2 Version Compatibility
This chapter introduces the compatibility between history versions of the product. For
compatible version, a smooth upgrade from a lower version to a higher version can be
achieved.
2.1 Compatibility with History Product Versions

This version is compatible with all the history versions of the product released before.
3 Version Changes
This chapter describes the updates related to features, MML commands, alarms, counters, and
configuration parameters.
3.1 Changes from V900R008C01 to V900R008C12

3.1.1 Features Changes
New Features
1. Cell Tracing
Feature The cell tracing function can trace the call signaling of the first
Description accessed 16 calls in the cell. The call signaling that can be traced
includes the signaling on the A interface and that on the Abis
interface.
Benefits The cell tracing log facilitates the locating of the network problem
and helps save the cost of conducting the drive test and dialing test
for troubleshooting.
Implementation You can issue the cell tracing command on the M2000 to trace the
calls of a specified cell. A maximum of 16 calls in the specified cell
can be traced at a time. The cell tracing function applies the first-in
first-traced principle. After a tracing task is started, the first accessed
16 calls in the traced cell are traced. If a call is complete, a newly
accessed call is traced.
You can choose the cells to be traced on the basis of the CELLID.
The GBSC allows saving and review of the tracing log. You can also
choose to trace only the signaling on the A interface or only the
signaling on the Abis interface. When the signaling on the Abis
interface is traced, you can choose whether to trace the measurement
report.

2. IBCA
Feature IBCA stands for interference based channel allocation. In IBCA,
Description when a call accesses the network, the interference of the new call to
the established calls and the interference of the established calls to
the new call are calculated. Based on the calculation, the network
allocates a channel with the minimum interference to the new call.
This approach minimizes the overall interference in the network,
improves the efficiency of the frequency usage, and increases the
network capacity while maintaining the voice quality in the whole
network.
Benefits IBCA provides these benefits:
 Increasing the frequency usage by 30%–40% and increasing the
network capacity while maintaining the network quality
 Reducing the overall interference and improving the network
quality.
Improving the voice quality.
Implementation In GSM, the loose frequency reuse makes better network quality,
higher network KPI, and excellent voice quality, but reduced network
capacity, which is a disadvantage comparing to the tight frequency
reuse. The tight frequency reuse scheme increases the network
capacity. However, the probability of the TRXs using the same
frequency or adjacent frequencies increases. This results in more co-
channel interference or adjacent channel interference, which can
further leads to decreased network quality.
Based on the timeslot synchronization on the air interface, the IBCA
function takes into account the interference strength of all idle
channels and allocates the channel with the minimum interference to
the network preferentially. IBCA performs the following:
 Calculates the interference of the established calls to the new call.
IBCA must be used along with the frequency hopping. The idle
channels with different MAIO values transmit signals over the air
interface with different frequencies, and the interference they
experience from the established calls may vary. The IBCA function
calculates the interference to each idle channel when different
MAIO values are applied.
 Calculates the interference to the established calls caused by the
new call. If the established calls can interfere with the new call,
once the call accesses the network, the new call also interferes with
the established calls. The IBCA evaluates the carrier-to-
interference ratio of the new call to the established calls.
Taking into account the preceding two types of interference,
allocate a channel with minimum interference to the network and
the MAIO value to the call for access request. The IBCA function
consists of the intra-BSC IBCA and inter-BSC IBCA. In other
words, the IBCA-enabled cell can belong to either one BSC or to
multiple BSCs.
The implementation of the IBCA improves the frequency usage, and
further increases the network capacity. In addition, the interference
between the established calls and the new call is also considered
when allocating a channel to the new call. Thus, the IBCA helps to
improve the call quality.
Related 1. Set the TRX in the IBCA-enabled cell to work in FH mode, and
Operations configure the parameter MAIO Plan.
2. Set IBCA Allowed to Yes.
3. Create the neighbor-cell relation for 2G neighbor cells, and enable
IBCA Neighbor Cell Flag and IBCA Dynamic Measure Neighbor
Cell Flag.
4. Set Site Synchronization Method to Air Interface Software
Synchronization.
5. To enable the IBCA algorithm for the cells under different BSCs,
configure the signaling point for an external BSC.
3. Active Backup Power Control

Feature Once the external power of the BTS is disrupted, the BTS uses the
Description backup battery to supply the power, and then gradually shuts down
the TRXs and decreases the transmit power of the TRX to prolong
the service time of the BTS.
Benefits  The gradually reduction of backup power function decreases the
power consumption of the BTS, prolongs the service time of the
BTS, and decreases the out-of-service cell rate when the external
power supply of the BTS is disrupted.
 This function increases the discharge time of the battery, saves the
working time of the generator, and thus saves the cost of the power
supply.
 The reduction of out-of-service cell rate improves the network KPI
and the service quality of operators.
Implementation When the external power supply of the BTS is disrupted, a power-off
alarm is sent to the BTS. The BTS then uses the battery to supply the
power. To save the backup power, the BTS shuts down some of the
TRXs automatically under the control of the timer, and then
decreases the transmit power of the TRX gradually in a certain step
until the BTS is switched off. When the external power supply of the
BTS is restored, the previously shutdown TRXs are switched on and
all TRXs transmit at the normal power.
Related Configure the following parameters for the BTS:
Operations Backup Power Saving Policy, Backup Power Saving Method, Drop
Power Start Time (T1), Shutdown Trx Start Time (T2), Drop Power
Time Interval (T3), Drop Power Step, and Max Drop Power
Threshold
4. PSU Smart Control

Feature The PSU(Power Supply Unit Module) intelligent shutdown function
Description shuts down the redundant PDUs based on the BTS load on the
condition that the required power consumption of the BTS is met.
Benefits  This function improves the efficiency of the power conversion;
reduces the power consumption, and saves the operating cost.
 This function prolongs the working time and lifetime of the PSU.
Implementation The PSU intelligent shutdown function switches on only the required
PSUs and shuts down the redundant PSUs to improve the efficiency
of the power system and prolong the lifetime of the power system.
Related Configure the following parameters for the BTS:
Operations PSU Turning Off Enable
5. Abis Congestion Triggered HR Allocation

Feature When the Abis interface congestion occurs, the calls are handed over
Description from TCHF to TCHH. The TCHH is preferentially allocated to the
new call.
Benefits This function helps save the Abis transmission resources and reduce
the network construction cost. When the Abis interface congestion
occurs, the speech quality is degraded to guarantee the system
capacity. When the congestion is rectified, the voice quality is
recovered and the balance between the system capacity and voice
quality is maintained.
Implementation When the Abis compression technique is applied, including GBFD-
7301 Flex Abis, GBFD-8401 Abis Transmission Optimization,
GBFD-8402 Hub BTS in HDLC Mode, and GBFD-8601 Abis over
IP, one timeslot on the Abis interface does not necessarily map with
one timeslot on the air interface. In heavy traffic hours, if the Abis
transmission resources are not sufficient, the Abis transmission may
be congested earlier than the air interface. The TCHF-to-TCHH
conversion based on the air interface load and the mechanism of
preferentially allocating TCHH cannot guarantee the system capacity.
Based on the congestion status on the Abis interface, the Abis
congestion triggered HR allocation function performs dynamic
TCHF-TCHH conversion, preferentially allocates TCHH, and carries
out queuing and pre-emption to ease the Abis interface congestion
and to increase the system capacity.
Dynamic TCHF-TCHH conversion: When the Abis interface
congestion occurs, the qualified calls, such as calls originated by non-
VIP subscribers, calls with high speech quality, or calls with allowed
path loss, are handed over from TCHF to TCHH. This eases the
congestion on the Abis interface and improves the system capacity.
When the Abis interface congestion is rectified, the qualified calls in
the cell are handed over from TCHH to TCHF to improve the speech
quality of the calls.
Preferentially allocating the TCHH: When the A interface
congestion occurs, the TCHHs are preferentially allocated to the
newly accessed calls to slow down the congestion.
Queuing/Pre-emption: Similar to the queuing/pre-emption
mechanism for the Air interface congestion, when the Abis interface
is severely congested, the queuing/pre-emption is performed for calls
that allow queuing/pre-emption on assignment or incoming handover.
This guarantees that services can be provided to subscribers with
high priority even if the Abis interface is severely congested.
 If the TDM transmission is used on the Abis interface, the
preferentially allocating the TCHH mechanism is applied to rectify
the Abis interface congestion occurred when using GBFD-7301
Flex Abis.
 If HDLC is applied on the Abis interface, the preferentially
allocating the TCHH mechanism and queuing/pre-emption
mechanism are applied to rectify the Abis interface congestion
occurred when using GBFD-8401 Abis Transmission Optimization
or GBFD-8402 Hub BTS in HDLC Mode.
 If the IP transmission is used on the Abis interface, the dynamic
TCHF-TCHH conversion, preferentially allocating the TCHH, and
queuing/pre-emption mechanisms are applied to rectify the Abis
interface congestion when using GBFD-8601 Abis over IP.
Related Preferentially allocating the TCHH: In the Abis congestion situation,
Operations if any of the parameters LDR First, LDR Second, LDR Third, and
LDR Fourthly is set to CS Preference TCCH, then all the cells
under the congested cells are allocated with half-rate channels by
preference.
Queuing/Pre-emption: In the Abis congestion situation, if a cell is
already in reserved status (severely congested), then the calls
supporting queuing/preemption in the assignment or incoming
handover procedure will be put into a queue or their resources be
preempted.
Dynamic TCHF-TCHH conversion: In the Abis congestion situation,
if any of the parameters LDR First, LDR Second, LDR Third, and
LDR Fourthly is set to CS TCHF-TCHH HO and HO Control
Switch is set to HO Algorithm II, then set Intracell HO Allowed to
Yes, IntraCell AMR TCHF-TCHH Ho Allowed to Yes, and
IntraCell Non-AMR TCHF-TCHH Ho Allowed to Yes.
6. PS Active Queue Management

