Maintenance engineers
Organization
1 Changes in BSS Feature Configuration Guide (Based on MML)
This describes the changes in the various versions of BSS Feature Configuration Guide(Based
on MML).
2 Configuring the Multiband Network
A multiband network consists of multiple frequency bands. The combined multiband network
can increase the utilization of frequency resources on the radio network.
3 Configuring the Speech Version
This describes how to configure the speech version on the Local Maintenance Terminal.
4 Configuring ALC
Automatic level control (ALC) adjusts the gain of digital voice signals on the uplink and
downlink every 20 ms and changes the amplitude of digital voice signals in static or dynamic
mode. This keeps the voice level of the entire network in a predefined state, prevents the volume
fluctuation of the two parties during a call, and reduces interference among the normal calls.
5 Configuring Acoustic Echo Cancellation
Acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) can decrease acoustic echo caused by the MS, thus improving
the network quality and voice quality.
6 Configuring Cell Broadcast
Cell broadcast is a teleservice that periodically broadcasts messages to all the MSs in a specified
area. With cell broadcast, the mobile network operators can provide special services for users.
7 Configuring Ciphering
The ciphering algorithm encrypts the subscriber information such as the voice and data so that
the information is securely transmitted on the Um interface.
8 Configuring Frequency Hopping
With this feature, wanted signals are transmitted by switching a carrier among many frequencies
according to the specified sequences. Frequency hopping involves RF hopping and baseband
hopping.Frequency hopping is a spread-spectrum technology, which has the features such as
resistance to interference, anti-attenuation, and high security. The application of frequency
hopping in the GSM supresses the interference and increases the system capacity.
9 Configuring eMLPP
The eMLPP is a supplementary service offered by the GSM system. The eMLPP service allows
a subscriber to initiate calls with different priorities. The network side employs different channel
iv
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
assignment strategies for the subscribers according to the priorities. If the network is congested,
the call with higher priority is served preferably.
10 Configuring Priority-Based Resource Reservation
With priority-based resource reservation, the system reserves a certain number of TCHFs for
the high-priority users to ensure their QoS. By using this function, operators can provide services
of different levels for users with different priorities, thus increasing the operators' revenues.
11 Configuring Network Support SAIC
This describes how to configure the Network Support SAIC. The Single Antenna Interference
Cancellation (SAIC) is a technique for restraining the co-channel interference and adjacentchannel interference. This technique is especially adopted in the single antenna scenario to
reduce the interference on the reception of downlink signals.
12 Configuring Active Power Control
This describes how to configure the active power control. After an MS accesses the network or
an intra-BSC handover is performed successfully, the BSC controls the uplink and downlink
power so that the MS and the BTS transmit signals at the proper power. In this way, power
control can be performed in time. Through the active power control, the system interference is
reduced, the QoS is improved, and the power consumption of the BTS and the MS is decreased.
13 Configuring Robust Air Interface Signalling
With the robust air interface signalling function, when the radio quality is poor, the antiinterference capability of the FACCH and SACCH is improved through repeated sending of the
FACCH and SACCH frames. In this manner, the MS and BSC can receive the signaling
messages more successfully. The robust air interface signalling function includes repeated
sending of the FACCH frames in the downlink and the repeated sending of the SACCH frames
in the uplink and downlink.
14 Configuring BSS Paging Coordination
With the BSS paging coordination function, the network can send the CS domain paging message
to an MS in the packet transfer state on the PACCH if the Gs interface is not configured between
the MSC/VLR and the SGSN. In this manner, the MS in the packet transfer state can respond
to the CS domain paging.
15 Configuring a Co-BCCH Cell
Co-BCCH cell is realized on the basis of the principles of the concentric cell. The TRXs on the
GSM900M (or GSM850M) are configured in the underlaid subcell, which is used to expand the
coverage area; and the TRXs on the DCS1800M (or PCS1900M) are configured in the overlaid
subcell, which is used to absorb the traffic. The TRXs on two bands are distributed in the overlaid
subcell and underlaid subcell that share one BCCH TRX. Co-BCCH cell increases the traffic
capacity of a cell, decreases handovers and interference, and improves the continuous coverage
and sparse coverage in hot spots.
16 Configuring 2G/3G Interoperability
The 2G/3G interoperability feature enables an MS to be handed over to or reselected to the GSM
network if the serving cell of the MS is not covered by the WCDMA/TD-SCDMA network or
if the serving WCDMA/TD-SCDMA cell is in a weak coverage area. In addition, an MS can be
handed over to or reselected to the WCDMA/TD-SCDMA network if the MS requires the PS
services. When a dual-mode MS enters the coverage of the WCDMA/TD-SCDMA network
again, or the MS detects that the WCDMA/TD-SCDMA cell is better than the serving GSM cell,
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
the MS can be handed over to or reselected to the WCDMA/TD-SCDMA network if the handover
or cell reselection conditions are met. Then, the MS can use the abundant services provided by
the WCDMA/TD-SCDMA network.
17 Configuring TRX Cooperation
With this feature, when the BCCH TRX or the TRX involved in baseband FH is faulty, the cell
automatically rectifies the faults. Thus, the services in the cell are not affected before the faulty
TRX is replaced. Based on the type of faulty TRXs and the handling method, the TRX
cooperation is classified into BCCH TRX cooperation and baseband FH TRX cooperation. For
the non-baseband FH cell, only the BCCH TRX cooperation occurs. For the baseband FH cell,
both BCCH TRX cooperation and baseband FH TRX cooperation are likely to occur.
18 Configuring Cell Frequency Scan
The cell frequency scan function enables the scanning of the levels of the uplink signals at
specific frequencies on a specific channel of a cell. The scanned results of the signal levels
provides references for engineers to select proper operating frequencies.
19 Configuring High-Speed Signaling Links
The BSC uses the high-speed signaling when the 64 kbit/s signaling fail to meet the signaling
requirements on the A interface due to high traffic volume. With this feature, the N timeslots in
an E1 are bound for the physical transmission of the SS7 signaling. Therefore, the bandwidth
of a signaling link is extended to N x 64 kit/s and a maximum of 2 Mbit/s E1 bandwidth (N =
31) can be used.
20 Configuring Local Multiple Signaling Points
With this feature, a physical node is logically classified into multiple signaling points. Each
signaling point can be independently connected to other signaling points and thus meets the
signaling link requirements for large capacity processing of the BSC6000. In addition, the
requirements for the signaling networking capability of the MSC are reduced because the highspeed signaling technology is not used. Thus, the operators' investment is saved.
21 Configuring DTX and DRX
Discontinuous transmission (DTX) and discontinuous reception (DRX) increases the standby
time and call duration of an MS.
22 Configuring Location Service
Location sevice (LCS) enables the network to provide various services for an MS based on the
location of the MS. These services include weather forecasts, trip scheduling, emergency
assistance, stock information, business planning, and transportation conditions. The simple
location service can locate an MS based on the information obtained during single-user message
tracing.
23 Configuring TFO
The TFO feature can reduce the speech signal degradation caused by tandem operation, thus
improving the voice quality. When the calling MS and the called MS use the same speech version,
the TFO link is established through the in-band signaling negotiation. In addition, the least
significant bit (or the second least significant bit) is stolen to seize the 8 kbit/s (or 16 kbit/s)
sublink of the PCM transmission link for transparent transmission of TFO frames and bypass
TC encoding/decoding. In this manner, the speech signal is encoded at the MS initiating the call
and decoded at the MS terminating the call for only once. Thus, the degradation of the speech
signals due to tandem operation is reduced and the voice quality is improved. This process is
called tandem free operation (TFO).
vi
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
24 Configuring PBT
In the DTRU, two TRXs are integrated into a TRX module that is configured with a combiner.
The combiner combines the radio signals of the same frequency and same phrase from two
TRXs, and then transmits the combined signals. In this way, the downlink transmit power is
higher than the transmit power of the original signals, and the transmit power with high gain is
achieved and the downlink coverage is extended.
25 Configuring Transmit Diversity
In the DTRU, two TRXs are integrated into one TRX module. With this feature, the two TRXs
on the DTRU transmit the correlated signals of the same carrier. This provides two independent
multi-path signals for the downlink. Then, the two independent multi-path signals are processed
by the equalizer of the MS. In this way, the diversity gain is obtained, and the quality of the
receive signal is improved. Therefore, the downlink coverage is improved. When the DTRU
works in single TRX mode, the BTS can enable this feature through data configuration.
26 Configuring 4-Way Receive Diversity
With appropriate design, the 4-way receiver diversity technology allows one TRX module to
receive the uplink signals from four RX channels and then combine the uplink signals to achieve
better signal quality and demodulation performance. Thus, the receive sensitivity is improved,
and the receive effect is much better than that of none receiver diversity and that of two-way
receiver diversity.
27 Configuring SDCCH Dynamic Adjustment
SDCCH dynamic adjustment is to dynamically adjust the number of SDCCHs according to the
load of the TCHs and SDCCHs. In this way, the effect of the initial configuration of the SDCCH
on the system is minimized, and radio resources are fully utilized.This describes how to configure
SDCCH dynamic adjustment on the Local Maintenance Terminal.
28 Configuring NACC
NACC refers to network-assisted cell reselection. To implement rapid PS access after cell
reselection, the BSC sends the system information about the target cell to the MS before cell
reselection. Therefore, the service interruption time due to the cell reselection is minimized. This
describes how to configure NACC on the Local Maintenance Terminal.
29 Configuring NC2
The network-controlled cell reselection (NC2) refers to the situation that the MS in packet
transfer mode can be controlled by the network to reselect a cell according to the measurement
report.This describes how to configure NC2 on the Local Maintenance Terminal.
30 Configuring Packet Performance Improvement
This describes how to configure packet performance improvement on the external PCU
maintenance console or Local Maintenance Terminal.
31 Configuring Flex Abis
Flex Abis implements the sharing of the transmission resources on the Abis interface between
different BTSs, cells, and services, and thus improves the resource utilization. Flex Abis is an
allocation mode of the transmission resources on the Abis interface. That is, the transmission
resources on the Abis interface form a resource pool to share resources between CS services and
PS services (including idle timeslots) and also between different cells or BTSs. Especially when
Flex Abis is enabled in multi-cell large capacity BTSs, cascading BTSs, and the cells configured
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
vii
with the EGPRS function, the transmission resources on the Abis interface can be used in an
efficient way.
32 Configuring the MSC Pool
With this feature, a maximum of 32 MSCs form a resource pool to provide services for the
subscribers under one group of BSCs. Through the MSC pool, one BSC can be connected to
multiple MSCs at the same time. In addition, the traffic on the BSC is evenly distributed to the
MSCs in the pool according to the NRI or load balancing principle.
33 Configuring BTS Ring Topology
The ring networking mode is a special chain networking mode. Several BTSs form a chain, and
the lowest-level BTS is connected to the BSC through the transmission link, thus forming a ring.
If there is a breakpoint on the ring, the BTSs that precede the breakpoint remain unchanged in
networking mode whereas the BTSs that follow the breakpoint form a new chain connection in
the reverse direction. The BTS ring topology is categorized into two types: Huawei BTS ring
topology I and Huawei BTS ring topology II.
34 Configuring APS
The automatic protection switching (APS) function applies to optical port backup. If a fault
occurs on the working channel, the BSC negotiates with the optical transmission equipment on
the protection channel through the APS to switch traffic signals onto the protection channel.
APS can improve the stability and maintainability of the entire system. The APS configuration
consists of configuring and verifying APS.
35 Configuring BSC Local Switching
With this feature, if the calling MS and called MS are under the same BSC, the speech signals
