Baseband Unit (BBU): Handles baseband signal processing. Remote Radio Unit (RRU): Converts signals to radio frequencies for transmission. Active Antenna Unit (AAU): Integrates RRU and antenna for 5G-era efficiency. 2. Power Supply System This acts as the “blood supply” of the base station, ensuring uninterrupted power. It includes:
Site-selection considerations also are driving changes to the PA and PSU designs. The higher the frequency, the shorter the signals travel, which means mmWave-based 5G will require a much higher density of small cells compared to 4G. Many 5G sites will also need to be close to street level, where people are.
This technique reduces opex by putting a base station into a “sleep mode,” with only the essentials remaining powered on. Pulse power leverages 5G base stations’ ability to analyze traffic loads. In 4G, radios are always on, even when traffic levels don’t warrant it, such as transmitting reference signals to detect users in the middle of the night.
