DTM Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
In UMTS networks, circuit switched (CS) and packet switched (PS) services are processed in
parallel, such as web browsing during a call. As defined in 3GPP Technical Specifications,
DTM is used to support simultaneous CS and PS services in GSM or Enhanced Data rates for
GSM Evolution (EDGE) networks. The DTM feature has been introduced in GSM networks
to provide services similar to those provided by UMTS networks (3G-like services), attract
more subscribers, and increase the average revenue per user (ARPU) for operators.

GSM BSS
DTM Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
DTM is a standard function defined in 3GPP Technical Specifications and is applicable to
class A MSs in GSM networks. DTM supports dual transfer mode in addition to dedicated
mode, idle mode, packet idle mode, and packet transfer mode. A DTM-capable MS can have
simultaneous CS and PS connections and process CS and PS services simultaneously.
Subscribers can therefore send images or browse web pages during a call.
2.2 Benefits
In UMTS networks, CS and PS services are processed in parallel. DTM enables GSM
subscribers to enjoy services similar to those provided by UMTS networks. In addition, a
GSM network can supplement a UMTS network in terms of coverage. Based on common
DTM, Class 11 DTM doubles the uplink rate. Based on common DTM, HMC DTM triples
the uplink and downlink rates.
After DTM is enabled, the following applications can be introduced to create new revenue
streams for GSM operators:
l Videophone
Subscribers can enjoy uninterrupted data services, for which guaranteed bit rates (GBRs)
are ensured, during a speech service.
l Watching or downloading streaming programs
Speech interaction or answering a call is now possible during web browsing. Subscribers
may require circuit switched (CS) services while watching streaming programs. With
DTM enabled, CS services can be performed without interrupting the streaming
programs.
l Sending images or videos during a call

3 Technical Description
3.1 DTM Multislot Capability

The DTM multislot capabilities are independent of the currently defined 3GPP TS 45.002
multislot capabilities. Different MSs may have different DTM capabilities. When EGPRS or
EGPRS2 is supported, the DTM multislot capability for EGPRS or EGPRS2 operation is
indicated separately from the DTM multislot capability for GPRS operation. According to
3GPP TS 43.055, the DTM multislot classes are classes 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 31-33, 36-38, and
41-44, and class 31 and higher classes are called HMC DTM. The higher the DTM multislot
classes supported by the MSs and network devices, the higher the uplink and downlink data
rates that can be supported.
Incremental support is defined in the protocol to reduce the length of coding. With this
support, an MS that supports a certain multislot class supports the less restrictive DTM
multislot classes. Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2 describes the incremental support of DTM
multislot classes and HMC DTM multislot classes, respectively. The blue boxes indicate the
DTM multislot classes, and the arrow indicates the compatibility direction. For example, if an
MS supports class 11, the MS must support classes 10, 9, 6, and 5. If an MS supports class 33,
the MS must support classes 32, 31, 11, 10, 9, 6 and 5.

NOTE
In Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2:

l Rx: Maximum number of downlink timeslots for a multislot class
l Tx: Maximum number of uplink timeslots for a multislot class
l Sum: Maximum number of concurrent uplink and downlink timeslots for a multislot class
Huawei BSCs differentiate channel allocation depending on DTM multislot classes:
l DTM channel allocation: intended for classes 5, 6, 9, and 10

l Class 11 DTM channel allocation
l HMC DTM channel allocation: intended for classes 31, 32, and 33
DTM Channel Allocation

When SUPPORTDTM(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to SUPPORT(Support), the BSC can
allocate channels to MSs of DTM multislot classes 5, 6, 9, and 10. Class 6 maps onto DTM
classes 5. Class 10 and higher map onto DTM class 9.
For an MS of DTM class 5, the BSC can allocate only one PDCH on the uplink or downlink,
that is, TCH + 1 PDCH (uplink) + 1 PDCH (downlink).
For an MS of DTM class 9, the BSC can allocate a maximum of two PDCHs on the downlink,
that is, TCH + 1 PDCH (uplink) + 2 PDCHs (downlink).
TCH refers to traffic channels and PDCH refers to packet data channels.
Figure 3-3 shows the DTM multislot models for classes 5, 6, 9, and 10.

