1. BVC Flow Control(BSC)

BVCFlowCtrl: BVC Flow Control Supported

BVC flow control occurs on Gb interface between SGSN and BSS, and only on downlinks. BSS
provides control parameters and SGSN executes, to avoid one BVC on BSS to abandon some LLC
data because of discard some LLC data blocks due to overtime caused from grouping channel as
too busy and to avoid new downlink LLC data because of memory resource limitations.
BSSGP counts the current leaking rate of BVC periodically (including short ；；statistics and
long statistics). BVCFlowCtrl originates unconditionally if long statistics timer stops, SGSN
acknowledgement is necessary, and if discrepant range of adjacent leaking rates is over
CellFcThs. BVCFlowCtrl originates and SGSN confirmation is necessary if short statistics timer
overflows and discrepant range of adjacent leaking rates is over CellFcThs.

1). FlowCtrlMode: Flow Control Mode

There are two Modes to determine the SGSN flow control of different providers.
 Mode 1: Report flow control parameters according to actual traffic on radio interface counted
at BSC
 Mode 2: Report flow control parameters according to max traffic that the cell can provide

Suggestion value: Normally, we use Mode 2.

2). FlowCtlMode2Para：Parameter of Flow Control Mode2

BSC reports flow control parameters according to max traffic that the cell can provide. Max value
depends on channels configured. Counting formula: channels * max traffic that every channel
can provide. This parameter is max traffic that every channel can provide, with the unit of 100
bps.
Value range: 10 ~ 1000
Default value: 214

2. GPRS Cell Options(Cell)

1). T3192: T3192 timer

T3192 is used at MS side. During the packet downlink transmission, if RLC data block is the final
downlink data block to be transmitted, the network sends the RLC data block with the Final Block
Identifier (FBI) domain as 1. It contains an effective RRBP field to initialize the release of the
downlink TBF.
In acknowledged mode, the MS sends PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message whose FBI
domain is 1 on the uplink block specified by the RRBP domain.
In the unacknowledged mode, the MS sends PACKET CONTROL ACK message on the uplink
block specified by the RRBP domain. Then MS starts the T3192 timer. When T3192 stops, the
system releases the resources, stops listening to the PDCCH channel, and turns to listen the paging
channel.
If a MS receives PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT or PACKET TIMESLOT
RECONFIGURE message from the network within the protection period of the T3192 timer, it
stops T3192 and transfer to the packet transmission status.
Value range:{ 500, 1000, 1500,0,80,120,160,200}
Default value: 500ms
Timer value must be less than the protection timer T3193 of the downlink TBF at the network
side, in order to ensure TFI uniqueness of MS at the same time.
Suggestion value: 1500ms for T3192, 1520ms for T3193

2). DrxTimeMax: Non-DRX Mode Holding Time
This parameter belongs to GPRS cell option and is used at MS side.
When the MS changes from the packet BUSY mode to the packet IDLE mode, it should first enter
the Non-Drx mode. The DRX_TIMER_MAX parameters determine the maximum time length
for MS to stay in the Non-DRx mode.
Under the Non-Drx mode status, MS establish TBF link take short time than Drx mode status,
refer to GSM04.60-12.24
Value range: {1 s , 2 s, 4 s , 8 s , 16 s , 32 s , 64 s }
Default value: 2 s
Suggestion value: 4s

3). BsCvMax: Max Blocks Transmission in Each TS

This parameter belongs to GPRS cell option and is used at MS side.
BsCvMax indicates the value of BsCvMax parameter of Max Blocks Transmission in each TS.
This parameter determines the following:
 Time length of T3198 timer used by MS. This time length is equal to the time represented by
BsCvMax.
 Time length of T3200 used by MS in Non-Drx mode. This time length = 4 × time represented
by BsCvMax.
 Value of N3104max = (3 × (BsCvMax+3) × Number of timeslots assigned in the uplink).
All uplink data blocks sent by MS contain the COUNT DOWN VALUE (CV) field. The network
can use this field to calculate the data blocks to be sent on current uplink TBF.
Value range:
Value Meaning
0 Time length of one block Default value: 15
1 Time length of one block Suggestion
… … value: some MS

15 Time length of 15 blocks

can only support 0-12, so change 15 to 9.

