Second Carrier in UMTS

Second Carrier in UMTS

When RTWP reaches the threshold (for Huawei the more you reach -85 dBm RTWP, the more you need to deploy the second carrier), when total cell power utilization has increased (i think this one is at 48%), you can add another carrier as early as possible and do some inter carrier load sharing in order to give your subs high throughput as well (since cell throughput is shared among subs) coursekec is right, increasing your carriers increases your subscriber capacity as well, so just be on the lookout regarding your node b's CE utilization.
