1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
ZXSDR R8863 (hereinafter R8863) is the distributed Remote Radio Unit (RRU) used in
ZTE Uni-RAN total solution, It is designed with 3 transmitters. Based on the common
ZTE new generation RRU platform, R8863 can work in GSM, UMTS or LTE single mode
or Multi-Mode in the same frequency band.
The document is designed to give an overview of the characteristics of R8863, its key
benefits, the architecture, functionality and services, as well as the system capabilities.
1.2 Benefits
R8863 provides the following benefits to operators.
 The compact RRU design enables operators to uses only one R8863 module
instead of three RRUs for one three-cell site. Higher integration brings fewer
modules, less space, lower load-bearing requirements and faster installation
procedure.
 ZXSDR R8863’s PA adopts advanced efficiency enhancement technologies to

achieve high power efficiency, including Doherty PA, DPD linear technology and
MCPA technology. With these features, RRU power consumption gets a remarkable
decrease.
 It flexibly supports GSM, UMTS and LTE systems by software configuration.

Instead of running hardware on independent platforms for each technology,
operators can implement various wireless technologies in software on the same
hardware platform. With two R8863, it supports LTE system.
 Passive thermal dissipation design also contributes to power saving and less noisy.

 The operation and maintenance of one single wireless network with fewer modules
is much simpler than multiple system networks. Fewer engineers are required and
less implementation to be taken for system interworking or upgrade.
1.3 Application Scenarios
R8863 and one Base Band Unit (BBU) form a complete BTS/NodeB, implementing radio
transmission in the covered area, controlling radio channels and realizing the
communication with the Base Station Controller (BSC/RNC) or EPC. It supports indoor
and outdoor applications.
