GCB1
The gNB Channel card type B1 (GCB1) is the channel card of the CDU.
Functions
Subscriber channel processing
The GCB1 modulate the packet data, which is received from GMA1 and transmits it through CPRI to RRH
Reversely, it demodulates the data received from RRH and converts it to the format defined in LTE physical layer
standard and transmits it to GMA1.
CPRI interface
The GCB1 interfaces with RRH through CPRI
As GCB1 contains a built-in Electrical to Optic (E/O) conversion device and an Optic to Electrical (O/E) conversion
device,

Connecting to the CDU
Connecting to CDU Card directly via CDU’s Debug Port
Prerequisites
 A portable computer and a terminal emulator program for serial communication
 A debug cable to connect between computer and DU’s debug port
[Debug cable specification and cable wiring]
 Specification : D-subminiature(D-SUB 9pin) to USB cable(EP39-00462A)
DU’s Debug port
USB to Serial Converter
Computer’s COM/USB
port
Debug Cable Wiring
Computer - DU Connection
Debug Cable
* If portable computer do not have COM port, it needs to use USB to Serial Converter
- Debug cable’s COM port needs to be connected with Converter’s COM port
- Converter’s USB port needs to be connected with portable computer’s USB port
※ CAUTION : Do not connect Converter with DU’s debug port directly

Data Traffic Flow
Transmitting Path
The user data received from Baseband-level digital data The converted baseband signal from the
the EPC is transmitted to the processed in Channel Card is broadband is changed to analog signal and
CDU through the Ethernet transmitted to RU through transmitted out through the high-power
CPRI amplifier and antenna
Receiving Path
The RF signal received via the The RF down-conversion are The digitally processed data in baseband is
antenna goes through the performed for the signal and converted to the Gigabit Ethernet frame

Loading Flow
System loading is performed during the system initialization procedure
Loading is a procedure through which System loading is performed After initialization, the system
the processors and devices of the during the system initialization compares the software files and
system download the required procedure. Loading is also versions of the EMS and
software executable files, data, and performed when the operator downloads only the changed
other elements from the EMS restarts eNB software files
