2.1 Definition
Reconfiguration refers to a process of adding, deleting, or modifying the data of the BSS system (consisting of at least one BSC6900 and one base station) after it starts operating. The BSS is reconfigured in the following scenarios: l Network optimization Network optimization is a process of adjusting and optimizing the network performance based on the data that is obtained from performance measurements or drive tests when the network is in service. l System capacity expansion System capacity expansion enables the BSC system to serve more users through hardware addition or configuration modification in the existing network. l Feature configuration Feature configuration is a process of activating an optional feature by configuring its key parameters. This document focuses on the data to be prepared and reconfiguration procedures. However, it does not focus on the data analysis process of network optimization and the number of boards and links for capacity expansion that are subject to actual network conditions. Feature configuration provides guidelines for activating a feature, but it cannot guarantee the optimum feature performance in the network.
2.2 Tools
The Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) and the Configuration Management Express (CME) can be used to configure the BSC6900. Table 2-1 describes the tools used in reconfiguration. This document describes only the data reconfiguration through MML commands on the LMT. Table 2-1 Reconfiguration tools Data Configuration Tool LMT CME Function Online or offline configuration of the BSC6900 can be performed through MML commands. BSC6900 configuration can be performed through the CME graphic user interface. l In integrated mode, the configuration data can be sent to the BSC6900 through the M2000 immediately or at a specified time. This mode is used for data reconfiguration. l In standalone mode, the configuration file needs to be exported after the configuration and then loaded to the BSC6900 through the LMT or M2000 for the data to take effect. This mode applies to BSC6900 initial configuration.

About This Chapter
Reconfiguring the BSC6900
This chapter describes how to reconfigure the running BSC6900 or expand its capacity. 4.1 Changing Signaling Points When the BSC6900 is relocated or network optimization is performed, the originating signaling point code (OPC) and destination signaling point code (DPC) are changed. In this case, the related settings must be changed. 4.2 Adding Boards and Subracks As traffic volume increases, the BSC6900 cannot meet the increasing service requirements. In this case, you can add boards or subracks to expand system capacity. 4.3 Changing the Transmission Mode on the A Interface To improve the transmission efficiency and speech quality on the A interface, you can change the transmission mode on the A interface from TDM to IP. 4.4 Reconfiguring the Transmission Mode on the Ater Interface The TDM transmission mode over the Ater interface can be adjusted to IP transmission mode based on the service requirements. 4.5 Changing the Transmission Mode on the Gb Interface To improve the transmission efficiency, increase the throughput, and reduce the transmission delay on the Gb interface, you can change the transmission mode on the Gb interface from FR to IP. 4.6 Changing the Transmission Mode on the Abis Interface To improve the transmission resource utilization, you can change the transmission mode on the Abis interface from TDM to IP.

4.1 Changing Signaling Points

When the BSC6900 is relocated or network optimization is performed, the originating signaling point code (OPC) and destination signaling point code (DPC) are changed. In this case, the related settings must be changed.
Prerequisite
l l l The LMT runs normally. The LMT communicates with the BSC6900 properly. A BSC license is ready.
Context
CAUTION
Changing signaling points will interrupt BSC6900 services. Therefore, change signaling points at midnight when the traffic load is light. l When an Originating Signaling Point Code (OPC) or Destination Signaling Point Code (DPC) changes, the Equipment Serial Number (ESN) of the BSC changes. The ESN of the BSC is bound with a license. Therefore, after the OPC or DPC changes, you must apply for a new BSC license based on the new ESN and then activate it.
NOTE
Run the LST ESN command with the Query Type parameter set to CUSTOM(Custom ESN) to query the new ESN corresponding to the new signaling point.
l l l
Deactivate all the GSM cells before changing a signaling point. When an OPC is used by an M3UA local entity (M3LE), set all subracks to ineffective mode and then change the OPC. If the OPC to be changed is not used by an M3LE, change the OPC in online mode.
Procedure
l Change an OPC. 1. Run the LST M3LE command to query whether the OPC to be changed is used by an M3LE. If the OPC to be changed is used by an M3LE, change the OPC as follows: (1) Run the DEA GCELL command to deactivate all the GSM cells. (2) Run the SET CFGDATAINEFFECTIVE command to set all subracks to ineffective mode. (3) Run the MOD OPC command to change OSP name and OSP code. (4) Run the MOD GCELLOSPMAP command to set the OPCs mapping the GSM cells. (5) Run the SET CFGDATAEFFECTIVE command to set all subracks to effective mode.
(6) Run the FMT DATA command to create a data configuration file. (7) Run the RST BSC command to reset the BSC6900. (8) Activate GSM licenses by referring to 7.2 Activating the GSM License. (9) Run the ACT GCELL command to activate all the GSM cells. If the OPC to be changed is not used by an M3LE, change the OPC as follows: (1) Run the DEA GCELL command to deactivate all the GSM cells. (2) Run the MOD OPC command to change OSP name and OSP code. (3) Run the MOD GCELLOSPMAP command to set the OPCs mapping the GSM cells. (4) Activate GSM licenses by referring to 7.2 Activating the GSM License. (5) Run the ACT GCELL command to activate all the GSM cells. l Change a DPC. 1. 2. ----End Run the MOD N7DPC command to change DSP name and DSP code. Activate GSM licenses by referring to 7.2 Activating the GSM License.
Example
//Change an OPC. // To query whether the OPC to be changed is used by an M3LE, run the following command: DSP M3LE: // To deactivate a GSM cell, run the following command: DEA GCELL: IDTYPE=BYID, CELLID=1; // To set a subrack to ineffective mode, run the following command: SET CFGDATAINEFFECTIVE: // To change an OPC, run the following command: MOD OPC: SPX=1, SPCBITS=BIT14, SPDF=WNF, SPC=10001; // To set an OPC mapping a GSM cell, run the following command: MOD GCELLOSPMAP: IDTYPE=BYID, CELLID=1, OPC=10001; // To set a subrack to effective mode, run the following command: SET CFGDATAEFFECTIVE: // To create a data configuration file, run the following command: FMT DATA:; // To reset the BSC6900, run the following command: RST BSC: BSCID=1; // To reactivate the BSC license, run the following command: ACT LICENSE: FN="license.dat"; // To activate a GSM cell, run the following command: ACT GCELL: IDTYPE=BYID, CELLID=1;

// To reactivate the BSC license, run the following command: ACT LICENSE: FN="license.dat";
4.2 Adding Boards and Subracks

As traffic volume increases, the BSC6900 cannot meet the increasing service requirements. In this case, you can add boards or subracks to expand system capacity. 4.2.1 Adding a Subrack This section describes procedures and precautions for adding subracks. 4.2.2 Adding the XPUa/XPUb Board This section describes procedures and precautions for adding the XPUa/XPUb board. 4.2.3 Adding Interface Boards This section describes procedures and precautions for adding interface boards.
4.2.1 Adding a Subrack

This section describes procedures and precautions for adding subracks.
Prerequisite
l Network design is complete. Network design involves planning of traffic volume in each subrack, planning of the quantity of subracks, and planning of the quantity of boards and types of boards. Contact Huawei to obtain the detailed network design and planning scheme. l l l l l Tools required for adding subracks are ready. The tools are the ESD wrist strap, Phillips screwdriver, straight screwdriver, ESD box or bag, dustfree cotton cloth, and fiber cleaner. The parts needed for adding subracks are all ready. The parts include subracks, screws, power cables, PGND cables, and signal cables connecting new subracks and NEs. Subracks to be added are ready. If there is space in the cabinet, add a subrack there. If idle space is not available, another cabinet is needed. Check whether the program files of the OMU board in the OMU active workspace installation directory\bin\fam are correct.

Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
Context
CAUTION
l To avoid damage to the boards, ASIC chips, or other electronic components, wear an ESD wrist strap properly. Ensure that the ESD wrist strap is properly connected to the ESD connector on the cabinet. If no ESD wrist strap or no proper grounding point is available, wear ESD gloves. l It is recommended that you use a board of the same type to replace the board. To use a board of the different version to replace the board (for example, the board of version a replace the board of version b), contact Huawei for technical support. When original subracks are in effective mode, adding subracks does not affect ongoing service. When original subracks are in ineffective mode, the BSC6900 needs restarting to add a subrack. Restarting the BSC6900 interrupts the ongoing services. Therefore, adding new subracks when original subracks are in effective mode is recommended.
Procedure
Step 1 Set the DIP switches according to the location of the new subrack, by referring to DIP Switch on the Subrack.
CAUTION
l Checking and Setting the Subrack DIP Switch; then, power on the subracks. Set the DIP switches before powering on the subrack. Settings of the DIP switches after powering on the subrack are invalid. l Set the DIP switches for the new subrack by referring to Checking and Setting the Subrack DIP Switch. Different subracks must have different settings of DIP switches. If two subracks in the BSC6900 share the same settings of the DIP switches, services on the two subracks will be disrupted. Step 2 Turn off the power switch for the new subrack by referring to Distribution of Power Switches on the Common Power Distribution Box. Step 3 Make sure floating nuts are installed in the mounting bar at the front side of the cabinet. If no floating nuts are available, take floating nuts out of the ESD bag at the bottom of the cabinet and install them in the place highlighted in yellow shown in Figure 4-1.

NOTE
Three holes in the mounting bar are known as one U space. One subrack occupies 36 holes. One subrack is fixed by 4 pairs of floating nuts installed symmetrically. The floating nuts are installed in the 3rd, the 12th, the 25th, and the 34th holes in the mounting bar where the subrack will be installed.
Step 4 Two people hold the mounting ears and support the base of the subrack. Slide the subrack along the guiding rail into the cabinet, and then fasten the screws to fix the subrack. Step 5 Install the power cables for the new subrack by referring to Connections of Power Cables and PGND Cables in the Cabinet. Step 6 Install the boards in the new subrack by referring to Installing Boards and Setting Board DIP Switches. Step 7 Install the total four network cables connecting the active/standby SCUa in the MPS subrack with the active/standby SCUa in the new subrack by referring to Installing the Inter-SCUa Cables Between Different Subracks. Step 8 Install other connecting cables for the new subrack by referring to Installing the Signal Cables. Step 9 Check whether cables in the new subrack are connected correctly. Step 10 Attaching the Engineering Labels to the Signal Cables. Step 11 Turn on the power switch for the new subrack. Step 12 Log in to the LMT, and check the subrack configuration mode at the top right corner of the GUI as shown in a red circle in Figure 4-2.

Software versions of the new boards Go to step Step 21. follow the version mapping of the boards. Software versions of the new boards do not follow the version mapping of the boards. 1. Check whether the program files of the OMU board in the OMU active workspace installation directory\LoadData are correct. If the program files are not correct, contact engineers in Huawei to obtain the correct files. 2. Run the RST BRD command to reset the board. 3. Go back to step Step 19.
NOTE
You can obtain the correct board version mapping table by referring to section "Board Versions" in the release notes.
Step 21 Perform dialing tests and browse webpages to check that the boards provide functions properly. ----End
4.2.2 Adding the XPUa/XPUb Board

This section describes procedures and precautions for adding the XPUa/XPUb board.
Prerequisite
l Network design is complete. Network design involves planning of the quantity of NodeBs carried by each subrack, planning of the quantity of NodeBs carried by the XPUa/XPUb board or by each subsystem, and planing of slots for holding the boards. Contact Huawei to obtain the detailed network design scheme. l
4-8
The XPUa/XPUb board is ready.

Tools required for installing boards are ready. Tools are the ESD wrist strap, Phillips screwdriver, straight screwdriver, ESD box or bag, and dustfree cotton cloth.
Context
CAUTION
l To avoid damage to the boards, ASIC chips, or other electronic components, wear an ESD wrist strap properly. Ensure that the ESD wrist strap is properly connected to the ESD connector on the cabinet. If no ESD wrist strap or no proper grounding point is available, wear ESD gloves. l It is recommended that you use a board of the same type to replace the board. To use a board of the different version to replace the board (for example, the board of version a replace the board of version b), contact Huawei for technical support. When binding the boards, various boards must be evenly bound to the MPU subsystem.
WARNING
When the board types bound to the MPU subsystem are not complete or when the proportion of the boards is inappropriate, the exchange message through the MPU subsystems surges, which affects the system stability. If the board types bound to the MPU are not complete, either of the following situations exists: l l l SPU boards are bound, not DPU boards or interface boards. DPU boards are bound, not SPU boards or interface boards. Interface boards are bound, not SPU or DPU boards.
Inappropriate proportion of boards indicates that the SPU, DPU and interface boards are not properly arranged in the MPU subsystem. In the case of two MPU subsystems, three pairs of SPUs, three pairs of DPUs and three pairs of GOUcs in one subrack, Inappropriate proportion is as follows: l l Two pairs of SPUs, one pair of DPUs and one pair of GOUcs are bound to one MPU subsystem. One pair of SPUs, two pairs of DPUs and two pairs of GOUcs are bound to the other MPU subsystem.
Appropriate proportion is as follows: l l Two pairs of SPUs, two pairs of DPUs and two pairs of GOUcs are bound to one MPU subsystem. One pair of SPUs, one pair of DPUs and one pair of GOUcs are bound to the other MPU subsystem.
The principles for the binding boards to the MPU subsystem are as follows:
l l
At least one MPU subsystem must be configured in each subrack. If there are two pairs or more XPUb boards, two MPU subsystems must be configured in the subrack. It is recommended that you configure the MPU subsystem in slot 0 and slot 2. According to the load balancing principle, bind XPUb boards to two MPU subsystems respectively for load sharing. For example, MPU subsystems are configured in slot 0 and slot 2. Bind the XPU boards in slot 4 and 8 to the MPU subsystem in slot 0. Bind the XPU boards in slot 10 and 12 to the MPU subsystem in slot 2.
Procedure
Step 1 Install the SPUb boards by referring to Inserting a Board. Step 2 Run the ADD BRD command to add the XPUa/XPUb board. For example,
ADD BRD: SRN=0, BRDCLASS=XPU, BRDTYPE=SPUb, LGCAPPTYPE=UCP, SN=4, MPUSUBRACK=0, MPUSLOT=0;
Step 3 When the RUN on the board blinks every second (1s on, 1s off), run the DSP BRD command to query the new board status. If... Then...
The XPUb board does not work in active/standby mode. CPU status Go to step Step 5. is Active normal. The XPUb boards work in active/standby mode. CPU status is Standby normal. CPU status is set to another value. Go to step Step 5.
Go to step Step 4.

4.2.3 Adding Interface Boards

This section describes procedures and precautions for adding interface boards.
Prerequisite
l Network design is complete. Network design involves planning of transmission methods of connecting the interface boards to other NEs, planning of types of interface boards, planning of overloads in each interface board, and planning of slots for holding interface boards. Contact Huawei to obtain the detailed network design and planning scheme. l Cables for connecting the interface boards are ready.
NOTE
Cables for connecting the interface boards are prepared according to the site survey report. Check cables used in the BSC6900 by referring to Cables.
l l
Peer equipment and transmission equipment connected to interface boards are ready. Tools required for installation are ready. The tools are the ESD wrist strap, Phillips screwdriver, straight screwdriver, ESD box or bag, dustfree cotton cloth, and fiber cleaner.
Context
CAUTION
l To avoid damage to the boards, ASIC chips, or other electronic components, wear an ESD wrist strap properly. Ensure that the ESD wrist strap is properly connected to the ESD connector on the cabinet. If no ESD wrist strap or no proper grounding point is available, wear ESD gloves. l It is recommended that you use a board of the same type to replace the board. To use a board of the different version to replace the board (for example, the board of version a replace the board of version b), contact Huawei for technical support. l l When the Data Configuration Modes of the subrack is effective mode, adding interface boards does not interrupt ongoing services of the BSC6900. When the subrack is in ineffective mode, the subrack needs to be restarted to add boards. Restarting subracks interrupts ongoing services.
Procedure
Step 1 If the new interface board adopts E1/T1 transmission or transmission over channelized STM-1 ports, the DIP switch for the board must be set. For example: AEUa/PEUa/EIUa, AOUa/POUa.
See DIP Switches on Components to obtain the rules for setting the DIP switches. Step 2 Install the signal cable (Ethernet cable or optical fiber) and cables for extracting clock signals by referring to Installing the Signal Cables. Step 3 Install interface boards by referring to Inserting a Board. Step 4 Attaching the Engineering Labels to the Signal Cables. Step 5 Configure the new interface boards by referring to Configuring the Interfaces. Step 6 Check the port according to the board type. For example, if the AOUa board is added, run the DSP OPT command to query the optical port status. Step 7 When the RUN on the board blinks every second (1s on, 1s off), run the DSP BRD command to query the new board status. If... The CPU Status is ACTIVE or STANDBY. The CPU Status is other status. Then... Go to step Step 9. Go to step Step 8.
Step 8 In the Browse Alarm tab page on the LMT, check whether alarms such as board fault alarms are reported. If... Alarms such as board fault alarms are reported. Then... 1. Find out the reason according to the alarms and clear them. 2. Go back to step Step 7. Alarms such as board fault alarms are not Go to step Step 9. reported. Step 9 Run the CMP BRDVER command to check whether software versions of the new boards follow the version mapping of the boards. If... Then...