on the Abis interface are looped back to the MS without traveling around the NSS. In addition,
in the BSC local switch, the speech coding schemes of the calling MS and called MS are the
same and thus no coding conversion is required. Therefore, the TC resources involved in the
BSC local switch can be released, and thus the speech quality is improved.
36 Configuring BTS Local Switching
With this feature, if the calling MS and called MS are within the coverage of the same BTS or
BTS group, the BSC performs the loopback on the cabinet group of the convergent BTS.
37 Configuring Dynamic MAIO
Under the BTSs with large capacity, adjacent-channel or co-channel interference are likely to
occur among channels because the frequency resources are insufficient and the tight frequency
reuse is adopted.With the dynamic MAIO, when an MAIO is assigned to a channel under
activation, the MAIO value is dynamically adjusted according to the current interference and
the MAIO value with the minimum interference is assigned to the channel,reduces the adjacentchannel and co-channel interference in the GSM system.
38 Configuring Antenna Hopping
This describes how to configure antenna hopping. With antenna hopping, the downlink data on
each TRX can be randomly transmitted on other TRXs. This optimizes the data reception of the
MS from the main BCCH TRX and the data transmission of the main BCCH TRX, thus
improving network performance.
39 Configuring Voice Quality Index
viii
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
The voice quality index (VQI) feature provides a direct method to measure the voice quality of
the radio network. By measuring the uplink VQI and downlink VQI, the voice quality of the
network is quantified, which provides a reference for future network optimization.
40 Configuring ANR
Automatic noise restraint (ANR) reduces the background noise in the uplink speech signals and
improves the signal noise ratio (SNR) and speech intelligibility. Thus, the speech signals are
received clearly at the peer end.
41 Intelligent Power Consumption Decrease
This describes how to decrease the power consumption of various BTS parts through the use of
a technology to decrease the overall BTS power consumption. The technologies used for
intelligent power consumption decrease are as follows: TRX Power Amplifier Intelligent
Shutdown, Timeslot-level Shutdown of the Power Amplifier, Intelligent Combiner Bypass, PSU
Smart Control, Power Optimization Based on Channel Type, Enhanced BCCH Power
Consumption Optimization, Active Backup Power Control, Multi-Carrier Intelligent Voltage
Regulation and TRX Working Voltage Adjustment. The technologies such as channel
assignment algorithm, DTX, and power control also help to decrease the power consumption.
42 Configuring Tight BCCH Frequency Reuse
The tight BCCH frequency reuse technology is applicable to the network with insufficient
frequency resources. It increases the reusability of BCCH frequencies and reduces the number
of frequencies used by the BCCHs. Therefore, more frequencies can be used at the FH layer,
thus improving the system capacity.
43 Configuring Connection Inter BSC over IP
This describes how to configuring Inter-BSC signaling links on the current BSC and external
BSC on the Local Maintenance Terminal.
44 Managing a BSC Soft-Synchronized Network Task
The Soft-Synchronized Network feature realizes the synchronization through software. With
this feature, all the BTSs under one BSC synchronize with each other by adjusting the frame
number, timeslot number, and bit offset in the timeslot to be the same through software. In a
synchronous network, dynamic frequency allocation and dynamic channel assignment can be
adopted to minimize inter-cell co-channel and adjacent-channel collision. This greatly improves
the frequency usage and increases the network capacity.
45 Configuring Entire Network Synchronization
This describes how to configure the DGPS in the BTS3012 or configure the USCU in the 3900
series base station or 3036 series base station to support the GPS function so that the entire
network is synchronized.
46 Configuring BSS IP Transmission
This describes three types of IP transmission in the BSS: A over IP, Abis over IP, and Gb over
IP. According to the network planning, different networking modes can be used on each interface
in the BSS as required. The networking reliability can be guaranteed by the active/standby mode,
load sharing, and link detection. Meanwhile, the quality of IP transmission can be guaranteed
by various QoS mechanisms.
47 Configuring Abis Transmission Optimization or HubBTS
The Abis Transmission Optimization feature introduces the HDLC frame and HDLC channel
without changing the physical transmission mode. It statistically multiplexes the traffic data,
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
ix
signaling data, and OM data on the HDLC channel to obtain a higher transmission gain through
voice frame compression and multiplexing.
48 Configuring SGSN Pool
This feature enables a maximum of 32 SGSNs to form a resource pool to provide services for
the subscribers belonging to one group of BSCs. With this feature, one BSC can be connected
to multiple SGSNs at the same time. In addition, the traffic on the BSC is evenly distributed to
the SGSNs in the pool according to the network resource identifier (NRI) or load balancing
principle.
49 Configuring RAN Sharing
On the condition that independency of CNs of multiple operators is maintained, RAN Sharing
enables multiple operators to share one GBSS network so that they can use the resources
(including the BSC, BTS, antenna system, transmission, and so on) in the GBSS network
simultaneously. RAN Sharing supports a maximum of four operators. Each operator has an
independent CN (MSC and SGSN). The shared GBSS uses a uniform network management
system, which implements comprehensive management of all the resources in the GBSS.
50 Configuring Multi-site Cell
This feature enables the subsites in different physical sites to be set to a logical cell, which is
also called a cascading cell. A subsite refers to a certain area physically covered by multiple
RRU/RFUs that belong to the same BBU. In the scenarios such as railway, tunnel, or indoor
coverage, a cascading cell can reduce handovers, improve the coverage efficiency, and enhance
the user experience.
51 Configuring IBCA
IBCA algorithm is a channel assignment algorithm, which has a remarkable effect on improving
the utilization of frequency resources and expanding the network capacity. To use the IBCA
algorithm, the inter-site Um interface software synchronization or GPS synchronization should
be enabled. In addition, the GPS synchronization requires the support from the hardware
configuration.
52 Configuring BTS in automatic planning mode
Before the automatic planning of the BTS, you need to preconfigure some parameters used by
the algorithm on the M2000 client. You can also query the progress and result of the automatic
planning of the BTS, analyze the data, or locate the fault on the M2000 client. For details, see
M2000 Operator Guide. Configuring BTS in automatic planning mode includes Configuring a
BTS3900B GSM in automatic planning mode and Configuring a BTS3900E GSM in automatic
planning mode
53 Configure DTM
Dual Transfer Mode (DTM) is a 3GPP-defined standard function. This feature implements the
simplified operation function of the class A mobile phone, that is, concurrent CS services and
PS services. DTM allows simultaneous transfer of CS service and PS service. That is, a
subscriber can send photos or browse websites during a call. The 3G network provides concurrent
CS service and PS service. With DTM, the subscribers in a GSM network can enjoy services
similar to those provided in a 3G network. In addition, in areas with insufficient 3G coverage,
subscribers can use the services that are similar to 3G services through the 2G network.
54 Configuring VGCS/VBS
This describes how to configure the VGCS/VBS. Compared with the original GSM system, the
GSM-R has new features, such as the Voice Group Call Service (VGCS), Voice Broadcast
x
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
Service (VBS), and enhanced Multi-Level Precedence and Pre-emption (eMLPP) service. The
GSM-R can provide diversified voice dispatch services required in the private network.
55 Configuring AMR
The adaptive multi rate (AMR) is a speech encoding and decoding algorithm, which can be
adjusted between full-rate speech version 3 and half-rate speech version 3 specified by the
protocol. With AMR, the BTS and the MS can evaluate the interference on the radio network
according to the measurements such as receive level, receive quality, and carrier-to-interference
(C/I) ratio, and then adjust the voice encoding rate accordingly. In this way, both the antiinterference capability of the radio communications system and the voice quality are improved.
56 Configuring Dynamically Adjusting the Uplink MCS Coding
The BSS supports nine codec schemes: MCS-1 to MCS-9. With the Dynamically Adjusting the
Uplink MCS Coding function, the uplink rate of an EGPRS user can be dynamically adjusted
according to the actual network status. The BSC dynamically adjusts the codec scheme adopted
by the PDCH according to the uplink measurement report reported by the BTS. In this manner,
the codec scheme of the PDCH changes with the radio environment where the MS locates, thus
improving the uplink throughput.
57 Configuring Concentric Cell
A concentric cell is divided into an overlaid subcell and an underlaid subcell. Different frequency
reuse patterns can be applied to the overlaid and underlaid subcells.
58 Configuring Extended Cell
The application of extended cell breaks the coverage limit of 35 km of a GSM cell. This helps
operators to provide wider coverage in special areas.
59 PS QoS
PS QoS refers to GPRS/EGPRS QoS, that is, the quality of GPRS/EGPRS services on radio
access network. The requirements for PS QoS are defined by QoS attributes, including the traffic
class, transfer delay, maximum bit rate (MBR), guaranteed bit rate (GBR), traffic handling
priority (THP), allocation/retention priority (ARP), and reliability.
60 Configuring Half-Rate
Half-rate indicates that the voice coding rate decreases by half based on the new coding
algorithm. In this way, a physical channel can carry the services of two half-rate MSs instead of
the services of a full-rate MS.
61 Configuring MS High Multislot Classes
The function of MS high multislot classes enables the allocation of a maximum of five uplink/
downlink timeslots to an MS, thus increasing the uplink/downlink throughput of an MS.
62 Configuring Extended Dynamic Allocation(EDA)
The EDA function enables the allocation of more uplink timeslots to an MS, thus increasing the
uplink throughput.
63 Configuring CS-3/CS-4
The CS-3/CS-4 function enables the BSC to automatically adjust the coding scheme to a higher
one in the area with a low bit error rate based on the existing coding scheme of a GPRS MS and
the transmission quality of the MS. In this manner, a higher throughput is provided.
64 Configuring Network Operation Mode I
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
xi
The function of network operation mode I enables the sending of the CS paging messages over
PCCCHs, CCCHs, or PACCHs on the network side. The MS monitors only one paging channel.
65 Configuring Pre-Processing of Measurement Report
The function of pre-processing of measurement report enables the BTS to interpolate and filter
measurement reports (MRs) and then report the results of the processed MRs to the BSC. In this
manner, the BSC does not need to process the MRs, thus reducing the load of the BSC.
66 Configuring Enhanced Measurement Report (EMR)
The EMR is the downlink measurement report (MR) of a new type introduced in R99. Compared
with the common MR, more measurement objects such as bit error probability (BEP) and frame
erase ratio (FER) are included. In this manner, the performance of the power control algorithm
and handover algorithm is improved.
67 Configuring Automatic Frequency Correction(AFC)
The automatic frequency correction (AFC) function uses a special balancing algorithm to
estimate the difference between the standard frequency and the frequency of the GMSK signal
sent from the fast-moving MS to the BTS. The AFC estimates the frequency offset between the
frequency of each received burst and the standard frequency in real time. Then, the estimated
frequency offset is used to correct the RX working frequency of the BTS.
68 Configuring Handover
The service area of the GSM is composed of the cells with continuous coverage. To enable the
subscribers to communicate without interruption and to optimize the network performance, the
handover technique is introduced to the GSM system.
69 Configuring Flex Ater
With the Flex Ater function, the Ater resources are allocated according to the service type during
a call connection. If full-rate channels are used over the Um interface, the 16 kbit/s Ater resources
are allocated. If half-rate channels are used over the Um interface, the 8 kbit/s Ater resources
are allocated.
70 Configuring Abis Transmission Backup
When the active SDH transmission link is faulty due to a natural disaster, the GBSS automatically
switches the terrestrial TDM transmission link on the Abis interface to a backup satellite
transmission link, thus maintaining the normal operation of the network.
71 Configuring End-to-End MS Signaling Tracing
The function of end-to-end MS signaling tracing enables the tracing of faults of an NE based on
the collected information about specified users with only a small number of resources occupied,
thus facilitating fault rectification.
72 Configuring PDCH Dynamic Adjustment
The function of PDCH dynamic adjustment enables the automatic conversion between TCHs
and PDCHs as required instead of configuring fixed PDCHs.
73 Configuring 14.4 Kbps Circuit Switched Data
Huawei GBSS supports the use of a single CS channel for transmitting PS services, including
the 14.4 kbps CSD services.

