● An RRU5501 can work in the 1800 MHz frequency band, 2100 MHz frequency band, or
both frequency bands.
● When the RRU5501 works in one frequency band, frequency band is used to indicate the
band. When the RRU5501 works in multiple frequency bands at the same time,
frequency band 1+frequency band 2 is used to indicate the bands. For example:
RRU5501 (1800 MHz+2100 MHz).

a: ATBR in the TX/RX Mode column indicates that the RF module uses A
transmit channels and B receive channels.
The bandwidth information in Supported Bandwidth is the standard bandwidth that can
be configured for a single-mode carrier when only one carrier is configured. In any carrier
combination scenario, the total bandwidth of all carriers cannot exceed the IBW value. For
details about the bandwidth that can be configured for each carrier in each carrier
combination scenario, see Output Power Configuration in the following table.

a: AxC W in the Maximum Output Power column indicates that the number of
TX channels of the RF module is A and the maximum output power of each TX
channel is C W.
The maximum output power that can be configured for a single channel in a
single frequency band of the RRU5501 is 60 W, and the maximum output power
that can be configured for a single channel in two frequency bands is 60 W. That
is, if 1800 MHz carriers have been configured on a single RF channel and the total
output power of all 1800 MHz carriers is 30 W, the total output power of 2100
MHz carriers to be configured for this channel cannot exceed 30 W.
● The Typical Power Configurations document includes the configurable carrier

combinations and the output power of each carrier in each combination. Before
referring to this document, you must be familiar with the output power configuration
rules. For details, see 4 RF Output Power Configuration Rules.
● Each value of Output Power per Carrier (W) in the Typical Power Configurations
document indicates the maximum output power of each carrier under the
corresponding configuration while ensuring the network performance. The actually
configured carrier power of RF modules can be less than or equal to the value of
Output Power per Carrier (W) in the document. The power configuration that is not
supported in the document may be configurable on the software. Huawei can only
promise the performance with the power configurations listed in the document.

The uplink bandwidth of an LTE carrier enabled with uplink spectrum sharing must be the
same as the uplink bandwidth of an NR carrier. For detailed bandwidth, see the value in the
Bandwidth per NR SUL Carrier (MHz) column in the preceding table. The uplink
bandwidth of an LTE carrier that is not enabled with uplink spectrum sharing is not limited
by the NR SUL bandwidth.

10ºC (50ºF) less than or equal to its maximum rated value. This is dependent on
installation scenario, traffic load, and carrier configuration.

RRU5501
Technical Specifications 4 RF Output Power Configuration Rules
4 RF Output Power Configuration Rules
This chapter describes the rules for configuring RF output power.
General Rules
● For an nT RF module (n is 2, 4, or 8), the restriction is as follows:
, where PAi indicates the number of carriers of transmit

channel i; Pi indicates the output power of each carrier of transmit channel i;
PAt indicates the total number of carriers configured in this RF module; P
indicates the maximum output power supported by each carrier.
● The output power is 1 dB less than the standard power when an RF module is
located at a height of 3500 m (11482.80 ft.) to 4500 m (14763.60 ft.); and is
2 dB less than the standard power when the RF module is located at a height
of 4500 m (14763.60 ft.) to 6000 m (19684.80 ft.).
GSM Output Power Configuration Rules

● Output Power per GSM Carrier With Dynamic Power Sharing is the
available maximum output power for every carrier during dynamic power
sharing. If this power is exceeded, the system cannot guarantee the network
performance and will report an alarm.
● If the output power per carrier on a single channel is required to be 60 W, the
corresponding power license item must be purchased.
● Before using the GSM power sharing function, ensure that the license item
"Resource-BSC6900-LGMIDPS-Dynamic Power Sharing (per TRX)" has been
purchased. To enable the power sharing function, run the SET
GCELLCHMGAD command with QTRUPWRSHARE set to DYNAMIC and
MultiGSMDynPWShareSW set to ON.
● For the GBTS and eGBTS, the output power per carrier of the same RF module
is the same. However, the unit of the output power per carrier is W for the
GBTS and dBm for the eGBTS. The conversion relationship between unit W
and unit dBm is as follows: dBm = 10 x log (1000 x W, 10). For example, when
an RRU works in GSM mode, the output power per carrier that can be
configured for the GBTS is 60 W (GMSK). Then, the output power per carrier
that can be configured for the eGBTS is 10 x log (1000 x 60, 10), which is
rounded off to 47.8 dBm (GMSK).

