2 RRU Introduction

About This Chapter

This chapter describes the RRU.

The RRU performs the following functions:

l Exchanges baseband data with a BBU.

l Receives RF signals from the antenna system, converts the received signals into IF signals,

amplifies the IF signals, and performs analog-to-digital conversion. The TX channel filters downlink signals, performs digital-to-analog conversion, and converts IF signals into signals applicable to the TX band.

l Multiplexes RX and TX signals on the RF channel, which enables these signals to share

the same antenna path. It also filters RX and TX signals.

3.5 CPRI Fiber Optic Cable

CPRI fiber optic cables are classified into multi-mode fiber optic cables and single-mode fiber optic cables. They transmit CPRI signals.

NOTE

l An ODF can be used when the distance between a BBU and an RRU or the distance between

interconnected RRUs is longer than 100 m (328.08 ft).

l A single-mode fiber optic cable connects a BBU to an ODF or connects an ODF to an RRU.

The maximum length of a CPRI fiber optic cable is 150 m (492.12 ft) When the fiber optical cable connects a BBU and an RRU. The length of a CPRI fiber optic cable is 10 m (32.81 ft) when the fiber optical cable connects two RRUs.

Exterior

About This Chapter

This chapter describes remote radio unit (RRU) auxiliary devices.

4.1 IFS06

An Indoor Floor installation Support (IFS06) is used for installing indoor RRUs.

4.2 OCB

An Outdoor Cable Conversion Box (OCB) interconnects cables of different core diameters. Power cables shipped with RRUs cannot support long-distance power supply. Therefore, when power supply is far from the equipment, cables with large core diameters are used, and an OCB connects these cables and RRU power cables.