Use an MS supporting the GSM900 frequency band to camp on a 900 MHz cell.
Perform the dialing test. The call is normal.
2.
Use an MS supporting the DCS1800 frequency band to camp on a 1800 MHz cell.
Perform the dialing test. The call is normal.
3.
Use an MS supporting the GSM900 and DCS1800 frequency bands to camp on a 900
MHz cell. Perform the dialing test. After the call is set up, move the MS towards the
centre of the 1800 MHz cell. Then, observe the window displaying the monitored
channel status. The MS is handed over to the 1800 MHz cell, and the call is still normal.
2.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the RMV CELL command to delete other
cells except for the 900 MHz cell.

3.
Use an MS supporting the GSM900 frequency band to camp on the 900 MHz cell.
Perform the dialing test. The call is normal.
4.
Use an MS supporting the DCS1800 frequency band to camp on the 900 MHz cell.
The call cannot be set up.
On condition that the KPIs are acceptable, the resource sharing of the overlaid
and underlaid subcells expands the system capacity.
Impact
None.
Prerequisite
l
When two cells belong to different operators, the enhanced dual-band network cannot be
configured.
When changing the relation between the cell and the operator, check whether the enhanced
dual-band network is configured. If yes, modify the attributes of the enhanced dual-band
network and change the relation between the cell and the operator.
The cell must be a single band cell. That is, the frequency bands GSM900_DCS1800,
GSM850_1800, or GSM850_1900 cannot be used in the cell.

Procedure
Step 1 On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the ADD CELL command to add a single band cell.
Step 2 On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the ADD CELL2GNC command to add a 2G
unidirectional neighboring cell for the source cell.
Step 3 On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the ADD CELL2GNC command to add the source
cell to be the neighboring cell of the 2G unidirectional neighboring cell so that the two cells are
bidirectional neighboring cells with each other.
Step 4 On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the MOD CELLIUO command to set Cell IUO
Type to EDB_cell(Enhanced double freq cell).
Step 5 On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the SET CELLHOEDBPARA command to Set the
parameters that affect overlaid/underlaid subcell handover in enhanced dual-band network.

4.
Maintain the call of MS 1 and use MS 2 to call the fixed-line phone in the GSM900
cell. MS 2 is assigned to a channel of the DCS1800 cell because the load of the
underlaid subcell is higher than UL Subcell General Overload Threshold[%]. This
indicates that the call in the underlaid cell can be assigned to the overlaid cell when
the traffic in the underlaid cell is heavy and the signals in the overlaid cell are strong
enough.
5.
Stop all the calls. On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the SET
CELLHOEDBPARA command to set the parameters of the DCS1800 cell as

Make MS 1 camp on the DCS1800 cell and initiate a call. MS 1 is assigned to the
underlaid GSM900 cell because the load of the underlaid cell is not higher than UL
Subcell Lower Load Threshold(%). This indicates that the call in the overlaid cell
can be assigned to the underlaid cell when the traffic in the underlaid cell is light.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the MOD CELLIUO command to set
Cell IUO Type to Normal_cell(Normal cell). The adjustment of the reserved cell is

4 Configuring ALC
Configuring ALC
Automatic level control (ALC) adjusts the gain of digital voice signals on the uplink and
downlink every 20 ms and changes the amplitude of digital voice signals in static or dynamic
mode. This keeps the voice level of the entire network in a predefined state, prevents the volume
fluctuation of the two parties during a call, and reduces interference among the normal calls.
Scenario
ALC is configured to keep the voice level of the entire network in a predefined
state and avoid the volume fluctuation of two parties during a call.

Context
The frequency hopping improves the speech quality; however, it has negative impact on PS
services. Especially in high data rate coding schemes such as CS3-CS4, MCS5-MCS9, it may
have negative impact on the network. Therefore, you are advised not to enable frequency hopping
in this case.

The GSM900 is classified into sub frequency bands: P-GSM, E-GSM, and R-GSM. The
P-GSM (900P) band provides the frequencies numbered from 1 to 124, the E-GSM (900E)
provides the frequencies numbered 0 and those numbered from 975 to 1023, and the RGSM band provides the frequencies numbered from 955 to 974.
In initial configuration, the first channel to be configured is the BCCH by default. If the
main BCCH frequency belongs to the 900P band, the frequencies from the 900P band are
called compatible frequencies while those from the 900E and 1800M bands are called
incompatible frequencies. If the main BCCH frequency belongs to the 900E band, the
frequencies from the 900P and 900E bands are called compatible frequencies while those
from the 900R and 1800M bands are called incompatible frequencies. If the main BCCH
frequency belongs to the 900R band, the frequencies from the 900P, 900E, and 900R bands
are called compatible frequencies while the frequencies from the 1800M band are called
incompatible frequencies. For frequency hopping in non co-BCCH cells, if the main BCCH
frequency belongs to the 900P band, the cells cannot contain the frequencies from the
incompatible EGSM or 1800M band.
The frequency of the TRX that carries the SDCCH can be compatible or incompatible with
the main BCCH frequency. If the frequency of the TRX that carries the SDCCH and the
main BCCH frequency belong to the same frequency band, the frequency band where the
TRX with the SDCCH operates should not be higher than that where the TRX with the
main BCCH operates. The PDCH can configured only on the TRX of compatible main
BCCH frequency.
If a cell is configured with less than two TRXs, the cell should not be configured as an FH
cell.
In a double-timeslot cell, the TRX carrying the main BCCH must be configured in the
underlaid subcell.
When a double-timeslot cell is also a concentric cell, at least one static PDCH should be
configured in the overlaid subcell.
In a double-timeslot cell, the odd-numbered channels on the TRXs in the underlaid subcell
must be SDCCHs.
If a double-timeslot cell is configured with baseband FH, the TRXs in the underlaid subcell
should not be in the same FH group with other TRXs.
In RF FH, the TRX carrying the main BCCH must be set to No FH.
If the baseband FH and the EDGE functionality conflict, they cannot be configured
simultaneously.
When the cell software parameter TSC Plan Enable is set to the ON state, the base station
color code (BCC) of a cell must be the same as the training sequence code (TSC) in the FH
data table. When the cell software parameter TSC Plan Enable is set to the OFF state, the
base station color code (BCC) of a cell must be different from the training sequence code
(TSC) in the FH data table.
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
8-3
In the baseband FH, the FH group of non-main BCCH frequencies in timeslot 0 is exclusive
to the main BCCH frequencies.
In RF FH, the TRX carrying the main BCCH must be set to No FH.
If a double-transceiver BTS is configured with baseband FH, the TRXs whose frequencies
are in one FH group must be configured in the same cabinet. If a single-transceiver BTS is
configured with baseband FH, the TRXs whose frequencies are in one FH group must be
configured in the same cabinet group.
For the FH TRXs, the same timeslots should not have the same FH group number and the
same Mobile Allocation Index Offset (MAIO) simultaneously.
In a cell, the TCHs on the carriers incompatible with the BCCH carrier can be converted
into PDCHs if the MS supports the related frequency bands; the TCHs on only the carriers
compatible with the BCCH carrier can be converted into PDCHs if the MS does not support
the related frequency band.
When the long-range FH switch is turned on, the number of carriers compatible with the
BCCH carrier can be greater than 24 in a GPRS cell or greater than 16 in an EGPRS cell,
but the following conditions must be met:
At least one static PDCH should be configured on the BCCH carrier.
The carriers compatible with the BCCH carrier and those incompatible with the BCCH
carrier should not be configured in the same MA list.
If the number of carriers compatible with the BCCH carrier in a cell is greater than 32, at
least one non-FH TRX should be configured in the cell.If the number of carriers compatible
with the BCCH carrier in a GPRS cell is greater than 24 but smaller than or equal to 32, or
the number of carriers compatible with the BCCH carrier in an EGPRS cell is greater than
16 but smaller than or equal to 32, a maximum of one MA list in which the carriers are
compatible with the BCCH carrier can be configured.
In a concentric cell, if the BCCH carrier is located in the OL subcell, the carriers compatible
with the BCCH carrier should be configured with PDCHs, and the carriers incompatible
with the BCCH carrier can be configured with PDCHs or the channels on these carriers can
be converted into PDCHs. If all the traffic channels in a concentric cell are configured as
dynamic PDTCHs, the parameter Dynamic Channel Conversion Parameter of
Concentric Cell of GPRS Attributes should be set to Convert dynamic channel in both
subcells and underlaid subcell preferred.
In a concentric cell, if the BCCH carrier is located in the UL subcell, the carrier assigned
to the MS accessing the network for the first time should meet the following conditions: It
should be located in the UL subcell and be compatible with the BCCH carrier, and PDCH
should be configured on the carrier. Otherwise, the MS cannot access the network. The
carriers incompatible with the BCCH carrier can be configured with PDCHs or the channels
on these carriers can be converted into PDCHs so that the MS can be assigned these carriers
through the Packet Timeslot Reconfigure procedure.

The frequency hopping simplifies frequency planning, improves the antiinterference capability, and increases the capacity of the system.
Impact
The frequency hopping improves the speech quality; however, it has negative
impact on PS services.
When the FH mode of a cell is changed from none FH to RF HP, the system automatically changes the FH
attributes of all TRXs in a cell to RF FH.
Prerequisite
The number of TRXs in a cell must be greater than or equal to two.

In the test cell, use MS 2 and MS 3 separately to make a call to the PSTN.
5.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the SET BTSOBJ command to block the
remaining idle TCHs in the cell.
6.
Use MS 1 to make a call to the PSTN. MS 3 is found to be handed over to other cells.
If the handover fails, the channel used by MS 3 is released and then occupied by MS
1. The call initiated by MS 2 is not affected.
NOTE
When the eMLPP function is enabled, whether an MS with a lower priority can be handed over to
another cell is determined by whether the neighboring cell relations is configured correctly (the
configuration of the neighboring cell relations is not involved in the configuration of the eMLPP
function). In addition, when the eMLPP function is enabled, the data configuration on the CN side
must be correct, and the configuration relations included in the Priority information element (IE) of
the assignment request message, which indicates the MS that can be preempted, must comply with
the priorities. The assignment request message can be viewed in the A interface tracing window.

This describes how to configure the Network Support SAIC. The Single Antenna Interference
Cancellation (SAIC) is a technique for restraining the co-channel interference and adjacentchannel interference. This technique is especially adopted in the single antenna scenario to
reduce the interference on the reception of downlink signals.
Scenario
The transmit power of the BTS that serves the MS supporting the SAIC can be
reduced on the network side. In this way, the interference on the entire network
is reduced.
Impact
None.
Prerequisite
l
Activate the license on the Local Maintenance Terminal. For details, see Activate BSC
License.
Preparation
The MS supporting the SAIC function has a stronger anti-interference capability. Therefore, the
range of the power control threshold can be adjusted according to the following policies during
the power control of the BSC or the BTS.
l
When Huawei II power control algorithm is applied, the value of Power Control threshold
Adjust for SAIC should be added to that of DL Qual. Upper Threshold and DL Qual.
Lower Threshold.
When Huawei III power control algorithm is applied, the value of HW3 threshold Adjust
for SAIC should be subtracted from that of HW3DL**RexQualHighThred[dB] and
HW3DL**RexQualLowThred[dB]. ** indicates full-rate services (FS), half-rate
services (HS), AMR full-rate services (AFS), or AMR half-rate services (AHS) in
different situations.

This describes how to configure the active power control. After an MS accesses the network or
an intra-BSC handover is performed successfully, the BSC controls the uplink and downlink
power so that the MS and the BTS transmit signals at the proper power. In this way, power
control can be performed in time. Through the active power control, the system interference is
reduced, the QoS is improved, and the power consumption of the BTS and the MS is decreased.
Scenario
The active power control is enabled to control the transmit power of the BTS
and the MS so that the system interference is reduced and the QoS is improved.
Impact
None.

With the robust air interface signalling function, when the radio quality is poor, the antiinterference capability of the FACCH and SACCH is improved through repeated sending of the
FACCH and SACCH frames. In this manner, the MS and BSC can receive the signaling
messages more successfully. The robust air interface signalling function includes repeated
sending of the FACCH frames in the downlink and the repeated sending of the SACCH frames
in the uplink and downlink.
Scenario
The robust air interface signalling function helps to improve the performance
of the FACCH and SACCH , thus reducing the call drop rate of the MS and
improving the accuracy of the BSC handover and power control decision.
Impact
The speech quality is slightly affected because the signaling messages are
repeatedly sent through frame stealing.

With the BSS paging coordination function, the network can send the CS domain paging message
to an MS in the packet transfer state on the PACCH if the Gs interface is not configured between
the MSC/VLR and the SGSN. In this manner, the MS in the packet transfer state can respond
to the CS domain paging.
Scenario
In the network with a lot of PS services, the BSS paging coordination function
helps to increase the paging success rate if no Gs interface is configured.

