2.4 Advanced RRM Algorithms

2.4.1 Overview
The BSC6000 adopts Huawei-patented Radio Resource Management (RRM) algorithms for power control, handover, and resource allocation. These algorithms ensure optimal effect in terms of network coverage, capacity, and quality.
2.4.2 Power Control

The BSC6000 adopts the Huawei-patented power control algorithm. This algorithm lowers the average transmit power of the BTS and MSs while keeps the transmission quality higher than the specified threshold. This can reduce the interference to other channels, and save the power consumption of MSs. The power control can be more accurate and eliminate the hysteresis effect through the following functions of the HW_II power control algorithm:

Measurement report prediction Compensation Overall power control judgment
2.4.3 Handover
The BSC6000 adopts the Huawei-patented handover algorithm. This algorithm can handle the handovers under any radio environment. It can effectively improve the network QoS. The handover algorithm supports handovers such as hierarchical handover, load sharing handover, quick fall handover, power BudGeT (PBGT) handover, and concentric cell handover.
2.4.4 Radio Resource Allocation

The BSC6000 realizes flexible radio resource allocation. According to the QoS requirement and the load of the current cell, the BSC6000 can allocate a full rate TCH or a half rate TCH for a service request. This improves the utilization of the radio channel bandwidth, and meets the communication requirements. The BSC6000 allocates the optimum channel based on the following analysis:

Channel interference TRX priority Channel historical occupation record TRX load balance
This effectively improves the success rate of the radio channel allocation.

The BSC6000 has the following characteristics in terms of upgrade and capacity expansion.
Smooth capacity expansion The BSC6000 adopts modular design. You can expand the capacity just by adding relevant modules. In this way, the investment can be saved to the most extent. Online capacity expansion To expand the system capacity, you can add service subracks or service processing boards. After you start a service processing board, it can automatically load programs according to the configuration data, and then start to provide services. Online patching The software of the BSC6000 can be patched while the current services are ongoing.
2.6 Compatibility with the Protocol Versions

The BSC6000 is developed based on the 3GPP GERAN R4 standard. It supports the evolution towards R5 and R6.
2.7 Convenient Operation & maintenance

3.1.4 Service Subrack

Hardware Architecture
The BSC6000 has three types of service subrack:

GSM Main Processing Subrack (GMPS) GSM Extended Processing Subrack (GETS) GSM TransCoder Subrack (GTCS)
The width of the three types of subrack is 19 inches, as specified in IEC60297. The height of the subracks is 12 U. The backplane present is in the middle of the subrack, and boards are inserted from both the front and the rear of the cabinet, as shown in Figure 3-4. Figure 3-4 Internal layout of the BSC6000 subrack

3.4 GTCS
3.4.1 Overview of the GTCS
The GDPUC in the GTCS performs transcoding and rate adaptation. The GEIUT or GOIU in the GMPS (or GEPS), and that in the GTCS implement sub-multiplexing functions.
GDPUC In the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), the voice coding scheme is pulse code modulation (PCM) and the rate is 64 kbit/s. In the GSM, to save radio channel resources, the voice coding scheme is RPE-LTP or CELP and the rate is 13 kbit/s (through a 16 kbit/s channel). To enable a fixed phone to call a GSM mobile station, the voice must go through code speed adjustment. Therefore, the GDPUC performs transcoding and rate adaptation. GEIUT/GOIUT If 64 kbit/s links are used to transmit 16 kbit/s signals, transmission resources are wasted. To save land line resources, four 16 kbit/s channels are combined into 64 kbit/s channels. Therefore, the GEIUT/GOIUT is required to perform sub-multiplexing.
3.4.2 Connection Between BSC6000 Subracks

Figure 3-16 shows the connection between the GMPS/GEPS and the GTCS. Figure 3-16 Connection between the GMPS/GEPS and the GTCS
BSC6000 GMPS/GEPS G E I U B G E I U T Ater GTCS G E I U T G T N U G D P U C G T N U G E I U A A MSC
The GMPS/GEPS connects with the GTCS through the Ater interface, and the GTCS connects with the MSC through the A interface. The GTCS can be configured in an independent GBSR on the MSC side. When the GTCS is configured on the MSC side, you need to configure signaling links and O&M links on the Ater interface. The signaling links are used for service communications between the GMPS/GEPS and the GTCS. The O&M links are used for operations and maintenance of the GTCS. Figure 3-17 shows the links on the Ater interface.

