Cell Broadcast 2 Overview

Ltd.

2 Overview
The Short Message Service Cell Broadcast (SMSCB), cell broadcast service (CBS) for short, refers to
the information broadcast service for the MSs in the idle state within a specified area known as the cell
broadcast area.

The cell broadcast area may be comprised of one or more cells, or may be comprised of the entire PLMN. Individual cell
broadcast messages will be assigned their own geographical coverage areas by mutual agreement between the
information provider and the telecom operator.
Similar to the point-to-point short message service, the cell broadcast service is a method of sending the
text message to the MS. The differences between the point-to-point short message service and the cell
broadcast service are as follows:
The point-to-point short message service sends the short message to a specified MS, whereas the cell
broadcast service broadcasts the cell broadcast message to all the MSs in the idle state within the cell
broadcast area.
The point-to-point short message service requires the response from the MS, whereas the cell
broadcast service requires no response from the MS.
The point-to-point short message service is bi-directional and can be sent by both the network and the
MS, whereas the cell broadcast service is unidirectional and can only be sent by the network.
In the point-to-point short message service, the message is initiatively sent by the network; in the cell
broadcast service, the cell broadcast message is broadcast by the network on the CBCH, and the MS
is scheduled to receive the message on the CBCH at a fixed time.
The cell broadcast service provides a message broadcasting mechanism in which the cell broadcast
message is broadcast to the MSs within the cell broadcast area. The MS need not respond to the cell
broadcast message. Through this mechanism, the telecom operators can provide some feature services,
such as weather information, road traffic information, and social commonweal information, for the users.
In addition, the cell broadcast service can broadcast data for other services. When the Assisted-GPS
(A-GPS) location service is performed, for example, the BSC sends the location information to the MS
through the cell broadcast service. The cell broadcast service can also provide the Over The Air (OTA)
download service. Using fewer resources, these functions of the cell broadcast service can provide
information for the MSs, thus significantly conserving the radio resources.
To implement the cell broadcast service on the GSM network, the existing functional units on the GSM
network should be modified, and new network functional units should be added. The cell broadcast
system consists of the CBE, CBC, BSC, BTS, and MS, as shown in Figure 2-1.

Cell Broadcast 2 Overview

Ltd.

Figure 2-1 Structure of the cell broadcast system

The CBE acts as a bridge between the source of the message and the GSM network. It is responsible for
the input, encoding, and formatting of the cell broadcast message. The CBC is the scheduling center of
the cell broadcast service. The CBC collects the formatted cell broadcast messages from the CBE,
stores them, and then transmits the messages to the specified BSC according to the scheduling
information for the cell broadcast message. In addition, the CBC is also responsible for the management
of the cell broadcast messages being broadcast by the BSC, including the deletion of the out-dated
message and the query of the status of the cell and of the cell broadcast message being broadcast.
The BSC is responsible for the scheduling and maintenance of the cell broadcast messages being
broadcast. In addition, the BSC is also responsible for the maintenance of the CBCH status. The BTS is
responsible for the scheduling of the cell broadcast messages over the Um interface. The MS is
responsible for the receiving and displaying of the cell broadcast message.
To reduce the cost, increase the integration of the BSC, and improve maintainability, the BSC provides a
simple cell broadcast system. The simple cell broadcast system is integrated into the BSC. You can
enter the cell broadcast information through the data configuration or MML command. Then, the BSC
schedules this cell broadcast information to achieve the cell broadcast function. The information type is
either text or binary command. Figure 2-2 shows the structure of the simple cell broadcast system.

Cell Broadcast 3 Technical Principle

Ltd.
3-1

3 Technical Principle
To implement cell broadcast, you should configure one CBCH in the cell. The CBCH is a logical channel.
It shares a physical channel with the SDCCH. Thus, the configuration mode of the CBCH can be as
follows:
SDCCH/8+CBCH: This configuration mode is generally used in cells that require non-combined
BCCH.
BCCH+CCCH+SDCCH/4+CBCH: This configuration mode is generally used in cells that require
combined BCCH.
To configure SDCCH/8+CBCH, set CHTYPE to SDCCH+CBCH; to configure
BCCH+CCCH+SDCCH/4+CBCH, set CHTYPE to BCCH+CBCH.

