2.2.1 Using LGCell to Increase Coverage and Capacity

You can extend the outdoor, macrocellular network indoors by connecting the

LGCell system to a repeater that is attached to a roof-top antenna. The following fig-

ure illustrates how the LGCell can be used to enhance in-building coverage.

Figure 2-3 Increasing Coverage with LGCell

You can increase the number of users who are able to communicate through their

wireless handheld devices by connecting an LGCell system to a local, centralized

base station. In this configuration, the base station provides voice channel capacity

and the LGCell provides coverage.
