Sector Status Panel
Sector Status Panel
The sector level information is shown here. There is nothing that can be changed for an active
sector. The parameters are set before the base station is activated and are duplicated for each
HSU in the sector.

The last two items are of special interest: The Status (shown as Active) indicates whether the
HBS has been activated or not. The Time Slots bars indicate how many out of 63 time slots in
uplink and downlink directions, have been allocated to HSUs. Allocation of time slots
between HSUs provides a basic form of prioritization between them. Normally you would not
leave unallocated time slots unless you intended to add more HSUs. Every HSU requires at
least one time slot. Time slot allocation is closely related to SBM performance detailed in
Chapter 10.
Base Station Panel
The displayed items in the Base Station panel are straight forward.
Figure 5‐21: Base Station detail Panel
The Tx Ratio shows the allocation of throughput between downlink and uplink traffic at the
HBS. Here it is set to 70% downlink and 30% uplink. The Tx Ratio is not only sector‐wide: If
you use HSS (Chapter 13 ‐ Chapter 15) to collocated several HBSs (to cover adjacent sectors),
they must all use the same Tx Ratio.
