Radio building blocks

A Radio Building Block (RBB) is a unique way of combining RUs or RRUs in one sector.
The RBB defines the capacity for a sector and the connections to the antenna system
and the DUs.
RBBs are named as follows:
RBB[Tx][Rx]_[C][V],
where: Tx
Rx
C
V

: Number of TX branches
: Number of RX branches (excluding co-siting RX ports)
: Number of CPRI links
: Version

Example:

RBB12_1A One TX branch

Two RX branches
One CPRI-link between DU and RU or RRU
Version A

RBB11_1A

RBB12_1A

RBB22_1A

RBB22_2A

RBB32_3A

RBB32_3B

RBB22_1B

RBB22_2B

RBB24_2A

RBB43_4A

RBB11_1A
RBB11_1A is used for sectors with one TX branch, one RX branches, one external RX
branch, and one CPRI connection. This RBB is used for co-siting and RX sharing.
