How to Check More RRU Power Available for LTE CUSTOMER

START

Module: MRFUd
#RRU: 2
Check RRU Type & Max RRU Power-> Total RRU Power Sample
Power per RRU : 80W
Total RRU Power : #RRU*Power per RRU= 2*80W = 160W

#TRX: 3
Notes: Max DCS TRX=6, if odd then should be round up for
Check number of TRXDCS & DCS Power -> Total DCS Power example 5 ->6, 3 ->4
Sample
(to avoid over power configuration)
Total DCS Power: 3->4 so Round Up #TRX *
Output_Power_per_GSM_Carrier =4*20 W = 80W

#TRX: 2 (MIMO)
Check LTE default configuration-> Total LTE Power
Sample Total LTE Power= #TRX* Output_Power_per_LTE_Carrier =
2*20W=40W

Total RRU Power - Total DCS Power-Total LTE Power= Total

Remaining Power Sample 160W-80W-40W= 40W-> total remaining power

9.2dBm 9.2dBm
 RS is transmitted in all cells , and when the network load is light , the interference of RS received by PDSCH RBs is lower,
while the RS with higher power will interfere data transmission, so PA,PB=(0,0) setting is better;
 When the network load is heavy, then it’s necessary to ensure RS reliability by boosting RS power with 3dB, so PA,PB=(-
3,1) setting is better in heavy network;

PA,PB=(0,0) setting is better in light network while PA,PB=(-3,1) setting is better in heavy network
