Protocol Interface Description ..........10 ZXMBW E9230 Position in the Network ZXMBW E9230 is located in the radio access layer of WiMAX net- works and used to provide broadband radio access for users in outdoor hot and blind spots, suburbs, rural areas, railways and highways.
E9230 Compact Base Station (outdoor) Customer Premises Equipment DHCP server Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server Operation, Maintenance and Administration Functions The ZXMBW E9230 provides the following functions. Forward Signal � Performs OFDMA modulation, layer processing, digi- Processing tal up-conversion, intermediate frequency amplification, RF power amplification and transmit filtering on received base- band signals and then transmits them by using the antenna.
Reverse service The signals from ATs are down converted by the RF process unit of the ZXMBW E9230 and then sent to the baseband process unit for channel modulation. Afterwards, these signals are sent to the CPU control unit for IP packing and then transmitted to the core network through the transmission network.
