Product Overview LTE B20 RRH2x40-A (UHMB) Technical Description
3 Product Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the internal structure and operation of RRHs.
3.1 LTE Network

Wireless network block diagram
A simplified diagram is shown below, showing the end to end architecture for an LTE
network. The eNodeB contains all radio access functions.
3.2 Logical structure

eNodeB
The eNodeB is logically composed of two types of units:
• one or more Digital Base Units (BBU) perform the following functions:
– OA&M control of the eNodeB subunits
– backhaul
14 © 2018 Nokia DN09253092 Issue: 05

LTE B20 RRH2x40-A (UHMB) Technical Description Product Overview
– clocking and network synchronization
– baseband processing
– communication to Remote Radio Head (RRH).
• one or more RRHs perform the following functions:
– conversion between a digital In-phase/Quadrature (I/Q) data stream from the
BBU and RF signals transmitted or received via the RRH antenna ports
– local control of tower mounted amplifiers and antenna tilt units.
These two components are linked by optical fibres which carry LTE downlink and uplink
(main and diversity) base band digital signals along with OAM information. A specific
grouping of BBUs and RFMs is referred to as an eNodeB configuration.
Radio Frequency Module (RFM)

The RF Module (RFM) provides conversion between I/Q baseband data and RF air
interface signals. RFMs differ by:
• supported bandclass
• maximum RF output power
• number of transmit paths
• number of receive paths
• cabinet mounted TRDUs vs. outdoor RRHs.
For B20 RRH2x40-A , the reference functional model of an RRH (dual-transmit / dual-
receive type) is shown below. Note that the functions shown in the diagram may not map
one-to-one with hardware devices on the RRH.
DN09253092 Issue: 05 © 2018 Nokia 15

Component Function
RFM Controller Provides local control and monitoring of the RFM, anchors the TCP/IP
communication link to OA&M Control and the maintenance port, communicates
via the serial port.
Digital Does processing of the I/Q stream to and from the RFM.
Processing
Transmit Path Provides modulation, RF gain, and bandpass filtering for downlink signals.
Dual transmit RFMs provide two transmit paths, which are referred to in this
document as the Main Transmit Path (Tx1) and Diversity Transmit Path (Tx2).
(Note that for clarity in the diagram the transmit and receive path boxes do not
extend to include the bandpass filter, but the filter is considered a part of these
RF paths).
Receive Path Provides bandpass filtering, low noise amplification, and demodulation of the
uplink signals.
CPRI Unit RFMs communicate with the base unit via a CPRI connection. In the reference
diagram the CPRI unit implements the CPRI link protocol to the base unit and
to a downstream daisy-chained RFM. The synchronization and I/Q streams
within the CPRI link are forwarded to the Digital Processing section, while the
Ethernet stream is forwarded to OA&M Control.
Bypass Switch Software-configurable RF switches allow the RFM receive signals to be routed
Matrix back out the RFM auxiliary RF ports to other RFMs, or to accept a pre-
amplified (and filtered) RF signal from other RFMs or receive distribution units.

3.3 Functional description

General description
The B20 RRH2x40-A supports 3GPP band 20 with Downlink Band 791 - 821 (MHz) and
uplink Band 832 - 862 (MHz). The RRH consists of the high-speed interface unit, signal
processing unit, power amplifier, duplexer, extension ports, and power module.
The B20 RRH2x40-A includes the following functions:
• Receives downlink baseband data from the BBU and sends uplink baseband data to
the BBU.
• Receives RF signals from the antenna system, down-converts the signals to
intermediate frequency (IF) signals, amplifies the IF signals, and performs analog-to-
digital conversion. The transmit (TX) channel filters downlink signals, performs
digital-to-analog conversion, and up-converts RF signals to the TX band.
16 © 2018 Nokia DN09253092 Issue: 05

• Multiplexes receive (RX) and TX signals on the RF channel, which enables these
signals to share the same antenna path. It also filters the RX and TX signals.
• Provides a built-in Bias Tee (BT). The built-in BT couples RF signals and OOK
signals and transmits them through the TX/RX port A. The built-in BT also supplies
power to the tower mounted amplifier (TMA).
• The RRH can be powered by the AC/DC power module.

Mounting Options
B20 RRH2x40-A can be pole, U-steel, angle steel, or wall mounting, using the
appropriate mounting kit.
Method of installation:
• To ensure the heat dissipation of the RRH and waterproofing of the ports at the
bottom of the RRH, the vertical deviation angle of an RRH must be less than or equal
to 10 degrees, as shown in Figure 4: Requirements for the vertical deviation angle of
an RRH.
• On a tower, an RRH can be installed on a pole, angle steel, or U-steel. The side-
mounted installation mode (one side instead of the rear of an RRH is mounted on the
support) is recommended for RRHs on the main pole secured on a tower. This
installation mode allows multiple RRHs to be installed next to each other at the same
level on a pole. When the horizontal distance between the main and auxiliary poles
on a tower is equal to or greater than 810 mm (23.62 in.), the side-mounted mode is
recommended for installing RRHs on the auxiliary pole to meet the minimum
clearance requirements. Otherwise, the standard mode is recommended for
installing RRHs on the auxiliary pole.

