1.1 Product Positioning

The ZXSDR R8862A is an outdoor remote radio unit in a ZTE base station. The ZXSDR
R8862A and a BBU form a complete base station, implementing radio transmission in the
coverage area and controlling radio channels.
Figure 1-1 shows the position of the ZXSDR R8862A (an RRU) in a wireless network.

Figure 1-1 Position of the ZXSDR R8862A in a Wireless Network

The ZXSDR R8862A supports the following functions:

l Multiple bandwidth configurations, such as 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz,
and 20 MHz
l Operating frequency bands: 850 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, and 2600 MHz
l Two transmitting channels and four receiving channels
l Uplink and downlink 64QAM modulation
l Transmit power reporting of each carrier

ZXSDR R8862A Product Description

l Load protection for the Power Amplifier (PA)

l Transmit channel switching on and off
l RRU power consumption reporting
l Energy saving (dynamic voltage adjustment and symbol shutdown)
l Immune to software faults when cascaded to the software

1.2 Product Features

l Small size for easy installation and deployment
The small size facilitates the transportation and installation and decreases the
load-bearing requirement and operating expense when it is installed on a pole, tower,
or wall.
l Multimode RRU
The ZXSDR R8862A is an RRU based on the SDR platform. In the same frequency
band, a GSM/UMTS/CDMA RRU can be smoothly transitioned to an LTE RRU through
software upgrade. Multimode is supported in the same frequency band to meet the
requirements of operators for multimode network deployment and long term evolution
at a low cost.
l Multiple transmitting channels and multiple receiving channels
The ZXSDR R8862A supports two transmitting channels and four receiving channels,
improving the spectral efficiency and uplink network performance and offering better
user experience.
l Low cost and high efficiency

The PA efficiency of the ZXSDR R8862A can be up to 45%.

The ZXSDR R8862A supports a dynamic auto-sensing PA power supply based on
the output power, reducing the overall power consumption.
Natural heat dissipation of the ZXSDR R8862A contributes to quite low power
consumption and zero noise.

l Integrated lightning protection module

The ZXSDR R8862A has an integrated lightning protection module with the protection
level of 20 kA.

 Chapter 2 Product Structure

Figure 2-3 Software Architecture of the ZXSDR R8862A

The hardware platform is operating on the Linux operating system. The Board Support
Package (BSP) is a set of software closely related to board hardware and supports the
RealTime Operating System (RTOS) to operate on boards. The operating support layer
provides the following functions: OSS, SCS, OAM, DBS, BRS, and BRACS.
l As a support layer of the entire software subsystem, the Operation Support
Sub-system (OSS) provides a hardware-independent platform for the entire software
architecture. It also provides some basic software functions, including scheduling,
timers, memory management, inter-module communication, sequence control,
monitoring, alarm reporting, and logging.
l The System Control Sub-system (SCS) controls the power supply and the switchover
between active and standby power supplies.
l The Operating And Maintenance subsystem (OAM) provides the configuration, alarm
management, and performance measurement functions.
l The Data Base Sub-system (DBS) stores and manages system data.
l The Barrier Sub-system (BRS) is used for protocol stack processing.
l The Barrier Access Control Sub-system (BRACS) controls access to the bearer layer.
