Baseband Specifications of a Multimode Base Station
In coBBP scenarios, the baseband signals of multiple modes are processed by one baseband processing board. CoBBP baseband specifications described here refer to the maximum
baseband specifications of a baseband processing board when it processes baseband signals of multiple modes at the same time. For example, baseband specifications of GL coBBP
refer to the maximum baseband specifications of a baseband processing board when it processes GSM and LTE FDD baseband signals at the same time.
The following tables provide the baseband specifications in GU, GL, UL, and GUL coBBP scenarios, respectively.
NOTE:
In GL, UL, or GUL coBBP scenarios, the UBBPd board does not support hybrid configuration of 1R and 4R LTE FDD cells, or 2R and 4R LTE FDD cells.
