Chapter 1 - Overview

900/1800 MHz TDMA digital cell mobile communication system (GSM) is an integrated system covering fields of network technology, digital stored program control technology, all transmission technologies and radio technologies. GSM usually falls into Network Sub System (NSS), Base Station Sub-system (BSS) and Mobile Station (MS). GSM system, in signaling structure, usually covers MAP interface, A interface (between MSC and BSC), Abis interface (between BSC and BTS0 and Um interface (between BTS and MS, also called air interface). All these objects and interfaces contain large quantity of configuration parameters and property parameters, some of which are determined during the development and producing of the equipment, and most of which depend on actual need and operation by network providers. Settings and adjustment of latter parameters have a great impact on the operation of entire GSM network. Radio parameters in GSM network refer to parameters related to radio devices and radio resources. These parameters have an important impact on cover of cells, distribution of signaling flow and service property of network, etc. therefore, adjusting radio parameters reasonably plays a very important part in GSM network optimization. GSM radio parameters, according to objects radio parameters serve in the network, fall into project parameters and resource (cell) parameters. Project parameters refer to parameters related to design, installation and commissioning of the project, like antenna height, antenna direction, antenna gain, antenna download obliquity and cable loss, etc. These parameters must be determined in network design and are seldom changed during the operation of the network. Resource (cell) parameters refer to parameters related to configuration and utilization of radio resource, which usually transmit on radio interface (Um) to keep the consistence of base station and mobile station. Radio parameters covered in this manual are mainly resource parameters.

Radio Resource ManagementRadio resource objects in BSC: Base Station Controller (BSC), SITE, Base Transceiver Station (BTS), Transceiver (TRX), Radio Carrier (RADIOCARRIER), Logic Service Channel (CHAN), Handover Channel (HOC), Power Control Parameter (POC), Adjacent Handover Cell (AHANDOVERCELL), Adjacent Reselection Cell (ARESELECTCELL), Adjacent Handover and Reselection Cell (AHO&RESELECTCELL), Interference Cell (ICELL), Logic PCM (PCMCIRCUIT), Logic Lapd (LAPDLINK), Frequency Hopping System (FHS), GPRS Cell (GPRSCELL), BVC Flow Control (BVCflowCtrl), 2G/3G Cell handover Control (2G/3GHOC) and Dynamic HR (DynaHR). Select Configuration Management Radio Resource Management from main interface of OMCR (V2) (as shown in Figure 1) after successful login, and ZXG10 Radio Resource Management interface pops up.

FI GURE 1 MAI N INTERFACE

The main interface shows three windows: tree in the left window shows objects to be created and maintained, right window describes relationship between BSC and SITE giving logical illustration, and the window below shows the man-machine command MMI command created by the operations. The status bar shows linking status with server and machine number of the client terminal.

Precautions in Radio Parameters AdjustmentRadio parameters adjustment, according to property of the problem to be solved, fall into two kinds. The first kind is to solve static problem, that is, to correct traffic model in system design by measuring actual average traffic and signaling flow in every district and to solve common problems existing for long. The other kind is to solve problems in some time like traffic overload in some district, channel congestion due to sudden events or random events. Service provides must perform measurement and summarization on actual operation regularly, and then perform appropriate adjustment on global or partial parameters and configurations, for first kind. Network operators adjust some radio parameters at real time according to instant data from measurement personnel, for second kind.

16


Chapter 1 - Overview

Most radio parameters in GSM system are based on one cell or one district. It is necessary to consider whether parameter adjustment in this district will influence other districts, especially adjacent one, for parameters between districts are related to each other greatly. Otherwise, it may cause bad influence. Determine whether the problem results from equipment fault (including connections) first when it occurs in some part of the network. Adjust radio parameters only when determining that the problem does result from service.