If the overlaid subcell is configured in the DCS1800M, the underlaid subcell is configured
in the GSM900M or GSM850M.
If the overlaid subcell is configured in the PCS1900M, the underlaid subcell is configured
in the GSM850M.
NOTE
The signal loss of the DCS1800M is faster with the transmission distance. At the distance of 0.5-1 km, the
signal power of the DCS1800M is about 15 dB less than the signal power of the GSM900M.
The configuration of the co-BCCH cell should comply with the following principles:
l
Generally, the overlaid subcell channel is not directly assigned to a call, the incoming intercell handover request is not directly assigned to the overlaid subcell, and a call beyond the
coverage of the DCS1800M TRX is not forcibly assigned to the overlaid subcell.
The traffic in the underlaid subcell and the overlaid subcell should be properly assigned to
maintain the traffic balance between the overlaid subcell and the underlaid subcell.
Generally, the GSM900M or GSM850M is configured in the underlaid cell to expand the
coverage, whereas the DCS1800M or PCS1900M is configured in the overlaid cell to
absorb the traffic. Configure the BCCH in the GSM900M TRX. The priorities of different
types of TRXs are: P-GSM > E-GSM > R-GSM.
The frequency hopping between the GSM900M and the DCS1800M is not allowed. The
frequency hopping within the same frequency band is allowed.
Avoid a multi-layer concentric cell due to inconsistent combination mode of the TRXs on
the same frequency band. A multi-layer concentric cell affects the network KPIs, such as
handover success rate and assignment success rate.
Whether the TRXs in the GSM900/GSM850 can carry all the traffic in the cell
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
Number of TRXs
If the traffic is distributed mainly in the overlaid subcell, the congestion is unlikely to
occur in the underlaid subcell. Therefore, the number of TRXs configured in the
underlaid subcell can be small.
If the traffic volume in the underlaid subcell is high, the number of TRXs in the underlaid
subcell should be greater or be equal to that in the overlaid subcell to prevent the
congestion in the underlaid subcell.
If the TRXs in the underlaid subcell are not sufficient, the congestion is likely to occur
in a fully-loaded cell at high traffic hours. The network KPIs such as TCH Seizure
Success Rate and Handover Success Rate deteriorate.
Neighboring cell
If the co-BCCH cell is not adjacent to two or more single-band cells at the same time,
this factor is negligible.
Otherwise, you should consider the network hierarchy. If the co-BCCH cell has a low
priority, this factor is negligible.
If the co-BCCH cell has a high priority, you should consider the traffic load of the
neighboring cells. If the traffic load of neighboring cells is high, the traffic distributed
on the edge of a common cell is switched to the co-BCCH cell. Thus, the underlaid
subcell in the co-BCCH cell is likely to be congested and the network KPIs such as
TCH Seizure Success Rate and Handover Success Rate deteriorate. In such a case,
the co-BCCH cell is not recommended.
If the co-BCCH cell has to be used, you should analyze the traffic distribution based
on the congestion conditions in the underlaid subcell and then adjust the handover
parameters of related cells. The purpose is to prevent the calls on the edge of a
common cell from being handed over to the co-BCCH cell.
Impact
None
Prerequisite
l
The BTS that adds a co-BCCH cell must support the configured frequency band.
The co-BCCH cell function and the extended cell function cannot be enabled at the same
time.

The 2G/3G interoperability feature enables an MS to be handed over to or reselected to the GSM
network if the serving cell of the MS is not covered by the WCDMA/TD-SCDMA network or
if the serving WCDMA/TD-SCDMA cell is in a weak coverage area. In addition, an MS can be
handed over to or reselected to the WCDMA/TD-SCDMA network if the MS requires the PS
services. When a dual-mode MS enters the coverage of the WCDMA/TD-SCDMA network
again, or the MS detects that the WCDMA/TD-SCDMA cell is better than the serving GSM cell,
the MS can be handed over to or reselected to the WCDMA/TD-SCDMA network if the handover
or cell reselection conditions are met. Then, the MS can use the abundant services provided by
the WCDMA/TD-SCDMA network.
Scenario
This feature is used for the MS reselection and handovers between the GSM
network and the WCDMA/TD-SCDMA network, and the interactions between
the GSM network and other 3G networks.
Impact
None
Prerequisite
l
The MS must be a dual-mode MS, which supports the GSM and WCDMA/TD-SCDMA
networks. The MS must support bidirectional (2G to 3G and 3G to 2G) cell reselection and
handovers.
A Interface Tag, Um Interface Tag, and Abis Interface Tag are all set to
GSM_PHASE_2Plus.
2G/3G interoperability requires the support of the BSS and NSS. The NSS and BSS must
support inter-RAT cell selection, cell reselection, location update procedures, flow control
during inter-RAT handovers, handover decisions, and handover signaling procedures.
Activate the license on the Local Maintenance Terminal. For details, see Activate BSC
License.
Preparation
The procedure for configuring GSM/WCDMA interoperability is similar to the procedure for
configuring GSM/TD-SCDMA interoperability. The configuration of GSM/TD-SCDMA
interoperability is taken as an example. The negotiated and planned data is as follows:

With this feature, when the BCCH TRX or the TRX involved in baseband FH is faulty, the cell
automatically rectifies the faults. Thus, the services in the cell are not affected before the faulty
TRX is replaced. Based on the type of faulty TRXs and the handling method, the TRX
cooperation is classified into BCCH TRX cooperation and baseband FH TRX cooperation. For
the non-baseband FH cell, only the BCCH TRX cooperation occurs. For the baseband FH cell,
both BCCH TRX cooperation and baseband FH TRX cooperation are likely to occur.

The BSC uses the high-speed signaling when the 64 kbit/s signaling fail to meet the signaling
requirements on the A interface due to high traffic volume. With this feature, the N timeslots in
an E1 are bound for the physical transmission of the SS7 signaling. Therefore, the bandwidth
of a signaling link is extended to N x 64 kit/s and a maximum of 2 Mbit/s E1 bandwidth (N =
31) can be used.
Scenario
Impact
Compared with 64 kbit/s signaling link, the 2 Mbit/s signaling link is configured
with more timeslots; thus, the signaling transmission capacity of the 2 Mbit/s
signaling link is greatly enhanced.

With this feature, a physical node is logically classified into multiple signaling points. Each
signaling point can be independently connected to other signaling points and thus meets the
signaling link requirements for large capacity processing of the BSC6000. In addition, the
requirements for the signaling networking capability of the MSC are reduced because the highspeed signaling technology is not used. Thus, the operators' investment is saved.
Scenario
The traffic volume is properly distributed to the logical BSCs, which effectively
reduces the impact of the paging traffic on the BSC;Used together with the High
Speed Signaling feature to support more flexible signaling networking mode.
Impact
With this feature, the original intra-BSC handover or intra-BSC directed retry
may be converted into outgoing BSC handover or outgoing BSC directed retry.
Thus, the signaling load on the A interface and the call establishment time are
increased.
For each BM subrack, you should configure the mapping between the BM subrack and the local signaling point.
For each signaling point, you should configure SS7 signaling links. The configuration procedure is the same as
that for configuring general SS7 signaling links.
A maximum of four OPCs, 32 DPCs, and 32 STPs can be configured to a BSC.
Preparation
This operation takes the configuration of two OPCs and one DPC as an example. The two OPCs
correspond to number 0 and number 1 BM subracks.

1.
2.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the SND SYSMSG command to forcedly
send system information to the test cell.
3.
Check the BCCH Information messages in the Abis messages in the CS domain and
find out the messages whose system-info-type is system-information-3 in the
detailed information. Check whether bs-ag-blks-res (the corresponding parameter is
Number of CCCH blocks reserved for the AGCH) is 2, and whether bs-pamfrms (the corresponding parameter is Number of multi-frames in a cycle on the
paging channel) is 0 in the control-channel-description information element. If so,
it indicates that the system information is sent correctly.
4.
Use an MS to call another MS with a known IMSI (such as M). The call is successfully
set up.
5.
Check the Page Command messages in the messages traced over the Abis interface
in the CS domain. If the paging-group information element in the message is M%
1000%14%14, it indicates that the setting of the paging group that delivers the paging
messages is consistent with that set in the system information. In this case, the MS
can implement DRX by listening to the paging subchannel.
NOTE
% in M%1000%14%14 indicates the modulo operator. The obtained paging group number
is decimal.

23 Configuring TFO
23
Configuring TFO
The TFO feature can reduce the speech signal degradation caused by tandem operation, thus
improving the voice quality. When the calling MS and the called MS use the same speech version,
the TFO link is established through the in-band signaling negotiation. In addition, the least
significant bit (or the second least significant bit) is stolen to seize the 8 kbit/s (or 16 kbit/s)
sublink of the PCM transmission link for transparent transmission of TFO frames and bypass
TC encoding/decoding. In this manner, the speech signal is encoded at the MS initiating the call
and decoded at the MS terminating the call for only once. Thus, the degradation of the speech
signals due to tandem operation is reduced and the voice quality is improved. This process is
called tandem free operation (TFO).
Scenario
In A over TDM, the traffic volume is evenly distributed in the MSC pool.
Impact
None.
Prerequisite
l
The data between the TCs at the two ends should be transmitted transparently. In addition,
the TFO should be supported by the TCs at both ends.
This function cannot be enabled at the same time as ALC, AEC, or ANR.

NACC refers to network-assisted cell reselection. To implement rapid PS access after cell
reselection, the BSC sends the system information about the target cell to the MS before cell
reselection. Therefore, the service interruption time due to the cell reselection is minimized. This
describes how to configure NACC on the Local Maintenance Terminal.
Scenario
Impact
None.
Prerequisite
l
Activate the license on the Local Maintenance Terminal. For details, refer to Activate
BSC License.

Verifying NACC
1.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the SET CELLGPRS command to set
Nc2Spt to NO(No).
NOTE
When Network Control Mode is set to NC2, the cell reselection procedure is the NC2
procedure. Thus, you are advised to disable the NC2 function before verifying NACC.

2.
Make an MS camp on the serving cell. Then, activate the GPRS services and trace the
signaling on the Um interface.
3.
Adjust the position of the MS or increase the power of the target cell so that the level
of the target cell is higher than that of the serving cell.
4.
Trace PS messages on the Um interface. When detecting that the signal strength of
the serving cell weakens and that a neighboring cell with better signal strength is
available, the MS sends a PACKET CELL CHANGE NOTIFICATION message
to the BSC. After receiving the message, the BSC replies a PACKET NEIGHBOUR
CELL DATA message containing SI1, SI3, and SI13 of the target cell. Then, the BSC
sends a PACKET CELL CHANGE CONTINUE message to the MS to instruct the
MS to continue with cell reselection.
Deactivating NACC
1.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the SET CELLGPRS command to set
NaccSpt to NO(No).
2.
The operations for verifying deactivation of NACC are the same as those for Verifying
NACC. Verify that the message interchange in Verifying NACC does not exist.

This describes how to configure packet performance improvement on the external PCU
maintenance console or Local Maintenance Terminal.
Prerequisite
The packet performance improvement function is not license-controlled.
Context
Extended uplink TBF can decrease transmission delay, 11-bit EGPRS access on CCCH can
improve the EDGE MS performance, and takeover of the packet immediate assignment by the
BTS can improve MS access performance and decrease access delay.
For PCU commands, see the Manual of Commands related to the PCU.
NOTE
l When the PCU is in external mode, the BSC6000V900R008C02 and later versions support takeover
of immediate assignment and packet assignment by the BTS
l When the PCU is in external mode, you can run the pcu cfgpara
add<BoardNo>g_bCellSptImmAssDlShift 4 0 command to disable the function of takeover of
immediate assignment by the BTS, and you can run the pcu cfgpara
add<BoardNo>g_bCellSptPackAssDlShift 4 0 command to disable the function of takeover of packet
assignment by the BTS. Then, reset the cell.
Procedure
Step 1 Configure extended uplink TBF.
l In external PCU mode, run the PCU add privateoptpara command on the PCU maintenance
terminal to configure the duration of the inactive period timer.
To configure the duration of the inactive period timer to 2000 ms, run the following
command:
pcu add
privateoptpara<LCNo><PSPrecedence><UpTbfRelDelay>2000<DnTbfRelDelay>
l In built-in PCU mode, run the SET PRIVATEOPTPARA command on the Local
Maintenance Terminal to configure the duration of the inactive period timer.

