Figure 3 ZXSDR BS8906E Structure
The ZXSDR BS8906E internal signal flow is as follows:

 Forward
 The data from BSC goes into the BBU through the CC. The CC terminates IP
transmission protocol over Abis interface; The CC sends the data to CVI via
Gigabit Ethernet (GE). The CVI performs modulation, multiplexing and IQ

switching of the data. After de-multiplexing, frame generation, parallel-to-serial

conversion, the data is finally distributed to RSU via CPRI interface.
 The TR receives the data after baseband modulation via the CPRI interface,
performs up conversion of the data, and then sends the data to the PA. The PA
amplifies the power of the input signal from the TR and then sends it to the
DFL. The DFL processes the RF signal and then sends it via the antenna.
 Reverse
 The reverse CDMA signal from the antenna is sent to the TR after through the
DFL. Then the CDMA signal is converted to a baseband digital signal by the
TR and sent to the baseband via the CPRI interface.
 After receiving the baseband signal from the RSU, the IQ SW of the CVI
demultiplexes and demodulates the signal to get a service packet. Then the
CVI converts the service packet to Ethernet frames and send the frames to the
CC via GE. Then the CC processes the transmission protocol of Abis interface
over IP and sends it to the BSC through E1/T1 or Ethernet. The BS8906E also
supports IP Ethernet access mode.
The BS8906E baseband cabinet (BC8906) can be separately configured as an outdoor

BBU. In this case, the RF cabinet and the RSU are not required.

5.9 BS Clock Indices

 BS Clock Indices:

-10
Frequency reference: 10 MHz. Its accuracy should be smaller than 10 in the
locked GPS status or the hold status.

-9
Temperature: < ±0.5*10
 Clock synchronous source
Once the synchronous source is lost for a while or the BS clock is lost in
synchronization, dual-ovenized crystal is adopted to ensure the stability of clock for

a short period, and it guarantees that phase wander is less than 10µs within 24
hours through the HOLDOVER algorithm. Therefore the BS can run normally.
 Clock System Performance
 Frequency tolerance < 0.05 ppm
 Phase tolerance < 10 us

6 Networking Mode and Application
6.1 Networking Mode
6.1.1 Abis Interface Networking Mode
The ZXSDR BS8906E is connected to the ZXC10 BSC via the Abis interface or
connected to the macro BS in the daisy chain. Physically, these interfaces can be E1/T1
or Ethernet interfaces. Figure 5 shows Abis interface networking mode.

Figure 9 Abis Interface Networking Mode
 The BSC is connected with ZXSDR BS8906E by E1/T1, and the networking mode
can be star or chain.
 Star networking mode: Each BS8906E is connected to BSC point to point, that
is, directly (by E1/T1) or indirectly (by external transmission equipment). This
mode is simple and reliable.
 Chain networking mode: Several BSs are connected in one chain and the last
BS8906E is connected to BSC. It is suitable for zonary areas.
 The combination of star and chain modes can be adopted.
 The BS8906E supports SDH and SONET transmission modes with the built-in
transmission sub-rack.
 The BSC is connected with the ZXSDR BS8906E through GE port, which provides
many flexible networking modes for customers:
 The BSC is connected with the ZXSDR BS8906E through Ethernet cable.

 The BSC is connected with the ZXSDR BS8906E through Hub or Switch.
 The BSC is connected with several ZXSDR BS8906Es through router.
 The BS8906E supports SDH and SONET transmission modes with the built-in NIS
or transmission sub-rack.
6.1.2 Baseband-RF Networking Mode
The baseband-RF interface of the ZXSDR BS906 supports CPRI protocol. The BBU can
be connected with the RSU inside the cabinet or the RRUs through fibers. In this case,
star networks and chain networks are supported.
 Star networking mode: The fiber number from the BBU equals to the total number of
RF stations. The number of fiber is high, but the reliability of this mode also is high.
 Chain networking mode: The number of fibers is low, but the reliability of this mode
also is low.

6.2 Applications
The ZXSDR BS8906E features flexible installation and wide applications due to large
capacity and small size. It is suitable for outdoor and indoor applications as well as edge
networks.

6.3 Multi-Band Application

The ZXSDR BS8906E can support multiple bands by connecting external RRUs or by
cascading RRUs.
