DPMU and PSU
The wiring unit is connected to the external power supply through the terminals for L and N wires, and leads the power to the PSU through the backplane.
The PSU converts the input power into the -48 V DC power.
The DPMU monitors the operating status of the PSU.
The wiring unit provides -48 V DC power outputs through LOAD1(-), LOAD2(-), and RTN(+).

Page36
Main Functions of PSU
There are 2 kinds of Power Supply Unit (PSU), AC/DC and DC/DC. AC/DC PSU converts 220V to -48V; DC/DC PSU converts +24V to -48V
The AC/DC and DC/DC PSU monitor alarms related to module faults (such as output overvoltage, no output, and fan faults), alarms related to module protection (such as overtemperature protection, and input overvoltage/undervoltage protection), and power failure alarm

Power Distribution Mode 1
The BTS3900 cabinet can use three types of power inputs, namely, -48 V DC, +24 V DC, and 220 V AC.
If the external -48 V DC power input is used, no additional power system is required. The external -48 V DC power input is directly connected to the power input terminals on the DCDU (10 outputs). Then, the DCDU distributes the -48 V DC power to each module in the cabinet.
Copyright © 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.
Page41
Power Distribution Mode 2
When the external +24 V DC power or +220V AC power is used, PSUs and a cable in/out unit are configured in the cabinet. The PSUs convert the external power into the -48 V DC power and supply the -48 V DC power to the DCDU Then, the DCDU distributes the -48 V DC power to each module in the cabinet.
Copyright © 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.
Page42
Power Distribution Mode 3
This is the power distribution when a -48 V DC cabinet is stacked on a +24 V DC cabinet or +220V AC cabinet. The PSUs convert the external +24 V DC or +220VAC power into the -48 V DC power and supply -48 V DC power to the DCDUs in both cabinets. Then, the DCDUs distribute the -48 V DC power to the modules in both cabinets.

BTS3900 Topologies - Star
The star topology applies to common areas, especially densely populated areas, such as cities.
Advantages
In the star topology, each site is directly connected to the BSC. It has the following features:
Easy networking
Easy project implementation
Easy network maintenance
Easy network expansion
High network reliability
Disadvantages
Compared with other topologies, the star topology requires more transmission cables.
Copyright © 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.
Page84
BTS3900 Topologies - Chain
The chain topology applies to sparsely populated areas in strip-like terrain, such as areas along highways and railway tracks.
Advantages
The chain topology reduces cost in transmission equipment, construction, and transmission link lease.
Disadvantages
As signals through many nodes, the transmission reliability in the chain topology is reduced.
The faults in the upper-level BTSs may afect the lower-level BTSs.
The number of levels in a chain network should not exceed five.

Page85
BTS3900 Topologies - Tree
The tree topology applies to areas where network structures, site distribution, and subscriber distribution are complicated, for example, an area where large-scale coverage overlaps hot spot or small-scale coverage.
Advantages
The tree topology requires fewer transmission cables compared with the star topology.
Disadvantages
As signals through many nodes, the transmission reliability is reduced. This makes it difficult for maintenance and engineering. The faults in the upper-level BTSs may afect the lower-level BTSs. Capacity expansion is difficult. The number of levels in the tree should not exceed five.

Page86
BTS3900 Topologies - Ring
The ring topology applies to common scenarios. Due to its strong self-healing capability, the ring topology is preferred if permitted by the routing.
Advantages
If there is a breaking point in the ring, the ring breaks into two chains at the breaking point automatically. In this way, the BTSs preceding and following the breaking point can work normally despite the breaking point; thus improving the robustness of the system.
Disadvantages
In the ring topology, there is always a link section that does not transfer data.

Basic Configuration Principles
A single BTS3900/BTS3900A cabinet provides up to 12 carriers with the maximum cell configuration of S4/4/4, and s the dual-band application.
Minimum cost
Smooth upgrade of configuration
Antenna configuration principles
Minimum number of DRFUs
Minimum number of BBUs
Highest reliability
Mode of configuring two TRXs in one sector

Page90
RF Configuration Principles
A maximum of three levels of DRFUs can be connected to one BBU.
For S4/4/4 cell configuration and lower configurations, the star topology is recommended between the BBU and the DRFU; for the configuration higher than the S4/4/4 cell configuration, the ring topology is recommended between the BBU and the DRFU.
Minimum number of antennas. Each sector of the BTS must be configured with the minimum number of antennas. For the 2-antenna receive diversity, each sector has two antenna channels; for the 4-antenna receive diversity, each sector has four antenna channels.
Non-combination in the transmit channel. 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. If combination is required, the cavity combiner must be configured outside the DRFU and one combination is recommended.

Page91
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 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 s six RI ports. The star topology is recommended between DRFUs.