About This Chapter
Reconfiguring a BTS
This chapter describes how to reconfigure a BTS. In the case of traffic imbalance, you can adjust the distribution of hardware resources. Reconfiguring BTSs can help to balance the traffic. 5.1 Changing Timeslot Assignment on a BTS Changing timeslot assignment on a BTS consists of changing the BTS multiplexing mode and changing the Abis timeslot assignment mode. 5.2 Changing a BTS from Non-Separated Mode to Separated Mode When a multi-transceiver unit is used in system capacity expansion, you need to change the BTS from the non-separated mode to the separated mode. 5.3 Changing the Networking Mode of the 3900 Series Base Stations Changing the networking mode of the 3900 series base stations consists of changing the RXU chain into an RXU ring and changing an RXU ring into an RXU chain. 5.4 Changing the Combined Cabinets and Cabinet Groups Between BTSs A single BTS cabinet has limited capacity. To deploy a site of high capacity, you can configure combined cabinets and cabinet groups between BTSs. 5.5 Changing the Frequency Hopping Frequency hopping (FH) is a commonly used spread spectrum communication technology. It is characterized by strong anti-interference, strong anti-attenuation, and high security. The application of FH in the GSM can reduce the interference and increase the system capacity. 5.6 Adjusting the BTS Ring Topology This section describes how to change the non-ring topology to ring topology for a BTS. 5.7 Adjusting the Multi-Carrier BTS Standard This section describes how to adjust the multi-carrier BTS standard. 5.8 Adjusting BTS Connection Data (Static IP Scenario) This section describes how to adjust BTS connection data in the scenario using static IP addresses. 5.9 Adjusting BTS Connection Data (Non-Static IP Scenario)

5.1 Changing Timeslot Assignment on a BTS

Changing timeslot assignment on a BTS consists of changing the BTS multiplexing mode and changing the Abis timeslot assignment mode. 5.1.1 Changing the Multiplexing Mode of a BTS When the traffic volume of a TDM-based BTS changes, the demand for timeslots also changes. You can change the multiplexing mode on the Abis interface of a BTS to maximize the resource utilization. 5.1.2 Changing the Abis Timeslot Assignment Mode When the traffic volume of a TDM-based BTS changes, the demand for Abis timeslots also changes. You can change the Abis timeslot assignment mode to maximize the utilization of Abis timeslot resources. 5.1.3 Manually Assigning the Abis Timeslots This describes the manual timeslot assignment on the Abis interface. Timeslot assignment on the Abis interface is required when you add BTSs, cells, TRXs, idle timeslots, and monitoring timeslots. By default, the timeslots are assigned automatically. You can also manually assign timeslots on the Abis interface if required.
5.1.1 Changing the Multiplexing Mode of a BTS

When the traffic volume of a TDM-based BTS changes, the demand for timeslots also changes. You can change the multiplexing mode on the Abis interface of a BTS to maximize the resource utilization.
Prerequisite
l The BTS is configured and works properly.
Context
CAUTION
Changing the BTS multiplexing mode may reset the BTS and affect the ongoing services on the BTS. Therefore, perform this operation with caution. Multiplexing mode of Abis timeslots on a BTS is classified into 64 kbit/s statistical multiplexing mode and 16 kbit/s physical multiplexing mode. In addition, the 64 kbit/s statistical multiplexing mode is further classified into the following modes: 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, and 6:1. It is recommended that the BTS multiplexing mode be changed in the following situations: l l l l

5.8 Adjusting BTS Connection Data (Static IP Scenario)

This section describes how to adjust BTS connection data in the scenario using static IP addresses.
Prerequisite
l l l The BTS is a 3900 series base station except the 3900B and 3900E. The BTS software is not earlier than V100R009C00SPC079. The physical connection is complete.
Context
Adjusting BTS connection data in the static IP scenario consists of the following typical scenarios: l l BTS data is reparented between BSCs. BTS data is relocated within a BSC.
Procedure
l BTS data is reparented between BSCs. Figure 5-3 shows an example of how to adjust BTS connection data between BSCs. Figure 5-3 Adjusting BTS connection data between BSCs
1. 2.
As Figure 5-3 shows, create the configuration data of BTS 1 at BSC 2. For details, see Configuring the BTS. At BSC 1, deliver the created BTS 1 configuration data to BTS 1. For details, see 5.8.1 Delivering BTS Transmission Data.
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
5-17
NOTE
l After receiving the configuration data from BSC 1, BTS 1 saves the data in the active area and the original configuration data in the standby flash area. l All the MML commands from the BSC belong to O&M commands. After the BTS is reset, the configuration data will be lost. Therefore, it is recommended that the data be delivered before the BTS is reparented. l Before the BTS is reset, you are advised to check whether the delivered data is correct by running the related EXP command. For example, the EXP BTSIPRT command corresponds to the IMP BTSIPRT command. l If the delivered data is different from the BTS 1 configuration data created at BSC 2, BTS 1 may fail to connect to BSC 2 after being reset.
3.
Reset BTS 1.
NOTE
l After BTS 1 is reset, it establishes a connection to BSC 2 by using the configuration data in the active flash area. l If BTS 1 cannot connect to BSC 2 by using the configuration data in the active area in a specified period of time, BTS 1 switches over the active and standby areas and then uses the original configuration data to connect to BSC 1. The time of connection attempts can be set by specifying Retry Number in the ACT BTSIMPDATA command. Each attempt lasts for 25 minutes. l After BTS 1 is successfully connected to BSC 2, the configuration data in the standby area is deleted once an OML is established. This avoids intermittent disruption of transmission. If a transmission fault occurs after data transmission returns to normal, solve the transmission problem immediately. Otherwise, the BTS configuration data cannot be rolled back.
4.
Delete the BTS 1 configuration data from BSC 1. (1) Run the BSC6900 MML command DEA BTS to deactivate the BTS. (2) Run the BSC6900 MML command RMV BTS to remove the BTS connections data.
BTS data is relocated within a BSC. Figure 5-4 shows an example of how to adjust BTS connection data within a BSC. If the ports are on different interface boards, the operation is the same. Figure 5-4 Adjusting BTS connection data within a BSC

6.1 Configuring the Network Optimization Parameters of Multiple Cells in Batches

To modify the settings of the network optimization parameters such as frequencies, power control parameters, and power levels of multiple cells at the same time, batch configuration can be applied.
Prerequisite
l l l The LMT runs normally. The LMT communicates with the BSC properly. The BTS communicates with the BSC properly.
Context
Batch configuration of network optimization parameters of multiple cells improves the configuration efficiency.
Procedure
Step 1 Get ready the command script of configuring the network optimization parameters of multiple cells in batches, and save the script in the .txt format to the local PC. Step 2 Run the LCK CMCTRL command to lock the system configuration rights.
NOTE
Before the batch execution of the command script, lock the configuration rights to prevent the conflict with other commands.
Step 3 Run the RUN BATCHFILE command to execute the command script in batches. Step 4 Run the ULK CMCTRL command to release the system configuration rights. ----End
Example

6.2 Reconfiguring the Signaling Link Data Rate over the A Interface
When the traffic of the BSC6900 increases, the existing signaling links may not meet the traffic load requirement. In this case, the narrowband signaling links at 64 kbit/s can be adjusted to the high-speed signaling links at 2 Mbit/s.
Prerequisite
l l l l l Network planning is complete. The MSC supports the signaling data rate of 2 Mbit/s. The TDM transmission mode is applied over the A interface. The EIUa/OIUa board is configured. The license for the high-speed signaling link is activated.
Context
A license is required to activate the high-speed signaling link feature. The high-speed signaling link refers to the 2 Mbit/s signaling link. Compared with the 64 kbit/ s signaling link, the 2 Mbit/s signaling link is configured with more timeslots; thus, the signaling transmission capacity of the 2 Mbit/s signaling link is greatly enhanced. Generally, high-speed signaling links are used for terrestrial transmission. Satellite transmission does not use high-speed signaling links.
CAUTION
Reconfiguring the signaling link over the A interface will interrupt the services of the BSC6900. Therefore, perform the operation when the traffic is low, for example, in the early morning. The whole process (including board restart) takes about 10 minutes.
NOTE
The signaling link rate over the A interface must be negotiated between the BSC6900 and MSC. After adjusting the signaling link rate over the A interface, you must adjust the signaling link rate at the MSC. For details about the configuration at the MSC, see relevant documents of the MSC.
Procedure
l Reconfiguring the Signaling Link Data Rate over the A Interface 1. 2.
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
Run the LST MTP3LNK command to query the configuration data of an MTP3 signaling link over the A interface. Run the RMV MTP3LNK command to remove the MTP3 signaling link.
CAUTION
l Removing the signaling link over the A interface will interrupt the services of the BSC6900. Therefore, perform the operation when the traffic is low, for example, in the early morning. l The rates of the A interface signaling links in the same link set must be identical. If the rate of one signaling link must be changed from 64 kbit/s to 2 Mbit/s, all the signaling links in the link set must be deleted. In addition, the A interface signaling links in the same link set must be configured with the same. 3. Run the ADD MTP3LNK command to add an MTP3 signaling link. In this step, set Link Bear type to MTP2. To set the data rate of the MTP3 signaling link to 2 Mbit/s, set Link rate type to 2M(2Mbit/s). To set the data rate of the MTP3 signaling link to 64 kbit/s, set Link rate type to 64k(kbit/s). In BM/TC separated mode where the TCS is configured remotely, you are advised to set Ater Mask of the MTP3 signaling links on the main TCS to other values rather than TS1. 4. Run the RST BRD command to reset the interface board that handles MTP2. The board is the Ater interface board (BM/TC separated) or the A interface board (BM/ TC combined) in the BM subrack to which the SS7 signaling link belongs. When the EIUa/OIUa is in active/standby mode, reset the standby EIUa/OIUa before resetting the active EIUa/OIUa. l Verifying the High-Speed Signaling Links 1. 2. Run the LST MTP3LNK command to query the configuration of an MTP3 signaling link. The Link rate type is 2Mbit/s. Run the DSP N7DPC command to query the status of an SS7 DSP. If the SCCP DSP state included in the returned message is Available, the DSP is reachable, and the newly established signaling link can function properly. If the SCCP DSP state included in the returned message is Unavailable, the newly established signaling link cannot function properly. In this case, check the timeslot settings at the BSC6900 and MSC by referring to the alarm reference on the LMT. ----End

6.3 Reconfiguring a Cell

You can modify the cell parameter settings and the neighboring cell relations according to the requirements of service adjustment and capacity expansion. 6.3.1 Changing the TRX Power
You can change the TRX power in a cell when the cell coverage needs to be adjusted according to network optimization. 6.3.2 Changing TRX Assignment in a Cell To balance traffic load in different cells under one BTS without adding TRXs, you can release the TRX resources in a low-traffic cell, and then assign the TRX resources to a high-traffic cell. 6.3.3 Changing TRX Frequencies When co-channel interference or adjacent-channel interference is generated in a cell, or when frequency replanning is required in the network, you need to change the TRX frequencies. 6.3.4 Changing Neighboring Cell Relations When a cell has redundant neighboring cells or missing neighboring cells, traffic imbalance may occur among cells. Therefore, you need to change the neighboring cell relations. If call drops occur frequently during call handover from a cell to a neighboring cell, you can modify the settings of neighboring cell relation parameters.
6.3.1 Changing the TRX Power

You can change the TRX power in a cell when the cell coverage needs to be adjusted according to network optimization.
Prerequisite
Context
CAUTION
Changing the TRX power in a cell may affect the ongoing calls in the cell. Therefore, perform this operation with caution.
Procedure
Step 1 Run the SET GTRXDEV command to change the TRX power in a cell. ----End
Example
SET GTRXDEV: TRXID=0, POWL=5;
6.3.2 Changing TRX Assignment in a Cell

To balance traffic load in different cells under one BTS without adding TRXs, you can release the TRX resources in a low-traffic cell, and then assign the TRX resources to a high-traffic cell.
Prerequisite
Context
CAUTION
If timeslots are insufficient after TRXs are added to a cell, run the TID BTSABISTS command to arrange timeslots. Running this command affects the services of the BTS that serves the cell and the services of the lower-level BTSs. After a TRX is removed, the TRX board does not work. After the last TRX of a cabinet group without any configuration data is removed, the cabinet group does not exist in the LMT. The BCCH TRX board cannot be removed.
Procedure
Step 1 Run the RMV GTRX command to remove the logical TRX in a low-traffic cell. Step 2 Run the ADD GTRX command to add a logical TRX. Step 3 Run the ADD TRXBIND2PHYBRD command to bind the new logical TRX with the TRX board. Step 4 Run the ACT GTRX command to activate the new logical TRX. ----End
Example
/*Remove a TRX*/
RMV GTRX: TRXID=0;
/*Add a logical TRX*/

ADD GTRX: IDTYPE=BYID, CELLID=1, TRXID=0, FREQ=49;
/*Bind the logical TRX with the TRX board*/

ADD TRXBIND2PHYBRD: TRXID=0, TRXTP=TRU, TRXPN=0, SRN=0, SN=0;
/*Activate the new logical TRX*/

ACT GTRX: TRXID=0;
6.3.3 Changing TRX Frequencies

When co-channel interference or adjacent-channel interference is generated in a cell, or when frequency replanning is required in the network, you need to change the TRX frequencies.
Prerequisite
Context
NOTE
If you change the TRX frequencies that do not participate in frequency hopping, the cell is not reset. If you change the TRX frequencies that participate in frequency hopping or the BCCH TRX frequency, the cell is reset 10 seconds later. That is, the BSC6900 resets the cell 10 seconds after frequencies are changed. If the services in the cell are not handed over to another cell within 10 seconds, the services in the cell are affected.
Procedure
Step 1 Run the ADD GCELLFREQ command to add a TRX frequency based on the network planning. Step 2 Run the MOD GTRX command to change the TRX frequencies. ----End
Example
ADD GCELLFREQ: IDTYPE=BYID, CELLID=0, FREQ1=50, FREQ2=75; MOD GTRX: TRXID=0, FREQ=50;
6.3.4 Changing Neighboring Cell Relations

When a cell has redundant neighboring cells or missing neighboring cells, traffic imbalance may occur among cells. Therefore, you need to change the neighboring cell relations. If call drops occur frequently during call handover from a cell to a neighboring cell, you can modify the settings of neighboring cell relation parameters.
Prerequisite
Context
Redundant neighboring cell: If cell A is a neighboring cell of cell B but the services in cell B are never or rarely handed over to cell A, cell A is a redundant neighboring cell. Missing neighboring cell: If cell A needs to have cell B as its neighboring cell for service handover but cell B is not configured as a neighboring cell of cell A, cell B is a missing neighboring cell. Through the analysis of related performance measurement counters, you can determine whether a cell is a redundant neighboring cell or missing neighboring cell of the originating cell.
You can determine whether a cell is a redundant neighboring cell of the originating cell by measuring the counters related to Outgoing Internal Inter-Cell Handover Measurement per Cell. You can determine whether a cell is a missing neighboring cell of the originating cell by measuring the counters related to Neighbor Cell Level Measurement per Cell.
Procedure
l If a cell has redundant bidirectional neighboring cells, remove them from the neighboring cell list of the cell. 1. Run the RMV G2GNCELL command to remove a redundant neighboring cell.
NOTE
Running this command can add or remove the neighboring cell only in the originating cell. For redundant bidirectional neighboring cells, you need to perform Step 1 in the originating cell and the neighboring cell.
If a cell has redundant unidirectional neighboring cells, remove them from the neighboring cell list of the originating cell. 1. 2. Run the RMV G2GNCELL command to remove the redundant neighboring 2G cells. Run the RMV G3GNCELL command to remove the redundant neighboring 3G cells.
If there is a missing bidirectional neighboring cell, add it to the neighboring cell list of the originating cell. 1. Run the ADD G2GNCELL command to add a missing neighboring 2G cell. If there is a missing unidirectional neighboring cell, add it to the neighboring cell list of this cell. 1. 2. Run the ADD G2GNCELL command to add a missing neighboring 2G cell. Run the ADD G3GNCELL command to add a missing neighboring 3G cell.
If call drops occur frequently during call handover from a cell to a neighboring cell, you need to modify the settings of the parameters related to neighboring cell relations. 1. 2. Run the MOD G2GNCELL command to modify the settings of the parameters related to neighbor relations between 2G cells. Run the MOD G3GNCELL command to modify the settings of the parameters related to neighbor relations between 3G cells.
----End
Example
/*Remove redundant bidirectional neighboring cells*/
RMV G2GNCELL: IDTYPE=BYID, SRC2GNCELLID=0, NBR2GNCELLID=1; RMV G2GNCELL: IDTYPE=BYID, SRC2GNCELLID=1, NBR2GNCELLID=0;

6.4 Reconfiguring Channels

When new features, such as half rate and dynamic conversion between TCHs and SDCCHs, are activated on the BSC, you can modify channel attributes to optimize network performance. 6.4.1 Converting TCHs and SDCCHs You can modify channel attributes to achieve the dynamic conversion between the TCH and the SDCCH and to optimize network performance. 6.4.2 Converting TCHs Between Full Rate and Half Rate You can modify channel attributes to achieve the dynamic conversion between full-rate TCHs and half-rate TCHs and thus to optimize network performance.
6.4.1 Converting TCHs and SDCCHs

You can modify channel attributes to achieve the dynamic conversion between the TCH and the SDCCH and to optimize network performance.
Prerequisite
Context
When the number of users in a cell increases substantially, some users may not be able to access the network because they cannot obtain SDCCHs. In this case, you need to convert some TCHs to SDCCHs to ensure that all the users can access the network. When the traffic load decreases, the TCHs used as SDCCHs are converted back to TCHs. The dynamic conversion between TCHs and SDCCHs can increase the system capacity.
Procedure
Step 1 Run the SET GCELLBASICPARA command to set SDCCH Dynamic Allocation Allowed to YES. Step 2 Run the SET GCELLCHMGBASIC command to set Idle SDCCH Threshold N1 and TCH Minimum Recovery Time. ----End
Example
//Set SDCCH Dynamic Allocation Allowed to YES// SET GCELLBASICPARA: IDTYPE=BYID, CELLID=0, SDDYN=YES;
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
6-9
//Set Idle SDCCH Threshold N1 to 3, Cell SDCCH Channel Maximum to 100, and TCH Minimum Recovery Time to 80// SET GCELLCHMGBASIC: IDTYPE=BYID, CELLID=0, IDLESDTHRES=3, CELLMAXSD=100, MINRESTIMETCH=80;
6.4.2 Converting TCHs Between Full Rate and Half Rate

You can modify channel attributes to achieve the dynamic conversion between full-rate TCHs and half-rate TCHs and thus to optimize network performance.
Prerequisite
Context
When the traffic volume increases, the half-rate feature can be applied to the CS service to double the number of users without adding TRXs. This helps to fully utilize the existing network resources and reduce costs. When the half-rate CS feature is activated, you need to set Enhanced TCH Adjust Allowed to YES to avoid timeslot arrangement for half-rate TCHs.
Procedure
Step 1 Run the SET GTRXDEV command to set TCH Rate Adjust Allow to YES. Step 2 Run the SET GCELLCHMGAD command to set TCH Traffic Busy Threshold. Step 3 Run the SET GCELLCHMGBASIC command to set Enhanced TCH Adjust Allowed to YES. ----End
Example
/*Set TCH Rate Adjust Allow to YES*/
SET GTRXDEV: TRXID=0, TCHAJFLAG=YES;
/*Set TCH Traffic Busy Threshold*/

SET GCELLCHMGAD: IDTYPE=BYID, CELLID=0, TCHBUSYTHRES=60;
/*Set Enhanced TCH Adjust Allowed to YES*/

SET GCELLCHMGBASIC: IDTYPE=BYID, CELLID=0, ENTCHADJALLOW=YES;

7.5 Configuring HUAWEI I Handover

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-110601 HUAWEI I Handover.
Prerequisite
l
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
Dependency on Hardware
None l l l Dependency on Other Features None License None Other Prerequisites 2G neighboring cell has been configured. For details, see Configuring the Neighboring Cell Relations.
Context
Handover is used to keep the call continuity of the UE during its movement. It also helps optimize the network performance by balancing the traffic between cells. Huawei I handover is classified into high-speed railway quick handover, emergency handover, enhanced dual-band network handover, load handover, and normal handover. The emergency handover is classified into TA handover, bad quality (UL/DL) handover, quick level drop handover, interference handover, and no downlink measurement report handover. The normal handover is classified into edge handover, hierarchical handover, PBGT handover, concentric cell handover, AMR handover, and better 3G cell handover.
CAUTION
l After quick handover, bad quality handover, and TA handover are successful, penalty is applied on the old cell during the penalty time to prevent an immediate handover back to the old cell. l During TA handover, if the TA Threshold of a co-site neighboring cell is lower than or equal to the TA Threshold of the serving cell, a handover to the cell is prohibited. l Intra-cell handover is allowed for the interference handover. However, when intra-cell handover is triggered several times continuously, it will be forbidden within a specified duration. l On the enhanced dual-band network, the MS should not be handed over to a cell in the same underlaid/overlaid cell group when the load handovers between the overlaid cell and the underlaid cell (specified by Load HO From UL Subcell to OL Subcell Allowed and Load HO of OL Subcell to UL Subcell Enabled) are allowed. This is to prevent a load handover of a normal cell from colliding with a load handover between the overlaid cell and the underlaid cell on the network. l PBGT handover toward a cell of the same group is not allowed once it is triggered between the enhanced dual-band network cells. l After the fast-moving micro cell handover is successful, penalty is applied on all the neighboring micro cells. l SDCCH handover supports the quick handover, TA handover, bad quality handover, quick level drop handover, interference handover, no downlink measurement report handover, edge handover, and fast-moving micro cell handover. It does not support the enhanced dual-band network handover, load handover, hierarchical handover, PBGT handover, AMR handover, better 3G cell handover, concentric cell handover, and tight BCCH handover.

