1.1 Basic Principles

By introducing the RRU, a single Node B is split into a CP central part base
band shelf (SUMU + BB boards) and in RRH remote part for receive and
transmit radio frequency handling. Each RRH replaces one ANRU and one
TEU. It is designed for outdoor use and is usually mounted nearby the antenna.
The following figure shows the Node B central part and the remote RF part.
The Node B central part holds the:
Iub fixed line
Network transmission part
Signal processing part.
The remote RF part holds the:
RF transmission part
Antenna stage part.

1 RRU Architecture
1.1.1 Optical Interface RRI

The new RRI interface is the key part of the RRU. This interface connects
the CP with the remotized RF section RRH. The RBI, BTI and the IOM are
mapped to the RRI. One SFP terminates one RRI.
The telecom traffic between the CP and the RRH, i.e. the BTI links between the
first cluster BBs and RTEUs and the RBI links between the MANRUs and the
BBs, are conveyed between TROC and MTROC as Ethernet frames.
The physical connections for the RRI uses optic fibers between Node B and
RRH.
1.1.2 RRU Central Part

Extending the Node B architecture for the use of remote RF equipment, the
Node B is reduced to a CP; the SUMU, the BB plus an additional transport
interface.
At Node B a new module, the Transmit and Receive to Optical Converter
TROC, replaces the TRAB board.
The TROC:
has six slots for SFP modules
supplies the SFPs with low voltage power
supervises the SFPs (e.g. RRI link quality or SFP temperature)
serves the SFPs with all Node B internal signals.
1.1.3 RRH
The RRH holds the RF section plus the additional RRI transport interface.
Compared to the standard Node B, in RRH the ANR is replaced by the MANRU
and the TEU is replaced by the RTEU.
The MTROC handles the interface with the CP. It also handles the control and
O&M functions for the RRH.
The RRH holds up to two SFPs. In point to point connections only one SFP
is equipped and there is no redundancy for link failures at the RRI link, the
attached SFPs or the RRH itself. If protection for the RRI is mandatory, the
RRH can be operated in a ring. In this case two SFPs are installed.

Z3EV00007-0035 Ed.03

1 RRU Architecture
1.1.4 OAM
In the CP the SUMU OAM software controls the local boards (BBs, TROC) via
BCB and IOM, like in the standard Node B.
SUMU OAM also controls the remote modules (MTROC, MANRU, RTEU)
via BCB and IOM. But, as the local BCB and BSII buses do not exist for
the remote modules, BCB/IOM are routed through TROC and MTROC to
the remote modules.
The protocol used is TCP/IP over Ethernet; IOMR over TCP/IP is used to
build IOM and BCB frames.
TROC does not see anything from IOM, BCB or TCP/IP; it has a pure Ethernet
switching functionality.
RRH has no OAM impact for existing modules (BB, (M)TEU, (M)ANRU) except
for SUMU.
The existing OAM scenarios are maintained. I.e. once the link between
MTROC and TROC is configured, it is transparent for the OAM SW, if the
modules ((R)TEU, (M) ANR) are remote or local.
The new modules TROC and MTROC support the standard OAM scenarios like
software downloading and activating, configuration, alarm reporting.

1.2.2 Basic RRH Configuration

The RRH shares the form factor and the installation concept with the Micro
Node B. Also some Micro Node B elements are re-used.
The receive sensitivity is about the same as with the standard Node B.
Due to different transport scenarios two variants of SFPs are supported. One
or two SFPs can be equipped on site.
After the configuration of TROC/MTROC, the RBI/BTI links are available as in
the CP. RBI/BTI cabling detection is only possible after the configuration of
TROC and MTROC.

1.2.3 Rx Low Redundancy

Rx Redundancy means that the Rx path of a sector is served by two different
ANRUs. With Rx Low Redundancy the same ANRU/RRH serves a sector with
the consequence that in case of failure of this ANRU the sector is disabled.