RF and CPRI configuration LTE B20 RRH2x40-A (UHMB) Technical Description
4 RF and CPRI configuration

This chapter provides an overview of the RRH RF, and CPRI configurations.
4.1 RF configurations
The RF capacity is measured in sectors, carriers, and RF signal power. The RF capacity
determines what components appear in the B20 RRH2x40-A module and what antenna
connections are required.
Physical RF connections
The eNodeB can be connected to a B20 RRH2x40-A with the following RF frequency:
• B20 RRH2x40-A: 791 - 821MHz (3GPP Band 20)
The B20 RRH2x40-A modules accept the following connections:
• Two RF antenna connectors with 7/16 DIN female connector.
RF configurations
An eNodeB can be equipped with one up to three RRHs with each RRH serving one
sector. Below table list the different RF configurations supported (release dependant):
RF configuration Nbr RRH Max Nbr Nbr of RRH RRH port Recommended
per Sector carrier active used (note /Mandatory
ports 1)
antenna type (note
2)
2T2R 1 2 2 A (TxRx) & Std 2 port

B (TxRx)
Note 1: Unused RF ports need to be protected with dustproofed caps
Note 2: Any standard 2 port (XPol) antenna assuming AISG Interoperability Tests done
RF configuration in 2T2R mode
RRH is configured in 2T2R mode serving one sector and is connected on a standard 2
port dual polarization antenna allowing to operate in MIMO2x2.
36 © 2018 Nokia DN09253092 Issue: 05

LTE B20 RRH2x40-A (UHMB) Technical Description RF and CPRI configuration
AISG configurations
All of the RRHs support AISG 2.0 control of antenna line devices (typically RET units
and/or TMAs). All RRHs feature a separate RS484 AISG port and some support in
addition AISG on one or two of the Tx/Rx ports by building in one or two internal bias-T.
Table below is summarizing all recommended AISG configurations supported by B20
RRH2x40-A and depending on RF configuration and use case:
AISG AISG active AISG active AISG active RF configuration Use case
configuration on RS485 on port A on port B
port (note 1) (note 2) (note 2)
1 Yes No No 2T2R RRH near

antenna
2 No Yes No 2T2R RRH far
from
antenna
Note 1: AISG RS485 signal available on Pin 3&5 and AISG DC Power available on Pin 6
of the AISG RS485 connector
Note 2: AISG OOK signal and DC power available on inner conductor of RF port A & B
AISG scanning of B20 RRH2x40-A starts on the RS485 port and if ALDs are detected on
it, that port will be active and scanning with stop. If no ALDs are detected on the RS485
port than scanning will continue on RF port A and if ALD are detected on it, that port will
be active and scanning will continue on RF port B.
DN09253092 Issue: 05 © 2018 Nokia 37

Daisy chaining of up to 9 RET units is supported by the software but the combined power
draw of that many units may exceed the power capacity of the AISG port resulting in a
lower practical limit on the number of daisy-chained RETs. AISG cable type and length
also affect the number of supported RETs.
Any ALD compliant to the AISG2.0 standard may function normally but only those which
have been tested for interoperability are guaranteed by ALU. A list of the approved
devices can be provided upon request. Approved ALDs will give the customer the best
option for a successful integration.
AISG configuration 1
Below AISG configurations are the recommended configuration (AISG through the
RS485 port of RRH) for any RF configuration when RRH is located near the antenna.
AISG configuration2
Below AISG configurations are the recommended configuration (AISG through the RF
ports) for any RF configuration when RRH is located far from the antenna.

4.2 RF Signal flow

RF signal- Downlink
The RRH receives the CPRI (optical) signal from the BBU. The signal is converted into
an electrical, digital base-band signal, which is then digital to analog converted and up
converted to an RF signal. The RF signal is amplified and passed to the duplexer filter
and then out the EAC connector to the antenna. The unit may support one or two
transmit paths.
RF signal-Uplink
Two RX signals are received from the antennas, filtered and amplified with Low Noise
Amplifiers. The signals are down-converted before being converted into digital signals,
then multiplexed according to I/Q radio signals format and converted into optical signals
that are sent to the CCM.
RF logical structure
The following diagram shows the RF logical structure for the RRH.
DN09253092 Issue: 05 © 2018 Nokia 39

4.3 Common Public Radio Interface Configuration
The Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) of the RRHs can be connected in two ways
to the Base Band Unit:
• Star configuration
• Daisy chain
Star configuration
In the star configuration, the BBU is the central node that provides the common
connection point for all connected RRHs.
g Note: This illustration is just a schematic. The port connection varies depending on the
eNodeB database configuration.
40 © 2018 Nokia DN09253092 Issue: 05

Daisy chain configuration

The daisy chain allows to connect RRHs on one single optical link connected to the
digital eNodeB part.
4.4 BBU configuration

BBU connection overview
The following shows how a typical BBU is configured with the RRHs. Refer to 9926
Distributed Base Station (DBS) - LTE Baseband Unit (BBU) - Technical Description for
more details on the BBU.

of 1 ampere when the power dissipated between these two points is equal to
1 watt.
VSWR ( , In a transmission line, the ratio of maximum to minimum voltage in a
Voltage standing wave pattern. The VSWR is a measure of impedance
Standing mismatch between the transmission line and its load. The higher the
Wave VSWR, the greater the mismatch. The minimum VSWR, i.e., that which
Ratio ) corresponds to a perfect impedance match, is unity.