Both the A and Ater interfaces support E1 transmissions and STM-1 transmissions. Figure 3-16 takes E1 transmissions as an example. For a fully configured GTCS, refer to section 3.1.4 Service Subrack For the procedure for installing the GTCS on the MSC side, refer to section 8.1 Hardware Installation.
3.4.3 Features of the GTCS

The GTCS of the BSC6000 has the following features:
Supports FR/EFR/HR/AMR services The GDPUC in the GTCS encodes the 64 kbit/s PCM data from the A interface using a voice algorithm and then sends 8 kbit/s or 16 kbit/s TARU frames to the Ater interface. The GDPUC decodes the 8 kbit/s or 16 kbit/s TARU frames from the Ater using the voice algorithm and then sends 64 kbit/s PCM data to the A interface. Supports transparent and non-transparent transmissions of CS data services The GDPUC does not change data but converts the format of data frames. It converts the unlink 8 kbit/s or 16 kbit/s frames into 64 kbit/s ITU-T V.110 frames and sends the converted frames to the MSC. The GDPUC also converts the downlink 64 kbit/s ITU-T V.110 frames into 8 kbit/s or 16 kbit/s GDPUC frames and sends the converted frames to the BSC. Manages the TC resource pool The Transcoder Controller (TCC) module detects the states of the GDPUC and the DSP of the GDPUC. It adds normal TC resources to the resource pool and deletes abnormal TC resources from the resource pool. when a call is initiated, the TCC assigns a TC resource to the call and deletes the resource from the resource pool. When the call is over, the TCC puts the TC resource previously used by the call into the resource pool for future assignment. The management of the TC resource pool equalizes the load on the DSPs relatively. The TC resources for one DSP are discontinuously distributed in the resource pool. If one call being processed by the DSP has a quality problem, the quality of the other successive (tens of) calls being processed by the DSP is not affected. TC resources have priority levels that are configured through the LMT. The TCC module assigns TC resources by priority levels. This assignment mechanism can be used to detect the speech quality of specific TC resources. Performs operation and maintenance functions When the GTCS is configured on the MSC side, configure two O&M links on the Ater interface to perform the operations and maintenance of the GTCS. The two links work in active/standby mode. The bandwidth of each link is 1%64 kbit/s to 30%64 kbit/s.
3.4.4 Capacity of the GTCS

Table 3-4 lists the capacity of the boards in the GTCS and that of the A interface boards.

4.1.20 TCH Reassignment

When a TCH assignment fails, the reassignment is performed to effectively improve the success rate of the assignment procedure, thus improving the success rate of access.
4.2 Optional Functions

4.2.1 SDCCH Dynamic Adjustment
If users in a cell increase in a short time, many users fail to access the network because of insufficient SDCCHs. In this situation, the SDCCH dynamic adjustment function can convert the TCH into SDCCH dynamically to enable more users to access the network.
4.2.2 PDCH Dynamic Adjustment

The function can effectively improve the channel usage, reduce the maintenance and configuration task, and increase the revenue of the operators. The circuit service has the higher priority to obtain the channel than the packet service. The PCU releases the dynamic PDCH when there are too many idle PDCHs.
4.2.3 Concentric Cell

The concentric cell technology divides an ordinary cell into two service layers: overlaid subcell and underlaid subcell. For the MSs in the underlaid subcell, try to distribute the less-reused frequency, such as the BCCH frequency. For the MSs in the overlaid subcell, try to distribute the more-reused frequency, such as the frequencies other than the BCCH frequency. The system capacity can be improved by using the more-reused frequency in the overlaid subcell.

