1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
This document provides a high level description of the Base Band Unit (BBU) ZXSDR
B8200 (hereinafter referred to as ‘B8200’) that is used in ZTE multi-mode wireless
solutions.
The baseband unit B8200 can be inserted into the integrated macro base station, or
connected to the RRU in distributed base station. It is responsible for processing the
baseband signals. Based on ZTE innovative Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform, it
supports GSM, UMTS, LTE and NB-IoT single-mode or multi-mode by software
configuration. It enables operators to deploy one unified radio access network rather
than an independent GSM, UMTS, LTE or NB-IoT network, which brings simplicity and
convenience with low CAPEX and OPEX. Figure 1- 1 shows the position of B8200 in a
typical GSM/UMTS/LTE/NB-IoT multi-mode network.
Figure 1- 1 B8200 in a GSM/UMTS/LTE/NB-IoT Multi-Mode Network
This document is structured as follows. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the

characteristics of B8200, its key benefits and application scenarios. Chapter 2 gives the
architecture and functionality. Chapter 3 covers the system capability, and chapter 4
introduces site support cabinets for B8200.
NOTE: In this document, G is short for GSM, U is short for UMTS, F is short for FDD LTE,
T is short for TDD LTE, and I is short for NB-IoT. L is short for LTE, which can be FDD
LTE or TDD LTE.

1.2 Benefits
 Multi-Mode Baseband Unit
B8200 supports all kinds of wireless access technologies simultaneously, including

GSM, UMTS, LTE and NB-IoT, which share the common control functions and
transmission totally. It fully satisfies operators’ need with the minimum hardware
change.
 Large Capacity
To adapt to the rapid expansion of network development and the prosperity of

multi-mode networks, the latest BBU boards are released with higher processing
capacities, which surpass the legacy ones, including RRC connected user number,
cell number and data throughput. The increase in the board capacity improves the
overall capacity of the BBU. In addition, the new boards can be used together with
the legacy ones, which provide flexibility during upgrade.
 Plug-in Design for Shelf, Convenient Deployment
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
B8200 provides FE/GE interfaces and IP networking. It supports RRU in different

networking modes, like star and chain networking to satisfy the requirements of
operators in different environments and under different transmission conditions.
1.3 Application Scenarios
As the baseband processing unit, B8200 is widely used in a series of base stations made
by ZTE, including the indoor macro base station ZXSDR BS8800, the outdoor macro
base station ZXSDR BS8900A/BS8900B, the distributed base station ZXSDR BS8700
and the outdoor compact base station ZXSDR BS8906.

Typical application scenarios of B8200 are shown in the following figure.

4 Site Support Cabinets for B8200

When deployed outdoors, B8200 is usually put into the site support cabinets. Three types
of cabinets are provided with certain waterproof and dust-proof capability, satisfying
different accommodation requirements on power, transmission or other third-party
equipment. The details are as follows.
4.1 BC8910B/BC8911B
BC8910B is the largest cabinet out of the three cabinets, including baseband unit shelf,
fan and ventilation system, AC/DC power system and additional 4U space reserved for
transmission or other equipment. Moreover, BC8910B contains two sets of batteries,
which maximally supports 2*150AH/135AH.
The hardware structure of BC8911B is similar to that of BC8910B, except that it contains
one set of battery and 11U space reserved for transmission or other equipment.
The BC8910B/BC8911B hardware architecture is shown in the following figure.

5. Reserved space (for transmission, etc.) 6. Battery

4.2 BC8910A
Among the three cabinets, BC8910A is the medium size. It can be used when there are
auxiliary devices to be contained but without battery. There are mainly five parts in
BC8910A: baseband unit, power supply system, power distribution module, heat
exchanging system and reserved space for transmission or other equipment. Together
with the fan system and ventilation vessel, the heat exchanger located in the cabinet
door makes the heat exchanging system. The fan system contains fan control element
(FCE) and six fans. The BC8910A hardware architecture is shown in the following figure.

4.3 ZXSDR BS8906
ZXSDR BS8906 is the smallest one out of the three cabinets. It is an outdoor compact
base station, with two kinds of cabinets: the compact cabinet, consisting of BBU, RSU
and supporting modules, and the standalone cabinet, consisting of BBU and supporting
modules.
When there are not many ancillary devices, the standalone cabinet can be chosen to
accommodate BBU inside. The physical structure is shown in the following figure.