GSM BSS
Figure 3-3 DTM Multislot models for classes 5, 6, 9, and 10
Class 11 DTM Channel Allocation

When CLASS11DTM(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to SUPPORT(Support), the BSC can
allocate channels to MSs of DTM multislot class 11. In addition to DTM multislot models for
classes 5 and 9, an MS of DTM class 11 supports the following channel combination: TCH
+ 1 PDCH (downlink) + 2 PDCHs (uplink). An MS of DTM multislot class 11 better supports
uplink-preferred services, such as uploading videos for sharing.
Figure 3-4 shows the DTM multislot models for class 11.
Figure 3-4 DTM multislot models for class 11 (uplink preferred services with the EDA
feature enabled)
NOTE
After the EDA feature is enabled, the network allocates multiple uplink timeslots to an MS, and the MS
monitors all the PDCHs corresponding to the allocated timeslots. If the MS detects that an uplink state
flag (USF) is allocated to itself on an allocated PDCH, the MS can use the uplink blocks corresponding
to this PDCH and other allocated PDCHs with larger timeslot numbers.
The DTM multislot models for class 11 are the same as those for classes 9 and 10 when any
of the following conditions is met:
l Downlink-preferred services are performed.

l Neutral services are performed.
l The EDA feature is disabled.

GSM BSS
HMC DTM Channel Allocation

Class 31 and higher are called HMC DTM. When HMCDTM(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to
SUPPORT(Support),the BSC can allocate channels to HMC DTM services. An MS in a call
can occupy a maximum of three PDCHs on either the uplink or the downlink. That is, the
channels allocated to the MS can be TCH + 3 PDCHs (downlink) + 1 PDCH (uplink) or TCH
+ 1 PDCH (downlink) + 3 PDCHs (uplink).
Figure 3-5 shows the DTM multislot models for class 31.
Figure 3-5 DTM multislot models for class 31
Figure 3-6 shows the DTM multislot models for classes 32 and 33.
Figure 3-6 DTM multislot models for classes 32 and 33 (uplink preferred services with the
EDA feature enabled)
The DTM multislot models for classes 32 and 33 are the same as those for class 31 when any
of the following conditions is met:
l Downlink-preferred services are performed.

l Neutral services are performed.
l The EDA feature is disabled.
3.2 DTM Channel Allocation Algorithm

With DTM, the BSC can allocate channels to an MS in the combination TCH/F+PDCH or
TCH/H+PDCH, where TCH/H refers to half-rate TCHs, and TCH/F refers to full-rate TCHs.
Channel allocation in DTM mode must be in compliance with the DTM multislot capability
of an MS. DTM CS services can adopt any of the supported speech coding schemes.

