Difference between BBU+RRU and General Node B
 A distributed base station consists of two separately-developed,
mutually-independent parts. It uses optical fibers instead of
many radio frequency cables to reduce feeders and save costs
significantly. This results in decreased project costs, improved
networking flexibility, and convenient installation.
BBU+RRU - A More Effective Way to Deal with
Equipment Room Shortage
Setup Method
RET
 Use the B8200 + RRU networking mode;
 Place the baseband pool equipment in the 19" rack,
or mount it on the wall in the existing equipment room;
 Lay the antenna feeder plane optical fiber from the
baseband ppool equipment
q p room to the pplanned 3G site;
Use outdoor RRU at the planned 3G site for coverage.

Advantages
 Full use of the existing equipment rooms, no need for
new ones;
 Strong upgrade capability; low-loss
low loss feeders; ZXWR B8200
 No need for new transmission networks.

It effectively solves the problem of equipment room shortage

shortage.
 BBU+RRU Base Station Solves Feeder
Overlength Problem
 Signal loss in feeders will result in degraded coverage performance.
 The 2G Hz radio frequency signal travels in feeders at a loss of
7dB/100 and
7dB/100m, d 900M HHz 4dB/100
4dB/100m.
 Generally, the feeder length of 3G sites is 50 meters, with a signal
loss of about 4dB.
 RRU makes RF be p possiblyy closest to the antenna to minimize the
signal loss in feeders.
 By using BBU+RRU, signal loss in feeders can be reduced to less
than 1dB.

 RRU Cabling Modes
RRU Installation
 RRU supports two installation modes: outdoor and indoor.
 In the outdoor mode, the distance between RRU and antenna should
be less than 5m if the RRU has only one antenna
antenna, or 20m if the RRU
has more than one antenna, or should meet the design rquirements.
 In the indoor mode, the distance between RRU and antenna should
be less than 20m or shoule meet the design requirements.
 Install only one UMTS 2100M R8840 for each set of RRU in the first
phase, and one 900M R8860 and one to four 1800M R8860s in the
second phase.
 RRU Dimensions:

Note: The RRU must be placed vertically with its ports facing downwards
downwards. Never place it
horizontally.
Outdoor Installation of RRU

 When installing the RRU on an outdoor antenna feeder plane, there are
several mounting modes as follows:
 Wall-mounting (preferred);
 Pole-mounting or L type-mounting;
 Flexible mounting according to the on-site conditions.
 Consider full configurations for each set of RRU:
 Six RRUs + three or six outdoor lightning protection boxes (one lightning
protection box supports two RRUs) + two combiners + two 3dB bridges
 Where, the combiners and bridges are used at the shared stage of the existing
network. After cutover, the combiners should be removed. Whether the bridges
should be removed or not depends on the practical situations.
 Dimensions of Pole and Lightning Protection Box

 Installation requirements: There should be no object that affects normal

outlets or connections in the 250mm installation space under the RRU.
Indoor Installation of RRU
 When installing the RRU indoors, configure six RRUs, one DC power
distribution box (one DC power distribution box supports six RRUs),
and one combiner/bridge g for each set.
 Indoor or outdoor lightning protection boxes are not required. Each
RRU set needs one DC power distribution box MCB (One DC power
distribution box supports six RRUs. The rated current of the MCB
switch should be higher than 16A). Use 25mm2 blue black power

If two RRU sets are close to each other (less than 3m), they can share
a grounding bar. Connect the protective ground of the MCB to the
RRU grounding bar by using 16mm2 yellow green grounding cables cables.

 Generally, there are two modes to install the RRU indoors:

 Wall mounting is preferred. If the wall is too thin (or made of sand or
wood) to provide enough bearing capacity
capacity, it is recommended to make
a back-to-wall support on site. Refer to the wall-mounting BBUB
above.
 If wall mounting is impossible, it is also acceptable to use a
floorstanding mounting support that can bear four RRUs RRUs. Mount the
MCB on the nearest wall.