Feature When the PS Active Queue Management function is enabled, the
Description real-time status of the network is monitored. Once the network is
congested, the system drops the data packets proactively and TCP
sending end adjusts the sending rate to maintain the buffer queue at a
certain length to ease the congestion.
Benefits  The PS Active Queue Management function is applicable to
scenarios where congestion may occur because of bandwidth
limitation. This function helps maintain high utilization of the
bandwidth, shorten the delay of the packet service, and enhance the
fairness of the bandwidth sharing among the data flows.
 The PS Active Queue Management function improves the packet
service performance. For example, when large files are involved in
the packet service of the MS subscriber, such as FTP downloading
and Email sending, this function shortens the service delay and thus
improves the user experience.
Implementation The PS Active Queue Management function provides active queue
management and real-time monitoring of the buffer queue to monitor
the network congestion. Once the network is congested, the system
drops the data packets proactively and adjusts the sending rate at the
TCP sending end to maintain the buffer queue at a certain length to
ease the congestion. Compared to the reactive queue management (a
technique which drops the overflowed packets only when the queue
is full), the PS Active Queue Management function eases the network
congestion caused by the TCP data flow, and thus improves the
service throughput and shortens the service delay.
Related Enable the BSC software parameter Aqm Switch.

7. PoC QOS
Feature The push to talk over cellular (PoC) service is a type of real-time
Description packet service that has demanding requirement for the bandwidth and
delay. To guarantee the service quality of the PoC service, Huawei
GBSS provides GBR, shortened data transmission delay, balanced
uplink and downlink channel allocation, and guaranteed real-time
performance of the PoC service.
Benefits This function guarantees the real-time performance of the PoC
service, improves the speech quality of the PoC service, and
enhances the user experience. This helps the operator possess
competitive advantages, provide differentiated services for data
service subscribers, and increase the service revenue.
Implementation The PoC service is a type of group call service implemented on a
GSM network. The PoC service is based on the GPRS/EGPRS
network using the PS technique.
The PoC service involves user authentication, conversation
establishment, media dispatching, charging, and strategy control,
most of which run on the PoC server in the core network. The PoC
signaling and voice data are carried over GPRS/EGPRS in data
packets. The GBSS transparently transfers these packets to the core
network for further processing. Unlike common PS services, the PoC
service requires short delay because the voice data is carried, and
thus a long delay can directly affect the user experience. Huawei
GBSS is able to identify the PoC service and provides certain
measures to guarantee the QoS. These measures include GBR,
decreasing the data transmission delay, and balanced uplink and
downlink channel allocation.
GBR: For the MS that supports GBR, the resources are allocated
based on the bandwidth negotiated by the network and the MS. For
the MS that does not support GBR, the resources are allocated based
on the BEST EFFORT procedure.
Decreasing the data transmission delay: Radio block resources can
be classified into reserved resources (to guarantee the QoS) and
unreserved resources. Reserved resources are dedicated for services
requiring QoS guarantee and are not scheduled. Unreserved resources
are shared resources and are scheduled on the basis of service
priorities. Based on service priorities, TBFs are placed in multiple
processing queues. When radio block resources are scheduled, the
TBFs with high priorities are preferentially scheduled. The TBFs
with the same priority are scheduled in turn.
Balanced uplink and downlink channel allocation: When selecting
channels for the PoC service, the system applies the balanced uplink
and downlink channel allocation. A similar number of PDCHs are
allocated in the uplink and downlink when the multislot class of the
MS allows and the requirements of GBR are met. In most cases, the
PoC service requires the uplink TBF and downlink TBF
simultaneously with asymmetrical traffic in the uplink and downlink.
The channel combination allocated must meet the requirement of the
MS multislot capability and GBR. If the GBR requirement cannot be
met, GBR renegotiation is required.
Related 1. Set PFC Support to Yes, and then reset SIGBVC.
Operations 2. Set Support Gbr QoS to Support.
8. DTM
Feature The dual transfer mode (DTM) function allows simultaneous transfer
Description of CS service and PS service. That is, a subscriber can send photos
and browse websites while having a call. The 3G network provides
concurrent CS service and PS service. With the DTM function, a
GSM network can provide its subscribers with services similar as that
provided in a 3G network. In addition, in areas with insufficient 3G
coverage, subscribers can access the services that are similar to 3G
services through the 2G network by using the DTM function.
Benefits  The DTM function supports simultaneous processing of the CS
service and PS service. The PS service can be used without
interrupting the CS service.
 DTM allows the implementation of concurrent CS service and PS
service in a 2G network. The concurrent CS service and PS service
is originally available only in a 3G network.
 The DTM function is the foundation for the concurrent CS service
and PS service. For example, the Class11 DTM function and HMC
DTM function are both based on the DTM function.
With the development of time, the new point of profit growth shifts
to the data service. The concurrent CS service and PS service
becomes the new requirement. Without the DTM function, only the
class A mobile phone with complex hardware supports the concurrent
CS service and PS service. Due to the complexity of the class A
mobile phone, few manufacturers provide such mobile phones. With
the DTM function, the class B mobile phone can support the
concurrent CS service and PS service, which lays the foundation for
wide application of data services. With the interaction between the
CS service and PS service and the multimedia services provided by
the operators, the call duration prolongs and a large amount of data
traffic is generated. This can bring the operators considerable revenue
increase.
Implementation DTM is a 3GPP-defined standard function. DTM implements the
simplified class A mobile phone operation, that is, the concurrent CS
service and PS service. In DTM mode, the CS resource (TCH) and
PS resource (PDCH) are allocated to the mobile phone
simultaneously. According to the multislot capability of the mobile
phone, different number of channels can be allocated to the MS in the
uplink and downlink to meet the requirement for different bandwidth.
DTM supports MS multislot class 5 and all higher classes. According
to the MS multislot capability, a maximum of two channels can be
allocated to the MS in the uplink or downlink with one channel for
CS service and the other for PS service.
The DTM function must be enabled along with the A interface
collaboration paging function. In such a case, the mobile phone is
able to accept the paging request of the CS domain from the A
interface while engaging in the PS service. When DTM is enabled in
a cell, the BSC that serves the cell supports the A interface
collaboration paging function.
For an MS supporting DTM, when the MS initiates a location update
request in CS mode, the CS channel (FACCH or SDCCH) can be
used for the location update and no separate PDCH is required. This
saves the PS channel resources.
In DTM mode, the MS can establish a PS connection only after a CS
connection is established. If an MS engaged in the PS service needs
to switch to DTM mode, the TBF must be released first; after that,
the MS switches to CS mode and establishes a TBF connection; at
this time, the MS can work in DTM mode. The following figure
illustrates the state transition in DTM mode.

