 Overview

Background With the development of MBB services, servi ces, LTE LTE FDD multi-sector solutions are introduced to improve capacity without adding carriers or sites. During the evolution from LTE LTE FDD to NR FDD, LTE LTE FDD multi-sector solutions evolve to NR FDD multi-sector solutions through software upgrade without changing network hardware connections.

 Application Scenarios NR FDD multi-sector solutions apply to the same scenarios as LTE FDD multisector solutions, as the former is evolved from the latter latter.. The solutions are mainly used in densely populated urban areas. The application scenarios include capacity expansion in urban areas and xMbps improvement in urban areas. ●

Ca Capa paci city ty exp expan ansi sion on in ur urba ban n ar areas eas In densely populated urban areas, a large number of UEs access the network, causing network congestion. As a result, user experience is poor and operators' revenues are afected. afected. In  In this case, multi-sector reconstruction is required on congested sites to improve capacity.

●

xMbp xMbpss iimp mpro rove veme ment nt in ur urba ban n ar areas eas In densely populated urban areas, there are a large number of UEs but insucient air insucient  air interface resources. As a result, user experience is poor poor.. In this case, multi-sector solutions are required to add air interface resources and increase UE throughput.

 Multi-Sector Evolution

4.1 Principles Multi-sector solutions include 2T6S and 4T6S. 2T6S is used to split the original sectors of a base station into four to six 2T sectors, and 4T6S is used to split the original sectors of a base station into four to six 4T sectors. Figure 4-1 provides 4-1 provides an example, where the original sectors are split into six sectors. Figure 4-1 Multi-sector 4-1 Multi-sector split

Based on the RAT and frequency band, multi-sector solutions can be deployed in the following scenarios. For details about deployment requirements, see 4.4.2 NR Scenarios,, 4.4.3 LN Scenario Scenarios Scenario,, and 4.4.4 GLN/ULN Scenarios Scenarios.. ●

Benets Multi-sector solutions increase the user-perceived user-perceived rate and spectral eciency. eciency. T  To o achieve the best benets benets of  of multi-sector solutions, adhere to the following principles when selecting a site: ●

The aver average age phys physical ical reso resour urce ce block block (PRB) (PRB) usag usage e in busy busy hours hours is grea greater ter than than or equal to 70%, and the capacity expansion requirements requirements of customers are met.

●

UEs in in the the new over overlap lappin ping g area area after after the the split split acco account unt for for no more more than than 20% of all UEs in the entire area.

●

UEs are are even evenly ly distr distribu ibuted ted in in left left and righ rightt beams. beams. UEs UEs in the the left left or right right beam account for 30% to 70% of all UEs.

●

The diference diference between  between the to-be-split sector azimuth and its adjacent sector azimuth is greater than or equal to 90 degrees.

●

High-sp High-speed eed ra railw ilway ay and and highw highway ay scena scenario rioss sh shoul ould d be avoi avoided ded..

In multi-carrier co-antenna scenarios, preferentially preferentially consider whether the primary carrier (which carries main services, such as the 1800 MHz carrier) meets the deployment requirements and then consider other carriers (such as the 2100 2 100 MHz carrier). If all carriers c arriers meet the requirements, multi-sector solutions can be used. If  a carrier does not meet the requirements, the expected benets benets may  may not be achieved. 4T6S ofers ofers the  the gains of 4T4R 4 T4R compared with 2T6S. Therefore, 4T6S is recommended and preferred preferred for customers with high rate and capacit capacity y requirements. Assuming that one sector is split into two sectors, compare the one pre-split sector and the two post-split sectors for gain analysis. For details about the gains provided by multi-sector solutions in diferent diferent scenarios,  scenarios, contact Huawei to evaluate the gains based on actual network conditions.

4.2.2 Impacts If the single-channel power after the reconstruction is the same as that before the reconstruction, network KPIs remain stable and the number of users increases slightly.

4.3 Site Survey Site survey for multi-sector deployment is similar to common site survey, survey, including hardware equipment survey and RF parameter planning. ●

Hardw Hardware are equi equipme pment nt survey survey invol involves ves the the baseban baseband d proces processin sing g unit (B (BBP) BP) model, RF module model, antenna model, antenna connection, and feeder connection. In multi-sector deployment, check whether sucient sucient space  space is reserved between the multi-beam antenna and the adjacent antennas to prevent obstacles and whether the bearing capacity of the pole can meet the requirements.

●

RF parame parameter terss that requ require ire plan plannin ning g include include anten antenna na locatio location, n, longit longitude ude,, latitude, model, azimuth, mechanical downtilt angle, electrical downtilt angle, and height.

Photographing Photograph ing Method To ensure that the antenna azimuth and downtilt angle are consistent before and after the reconstruction, take photos during site survey. In addition, you are advised to take photos of the coverage area for future problem analysis. The following describes how to take photos. ●

Azim Azimu uth pho hoto togr grap aphi hing ng Use an azimuth test instrument i nstrument to measure the azimuth. It is recommended that the instrument be about 20 cm apart from the antenna and be vertical to the antenna backplane to avoid interference to the pointer pointer.. In this case, the data displayed on the indicator is the antenna azimuth.

●

Mech Mechan anica icall down downtil tiltt ang angle le p pho hoto togr grap aphi hing ng Use a downtilt angle test instrument to measure the mechanical downtilt angle. Ensure that the instrument is attached to the antenna backplane. In this case, the data displayed on the indicator is the antenna downtilt angle or its supplementary angle.

4.4.5.3 PCI Planning Principles For new cells, physical cell identier identier (PCI)  (PCI) planning is the same as that for three common sectors. For the original cells, PCI planning should ensure that PCIs mod 3 do not conict conict with  with each other.
