1 Introduction
1.1 Positioning
To keep abreast of rapidly advancing mobile communications technologies, mobile operators
are continually seeking partners who efficiently and cost-effectively provide cutting-edge
technologies with which to build high-quality, multimode-enabled, and future-oriented mobile
networks.
Upholding the concept of continuous innovation based on customer requirements, Huawei has
developed the future-oriented LampSite solution by integrating radio resources and multiple
technologies. This solution is designed to expand system capacity, fill in coverage holes, and
provide in-depth indoor coverage for multiple networking modes, such as GSM, UMTS, and
LTE.
The LampSite solution uses an optimized hardware and software architecture, featuring a
simple architecture, easy deployment, low capital expenditure (CAPEX), and in-depth
multi-mode coverage.
In the LampSite solution, the base station comprises the baseband unit (BBU), pico remote
radio unit (pRRU), and RRU HUB (RHUB). These modules can be flexibly combined to meet
different scenario requirements.
1.2 Benefits
Adopting a cutting-edge modular design, the LampSite solution is applicable to multiple
networking modes and can use a few different modules to accommodate all of the different
base station models. The solution is applicable to various installation scenarios, which
significantly reduces the network construction costs and Operation Expenditure (OPEX) of
operators during site acquisition, capacity expansion, and environment protection.
1.2.1 WCDMA and LTE
Easy Deployment
Network elements (NEs) are connected by optical fibers or Ethernet cables, which are
easy to deploy and low cost.
The pRRU supports both power over Ethernet (PoE) and AC-DC adapter power.
The pRRU has a modular design and supports flexible multi-mode configurations.

The LampSite solution is managed by the same operations support system (OSS) as the
macro network, and the entire network achieves E2E management.
High Performance
Cells can be split to expand system capacity.
The LampSite solution produces little background noise and has a high access success
rate and a low call drop rate.
The LampSite solution supports CPRI-MUX convergence and CPRI compression.
Smooth Evolution
With boards of different modes configured, multiple networking modes can coexist in one
BBU3900.
After their software configurations have been modified based on the software-defined radio
(SDR) technology, radio frequency (RF) modules support flexible multi-mode configurations.
Collaboration
Collaboration between indoor micro base stations in buildings improves the experience of
edge users and reduces the deployment cost of these base stations.
Collaboration between micro and macro base stations indoor and outdoor improves the
experience of their edge users and reduces the cost of network planning.
1.2.2 WLAN
In SRAN9.0 or later, Wi-Fi daughter boards can be configured on the pRRU. That is, the
pRRU can work on the Industrial Scientific & Medical frequency bands (ISM bands) 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz. With OFDM, DSSS, and CCK demodulation technologies supported, the
LampSite solution provides a data transmission rate of 300 Mbit/s on each frequency band.

OFDM refers to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, DSSS refers to direct sequence spread
spectrum, and CCK refers to complementary code keying.
Compliance with the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n standards, the LampSite solution uses two RF
units to provide a maximum transmission rate of 300 Mbit/s on each frequency band in
multiple input multiple output (MIMO) 2x2 mode when OFDM is used.
The LampSite solution works with brilliant performance and high stability. The
processor provides high throughput and robust load capability. The stable signal strength
and quality ensure reliable running of the wireless networks. Automatic power and
frequency adjustment and load balancing enable flexible and stable large-scale networks.
A rich variety of network security features are provided, such as protection against XML
denial-of-service (XDos) attacks, firewall, media access control (MAC) address filtering,
IP address filtering, and link integrity protection.
WLAN authentication and privacy infrastructure (WAPI), wired equivalent privacy
(WEP), Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), WPA2, and 802.1X are supported to ensure
network security.

2.4 pRRU3901 Equipment
The pRRU, a remote radio unit, processes RF signals as follows:
The transmit channel receives the baseband signals from the BBU and performs
digital-to-analog conversion. The baseband signals are up-converted to the transmit
frequency band using the zero IF technology. The pRRU then filters and amplifies the
signals, which are sent to the antenna for transmission.
The receive channel receives the RF signals from the antenna. Then, the RF signals are
down-converted to baseband signals and sent to the BBU for processing after being
filtered and amplified.

The CPRI data can be transmitted only using the Ethernet cable.
pRRU3901 supports the following:
Built-in or external antennas
PoE and AC/DC adapter
Flexible multi-mode configurations, with built-in RF daughter boards for multiple radio access
technologies (RATs)
Wi-Fi daughter boards supporting data transmission services
2.4.1 pRRU3901 Exterior
A pRRU can have two transmission ports or three transmission ports. The pRRU with three
transmission ports can be configured with a Wi-Fi daughter board to connect to the AC and
provide Wi-Fi services. Unless otherwise specified, this document uses the pRRU with three
transmission ports as an example.
