23 TRX Cooperation BSS Feature Description
23.1 Overview
This describes the TRX cooperation. When faults occur on the TRXs in a cell, the TRX
cooperation ensures that the cell is functional.
Definition
When some TRXs in a cell fail, the cell may be not functional. The TRX cooperation can ensure
that the cell is functional.
The TRX cooperation is categorized into the following modes:
l BCCH TRX cooperation

When a BCCH TRX fails, the BSC selects a normal TRX as the new BCCH TRX according
to the TRX cooperation algorithm to ensure that the cell is functional. When the fault of
the original BCCH TRX is rectified, the BSC can switch the BCCH back to the original
TRX.
l Baseband FH TRX cooperation
When a TRX of the cell in Baseband FH mode is faulty, the BSC changes the mode to be
None FH to avoid decrease in the voice quality.
Purposes
When a BCCH TRX of a cell fails, all the services in this cell are interrupted. To ensure the
normal running of the cell services, the BSC initiates another TRX in the cell to replace the
faulty TRX. When the fault of the original BCCH TRX is rectified, the BSC can switch the
BCCH back to the original TRX.
When the TRX of a cell in baseband FH mode fails, some speech frames in the call using the
FH channel are lost. Thus, the voice quality is decreased. To ensure the voice quality in the cell,
the BSC enables the baseband FH TRX cooperation and changes the mode to be none FH. Then,
faults of few TRXs do not affect the voice quality in the entire cell. After the faults are rectified,
the BSC can revert the FH mode of the cell to baseband FH.
NOTE
During the period in which the service is interrupted due to TRX failure and then the service is resumed
after TRX cooperation, the system determines whether the TRX cooperation is required, performs cell
service handover, and cell re-initialization. This period takes several minutes.
The TRX cooperation is not triggered within a certain period after the cell is initialized. The period is
determined by the Aiding Delay Protect Time(min). By default, the value is 15 minutes.

23.3 Impact
This describes the impact of TRX cooperation on system performance and on other features.
Impact on System Performance

The impacts of the BCCH TRX cooperation on the system performance are as follows:
l After the BCCH TRX cooperation, the BSC specifies a normal non-BCCH TRX as the
BCCH TRX; therefore, the number of available TCHs decreases and the cell capacity is
reduced. The greater the number of faulty TRXs , the lower the cell capacity.
l If a PDCH TRX is involved in the BCCH TRX cooperation, the PDCH is unavailable and
the packet service capacity is deceased after the BCCH TRX cooperation; if a CBCH TRX
is involved in the BCCH TRX cooperation, the CBCH is unavailable and the cell broadcast
service is terminated after the BCCH TRX cooperation.
l If either of the original active BCCH TRX or the cooperated TRX does not support the
EDGE, neither of them supports the EDGE after the BCCH TRX cooperation.
l If the cell is a concentric cell and the cooperated TRX is in an overlaid subcell, the coverage
of the cell decreases after the TRX cooperation.
The impacts of the baseband FH TRX cooperation on the system performance are as follows:
l In the baseband FH TRX cooperation, the BSC changes the FH mode from Baseband
FH to None FH. The cell is thus deprived of the functions of interference diversity and
anti-attenuation.
l If the baseband FH mode of the cell is Baseband FH Joined By The TRX Carrying the
Primary BCCH and when the BCCH TRX of the cell fails, both the BCCH TRX
cooperation and the baseband FH TRX cooperation are performed. That is, the BSC
changes the FH mode of the cell to be None FH. After all faults on the original active
BCCH TRX and the TRX involved in the FH are rectified, the BSC reverts to FH mode to
Baseband FH.

Impact on Other Features

The impacts of the TRX cooperation on other features are as follows:
l The TRX cooperation is not performed during the validity period of the configured and
modified data, resource check, and BTS initialization.
l If the SDCCH dynamic adjustment, full-rate/half-rate dynamic adjustment, or PDCH
dynamic adjustment occurs in the cell, the types of the dynamically adjusted channels
carried by the TRXs involved in the TRX cooperation are reverted to be the initial types
after the TRX cooperation or TRX cooperation switchback.
23.4 Technical Description

This describes the principles of the BCCH TRX cooperation, baseband FH TRX cooperation,
and the TRX cooperation algorithm.
23.4.1 BCCH TRX Cooperation

