ARCS =
Bandwidth Average amount of TRX per cell
The definition of the Reuse Cluster Size for RFH conditions is:

s s s s s s s MA Mobile Allocation MAI Mobile Allocation Index MAIO Mobile Allocation Index Offset FHS Frequency Hopping Sequence HSN Hopping Sequence Number T1, T1R, T2, T3 GSM internal timers FN Frame Number
MA - Mobile Allocation
w The MA is the look up table
that is giving the relation between the different MAI numbers and the corresponding ARFCN. s Range: The look up table has N lines. N is the number of frequencies used in the hopping sequence (hopping group) MAI 0 1 2 3 4 ... MA ARFCN 7 2 5 12 6 ...
MAI - Mobile Allocation Index

w The MAI is an index number, which allows to determine the
correct line in the MA look up table to find the corresponding ARFCN. w Range: 0 .. N-1
w Note: N is the number of frequencies used in the hopping

sequence.
MAIO - Mobile Allocation Index Offset

w The MAIO is selectable for each timeslot and each TRX
separately w The MAIO is constant on the TRX but it changes between the FU w Due to the fact, that normally for each timeslot within one TRX the same FHS is used, there is no need to change the MAIO from timeslot to timeslot. Therefore the MAIO is constant on the TRX. w It is a number that is added to the calculated MAI to avoid intra-site collisions due to co or adjacent channel usage. w Range: 0 .. N-1

MAIO - BBH Example (1)

MAIO - Example (2)

w E.g. a TRX has the MAIO 2 w Frequencies used on this TRX: f1, f2, f3 ,f4 w The frequency hopping generator creates the MAI sequence
3,0,1,2,1,1,3,0,2, w The hopping sequence will be: s f2, f3, f4,f1,f4,f4,f2,f3,f1,...
MA MAI E.g. MAI = 1 calculated 0 1 2 3 MAIO=2
ARFCN F1 F2 F3 F4 F4 is used
HSN - Hopping Sequence Number

w The HSN is one of 4 input parameters to the GSM hopping
sequence generator algorithm (see GSM Rec: 05.02). w Range: 0 .. 63 w HSN = 0 means cyclic hopping! w The values 1 to 63 are so called Pseudo Random Hopping Sequence Numbers. Their usage forces the hopping sequence generator algorithm to determine MAIs randomly. Due to the fact, that only the GSM internal timers T1R, T2 and T3 are additional input to this algorithm, their period is also the period of the hopping sequence
13
T1, T1R, T2, T3 - GSM internal timers

w Ranges of the timers:
T1: 0 .. 2047 T1R: 0 .. 63 (T1R = T1 modulo 64) T2: 0 .. 25 T3: 0 .. 50 w T2 and T3 are triggered every 8 timeslots (1 TDMA Frame). When both timers switch back to 0, T1 (and T1R) is triggered (that is every 26*51= 1326 TDMA Frames). w In the GSM hopping sequence algorithm the timers T1R, T2 and T3 are used. This is leading to a period of 64*26*51-1 = 84863 for the MAI sequence (hopping sequence) s s s s
14
FN - Frame Number
w It is incremented after every TDMA frame (8 timeslots) w At each FN increment, timers T1, T1R, T2, T3 are impacted,
however only T1R, T2, T3 determine the periodicity of the MAI sequence (hopping sequence)
w FN periodicity is 26*51*2048-1 = 2 715 647 TDMA frames w Each frame has a duration of apporx. 4.62 ms w The absolute time from FN 0 to next time FN 0 is
accordingly: 2 715 647 * (8*577 s) = 3h 28min 53 s
Note: Duration of one TS 577 s

parameters, the used absolute frequency can be determined MA MAIO HSN T1 T2 T3
Algorithm specified in GSM Rec. 05.02
Press for demonstration
ARFCN = MA(MAI)
16
The Period of the Hopping Sequence

w Timer T1R is only increased, when T2 and T3 switch back to
zero at the same time (every 1326 TDMA frames)! w The total period of the 3 timers T1R, T2, T3 (=duration of FHS): s 64*26*51-1 = 84863 TDMA frames 6min 32sec w This means, that even if we select the same HSN on two different (not synchronised I.e no common master clock) sites, they have a probability of 1/84863 = 1.18*10-6 to use the same frame number. If they have different frame numbers, the order of the used hopping frequencies is uncorrelated
17
New understanding of reuse

w A reuse of A X B means, that A sites belong to the same
reuse cluster and B frequency groups are used on this site.

