 SPECTRUM & COVERAGE FOR LAYERING APPROACH
• L2300 suitable for capacity densification with less
L2300_20 (7) -5 dB coverage thus it should define as highest layer to grab
traffic aggressively
• Existing L1800 has higher capacity and wider coverage
L2300_10 (5) -5 dB thus it should defined as 2nd highest priority
• L2100 has limited bandwidth and limited coverage, it
should define as less priority than L1800 to maintain
L1800_15 (6)
2 dB end user experience.
• L900 has wider coverage but it
L2100_5 (4) only has 5 MHz bandwidth with
9 dB limited capacity, thus it should
define as last priority.
