1.1.2GSM/UMTS Radio Access Network

Abstract
This chapter briefly introduces the GSM/UMTS radio access network.
A mobile telecommunication system consists of a Radio Access Network (RAN), a Core Network (CN), and User Equipment
(UE), as shown in Figure1. ZXSDR BS8900A GU360, serving as a base station (BTS/Node B), can be deployed in a
GSM/UMTS radio access network, which supports both GSM and UMTS technologies. BTS/Node B and BSC/RNC constitute
a Base Station Subsystem (BSS). ZXSDR BS8900A GU360 can also work with a Remote Radio Unit (RRU).
Figure1 GSM/UMTS Radio Access Network
Core Network
A Core Network (CN) comprises physical entities that provide network features and telecommunications services. It manages
local information of subscribers, controls network and service functions, and transfers signalling and subscriber information.
Radio Access Network

Different types of radio access networks can be deployed, depending on the supported technologies.
A GSM radio access network consists of Base Station Controller (BSC) and Base Transceiver Station (BTS). It is between
Mobile Station (MS) and the Core Network (CN).
A UMTS radio access network consists of Radio Network Controller (RNC) and base station (Node B). It is between User
Equipment (UE) and the CN.
RNC, Node B, and UE are terms used in UMTS equivalent to BSC, BTS, and MS used in GSM.
Radio Network Controller/Base Station Controller

A RNC/BSC, connecting to the CN and Node B/BTS, manages radio links and optimizes radio resources. One RNC/BSC can
manage multiple Node Bs/BTSs.
Base Station
A base station (Node B/BTS), provides radio resources, and transmits and receives radio signals. It consists of BaseBand Unit
(BBU) and Radio Frequency Unit (RFU), which implement different functions.
BBU: This unit implements the processing of baseband signals, including encoding/decoding, multiplexing/demultiplexing,
spreading/despreading, and channel mapping.
RFU: This unit receives and transmits radio signals. A Remote RF Unit (RRU) refers to an RFU mounted near an antenna,
which is far away from the base station or BBU.
Interfaces
3GPP specifies the following open interfaces for the GSM/UMTS radio access network.
Iu interface: This interface connects an RNC to the CN.

Iur interface: This interface connects two RNCs. It allows data transfer during soft handover of a UE between RNCs.
Iub interface: This interface connects a Node B and an RNC.
Uu interface: This interface connects a UE and a Node B.

Jumpers
In ZXSDR B8200 GU360, jumpers are located on the SA/SE board. The jumper setting on the SA board is consistent with
that on the SE board.
Note:
When the jumper cap is removed, it means 0 (OFF). When the jumper cap is inserted, it means 1 (ON).
With the SA/SE jumpers, you can configure transmission mode over the uplink/downlink E1, uplink/downlink T1, and the
BDS_ID cascaded connection. Figure21 describes the jumpers on a SA/SE board.
Figure21 Location of SA/SE Jumpers
Caps for MODE_ABIS and BDS_ID jumpers on the SA/SE board should be inserted, and the setting principle of these two
jumpers is shown as follows:
The MODE_ABIS is used to set uplink/downlink long-line/short-line mode and E1/T1 mode.
For ZXSDR B8200 GU360, merely short-line mode can be configured. Therefore, do not insert jumper caps to the two
MSB positions at MODE_ABIS (MODE_ABIS3,2>).
The two LSB positions of MODE_ABIS (MODE_ABIS1,0>) are used to set E1/T1 mode. For details, please refer to
