1 RRU5903 Description
The RRU5903 is an outdoor remote radio unit that is powered by a power cabinet. It is the RF
part of a distributed base station and can be installed near an antenna. The RRU5903 performs
modulation, demodulation, data processing, and combination and division of baseband signals
and RF signals.
With the software-defined radio (SDR) technology, the RRU5903 can work in multiple modes
through software configuration.
The RRU uses a modular design. Its external ports are located at the bottom of the module
and in the cabling cavity.
Figure 1-3 shows the physical ports on the RRU5903 and Table 1-1 describes these ports.
PnP software versions supported by the base station: SRAN12.1 and SRAN13.1
The following describes the specification differences when the RRU5903 (1900 MHz) is used
in different versions:
From SRAN13.1 onwards, the RRU5903 (1900 MHz) can work in NB-IoT mode.
Table 2-1 Frequency bands and RATs supported by an RRU5903 (850 MHz)
When the RRU5903 works in the RX frequency band of 814 MHz to 824 MHz or the TX frequency
band of 859 MHz to 869 MHz, it cannot work in GSM or UMTS mode.
Table 2-3 Output power and carrier configurations of an RRU5903 (850 MHz)
When the RRU5903 (850 MHz) works on 869 MHz to 874 MHz or 889 MHz to 894
MHz, the maximum output power per channel is 60 W.
When the RRU5903 (850 MHz) works only in GSM mode, it supports a maximum
configuration of 2x60 W or the configuration of 80 W on one channel (PA2) only. It does
not support the configuration of 80 W on both channels.
Each value of Output Power per Carrier (W) in the Typical Power Configurations document
indicates the maximum output power of each carrier under the corresponding configuration while
ensuring the network performance. The actually configured carrier power of RF modules can be less
than or equal to the value of Output Power per Carrier (W) in the document. The power
configuration that is not supported in the document may be configurable on the software. Huawei
can only promise the performance with the power configurations listed in the document.
Receiver Sensitivity
The GSM receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 51.021, is measured at the antenna
connector assuming that the channel rate is 13 kbit/s and the bit error rate (BER) is lower than or
equal to 2%.
The UMTS receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 25.141, is measured at the antenna
connector assuming that the channel rate is 12.2 kbit/s and the bit error rate (BER) is lower than or
equal to 0.001.
The LTE FDD receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 36.141, is measured under a 5 MHz
bandwidth based on the FRC A1-3 in Annex A.1 (QPSK, R = 1/3, 25 RBs) standard.
The LTE NB-IoT receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 36.141, is measured under a 200
KHz bandwidth and a 15 KHz subcarrier spacing based on the FRC A14-1 in Annex A.14 (π/2
BPSK, R = 1/3, 1 RB) standard.
The NR FDD receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 38.141, is measured under a 5 MHz
bandwidth based on the Annex A.1 (QPSK, R = 1/3) standard.
