6.6.3.4 RF Path
In the RF Path phase, up to three groups of services (Sectors) can be configured, where each sector consists of a number of
services (RIM). A RIM can belong to any or all of the sectors at the same time and each OIM module can then be assigned one
or more of the sectors in any combination. (The same RIM service cannot be allocated to the same OIM in multiple sectors). The
RAU modules hosted by each OIM distributed the services routed by the host OIM.
NOTE: In the GUI, Sectors are referred to as Layers (Layer-1, Layer-2 and Layer-3).
The following block diagram illustrates an example of three configured RF Paths (Layers):
• Sector 1 - consists of Service A and is routed only to OIM #4 to the hosted RAU modules. See example of configuration via
GUI in RAU Configuration – section 7.4.
• Sector 2 – consists of Service A and B and is routed to OIM#5 and to OIM #6, to the hosted RAU modules
• Sector 3 – consists of Service A, B, C and D and is routed to OIM #6, to the hosted RAU modules
NOTE: RIMs and OIMs can be assigned to Layers in any combination.
