Chapter 1 Overview

Signal Flow of the BTS3012
The BTS3012 signal flow is associated with the traffic and
signaling of the BTS.
The BTS3012 signal flow consists of:
DL traffic signal flow

UL traffic signal flow
Signaling processing signal flow
Signal flow for cabinet groups

DL Traffic Signal Flow of the BTS3012

DL Traffic Signal Flow
The DL traffic signal flow is as follows:
The BSC sends E1 signals to the DELC through E1 cables.
The DELC provides lightning protection for the received E1 signals, and then
sends the E1 signals to the DCTB.
The DCTB sends the E1 signals to the DCCU through the TOP signal cable
connecting the DCTB with the DCCU/DSCU.
The DCCU sends the E1 signals to the DTMU through the ECMB.
On receiving the signals, the DTMU converts the E1 signals through the DBUS.
The DTMU also assigns the data based on the data configuration on the OML.
Then, the signals are sent to the DCSU and the DTRUs in DTRU subrack 0
through the ECMB.
The DCSU sends the signals to the DTRB in DTRU subrack 1 through the signal
cable between the DCSU and the DTRB.
The DTRB sends the signals to the DTRUs in DTRU subrack 1.
After receiving the signals, the DTRUs in the two DTRU subracks perform digital
filtering, up-conversion, and filter amplification, and then send the signals to the
DDPU/DFCU/DFCB.
The duplexer in the DDPU/DFCU/DFCB filters the signals from the DTRU, and
then sends the signals to the antenna subsystem for transmission.

UL Traffic Signal Flow of the BTS3012

UL Traffic Signal Flow
The UL traffic signal flow is as follows:
The antenna receives the signals from the MS. After being amplified by the
TMA, the signals are transmitted to the DDPU/DFCU/DFCB through the
feeder. The TMA is optional. It is used to compensate the feeder loss and
enhance receive sensitivity of the DDPU/DFCU/DFCB antenna port.
The DDPU/DFCU/DFCB receives the UL signals and transmits the signals
to the DTRUs in the two DTRU subracks after they are filtered by the
duplexer and amplified by the lower noise amplifier (LNA).
The DTRU in DTRU subrack 1 receives the signals from the
DDPU/DFCU/DFCB and transmits the signals to the DTRB after
amplification and down-conversion.
The DTRB sends the signals to the DCSU.

UL Traffic Signal Flow
The DCSU sends the signals to the DTMU through the ECMB. In
addition, the DTRU in DTRU subrack 0 receives the signals from the
DDPU/DFCU/DFCB, and transmits the signals to the DTMU through the
ECMB after amplification and down conversion.
The DTMU backs up the E1 signals and converts the E1 signals
through the DBUS. The DTMU then sends the converted signals to the
DCCU through the ECMB.
The DCCU sends the signals to the DCTB through the TOP signal cable
connecting the DCTB with the DCCU/DSCU.
The DCTB sends the signals to the DELC.
The DELC provides lightning protection for the signals. Then, it sends
the signals to the BSC through the E1 cables.

Signaling Flow of the BTS3012

Signaling processing flow
The signaling processing flow is as follows:
The BSC sends the signaling data to the DTMU of the BTS.
After processing the signaling, the DTMU sends the signaling to the
DTRU and DDPU (DFCU or DFCB).
The DTRU and DDPU (DFCU or DFCB) report their board status to
the DTMU.
The DTMU obtains the status of the BTS3012 by collecting and
analyzing the states of all the boards. Then, it transmits the
information to the BSC through the Abis interface.

Signal Flow of BTS3012 Cabinet Groups
The signal flow of BTS3012 cabinet groups refers to the signal flow
between the main cabinet group and the extension cabinet groups.
The signal flow of cabinet groups involves clock signals and control
signals.
Bus connection between BTS3012 cabinet groups is shown as
follows:

DTMU cabinet
Clock distribution

cabinets
Boards in slave
cabinet

Clock Signals Description
The clock signal flow includes the following steps:
The external reference clock is transmitted to the clock

module in the DTMU through the Abis interface
The clock module performs phase lock and frequency
division on the clock signals to generate different clock
signals for BTSs
The clock signals are transmitted to the modules in the
main cabinet such as the DTRU and the DDPU
The clock signals are transmitted to the modules in the
slave cabinets through the clock distribution cable

Chapter 1 Overview

Configuration Principles for the BTS3012
Configure the BTS3012 according to the following principles:
Use a minimum number of antennas.

Use a minimum number of cabinets.
Configure all the TRXs that belong to one synchronized cell in one
cabinet group.
Adhere to the following principles when configuring the BTS3012 cabinets:
If less than 18 TRXs are required in the synchronized cells of a site, use
one cabinet to configure the site.
If more than 18 TRXs are required in the synchronized cells of a site, use
cabinet groups to configure the site.

Configuration Features for the BTS3012
The BTS3012 has the following features in terms of configuration:
Supports omnidirectional cell coverage and directional cell coverage

Supports the grouping of three cabinets
The RF TX mode supports wideband combining, PBT, transmit diversity,
and non-combining. The DTRU connected to the DFCU does not support
the wideband combining mechanism.
The RF RX mode supports the receive diversity, independent receive,
and four-way receive diversity.