3. SIGNAL_EUTBF : Support signaling

uplink extended TBF(BSC)

This parameter represents whether BSC supports signaling uplink extended TBF. Normally, the
uplink signaling message transmission was finished, uplink TBF link was released immediately to
free TFI resource. Uplink signaling extended TBF enabled can hold the link and TFI resource for
some time, if MS needs transmission signaling again, it can use the TFI resource. The uplink TBF
established constantly will affect downlink throughput.
Value range: Check/Uncheck
Check: Support signaling uplink extended TBF Uncheck: Does not support signaling uplink
extended TBF
Default value: Uncheck,
Suggestion value: Check

Copyright, 2009 ZTE Corporation.

4. EXT_UTBF: Support extended uplink

TBF(Cell)

This parameter represents whether extended uplink TBF is supported in the cell.
If support extended uplink TBF, after uplink TBF link have sent last RLC data block, the link
don’t release for short time, if there have data to send, the link will be used, new TBF link
establishment is not necessary, it save the time to load data.

Value range: Check/Uncheck

Check: extended uplink TBF is active in cell; Uncheck: extended uplink TBF is not active in cell
Default value: Uncheck,
Suggestion value: Check

Copyright, 2009 ZTE Corporation.

5. Cell Reselecting Hysteresis Level(Cell)

If Mobile is in data service and does Cell Reselection, the MS will stop data transmission about 4-
10seconds. In order to decrease cell reselection, need to increase the ReselHysteresis parameter to
avoid cell reselection frequently.

6. Edge Params(Cell)

1). Support EGPRS_PACKET_CHANNEL_REQUEST Access Program

(EGPRSPacketChReq）
If Cell supports EGPRS_PACKET_CHANNEL_REQUEST Access Program, EGPRS mobile can
set up packet access program on RACH or PRACH(if PBCCH is configured)
Enabled this function can improve uplink throughput.
Value range: Check/Uncheck
Check: EGPRS_PACKET_CHANNEL_REQUEST Access Program is active in cell; Uncheck:
EGPRS_PACKET_CHANNEL_REQUEST Access Program is not active in cell

Copyright, 2009 ZTE Corporation.

Default value: Uncheck,
Suggestion value: Check

2). EGPRS Phone Quality Measure Mode (LinkQuaMeaMode)

LinkQuaMeaMode indicates the measurement report mode of EGPRS MS in the cell. EGPRS
measurement could be performed based on each impulse, which is to measure by the granularity
of BURST. The feature of rapid EGPRS measurement makes the network side be able to respond
the change of radio environment quickly.
EGPRS MS have two kinds of report mode, based on BURST or based on TBF.
Reporting parameters based on BURST are MEAN_BEP_TNx （ 0-7 ） (error bit rate per time
slot)and I_LEVEL_TN（0-7）.
Reporting parameters based on TBF are MEAN_BEP (average error bit rate of the radio block)
and CV_BEP (variance coefficient of radio block error bit rate).

Value range: 0-3.

0. Report MEAN_BEP and CV_BEP
1. Only report I_LEVEL_TN（0-7）
2. Only report MEAN_BEP_TNx（0-7）
3. Report MEAN_BEP_TNx（0-7）and I_LEVEL_TN（0-7）
Default value: 2

In report mode, 0 means report based on TBF, 1~3 means report based on timeslot(BURST).
Currently in report based on timeslot, omission of report occurs at some terminals, which seriously
affects adjustment of coding mode(MCS1-9)

Suggestion: 0 based on TBF report mode.

3). Average filter period for uplink/downlink BEP

In EGPRS system, EGPRS MS will determine to report the MEAN_REP_AV (average error bit
rate of the radio block) and CV_BEP_AV (variance coefficient of radio block error bit rate) under
the whole TBF, or the measurement data per time slot MEAN_BEP_TNx (0-7).
The specification defines the formula of these measurement data (refer to GSM05.08 10.2.3.2.1).
There is an oblivion factor e, whose value is defined by average period of BEP filter.
Average filter period for BEP calculation is an oblivion factor e, it is the weight of measurement
report, the value is more, and the reliability of BEP is high.

Value Range: Average filter period for downlink BEP {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,14,
15}, Average filter period for uplink BEP {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
Default value: both are 4 blocks.
Suggestion value: both are 10 blocks.

3). UPPB DSP Resource Congestion Rate

One UPPB have 14 DSP Units, the maximum process capacity of each DSP is 160 Abis TS of
16kbps( one DSP = 160*16kbps), if enable GPRS CS3/4, one DSP can support maximum 80
dynamic and static channels, if open EDGE service, one DSP can support maximum 40 dynamic
and static channels.
If DSP overload, some PDTCH will not be occupied, that means you have configured 4 static
PDTCH channels, you can only occupy less than 4 PDTCH channels.
Suggestion: there can configure 10 to 15 sectors to one DSP in UPPB board.

