Question

On EE in the UK with access to band 20. Band 3 in the area is saturated with a -6dB SINR but band 20 on my local cell I can get +6dB!

EE push you to use aggregation on band 20, with 1617 as main and 1761 as secondary. Same PCI. If I use common/4g to lock to my local favourite cell (PCI 168) on 6225 then it connects, but when it tries to aggregate with 1761 it fails and resets. I imagine this is because the NWLOCK restricts it to the frequency I locked it to. I then tried:

AT+QNWLOCK=\"common/4g\",2,6225,168,1761,168

To allow it both frequencies, but this also goes into a cycle of resets. Even with 1761 and 1617 which I know work as a CA pair (left in automatic this happens by default) in NWLOCK it doesn't work.

To lock onto my local cell in band 20 I use common/lte which works fine but doesn't support CA.

Is there a way I can lock the primary cell and then allow the secondary cell to work for CA? At the moment I can't see a way.

Thanks,

James

Hello,

Try using:

> AT+QNWLOCK="common/lte"

Command.

Also, you can try using these commands as example:

> “AT+QNWLOCK=“common/lte”,1,1749,0”
> “AT+QNWLOCK=“common/lte”,2,1749,226”
> “AT+QCAINFO”
> "AT+QENG=“neighbourcell”

This commands should allow you to lock to bands.