7.6 Configuring Directed Retry

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-110607 Directed Retry.
Prerequisite
Context
Directed retry is a special type of handover. That is, during the assignment procedure, the BSC automatically initiates the directed retry procedure to switch the MS to a neighboring cell if no TCH is available or the traffic load is heavy in the serving cell. This feature helps reduce the call access failure due to TCH congestion in the serving cell, thereby increasing the access success rate. It can also balance the traffic load between different cells, thereby avoiding the traffic load imbalance among cells.
Procedure

7.8 Configuring Call Reestablishment

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-110503 Call Reestablishment.
Prerequisite
Context
When the MS encounters a radio link failure during the call, the call reestablishment procedure can be performed to reestablish the radio link connection so that the original call can proceed. This mechanism shortens call interruption and improves user experience.
Procedure
l
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
1. 2.
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA. In this step, set Call Reestablishment Forbidden to NO(No). Optional: Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLTMR. In this step, set TREESTABLISH to a proper value. If this parameter is set to a great value, the radio resources assigned previously are reserved for a long time, which results in network congestion. Select a cell for test. The test cell must have two TRXs. Where, TRX 1 is the BCCH TRX and TRX 2 is the non-BCCH TRX. TRX 2 requires an independent variable attenuator or a device that can dynamically adjust the uplink and downlink signals of TRX 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA. In this step, set Call Reestablishment Forbidden to NO(No). Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GCELLBASICPARA to query the setting of Call Reestablishment Forbidden. The expected result: The value of Call Reestablishment Forbidden is NO(No). Use an MS to make a call on the test cell. Block all the TCHs on TRX 1 so that the MS uses a TCH on TRX 2. Then, unblock all the TCHs on TRX 1. Attenuate the signals of TRX 2 sharply by using the variable attenuator or other devices, trace the signaling on the A and Abis interfaces, and monitor the channel status of the test cell. The expected result: As displayed in the channel status monitoring window, the MS reestablishes a call on TRX 1 of the test cell. You can trace the signaling messages shown in Figure 7-1 during the signaling tracing.

7.9 Configuring TCH Re-assignment

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-112501 TCH Re-assignment.
Prerequisite
Context
TCH re-assignment is a procedure in which the BSC re-assigns a TCH to the MS after the MS returns to the SDCCH because a TCH fails to be assgined to the MS.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. l Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCBASIC. In this step, set Allow Reassign to YES(Yes). Optional: Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCAD. In this step, set Frequency Band of Reassign to Same_Band(Same Band).
NOTE
This parameter indicates the frequency band to be assigned during TCH re-assignment. If the parameter is set to Same_Band(Same Band), then a channel of the same frequency band as the originally assigned TCH is assigned preferentially.
2. 3.
Reserve an idle TCH on the BCCH TRX and block other TCHs on the BCCH TRX. Reserve an idle TCH on the non-BCCH TRX and block other TCHs on the non-BCCH TRX. In addition, degrade the uplink signal transmitted on the TRX, for example, remove the uplink antenna for the non-BCCH TRX.
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
The expected result: Initiate a call in the cell. In the first assignment, a TCH on the non-BCCH TRX is assigned. The call is re-assigned onto the TCH of the BCCH TRX, because the assignment over the Um interface fails for this TRX. l Deactivation Procedure 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCBASIC. In this step, set Allow Reassign to NO(No). Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GCELLCCBASIC to query the setting of Allow Reassign. The expected result: The value of Allow Reassign is No. ----End

7.15 Configuring SDCCH Dynamic Adjustment

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-113001 SDCCH Dynamic Adjustment.
Prerequisite
Context
When the number of users in a cell increases substantially, some users may not be able to access the network through the cell because they cannot obtain SDCCHs. In this case, you need to convert some TCHs to SDCCHs. When TCHs do not meet the requirements of channel conversion, dynamic PDCHs are converted to SDCCHs to ensure that all the users can access the network.
When the traffic load decreases, the TCHs and dynamic PDCHs used as SDCCHs are converted back to TCHs to increase system capacity.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA. In this step, set SDCCH Dynamic Allocation Allowed to YES(Yes) and Dynamic PDCH Conversion to SDCCH Allowed to YES(Yes). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCHMGBASIC. In this step, set Idle SDCCH Threshold N1, Cell SDCCH Channel Maximum, and TCH Minimum Recovery Time as required. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSCHM. In this step, set Maximum Rate Threshold of PDCHs in a Cell and Reservation Threshold of Dynamic Channel Conversion as required. Monitor Channel Status by referring to Monitoring Channel Status, and make a CS call in the cell. The expected result: A TCH is converted to an SDCCH. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSCHM. In this step, set Maximum Rate Threshold of PDCHs in a Cell to 100 and Reservation Threshold of Dynamic Channel Conversion to 0. Perform PS services in the cell. The expected result: All TCHFs are converted to PDCHs. 4. 5. l Make another CS call in the cell. The expected result: A dynamic PDCH is converted to an SDCCH. Enable the cell to keep in idle state for two minutes. The expected result: The two channels used as SDCCHs are converted back to TCHs. Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA. In this step, set SDCCH Dynamic Allocation Allowed to NO(No) and Dynamic PDCH Conversion to SDCCH Allowed to NO(No).

7.17 Configuring 14-Digit Signaling Point Code

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-111802 14-Digit Signaling Point Code.
Prerequisite
l l l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features None License None Others The CN supports this feature.
Context
Huawei GBSS can be connected to the MSC through the No.7 signaling system. The No.7 signaling system adopts the coding scheme in the 14-bit format. The signaling point code consists of three sub-fields: sub-field for identifying the world geographical zone where the network is located; sub-field for identifying the geographical area or network within a specific world zone; sub-field for identifying the signaling point within a specific geographical area or network.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. At a newly deployed site, run the BSC6900 MML command ADD OPC to add an Originating Signaling Point (OSP). In this step, set OSP code bits to BIT14 (BIT14). If the OSPs in non-14-bit format have been configured, run the BSC6900 MML command RMV OPC to remove all the OSPs, and then proceed with Step 1.
2.

7.18 Configuring DRX

This section describes how to configure and verify the DRX.
Prerequisite
l l l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features None License None Other Prerequisites The BCCH, SDCCH, and TCHs have been configured in the test cell.
Context
DRX increases the call duration and standby time of an MS. Each MS is mapped to a paging group, and each paging group is mapped to a paging sub-channel in the serving cell. In idle mode, the MS detects the paging messages broadcast by the system only on the mapped paging sub-channel. The MS blocks other paging sub-channels by powering off certain hardware. This also saves power. The configuration of a BTS3012 in TDM mode is taken as an example.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLIDLEBASIC. In this step, set CCCH Blocks Reserved for AGCH to 2 and Multi-Frames in a Cycle on the Paging CH to 2_M_PERIOD(2 Multiframe Period).
l
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
Verification Procedure
1. 2. 3.
Run the BSC6900 MML command SND GCELLSYSMSG to forcibly send the system message to the test cell. Enable an Abis Interface CS Trace task, then select RSL in the test cell. Check the messages with the type of BCCH Information over the Abis interface for the one whose system-info-type is system-information-3. In the IE controlchannel-description of this message, if bs-ag-blks-res (CCCH Blocks Reserved for AGCH) is 2 and bs-pa-mfrms (Multi-Frames in a Cycle on the Paging CH) is 0, the system message is correct. Use a MS to make a call to another MS (assume that the IMSI of the called MS is "M"), and ensure that the call is set up successfully. Check the CS message of the Page Command type over the Abis interface. If the IE paging-group in this message is M%1000%14%14, the paging group contained in the paging message is consistent with the settings in the system message. In this case, the MS can implement DRX by monitoring the paging sub-channel.
NOTE

7.19 Configuring BTS Power Management

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-111601 BTS Power Management.
Prerequisite
Context
This feature enables the BTS to allocate loads dynamically according to the actual power situation, thus prolonging the working time of the system. Functions of the feature are as follows:
No mains supply When there is no mains supply available, the BTS hierarchical power-off function is performed to reduce the power consumption and extend the discharge time of the battery. In this case, the system automatically blocks all TRXs except the BCCH TRX. This is called a soft shutdown. When the capacity of the battery drops to the preset value, the system automatically shuts down all the TRXs to prevent over-discharging of the battery. This is called a hard shutdown.
Unfavorable working environment The TMU shuts down the PAs for some TRXs to reduce heat consumption if the temperature inside the rack exceeds the predefined threshold. When fatal faults occur on TRXs or the VSWR far exceeds the limits, the TRX is shut down.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSAPMUBP. In this step, set Board Parameter Configuration Enabled to YES(YES) and set power management parameters. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST BTSAPMUBP to query the value of Board Parameter Configuration Enabled. Expected result: The value of Board Parameter Configuration Enabled is YES, and the values of power management parameters are the specified ones. l Deactivation Procedure 1. ----End Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSAPMUBP. In this step, set Board Parameter Configuration Enabled to NO(NO).

7.20 Configuring Connection with TMA

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature MRFD-210601 Connection with TMA (Tower Mounted Amplifier).
Prerequisite
l Hardware Dependencies for Common TMA The RRU3004 does not support the connection with a common TMA.
The RRU3008 and RRU3908 support the connection with a common TMA. The GRFU and MRFU support the connection with a common TMA. The DRFU supports the connection with a common TMA through the GATM board. l Hardware Dependencies for Smart TMA The 3012 series base stations do not support the configuration of the smart TMA. A 3900 or 3036 series base station with the GATM board does not support the configuration of the smart TMA. A 3900 or 3036 series base station with the RXU board does not support the configuration of the smart TMA in non-SRAN mode. An antenna device is numbered uniquely within a site. In addition, the device number of a Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) and that of a TMA must be different within a site. l l Dependency on Other Features None License None
Context
Installed on the tower top, the TMA is a device for amplifying uplink signals. As an optional component of the antenna system, the TMA compensates for the feeder loss caused by a long feeder to improve the uplink sensitivity and converge. In a network whose uplink coverage is limited, the TMA can be installed to improve the receiver sensitivity and expand the cell radius, thus reducing the number of BTSs and minimizing investments. If a BTS is configured with the TMA, users must configure the BTS-related parameters based on the actual RF antenna port, power supply mode, and TMA characteristics.
Procedure

The BTS supports three clock synchronization modes: synchronization with the Abis clock, synchronization with the GPS clock, and synchronization with the BITS clock. In addition, the BTS internal clock can work in free-run mode to temporarily provide a stable reference clock source for the BTS.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure Synchronization with the Abis clock (default mode) 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSCLKPARA. In this step, set Clock Type to TRCBSC_CLK(Trace BSC Clock).

Context
In the traditional GSM+UMTS dual-mode solution, the GSM and UMTS base stations use the same site. Different RF modules are used for different radio standards and thus separate optical cables are required. As a result, many optical cables are required for the entire system, which increases the deployment cost. After this feature is applied, the demand of optical cables is reduced by 50%, which helps reduce the cost of the optical modules and optical cables and reduce the expense in the installation and maintenance of the optical cables between the BBU and RF modules.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSSFPMODE to configure the switching relation of the SFP ports and switch the data of CPRI0, CPRI1, and CPRI2 on the GTMU to CPRI3, CPRI4, and CPRI5 on the GTMU.

7.25 Configuring PBT(Power Boost Technology)

This section describes how to activate and verify the optional feature GBFD-115901 PBT(Power Boost Technology).
Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware Currently, the following types of BTSs support the PBT: the BTS3012, BTS3012AE, BTS3012 II, BTS3900 GSM, BTS3900A GSM, BTS3900L GSM, and DBS3900 GSM. The DTRU, DRRU, or DRFU board is configured for the base station. The doubletransceiver unit is configured with one carrier only on channel 0. l l Dependency on Other Features None License The license of this feature is activated.
Context
To improve uplink and downlink transmit power, power boost technology (PBT) offered by Huawei is an ideal solution. In PBT mode, the double-transceiver unit serves as a single transceiver. One signal output through modulation and DA conversion is divided into two RF signals. These two signals then enter the power amplifier for amplification. Then, the amplified signals are combined. As the two signals are aligned in phase, the transmit power is amplified and the downlink signal strength is increased. PBT is applicable to wide coverage areas. The following procedure takes how to configure PBT for the DTRU of the BTS3012 as an example. Figure 7-5 shows the connections between the DTRU and the DDPU in PBT mode.

l l In the tight frequency reuse pattern, the concentric cell technology helps avoiding or reducing interference and ensuring voice quality. The concentric cell technology divides an ordinary cell into two service layers: overlaid (OL) subcell and underlaid (UL) subcell. Compared with the UL subcell, the OL subcell is configured with more channels and thus it becomes the primary traffic bearer layer. The OL subcell aims to absorb most subscribers in the concentric cell. The UL subcell aims to solve the coverage problem and provide services in the area not covered by the OL subcell.

Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
7-95
Prerequisite
l l l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features None License The license is activated. The BTS must support the configured frequency band.
Context
Co-BCCH cell increases the traffic capacity of a cell, reduces handovers and interference, and implements the continuous coverage and sparse coverage in hot spots. A co-BCCH cell consists of an overlaid subcell and an underlaid subcell. The frequency band configuration is as follows: l l If the overlaid subcell is configured in the DCS1800M, the underlaid subcell is configured in the GSM900M or GSM850M. If the overlaid subcell is configured in the PCS1900M, the underlaid subcell is configured in the GSM850M.
NOTE
The signal loss of the DCS1800M band changes with the transmission distance. At the distance of 0.5-1 km, the signal power of the DCS1800M band is about 15 dB lower than the signal power of the GSM900M band.
The configuration of the co-BCCH cell should comply with the following principles: l Generally, a channel in the overlaid subcell is not directly assigned to a call, the incoming inter-cell handover request is not directly assigned to the overlaid subcell, and a call beyond the coverage of the DCS1800M TRX is not forcibly assigned to the overlaid subcell. The traffic in the underlaid subcell and the overlaid subcell should be properly assigned to maintain the traffic balance between the overlaid subcell and the underlaid subcell. Generally, the GSM900M or GSM850M TRX is configured in the underlaid cell to expand the coverage, whereas the DCS1800M or PCS1900M TRX is configured in the overlaid cell to absorb the traffic. Generally, the BCCH is configured on the GSM900M TRX. The priorities of different types of TRXs are: P-GSM > E-GSM > R-GSM. The SDCCH, PDCH, and BCCH should be configured on the same TRX. The frequency hopping between GSM900M and DCS1800M is not allowed. The frequency hopping within the same frequency band is allowed. Avoid using a multi-layer concentric cell due to inconsistent combination modes of the TRXs on the same frequency band. A multi-layer concentric cell affects the network KPIs, such as handover success rate and assignment success rate.

Prerequisite
l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features The configurations of the features on which this feature depends are complete. This feature depends on the feature GBFD-114401 Multi-band Sharing One BSC. l License The license is activated.
Context
The enhanced dual-band network is an improved version of the existing dual-band network. In the enhanced dual-band network, two single-band cells at the same level and layer with different coverage areas are logically formed into a cell group with two bidirectional neighboring cells. One is an overlaid subcell and the other is an underlaid subcell. In the enhanced dual-band network algorithm, channel resources can be shared and cell load is balanced between the two cells in a cell group.

NOTE
l When two cells belong to different operators, the enhanced dual-band network cannot be configured. l Before changing the relation between the cell and the operator, check whether the enhanced dual-band network is configured. If the enhanced dual-band network is configured, modify the attributes of the enhanced dual-band network.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. A GSM900 cell and a DCS1800 cell are configured in the GBSS. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD G2GNCELL to configure the GSM900 cell as the unidirectional 2G neighboring cell of the DCS1800 cell. Repeat step Step 1 to configure the DCS1800 cell as the uni-directional 2G neighboring cell of the GSM900 cell, so that the two cells are configured as bidirectional neighboring cells. Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD GCELL to modify the attributes of the GSM900 cell. In this step, set Cell IUO Type to EDB_cell(Enhanced Double Frequency Cell), Cell Inner/Extra Property to Extra(Extra), and Same Group Cell Index Type to BYID(By Index). Then, specify the Same Group Cell Index to the index of the DCS1800 cell.

Verification Procedure Verify the call access function in the enhanced dual-band network. 1. 2. 3. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCBASIC twice to set ECSC of the two cells to YES(Yes). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA twice to set Directed Retry of the two cells to YES(Yes). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOEDBPARA to set the parameters of the GSM900 cell. In this step, set UL Subcell Assignment Optimization to YES(Yes), UL Subcell Lower Load Threshold to 0, UL Subcell General Overload Threshold to 1, and Distance Between Boundaries of Subcells and Distance Hysteresis Between Boundaries to 0. Set Load HO Allowed and Load HO of OL Subcell to UL Subcell to NO(No). Make MS 1 and MS 2 (both supporting 900 MHz and 1800 MHz frequency bands) camp on the GSM900 cell. Then, use MS 1 to make a call to a fixed-line phone. MS 1 is assigned to a channel of the GSM900 cell. Maintain the call of MS 1 and use MS 2 to make a call to the fixed-line phone in the GSM900 cell. MS 2 is assigned to a channel of the DCS1800 cell because the load of the underlaid subcell is higher than UL Subcell General Overload Threshold. This indicates that the call in the underlaid subcell can be assigned to the overlaid subcell when the traffic in the underlaid subcell is heavy and the signals in the overlaid subcell are strong enough. Terminate all the calls. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOEDBPARA to set the parameters of the DCS1800 cell. In this step, set UL Subcell Assignment Optimization to NO(No), OL Subcell Assignment Optimization to YES(Yes), UL Subcell Lower Load Threshold to 50, and UL Subcell General Overload Threshold to 80. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOCTRL to set the parameters of the DCS1800 cell. In this step, set Min Power Level For Directed Retry to 0.

