WCDMA Distributed Base Station DBS3800

In areas with the difficulty of site acquisition

such as the Europe, It is very expensive and
complex to build a equipment room for
communication equipments. This problem
is more urgent for BTS because of the huge RRU
number of BTS.

DBS3800 is a new type of Node B with

distributed structure, It features small
size, large capacity, high integration to
provide a zero footprint solution to fulfill
the requirements of easier, fast installation BBU

and network deployment. This enables

the operator to achieve radio coverage in
urban areas, suburban areas, rural areas,
expressways, railways, and hot spots.

BBU extension board

Innovative Distributed Structure Large Capacity, Abundant Services

DBS3800 consists of the baseband unit (BBU) and the radio remote unit One BBU can support up to 3 x 1 configuration to satisfy the requirement
(RRU). The standalone BBU and RRU are mounted separately to process in 3G initial phase. And expand capacity up to 3x2 configuration with
baseband signals and RF signals respectively. The BBU connects to one or extension board, stacking BBU3806s can expand capacity up to 3 x 4 or 6
more RRUs by optical fiber, forming the architecture of a distributed Node B. x 2 configuration.

The BBU is a small-sized cassette, and can be mounted in any standard DBS3800 can support multi-frequency band by different RRU for different
cabinet with free space that is 19 inches wide and 1 U high. No extra space frequency band. Because of the digital interface named CPRI between
is required which allows the operator to fully utilize free space even only BBU and RRU, so BBU can be shared by all RRUs which support different
very limited space is available. frequency band.

The RRU supports outdoor installation, which features small size, light DBS3800 can also support abundant services such as HSDPA, HSUPA and
weight and can be mounted on a pole, a wall, a stand, or other place near MBMS.
antenna. The operator can also select other installation modes as required
by actual situations. No equipment room or air conditioner is required.
Therefore, RRU can be mounted quickly with lower cost.

High Performance and Advanced PA Flexible Network Deployment

With the 16-way RAKE receiver, the receive sensitivity is up to
-126.2dBm with single antenna and no TMA. The output power of TOC
is up to 40W. It is also support 4-way receive diversity and transmitting
diversity. Based on these technologies, the coverage will be greatly
improved. With the advanced RRM algorithm, DBS3800 can provide
normal services for UE with high speed up to 430km/h.
With the application of DPD+Doherty, the PA power efficiency is up
to 33%, the high power efficiency will lower the DBS3800’s power
consumption and the low power consumption can decrease the
operator’s OPEX, and enhance the system reliability.
DBS3800 provides multiple mode interfaces connected to the RNC, such
as E1/T1, E3/T3, STM-1, and fast Ethernet (FE). It can support IP over
E1/T1 or FE or ATM over E1/T1 or STM-1 or ATM/IP dual-stack for Iub
interface. The Iub IP solution can help operator to save the transmission
cost by up to 40%.
The Radio Network Controller (RNC) and DBS3800s can support
multiple networking modes, for example, star, chain, tree, ring, and
hybrid. The chain and tree networking modes support up to five levels
of cascading.
The BBU and RRU3801Cs can also support multiple networking
modes, such as star, chain, ring, and hybrid. It is support eight levels
of cascaded RRU for easy network deployment. The largest distance of
single-level cascading is 40 km, and that of multi-level cascading is
100 km.
