a: ATBR in the TX/RX Mode column indicates that the RF module uses A transmit
channels and B receive channels.

 The NB-IoT multi-carrier function is an NB-IoT multi-carrier transmission technology introduced based on 3GPP
Release 13. An NB-IoT cell can have multiple carriers and assigns UEs to multiple carriers to increase cell
 capacity. For details about this function and related parameter settings, see NB-IoT Enhancements (FDD) in the
eRAN FDD Feature Documentation.
 The bandwidth information in Supported Bandwidth is the standard bandwidth that can be configured for a
single-mode carrier when only one carrier is configured. In any carrier combination scenario, the total bandwidth
of all carriers cannot exceed the IBW value. For details about the bandwidth that can be configured for each carrier
in each carrier combination scenario, see Output Power Configuration in the following table. For details about
the non-standard bandwidths that can be configured for LTE FDD carriers, see Compact Bandwidth (FDD).

power of each carrier in each combination. Before referring to this document, you must be familiar with the output
power configuration rules. For details, see 5 RF Output Power Configuration Rules.
 Each value of Output Power per Carrier (W) in the Typical Power Configurations document indicates the
maximum output power of each carrier under the corresponding configuration while ensuring the network
performance. The actually configured carrier power of RF modules can be less than or equal to the value of
Output Power per Carrier (W) in the document. The power configuration that is not supported in the document
may be configurable on the software. Huawei can only promise the performance with the power configurations
listed in the document.

5 RF Output Power Configuration Rules

This chapter describes the rules for configuring RF output power.

General Rules

 For an nT RF module (n is 2, 4, or 8), the restriction is as follows: , where

PAi indicates the number of carriers of transmit channel i; Pi indicates the output power of each
carrier of transmit channel i; PAt indicates the total number of carriers configured in this RF
module; P indicates the maximum output power supported by each carrier.
 The output power is 1 dB less than the standard power when an RF module is located at a
height of 3500 m (11482.80 ft.) to 4500 m (14763.60 ft.); and is 2 dB less than the standard
power when the RF module is located at a height of 4500 m (14763.60 ft.) to 6000 m (19684.80
ft.).

GSM Output Power Configuration Rules

 Output Power per GSM Carrier With Dynamic Power Sharing is the available maximum
output power for every carrier during dynamic power sharing. If this power is exceeded, the
system cannot guarantee the network performance and will report an alarm.
 If the output power per carrier on a single channel is required to be 60 W, the corresponding
power license item must be purchased.
 Before using the GSM power sharing function, ensure that the license item "Resource-
BSC6900-LGMIDPS-Dynamic Power Sharing (per TRX)" has been purchased. To enable the
power sharing function, run the SET GCELLCHMGAD command with QTRUPWRSHARE
set to DYNAMIC and MultiGSMDynPWShareSW set to ON.
 For the GBTS and eGBTS, the output power per carrier of the same RF module is the same.
However, the unit of the output power per carrier is W for the GBTS and dBm for the eGBTS.
The conversion relationship between unit W and unit dBm is as follows: dBm = 10 x log (1000
x W, 10). For example, when an RRU works in GSM mode, the output power per carrier that
can be configured for the GBTS is 60 W (GMSK). Then, the output power per carrier that can
be configured for the eGBTS is 10 x log (1000 x 60, 10), which is rounded off to 47.8 dBm
(GMSK).
 The following table lists the available power configurations for each GSM carrier.

UMTS Output Power Configuration Rules

The bandwidth per UMTS carrier is 5 MHz.

LTE FDD Output Power Configuration Rules

When two LTE FDD carriers are configured, it is recommended that the power spectral density
(PSD) of the two carriers be set to the same value. PSD = Carrier output power/Carrier bandwidth
(1.4 MHz and 3 MHz bandwidths are considered as 5 MHz bandwidth in this formula.)

LTE NB-IoT Output Power Configuration Rules

 The formulas for calculating the minimum NB-IoT power per PA for an RF module are as
follows:
 When an NB-IoT cell works in guardband or inband mode, the minimum NB-IoT power
per PA for an RF module is equal to the rated total power per PA divided by 10000. When
an NB-IoT cell works in standalone mode, the minimum NB-IoT power per PA for an RF
module is equal to the rated total power per PA divided by 100.
 For example, the maximum output power of an RRU is 2x60 W. The minimum NB-IoT
power per PA for the RRU when NB-IoT cells work in standalone mode is equal to 0.6 W
(60 W/100).
 In standalone mode, the bandwidth spacing between two NB-IoT carriers must be less than or
equal to 300 kHz.
 When the LTE bandwidth is 5 MHz, LTE NB-IoT cells cannot be deployed in guardband
mode.
 After the NB-IoT multi-carrier function is enabled, one NB-IoT multi-carrier cell can be
configured with multiple NB-IoT carriers.
 When an NB-IoT multi-carrier cell is configured in standalone mode, a maximum of four
NB-IoT carriers can be configured.
 When an NB-IoT multi-carrier cell is configured in inband mode and the LTE bandwidth
is 5 MHz, a maximum of four NB-IoT carriers can be configured. If the LTE bandwidth is
 10/15/20 MHz, a maximum of eight NB-IoT carriers can be configured for an NB-IoT
multi-carrier cell.
 When a cell is configured with multiple NB-IoT carriers, the cell can have only one
anchor carrier but can have multiple non-anchor carriers.

The NB-IoT multi-carrier function is an NB-IoT multi-carrier transmission technology introduced based on
3GPP Release 13. An NB-IoT cell can have multiple carriers and assigns UEs to multiple carriers to increase
cell capacity. For details about this function and related parameter settings, see NB-IoT Enhancements
(FDD) in the eRAN FDD Feature Documentation.

NR Output Power Configuration Rules

To ensure the performance of an NR cell, the minimum configurable output power of the NR cell is
equal to the total rated power per PA for an RF module (unit: W) divided by 16.
For example, the maximum output power of an RRU is 2x80 W. When you configure an NR cell,
the minimum configurable output power of the NR cell is 5 W (80 W/16).

Multimode Output Power Configuration Rules

 GSM, UMTS, and LTE FDD carriers cannot be configured on the same channel simultaneously
in a single frequency band.
 The output power per carrier must be balanced among multiple channels if possible.
 Non-MSR and MSR
 Non-MSR: Carriers of different RATs cannot be configured on the same RF channel. For
example, a 2T RF module supports GU. If GSM carriers are configured on PA1, then
UMTS carriers cannot be configured on PA1. That is, UMTS carriers can be configured
only on PA2, and GSM carriers cannot be configured on PA2.
 MSR: Carriers of different RATs can be configured on the same RF channel. For example,
a 2T RF module supports GU. Both GSM carriers and UMTS carriers can be configured
on PA1 or PA2 simultaneously.
 The GU frequency spacing can be calculated using the following formula: GU frequency
spacing ≥ [(GSM bandwidth/2) + (UMTS bandwidth/2)].