Make MS 1 camp on the DCS1800 cell and originate a call. MS 1 is assigned to the underlaid GSM900 subcell because the load of the underlaid subcell is not higher than UL Subcell General Overload Threshold. This indicates that the call in the overlaid subcell can be assigned to the underlaid subcell when the traffic in the underlaid subcell is light. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOBASIC. In this step, set all parameters of enabling a certain type of handover to NO(No) and Edge HO DL RX_LEV Threshold to 4. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOEDBPARA to set the parameters of the DCS1800 cell. In this step, set UL Subcell Assignment Optimization to NO(No), OL Subcell Assignment Optimization to NO(No), UL Subcell Lower Load Threshold to 50, UL Subcell General Overload Threshold to 80, Load HO Allowed to YES(Yes), Load HO of OL Subcell to UL Subcell to YES(Yes), Incoming OL Subcell HO Level TH to 10, and Outgoing OL Subcell HO Level TH to 5. Make MS 1 camp on the DCS1800 cell and originate a call to the fixed-line phone. MS 1 is assigned to a channel in the overlaid subcell. Then, MS 1 is handed over to the GSM900 cell because the load of the underlaid subcell is lower than UL Subcell General Overload Threshold. On the A interface, the HANDOVER PERFORM message is traced and the handover cause value in the message is traffic. Maintain the call of MS 1. Then, run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOEDBPARA to set the parameters of the GSM900 cell. In this step, set UL Subcell Assignment Optimization to NO(No), OL Subcell Assignment Optimization to NO(No), UL Subcell Lower Load Threshold to 0, UL Subcell General Overload Threshold to 1, Load HO Allowed to YES(Yes), Load HO of OL Subcell to UL Subcell to YES(Yes), Incoming OL Subcell HO Level TH to 10, and Outgoing OL Subcell HO Level TH to 5. The call is handed over from the GSM900 cell back to the DCS1800 cell because the load in the underlaid subcell is higher than UL Subcell General Overload Threshold. On the A interface, the HANDOVER PERFORM message is traced and the handover cause value in the message is traffic. Maintain the call. Then, run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOEDBPARA to set the parameters of the DCS1800 cell. In this step, set UL Subcell Assignment Optimization to NO(No), OL Subcell Assignment Optimization to NO(No), UL Subcell Lower Load Threshold to 0, UL Subcell General Overload Threshold to 1, Load HO Allowed to YES(Yes), Load HO of OL Subcell to UL Subcell to YES(Yes), Incoming OL Subcell HO Level TH to 63, and Outgoing OL Subcell HO Level TH to 62. Set Inner Cell EDGE HO Enable to YES(Yes). MS 1 is handed over the GSM900 cell because the receive level of MS 1 is lower than Outgoing OL Subcell HO Level TH. On the A interface, the HANDOVER PERFORM message is traced and the handover cause value in the message is better cell.

7.36 Configuring Flex MAIO

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-117001 Flex MAIO.
Prerequisite
l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features The configurations of the features on which this feature depends are complete. This feature depends on the feature GBFD-113701 Frequency Hopping (RF hopping, baseband hopping). This feature is mutually exclusive to the feature GBFD-117002 IBCA (Interference Based Channel Allocation). l l License The license is activated. Other Prerequisites Frame offset is not configured for the BTS. A cell is configured for frequency hopping, and the MAs used by the same timeslot have the same length.
Context
Under the BTSs with large capacity, adjacent-channel or co-channel interference is likely to occur among channels because the frequency resources are insufficient and tight frequency reuse is adopted. When dynamic MAIO is enabled, the MAIO value is dynamically adjusted according to the current interference and the MAIO value with the minimum interference is assigned to the channel. This reduces the adjacent-channel and co-channel interference in the GSM system. It also achieves tight frequency reuse within the BTSs and thus improves the system capacity.

Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
CAUTION
l The BTS3900B does not support this feature. l PS services do not support this feature. l Flex MAIO must be configured for all the cells under the same BTS, and the settings of flex MAIO parameters must be the same in all the cells. l Each cell can be configured with a maximum of two MAs. Flex MAIO cannot be enabled simultaneously in both the overlaid cell and the underlaid cell.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. l Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD GCELL. In this step, set both Start Flex MAIO Switch and HSN Modification Switch to ON(On). Perform the single user CS trace by referring to Tracing CS Domain Messages of a Single Subscriber. Make a call in the cell that is enabled with Flex MAIO. View the hopping channel Information Element (IE) of the Channel Activation message. The expected result: The hopping channel IE carries a valid MAIO (not 255) and HSN information. Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD GCELL. In this step, set both Start Flex MAIO Switch and HSN Modification Switch to OFF(Off).

7.37 Configuring ICC

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115801 ICC.
Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware Currently, the following BTSs support ICC: the BTS3012, BTS3012AE, BTS3900 GSM, BTS3900A GSM, and DBS3900 GSM. l l Dependency on Other Features None License The license of this feature is activated.
Context
Interference Cancellation Combining (ICC) is a technology that combines signals of multiple antennas to suppress interference. Generally, the interference received by different antennas is
generated by the same interference source. Thus, there are correlations between the interference signals received by different antennas. ICC uses the correlations when combing signals to eliminate some interference. In this way, ICC improves the anti-interference capability of equipment and increases the uplink coverage and receiver sensitivity.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GCELLBTSSOFT to view the value of software parameter No. 53. If the value is an odd number, it indicates that the ICC function is enabled. Otherwise, run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBTSSOFT to enable the ICC function. In this step, Set Item Index to 53. Set Item Value to its current value plus one. l Verification Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GCELLBTSSOFT to view the value of software parameter No. 53. If the value is an odd number, it indicates that the ICC function is enabled. Otherwise, the ICC function is disabled. Perform an FTP service in the existing network and then view the upload rate. If the ICC function is enabled, the upload rate is increased. If the ICC function is disabled, the upload rate is decreased. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GCELLBTSSOFT to view the value of software parameter No. 53. If the value is an even number, it indicates that the ICC function is disabled. Otherwise, run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBTSSOFT to disable the ICC function. In this step, Set Item Index to 53. Set Item Value to its current value minus one. ----End

7.38 Configuring EICC

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115821 EICC.
Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware The BTS3012 (QTRU), BTS3012AE (QTRU), BTS3900E, and BTS3900B do not support the feature. When the RRU3008 V1 and RRU3908 V1 are configured with more than four carriers, the feature is not supported. l Dependency on Other Features Um Interface Software Synchronization is recommended.
License The license of this feature is activated.
Context
l The interference among the signals received by multiple antennas has both spatial correlation and temporal correlation: CCI and ISI. Considering the spatial correlation and temporal correlation of the interference, ICC eliminates these two types of interference independently. EICC, however, considers the correlation of these two types of interference and constructs the multidimensional combining coefficient matrix to combine the signals according to the maximum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) criteria. In this way, EICC obtains the optimized uplink signals. ICC requires the matrix of interference. The matrix of interference is calculated on the basis of the training sequence of wanted signals. For each receive signal, the network estimates a channel model based on the training sequence of the signal, reconstructs the wanted signal, and subtracts the wanted signal from the receive signal to obtain the interfering signal. Then, the network estimates the matrix of each interfering signal and analyzes the statistical dependency of these interfering signals. Based on the statistical dependency, some interference is eliminated during the combination of receive signals to maximize the combination gain.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. l Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLSOFT to enable EICC for a cell with EICC Allowed set to YES(Yes). Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GCELLSOFT to query the value of EICC Allowed. Perform an FTP service in a live network with interference and then view the upload rate. If the EICC function is enabled, the upload rate increases. If the EICC function is disabled, the upload rate decreases. Make a call in the live network with interference. Then, view the counters related to the uplink receive quality on the M2000 in the following way: Choose Performance > Query Result on the menu bar. In the displayed window, click New Query. The Query Result window is displayed. Navigate to BSC6900 GSM > MR Measurement > Receive Quality Measurement per TRX. Then, check the value of the counter "Number of MRs on Uplink TCHF(Mean Receive Quality Rank 0)" and calculate the proportion of "Number of MRs on Uplink TCHF(Mean Receive Quality Rank 0)" to the sum of "Number of MRs on Uplink TCHF(Mean Receive Quality Rank 0)" through "Number of MRs on Uplink TCHF(Mean Receive Quality Rank 7)". If the EICC function is enabled, the proportion is high. This indicates that the speech quality is good. If the EICC function is disabled, the proportion is low. This indicates that the speech quality is bad. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLSOFT to disable EICC for a cell with EICC Allowed set to NO(No).

Context
Antenna frequency hopping enables the downlink data on each TRX to be randomly transmitted on other TRXs. This improves the data receiving quality of the MS from the BCCH TRX and the data sending quality of the BCCH TRX, which improves network performance. If the cell supports both baseband frequency hopping and antenna frequency hopping, the TRX involved in baseband frequency hopping must also participate in antenna frequency hopping. When the cell activation state is Active, the antenna frequency hopping feature can be configured quickly.

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-118001 BCCH Dense Frequency Multiplexing.
Prerequisite
l
7-110
The XPUa/XPUb board is configured. There are idle ports on the Abis interface board. l Dependency on Other Features This feature is mutually exclusive to features GBFD-113201 Concentric Cell, GBFD-114501 Co-BCCH Cell, GBFD-114401 Multi-band Sharing One BSC, and GBFD-114402 Enhanced Dual-Band Network. l License The license is activated.
Context
The BCCH dense frequency multiplexing technique is used in networks with limited frequency resources. It helps to reduce the number of frequencies occupied by the BCCH TRXs so that more frequencies can be used as TCHs, thus increasing the system capacity.
NOTE
If BCCH dense frequency multiplexing is applied with the increase of the cell load, the handover from a non-BCCH TRX to the BCCH TRX will be triggered, leading to the increase on the handover of the whole network.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCHMGBASIC. In this step, set TIGHT BCCH Switch to ON(On). Run the BSC6900 MML command SETGCELLCHMGAD. In this step, set Level Thresh. for Assign BCCH Udr TBCCH and Quality Thresh. for Assign BCCH Udr TBCCH as required. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOAD. In this step, set Load Threshold for TIGHT BCCH HO. Make a call in the cell to be verified. The expected result: The call is successfully made and the voice quality is good. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP CHNSTAT. In this step, set Object Type to CELL(Cell) and specify Cell Index. The expected result: The value of Sub Channel Status is Occupied. l Deactivation Procedure 1. ----End Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCHMGBASIC. In this step, set TIGHT BCCH Switch to OFF(Off).

7.43 Configuring IBCA

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-117002 Interference Based Channel Allocation (IBCA).
Prerequisite
l l Dependency on Hardware The XPUa/XPUb board is in position. Dependency on Other Features The configurations of the features on which this feature depends are complete. This feature depends on the features GBFD-118201 Soft-Synchronized Network or GBFD-510401 BTS GPS Synchronization, GBFD-113701 Frequency Hopping (RF hopping), GBFD-117601 HUAWEI III Power Control Algorithm, and GBFD-118621 Connection Inter BSC over IP (when IBCA of Inter-BSC is supported). This feature is mutually exclusive to the feature GBFD-117001 Flex MAIO. l l License The license is activated. Other Prerequisites Two cells are configured. Cell 1 has at least two TRXs; cell 2 has at least three TRXs.
Context
When the network admits a new call, the interference between the established calls and the new call is calculated. Based on the calculation result, the network assigns a channel with the minimum interference to the new call. This minimizes the overall interference in the network and thus enables a tighter frequency reuse pattern. This increases the network capacity while maintaining the voice quality in the entire network.
NOTE
l In an IBCA-enabled cell, each timeslot and each frequency band can be configured with only one MA group; for a co-BCCH cell, two MA groups can be configured (one for each frequency band). l A maximum of three MA groups can be configured for an IBCA-enabled cell; a maximum of 24 MA groups can be configured for all the IBCA neighboring cells. l The number of frequencies in each MA group in an IBCA-enabled cell cannot exceed 64. l A maximum of 12 IBCA neighboring cells can be configured for an IBCA-enabled cell. l The calculated value from Number of MAs for the Serving Cell Number of MAIOs for the Serving Cell Number of MAs for All IBCA Neighboring Cells Maximum Number of MAIOs for IBCA Neighboring Cells cannot exceed 8,192.

Record the MAIO information element in the Channel Activation message on the TCH. Compare the MAIO for the call made by MS 1 with that for the call made by MS 2. The expected result: The MAIOs in the two records are inconsistent, which indicates that the IBCA algorithm takes effect.
3. 4. 5.
Verifying IBCA Handover 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD G2GNCELL to configure cell 1 and cell 2 as handover and IBCA neighboring cells of each other. In this step, set Neighboring Cell Type to HANDOVERANDIBCANCELL(Handover and IBCA Neighboring Cell), and set IBCA Dyn Measure Neighbour Cell Flag to YES(Yes). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXCHANADMSTAT for cell 1 and cell 2. In this step, set Administrative State of the TCHs on the same timeslot of all nonBCCH TRXs to Unlock(Unlock) and set Administrative State of all other TCHs to Lock(Lock).

7.49 Configuring TRX Power Amplifier Intelligent Shutdown

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-111602 TRX Power Amplifier Intelligent Shutdown.
Prerequisite
l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features This feature and the feature GBFD-113701 Frequency Hopping (Baseband Hopping) cannot be used together. l License The license is activated.
Context
The TRX Power Amplifier Intelligent Shutdown function can be enabled during a specific period. After this function is enabled, idle TRXs can be shut down to reduce power consumption when estimated traffic load is light, and disabled TRXs can be switched on so that they are available for use when estimated traffic load is heavy. Generally, channel allocation measures are used together with this function. The channels on the BCCH TRX are preferentially assigned so that the utilization of the non-BCCH TRX channels is decreased and the overall power consumption of the BTS is reduced. In addition, the BTS allocates channels based on the priorities of TRXs. Channels on the TRXs with high priorities are preferentially assigned to MSs. In this way, the BSC centralizes busy channels into a few TRXs so that as many idle TRXs as possible can be shut down. When the BCCH TRX participates in baseband FH, the cell TRX cannot be shut down. Thus, the TRX power amplifier intelligent shutdown cannot be used.
When the BCCH TRX does not participate in baseband FH and all the TRXs (excluding the BCCH TRX) in the cell are idle, the TRXs can be shut down. If one or more TRXs (excluding the BCCH TRX) are not idle, the TRXs cannot be shut down. Before configuring Allow Shutdown of TRX Power Amplifier on the TRX, ensure that the TRX meets the following conditions: l l l The TRX is not on the BCCH. The PDCH is not available on the TRX. The antenna hopping is disabled for the TRX.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCDSTPA. In this step, set Allow Dynamic Shutdown Trx by BSC to YES(Yes), and set Time When the Function Is Enabled and Time When the Function Is Disabled according to the actual condition. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA. In this step, set Allow Dynamic Shutdown of TRX Power Amplifier to YES(Yes) to enable the TRX power amplifier intelligent shutdown function for the cell. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXDEV. In this step, set Allow Shutdown of TRX Power Amplifier to YES(Yes), thus allowing the BSC6900 to shut down the power amplifier of a TRX based on the traffic volume. Optional: Run the ADD BSCDSTPADATE command to set the period in which the TRX power amplifier intelligent shutdown function is disabled. In the period of heavy traffic, this function needs to be disabled.

7.50 Configuring TRX Power Amplifier Intelligent Shutdown on Timeslot Level

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-111603 TRX Power Amplifier Intelligent Shutdown on Timeslot Level.
Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware DRFU, DRRU, and optimized DTRU support this feature. BTS3012/BTS3012AE(QTRU), DBS3900(RRU3008), and BTS3900/BTS3900A/ BTS3900L(GRFU) do not support this feature. BTS3006C, BTS3002E, BTS3012, and BTS3012AE do not support this feature when they use a non-optimized double-transceiver unit. l l Dependency on Other Features None. License The license of this feature is activated.
Context
TRX Power Amplifier Intelligent Shutdown on Timeslot Level is a function based on which the PA is controlled on a timeslot basis. In this manner, the static power consumption of the PA is 0 in the timeslots when the TRX is has no data to transmit, and thus the static power consumption of the PA is reduced. TRX power consumption is a major part of the BTS power consumption, and PA power consumption is a major part of TRX power consumption. According to network operation experiences, TRXs do not transmit signals all the time. This function shuts down the PA of the TRX when there is no data to be transmitted in certain timeslots, thus reducing the cost on power greatly.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. l Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCDSTPA. In this step, set Allow Turning Off Time Slot to YES(Yes). Run the BSC6900 MML command LST BSCDSTPA to check the value of Time Slot Turning Off PA Enable. The expected result is Yes. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCDSTPA.

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-111605 Active Backup Power Control.
Prerequisite
l l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features None Dependency on License The license for this feature is activated.
Context
The BSC takes the cell coverage, capacity, and backup power time into consideration when performing the Active Backup Power Control function. An operator can configure three backup power control strategies: l Coverage preferred The BTS shuts down some TRXs and then gradually decreases the transmit power of the remaining TRXs. l Capacity preferred The BTS gradually decreases the transmit power of all the TRXs and then shuts down some TRXs. l Backup power time preferred The BTS shuts down some TRXs and at the same time decreases the transmit power of the remaining TRXs. The Active Backup Power Control function gradually reduces the coverage area of a cell, and thus the calls on the edge of the cell are absorbed by neighboring cells. Therefore, the network KPIs are not affected.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSBAKPWR. In this step, set Backup Power Saving Method to BYPWR(Reduce Backup Power), and set Backup Power Saving Policy, Drop Power Start Time[T1], Shutdown TRX Start Time[T2], Drop Power Start Time[T3], Drop Power Step, and Max Drop Power Threshold according to the actual requirements.

7.53 Configuring Power Optimization Based on Channel Type

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-111606 Power Optimization Based on Channel Type.
Prerequisite
Context
The power consumption optimization based on channel type has two functions: dynamic voltage adjustment and dynamic PDCH voltage adjustment. With the dynamic voltage adjustment function, different working voltages are provided for the TRX power amplifiers according to the applied modulation scheme. If all channels on a TRX are configured as TCHs and the TRX works in GMSK mode, the BTS provides the TRX with the working voltage required in GMSK mode. If a channel on the TRX is configured as dynamic or static PDCH and the TRX works in 8PSK mode; the BTS provides the TRX with the working voltage required in 8PSK mode. The BTS provides the TRX with appropriate working voltage, thus reducing the power consumption.

Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
7-135
Prerequisite
l l l l The license of this feature is activated. The M2000 supports the Weather Adaptive Power Management feature. The solar controller supports the Weather Adaptive Power Management feature. The solar controller is connected to the BTS.
Context
l l l The Weather Adaptive Power Management feature is license-controlled. Currently, only the BTS3900E supports the Weather Adaptive Power Management feature. Administrators or operators configure the relevant parameters and periodically record the weather forecast data on the M2000. The BTS obtains the information about the power generation capacity of the solar panel, power consumption of the BTS, and remaining capacity of the storage batteries from the solar energy controller, and then reports the collected information to the M2000 periodically. The M2000 periodically generates the working power levels of the BTS based on the available electric power of the current batteries of the BTS, predicted electric power to be generated, and predicted power to be consumed by the BTS. This minimizes the probability of power exhaustion and maximizes the service duration of the BTS without affecting the service quality. In this way, renewable energy is optimally configured and the cost for configuring the renewable energy is reduced. The main operations performed on the M2000 are as follows. For details, see the M2000 Operator Guide. History weather data serves as an important reference for the M2000 to predict the electric power to be generated on the BTS. You need to collect and configure the history weather data on the M2000. After you create a BTS power-saving task, set parameters relevant to the task, and perform the task on the M2000, the M2000 predicts the electric power to be generated on the BTS solar panel based on the weather data. Then, the M2000 periodically generates the working power levels of the BTS based on the information such as power generation capacity of the solar panel, remaining capacity of the storage batteries, and power consumption of the BTS.

Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features

This feature is mutually exclusive to the feature GBFD-118401 Abis Transmission Optimization, GBFD-118601 Abis over IP, GBFD-118611 Abis IP over E1/T1, GBFD-118602 A over IP, and GBFD-118622 A IP over E1/T1. l l License The license is activated. Other Prerequisites The BSC can be work in either BM/TC separate mode or BM/TC combined mode, and TDM transmission mode is applied over the Ater interface. A BTS in transmission optimization mode or an IP-based BTS cannot involve in the BSC local switch. In the sites with combined BTS cabinets, BSS local switch can be enabled only when the BTS software and TRX software both support BSS local switch.
Context
When the calling and called MSs are served by the same BSC, the BSC performs loopback on the speech signals inside the BSC rather than transmitting them over the Ater and A interfaces, therefore releasing the Ater transmission resources and TC resources. It helps save the local or remote resources on the Ater interface. If the MSC is not provided by Huawei, the following functions are unavailable in BSC local switch mode: lawful interception, MSC playing the announcement during a call, DTMF number receiving during a call, speech service and then fax service, and independent billing of BSS local switch. If the calling MS and the called MS are registered on two different MSCs, the BSS local switching is not supported regardless of whether the two MSCs are connected to the same MGW or different MGWs. In HDLC transmission mode, BSS local switching is not supported.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the SET BSSLS command. In this step, set BSS Local Switching General Strategy to BSCPRIORITY(BSC Priority) or BSCONLY(BSC Only), and specify Options for BSC Local Switch and Avoid Number for BTS.
NOTE
l If Options for BSC Local Switch is set to ATERCONGESTS(Start When Ater Congests), you need to specify Ater Jam Rate for BSC Local Switch. l If Options for BSC Local Switch is set to PREFIXNUMBER(Start by Prefix Number), you need to specify Prefix Number for BSC.
2.
Run the MOD GCNNODE command to determine whether the BSS local switch performed by the BSC only or by both the BSC and the MSC.
NOTE
l If the BSC is expected to perform the BSS local switch, you need to set MSC-Collaborated BSS Local Switching to NOTSUPPORT(Not Support). l If the MSC is expected to involve in the BSS local switch you need to set MSCCollaborated BSS Local Switching to NOTSUPPORT(Not Support) or ENHANCED (Enhanced Function), and then to set related parameters on the MSC side.

7.65 Configuring Ater Compression Transmission

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-116902 Ater Compression Transmission.
Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware The POUc board is in position. When the Abis interface uses TDM transmission, the DPUc board is configured. l l l Dependency on Other Features This feature is mutually exclusive to the feature GBFD-116901 Flex Ater. License The license is activated. Other Prerequisites The BSC initial configuration is complete. The BM/TC subracks are in separated configuration mode, and the TC subrack is configured remotely.
Context
When the BM/TC subracks are in separated configuration mode and the TC subrack is configured remotely, the compressed IP transmission mode over the Ater interface can be adopted to improve the transmission efficiency over the Ater interface and reduce the transmission cost. The Ater Compression Transmission feature is based on IP over PPP over STM-1 technology, where the IP packets of speech data are encapsulated using the PPP and then transmitted over the channelized STM-1. The compressed IP transmission mode over the Ater interface does not support IP over FE/GE, but only supports IP over E1 for transmitting the user plane data. The configuration on the signaling plane is similar to that in Ater over TDM mode.

7.66 Configuring BTS Ring Topology

This section describes how to activate and verify the optional feature GBFD-117801 BTS Ring Topology.
Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware The BSC is configured with the XPUa and EIUa boards. The BTS3900B does not support the feature. l Dependency on Other Features Huawei BTS ring topology II depends on GBFD-117802 Fast Ring Network Switch. The feature conflicts with the features GBFD-118601 Abis over IP and GBFD-118611 Abis IP over E1/T1. l License The license of this feature is activated.
Context
Ring topology is a special type of chain topology. In the topology, sites connect to each other to form a normal chain. The lowest-level site is connected to the BSC through a transmission link, thus forming a ring. If the communication of the ring is broken at a point, the topology of the sites that precede the breakpoint remains the same. The sites that follow the breakpoint form a new chain connection in the reverse direction. Compared with the ordinary chain topology, the advantage of the ring topology is as follows: When a connection is broken at a point, the ring automatically breaks into two chains. In this way, the sites precede and follow the breakpoint can work normally, thus improving the robustness of the system.

7.67 Configuring TRX Mutual Aid

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-113801 TRX Mutual Aid.
Prerequisite
l l l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on other features None License The license of this feature is activated. Other Prerequisites TRX Mutual Aid is supported in a cell. At least two TRXs in the same band are configured in the cell. BCCH TRX mutual aid is supported in the test cell. Baseband FH TRX mutual aid is supported in the test cell. Switchback of BCCH TRX mutual aid is supported in the test cell. Switchback of baseband FH TRX mutual aid is supported in the test cell.
Context
TRX mutual aid is a function with which the BSC designates an available TRX in the cell to replace a faulty TRX. TRX mutual aid ensures that the cell works normally when faults occur on some TRXs in the cell. l BCCH mutual aid is a function with which the BSC selects a normal TRX as the new BCCH TRX by means of the TRX cooperation algorithm when the BCCH TRX is faulty. In this
7-146
way, the cell is always functional. When the fault in the original BCCH TRX is rectified, the BSC can switch the BCCH back to the original TRX. l Baseband FH TRX mutual aid is a function enabled by the BSC when a TRX involved in FH is faulty in a cell whose Frequency hopping mode is set to BaseBand_FH(Baseband frequency hopping). In such a case, the BSC removes the faulty TRX from the FH group, whereas other TRXs in the FH group remain BaseBand_FH(Baseband frequency hopping).
TRX mutual aid is specific for each cell. That is, you can enable or disable the TRX Mutual Aid function for each cell independently.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCACCESS. In this step, set TRX Aiding Function Control to AllowReImmed(Allow & Recover Immediately) and Switchback Policy of Baseband FH Mutual Aid to PART(Part)
Verification Procedure Verifying BCCH TRX mutual aid and switchback of BCCH TRX mutual aid 1. 2. Power off the BCCH TRX board for the test cell. In this way, the BCCH TRX becomes faulty and BCCH mutual aid is triggered. Wait 15 minutes for cell initialization, and then run the BSC6900 MML command DSP CHNSTAT to query the channel status. Check whether Channel Type of channel 0 (not the BCCH TRX in initial configuration) is set to Main BCCH. Use an MS to access the cell with the BCCH TRX mutual aid function enabled, and make a call. Check whether the call is set up successfully and whether voice can be heard clearly during the call. Power on the TRX mentioned in step Step 1 to enable switchback of BCCH TRX mutual aid. Wait 15 minutes for cell initialization, and then run the BSC6900 MML command DSP CHNSTAT to query the channel status. Check whether Channel Type of channel 0 (the BCCH TRX in initial configuration) is set to Main BCCH. Use an MS to access the cell with the switchback of BCCH TRX mutual aid function enabled, and then make a call. Check whether the call is set up successfully and whether voice can be heard clearly during the call. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOPQUICKSETUP.

Verifying baseband FH TRX mutual aid and switchback of baseband FH TRX mutual aid 1.
l There are at least two operational TRXs in a baseband FH group to ensure the baseband hopping frequency when a TRX in the same group is faulty. l Operations such as performing a level-4 reset of a base station, adding a base station after removing it, activating a base station, and deactivating a base station clear the base station state recorded at the BSC. As a result, the cell participating in baseband FH TRX cooperation returns to the initial state.

Prerequisite
l l
7-148

None l l License The license is activated. Others Two MSs are available and they are registered at the HLR. The MSCs and the MGWs are fully interconnected and the MSC pool function is configured on the MSC side. The interconnection data between the BSC6900 and the MSC is negotiated. The OSP and DSP are configured. For details, see Configuring the OPC and DPC. The transmission over the A interface is configured. For details, see Configuring the A Interface (over TDM) or Configuring the Control Plane of the A Interface (over IP).
Context
An MSC pool consists of multiple MSCs handling the traffic generated from one MSC pool area. A BSC6900 belonging to an MSC pool area is connected to each MSC in the MSC pool. All MSCs in the MSC pool share load and resources for equal distribution of traffic in the MSC pool, thus reducing inter-MSC handovers and providing redundancy. One BSC6900 can be connected to a maximum of 32 MSCs.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD GCNOPERATOR to add a GSM operator. In this step, set Operator Type, Operator Index, Operator Name, MCC, and MNC to select the network of a specific operator; set MSC Pool Function Enabled to YES(Yes); set Length of NRI in TMSI and MSC NULL-NRI Value according to the data negotiated with the MSC. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD NRIMSCMAP to add the mapping between an NRI and an MSC. In this step, set NRI Value according to the data negotiated with the MSC. Ensure that the NRI value is the same as that on the MSC side. Enable the TMSI reallocation function on the MSC side. On the LMT, start the A interface message tracing by referring to Tracing Messages on the A Interface. In this step, set Trace Type to BSSAP and DPC(Hex) to the DPC of MSC1. On the BSSAP tab page, set Cell ID(cell1,cell2,...cell16) to the ID of the cell where MS1 camps on. Then, click Submit. The A Interface Trace message window is displayed.

Switch on MS1. Use MS1 to initiate a location update procedure on MSC1 side. The CN assigns a TMSI to MS1. Switch on MS2. Use MS2 to initiate a location update procedure on MSC2 side. The CN assigns a TMSI to MS2.
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)

NOTE
To enable the MS to initiate a location update at a specific MSC, run the BSC6900 MML command MOD GCNNODE to set the administrative states of all the other MSCs to UNAVAIL (Unavailable). After the location update, you need to change the states of these MSCs to NORMAL (Normal) again.
6.
Move MS1 to the coverage area of MSC2. Then, use MS1 to originate a call and check the A interface message tracing. The expected result: MS1 sets up the call through MSC1, and the home MSC of MS1 remains unchanged.
7.
Move MS2 to the coverage area of MSC1. Then, use MS2 to originate a call and check the A interface message tracing. The expected result: MS2 sets up the call through MSC2, and the home MSC of MS2 remains unchanged.
NOTE
In the TMSI reallocation procedure, the MSC assigns the TMSI that contains NRI (configured by the CN) to the MS. With this information, the BSC6900 can allocate the service to an appropriate MSC when the MS originates a call service. Note that the mapping between the NRI and the MSC on the BSC6900 side must be consistent with the mapping between the NRI and the MSC on the CN side. You can use the BSC6900 MML command ADD NRIMSCMAP to configure the mapping on the BSC6900 side.

When the power supply to BTSs at a level fails, this feature makes the BTSs at the level bypassed and used only as the transmission path so that signals of lower-level BTSs can be transmitted to the BSC6900. After power supply is restored, the BTS and lower-level BTSs in the chain topology automatically reset and restore. To enable the Abis bypass function for cascaded BTSs, you only need to set Abis ByPass Mode to TRUE(Support) for each cascaded BTS. A maximum of five levels of cascaded NGBTSs support Abis bypass in TDM transmission mode. This function requires the support from DIP switches. Table 7-6 and Table 7-7 describe the bits of DIP switches.

7.71 Configuring Abis Transmission Backup

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-117803 Abis Transmission Backup.
Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware Resources are available for terrestrial transmission and satellite transmission. The BTS supports the Ring I topology. l Dependency on Other Features This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-113901 Satellite Transmission over Abis Interface or GBFD-117801 Ring Topology. l Dependency on License The license for this feature is activated.
Context
When a disaster-caused failure occurs in the active SDH transmission link over the TDM-based Abis interface, the system automatically switches transmission link to a backup satellite transmission link. In this manner, the normal operation of the network is ensured. With Abis transmission backup enabled, the transmission mode in the forward link is different from that in the reverse link. That is, the forward link uses terrestrial transmission and the reverse link uses satellite transmission, as shown in Figure Figure 7-8. Figure 7-8 Network topology when Abis transmission backup is enabled
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD BTS. In this step, set Config ring to YES (Yes). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSTRANS. In this step, set Transmission Mode to TER_AND_SAT_TRANS(Terrestrial and Satellite).

7.72 Configuring BSC Node Redundancy

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-113725 BSC Node Redundancy.
Prerequisite
l l l l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features None License The license is activated. IP transmission mode is used between the BSC and the CN and between the BSC and the BTS. A BSC node redundancy group consists of two BSCs. Initial configuration is complete for BTSs and cells under the two BSCs and OPCs of the two BSCs. The BTSs and cells work properly.
7-158
If a BTS under a BSC in a BSC node redundancy group is single-homed, it can be configured only under one BSC. If the BTS is dual-homed, it should be configured with primary host under one BSC and secondary host under the other BSC.
Context
The BSC node redundancy feature can improve reliability of running services. When one BSC is faulty, services in cells controlled by this BSC can be quickly taken over by the other BSC, thus preventing service disruption in the cells. Assume that a BSC node redundancy group consists of two BSCs, BSC 1 and BSC 2. BSC 1 controls BTS 1, and BSC 2 controls BTS 2. The configuration of the BSC node redundancy group consisting of BSC 1 and BSC 2 is taken as an example.

7.74 Configuring OML Backup

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-113728 OML Backup. When the OML backup function of the BTS is enabled, the BTS is automatically switched to anther port to set up an OML if the established OML is disconnected, therefore reducing the duration of service disruption.
Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware The BTS3900B/BTS3900E does not support this feature. The BTS3006C and BTS3002E need to be configured with the DMCM supporting Abis Bypass. The BTS3012 (DTRU/QTRU) and BTS3012AE (DTRU/QTRU) need to be configured with the DABB.
l l
Dependency on Other Features None Exclusive Features The feature conflicts with the features GBFD-117801 BTS Ring Topology, GBFD-116601 Abis Bypass, GBFD-116701 16Kbit RSL and OML on A-bis Interface, GBFD-118601 Abis over IP, GBFD-118611 Abis IP over E1/T1, and GBFD-118401 Abis Transmission Optimization.
CAUTION
l The BTS in TDM or HDLC transmission mode supports this feature. The BTS in IP transmission mode does not support this feature. l The OMLs on ports 0 and 1 of the BTS main cabinet group can work in OML backup mode. The OMLs on other ports and the OMLs of the main and extension cabinet groups do not support this feature. l The active and standby OMLs between the BSC and the BTS must not be carried by the same E1/T1 cable, including the same E1/T1 cable of the upper-level BTS. When the upper-level BTS is connected to the BSC through only one E1/T1 cable, a secondary link should be added to enable that the upper-level BTS or the lower-level BTS is connected directly to the BSC if the lower-level BTS needs to use the OML backup function. l At least a 64 kbit/s idle timeslot needs to be reserved on E1/T1 port 1 for configuring this feature.
Context
l An OML is the operation and maintenance link between the BSC and the BTS. If an OML is faulty, the BTS cannot work. The OML backup feature allows the configuration of two OMLs on two independent E1 cables (one for each). When an active OML is faulty, the BTS uses a standby OML. Therefore, the BTS and cells can continue working without being out of service due to transmission failure or port failure. When this feature is used, two OMLs are configured respectively on ports 0 and 1 of the BTS. After the BTS is reset, it attempts to establish OMLs on the two ports in turn. If the BTS establishes an OML on one port, it always uses the OML on this port unless the BTS is reset or the OML is broken. When the established OML is broken, the BTS attempts to establish an OML on the other port. If the OML is successfully established, the BSC triggers an OML switchover. After the OML switchover, the RSL, TCH, idle timeslot, and monitoring timeslot are not switched over. That is, for port 0 and port 1, if the transmission link or port where the working OML is located is faulty, all the TRX channels, idle timeslots, and monitoring timeslots configured on this port become unavailable. The TRX channels, idle timeslots, and monitoring timeslots on a normal port, however, are still available. Therefore, services are still provided in the cells under the BTS.

7.76 Configuring Fast Move Handover

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-510102 Fast Move Handover.
Prerequisite
l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features The configurations of the features on which this feature depends are complete. This feature depends on the feature GBFD-510103 Chain Cell Handover. l License The license is activated.
Context
Handovers along railway lines need to be completed quickly because users move fast from the coverage of one cell to that of another cell. To reduce failures, a second handover must be initiated quickly upon a handover failure (for example, interference occurs abruptly on the radio interface). The fast move handover algorithm, which is optimized on the basis of the current algorithm, can trigger better cell handover within a short period.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOBASIC. In this step, set Quick Handover Enable to YES(Yes). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOFAST. In this step, set Quick Move Speed Threshold, Quick Handover Up Trigger Level, Quick Handover Down Trigger Level, Quick Handover Offset, Quick Handover Punish Time, Quick Handover Punish Value, Serving Cell Filter Length MR Number, Neighbor Cell Filter Length MR Number, Ignore Measurement Report Number, EN Quick PBGT HO ALG When MS Leaves BTS, Handover Direction Forecast Enable, Handover Direction Forecast Statistic Times, Frequency Shift Handover Statistic Time, and Frequency Shift Handover Duration as required.
NOTE
If the cell is configured with external neighboring cells, run the BSC6900 MML command MOD GEXT2GCELL. In this step, set Quick Handover Offset, Quick Handover Punish Time, and Quick Handover Punish Value as required.
3. l
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLOTHEXT. In this step, set UL Frequency Adjust Switch and UL Frequency Adjust Value as required. Move the MS away from the serving cell until the frequency offset in the measurement report, CH RQD, or HO DETECT message is a negative value and the moving speed of the MS is greater than Quick Move Speed Threshold. When the frequency offset information fails to be reported or the frequency offset information is invalid, the uplink level in the serving cell is lower than Quick Handover Up Trigger Level, the downlink level in the serving cell is lower than Quick Handover Down Trigger Level, and the path loss of configured chain neighboring cells is lower than the specified threshold of the path loss of the serving cell. On the LMT, trace BSSAP messages over the A interface. The expected result: The BSC sends a Handover Performed message to the MSC with the handover cause value of "better-cell".

7.88 Configuring Satellite Transmission over Pb Interface

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-113904 Satellite Transmission over Pb Interface.
Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware None
l l
Dependency on Other Features None License The license is activated.
Context
l If terrestrial lines between the BSC and the external PCU cannot be installed or the installation cost of the terrestrial lines is high, satellite transmission can be deployed on the Pb interface. The transmission delay over the G-Abis interface of a satellite-capable cell is longer than that over the G-Abis interface of an ordinary cell. If the same amount of data is transmitted by these two types of cell, it takes more time for the satellite-capable cell to wait for a response message from the MS. Therefore, the transmission performance of a satellitecapable cell is worse than that of an ordinary cell. Under the condition that the average downlink rate of an MS is not affected, the network reduces the maximum number of downlink PDCHs allocated to the MS so that the time for the RLC sending window to overflow is prolonged.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Configure the satellite transmission on the Pb interface through the LMT. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD PBE1T1 to add an E1/T1 link on the Pb interface. In this step, set Transmission Mode to SATEL(Satellite Transmission).
NOTE
The value of Start PCIC must be a multiple of 128. After satellite transmission is applied on the Pb E1 link, the Pb signaling link switches to the satellite transmission mode automatically based on the transmission mode of the selected port.

