efficient management of the radio spectrum”

Or even 30/10MHz
(1-21)
• Auctioned spectrum such as 24, 28, and 38 GHz have block channel
assignments resulting in limited channel pairs. Assignment of
asymmetrical bandwidths creates more opportunity for channelization
schemes, making more efficient use of spectrum holdings

Aggregation
Asymmetric channel within FDD frequency plan Network
BTS Aggregation / Hub site
• All the 30 MHz channel pairs also appear in the 10 MHz channel plan
• Asymmetrical links may be achieved in the L6, 11, and 18 GHz bands
through the pairing of a 30 and 10 MHz channel resulting in a 3:1
downstream to upstream ratio
f2’
• Traffic throughput is
maximized downstream while f1
spectrum is conserved in the
upstream direction. The 25080
f1’
asymmetry is consistent with 24290 25090
the nature of 3G/4G data traffic.

• Overall we use the same spectrum (80MHz) and get 40% more capacity
