Battery Functions
49
Battery provides the following functions:

BS8900A outdoor cabinet has a independent battery cabinet. The
nominal capacity of the internal battery is 300Ah.
If the input AC power supply is interrupted, the standby battery
can provide power for the equipment to guarantee uninterrupted
operation.
Battery Heating Board Functions
Battery heating board provides the following functions:
Heat the battery to ensure that the battery works within an appropriate temperature range.
When the temperature in the battery cabinet is lower than -5C
(that is, startup temperature of the battery heating board), the
battery heating board starts working.
When the temperature in the battery cabinet is higher than 30C
(that is, shutdown temperature of the battery heating board), the
battery heating board stops working.
Note:
There are two heating circuits in the battery heating board.
For one circuit, the startup temperature is around -5C and the
shutdown temperature is 30C.
For the other circuit, the startup temperature is around -13C and
the shutdown temperature is around 10C.
In other words, when the cabinet temperature is lower than -13C,
both circuits starts. When the aluminum plate is heated to 10C,
one circuit is closed and the other one keeps working.

FIGURE 75 R8860 APPEARANCE

R8860 has the following system features:
Dual-mode function
R8860 supports two radio access modes: GSM and UMTS. it is
a dual-mode RRU.
Distributed architecture
BBU and RRU constitute the distributed base station system,
providing a more flexible mode for base station establishment.
Smooth evolution
Smooth evolution towards enhanced EDGE and HSPA+ can

be realized through software upgrade, which helps save
investment for operators to the maximum extent.
R8860 supports the 20 MHz bandwidth, which enables it to
smoothly evolve into LTE.
Flexible configuration and networking
With the multi-carrier technology, when R8860 works in the

GSM mode, it supports 1 ~ 6 carriers through modifying
software configuration.
115
Within the same frequency band, R8860 can work in

GSM/UMTS dual mode through modifying software configuration. For example, it can support the capacity of 4 GSM
carriers plus one UMTS CS.
Star network, chaining networking, and ring networking at
baseband-RF interface are supported.
Energy saving and environment protection
When R8860 works in the UMTS mode, R8860 supports 4

Carrier and Sector (CS).
R8860 adopts the multi-carrier Power Amplification (PA)

and advanced Doherty and DPD linear PA technology.
The typical power consumption of R8860 is less than 215
W.
Easy installation
R8860 system has small size and light weight, which facilitates
installation and maintenance.

7.1 Logic Structure

SDR is divided into two parts:
Base Band Unit (BBU)
Radio Unit (RU)
BBU and RU are connected by optical fiber, transferring baseband

IQ data and OAM signaling. Figure 87 shows the system structure
of SDR.
FIGURE 87 BS8800 SYSTEM STRUCTURE
7.2 Software Structure

The software system of SDR can be divided into operating support
layer and application layer, as shown in Figure 88.
139
FIGURE 88 SDR SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE
The operating support layer provides the functions of OSS, OAM,

DBS, BRS, BRACS, and SCS to serve to different BTS mode.
OAM (Operating And Maintenance) is to provide the configuration, alarm and performance measurement function.
DBS (Data Base Sub-system) is the database system.
BRS (Barrier Sub-system) is for protocol stack processing.
BRACS (Barrier Access Control Sub-system) is to control the

access to bear layer.
SCS (System Control Sub-system) is to control the power supplying and active/standby switching.
OSS (Operation Support Sub-system) is the support layer in this

entire framework, which is a hardware irrespective platform for
running software and provides basic functions like scheduling,
timer, memory management, communication, sequencing control,
monitoring, alarming and logging.
BSP (Board Support Package) supports the information routing to
the GSM and public parts in the application layer.
VxWorks is the operation platform communication to the hardware
components.

7.3 Signal Flow

7.3.1 System Service Signal Flow
Figure 89 shows the service data flow.
FIGURE 89 SERVICE DATA FLOW
Downlink direction: The service data from BSC/RNC enters

BBU through CC or SA. Abis/Iub interface IP protocol termination and NAT conversion are implemented at CC. The data
is then converted to internal IP datagram and transmitted to
baseband board (UBPG/BPC) through the Gigabit Ethernet
(GE). The baseband board performs modulation, multiplexing,
and rate adaptation for the internal IP datagram, and transmits it to the IQ switching unit of FS. Then, on the IQ switching
unit of FS, de-multiplexing, interleaving, frame forming, and
parallel-serial conversion are implemented. Finally, the internal IP datagram is distributed to RU through the baseband-RF
interface (optical interface).
Note:
If Abis/Iub interface adopts E1/T1 interface, then signal transferring and protection are implemented through the SA board.
If Abis/Iub interface adopts GE interface, then connect with the
CC board directly.
Uplink direction: The IQ switching unit of FS receives baseband signals from RU, performs de-multiplexing for them, and
then transmits them to baseband board through high-speed
serial signals. The baseband board then performs demodulation for them to get the original service signals. These signals
are packaged into Ethernet frames, transmitted to the switching center through GE, and processed according to Abis/Iub
interface transmission protocols on the CC board. Finally, they
are transmitted to BSC/RNC through E1/T1/GE.
141
7.3.2 System Control Signal Flow

The CC board implements the main control function. The control
signal is distributed to all other boards through CC board. Figure
90 shows the control signal flow.
FIGURE 90 CONTROL SIGNAL FLOW
7.3.3 System Clock Signal Flow

The system clock is distributed to all other boards through CC
board, and is distributed to RU through the optical interface. Figure
91 shows the clock distribution.
FIGURE 91 CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
In Figure 91, the clock reference of CC board is from GPS network.

The clock reference of CC board can be: GPS output clock reference, Abis/Iub E1/T1 synchronous upper-level clock, or the input
BITS reference clock of CC's front panel. Select different clock
sources according to specific application scenarios.