8. InHoEnable Description: To define whether to allow handover between cells inside a BSC. BSS supports internal handover inside a cell (handover between different channels within a same cell) and handover between cells controlled by MSC. It can also support handover between different cells inside BSS. This can be set via OMS. Internal handover between different cells of a BSS can reduce messages between BSS and MSC because message will not be sent to MSC before the execution of handover. Only after a handover is completed, will BSS send the HANDOVER EXECUTION message to MSC. Value range: True/False Default value: True 9. LocName Description: Name of geographic location of a Base Station Controller 10. ResourceIndThs Description: A threshold value that BSC automatically indicates to MSC, and ratio of present available channels to the total channels. This parameter is for the threshold of automatic indication mode. The resource indication configured by O&M must be given to MSC when available cell resources are less than the parameter, to notify the cell condition. There are four modes during the resource indication by BSC.

BSC instantly returns a message of BSSAP RESOURCE INDICATION as an acknowledgement without any resource information after receiving the BSSAP RESOURCE REQUEST message. BSC automatically sends the BSSAP RESUORCE INDICATION message to MSC, and uses the Periodicity IE in the BSSAP RESOURCE REQUEST to determine the indication messages interval (unless the Periodicity IE is 0 and BSC will ignore 0) once the auto condition (service threshold or the interval between any two messages) set by O&M of BSC is satisfied. BSC instantly returns a message BSSAP RESOURCE INDICATION with resource information after receiving BSSAP RESOURCE REQUEST message. BSC will stop sending and will wait for the next BSSAP RESOURCE REQUEST if the BSSAP RESOURCE REQUEST message does not contain the Extended Resource Indication IE. BSC will follow the rules specified by the Subsequent Mode element in the message if so, which are the same as those of mode 4. Mode 1 or 3 is adopted if previous mode is 1 or 3. Otherwise, mode 4 applies. BSC will immediately return a BSSAP RESOURCE INDICATION message containing resource information after receiving the BSSAP RESOURCE REQUEST message. BSC then periodically sends BSSAP RESOURCE INDICATION messages. Period to send the message is the value of Periodicity IE times 100ms if the Periodicity IE in the BSSAP RESOURCE REQUEST message is not 0. The message is wrong and the entire BSSAP RESOURCE REQUEST message is regarded as invalid if Periodicity IE is 0. BSC instantly returns a message BSSAP RESOURCE INDICATION as an acknowledgement without any resource information after

Default value: 30 11. BSCMaxResetNum Description: Maximum number of repeating times for BSC resetting. It will repeat entire resetting process when BSC sends the BSSAP RESET message to MSC and if the BSSAP RESET ACKNOWLEDGE message sent by MSC has not been received in a specified T4 time. The BSSAP RESET message can be repeated up to N times. MSC will end the resetting process and inform OMS if no reply is obtained after sending N messages. N depends on BscMaxResetNum parameter. Default value: 3 12. CircMaxResetNum Description: Maximum number of repeating times for BSC circuit resetting. It will repeat circuit resetting process when BSC sends the BSSAP RESET CIRCUIT message to MSC and if the BSSAP RESET CIRCUIT ACKNOWLEDG message has not been received in the GSMspecified T19 time. The BSSAP RESET CIRCUIT message can be repeated up to N times. MSC will end the resetting process and inform OMS if no reply is obtained after N times. N depends on CircMaxResetNum parameter. Default value: 3 13. ConfusionMsg Description: To determine whether to allow BSC to send the BSSAP CONFUSION message. This message is bi-directional, indicating that the received message cannot be correctly processed due to unidentified reasons. A confusion message will be sent while there are no other suitable fault messages to return, Value range: True: Enabling BSC to send BSSAP CONFUSION messages; False: Disabling BSC to send BSSAP CONFUSION messages Default value: False 14. ExDRSendAssignFail Description: To determine whether to allow external customized retry to send failure indication

22



Value range: True/False Default value: False 15. LoadInd Description: To define whether the load indication process can be used. The load indication process is an optional item which enables neighboring BSCs to know their cell load conditions outside their boundary, so that even more information can be consulted during a common handover and during intra-BSC traffic handover. This parameter decides whether load indication process can be used, meanwhile the validity of parameters LoadValidTime and LoadIndPrd are determined, that is, when the parameter is 0 (the load indication process cannot be used), the two parameters followed are invalid, otherwise, they will be valid. Value range: True: Available to load indication process; False: Unavailable to load indication process Default value: False 16. BARANG Description: To define broadcast range Value range: Basic GSM900 frequency band P-GSM is ARFCN 1124, the expanded GSM900 frequency band E-GSM is ARFCN 0124 and 9751023, GSM1800 frequency band is ARFCN 512885, and railway GSM900 frequency band R-GSM is ARFCN 0124 and 9551023.

