1 Product Overview

1.1 Introduction

With the multi-mode era coming, ZTE, who is dedicated to providing

comprehensive network solutions and delivering the future-oriented quality

network for the operators, developed the ground breaking SDR unified platform

with the essential feature to support multi-mode and multi-band radio access.

Based on this innovative SDR platform, ZTE promotes a series of base stations to

satisfy different scenario requirements, including Indoor Macro, Outdoor Macro,

Distributed, Outdoor Micro, and Mini BTS.

These SDR-based serial base stations aim to design a unified network which can

bring seamless experience to operators. In GSM, UMTS or mixed mode, it enables

operators to save CAPEX and OPEX significantly because they only need to

deploy a Uni-Radio Access Network, compared to the independent GSM and UMTS

networks.

ZXSDR BS8900A is one outdoor macro BTS, providing an all in one solution for

power supply, battery, and transmission integration. It offers GSM/UMTS

dual-mode networking capability and provides a future-proof solution for smooth

evolution to Enhanced EDGE, HSPA+ and LTE. BS8900A’s appearance is shown in

Figure 1-1. In the following chapters, a general description will be given to ZXSDR

BS8900A (hereafter referred as “BS8900A”).

1.2 Benefits

Easy Installation, Fast Deployment

Four basic cabinets of BS8900A can be combined flexibly to cater for different

scenarios. Auxiliary equipments, including transmission, battery and power

supply, are integrated into the cabinet to provide a full functional outdoor base

station solution. Front wiring design enables installation against wall and

convenient maintenance. Least footprint requirement relieves the operator from

bothering by the site acquisition problem.

Large Capacity, Easy Expansion

ZXSDR BS8900A can accommodate several kinds of multi-carrier RSUs, including

1T2R, 2T4R RF modules. The 2T4R Radio Unit (RSU82) has the capability to

support 2*6 GSM TRXs or 2*3 UMTS carriers. Expansion is achieved through

software configuration.

Flexible GSM/UMTS Dual Mode Networking

ZXSDR BS8900A meets GSM/UMTS dual mode networking requirements in

different scenarios. It supports GSM 900M +GSM 1800 dual band networking, and

UMTS 900M can be realized in the same hardware with corresponding software

upgrade. When GSM is configured initially, UMTS 2100M can be supported by

adding new RF units.

Smooth Evolution

ZXSDR BS8900A software and hardware support full-feature EDGE and

UMTS/HSPA and satisfy operators’ future needs for data services. With software

upgrade it is easy to realize the evolution to EDGE+ and HSPA+. Even in the LTE

phase, through minimal change, ZXSDR BS8900A can support LTE functionality.

Radio unit mainly processes the conversion between baseband signals and RF

signals.

In BS8900A, there are three kinds of radio unit, respectively: RSU40, RSU60E, and

RSU82. RSU40 is a UMTS only radio frequency module, which works in UMTS only

on 2100MHz/AWS. RSU60E is a multi-carrier radio frequency module, which can

work in GSM only, UMTS only or G/U dual mode via software configuration on

850/900/1800/1900MHz. RSU82 is a multi-carrier radio frequency module, which

can work in GSM only, UMTS only or G/U dual mode via software configuration and

support 2 sectors on 900/1800/2100MHz or 1 sector with 2*2 MIMO in HSPA+ mode.

The following will show the details.

2.2.2.1 RSU40

RSU40 is UMTS multi-carrier radio unit, working on 2100M/AWS. RSU40 supports

maximum 4 carriers, and the output power is 60W.

RSU40 module consists of MCPA (multi-carrier power module) module,

transceiver module, and duplex filter LNA. There are one TX/RX port and one RX

port for connecting antennas.

2.2.2.2 RSU60E

RSU60E is a multi-carrier RF module, working on 850M/900M/1800M/1900M. It can

be configured as GSM only, UMTS only or dual mode module.

RSU60E maximum supports 6 TRXs in GSM mode. In case of GMSK modulation,

80W TOC output power can be provided. If 8PSK is used, the TOC output power is

50W.

If RSU60E is used as UMTS mode, it maximum supports 4 carriers with 80W TOC

output power.

In dual modes, RSU60E maximum supports 4 GSM TRXs and 1 UMTS carrier or 2

GSM TRXs and 2 UMTS carriers.

RSU60E module consists of MCPA module, transceiver module, and duplex filter

LNA. There are one TX/RX port and one RX port for connecting antennas.

The appearance of RSU40 is nearly the same as that of RSU60E, except the label,

as shown in the following figure.

2.2.2.3 RSU82

RSU82 is a multi-carrier and multi-mode RF module, working on

900M/1800M/2100M. One RSU82 can process 2-way transmitting and 4-way

receiving, thus supporting 2 sectors in GSM/UMTS or 1 sector with 2*2 MIMO in

HSPA+ mode. RSU82 can be configured as GSM only, UMTS only or mixed mode.

In GSM mode, RSU82 supports maximum 2*4 TRXs with TOC output power 2*80W

on 900MHz/1800MHz, or 2*6 TRXs with TOC output power 2*60W on

900MHz/1800MHz. In case of GMSK modulation, the TOC output power reaches up

to 2*80W, which falls back to 2*50W if 8PSK is adopted.

In UMTS mode, it maximum supports 2*20MHz with TOC output power 2*80W on

900M or 2*60W on 2100M.

The operating support layer provides the functions of OSS, while OAM, DBS, BRS,

BRACS, and SCS serve different BTS modes.

OAM (Operating and Maintenance) is to provide the configuration, alarm and

performance measurement function.

DBS (Database Sub-system) is the database system.

BRS (Bearer Sub-system) is for protocol stack processing.

BRACS (Bearer Access Control Sub-system) is to control the access to bear

layer.

SCS (System Control Sub-system) is to control the power supplying and

active/standby switching.

OSS (Operation Support Sub-system) is the support layer in this entire framework,

which is a hardware platform for running software and provides basic functions

like scheduling, timer, memory management, communication, sequencing control,

monitoring, alarming and logging.

4.5 GSM/UMTS Dual-Mode Configuration

There are two scenarios for GSM/UMTS dual-mode networking: GSM/UMTS dual

mode network in same spectrum; GSM/UMTS dual mode network with different

spectrum

4.5.1 GSM 850/900/1800/1900M and UMTS 850/900/1800/1900M Dual-Mode

Network in Same Spectrum

If one RSU60E is configured in this scenario, the configuration is shown in the

following table. One RSU60E supports 4 GSM TRXs + 1 UMTS carrier or 2 GSM

TRXs + 2 UMTS carriers simultaneously.

If the working frequency lies in 900MHz, RSU82 is adopted, with configuration

shown in the following table. One RSU82 supports 2*(4 GSM TRXs + 1 UMTS

carrier) or 2*(2 GSM TRXs + 2 UMTS carriers) simultaneously.

4.5.2 GSM 850/900/1800/1900M and UMTS2100M Dual-Mode Network with

Different Spectrum

If RSU40 and RSU60E are configured simultaneously in this scenario, RSU40 is

used for UMTS2100MHz, and RSU60E is used for GSM850/900/1800/1900MHz.
