What is SDR (1) The radio technologies defined by the SDR forum are classified
into five levels: HR, SCR, SDR, ISR and USR. HR—— hardware radio Tier0. For example, the traditional
single-mode base station. SCR——software choose radio Feature: Single-mode base transceiver stations of different
modes can be placed together, but they are integrated in terms of software.

What is SDR (2) SDR- Software Defined Radio: you can use the software to
select a demodulation mode, broadband signals or narrowband signals. ZTE ZDR base station series leads the technologies in the industry.
Feature: Different radio modes can share hardware, including RF front end, ADC/DAC and base band processing.

What is SDR (3) ISR——Idea software radio. Feature: 1) get rid of the analog RF front end; 2) the whole system can be
controlled by programming except the antenna. USR——Ultimate software radio Feature: 1) it has the function of the ISR; 2) the controlling software should
be standardized. Switch between different radio modes can be finished within milliseconds.
The ISR cannot be widely used because the technology is not mature.

What is SDR (4) SDR and cognitive radio Cognitive radio is an
important technology of USR. It can perceive the surroundings, and adjust the wireless bandwidth and de-modulation mode accordingly.

Macro base station: BBU and RU are all in the cabinet, which is different from the distributed base station in structure.
Internal Only▲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.
The networking is flexible if the RRU is distributed remotely. For example, it can support multi-carrier and indoor distributed coverage.
BBU and RRU can be distributed flexibly, which benefit for compatibility design.

Software architecture of the SDR base station – OMC software 2
OMCB is an operation and maintenance unit to manage NodeB in
3GPP. ZTE’s SDR base stations support both radio modes of GSM
and WCDMA. Connection mode of the traditional base station: OMCR-
>BSC->BTS; Connection mode of the SDR: OMCB->BTS, OMCR-
>BSC->BTS.
According to the management mode of WCDMA, the board
management, configuration, software downloading and alarms are all
managed by OMCB. In case of the dual-mode, operation and
maintenance tasks of GSM are moved to OMCB, and OMCR manages
GSM related radio configuration and status management.

Software architecture of the SDR base station – OMC software 3
OMCR connects to BTS through BSC, regardless the link status
between BSC and BTS. OMCR sends data to BSC, who then
synchronizes the data to BTS.
OMCB is different from OMCR. OMCB interacts with SDR through IP
links. The interaction between OMCB and SDR may pass or not pass
through BSC/RNC. OMCB and SDR confirm data transmission only, and
BSC/RNC needs not to make confirmation. Physically, OMCB can
interact with SDR through IP routes provided by BSC/RNC.
For dual-mode sites, some OMCB connects with BSC, and some OMCB
connects with RNC. BSC/RNC then connects with SDR through IP
transmission.
Internal Only▲
Software architecture of the SDR base station – OMC software 4
OMCB and OMCR can share the same server or board, but they are two different programs and there is no direct interaction between them. Hence, it is necessary to guarantee data consistent manually. Theoretically, the basic board information is configured on OMCB, and the logic information is configured on OMCR. If data are inconsistent between them, we will take the data on OMCB as the reference data.
The main control board of the SDR will keep a copy of all configuration data of the OMCB. Hence, the data takes effect directly when the SDR starts, without direct interaction between the SDR and OMCB. Then, the SDR creates a link to BSC and requests for radio parameters, and BSC sends the data except configuration information of OMCB to the SDR. Thus, a complete data configuration table is generated. That is a theoretic process. In practice, it is necessary to modify the data configuration. For example, modify radio parameters for expansion projects. Data configuration of OMCB should be compatible with that of OMCR, otherwise, the SDR cannot respond correctly.

Unified hardware platform – UTCA uTCA (Micro Telecommunications Computing Architecture ) is a
simplified version (Micro TCA) of ATCA (Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture). ATCA and MicroTCA provide various components of different interfaces, different protocols and different performances for switching. It is a standard and open structure.
ATCA mainly orients to the environment requiring high-capacity and high-performance, while uTCA orients to the environment requiring low-capacity and low-performance. uTCA is cost effective and volume sensitive. uTCA inherits many features of ATCA, including basic interconnection topology and management structure.
PCI Industrial Computer Manufactures Group (PICMG for short), is an organization which has over 800 member companies, including Intel, Motorola, and ZTE.