4 Functions
4.2.5 Half Rate

Half Rate
With the increase of the subscribers, the frequency resources of the current GSM network become insufficient. The half rate function can improve the capacity of the current network without any hardware investment. To enable the half rate function, the Transcoder & Rate Adaptation Unit (TRAU) needs to support the half rate coding. Huawei TRAU supports all series of voice coding. It can dynamically assign various voice coding resources according to the service assignment requirements.
Dynamical Adjustment of Full Rate-Half Rate

When the BSS is configured with half rate function and the dynamical adjustment of full rate-half rate function is enabled, the half rate and the full rate can be converted to each other dynamically. The system can automatically adjust the ratio between full rate and half rate channel. With the dynamical adjustment between the full rate channel and half rate channel, the following situation can be avoided: some channels are congested while others are idle because of the fixed configuration of channels. You can also adjust the ratio between full rate and half rate channel for the whole network by setting relevant parameters.
4.2.6 Ciphering
The BSC6000 uses the A5/1 and A5/2 ciphering algorithms. All the voice information and signaling information transmitted in the air interface are ciphered by the A5/1 and A5/2 ciphering algorithms to ensure the security of the network.
4.2.7 Short Message Service Cell Broadcast

The Short Message Service Cell Broadcast (SMSCB) is a teleservice (TS23) that can periodically broadcast messages to all the MSs in a specified area. The MSs can receive the broadcast messages continuously or discontinuously according to the system configuration. The typical application of this function is to provide the weather information and traffic information.
4.2.8 Frequency Hopping

The frequency hopping (FH) means that the carrier containing meaningful information hops under the control of a sequence. This sequence is called frequency-hopping sequence (HSN). According to time domain, the FH mode can be divided into frame FH and timeslot FH. According to carrier mode, it can be divided into RF FH and base band FH. Huawei BSC6000 realizes the baseband FH and RF FH at the timeslot level, and the baseband FH and RF FH at the frame level.

4 Functions
network and DCS1800 network. In a dual-band network, a dual-band MS can use frequencies between the GSM900 babd and the DCS1800 band to make calls. Each cell in the dual-band network can use only one frequency. The dual-band network allows cell reselection, allocation, and handover between GSM900 cells and DCS1800 cells.
GSM900/DCS1800 hybrid cell The BSC6000 supports GSM900/DCS1800 hybrid cell function, which means the GSM900 and DCS1800 frequencies lie in the same cell. The biggest advantage of GSM900/DCS1800 hybrid cells is that the secondary frequency band and the primary frequency band are the same. The secondary frequency band is the extension of the primary frequency band. It solves the cell reselection and the handover problems in other networking mode.

4.2.17 Performs power control of the TRXs on each frequency band 4.2.18 Semi-Permanent Connection
With the semi-permanent connection, the operators can transmit the information such as the BTS AV power supply alarm, maintenance information and other information. Semi-permanent connection can avoid the reconfiguration of IP address, and thus facilitate the maintenance and networking.
4.2.19 DTX and DRX

Discontinuous transmission (DTX) can reduce the transmit power of BTS and MS, and thus reduce the co-channel disturbance in the radio interface and the sensitivity of the GSM voice signal to the error in the radio interface. Discontinuous reception (DRX) means that the MS monitors the messages in the specified timeslots according to the system configuration. This reduces the power consumption of the MS and improves the standby time of MS.
4.2.20 Extended Frequency Band

4.2.26 Adaptive Multi Rate

The Adaptive Multi Rate (Adaptive Multi Rate) is a set of multiple voice coding/decoding algorithms. It enables the BTS and the MS to auto select the coding/decoding algorithm according to the actual radio environment to adjust the coding rate. Different algorithms generate different rates of voice code stream, which further improves the speech quality of the call.
4.2.27 Speech Quality Enhancement

