What is VAMOS
VAMOS is Voice Efficiency for GSM which with this technology you can
have up to 4 calls per TS.
3G/LTE Introducing
Spectrum re-farming
.
Receiving - separating 2 calls from each other .
-TSC: Separating the two calls transmitted on the same timeslot .
- MS: Still using GMSK one call per MS
VAMOS requires a pair of training sequences to be allocated to users in a VAMOS pair. These
training sequences are the key when separating the paired users from each other. While the
standardized VAMOS solution supports new training sequences optimized for new VAMOS
mobiles, VAMOS can be used in networks with a significant penetration of SAIC mobiles, using the
already defined set of legacy training sequences
Near Future (3GPP Rel 9 Q1 2010 but commercial available 2103 and 2014 )
From 3GPP capacity gain simulation in early stages when the Mobiles support SAIC with 50% at
least can have almost 40% gain but from Huawei trial experience with the same penetration the
gain are from 10 to 22%
Limiting Factors
Coverage
Two MS sharing one TS
- 3dB less power for each MS
AQPSK Modulation
- Similar to EDGE peak to average ratio 3 dB reduced power
Limiting Factors
VAMOS Efficiency
From the above chart show that when ever the interference sources
become higher the MS SAIC(VAMOS) efficiency become less
Impacts on KPIs
VAMOS can expand network capacity and decrease congestion rate. However, it has adverse
impacts
on network KPIs, especially speech quality, including receive quality, call drop rate, and mean
opinion score (MOS). Therefore, it is recommended that the Half-Rate Service feature be
preferentially enabled to expand network capacity and VAMOS be enabled only when network
capacity needs to be further expanded. In addition, VAMOS is not recommended to be deployed for
telecom operators who are very concerned about speech quality.
This graph shows that the Daily total traffic vs VAMOS total traffic from the launch of VAMOS till the trial tests for
parameters tuning.
This graph shows Hardware Efficiency( Saving network resources(Number of required TRXs)
When Two call multiplex on one slot the user quality effected and probability of call drop increase with VAMOS
feature this due to mobiles either support VAMOS or not.
Whenever VAMOS activated the congestion in network reduced especially for loaded traffic network and such KPI
like CSSR and HOSR can be kept if properly parameter sets for VAMOS on cells and other part of networks
elements
Conclusion
According to test the settings in term of effective parameters make VAMOS traffic despite the Quality degradation
are :Network must have high penetration for SAIC allowed .
Proper parameters sets as below are the most effective one.
1- Allow Multiplex for Unknown SAIC MS to be ON
