Hi Experts.

What are the impacts and benefits for changing cell from 4T4R to 2T4R?

What are the impacts and benefits for changing cell from 4T4R to 2T4R

Tx diversity gain.

3

Seeing significant increase in number of failure and drops as well, is it expected?

4

Yes, because of the decrease of Txs.

Because of the decrease of the Mimo gain, you are passing from 4 to 2 TX.

It represents less capacity,

5

Change from 4T to 2T will increase coverage footprint by 3 dB, right?

If coverage footprint increase by 3 dB, increasing rspower would be better solution than changing from 4T to 2T?

6

I think so, all depends on your RF enviroment.

Power saving with the cost of DL performance deterioration due to MRC / diversity.

And Throughput deterioration due to 4 → 2 layers.
