Introduction
Overview
The RRH is deployed in networks that support different technologies. Installing the
correct software is enough to migrate from one technology to another one.
It can also be shared by different operators (RAN sharing).
The RRH specified in this document operates in the following technologies:
Single technology
2G only (GSM)
3G only (W-CDMA)
4G only (LTE )1
Multi-technologies, using different modules for each technology:

2G/3G (GSM/W-CDMA)
2G/4G (GSM/LTE)1
3G/4G (W-CDMA/LTE ) 1
2G/3G/4G (GSM/W-CDMA/LTE) 1
Multi-technologies, using the same module for the different technologies:

2G/3G (GSM/W-CDMA)
2G/4G (GSM/LTE) 1
3G/4G (W-CDMA/LTE)1
2G/3G/4G (GSM/W-CDMA/LTE1)
Note: 1
The RRH 2X40-09 is hardware ready to the support LTE technology but the feature is
not yet implemented.
The RRH performs the transmission and reception of radio frequencies in the
corresponding frequency band. It also performs the baseband processing. It consists of
one digital-analog board and two power amplifier boards. The RRH 2X40-900 operates in
a reduced bandwidth down to 4.2 MHz, thus, GSM and W-CDMA signals use the same
available spectrum.
The RRH 2X40 supports antenna diversity.
If the 3G (or 4G) technology is used, the RRH is linked to the d2U or to the BBU through
a CPRI interface and optical fibers.
If the 2G technology is used, the RRH is connected to the BSC through a central
equipment called Station Unit Module (SUMx). This equipment is hosted either in an
existing BTS rack, or in a dedicated Site Support Cabinet (SSC). The SSC also integrates
AC/DC converters and batteries for power back-up.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Optical access
This function provides duplex optical communication towards the Node B site through
optical fibers using Single-Mode or Multi-Mode propagation:
In Single-Mode propagation, two variants of SM SFP are available:

The Single Mode Single Fiber (SM SF), one fiber carries both downlink and
uplink signals using Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM).
The Single Mode Dual Fiber (SM DF), carries the DL/UL in two separate fibers,
one fiber carries the downlink signal, and another fiber carries the uplink signal.
In Multi-Mode propagation, one fiber carries the downlink signal, and another fiber
carries the uplink signal.
Configuration/supervision
This function is in charge of configuring and supervising the modules as well as ensuring
inventory information reporting.
The remote inventory functionality allows the W-CDMA OAM access to determine the
state of the RRH.

The backplane is a multi-layer PCB. It distributes the 48/ 60 V DC, to power the
subrack equipment, and the digital signals to the SUMx module.
On the rear side of the back panel there is a Ribbon Cable C 64 M (DIN 41612)
connector. It is used to interconnect the subracks and the SUMx 19poste for future
applications.
The Abis Interface is the digital interface to the BSC. The SUMx provides four G.703
Abis interfaces.
They support the following communications links:
TCH, which carries speech and/or data

Radio configurations
The RRH can be linked to the BBU, using different configurations:
Star
Daisy-chain
Sector or repeater
The RRH is used as a:
Full 2G module
Full 3G module
2G/3G module
In a full GSM configuration, the SUMx is directly connected to the RRH 2X40W with
optical Ethernet cables (max. six RRH), while in a multistandard configuration the SUMx
is connected to the W-CDMA/LTE BBU module by the optical Ethernet cable and CPRI.
Star configuration
The star configuration information involves the following hardware components:
RRH on the remote site

An optical module on the Node B site, or a SUMx board
The implementation of the RRH solution allows to connect, in star configuration, a

maximum of six RRH to a BBU, or three RRHs to a SUMx. Each RRH provides service
to a single sector, which supports either a single-cell or a twin-cell configuration,
allowing a maximum of two managed cells per RRH. As a example, a maximum of
twelve remote cells can be provisioned with six RRH in a full 3G solution.

Figure 4-2 Daisy chain scheme example in a 2G full network
Sector or repeater configuration
An RRH operates in one of the following modes selected from OAM:
Sector mode to use the RRH as another remote sector not configured at Node B
Repeater mode to use the RRH as a local sector configured at Node B. This allows to
extend coverage of a local sector to rural or shadow areas.
When RRHs are used as repeaters on a 20-km optical fiber length, the cell size (set at the
OMC) of the last RRH in the daisy-chain cannot exceed 5 km.
To guarantee a continuity in mobility coverage, RRH cell management is based on the
following parameters:
Optical fiber length
Cell size
Soft handover (SHO) between local and remote cells
Combined configurations
The connection scheme can also be a combination of chain and ring and star as shown in
the next figure.

Multiple RRH per cell (optional)
To extend mobility coverage without adding cells to a Node B, Multiple RRH Sets (MRS)
can be used following the next rules:
An MRS contains one Cell-Mode RRH (CM RRH) acting as a normal cell, and
several Repeater-Mode RRHs (RM RRHs) acting as repeaters.
Up to four RM RRHs can be set in star or daisy-chain configuration.
Up to three MRSs can be connected to a d2U Node B in star configuration; and up to
six in daisy-chain configuration.
One MRS can support up to 12 cells and up to four carriers.
One BBU can support up to 12 RRHs.

OAM principles
OAM mastership rules
In 2G configuration the Operation and Maintenance Center (OMC 2G) is used as

management system, while in 3G it is the Wireless Management System (WMS 3G).
When RRH is in 2G and 3G mixed mode the 2G system (OMC 2G) is the master, and
RRH acts as a virtual machine for 3G usage. Therefore some actions such as hardware
reset, software upgrade are only managed by the OMC 2G.
