ZTE Magic RRU consists of 6 ports to which 3 PA (power amplifiers) can be connected. Each PA supports 80 Watt linked with a sector/cell and the power is distributed uniformly among the TRXs connected to a PA. This means that with a minimum recommended power of 20 W per TRX, no more than 4 TRXs should be configured on one PA or sector. Thus, for a site having 3 sectors, 444 configuration is suitable.
Transmission requirement for TRX depends on multiple factors such as:
Transmission requirement for TRX depends on multiple factors such as:
- TRX configuration
- Coding Scheme - Higher coding scheme (MCS-9) requires more transmission bandwidth
- Number of static and dynamic PDCH configuration
- Half Rate utilization
In general, a site with a 444 configuration, 2 static and 4 dynamic PDCHs per cell, 100% Half Rate utilization, and an average of MCS6 can be supported by 1 E1 (2.048 Mbps).