Timer Parameters1. Blocking/unblocking period Description: BSS blocks/unblocks a land circuit and sends BLOCK/UNBLOCK message to MSC due to various reasons (O&M intervention, equipment failure/recovery, radio resources unavailable/available to name a few). A BLOCK/UNBLOCK ACKNOWLEDGE message is sent to BSS after receiving the message. This time period is defined as T1.

Value range: 0 ~ 0xFFFF (10ms) Default value: 500 (5 s) 12. T3191 Description: BRPs timer at RLC/MAC layer. During the packet downlink transmission, if the BSN of the RLC data block to be transmitted is at its maximum load (that is, the final downlink data block), the network will send RLC data block whose Final Block Identifier (FBI) field is 1 and which includes effective RRBP field to initialize the release of the


49


downlink TBF. At this time the network starts the T3191 timer. For RLC data block in which each received FBI is 1 and containing effective RRBP domain, MS must send the Package Downlink Confirmation/Non-confirmation message whose FAI domain is 1 through the uplink block specified by the RRBP domain. T3191 is terminated and required RLC data block is re-transmitted if the network receives the PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message before the T3191 timer expires and is required to re-transmit it. T3191 timer is terminated and enabled T3193 timer if re-transmission is not necessary. The network releases TBF when T3193 timer expires. The network also releases TBF when T3191 expires; 2) In unacknowledged mode, MS must send the PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGE message in the uplink block specified by the RRBP field. T3191 is terminated and T3193 enabled if the network receives the PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGE message before T3191 expires. The network also releases TBF when T3191 expires. Value range: 0 ~ 0xFFFF (10ms) Default value: 500 (5 s) 13. T3193 Description: BRPs timer at the RLC/MAC layer is used for protection at the release of TBF during the packet downlink transmission. For details, see description of the T3191 timer.

Timer start conditions: the timer T3193 is started when the PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message or the PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGE message is received Timer stop conditions: when the network has established a new downlink TBF Timeout action: Release TFI resources

Value range: 00xFFFF (10ms) Default value: 51 Value of this parameter needs to be greater than T3192 timer to ensure uniqueness of TFI of MS at one moment 14. T3195 Description: BRPs timer at the RLC/MAC layer. Protection time of TBF when the radio link failure or the cell change leads to MS failure to respond. During the packet downlink transmission, if the timer N3105 expires, BSS will start the T3195 timer. The TFI resource is available again for use by the network when T3195 timer expires.

Timer start conditions: the timer T3195 starts when the counter N3105 = N3105_MAX Stop conditions of the timer: none Timeout action: Release TFI resources

Value range: 0 ~ 0xFFFF (10ms) Default value: 500 (5 s). 15. ccmT1

Other GPRS Property Parameters1. CELL Threshold of the Bssgp Flow Control (CelFcThs) Description: This parameter is the trigger threshold for BVC flow control. The BVC flow control is performed on the Gb interface between SGSN and BSS and in the downlink only. In practice, BSS provides the control parameter and SGSN executes it to avoid the situation of the LLC data being discarded due to timeout caused by the busy packet channel in BVC (excess LLS frames buffered) or that the new downlink LLC data is discarded due to limited memory resources (LLC frame buffer overflow). The BSSGP process on the BSS side periodically (long or short) counts the current leakage ratio of BVC. BVC flow control procedure is initiated unconditionally. SGSN confirmation is also necessary if the long count timer overflows. BVC flow control is initiated and it also needs the SGSN confirmation if the short count timer overflows and the difference between the two consecutive leakage ratios is more than CellFcThs. Value range: 1 ~ 100 (%) Default value: 80 2. MS Threshold of the Bssgp Flow Control (MsFcThs) Description: This parameter is the trigger threshold for MS flow control. MS flow control is performed on the Gb interface between SGSN and BSS and in the downlink only. In practice, BSS provides the control parameter and SGSN executes it to avoid the situation of the LLC data from being discarded due to timeout caused by the busy packet channel in MS (excessive LLS frames buffered) and that the new downlink LLC data is discarded due to limited memory resources (LLC frame buffer overflow). The BSSGP process at the BSS side periodically (long or short) measures the current leakage ratio of MS. MS Flow Control process is initiated unconditionally if the long measurement timer overflows. SGSN must acknowledge it if the difference between the two consecutive leakage ratios is more than MsFcThs. MS Flow Control process is initiated and it also needs acknowledgement of SGSN if the short measurement timer overflows