With the Flex Abis feature, the utilization of the transmission resources on the
Abis interface are greatly improved.
Impact
The signaling load on the Abis interface is increased and the reliability of the
system is reduced.
Prerequisite
l
The license is activated through the Local Maintenance Terminal. For details, see
Activate BSC License.
Flex Abis serves as the basis of the BTS local switching. After the BTS local switching is
performed, the occupied transmission resources on the Abis interface are released. This
can save the transmission resources on the Abis interface.
The Flex Abis and Abis bypass functions can be enabled simultaneously.
When BTS ring topology I and Flex Abis are simultaneously enabled, the following
restrictions should apply:
Flex Abis must be enabled in all the BTSs, and only the forward and reverse single E1
link is supported.
The Abis bypass function is not supported.
The 16 kbit/s LAPD link is not supported.
31-2
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
Preparation
NOTE
l When Flex Abis is enabled, Multiplexing Mode can be set to 5:1 or 6:1 to multiplex five or six RSLs
onto a 64 kbit/s timeslot. This can prevent an additional 64 kbit/s timeslot from being occupied.
l When the BTS is initially configured, Flex Abis Mode is set to FLEX_ABIS(Flex Abis) or
SEMI_ABIS(Semisolid Abis) to enable Flex Abis. If Flex abis needs to be enabled after the BTS is
configure, set Flex Abis Mode to FLEX_ABIS(Flex Abis) or SEMI_ABIS(Semisolid Abis).
l When Flex Abis is enabled and Abis Resource Adjustment TCHH Function Switch is set to YES
(YES), the system allocates TCHHs preferentially if the fixed Abis channel seizure rate exceeds Fix
Abis Prior Choose Abis Load Thred{%} and the Flex Abis channel seizure rate exceeds Flex Abis
Prior Choose Abis Load Thred{%}.
l After Flex Abis is enabled, the Abis transmission resources may be insufficient even if there are still
available TCHFs. In this case, the allocation of TCHHs can be triggered based on the Abis transmission
resource load to increase the call access success rate.
l After Flex Abis is enabled in the BSC, the transmission resources on the Abis interface can be
dynamically allocated without configuring the static PDTCH and idle timeslots if the actual traffic
volume is smaller than the estimated value in network design. That is, the primary link and secondary
link are dynamically allocated.
l When Flex Abis is enabled, the CS services and PS services share the transmission resources on the
Abis interface.
l The CS services can preempt the resources of PS services on the secondary link (or even the primary
link if necessary) in a BTS and its lower-level BTS.
l If there are lower-level BTSs, you are advised to set both Sublink resources preemption
switch and Lower-level sublink resources preemption switch to Yes. In this manner, the access
success rate of the CS service users is increased if the Abis transmission resources are insufficient.
l If there are no lower-level BTSs, you need to set only Sublink resources preemption switch to
Yes to increase the access success rate of the CS service users if the Abis transmission resources
are insufficient.
l When the built-in PCU is configured, Sub Res Preempt Flag is set to YES(YES) to allow the CS
services to preempt the resources of PS services on the secondary link in the same-level BTSs.
Low Lev Sub Res Preempt Flag is set to YES(YES) to allow the CS services to preempt the
resources of PS services on the secondary link in the lower-level BTSs.
l When the external PCU is configured, PCU Support PREEMPT_ABIS_LINK message is set
to YES(YES) to allow the BSC to send a PREEMPT_ABIS_LINK message to the PCU so that
the CS services can preempt the transmission resources occupied by the PCU if the PCU supports
the processing of this message.
l After a call is released, the transmission link that the call uses can be reserved if a new call can totally
or partly uses the link. In this manner, the Abis interface transmission link can be quickly established
when the new call arrives. To enable this function, you need to set FlexAbis Bypast-connect Status
to Yes.
l If the Flex Abis function is enabled on the BTS, and if the extension cabinet group is directly connected
to the BSC, the Abis timeslots allocated to the extension cabinet group are displayed as TCH, indicating
fixed timeslots, as shown in Figure 31-1. If the extension cabinet group needs to process data services,
and if the high-rate coding schemes (CS3 and CS4; MCS3 to MCS9) are required, idle timeslots need
to be configured.
l If the Flex Abis function is enabled on the BTS, and if the channel type is changed to static PDCH, the
type of corresponding Abis timeslots is automatically changed to TCH, indicating fixed timeslots.
l In the case of cascaded BTSs, if an upper-level BTS is in Flex Abis mode, and if a lower-level BTS is
in SemiSolid mode, the type of the timeslots allocated to the lower BTS is displayed as TCH, indicating
fixed timeslots, but the timeslot type that the upper-level BTS reports to the BSC is displayed as Flex.If
the lower-level BTS needs to process data services, and if the high-rate coding schemes (CS3 and CS4;
MCS3 to MCS9) are required, idle timeslots need to be configured.

At the sites with high traffic volume, a wide range of services are affected
when the transmission links are disrupted. Thus, you are advised to deploy
the ring topology.
To improve the security and reliability of the chain topology in the multilevel cascading network, you are advised to deploy the ring topology.
To facilitate the maintenance of the unstable transmission quality or the
transmission at the sites in mountainous areas or isolated islands, you are
advised to deploy the ring topology.
At the sites in the areas with frequent earthquakes, the Abis transmission
backup function is recommended. When the active SDH transmission link
is faulty due to a natural disaster, the GBSS automatically switches the
terrestrial TDM transmission link on the Abis interface to a backup satellite
transmission link, thus maintaining the normal operation of the network.
Impact
Ring topology I
If you switch over the BTS in ring topology I manually, the BTS is reset
and the services of the BTS are affected.
After link disconnection, the disconnected BTS is initialized and the
services of the BTS are affected.
The ring topology with Flex Abis enabled does not support the
preemption of the lower-level PS secondary links.
The Abis transmission backup function is license-controlled.
Ring topology II
The switchover between the forward link and the reverse link of the BTS in
ring topology (the time between the disconnection of the physical link and
the restoration of the OML and the RSL) is less than eight seconds.
Prerequisite
l
The GXPUM, GXPUT, and GEIUB are configured on the GMPS or GEPS in the BSC.
Ring topology I
The Abis over IP, OML backup, and HubBTS functions are not supported.
The BTS ring topology with Flex Abis enabled has the following impact on other
features:
Flex Abis must be enabled in all the BTSs and only the forward and reverse single E1
link can be configured. The Abis bypass function is not supported. The 16 kbit/s LAPD
signaling link is not supported. In satellite transmission mode, the services are disrupted
in the case of switchover.

After a link is broken, the BTS reverse link is set up and the transmission is
restored. The BTS link cannot switch over to the forward direction
automatically. The maintenance personnel, however, can forcibly switch over
the link to the forward direction. When the transmission quality in the forward
direction is poor, the maintenance personnel can manually switch over the link
to the reverse direction.

34 Configuring APS
34
Configuring APS
The automatic protection switching (APS) function applies to optical port backup. If a fault
occurs on the working channel, the BSC negotiates with the optical transmission equipment on
the protection channel through the APS to switch traffic signals onto the protection channel.
APS can improve the stability and maintainability of the entire system. The APS configuration
consists of configuring and verifying APS.
Scenario
The GOIUA, GOIUB, GOIUT, and GOIUP can be configured to support the
APS function.
Impact
When the BSC is connected to the optical transmission equipment and the
working channel is faulty, the BSC negotiates with the optical transmission
equipment on the protection channel through the APS to switch over the active
OIUa and standby OIUa. Then the traffic signals are switched from the channel
used to receive the data to the protection channel.
l In BM/TC separated and external PCU mode, APS can be configured on the GOIUA, GOIUB, GOIUT, and
GOIUP.
l In BM/TC combined and external PCU mode, APS can be configured on the GOIUA, GOIUB, and GOIUP.
l In A over IP and external PCU mode, APS can be configured on the GOIUB and GOIUP.
l In BM/TC separated and built-in PCU mode, APS can be configured on the GOIUA, GOIUB, and GOIUT.
l In BM/TC combined and built-in PCU mode, APS can be configured on the GOIUA and GOIUB.
l In BM/TC separated mode, the APS function is supported by default and cannot be deactivated after the
GOIUB/GOIUP/GOIUT is added.
l In BM/TC combined and A over IP mode, the APS function is supported by default and cannot be deactivated
after the GOIUB/GOIUP/GOIUT is added.
Prerequisite
The principles of and requirements for configuring APS are as follows:
l
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
The APS attributes at the local and peer ends must be consistent. The default configuration
is recommended for the BSC. If the configured APS attributes at the local and peer ends
are inconsistent, you must modify the APS attributes.

34-1
34 Configuring APS
The interconnected optical ports must be in the same mode. The optical port in SDH mode
cannot interconnect with that in SONET mode.
The optical fiber must be connected properly. The protection channel at the local end must
be properly connected to that at the peer end. Otherwise, protocol switching cannot be
performed.
The protection modes at both ends must be consistent. The BSC supports only the 1+1
protection mode.
The parameter settings at both ends must be consistent. For example, SWITCH_MODE
and REVERT_MODE at both ends must be consistent. Otherwise, the protocol switching
may be affected.

With this feature, if the calling MS and called MS are under the same BSC, the speech signals
on the Abis interface are looped back to the MS without traveling around the NSS. In addition,
in the BSC local switch, the speech coding schemes of the calling MS and called MS are the
same and thus no coding conversion is required. Therefore, the TC resources involved in the
BSC local switch can be released, and thus the speech quality is improved.
Scenario
BSC local switching is configured to save the transmission resources on the Ater
interface.
Impact
BSC local switching may decrease handover success rate or increase call drop
rate. In addition, If the CN equipment is not provided by Huawei, the following
functions are unavailable after the BTS local switch is enabled: lawful
interception, MSC announcement, DTMF, fax during voice, and independent
charging of the BTS local switch.
Prerequisite

When BSS Loop Switch MSC Cooperate is set to BASIC(Basic), either of the following
cases may occur: If the MSC does not allow the BSS local switching, the MSC carries the
indication information in the assignment request or incoming BSC handover request
message and prohibits the BSC from enabling the local switching. In this case, the BSC
cannot process the local switching. If the MSC allows the BSS local switching, the BSC
determines whether to enable the local switching. In this case, the ongoing supplementary

This describes how to configure antenna hopping. With antenna hopping, the downlink data on
each TRX can be randomly transmitted on other TRXs. This optimizes the data reception of the
MS from the main BCCH TRX and the data transmission of the main BCCH TRX, thus
improving network performance.
Scenario

None
l A cell can be configured with multiple antenna hopping groups. When a TRX in an antenna hopping group
is faulty, antenna hopping is disabled in the antenna hopping group upon the automatic notification from
the BSC. If the faulty TRX recovers, antenna hopping in the antenna hopping group is enabled again.
l When baseband frequency hopping and antenna hopping are applied at the same time, adhere to the following
principles:
l When baseband FH (or hybrid FH) is configured, antenna hopping group must share the same TRX with
baseband MA group.
l One TRX must belong to the baseband MA group and the antenna hopping group with the same group
number.

working voltages are applied to the TRX power amplifier on the basis of the modulation modes
of the channels to reduce the BTS power consumption.
41.5 Configuring Enhanced BCCH Power Consumption Optimization
This describes how to configure the enhanced BCCH power consumption optimization. The
enhanced BCCH power consumption optimization reduces the BTS power consumption in idle
hours by reducing the power of non-BCCHs on the BCCH TRX, thus reducing the OPEX of the
operators. The time segment and degree of the power reduction are configurable.
41.6 Configuring Active Backup Power Control
This describes how to configure the active backup power control. The BTS uses the configured
battery for power supply when the mains failure occurs. The battery provides a limited capacity.
To prolong the power supply time of the battery, the BSC shuts down certain TRXs or reduces
the maximum transmit power of the TRX to reduce the BTS power consumption. This is called
active backup power control.
41.7 Configuring Multi-Carrier Intelligent Voltage Regulation
This feature monitors the output power of all the carriers within the module. When the total
output power of the power amplifier reduces after the measurement for a period, this feature
adjusts the working voltage of the power amplifier to a lower value according to the related
algorithm. In this way, the power amplifier works with great efficiency after the output power
reduces, thus reducing the power consumption of the TRX.
41.8 Configuring TRX Working Voltage Adjustment
The working voltage of the TRX is always set to a high level to ensure the maximum output
power of the TRX. In actual application, however, the maximum output power of the TRX is
not always required. In this case, if the TRX still works under such a high voltage, extra power
is consumed because a lower working voltage can also provide the required output power. To
reduce the power consumption of the TRX, Huawei developed the function of "TRX Working
Voltage Adjustment" that enables the intelligent adjustment of the TRX working voltage
according to the output power.

