1800Re-farming to LTE

[raid75]

Gents,

we are going to cut 10Mhz from the existing 1800 band and left 7Mhz only for GSM so if 1800 band carrying about 40% of GSM traffic what the drawback of the 1800 refarming on GSM 1800 and what the good way to study the imapct of 1800 refarming.

If all is well with the frequency re-assignment, monitor the network performance stats (i.e. accessibility, handover, interference, utilization counters) and compare with previous network performance before the re-farming. Draw back: reduced frequency spectrum means higher chance of the occurence of internal interference.