GSM BSS
After obtaining the DTM multislot capability of an MS, the BSC allocates channels to the MS
based on the following principles:
l The BSC chooses dynamic or static PDCHs and their adjacent TCHs as a candidate
channel group according to the DTM multislot capability of the MS. Even if the number
of PDCHs in the channel group does not meet the DTM multislot capability, the BSC
still regards the channel group as a candidate channel group. TCHs in the candidate
channel group can be idle or occupied by MSs that will enter DTM mode.
l If the BSC finds occupied TCHs and their adjacent available PDCHs, the BSC
preferentially allocates these TCHs and PDCHs to the MS.
l If the BSC finds only idle TCHs and their adjacent PDCHs, the BSC preferentially
allocates the channel group with the most PDCHs. If an MS is processing CS services
before entering DTM mode, the BSC transfers the ongoing CS services to idle TCHs by
using the DTM assignment procedure rather than the handover procedure.
l If DTMOptiSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON(On) and adjacent PDCHs do not
meet the DTM multislot capability or no PDCH is adjacent to TCHs, the BSC
dynamically converts idle TCHs to PDCHs. The BSC then allocates the PDCHs that
meet the DTM multislot capability to the MS for DTM services.
If multiple channel groups meet the DTM multislot capability, the BSC preferentially
allocates the TCH occupied by the MS and PDCHs adjacent to this TCH.
l When DTMOptiSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON(On), the BSC allocates
channels for DTM services according to the policies specified by the
DTMCSAllocPolicy(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter. The weights of factors indicated by
the values of DTMCSAllocPolicy(BSC6900,BSC6910) are as follows:
– DTMMULTI(Allocation): Multislot capability requirement of DTM PS services >
Capacity requirement of DTM CS services > Quality requirement of DTM CS
services > Management requirement of DTM CS services
– CAPACITY(Capacity): Capacity requirement of DTM CS services > Multislot
capability requirement of DTM PS services > Quality requirement of DTM CS
– QUALITY(Quality): Quality requirement of DTM CS services > Capacity
requirement of DTM CS services > Multislot capability requirement of DTM PS
– MANAGEMENT1(Management 1): Management requirement of DTM CS
services > Multislot capability requirement of DTM PS services > Capacity
requirement of DTM CS services > Quality requirement of DTM CS services
– MANAGEMENT2(Management 2): Management requirement of DTM CS
services > Capacity requirement of DTM CS services > Quality requirement of
DTM CS services > Multislot capability requirement of DTM PS services
l When DTMOptiSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON(On), the BSC preferentially
allocates TCH/Hs or TCH/Fs for DTM services according to the policies specified by the
DTMCSVersionPolicy(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter. If the BSC preferentially
allocates TCH/Hs for DTM services, the DTM service capacity can be improved. If the
BSC preferentially allocates TCH/Fs for DTM services, the speech quality of DTM
services can be ensured. If the policies specified by
DTMCSVersionPolicy(BSC6900,BSC6910) conflict with those specified by other
parameters, the BSC follows the policies specified by other parameters. For example, if
the core network does not support TCH/Hs but
DTMCSVersionPolicy(BSC6900,BSC6910) specifies that TCH/Hs are preferred, the
configuration of DTMCSVersionPolicy(BSC6900,BSC6910) does not take effect. If

GSM BSS
TCH/Hs are required to improve cell capacity but

DTMCSVersionPolicy(BSC6900,BSC6910) specifies that TCH/Fs are preferred, the
configuration of DTMCSVersionPolicy(BSC6900,BSC6910) does not take effect.
l When DTMOptiSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON(On) in a concentric cell:
– If the BSC expects to allocate channels in the overlaid (or underlaid) subcell for
both CS and PS services, the BSC preferentially allocates these channels for DTM
services according to the subcell in which TCHs are allocated for CS services.
– If the BSC expects to allocate channels in the overlaid subcell for CS services and
channels in the underlaid subcell for PS services, the BSC rejects the DTM requests
from the MS and processes only CS services. This also occurs if the BSC expects to
allocate channels in the underlaid subcell for CS services and channels in the
overlaid subcell for PS services.
l When DTMOptiSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to OFF(Off) and
IUODTMAccPolicy(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to CSLayerOnly(CS Layer Only) in a
concentric cell:
– If the BSC expects to allocate channels in the overlaid (or underlaid) subcell for
both CS and PS services, the BSC preferentially allocates these channels for DTM
services according to the subcell in which TCHs are allocated for CS services.
– If the BSC expects to allocate channels in the overlaid subcell for CS services and
channels in the underlaid subcell for PS services, the BSC rejects the DTM requests
from the MS and processes only CS services. This also occurs if the BSC expects to
allocate channels in the underlaid subcell for CS services and channels in the
overlaid subcell for PS services.
l When DTMOptiSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to OFF(Off) and
IUODTMAccPolicy(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to AllLayers(All Layers) in a
concentric cell, the BSC allocates channels for DTM services regardless of the subcell
where CS services are processed. That is, DTM services can be initiated in the subcell
where CS services are not processed. However, when this occurs, CS services must be
migrated to the subcell where DTM services are processed.
l When DTMOptiSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to OFF(Off), and when CS services
that occupied an SDCCH needs to request a TCH during the DTM procedure and
channels adjacent to the idle TCH are not PDCHs,
DtmTCHAllocOptSw(BSC6900,BSC6910) specifies whether the BSC is prohibited from
allocating the TCH.
– If DtmTCHAllocOptSw(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON(On), the BSC is
prohibited from allocating the TCH. If there are PDCHs available, the BSC will
initiate a PDCH reclaim procedure to establish DTM services.
– If DtmTCHAllocOptSw(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to OFF(Off), the BSC is
allowed to allocate the TCH, and the BSC dynamically converts channels adjacent
to the TCH to PDCHs for initiating the next DTM procedure.
After a DTM service connection is established, channels occupied by DTM services are
processed according to the following principles:
l In DTM mode, a PDCH can be shared by MSs.
l GPRS/EGPRS services in DTM mode can meet their QoS requirements.
l If DYNCHNPREEMPTLEV(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to LEVEL0(Preempt all
dynamic TCHFs), LEVEL1(No preempt of CCHs), or LEVEL2(No preempt of
service TCHF), channels occupied by DTM services can be preempted. In this case, CS
services preferentially preempt non-DTM channels. This has the same impact as
preempting other candidate channels or does not affect channel continuity.

