
l A USU is configured with a GPS, BeiDou, or IP clock source, as shown in Figure 3-15.
l A BBU is configured with a GPS or BeiDou clock source, as shown in Figure 3-16.

Clock Data Configurations

Clock synchronization scenarios are classified based on the following aspects:
l NE type: BBU or USU
l NE function in clock synchronization: NE configured with a clock source, NE receiving
clock signals from another NE, or NE forwarding clock signals
l The clock signal transmission bearer mode: centralized, distributed, centralized ->
distributed, or distributed -> centralized
The clock signal transmission bearer mode is the networking mode between two or three
NEs through which clock signals are transmitted, as shown in the following figure.

Figure 3-17 Clock signal transmission bearer mode

In the preceding figure, NEs are connected in the following mode:

Centralized: BBU 1 -> USU 1, BBU 1 -> USU 1 -> BBU 2, and USU 2 -> BBU 3
Distributed: USU 1 -> USU 0 and USU 1 -> USU 0 -> USU 2
Centralized -> distributed: BBU 1 -> USU 1 -> USU 0
Distributed -> centralized: USU 0 -> USU 2 -> BBU 3

Clock data configurations on an eNodeB and a USU vary with the clock synchronization
scenario.

l Each NE can perform only one function in clock configurations and takes effect based on
this function. Each BBU can either be configured with a clock source or receive clock
signals from another NE. Each USU can either be configured with a clock source or
forward clock signals.
l IPCLKLINK: If DEVTYPE is set to OC_MASTER or BC, LN is 2. If DEVTYPE is
set to OC_SLAVE, LN is 0 or 1.
l Set the CLKSYNCMODE parameter to TIME for both eNodeBs and USUs except
when the USUs work in free-running mode.
l When a USU is configured with a clock source, the USU must use the GPS or IEEE
1588v2 clock as the clock source for its own synchronization. When an eNodeB is
configured with a clock source, the eNodeB must use the GPS clock source for its own
synchronization. Set the CLKSYNCMODE parameter to TIME for the USU or
eNodeB that is configured with a clock source.

Abnormal Scenarios
If a clock source is faulty, the NE configured with the clock source continues providing clock
signals for BBUs within 30 minutes.

If a clock source is lost, the difference of the clock on the UMPT of each BBU and the clock
source is less than 1.5 μs within 2 hours. In this scenario, inter-eNodeB coordination-based
services can be performed properly. If the difference is greater than 1.5 μs, the clock accuracy
requirement of service coordination cannot be met and therefore inter-eNodeB coordination-
based services are interrupted.

3.3.2.3 Clock Source Backup

On a Cloud BB network, two NEs can be configured with clock sources for backup to ensure
that clock signals are available for clock synchronization when the clock source on one of the
NEs is faulty.

In hybrid or distributed Cloud BB mode, the two NEs configured with the clock source must
be of the same type, such as:

l Two BBUs
l Two first-level USUs

In addition, the centralized Cloud BB mode also supports the following scenarios:

l Two second-level USUs are configured with clock sources.

l A BBU is configured with a GPS clock source in a BBU and a second-level USU is
configured with a 1588 V2 clock source.

The restrictions on clock source backup on a Cloud BB network are as follows:

l When two BBUs provide clock source backup:
These BBUs can support clock source backup only when these BBUs connect to the
first-level USU in centralized mode. As shown in Figure 3-20, BBU 0 and BBU 2 can
serve as backups of each other.

Parameter Description 3 Technical Description

NOTE

In the figures in this section, the arrows indicate the transmission directions of clock signals.
l When two first-level USUs provide clock source backup:
These USUs can provide clock source backup only when these USUs connect to second-
level USUs in centralized mode. As shown in Figure 3-21, USU 1 and USU 2 can serve
as backups of each other.

Figure 3-21 Example 2

In distributed Cloud BB mode, clock signals are transmitted unidirectionally. The first-
level USU configured with a clock source can only provide clock signals to the second-
level USU, but cannot receive signals from the second-level USU. If the clock source of
the first-level USU is faulty, this USU cannot receive clock signals from other first-level
USUs. Therefore, if first-level USUs connect to second-level USUs in distributed Cloud
BB mode, first-level USUs cannot serve as backups for themselves. As shown in Figure
3-22, if the clock source of USU 1 is faulty, BBUs 2 and 3 cannot receive clock signals
from USU 2.

Figure 3-22 Example 3

l When two second-level USUs provide clock source backup:

If a second-level USU that does not function as a server is configured with the clock
source, the clock signals can be transmitted to other NEs through second-level USUs that
function as servers, as shown in Figure 3-23.

System Capacity
Multi-BBU interconnection has no impact on system capacity. However, the services
supported by multi-BBU interconnection (as described in 3.1 Introduction) can increase
system capacity after multi-BBU interconnection is enabled. This is because multi-BBU
interconnection facilitates inter-BBU cell coordination.
For details about the impact of related features on system capacity, see relevant feature
parameter description documentations, such as UL CoMP and SFN.

Network Performance
Multi-BBU interconnection has no impact on network performance. However, the services
supported by multi-BBU interconnection (as described in 3.1 Introduction) can enhance
network performance after multi-BBU interconnection is enabled. This is because multi-BBU
interconnection facilitates inter-BBU cell coordination.

6.1 When to Use

This feature applies to the following scenarios:
l Coordination between cells served by different eNodeBs is required when one of the
coordination-based features is enabled. For details about these features, see 3.1
Introduction.
l NEs on a Cloud BB network share GPS, BeiDou, or IP clock signals.

6.2 Required Information

Collect the initial configurations of the BBUs and USUs involved in multi-BBU
interconnection. For details, see 3900 & 5900 Series Base Station Initial Configuration Guide
and USU3910 Initial Configuration Guide.

6.3 Planning
Network Planning
l Multi-BBU interconnection has no impact on the existing transmission over the S1 or X2
interface or operation and maintenance (O&M) channel. The transmission plan in multi-
BBU interconnection scenarios is the same as that when BBUs are not interconnected. A
transmission link between a BBU and USU must be added to implement inter-BBU cell
coordination.
l A USU must set up an O&M channel with the U2000 through the FE/GE0 or FE/GE1
port.

Hardware Planning
For details on BBU and USU installation positions in cabinets, see Base Station Cabinets and
Subracks (Including the BBU Subrack) Configuration. After the installation positions have
been planned, plan USU hardware according to 3.2.1 Interconnection Between BBUs and
One First-Level USU and 3.2.2 Interconnection Between BBUs and Two Levels of USUs.
