ZXWR R8840 Product Description
1 OVERVIEW
1.1 BackgroundThe WCDMA system is composed of radio access network UTRAN and core network CN. The base station (Node B) is an NE of the UTRAN system and located in the WCDMA system, as shown in Figure 1. It is connected with the RNC through the Iub interface and with the UE through the air interface Uu.

Based on the function realized, Node B can be divided into Base Band Unit and Radio Frequency Unit. Distributed Base Station is developed by this concept. This technical specification is about the Remote Radio Unit equipment (RRU) R8840 of ZTE Distributed Base Station.
Distributed Base Station equipment consists of Base Band Unit equipment (BBUB) and Remote Radio Unit equipment (RRU). It’s a kind of Base Station that can be installed flexibly and distrib-uted, as shown in figure 2.

Figure 2 Distributed Base Station Equipment
Remote Radio Unit RRU can be connected to Base Band Unit BBUB by fiber, and BBUB is con-nected to RNC through Iub interface. Distributed Base Station is applicable to virous environmen-tal condition, and can greatly reduce operators’ CAPEX and OPEX.
1.2 Product ApplicationZTE Remote Radio Unit equipment R8840 is developed based on 3GPP R99/R4/R5 FDD proto-col. Together with ZTE baseband pool equipment, R8840 can constitute a full Node B Base Sta-tion. R8840 can also be connected to the ZTE Base Station to provide remote radio function.
ZTE R8840 is small, airproof, natural cooling radio unit that meet the requirement of outdoor in-stallation. It features small size, light weight, low power consumption and easy installation.
R8840 can be mounted on the tower, pole or wall that is close to the antenna, so that the radio sig -nal loss in the cable can be greatly reduced.
R8840 can at most support 4 carriers, 40W transmit power. It is applicable for different environ-ment condition from urban to suburb.
3G networking by ZTE distributed Base Station has the following advantages:
Reduce the operator's investment and OPEX: ZTE distributed Base Station adopts separate struc-ture. It uses small ground space and does not need a special equipment room. Therefore, the in-vestment into equipment room is decreased effectively. In addition, the power supply and trans-mission device for 2G network can be shared, which also saves the investment. ZTE RRU em-ploys DPD technology and achieves a high efficiency of 30%, leading in the industry. The very

low overall power consumption helps the operator reduce electricity expense greatly. Besides, the RRU is installed near the antenna, saving feeder cost and radio power loss.
Support flexible services upgrade: Using horizontal board plugging mechanism, ZTE Base Band Unit is easy to expand and maintain. It supports the all-around smooth upgrade from 2G to 3G in the service ability. Through software upgrading, it supports the all-around service upgrade from R99 to R6 and even to LTE. The transmitting power of ZTE RRU can be increased from 20W to 40W. ZTE RRU can satisfy all kinds of application scenarios by supporting 1 to 4 carriers.
