DaQue Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I trying to figure out how much mire data a full 3 band lte site would be compared to 3g. 800/1900 Lte what 12x each over evdo? 24x for the td-lte? That would be 1+12+12+24 or 49x what I am used to. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koiulpoi Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Maximum bandwidth of a single EV-DO carrier is ~3.2 Mbps. Three sectors/carrier makes that ~9.6 Mbps. Maximum bandwidth of a single 5x5 FDD-LTE carrier is ~37 Mbps. Three sectors/carrier makes that ~111 Mbps. Multiply that by two (as Sprint has a 5x5 on 1900 MHz PCS G Block and a 5x5 on 800 ESMR), to get ~222 Mbps. I have no idea what the bandwidth of a 20 MHz 3:2 TDD-LTE carrier is. Someone else will have to answer that (so I can memorize the answer and how the math works). It's difficult to assign a "multiplier" to this, as different cell sites have differing numbers of EV-DO carriers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefbal99 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Don't forget to add in a bit for the voice carriers Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I covered the basic 20 MHz TDD math a few weeks ago in this post: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4083-sprint-td-lte-25002600mhz-discussion/?p=158089 AJ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I covered the basic 20 MHz TDD math a few weeks ago in this post: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4083-sprint-td-lte-25002600mhz-discussion/?p=158089 AJ Aha! Exactly what I needed. So ~222 Mbps + (90 Mbps) * 3 [we're still splitting in to three sectors, right?] = ~492 Mbps. So that's ~51.2 times more bandwidth than a single EV-DO carrier. Edit: I suppose I should update my math for proper sigfigs. (37.5) * 3 * 2 + (90.0) * 3 = 495, or ~51.6 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we know that never occurs in the real world. AJ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Wireless nerd porn? So, what could we expect for "reliable" backhaul to tri-band Sprint sites? We're still short of 500 Mbps, even with all that, and there's almost never a situation where, like you said, you can get maximum speed on everything at once. So 400 Mbps? I couldn't even begin to estimate. Apparently 100 Mbps is good enough for a 5x5 + EV-DO + 1X. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't have EVDO and 1xA traffic in there, so toss on a few more Mbps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koiulpoi Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Still don't have EVDO and 1xA traffic in there, so toss on a few more Mbps Well, the original question was how many times over "3G EV-DO", which as I pointed out early, is difficult to figure out, as sites have differing numbers of EV-DO carriers. So, I just calculated LTE compared to a single EV-DO carrier. 1X and 1XA aren't going to change that number much, maybe not even within a sigfig - and again, different sites may have different number of 1X 1900 carriers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
