ECPRI测试原理和测试方法专题培训课件

1、ECPRI测试原理和测试方法Base station functions are co-located with the radio tower at the base of the antenna or basement of a tall building.Drawbacks of co-location:RF and Baseband Processing are co-located at the base of the tower. Needs to be physically located very close to the antenna because they are dr
