RF carrier allocation
NSN recommendations
• A frequency re-use pattern of 1 should be used for LTE
• Indoor solutions and micro cells should be allocated the same RF carrier as the
macro cell network.
Background
LTE has been designed to use channel bandwidths of 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz. RF
carrier allocation involves identifying the center frequencies for the RF channels serving
an eNode B. In general, operators are limited by the quantity of spectrum allocated by
the national regulator. For example, a 15 MHZ spectrum may be allocated to an operator
for LTE. The operator has to decide whether to deploy LTE with a narrow channel bandwidth
and an increased frequency re-use pattern, or a wide channel bandwidth and a
decreased frequency re-use pattern. These two strategies are illustrated in Figure
45 Example RF carrier allocation strategies[1].

The first strategy is based upon a re-use pattern of 3. This allows each cell to achieve
relatively high SINR because levels of intercell interference are reduced by the frequency
domain isolation. However, each cell is limited to 1/3 of the total allocated
spectrum so the peak throughputs are limited. The second strategy is based upon a reuse
pattern of 1, which results in increased levels of intercell interference but allows
each cell to use the full allocated spectrum. Simulations have shown that the spectrum
efficiency of the second strategy is significantly greater than that of the first strategy[1].