1.3 Interfaces and Interconnections

1.3.1 RRU Connection Principles
The RRU system can be configured for a lot of applications.
In the following the basic principles for configuring a RRU system are given:
One Node B can serve up to six sectors.
One RRI link is capable of handling the traffic of in minimum one sector
(e.g. one RRH).
A remote site with one or more RRHs is linked to the Node B by a single or
multiple RRI.
The RRI type (link speed) is depending on the required RF performance
(number of IQ bits), numbers of sectors and number of carriers.
The SFP type is depending on the RRI interconnect length, required line
rate and link redundancy.
The distance between the RRHs on the same site (e.g. Tree) is limited by
the max. interconnection length of 100 m.
1.3.2 BTI Connections

The BTI links are routed over TROC and MTROC to the destination RTEU.
Only active BTI links are routed. Active BTI links are assigned by the HSIF
computation. TROC is configured to switch the correct BTI links to the remote
RTEUs and local TEUs. The remote RTEUs are addressed with MAC
addresses. The local TEUs are connected with BTI cables from the BTI front
panel.
1.3.3 RBI Connections

The RBI links are routed over MTROC and TROC from MANR to the BBs.
Only active RBI links are routed. Active RBI links are assigned by the HSIF
computation. MTROC is configured to switch the RBI links to the correct RBI
connectors at TROCs backplane.
1.3.4 RRI
The RRI is the transport interface between the CP and the RRH.
The RRI is a transport interface being not covered by the 3GPP standard.
The SFP grey single mode fiber covers:
2.4576 GBps
10 km distance.
For more details of the SFP refer to Optical Interconnection between CP and
RRH (Section 3.7).

1 RRU Architecture
1.3.5 RF Connectors
The RF interface is consisting of the following connectors on the upper shelf of
the RRU housing:
ANTA holds the receive and transmit signal through the A part of the
RANU diplexer
ANTB holds the receive signal through the B part receive filter of the RANU.
1.3.6 XRT Interface

The RRH is equipped with a serial RS232 interface. It is used to establish a
PPP connection to an external device. The RRH acts as PPP Server, i.e. the
MTROC is responsible for the IP address assignment (NCP) for the PPP
interface on the external device.
The usage of the RS232 interface is foreseen for the antenna tilt controller
(ADC).
1.3.7 MMI Maintenance Terminal Interface

The RRH is equipped with a dedicated RJ45 port for maintenance purposes. It
is used to connect a LMT running the NEM-B tool. The terminal is an ethernet
host and is configured as DHCP client.
1.3.8 External Alarm Interface

On this interface eight external alarms can be connected. The external alarm
interface is connected to the BCB terminal on the MTROC.

2.6 Top of Cover with Fan

The top of cover with fan is only used for the RRH in an extended temperature
range. Up to an ambient temperature of +45 C the RRH can be used without a
fan. For temperatures above +45 C (up to +55 C) additional fans must be
installed to avoid extreme temperatures inside the RRH.
The top of cover with fan is divided into three main parts:
Fan cassette (containing fans and temperature sensors)
Fan board (containing AC/DC converter, temperature monitoring, and
alarm detection)
Plastic housing (for the fan cassette and for the fan board).
The protective cover is mandatory for the top of cover with fan installation.
The AC/DC converter provides a single output voltage of 24 VDC, used to
supply the fans. A linear regulator provides +5 VDC from the 24 VDC output to
feed the monitoring circuit.
The monitoring circuit on the fan board generates an alarm if one of the fans or
the power supply malfunctions. The monitoring circuit switches the fans on and
off depending on the temperature.
If the fans are switched on the speed of the fans is regulated as follows:
If the temperature on the top of the RRH reaches +53 C (ambient
temperature 25 C ... 30 C, maximum power on the antenna outputs) the
fans are switched on. The fans are switched off with a hysteresis at +30

C on the top of the RRH.
If the temperature on the top of the RRH reaches +56 C the fans run with
full speed (2300 r.p.m.). If the temperature is below +33 C the fans run with
half speed (lowest possible fan speed, 1150 r.p.m.).

2.6.1 Fan Cassette

The fans have their own control loop performed with an temperature sensor.
Figure 14: Fan Cassette

A sensor located close to the fans measures the temperature and sends the
result to the fan board where the fans are switched on/off and where their
speed is controlled.
Hot insertion of the fan cassette is possible without disconnection of the mains
from the top of cover with fan.

