Parameter Description 1 About This Document
The GBFD-111609 Enhanced BCCH Power Consumption Optimization feature is separated

from Intelligent Power Consumption Decrease Feature Parameter Description, and the
descriptions about the feature are optimized.

GSM BSS
Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
In the GSM system, to prepare for possible cell selection, cell reselection, and MS handover, all
timeslots on the BCCH carrier always transmit signals at the configured power, regardless of
whether the timeslots are idle or not, to ensure that MSs can accurately measure the downlink
receive level in a cell. Therefore, the radio frequency (RF) module housing the BCCH carrier is
one of the BTS components that consume the most power.
To decrease the power consumption of the BCCH carrier, Huawei introduces the Enhanced
BCCH Power Consumption Optimization feature. With this feature, the transmit power of non-
BCCH timeslots on the BCCH carrier can be decreased during off-peak hours. This helps
decrease the BTS power consumption.
2.2 Benefits
This feature provides the following benefits:
l Reduces the BTS power consumption.
l Reduces the network interference and allows tight frequency reuse patterns by reducing
the transmit power of non-BCCH timeslots on the BCCH carrier.

GSM BSS
Parameter Description 3 Technical Description
3 Technical Description
The Enhanced BCCH Power Consumption Optimization feature reduces the transmit power of
non-BCCH timeslots (timeslots 1 to 7) on the BCCH carrier. This feature provides the following
functions:
l Function 1: reducing the transmit power of idle timeslots among timeslots 1 to 7 on the
BCCH carrier
l Function 2: performing downlink power control on occupied timeslots among timeslots 1
to 7 on the BCCH carrier
The MAINBCCHPWRDTEN parameter controls whether to enable function 1, and the
MAINBCCHPWDTACTCHEN parameter controls whether to enable function 2, which is
optional.
When this feature is enabled in a cell, the downlink receive level of the cell measured by MSs
camping on a neighboring cell becomes inaccurate. This affects handovers to the cell. Therefore,
you must set the time the feature starts and stops to appropriate values, which are specified by
the MAINBCCHPWRDTSTIME and MAINBCCHPWRDTETIME parameters, respectively.
Reducing the Transmit Power of Idle Timeslots Among Timeslots 1 to 7

When some timeslots among timeslots 1 to 7 on the BCCH carrier are idle, this feature decreases
their transmit power, as shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 Reducing the transmit power

GSM BSS
Parameter Description 3 Technical Description
When MAINBCCHPWRDTEN is set to YES(Yes), and the current time is between

MAINBCCHPWRDTSTIME and MAINBCCHPWRDTETIME, the BTS decreases the
transmit power of idle timeslots among timeslots 1 to 7 on the BCCH carrier by ΔP, which is
specified by the MAINBCCHPWRDTRANGE parameter.
Performing Downlink Power Control on Occupied Timeslots Among Timeslots 1

to 7
When some timeslots among timeslots 1 to 7 on the BCCH carrier are occupied, this feature
performs downlink power control on them, as shown in Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2 Performing downlink power control
When both MAINBCCHPWRDTEN and MAINBCCHPWDTACTCHEN are set to YES

(Yes), and the current time is between MAINBCCHPWRDTSTIME and
MAINBCCHPWRDTETIME, the BTS performs downlink power control on occupied timeslots
among timeslots 1 to 7 on the BCCH carrier at a maximum step of ΔPmax, which is specified by
the MAINBCCHPWRDTRANGE parameter.

6.5 Performance Monitoring

Observe access- and handover-related counters.
6.6 Parameter Optimization

If KPIs are significantly affected after Enhanced BCCH Power Consumption Optimization is
enabled, optimize the parameters as follows:
l Modify MAINBCCHPWRDTSTIME and MAINBCCHPWRDTETIME based on the
traffic distribution so that this feature takes effect when traffic is light.
l Decrease the value of MAINBCCHPWRDTRANGE.
