Base station boost power module

How AI-powered AirScale base stations improve ran performance?

AI-powered AirScale base stations optimize RAN performance, leveraging Nokia ReefShark SoCs with advanced AI engines for intelligent network enhancements. AI-ready and future-proof, the AirScale base station is designed to integrate seamlessly with evolving AI capabilities.

How can SSB power be increased?

Since SSB is transmitted over a subset of PRBs (20 PRBs), its power can be increased by borrowing power from other PDSCH PRBs, while ensuring the total transmit power of the gNB remains within the configured maximum transmission limit. This results in higher UE-measured RSRP and extended NR coverage.

Why do pdsch PRBs boost SSB power?

This is because boosting SSB power involves reallocating power from other PDSCH PRBs while ensuring that the total transmit power of the gNB stays within the configured maximum transmission limit. (This will be explained in detail in Section 4: SSB Power below)

What is a modular AirScale system module?

The modular AirScale System Module enables a lean, scalable approach, decoupling computing power for radio access network (RAN) layers 1, 2 and 3, alongside integrated transport functionality. This flexibility is crucial for adapting to evolving 5G use cases and traffic demands.

Does boosting SSB power affect throughput?

Important Note: Increasing the SSB power may improve coverage but can negatively impact throughput. This is because boosting SSB power involves reallocating power from other PDSCH PRBs while ensuring that the total transmit power of the gNB stays within the configured maximum transmission limit.