7.90 Configuring High Speed Signaling

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115201 High Speed Signaling.
Prerequisite
l l l l Dependency on Hardware The MSC supports high-speed signaling. Dependency on Other Features None Dependency on License The license for this feature is activated. Other prerequisites TDM transmission is applied over the A interface. The EIUa/OIUa board is configured. The OPC and DPC are configured.
Context
A high-speed signaling link is a 2 Mbit/s signaling link. Compared with the 64 kbit/s signaling link, the 2 Mbit/s signaling link is configured with more timeslots; thus, the signaling transmission capacity of the 2 Mbit/s signaling link is greatly enhanced. Generally, high-speed signaling links are used for terrestrial transmission. Satellite transmission does not use high-speed signaling links.
WARNING
Reconfiguring the signaling link over the A interface will disrupt the services of the BSC6900. Therefore, perform the operation when the traffic is light, for example, in the early morning. The whole process (including board restart) takes about 10 minutes.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. 2. 3. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD AE1T1 to add an E1/T1 on the A interface. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD MTP3LKS to add an MTP3 signaling link set. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD MTP3LNK. In this step, set Link Bear Type to MTP2(MTP2) and Link rate type to 2M(2Mbit/s).
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)

NOTE
In BM/TC separated mode where the TCS is configured remotely, you are advised to set Ater Mask of the MTP3 signaling links on the main TCS to values rather than TS1.
4. l 1.
Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD MTP3RT to add an MTP3 route. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST MTP3LNK to query the information about the MTP3 signaling link. The expected result: The value of Link rate type is 2Mbit/s.
Deactivation Procedure 1. 2. 3. 4. Run the BSC6900 MML command RMV MTP3LNK. In this step, set Signalling link set index and Signalling link code. Run the BSC6900 MML command RMV MTP3RT. In this step, set DSP index and Signalling link set index. Run the BSC6900 MML command RMV MTP3LKS. In this step, set Signalling link set index.

7.91 Configuring Local Multiple Signaling Points

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115301 Local Multiple Signaling Points.
Prerequisite
l l l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features None Dependency on License The license for this feature is activated. Other prerequisites Mltiple OSPs are configured. Multiple DSPs are configured. The route, link set, and link data are configured. The Operation State of the link is Available.
Context
The local multiple signaling point feature enables one physical BSC to serve as multiple logical BSCs so that each logical BSC can exchange signaling with the MSC. The traffic load is distributed to each logical BSC. Therefore, the impact on the paging traffic of the BSC is reduced.
CAUTION
The original intra-BSC handover or intra-BSC directed retry may be converted into outgoing BSC handover or outgoing BSC directed retry after local multiple signaling points are configured. As a result, the signaling load on the A interface and the call establishment time are increased.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD OPC repeatedly to add the OSPs. The parameters Network ID and OSP code bits of the multiple OSPs must be consistent. OSP Codes must be different among the OSPs. In addition, OSP Codes must be different from DSP Codes. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD N7DPC repeatedly to add the desired DSPs. In this step, the OSP index and DSP type specified in Step 1 must be set.
NOTE
2.
After the DSP is configured, the connection from a logical BSC to the MSC is configured. Take the establishment of the connections from two logical BSCs to the same MSC as an example. First, you need to add two OSPs with different OSP codes. Then, add two DSPs with identical DSP code, which is the signaling code of the MSC. In this manner, the connections from two logical BSCs to the same MSC are established.
Verification Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD OPC to configure the OSP of the logical BSC. In this step, set Network ID, OSP code bits, and OSP code according to network planning. The OSP codes of multiple logical BSCs must be different. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD N7DPC to configure the logical link between the OSP and DSP.
NOTE
2.
If multiple logical BSCs need to be connected to the same DPC, then the DSP code and DSP type for each logical connection must be the same. The OSP index needs to be set to the OSP index of the logical BSC set in Step 1. The DSP bear type needs to set according to network planning. In the case of ATM/TDM transmission, select MTP3(MTP3); in the case of IP transmission, select M3UA(M3UA); in the case of co-transmission, select MTP3_M3UA(MTP3 and M3UA).
3.
Configure the transmission link between OSP and DSP. If the bear type is MTP3, then the MTP3 link set, MTP3 link, and MTP3 route need to be configured. If the bear type is M3UA, then the M3UA link set, M3UA link, M3UA route, M3UA local entity, and M3UA destination entity need to be configured. The following takes the MTP3 bear type as an example. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD MTP3LKS to configure the link set between the OSP and DSP. In this step, set DSP index to that configured in Step 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD MTP3LNK to configure the physical link between the OSP and DSP. In this step, set the Signaling link set index as specified in Step 4. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD MTP3RT to configure the route from the OSP to the DSP. The route from the OSP to the DSP can be set up either in direct connection or transfer manner.
4. 5.

Issue 05 (2011-03-07)

NOTE
In direct connection manner, the DSP index in this command must be the same as the DSP index corresponding to the link set configured in Step 4. If a signaling transfer point is used, the DSP index in this command must be different from the DSP index corresponding to the link set configured in Step 4 and the DSP corresponding to the link set must provide the signaling link transfer functionality.
7.
Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP N7DPC to query the status of the DSP configured in Step 2. The expected result: The value of SCCP DSP state is Accessible.
Deactivation Procedure 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command RMV N7DPC to remove a DSP. Run the BSC6900 MML command RMV OPC to remove an OSP.

7.92 Configuring Semi-Permanent Connection

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-114701 Semi-Permanent Connection.
Prerequisite
Context
After a semi-permanent connection is configured, the information received by the E1 timeslot at the receiving end is exchanged to an E1 timeslot at the transmitting end by the internal timeslot switching function of the BSC. In this way, the collected information is transparently transmitted in the BSC. Huawei BSS supports two types of semi-permanent connection: l Semi-permanent link The input and output of a semi-permanent link are located at the BSC interface board. In this case, the BSC performs timeslot switching between the input timeslot and the output timeslot. l Monitoring timeslot One end of the channel associated with a monitoring timeslot is a BTS port, and the other end of the channel is a BSC interface board. In this case, the BTS and the BSC together perform timeslot switching.

Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
Procedure
l Activating a semi-permanent link 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD SEMILINK to add a semi-permanent link in the BSC. In this step, set Application Type to OTHER(OTHER), and set Semipermanent Link Rate according to the bandwidth requirements.
NOTE
In BSC Start Timeslot No. and Out BSC Start Timeslot No. need to be set according to the network planning. Ensure that the associated timeslots are not occupied.
Activating a monitoring timeslot 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSMONITORTS to add a monitoring timeslot. In this step, set Time Slot Rate according to the bandwidth requirements.

7.93 Configuring End-to-End MS Signaling Tracing

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-116401 End-to-End MS Signaling Tracing.
Prerequisite
l l l Dependency on Hardware The MSC and M2000 support end-to-end MS signaling tracing. Dependency on Other Features None Dependency on License The license for this feature is activated.
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
7-197
Context
End-to-end MS signaling tracing is a function based on which tracing tasks are created by each NE on the call path. After each NE traces the MS signaling, the M2000 interprets and summarizes the MS signaling and then displays the MS signaling on the M2000 client. By using the end-to-end MS signaling tracing function, the system can collect the information about the specified MS when required. This function occupies a small number of system resources. By recording the signaling about an MS, this function helps to identify the NE where the fault occurs, thus facilitating fault handling.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. l Run the BSC6900 MML command SET OTHSOFTPARA. In this step, set Support End-to-end User Tracing Function to YES(Yes). Run the BSC6900 MML command LST OTHSOFTPARA to query the value of Support End-to-end User Tracing Function. The expected result: The value of Support End-to-end User Tracing Function is YES(Yes). 2. Activate a task of end-to-end MS signaling tracing at the M2000 and use an MS to make a call under the BSC. The expected result: The M2000 generates a report on the end-to-end MS signaling tracing. l Deactivation Procedure 1. ----End Run the BSC6900 MML command SET OTHSOFTPARA. In this step, set Support End-to-end User Tracing Function to NO(No).
7.94 Configuring Active Power Control

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-117602 Active Power Control.
Prerequisite
Context
Active Power Control enables the immediate performance of power control after an MS successfully gains access to the network or a handover is successfully performed in the BSC. In
such a case, the BSC can control the uplink and downlink power promptly. Therefore, both the BTS and the MS transmit signals at a proper power. With the active power control, the system interference is decreased, the QoS is ensured, and the power consumption of the MS or BTS is decreased.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. 2. l Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPWRBASIC. In this step, set Power Forecast Allowed to YES(Yes). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA. In this step, set UL PC Allowed to YES(Yes), and set DL PC Allowed to YES(Yes). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXCHANADMSTAT. In this step, specify TRX ID and Channel No., and then set Administrative State to Lock (Lock) to block all TCHs on the BCCH TRX of cell 0 except SDCCH. Perform the single user CS trace by referring toTracing CS Domain Messages of a Single Subscriber in cell 0. Make a call.
NOTE
2. 3.
Ensure that the level is good during the test with the uplink/downlink level being greater than -60 dBm in the measurement report.
4.
Check the result in Single User CS Trace window. The expected result: The call is established successfully and the voice quality is good. The TCH occupied by the call is on a non-BCCH TRX, and the Measurement Result message regarding the call is present before the Channel Activation message is delivered. In this case, the values of the fields bs power and ms power in the Channel Activation message are not the maximum (the maximum power level of the 900M cell is 5 and that of the 1800M cell is 0). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPWRBASIC. In this step, set Power Forecast Allowed to NO(No). Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GCELLPWRBASIC to query the setting of Power Forecast Allowed. The expected result: Power Forecast Allowed is set to NO.

Prerequisite
l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features None
Dependency on License The license for this feature is activated.
Context
Ciphering helps ensure information security. The use of ciphering algorithms in telecommunications increases the signaling load and the access delay of a call. If the BSS does not support a specified ciphering algorithm, call accesses or handovers might fail. In this case, the performance counters such as assignment success rate and handover success rate are affected. The configuration of A5/3 ciphering algorithm is taken as an example. Ciphering needs to be configured at both the BSC6900 and the MSC.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCBASIC. In this step, set A Interface Tag to GSM_PHASE_2Plus. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLSOFT. In this step, set SD Quick HO to ON(On).

In this step, set Cell Index to the index of the test cell, and SD Quick HO to ON(On). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA. In this step, set Cell Index to the index of the test cell, and set Encryption Algorithm to A5/0-1&A5/3-1. On the LMT, open the A Interface Trace dialog box. On the Basic tab page, set DPC (Hex) of the test cell. In the Trace Type area, select BSSAP. On the BSSAP tab page, set Cell ID (cell1,cell2,cell16) of the test cell. Then, click Submit. After the A interface tracing window is opened, use the MS to initiate a call in the test cell. The expected result: The call is set up.

License The license is activated. Other Prerequisites A over TDM transmission is used.
Context
With the ALC feature, the gain of the digital voice signals on the uplink and downlink is adjusted every 20 ms, and the amplitude of the digital voice signals is changed statically or dynamically. This keeps the voice level of the entire network in a defined state, thus preventing the interference to a call due to the volume fluctuation of the two parties involved in the call.

7.100 Configuring Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC)

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115602 Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC).
Prerequisite
l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features When a call uses the Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) feature, this feature is mutually exclusive to features GBFD-115701 TFO and GBFD-115702 TrFO. l l License The license is activated. Other Prerequisites A over TDM transmission is used.
Context
TFO and AEC cannot be used together. The AEC helps reduce the acoustic echo caused by the terminal, which improves the speech quality. Acoustic echo is generated when the MS speaker is not completely isolated from the MS receiver. After the voice of one party (Party A) reaches the MS, some voice is transmitted back to Party A through the receiver. Then, Party A can hear his/her own voice. The phenomena is known as acoustic echo. AEC is a feature with which acoustic echoes can be pre-assessed and eliminated by means of the analysis on forward and backward voice signals.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. l Run the BSC6900 MML command SET TCPARA. In this step, set AEC Switch to ON(On) and other parameters to their default values. Run the SET TCPARA command. In this step, set AEC Switch to OFF(Off) and other parameters to their default values. Use one test MS (MS 1) to make a call to another test MS (MS 2). Check that acoustic echo occurs, and then hand off the call.
NOTE
The echo is easily generated when a common MS enabled with the handsfree function is placed in a sealing box.
3. 4.
Run the SET TCPARA command. In this step, set AEC Switch of the DPU board on the test BSC to ON(On) and other parameters to their default values. Run the LST TCPARA command to check whether all the parameters set in step Step 3 are listed. If all the parameters are listed, the previous commands are executed successfully. Use MS 1 to make a call to MS 2 again, and check whether acoustic echoes are reduced. If the echoes are reduced, finish the verification. If the echoes are not reduced, hand off the call and then run the SET TCPARA command. In this step, set AEC Echo Return Loss to a smaller value. If AEC Echo Return Loss is already set to the smallest value, set AEC Echo Path Delay to a greater value. Repeat step Step 5 to check whether the echoes are reduced.
NOTE
5.
l The acoustic echo is generated between MSs. The echo generated between an MS and a fixedline phone is termed the electric echo. The electric echo problem is solved by the CN side. l When satellite transmission on the Abis or Ater interface is required, AEC Path Delay must be set, so as to eliminate the extra delay caused by satellite transmission.
Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the SET TCPARA command. In this step, set AEC Switch to OFF(Off).

7.111 Configuring WB AMR

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115507 WB AMR.
Prerequisite
l l l l l Dependency on Hardware The type of the BTS is BTS3900. Dependency on Other Features None License The license is activated. The core network supports the WB AMR. The MS supports the WB AMR.
Context
l WB AMR is a coding scheme that can significantly improve speech quality. With WB AMR, the sampling rate is increased to 16 kHz and the speech frequency range is extended to 0.057 kHz. WB AMR provides clear and loud voice and high-quality speech compared with the narrow band AMR with the sampling rate of 8 kHz and the speech frequency range between 200 Hz and 3400 Hz.
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
WB AMR adopts the Guassian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) mode and supports the rates of 6.60 kbit/s, 8.85 kbit/s, and 12.65 kbit/s on full-rate TCHs.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCBASIC. In this step, set A Interface Tag, Um Interface Tag, and Abis Interface Tag to GSM_PHASE_2Plus. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCACCESS to set the access control parameters of the cell.
NOTE
When setting Speech Version, select FULL_RATE_VER5(Full-rate VER 5), as well as the default speech versions.
3.
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCAMR to set the call control AMR parameters of the cell. The call control AMR parameters are AMR UL Coding Rate adj.th1[WB], AMR UL Coding Rate adj.th2[WB], AMR UL Coding Rate adj.hyst1[WB], AMR UL Coding Rate adj.hyst1[WB], AMR DL Coding Rate adj.th1[WB], AMR DL Coding Rate adj.th2[WB], AMR DL Coding Rate adj.hyst1[WB], and AMR DL Coding Rate adj.hyst2[WB].
NOTE
For cells with good Um interface quality, the value of the coding rate adjustment threshold should be relatively low. In this way, the rate can be adjusted to a higher rate more easily. If the value of the coding rate adjustment threshold is high, the low rate coding mode should be used to improve the robustness on the Um interface. The lower the coding rate hysteresis is, the more frequent the rate adjustment is. The higher the coding rate hysteresis is, the more stable the rate is.
Verification Procedure 1. 2. Use two MSs supporting the WB AMR to call each other. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP CALLRES to check that Channel Service Type is set to WB_AMR(WAMR). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCACCESS to deselect FULL_RATE_VER5(Full-rate VER 5) of Speech Version.

7.112 Configuring Streaming QoS(GBR)

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-119901 Streaming QoS(GBR).
Prerequisite
l l l l l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features None License The license is activated. The cell supports packet services. The MS and SGSN support the PFM procedures and R99 QoS. The cell is configured with static PDCHs.
Context
In the case of streaming class, the BSC allocates radio blocks to users according to the GBR of the QoS attributes and ensures that the data transmission rates meet the requirements of streaming class. If streaming services support resource preemption, high-priority streaming services can preempt the radio blocks of low-priority streaming services when radio resources are insufficient. This ensures that high-priority services can preferentially use radio resources. If streaming services do not support resource preemption, the GBRs are decreased; when radio resources become sufficient, the GBRs are restored to the negotiated values. When the BSC needs to decrease or restore GBRs, it requests the SGSN to modify the GBRs through the PFM procedures.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSOTHERPARA. In this step, set Support GBR QoS to YES(Support) . If you plan to enable the streaming services to preempt PDCHs, set Preempt Switch of Streaming Resource to ON(ON). Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD NSEIn this step, set PFC Support to YES (Support). On the SGSN side, enable network service entity (NSE) to support Packet Flow Context (PFC). If you plan to enable the streaming services to preempt PDCHs, ensure that the NSE contains ARP. Run the BSC6900 MML command RST SIGBVC to reset SIGBVC to ensure that the NSE on the CN side is consistent with that on the NE side. Enable Um Interface PS Trace and view the information of PSI13. The expected result: The value of pfc-feature-mode in the PSI13 message is 1. 2. Enable Gb Interface PTP Trace. Perform PDP context activation on the MS whose registration type is streaming services. The expected result: Signaling such as CREATE BSS PFC and CREATE BSS PFC ACK are in the trace messages. 3. Use the MS whose registration type is streaming service and the MS whose registration type is interactive or background to perform PS services. The MSs share the same channel group.
2. 3.
4. l
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
The expected result: For the MS whose registration type is streaming service, the BSS assigns resources according to the registered GBR. The other MSs share remaining resources. 4. Use multiple MSs whose registration types are streaming service to perform PS services. The expected result: If the priorities of the MSs are the same, the BSS assigns resources to the MS that accesses the network earlier. If the priorities are different and preemption is supported, the MS with higher priority can preempt the resources of the MS with lower priority.
NOTE
The information element ARP of CREATE BSS PFC of the Gb interface specifies the priority of streaming services and whether resources can be preempted.
Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSOTHERPARA. In this step, set Support GBR QoS to NO(Not Support) and Preempt Switch of Streaming Resource to OFF(OFF). Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD NSEIn this step, set PFC Support to NO (No Support). The expected result: The value of pfc-feature-mode in the PSI13 message is 0.

7.113 Configuring QoS ARP&THP

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-119902 QoS ARP&THP.
Prerequisite
l l l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features None License The license is activated. The cell supports packet services.
Context
The BSC allocates the radio resources to the MS according the ARP and THP of the QoS. The higher-priority users enjoy more radio resources and higher radio bandwidth. The BSC maps the R97/R98 QoS to the R99 QoS according to the 3GPP specifications.
With this feature, the operator allocates the radio resources according to different service types and user priorities. As a result, the user with higher priority can seize more bandwidth and enjoy higher data rate and better quality of service. Interactive services: The BSS allocates the radio resources according to the ARP and THP of the QoS. If the ARPs of the users are the same, the users with higher THP are allocated more radio resources. If the THPs of the users are the same, the users with higher ARP are allocated more radio resources. Background services: The BSS allocates the radio resources according to the ARP of the QoS. The users with higher ARP can be allocated more radio resources. For the services that do not support the QoS, the BSS allocates the radio resources according to the BEST EFFORT.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSOTHERPARA. In this step, set Support QoS Optimize to YES(Support). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSCHM. In this step, set the values of THP1ARP1PRIWEIGHT, THP1ARP2PRIWEIGHT, THP1ARP3PRIWEIGHT, THP2ARP1PRIWEIGHT, THP2ARP2PRIWEIGHT, THP2ARP3PRIWEIGHT, THP3ARP1PRIWEIGHT, THP3ARP2PRIWEIGHT, THP3ARP3PRIWEIGHT, BKGARP1PRIWEIGHT, BKGARP2PRIWEIGHT, BKGARP3PRIWEIGHT, BEARP1PRIWEIGHT, BEARP2PRIWEIGHT, and BEARP3PRIWEIGHT according to the bandwidth occupied by the users with different priorities. Use the MSs whose registration types are interactive or background to perform PS services. The MSs share the same channel group. The expected result: When the same coding scheme is used, the ratio of the transmission rate of the MSs is similar to the ratio of the weight of THP or ARP. l Deactivation Procedure 1. ----End Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSOTHERPARA.

Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware Embedded PCU should be used, the Packet Process board and Gb interface board is required. l l l Dependency on Other Features None License The license is activated. Other Prerequisites GPRS/EGPRS is already configured for the cell.
Context
Active queue management (AQM) is an algorithm used to maintain the buffer queue length within an appropriate range by discarding data packets in the buffer queue actively. It increases data throughput and reduces service delay at the price of buffer utilization. AQM is applicable to scenarios in which bandwidth is limited and congestion may occur. AQM not only ensures high link utilization but also reduces the delay of services that require low transfer delay. It also enhances fair utilization of bandwidth among services and increases data throughput. AQM is applicable to interactive services, background services, and BE services (namely, services without QoS requirements). It is not applicable to conversational services or streaming services.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCPSSOFTPARA. In this step, set AQM Switch to OPEN(Open). Set AQM Congestion Threshold, AQM Target Threshold, AQM Maximum Threshold, AQM Packet Discard Initial Interval, AQM Packet Discard Interval Lower Threshold, AQM Packet Discard Interval Upper Threshold, and AQM N Update Interval according to actual network conditions. It is advised that these values be set to recommended values. Use an MS to download a large-sized file (about 2 MB) through FTP. After the download is started, use the MS to download a small-sized file (about 200 KB) through FTP. View the result of downloading the small-sized file.

Use the MS to originate GPRS services, and monitor the signaling over the Um interface. Ensure that the MS is in the serving cell. Move the MS or increase the power of the target cell to make the receive level of the target cell higher than that of the serving cell. Perform the operations in Tracing PS Domain Messages on the Um Interface. After detecting signal strength deterioration in the serving cell and an external neighboring cell with better signal strength, the MS sends the PACKET CELL CHANGE NOTIFICATION message to the BSC. Then, the BSC responds with the PACKET NEIGHBOUR CELL DATA message, which contains the SI1, SI3, and SI13 system information about the target cell. In addition, the BSC sends the PACKET CELL CHANGE CONTINUE message to the MS, instructing the MS to proceed with the cell reselection procedure.
Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLGPRS. In this step, set Support NACC to NO(No) and ACKET SI to NO(No). The expected result: Support NACC is NO(No), PACKET SI is NO(No). The cell does not support NACC and PACKET SI STATUS.

Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware Built-in PCU should be used, the Packet Processing board and Gb interface board are required. l Dependency on Other Features The configurations of the features on which this feature depends are complete. This feature depends on the feature: GBFD-114201 EGPRS. l l License The license is activated. Other Prerequisites This feature should be supported by the MS.
Context
The extended uplink TBF can shorten the transmission delay and reduce the MS power consumption. The 11-bit EGPRS access on the CCCH can improve the access performance of the EDGE MS. The BTS takes over the packet and immediate assignments. This can improve the access performance of the MS and shorten the access delay. For PCU commands, see the Manual of Commands related to the PCU.
NOTE
l In external PCU mode, the PCU supports the takeover of the immediate assignment by the BTS and the takeover of the packet assignment by the BTS by default. l In external PCU mode, if you need to disable the takeover of the immediate assignment by the BTS, run the pcu cfgpara add<BoardNo> g_bCellSptImmAssDlShift 4 0 command. If you need to disable the takeover of the packet assignment by the BTS, run the pcu cfgpara add<BoardNo> g_bCellSptPackAssDlShift 4 0 command. After running the command, you should reset the cell.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Configure the extended uplink TBF. In external PCU mode, run the PCU add privateoptpara command on the PCU maintenance terminal to set the duration of the inactive period timer to a value greater than 0. In built-in PCU mode, run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPRIVATEOPTPARA on the LMT. In this step, set Inactive Period of Extended Uplink TBF to a value greater than 0.
NOTE
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSBASE. In this step, set EXT_UTBF_NODATA to NOTSEND to reduce the MS power consumption.
2.
Configure the 11-bit EGPRS access on the CCCH. In external PCU mode, run the PCU ADD EGPRSPara command on the PCU maintenance terminal to configure the EGPRS access of 11-bit messages on the CCCH for the cell.
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)

In built-in PCU mode, run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSBASE on the LMT. In this step, set Support 11BIT EGPRS Access to YES(Yes). 3. Configure the takeover of the immediate assignment by the BTS. In external PCU mode, run the PCU CfgPara ADD allrppu g_bCellSptImmAssDlShift 4 1 command on the PCU maintenance terminal to configure the takeover of the immediate assignment by the BTS. After running the command, you should reset the cell. In built-in PCU mode, run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSOTHERPARA on the LMT. In this step, set Move Immediate Assignment Down to BTS to YES(Yes). 4. Configure the takeover of the packet assignment by the BTS. In external PCU mode, run the PCU CfgPara ADD allrppu g_bCellSptPackAssDlShift 4 1 command on the PCU maintenance terminal to configure the takeover of the packet assignment by the BTS. After running the command, you should reset the cell. In built-in PCU mode, run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSOTHERPARA on the LMT. In this step, set Move Packet Assignment Down to BTS to YES(Yes). l Verification Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GCELLPRIVATEOPTPARA to check whether Inactive Period of Extended Uplink TBF is greater than 0. Use the MS to perform PS services. After transmitting the uplink data to the BSC, the MS does not release the uplink TBF immediately. Instead, it releases the uplink TBF after the duration equal to Inactive Period of Extended Uplink TBF. Use the MS that supports 11-bit EGPRS to perform PS services. The TBF is set up after the BSC receives the phase-one channel request of the 11-bit EGPRS. Use the MS to make a dial-up connection to the network and then to perform the ping function. Enabling Move Immediate Assignment Down to BTS can reduce the first ping delay by 30 to 50 ms, which depends on the transmission over the Abis interface. Use the MS to make a dial-up connection to the network and then to perform the ping function. Enabling Move Packet Assignment Down to BTS can reduce the ping delay by 30 to 50 ms, which depends on the transmission over the Abis interface. Deactivate the extended uplink TBF. In external PCU mode, run the PCU set privateoptpara command on the PCU maintenance terminal to set the duration of the inactive period timer to 0. In built-in PCU mode, run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPRIVATEOPTPARA on the LMT. In this step, set Inactive Period of Extended Uplink TBF to 0. 2. Deactivate the 11-bit EGPRS access on the CCCH. In external PCU mode, run the PCU set egprspara command on the PCU maintenance terminal to configure the cell not to support the function of 11-bit EGPRS access on the CCCH. In built-in PCU mode, run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSBASE on the LMT. In this step, set Support 11BIT EGPRS Access to NO(No).

7.123 Configuring Dynamically Adjusting the Uplink MCS Coding

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-119204 Dynamically Adjusting the Uplink MCS Coding.
Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware Built-in PCU should be used, the Packet Processing board and Gb interface board are required. l l l Dependency on Other Features None License The license is activated. Other Prerequisites The cell is configured with EGPRS, and the uplink coding scheme of the cell can be changed.
Context
With this feature, the BSC dynamically adjusts the coding scheme adopted by the PDCH based on the uplink measurement report from the BTS. In this manner, the PDCH coding scheme can quickly adapt to the changes in the radio condition and thus the uplink throughput is increased.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLEGPRSPARA. In this step, set Support EGPRS Uplink MCS Dynamic Adjust to 2(According to uplink quality measurements reported by BTS). Route downlink BTS signals to the shielding cabinet. After combining the uplink signals and interference source signals, route the combined signals to the receive end of the TRX. Set the interference source frequency to the uplink frequency of the TRX, set the transmit power, and then put the MS in the shielding cabinet. Use the MS to load files through FTP. Initiate the PS domain message tracing over the Um interface on the BSC6900 LMT by referring to Tracing PS Domain Messages on the Um Interface. Trace the result of uplink MCS coding adjustment.
Verification Procedure 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
7-242
The expected result: When the interference source power increases, the rate of uplink EGPRS coding scheme decreases.
NOTE
The interference source power cannot be too great. Otherwise, the PS services may fail.
Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLEGPRSPARA. In this step, set Support EGPRS Uplink MCS Dynamic Adjust to 1(According to downlink quality measurements reported by MS)
----End
Example
//Activating Dynamically Adjusting the Uplink MCS Coding SET GCELLEGPRSPARA: IDTYPE=BYID, CELLID=0, ADJUSTULMCSTYPE=2; //Deactivating Dynamically Adjusting the Uplink MCS Coding SET GCELLEGPRSPARA: IDTYPE=BYID, CELLID=0, ADJUSTULMCSTYPE=1;
7.124 Configuring Packet Channel Dispatching

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-119302 Packet Channel Dispatching.
Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware Built-in PCU should be used, the Packet Processing board and Gb interface board are required. l Dependency on Other Features The configurations of the features on which this feature depends are complete. This feature depends on the feature: GBFD-114201 EGPRS. l l License The license is activated. Other Prerequisites The PCU type is set to built-in PCU. The cell supports the EGPRS service. An MS (GSM MS) that supports only voice service is available. An MS (GPRS MS) that supports only GPRS service is available.
Context
l The GPRS system uses only the GMSK modulation scheme whereas the EGPRS system uses the GMSK and 8PSK modulation schemes. When EGPRS downlink services and GPRS uplink services use the same packet channel, the EGPRS downlink data blocks with the USF should be used to schedule the GPRS uplink services. In this case, the EGPRS downlink data blocks can use only the GMSK modulation scheme. This greatly affects the downlink throughput of the EGPRS MS. With this feature, the operator can separate the EGPRS service from the GPRS service, thus effectively increasing the downlink throughput of the EGPRS MS.
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
This feature reduces the probability that the EGPRS service and the GPRS service use the same channel, thus increasing the EGPRS service rate, improving the entire network performance, and enhancing the user experience.

In this step, set GPRS to SupportAsInnPcu (Support as built-in PCU) and EDGE to YES(Yes) to enable the EGPRS function. Run the SET GTRXCHANADMSTAT command. In this step, set TRX ID, Channel No., and Administrative State. The expected result: The values of all Administrative State for all the TCHs on the BCCH TRX are Lock(Lock). 4. Run the SET GTRXCHAN command. In this step, set Channel Type and PDCH Channel Priority Type. The expected result: The values of Channel Type are TCHFR(TCH Full Rate). PDCH Channel Priority Type of four channels is EGPRSPRICH(EGPRS Priority Channel) and PDCH Channel Priority Type of the other four channels is GPRS (GPRS Channel). l Verification Procedure
NOTE
The GPRS MS1 (class10), MS2 (class10), and EGPRS MS1 (class10) are attached to the GPRS cell.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Record the process of configuring devices. EGPRS MS1 activates PDP and starts DL FTP. GPRS MS1 activates PDP and starts DL FTP. GPRS MS2 activates PDP and starts DL FTP. EGPRS MS1 stops DL FTP and releases PDCH. EGPRS MS1 starts DL FTP again after a period of time. Use a drive test tool to record the channels used by the MSs.
The expected result: After EGPRS MS1 activates PDP for the first time, it starts DL FTP and uses the EGPRS preferred channel. After GPRS MS2 starts DL FTP, it shares packet channels with GPRS MS1. The system does notallocate the EGPRS preferred channel to GPRS MS2.
After EGPRS MS1 stops DL FTP and releases PDCH, GPRS MS2 or GPRS MS1 is swiched to the correct channel instead of sharing the PDCH with GPRS MS1. The correct channel is the EGPRS preferred channel used by EGPRS MS1. After EGPRS MS1 starts DL FTP again, GPRS MS2 or GPRS MS1 is switched out of the EGPRS preferred channel and then shares the PDCH with GPRS MS1 or GPRS MS2. The EGPRS preferred channel is allocated to EGPRS MS1 again, and EGPRS MS1 starts DL FTP on the EGPRS preferred channel. l Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the SET GTRXCHAN command. In this step, set TRX ID to the index of the EGPRS-capable TRX, Channel Type to TCHFR(TCH Full Rate), and PDCH Channel Priority Type to any value except EGPRSPRICH(EGPRS Priority Channel).

7.127 Configuring PS Power Control

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-119504 PS Power Control.
Prerequisite
l l Dependencies on Hardware None Dependencies on Other Features The configurations of the features on which this feature depends are complete. This feature depends on the optional feature GBFD-114101 GPRS. This feature cannot be enabled together with the feature GBFD-118104 Enhanced EDGE Coverage. l License The license is activated.
Context
l l l Only PS downlink power control needs to be activated. Activating PS power control enables the transmit power of the TRX to be controlled. In situations that a good link quality can be obtained without the need of maximum transmit power, PS power control helps to reduce the transmit power, thus reducing the entire network interference and increasing the system capacity.
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSPWPARA to activate the PS power control. Set Support PS Downlink Power Control to YES(Yes). Then, set the following parameters according to the network plan: Code Scheme Statistics Threshold Code Scheme Stable Threshold P0 Target CIR Position Target CIR Offset Max Power Control Fall Step Power Control Precision l Verification Procedure 1. 2. 3. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLEGPRSPARA. In this step, set Uplink Fixed MCS Type and Downlink Fixed MCS Type to MCS9(MCS9). Use an MS that camps on the serving cell to perform GPRS services. Trace the signaling over the Um interface on the BSC6900 LMT by referring to Tracing PS Domain Messages on the Um Interface. The information elements P0 and PR_MODE are carried in the messages PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT, IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT, PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT, DTM ASSIGNMENT COMMAND, and PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIG.
NOTE
Take the message PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT as an example. The value of is-p0 is 1, and p0 and pr-mode are carried in the message. (When PS power control is not activated, the value of is-p0 is 0.)
Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSPWPARA. In this step, set Support PS Downlink Power Control to NO(No).

7.128 Configuring PDCH Dynamic Adjustment with Two Thresholds

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-119505 PDCH Dynamic Adjustment with Two Thresholds.
Prerequisite
l l l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features None License The license is activated. Other Prerequisites The cell supports the GPRS and EDGE. The cell is configured with dynamic TCHFs.
Context
With this feature, the conversion between PDCH and TCH can be dynamically performed according to the traffic load in the cell. This feature effectively increases the channel usage, reduces the possibility of CS services preempting the radio resources of PS services, and thus improves the CS access performance and PS retainability performance.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSCHM to set Uplink Multiplex Threshold of Dynamic Channel Conversion, Downlink Multiplex Threshold of Dynamic Channel Conversion, Upper Threshold for CS Idle Channel Rate, and Lower Threshold for CS Idle Channel Rate. The value of Upper Threshold for CS Idle Channel Rate must be smaller than 100. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSOTHPARA to set PS Service Guaranteed Rate. Enable the MS to camp on the serving cell to process PS services. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP PDCH to specify Cell Index of the serving cell and query the number of PDCHs occupied by the MS and the number of TBFs on the PDCHs. Enable another MS to access the serving cell to process PS services. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP PDCH to specify Cell Index of the serving cell and query the number of PDCHs occupied by this MS and the number of TBFs on the PDCHs. Comparing with the preceding query result, you can infer that the two MSs occupy different PDCHs. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSCHM to set Upper Threshold for CS Idle Channel Rate to 100.

7.129 Configuring EDA

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-119401 Extended Dynamic Allocation (EDA).
Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware Built-in PCU should be used, the Packet Processing board and Gb interface board are required. l l l Dependency on Other Features None License The license is activated. Other Prerequisites The cell is configured to support GPRS/EGPRS. This feature is supported by MS.
Context
Generally, the GPRS/EGPRS traffic is higher in downlink than in uplink. In some specific situations (for example, sending large size email through the GPRS/EGPRS network), however, the requirement on uplink bandwidth is stricter. The EDA feature can allocate three or more timeslots for an MS in the uplink. If the high multislot class is supported, five timeslots can be allocated to the MS of high multislot class 34 in the uplink, thus meeting the requirement for higher bandwidth in the uplink. The use of the EDA feature needs the support from the MS. In the radio access capability reported to the network, the MS indicates whether it supports GPRS uplink EDA or EGRPS uplink EDA.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. l Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCPSSOFTPARA. In this step, set Support EDA to SUPPORT(Support). Start the Gb Interface PTP Trace window on the LMT and use the MS to dial a number (activate PDP context). The expected result: Check in the ACTIVE PDP CONTEXT ACCEPT message that the value of gprs-extended-dynamic-allocation-capability is 1or the value of egprsextended-dynamic-alloccation is 1.

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-116001 Resource Reservation.
Prerequisite
Context
With the resource reservation feature, the system reserves a certain number of TCHFs for highpriority users to ensure their QoS. l l Channel resources are reserved for high-priority users, thus ensuring the QoS of the VIP users and improving user experience. Resource reservation provides a segmentation function for operators. Using this function, operators can provide different levels of services for users with different priorities. In this way, the operation revenue is increased.
This feature can be used together with the feature GBFD-115001 Enhanced Multi Level Precedence and Preemption (eMLPP) to better guarantee the benefits of users and improve the user satisfaction.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCHMGBASIC. In this step, set Grade Access Allow to YES(Yes), and set Highest Priority and Reserved Channel Number to proper values. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCHMGBASIC. In this step, set Highest Priority to 7 and Reserved Channel Number to 1. Block the TCHs in cell 0 and reserve only one idle TCH. Start Trace BSSAP Message on the A Interface of cell 0 on the LMT. Use MS 1 to make a common call in cell 0. Then, check the priority delivered by the CN in the assignment request. The expected result: If the priority is greater than 7, the call fails. Otherwise, the call can be established and a TCHF is assigned during the assignment procedure. 5. Use MS 1 to make an emergency call in cell 0. Then, check the priority delivered by the CN in the assignment request.

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-118103 Network Support SAIC.
Prerequisite
l l l Dependency on Hardware The MS supports SAIC. Dependency on Other Features None Dependency on License The license for this feature is activated.
Context
Single Antenna Interference Cancellation (SAIC) is a technique that restraints both intrafrequency and inter-frequency interference when the MS receives signals through a single antenna. SAIC aims to minimize the impact of interference on the receive quality of downlink signals through signaling processing.
The MS that supports SAIC has a greater capability of bearing interference than the MS that does not. Therefore, the strategy of power control can be adjusted if the MS supports SAIC, to reduce the transmit power of the BTS and thus to reduce interference in the entire network.

7.153 Configuring PICO/Compact BTS Automatic Configuration and Planning

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional features GBFD-510601 PICO Automatic Configuration and Planning and GBFD-510701 Compact BTS Automatic Configuration and Planning.
Prerequisite
l l l l Dependency on Hardware This feature is supported by only the BTS3900B and BTS3900E. Dependency on Other Features None License The license of this feature is activated. Other Prerequisites The initial parameters required for BTS automatic planning algorithm are set in online mode through the M2000 client.
Context
l The compact BTS refers to the BTS3900E. If the feature is applied to the BTS3900E, a maximum of two carriers can be configured and the cells of the BTS3900E are configured in O2 mode. The PICO refers to the BTS3900B. After being installed and powered on, the BTS3900B and BTS3900E can connect with the BSC automatically with the network automatic detection feature. Operators do not need to configure radio parameters for cells. The M2000 obtains radio parameters based on frequency bands and scanning results of the uplink and downlink level of surrounding frequencies reported from the BTS, and then performs the automatic configuration and planning of the BTS39000B and BTS3900E. This feature can be applied in newly deployed or swapped sites. By using this feature, site deployment duration is decreased and operator intervention is reduced. As a result, OM costs are reduced. Before the automatic planning, the following parameters used for the planning algorithm must be configured in advance on the M2000 client: operator frequency data, BTS adjacency information, BSIC data, and CGI resource data. You can view the progress and result of the BTS GSM automatic planning and perform data analysis and fault location on the M2000 client. For details, see the M2000 Operator Guide. If the version of the BSC is V900R012 or later vesions, the BSC supports the automatic configuration and automatic planning of 128 BTS3900Es or BTS3900Bs in parallel mode, and the M2000 supports the automatic configuration and automatic planning of 512 BTS3900Es or BTS3900Bs in parallel mode.