9. Abis MUX
Feature The Abis MUX function applies multiplexing to the packets
Description transmitted over the Abis interface. The IP/UDP packets that met the
multiplexing condition are multiplexed at the transmitting end and
then demultiplexed at the receiving end.
Benefits By multiplexing and demultiplexing the IP/UDP packet, the Abis
MUX function reduces the average length of each IP packet, and
hence increases the efficiency of the IP transmission.
Implementation The speech payload in GSM is small. After the IP transport is
applied, the transmission efficiency of the speech is low because the
speech payload, which is smaller than the IP/UDP header, is carried
in the IP/UDP packets. To address this issue, the IP/UDP header is
multiplexed. That is, the UDP packets that meet the multiplexing
condition are multiplexed at the transmitting end, and demultiplexed
at the receiving end. In this way, several UDP/IP packets are
multiplexed on one UDP/IP packet; in addition, several speech
packets share one IP/UDP header. The increased transmission
efficiency, therefore, is achieved.

Operations Add BSC ABIS-MUX Flow, and Add BTS ABIS-MUX Flow.
10. IP QoS
Feature The IP QoS function provides a systematic QoS mechanism for the
Description IP transmission and ensures the transmission quality.
Benefits The function guarantees the wireless network KPI while reducing the
transmission delay, transmission delay variation, and IP packet loss
rate (IPLR).
Implementation For the IP-based GBSS, the transmission resources are reused instead
of being occupied exclusively. When the transmission resources are
not sufficient, increased delay, packet loss, and service dropping are
all the possible consequences in case of congestion. The systematic
QoS is to address this issue and guarantee the IP transmission quality.
Huawei GBSS provides different QoS mechanisms in each layer to
guarantee the end-to-end QoS.
Application layer:
1. Resource reservation
2. Scheduling control based on the congestion status
3. Logical port shaping
4. IP PATH
IP layer:

11. Clock Over IP

Feature Clock over IP provides clock synchronization for several BTSs in the
Description IP network. Compare with the GPS clock, it is a low-cost clock
solution. The transmission cost increases because the IP timing
packets are sent continuously. The function provided by Huawei,
however, allows the operator to define the interval for sending IP
timing packets. It can reduce the transmission bandwidth as long as the
BTS clock synchronization is guaranteed.
Benefits In the IP-based GSM network, this function provides clock
synchronization to guarantee the normal operation of the GSM system.
Implementation Clock over IP is a low-cost clock solution, and it comprises the IP
clock server and the IP clock client. The IP clock server obtains clock
reference source from a clock device, such as a GPS or BITS. Then,
the IP clock server sends the clock synchronization information to the
BTS by means of timing packets. The BTS performs the adaptive
operation on the IP packets and obtains the clock synchronization
information.
Each IP timing packet needs to occupy a certain bandwidth. Under the
condition of leased network and satellite transmission, the
transmission cost may increase if the IP timing packets are sent
continuously. This may also influence the services when the network
is busy. The function provided by Huawei, however, allows the
operator to define the interval for sending IP timing packets. So the IP
timing packets can be sent when the load of the network is light.
Because the BTS clock provided by Huawei can keep the precision of
0.05ppm within 90 days, regular sending of the IP timing packets can
reduce the bandwidth and avoid the out-of-synchronization of the BTS
clock. The following figure shows the application scenario of the
Clock over IP.
Related Configure the following BTS clock parameters:
Operations Clock Synchronization Mode, Interval Synchronization Period(Day),
Interval Synchronization Start Time(Hour), and Interval
Synchronization Start Time(Minute).
12. IP Performance Monitor

Feature IP performance monitor (PM) detects the QoS of the transmission
Description network. Timely and fast detection of the QoS of the bearer network
allows the system to adjust the sending of the service traffic, and thus
prevents from network congestion. The QoS detection of the IP
transmission network is the base for flow control and admission
control of the GSM equipment.
Benefits When high packet loss rate and increased transmission delay
deviation are detected by the IP PM function, the BSC adjusts the
traffic to be sent to reduce the link load and ease the link congestion.
Implementation The IP PM function uses forward monitoring (FM) and backward
reporting (BR) to detect packet loss. The sending end sends the FM
message periodically to notify the receiving end of the number of
packets. On receiving the FM message, the receiving end responds
with a BR message to report the number of received packets. The
sending end then determines the packet loss and delay based on the
BR message received from the receiving end. The following figure
illustrates the principle of the IP PM function.
The IP PM function implements the flow control and admission

control based on the delay variation and packet loss rate on the tested
IP link between the BSC and BTS. The IP PM function then adjusts
the sending rate over the logical port of the link to reduce the load
and ease the congestion on the link. The IP PM function is based on
the private protocol of Huawei. It requires the support of both the
BSC and BTS.

13. HUAWEI II Handover

Feature HUAWEI II Handover Algorithm is optimized from HUAWEI I
Description handover algorithm. It takes all results of handover decisions into
account, thus making the results of handover decisions more
accurate.
Benefits HUAWEI II Handover Algorithm improves the accuracy of the
handover decision, increases the handover success rate, enhances the
network quality, and improves the network KPIs.
Implementation HUAWEI II Handover Algorithm is categorized into four types,
namely, intra-cell handover, inter-cell handover, emergency
handover, and forced handover. Four types of handover algorithms
include 13 handover algorithms. The priority of the algorithms is as
follows: forced handover > fast movement handover > TA handover
> BQ handover > rapid level drop handover > interference handover
> enhanced dualband network handover > edge handover > PBGT
handover > concentric cell handover > AMR handover > 3G better
cell handover > load handover > hierarchical handover. HUAWEI II
Handover Algorithm traverses the decisions of all handovers in the
handover decision phase. If the triggering condition of a handover is
met during the traverse, the handover is not performed immediately.
In this phase, the candidate target cell lists with handover cause
values are generated. After all handover decisions are traversed,
HUAWEI II Handover Algorithm takes the union from the candidate
target cell lists corresponding to the handovers that meet the
triggering condition, and then generates the final target cell list for
the handover.

14. Handover Re-establishment

Feature On receiving the Error Indication message from the BTS during the
Description handover process, the BSC does not process in the call drop case but
attempts to re-establish the call on the old channel.
Benefits This function decreases the call drop rate during the handover,
enhances the user satisfaction, and improves the network KPIs.
Implementation In the handover process, the BSC sends the Handover Command
message to the MS. If it does not receive any response from the MS
but receives the Error Indication message from the BTS, the BSC
processes in the call drop case. After this function is enabled, the
BSC instructs the BTS to re-establish a call on the old link after the
BSC receives the Error Indication message on the old link. If the call
re-establishment is successful, the MS will make calls on the old
channel and no call drop occurs.
Related Configure cell parameters so that the call reestablishment function is
Operations supported.
15. RAN Sharing
Feature Under the condition of keeping the independency of core networks of
Description multiple network operators, the RAN Sharing function enables
multiple network operators to share one GBSS network so that they
can use the resources (including the BSC, BTS, antenna system,
transmission, and so on) in the GBSS network simultaneously.
Benefits  The GBSS sharing can make new network operators accessing the
network easily and implement the network coverage of the network
operators quickly.
 Through the sharing of the equipment on current network, the
operator can fully use the network resources and increase the
revenue.
 Reduce the comprehensive operation cost of the network operators.
 Multiple network operators can operate the radio services
independently so that they can keep the independence of the
business development from the network planning.
Implementation The shared services in the GBSS are CS services and PS services.
The GBSS will route the services to the specific core network (MSC
or SGSN) to which the cell belongs for processing.
In addition, the RAN Sharing supports the coexistence of the sharing
resources and non-sharing resources in the GBSS. For example, some
resources in the GBSS, such as all the resources under one BTS, may
belong to one specific network operator so that other network
operators cannot use these resources. On the other hand, the
resources under other BTSs of the GBSS can be shared by multiple
network operators.

