Carrier Aggregation & Dual Carrier (Split Mode) Configuration Guide
The
BTS Setting > Carrier Setting
sub-menu is used only in the two-carrier Nova846 eNB as shown
in Figure 3-21. Click the arrow in the
Carrier Mode
field to view the drop-down menu. You can set
the eNB to run as a single carrier, as two combined carriers using CA, or as two independent carriers
using Dual Carrier (DC)/split mode, depending on which licenses you have purchased. Single carrier
(no CA) means only Cell 1 operates, and it uses only two RF ports instead of four. Operators may
need to use this mode if they have limited spectrum or are planning to change to CA or DC mode
at a later time when more capacity is needed for the coverage area.
If you set the
Carrier Mode
to
Dual Carrier
, you have the option to enable the CA mode by clicking
the
Carrier Aggregation Enabled
checkbox (not shown in Figure 3-21). If you want to use DC mode,
do not click the
Carrier Aggregation Enabled
checkbox.
Whenever you change the carrier setting, you must
reboot
the eNB for the change to take effect.
