3 General1

This module interface specification focuses on the physical interface requirements of 2the BBM. The actual BTS and BBM designs are out of the scope of this document. 3Guidelines for implementation are given where appropriate.4

3.1 Topology and Dimensioning Requirements5

The BTS internal interface provided by the BBM supports the following functions:6

� Control and Management Plane message transfer to and from the Control 7and Clock Modules (CCMs) via RP18

� User Plane data transfer to and from the Transport Modules (TMs) via RP29

� Baseband data transfer to and from the Radio Frequency Modules (RFMs) 10via RP311

All Control and Management Plane data, as well as all User Plane data is transferred 12to the BBM via a single, optionally redundant, Ethernet network. The BBM shall 13contain two Ethernet fabric ports for connection to this network. The first fabric port 14connects the BBM to the primary Ethernet network. The second fabric port connects 15the BBM to the secondary (redundant) Ethernet network, if one is present in the 16system. 17

The fabric ports shall be implemented as Ethernet type 100Base-TX or 1000Base-T. 18The 1000Base-T option allows for high capacity BBMs that may need higher 19throughput than 100Base-T can provide. In either case, both Ethernet interfaces on 20the BBM shall be of the same type.21

The OBSAI architecture supports different system configurations, and along with that, 22different numbers of BBMs and RFMs per system. Each BBM shall have up to 9 23pairs of unidirectional links with differential signaling toward the RP3 interface. See 24the RP3 Reference Point Specification [OBSAI RP3] for detailed dimensioning 25information.26

BBM redundancy is optionally supported by an N+1 redundancy scheme.27

3.2 Hot Insertion and Removal1

All signals shall support hot insertion and removal. Hot insertion is supported on the 2module by delayed (insertion) and early (removal) switch on/off of the power supply,3by means of a last mating enable pin at the power connector. Every source and sink 4of a signal shall survive without any damage, if the connected signal is within its 5specified operating range.6

Table 3-1 BBM Signal Abbreviations5

The signal name abbreviation is followed by a numerical index to distinguish between 6several instances of a signal inside a signal group. The index starts with the value 7“0”.8

Additionally a direction indication is attached for signal groups with receive (_RX), 9transmit (_TX) or bidirectional (_BI) signals, if there is a need to distinguish between 10them. The direction is derived from the physical characteristics at the module 11boundary. The direction of signals not explicitly indicated by the signal name is 12specified in the signal list (section 4.1), or left unspecified intentionally.13

A signal group supporting more than one differential pair (e.g. 1000 Base-T) uses 3alpha letters starting with “DA” (e.g. DA, DB, DC, …).4

Finally differential pair signals are denoted by a trailing + (positive) or – (negative) 5symbol.6

3.4 Connector Naming and Orientation1

Definitions:2

� Female connectors use the reference designator prefix J3

� Male connectors use the reference designator prefix P4

� Mechanical guiding pins use the reference designator prefix G5

� Mechanical guiding holes use the reference designator prefix H6

A numerical index follows the designator prefix. 7

The following rule applies to the module:8

This concept also applies to the backplane connectors. Although this is not included 11within the scope of this specification, it is nevertheless recommended that users12follow this guidance. In addition to the module index the backplane has a slot index, 13which references the slot position.14

The following rule applies to the backplane:15

4.2 Signal Specification1

This chapter specifies the BBM interface signals at the BBM boundary. The data and 2power connector signals are differentiated in 4 groups:3

� Common Signals4

� BBM Specific Signals5

� BBM Unspecified Signals6

� Power7

If necessary, additional requirements for the implementation are given in the relevant8signal subchapter.9

4.2.1 Common Signals10

Common signals are common to all modules and shall be supported. Common 11Signals are assigned to fixed pin positions within the data connector J1, which is 12present at all modules.13

4.2.1.1 Module and Shelf address14

The module (MA[0..4]) and shelf address signals (SA[0..2]) are used to give the 15module a unique hardwired address related to the shelf and slot position of the 16module. 17

