Discussion Smartphones supporting Carrier aggregation

[RummaanKhan]

Because of NSA airtel N78 is stronger. In NSA entire spectrum is used for downlink. If spectrum is shared with uplink, coverage will be reduced as mital said in oct 1 launch event.

Nothing like that Ericsson N78 coverage is less than Nokia's N78 but it also needs to be connected for Beamforming and stuff to work. What mittal said is when N78 is used on NSA with FDD mid/low band as base in cell edge it can use Uplink of LTE where TDD UL fails but it doesn't increase coverage or something it's gonna be same as SA

N78 Uplink is also scheduled more in NSA than LTE. LTE DL and UL works in NSA some cases only so what mittal said is false atleast in Chennai's situation

 

[RummaanKhan]

I think after complete B40 swap they might improve its signal

B40 swap not gonna happen atleast this year. Huawei B40 is gonna remain for atleast a year cuz it offers best Capacity which any other vendor can't provide.

Oh, is there rsrp difference with and without beam forming?

In Ericsson Beamforming only speeds improve but Nokia/Huawei Beamforming Signal strength increases

Airtel upgraded B3 to 20MHz but 6RBs extra and no much gains

Still not in my site

Still not in my site

Still 15? Checked nearby sites? Some were still 15MHz only

Nearby also 15, I can check at the comfort of my home since all sites are over shooting
