Node Group Synchronization

› The synchronization of nodes in a Multi Standard Mixed Mode

configuration follow the same path as the communication flow
it is supposed to synchronize and align, i.e. the CPRI links
with I/Q transport. No additional physical links needed for
synchronization of MSMM Nodes.
› The GPS port of the Digital/Baseband Unit is free to be used
for external GPS reference. • SoCPRI = Synchronization over CPRI
› Distance between baseband units only limited by supported
CPRI length. • Synchronization topology example, with
Baseband R503 for LTE and cascaded Radio Units.
› Gives more flexibility on how to build MSMM configurations.
› Support in L15B and W15B with DUS and DUW. • Maximum three Radio Units can be cascaded if
› Support in L16A, W16A and G16B for all Digital and Baseband R503 is used with DUS 41/31
Baseband units
› Enhancements to existing Mixed Mode Radio features • Maximum five Radio Units can be cascaded if
in LTE, WCDMA and GSM Baseband R503 is used with Baseband 5216/5212