3.2.2 External Interfaces

The external interfaces of the RRH entity are located at the lower side, facing
the mounting frame. The interfaces of the entity are connected to the COBO of
the mounting frame, where most of the external cables are terminated. There
are three categories of external interfaces.
Depending on the category, the interfaces of different types are terminated in
different locations (the entity itself or the connection box).
Interfaces terminated as bare wires on clamp strips in the connection box of
the mounting frame (i.e. power supply, external alarms,...) or interfaces
connected directly on the MTROC (Master-Slave cables, optical fiber).
Interfaces terminated on the RRH entity itself (i.e. antenna connectors)
Interfaces needed for maintenance only (i.e. MMI).
3.2.2.1 MMI
This interface permits the connection of the NEM (Network Element Manager)
terminal, used for two purposes: O&M configuration and transmission purpose.
This is an Ethernet 10/100Mbit interface with a RJ45 connector located on the
RCON board in the COBO.
3.2.2.2 Antenna Tilt RET

This interface enables connection of external equipment that turns/moves the
connected antennas to a different position. It is a serial RS232 interface with a
programmable baud-rate.
3.2.2.3 XCAL_CLK
The clock output CLK Calib. is used to measure the 2.166 MHz frequency.
3.2.2.4 UMTS Frame

The frame output UMTS_frame (BFN=0) is used to synchronize external
equipment for test purposes.

3.2.3 Power Distribution

The RRH represents the concept of a central power-supply. Each
powered module (RTEU, MTROC, MANRU and RCON) is supplied by the
AC/DC-converter RRHPS.
3.2.3.1 Fuses
Two fuses with a nominal current of 2.5 Amps protect the entire RRH and
are located in the right-hand compartment of the COBO. The top fan unit is
protected by two fuses with a nominal current of 1.25 Amps. (Line and Neutral).
Both pairs of fuses are located on the ACCO board.
3.2.3.2 Cabling and Interconnections

The internal connection of the AC supply voltage to the MPS inside the RRH
is performed via a filter feed. The filter is connected to the mechanical and
electrical ground of the RRH housing and is part of the power supply RRHPS.
3.2.4 Lightning and Overvoltage Protection

Lightning and overvoltage protection are implemented on the MCON as follows:
Lightning protection of the external interfaces
Over-voltage protection of the internal test interfaces (MMI, trace, and
TTL signals).
Both the line L and neutral N conductor of the AC Input are protected by a
lightning protection. This protection is installed on ACCO.

3.4 MTROC
The MTROC board is located in the RRH and supports the remote radio
interface (RRI) to the CP and/or chained RRHs. Up to two SFPs can be
equipped for chaining or redundancy purposes.
The MTROC board has its own remote inventory and appears in the RIT
table at the MIB interface.
SUMU controls the MTROC boards via BCB and IOM links. But, in contrast
to modules located in the CP, the BCB and IOM links are routed to MTROC
over a TCP/IP connection.
MTROCs internal FPGA and Ethernet switch are configured for the RBI
and BTI links.
MTROC supports the BCB bus and the IOM connection over LAPD/BSII to
RTEU and MANR.
The MTROC board supports the standard OAM scenarios like software
replacement, configuration and alarm reporting.
The MTROC supports the:
RRI links
RBI/BTI links
BCB and BSII bus.
From SUMU point of view, MTROC acts as an BCB proxy:
MTROC does not access the BCB bus autonomously
All access to the BCB bus is requested by SUMU using IOM Messages
MTROC processes the requested action on the BCB bus and reports the
result to SUMU using IOM Messages.

3.5 Power Supply

As opposed to the CP, the RRH is supplied by an AC/DC converter and does
not contain a 48 V power distribution. Voltages between 3.3 V and 28 V are
derived directly by the 230 VAC and are distributed from the central AC/DC
power supply to the different units via cables.
3.5.1 AC/DC Conversion

The power supply converts a three-wire AC voltage into four DC output voltages.
The input values are:
Input voltage range (AC): 160 V ... 270 V
Nominal voltage (AC): 230 V/240 V
Frequency (Hz): 47 ... 63 Hz.
The power supply is fed by a three-wire system:
L = Phase (Line)
N = Neutral
PE = Protective earth.
AC power supply supervision has the following features:
AC input voltage
DC output voltage
160 V 270 V

