1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
This document provides a high level description of the distributed baseband processing
Unit (BBU) ZXSDR B8200 (hereinafter B8200) that used in ZTE multi-mode wireless
solutions.
The baseband unit B8200, can be inserted into the integrated macro base station, or
connected to RRU in distributed base station. It is responsible for processing the
baseband signals. Based on ZTE SDR platform, it supports GSM, UMTS and FDD LTE
single-mode or multi-mode by software configuration. It enables operators to deploy one
unified radio access network rather than independent GSM, UMTS or LTE/LTE-A
network, which brings simplicity and convenience with low CAPEX and OPEX. Figure 1
shows the position of the ZXSDR B8200 in the typical multi-mode network.
1.2 Benefits
Large Capacity
B8200 adopts Plug-in design with 19-inch, 2U in height and 8.75 kg (with full
configuration) in weight. It can be conveniently mounted on the wall, ground, or in
the 19-inch rack, etc.
Flexible Networking
As the baseband processing unit, B8200 is widely used in ZTE series of base stations,
including indoor macro BS of ZXSDR BS8800, outdoor macro BS of ZXSDR
BS8900A/BS8900B, distributed BS of ZXSDR BS8700 and outdoor compact BS of

The software architecture of the ZXSDR B8200 can be divided into three layers:
Hardware layer
OMC-B OSS
Linux
Hardware (BSP)
RNLC (radio network layer control) provides common and dedicated radio resource
management and control functions for control plane
The SDR platform software provides the functions of Operation Support Sub-system
(OSS), Operating And Maintenance (OAM), Data Base Sub-system (DBS), Bearer
Sub-system (BRS) and System Control Sub-system (SCS):
OSS is the support layer in this entire framework, which is a hardware independent
platform for running software and provides basic functions like scheduling, timer,
OAM provides the configuration, alarm and performance measurement function for
base station.
Board Support Package (BSP) is the software closely connected with the board
hardware and supports Real Time Operation Support Sub-system (RT OSS) to work on
the board.
