2Overview
2.1 Introduction
USU3900-based multi-BBU interconnection (multi-BBU interconnection for short) allows
two or more baseband units (BBUs) to communicate with each other and process services by
connecting the BBUs and universal switching units (USUs).
BBUs and USUs are connected using the following types of cables:
l Infrastructure interconnection cable
This type of cable connects the cascading interface (CI) port on the main control board in
a BBU and an M port (M0 to M4) on the universal inter-connection infrastructure unit(UCIU) in a USU or connects the CI port on the switch main processing & transmission
unit (SMPT) in a first-level USU and an M port (M0 to M4) on the UCIU in the second-
level USU. The cable transmits control information about the topology, clock, heartbeat,
and inter-cell link setup and release.
l Baseband interconnection cable
This type of cable connects the high speed extension interface (HEI) port on a baseband
processing unit (BBP) in a BBU and an M port (M0 to M4/S1) on a universal inter-
connection extension unit (UCXU) in a USU or connects the M5/S0 port on a UCXU in
a first-level USU and an M port (M0 to M4/S1) on a UCXU in the second-level USU.
The cable transmits cell coordination information.
2.2 Benefits
Multi-BBU interconnection provides the following benefits:
l Helps achieve coordination between inter-BBU cells when features, such as
LAOFD-001003 Carrier Aggregation for 2CC based on Coordinated BBU), are enabled.
l Reduces the number of required Global Positioning System (GPS) antennas because
interconnected BBUs can share GPS clock sources.
NOTE
The GPS clock source includes the RGPS clock source.

After BBUs are interconnected, each of the eNodeBs and USUs functions as an independent
network element (NE) in the network management system.
In multi-BBU interconnection scenarios, each eNodeB must meet both of the following
requirements:
l The eNodeB works in LTE-only mode. Multimode base stations cannot be connected to
a USU3900.
l The eNodeB is equipped with only one BBU. An eNodeB equipped with two or more
BBUs cannot be connected to a USU3900.

Figure 3-4Method 4
When one of interconnected BBUs is configured with a clock source (such as BBU4 in
Figure 3-2or Figure 3-3), these BBUs can share the clock source as follows:
1. BBU4 transmits clock signals to the USU.
2. The USU transmits the signals to other connected BBUs.
Cable Connection Principles
The cable connections are as follows:
l An infrastructure interconnection cable connects the CI port on the UMPT in a BBU toone of ports M0 to M4 on the UCIU in the USU.
NOTE
The M0, M1, M2, M3, and M4 ports are prioritized in descending order.
l A baseband interconnection cable connects the HEI port on the BBP in a BBU to one of
ports M0 to M4/S1 on a UCXU in the USU.
NOTE
The M0, M1, M2, M3, and M4/S1 ports are prioritized in descending order.
l An infrastructure interconnection cable functions as a logical control link. On the control
link between a BBU and the USU, the USU port is the upstream port of the BBU port bydefault.

Application Scenarios
Table 3-2shows the application scenarios for the interconnection between BBUs and a USU.
Table 3-2Application scenarios for the interconnection between BBUs and a USU

2 Slots 2 and 3 Slots 2 and 3
3 Slots 1 to 3 Slots 1 to 3
4 Slots 0 to 3 Slots 0 to 3
5 Slots 0 to 4 Slots 0 to 4
In the LTE system, slots 4, 0, 1, 2, and 3 for BBPs are prioritized in ascending order. A BBP
can be installed in slot 5 but this BBP cannot be connected to the USU.
Through the backplane, BBPs that are not connected to the USU transfer cell coordination
information to the BBPs that are connected to the USU by using baseband interconnection
cables. Then, BBUs exchange the cell coordination information through the USU to
implement inter-BBU cell coordination.
Restrictions
Restrictions on the interconnection between BBUs and a USU are as follows:
l Two to five BBUs can be connected to the USU.
l The USU can house a maximum of five UCXUs and one UCIU. The UCIU is always
installed in slot 5.
l The number of UCXUs to be configured depends on the number of BBPs in a BBU to be
connected to the UCXUs. The upper limit is 5 for LTE.
For example, when three LBBPd boards in a BBU need to be connected to UCXUs,
three UCXUs are required.l The slot numbers of the two boards connected by an infrastructure interconnection cable
must be the same.
For example, if a BBP is installed in slot 3 of a BBU, the UCXU connected to the BBP
must also be installed in slot 3 of the USU.
l A BBU must be connected to the ports with the same number on the UCIU and UCXUs
in a USU using an infrastructure interconnection cable and baseband interconnection
cables, respectively.
For example, if a BBU is connected to the M0 port on the UCIU in a USU, the BBU
must be connected to the M0 ports on the UCXUs in the USU.
l
In a BBU that is connected to the USU, the main control board must be a UMPT(UMPTa or UMPTb), and the BBPs must be UBBPd or LBBPd boards.

