Hardware Description 2 Applicable Cabinets for RFUs
2 Applicable Cabinets for RFUs
This chapter describes applicable cabinets for RFUs and serves as a reference for RFU
configurations.
The maximum transmit power of an RFU varies from model to model. For an RFU with a high
transmit power, it has high requirements for power distribution and heat dissipation of cabinets.
Therefore, low-power RFUs can be configured in any cabinets, but high-power RFUs can be
configured in only Ver.C cabinets, Ver.D cabinets (including cabinets with capabilities
equivalent to Ver.D cabinets after being upgraded), and BTS3900AL (Ver.A) cabinets.
The following table describes applicable cabinets for RFUs.

This section describes MRFU hardware and its technical specifications.
3.1.1 MRFU Description

This section describes MRFU hardware, including panels, functions, principles, indicators, and
ports.
Panel
MRFUs consist of MRFU V1, MRFU V2, and MRFU V2a. They can be identified by their
labels. An MRFU V1 is labeled V0 or V1, an MRFU V2 is labeled V2, and an MRFU V2a is
labeled V2a, as shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 MRFU panel
Principle
An MRFU consists of the high-speed interface unit, signal processing unit, power amplifier, and
duplexer. The following figure shows the logic structure of an MRFU.

RFU
Figure 3-2 Logic structure of an MRFU
Function
An MRFU performs the following functions:
l Performs digital up-convert on intermediate frequency (IF) signals on the transmitting

channel, and modulates baseband signals to RF signals. After being filtered and amplified,
the RF signals are sent by the duplex filter to the antenna.
l Receives RF signals from the antenna system and then down-converts the received signals
to IF signals. After being amplified, analog-to-digital converted, digital down-converted,
matched filtered, and digital automatic gain control (DAGC) processed, the IF signals are
sent to the BBU for further processing.
l Controls power.
l Tests the VSWR.
l Manages the TMA power feeding and RET antennas.
l Controls the DPD feedback.
l Generates the CPRI clock, recovers the CPRI clock from out-of-synchronization, and
detects alarms.
Indicator

NOTE
l If the power sharing feature is activated, assume that UEs in a cell are randomly located.
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.
l For the MRFU working in GSM mode: The maximum output power of the RF module in S1 configuration
is 60 W. To achieve the maximum output power, you need to buy a license.
l For the MRFU V2/MRFU V2a working in GSM mode and operating in the 900 MHz frequency band: After
design optimization, the 8 phase shift keying (8PSK) and Gaussian minimum shift-frequency keying
(GMSK) modulation schemes enable the same output power for each carrier on the the RF module when
the S1, S2, or S3 configuration is used. When the S4, S5, or S6 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.
l For the MRFU V2/MRFU V2a working in GSM mode and operating in the 1800 MHz frequency band:
When the S4, S5, or S6 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.

NOTE
l The MRFUe that works in GSM mode and operates in the 900 or 1800 MHz frequency band complies with
the EN 301 502 V9.2.1 standard.
l The MRFUe that works in UMTS, LTE, or multiple service ring (MSR) mode and operates in the 900 or
1800 MHz frequency band complies with the ETSI EN 301 908 V5.2.1 and 3GPP TS 37.104 standards.

NOTE
l For the MRFUe working in GSM mode: when the S1 configuration is applied, the maximum output power
of each carrier on the MRFUe is 125 W; when the S2 configuration is applied, the maximum output power
of each carrier on the MRFUe is 60 W. If the output power of 60 W, 80 W, or 125 W is required, the related
license must be obtained. After design optimization, the 8 phase shift keying (8PSK) and Gaussian minimum
shift-frequency keying (GMSK) modulation schemes enable the same output power for each carrier on the
the RF module when the S1, S2, or S3 configuration is used. When any of the S4 through S8 configurations
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 MRFUe.

l In SRAN6.0, if the MRFUe is configured with two LTE carriers, the bandwidth of the two carriers
can be 1.4, 3, 5, or 10 MHz.
l In SRAN7.0, if the MRFUe is configured with two LTE carriers, the bandwidth of the two carriers
cannot exceed 15 MHz at the same time.Therefore, the "15+15, 15+20, and 20+20" configurations
cannot apply to the two carriers. The maximum configuration can be 10+20 only.

Panel
The following figure shows the CRFUd panel.

Principle
A CRFUd consists of the high-speed interface unit, signal processing unit, power amplifier, and
duplexer. The following figure shows the logic structure of a CRFUd.

RFU
Figure 3-24 Logic structure of a CRFUd
Function
A CRFUd performs the following functions:
to IF signals. After amplification, analog-to-digital conversion, digital down-conversion,
and matched filtering, the IF signals are sent to the BBU3900 for further processing.
l Receives DL baseband signals from the BBU3900, filters DL signals, performs digital-to-
analog conversion, and up-converts RF signals to the TX band.
l Multiplexes RX and TX signals, which enables these signals to share the same antenna
channel. It also filters the RX and TX signals.