Co-cell / co-site constraints max RF load
w Co-cell constraint 2 channels spacing (ETSI recommends

3, but with Alcatel EVOLIUM capabilities this value can be set to 2) w Co-site constraint 2 channels spacing
w As on the same site the minimum distance between two

frequencies is 2, only every second frequency of a band of consecutive frequencies can be used
w This is leading to a effective usage of the spectrum

resources of maximum 50%
w These 50% are the so called maximum RF load on the site

Max RF Load
# TRX / Cell max RF load = # Frequencies / Cell
20
Max RF Load - Examples

w 3 sector site, 12 hopping frequencies, 2 hopping TRX per sector
s 1*1 reuse:
max . RF load =
2 = 16.7% 12
s 1*3 reuse:
2 max . RF load = = 50% 4

s These values (16.7% and 50%) are the theoretical maximum achivable RF loads for the two cases. This is due to the fact, that a consecutive frequency band is assumed and thus due to inter cell constraint of 2 channels spacing only every second frequency can be used at the same time
Inter site constraints

w The maximum RF load is just a theoretical value, up to
which we can avoid violating the co-cell and co-site constraints w The real RF load of a cell (e.g. the traffic in Erlang handled by the hopping carriers) is the real indicator for the interferer potential of the cell w With increasing number of used hopping TS, the probability of having a collission with a used TS of another cell using the same hopping frequencies is increasing

Assumptions: Cells not syncronized, cells using same hopping frequencies, BCCH not included
Creating Hopping sequences

w The following slides show, how new frequency hopping
groups can be generated and how the MAIO is assigned to the different TRXs within the cell
w Keep in mind the two GSM constraints

s 2 channels spacing between the frequencies on air at the same time within one cell (only Alcatel EVOLIUM equipment) s 2 channels spacing between the frequencies on air at the same time within one site w Assumptions: s 12 consecutive frequencies available (1..12) excluding BCCH frequencies
24
Fractional Reuse 1*2, 1*3, 1*x
25
1*3 reuse (1)

w Before we create new groups, we
have to keep two things in mind: s The RF-load of 50% is not possible with consecutive frequencies in the FHS s 50% RF-load is only possible when all odd or all even frequencies are on air at the same time same amount of odd and even frequencies in each group

1*3 reuse (2)

w To avoid violating the GSM constarints, MAIOs have to be
defined for each TRX of the site.

1*3 reuse (4)

w For each frequency group we have an own MA table w With the group allocation from before, we get:
MA - Group A MAI 0 1 2 3
MA - Group B MAI 0 1 2 3 ARFCN 2 5 8 11
MA - Group C MAI 0 1 2 3 ARFCN 3 6 9 12

1*2 reuse (1)

w On a two sector site we may have only 2 frequency groups
and therefore only an 1*2 reuse. w In a first step we allocate the frequencies according to the allocation scheme known from the 1*3 reuse
Group A 1
11
Group B 2
10 12
Problem: For max. possible RF load, all odd or even must be on air at the same time. This is not possible in this case, as all odd frequencies are in group A and all even in group B
30
1*2 reuse (2)

w To have an equal distribution between odd and even
frequencies within one frequency group, we change every second frequency

w To assign MAIOs we assume the FN 0, and circle as many
frequencies as TRXs are using this group. The circeled frequencies must fulfil the GSM intra site and intra cell constraint
