The BBU5801M is the baseband unit of the evolved NodeB (eNB) in the long-term evolution (LTE) system. Based on the 3GPP LTE technology, the BBU5801M processes baseband signals, handling uplink and downlink data traffic and controlling RRU functionality via CPRI (Common Public Radio Interface). The BBU5801M establishes wireless connections with the user equipment (UE), manages wireless resources, and offers high-definition voice and video as well as high-speed data services. Considering a variety of BBU application scenarios, the BBU5801M is designed based on advanced open hardware and software architecture, enabling easy deployment and expansion, and supporting smooth evolution and backward compatibility.
Under the 20 MHz bandwidth, when the time division duplex (TDD) time slot is adopted, the maximum downlink rate in a single cell can reach 112 Mbps (CFG2), and the maximum uplink rate can reach 45 Mbps (CFG0). When the frequency division duplex (FDD) is adopted, the maximum downlink rate in a single cell can reach 150 Mbps, and the maximum uplink rate can reach 75 Mbps. This meets the needs of high-speed transmission. Cells Single LTE baseband process (LBP) board can support three 2T2R 20 MHz cells. Therefore, one BBU5801M with six LBPs can support up to 18 2T2R LTE cells. The number of active users reaches up to 400 in each cell.
