Introduction to ZXSDR Products Internal Use Only
一. What is SDR
一.1 Challenge in the Development of Communication Technology
With the increasing communication demands, new technologies come out in
succession. The common concern for communication operators and equipment
suppliers is how to upgrade equipment more flexibly and protect the investment
of operators to greatest extent in the continuous technology updates.
The SDR concept is proposed for this problem.
一.2 SDR Concept
The software defined radio (SDR) is defined as radio in which some or all of
the physical layer functions are software defined.
The traditional communication equipment, namely the hardware radio (HR),
functions through the hardware. Therefore, functions are often improved by
upgrading the equipment. SDR uses the hardware as a general processing
platform and functions through the software. Thus, it provides a more flexible
and low-cost solution. It also supports multiple systems, bands, and functions
through the software.

二. ZTE SDR Solution
Now we have known what SDR technology is. Let’s take a look at SDR
products. First, read the following news:
“On the just-concluded 2008 broadband world forum (BBWF), B8200 and
R8860, the innovative SDR products of ZTE, stood out from various solutions,
winning the InfoVision award issued by IEC. BBWF, hosted by IEC, is an
authorized grant event of the global broadband industry. The InfoVision award
is designed for commending those significant technologies, applications,
products, innovations, and services with special meaning and value in the
Telecom industry. The awardees include enterprises and individuals that have
developed innovative technologies and made great contributions to the society.
Once again, ZTE boasts its leadership in the radio technology field by winning
the top-level award with the innovative SDR product. “(www.sina.com)
However, how can ZTE SDR products (ZXSDR) receive such a honor?
二.1 Why to Select ZXSDR Series BTS
ZTE SDR serial BTS are a brand-new series of radio products designed and
produced by ZTE. They use the advanced SDR technology and their hardware
structure is based on the uniform platform of ZTE, innovatively
supporting multiple radio access methods, including GSM, UMTS, CDMA2000,
and WiMAX. In addition, SDR can be smoothly evolved into the Enhanced
EDGE/LTE.
Currently, the GSM networking mainly uses three types of SDR BTS: the first is
indoor macro BTS, such as ZXSDR B8800 GU306; the second is outdoor macro
BTS, such as ZXSDR B8900 GU306; the third is distributed BTS in which BBU is at
the local end and RU is at the remote end (RRU), such as ZXSDR B8200 GU360 +
ZXSDR B8860 GU906/GU186. For the structure, see Figure 2.1-2.

Figure 2.1-2 Distributed BTS
Compared with the traditional BTS, SDR has the following features aside from
supporting multiple systems such as GSM and UMTS.
二.1.1 High-integrity

Support RU of multiple bands.
BBU supports 60TRX, and RU supports 6TRX/2TRX.
RU60 board supports 6TRX, and RU02 board supports 2TRX.
One fiber supports 24 TRXs.
2G supports a maximum capacity of S666666 or S12/12/12; 3G supports a
maximum of 12CS; the dual mode supports a maximum of S333 + S666
(GSM + UMTS).
Support the smooth evolution to LTE and HSPA+
二.1.2 Flexible Architecture

