Working Principle
The RRN consists of the transmission interface unit, baseband processing unit, radio
frequency (RF) processing unit, and antenna.
Figure 2-2 Logical structure of the RRN

RRN3901
The functions of the modules are as follows.

Module Function
Transmission The transmission interface unit provides the physical port used to
interface unit communicate with the ReBTS.
Baseband The baseband processing unit performs the protocol-based functions for
processing the user plane over the Uu interface, including uplink and downlink
unit scheduling and data processing.
RF processing The RF processing unit modulates and demodulates baseband and RF

unit signals, and processes data.
Antenna The antenna is used to transmit and receive RF signals, and implement
wireless connection to the DeNB.
Function
l The RRN is the wireless backhaul device in the out-of-band relay solution.
l The relay system consists of two logical nodes: a donor eNodeB (DeNB) and a relay
node (RN).
l In the relay solution, the ReBTS (Relay BTS) and DeNB work on different frequencies,
which is called out-of-band relay. In Figure 2-3, the DeNB works on frequency F1 and
ReBTS works on frequency F2.
The following figure shows the out-of-band relay network structure.
Figure 2-3 Out-of-band relay network structure

NOTE
l If the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of signals transmitted at rank 2 and the signal to interference plus noise
ratio (SINR) correspond to the same signal strength level, the RRN3201 sets the indicator status based on
the corresponding signal strength level.
l If the SNR of signals transmitted at rank 2 and the SINR correspond to different signal strength levels, the
RRN3201 determines the signal strength level corresponding to the SINR and then compares the SNR of
signals transmitted at rank 2 (130 dB is used if the SNR is a smaller value) with the lower limit of the
SNR range corresponding to the determined signal strength level. The signal strength level is reduced by
one for every 50 dB that the SNR is less than the lower limit of the SNR range.

If a certain type of cables mentioned in this section is not required, ignore the routing requirements for
this cable type.
General Cabling Requirements

Bending Radius
l The bending radius of a power cable or a protection ground (PGND) cable must be at
least three times the diameter of the cable.
Cable Binding

RRN3901
l Different types of cables must be separately routed with a minimum spacing of 30 mm

and cannot be entangled or crossed.
l The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be
damaged.
l The cable ties are installed in the same direction, and all cable ties bound at the same
place must be aligned horizontally.
l The excess of indoor cable ties is trimmed off, and 5 mm excess is reserved for each
outdoor cable tie, without remaining rough edges.
l Labels or nameplates must be attached to both ends of the cables after cables are
installed.
Security
l Cables are placed away from sharp objects or wall burrs. If these positions are inevitable,
cables are protected with protection pipes.
l Cables are routed away from heat sources, or heat-insulation materials are added
between cables and heat sources.
l A clearance (about 0.1 m recommended) is reserved at turns or the position close to a
device, facilitating cable and device maintenance.
Indoor Cabling
l Cables are routed indoors through the feeder window.
l Drip loops must be prepared outside the feeder window, and the requirements for the
minimum bending radius are met.
l When cables are routed indoors, personnel are required indoors for cooperation.
l The feeder window must be waterproofed.
Outdoor Cabling Requirements

l Cables routed outdoors must be led through a pipe if they may be damaged.
l AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables buried in the ground must be
protected.
l If cables at the cabinet bottom need to be routed through a pipe along the ground, the
pipe must be led into the cabinet base for about 30 mm to 50 mm, not into the cabinet.
The pipe must be blocked with waterproof tape or silica gel, and secured to the cable
hole at the cabinet base with a metal piece.
l If cables at the cabinet bottom need to be routed through a pipe along the metal cable
trough, the pipe may not be led into the cabinet base. The cable trough must be sealed

4.7.4 Attaching the Color Ring

This section describes the procedure and precautions for attaching the color ring.
Context
The color ring is usually used for labeling the feeder or jumper.
Procedure
Step 1 Determine the positions for attaching the color rings.
For a base station with the tower-mounted antennas, the color rings are attached in the
following positions:
l Jumper for the antenna system: 200 mm (7.87 in.) away from the outdoor connector of
the feeder
l Outdoor feeder: 200 mm (7.87 in.) away from the outdoor connector of the feeder
l Outdoor feeder: 1 m (39.37 in.) away from the tower platform on the feeder after it is led
down from the platform
l Outdoor feeder: 1 m (39.37 in.) away from the feeder window on the feeder before it is
led indoors
l Indoor feeder: 200 mm (7.87 in.) away from the indoor connector of the feeder
l Jumper for the cabinet: 200 mm (7.87 in.) away from the indoor connector of the feeder

RRN3901
NOTICE
After the feeder is completely routed, you can finally determine the two positions: 1 m (39.37
in.) away from the tower platform on the feeder after it is led down from the platform; 1 m
(39.37 in.) away from the feeder window on the feeder before it is led indoors.
Figure 4-58 shows the positions for attaching the color rings.

antennas
(1) Antenna (2) Color ring (3) Feeder (4) Jumper
(5) RF unit (6) Position of the tower platform (7) Position of the feeder window -

RRN3901
NOTE
Generally, you can attach color rings by referring to Figure 4-58. In actual situations, you can adjust the
locations of the color rings as required.
l If a Tower-Mounted Amplifier (TMA) is installed, you need to attach color rings to the jumpers 200
mm (7.87 in.) away from the input and output ends of the TMA.
l If the antenna system of a base station is not installed on a tower, the feeder is not led down from the
tower platform, and associated color rings are not required.
l If the cabinet is installed outdoors, the feeder is not led into the equipment room through the feeder
window, and associated color rings are not required.
l If multiple systems share an antenna system, only color rings for system 1 are required.
Step 2 Attach the color rings.
After you determine the positions for attaching the color rings, choose appropriate color rings
by referring to "Configurations of the Color Ring" in Color Ring for the Antenna System.
The feeder or jumper should be wrapped with two or three layers of the color rings in the
same direction. In addition, the inner layer should be completely covered by the outer layer,
and each layer should be pressed tight. Figure 4-59 shows how to attach a color ring.
Figure 4-59 Attaching a color ring
NOTE
l The spacing between two rings should be within the range of 10 mm (0.39 in.) to 15 mm (0.59 in.).
l For the same RF channel of a feeder or jumper, all the rings must be attached in consistency
regarding the quantity and color.