51


and the difference between the two consecutive leakage ratios is more than MsFcThs. Value range: 1 ~ 100 (%) Default value: 80 3. CELL Trigger Period of the Bssgp Flow Control (CelFcPer) Description: This parameter is the BVC leakage ratio measurement period in the BVC Flow Control process, that is, BVC long measurement period. To provide reference to the BVC flow control at the SGSN side, the BSSGP process at the BSS side periodically measures the current BVC leakage ratio. BVC flow control procedure is initiated unconditionally when the long measurement timer overflows. It needs to be confirmed by SGSN if the difference of the leakage ratios between the two times exceeds CellFcThs. BVC flow control procedure is also initiated and it also needs to be confirmed by SGSN if the short measurement timer overflows, and the difference of the leakage ratio between the two times exceeds CellFcThs. In the OMCR (V2) system, BVC short measurement period = BVC long measurement period / 3. Value range: 0 ~ 65535 (10ms) Default value: 3000 4. MS Trigger Period of the Bssgp Flow Control (MsFcPer) Description: This parameter is MS leakage ratio measurement period in the MS Flow Control process, that is, MS long measurement period. For reference of flow control at the SGSN side, the BSSGP process at the BSS side periodically measures the current leakage ratio of each MS. MS Flow Control process is initialized unconditionally when the long measurement timer overflows. SGSN must acknowledge it if the difference between the two leakage ratios exceeds MsFcThs. MS Flow Control process is initialized and it also needs acknowledgement from the SGSN when the short measurement timer overflows, and the difference between the two leakage ratios exceeds MsFcThs. In the OMCR (V2) system, MS short measurement period = MS long measurement period/3. Value range: 0 ~ 65535 (10ms) Default value: 3000 5. N3101: Maximum allowed number of continuous losses of uplink data blocks Description: This is the parameter used at RLC/MAC layer of BRP. During packet uplink transmission, BSS will specify USF (corresponding to one uplink TBF) for each uplink block. For a USF, if the network receives correct data from a specified uplink block, timer N3101 is cleared for that TBF; if the number of losses in that specified uplink block exceeds N3101, then timer T3169 is started. TFI and USF resources are available for use by the network when T3169 expires. Value range: 0 ~ 255 Default value: 10 6. N3103: Number of Packet Uplink ACK/NACK reattempts

52



Description: This is the parameter used at RLC/MAC layer of BRP. Network sends a PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK message and set Final Acknowledgement Identifier (FAI) as 1 during packet uplink transmission, if it detects that all RLC data blocks have been received at end of uplink TBF (CV = 0, and V(Q) = V(R). The header of RLC/MAC control block contains a valid RRBP domain. Counter N3103 is cleared. MS sends PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGE message in block specified by RRBP and release TBF if it receives PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK message whose FAI is 1 from network side. The value of the counter N3103 is incremented and the PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK message is retransmitted if the network fails to receive PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGE message in the radio block specified by the RRBP field. The network will start T3169 timer if the value of N3103 exceeds the limiting N3103max. TFI and USF resources are available again for use by the network when T3169 timer expires. Value range: 0 ~ 255 Default value: 10 7. N3105: Allowed maximum number of continuous losses of the uplink RLC/MAC CONTROL message Description: This is the parameter used at the RLC/MAC layer of BRP. During the packet downlink transmission, BSS will set RRBP field in the downlink RLC data block at a certain interval to notify MS to send the RLC/MAC CONTROL message in the corresponding uplink block. For a TBF, if the number of consecutive losses of the RLC/MAC CONTROL message in the specified uplink block exceeds N3105max, then the timer T3195 is started. TFI resource is available for use by the network when the T3195 timer expires. Value range: 0 ~ 255 Default value: 10 8.

