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

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.

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 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.
