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

NOTE

● 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).

channel is C W.

NOTE

● 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 6 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.

NR SUL Carrier Configurations


This section describes the numbers of LTE FDD carriers and NR FDD carriers that
can be configured on the LTE uplink spectrum after the LTE and NR uplink
spectrum sharing feature is enabled.

NOTE

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.

3.3 RRU5301 (800 MHz) CPRI Port Specifications


The CPRI port specifications include the number of CPRI ports, port protocol, port

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 lists 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.

5.3 RRU5301 (2600 MHz) CPRI Port Specifications


The CPRI port specifications include the number of CPRI ports, port protocol, port
rate, and maximum level of cascading and maximum distance with a BBU.

Number of CPRI Ports Protocol Type Port Rate (Gbit/s)

2 CPRI 1.25/2.5/4.9/9.8

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 lists 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.

RRU5301
Technical Specifications 6 RF Output Power Configuration Rules

6 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.).

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.

Issue 01 (2020-10-10) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 24


RRU5301
Technical Specifications 6 RF Output Power Configuration Rules

● 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.
– 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.
NOTE

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).
