Traditional site is composed from\u00a0 BBU+RRU+antenna, while Massive Mimo<\/a> site is composed from BBU<\/a> + AAU architecture.<\/p>\n Massive MIMO<\/a> adopts massive antenna arrays, significantly increasing the number of antenna channels. Antenna arrays and IF\/RF modules are integrated into AAUs.<\/p>\n The number of transmit\/receive antennas increases dramatically on the gNodeB side.<\/p>\n What is Antenna ?<\/strong><\/p>\n It<\/a> interfaces with cell phone<\/a> wirelessly and transmits\/receivers RF signals.<\/p>\n What is RRU\u00a0?<\/strong><\/p>\n Remote radio<\/a> unit (RRU) applies to distributed base stations and macro+distributed scenario, radio frequency<\/a> unit (RFU) applies to macro base stations. They are used to transmit and receive baseband signals, modulate and demodulate RF signals, process data, and amplify the power<\/a> of signals.<\/p>\n
