NOTE

● In the AAU Configuration Combination column containing xA+yP, A indicates the


active module that is installed in the AAU slot and P indicates the passive module that
is not installed in the AAU slot. x and y indicate the frequency bands of active and
passive modules, respectively. For example, 2100 MHz A+700-900 MHz P means that
the frequency band of the active module is 2100 MHz and that of the passive module
ranges from 700 MHz to 900 MHz.
● In the RU Configuration column, UP indicates that the RU is installed in the upper slot
of the AAU and DOWN indicates that the RU is installed in the lower slot of the AAU.
● In the Antenna Configuration column, UP indicates the frequency band supported by
the antenna port connected to the RU in the upper slot at the rear of the antenna,
DOWN indicates the frequency band supported by the antenna port connected to the
RU in the lower slot at the rear of the antenna, and BOTTOM indicates the frequency
band supported by the antenna port located at the bottom of the antenna and
connected to a passive RF module.
● If a combiner is configured, the insertion loss caused by the combiner must be
considered when the passive module is connected to the combiner. Therefore, the gain
of a passive module on the antenna side equals the antenna gain minus 0.5 dB. For
example, with the configuration of 2100 A (2T4R 2x60 W)+1800 P (4 ports)+700-900 P
(2 ports), if a combiner is connected to an RF module working on the 1800 MHz
frequency band, the gain of the RF module on the antenna side is 16.5 dBi (= 17 dBi –
0.5 dB).

a: ATBR in TX/RX Mode indicates that the RF module uses A transmit channels
and B receive channels.
b: The number of carriers in the Capacity column refers to the maximum
number of carriers that can be configured for the module with the RAT
configured, not the number of carriers that can be configured for a single
channel. For details about the module-level and channel-level carrier
configurations supported in single-mode and multimode scenarios, see the
Output Power Configuration column in the following table. When the module
is used with a feature, see the feature specifications in the corresponding
feature parameter description to learn the module-level or channel-level carrier
configurations that are supported after the feature is enabled.
c: The bandwidth information in Supported Bandwidth is the standard
bandwidth that can be configured for a carrier when only one carrier is
configured for the module working in a single mode. In any carrier combination
scenario, the difference between the absolute value of the highest frequency
and the absolute value of the lowest frequency of the involved carriers
operating on the same band cannot exceed the instantaneous bandwidth (IBW).
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

18 Power Configuration Rules for RF


Modules

This section describes the rules for configuring RF output power.

General Rules
● The total output power of all carriers on a single channel cannot exceed the
maximum output power of a single channel.
● The output power is 1 dB less than the standard power when a module is
located at an altitude of 3500 m (11482.80 ft) to 4500 m (14763.60 ft) and is
2 dB less than the standard power when a module is located at an altitude of
4500 m (14763.60 ft) to 6000 m (19684.80 ft).

NOTICE

If RF modules working in multiple frequency bands are used, pay attention to the
following: If a single channel is configured with multiple cells in different
frequency bands and the carrier output power of each cell in a frequency band is
less than the minimum configurable output power of the cell, the performance of
the cell in the frequency band cannot be ensured, and the performance of the
cells that work in other frequency bands and share the same channel as the cell is
also significantly affected. Therefore, such configuration needs to be avoided. (To
ensure cell performance, the minimum configurable output power of a cell varies
depending on the RAT. For details, see the output power configuration rules of
each RAT.)
For example, a single channel of an RF module is configured with one NR cell in
the 1800 MHz frequency band and one LTE cell in the 2100 MHz frequency band.
The carrier output power of the NR cell in the 1800 MHz frequency band is 1 mW,
which is less than the minimum configurable output power per channel for the NR
cell of the module. In this case, the performance of the NR cell cannot be ensured.
In addition, the performance of the LTE cell in the 2100 MHz frequency band on
the same channel deteriorates significantly even if its output power meets the
requirements.

GSM Output Power Configuration Rules


● The standard bandwidth per GSM carrier is 200 kHz.
● If the output power per GSM 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
"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. Power P (unit: W) can be converted to x (unit:
dBm) by using the following formula: .
For example, when an RF module 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
, which is rounded
off to 47.8 dBm (GMSK).
● To ensure the performance of a GSM cell and other cells that share the same
channel as the cell, the minimum configurable carrier output power per
channel for the GSM cell is equal to the total rated power per PA for an RF
module (unit: W) divided by 100. For example, the maximum output power of
an RF module is 2x80 W. When you configure a GSM cell, the minimum
configurable carrier output power per channel for the GSM cell is 0.8 W (80
W/100).
● The following table lists the available power configurations for each GSM
carrier.

UMTS Output Power Configuration Rules


● The standard bandwidth per UMTS carrier is 5 MHz.
● The maximum output power of a UMTS cell is 100 W. To ensure the
performance of the UMTS cell and other cells that share the same channel as
the cell, the minimum configurable carrier output power per channel for the
UMTS cell is equal to the total rated power per PA for an RF module (unit: W)
divided by 100. For example, the maximum output power of an RF module is
2x80 W. When you configure a UMTS cell, the minimum configurable carrier
output power per channel for the UMTS cell is 0.8 W (80 W/100).

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.)
● To ensure the performance of an LTE cell and other cells that share the same
channel as the cell, the minimum configurable carrier output power per
channel for the LTE 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 RF module is 2x80 W. When you configure an LTE cell, the minimum
configurable carrier output power per channel for the LTE cell is 5 W (80 W/
16).

Multimode Output Power Configuration Rules


● GUL/GUN (FDD)/GULN (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.
● To ensure the performance of a cell and other cells that share the same
channel as the cell, the minimum total configurable output power of all
carriers per channel is equal to the total rated power per PA for an RF module
(unit: W) divided by 16. For example, if the maximum output power of an RF
module is 2x80 W, the minimum total output power of all carriers per each
channel is 5 W (80 W/16).
● 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.
● When one LTE FDD carrier and one NR FDD carrier 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.)
● The GU frequency spacing can be calculated using the following formula: GU
frequency spacing ≥ [(GSM bandwidth/2) + (UMTS bandwidth/2)].