Description
Benefits EICC can improve the uplink anti-interference capability, thus

enhancing the uplink speech quality and data throughput accordingly.
With the improved uplink anti-interference capability, the aggressive
frequency reuse mode can be used to expand the system capacity.
Implementation The interference elements of the multi-path signals received by
multiple antennas are associated with co-channel interference (CCI)
and inter-symbol interference (ISI). ICC processes these two types of
interference independently and eliminates the space domain
interference and the time domain interference respectively.
Considering the correlation of these two types of interference, EICC
constructs the multidimensional combining ratio matrix to combine
the signals based on the maximum signal-to-noise ratio criterion.

17. Intelligent Combiner Bypass

Feature The double-transceiver BTS has a built-in combiner. Even when
Description carrier signals are output through the combining port, the signal
strength varies with the combining mode. If the wideband
combination mode is used, the carrier signals through the combiner
are attenuated by 3 dB. If the PBT is used, the carrier signals through
the combiner are gained by 3 dB. Therefore, the wideband
combination mode can be changed into the PBT mode when the
traffic volume is low. Thus, the energy consumption of the TRX can
be reduced without interference in good coverage. As a result, the
power consumption of the TRX can be lowered.
Benefits This function helps reduce the energy consumption of the TRX
without interfering with good coverage.
Implementation The wideband combination mode can be changed into the PBT mode
when the traffic volume is low. Thus, the energy consumption of the
TRX can be reduced without interference in good coverage. As a

18. Robust Air Interface Signaling

Feature When the radio transmission quality is poor, the BSC retransmits
Description FACCH message and SACCH message.
Benefits The retransmission of the FACCH frame can improve the FACCH
link performance of the common MS by about 2 dB and improve the
FACCH link performance of the MS complying with the 3GPP R6
protocol by about 4–5 dB.
The retransmission of the SACCH frame can improve the SACCH
link performance of the common MS by about 4–5 dB.
Implementation The network retransmits the FACCH frame when the downlink
measurement result is lower than a certain threshold. The
retransmission mechanism is as follows: If the first interleaving block
of the first sent FACCH message is transmitted on the TDMA frame
numbered M, then the first interleaving block of the repeatedly sent
FACCH message is transmitted on the TDMA frame numbered M+8
or M+9.
If the BSC detects that the SACCH message cannot be correctly
decoded or the measurement result on the downlink is lower than a
certain threshold, the SACCH Repetition Order (SRO) is set to 1 and
the MS is required to retransmit the SACCH message. Where, SRO is
a new flag in the downlink SACCH message. If the MS detects that
the SACCH message cannot be correctly decoded, the SACCH
Repetition Request (SRR) is set to 1 and the BSC is required to
retransmit the SACCH message. Where, SRR is a new flag in the
uplink SACCH message. After receiving the flag where SRR is set to
1, the BSC retransmits the corresponding SACCH message.

19. GSM/WCDMA service based handover

Feature With the application of the WCDMA system, the networking with
Description both the GSM system and the WCDMA system is widely used. The
QoS on the two radio access systems is different. The problem of
using different radio access system resources for different services
needs to be solved immediately. According to the service hierarchy
principle, different services are handed over to different systems. For
example, the voice services are preferentially handed over to the
GSM system, and the data services are retained in the WCDMA
system.
Benefits This function improves the QoS by preferentially selecting the GSM
system or the WCDMA system based on the user services.
Implementation In the assignment procedure, the MSC sends the service handover
information to the BSC through the ASSIGNMENT REQUEST
message. If the service handover information indicates that the call is
handled in the UTRAN preferentially, the directed retry procedure
can be initiated to hand over the call to the WCDMA system.
The HANDOVER REQUEST message received by the BSC may
also carry the service handover information. The BSC uses this
information for subsequent handover decision.
Related Configure inter-RAT service handover switch in the software
Operations parameters.
20. GSM/WCDMA load based handover

Feature With the application of the WCDMA system, the networking with
Description both the GSM system and the WCDMA system is widely used. The
problem of how to fully utilize the resources of the two radio access
systems needs to be solved immediately. When the load of one radio
access system is heavy while the load of the other radio access
system with the same coverage is light, if the current user service is
supported by the other system, the load-based inter-system can be
initiated to balance the load of the two systems.
Benefits This function improves the network utilization by adjusting the load
of the WCDMA system and GSM system.
Implementation The load information of the WCDMA system is transparently
transmitted to the BSC through the MSC. Then the BSC determines
whether to initiate the inter-system handover based on the load
information of the WCDMA system and the load information of the
BSC itself. The handover request message sent from the BSC to the
WCDMA network also carries the load information of the BSC itself
for the reference of the target system in the inter-system handover
decision.

Operations should be configured.
 Whether the serving cell supports the inter-RAT load handover

21. Active Power Control

Feature After an MS successfully accesses the network or a handover is
Description successfully performed, the uplink power and downlink power are
calculated at once. The network informs the MS of the result of
uplink power calculation. Then, both the BTS and the MS transmit
signals at proper power. Thus, power control can be performed
immediately.
Benefits Through the power control of both the BTS and the MS, the system
interference is reduced and the service quality is improved. In
addition, as the power consumption of the BTS and MS is reduced,
energy is saved and the service time of the MS is prolonged.
Implementation When an MS accesses the network, the following power control
procedure is performed:
(1) According to the 3GPP TS 05.05, the network obtains the
transmit power of the MS. Then, based on the transmit power of the
MS and the uplink signal strength measured by the BTS, the path
loss of the MS is obtained.
(2) Based on the path loss of the MS and the expected uplink and
downlink signal strength, the transmit power of the MS and BTS is
obtained.
(3) After the MS accesses the network, power control is performed
immediately. Then, both the BTS and MS transmit signals at proper
power.
During a handover, if the target cell cannot obtain the BCCH signal
strength of the target cell measured by the MS in the serving cell,
the target cell can estimate the path loss of the MS by measuring the
signal strength of the MS after it accesses the target cell. The
subsequent power control procedure is the same as that performed
during the access phase. Otherwise, the target cell can calculate the
path loss of the MS based on the BCCH signal strength and the
BCCH carrier transmit power of the target cell recorded by the
serving cell before the handover. The subsequent power control
procedure is the same as that performed during the access phase.
Therefore, the BTS and MS can perform power control immediately
after a successful handover.

22. A5/1 Encryption Flow Optimization

Feature As the A5/1 encryption algorithm provides weak protection for data
Description security, Huawei optimizes the service processing procedure based
on the Um-interface transmission characteristics of the GSM
network. After the A5/1 encryption algorithm is optimized, the
probability of network wiretapping is decreased and the transmission
security is enhanced.
Benefits Based on the weak point of the A5/1 encryption algorithm, Huawei
optimizes the service processing procedure. Therefore, the difficulty
of network wiretapping is increased and the data security during
transmission is improved.
Implementation If the CS services are being processed and the TCH Time Handover
Switch parameter is set to Yes, the timed handover timer is started
and the length of the timer is TCH Time Handover Period. When
the timer expires, an intra-cell forced handover is initiated.
Upon the transmission of assignment command, handover command,
and incoming BSC handover response message, the CHANNEL
ACTIVATION message carries the information about frequency
hopping if Flex MAIO or Flex TSC is enabled for the cell. Here, TSC
is a randomly assigned value.
If none of Dummy Bit Randomization Switch, Stop Transmit
System Information 5/5bis/5ter Switch, or SD Fast Ho is set to

23. Dynamic HR/FR Adaptation

Feature The half-rate/full-rate channels of established calls can be adjusted
Description based on the usage of cell resources.
Benefits When the traffic volume in a cell is low, calls are handed over from
half-rate channels to full-rate channels to improve the communication
quality. When the TCHs in a cell are insufficient, calls are handed
over from full-rate channels to half-rate channels to expand the cell
capacity.