GSM BSS
To protect PDCHs for DTM services during PDCH preemption, the

DYNCHNPREEMPTLEV(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter provides the following new
policies:
– LEVEL3(No preempt of dynamic PDCHs): CS services cannot preempt dynamic
PDCHs that carry DTM services.
– LEVEL4(No preempt of both dynamic PDCHs and CCHs): CS services cannot
preempt dynamic PDCHs that carry DTM services or control channels (CCHs).
l If high-priority CS services can preempt TCHs occupied by low-priority CS services and
DTM CS services have low priorities, high-priority CS services can preempt TCHs
occupied by DTM CS services. If multiple ongoing low-priority CS services in DTM
and non-DTM modes have the same priority:
– When DTMOptiSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON(On), high-priority CS
services preferentially preempt TCHs occupied by CS services in non-DTM mode.
– When DTMOptiSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to OFF(Off), high-priority CS
services randomly preempt TCHs occupied by CS services in DTM or non-DTM
mode.
After a DTM service connection is established, if
DTMIMMAPPLYSLAVEABIS(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON(On), the BSC can
immediately allocate more Abis bandwidth to the DTM call, improving the encoding
performance of the DTM call. In contrast, the BSC allocates more Abis bandwidth to a
common call only when the PS coding scheme used by the call changes.
When both the DTM and BSS Local Switch features are enabled, set
BssLsOptInDtmSw(BSC6900,BSC6910) to ON(On). When this parameter is set to ON(On),
the BSS send a HANDOVER IND message to prohibit the peer-end call from changing Abis
resources when the BSS Local Switch feature takes effect between a pair of calls and a call
attempts to initiate a DTM service. This way, the number of call drops on TCHs due to
equipment faults decreases.
3.3 DTM-Related Procedures
3.3.1 GPRS Signaling Transmission on the Main DCCH in

Dedicated Mode
When DTM is supported, the MS can send or receive GPRS signaling messages, such as
GPRS mobility management (GMM) signaling messages generated during cell update or
routing area (RA) update in CS dedicated mode. There are two methods of doing this.
In the first method, the MS first enters the DTM to establish the uplink and downlink
temporary block flows (TBFs). After transmitting GPRS signaling messages, the MS leaves
the DTM and enters dedicated mode again. This method is time-consuming and decreases
channel resource usage because PS resources must be requested first.
In the second method, the main dedicated control channel (DCCH) is used to transmit GRPS
signaling messages in dedicated mode, as shown in Figure 3-7. This method can accelerate
the GPRS signaling transmission and improve the channel resource usage efficiency. When
the MS is in dedicated mode, GPRS signaling messages are encapsulated as logical link
control (LLC) protocol data units (PDUs) in compliance with LLC protocols, and then the
LLC PDUs are sent to the radio resource (RR) entity for processing. The detailed procedure is
as follows:

