Is there a maximum separation in Mhz for ARFCNs on one BTS?
Hi all, Would somebody who is familiar with the relevant part of the GSM spec be able to comment? I'm wondering if there's any issue in GSM running a dual TRX BTS with two ARFCNs on opposite ends of the band? For example, in GSM850, this would mean the downlinks could be on 869.2 and 893.8 Mhz so the phone could have to tune across a wider range between the SDCCH and TCH for example. Thanks!

There shouldn't be any issue, you can have it anywhere you want. Imagine you had frequency hopping, then the phone would have to hop all over the band, not only during channel assignment but between _every_ burst it transmits. -- - Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
