Overview
Goal of the Presentation:
This presentation attempts to layout the standard RRU and BBU configurations for the markets. Each
configuration is a per sector view.
The choice of RRU & BBU configurations depends on:
The required number of 1900 MHz Carriers (CDMA + EVDO)

Software release 2.0 timeline
Diplexers are to be avoided

Exceptions when Two 1900 MHz RRUs required and only 1 antenna possible (example Flag Pole)
If Towers can not support RRUs, then Ground Based alternative can be considered
.
1900MHz RRUs
1900 MHz RRU Configuration (For CDMA/EVDO Carriers = 1 to 4)

Note - The 800 MHz RRU only has 2 Transmit Paths. And, we only
have spectrum for 1 CDMA Carrier at this time.
BBUs
(for Markets with 1900 + 800 MHz)
BBU Configuration: For CDMA/EVDO Carriers = 1 to 6

(up to Five 1900 MHz + One 800 MHz)
BBU1 Needs:
1 CIMA cards (CDMA control)
3 CICA-A or CICA-D cards (CDMA & EVDO traffic)
Note, one of the CICA cards will have 800 MHz CDMA
BBU2 Needs:
1 UAMA card (LTE control)
1 L9CA card (for 2 5MHz carrier LTE)
BBU Configuration: For CDMA/EVDO Carriers = 7

(Six 1900 MHz + One 800 MHz)
BBU1 Needs:
BBU2 Needs:
BBU3 Needs:
1 CICA-A card (CDMA traffic)

(up to Eleven 1900 MHz + One 800 MHz)
BBU1 Needs:
3 CICA-A or CICA-D cards
(CDMA & EVDO traffic)
BBU2 Needs:
1 L9CA card (for 2 5MHz carrier
LTE)
BBU3 Needs:
Note 800 MHz CDMA is set on
one of the CICA cards
Note: For Sites with only 7 & 8 1900 MHz carriers

(after SR 2.0) the 2nd 1900 MHz RRU can be
avoided if all carriers are powered down 1dB
(**RF Approval required)
BBUs
(for Markets with only 1900 MHz)

(up to Six 1900 MHz + No 800 MHz)
BBU1 Needs:
BBU2 Needs:

(up to Twelve 1900 MHz + One 800 MHz)
BBU1 Needs:
BBU2 Needs:
1 L9CA card (for 2 5MHz carrier
LTE)
BBU3 Needs:
Note: For Sites with only 7 & 8 carriers (after

SR 2.0) the 2nd RRU can be avoided if all
carriers are powered down 1dB
(RF Approval Required)
Channel
Assignments
CICA-D cards
Can only do 1 EVDO carrier
And, can do 1 Voice carrier (either 800 or 1900 mHz)
CICA A cards
Can do 2 Voice Carriers (either carrier can be 1900 MHz or you can change
one to 800 MHz)
1 BBU can support 3 traffic cards (or 6 carriers)
But, 4 EVDOs will trigger 2nd BBU
1 RRU can handle 1 CDMA BBU + 1 LTE BBU
a second CDMA BBU would require a 2nd RRU
Attached is the formulas to calculate
The correct number of CICA-A & CICA-D cards
