 ZXSDR B8902 Product Description

1 Overview
The ZXSDR B8902 is a compact design BBU, which features a small volume, low power
consumption, high density and zero noise. It is natural heat dissipation function can be
used for both indoor and outdoor application scenarios with IP65 protection. The unit
can be mounted on the wall or on the pole, no need extra cabinet. And it can be flexibly
installed near RRU to save the CPRI optical resources.

The following figure shows the position of the ZXSDR B8902 in the TD-LTE network.

4.3 Software Architecture

The functionality of ZXSDR B8902 is totally the same as traditional BBU, the
software architecture of the ZXSDR B8902 is also consistent with B8200, including:
application software layer, platform software layer and hardware layer

For more information, refer to the following figure.

Figure 4-4 ZXSDR B8902 Software Architecture

The application software layer provides functions of:

ZTE Confidential & Proprietary 9

 ZXSDR B8902 Product Description

 Radio Network Layer Control plane (RNLC)

 Radio Network Layer User plane (RNLU)

 SCHEDULER (scheduler sub-system)

 PHY (Physical layer)

The platform software provides the functions of Operation Support Sub-system (OSS),
Operating and Maintenance (OAM), Data Base Sub-system (DBS), Bearer Sub-system
(BRS) and System Control Sub-system (SCS):

 OSS is the support layer in this entire framework, which is a hardware independent
platform for running software and provides basic functions like scheduling, timer,
memory management, communication, sequencing control, monitoring, alarming
and logging.

 OAM provides the configuration, alarm and performance measurement function for
eNodeB.

 DBS is the database system.

 BRS provides the IP communication function for inter-boards and inter-network

elements.

 SCS provides the power control and system management function.

DSP and CPU are adopted at the hardware layer with Linux operating system.
