1 Overview
1.1 Positioning
By keeping up with the rapid development in the field of wireless communications, the
wireless communication network becomes more reliable. However, for the blind spot
coverage and private network with specific coverage, capacity, and service requirements,
more flexible solutions are required. Customer-oriented and innovative, Huawei unveils the
industry-leading BTS3900B GSM compact pico BTS (hereafter referred to as the BTS3900B).
With the volume of only 2 L, the BTS3900B integrates multiple functional units of the
traditional BTS, enabling multiple functions of the traditional BTS. Incorporated with the
compact and noiseless design, as well as the support of IP transport, the BTS3900B features
flexible site selection possibility and easy installation, enabling fast and cost-effective blind
spot coverage. In addition, the BTS3900B provides effective services to small office buildings
and Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) with the private network.
As an intelligent BTS, the BTS3900B features automatic data configuration, and automatic
frequency configuration, enabling convenient deployment and maintenance of the BTS. The
BTS3900B supports dual-band network configuration and a maximum of two carriers. Figure
1-1 shows the BTS3900B.
1.2 Benefits
Simple Structure and Quick Network Construction
The BTS3900B is 2 L in volume and 1.5 kg in weight, one of the smallest pico BTS ever
developed in the industry. No dedicated equipment room is required for the BTS3900B, and it
can be easily installed by one person with few common tools. The compact and integrated
design of the BTS3900B facilitates installation, removal, and fast deployment. The
BTS3900B supports automatic data configuration, and automatic frequency configuration,
enabling the provision of services in a short time.
2 Architecture
2.1 Overview
The BTS3900B adopts highly integrated design. The functions such as transmission, main
control, baseband processing, RF processing, and power amplifying of the traditional BTS are
all integrated in the BTS3900B. T
2.2 Components
The main components of the BTS3900B consist of the baseband processing board, RF module,
and plastic housing. The baseband processing board processes baseband signals and
implements main control and transmission functions, and the RF module transmits, receives,
and processes RF signals.
If AC power supply is used, the power adapter is required for the BTS3900B. The power
adapter converts the AC power into the working voltage of the BTS3900B. If the PoE mode is
adopted, external PoE power equipment must be configured. The PoE power equipment
supplies power to the BTS3900B through the Ethernet cable. In this case, the power adapter is
not required.
The BTS3900B can be employed with built-in antennas or external antennas. Figure 2-1
shows the BTS3900B with external antennas and BTS3900B with built-in antennas.
2.3 Ports
The ports on the BTS3900B consist of a power supply socket, FE port, USB port, and clock
test port. The BTS3900B also has a reset button.
Figure 2-2shows the ports and button on the BTS3900B.
3 Application Scenarios
3.1 General
The BTS3900B is small and compact, works in mute mode, and occupies a small space.
Therefore, the BTS3900B can easily be installed in a proper place without affecting the life
and work of people. The BTS3900B can be installed on a wall, in the void of a suspended
ceiling, or on a ceiling according to actual conditions. The BTS3900B can be easily and
quickly installed with few common tools. Figure 3-1 shows the typical installation options of
the BTS3900B.
Indoor Coverage
Along with the development of cities, the indoor mobile application has become widespread.
For indoor coverage scenarios, however, operators are facing great challenges from the
perspective of site selection and construction speed. If macro BTSs are used to serve indoor
coverage, operators are frequently confronted with high lease cost of equipment rooms, and
the noises generated by macro BTSs make site acquisition even more difficult. Therefore,
operators are pressing for a BTS that places the equipment room in dispensable and generates
low noises. In indoor coverage scenarios, the BTS may be installed in locations such as the
light-current shaft, or storeroom. Such locations present complicated environment, confined
installation space, and highly difficult installation, which requires the BTS compact, light, and
possessed with strong environment adaptability.
Attributing to its compact structure, zero-noise design, and marvelous performance, the
BTS3900E aids operators in constructing an indoor network with high capacity and good
coverage. Such network, without doubt, brings more benefits for operators. As a signal source,
the BTS3900E, combined with the DAS, can be widely applied in indoor coverage scenarios
that require high capacity and quality, such as hotels, office buildings, supermarkets, and
business centers. Figure 3-2 shows one of the application scenarios.