When the BSC enables intelligent shutdown of the TRX, the BTS checks only the CS
services. Before configuring Dynamic Close TRX Ampier Power switch on the TRX,
ensure that the TRX meets the following requirements:
The TRX must be the TRX where the non-BCCH is located.
The PDCH does not exist.
Antenna hopping is disabled.
When the main BCCH participates in baseband FH, the function of intelligent shutdown
of TRXs is not supported.
When basband FH is enabled but the main BCCH does not participate in baseband FH, the
TRXs can be shut down only when all the TRXs in the cell (except the main BCCH TRXs)
are idle.
NOTE
During a BTS deployment test, you need to set the parameter Dynamic Open Trx AmpierPower
Switch to NO(No) by running the MOD CELLBASICPARA command.

Scenario
Impact
When the TRX other than the BCCH TRX is idle, the dual-transceiver unit that
houses the BCCH TRX starts working in ICB mode and the capacity of the dualtransceiver unit decreases to one TRX. If the minimum working voltage is
applied to the TRX, the output power of the single power amplifier of the TRX
is decreased to 15 W or 10 W. After the power burst technology (PBT) is enabled
on a TRX, the cabinet-top power of the TRX is the same as the cabinet-top power
provided when the single power amplifier transmits at 60 W or 40 W.

The ICB is applicable to only the double-transceiver TRXs and must be configured as
combining output. The TRXs supporting ICB are DRRU, DRFU, and optimized DTRU.
To implement the intelligent combiner bypass, set TRX Priorityof the TRX that is on the
same double-transceiver unit as the BCCH TRX to a small value. This is to ensure that the
preferred double-transceiver TRX board where the BCCH is located enters the ICB mode
in the same alternative conditions in idle hours, thus reducing the power consumption.
TRX Priority should be used together with the channel management parameter of the cell
Allocation TRX Priority Allowed. The channels can be allocated according to the TRX
priorities only when Allocation TRX Priority Allowed is set to Yes.

automatically shut down under the control of the timer. In addition, the transmit power
of the TRXs is reduced in certain steps.
2.
Turn on the mains power supply switch of the BTS. Verify that the shut-down TRXs
are automatically started up, and all the TRXs normally transmit power.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the MOD TRXDEV command to set Shut
Down Enabled to DISABLE(Disable).

Verifying deactivation of active backup power control: Turn off the mains power
supply switch of the BTS. Then, the BSC shuts down all the TRXs that can be shut
down under the BTS. The power of the remaining TRXs does not change. Then, turn
on the mains power supply switch of the BTS, and verify that the BTS automatically
starts up all the shut-down TRXs.

The tight BCCH frequency reuse technology is applicable to the network with insufficient
frequency resources. It increases the reusability of BCCH frequencies and reduces the number
of frequencies used by the BCCHs. Therefore, more frequencies can be used at the FH layer,
thus improving the system capacity.

You can configure parameters related to Soft-Synchronized Network only by running MML
commands on the local maintenance terminal.
To make best use of the Soft-Synchronized Network technology, comply with the following
rules:
The Soft-Synchronized Network technology is applicable to the tight frequency reuse
scenario.
The distance between BTSs should be shorter than 900 m. A distance of shorter than
800 m is recommended.
The network using the Soft-Synchronized Network technology should be planned in an
continuous coverage area. That is, under a BSC, the continuous coverage area can be
regarded as a to-be-synchronized area.
When the Soft-Synchronized Network technology is used in dual-band networks, the
networks operating at different bands should be separated for synchronization. The
BTSs operating at 900 MHz are grouped together for synchronization, and the BTSs
operating at 1800 MHz are grouped together for synchronization.
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
44-1
44-2
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
Controlling BSC: The BSC that initiates the offset information collection between BSCs
and plays a controlling role in the soft-synchronized network task is called a controlling
BSC.
Collaborating BSC: The BSC that collaborates with the controlling BSC during the softsynchronized network task is referred to as a collaborating BSC.
NOTE
Controlling BSC and collaborating BSC are relative concepts. If the soft-synchronized network task
is implemented between BSC A and reference BSC, the reference BSC is the controlling BSC
whereas BSC A is the collaborating BSC. If the soft-synchronized network task is implemented
between BSC A and a lower-level BSC B, then BSC A is the controlling BSC whereas BSC B is the
collaborating BSC.
Impact
The gain of the radio-related KPIs can be greatly improved. In addition, the
conversion from an asynchronous network to a synchronous network can
effectively reduce the interference on the entire network and expand the network
capacity.
Prerequisite
l
Each BSC should be configured with at least two BTSs. In addition, the BTSs should
support the soft-synchronized network.
Each BTS should be configured with at least two cells. In addition, the longitude, latitude,
and antenna azimuth of each cell should be configured.

The BTSs that serve the configured cells should support soft-synchronized network. If the neighboring cell
list is empty, you must add the pair of neighboring cells starting from the reference BTS. The BTS that
serves the first cell in the pair of neighboring cells should be in the neighboring cell list of the softsynchronized network task.
You can run the DSP NCELLTBL command to query the neighboring cell list composed of the cells and
BTSs that serve the cells.
Prerequisite
l
The neighboring cell relations between the pair of neighboring cells are configured.
The two added cells must be in the same frequency band. If the cell is a concentric cell, the

NOTE
After the Offset Information Collection Switch and Offset Time Adjustment Switch are set to ON
(ON), the BTS offset information are collected and the offset time are adjusted automatically to finish the
soft-synchronized network task. To manually collect the offset information and adjust the offset time, see
44.7 Collecting the Offset Information Between BTSs and 44.8 Synchronizing BTSs.
Step 4 On the Local Maintenance Terminal of the controlling BSC216, run the ADD
CELL2GEXTC command to add a 2G external cell.
NOTE
Configure cell D under the BSC217 as an external cell under the BSC216. Set Cell Index according to the
configured cells.
Step 5 On the Local Maintenance Terminal of the controlling BSC216, run the ADD CELL2GNC
command to add a 2G unidirectional neighboring cell and configure cell D as the neighboring
cell of cell C.
Step 6 On the Local Maintenance Terminal of the controlling BSC216, run the ADD EXTNCELL
command to add a pair of neighboring cells, that is, to make cell C and cell D into a pair. Then,
the task of creating the soft-synchronized network is complete.

Procedure
Step 1 On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the LST AISSCFG command to query the
information about the soft-synchronized network task. Ensure that Support BSC AISS is set to
Yes on the controlling BSC and that the Controlling BSC DPC on the collaborating BSC is the
DPC of the controlling BSC.
Step 2 On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the DSP AISSRUNSTATE command to query the
information about the intra-BSC soft-synchronized network task and check whether the status
of synchronization between the BTSs is normal.
Step 3 On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the DSP BSCSYNCINFO command to query the
offset information about the synchronization between two BSCs.
NOTE
l The status of this BSC is queried if the entered Adjacent BSC DPC is the DPC of the controlling BSC
of this BSC.
l The status of the collaborating BSC is queried if the entered Adjacent BSC DPC is the DPC of the
collaborating BSC of this BSC.
Enter the Adjacent BSC DPC of the collaborating BSC to query the status of the collaborating BSC. At
the initial stage of the task of creating the soft-synchronized network, the BSC Sync State should be
Waiting for Initial Collection.
Step 4 On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the DSP BTSSYNCINFO command to query the
offset information about the BTS. At the initial stage of the task of creating the soft-synchronized
network, BTS Status should be Waiting for Initial Collection.
----End

Optional: If the information collected in step 1 differs greatly from the drive test result,
run the COL SYNCINFO command to recollect Frame Offset [frame No.] and In
Frame Bit Offset [1/8 bit] of two BTSs or cells under the BSC.
NOTE
The two BTSs or cells used in the command should be listed in the neighboring cell list. The
status of the first BTS or cell must be collected or synchronized, and the second BTS or cell
must be the BTS to be collected or the cell under the BTS.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the MOD AISSCFG command. Set Offset
Time Adjustment Switch and Offset Information Collection Switch to ON(ON).
Then, the BSC automatically starts to adjust the BTS time and collect the offset
information.

During the BTS synchronization, call drops may occur. Therefore, you are
advised to synchronize the BTSs when the traffic volume is low.
NOTE
Take BTS1 as the reference BTS and keep the frame number and offset of BTS1 unchanged. Then, adjust
the frame number and offset of BTS2 according to the frame offset and in-frame bit offset of BTS2 relative
to BTS1 to synchronize BTS2 with BTS1.

The A over IP is used for signaling and CS signals transmission in the BSS
system.
Impact
None.
Prerequisite
l
Activate the license on the Local Maintenance Terminal. For details, see Activate BSC
License.
The BSC supports communication through the device IP address or port IP address.
When the device IP address is used for communication, the peer device should be
configured with the static route to the IP address of the BSC even if the BSC is directly
connected to the peer device. When the port IP address is used for communication, the
static route is not required.
The A/Abis interface board can be configured with only one device IP address. The Gb
interface board can be configured with up to five device IP addresses.
The Abis over IP supports only IPv4. When the BSC is directly connected to the MSC or
MGW or the network is in Layer 2 topology, the BSC should be configured with the route
to the peer device even if the IP address of the MSC or MGW is on the same network
segment with the port IP address of the BSC.
When the A interface is directly connected to the BSC, the BSC must be configured with
the route to the MGW.
Preparation
Except for different configuration parameters between the GFGUA and GOGUA, the procedures
for configuring the GFGUA and GOGUA are the same. The following procedure is an example
46-16
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
of configuring the GFGUAs in active/standby mode in the GMPS subrack. For the configuration
data, see 46.1 A over IP Configuration Data.
Procedure
Step 1 Configure BSC attributes.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the MOD BSCBASIC command and set Service
mode to AIP(AIP).
Step 2 Configure the BSC clock.
NOTE
In A over IP mode, the clock source of the BSC can be only a BITS clock. The BITS clock is obtained
from the BITS device. It is classified into the 2 MHz clock and 2 Mbit/s clock. It has two input modes:
BITS0 and BITS1. The BSC obtains the BITS clock from the input port of synchronous clock signals on
the GGCU to provide the reference clock for the GMPS/GEPS.
1.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the ADD CLKSRC command to configure the
system clock.
2.
Run the MOD SCUCLK command and configure the 8 kHz reference clock for the GMPS.
3.
Run the MOD SCUCLK command and configure the 8 kHz reference clock for the GEPS.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the ADD M3LE command to configure the
local entity.
2.
If there is no direct physical link between the local entity and the destination entity, the transfer entity
must be configured. When configuring the destination entity, you need to set Using STP to YES
(Yes).
3.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the ADD BRD command to add the GFGUA.
Set Back Type to OUTSHARE(LoadShare Mode) or OUTPEER(Active/Standby
Mode) to enhance the networking reliability.
2.
Run the SET ETHPORTPROP command and set Port Type to configure the port attribute
of the GFGUA.
NOTE
l If the FE transmission is used, one GFGUA can be configured with eight ports numbered from
zero to seven.
l If the GE transmission is used, one GFGUA can be configured with two ports numbered zero
and four.
l If the GE transmission is used, one GOGUA can be configured with two ports numbered zero
and one.
3.
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
Run the SET ITFIPTYPE command and set A-interface Communication IP type. If the
communication type is PORTIP(PORT IP), go to Step 5.5.

