ZTE Distributed Base Station Solution

ZTE's LTE eBBU+eRRU distributed base station solution has the following predominance: 1. Saving labor cost and engineering cost for networking. eBBU+eRRU distributed base station equipment is small in size, light in weight, and easy for transportation and engineering construction. 2. Fast networking, also saving the fees of renting equipment room. eBBU+eRRU distributed base station is applicable to various sites, such as mounted on the steel tower, on the building top, or on the wall, etc. It's more flexible in selecting installation site, and not restricted by the space of the equipment room. It can help the operators to deploy network rapidly, and exert the predominance of Time-To-Market. It can also save the fees of renting equipment room, and the network operation cost. 3. Convenient in upgrade and capacity expansion; saving the initial stage cost of the network.

eRRU can be mounted as close to the antenna as possible, to save the cost of feed cable and decrease the wastage of feed cable. It also can enhance the output power of eRRU top and increase the coverage. 4. Low power consumption, power-saving. Compared with traditional base station, eBBU+eRRU distributed base station has lower power consumption, which can greatly reduce the investment and cost on electric power, and thus save the network operation cost. 5. Distributed networking, making good use of operators' network resources supporting eBBU+eRRU distributed networking; supporting the star or chain networking mode between eBBU and eRRU. 6. Adopting more perspective generalized base station platform. eBBU adopts the platform designed for the future B3G and 4G. One hardware platform can realize different standard modes, and several standard modes can coexist in one base station. In this way, the operators' management can be simplified, and several base stations to be invested can be integrated into one base station (multimode base station). The operators can select the evolution direction of the future network more flexibly, and the end users will also feel the transparency of the network and smooth evolution.

1.2 Product Location in LTE Wireless Network


LTE is a new-generation wireless network technology based on OFDM technology. The main aims of formulating LTE standards are: To provide higher user data rate, enhance system capacity, decrease delay and operation cost. To realize the flexible configuration and implementation of the mobility of a present or new access technology based on IP network. LTE has optimized the traditional 3G network architecture, and adopts flat network structure. LTE system consists of EPC and eNodeB. EPC is responsible for the core network. EPC's signaling processing part is called as MME, and the data processing part is called as SAE Gateway (S-GW). eNodeB is responsible for the access network,

being also called E-UTRAN. eNodeB and EPC are connected via S1 interface; eNodeB and other eNodeBs are connected via X2 interface. ZXSDR B8200 L200 realizes the function of eNodeB's baseband unit, and forms a complete eNodeB with the RF unit (eRRU) via the baseband-RF interface.