Coding Mode CS-2 by default, but the coding mode may vary dynamically between CS-2 and CS1. CS-1 CS-2 CS-3 CS-4

Default value: 1 9. Cn Level: for determining increase of coding mode level


53


Description: This is the parameter used at the RLC/MAC layer of BRP. Unlike the unified coding mode of the circuit channel, the GPRS data block may use the CS-1 to CS-4 coding modes, whose data rates are 9.05 kbps, 13.4 kbps, 15.6 kbps, and 21.4 kbps, respectively. The low level coding mode has higher error correction capability and lower data throughput. You can choose different coding modes for each timeslot or even each TBF. The network will select the coding mode dynamically according to the data rate requirement and radio transmission quality at the transmission of the GRPR data, to reach maxmium radio throughput. Good radio transmission quality means that the probability of the retransmission of the error radio blocks is small. At this time the coding mode that carries large data volume (that is, high level coding mode) can be used. The coding mode for TBF (uplink and downlink) in the channel coding mode CSn (1=n=3) will be increased by one level, if the number of data blocks transmitted consecutively and correctly exceeds the predefined parameter Cn n-1. Value range: 0 ~ 255 Default value: 10 10. Nn Level: for determining decrease of coding mode level Description: This is the parameter used at the RLC/MAC layer of BRP. Unlike the unified coding mode of the circuit channel, the GPRS data block may use the CS-1 to CS-4 coding modes, whose data rates are 9.05 kbps, 13.4 kbps, 15.6 kbps, and 21.4 kbps, respectively. The low level coding mode has higher error correction capability and lower data throughput. It is all right to choose different coding modes for each timeslot or even each TBF. The network will select the coding mode dynamically according to the data rate requirement and radio transmission quality at the transmission of the GRPR data, to reach maxmium radio throughput. The coding mode with stronger antiinterference capability (that is, low level coding mode) must be used when the radio transmission quality is poor. The coding level is decreased by one if Nn n-2 data blocks are transmitted, the number of consecutive losses of the data blocks in the coding mode CSn (2 n 4) for the TBF (downlink and uplink) is Xn n-2%. Value range: 0 ~ 255 Default value: 20 11. Xn Level: threshold for determining the decrease in the level of the coding mode Description: This is the parameter used at the RLC/MAC layer of BRP. Unlike the unified coding mode of the circuit channel, the GPRS data block may use the CS-1 to CS-4 coding modes, whose data rates are 9.05 kbps, 13.4 kbps, 15.6 kbps, and 21.4 kbps, respectively. The low level coding mode has higher error correction capability and lower data throughput. You can choose different coding modes for each timeslot or even each TBF. The network will select the coding mode dynamically according to the data rate requirement and radio transmission quality at the transmission of the GRPR data, to reach maxmium radio throughput. The coding mode with stronger anti-interference capability (that is, low level coding mode) must be used when the radio transmission quality is poor. the coding level is decreased by one if Nn n-2 data blocks are transmitted, the number of consecutive losses of

the data blocks in the coding mode are CSn (2 n 4) for the TBF (downlink and uplink) is Xn n-2 %. Value range: 1 ~ 100 (%) Default value: 80 12. NSVC Delay (Delay) Description: This is a NS link layer parameter. NSVC is an end-to-end concept. The NSVC delay is the basis for flow control in frame relay. It is configured in the background subject to the actual circumstances. Value range: 1 ~ 20ms Default value: 10ms 13. Channel-Fail Report Period (FailRptPrd) (52 Frames) This parameter is the report period for the channel failure ratio (52 multiframes) Value range: 0 ~ 255 Default value: 10 14. Ideal Channel Bearer Rate (OverLoadTh) Description: This parameter is used by the database in the peripheral module MP. Two steps of GPRS uplink and downlink PS wireless resource assignment: The first step is to assign a time slot, that is, PDCH channel assignment implemented by the database on MP. The second step is to assign specific RLC/MAC data block resources on each channel accomplished by a packet control module. In MP, to prevent one PS channel from being used infinitely,