4.
The device IP address is the logical IP address used for communication. The address is valid for all
the ports on the board. The active and standby interface boards must be configured with the same IP
address.
5.
The following two methods implement the separation between signaling and traffic data over the A
interface on the bearer network.
l The signaling and traffic data are mapped to different VPNs through different ports to implement
their separation on the bearer network.
l Configure several IP address index, that is, several IP addresses are configured to each port.
Different IP addresses are mapped to different VPNs, thus implementing the separation between
signaling and traffic data on the bearer network.
The principles of configuring the port IP address are as follows:
l The IP address of the port and that of the device must be on different network segments.
l Each port can be configured with six IP addresses and all IP addresses of each port must be
configured on different network segments.
l In active/standby mode, the IP addresses of related ports must be configured on the same network
segment. In load sharing mode, if the BSC performs communication through device IP addresses,
then the two boards for load sharing must use the same device IP address. Regardless of whether
device IP addresses or port IP addresses are used for communication, port IP addresses must be
on different network segments.
6.
Run the ADD IPRT command and configure the BSC route.
NOTE
46-18
1.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the ADD M3LKS command to configure the
M3UA link set.
2.
3.
Run the ADD M3LNK command and configure the M3UA link to achieve the
configuration of the IP transmission over the A interface.
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
NOTE
l When the device IP mode is used over the A interface, the M3UA link can be configured only
when the device IP address is configured. In addition, First Local IP Address is the device IP
address of the interface board, and Second Local IP Address is optional. But if the SCTP multihoming function is required, Second Local IP Address must be set to the device IP address, and
First Local IP Address and Second Local IP Address must be on different network segments.
l When the port IP mode is used over the A interface, the M3UA link can be configured only when
the device IP address is configured. In addition, First Local IP Address can be selected from
the list of port IP addresses of the interface boards, and Second Local IP Address is optional.
But if the SCTP multi-homing function is required, Second Local IP Address must be set to the
port IP address, and First Local IP Address and Second Local IP Address must be on different
network segments.
The networking reliability can be guaranteed by configuring the back type over the A interface. Besides,
the system must detect the fault when the link or the board is faulty to prevent the services from disruption.
The BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) and ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) are used for link
detection.
When one GFGUA or GOGUA board is configured in the BSC (independent mode), the BFD and ARP
function are not enabled because the board itself can automatically detect faults to guarantee the networking
reliability.
One physical port supports only one type of link detection. Configure the BFD or ARP according to the
capability of the equipment at both ends and the requirement of networking reliability.
1.
For the configuration of the BFD detection over the A interface, the BFD session is setup
only when two ends of the link support the BFD and the parameters at two ends are
consistent.
Run the ADD BFD command to configure the BFD detection on the BSC side.
NOTE
If Back Type of the BSC is set to OUTPEER(Active/Standby Mode) and the standby board enables
the BFD or ARP detection, Peer Standby Board IP need to be configured.
The principles of configuring the BFD detection are as follows:
l Port No. must be the number of the port that is configured with an IP address.
l Peer IP must be different from the device IP address and the port IP address.
2.
Configure the traffic shaping for the physical port to restrict the burst flow in the network.
Run the SET QOSPROP command. Set Shaping Enable to YES(Yes) and set Shaping
BandWidth[32K] to specify the data rate.
2.
The BSC maps the data onto different Differentiated Services Code Points (DSCPs) or different
VLAN priorities and VLAN IDs.
The network device of layer three maps different DSCPs to different Per-Hop Behaviors (PHBs); the
network device of layer two performs QoS scheduling based on the VLAN priority.
l Run the SET DSCPMAP command to configure the mapping between the DSCP and
the VLAN priority.
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
46-19
l Run the ADD IPVLANMAP command to configure the mapping between the IP and
the VLAN. The Destination IP Address and the port IP address must be on the same
network segment.
l Run the SET SRVVLANMAP command and set VLAN ID, PHB, and DSCP related
to the service type over the A interface to achieve their mapping. You should configure
the mapping between DSCP and VLAN priority to implement the mapping between the
service priorities at the network layer and the service priorities at the data link layer. If
VLAN Flag is set to ENABLE(Enable), the QoS scheduling is performed according
to the VLAN priority. Otherwise, the QoS scheduling is performed according to the
DSCP.
3.
Congestion management.
Congestion occurs when the data arrive at the port at a higher rate than the data sending
rate of the port. The Priority Queue (PQ) and Weighted Round Robin (WRR) techniques
of queue scheduling can be used to solve the congestion problem.
Run the SET QOSPROP command and set Queue Display Type to REJECT or Weighted
Random Early Detection (WRED) to manage the congestion.

Verifying A over IP
1.
Verify that the physical links on the A interface is normal. For details, see Verifying
the Physical Links on the A Interface (A over IP) in the BSC Commissioning Guide.
2.
Verify that the control plane on the A interface is normal. For details, see Verifying
the Control Plane on the A Interface (A over IP) in the BSC Commissioning Guide.
The Abis over IP is used for signaling and CS signals transmission in the BSS
system.
Impact
None.
Prerequisite
l
Activate the license on the Local Maintenance Terminal. For details, see Activate BSC
License.
The BSC supports communication through the device IP address or port IP address.
When the device IP address is used for communication, the peer device should be
configured with the static route to the IP address of the BSC even if the BSC is directly
connected to the peer device. When the port IP address is used for communication, the
static route is not required.
The A/Abis interface board can be configured with only one device IP address. The Gb
interface board can be configured with up to five device IP addresses.
The BFD is supported by only 3012 series base stations. It is not supported by 3900 series
base stations.
The Abis over IP supports only the built-in PCU and BTS star topology. It does not support
the HubBTS and TDM/IP hybrid transport.
For a layer 2 topology in Abis over IP, the BSC and BTS directly start BFD to perform link
detection. In this scenario, the BTS cannot use the device IP address for communication.
Preparation
Except for different configuration parameters between the GFGUB and GOGUB, the procedures
for configuring the GFGUB and GOGUB are the same. The following procedure is an example
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
46-21
of configuring two GFGUBs in the GMPS subrack. For the configuration data, see 46.2 Abis
over IP Configuration Data.
Procedure
Step 1 Configure BSC attributes.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the SET ITFIPTYPE command to set Abisinterface Communication IP type.
Step 2 Configure the GFGUB/GOGUB.
1.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the ADD BRD command to add the GFGUB.
Set Back Type to OUTSHARE(LoadShare Mode) or OUTPEER(Active/Standby
Mode) to enhance the networking reliability.
2.
Run the SET ETHPORTPROP command and set Port Type to configure the port attribute
of the GFGUB.
NOTE
l If the FE transmission is used, one GFGUB can be configured with eight ports numbered from
zero to seven.
l If the GE transmission is used, one GFGUB can be configured with two ports numbered zero
and four.
l If the GE transmission is used, one GOGUB can be configured with two ports numbered zero
and one.
3.
Run the SET ITFIPTYPE command and set Abis-interface Communication IP type. If
the communication type is PORTIP(PORT IP), go to Step 2.5.
4.
The device IP address is the logical IP address used for communication. The address is valid for all
the ports on the board. The active and standby interface boards must be configured with the same IP
address.
5.
6.
46-22
Run the ADD IPRT command and configure the BSC route.
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
NOTE
The reliability of the Abis over IP networking is the same as that of the A over IP. For details, see the
Configure the reliability mechanism for the A interface. in the 46.4 Configuring A over IP.
1.
The BFD detection over the Abis interface requires the support of the BTS and BSC. On
the BTS side, set parameters corresponding to the BSC. When the parameters of both sides
are consistent, the BFD session can be established.
a.
Run the ADD BFD command and configure the BFD link detection on the BSC side.
b.
Run the ADD BTSBFD command and configure the BFD link detection on the BTS
side.
NOTE
When the BSC enables the OUTPEER(Active/Standby Mode) networking mode and the BFD or
ARP link detection is enabled on the standby board, set Peer Standby Board IP.
The principles of configuring the BFD link detection are as follows:
l Port No. must be the number of the port that is configured with an IP address.
l Peer IP must be different from the device IP address and the port IP address.
2.
Step 4 Configure the Clock Over IP and configure the clock synchronization information of the IP
transmission network.
Run the MOD IPCLKSRV command. Set Clock Synchronization Mode to CONSYN
(Consecutive Synchronizing) or INTERSYN(Intermittent Synchronizing) to configure the
synchronization mode between IP Clock Server and IP Clock Client. The IP Clock Server obtains
the clock source from other devices and sends the clock synchronization messages to the BTS
(IP Clock Client) through the IP network.
l In consecutive synchronizing mode, the BTS works as the Client of Clock over IP to send
datagram continuously for clock synchronization.
l In intermittent synchronizing mode, the BTS works as the Client of Clock over IP and keep
the clock synchronization with the Server according to Interim Synchronization Period
[Day], Interval Synchronization Start Time[Hour], and Interval Synchronization Start
Time[Minute].
Step 5 Configure the QoS mechanism of the Abis interface.
1.
Configure the traffic shaping for the physical port to restrict the burst flow in the network.
Run the SET QOSPROP command. Set Shaping Enable to YES(Yes) and set Shaping
BandWidth[32K] to specify the data rate.
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
46-23
2.
The BSC maps the data onto different Differentiated Services Code Points (DSCPs) or different
VLAN priorities and VLAN IDs.
The network device of layer three maps different DSCPs to different Per-Hop Behaviors (PHBs); the
network device of layer two performs QoS scheduling based on the VLAN priority.
l Run the SET DSCPMAP command to configure the mapping between the DSCP and
the VLAN priority.
l Run the ADD IPVLANMAP command to configure the mapping between the IP and
the VLAN. The Destination IP Address and the port IP address must be on the same
network segment.
l Run the SET SRVVLANMAP command and set VLAN ID, PHB, and DSCP related
to the service type over the A interface to achieve their mapping. You should configure
the mapping between DSCP and VLAN priority to implement the mapping between the
service priorities at the network layer and the service priorities at the data link layer. If
VLAN Flag is set to ENABLE(Enable), the QoS scheduling depends on the VLAN
priority. Otherwise, the QoS scheduling depends on the DSCP.
l Run the MOD BTSVLAN command and perform the service schedule in the
transmission network according to different DSCP, VLANID, VLANPRI of different
Service Type. The services and signaling can be logically separated according to
VLANID, thus enhancing the security of the network. The parameters must be
consistent with those on the BSC side.
3.
The IP PATH is a logical link with virtual bandwidth, which is carried on the physical port, logical port,
or resource groups to achieve multi-level admission control. The admission control for the MS is based on
the following parameters: Local Class Transport Resource Bandwidth[kbps], Reserved Bandwidth
Threshold[%], Congestion Bandwidth Threshold[%], and Congestion Clear Bandwidth Threshold
[%].
1.
l One Logical Port No. is configured for one BSC board and Physical Port No. specifies the
physical port carried by the logical port.
l Set Reserved Bandwidth Threshold[%] > Congestion Bandwidth Threshold[%] >
Congestion Clear Bandwidth Threshold[%] to implement two-level admission control.
That is, the services must be controlled when the services access through the IP PATH and
logical port.
46-24
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
l If Is First Class Transport Resource Group is set to NO(No), Upper Class Transport
Resource Group No. must be identified to perform multi-level admission control. The group
number of the upper class transport resource must be different from that of the lower class
transport resource.
l A maximum of five levels can be configured for the transport resource group.
l When multi-level resource group is configured, the upper-level transport resource bandwidth
cannot be higher than the local-level transport resource bandwidth.
l Set Local Class Transport Resource Bandwidth[kbps] and set Reserved Bandwidth
Threshold[%]>Congestion Bandwidth Threshold[%]>Congestion Clear Bandwidth
Threshold[%] to configure the bandwidth and threshold of resource groups. Then, two-level
admission control can be implemented. That is, the services must be controlled when the
services access through the IP PATH and logical port.
2.
3.
The Abis MUX technology is used to multiplex several packets into one packet. Then, the efficiency of
the IP transmission over the Abis interface is improved. The packets with the same attributes can be
multiplexed. That is, only the packets that have the same source IP addresses, destination IP address, and
DSCP value can be multiplexed into one packet.
1.
Run the SET BSCABISMUXPARA command and set ABIS-MUX Global Enable
Flag to ENABLE(Enable).
2.
Run the ADD BSCABISMUXFLOW command and set Service Type for the BTS. Then
the packets with the same source IP addresses, destination IP address, and service type can

Run the MOD PTUPARA command and set ABIS-MUX Global Enable Flag to
ENABLE(Enable).
4.
Run the SET OTHSOFTPARA command and set LAPD window adjust switch to ALLOW
(Allow) to start the LAPD optimization.
Step 9 Configure the IP Performance Monitor (IP PM).
NOTE
The IP PM monitors the transmission network by rapidly detecting the QoS of the intermediate network.
This function requires the support of the BTS and BSC. Set BTS Index to specify a BTS detected by the
IP PM.
When an IP PM session is activated, the sending end sends the FM message periodically and then determines
the packet loss based on the BR message received from the receiving end. The length of the period is
determined by IPPM Packet Send Period[100ms].
l Run the ADD IPPM command and set Direction to DOWN. Then, perform the IP PM function from
the BSC to the BTS.
l Run the ADD IPPM command and set Direction to UP. Then, perform the IP PM function from the
BTS to the BSC.
If the external device frequently pings the BTS, the BTS responds to the ping requests. The BTS may break
down if it is pinged a lot. This is called ping attack, which belongs to DOS attack.
Run the MOD PTUPARA command. If BTS Ping Switch is set to ON(On), the BTS receives
all ping packets; if the parameter is set to OFF(Off), the BTS discards all ping packets.

