DesigningforCapacityGrowth
FusionWidebandsystemsaredeployedtoenhancein‐buildingcoverageand/ortooff‐load
capacityfromamacrocellsite.Inmanyinstances,subscriberusageincreaseswithtimeandthe
wirelessproviderrespondsbyincreasingtheloadontheinstalledFusionWidebandsystem.For
example,theinitialdeploymentmightonlyrequiretwoRFcarriers,butfourRFcarriersmaybe
neededinthefuturebasedoncapacitygrowthforecasts.Therearetwooptionsfordealingwith
thisscenario:
1 De
signtheinitialcoveragewithamaximumpowerpercarrierforfourRFcarriers.Thiswill
likelyresultinadditionalRAUs.
2 De
signtheinitialcoveragefortwoRFcarriers,butreserveRAUportsontheHubforfuture
use.Theseportscanbeusedtofillpotentialcoverageholesoncethepowerpercarrieris
loweredtoaccommodatethetwoadditionalcarriers.
