23.1 Introduction
23.1.1 Application
The Enhanced Data Rate for GSM Evolution (EDGE) greatly improves the data rate of the GSM. It increases the radio interface rate about three times by adopting new modulation method and coding scheme. EDGE includes two parts: Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS) and Enhanced Circuit Switched Data (ECSD). EGPRS adds the 8PSK modulation. It improves the rate of single channel to about 59.2 kbit/s maximally. ECSD is enhanced from High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD). Huawei BSS system only implements the EGPRS function. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the EDGE mentioned in the text refers to EGPRS. With EDGE function, you can provide high speed data service for users.
23.1.2 Availability
EDGE function needs the support of the ETR board of BTS. ETR includes RETR and DETR. RETR supports GSM900, including EGSM and RGSM. DETR supports GSM1800. The software of BSC, BTS and PCU needs to be upgraded, as shown in Table 23-1. Table 23-1 Software versions to support EDGE Object BSC PCU BTS Version to Support This Function G3BSC32.10101.07.1120A, G3BSC32V300R002C09 or later G3PCU35.10000.00.04.0410A or later G3BTS33.30000.00.0601A or later
23.1.3 Restrictions
The restrictions are as follows: If the EDGE service is opened, the number of TRXs that one E1 supports is reduced under each networking mode. Thus, the number of TRXs that one BM supports is reduced.

23 EDGE Function
The number of idle timeslots and TRXs configured to an E1 must meet the following conditions: The actual number of TRXs + [the number of idle timeslots configured/8] the maximum number of TRXs allowed. For example, under 4E1*6TRX networking mode, the maximum number of TRXs of one E1 is six, if the E1 is configured with four idle timeslots, then the E1 can be configured with five TRXs at most. If the EDGE function is opened, the capacity of PCU RPPU is reduced. The number of PDCH that a RPPU board can activated is reduced from 120 to 100.

The performance of 8PSK is better than that of GMSK. However, the modulation threshold of 8PSK is higher than that of GMSK. EDGE uses both 8PSK and GMSK. Different radio environments use different modulation methods. PCU automatically adjusts the modulation method according to the BEP report sent from MS.

23 EDGE Function
When the EDGE transceiver transmits the signal with the 8PSK modulation, its average transmit power shall be 2dB5dB lower than that with the GMSK to meet the spectrum requirement. When the BCCH uses the 8PSK, the transmit power can be 4dB lower than that when using GMSK at most.
Among which, 544+48 and 272+24 means valid bits plus additional bits.

Step 5 Repeat the above steps till the decoding succeeds. ----End
For the uplink data transmission, the system notifies the MS to use the IR mode by indicating "RESEGMENT=0" in the uplink resource allocation message by default. The IR mode reacquires that the MS has enough memory to store the history information. If the memory is not enough, the system notifies the MS by indicating " RESEGMENT=1" in the uplink response message. For the downlink data transmission, when the MS memory is not enough, the MS notifies the network side through the downlink response message DOWNLINK ACK/NACK that "MS OUT OF MEMORY". Thus, the network side cannot use the IR mode in the downlink.
When a MS initiates a CS call, the call is accessed to the EDGE network, and then be hand over to dedicated CS network after several seconds (the waiting time is set in the EDGE handover algorithm). When the call ends, the MS returns to the EDGE network. When the MS initiates a GPRS or EDGE service call, the EDGE network provides the service for the MS directly.

23 EDGE Function
The EDGE handover algorithm requires planning the cell reselection parameter reasonably to make the MS reside in the EDGE after switch-on. If a cell is configured to support the EDGE handover algorithm, the cell cannot be the neighbor cell of anther cell. Otherwise, the pingpang handover between the two cells occurs.
When you use the EDGE handover algorithm to set up an overlapped network, all the MSs reside in the EDGE network first. When the call begins, the MSs are handed over out. When the call ends, the MSs return to the original cell. Thus, the traffic in the A interface is very heavy. Pay attention to the planning of the A interface capacity.
For details, see M900/M1800 BSC data configuration Manual Dynamic Configuration
When configure idle timeslot for the BTS, you need to calculate the number of PDCH and the number of idle timeslot of each PDCH according to the network planning. Then you can calculate the number of idle timeslots each cell needs and then calculate the number of idle timeslot all the cells of the BTS need.

23.3.2 Parameter
Table 23-5 lists the parameters related to EDGE function. Table 23-5 Parameters related to EDGE function Name TRX Board type Unit Range Default Description If the PDCH of a TRX is to provide EDGE service, the TRX must be configured as RETR or DETR. Determines whether the cell supports EDGE or not. If the BCCH of a cell is EDGE TRX, you need to configure the timeslot 7 of the BCCH TRX to attenuate and the attenuation value is 50 levels. Each level attenuates by 0.2db. The specific level is decided by this field. The attenuation level of other timeslots of the main BCCH carrier is decided by the carriers 8PSK modulation power level. This value controls the power attenuation level of the timeslot that uses 8PSK modulation on the EDGE carrier. Whether it initiates EDGE handover algorithm. When the system allows EDGE handover, this value decides for how long to execute.

Configure nine idle timeslots to the BTS that the cell resides in, as shown in Figure 23-5 and Figure 23-6. Suppose other cells of the BTS do not support GPRS function. Because the BTS can have three PDCH at most, when all the PDCHs use the MCS-9 coding scheme, each PDCH needs three idle timeslots, the BTS needs nine idle timeslots.