Configuring IBCA
Prerequisite
l
Activate the license on the Local Maintenance Terminal. For details, see Activate BSC
License.
To enable the IBCA algorithm, the GXPUI should be added to the BSC. The GXPUI is
used to estimate the interference experienced by each idle channel in every channel
assignment procedure and the interference of a new call to established calls on the same
timeslot in the IBCA neighboring cells.
To enable the inter-BSC IBCA algorithm, the GFGUB or GOGUB should be added to the
BSC. The GFGUB or GOGUB is used to establish a communication link to transfer the
related information about the IBCA algorithm between BSCs.
Context
Purpose
IBCA is applied to the network in which frequency resources are insufficient and thus the same
frequency is repeatedly used in neighboring cells. In this case, the severe inter-cell interference
cannot be solved even if the frequency hopping is used. In this network, the bottleneck that
restricts the network capacity is not the interference (link quality) but the channel number.
In this situation, the C/I ratios of idle channels need to be estimated. The channels that the C/I
ratios meet the requirements of calls are assigned to the calls. In addition, there is no unfavorable
influence on the established call after a new call is established. This channel assignment
algorithm is called interference based channel assignment (IBCA).
IBCA algorithm has a remarkable effect on improving the utilization of frequency resources and
expanding the network capacity.
Issue 02 (2010-09-20)
51-1
51 Configuring IBCA
Working Principle
Considering the inter-channel interference, the IBCA requests that the interference of the
assigned channel on the calls in the same timeslot should be minimized. In addition, the
interference of the calls in the same timeslot on the assigned channel should also be minimized.
The IBCA algorithm is compatible with the existing channel assignment mechanism. That is,
the optimal channel is selected on the basis of channel priorities.
In the synchronization and cyclic frequency hopping network, the inter-site interference relations
can be predicted. Thus, the C/I ratio of the new call established on the idle channel can be
predicted. In addition, the influence of the new call on the established call can be estimated. On
this basis, the MAIO and the idle channel that meets the requirements of the new call and has
the least impact on the established call can be selected. The Um interface synchronization is
required to use the IBCA algorithm. The Um interface synchronization involves the Um interface
software synchronization and GPS synchronization, either of synchronization modes can be
adopted.
The IBCA algorithm switch is a cell-level parameter. For cells that enable the IBCA algorithm,
the IBCA algorithm needs to calculate the intra-cell and inter-cell interference between channels
in the same timeslot. If the two cells that exist the interference relations are distributed in two
BSCs, the inter-BSC communication interface is required to send the information about the
interference calculation of related cells to the corresponding BSC.
Hardware Configuration
As the IBCA module involves many calculations, the load of CPU0 increases greatly and thus
affects normal working of the BSC if this module is placed in CPU0. Therefore, two GXPUIs
are added in the BSC, which perform most calculations of the IBCA module.
Configuring IBCA involves configuring the GXPUI, configuring the TRX that supports the
IBCA algorithm, and configuring the cell that supports the IBCA algorithm.

51 Configuring IBCA
Network planning should be performed in the cell where IBCA is to be implemented before
the implementation of IBCA.
The number of IBCA neighboring cells should be planned for the cell.
The MAIO, MA group, and number of different frequency bands to which the
frequencies in the MA group belong should be planned for the cell.
In a cell where the IBCA algorithm is enabled, if IBCA Dynamic Measure Neighbor Cell
Allowed is set to YES(Yes), IBCA Waiting Measurement Report Time must be smaller
than Min Interval for Consecutive Hos and Min Interval for Emerg.Hos.
If the cell with the IBCA enabled is already configured with the IBCA neighboring cell,
and if the parameter IBCA Dynamic Measure Neighbor Cell Allowed is set to YES
(Yes), the EMR function cannot be enabled in the cell simultaneously.
In the IBCA cell, only one MA group can be configured in each timeslot and each frequency.
In the Co-BCCH cell, two MA groups can be configured (each frequency band for one MA
group).
For the BSC enabled with the IBCA algorithm, the number of MA tables used in an IBCA
cell group must not exceed three.
The number of frequencies in the MA table for the cell where the IBCA algorithm is enabled
must not exceed 12.
The number of IBCA neighboring cells of a cell must not exceed 12.
The number of neighboring BSCs of a BSC on which the inter-BSC IBCA algorithm is
enabled must not exceed 16.
The IBCA algorithm only applies to the assignment of channels on the TRXs involved in
FH.
The Huawei III power control algorithm must be enabled in the cell where the IBCA
algorithm is to be enabled.
The active power control algorithm is not allowed to be enabled in the IBCA cell. IBCA
uses its own power prediction algorithm to perform the initial power prediction.
Neither Flex MAIO nor Flex TSC can be enabled in the IBCA cell.
In RF FH mode, preferentially use the fixed MAIOs in the frequency planning for the
configured SDCCHs. For the SDCCHs dynamically converted from the TCHs, use the
MAIOs dynamically allocated by the IBCA. These MAIOs cannot be dynamically allocated
to other MSs that use the same timeslots in the cell.
In IBCA cell, the static PDTCHs that are on the same TRX and use the same MA group
must be configured with the same MAIO.
In IBCA cell, the PDTCH and SDCCH that are on the same TRX and use the same MA
group must be configured with the same MAIO.

53 Configure DTM
53
Configure DTM
Dual Transfer Mode (DTM) is a 3GPP-defined standard function. This feature implements the
simplified operation function of the class A mobile phone, that is, concurrent CS services and
PS services. DTM allows simultaneous transfer of CS service and PS service. That is, a
subscriber can send photos or browse websites during a call. The 3G network provides concurrent
CS service and PS service. With DTM, the subscribers in a GSM network can enjoy services
similar to those provided in a 3G network. In addition, in areas with insufficient 3G coverage,
subscribers can use the services that are similar to 3G services through the 2G network.
Scenario
supports concurrent CS service and PS service. That is, a subscriber can provide
PS service without disrupting the CS service.
Impact
In DTM, NC2 is not supported because GPRS measurement reports are not
reported.
If DTM is enabled in a cell and the parameter Network Operation Mode
of the GPRS attributes is not set to Network Operation Mode I, the A
Interface Collaboration Paging Switch should be set to Open so that the
network can page the MSs in packet transfer mode successfully.
Prerequisite
l
Activate the license on the Local Maintenance Terminal. For details, see Activate BSC
License.
DTM requires the support of the BSC, MS, MSC, and SGSN. In addition, the MSC must
support the COMMON ID message.
DTM is used in built-in PCU configuration mode rather than in external PCU configuration
mode.
In an extended cell, DTM is not supported due to the limitation of the MS multislot
capability.
After a cell is enabled with DTM, it is recommended that the early classmark sending
control (ECSC) be set to Yes.

A Interface Collaboration Paging Switch must be set to Open, and BSS Paging
Coordination must be set to Yes, For details, see 14 Configuring BSS Paging

Configuring VGCS/VBS
This describes how to configure the VGCS/VBS. Compared with the original GSM system, the
GSM-R has new features, such as the Voice Group Call Service (VGCS), Voice Broadcast
Service (VBS), and enhanced Multi-Level Precedence and Pre-emption (eMLPP) service. The
GSM-R can provide diversified voice dispatch services required in the private network.
Scenario
Impact
None.
Preparation
The cell does not support the VGCS/VBS by default, that is, the default value of NCH Occupy
Block Number is 0. Set NCH Occupy Block Number and NCH Start Block to configure the
VGCS/VBS. When NCH Occupy Block Number is not 0, the BSC initiates the NCH messages
to the MS in system information type 1. The MS initiates a VGCS/VBS call after receiving the
message indicating that the system supports the VGCS/VBS.

Step 1 Configure the VGCS/VBS.
1.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the LST CELLGSMR command. Query the
initial configuration of the VGCS/VBS of the current cell according to the index type. If
NCH Occupy Block Number is set to 0, the current cell does not support the VGCS/VBS.
2.
On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run the MOD CELLGSMR command. Set NCH
Occupy Block Number and NCH Start Block and run the command. Then, the BSC
initiates a message to an MS. After receiving the message, the MS initiates a VGCS or VBS
call in the group where the MS belongs.
NOTE
NCH Occupy Block Number must not be 0. The number of NCH Occupy Block Number plus
NCH Start Block must be smaller than or equal to the number of Number of CCCH blocks reserved
for the AGCH. Run the LST CELLIDLEBASIC command to query the number of Number of
CCCH blocks reserved for the AGCH.

Configuring AMR
The adaptive multi rate (AMR) is a speech encoding and decoding algorithm, which can be
adjusted between full-rate speech version 3 and half-rate speech version 3 specified by the
protocol. With AMR, the BTS and the MS can evaluate the interference on the radio network
according to the measurements such as receive level, receive quality, and carrier-to-interference
(C/I) ratio, and then adjust the voice encoding rate accordingly. In this way, both the antiinterference capability of the radio communications system and the voice quality are improved.
Scenario
The AMR function is used to balance the voice quality and the system capacity.

Procedure
Step 1 On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run theMOD BTSMPMODE command to set
Multiplexing Mode to MODE1_1 or MODE2_1.
Step 2 On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run theMOD CELLCCACCESS command to set
Speech Version to Half_rate_Ver1(Half-rate Ver 1).
Step 3 On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run theMOD CHAN command. Then, set Channel
Type according to the network condition.
NOTE
Step 4 On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run theMOD TRXDEV command to set TCH Rate
Adjust Allow to YES(YES).
NOTE
If a TRX does not have TCHHs and only has TCHFs, TCH Rate Adjust Allow needs to be enabled to
support the half-rate service.
For a TRX whose TCH Rate Adjust Allow is not enabled, channels on the TRX are assigned preferably.
Therefore, the channels on the TRXs that support the rate adjustment can be reserved for further use. The
resources can be used maximally.
Step 5 On the Local Maintenance Terminal, run theMOD CELLCHMGAD command to set TCH
Traffic Busy Threshold to 50.If the value of this parameter exceeds 50, the channel will be
converted from the TCHF to the TCHH.
NOTE
In channel assignment algorithms, the BSC determines to assign TCHHs or TCHFs based on the traffic
volume of the network. If the channel seizure rate exceeds the TCH Traffic Busy Threshold, it indicates
that the traffic volume of the current network is high. If the network is busy, TCHHs are assigned preferably.
If the network is not busy, TCHFs are assigned preferably.

NOTE
l Edge handover: The edge handover is the handover based on level for avoiding call drops. When an
edge handover is triggered, the level of the target cell must be higher than the level of the serving cell
and the inter-cell handover hysterisis. The edge handover is triggered when the receive level of the
serving cell is lower than the edge handover threshold, and when the P/N criterion is satisfied during
a certain statistical period. In this manner, the communication quality of the MS is maintained to some
extent.
l TA handover: TA can be used as a standard of restricting the size of a cell. When the BSC determines
that the TA of an MS exceeds the specified maximum TA threshold, a TA handover is triggered. If a
serving cell meets the requirement for a TA handover, the serving cell is punished after the handover
is complete. In this manner, the handover to the serving cell due to other causes is prevented. To meet
the special requirements of an extended cell, special processing is performed on the TA handover
algorithm.
l BQ handover: The bit error ratio (BER) reflects the transmission quality of radio links. The BSC
measures the transmission quality of radio links according to the quality level in the measurement
report. A poor quality level may be caused by low signal power or inter-channel interference. When
the receive quality of the serving cell is lower than the BQ handover threshold, the BQ handover
algorithm is enabled to maintain the communication quality of the MS. If a serving cell meets the
requirement for a BQ handover, the serving cell is punished after the handover is complete. In this
manner, the handover to the serving cell due to other causes is prevented.
l Interference handover: When the receive level of a serving cell is good but the receive quality
deteriorates, the interference handover algorithm is enabled to maintain the communication quality of
the MS.