The BSC6000 provides the following speech quality enhancement functions:

Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) Automatic Level Control (ALC)
4.2.28 TFO
The BSC6000 performs the Tandem Free Operation (TFO) function. when the calling and called parties use one voice coding scheme, the voice signals are encoded only once at the originating MS and decoded only once at the terminating MS. This reduces repeated encoding and decoding and improves the quality of speech services.
4.2.29 Coverage enhanced

The BSC6000 supports the double-transceiver BTSs, such as the BTS3012, BTS3012AE, and BTS3006C. The BTS can implements the Power Boost Technology (PBT), transmit diversity, and 4-way receive diversity.

6.1 System Reliability Design

The following measures are taken in the reliability design of the BSC6000:
Full interconnection model The service plane of the BSC6000 system adopts inter-subrack full interconnection to enhance system reliability and increase interconnection bandwidth. In this interconnection mode, the failure of a subrack does not affect the connections between other subracks. This ensures that a call access from any carrier channel can be switched to any Circuit Identification Code (CIC) circuit on the A interface. Distributed resource management The BSC6000 adopts distributed management on the resources of subracks. In this management mode, the failure of a subrack does not affect the services of other subracks. TC resource pool The TC processing unit is not bound with the CIC circuits on the A interface. The configuration of redundant TC processing resource can improve the system reliability. The failure on a TC processing unit or a TC processing board does not change the status of the CIC circuit on the A interface, and the services are not affected. Service/Signaling overload control The BSC6000 supports dynamic service/signaling overload control. This ensures the maximum call processing capability when the system is overloaded. Dual 48V power supply The two independent 48V power supplies operate simultaneously to ensure the normal operation of the system in case that either fails. The faulty power supply can be repaired without power interruption. This improves the reliability and availability of the power supply system.
6.2 Hardware Reliability Design

The BSC6000 uses the reliability design such as active/standby boards, resource pool, and redundancy configuration. In addition, it optimizes the fault detection and fault isolation to improve the reliability and maintainability. The hardware reliability design of the BSC6000 includes the following aspects:
The system control is hierarchical distributed group control. Multiple CPUs form a processing group with distinct functions of each module. Backup design or anti-suspension/breakdown design is considered for the communication channels between modules. The important functional modules uses redundancy backup. This backup mode provides high error tolerance. The isolation mechanism ensures service processing by transferring the services on the entity out of service to another entity. With advanced integrated circuits such as ASIC, the system features high integration, good technology, and high reliability. The high-speed IP port supports Port Trunking. With this design, the chain switchover is avoided, the reliability is improved, the bandwidth is extended, and the load is balanced. In addition, the related hardware can

detect the faults automatically and respond to the faults quickly. This shortens the time of fault recovery.

Important data is stored in the non-volatile memory. The data is backed up in the GBAM and Front Administration Module (FAM). The components pass aging test and rigorous selection. Rigorous quality control is applied to hardware assembling to guarantee high stability and high reliability for long-term operation.
6.3 Software Reliability Design

The reliability of the software is ensured by the great error tolerance. The error tolerance of the software system means that software failure does not lead to system breakdown, that is, the system has the self-healing capability. The error tolerance of the BSC6000 covers the following aspects:
Regular check on key resources The system checks the resource occupation of software. If resource hang-up occurs because of improper running of the software, the check mechanism ensures the release of the hung-up resource and the generation of the related logs and alarms. Task monitoring The monitoring process monitors the task running, handles all software internal errors and some hardware errors, and reports the errors. Data check The system checks data consistency on a regular or event-driven basis, restores the data consistency selectively or preferably and generates the related log and alarm. Operation Log All the operations are recorded in the operation log. The operation log can be used to locate the fault or error. Flow control The BSC6000 controls internal and interface flows. When the system load reaches the specified threshold, the BSC6000 takes various measures to lower the system load, thus avoiding the system overload caused by heavy traffic.
