Assignment for Pico sites
-1 small LCG to be deployed with 1 HSDPA scheduler(hardware Required SU=HSDPA SU+CCH Pool+ HSUPA
limitaition) PIC
-Support up to 72 Voice users =0.625
-No PIC supported.
-Max of 50 HSUPA users supported
-1 HSDPA Processing set 2 and 2 HSUPA Processing set 1 required.

-1 Normal LCG to be deployed with 2 HSDPA schedulers =1.125+0+1(2Rx case)=2.125SU
to support up to 320 HSDPA CA users =1.125+0+2(4Rx case)=3.125SU
-Additional PIC pool and CCCH pool needed if 4Rx div activated. Microsite:
-One PIC pool supports 3 cells(4Rx) or 6 cells(2Rx) Required SU=HSDPA SU+CCH pool+HSUPA PIC
-For microsite with 2 cells, small LCG can be used(0.625SU) =1.125(4 cells)
-HSUPA Interference cancellation will be disabled for micro site due to SU =0.625SU(2 cells)

Assignment for sites between 5 to 6 sectors(frequency based grouping)
-For sites between 5 to 6 sectors, LCG1->F1, LCG2->F2, both LCGs are normal
-One Tcell group per scheduler LcrID Frequency/ Tcell CAgroupID
-Advantage of this LCG/Tcell assignment is schedulers capability are distributed LCG
evenly compared to sector based grouping. UE rel-8 needed for this feature(DC 1 F1/1 0 1
support). CAgroupID has to be set per LCG 2 F1/1 1 1