二.2 Main Differences Between ZXSDR and Traditional 2G BTS
ZXSDR features are described above. Now let's take a look at the main
differences between ZXSDR and traditional 2G BTS.
二.2.1 uTCA-based
uTCA is the abbreviation of the Micro TCA that is the short form of the
advanced Telecom computing architecture (ATCA). As a standard open
architecture, uTCA provides options for communication system design on
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION.
Introduction to ZXSDR Products Internal Use Only
various components of different handovers, ports, protocols and functions,
system architecture, redundancy and high availability.
二.2.2 BBU+RRU Architecture
The separation between baseband and RF can maximize their own
advantages. The baseband can obtain the maximum integrity, while RF
focuses on the maximization of its own power and efficiency. Therefore, the
networking is more flexible. After the separation, the baseband part is called
base band unit (BBU), while the RF part is called remote radio unit (RRU).
Their functions are displayed as shown in Figure 2.2-3.
Figure 2.2-3 Separated Structure of Baseband and RF
BTS is divided into BBU and RRU. One BBU can provide baseband resources
for multiple RRU. Functions of BBU and RRU are as follows:
BBU is responsible for digital baseband signal handling and control
management.
RRU is responsible for handovers between digital baseband signals and
analog signals between RRU and antenna.
BBU is connected to RRU through the baseband-to-RF interface, and it
transmits I/Q digital baseband signals and OAM signaling data. To ensure
the real-time transmission, the interface should be an optical interface
physically.
BBU is connected to BSC/RNC through the Abis/Iub interface.
RRU accesses MS/UE through the Um/Uu interface.
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION.
Introduction to ZXSDR Products Internal Use Only
Note: besides the distributed BTS ZXSDR B8200 GU360 + ZXSDR B8860
GU906/GU186 (see Figure 2.1-2), the baseband and RF of all ZXSDR BTS are
separated. The so-called SDR macro BTS means BBU and RU within a
cabinet. It is still two independent units physically. In addition, BBU in macro
BTS BS8800 and BS8900 uses B8820 directly.
二.2.3 Introduction to OMCB
A traditional 2G BTS (such as BTSV2 and BTSV3) is configured and managed
through OMCR, while the configurations of a SDR BTS should be performed
on LMT or OMCB. OMCR is used to configure some radio data.
The operate and maintenant center for NoedB (OMCB) is the O&M unit that
manages NodeB in the 3GPP. As a dual-mode product supporting GSM and
3G, SDR also supports OMCB. The single-threaded link OMCR BSC BTS
is changed into the dual-threaded link OMCB BTS and OMCR BSC
BTS. For BTS, an upper level is added, as shown in Figure 2.2-4.
Figure 2.2-4 SDR Network Management Structure
Based on the management mode of WCDMA, the board management,
configuration, software downloading, alarm of all SDRs are implemented on
OMCB. For the dual mode, GSM O&M are transferred to OMCB, while OMCR
only manages the GSM-related radio configuration and status management.
This is the difference for OMCR in SDR environment.

二.2.4 IP Abis Interface
The other major difference for a SDR BTS from a traditional 2G BTS is that the
Abis/Iub uses IP protocol. Its physical bearer can be FE/GE or E1/T1 (IP over
E1/T1), but not the E1/T1 of TDM. If E1/T1 is used, BTS can fully use the
existing transmission equipment to save the user investment; if FE/GE is used,
BTS will obtain more bandwidth, which is oriented to the communication
system evolution to all IP.
二.2.5 Multi-carrier Combination
The multi-carrier combination (MCUM) is the product of the introduction of 3G
OTSR into the GSM system. To satisfy the complicated coverage requirements
and special applications of high-speed movement (such as high-speed railway
and freeway), the SDR can cover a single cell using antennas of different
angles at different positions, that is, the multi-carrier combination coverage.
Use the RRU to solve the problems such as antenna feeder and repeater.
When multiple RRU downlink signals are the same, the uplink will select and
combine one of these signals.
Error: Reference source not found is an example of the multi-carrier
combination application and high-speed railway. Because each cell is covered
by multiple antennas in different positions, the coverage distance of the cell
along the railway is increased significantly, thus effectively reduce the voice
problems caused by inter-cell handovers.

二.3 ZXSDR BTSs
As mentioned above, the current GSM networking mainly uses three types of
SDR BTS: the first is the indoor macro BTS, such as ZXSDR B8800 GU306;
the second is the outdoor macro BTS, such as ZXSDR B8900 GU306; the third
is the distributed BTS (a BTS type that the BBU is at the local end, while the
RU is at the remote end (RRU)), such as ZXSDR B8200 GU360 + ZXSDR
R8860 GU906/GU186. For the structure. Now we will give a brief introduction
for the B8200, R8860, BS8800, and BS8900 respectively.
二.3.1 ZXSDR B8200
ZXSDR B8200 system description
ZXSDR B8200 GU360 is a dual-mode baseband unit based on the uTCA
platform. It can support the GSM or UMTS system or both, and share the
common control function and transmission.
ZXSDR B8200 GU360 supports a maximum of 60 GSM carriers, or 12
UMTS carrier-sectors.

