 OBSAI Based NodeB Architecture
•Nokia launched compact – small BTS based on OBSAI specs; Flexi Base
Station, but consists of only 2 units (excl. Power Supply Unit).
• System Unit and RF Unit (for RRH).
• The controller, BBU and Network Interface Units are integrated
into System Unit. It is connected to RF Unit through optic cable.

 CPRI Based NodeB Architecture
• All of base station functions are distributed by CPRI into 2 subsystems
or nodes.
• Radio Equipment (RE) for RRH.
• Radio Equipment Controller (REC), includes:
•Baseband processor or BBU.
•Network interface transport.
•Control and management.
