1 Introduction

Introduction

The RRU3839 is the outdoor remote radio unit which is powered by a power cabinet. It is the
RF module of the distributed NodeB and is installed close to the antenna. The RRU3839
performs modulation, demodulation, data processing, and combination and division of
baseband signals and RF signals.
The software of the RRU3839 is backward compatible with the NodeB, MBTS, and OSS of
the N-1 and N-2 versions, where N indicates the current version number, for example,
RAN15.1 in this document. In addition, the software package of the three versions includes
the RRU3839 software components. Therefore, the RRU3839 of RAN15.1 can be used for
RAN14.0, RAN15.0, and RAN15.1, without affecting KPIs.

2.5 Power Consumption

The typical power consumption and the maximum power consumption are measured when the base
station works at a temperature of 25C.

The typical power consumption for UMTS is reached when the base station works with 40% load.
The maximum power consumption for UMTS is reached when the base station works with 100%
load.