GSM BSS
l In the uplink, the MS encapsulates an LLC PDU in a new Layer 3 message. The Layer 3
message contains the protocol identifier GPRS Transparent Transport Protocol (GTTP).
The MS sends the message using the existing Layer 2 mechanisms to the BSC over the
main DCCH. The BSC extracts the Temporary Logical Link Identity (TLLI) and the
LLC PDU, which are then encapsulated into a Base Station Subsystem GPRS Protocol
(BSSGP) UL-UNITDATA.
l In the downlink, upon receiving a BSSGP PDU, the BSC can identify whether the PDU
contains signaling information. If the length of the LLC PDU meets length requirements
and the BSS has an RR connection to the addressed MS with the international mobile
subscriber identity (IMSI), the BSC sends the GPRS signaling message over the main
DCCH.
Figure 3-7 shows GPRS signaling transmission on the main DCCH in dedicated mode.
Figure 3-7 Using the main DCCH to transmit GPRS signaling in dedicated mode
GPRS signaling transmission on the main DCCH in dedicated mode has the following
restrictions:
l The MS must be in dedicated mode rather than in DTM mode.

l The main DCCH can transmit GPRS signaling messages, but not GPRS data.
l The number of link access procedure on the Dm channel (LAPDm) frames disassembled
from a GPRS signaling message must be smaller than the value specified by the network.
The value is determined by MAX_LAPDm in SI6. MAX_LAPDm has three bits and its
value ranges from 5 to 12. By default, MAX_LAPDm is 5.
3.3.2 DTM Establishment
Uplink PS Establishment in Dedicated Mode

In dedicated mode, if the BSS and MS support DTM, the MS can send a DTM Request
message on the main DCCH to establish an uplink PS connection. If the BSS does not need to
re-allocate CS resources (that is, the BSS uses the original TCH to carry speech in DTM
mode), it sends a Packet Assignment message to allocate PS resources to the MS. Figure 3-8
shows the procedure.

GSM BSS
Figure 3-8 Uplink PS establishment in dedicated mode without reallocating CS resources
If the BSS needs to reallocate the CS resources when allocating PS resources (DTM channel
allocation is not applicable due to existing channel distribution), the BSS sends a DTM
Assignment Command message on the main DCCH to the MS after reallocating the CS
resources. If the MS successfully establishes the new CS connection, it sends an Assignment
Complete message on the new main DCCH, as shown in Figure 3-9. If the MS fails to
establish the new CS connection, it sends an Assignment Failure message on the old main
DCCH, as shown in Figure 3-10.
Figure 3-9 Uplink PS connection establishment in dedicated mode with CS resources reallocated and new CS
connections established
Figure 3-10 Uplink PS connection establishment in dedicated mode with CS resources

reallocated and new CS connections failed
Downlink PS Establishment in Dedicated Mode

In dedicated mode, if the MS is in the GMM Ready state, the BSS needs to establish a
downlink TBF after receiving a downlink PDU from the SGSN. If the BSS does not need to
reallocate CS resources, it sends a Packet Assignment message on the main DCCH to the MS.
Figure 3-11 shows the procedure.

GSM BSS
Figure 3-11 Downlink PS establishment in dedicated mode and GMM ready state
If the BSS needs to reallocate CS resources when allocating PS resources, the BSS sends a
DTM Assignment Command message on the new main DCCH to the MS after reallocating
the CS resources. If the MS successfully establishes the new CS connection, it sends an
Assignment Complete message on the new main DCCH. If the MS fails to establish the new
CS connection, it sends an Assignment Failure message on the old main DCCH. The
procedure for reestablishing the downlink PS connection between network elements is the
same as the procedure for reestablishing the uplink PS connection.
If the MS is in dedicated mode and GMM standby state, the BSS sends a Packet Notification
message on the main DCCH to the MS after receiving a packet paging message from the
SGSN. The MS then sends an LLC frame as a response to the packet paging. The SGSN starts
to send the downlink information after receiving the paging response from the MS. Figure
3-12 shows the procedure.
Figure 3-12 Downlink PS establishment in dedicated mode and GMM standby state
CS Establishment in Packet Transfer Mode

In packet transfer mode, the packet session must be aborted before the MS or the network
initiates a CS connection request. When the CS connection is established, the MS enters
dedicated mode. The PS connection is then established over the main DCCH occupied by the
CS resources. This PS connection establishment procedure is the same as that for uplink or
downlink PS connection establishment in dedicated mode.
3.3.3 DTM Release

CS Release in DTM Mode
In DTM mode, if the CS connection is released, the MS must release the PS resources.