二.4 Conditions for the Subscription of SDR
Now we have a preliminary concept of the SDR. Let’s take a look at the
conditions for the subscription of the SDR.
The iBSC needs an IP interface board IPBB (the physical board is BIPI
(100 M) or GIPI (Gigabit)) to provide the FE interfaces for the SDRs of the
OMCB and FE Abis.
If the Abis interface is E1/T1, the DTB and EUIP (the physical board is
EIPI) should be configured as the interface board of the IP over E1/T1.
The iBSC version should be iBSCV6.20 or later.
The iSMG version should be iSMGV6.20 or later.
The NetNumen version should be MinosV6.10.410d or later.

三. ZTE SDR Networking
Now we know so many advantages of the SDR, but how to use the SDR? In
this chapter, we will learn this point, including networking, installation, and
commissioning.
Let’s start with the SDR networking. Each network shows different networking
figures at different angles. So does the SDR BTS networking. Let’s learn the
SDR networking from three angles: Abis networking interface, BSC/BBU/RRU
topology, and the O&M network management of the SDR.
三.1 From the Angle of Abis Interface
Currently, the SDR BTS only supports the IP Abis interface. Its physical bearer
can be FE/GE or E1/T1 (IP over E1/T1), but can not be the TDM E1/T1.
When the FE/GE is used, the networking of the SDR and BSC is as shown in
Figure 3.1-1. This networking can obtain more transmission bandwidth.
Figure 3.1-13 The Networking when the Abis Interface Uses the FE/GE
For E1/T1, the networking of the SDR and BSC is as shown in Figure 3.1-2.
This networking can fully use the existing transmission equipment and save the
user investments.
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION.
Introduction to ZXSDR Products Internal Use Only
Figure 3.1-14 The Networking when the Abis Interface Uses the E1/T1
三.2 From the Angle of Network Topology
The network topology of the SDR can be categorized into the networking of
BBU and RNC/BSC and the networking of BBU and RRU.
三.2.1 Networking of BBU and RNC/BSC
The networking of BBU and RNC/BSC is categorized into star and chain, as
shown in Figures 3.2-1 and 3.2-2. The networking of the SDR macro BTS
B8800/B8900 and RNC/BSC is the same as that of the BBU and RNC/BSC.
For the star networking, the BSC/RNC in each site will introduce n
transmission links directly, and all the BTS equipment on each site are the
end equipment. See Figure 3.2-1. The star networking features simple
networking, convenient maintenance and engineering, less processes for
signals, and high reliability of the line. However, the star networking
demands the most transmission lines compared with other networks.
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION.
Introduction to ZXSDR Products Internal Use Only
Figure 3.2-15 BBU Star Networking
Chain networking
The chain networking is used for band-distributed, low line density areas,
such as freeways and railways. Theoretically, the B8200 supports five-
level cascades. However, to avoid the deterioration of the clock
performance, the number of BTS cascades in the chain networking should
not higher than level 4, as shown in Figure 3.2-2.
The chain networking can save a lot of transmission equipment. But
because the signals should pass many processes, the line is reliable.
Figure 3.2-16 BBU Chain Networking
三.2.2 Networking of BBU and RRU
The networking of the BBU and RRU is categorized into star and chain.
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION.
Introduction to ZXSDR Products Internal Use Only
Star networking
The ZXSDR B8200 GU360 can use the star networking, and use the fiber
for the transmission. Its networking is shown as in Figure 3.2-3. The
ZXSDR B8200 GU360 can form a star network with a maximum of 12
RRU star.
Figure 3.2-17 RRU Star Networking
Chain Network
For the chain networking, the RRU is connected to the RRU of the ZXSDR
B8200 GU360 or cascade through the optical fiber interface. See Figure
3.2-4. The ZXSDR B8200 GU360 supports a maximum of level 4 RRU
chain networking. The chain networking is applicable for band-distributed,
low line density areas. It can save a lot of transmission equipment.