Feature The BSS supports multislot classes 30-34 of MSs. In other words,
Description based on the multislot capability of an MS, a maximum of five
channels on the uplink or downlink can be assigned to the MS. The
maximum number of active channels on the uplink and downlink is
six.
Benefits The BSS supports multislot classes 30-34 of MSs. In other words,
based on the multislot capability of an MS, a maximum of five
channels on the uplink or downlink can be assigned to the MS. The
maximum number of active channels on the uplink and downlink is
six. This increases the transmission bandwidth by 25%.
Implementation The BSS supports the parsing of the MSs whose multislot capabilities
are 30-34.
 The MS performs the downloading services. A maximum of five
channels can be assigned on the downlink and one on the uplink.
 The MS whose multislot capability is 31-34 performs the uploading
services (not EDA). A maximum of four channels can be assigned
on the downlink and two on the uplink.
 The MS whose multislot capability is 32 performs the uploading
services (in EDA mode). A maximum of two channels (determined
by the PSReserved22 parameter; it does not indicate that only one
channel is assigned on the downlink) can be assigned on the
downlink and three on the uplink.
Related  The Support Downlink 5 Timeslot parameter determines whether
Operations five timeslots on the downlink are supported.
 The PSReserved22 parameter (one of the internal parameters for
the super user) determines whether two channels on the downlink
are supported in EDA mode. If this parameter is set to 1, two
channels on the downlink are supported in EDA mode. If this
parameter is set to other values, two channels on the downlink are
not supported in EDA mode.
25. Guaranteed Emergency Call

Feature In the cells with heavy traffic, the emergency call procedure is
Description enhanced to improve the success rate of emergency call
establishment.
Benefits The success rate of emergency call establishment is guaranteed when
the traffic in the network is heavy.
Implementation To ensure that an MS initiating an emergency call can be assigned a
TCH, TCHs are preferred in immediate assignment and the channel
mode is modified in service assignment. If no TCH is available in
immediate assignment, an SDCCH is assigned to the emergency call
and channel preemption is enabled. If a channel is successfully
preempted, the channel is reserved for the emergency call and then
assigned to the emergency call in service assignment. Thus, even if in
the network with the heaviest traffic, the success rate of emergency
call establishment can be maximized.
Related Configure the priority of emergency calls and the number of reserved

26. Network Support SAIC

Feature A series of anti-interference technologies uniformly called the SAIC
Description are introduced for the MS with a single antenna. Compared with the
common MS, the MS supporting the SAIC has stronger anti-
interference capability. The network can modify the power control
policy as required to reduce the transmit power of the BTSs, thus
reducing the interference in the entire network.
Benefits This function can bring the following benefits:
 Reducing the interference in the entire network
 Expanding the network capacity
 Reducing the transmit power of the BTS
 Saving the energy
Implementation In downlink power control, the network checks whether the MS
supports the SAIC. If the MS supports the SAIC, the network
decreases the upper downlink quality threshold and the lower
downlink quality threshold according to the Huawei III power control
algorithm; the network increases the upper downlink quality
threshold and the lower downlink quality threshold according to the
Huawei II power control algorithm.

28. Public Voice Group Call Service

Feature The public voice group call service is one of the fundamental
Description trunking services. It enables point-to-multipoint communication in
half-duplex mode. In addition, there is no limitation to the number of
one VGCS call’s members and group members in a cell can share the
same group channel
Benefits Improving the efficiency of channel utilization.
Implementation The public voice group call service (VGCS) adopts the half-duplex
mode. It allows a group member to originate a call to other group
members in a predefined service area. The group members are also
predefined, who can be a fixed dispatcher, a mobile dispatcher, or a
mobile service subscriber. There is no limitation to the number of
listeners in such a group; however, at a specific moment only one
subscriber in the VGCS group can speak by pressing the PTT button
to seize the uplink while others are listeners. Any authorized
dispatcher can be a speaker at any time during the group call, while a
maximum of five dispatchers are allowed to speak concurrently.
With the minimum unit of a cell, a VGCS area is defined upon the
subscription. The VGCS area can be served by different BSCs,
MSCs, or even the entire network. Only one VGCS channel can be
assigned to each related cell during a call. All the group members in
the cell share the downlink channel and access the uplink channel by
pressing the PTT button.
The MS that originates a group call must be a group member or a
registered and authorized dispatcher.
Related Configure the GSM-R parameters of the cell.

29. Talker Identification

Feature Like the function of Caller ID Display, Talker Identification allows
Description that the telephone number (or the subscriber name in the phonebook)
and the priority of the current speaker are displayed in real time on
the MSs in the public voice group call service (VGCS).
Benefits The Talker Identification function is an extra trunking service in the
public network. It enriches the fundamental trunking services.
Through this function, the telephone number (or subscriber name)
and the priority of the talking MS are displayed on the other MSs in
the VGCS group; therefore, the trunking subscribers can obtain the
information on the talking MS in the VGCS call and the evidence to
determine whether to enable PTT preemption in the group.
Implementation When the talking MS seizes the uplink channel, the first complete
Layer 3 message carries the ID of this MS. The MSC obtains the
MSISDN and priority of the MS in the group through the MS ID, and
then sends a Talk Information message to the BSS on the SCCP
connection. The Talk Information message carries the MSISDN and
priority of the current talking MS, and the information element
indicating the display of the talker information.
During the speech of the talking MS, the BSS periodically broadcasts
the Talk Information message on all channels used for VGCS and
displays the MSISDN (or the subscriber name in the phonebook) and
the priority of the talking MS in the group. After the speech, the MSC
sends a Talk Information message to the BSS on the SCCP
connection. The Talk Information carries the information element
indicating the clearing of the displayed information of the talking
MS. The BSS broadcasts the Talk Information message on all
channels for VGCS. After the MSs in the group receive the message,
the displayed information of the talker is cleared.
Related The core network enables or disables the talker identification
Operations function.
30. Group Call EMLPP

Feature The Group Call EMLPP (enhanced Multi-Severity Precedence and
Description Preemption) allows the VGCS (public Voice Group Call Service)
network to use different strategies based on multi-level precedence
and preemption when the network resources are insufficient in order
to ensure the normal connection of the high level subscribers. The
strategies consist of preemption, queuing, and directed retry.
Benefits The eMLPP is one of the most fundamental trunking services. It
allows diverse strategies for different subscribers according to their
subscriptions in the HLR. Especially the eMLPP ensures the
precedence of the calls with high priority levels during busy hours
or in case of channel congestion in urban areas. When channels are
congested, the eMLPP allows queuing and directed retry of the calls
with low priority; thus the MSs with low priorities can obtain
services as much as possible. Therefore, the eMLPP benefits
subscribers with different priorities and improves the user
satisfaction in the entire VGCS network.
Implementation When congestion occurs in a cell enabled with eMLPP and the BSC
receives an assignment request or handover request from the MSC,
the BSC uses the strategies in the sequence of preemption, queuing,
and directed retry.
If the priority of the current call to be set up is high, the BSC
performs forced handover on the connected call with the lowest
priority. If the forced handover is successful, the current call with
high priority preempts the channel released by the call with the
lowest priority. If the forced handover fails, the BSC forces the call
with the lowest priority to release the channel, and assigns the
released channel to the current call.
If the priority of the current call to be set up is low, network
resources cannot be preempted. If queuing is allowed, the MSC puts
the call into a queue according to its priority level from the highest
to the lowest. When resources are released and the priority of the
current call is the highest in the queue, the current call seizes the
released resources. If directed retry is allowed, the BSC originates
directed retry on the current call when the current call does not
obtain resources after waiting more than four seconds in the queue.
Then the BSC hands over the call to neighbor cells. If direct retry is
not allowed, the call is released when the call does not obtain
resources after waiting more than eight seconds in the queue.
Related Configure the eMLPP priority in the GSM-R parameters of the
Operations cell.
31. Fast Group Call Setup