GSM BSS
PS Release in DTM Mode

The procedure for releasing a TBF by an MS in DTM mode is the same as that for releasing
an uplink or downlink TBF for common PS services. During CS services in DTM mode, if the
last TBF is released by an MS, the MS enters dedicated mode.
3.3.4 Handover in DTM Mode

The decision on when to change the serving cell of a DTM-capable MS is made based on the
CS measurement report.
In an intra-cell handover, the MS releases the PS resources and leaves DTM with the PS
connection interrupted. Then, the MS enters dedicated mode on the new CS resource,
reestablishes the PS connection, and enters DTM mode again.
In an inter-cell handover, the MS releases the PS resources and leaves DTM with the PS
connection interrupted. Then, the MS enters dedicated mode in the new cell, reads the system
information messages, makes a cell update or RA update, reestablishes the PS connection, and
enters DTM mode again. Figure 3-13 shows the procedure.
Figure 3-13 Inter-cell handover in DTM mode

GSM BSS
In DTM mode, more restrictions are imposed on CS handovers to retain the continuity of CS
and PS services and to prevent CS handovers from interrupting PS services.
When DTMCSHOOPTSW(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to NO(No), CS handovers in DTM
mode must be forced handovers, emergency handovers, or fast movement handovers.
When DTMCSHOOPTSW(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to YES(Yes), CS handovers in DTM
mode caused by the following reasons are not allowed:
l Cell load sharing
l Traffic sharing in a concentric cell or enhanced dual-band network
l TCH/F-to-TCH/H handovers due to high cell load, TCH/F-to-TCH/H handovers due to
insufficient Abis links, and TCH/H-to-TCH/F handovers due to low cell load
l Handovers due to dynamic adjustment from TCH/F to TCH/H, from TCH/H to TCH/F,
from TCH to SDCCH, and from SDCCH to TCH
l Channel repacking
During establishment of a DTM service connection, links for CS services are established prior
to those for PS services. After links for CS services are established and before links for PS
services are established, the DTM call is in unstable state. Handovers triggered during this
period must be delayed. If links for PS services fail to be established,
DtmChOccupySupplyStatSw(BSC6900,BSC6910) controls whether to measure handover-
related counters for CS services.
3.3.5 Cell Update, RA Update, and LA Update in DTM Mode

If a DTM-capable MS is in dedicated mode, it can perform cell updates, RA updates, and
location area (LA) updates on the main DCCH to reduce the load of packet resources. If LLC
PDUs cannot be transmitted on the main DCCH, they are transmitted on TBFs.
If both the RA and LA of a DTM-capable MS in idle mode change, the parallel RA and LA
updates are performed. During the parallel RA and LA updates, either the RA update or the
LA update can be complete first.
l If DTMUPDATEOPTITYPE(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to
SDCCH_REL_DELAY(SDCCH Release Delay), the BSC sends an RA Update Accept
message to the MS on the SDCCH. If the BSC receives a DTM Request message on the
SDCCH, the BSC delays releasing the SDCCH, as shown in Figure 3-14.
l If DTMUPDATEOPTITYPE(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to
RAU_ACC_SEND_DELAY(RAU ACC Send Delay), the BSC sends an RA Update
Accept message to the MS in downlink packet immediate assignment only after the
SDCCH is released, as shown in Figure 3-15.
l If DTMUPDATEOPTITYPE(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to NO_DELAY(No Delay),
the BSC releases the SDCCH and delivers the RA Update Accept message in a timely
manner.

