1.1 Product Overview

1.1.1 ZTE Distributed eNodeB Solution
ZTE develops and promotes BBU (baseband unit) +RRU (remote

RF unit) distributed eNodeB solution, in which BBU and RRU work
together to perform the LTE eNodeB service.
ZTE's LTE BBU+RRU distributed eNodeB solution has the following
features:
1. Saving labor cost and engineering cost for networking.
BBU+RRU distributed eNodeB equipment is small in size, light
in weight, and easy for transportation and engineering con-
struction.
2. Fast networking, saving the fees of renting equipment room.
BBU+RRU distributed eNodeB is applicable to various sites,
such as mounted on the steel tower, on the building top, or
on the wall, etc. The installation site is very flexible, not re-
stricted by the space of the equipment room. It can help the
operators deploy network rapidly, and exert the predominance
of Time-To-Market. It can also save the fees of renting equip-
ment room and the network operation cost.
3. Convenient in upgrade and capacity expansion; saving the ini-
tial stage cost of the network.
RRU can be mounted as close to the antenna as possible, which
saves the cost of feeder cable and decreases the wastage of
feeder cable. It also enhances the output power of RRU top
and increase the coverage.
4. Low power consumption, power-saving.
Compared with the traditional eNodeB, BBU+RRU distributed
eNodeB has lower power consumption, which greatly reduces
2 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

the investment and cost in electric power, and saves the net-
work operation cost.
5. Distributed networking, making good use of the network re-
sources.
Supporting star or chain networking mode between BBU and
RRU.
6. Adopting more perspective generalized eNodeB platform.
BBU adopts the platform designed for the future 3G and 4G.
One hardware platform can realize different standard modes,
and several standard modes can coexist in one eNodeB. In this
way, the operators' management is simplified, and several eN-
odeBs to be invested can be integrated into one eNodeB (mul-
timode eNodeB). The operators can select the evolution direc-
tion of the future network more flexibly, and the end users can
also feel the network transparency and evolution smoothness.
1.1.2 Location in Network
ZXSDR B8200 TL200 implements the function of eNodeB's base-

band unit, and works with the RF unit (RRU) to form a complete
eNobeB via the baseband-RF interface.

1.3 Interfaces and Protocols

1.3.1 S1 Interface
S1 interface is defined as the interface between E-UTRAN and EPC.

The main functions of S1 interface are listed as follows:
� S-GW bearer service management
� UE mobility management under LTE_ACTIVE status
� Paging
� NAS signaling transmission
� S1 interface management
� Network information sharing
� Supporting roaming restricted area management
� NAS node selection
� Initial context creation
S1 interface includes two parts: S1-C interface of the control
plane, and S1-U interface of the user plane.
S1-C interface is defined as the interface between eNodeB and
MME, S1-U interface is defined as the interface between eNodeB
and S-GW gateway.
S1 interface control plane S1–C is shown in Figure 6.

FIGURE 6 S1 INTERFACE CONTROL PLANE (ENODEB TO MME)
S1 interface control plane adopts IP-based transmission and SCTP

protocol over IP, providing reliable transmission to the signaling
message of radio network layer.
SCTP protocol inherits the advantages of TCP protocol, and opti-
mizes the reliability and security of transmission. Its property of
multi-streaming assures the redundancy protection of the trans-
port network layer chain. Compared with TCP protocol, SCTP has
the properties of attack-prevention and multi-homing.
S1 interface user plane S1–U is shown in Figure 7.
FIGURE 7 S1 INTERFACE USER PLANE (ENODEB TO SGW)
S1–U is GTP/UDP/IP protocol stack. One advantage of GTP-U pro-

tocol stack is the convenience of tunnel identity within the protocol.
The transport network layer has GTP tunnel end-point and IP ad-
dress identity.

1.3.2 X2 Interface
X2 interface is defined as the interface between eNodeBs. Similar

to S1 interface, X2 interface also includes X2-C and X2-U. X2-C
is the control plane interface between eNodeBs, while X2-U is the
user plane interface between eNodeBs.
X2 interface supports the following functions:
� Supporting the mobility management of UE in connected state
within LTE system
� Context transmission between source eNodeB and target
eNodeB
� User plane tunnel control between source eNodeB and tar-
get eNodeB
� Switch canceling
� Load management

1.4 Service Flow

1.4.1 Service Data Flow
eNodeB protocols are divided into two parts: user plane protocol
and control plane protocol. Service data signal comes to S-GW
after being processed by user plane protocols.
User plane protocol stack is shown in Figure 14.
FIGURE 14 USER PLANE PROTOCOLS

System service data flow is shown in Figure 15.
FIGURE 15 SYSTEM SERVICE DATA FLOW
Uplink service data processing flow is described as below:

� UE side: PDCP executes data header compression and encryp-
tion, RLC executes data segmentation, MAC executes multi-
plexing, PHY executes coding and modulation
� eNodeB side: The corresponding protocols on eNodeB side
execute opposite processing, then data come to S-GW after
GTPU/UDP processing
Downlink service data processing is from eNodeB side to UE side,
and the processing flow is similar to the uplink side.
1.4.2 Control Traffic Flow
eNodeB side protocols are divided into two parts: user plane pro-
tocol and control plane protocol. System control signal comes to
MME after being processed by control plane protocols.
Control protocol stack is shown in Figure 16.
FIGURE 16 CONTROL PLANE PROTOCOLS

System control signal flow is shown in Figure 17.
FIGURE 17 SYSTEM CONTROL SIGNAL FLOW
When UE needs establishing RRC connection, UE starts the RRC

connection procedure, PDCP executes data header compression
and encryption of control signal, RLC executes data segmentation,
MAC executes multiplexing, and PHY executes coding and modu-
lation. The corresponding protocols on eNodeB side executes the
opposite processing, then data comes to MME after S1AP/SCTP
processing.
1.4.3 Clock Traffic Flow
The CC board delivers system clock signal to all the other boards,
and the clock signal is sent to RRU through optical interface. The
clock data flow is shown in Figure 18.

2.2 Boards and Modules

2.2.1 Overview
The boards/modules of the ZXSDR B8200 TL200 are classified into

the following types:
� Control and Clock module: CC
� Baseband Processing Board: BPL
� Power Module: PM
� Site Alarm module: SA
� Fan Array module: FA
� Site alarm Extension Board: SE
The ZXSDR B8200 TL200 is an BBU of a new generation based on
the MicroTCA architecture. The MicroTCA architecture, also called
μTCA architecture, adopts the PICMG standard and is a supplement
to the ATCA specification. Compared with the ATCA architecture,
the MicroTCA architecture is characterized by small size, low cost,
and high flexibility, and thus applicable to eNodeBs.
According to the MicroTCA specification, the ZXSDR B8200 TL200
modules are classified into Full-Height, Half-Height, Single-Width,
and Double-Width. Table 9 provides the Full-Height, Half-Height,
Single-Width, and Double-Width defined in the MicroTCA specifi-
cation.