This describes the BCCH TRX cooperation. When a BCCH TRX of a cell is unavailable, the
BSC specifies another available TRX in the cell to replace the original BCCH TRX, thus ensuring
that the cell is functional. When the fault of the original BCCH TRX is rectified, the BSC can
switch the BCCH back to the original TRX.
23.4.2 Baseband FH TRX Cooperation
This describes the baseband FH TRX cooperation. In a cell with the FH mode as Baseband
FH, when a TRX involved in the FH fails, the BSC initiates the baseband FH TRX cooperation
and changes the FH mode of the cell to None FH. After the TRX faults are rectified, the BSC
reverts the FH mode to Baseband FH.
23.4.3 TRX Cooperation Algorithm
This describes the algorithm adopted by the BSC to select the cooperated TRX in the TRX
cooperation.
23.4.1 BCCH TRX Cooperation

This describes the BCCH TRX cooperation. When a BCCH TRX of a cell is unavailable, the
BSC specifies another available TRX in the cell to replace the original BCCH TRX, thus ensuring
that the cell is functional. When the fault of the original BCCH TRX is rectified, the BSC can
switch the BCCH back to the original TRX.
The BCCH TRX cooperation involves the following:
l BCCH TRX cooperation

l Recovery of the original BCCH TRX
BCCH TRX Cooperation

The BCCH TRX cooperation is triggered by the required status change message reported from
the BTS.
The requirements of the BCCH TRX cooperation are as follows:
l The object in the message must be of the channel level and must be the active BCCH.

NOTE
If the BCCH TRX cooperation occurs, the object in the message must be the active BCCH after the
TRX cooperation.
l The status of the active BCCH is DISABLED.
l The availability status of the active BCCH must be one of those listed in Table 23-3.
Table 23-3 Availability status and meaning

Availability Status Meaning
POWER_OFF Indicates that the equipment is powered off.
FAILED Indicates that the equipment fails.
NOT_INSTALLED_REAL Indicates that the equipment is not installed.
DEPENDENCY Indicates that the equipment is unavailable because

of other faulty equipments.
The cell number in the BCCH TRX cooperation message is used to identify the cell where the
BCCH TRX cooperation is performed. The BCCH TRX cooperation of different cells can be
performed concurrently.
The process of the BCCH TRX cooperation is as follows:
1. When a cell meets the requirements for the BCCH TRX cooperation, the BSC starts a
protection timer with the duration as one minute.
NOTE
The protection timer with the duration of one minute can avoid the TRX cooperation caused by
unstable TRX status.
2. After the protection timer times out, the BSC checks whether the cell meets the
requirements for the TRX cooperation again.
l If the cell meets the requirements, the BSC sends requests to all the calls in the cell for
force handover and starts a 10-second timer.
l If the cell does not meet the requirements, the BSC terminates the process of TRX
cooperation.
3. After all the calls in the cell are handed over or the 10-second timer times out, the BSC
selects an available TRX in the cell to replace the original BCCH TRX.
4. The BSC initializes the cell and delivers the configuration data to the BTS. In addition, the
BSC delivers the configuration data of the original BCCH TRX to the cooperated TRX and
delivers the configuration data of the cooperated TRX to the original BCCH TRX. The
cooperated TRX thus can provide services of the original BCCH TRX.
Recovery of the Original BCCH TRX

After the BCCH TRX cooperation, if the fault on the original BCCH TRX in the cell is rectified,
recovery of the original BCCH TRX is performed. The configuration data of the two TRXs
involved in the TRX cooperation is adjusted, and the initial configuration data of the cell is
restored.
The process of the original BCCH TRX recovery is similar to that of the BCCH TRX
cooperation. The differences between them are the triggering conditions and processing. The

time for the recovery of the original baseband FH TRX is controlled through parameters. The
options include Allowed & Recover Immediately, Allowed & Recover When Check Res and
Allowed & Recover Forbidden.
The recovery of the original BCCH TRX is triggered by the required status change message
reported from the BTS. The recovery of the original BCCH TRX requires that the status of the
original BCCH TRX is ENABLED.
The cell number in the BCCH TRX recovery message is used to identify the cell where the
recovery of the original BCCH TRX is performed. The recovery of the original BCCH TRX of
different cells can be performed concurrently.
The process of the BCCH TRX recovery is as follows:
1. When a cell meets the requirements for the recovery of the original BCCH TRX, the BSC
starts a protection timer with the duration of one minute.
NOTE
The protection timer with the duration of one minute can avoid the recovery of the original BCCH
TRX caused by unstable TRX status.
requirements for the recovery of the original BCCH TRX again.
l If the cell does not meet the requirements, the BSC terminates the process of the
baseband FH TRX recovery.
3. After all the calls in the cell are handed over or the 10-second timer times out, the current
BCCH is switched back to the original TRX.
4. The BSC initializes the cell, delivers new configuration data to the BTS, and restores the
initial configuration data before the TRX cooperation according to certain mapping rules.
23.4.2 Baseband FH TRX Cooperation

