 The GSM receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 51.021, is measured at the antenna
connector assuming that the channel rate reaches 13 kbit/s and the bit error rate (BER) is lower than
or equal to 2%.
 The UMTS receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 25.104, is measured at the antenna
connector assuming that the channel rate reaches 12.2 kbit/s and the BER is lower than or equal to
0.1%.
 The LTE FDD receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 36.104, is measured under a 5 MHz
bandwidth based on the FRC A1-3 in Annex A.1 (QPSK, R = 1/3, 25 RBs) standard.
 The LTE NB-IoT receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 36.104, is measured under a 200
KHz bandwidth and a 15 KHz subcarrier spacing based on the FRC A14-1 in Annex A.14 (π/2
BPSK, R = 1/3, 1 RB) standard.

2.4 Typical Output Power

 The "Output Power per Carrier" in the output power tables indicates the maximum output power
supported by the network performance.
 (a) indicates that LTE NB-IoT cells can be deployed only in inband mode.

Issue 08 (2018-11-30) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 7

RRU5909 Description 2 Technical Specifications

 The following inband & guardband table describes the total output power of LTE FDD+LTE NB-IoT.
For details about power configurations for LTE FDD and LTE NB-IoT, see the "L+M Configuration
Combination" sheet in NB-IoT Typical Power Configurations (RRU) or NB-IoT Typical Power
Configurations (RFU).
 When two LTE FDD carriers are configured, it is recommended that the power spectrum 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 output power is 1 dB less than the standard power when an RRU/RFU is located at a height of
3500 m to 4500 m; and is 2 dB less than the standard power when the RRU/RFU is located at a
height of 4500 m to 6000 m.
 For an RRU/RFU working in GSM mode, the maximum output power per TRX is 60 W when the
S1 or S2 configuration is used. If the output power of 60 W is required, the corresponding power
license must be purchased.
 Factors such as the inter-site distance, frequency reuse factor, power control algorithm, and traffic
model affect the gains of dynamic power allocation. In most cases, network plans are designed based
on the power specifications using dynamic power allocation.
 When the power sharing function is used:
 Assume that UEs in a cell are randomly distributed.
 Power sharing requires the DTX and power control functions. In GBSS8.1, the dynamic power
sharing feature is mutually exclusive with the GBFD-113201 Concentric Cell, GBFD-114501
Co-BCCH Cell, GBFD-118001 BCCH Dense Frequency Multiplexing, and GBFD-117501
Enhanced Measurement Report (EMR) features. In GBSS9.0 and later versions, the dynamic power
sharing feature can be used together with these features. However, the dynamic power sharing
feature currently cannot be used together with the GBFD-117002 IBCA (Interference Based Channel
Allocation), GBFD-117001 Flex MAIO, GBFD-118701 RAN Sharing, and GBFD-114001 Extended
Cell features in GBSS8.1, GBSS9.0, and later versions.