GSM BSS

update

update
3.3.6 Paging Coordination

The BSC can control the paging response of an MS using the paging coordination function
rather than based on the setting of the NMO(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter. This enables the
MS to enter the DTM to establish CS and PS connections simultaneously.
l When an MS is in packet transfer mode, the BSC can send a CS Paging message on the
PACCH even if the NMO(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to NMOII(Network
Operation Mode II) or NMOIII(Network Operation Mode III). Therefore, the MS
does not miss any CS Paging messages.
l When an MS is in dedicated mode and the system supports DTM, the BSC sends a
Packet Notification message on the main DCCH after receiving a PS Paging message.
Therefore, the MS does not miss any PS Paging messages.

GBFD-115830 VAMOS l If VAMOS or VAMOS FR is enabled,

it is recommended that the base station
color code (BCC), frequency hopping

of VAMOS be set to the same value to

GSM BSS
GBFD-160201 VAMOS FR prevent an exception in DTM services.

The
VamosMainTsc(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter specifies the primary TSC.
l Modifying an FH group TSC will reset
a cell. If the FH group TSC is
inconsistent with the primary TSC of
VAMOS in the preceding scenario, the
BSC uses the primary TSC as the TSC
for the cell and automatically changes
the FH group TSC to the primary TSC.
This will cause the cell to
automatically reset and therefore will
cause CS and PS call drops. After the
cell resets, the BSC allocates the
primary TSC to all CS and PS services
during initial access.
l To prevent VAMOS channel
multiplexing on a DTM call (that is,
the CS part of a DTM service), the
BSC imposes the following
constraints:
l VAMOS channel multiplexing can
only be performed on a common CS
call and on a DTM call. VAMOS
channel multiplexing can be performed
in only one direction, that is, the BSC
assigns or hands over the common CS
call to the channel occupied by the
DTM call.
l If the call using the primary TSC is
released during VAMOS channel
multiplexing and the MS using the
secondary TSC initiates a DTM
service, since the packet data channel
(PDCH) corresponds to the primary
TSC, the MS using the secondary TSC
needs to perform an intra-cell
handover so that it can use the primary
TSC before processing DTM services.
This is because an MS using a new
TSC cannot process DTM services, as
stipulated in 3GPP TS 24.008 V9.7.0.

l Enabling DTM has no impacts on the performance of non-DTM PS services. The
following KPIs remain unchanged after DTM is enabled except in case of many DTM
users:
Uplink TBF establishment success rate (non-DTM call)
Downlink TBF establishment success rate (non-DTM call)
Uplink TBF congestion rate (non-DTM call)

TX.DOWN.GPRS.LLC.PDU.THRPUT.RATE.AVG and
TX.DOWN.EGPRS.LLC.PDU.THRPUT.RATE.AVG for non-DTM calls
l Enabling DTM has the following impacts on the performance of DTM PS services:
– In DTM mode, MSs must be allocated consecutive TCHs and PDCHs during
channel allocation for DTM PS services. In addition, DTM calls are affected by
users' behaviors. For example, when a CS release or CS handover occurs in DTM
mode, the DTM service fails. The following KPIs deteriorate after DTM is enabled
compared with those for non-DTM PS services:
Uplink TBF establishment success rate (DTM call)
Downlink TBF establishment success rate (DTM call)
Uplink TBF congestion rate (DTM call)
Downlink TBF congestion rate (DTM call)
Uplink TBF drop rate (DTM call)

