Additional Information
Communication Components Inc. PCS 20W CDMA Cell Extender
The Cell Extender is designed to enhance both uplink and downlink limited applications and
will boost the performance of the BTS to increase the overall coverage area of the site.
There are four major applications for CDMA Cell Extenders:
1. Sector MOU Enhancement– Typically for fringe sectors with low traffic. The goal is cover-
age/traffic/MOU increase by increasing footprint and low capacity site substitution by using Cell
Extenders in the corresponding sectors of neighboring sites.
2. RSSI and Soft/Hard Hand-Off Enhancement– When signal in overlapping areas is too
weak for reliable hand-off, the Cell Extender is installed on two opposing sectors for improved
RSSI in the hand-off area. Dropped calls can also be improved in crossed terrain sectors.
3. In-Building and Outdoor High Speed 3G-Data Enhancement- Increased downlink power
and uplink sensitivity results in higher data rate throughput.
4. Forward Power Blocking (FPB) or Automatic Level Control (ALC) Mode Reduction-
Using Cell Extenders with proper Pilot/Traffic channel power partitioning and sector parameter
settings can significantly decrease the FPB without reducing traffic. This approach can delay
and, in some cases, eliminate the implementation of second carriers (F2).