Feature On some special occasions, the time of setting up group calls needs to
Description be shortened in order to ensure high dispatching efficiency in the
VGCS (public Voice Group Call Service) network. To shorten the
time of setting up group calls, the signaling process for establishing
group calls and the related data configurations are optimized.
Benefits High dispatching efficiency on some special occasions is ensured and
the requirements for fast dispatching services by associated industries
and departments are fulfilled.
Implementation If the fast group call setup mode is adopted, the SABM frame (the
first complete Layer 3 message) contains the IMMEDIATE SETUP
message when an MS originates the group call. Thus, the subsequent
SETUP process can be omitted and the time of setting up group calls
is shortened. By using the "Immediate TCH Assignment" and
"Immediate Assignment Optimization" signaling procedures, the BSS
optimizes the channel assignment procedure.
Additionally, the signaling interworking process between the BSC
and the BTS, before the BSS sends the immediate assignment
command to the MS, is simplified. Meanwhile, the bandwidth of the
traffic channel (TCH) is far greater than that of the SDCCH;
therefore, the MS sets up a link on the TCH in an easier and faster
way.
The Network Subsystem (NSS) judges the data configuration of the
group call subscription after receiving a request for setting up a group
call from the MS. If the priority level of the group call subscription is
set to fast group call setup, the NSS quickens the setup of group calls

32. Group Call Reliability Enhancing

Feature Huawei GBSS public network trunking has the functions of fallback
Description and checking the resources of VGCS (public Voice Group Call
Service) to ensure the reliability of the applications of VGCS.
Benefits This function can improve the reliability for the public voice group
call service.
Implementation Fallback: After the transmission between the BTS and the BSC is
interrupted, the BTS works in fallback mode and provides basic
VGCS services. The basic VGCS services consist of voice group call
service, and timed calling. A single cell or several cells can be
configured under a BTS. The BTS automatically works in normal
mode after the transmission recovers.
In fallback mode, if the fixed originating group call is configured,
transmission is interrupted. Then, the BTS immediately originates
fixed group calls. The MS can occupy the uplink group channel but
cannot stop group calls. If the fixed originating group call is not
configured, the MS can originate group calls.
Checking resources: If the BSS works abnormally, the BTS may
periodically send notification messages even if the group call is over.
In this case, a user's mobile phone responds continuously but cannot
access this public voice group call service. To avoid the occurrence
of exceptions, the BSC and the BTS check the resources of the public
voice group call service periodically and eliminate inconsistent the
notifications for the public voice group call service.
The BSC uses the mechanism of scheduled check instead of
scheduled BTS reporting so that the BSC does not receive a large
number of the group calls’ check messages simultaneously and CPU
load is not added.
Related  Configure the fallback-related parameters.
Operations  Configure the Group Call Check parameter.
33. Late Group Channel Assignment

Feature When one the group call is established, radio resources are not
Description allocated. If the users exist under a cell, the MS initiates the
notification response procedure towards the BSC after the MS
receives notification messages. Through the notification response
procedure, the corresponding channels are assigned to the cell.
Benefits If the cell does not have the group subscribers, no group channel is
assigned to the cell. Therefore, the late group channel assignment
function features the following:
 Economizing radio channel resources
 Increasing the usage of frequency resources
 Reducing the congestion rate of radio channels during busy hours
 Enhancing the network service quality and system capacity
Implementation The late group channel assignment function applies with a large
group call area. When the group call is set up, its channels are
assigned to the cells which have the group subscribers. If the cell
does not have any group subscriber, no group channel is assigned to
it until at least one group subscriber enters the cell.
Related The core network enables or disables the Delayed Assignment of
Operations VGCS Channel function.
34. Single Channel Group Call Originating

Feature One TCH is saved during the VGCS (public Voice Group Call
Description Service) call originating procedure when the single channel group
call originating function is realized.
Benefits When a group call is originated, the originating cell needs only one
TCH, thus increasing the usage of frequency resources, reducing the
congestion rate of TCHs during busy hours, and enhancing the
network service quality.
Implementation Normally, the MSC sends the ASSIGNMENT REQUEST to the
speaker so that the speaker can use the dedicated TCH and VGCS
ASSIGNMENT REQUEST to establish the channels required in the
cell. That is, the BSC allocates the MS originating the group call to a
dedicated TCH for speech communication. Meanwhile, a new TCH is
allocated for the VGCS.
If the MS originating the group call terminates the call after five
seconds, the MS originating the group call is regarded as the speaker
to be assigned to allocated channels and the TCH is released. If MS
originating the group call terminates the call within five seconds, the
MS is regarded as the listener to be assigned to allocated channels
and the TCH allocated for the MS is released. Therefore, two TCHs
are occupied when the MS initiates the group call.
Related The core network enables or disables the Single Channel
Operations Originated VGCS function.
35. Public Voice Broadcast Service

Feature Support public voice broadcast Service.
Description
Benefits The VBS is one of the most fundamental trunking services and is
used on special occasions. When a VBS call is originated, the
originator can ensure the speaking right without pressing the PTT
button, which is comfortable for the speaker.
Implementation  During the VBS voice broadcast service call, only the originator
can speak and the other service subscribers (except the dispatchers)
can only listen. During the VGCS call, however, the dispatcher and
other common mobile members in the group can speak.
The originator of the VBS call can speak without pressing the PTT
button, while during the VGCS call any group member, even the
originator, requires to press the PTT button before and during the
speaking.
 The MS originating the VBS call can terminate the call after
pressing the on-hook key. For one VGCS call, the BSC/BTS does
not release VGCS channels within a certain period after uplink
links are released.
Related Configure the GSM-R parameters of the cell.

36. Late Broadcast Channel Assignment

Feature VBS channel assignment can be delayed, so that radio channel
Description resources are saved.
Benefits This function improves the usage of TRXs and reduces customer
investment.
Implementation When the group broadcast is set up, its channels are assigned to the
cells which have the group subscribers. If the cell does not have any
group subscriber, no group channel is assigned to it until at least one
group subscriber enters the cell.

Operations VBS Channel function.
37. Group Call Traffic Statistics

Feature The Huawei GBSS provides group call/group broadcast traffic
Description statistics counters at both BSC and cell levels. The counters
comprehensively measure such services as group call/group
broadcast channel assignment, group call uplink seizure, and group
call channel switching.
Benefits This function helps the users to know the running status of the
network.
Implementation The counters comprehensively measure such services as group
call/group broadcast channel assignment, group call uplink seizure,
and group call channel switching.
Related The counters are registered on the M2000.

problems.
Benefits This function helps enhance the system maintainability.
Implementation Tracing group call/group broadcast messages on A/Abis/Um

interface: The group call/group broadcast messages can be
interpreted during message tracing on the interfaces.
Tracing messages by group: Messages can be traced according to
“group call REFERENCE” (comprising 5-bit group call area ID and
3-bit group ID). Messages can be filtered on the basis of group
call/group broadcast type and interface type (A/Abis/Um).

1. Enhanced Channel Assignment Algorithm
Feature Preferentially Allocating Channels on Main BCCH Carrier for Non-
Description AMR Speech Services
Benefits For MSs that support the AMR speech, allocate the channels on the
carriers in tight frequency reuse mode to improve the average speech
quality in the network.
Implementation In a tight frequency reuse network, loose frequency reuse mode, such
as 4x3 pattern, is applied to the main BCCH carrier; tight frequency
reuse mode, such as 1x3 pattern, is applied to the TCH carrier. The
non-AMR speech (including FR, EFR, and HR) is more susceptible
to interference than the AMR speech. Therefore, if the network
supports the AMR speech, for MSs that do not support the AMR
speech, preferentially allocate the channels on the carriers in loose
frequency reuse mode, such as the main BCCH carrier.
Related Configure Non-AMR User Allocate Loose Frequency Reuse Mode

Benefits Help the user get an overview of the load and resource usage
conditions of the system.
Implementation Real-time traffic statistics:
The GBSC supports the query of real-time statistics of the following
items on the BSC through the MML client: the number of calling
MSs, the number of initial accesses, the number of establishment
indications, and the number of A interface paging requests. The
query of the real-time statistics enables you to learn the system load
and resource usage any time.
Multi-period traffic statistics:
The GBSC supports the traffic statistics of multiple periods. You can
create a task with multiple periods through the M2000. Based on the
task file, the M2000 then generates the traffic statistics automatically.
On the M2000, the traffic measurement can be performed on the
basis of the following eight periods: 15 min, 60 min, and 1440 min.
You can configure up to three periods at a time.
Enhanced IP performance measurement:
You can query the BTS IP performance measurements through the
LMT client on the GBSC. The information that can be queried using
the MML command consists of: traffic over the FE/GE port, bit error
rate over the FE/GE port, and service type/user based traffic.

