BCCH Dense Frequency Multiplexing
2 Overview
2 Overview
In a network where the frequency resources are limited, relatively few frequencies at the FH layer are a
capacity bottleneck. Increasing the number of frequencies at the FH layer can improve the system
capacity.
In general, the frequencies planned for a network include BCCH frequencies and TCH frequencies.
BCCH frequencies and TCH frequencies adopt different multiplexing modes. For example, the BCCH
frequencies are multiplexed in 4x3 mode, while the TCH frequencies are multiplexed in 1x3 mode. In a
network whose frequencies are limited, if the BCCH uses more frequencies, fewer frequencies are
available for the TCHs, and thus the system capacity is smaller.
BCCH dense frequency multiplexing enables the BCCHs to reuse frequencies more tightly to free more
frequencies for non-BCCH TRXs, thus increasing the system capacity.
The BCCH dense frequency multiplexing technology is applicable to the network with limited frequency
resources. It helps to increase the reusability of BCCH frequencies and reduce the number of
frequencies used by the BCCHs. Therefore, more frequencies can be used at the FH layer.
BCCH dense frequency multiplexing has the following advantages:
z
Reduces the number of frequencies occupied by the BCCHs, and improves the spectrum utilization
Increases the number of frequencies available for TCHs and for FH, expands the system capacity
without adding new hardware, and saves the costs of adding sites and cells
Assigns the TCHs on BCCH frequencies to only the MSs near the BTS, thus improving the voice
quality because of less uplink interference

3 Technical Principles
3 Technical Principles
When BCCH dense frequency multiplexing is adopted, a cell is classified into different logical layers:
TCH layer on the BCCH TRX and FH layer, as shown in Figure 3-1.
z
The FH layer serves and covers the entire network, including cell edges.
The TCH layer on the BCCH frequency, however, covers only the MSs near the BTS to guarantee call
access and to reduce interference near the BTS.

A denser frequency multiplexing pattern tends to increase the interference on the BCCH, therefore,
proper channel allocation and handover algorithms are required to allocate the TCHs on the BCCH TRX
to the MSs near the BTS. In this way, the restriction of multiplexing density on the BCCH TRX is reduced.
The BCCH dense frequency multiplexing consists of:
z
If a TCH on non-BCCH TRXs is available, the TCH is preferentially assigned to ensure access
performance.
If all the TCHs on non-BCCH TRXs are occupied, the TCH on the BCCH frequency is assigned.
During the assignment, the TCHs on the BCCH TRX are preferentially assigned if the call meets the
following conditions:
z
The uplink receive level is greater than Level Thresh for Assign BCCH Under TBCCH.

The load on the non-BCCH TRXs in the cell is higher than Load Threshold for TIGHT BCCH HO.

Recommended Scenarios
In general, the 4x3 mode is used in BCCH frequency planning to guarantee high carrier-to-interference
ratios (CIRs) between BCCH frequencies. In this mode, the BCCHs occupy 12 frequencies, thus
decreasing the number of frequencies available for frequency hopping. In a network where the
frequency resources are limited, the number of frequencies available for frequency hopping is a critical
capacity factor.
No anti-interference technology such as FH is used on BCCH frequencies. Therefore, if the 3x3 mode is
used in BCCH frequency planning, the TCHs on BCCH frequencies have low interference resistance,
and the interference in the system is increased. But if a denser frequency multiplexing mode is adopted,
the performance of TCHs may decrease badly to an unacceptable level.
Enabling BCCH dense frequency multiplexing on the BSC can solve the above problems.

Description
During channel assignment, the assignment of channels on the
BCCH TRXs depends on the uplink receive level, quality, and
non-BCCH load.
The TCHs are preferentially assigned on the BCCH TRXs if the
following conditions are met:
1. The uplink receive level after filtering is higher than "Level
Thresh. for Assigning Main BCCH Carrier Channel Under TIGHT
BCCH".
