1 INTRODUCTION

This document describes the new features introduced with the Base Station Subsystem(BSS) release BSS13.

The BSS13 release realises advantages for all operators, combining the best networkperformance and service quality, whilst simultaneously holding investment levels to aminimum. The following benefits (amongst others) are provided:

Enhanced speech and data service quality, maintaining and indeed enhancingend-user satisfaction levels

Advanced GSM/EDGE-WCDMA/HSDPA interworking solutions, enabling animproved end user service experience and an enhanced utilisation of the existingnetwork resources

Operability features, saving both operational and maintenance costs

Coverage solutions, which reduce both CAPEX and OPEX investments

BSS13 Operator Value

BSC & TSCM Solution: The BSS13 builds upon the existing BSS12 solution,introducing a tripling of the maximum transcoder channel capacity in combinedinstallations, with up to 34074 channels in ETSI and 34272 channels in ANSIconfigurations.

Furthermore, new optional cabling panels are introduced for both BSC3i and TCSM3i,reducing the amount of site cabling by 50%.

BTS Solution: With the release BSS13, the Flexi EDGE BTS supportsenhancements to the Extended Cell capabilities of the BSS solution. Further,through a new plug-in module, support for a direct interface for IP / Ethernet Abisconnectivity is provided, enabling cost reduced and flexible networking.

Radio Network Performance: The BSS13 provides significant extensions to thealready wide ranging AMR solution. New features reduce CAPEX throughincreasing coverage; improve the end user experience through reducing theDropped Call Rate and improve networking possibilities through enabling flexiblethresholds.

Enhanced coverage solutions can enable both CAPEX and OPEX savings through reducingthe total number of sites required in a network design. The Double Power TRX feature (forthe Flexi EDGE BTS) provided in BSS13 now extends the range of possible coverage based

solutions that can employed within the Smart Radio Concept (SRC).Operability: The BSS13 solution provides a wide range of operabilityenhancements, increasing OPEX savings for operators. In addition, features suchas PCU2 Pooling enable a more efficient use of PCU resources; AdjustableIntelligent Shutdown enhances the control over TRXs in emergency scenarios;whilst others extend the range of counters and monitoring possibilities.

Packet Switched Data: The Extended Cells for GPRS/EDGE feature enhancescontinuity of service through providing support for these services in the extendedarea of a cell. Multipoint Gb now provides a similarly flexible networking solution asis already provided for the A-Interface through the Multipoint A feature.

Multi-radio Interworking: BSS13 also provides enhancements for 2G-3Ginterworking, improving service continuity; further optimising the use of networkresources and improving the cell re-selection success rate.

End User Services: BSS13 also provides further enhancements to the Lbinterface capability.

Where applicable and in general, the BSS13 software features are managed via LicenceKey or via MML Licence Control.

The compatibilities for individual NE releases are as follows:

BSS13 consists of the releases: BSC S13, MetroSite CXM6, UltraSite CX6, and FlexiEDGEEP2

BSS13 is supported by the following NE releases: NetAct OSS4.2 CD Set 1 or OSS5.1,MSC M14, and SGSN SG6

This document also includes the hardware requirements and planned system compatibilityinformation of the features. The different BTS generations (Nokia 2nd generation, TalkFamily, PrimeSite, MetroSite, UltraSite, InSite and FlexiEDGE Base Stations) are mentionedso that any limitations are highlighted.

BSS13 Compatibility Matrix

When the BSS13 becomes available, the following items will no longer be usable:

Nokia 2nd Gen BTS products (DE21, DF12, and DG26) Nokia PrimeSite BTS

PBCCH/PCCCH support. Feature ID BSS10074

Background loading of RN plan. Feature ID BSS6124

The BSC software release S12 will be the last compatible software level for the Nokia 2nd

Gen BTS, PrimeSite BTS products, PBCCH/PCCCH support and Background loading of RNplan.

Please refer to the BSC Technical Note, TN 837, Availability of SW support for certain

features in BSC S13 SW (31 Aug 2006) for see more details.

The BSS13 standardisation baseline and SoC is against 3GPP Rel-6specifications of TSG-GERAN Plenary Meeting #33 on February 2007.
