Key Radio Technologies Requirements

System to be 20MHz capable 2G/3G: Multi-TRX / Multi-Carrier 16e: currently main focus on mandatory 5/10MHz, 20MHz optional LTE: 20MHz mandatory (+scalability) System Requirements Radio Unit: wide broadband RF technologies, 20MHz support Baseband Unit: 20MHz processing capability
high transmission power required

System Gain (dB) = EIRP (dBm) RX Sensitivity composite (dBm) + Antenna Configuration Gain (dB) + Cyclic Combining Gain (dB)

Wider channel size, lower sensitivity

advanced antenna required

More transmission power needed: high efficiency Power Amplifier Advanced multiple antenna technologies for additional gain