This describes the baseband FH TRX cooperation. In a cell with the FH mode as Baseband
FH, when a TRX involved in the FH fails, the BSC initiates the baseband FH TRX cooperation
and changes the FH mode of the cell to None FH. After the TRX faults are rectified, the BSC
reverts the FH mode to Baseband FH.
The baseband FH TRX cooperation involves the following:
l Baseband FH TRX cooperation

l Recovery of the original baseband FH TRX
Baseband FH TRX cooperation

The baseband FH TRX cooperation can be performed in only the baseband FH cell, and is
triggered by the required status change message reported from the BTS.
The requirements for the baseband FH TRX cooperation are as follows:
l The object in the message must be of the BT level and must be the TRX involved in the
baseband FH.
l The status of the TRX is DISABLED.

l The availability status of the TRX must be one of those listed in Table 23-4.

4. The BSC initializes the cell, delivers new configuration data to the BTS, and changes the
FH mode of the cell from Baseband FH to None FH.
Recovery of the original baseband FH TRX

When the faults of the baseband FH TRX in the cell are rectified, the BSC reverts the FH mode
of the cell to Baseband FH. The time for the recovery of the original baseband FH TRX is
controlled through parameters. The options include Allowed & Recover Immediately, Allowed
& Recover When Check Res and Allowed & Recover Forbidden.
The process of the original baseband FH TRX recovery is similar to that of the baseband FH
TRX cooperation. The differences between them are the triggering conditions and processing.
The recovery of the original baseband FH TRX can be performed in only the baseband FH cell,
and is triggered by the required status change message reported from the BTS. The status of the
original baseband FH TRX must be ENABLED.

The cell number in the baseband FH TRX recovery message is used to identify the cell where
the recovery of the original baseband FH TRX is performed. The recovery of the original
baseband FH TRX can be performed concurrently in different cells.
The process of the baseband FH TRX recovery is as follows:
1. When a cell meets the requirements for the recovery of the original baseband FH TRX, the

changes the FH mode of the cell from None FH to Baseband FH.
4. The BSC initializes the cell, delivers new configuration data to the BTS, and changes the
FH mode of the cell from None FH to Baseband FH.
23.4.3 TRX Cooperation Algorithm

This describes the algorithm adopted by the BSC to select the cooperated TRX in the TRX
cooperation.
The TRX cooperation consists of the following stages:
l Default stage
l Processing before the TRX cooperation
l Processing after the TRX cooperation
In the TRX cooperation, the BSC takes the following protection measures to ensure the
communication quality of the radio network.
l Processing before the TRX cooperation: avoids the frequent TRX cooperation caused by
the TRX intermittence.
l Processing after the TRX cooperation: provides sufficient time for the calls in the cell where
the TRX cooperation is performed.
23.4.3.1 Checking the Availability Status of the Cell
This describes how to check the availability status of a cell to determine whether the cell meets
the requirements for the TRX cooperation.
23.4.3.2 Checking the TRX Status
This describes how to check the TRX status to specify the type of the TRX cooperation in a cell.
23.4.3.3 Processing Before the TRX Cooperation
This describes the processing before the TRX cooperation. The processing before the TRX
cooperation involves searching for the cooperated TRX and processing after the TRX
cooperation.

Checking the Availability Status of the Cell

This describes how to check the availability status of a cell to determine whether the cell meets
The cell status check is triggered by the task per second. The 512 cells are checked cyclically.
In the cell status check, the BSC ignores the cell in the abnormal state and finds the cell meeting
The cells in the abnormal state are as follows:
l AIDING_EXPT_CELL_NOT_INSTALL: The cell is not installed.

l AIDING_EXPT_IN_INITIAL_PROCESS: The cell is not in the working state.
l AIDING_EXPT_OML_ABNORMAL: The OML of the cell is disconnected.
l AIDING_EXPT_DATA_ADJUST_DISABLE: The dynamic adjustment is not allowed.
l AIDING_EXPT_NOT_AIDING_BUTT: The TRX cooperation is not in the default state.
l AIDING_EXPT_INITIAL_PROTECT: The cell is initialized for less than 15 minutes.
After the BSC finds the normal cell, the TRX cooperation process is started.
Checking the TRX Status

This describes how to check the TRX status to specify the type of the TRX cooperation in a cell.
Conditions of the BCCH TRX Cooperation

The BCCH TRX cooperation and the recovery of the original BCCH TRX can be performed
only when all the conditions listed in Table 23-5 are satisfied.

