• In the downlink direction, receives signals from the backplane, extracts data and
implements timing.

• Multiplexes the received data and extracts I/Q signals.

• Maps I/Q data in the downlink direction and multiplexes I/Q signals to be optical
signals.

• In the uplink direction, receives I/Q signals, and de-multiplexes and maps I/Q
signals.

• Transmits the multiplexed I/Q signals to the baseband processing board.

• Exchanges the CPU interface signals with RSU/RRU through the HDLC interface.

4.5 PM Board

4.5.1 Function

As a -48 V power module, the Power Module (PM) provides each ZXSDR B8200
L200 board with a power supply. Two PMs can operate in active/standby mode or
load sharing mode. When the BBU power consumption exceeds the rated power of
a single PM, the PMs are operating in load sharing mode for load balancing.

The PM module supports the following functions:

• Provides two types of DC output voltages: 3.3 V for management power and 12 V
for payload power.

• Resets the other boards on the BBU through MMI commands.

• Detects plugging/unplugging state of the other boards on the BBU.

• Provides input over/under-voltage protection.

• Provides output over-current protection and overload power supply management.

The LTE uses PM modules of two types: PM3 and PM4. For detailed descriptions,
refer to the following table.

• DSP module: exchanges information with the CPU, exchanges control signals and
data with the FPGA module, implements maintenance and measurement
functions such as extracting and updating pre-distortion parameters, and detects
errors and alarms.

• FPGA module: exchanges control signals and data with the BSP and DSP modules.

The Operation Support Sub-system (OSS) is a support layer for the entire software.

inter-module communication, queuing controlling, monitoring, alarm management,
and log management.

The OAM provides the functions of version management, fault management,


diagnosis test, configuration management, tool management, performance
management, system management, dynamic data management, and communication
management.
