LTE 1800 Antenna Strategy

RF HQ

TP BUILT SITES

Assumptions

• No tower loading capability issue

• No mounting space issue at the site

• Distributed Antenna system (RRUs

installed at the site.

Case 1a: LTE and DCS using same RRU and dual band Antenna

GSM 900 and DCS 1800 Share Dual Band 4 Port Antennas

• DCS RRU supports GU operation -AND-• DCS RRU supports new LTE band / frequencies -AND-• RRU Power sufficient for LTE• UMTS2100 Antenna deployments unchanged

Case 1b: LTE and DCS using same RRU and single band Antenna

• DCS RRU supports GU operation -AND-• DCS RRU supports new LTE band / frequencies -AND-• RRU Power sufficient for LTE• UMTS2100 and GSM-900 Antenna deployments unchanged

GSM 900 and DCS 1800 using separate Antennas

Case 2a: LTE and DCS using same 4 port Antenna

GSM 900 and DCS 1800 using separate Antennas

• DCS RRU does not support GU operation -OR-• DCS RRU does not support new LTE band / frequencies -OR-• RRU Power sufficient for LTE• UMTS2100 and GSM-900 Antenna deployments unchanged• Existing 2 Port Antenna is replaced with 4 Port Antenna.

Case 2b: LTE and DCS using same Antenna

• DCS RRU does not support GU operation -OR-• DCS RRU does not support new LTE band / frequencies -OR-• RRU Power sufficient for LTE• UMTS2100 and GSM-900 Antenna deployments unchanged• Existing 2Port DCS Antenna and Splitter / combiner is used.• 3dB combiner / splitter loss is induced/ Less coverage

Case 2c: LTE and DCS using same Antenna

• DCS RRU does not support GU operation -OR-• DCS RRU does not support new LTE band / frequencies -OR-• RRU Power sufficient for LTE• Existing 4 Port Antenna is replaced by 6 Port Antenna• No Splitter Loss / loss of coverage• No change in 3G Antenna installations

Case2c: LTE and DCS using same Antenna

• Also suitable for sites where separate UMTS 2100 Dual Beam Antennas are installed for sectorization and 2 ports of Tri-band Antenna are vacated.

Case 3a: LTE system is deployed with new RRU and Antenna

• DCS RRU does not support GU operation -OR-• DCS RRU does not support new LTE band / frequencies -OR-• RRU Power sufficient for LTE• The existing deployments of GSM900 / DCS1800/ UMTS2100

are not changed• New 4 Port Antenna can cater future requirement of 4X4 MIMO

OMO SHARED / MACRO SITES

OMO shared / Hub sites

• Existing tri-band antennas are replaced with quad-band antennas • In case of 3G sectorization, one tri-band antenna for LTE/ GSM

whereas Dual beam antenna for 3G sectors can be adapted• Antenna installation similar to case 2c with RRU replacing RSUs

Multiple Antennas cannot be installed due to space, Tower loading, or OMO sharing.
