The present invention discloses a method for transmitting signal between a
central channel processing Main Unit (MU) and one or more Remote Radio
Units (RRUs) by using SDH/OTN in Centralized Base Transceiver Station
system using remote radio head (RRH) technology. The method includes:
dividing the communication interface between the MU and the RRUs into a
user plane and a control plane, the user plane mainly for carrying I/Q
sampling data concerning the user data, and the control plane mainly for
carrying the data concerning control signaling; forming the I/Q sampling
data concerning the user data carried by the user plane into an I/Q data
frame via an I/Q data frame adaptation layer, then forming the I/Q data
frame into a GFP frame via GFP and transmitting it on SDH/OTN; and
carrying the control signaling of the control plane on UDP/IP and/or
TCP/IP, and further carrying IP packet on PPP and forming it into a frame
by HDLC, transmitting the HDLC frame including the control plane
signaling on the SDH/OTN via the control character channel of the GFP
frame. According to the present invention, the existing SDH/OTN
transmission network is utilized directly, which further reduces the
management and maintenance operation needed for signal transmission, as
well as networking cost.