7.155 Configuring PICO Dual-band Auto-planning

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-510603 PICO Dual-band Auto-planning.
Prerequisite
l l l l Dependency on Hardware This feature is supported by only the BTS3900B. Dependency on Other Features None License The license of this feature is activated. Other Prerequisites The M2000 supports the PICO Dual-band Auto-planning feature.
Context
l l The PICO Dual-band Auto-planning feature is license-controlled. The Pico is also called the BTS3900B. Pico auto-planning indicates that the BTS3900B scans the uplink and downlink frequencies of operators according to the frequency band capability of the BTS3900B. The M2000 evaluates the interference condition of each frequency according to the scanning result. In addition, considering the neighboring relationship of the BTS3900B, the M2000 selects the frequency with the minimum interference as the frequency of the BTS3900B. PICO Dual-band Auto-planning supports the 900 MHz/1800 MHz and 850 MHz/1900 MHz dual-band scenarios on the basis of the original single-band auto-planning function. PICO auto-planning helps operators to implement fast network deployment and flexible network adjustment and reduce the workload of manual configuration. Before the auto-planning, the following parameters used for the planning algorithm should be set in advance on the M2000 client: operator frequency data, BTS neighboring relations, BSIC data, and CGI resource data. You can view the progress and result of the BTS3900B GSM auto-planning and perform data analysis and fault location on the M2000 client. For details, see the M2000 Operator Guide. The auto-planning function is mostly used in the site setup scenario. During the execution of the auto-planning function, the services within the network coverage of the BTS3900B are disrupted.
Procedure
l Activation procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSAUTOPLAN to add the auto-planning BTS3900B, and set Is Support SingleRAN Mode to SUPPORT(Support). The added BTS3900B is enabled with the auto-planning function by default. In addition, the auto-planning algorithm switch and auto-optimization algorithm switch are set to ON, and the Frequency Band Adaptation Allowed switch is set to NO(NO) by default. You can run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSAUTOPLANCFG to modify the status of the switches.

The frequency bands and site types of the frequencies planned by the BTS3900B, however, vary with the status of the Frequency Band Adaptation Allowed switch. a. Frequency Band Adaptation Allowed is set to YES(YES): The M2000 selects the frequency with the minimum interference as the working frequency according to the reported scanning results of the two frequencies. The frequency band where the frequency exists is the working frequency band of the BTS3900B. The M2000 plans the BTS3900B as the O1 site in corresponding frequency bands b. Frequency Band Adaptation Allowed is set to NO(NO): The M2000 plans the BTS3900B as the O2 site in dual-band. The M2000 selects the BCCH frequencies in low frequency bands (such as 900 MHz or 850 MHz) and selects the TCH frequencies in low frequency bands or high frequency bands.

7.158 Configuring PICO Automatic Optimization

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-510607 PICO Automatic Optimization.
Prerequisite
l l l l Dependency on Hardware None Dependency on Other Features None License The license of this feature is activated. Other The M2000 supports the PICO Automatic Optimization feature.
Context
l l The PICO Automatic Optimization feature is license-controlled. The Pico is also called the BTS3900B. During the operation of the BTS3900B, the automatic optimization task is created on the M2000 and the BTS3900Bs to be optimized and the counter thresholds are specified. When the working frequencies are severely interfered, the M2000 triggers the BTS3900B to restart the uplink and downlink frequency scan. In addition, the M2000 selects the working frequency with the minimum interference for the BTS3900B through the automatic optimization algorithm. Through automatic optimization of working frequencies, the BTS3900B can shield itself from the frequencies that are severely interfered. In this case, the communication quality within the coverage of the BTS3900B and the KPIs are improved significantly. In addition, the handover success rate of the MS in the coverage of the BTS3900B is increased and the call drop rate is reduced. The progress and result of the PICO Automatic Optimization feature can be viewed on the M2000 client for data analysis and fault location. For details, see the M2000 Operator Guide.

7.160 Configuring Compact BTS Automatic Neighbor Cell Planning and Optimization
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-510704 Compact BTS Automatic Neighbor Cell Planning and Optimization.
Prerequisite
l l l l Dependency on Hardware This feature is supported by only the BTS3900E. Dependency on Other Features None License The license of this feature is activated. Other Prerequisites The scanning frequency set and neighbor cell list are configured on the M2000 in advance. The parameters related to automatic optimization are set on the M2000 in advance.
Context
l The Compact BTS Automatic Neighbor Cell Planning and Optimization feature is licensecontrolled.
7-300
l l
The compact BTS refers to BTS3900E. Automatic Neighbor Cell Planning The automatic neighboring cell planning feature is mostly applied in the site deployment scenario. The automatic neighboring cell planning feature indicates that the M2000 triggers the BTS3900E to perform downlink frequency scan. The BTS3900E reports the information about the neighboring cells to the M2000. Then, the M2000 configures the scanned cells as the neighboring cells of the BTS3900E. In addition, the M2000 adds the cells of the BTS3900E in the scanned cells to the neighboring cell list to set up the bidirectional neighboring relation. If the scanned cells are beyond the serving area of the M2000, the M2000 can set up only the unidirectional neighboring relation and prompt users to manually configure neighboring cells.
Automatic Neighbor Cell Optimization The automatic neighbor cell optimization feature is used during the operation of the BTS. During the operation of the BTS3900E, the automatic optimization task is created on the M2000. With this feature, the M2000 determines that redundant neighboring cells exist in the BTS3900E or certain neighboring cells are missed according to the analysis of the measurement reports. Then, the M2000 triggers the neighbor cell optimization process automatically and updates the neighboring relation.
The Automatic Neighbor Cell Planning and Optimization feature can improve network quality, increase handover success rate, and reduce call drop rate automatically, thus reducing the workload of manual configuration and improving OM efficiency. The progress and result of the automatic planning and optimization can be viewed on the M2000 client for data analysis and fault location. For details, see the M2000 Operator Guide.
Procedure
l Procedure for activating Automatic Neighbor Cell Planning 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSAUTOPLAN to add the BTS3900E in auto-planning mode. The added BTS3900E is enabled with the auto-planning function by default. In addition, the related auto-planning algorithm switch and autooptimization algorithm switch supported by the BTS3900E are set to ON. You can run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSAUTOPLANCFG to modify the status of the switches.
NOTE
l The added BTS3900E that is in auto-planning mode will enable the auto-planning function automatically when it is powered on for the first time. If the first auto-planning scan succeeds, the BTS3900E does not enable the auto-planning function automatically during the subsequent powering-off and resetting operations. If the auto-planning function needs to be enabled again, run the BSC6900 MML command RST AUTOPLAN. l To enable this feature on a BTS that is configured as a common BTS on the BSC6900, run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSAUTOPLANCFG, and set BTS Configuration Mode to AUTO. Then, set Neighbor Cell Plan Switch to ON. Then, run the RST AUTOPLAN command to plan the site data automatically.

7.165 Configuring HUAWEI II Handover

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-510501 HUAWEI II Handover.
Prerequisite
l l
Dependency on Other Features None License The license is activated.
Context
Huawei II handover algorithm will traverse all the handover types in the handover decisionmaking phase. In the process of traversing the handover types, Huawei II handover algorithm does not execute a handover immediately but creates a candidate target cell list when the triggering conditions of the handover are met, compared with the common handover algorithm. After all the handover types are traversed, the intersection of the candidate cell lists that meet the handover triggering conditions is selected as the final target cell list. Huawei II handover algorithm, which is different from a common handover algorithm, considers comprehensively all handover decision-making results so that the final handover decision-making result is more accurate. Huawei II handover algorithm is classified into emergency handover, intra-cell handover, and inter-cell handover. l l l The emergency handover is classified into quick handover, bad quality handover, and TA handover. The intra-cell handover is classified into handover between TCHF and TCHH. The inter-cell handover is classified into interference handover, no downlink measurement report handover, enhanced dual-band network handover, edge handover, fast-moving micro cell handover, better cell handover, and SDCCH handover.
Issue 05 (2011-03-07)
7-309
CAUTION
l After quick handover, bad quality handover, and TA handover are successfully performed, penalty is applied on the old cell during the penalty time to prevent an immediate handover back to the old cell. l In Huawei II handover algorithm, the serving cell must not be selected as the target cell of bad quality handover. l During TA handover, if the TA Threshold of a co-sited neighboring cell is lower than or equal to the TA Threshold of the serving cell, a handover to the neighboring cell is prohibited. l An interference handover can be an intra-cell handover. However, when intra-cell handover is triggered several times continuously, it will be forbidden within a specified duration. In Huawei II handover algorithm, only the serving cell can be selected as the target cell of interference handover. l On the enhanced dual-band network, the MS should not be handed over to a cell in the same underlaid/overlaid cell group when the load handovers between the overlaid cell and the underlaid cell (specified by Load HO From UL Subcell to OL Subcell Allowed and Load HO of OL Subcell to UL Subcell Enabled) are allowed. This is to prevent a load handover of a normal cell from colliding with a load handover between the overlaid cell and the underlaid cell on the network. l PBGT handover toward a cell of the same group is not allowed once it is triggered between the enhanced dual-band network cells. l After the fast-moving micro cell handover is successful, the penalty is applied on all the neighboring micro cells. l Huawei II handover supports the quick handover, TA handover, bad quality handover, interference handover, no downlink measurement report handover, enhanced dual-band network handover, edge handover, fast-moving micro cell handover, better cell handover, handover between TCHF and TCHH, and SDCCH handover. l Load handover is not treated as an independent handover type for handover decision-making. The load handover decision is made in the network adjustment phase. The selection of a target cell should be processed by the better cell handover. That is, the load handover is triggered when the triggering conditions of load handover and better cell handover are met simultaneously. l Better cell handover is an optimization of inter-layer handover and PBGT handover in Huawei I handover algorithm. It is specific to Huawei II handover algorithm.

7.191 Configuring Multi-mode Dynamic Power Sharing (GSM)

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature MRFD-211801 Multi-mode Dynamic Power Sharing (GSM).
Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware Only the MRFU and the RRU3908 supports GSM and UMTS Dynamic Power Sharing at present. l Dependency on Other Features GSM and UMTS Dynamic Power Sharing is not supported in GSM dynamic transmit diversity. It is not recommended that GSM and UMTS Dynamic Power Sharing coexists with the baseband frequency hopping algorithm involving two power amplifiers. Their coexistence results in a certain level of performance loss. GSM and UMTS Dynamic Power Sharing under the MIMO is not considered.
Context
In the case of a 3900 series multi-mode base station, the GSM and UMTS TRXs can share one power amplifier. When there is unbalanced traffic in the GSM and the UMTS, the power can be used more efficiently in an effective way, namely, sharing the power amplifier. The overall network quality of the GSM and the UMTS is thus improved.
NOTE
l The feature may fail to recall the shared power in one second when the GSM services increase suddenly. As a result, internal GSM peak clipping occurs, which affects service quality. l Enabling the feature may cause the UMTS coverage to shrink and thus increase the drop rate. The problem can be addressed by handing over services in marginal coverage to a GSM/UMTS cell under the same coverage as the original UMTS. l The switch and other parameter configurations are performed only on the GSM side. The UMTS side requires no configuration.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSGUPWRSHRFP. In this step, set Board Parameter Configuration Enabled to YES(YES) and set the period for enabling GU power sharing. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSRXUBP. In this step, set RXU Board Type to MRRU(MRRU) or MRFU(MRFU), set GU Dynamic Power Sharing Switch to YES(YES) and set other parameters according to actual conditions. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST BTSGUPWRSHRFP and LST BTSRXUBP and check the returned message. If... Board Parameter Configuration Enabled is YES(YES). GU Dynamic Power Sharing Switch is YES(YES). l Deactivation Procedure 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSGUPWRSHRFP. In this step, set Board Parameter Configuration Enabled to NO(NO). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSRXUBP. In this step, set GU Dynamic Power Sharing Switch to NO(NO).
NOTE

Context
The feature requires a GSM and UMTS dual-mode base station to connect the FE port on the GTMU and one FE port on the WMPT together and to share transmission ports on the UMTS side and the transmission network, therefore sharing transmission resources.
NOTE
In the scenario of GSM and UMTS co-transmission, transmission resource sharing can be achieved by connecting FE, GE, or E1/T1 ports together. Connecting FE ports, however, is recommended.
Co-transmission modes can be IP over FE/GE and IP over E1/T1, as shown in Figure 7-13, Figure 7-14, and Figure 7-15. Figure 7-13 IP-over-FE GSM and UMTS co-transmission on base station side

Backplane-based co-transmission is classified into the following scenarios: l In the scenario of GTMU-based TDM timeslot cross connection co-transmission, E1/T1 timeslots on the UMTS side are transmistted to the GTMU through the backplane TOP channel on the WMPT. E1/T1 ports on the GTMU are connected to the transmission network. The TDM timeslot cross connection function enables GSM data and UMTS data to be multiplexed on the transmission network. Therefore, E1/T1 transmission resources are shared by the GSM and UMTS modes by timeslot, as shown in Figure 7-18. Figure 7-18 GTMU-based TDM timeslot cross connection co-transmission
In the scenario of GSM-UTRP-based TDM timeslot cross connection co-transmission, a UTRP is configured on the GSM side. Therefore, extra E1/T1 resources can be shared by the UMTS mode through the backplane TOP channel to extend E1/T1 transmission resources for the UMTS mode, as shown in Figure 7-19.
NOTE
l The number of E1/T1 on the BTS backplane is within the range of 16 through 19. E1/T1 numbers 16 through 19 on the BTS backplane correspond to E1/T1 numbers 0 through 3 on the NodeB backplane. Cross connection is not supported. For example, E1/T1 No. 16 on the BTS backplane only corresponds to E1/T1 No. 0 on the NodeB backplane. l E1 timeslot numbers configured on the BTS side must be consistent with those configured on the NodeB side.

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the feature GSM and UMTS Common Reference Clock.
Prerequisite
l Dependency on Hardware A GSM and UMTS dual-mode base station whose GSM and UMTS modes share the BBU supports this feature. If Global Positioning System (GPS) or Building Integrated Timing Supply System (BITS) clock signals are shared, the USCU must be configured on the BBU. l Dependency on Other Features GBFD-510401 BTS GPS Synchronization GBFD-118202 Synchronous Ethernet WRFD-050502 Synchronous Ethernet l License The license of this feature is activated.
Context
The feature GSM and UMTS common reference clock enables the GSM and UMTS modes to share the same clock source. Therefore, an external clock source must be configured for one mode while the other mode is configured to share the opposite mode's clock source. Scenarios of this feature are as follows: l Common GPS reference clock Common GPS reference clock on the GSM side (GSM USCU) Common GPS reference clock on the UMTS side (UMTS USCU) l Common BITS reference clock Common BITS reference clock on the GSM side (GSM USCU)
Common BITS reference clock on the UMTS side (UMTS USCU) l Common E1/T1 reference clock Common E1/T1 reference clock on the GSM side (GTMU) Common E1/T1 reference clock on the UMTS side (WMPT) Common E1/T1 reference clock on the UMTS side (UMTS UTRP) (non-typical scenario) l Common Ethernet reference clock Common Ethernet reference clock on the UMTS side (WMPT) Common Ethernet reference clock on the GSM side (GTMU) (non-typical scenario) Common E1/T1 reference clock on the UMTS side (UMTS UTRP) (non-typical scenario) l Common IP reference clock Common IP reference clock on the UMTS side (WMPT) Common IP reference clock on the GSM side (GTMU) (non-typical scenario) Common IP reference clock on the UMTS side (UMTS UTRP) (non-typical scenario)
NOTE
For non-typical scenarios, further descriptions are not provided.
Common GPS reference clock When a USCU and an external GPS clock are configured for a GSM and UMTS dual-mode base station, GPS clock signals are transmitted through a GPS clock interface. The GSM and UMTS modes obtain the GPS clock signals through a backplane clock channel, as shown in Figure 7-20. Figure 7-20 Common GPS reference clock
NOTE
As shown in Figure 7-20, only one USCU can be configured on either the GSM side or the UMTS side.
Common BITS reference clock

When a USCU and an external BITS clock are configured for a GSM and UMTS dual-mode base station, BITS clock signals are transmitted through a BITS clock interface. The GSM and UMTS modes obtain the BITS clock signals through a backplane clock channel, as shown in Figure 7-21. Figure 7-21 Common BITS reference clock
NOTE
As shown in Figure 7-21, only one USCU can be configured on either the GSM side or the UMTS side.
Common E1/T1 reference clock When a common E1/T1 reference clock is used on a GSM and UMTS dual-mode base station, clock signals can be obtained from the E1/T1 port on the side of one mode while the other mode is configured to share the opposite mode's clock source. Followings are examples of common E1/T1 reference clock on the GSM side (GTMU) and common E1/T1 reference clock on the UMTS side (WMPT), as shown in Figure 7-22 and Figure 7-23.

Common Ethernet reference clock When a common Ethernet reference clock is used on a GSM and UMTS dual-mode base station, one mode obtains Ethernet clock signals from the transmission network through a FE transmission link while the other mode is configured to share the opposite mode's clock source. Following is an example of common Ethernet reference clock on the UMTS side (WMPT), as shown in Figure 7-24. Figure 7-24 Common Ethernet reference clock on the UMTS side (WMPT)
Common IP reference clock When the IEEE1588 clock is used on a GSM and UMTS dual-mode base station, the common IP reference clock is shared by two modes. Only one mode needs to be configured with an IEEE1588 client, and then clock signals can be obtained from the IEEE1588 server by connecting a FE transmission link to the transmission network. The other mode should be configured to share the opposite mode's clock source. Following is an example of common IP reference clock on the UMTS side (WMPT), as shown in Figure 7-25.

Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSCLK to set the BTS clock. In this step, set Clock Type to SYNETH_CLK(SynEth Clock). 2. Configuration on the eNodeB side (1) Run the eNodeB MML command ADD PEERCLK to add a peer reference clock. (2) Run the eNodeB MML command SET CLKMODE to activate the peer reference clock. l Common synchronous Ethernet reference clock on the eNodeB side 1. Configuration on the eNodeB side (1) Run the eNodeB MML command ADD SYNCETH to add a synchronous Ethernet clock. (2) Run the eNodeB MML command SET CLKMODE to activate the synchronous Ethernet clock. 2. Configuration on the GBTS side Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSCLK to set the BTS clock. In this step, set Clock Type to PEER_CLK(Peer Clock). l Verification Procedure 1. Run the eNodeB MML command DSP CLKSTAT and the BSC6900 MML command LST BTSCLK. Check the results. If... The clock source information matches the configuration. The clock source information does not match the configuration. 2. Check the alarms. If... The Inter-System BBU Board Parameter Settings Conflict alarm is reported. Then... The clock settings conflict between the GBTS and eNodeB sides, and therefore the clock setting different from the configuration fails. Then... The configuration succeeds. The configuration fails.
