What is SDR

The SDR forum defines 5 levels of software radio

technologies: HR, SCR, SDR, ISR and USR.

SDR Base Station Overview

What is SDR

HR: hardware radio Tier0. It is represented by the

traditional single mode base station.

SCR: Software Controlled Radio. It is represented by the base station with different transceivers of different modes.

It has made certain integration on software only.

SDR: Software Defined Radio, namely the software may select different modulation system, wide band signal or

narrow band signal. It is represented by ZTE SDR series

base station products of leading technology in the world.

SDR Base Station Overview

What is SDR

ISR: Ideal software radio, its characteristic is it eliminates analogue RF end, and the entire system may be program controlled except for antenna.

USR: Ultimate Software Radio. It has ISR functions but also requires standardized controller software. The switch between

different radio modes achieves a millisecond level speed.

Because of technical reasons, the two kind technologies above are not yet available for large-scale commercial application.

SDR Base Station Overview

What is SDR

The key feature of SDR---the radio modes may be defined by software.

1The RF front end processes signals of multiple radio modes simultaneously

SDR technical requirement the system supports multi-radio modes

2The baseband processes signals of multiple radio modes simultaneously

3The software is integrated into a unified software version

SDR Base Station Structure

This technology breaks through the traditional base station structure where the TRX baseband RF is in a single module by introducing baseband and RF separated structure

(BBU+RRU/RU)

Multi-mode baseband pool BBU platform Multi-mode RF RU platform

IP processed base station internal data flow

OMC platform: OMCR and OMCB Unified software platform

The core point of SDR base station structure is baseband and RF separation and platform

SDR Base Station Structure

Macro station - - BBU and RU are placed in the cabinet, with the only difference to the distributed base station is the structure. Currently there are indoor macro station BS8800 and outdoor macro station BS8900.