The BBM shall pull the address pins up. An address bit logic one is indicated by 18leaving the address pin unconnected on the backplane. A logic zero is indicated 19through connecting the respective pin to logic ground on the backplane.20

The address signals are static.21

4.2.1.2 System Clock Input22

The CCM provides a 30.72MHz System Clock to the BBM modules in the shelf. This 23System Clock can be used as a frequency reference for transmission on the RP3 24links.25

The System Clock links in the system are point-to-point links. The BBM shall have 26two differential clock inputs - one from each of the two CCMs, which together form a 27redundant pair.28

The System Clock timing parameters are specified in the RP1 Specification [OBSAI 29RP1].30

OPEN BASE STATION ARCHITECTURE INITIATIVE

Issue 1.0 18 (27)

The electrical receiver characteristic of the BBM System Clock input shall follow the 1LVDS standard ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-A [ANSI1]. 2

The BBM shall terminate these backplane links with a differential impedance of 3100 � � 20%.4

Differential Input Impedance ZIN 80 100 120 �

Table 4-2 System Clock Electrical Parameters6

In the BBM power-down state, the receiver input shall be in a high impedance state.7

4.2.1.3 Ethernet Fabric Ports8

The common fabric ports 0 and 1 are available on every module in the shelf. On the 9BBM module these ports can be realized in two variants:10

� Fast Ethernet [100Base-TX] according to [IEEE 802.3] clause 2511

� Gigabit Ethernet [100/1000Base-T] according to [IEEE 802.3] clause 4012

The Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are not mandatory, but may be required in certain 13system configurations to support High-Capacity BBMs. Please refer to the OBSAI 14System Specification [OBSAI System] for more details.15

The data connector supports both types. In the case that the fabric ports use Fast 16Ethernet, the unused fabric port pins (quantity 4 per port) shall be left as MNC.17

OPEN BASE STATION ARCHITECTURE INITIATIVE

Issue 1.0 19 (27)

4.2.2 BBM Specific Signals1

BBM specific signals are specific to the BBM and shall be supported. BBM specific 2signals are assigned to fixed pin positions at the data connector J1.3

4.2.2.1 Synchronization Signal4

The Synchronization Signal input provides frame timing and time stamping in the 5form of Synchronization Bursts. These bursts of information are synchronous to the 6System Clock and have timing parameters and data formatting as specified in the 7RP1 Reference Point Specification [OBSAI RP1].8

The Synchronization Signals present in the system are point-to-point links. The BBM 9shall have two differential inputs - one from each of the two CCMs, which together 10form a redundant pair.11

The electrical receiver characteristic of the BBM Synchronization Signal inputs shall 12follow the LVDS standard ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-A [ANSI1]. 13

In addition to the timing and data formatting requirements indicated in [OBSAI RP1], 14the BBM shall accept the “TIN_SYNC” setup timing parameter as described in Figure154-1 and Table 4-3.16

4.2.2.2 RP3 Links4

The BBM connects to RFMs or to a Combiner/Distributor unit through RP3 Links. An5RP3 Link consists of a pair of unidirectional links, one being an incoming signal, and 6the other being an outgoing signal. 7

Since different system configurations call for differing numbers of BBMs and RFMs, 8there will exist some unused RP3 Links in some system configurations. All unused 9links shall be disabled for power conservation purposes.10

In the BBM power-down state, the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs shall be in 11a high impedance state.12

Refer to the RP3 Reference Point Specification [OBSAI RP3] for other detailed 13electrical specifications of these links.14

4.2.3 BBM Unspecified Signals1

BBM Unspecified Signals are optional. Their functional and electrical characteristics 2are not specified. If present, BBM Unspecified Signals shall be located on the data 3connector J2.4

Since they are not specified by OBSAI, connecting BBM Unspecified Signals may 5cause incompatibility with certain backplane configurations.6
