Tree networking mode
Advantages
The advantage of the tree networking mode over the star networking mode is that the former
lowers the costs of the transmission equipment, the costs of engineering projects, and the
rental of transmission links.
Disadvantages
z
Signals travel through many nodes, which cause low transmission reliability and
construction and maintenance difficulties.
z
Faults in upper-level BTSs may affect the normal operation of lower-level BTSs.
z
Capacity expansion is difficult because it may require extensive network reconstruction.
z
The number of tree levels cannot exceed three.
