Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) Speech Codec

 Three Standards of GSM Digital Voice Channel


Code mode Rate (kbit/s)
Full rate (RPELTP) 13
Enhanced full rate (ACELP) 12.2
Half rate (VCELP) 5.6

 In the GSM-EFR solution, the code excitation is close to the residual signal. The
algebraic code structure reduces the storage and search volume of the codes. In
addition, the frequency domain control function is provided, which is close to the
residual signal.
 The EFR coding rate (12.2Kb/s) is smaller than the FR rate (13 Kb/s). More
protections exist in the channel codec. Hence, the use of the EFR can effectively
improve the user experiences.

Adaptive Multi-rate Codec (AMR)
 AMR FR provides better speech quality than EFR under the bad radio conditions.
 AMR FR provides better quality than FR in comparable radio conditions, which makes AMR
HR attractive from a capacity point of view.
 As AMR HR coding provides similar quality as FR codec in comparable radio conditions, this
feature may result in 100% capacity gain if utilized fully .

handover
 This feature enables the handover
algorithm to adjust the traffic in
congestion region to realize the
balance.

 When the traffic channel occupation ratio in serving is greater than the preset traffic
handover threshold of the serving cell, BSC judges the serving cell is over-busy to trigger the
traffic based handover.
 Then BSC checks all the established calls in the serving cell, and if certain call has the
neighboring cell which meets the given demands in the layer, frequency band and level, and
the traffic of the neighboring cell is not more than the preset neighboring cell’s traffic
threshold, BSC then tries to handover the call from the serving cell to the neighboring cell.

Traffic Based Handover

 This feature is used in urban area with high traffic density.When a cell has traffic overload,
the users in the cell will be handovered to other cell with low traffic.Within the congetion
area, the cell can flexibly adjust the traffic distribution to reduce congestion.
 The TrafficLevThs can be set as a negative value, i.e. when the level of neighbor cell is low
er than the level of this cell, the call can also be toggled out.For example, when the level o
f one cell is very high, and the level of its neighbor cell (e.g. 1800M cell) is also very high,
but it is lower than that of this cell, in this case, traffic handover is allowed between the ce
lls. This threshold must be lower than the PBGT threshold in reverse direction. Otherwise, i
t may result in ping-pong handover.

Network-assisted Cell Change& Inter-BSC NACC


Target Cell Source Cell

BSS sends the minimum


required system information
of the target cell (before the
cell change) within source cell

Handover and TBF can be
established in the target cell
immediately.

 MS does not need to spend much time receiving the system information as entering the new
cell, so the interruption time is reduced from more than 1s to hundreds of milliseconds.
 The difference between inter-NACC and intra-NACC is that in intra-NACC, BSC can obtain
system information of target cell directly. While in inter-NACC, the system information from
the cell between BSCs/RNCs is obtained through the SGSN.

Network Assisted Cell Change (NACC)

 This feature is used in the PS service. It is applicable when cell re-election occurs
with the terminal, and it is suitable for all scenarios.
 When enabled, this feature can reduce the interruption time caused by listening
to system message for cell re-election, so as to improve the stability of the data s
ervice.

Flex Ater

 This feature avoids the service interruption caused by a single network


element failure of TC, thus the system reliability is improved.

• When constructing a
Flex Ater Flex A
network, an operator can use
BSC 1 small-capacity BSC without
TC in remote areas, while

BSC 2 TC 1 MSC 1 place TC POOL close to MSC


in central cities, so as to cut
the transport cost involved in
BSC 3 network construction.
• When a new service needs a
TC 2 new complex TC, it is easy to
E1/STM-1 MSC 2
add a TC unit, not only
BSC n preventing replacement of
quantities of hardware but
OMCR

Flex Gb

 Extend the service region of one SGSN, reduce inter-SGSN cell


reselection and routing area update, thus reducing the signaling
traffic between SGSN and HLR;
 Reduce the congestion due to the capacity limitation of one
single CN node, making better use of the network capacity;
 The load of a faulty SGSN can be transferred to another SGSN in
the same SGSN pool, so the disaster recovery ability of the
network is improved.

Concentric Circle Technology

 BCCH should be configured at the outer circle


 The talking should be established at the outer circle
 Decrease the numbers of BCCH
 The neighboring cells’ configuration don’t need to change
 Save the expense of network planning and maintenance

Concentric Circle

• Share one site


• Share one antenna
• Share BCCH

 Decrease the numbers of the inter-cell handover

 Reduce the traffic of Abis interface.

BSC Backup

 Support flexible configuration of a BTS parenting to multi BSCs. In case


that one BSC is unavailable, those BTSs connected to the BSC could be
quickly switched to other normal BSCs in the pool. In this way, traffic
interruption could be reduced and so that the network could be robust.

BTS Group Local Switch & BTS Local Switch

 For the scenarios like rural communities and isolated locations,


local traffic occupies 30% to 40% of total traffic. By using local
switch, transmission resource will be effectively saved and
network construction cost is reduced.

•For internal call in one BTS, it


finishes switch within this BTS and
doesn’t occupy Abis transmission
resource after being connected.

• For the calls in one BTS group,


switch is done in BTS on the top
layer.
