The future development trend of base station

Traditional analog radio systems use analog for all baseband processing, up/down conversion and other functions. With the development of SDR (Software Defined Radio), many functions of the base station are realized by software, and the development of SDR has prompted the baseband module and RF module of the base station to adopt common hardware structure, i.e., the baseband unit BBU and the remote RF unit RRU, and realize the support of various wireless standards by running different versions of software. wireless standard support by running different versions of software.

Base stations, as the core equipment in wireless communications, are constantly evolving toward smaller size, more frequency band support, all-IP network architecture, and greener transmit power. In the near future, the base station may become a more common unit into our lives, and no longer cause people to fear.
