Specifications
RRU3953/RRU3953w modules are remote radio units and can work in different modes with
different configurations and the software-defined radio (SDR) technique.

Supported Modes and Frequency Bands

The following table lists the modes and frequency bands supported by an RRU3953/RRU3953w.

RF Specifications
Table 2 lists radio frequency (RF) specifications of an RRU3953/RRU3953w.

NOTE:
ATBR in the RX and TX Channels column indicates that this RF module has A transmit channels
and B receive channels.
C x D W in the Output Power column indicates that this RF module is configured with C transmit
channels and the maximum output power of each transmit channel is D W.
EF MSR indicates that E and F data is carried on the same transmit channel of an RF module.
 The GSM receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 51.021, is measured at the antenna
connector on condition that the channel rate is 13 kbit/s and the Bit Error Rate (BER) is not higher
than 2%.
The LTE FDD receiver sensitivity is measured, as recommended in 3GPP TS 36.104, under a 5 MHz
channel bandwidth based on the FRC A1-3 in Annex A.1 (QPSK, R = 1/3, 25 RBs) standard.
The RRU3953/RRU3953w that works in GSM mode and operates in the 1800 MHz frequency band
complies with the EN 301 502 V9.2.1 standard.
The RRU3953/RRU3953w that works in LTE FDD or multiple service ring (MSR) mode and
operates in the 1800 MHz frequency band complies with the ETSI EN 301 908 V5.2.1 and 3GPP TS
37.104 standards.
When two LTE carriers are configured, it is recommended that the power spectrum density (PSD) of
the two carriers be set to the same value. Power spectrum density = Carrier output power/Carrier
bandwidth (1.4 MHz and 3 MHz bandwidths are considered as 5 MHz bandwidth in this formula.)

NOTE:
If the power sharing feature is activated, assume that UEs in a cell are randomly located.
If the RF module is placed at an altitude of 3500 to 4500 meters, its power reduces by 1 dB. If the RF
module is placed at an altitude of 4500 to 6000 meters, its power reduces by 2 dB.
Station spacing, frequency multiplexing factor, power control algorithm, and traffic model all affect
the gains of dynamic power sharing. In most cases, network plans are designed on the basis of power
specifications of dynamic power sharing.
 Before activating the dynamic power sharing feature, enable the DTX and power control functions. In
GBSS8.1, the dynamic power sharing feature is mutually exclusive with the GBFD-113201
Concentric Cell, GBFD-114501 Co-BCCH Cell, GBFD-118001 BCCH Dense Frequency
Multiplexing, and GBFD-117501 Enhanced Measurement Report (EMR) features. In GBSS9.0 and
later versions, the dynamic power sharing feature can be used together with these features. However,
the dynamic power sharing feature currently cannot be used together with the GBFD-117002 IBCA
(Interference Based Channel Allocation), GBFD-117001 Flex MAIO, GBFD-118701 RAN Sharing,
and GBFD-114001 Extended Cell features in GBSS8.1, GBSS9.0, and later versions.
For the RRU3953/RRU3953w working in GSM mode: when the S1 or S2 configuration is applied,
the maximum output power of each carrier on the RRU3953/RRU3953w is 60 W. If the output power
of 60 W is required, the related license must be obtained.After design optimization, the 8PSK and
GMSK modulation schemes enable the same output power for each carrier on the RF module when
any of the S1 through S6 configurations is used. When the S7 or S8 configuration is used, the license
controlling the GBFD-118104 Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature must be obtained. Otherwise, the
8PSK and GMSK modulation schemes cannot enable the same output power for each carrier on the
RF module.
The output power per carrier in the output power table provides the maximum output power
possible while ensuring the network performance.