Multi-carrier RU/RRU (1) The multi-carrier RF modules include three types:
RU60 (60W) , R8860 (60W), and RU80 (80W). RU/RRU uses multi-carrier technology. IT performs
signal synthesis for multiple carriers. It uses only one set of boards and PA, and one set of antenna system. RU60 supports signal synthesis for 6 carriers.
The RU/RRU module has only two external antenna ports. It supports single-transmitting and double receiving generally. If the cell has over 6 carriers, one port should be reserved to connect the other RU.
RU/RRU adopts broadband transceiver and broadband power amplifier.

Multi-carrier RU/RRU (2)
RU/RRU is responsible for functions of the baseband RF interface and the Uu/Um interface.
RU/RRU is responsible for access and radio link transmission of UE/MS through the Uu/Um interface, including RF processing, modulation/demodulation, measurement and report, power control, receiving diversity, correction, synchronization, etc.
It connects to BBU through the optical interface by the CPRI protocol. It implements the following functions through the optical interface, such as IQ data transmission, measurement report, RF function configuration, clock synchronization, etc.

RU/RRU configuration rules RRU supports at most 4-level cascaded connection. In practice,
however, it is suggested to adopt only 2-level cascaded connection in networking.
For RRUs in cascaded connection, there is no limit to the position, sequence, frequency band, and radio mode.
RRUs of different bands share neither antennas nor feeders. If a backbone physical site (iron tower) is installed with over 3 sets of
RRU, it is necessary to configure 1 BBU nearby the iron tower. If a backbone physical site (iron tower) is installed with both R8840
and R8860, it is necessary to configure 1 BBU nearby the iron tower. If the physical site for hole coverage is configured with 1 – 2 sets of
RRU, it is suggested to connect the fiber from the nearest backbone BBU, instead of from tower-top backbone RRU.
For multiple sets of RRUs sharing the iron tower, the isolation between TX/Rx and RX must greater than 30dB.

RSU60E and R8860E
RSU60E / R8860E uses the ADTR instead of the previous DTR.
Compared with RSU60 (80W) /R8860 (80W), they have the same
cabinet-top output power, but the working bandwidth and RF
indices are greatly improved. The bandwidth of a single module
can reach up to 20M (which can be increased to 25M by software
upgrade from December, 2010).
From Oct. 1, 2010, ZTE stops delivering RSU60/R8860, and

Basic concept – baseband frequency hopping
Frequency hopping refers to that multiple frequencies are used for radio transmission of a single speech/signaling/data link. The transmission frequency keeps stable within the transmission period of a burst pulse. For different burse pulses of the same link, the transmission frequency may change. The MS may be affected by the fading effect of some frequency on the transmission path. GSM coding and inter-leaving technology helps to minimize the impact of single-burst lost to the voice quality.
Baseband frequency hopping means that multiple transmitters work on their respective frequencies, and switch signals of different channels to different transmitters to send them on the baseband, thus to achieve the function of frequency hopping.
The function of frequency hopping is easy and feasible. Because of limited number of TRXs, there are a just a few frequencies available for frequency hopping.
Internal Only▲
Baseband frequency hopping technology
For baseband frequency hopping, each RU has a fixed frequency. The baseband board figures out the frequency of each timeslot over the TDMA frame according to frame No. (FN), mobile allocation table (MA), mobile allocation index offset (MAIO), and frequency hopping serial No. (HSN). Then, the baseband board switches the data to the corresponding RU according to the frequency, and receives uplink data from the corresponding RU. The baseband frequency hopping can be implemented by DSP, or FS or FPGA on the BP board. At present, a DSP processes one frequency hopping group, which can have 12 frequencies at most.

Basic concept – MCUM
Multi-carrier unite combine (MCUM) is a product after 3G OTSR
is introduced into the GSM system.
To meet complex requirements for coverage and high-speed
moving, antennas are placed at multiple positions and multiple
angles to cover each single cell.
The SDR solves the problem about antenna extension and
repeaters by distributing the RRU remotely.
Downlink signals of multiple RRUs are same. The uplink
perform selective combination, that is, MCUM.

Features of the technology The downlink of multiple carriers are same signals. TRXs of an RU should be processed on the same UBPG. A
UPBG can process 12 TRXs at most. Uplink signals are combined selectively, which can improve
