1 Overview
1.1 SDR Architecture
Separating baseband from RF helps to make full use of both the baseband and the RF
part The baseband can achieve the maximum integration, while the RF part focuses on
realizing maximum power and efficiency, and thus providing more flexible networking
modes. After the separation, the baseband part is called the base band unit (BBU),
while the RF part is called the radio unit (RU). BBU and RU can be installed into the
same cabinet to form a macro base station, such as BS8800 and BS8900. They can also
be installed in the remote mode to form a remote radio unit (RRU).
BBU is responsible for processing and controlling digital baseband signals, while RU
is responsible for converting digital baseband signals into analog signals between BBU
and antenna. BBU is connected with RU via the BBU-RU interface using the optical
fiber.
One BBU enables multiple RUs of different systems in the same frequency band or
different frequency bands; RRU can support both GSM and UMTS systems
simultaneously in such common frequency bands as 850M, 900M, 1800M, and 1900M.
It is based on two points mentioned above that SDR can support the dual-mode
multi-frequency configuration.
1.2 IP Abis/Iub Interface
Different from traditional base stations, SDR base stations adopt the all-IP architecture.
Their Abis/Iub interfaces use the IP protocol and physical bearing medium is FE/GE or
E1/T1 (IP over E1/T1) instead of traditional TDM over E1/T1. IP over E1/T1 can take
advantage of the existing transmission equipment to save investment. FE/GE can
obtain more bandwidth, which complies with the evolution trend of the IP-based
telecommunications system.
1.3 OMCB Definition
Operation and Maintenance Center for Node B (OMCB) is the operation and
ZXSDR BTS Configuration for GU Co-site
2
maintenance unit that manages Node B in 3GPP. As the dual-mode product that
supports both GSM and UMTS, SDR also needs the management via OMCB.
Logically OMCB is independent from OMCR of GSM and OMM of UMTS.
Physically you need to integrate OMCB and OMCR/OMM into the same network
management system. The figure below shows the networking example of dual-mode
SDR where OMCB is integrated with OMCR. Here OMCB manages SDR via the
channel provided by BSC, which is indicated by the black line in the figure below.
However, BSC is not related to the communication between SDR and OMCB.
Therefore, logically OMCB is directly connected with SDR, which is indicated by the
red dotted line in Figure 1.3-1.

1.4 Networking of GU Co-site
Figure 1.4-1 shows the SDR dual-mode networking mode. To save transmission cost,
you can create a link from STM-1 to RNC, which transmits part of the time slot to the
iBSC in the transparent mode.

1.5 Configuration Flow
The configuration flow of SDR is shown in Figure 1.5-1.
Data planning is the kernel part process of the entire SDR data configuration. All the
configuration data introduced in this manual are based on data planning.
Hardware Inspection checks the SDR rack, board, physical connection, antenna, and
external alarms. It is performed on the construction site and is not introduced in this
manual.
LMT is a quick configuration tool for a single SDR base station. A maintenance
engineer can connect the SDR and perform data configuration by LMT.
OMCB is the network management configuration tool for SDR base stations. After
SDR is connected to OMCB, all the LMT functions can be performed by OMCB.
Note If the SDR data is inconsistent with the OMCB data, the operator may perform data
synchronization on OMCB to download the data to SDR. The operator may also upload
the data to OMCB.

the radio system of WCDMA.
BBUs and RRUs use star connection.
2.2 Transmission Resource Planning
Figure 2.2-1 shows the planning of transmission resources. The SDR base station
connects to the RNC via IP over E1 and IP over FE respectively. CS services are
transmitted via E1 preferentially, while PS services are transmitted via FE
preferentially. The interface board on the RNC side uses SDTB2, which transmits part
of the time slot to iBSC in the transparent mode.
Table 2.2-1 shows the specific data planning.

3 LMT Configuration
3.1 Overview
Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) is intended for the onsite commissioning
personnel that use this tool to perform quick commissioning and maintenance.
By using the LMT, you can operate, maintain and configure the transmission data,
physical data and partial radio data of ZXSDR. In addition, during commissioning, you
can import the ZDB template and then synchronize the entire commissioning data table
from the OMC to NE. This method greatly saves commissioning time and raises
commissioning efficiency.
The LMT configuration flow is as shown in Figure 3.1-1.

3.2 LMT Login to SDR
3.2.1 LMT Use Prerequisite
1. Before using the LMT, install the jre-6u2-windows-i586-p.exe file on your
computer. The installation file is located under the JRE directory of the LMT
installation package.
2. Install the LMT software. The installation file is LMTSetup.exe in the LMT
installation package. Directly run this file.
3.2.2 Login Mode
LMT login supports two modes, online configuration and offline configuration.
Online configuration
The online configuration is a common mode. The online configuration indicates
direct configuration for the ZDB table of the SDR. The data configured by the
mode is instantly validated. After synchronizing the entire table, the SDR resets
and restarts.
Debug the DEBUG/OMC debugging network port on the CC board of the SDR
that the computer is directly connected to. Then run the LMT program.
Offline configuration
The offline configuration is used to modify the configuration in the client. The
configuration results are saved into a specified directory in the XML format. The
offline configuration does not affect running of the SDR because it does not
need the direct connection with the SDR.
After enabling the LMT, use the offline configuration. Specify a local
configuration file for the offline configuration. According to the requirement,
select B8200 or B8700.
3.2.3 Login Steps
[Purpose]
Use the offline configuration mode to log in to the SDR.
[Context]
13
IP calculation of BBU boards
All boards on the BBU have the fixed internal IP addresses which are related
with the corresponding slot of the board. The relation is as follows: 192.
Environment Number. Slot Number.16.
The environment Number is used to distinguish from different SDRs in the same
network. The default environment No. is 254.
Therefore, the IP address of the active CC board (Slot 1) is 192.254.1.16.
IP configuration of the debugging device
In order to establish the link between the debugging device and SDR, first
configure the IP address that is in the same network segment with the CC board
for the debugging device.
The debugging device connects to the ETH1 interface on the active CC board of
the SDR through the Ethernet cable. Configure the IP address that is in the same
network segment with the CC board but is not repeated with the IPs of other
boards in the SDR. To conveniently access all the boards in the SDR, the subnet
mask should be set to 255.255.0.0, and the network gateway is set according to
your requirement.
How to distinguish between the active CC and standby CC
If there is only one CC board in the SDR, the CC board must be active.
If there are two CC boards respectively in Slot 1 and Slot 2, after power-on,
observe the MS indicator. The CC board where the MS indicator is on is active.
Connect the active CC board with the debugging device.
Note: Before configuration, extract the standby CC board. After the active CC board is
configured and runs normally, insert the standby CC board.

