Description 1 Overview

1 Overview

The RRU5901 is an outdoor remote radio unit that is powered by a power cabinet. It is the RF
part of a distributed base station and can be installed near the antenna. The RRU5901
performs modulation, demodulation, data processing, and combination and division of
baseband signals and RF signals.
With the software-defined radio (SDR) technology, the RRU5901 can work in multiple modes
through software configuration.
The RRU5901 adopts a 4T4R design, which further improves the output power and carrier
capacity.

 The GSM receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 51.021, is measured at the antenna
connector assuming that the channel rate reaches 13 kbit/s and the bit error rate (BER) is lower than
or equal to 2%.
 The UMTS receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 25.104, is measured at the antenna
connector assuming that the channel rate reaches 12.2 kbit/s and the BER is lower than or equal to
0.1%.
 The LTE FDD receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 36.104, is measured under a 5 MHz
bandwidth based on the FRC A1-3 in Annex A.1 (QPSK, R = 1/3, 25 RBs) standard.
 The LTE NB-IoT receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 36.104, is measured under a 200
KHz bandwidth and a 15 KHz subcarrier spacing based on the FRC A14-1 in Annex A.14 (π/2
BPSK, R = 1/3, 1 RB) standard.
 The NR FDD receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 38.104, is measured under a 5 MHz
bandwidth based on the Annex A.1 (QPSK, R = 1/3) standard.

2.4 Typical Output Power

 The "Output Power per Carrier" in the output power tables indicates the maximum output power
supported by the network performance. The actually configured carrier power of GSM/UMTS/LTE
FDD/NB-IoT can be less than or equal to the output power per carrier in the tables.
 The output power is 1 dB less than the standard power when an RRU/RFU is located at a height of
3500 m to 4500 m; and is 2 dB less than the standard power when the RRU/RFU is located at a
height of 4500 m to 6000 m.
 When two LTE FDD carriers are configured, it is recommended that the power spectrum density
(PSD) of the two carriers be set to the same value. PSD = Carrier output power/Carrier bandwidth
(1.4 MHz and 3 MHz bandwidths are considered as 5 MHz bandwidth in this formula.)
 Factors such as the inter-site distance, frequency reuse factor, power control algorithm, and traffic
model affect the gains of dynamic power allocation. In most cases, network plans are designed based
on the power specifications using dynamic power allocation.
 Power sharing requires the DTX and power control functions. In GBSS8.1, the dynamic power
sharing feature is mutually exclusive with GBFD-113201 Concentric Cell, GBFD-114501
Co-BCCH Cell, GBFD-118001 BCCH Dense Frequency Multiplexing, and GBFD-117501
Enhanced Measurement Report (EMR). In GBSS9.0 and later versions, the dynamic power sharing
feature can be used together with these features. However, the dynamic power sharing feature cannot
be used together with the GBFD-117002 IBCA (Interference Based Channel Allocation),
GBFD-117001 Flex MAIO, GBFD-118701 RAN Sharing, and GBFD-114001 Extended Cell
features in GBSS8.1, GBSS9.0, and later versions.

2.4.1 RRU5901 (1800 MHz)

 The maximum output power of the RRU5901 (1800 MHz) is 4x40 W.
 (a)
in the following description indicates that the LTE NB-IoT carrier can be deployed
only in inband mode when the LTE bandwidth is 5 MHz.
 The inband & guardband table below describes the total output power of L+M carriers.
For details about power configurations for LTE FDD and LTE NB-IoT, see the "L+M
Configuration Combination" sheet in NB-IoT Typical Power Configurations (RRU) or
NB-IoT Typical Power Configurations (RFU).

The asterisk (*) in the preceding table indicates that the configurations in the given row are supported
from SRAN16.1 onwards. The bandwidths are only 5 MHz and 10 MHz in SRAN16.0.

2.4.2 RRU5901 (900 EGSM)

 The maximum output power of the RRU5901 (900 MHz) is 4x40 W.
 (a)
in the following description indicates that the LTE NB-IoT carrier can be deployed
only in inband mode when the LTE bandwidth is 5 MHz.
 When the NB-IoT multi-carrier function is enabled and NB-IoT carriers are deployed in
standalone mode, a maximum of four NB-IoT carriers can be configured. Users can
configure the output power per NB-IoT carrier as required given that the total power of
four NB-IoT carriers does not exceed "Total Output Power of LTE NB-IoT Carriers (W)"
and 10log (output power of NB-IoT carrier 1 [W]/output power of NB-IoT carrier 2 [W])
is less than or equal to 5 (dB).
 The inband & guardband table below describes the total output power of L+M carriers.
For details about power configurations for LTE FDD and LTE NB-IoT, see the "L+M
Configuration Combination" sheet in NB-IoT Typical Power Configurations (RRU) or
NB-IoT Typical Power Configurations (RFU).

2.5 NR SUL Carrier Configuration

When NR SUL carriers are configured, the uplink bandwidth of LTE carriers enabled with
uplink spectrum sharing must be the same as that of NR carriers. The following table lists the
bandwidths. For details about the uplink bandwidth of LTE carriers not enabled with uplink
spectrum sharing, see section "Typical Output Power."

Description 2 Technical Specifications

The typical power consumption of an RF module is measured when the ambient temperature is 25°C and
the traffic load reaches 50%. The actual power consumption has a 10% deviation from this value.

2.7 Input Power

Table 2-60 Input power

Item Specifications
Input power –48 V DC; voltage range: –36 V DC to –57 V DC

DC RRUs can use external power modules (such as AC/DC power modules, OPM15M, and OPM50M)
to support AC scenarios. For details about the external power modules, see user guides of the
corresponding models.
