Hi All.

Does most of the LTE handsets supports 4T4R FDD?

Check this:

In LTE category filter - is it UE category?

Nope.

Cat 6 still majority in India at least.

5G handset should be 2x2 and 4x4.

5

Not necessarily.

The contribution of 4T4R supported handsets are far less in comparison with 2T2R compatible handset.

In your network you can compare it by making a simple formula:

(sum of MIMO rank 3 and rank 4)
/
(all rank samples)

By virtue of this you can check correct standings.

6

Any counters available for Nokia?

7

You can search it by rank.

Moreover, all handset which are in CAT 5 and beyond it are supported 4T4R MIMO.

8

4T4R TDD also?

For Nokia, you can check Rank Indicator used by the UE with the following counters:

Counter ID NetAct Name
M8010C112 UE_REPORTED_RI_1
M8010C113 UE_REPORTED_RI_2
M8010C114 UE_REPORTED_RI_4
M8010C115 UE_REPORTED_RI_3

Also on the Reporting Suite, you can use the report RSLTE020 to check MIMO usage.

In band higher 1500 MHz, UE can support 4 layers.

But in lower band, just 2 layers max.

Is this applicable for both FDD and TDD or handset availability is more for 4T4R TDD than FDD?