Figure 3-8Method 4
When one of interconnected BBUs is configured with a clock source (such as BBU0 in
Figure 3-6or Figure 3-7), these BBUs can share the clock source as follows:
1. BBU0 transmits clock signals to the first-level USU (USU0) connected to BBU0.
2. USU0 transmits the signals to the second-level USU and the other connected BBUs.
3. The second-level USU transmits the signals to the other first-level USUs.
4. The other first-level USUs transmit the signals to their connected BBUs.
Cable Connection Principles
The cable connections between two levels of USUs are as follows:
l An infrastructure interconnection cable connects the CI port on the SMPT of a first-level
USU to one of ports M0 to M4 on the UCIU of the second-level USU.
NOTE
The M0, M1, M2, M3, and M4 ports are prioritized in descending order.
l A baseband interconnection cable connects the M5/S0 port on a UCXU of the first-level
USU to one of ports M0 to M4/S1 on the UCXU of the second-level USU.
NOTE
The M0, M1, M2, M3, and M4/S1 ports are prioritized in descending order.

Restrictions
Restrictions on the interconnection between BBUs and two levels of USUs are as follows:
l When BBUs share GPS or RGPS clock sources, a maximum of five first-level USUs can
be connected to the second-level USU. When carrier aggregation for 2CC based on
coordinated BBU is enabled in the LTE FDD system, a maximum of three first-level
USUs can be connected to the second-level USU. When inter-BBU adaptive SFN/
SDMA is enabled in the LTE TDD system, only two first-level USUs can be connected
to the second-level USU.
l The USU can house a maximum of five UCXUs and one UCIU. The UCIU is alwaysinstalled in slot 5.
l The slot number of the two boards connected by a baseband interconnection cable must
be the same.
For example, the UCXU connected to the UCXU in slot 3 of a first-level USU must also
be installed in slot 3 of the second-level USU.
l A first-level USU must be connected to the ports with the same number on the UCIU and
UCXUs in the second-level USU using an infrastructure interconnection cable and
baseband interconnection cables, respectively.
For example, if a first-level USU is connected to the M0 port on the UCIU in the second-
level USU, this first-level USU must be connected to the M0 ports on the UCXUs in the
second-level USU.
l In a BBU that is connected to a USU, the main control board must be a UMPT (UMPTa
or UMPTb), and the BBPs must be UBBPd or LBBPd boards.

LOFD-081220 Inter-BBU Clock Sharing.
After BBUs are interconnected, links on the user and control planes are automatically set up
without manual configuration. To meet the time synchronization requirements of cell
coordination between interconnected BBUs, one of the following clock synchronization
solutions can be used:
l Solution 1: Each BBU is configured with a clock source for time synchronization, and
the USU clock can work in free-run mode.
l Solution 2: One BBU is configured with the GPS clock source (including the RGPS
clock source) for time synchronization and shares the clock source with its
interconnected BBUs.
Both of the preceding solutions apply to inter-BBU cell coordination in LTE FDD and LTE
TDD systems.

Figure 4-1shows clock synchronization solution 1.
Figure 4-1Clock synchronization solution 1
4.2 Solution 2
This solution applies when a GPS clock source is shared among multiple eNodeBs. In this
solution, when BBUs are interconnected and one eNodeB obtains a GPS clock source, other
eNodeBs can share the GPS clock source, as shown in Figure 4-2.
Two eNodeBs can provide clock sources for backup to ensure that clock signals are available
for time synchronization when the clock source on one of the eNodeBs is faulty.

Step 4 Run the SET CASCADEPORTcommands on BBU5, BBU6, BBU7, USU0, USU1, andUSU2 to enable the ports required for interconnection: On BBU5 to BBU7, enable the CI
ports on the UMPTs and the HEI ports on the BBPs. On USU0, enable the CI port on the
SMPT and the S ports on the UCXUs. On USU1, enable the CI port on the SMPT, the M0,
M1, M2, and S0 ports on the UCXUs, and the M0, M1, and M2 ports on the UCIU. On
USU2, enable the M0 and M1 ports on the UCXUs and UCIU.
NOTE
The alarm generated on an interconnection port can be reported only after the port is enabled. If you do
not need to use an interconnection port, do not enable it.

7.6 Troubleshooting
Alarms related to multi-BBU interconnection are reported due to the following reasons:
l Two or more NEs involved in multi-BBU interconnection are configured with the same
ODI ID.
l An optical module for connecting a BBU and a USU is faulty or cannot be detected, data
transmission or receiving fails on the optical port where the optical module is installed,or the optical port where the optical module is installed is faulty.
