1 RRU5513w Description

The RRU5513w is an outdoor remote radio unit that is powered by a power cabinet. It is the
RF part of a distributed base station and can be installed near an antenna. The RRU5513w
performs modulation, demodulation, data processing, and combination and division of
baseband signals and RF signals.
With the software-defined radio (SDR) technology, the RRU5513w can work in multiple
modes through software configuration.
The RRU5513w adopts a 4T4R design, which further improves the output power and carrier
capacity.

⚫ An RRU5513w (AWS+PCS) can work in the AWS frequency band, PCS frequency band, or both
frequency bands.
⚫ When the RRU5513w works in one frequency band, frequency band is used to indicate the band.
When the RRU5513w works in multiple frequency bands at the same time, frequency band
1+frequency band 2 is used to indicate the bands. For example, RRU5513w (AWS+PCS).
⚫ When the RRU5513w works in AWS and PCS dual frequency bands, the sum of the IBW on AWS
and the IBW on PCS is less than or equal to 105 MHz.
⚫ UMTS is not defined in 1770–1780 MHz (RX) and 2170–2180 MHz (TX). Therefore, the
RRU5513w cannot be configured with the UMTS RAT in these frequency ranges.
⚫ The RRU5513w (AWS+PCS) provides the PIM cancellation function.
⚫ Passive intermodulation (PIM) refers to the intermodulation effect caused by nonlinearities in the
passive components of an antenna system when high-power signals of multiple frequencies are
transmitted. This intermodulation effect decreases the uplink sensitivity and negatively affects the
network quality.
⚫ The maximum gain of PIM cancellation can reach 15 dB. This function reduces the negative impact
of the intermodulation effect on the system. The following factors impact PIM cancellation
performance:
⚫ Antennas: For example, the antenna experiences water corrosion, the antenna is aged, or the screws
inside the antenna are loose.
⚫ Connectors: For example, the jumper connector is not securely connected, and the jumper port is
corroded by water or aged.
⚫ External PIM issues: For example, metal obstacles (steel rope of the guyed mast, metal fence,
lightning protection ground bar, or billboard) exist near the radiation surface of the antenna.

RRU5513w
Description 2 RRU5513w (AWS+PCS) Technical Specifications

⚫ Other factors that may cause PIM

⚫ An RRU must be used in a simple antenna networking scenario where the RRU uses a fixed-length
jumper (≤ 6 m or 19.68 ft.) to directly connect to the antenna. In this scenario, there is no
intermediate component such as a combiner between the RRU and the antenna. The fixed-length
jumper is used because it can effectively mitigate the PIM effect.

a: ATBR in the TX/RX Mode column indicates that the RF module uses A transmit
channels and B receive channels.

⚫ 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.
⚫ 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. For details about the non-standard bandwidths that can
be configured for LTE FDD carriers, see Compact Bandwidth (FDD).

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 of a dual-band RRU5513w (AWS+PCS) on a single channel is

100 W. That is, if the total output power of all AWS carriers on a single RF channel is 50 W,
then the total output power of the PCS carriers to be configured cannot exceed 50 W.

⚫ 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 maximum level of cascading between an RRU and a BBU depends on the cascading
capability of the RRU working in different RATs and the bandwidth resources of the CPRI
ports on the BBU side. The following table provides the maximum level of cascading and
maximum distance between an RRU and a BBU when the RRU works in a single mode.
When the RRU works in multimode concurrency scenarios, the maximum level of cascading
and maximum distance between the multimode RRU and a BBU are determined by the
capabilities for the mode with the lowest capabilities.
