6 Reliability

6.1 System Reliability The BTS3900 improves the system reliability by adopting the design of load sharing and redundancy configuration, and optimizing the technique of detecting/isolating the faults on the board and in the system.

l Redundancy configuration The transmission, power supply, and fan units in the system support redundancy configuration, and the BBU supports load sharing. The BBU and DRFUs/GRFUs form a ring. When a DRFU/GRFU in the ring fails, anticlockwise switchover is performed; thus greatly improving the system reliability. Crucial system data such as software releases and data configuration files, is backed up to ensure the normal system operation in case of data corruption.

l Reliability The BTS3900 system can automatically detect and diagnose the faults in the software and hardware, and reports the fault alarms. In addition, the BTS3900 can monitor the environment and report environment alarms.

6.2 Hardware Reliability l Overcurrent protection

The power system of the BBU and DRFU/GRFU is protected against overcurrent, improper insertion, and inverse insertion.

l Overtemperature protection The BBU and DRFU/GRFU are protected against high temperature. When the internal temperature is high, the system automatically performs power derating or switches off the power amplifier based on the current temperature. When the temperature reverts to the normal value, the system increases the power level or switches on the power amplifier.

l Monitoring mechanism The BBU can monitor the environment and report alarms.

l Stable power supply

− Provides a wide range of input voltages and surge protection − Protects the programs and data of the system in case of power failure − Protects the board against overvoltage, overcurrent, and reverse connection

of positive and negative poles l Perfect surge protection

A 1 U-high surge protection box is provided for surge protection. Surge protection measures are taken for the AC/DC ports, input/output signal ports of the cabinet (E1 port and Boolean port), antenna port, and GPS port.

6.3 Software Reliability Software reliability is guaranteed through data redundancy and powerful error tolerance.

6.3.1 Data Redundancy Important files, such as software releases and configuration files, and crucial system data are backed up to ensure the normal system operation in case of data corruption.

l Redundancy of software releases The system backs up the software releases, including the BOOTROM, in different partitions. When a software release is faulty, the backup release can be used.

l Redundancy of data configuration files The system backs up the data configuration files in different partitions. When the running data configuration files are corrupted, the backup data configuration files can be used.

l Redundancy of the operation logs The system records the user operations in a certain period and backs up the information in the operation logs. When the system incurs an unknown error, the maintenance personnel can locate the problem by tracing back to the normal status, or perform the data restoration.

6.3.2 Error Tolerance The error-tolerance ability prevents the system crash due to the software error. That is, the system has the self-healing ability. The capabilities of the software in error tolerance are as follows:

l Scheduled detection on the crucial resources Usage check is performed on the software in the system to release the suspended software resources, and generate logs and alarms.

l Task monitoring During the software running, the monitoring process monitors all the tasks. When an error occurs in the software or the hardware is faulty, the monitoring process reports alarms and attempts to restore the normal running of the software.

l Data check The system checks data consistency on a regular or an event-triggering basis, restores data consistency selectively or preferably, and generates related logs and alarms.

B Glossary

A

Abis interface An interface between the BSC and the BTS.

Antenna A device that performs conversion between the electricity energy and the magnetic energy. It is used to radiate and collect radio waves. In transmission, it converts the high-frequency current to the electromagnetic wave; in reception, it converts the electromagnetic wave to the high-frequency current.

B

Baseband A form of modulation in which the information is applied directly onto the physical transmission medium.

BSS Base station system. A system comprises BSCs and the BTSs under the BSCs. The BSS is controlled by the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) and communicates with the MS in the radio coverage area.

BTS Base transceiver station. The mobile communications system consists of the MS, BSS, and the NSS. The BSS consists of the BTS and the base station controller (BSC).

C

Carrier A sine wave, whose bandwidth is much higher than the bandwidth of a signal and, which can be identified by amplitude, frequency, and phase.

D

Double-transceiver A mode in which a board provides two TRXs.

EDGE Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution. A mobile telephony technology for enhanced data based on the GSM/GPRS network. It is also called the 2.75 generation technology. As a high-speed mobile data standard that remarkably improves the efficiency of the GPRS channel encoding, EDGE allows the data rate up to 384 kbit/s; thus fully meeting the broadband requirements of radio multi-media applications in the future.

F

Transmit diversity A method to realize the man-made multi-path which optimizes the downlink signals.

G

GPRS General Packet Radio Service. A new mobile data service available to almost every GSM system. It is a connectivity solution based on Internet Protocols that supports a wide range of end-to-end and WAN applications. GPRS is a technology between the second (2G) and third (3G) generations of mobile telephony, which combines the mobile communication and the data network and introduces the IP technology into the GSM network.

GSM The Global System for Mobile Communications is originally developed as a pan-European standard for digital mobile telephony. GSM has become the world's most widely used mobile system. It is used on the 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, and 1900 MHz frequencies with the transmission rate as 9.6 kbit/s.

H

Handover A transfer of a user’s connection from one radio channel to another (can be the same or different cells).

R

Receive diversity

The most common type of diversity, where a mobile device uses two physically separate antennas to combine signals from the two antennas to reduce the impact of spatial variations in signal strength and thus increase the average data rate available - sometimes dramatically.

S

SDH Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. A communication transmission standard defined by the ITU-T. It is derived from the Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH).

T

TMA Tower Mounted Amplifier. A low noise amplifier installed close to the antenna.

TRX Transceiver. An entity that serves up to eight TCHFs in full-duplex mode. If the low-speed FH is not used, a transceiver serves one RF carrier.
