Flexi Multiradio BTS Architecture
Flexi Multiradio Architecture basic principles
• Both GSM/EDGE and WCDMA/LTE have own separate
system modules when the BTS is used in concurrent mode
having several operational modes simultaneously.
• The radio modules (RFM and RRH) as well as the antenna
lines could be shared between the system modules.
• The interconnections between the system modules and the
radios can be routed through one system module or the
connections can be separate from both system modules.
• In concurrent operation Flexi MR BTS is seen as two
separate logical network elements with common radio
resources.

Flexi Multiradio BTS GSM/EDGE Architecture
Main functions of the modules
• The System Module is the center of the system. It has all the
external interfaces of the BTS (apart from the antenna
interfaces). Main functions of the System Module are the
Transport, BTS O&M, synchronization, power distribution and
baseband processing functions. System Module interfaces
support up to four Radio Modules with local power feed.
Radio modules are connected to System Module through
RP3-01 interfaces.
• The Radio modules and RRH’s contain both RF BB and RF
functions. They are multistandard and multicarrier
transceivers. RF BB includes RP3-01 interface with
multifunctional ASICs and controller. In addition of TX/RX
lineups module has integrated front end. RFM front end will
be implemented with SW tunable filters. RRH will have fixed
full band filters.
