ZXSDR R8861 Product Description

Table 2-1 ZXSDR R8861 Component Descriptions

Component Description

Transceiver The transceiver provides front panel interfaces, and implements


the following functions:
l Digital intermediate frequency processing.
l RF signal receiving and transmitting.
l Main control and clock control.
l Power supply control.
l Power amplifier control.

Power amplifier and low-noise The power amplifier amplifies downlink RF signals and sends the
amplifier RF signals to the duplexer. The low-noise amplifier is integrated in
the power amplifier.

Duplexer and filter A one-channel duplexer and a one-channel filter implement the
receiver diversity.

Power module The power module supplies power to the ZXSDR R8861, and
provides EMC protection for the monitoring interface and AISG
interface.

2.2 Software Architecture


Figure 2-2 illustrates the software architecture of the ZXSDR R8861.

Figure 2-2 Software Architecture

The software system of the ZXSDR R8861 runs on a Linux operating system that is
installed on the hardware platform. The BSP, containing a suite of software closely related
to boards, supports the running of RTOS on the boards. BSP implements device driver

Chapter 2 System Architecture

and initialization, basic functions such as alarm and supervision, and provides interfaces
and services for the operating system.
The operation support layer of the software system consists of six subsystems:
l OSS is a support layer for the entire software. It provides a hardware-irrelevant
platform on which the software runs to provide basic functions, such as scheduling,
timing, memory management, inter-module communication, queue control,
monitoring, alarm management, login, and log management.
l SCS controls the supply of power and active/standby switchover.
l OAM provides software download, configuration, management, fault management,
system maintenance, and performance measurement functions.
l DBS stores and manages data in the system.
l BRS processes protocols in the system.
l BRACS controls access to the bearer layer.

3.1 Operation and Maintenance Modes


The operation and maintenance modes of the ZXSDR R8861 are:
l Remote operation and maintenance mode: An NE connects to the element
management system through TCP/IP. The element management system can
maintain multiple base stations at the same time.
l Local operation and maintenance mode: An LMT is used for local operation and
maintenance of a single base station.

Remote Operation and Maintenance


The NetNumen U31 element management system developed by ZTE can be used
to operate and maintain the ZXSDR R8861 remotely. The ZXSDR R8861 connects
to a BSC/RNC/BBU through the corresponding Abis/Iub/CPRI interface, and the
BSC/RNC/BBU connects to the NetNumen U31 through a network. Figure 3-1 shows
an example of the connections between different devices for remote operation and
maintenance.

performance data, alarm information, and configuration data of a specific NE, or operate
and maintain multiple NEs of the same type on the topology map.
The NetNumen U31 provides the following operation and maintenance functions:
l Configuration management
The configuration management supports dynamic and static configuration of base
stations, such as the addition, query, deletion, modification, and data consistency
check of physical and radio resources.
l Security management
The security management ensures that only authorized users can perform permitted
operations on base stations.
l Performance management
The performance management supports performance analysis, calling trace, and
signaling trace.

l Version management
The version management allows users to view the hardware and software versions in
base stations and download latest versions for software upgrade.

l Fault management
The fault management includes alarm management and diagnostic tests. By using
the fault management functions, maintenance personnel can monitor the operational
statuses of base stations and collect the information of board and link faults in real
time for fault analysis and equipment maintenance.