UMTS Output Power Configuration Rules

The bandwidth per UMTS carrier is 5 MHz.
LTE FDD Output Power Configuration Rules

When two LTE FDD carriers are configured, it is recommended that the power
spectral density (PSD) of the two carriers be set to the same value. PSD = Carrier
output power/Carrier bandwidth (1.4 MHz and 3 MHz bandwidths are considered
as 5 MHz bandwidth in this formula.)
LTE NB-IoT Output Power Configuration Rules

● The formulas for calculating the minimum NB-IoT power per PA for an RF
module are as follows:
– When an NB-IoT cell works in guardband or inband mode, the minimum
NB-IoT power per PA for an RF module is equal to the rated total power
per PA divided by 10000. When an NB-IoT cell works in standalone mode,
the minimum NB-IoT power per PA for an RF module is equal to the
rated total power per PA divided by 100.
– For example, the maximum output power of an RRU is 2x60 W. The
minimum NB-IoT power per PA for the RRU when NB-IoT cells work in
standalone mode is equal to 0.6 W (60 W/100).
● In standalone mode, the bandwidth spacing between two NB-IoT carriers
must be less than or equal to 300 kHz.
● When the LTE bandwidth is 5 MHz, LTE NB-IoT cells cannot be deployed in
guardband mode.
● After the NB-IoT multi-carrier function is enabled, one NB-IoT multi-carrier
cell can be configured with multiple NB-IoT carriers.
– When an NB-IoT multi-carrier cell is configured in standalone mode, a
maximum of four NB-IoT carriers can be configured.
– When an NB-IoT multi-carrier cell is configured in inband mode and the
LTE bandwidth is 5 MHz, a maximum of four NB-IoT carriers can be
configured. If the LTE bandwidth is 10/15/20 MHz, a maximum of eight
NB-IoT carriers can be configured for an NB-IoT multi-carrier cell.

RRU5501
– When a cell is configured with multiple NB-IoT carriers, the cell can have
only one anchor carrier but can have multiple non-anchor carriers.
The NB-IoT multi-carrier function is an NB-IoT multi-carrier transmission

technology introduced based on 3GPP Release 13. An NB-IoT cell can have
multiple carriers and assigns UEs to multiple carriers to increase cell capacity. For
details about this function and related parameter settings, see NB-IoT
Enhancements (FDD) in the eRAN FDD Feature Documentation.
NR Output Power Configuration Rules

To ensure the performance of an NR cell, the minimum configurable output power
of the NR cell is equal to the total rated power per PA for an RF module (unit: W)
divided by 16.
For example, the maximum output power of an RRU is 2x80 W. When you
configure an NR cell, the minimum configurable output power of the NR cell is 5
W (80 W/16).
Multimode Output Power Configuration Rules

● GSM, UMTS, and LTE FDD carriers cannot be configured on the same channel
simultaneously.
● The output power per carrier must be balanced among multiple channels if
possible.
● Non-MSR and MSR
– Non-MSR: Carriers of different RATs cannot be configured on the same
RF channel. For example, a 2T RF module supports GU. If GSM carriers
are configured on PA1, then UMTS carriers cannot be configured on PA1.
That is, UMTS carriers can be configured only on PA2, and GSM carriers
cannot be configured on PA2.
– MSR: Carriers of different RATs can be configured on the same RF
channel. For example, a 2T RF module supports GU. Both GSM carriers
and UMTS carriers can be configured on PA1 or PA2 simultaneously.
● The GU frequency spacing can be calculated using the following formula: GU
frequency spacing ≥ [(GSM bandwidth/2) + (UMTS bandwidth/2)].