RRU Cable Types
 Outdoor Cabling Requirements
 The selection of outdoor cables between indoor lightning protection box (one supports three
RRUs) and outdoor lightning protection box (one supports two RRUs) should follow the
principles below.
 If the cable length is less than 50m
50m, use 6mm2 dedicated two-core

cables.
 If the cable length is between 50m and 145m, use 16mm2 dedicated two-core cables. If the
cable length is between 50m and 80m, it is also acceptable to use 10mm2 dedicated two-core
cables.
 If the cable length is between 145m and 290m, use 16mm2 dedicated two-core cables, but in
this case, one outdoor lightning protection box only powers one RRU separately.
 Configure outdoor lightning protection boxes and outdoor cables as follows after completing
the installation of each RRU set.
 If the outdoor cable length is less than 145m, the 2100M RRU and the 900M RRU should
share one outdoor lightning protection box, and two to four 1800M RRUs should share one or
two outdoor lightning protection box. In this case, each RRU set requires three outdoor cables.
If the site is designed to accomodate UMTS equipment only, each RRU set requires only one
outdoor
td cable.
bl
 If the outdoor cable length is between 145m and 290m, each outdoor lightning protection box
can only support one RRU. In this case, each RRU set requires six outdoor cables. If the site
is designed to accomodate UMTS equipment only, each RRU set requires only two outdoor
cables.
 If the cable length

protection box is more than 290m, it is recommended to position the RRU as close as
possible to the B8200 during project survey, and make sure the cabling route is less than
290m. If it is impossible to meet such requirements, give up the site and find a new one.
 It is required to finish laying outdoor cables once and for all in the first-phase installation. Lay
three or six outdoor cables for each RRU set. A surplus cable length of 3-5m should be
reserved at the indoor B8200 side for the installation of the indoor lightning protection box
during the second phase. The pre-laid cables at the RRU side should also provide a surplus
length, and waterproof treatment should be made.
RRU Cable Types
 Cabling Requirements in Outdoor Lightning Protection Box
 The inlet/outlet cables of the outdoor lightning protection box must be sealed
by passing through the sealing ring of the box for good leakproofness. If the 16
mm2 outdoor cables cannot pass through the sealing ring ring, remove itit, and then
lay the cables.
 Make sure the cable sequence is correct during the installation of the outdoor
lightning protection box, as shown in the figures below.Note: The power cable
that connects with the 2100M RRU must pass through the middle cabling hole.
The end of the unused cabling hole must be sealed by winding two rounds of
PVC insulating tape on it.

optical fibers and place them at the RRU side. A surplus optical fiber length of 3-5m should
be reserved at the B8200 side for the installation of the B8200 during the second phase.
Waterproof treatment should be made to the pre-laid optical fibers.
 If the site is designed to accomodate UMTS equipment only, each RRU set requires only
three outdoor optical fibers.
fibers
 Each optical fiber must be tested by using optical multimeter before and after laying. Fill
the detailed test results accurately into the Outdoor Fiber Test Record. Use optical
multimeter to test the loop-back loss of the optical fibers. The optical fibers are in good
condition if the loop-back loss is less than 1dB; otherwise, find out the reason or lay the
optical fibers again.
 Do not lay the outdoor optical fibers at the places where they will possibly be trampled
frequently. Otherwise, mount rigid PVC troughs or trough covers to protect the optical
fibers.
 Both ends of the connectors of any pre-laid or unused outdoor optical fiber must be

RRU Cable Types
 Alarm Cable Connections between RRU and Outdoor Lightning Protection Box
 Connect the alarm cable of the RRU to the outdoor lightning protection box by using
the white brown/brown wires at the dry contact 1, as shown in the figure below.
 Note: Strip off the alarm cable sheath until the wires show their colors (white
brown/brown).
RRU Cable Types
 5. Grounding Requirements of Outdoor Cables
 Both ends of each outdoor cable are grounded through the shielding layer of the cable fixed by a metal
fastener in the indoor/outdoor lightning protection box. Protective grounding is made to the lightning
protection box through grounding cables
cables, and the mental fastener connects with the grounding of the
lightning protection box, so no grounding cable is required at both ends of the outdoor cable. The 16mm2
cable cannot pass through the cabling hole on the outdoor lightning protection box until the cable sheath
is stripped off. The cable clip in the outdoor lightning protection box can be used to clamp 16mm2
shielding cables.
 If there is no lightning strip on the roof, it is acceptable to ground the outdoor cable at both sides. No
grounding is required in the middle
middle, as shown in the figure below
below.
 If there is a lightning strip on the roof, ground the outdoor cable at both sides when the cable length is
less than 30m. If the outdoor cable length is more than 30m on the roof, ground it once per 20m.