3.3.2 Create Rack
[Purpose]
This example adds two new RRU racks. They are:
One RRU(R8860), working frequency 1800MHz, and radio mode GSM
ZXSDR BTS Configuration for GU Co-site
18
One RRU(R8840), working frequency 2100MHz, and radio mode WCDMA
[Context]
One base station may have more than one rack. BBU corresponds to one rack (main
rack 1), and is mandatory. RRU corresponds to one or more than one rack (up to 12
remote racks).
[Steps]
1. In the default Main Rack1 view, add a new BBU board by right-clicking on the
slot on the view and selecting the board, as shown in Figure 3.3-4.
Figure 3.3-4 Configuring BBU Board
2. In the resource tree, choose Base Station > Add Rack to add a new rack, as
shown in Figure 3.3-5.

Figure 3.3-5 Add New Rack R8860
3. Adding Antenna and Board
Currently two types of antenna are available: ANT(common antenna) or
RET(adjustable mechanical antenna).
One RRU(R8860): working frequency 1800MHz, radio mode GSM, and the
corresponding board is GU188.
One RRU(R8840): working frequency 2100MHz, radio mode WCDMA, and the
corresponding board is U216.
4. The rack view after adding new RRU racks is shown in Figure 3.3-6.

3.3.3 Create Topology Structure
[Purpose]
The purpose of configuring the topology structure is to determine the port on the FS
board through which RRU is connected to BBU.
[Precondition]
Configure RRU common parameter before creating rack topology, as described
in section 3.5.1. The main rack and remote rack have been added. At least one
main rack is added. Multiple remote racks are supported.
The interface boards for topology connection on the rack have been added.
[Context]
ZXSDR BTS/Node B uses FS board on the main rack for the topology connection. One
FS supports up to six interfaces, and can be connected to RRU.
[Steps]
1. Adding B8200 and R8860 topology structure. In the resource tree, choose
Ground Resource Management > Topology. A dialogue box appears, as
shown in Figure 3.3-7.
21
Figure 3.3-7 Configure Topology Structure
2. Right-click the blank area in the dialogue box. A shortcut menu appears. Select
Add.
3. Configure the parameters according to the actual system and click OK, as
shown in Figure 3.3-8.
ZXSDR BTS Configuration for GU Co-site
22
Figure 3.3-8 Configure Topology Parameter
[Parameter Description]
(1) Area 1 is the FS board for B8200.
(2) Area 2 is the DTR board for R8860.
(3) Higher-level Board Port ID is the FS fiber port number. It is consistent with the
physical port of FS and R8860 connection. In this example it is set to 0.
(4) Lower-level Board Port ID is kept as 0.
(5) Topology Type is consistent with the physical connection. In this example it is
Star.
Caution
Upper level and lower level: the board or rack close to the BBU is of the upper level,

4 OMCB Configuration
4.1 Overview
OMCB serves as the background network management system of ZXSDR base stations.
You can configure transmission data, physical data, and part of radio data via OMCB,
which can implement the functions of LMT in a more flexible way. Using the
automatic link establishment function, OMCB can open sites in a remote way, which
therefore speeds up site opening and reduces cost. Figure 4.1-1 shows the configuration
flow of OMCB.

4.2 Add a Route
Since the IP addresses of the OMCB server and SDR are not in the same network
segment, you need to add a route from the OMCB gateway to SDR.
In this example, the IP address of the OMCB server is 139.29.12.1. The IP address of
the OMCB gateway GIPI_OMCB is 139.29.12.254. OMCB link IP address of SDR is
112.12.6.18.
[Steps]
1 The command for adding a route on OMCB (SBCX) is:
#route add -net 112.12.6.18 gw 139.29.12.254 netmask 255.255.255.0
139.29.12.1
Note In the LINUX system, the command for adding a route is:
route add -net destination network address gw next-hop address netmask IP address of
the network mask
2 After the operation, execute the netstat nr command to view the route.
3 Set a permanent route. After adding the route using the route add command, to
avoid route loss after restarting the SBCX, you can add the line blow into the
/etc/rc.d /rc.local file as the root user:
#route add net 112.12.6.18 gw 139.29.12.254 netmask 255.255.255.0
139.29.12.1
4.3 Modify Server Configuration File
To ensure the successful link establishment between the OMCB server and the
foreground SDR base station, it is necessary to check and modify some profiles on the
OMCB server.

/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file is 10021.
3 If the value is not the correct one, modify it.
4.3.3 Modify the deploy-default.properties file as the OMC user
1 Log in to the server as the OMC user.
2 Enter the \ums-svr\deploy directory, and then open the
deploy-default.properties file.
3 Search the userdefined-uep-psl-ftpserver.port field and make sure that the
value of this field is identical with the configuration of the ftpserver port enabled
on the OMCB server. If it is not, modify the value to 20021.
