1.1 Product Application

The ZXSDR R8852 is a new distributed Remote Radio Unit (RRU) in the Uni-RAN SDR
product family developed by ZTE. Designed based on the new RRU unified platform,
the ZXSDR R8852 supports "two transmit, two receive" and supports GSM, LTE, and
GSM/LTE. It is small, lightweight, and high-power.

ZXSDR R8852 Product Description
Position in the Radio Network

The ZXSDR R8852 and a BBU form a complete BTS, Node B, or eNodeB, and provide
radio transmission within its coverage area. They can also control radio channels and
communicate with a BSC, RNC, or EPC.
Figure 1-2 shows the position of the ZXSDR R8852 in the radio network. The ZXSDR
R8852 is marked in orange in Figure 1-2.
Figure 1-2 Position of the R8852E in the Radio Network
Configuration Description
Through software configuration, the ZXSDR R8852 can be configured in the GSM, LTE,
or GSM/LTE system.
1.2 Product Features

Small Size and Fast Deployment
The ZXSDR R8852 is 8 L in volume and 10.5 kg in weight. It is easy to transport and can
be flexibly installed on a pole, a tower, or a wall, which makes lower OPEX possible.

Chapter 1 Product Application and Features
SDR 2T2R Design and GSM/LTE Configuration
In the SDR radio network, a hardware platform can support multiple systems through
software configuration. Compared with a traditional network where hardware devices
are respectively provided for different systems, the SDR network has a more concise
architecture and is easier to manage. The 2T2R design of the ZXSDR R8852 ensures
that the system can be smoothly upgraded to support LTE 2×2 MIMO cells. Because a
module supports GSM+LTE, the evolution risks after the operator establishes the network
are reduced and the operation policy is more flexible.
High Efficiency and Lower Cost

With improvement in the module design, the amplifier efficiency of the ZXSDR R8852 is
higher than that of existing SDR products and device power consumption is lower, reducing
the electricity expense during network operation and the investment in auxiliary products
such as batteries.

2.2 Logical Structure

The ZXSDR R8852 is composed of the power supply, transceiver, amplifier, and duplex
filter modules. Figure 2-2 shows the logical structure.
Figure 2-2 Logical Structure
For a description of the modules of the ZXSDR R8852, refer to Table 2-1.
Table 2-1 ZXSDR R8852 Module Descriptions
Name Description
Power supply Outputs and protects the power supply.
Transceiver Provides panel interfaces and implements digital IF, transmits and receives
RF signals, implements main control, and controls the clock, power supply,
and amplifier.
Amplifier Amplifies downlink RF signals and outputs RF signals to the duplexer. A

low-noise amplifier is integrated in this module to amplify uplink RF signals
and output these signals to the transceiver.
Duplex filter Consists of two duplexers and one filter to provide the receive diversity
function.
2.3 Software Architecture

Figure 2-3 shows the software architecture of the ZXSDR R8852.
2-2

Chapter 2 Product Structure
Figure 2-3 ZXSDR R8852 Software Architecture
Linux is the operating system on the hardware platform. The Board Support Package
(BSP) is the software relevant to the board hardware and allows the Real-Time Operating
System (RTOS) to operate on boards. The operation support layer provides the following
functions: Operation Support Subsystem (OSS), System Control Subsystem (SCS),
Operating And Maintenance (OAM), Data Base Subsystem (DBS), Barrier Subsystem
(BRS), and Barrier Access Control Subsystem (BRACS).
l The OSS is the support layer in the software architecture, providing a
hardware-independent platform for system software operation and basic software
functions including scheduling, timers, memory management, inter-module
communication, sequence control, monitoring, alarms, and logs.
l The SCS controls power supplies and active/standby switchover.
l The OAM provides the configuration, alarm, and performance measurement
functions.
l The DBS provides data storage and management for the system.
l The BRS processes protocol stacks for the system.
l The BRACS performs access control for the bearer layer.

Operation and Maintenance
Modes
The ZXSDR R8852 can be operated and maintained locally and remotely.
l Remote operation and maintenance
Operation and maintenance is performed on a remote ZXSDR R8852 through the
NetNumen U31 system, which is connected to the ZXSDR R8852 through the
transmission network, see Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1 Remote Maintenance Mode
Note:
The NetNumen U31 system is the ZTE-developed unified EMS. It manages various
connected radio NEs in a centralized manner, and provides standard interfaces for the
upper network management system. One EMS system can maintain multiple base
stations.
The NetNumen U31 system provides functions including configuration management,
topology management, fault management, performance management, security
management, system management, and task management. It also provides a
command line tool, GUI, and maintenance tool.
l Local operation and maintenance
4-1

A PC is physically connected to the BBU through an Ethernet cable to perform

operation and maintenance on the ZXSDR R8852, see Figure 4-2. The LMT is used
to maintain a single base station.
Figure 4-2 Local Maintenance Mode
Note:
The LMT is applied in the following cases: on-site commissioning and debugging,
site visit in case of the transmission link being broken, and site visit for problem
troubleshooting.
