part of a distributed base station and can be installed near the antenna. The RRU5909
performs modulation, demodulation, data processing, and combination and division of
baseband signals and RF signals.
With the software-defined radio (SDR) technology, the RRU5909 can work in multiple modes
through software configuration. With the feature of LTE FDD and NR uplink spectrum
sharing, the RRU5909 can work in NR, LN, and GLN.
The RRU5909 adopts a 2T2R design, which further improves the output power and carrier
capacity.

 The GSM receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 51.021, is measured at the antenna
connector assuming that the channel rate reaches 13 kbit/s and the bit error rate (BER) is lower than
or equal to 2%.
 The UMTS receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 25.104, is measured at the antenna
connector assuming that the channel rate reaches 12.2 kbit/s and the BER is lower than or equal to
0.1%.
 The LTE FDD receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 36.104, is measured under a 5 MHz
bandwidth based on the FRC A1-3 in Annex A.1 (QPSK, R = 1/3, 25 RBs) standard.
 The LTE NB-IoT receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 36.104, is measured under a 200
KHz bandwidth and a 15 KHz subcarrier spacing based on the FRC A14-1 in Annex A.14 (π/2
BPSK, R = 1/3, 1 RB) standard.

2.4 Typical Output Power

 The Output Power per Carrier in the output power tables indicates the maximum output power
supported by the network performance.
(a)
 in the following indicates that LTE NB-IoT cells can be deployed only in inband mode.

Issue 07 (2018-09-07) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 7

RRU5909 Description 2 Technical Specifications

 The inband & guardband table in the following describes the total output power of LTE FDD+LTE
NB-IoT. For the detailed power configuration of LTE FDD and LTE NB-IoT, see NB-IoT (inband
& guardband) Power Configuration Combination.
 When two LTE FDD carriers are configured, it is recommended that the power spectrum 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.)
 The output power is 1 dB less than the standard power when an RRU is located at a height of 3500
m to 4500 m; and is 2 dB less than the standard power when the RRU is located at a height of 4500
m to 6000 m.
 For an RRU working in GSM mode, the maximum output power per TRX is 60 W when the S1 or
S2 configuration is used. If the output power of 60 W is required, the corresponding power license
must be purchased.
 Factors such as the inter-site distance, frequency reuse factor, power control algorithm, and traffic
model affect the gains of dynamic power sharing. In most cases, network plans are designed based
on the power specifications allocated by dynamic power sharing.
 When the power sharing function is used:
− Assume that UEs in a cell are randomly distributed.
− The DTX and power control switches must be turned on. In GBSS8.1, the dynamic power sharing
feature is mutually exclusive with the GBFD-113201 Concentric Cell, GBFD-114501 Co-BCCH
Cell, GBFD-118001 BCCH Dense Frequency Multiplexing, and GBFD-117501 Enhanced
Measurement Report (EMR) features. In GBSS9.0 and later versions, the dynamic power sharing
feature can be used together with these features. In GBSS8.1, GBSS9.0, and later versions, the
dynamic power sharing feature cannot be used together with the GBFD-117002 IBCA
(Interference Based Channel Allocation), GBFD-117001 Flex MAIO, GBFD-118701 RAN
Sharing, and GBFD-114001 Extended Cell features.
