NOTE

● The Typical Power Configurations document includes the configurable carrier

combinations and the output power of each carrier in each combination. Before
referring to this document, you must be familiar with the output power configuration
rules. For details, see 4 RF Output Power Configuration Rules.
● Each value of Output Power per Carrier (W) in the Typical Power Configurations
document indicates the maximum output power of each carrier under the
corresponding configuration while ensuring the network performance. The actually
configured carrier power of RF modules can be less than or equal to the value of
Output Power per Carrier (W) in the document. The power configuration that is not
supported in the document may be configurable on the software. Huawei can only
promise the performance with the power configurations listed in the document.

● RRU3826 modules of
other BOM codes
support 1.25 Gbit/s
and 2.5 Gbit/s.

The maximum level of cascading between an RRU and a BBU depends on the
cascading capability of the RRU working in different RATs and the bandwidth
resources of the CPRI ports on the BBU side. The following table provides the
maximum level of cascading and maximum distance between an RRU and a BBU
when the RRU works in a single mode. When the RRU works in multimode
concurrency scenarios, the maximum level of cascading and maximum distance
between the multimode RRU and a BBU are determined by the capabilities for the
mode with the lowest capabilities.

4 RF Output Power Configuration Rules

This chapter describes the rules for configuring RF output power.

General Rules
● For an nT RF module (n is 2, 4, or 8), the restriction is as follows:

, where PAi indicates the number of carriers of transmit

channel i; Pi indicates the output power of each carrier of transmit channel i;
PAt indicates the total number of carriers configured in this RF module; P
indicates the maximum output power supported by each carrier.
● The output power is 1 dB less than the standard power when an RF module is
located at a height of 3500 m (11482.80 ft.) to 4500 m (14763.60 ft.); and is
2 dB less than the standard power when the RF module is located at a height
of 4500 m (14763.60 ft.) to 6000 m (19684.80 ft.).

UMTS Output Power Configuration Rules

The standard bandwidth per UMTS carrier is 5 MHz.
