Can HPUE be used on bands 25 and 26?

Hello,

 

Probably a stupid question but I'll ask anyway:  The HPUE technology that Sprint will be adding to band 41 appears to be a great way to increase signal penetration and distance.

 

My question:  Can these same techniques/methods also be applied to the other Sprint bands, 25 and 26, to help increase the signal penetration and distance of those bands?

 

Thanks for the explanation!

Not unless the 3GPP changes the specs for those bands which it just did for band 41.

Doesn't that have to change for Sprint to do B25 Carrier aggregation which will happen at some point. So they could do that upgrade at the same time.

Nope. HPUE is a power class change from 3 to 2 for B41 (only). It allows phones' transmit power to be increased from 23dBm to 26dBm.

 

Generally, B41 uplink fails long before B41 downlink. For example, in my house, on a -124 B41 signal, I can pull a solid 20-25 mbps on the downlink but uploads will often time out or fail. HPUE will address this problem by making B41 usable down to lower signal levels, thus effectively increasing its range.

 

HPUE doesn't have any effect on other bands or carrier aggregation.

Well I it's most important for B41 anyway B25 and 26 have good enough signals.

Wonder if all phones will support HPUE flagship or midrange.

Like most of these new technologies, they seem to start off with higher end phones and then will make their way down the line.

I think he means that theoretically Band 25 has approximately 90% of the range of Band 2/4.

No. He means that HPUE devices will enable B41 to theoretically perform almost as well as B25 both outdoors and indoors.

 

But ~90% is the optimistic number. Once HPUE devices are released into the wild, we will likely not see that type of performance. Nothing ever works as advertised.

The 90% is the indoor estimate, 99% is the outdoor estimate for b41 with hpue compared to b25. B25 and b26 are limited by 3g being in those bands and interference issues.

That is what I thought. Thanks!

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
