 configurations rules
1. More than 3 sectors Î 6-sector or sub equipped 6-sector configuration.

2. More than 2 carriers in any sector = max 3-sectors to be used and requires use of
2 DUW.

3. More than 1 carrier in any sector and more than 3 sectors = use of 2 DUW.

4. One carrier shall not be splitted between DUWs, for ex. f1 shall be only handled by
DUW1 and f2 only by DUW2.

5. Dual Band shall always be seen as a 6-sector with or sub equipped 6-sector
configuration, i.e. at least one of sector 4, 5 or 6 is used. Maximum 2 carriers per
sector are allowed.
 PrerequisiteS

One Baseband pool can handle 6 cell-carriers

In Dual Band configurations, sectors for the

frequency bands are counted separately
and then added together
(Logical sectors)

Î No support of 1xDUW 1x3, 1x4, 3+1+1+1, or 2xDUW 3+3+2+2 or 4+3+2+1

3. More than 1 carrier in any sector and more than 3 sectors = use of 2 DUW.
Î No support of 1xDUW 2+1+1+1, or 1xDUW 2x2 + 2x1