Table 12: AC Input Voltage Supervision

The RRH power supply provides the following voltages at the output connectors:
+ 28 V
+ 12 V
+9V
+ 5.1 V
+ 3.3 V.
3.5.2 DC Input Voltage

In the case of mains failure the power supply also works with DC voltage at the
input. The input voltage range (DC) is 270 V ... 358 V.
52 / 76

Z3EV00007-0035 Ed.03
3.5.3 External AC Fuses

Both AC input lines are protected by two 2.5 A fuses, which are located on
ACCO in the COBO.
Both AC output lines to the top fan unit are protected by two 1.25 A fuses, which
are located on ACCO in the COBO.
3.5.4 Local Power Supply (DC/DC)

Due to very low input voltage requirements (3.3 V > U > 1.2 V), on each digital
board additional DC/DC converters or LDOs are used locally to generate
low voltages very close to the load.
3.5.5 Battery Backup

Battery backup is not implemented. Support from the external site support
cabinet SSC is provided.
3.5.6 Warm up of the RRH

If the input voltage of the RRH is connected while the temperature sensor inside
the RRH power supply is below 0 C, the +28 V are warming up the RRH.
In the temperature range -33 C to 0 C:
the power supply switches on
+3.3 V, +5.1 V, +9 V and +12 V are switched off

3.7 Optical Interconnection between CP and RRH

3.7.1 Overview
In the standard Node B architecture there are low speed and clock interfaces
between SUMU and ANRUs/TEUs (OAM interface BSII, 1.92 MHz CLKI2
distribution, remote inventory BCB).
Between the baseband board pool and the ANRUs/TEUMs there are high
speed interfaces called RBI from ANRU and BTI to TEU.
Extending the Node B architecture for the use of remote radio equipment the
RRI and its TROC and MTROC modules are introduced. The TROC holds
up to six optical interface modules, each terminating one RRI. The MTROC
holds two optical interface modules. All Node B internal signals (CLKI2, BCB,
BSII, RBI and BTI) are muxed onto the RRI links.
3.7.2 Optical Fiber Architecture

The optical fiber end-to-end part contains the following elements:
Optical fiber cable itself and its accessories (patch cords, fiber splicing,
etc.)
Integrated optical fiber distribution: Interface with optical multi-fiber cable
at central part side. The role of the integrated optical fiber distribution is to
distribute fibers between TROC SFP modules and optical multi-fiber cable.
Outdoor optical fiber distribution: Interface with optical multi-fiber cable
at RRH side. The role of the outdoor optical fiber distribution is to distribute
the fibers between optical multi-fiber cable and the RRH.

3.7.3 TROC/MTROC Optical Interface Architecture

The optical interface modules are installed on TROC in the CP or on MTROC in
the RRH. The optical interface physically terminates a RRI link.
Because the functionality in those applications is different, the optical
interface module FPGA is loaded by the host (either Node B or RRH) with
the appropriate bitstream.

The clock generator is a performance critical system block. The reference clock
for the RRI is generated using a VCSO based clock multiplier.
The RI EEPROM identifies the optical interface module to the Alcatel specific
OAM system. In addition a local I2C bus gives the host access to a second RI
EEPROM for the optical transceiver and to a temperature monitor.

4 Site Support Cabinet

This section describes the Site Support Cabinet.
The SSC is an optional cabinet which is used to provide battery backup for
the RRH.
The SSC is supplied by the mains (230 VAC).

Z3EV00007-0035 Ed.03
63 / 76
4.1 Battery
The battery consists of six battery units. The nominal voltage of each unit is 48
V. The six units are charged in parallel. If a mains power failure occurs the
six battery units are connected in series to provide the needed voltage to
the connected RRH within 50 ms.
The batteries are charged in compliance with DIN 41773 (IU characteristic).
The charging voltage is temperature controlled. A temperature sensor is placed
inside the battery box. Battery features are listed below:
Number of cells
6 x 24 cells
Nominal voltage per unit
48 V

