A 5G Base Station is known as a gNode B (next 'generation' Node B). This is in contrast to a 4G Base Station which is known as an eNode B ('evolved' Node B), and a 3G Base Station which is known as a Node B. Figure 21 illustrates two Standalone (SA) Base Station architectures, known as 'option 2' and 'option 5'.
Baseband Unit (BBU): The baseband unit processes digital signals and manages the overall communication with the core network. In some 5G architectures, the BBU is separated from the RF frontend, leading to a Cloud RAN (C-RAN) or virtualized RAN (vRAN) deployment.
Massive MIMO: The use of a large number of antennas allows the base station to serve multiple users simultaneously by forming multiple beams and spatially multiplexing signals. Modulation Techniques: 5G base stations support advanced modulation schemes, such as 256-QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), to achieve higher data rates.
Often referred to as the brain center, this includes: Baseband Unit (BBU): Handles baseband signal processing. Remote Radio Unit (RRU): Converts signals to radio frequencies for transmission. Active Antenna Unit (AAU): Integrates RRU and antenna for 5G-era efficiency. 2. Power Supply System
