Technical FAQs 4

How does a C-RAN system work?

In a C-RAN architecture, the base station is split up. The RRUs stays at the cell site, while the BBUs are aggregated into a centralized office, sometimes called a BBU hotel, with a centralized controller to process calculations digitally.

What are the components of a C-RAN network?

C-RAN networks comprise the following primary components: BBU hotel. This is a centralized site that functions as a data or processing center. Individual units can stack together without direct linkage or interconnect for dynamic resource allocation based on network needs.

What is a telecom base station?

Picture of a telecom base station. Traditionally, a Radio Access Network (RAN) consists of a group of Base Stations (BS) or NodeB (NB), usually sprinkled on top of buildings to form a cell network, which provided wireless access to mobile users. It is composed of an antennas, radio frequency (RF) equipment, digital processors, and baseband units.

What is a Master C-RAN base station?

Using a master C-RAN base station simplifies radio resource management in complex operating environments such as HetNet or Carrier Aggregation. These master base stations and their creation are also referred to as BBU pooling, or base station hotels. Figure 1 : C-RAN Architecture
