(GERAN/UTRAN) and Mobile Station/User Equipment (MS/UE). GERAN/UTRAN
includes 2 network elements, base station and BSC/RNC. The conventional 2G/3G BS
connects to BSC/RNC via Abis/Iub interface. Figure 1-1 shows a conventional
GSM/EDGE/UMTS network system.

In Figure 1-1, GPRS/EDGE and UTRAN are two separated radio networks. When ZTE
2G/3G dual-mode base station is introduced, the 2G/3G radio networks will be converged
into one and this will decrease the network construction cost greatly. The GSM/UMTS

The purpose of this document is to describe the new-generation distributed Software

Defined Radio (SDR) base station ZXSDR BS8700 (hereafter BS8700), which consists
of the core BBU (B8200) and series RRUs. BS8700 is based on the ZTE unified
MicroTCA platform and adopts MCPA technology radio part, to be the new type of ZTE
mobile BS. This revolutionary BS platform supports all kinds of wireless access
technology, including GSM, UMTS, CDMA2000 WiMAX and LTE.
ZXSDR BS8700 can be divided into different types of distributed BS through connecting
with different RRUs, according to different networking modes and coverage scenarios.
B8200+R8860E/R8882: Dual-mode macro distributed base station, mainly used for

outdoor and indoor GSM/UMTS dual-mode coverage.
B8200+ R8840/R8880A: UMTS mode macro distributed base station, mainly used
for outdoor and indoor UMTS mode coverage.
B8200 provides Iub/Abis interfaces with several types of physical interfaces such as
E1/T1, STM-1, FE and GE to connect with RNC/BSC, and CPRI interfaces to connect
with RRUs. B8200 supports IP transmission and hybrid transmission. B8200 provides at
most 12 pairs of CPRI optical interfaces to RRUs.
B8200 and RRU can support star, chain and mixed networking. In star networking, 12
optical interfaces are available to connect to 12 RRUs. In chain networking, RRU is able
to cascade up to 4 levels at maximum.
The networking diagram including B8200, RNC/BSC and RRU is shown in Figure 1-3.

The Operation Support Sub-system (OSS) is the supporting layer in this entire framework,
which is a hardware independent platform for running software and provides basic
functions like scheduling, timer, memory management, communication, sequencing
control, monitoring, alarming and logging.
The Linux is the operating platform communicating to the hardware components.
The Board Support Package (BSP) provides the device driver & initiation and supports
basic functions like alarming and monitoring. It also provides the relating interfaces and

The software system of BS8700 consists of operating support layer and application layer.
Figure 4-20 BS8700 Software Structure
The operating support layer provides the functions of OAM, DBS, BRS, BRACS, and
SCS to serve different base station mode.
Operating and Maintenance (OAM) provides the configuration, alarm and

performance measurement function.
Data Base Sub-system (DBS) provides the database function.
Bearer Sub-system (BRS) provides protocol stack processing function.
Bearer Access Control Sub-system (BRACS) provides the function of access control
on bear layer.
System Control Sub-system (SCS) provides functions of power control/supply and

active/standby switching.
Operation Support Sub-system is the support layer in this framework, which is a

hardware independent platform for running software and providing basic functions like
scheduling, timer, memory management, communication, sequencing control, monitoring,
alarming and logging.
Board Support Package (BSP) supports the information routing to the GSM, UMTS, LTE
and common parts in the application layer.

Operation and Maintenance

The operation and management of BS8700 are performed by the ZTE unified network
management system, NetNumen M31, which adopts client/server architecture. The
server runs Solaris OS + Oracle database. The client adopts Windows system, enabling
human-machine management for the network element.
Figure 6-1
NetNumen M31 Elements Management System
The BSS/UTRAN/E-UTRAN provides a transparent channel to implement operation and

maintenance information interaction between NetNumen M31 and the radio network.
Management of the BSC/RNC and the BTS/Node B/eNode B adopts unified client
interface for security management and operation log. NetNumen M31 also supports
CORBA/SNMP Itf-N interface towards third-party NMS.
BS8700 operation and maintenance system support the following functions:
Version Management
With this function, administrator can view versions of the all software and hardware
running at the foreground. The hardware version includes the BOOT version number and
its generation time. The software version includes the software version number,
download time and its current running state.
49
The background provides a software downloading system for software

download/upgrade at the foreground. Before download/upgrade, warehousing
processing is required. The warehousing process will copy the version files to the server
and register to the server.
Software versions existing in the base stations can be activated with or without software
tests.
Alarm Management
The alarm management system monitors running states of the base stations, dynamically
displays the rack structure of the foreground module and collects abnormal information of
the boards, links, database and server in real time. These functions make it convenient to
analyze, address the problems, maintain and repair.
Information collected by the alarm management system includes notification, alarm and
alarm recovery.
The alarm management system synchronizes alarms, reports historical alarms and
current alarms, and sets and queries alarm shielding.
Configuration Management
Configuration management implements functions of equipment configuration and radio

configuration.
Log Management
NetNumen M31 system provides the log management function. Any operation performed
by operator will be recorded automatically. Thus, the operation maintenance
administrator can query historical operation records. Log records are saved in the NM
database server.
Security Management
Security management is implemented through user management and user group

management. The user management includes the management for user name, password
and user groups which the user belongs to. The user group management includes the
management of user group name and authority information (indicating authorities the
user group has).
Performance Management
Performance management is to measure, report and provide performances statistic of

base stations.
50
Diagnosis and Test
Diagnosis and test are important components of EMS. The network administrator can
check whether system hardware is working properly by diagnosis and test. They are also
able to trace and fix the faults on time to secure the safe operation of the system.
Base station diagnosis and test cover the following functions:
Information reporting
Board link testing
Receiving field strength testing
Environment information monitoring
Other Supplementary Functions
The operation and maintenance system also provides other supplementary functions to
facilitate base station maintenance, which include but not limited signaling tracing,
channel viewing, abnormal record reporting and viewing.

Configuration Principles
7.1
Baseband Unit Configuration Principles

Different baseband processing boards can be configured in BS8700 baseband unit for
different scenarios. UBPG board supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE/E-EDGE. BPC board
supports UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+. The processing capability of baseband processing
boards is listed as below:
Single UBPG board supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE/E-EDGE 12 TRXs
Single BPC supports 6 CSs, uplink 192 CEs and downlink 192 CEs
In typical configuration, the BS8700 baseband unit provides 4 baseband processing

board slots. 1 more BP board can be available if only one FS board is configured.
7.2
Radio Unit Configuration Principles

On different frequencies and software configurations, BS8700 can be configured as
various GSM/UMTS base stations:
7.3
In GSM single mode, R8860E supports 6 TRXs. One R8882 supports totally 2*4
TRXs.
In UMTS single mode, R8840 and R8860E supports 4 carriers, R8880A supports
2*4 carriers, R8882 supports 2*2 carriers.
If GSM/UMTS are in the dual mode, single R8860E can support 1 UMTS Carriers +
4 GSM TRXs or 2 UMTS carriers + 2 GSM TRXs at maximum; single R8882 can
support 2* (4G+1U) or 2* (2G+2U).
GSM Single Mode Configuration Principles

R8860E or R8882 is configured for GSM single mode, which is based on multi-carrier
technology.
