MBMS—IP Multicast/Broadcast in 3G Networks

Table 4

MBMS capacity and spectrum efficiency achieved by SFN operation (using 90% of the cell power) for receivers of Type-2 (implementing G-RAKE or equivalent techniques) and Type-3 (like Type-2 plus implementing antenna diversity).

Receiver	Receiver capable of equalizing signals from 3 NodeBs	Receiver capable of equalizing signals from 7 NodeBs
Type-2	1.54 Mbps	2.62 Mbps
	0.31 b/s/Hz	0.53 b/s/Hz
Type-3	3.01 Mbps	5.38 Mbps
	0.60 b/s/Hz	1.08 b/s/Hz
