ZXRAN V9200 Product Description

1 Overview

1.1 Introduction

This document provides a high-level description of the Next Generation Baseband

Processing Unit (NG BBU) – the ZXRAN V9200 (hereinafter referred to as “V9200”),
used in ZTE total wireless solution.

The V9200 is usually connected to RRUs/AAUs, making a distributed solution. It is

responsible for processing the baseband signals. Based on the new generation BBU
platform, the V9200 supports GSM, UMTS, LTE, NB-IoT and NR single modes or
multi-mode by software configuration/upgrade. It enables operators to deploy one
unified radio access network rather than independent GSM, UMTS, LTE, NB-IoT or
NR networks, which brings simplicity and convenience with low CAPEX and OPEX.
Fig. 1-1 shows the position of the V9200 in the typical multi-mode network.

Fig. 1-1 V9200 in the GSM/UMTS/LTE/NB-IoT/NR Multi-mode Network

Note: 1. In this document, G is short for GSM, U for UMTS, F for FDD LTE, T for TDD
LTE, I for NB-IoT, and N for NR. L is short for LTE, which can be FDD LTE or TDD

6 ZTE. All rights reserved.

 ZXRAN V9200 Product Description

LTE. Unless otherwise specified, NR includes both TDD and FDD.

2. Unless otherwise specified, GSM / UMTS supports 1T2R, FDD LTE / NB-IoT supports
2T2R/2T4R/4T4R, TDD LTE supports 2T2R/4T4R/8T8R, and FDD NR supports 2T2R/2T4R/4T4R.

The number of Tx/Rx channels supported by TDD NR will be specified later in the document.

3. The tables in this document specify the maximum hardware capability. The actual
capability depends on the software version.

1.2 Benefits

 Smooth Multi-Mode Evolution

The V9200 supports multiple radio access modes, including GSM, UMTS, LTE,
NB-IoT and NR. All RATs share the common controlling and transmission
resources. You can implement a smooth evolution from 2G/3G/4G to 5G by
corresponding boards or software configuration.

 Large Capacity

The V9200 with a single frame supports up to 90 LTE 2T2R/2T4R/4T4R/8T8R

20MHz cells or 30 TDD NR 2T2R/2T4R/4T4R/8T8R/32T/32R/64T64R 100MHz
cells. When the number of users increases, the V9200’s capacity can be
expanded by adding boards to accommodate the increased users.

 Plug-in Design for Shelf, Convenient Deployment

The V9200 is small in size (19-inch wide and 2U high). It can be conveniently
mounted on a wall or inserted in a 19-inch cabinet or an outdoor site-supporting
cabinet, thus saving a lot of installation space and achieving co-site with other
devices easily.

 Flexible Networking

The V9200 provides FE/GE/10GE/25GE/100GE Ethernet interfaces and

10G/25G fronthaul interfaces. It supports RRUs/AAUs in various networking
topologies, such as star and chain topology to satisfy the requirements of
operators in different network environments and under different transmission
conditions.

1.3 Application Scenarios

The V9200 supports both indoor and outdoor applications. In the indoor scenario, the
V9200 is typically inserted in an indoor rack or a standard 19-inch cabinet offered by
the operator. In the outdoor scenario, the V9200 is typically put in the all-in-one
outdoor cabinet BS9900A (VC9910A+PC9910A) or BS8906B. The typical
application scenarios of the V9200 are shown in the following figures.
