BTS3900 Configuration Principles
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.

Page 50
BTS3900 Configuration Principle
Configuration Principles of DRFU
A single DRFU does not support the S1/1 application; however, three DRFUs
support the S3/3 application.
The cell configuration of S4 and lower configurations use a single antenna, the
configurations of S5 to S8 use a double antenna, and the configurations of S8 to
S12 use a triple antenna.
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.


Page 51
DRFU Internal Structure
2 TRXs and 2 duplexers are integrated in DRFU module which can be
connected to antenna directly.
The RX_IN/OUT port of DRFU can support the receiving signal
interconnection between 2 DRFUs, so that it can support the diversity
receiving between 2 DRFUs.

Page 52
DRFU Antenna Mode
Single antenna, double receivers
The DRFU module has 1 working TX/RX feeder and 2 way receive diversity, one
of the receiver is from the another DRFU.
Double antennas
The DRFU module has 2 working TX/RX feeders and 2 way receive diversity.
Double antennas, 4 receivers
The DRFU has 2 working TX/RX feeders and 4 way receive diversity.