三.3 From the Angle of O&M
三.3.1 Networking Sample
Remember what is OMCB? In the above chapter, we know that the difference
between the SDR and the traditional 2G BTS is that the SDR BTS has two
network managements: one is OMCR, the other is OMCB. Most of the
operations are performed on the OMCB. See Figure 2.2-2 if you can not recall
it. In the actual networking, the OMCB and OMCR can be installed on two
independent servers, or be integrated into a network management (iSMG) and
installed in a server (SBCX). How the OMCB communicates with the SDR
then?
Networking Description
When the OMCB and OMCR are deployed in combination, they are still
two independent network management units logically. They are just
installed on the SBCX board physically. Then, the iBSC should provide two
sets of IP interfaces which will be connected to the SDR BTS and OMCB
server; the iBSC should be configured with a virtual address (RPU
interface address). The networking is shown in Error: Reference source
not found.
The connection between the SDR and BSC: for physical E1 access,
the interface board at SDR side is the SA, while the interface board at
BSC side is DTB (should work with EUIP to implement the IP access);
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION.
Introduction to ZXSDR Products Internal Use Only
For FE/GE access, the interface board at SDR side is CC, while the
interface board at BSC side is IPBB.
Connection between the OMCB and BSC: For FE/GE access, the
OMCB interface is the external network interface of the SBCX. It is
usually the HEART1. The IPBB is used at BSC side.

四. ZXSDR Series BTS Hardware Installation
This chapter describes the BTS installation of the SDT. As the macro BTS
installation of the SDR is the same as that of other macro BTSs, no more
detailed will be given here. But it is easy and flexible to install the distributed
BTS, because its volume is small and its BBU is separated from the RRU.
四.1.1 B8200 Hardware Installation
ZXSDR B8200 is a 19-inch standard cabinet. It features compact size and easy
installation. It supports several installation methods: indoor stand installation
(19-inch rack, also called gantry support), wall installation, pole installation, and
outdoor installation.
The most common installation is to use the existing or new indoor floor
stand, which is a 19-inch rack. Besides B8200, it can be installed with
other stand equipment such as a router.
In wall installation, install the cabinet ZXSDR BC8180 and then the B8200.
The internal structure of the ZXSDR BC8180 is similar to the installation
structure of the indoor floor stand. That is, the ZXSDR BC8180 is a small
indoor floor structure. For its appearance, see Figure 3.3-1. And for its
internal structure, see Figure 3.3-2.

五. ZTE SDR Commissioning
五.1 SDR BTS Commissioning Flow
The following figure shows the SDR BTS commissioning flow:
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION.
Introduction to ZXSDR Products Internal Use Only
Figure 5.1-1 SDR Commissioning Flow
SDR hardware installation includes SDR equipment installation and cable
connection.
BSC installation debugging includes hardware installation, background
software installation, BSC data configuration, version management, connection
of A and Gb interfaces, and service test. The background network management
must be installed in the OMCR+OMCB (the iSMGV6.20 supports this).
OMCR data configuration is the data configuration related to the SDR at the
BSC side. It falls into four parts: BSC global resource setting, board
configuration of the Abis interface, IP interface configuration, and radio
parameter configuration of the SDR site.
The OMCB is the operation and maintenance center of the SDR BTS. With it,
you can configure SDR data and remotely maintain the SDR in the
commissioning.
LMT local debugging refers to connect the debugger to the SDR and configure
local data through the LMT software. You can use the LMT to configure
transmission-related information (such as IP address and route), physical
information (such as board and topology relation), and partial radio information
(such as band and central frequency ). You can also use it to manage the SDR
version.
Synchronization between the foreground and the background refers to
transconfigure the data configured on the SDR at the foreground side to the
OMCB at the background side, or synchronize the data configured on the
OMCB at the background side to the SDR at the foreground side after link
establishment between the foreground and the background. Before link
establishment between the foreground and the background, the following four
prerequisites must be satisfied:
The transmission network runs normally.
SDR interface-related parameters are correctly configured on the OMCR.
SDR management NE is correctly created on the OMCB.
Transmission parameters are correctly configured through the LMT.
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION.
Introduction to ZXSDR Products Internal Use Only
Figure 5.1-2 Link Establishment Between the Foreground and Background Requires
Cooperation of Four Prerequisites
Note that LMT configurations are the same as OMCB configurations. When the
SDR is subscribed, configure the data of the BSC side on the OMCR in one of
the following two ways: 1. a. configure all data through the OMCB. b. configure
SDR transmission parameters through the LMT. c. establish a link between the
SDR and the OMCB. d. synchronize the data configured on the OMCB to the
SDR. 2. a. configure all data though the LMT. b. create a SDR management
NE on the OMCB. c. establish a link between the OMCB and the SDR. d.
Transconfigure the SDR data to the OMCB. But the first method is
recommended. The following sections simply describe main steps of this
debugging method.