From above table, we know the DSP 9,10,11,13,14 and 16 have more sectors connected to them.
The DSP 16 have 97 cells connected to it, because there have a few subscriber to use GPRS
service, so there haven’t DSP congestion.

So we suggest move above DSP congestion cells to DSP 15,19,21,22 to balance the DSP
process loading.

As below, we changed the configuration of DSP, the DSP congestion is improved.

12. The PDTCH Configuration(Cell Level)

Moved

The Dynamic TS property used to provide more PDTCH to support data transmit, if the TCH
channel is enough to support voice service, the system will shift to dynamic TCH timeslots to
PDTCH. The shift action will happen at the before or back TCHs at the static PDTCH channel.
If you configure as below figuration, the system only shift the before dynamic TCH timeslots
to PDTCH, for this case, some shift actions will failure, because the USF flag bit can’t be moved
to other PDTCHs.

Copyright, 2009 ZTE Corporation.

Figure: the Dynamic TS property only can shift forth TCH to PDTCH.

So we suggest move the static PDTCH to the middle between the TCHs with Dynamic TS,
the system is easy to shift the back or forth TCHs with dynamic TS property to PDTCH. The
configuration is as below.

Figure: the Dynamic TS property can shift both the back or forth TCH to PDTCH.

13. The PDTCH Configuration(Cell Level)

changed for 3 PDTCHs

Because the modulations of GPRS(CS-1 to CS-4) and EGPRS(MCS-1 to MCS-4) are

GMSK, and EGPRS(MCS-5 to MCS-6) is with 8-PSK modulation. The 8-PSK gives the EGPRS
high throughput, if EGPRS and GPRS are same with GMSK, the throughput of EGPRS will be
lower than the GPRS.

Table: the Modulation and Bit Rate of GPRS and EGPRS.

We configure the PDTCH to the site with both GPRS and EGPRS supported, if they shared
the PDTCH, the modulation of data coding will use GMSK to transfer data, that means the
subscriber with 8-PSK will change its modulation to GMSK, so the throughput of the subscriber
with 8-PSK will be decreased. The configuration is just as below.

Figure: the subscribers of both GPRS and EGPRS will share the PDTCH to transfer data.

Because the PS Service Preference Property is set to No Preference, the subscribers of both
GPRS and EGPRS will share the PDTCH to transmit data, the modulation will use GMSK to code
data, the throughput will be lower.

So we must change the configuration to support GPRS and EGPRS subscribers separately, the
subscribers to occupy the different PDTCH, just like below two figurations.

Copyright, 2009 ZTE Corporation.

Figure: the subscribers of EGPRS occupy the PDTCH with EDGE Dedicated Property.

Above figuration indicates the subscribers of EGPRS will occupy the PDTCH with EDGE
Dedicated Property. If the C/I is enough better to support the 8-PSK coding, the coding set of data
transfer will use MCS-5 to MCS-9, so the throughput will be increased.

In order to support the GPRS subscribers, we will configure the GPRS preference PDTCH to it,
just like below figuration.

Figure: the subscribers of GPRS occupy the PDTCH with GPRS Preference Property.

So there have 3 PDTCH to support data transfer, the 2 PDTCHs are with EDGE dedicated and 1
PDTCH is with GPRS preference property in one sector.

15. The PDTCH Configuration(Cell Level)

changed for 2 PDTCHs

Before we have added one more PDTCH to support data with GPRS preference property in
one sector, so one TCH is decreased to support voice call in one sector. In order to avoid the
customer have complaint for the TCH decreased, we have changed one PDTCH with EDGE
dedicated channel to TCH channel. So in one sector there has only 2 PDTCH support data transfer,
the configurations are as below.

Before changing, in one sector there have 2 PDTCH support EDGE mobile and 1 PDTCH
support GPRS mobile.

mobile.

After changing, in one sector there have only 1 PDTCH support EDGE mobile and 1 PDTCH
support GPRS mobile.

16. The Throughput Improved for 2

PDTCHs

After changing from 3 PDTCH channels to 2 PDTCH channels in one sector, the Mean Rate of
EGPRS LLC DownLink Throughput of summarization from 7:00 to 24:00 by Cell is same as
below.
