Introduction
This document provides a high level description of ZTE ZXSDR R8862A, which is one
new compacted distributed RRU (Remote Radio Unit) used in ZTE LTE total solution.
The RRU is based on common ZTE compacted RRU platform, and can work in GSM,
CDMA, UMTS or LTE single mode or multi-mode at the same frequency band. The
volume of RRU is about 12L or 15L(AP700), and its weight is 15Kg or 16Kg(AP700).
R8862A supports AC and DC power supply. R8862A provides 2T4R function with 4
RF-Antenna connectors and 4T8R, 4T4R functions by R8862A 1+1 assembly.
The document is designed to give an overview of the characteristics of R8862A, its key
benefits, the architecture, functionality and services. The document also describes the
system capabilities.
The R8862A Product Description is updated regularly under change control.

To achieve all the targets mentioned herein, LTE PHY (Physical Layer) employs
advanced technologies including Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
(OFDMA) and Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) data transmission. Furthermore,
the LTE PHY deploys the OFDMA for the downlink and Single Carrier Frequency
Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) for the uplink. These technologies will further
minimize the LTE system and UE complexities while allowing flexible spectrum
deployment in the existing or new frequency spectrum.
1.3
Benefits
Multi-Mode RRU
ZXSDR R8862A is fully software defined, then supports GSM/UMTS/CDMA/LTE
multi-mode at the same frequency band simultaneously. Therefore, it fully satisfies
operators requirements of hybrid network deployment and long term evolution with
lowest cost.
Wider Bandwidth
The R8862A is based on ZTE owned Multi-Carrier Power Amplifier (MCPA)
technology
It is portable to transport and flexible to install on the pole, tower and wall, thus
reducing OPEX.
It supports dynamic adaptive PA power supply due to the output power, which
reduces power consumption.
1.4
Application Scenarios
R8862A as the Remote Radio Unit (RRU) and Baseband Unit (BBU) comprise
distributed macro eNodeB.
Typical application scenarios are shown in the following figure:

Platform Software and Application Software. The architecture is shown in the following
figure:

Hardware
System
The Operating and Maintenance (OAM) sub-system is the application layer. Its main
functions are software downloading, configuration, management, system maintenance
and measurement.
The Operation Support Sub-system (OSS) is the supporting layer in this entire
framework. It is a hardware independent layer that provides basic functions such as
scheduling, timer, and memory management, communication, sequencing control,
monitoring, alarming and logging.
13
The Board Support Package (BSP) provides device driver & initialization and supports
basic functions like alarming and monitoring. It also provides the related interfaces and
services to the Operating System.
2.4
Functionality
R8862A is the remote radio unit of distributed base station. The signal is transmitted
/received through R8862A to/from base band processing unit for further processing via
standard CPRI interface.
By applying the distributed system, the feeder loss will be eliminated when the radio unit
is positioned close to the antenna. The coverage is enlarged with this solution.
The functions of R8862A include:
Support 2T4R in one box which can optimize spectrum efficiency greatly and
improve network uplink performance
R8862A software failure will not affect the running of BBU and other R8862As which
are connected to it.