Before setting CHTYPE to SDCCH+CBCH, you should also set BSAGBLKSRES to a value other than zero. If
BSAGBLKSRES is set to zero, the MS need stop listening to the PCH in order to receive the cell broadcast message on
the CBCH. This act, however, may lead to the missing of the paging message on the PCH if there is a paging message for
the MS. If BSAGBLKSRES is set to a value other than zero, the MS can receive the cell broadcast message on the
CBCH during the scheduling period of the AGCH, and thus the MS does not miss any paging message. You need not set
BSAGBLKSRES to a value other than zero before setting CHTYPE to BCCH+CBCH.
The SDCCH+CBCH can only be configured on a timeslot from TS0 to TS3 of the carrier. The BCCH+CBCH can only be
configured on TS0 of the carrier.
If the CBCH is configured on a timeslot that joins in FH, a maximum of only 32 frequencies configured on this timeslot can
join in FH due to the restriction of the coding scheme.
The MS can obtain the information about the CBCH configured in the cell from System Information 4
broadcast on the BCCH. Then, the MS can receive the cell broadcast message on the specified CBCH
at a fixed time.
The BSC sends a cell broadcast message to the BTS through the SMS BROADCAST COMMAND
message. The BTS, then, fragments the message into four and broadcasts them one by one over the
Um interface on the CBCH, as shown in Figure 3-1.

To decrease the power consumption of the MS, the Discontinuous Reception (DRX) function is
introduced in the cell broadcast service. After the DRX function is enabled, the BSC always sends a
GSM BSS
Cell Broadcast 3 Technical Principle

scheduling message before sending the formal cell broadcast message. The scheduling message
describes the message to be broadcast on the CBCH. Depending on the scheduling message received,
the MS determines the cell broadcast message in which the MS is interested and the specific time to
receive it. The MS does not receive the cell broadcast message in which the MS is not interested. To
enable the DRX function, you should first set DRXEN to Yes. Then, the CBC can send the scheduling
message through the SET DRX primitive.

The simple cell broadcast service does not support the DRX function.
GSM BSS
Cell Broadcast 4 Cell Broadcast Messages

Ltd.
4-1

4 Cell Broadcast Messages
Cell broadcast messages are comprised of pages. A cell broadcast message may contain up to 15
pages. Each page is comprised of 82 octets.
The number of characters contained in each page of the cell broadcast message depends on the coding
scheme adopted.
When the cell broadcast message adopts the 7-bit coding scheme, a page of the cell broadcast
message may contain up to 93 English characters.
When the cell broadcast message adopts the UCS-2 coding scheme, a page of the cell broadcast
message may contain up to 41 characters as each character takes up two octets.
The coding scheme is broadcast to the MS through the cell broadcast message.
The cell broadcast message uses the Message Identifier to indicate the different sources of the message,
such as the weather information and A-GPS location information. The MS can subscribe to the cell
broadcast message of a particular Message Identifier. The subscription information is stored on the
Subscriber Identity Module (SIM). For the cost-free cell broadcast messages, users can configure
whether to receive them on the MS. The charging cell broadcast messages, however, should be set on
the SIM by the telecom operator after the signing of the service subscription agreement.
When broadcasting the cell broadcast message, the BTS incorporates the Message Identifier to the first
fragment of the cell broadcast message. The MS, after receiving the first fragment, extracts the Message
Identifier and compares it with that in the subscription information stored on the SIM. If the Message
Identifier is the same as that in the subscription information, it indicates that the user subscribes to the
message. In this case, the MS continues to receive the other three fragments.
During cell broadcast, a cell broadcast message is repeatedly broadcast over the Um interface to ensure
that the MS that recently camps on the cell can receive the message. The repeated broadcast of a cell
broadcast message, however, causes the MS camping on the cell to receive the cell broadcast message
for multiple times. To prevent this situation, the Serial Number is used in the cell broadcast message.
The MS determines whether a cell broadcast message is a new message based on the Serial Number of
the message. If the cell broadcast message is the same as the one the MS received, the MS will not
receive this cell broadcast message. The Serial Number is also carried in the first fragment of the cell
broadcast message.