NOTE
When the BCCH TRX cooperation is performed in the cell where the baseband FH occurs, the BSC initiates
the baseband FH TRX cooperation forcibly and changes the FH mode of the cell from Baseband FH to
None FH.
After the TRX status check is complete, if the BSC detects that the TRX cooperation is not
required, the TRX cooperation is quitted. If the BSC detects that the conditions of the TRX
cooperation are satisfied, the BSC starts a timer for the processing before the TRX cooperation
with the duration as one minute. When the timer for the processing before the TRX cooperation
times out, the BSC starts the processing before the TRX cooperation.
The BSC then checks the TRX status again to avoid the frequent TRX cooperation caused by
TRX intermittence. If the BCCH TRX cooperation is required, the BSC starts to search the
cooperated TRX.
Processing Before the TRX Cooperation

This describes the processing before the TRX cooperation. The processing before the TRX
cooperation involves searching for the cooperated TRX and processing after the TRX
cooperation.
Searching for the Cooperated TRX

Before starting the BCCH TRX cooperation, the BSC must select a normal TRX in the cell as
the candidate cooperated TRX. In the selection, configuration of the TRX should be considered.
The following TRXs cannot be selected as the candidate cooperated TRX:
l TRX where the current BCCH is located

l TRX that is in a different TMU from the original BCCH TRX (The BCCH TRX cooperation
cannot be performed across cabinet groups.) 

l TRX in the DISABLED state

l TRX that cannot exchange frequencies with the original BCCH TRX (The TRX, the CDU
and PBU to which the TRX belongs do not support the frequencies of the original BCCH.)
l TRX involved in the RF FH in the cavity combiner
l TRX that is in a different cavity combiner from that of the original BCCH TRX, and whose
frequency spacing is less than 3 after the frequency exchange.
The BSC puts all the available TRXs in the cell into the candidate TRX queue, and then ranks
them according to priorities. The TRX with the highest priority is selected as the candidate
cooperated BCCH TRX.
The principle for accessing the priorities is as follows: Each TRX is assigned with a byte.
Initially, the byte is set to OXFF. Each bit represents whether the related function is supported.
When a certain condition is satisfied, the bit is set to 0. After the assessment of the priorities,
the smaller the value, the higher the priority. Figure 23-1 lists the principles for assessing the
priority of the candidate TRX.

bit1 bit1=0: The candidate TRX is not configured with the CBCH.
bit2 Bit2=0: The transmit and receive mode of the candidate TRX is the same as that
of the original active BCCH TRX.
NOTE
The transmit and receive mode is a concept in the BTS3012. The RF transmit modes
supported by the DTRU of the BTS3012 include non-combination, Power Boost
Technology (PBT), wideband combination, and transmit diversity; the receive modes
supported by the DTRU of the BTS3012 include independent receive, receive diversity,
and four-way receive diversity. The transmit and receive mode of other types of BTSs is
OXFF.

Bit Meaning
bit3 bit3=0: If the original active BCCH TRX supports the EDGE, the candidate TRX
also supports the EDGE; if the original active BCCH TRX does not support the
EDGE, the candidate TRX does not support the EDGE.
bit4 bit4=0: The candidate TRX is in the underlaid subcell.

If the cell is a concentric cell, the active BCCH TRX is generally in the underlaid
subcell and has a wide coverage. If the active BCCH TRX fails, the coverage of
the cell decreases.
bit5 Reserved.
bit6
bit7
In the TRX cooperation, the cell needs to be initialized. The calls in the current cell must be
handed over to other cells in order not to affect the voice quality. After the processing before
the TRX cooperation, the BSC starts a time for processing after the TRX cooperation with the
duration of 10 seconds to ensure sufficient time for the handover of all calls in the cell.
Processing After the TRX Cooperation

When the timer for the processing after the TRX cooperation times out, the BSC starts the
processing after the TRX cooperation.
The processing after the TRX cooperation includes the following:
l Modifying the dynamic variables
The BSC records the numbers of the cooperated TRX, the original BCCH TRX, and the
current BCCH TRX. The cooperated TRX is mapped to the original BCCH TRX, and the
initial configuration of the current BCCH TRX is restored. When the cell is initialized, the
BSC delivers configuration information to the each TRX according to the mapping rules.
l Sending alarms
The alarms include 401 BCCH Mutual Aid in a Cell, 402 Switchback after BCCH
Mutual Aid in a Cell, 409 Cell BCCH Aiding to IUO_INN TRX, 403 Baseband FH
Mutual Aid in a Cell, and 404 Switchback after Baseband FH Mutual Aid in a Cell.
l Requesting the initialization of the cell
The cell needs to be initialized in both the BCCH TRX cooperation and the baseband FH
TRX cooperation. In the cell initialization of the BCCH TRX cooperation, the configuration
of the original BCCH TRX and that of the cooperated TRX are exchanged except the
attributes of whether the AMR is supported and the RF receive mode and not exchanged.
