RRU3936 Description
1 Introduction
Introduction
The RRU3936 is an outdoor remote radio unit. It is the radio frequency (RF) part of a distributed base station and can be located near antennas. The RRU3936 can modulate, demodulate, combine, and divide baseband and RF signals. It also processes baseband and RF signal data. With the Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology, the RRU3936 can work either in GU or GL dual-mode through software configuration modification. The software of the RRU3936 is backward compatible with the MBTS, MBSC, and OSS of the N-1 and N-2 versions, where N indicates the current version number, for example, SRAN8.0 in this document. In addition, the software package of the three versions includes the RRU3936 software components. Therefore, the RRU3936 of SRAN8.0 can be used for SRAN6.0, SRAN7.0, and SRAN8.0, without affecting KPIs.

RRU3936 Description
2 Technical Specifications
The receiver sensitivity of GSM, as recommended in 3GPP TS 51.021, is measured at the antenna connector on the condition that the channel rate is 13 kbit/s and the Bit Error Rate (BER) is not higher than 2%.
The receiver sensitivity of UMTS, as recommended in 3GPP TS 25.104, is measured at the antenna connector on the condition that the channel rate is 12.2 kbit/s and the BER is not higher than 0.001.
The receiver sensitivity of LTE is measured, as recommended in 3GPP TS 36.104, under a 5 MHz channel bandwidth based on the FRC A1-3 in Annex A.1 (QPSK, R = 1/3, 25 RBs) standard.
2.4 Typical Output Power
RRU3936 modules operating in GSM mode and in the 900 or 1800 MHz frequency band comply with the standard EN 301 502 V9.2.1.
RRU3936 modules operating in UMTS, LTE, or Multi-Standard Radio (MSR) mode and in 900 or 1800 MHz frequency band comply with the standard ETSI EN 301 908 V5.2.1 and 3GPP TS 37.104.
For the RRU3936 working in GSM mode: when the S1 configuration is applied, the maximum output power of each carrier on the RRU3936 is 80 W. If the output power of 60 W or 80 W is required, the related license must be obtained. After design optimization, the 8PSK and GMSK modulation schemes enable the same output power for each carrier on the RRU3936 when the S1, S2, or S3 configuration is used. When any of the S4 through S8 configurations is used, the license controlling the GBFD-118104 Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature must be obtained. Otherwise, the 8PSK and GMSK modulation schemes cannot enable the same output power for each carrier on the RRU3936.
The output power is 1 dB lesser than the standard power when the RRU3936 is located at a height of 3500 m to 4500 m; and is 2 dB lesser than the standard power when the RRU3936 is located at a height of 4500 m to 6000 m.
Factors such as the site-to-site distance, frequency-reuse factor, power control algorithm, and traffic model affect the gain achieved by dynamic power allocation. Therefore, in most cases, the network planning can be based on the power specification achieved by dynamic power allocation.
In power sharing mode, the power control and DTX functions must be enabled. In GBSS8.1, the dynamic power sharing feature is mutually exclusive with the GBFD-113201 Concentric Cell, GBFD-114501 Co-BCCH Cell, GBFD-118001 BCCH Dense Frequency Multiplexing, and GBFD-117501 Enhanced Measurement Report (EMR) features. In GBSS9.0 and later versions, the dynamic power sharing feature can be used together with these features. However, the dynamic power sharing feature currently 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.
Power sharing assumes a random distribution of UEs in the cell.
*: The UMTS mode is supported in terms of hardware.
Table 2-5, Table 2-6, Table 2-7, Table 2-8 and Table 2-9 list the typical output power of the RRU3936. Table 2-5 Typical output power of RRU3936 (900 MHz/1800 MHz/850 MHz/1900 MHz, GSM and UMTS) Number of GSM Carriers

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 GSM is reached when the base station works with 30% load and power control and DTX are enabled. The maximum power consumption for GSM is reached when the base station works with 100% load.
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.
