Structure of ZTE SDR base station n

n n n n

Support the distributed structure of BBU and RRU. For traditional base stations, BBU and RRU should be in the same module. Multi-mode RF platform Adopt IP technology to process internal data stream of the base station OMC platform——OMCR and OMCB Unified software platform

The distributed structure of BBU and RRU and R&D on a unified platform are the core of the SDR base stations. The new structure meets the demand and technology required by the market.

Macro base station: BBU and RU are all in the cabinet, which is different from the distributed base station in structure.

Advantage 1 of the SDR architecture – BBU and RRU can be distributed separately In this mode, both BBU and RRU and maximize their efficiency. BBU can achieve the maximum integration, and RRU can focus on the power of itself. n The networking is flexible if the RRU is distributed remotely. For example, it can support multi-carrier and indoor distributed coverage. n BBU and RRU can be distributed flexibly, which benefit for compatibility design. n

Advantage 4 of the SDR architecture – unified interface between BBU and RU/RRU n n n n n n n

The interface between BBU and RU/RRU is the exclusive interface for communication between BBU and RU/RRU . The interface between BBU and RU/RRU supports such radio modes as GSM, WCDMA etc. Support fiber interface and electrical interface Support 1.2288Gbps and 2.4576Gbps rate Support both star-type and link-type networking between BBU and RU/RRU Support RU/RRU cascading-connection RRU can be distributed remotely. BBU can be kept 40 km away from RRU.

Indoor dual mode macro base station – ZXSDR BS8800 n

BS8800 is developed on ZTE’s unified platform. The rack includes the physical cabinet, PDM unit and FAN unit.

n

BBU and the RU modules all adopt － 48V DC power supply.

n

All of the RU modules have the same size and outline.

n

The fan rotation speed can be adjusted by the software according to different heat discharge requirements for different RU modules, thus to lower down noises and achieve energy efficient.

n

BS8800 has been used in the products of the three radio modes, such as GSM, CDMA and UMTS.