Z3EV00007-0035 Ed.03
4.2 Battery Backup

In the case of mains power failure the SSC feeds the connected RRH for
up to 250 minutes.
The RRH connected to the SSC has a hold-up time of at least 50 ms. That
means, in the case of mains failure the battery must provide energy within
50 ms to the connected equipment.
If the mains failure lasts longer than the backup time, the battery is:
Disconnected from the RRH to avoid deep discharge
Not connected to the RRH again before the mains appears.
4.3 Heating
A heater is part of the SSC. It heats the air inside the SSC if the internal air
is below +10 C. The heating works in the temperature range from -33 C to
+10 C. If the ambient temperature is below -33 C the Side Support Cabinet
heats up within 30 minutes to 0 C.
4.4 Cooling
The SSC is equipped with an active wall cooling system. An inner fan running
with a constant speed forces the air through the equipment into the space
between the rack and the housing. An outer fan running with a variable speed
depending on the temperature of the air inside the SSC forces the air along
the housing walls back to the inside of the rack.
4.5 Input Voltage

The following table shows the input voltage range for the AC/DC converter of
the SSC.
Input voltage range (AC)
170 V ... 270 V
Nominal voltage (AC)

4.6 Alarms
The SSC provides three different alarms:
Mains failure
Deep discharge alarm
Combined Alarm:
Door contact
Power supplies (NT, MW)
Battery charger
Inner fan alarm
Outer fan alarm
Temperature alarm
Battery backup "OFF" Alarm.
4.7 Thermal Protection

Each power supply used in the SSC has its own temperature protection. The
switch-off temperature is +70 C (ambient temperature).
A temperature monitoring is also placed in the SSC. If the temperature rises
above +60 C the SSC provides a temperature alarm.
4.8 Battery Protection

The battery is protected against deep discharge. If the voltage of the complete
battery falls below 240 V (nominal value, in case of mains failure) the battery is
disconnected from the equipment.
4.9 SSC - RRH Distance

The maximum cable length between the SSC and the RRH is 50 m.

5 CP Configuration and Hardware Modules

This section describes the CP configuration and its RRU specific hardware
modules.

Z3EV00007-0035 Ed.03
69 / 76
5.1 Overview
The CP is based on the MBS structure. The indoor CP uses a MBI cabinet, the
outdoor CP a MBOevolution cabinet. There are no transceivers and antenna
networks in the central part.
The number of BB boards to be installed in the cabinet depends on the traffic
model foreseen for the Node B on a given site.
The SUMU will be always located in STBSR, at left position, the TROC at
second left position.
5.2 Power Supply

The CP is driven by AC or 48V DC. Refer to the Evolium A9100 MBS Hardware
Description for detailed power supply descriptions.

5.4 TROC
5.4.1 Architecture
The TROC module is located in the CP cabinet MBI3 or MBO1E. It interfaces
the high speed backplane and the BWB backplane. TROC hereby replaces the
TRAB board.
In contrast to the TRAB board, the TROC board is an active board. I.e. it
runs software and is configured. Especially, the internal FPGA and Ethernet
switches are configured for the RBI and BTI links.
The TROC board supports the standard OAM scenarios like software
replacement, configuration and alarm reporting. TROC supports the BCB bus
and IOM interface over LAPD/BSII in the CP.
The main function of the TROC module is to connect the BB Boards with RRHs
and local TEU/ANRU modules inside the Node B cabinet:
BTI1..3 and RBI1..3 are used to connect the TEU and ANRU modules inside
the Node B cabinet to the BB Boards.
Up to six SFP can be equipped to connect RRH via optical fiber links.
(named RRH1 to RRH6).
The TROC module can connect with up to three local sectors (TEU and
ANRU) equipped in the CP.
The TROC provides one interface to NEM (MMI).
The SUM connector is used to connect the ethernet frontpanel cable
between SUMU MMI and the switching unit of the TROC. The cable is used
to provide the O&M connection from the SUMU to NEM and the internal
O&M connection (IOMR) to the RRH. On this interface the internal interfaces
BCB and BSII are multiplexed to be transported on ethernet.
All RI EEPROMs are controlled using the BCB bus inside the cabinet.
The BSII bus inside the cabinet supports the IOM link between SUMU and
TROC controller.