Cell Broadcast 5 Standard Cell Broadcast

Ltd.
5-1

5 Standard Cell Broadcast
When SpprtCB is set to Support Standard Cell Broadcast, the BSC provides the standard cell
broadcast service. In this case, you should specify the CBC information for the connection between the
BSC and the CBC. The CBC information to be specified includes CONNTYPE, BSCIP, BSCPORT,
BSCGATEWAYIP, CBCITFPARA, CBCIP, CBCPORT, and MASK. Among them, CBCITFPARA is used
for interface adaptation when the BSC is connected to the CBC of a different vendor. (GBFD-113601
Short Message Service Cell Broadcast (TS23))
A functional BSC is connected to the CBC. Then, the BSC starts to process the primitives sent from the
CBC. The main tasks performed by the BSC are as follows:
Schedules a cell broadcast message or broadcasts a cell broadcast message to the specified cell as
indicated by the Write-Replace primitive.
Deletes the cell broadcast messages that are being processed or that have been processed by the
BSC as indicated by the Kill primitive.
Responds to the cell status query primitive and message status query primitive from the CBC.
Responds to the SET DRX primitive, and generates and broadcasts the scheduling messages.
Informs the CBC of the cell status after the status of a cell is changed.
Deletes the cell broadcast message that is being broadcast in a cell as indicated by the Reset
primitive.
The standard cell broadcast service is able to collect and schedule a great number of cell broadcast
messages. Thus, the standard cell broadcast service is recommended.
GSM BSS
Cell Broadcast 6 Simple Cell Broadcast

Ltd.
6-1

6 Simple Cell Broadcast
The simple cell broadcast provides the simple cell broadcast service without the CBC system. The
broadcast information includes the cell name, weather information, and social commonweal information.
To enable the simple cell broadcast service, you should set SpprtCB to SPPRTSIMPLE(Support
Simple CB). (GBFD-113602 Simplified Cell Broadcast)
The simple cell broadcast message type is text and binary
The simple cell broadcast provides two types of functions: cell name broadcast and cell broadcast.
The cell name broadcast enables the BSC to send a one-page-long text message to the MSs in a cell
under the BSC. The text message contains the cell name. Thus, when a roaming MS enters a new cell
where the simple cell broadcast function is enabled, the MS can obtain and display the cell name. This
function equates to the simple location service. The BSC will keep sending the one-page-long message,
but MS users can disable this function on the MS to stop the receiving of this message. To enable the
cell name broadcast function, you should first set SUPPORTCELLBROADCAST to Yes and then
specify parameters such as BROADCASTCONTENT (this parameter is set to the cell name by default),
GS, CHANID, SCHEME, and INT.
You can also run the ADD GSMSCB command to send a cell broadcast message to the BSC. If you
send the cell broadcast message in such a way, you should specify ST and ET of the period during
which the cell broadcast message is broadcast. The maximum size of the cell broadcast message that
can be sent through the MML command is 15 pages. A cell can save a maximum of 63 pages of cell
broadcast messages.
In addition, you can run the DSP GSMSCB command to query the cell broadcast messages saved in a
cell; you can also run the RMV GSMSCB command to stop the broadcast of a cell broadcast message.

The simple cell broadcast cannot be used with the cell broadcast provided by the CBC. They are
mutually exclusive.
The simple cell broadcast provides only simple cell broadcast services. The standard cell broadcast
system is recommended for the dynamic information that is frequently changed.

The BCCHs in a cell need to
be configured according to
the number of channels in
the cell and the paging
capacity in the location area.

The main and combined
BCCHs shall always be
configured in timeslot 0. An
extended BCCH can be
configured only in timeslot 2,
4, or 6. If an extended
BCCH is configured, the
CCCH parameter in the
system message data needs
to be configured
accordingly. For example, if
an extended BCCH is
configured in timeslot 2, the
CCCH parameter in the
system message data needs
to be configured as two
uncombined CCCHs.

To enable cell broadcast in a
cell, add a CBCH to a cell
that is about to support cell
broadcasting during radio
channel configuration. In the
case of SDCCH/8+CBCH
cell broadcast, set this
parameter to
SDCCH_CBCH. You can
change a TCH into
SDCCH+CBCH or the
original SDCCH into
SDCCH+CBCH. In the case
of SDCCH/4 cell broadcast,
set this parameter to
BCCH_CBCH. With the
same effect, the SDCCH/8
and SDCCH/4 cell
broadcast services serve
different network planning
requirements.

In the case of half-rate
networking, each TRX

ratio at the Abis interface is
up to 2:1.

In the case of half-rate