2. BTS Test Function

Feature Voltage Standing Wave Ratio detection
Description
Benefits The VSWR detection function enables the BTS under the remote
control to measure the VSWR without using any specialized tools,
and thus saves cost considering that there is no need for the
maintenance personnel to conduct the test on site.
Implementation All the maintenance personnel need to do is to send a VSWR
detection command to the BSC through the M2000 or MML client.
The BSC then forwards the command to the BTS. The BTS
configures the test mode and then carries out the VSWR test. After
that, the BTS restores to the work mode. After the test, the BSC
reports the test result to the M2000 or MML client. On the M2000,
you can perform VSWR tests in batches. The precision of the VSWR
is 0.01 with a plus or minus 0.2 deviation compared to the VSWR
obtained by using the specialized tool.
Related Run the MML command STR VSWRTEST to enable the VSWR
Operations detection function.
3. Extended Cell
Feature Enhanced downlink throughput in double-timeslot extension cell
Description
Benefits The extension cell can provide a data throughput four times of that
provided by a traditional cell (single downlink timeslot connection),
and thus accelerates the download tasks of the MS, improves the user
experience, and helps the operators make more profit out of data
services.
Implementation The cells with coverage over 35 kilometers, such as coast coverage,
island coverage, or wide coverage on land, support the PDCH
allocation of four downlink timeslots and one uplink timeslot can be
performed for the MS with the multi-timeslot capability.
Related Set Extended Cell Throughput Enhancement to Yes.
Operations
4. Soft-Synchronized Network
Feature Supporting the inter-BSC soft-synchronized network
Description
Benefits In the current GSM system, the BTSs work in asynchronous mode. In
the asynchronous network, the co-channel interference and adjacent-
channel interference are uncontrollable and the DFCA function
cannot be achieved. In addition, the performance of the ICC and
SAIC techniques drops. The simulation results show that the use of
ICC in the synchronized network can improve the network
performance by about 5.5 dB than in the asynchronous network, the
use of SAIC in the synchronized network can improve the network
capacity by 40% than in the asynchronous network, and the use of
DFCA in the synchronized network can improve the network
capacity by 20% to 50% than in the asynchronous network.
Implementation The inter-BSC soft-synchronized network is based on the intra-BSC
soft-synchronized network. For inter-BSC soft-synchronized
network, after each of the two BSCs finishes the soft-synchronization
of itself the BSCs collect the frame offset information of the adjacent
BTSs belonging to different BSCs to get the frame offset information
between the two BSCs, then the frame offset information of the BTS
belonging to another BSC is adjusted. In this way, the BTSs under
two BSCs are synchronized. By doing so, the BTSs under multiple
BSCs are synchronized.

Operations 2. Create inter-BSC synchronization tasks.
3. Configure neighbor-cell pairs for synchronization between BSCs.
5. Streaming QoS(GBR)
Feature Priority-based Steaming resource preemption.
Description
Benefits This function enhancement ensures that the streaming users with high
priority use the transmission resources preferentially. This can reduce
access failures due to insufficient resources and improve the
experience of the streaming users with high priority.
Implementation If the BSC/PCU cannot offer sufficient transmission resources for the
streaming user with high priority, the transmission resources of the
streaming user with low priority will be preempted. If the
transmission resources of other streaming users cannot be preempted,
the streaming user waits in the queue for the release of transmission
resources. If the wait time expires, the access of the streaming user
fails because of insufficient resources.

Operations 2. Set Support Gbr QoS to Support.
3. Set Occupy Switch of Streaming Resource to Yes.
6. Intra BSC Network Assisted Cell Change (NACC)
Feature Support for NACC between BSCs or between BSC and RNC
Description
Benefits The time of data transmission interruption due to cell reselection is

reduced, thus improving the user satisfaction. The system
transmission bandwidth is reduced because the system information is
obtained in the original cell as possible as it can be.
Implementation This application enhancement can reduce the delay of cell reselection
between BSCs or between the BSC and the RNC. It requires the BSC
to support the RIM procedure to obtain the system information of the
external cell. During cell reselection, if the BSC has the system
information of the external cell, it sends the system information to the
MS. Otherwise, the BSC initiates the RIM procedure to request the
system information and save the system information for future use.
Related Set RIM Support to Yes, and then reset SIGBVC.

7. Abis over IP
Feature Support BFD Detection.
Description
Benefits This solves the problem of data transmission path convergence for a
long time and reduces the service interruption time.
Implementation Each system uses the negotiated speed to detect the BFD speed from
another system. The BSC using the BFD detection function can
detect the router fault far away in the switching network in a short
time, and thus the data transmission is switched to the redundant link.
Related Configure the parameters related to the BFD detection function.

23. Support for MSC Pool

Feature Through the MSC pool, one BSC can be connected to multiple MSCs at
Description the same time. In addition, the services on the BSC are evenly distributed
to the corresponding MSCs according to the NRI or load balancing
principle.
Benefits Network capacity is expanded and redundancy backup is realized, thus
saving the equipment costs and improving the network reliability.
Implementation All the MSCs are numbered and each MSC has a network identifier. The
signaling between the BSC and the MSC contains the network identifier
of the MSC, thus differentiating the MSC from other MSCs. Multiple
MSCs can provide services for one BSC.
Related Configuring MSC groups
Operations Configuring the signaling and circuits over the A interface
24. Support for Ring Topology

Feature Ring topology is a special kind of chain topology. All the BTSs connect
Description with each other to form a normal chain and the last-level BTS connects to
the BSC to form a ring. If the communication of the ring is broken at a
point, the topology of the BTSs before the breakpoint remains the same.
After the breakpoint, the BTSs form a new chain connection in the
reverse direction.
Benefits The ring topology provides transmission backup and improves network
robustness.
Implementation The BSC assigns two groups of Abis resources for the BTS ring
topology: one for the forward link and the other for the reverse link. If the
OML link is set up between the BSC and port 0 of the BTS, the Abis
resources on the forward link can be used to process services. If the OML
link is set up between the BSC and port 1 of the BTS, the Abis resources
on the reverse link can be used to process services.

Operations Maintaining BTS ring topology
25. Support for Flex Abis

Feature When there are service requests, the BSC dynamically sets up the Abis
Description transmission links based on the assignment result from the resource
management module. The related resources are released after the services
are processed.
Benefits Abis resources can be shared by multiple BTSs, cells, or services. Thus,
the resource usage is improved.
Implementation The OML and RSL use the fixed Abis transmission resources. Thus,
signaling can be set up when the BTS starts to work. When there are
service requests, the dynamic assignment and setup of Abis resources
between the BSC and the BTS can be performed through the established
signaling links. After the services are processed, the Abis resources are
dynamically released.

Operations Maintaining Flex Abis BTS
26. Support for Abis Bypass

Feature In the chain topology, if a BTS is out of service because the power supply
Description is disconnected, the lower-level BTS are not affected.
Benefits The stability of the chain topology is improved.
Implementation On the entire chain, the Abis resources are assigned in transparent
transmission mode. If a BTS is faulty, the Abis interface signals are
transparently transmitted to the lower-level BTS through a repeater. In
this way, the signal transmission of this BTS is not affected regardless of
whether the upper-level BTS works normally.