– When DTMOptiSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON(On), using the optimized
channel allocation algorithm for DTM services decreases the DTM TBF congestion
rate. If the penetration rate of DTM-capable MSs is no more than 30% on a
network, setting DTMOptiSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON(On) has the
following impacts:
The TBF congestion rate for DTM services approaches that for non-DTM services.
Both the uplink and downlink DTM TBF congestion rates relatively decrease by
more than 50%.
If the impacts of CS releases or CS handovers and the scenarios with many DTM
users are not considered, the performance of other DTM services is similar to that
of non-DTM services.
– When DTMOptiSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON(On), PDCH conversion
may be required to meet the DTM multislot capability of an MS. As a result, the
delay in establishing DTM PS connections may be prolonged.
l Enabling DTM has the following impacts on the performance of CS services:
– Establishing DTM services will cause an increase in the number of PDCHs. The
proportion of half-rate traffic increases and the high quality indicator (HQI)
decreases with the increase in the number of PDCHs. If the DTM traffic volume is
large, the number of PDCHs increases significantly. As a result, the proportion of
half-rate traffic increases and the HQI decreases significantly.
– When DTMOptiSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON(On), PDCH conversion
may be required to meet the DTM multislot capability of an MS. As a result, the
delay in establishing DTM CS connections may be prolonged.
l Enabling DTM has the following impacts on the BSC processing capability:
The CPU usages of the DPU board with the GPCU logical type, and of the XPU board,
both increase by a maximum of 5%.
NOTE
The DPUc and DPUf boards are supported only by BSC6900.

6.8 Parameter Optimization

l If the BSC separately allocates PDCHs for EGPRS and GPRS services, configure some
dynamic or static EGPRS PDCHs on multiple nonconsecutive TRXs to increase the
throughput of EGPRS DTM LLC PDUs. If the EGPRS PDCHs are configured on one
TRX or multiple consecutive TRXs, idle TCHs may be adjacent to fewer EGPRS

GSM BSS
PDCHs. If there are no consecutive PDCHs, EGPRS subscribers cannot perform DTM
PS services and EGPRS services are degraded to GPRS services. This decreases the
throughput of EGPRS services.
l When GPRS dedicated channels are configured, it is recommended that
GprsPdchSynMode(BSC6900,BSC6910) be set to ON(On) so that the synchronization
of GPRS PDCHs is accelerated. This avoids DTM establishment failures when no
PDCHs are available due to low synchronization of GPRS PDCHs, thereby improving
the DTM access success rate. You do not need to configure this parameter for EGPRS
channels.
NOTICE
The cell processing PS services resets when you adjust the
GprsPdchSynMode(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
l When DTMOptiSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to OFF(Off) in a concentric cell, do

not set IUOCHNTRAN(BSC6900,BSC6910) to CONVERT0(Only convert at UL) or
CONVERT1(Only convert at OL) because these settings allow DTM PS services to be
performed either in only the underlaid or overlaid subcell. However, DTM CS services
may be performed only or preferentially in a subcell different from that specified by
IUOCHNTRAN(BSC6900,BSC6910). This causes ping-pong handovers.
l To increase the DTM establishment success rate and the LLC throughput rate of DTM
services, set DTMOptiSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) to ON(On).
l To increase the DTM CS service capacity, set DTMCSAllocPolicy(BSC6900,BSC6910)
to CAPACITY(Capacity), in which case the DTM multislot capability and speech
quality will not be optimal. To improve the speech quality of DTM CS services, set
DTMCSAllocPolicy(BSC6900,BSC6910) to QUALITY(Quality), in which case the
DTM CS service capacity and DTM multislot capability will not be optimal. To improve
the DTM multislot capability and further increase the DTM PS service rate, set
DTMCSAllocPolicy(BSC6900,BSC6910) to DTMMULTI(Allocation), in which case
the DTM CS service capacity and speech quality of DTM CS services will not be
optimal.
NOTE
Modifying DTMCSAllocPolicy affects channel allocation for only DTM services.

l To increase the usage efficiency of DTM channels and the DTM establishment success
rate, set DTMCSVersionPolicy(BSC6900,BSC6910) to HRfirst(HalfRate first) so that
DTM CS services are carried by TCH/Hs. To improve the speech quality of DTM CS
services, set DTMCSVersionPolicy(BSC6900,BSC6910) to FRfirst(FullRate first) so
that DTM CS services are carried by TCH/Fs. However, in this situation, the DTM
access success rate and DTM establishment success rate decrease.
l In DTM mode, it is recommended that
DTMIMMAPPLYSLAVEABIS(BSC6900,BSC6910) be set to ON(On) to improve the
encoding performance of DTM calls.