Operations  Maintaining Abis bypass BTS
27. Support for Local Switching

Feature If the calling and called MSs are under one BTS, they can communicate
Description with each other without BSC, except for signaling. If the calling and
called MSs are under one BSC, they can communicate with each other
without MSC, except for signaling.
Benefits If the local switching function is enabled, the Ater interface resources and
the TC resources are saved, and the investment is decreased.
Implementation After a call is established, speech frame loopback is directly performed
within the BTS if BTS local switching is enabled and if the BTS detects
that the calling and called MSs are under one BTS. If BSC local
switching is enabled and if the BSC detects that the calling and called
MSs are under one BSC, speech frame loopback is directly performed
within the BSC.

29. Support for Antenna Frequency Hopping

Feature The antennas that transmit the signals from the BCCH carrier in the cell
Description are dynamically changed. The receive performance of the MS is
improved.
Benefits The receive performance of the MS is improved, the space diversity is
realized, and the network performance is enhanced.
Implementation Similar to baseband frequency hopping, antenna frequency hopping
enables the data of all the timeslots on the BCCH carrier to be transmitted
on the antennas for all the carriers in the cell in sequence. This increases
the space diversity and optimizes the data reception of the MS from the
BCCH carrier. Thus, the network performance is improved.
Related Enabling and disabling antenna frequency hopping

30. Support for 16 kbit/s LAPD Signaling Link

Feature At the physical layer, the 16 kbit/s signaling links are supported. Each
Description signaling link occupies a bandwidth of only 16 kbit/s. Therefore, the
transmission resources on the Abis interface are saved.
Benefits The bandwidth usage on the Abis interface is increased.
Implementation During signal transmission, each OML or RSL occupies physical 16

kbit/s bandwidth. The OML and RSL are assembled into frames before
they are transmitted. At the Tx end, the frames are disassembled on the
basis of the data rate of physical 16 kbit/s.

Modified Features
1. Support for Dynamic Adjustment of the Number of BTSs Required for Software
Loading
Feature The sizes of the BTS software versions are different and the
Description transmission quality varies from one transmission mode to another.
In this feature, the number of BTSs required for software loading can
be dynamically adjusted, thus reducing the total loading time.
Benefits If intermittent link disconnection occurs, the number of BTSs
required for parallel software loading can be reduced to avoid the
impact on each other.
If the transmission quality is good and if the BTS software size is of a
large size, the number of BTSs required for parallel software loading
can be increased to speed up the loading.
Implementation The number, which was once a fixed one, of BTSs required for
parallel software loading can now be regulated through data
configuration.

2. Support for Dynamic MAIO

Feature In the case of cell frequency hopping, an MAIO must be specified when a
Description channel is activated. If the MAIO can be dynamically specified according
to the actual interference, the anti-interference capability of the frequency
hopping function is further enhanced.
Benefits The adjacent-channel interference and co-channel interference in the
GSM system are reduced, the frequency resources are tightly reused in
the BTS, and the system capacity is expanded.
Implementation When an MAIO is assigned to a channel under activation, the MAIO
value is dynamically adjusted according to the current interference status
and the MAIO value with the minimum interference is assigned to the
channel. Thus, the call has the minimum interference form the
perspective of the entire network.

Description When the MCPA function is enabled and Channel Assignment
Allowed for Insufficient Power is set to No, the TCH carried on the
non-BCCH TRX cannot be allocated during the inter-BSC handover.
Cause The path loss during the inter-BSC handover cannot be calculated.
Thus, when the MCPA is enabled, the invalid value is taken as the
power value for channel request. As a result, the remaining power
is regarded to be insufficient irrespective of the remaining power,
which causes that the TCH carried on the non-BCCH TRX cannot
be allocated.

frequency coding schemes properly.
Impact PS services of some MSs fail.
Severity Minor
Solution For the GPRS FH cell, the number of frequencies in the

compatible frequency bands of the main BCCH in the CA table
should range from 24 to 32. For the EDGE cell, the number of
frequencies in the compatible frequency bands of the main BCCH
in the CA table should range from 16 to 32. In the downlink
immediate assignment, only the first FH TRX or none-FH TRX is
assigned.
For the GPRS/EDGE FH cell, the number of frequencies in the
should range from 32 to 58. In the uplink and downlink immediate
assignments, only the none-FH TRX is assigned.
For the GPRS/EDGE FH cell, the number of frequencies in the
should be greater than 58. During the uplink and downlink
immediate assignments, only the none-FH TRX is assigned and the
migration to other FH TRXs is not allowed.
73. Success Rate of SDCCH Occupancy Greater Than 100%

Description The success rate of SDCCH occupancy is greater than 100%.

period in which the success times are measured. As a result, the
success times exceed the request times.
2. The request times and success times are processed on different
CPUs that have minor differences in absolute time. As a result, the
request times and success times are measured at different periods
and the request times are greater than the success times.
Impact The success rate of SDCCH occupancy is greater than 100%.
Severity Minor
Solution Request times and success times are measured

at the same time.

Description After the BSC is upgraded from R001C04 to R008C01SP12, a
large number of idle timeslots under the BTS312s in the whole
network cannot be requested.
Trigger The BTS312s are deployed in the network. The number of TRXs
Condition configured in a BTS312 is more than eight. The data configuration
is upgraded from V900R001 or V900R003 to V900R008 by the
data upgrade tool. Packet service and FlexAbis service are used.
Impact Allocating the idle timeslots of the packet service fails; the rate is

107. Incoming BSC incoming handover failures increase

Description Incoming BSC handover failures increase.
Trigger The incoming BSC handover request message does not contain
Condition Classmark 3. The main BCCH frequency is configured over P-
GSM band. The resources over the P-GSM band in the network are
insufficient.
Impact Incoming BSC handovers fail because of no available channel
resources.
Severity Major
Solution The Frequency Capability (FC) in classmark 2 indicates whether

an MS supports a frequency band. The internal software parameter,
that is, bit 0 of reserved parameter 0 of PID (333), indicates
whether classmark 2 specifies the frequency capability of an MS.
Value 1 of bit 0 specifies that classmark 2 determines the
frequency capability of an MS and value 0 of bit 0 indicates no.
The default value is 0. Reserved parameter 0 is 4-byte long,
ranging from bit 0 to bit 31 from right to left.)

108. After the BSC is upgraded to BSC6000 V900R008, the number of TCH seizure requests
is reduced by half.
Description After the BSC is upgraded to BSC6000 V900R008, the number of
TCH seizure requests is reduced by half.
Trigger The BSC6000 is upgraded from V900R001 or V900R003 to
Condition V900R008 and the network has many core network assignment
signaling.
Impact After the BSC6000 is upgraded from V900R001 or V900R003 to
V900R008, the number of TCH seizure requests is reduced
significantly, affecting other KPIs, such as call drop rate.
Severity Major
Solution This is a history problem. The formula for calculating the number
of assignment requests in BSC6000 V900R001 and BSC6000
V900R003 is wrong. The counter of Assignment Requests
(Signaling Channel) does not distinguish TCH and SDCCH. When
an MSC (such as an MSC of Ericsson. The MSC that has the
problem is of Ericsson) delivers an assignment request message to
the BSC, in some situation the channel speed type may specify
SDCCH, but the number of TCH seizure requests includes the
Assignment Requests (Signaling Channel). After this defect is
corrected in BSC6000 V900R008, in the case that the MSC assigns
an SDCCH, the number of TCH seizure requests is less than that in
the previous versions, resulting in the problem that after BSC6000
V900R001/BSC6000 V900R003 is upgraded to BSC6000
V900R008, some KPIs are lowered.
Considering that Huawei has many devices interconnecting with
the devices of Ericsson, we add an internal software parameter:
Assignment Requests (Signaling Channel) traffic measurement
switch (using bit 2 of the reserved parameter 0 of PID (333)). The
default value is 0 (off).
The meaning of this parameter is described as follows:
0—switch off, indicating that the traffic measurement of the
Assignment Requests (Signaling Channel) distinguishes SDCCH
and TCH.
1—switch on, indicating that the traffic measurement of the
Assignment Requests (Signaling Channel) does not distinguish
SDCCH and TCH.
