Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions
GBSSFeatures are classified into basic and optional features. Basic features are not licensecontrolled and therefore do not require license activation before use. Some optional features are license-controlled and therefore require license activation before use. If the Configuration Method column for a basic feature in the RAN basic feature list is None, enabling this feature does not involve any configurations. If the Configuration Method column for an optional feature in the RAN optional feature list is None, this feature is enabled once it is activated. Table 2-1 lists the GBSS basic features.

3 Overview of Configurations on the CME
Overview of Configurations on the CME
About This Chapter

This section provides an overview of the configuration on the CME. The CME is a configuration tool on GUIs assisting you to effectively configure the data about wireless NE features.

3.1 Introduction to Configuration Methods

This section describes how to configure the features of one or multiple NEs at a time by using the CME.
Introduction to Configuration Methods

The CME enables you to configure NE features in both single and batch modes. For details, see Table 3-1. Table 3-1 Introduction to configuration methods Config uratio n Metho d Single configu ration Characteristics
Configures parameters for only one object (for example, a base station or a cell) each time. The CME provides configuration expresses and device panels for various types of data to configure one object. l The CME displays a navigation tree in the left pane and a table in the right pane. The navigation tree shows managed objects (MOs) while the table shows the parameters of the MOs and parameter values. After selecting an MO in the navigation tree, you can configure its values in the table. l The device panel is displayed on a GUI, allowing you to directly configure data for devices such as cabinet, subrack, and board.
Batch modific ation center
Applies the configuration data about an object (for example, a base station or a cell) to other objects.
NOTE This method is applicable to scenarios where the parameters for multiple objects need to be configured the same.
For example, after setting the VAMOSSWITCH parameter for cell 1 to ON, you can use the batch modification function to set the VAMOSSWITCH parameters for other specified cells to ON at a time. By doing this, you do not need to configure the parameters for these cells one by one.
Introduction to Data Configuration Procedures

Before using the CME to configure features, you need to be familiar with basic operations on the CME. For details, see CME Guidelines in the M2000 Help. The procedures for using the CME to activate or deactivate features are as follows: 1. 2. Synchronize the data in the current data area with the data on the live network. Create a planned data area and copy the data in the current data area to the planned data area for configuration.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)

Configuring HUAWEI I Handover
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-110601 HUAWEI I Handover.
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not depend on the hardware. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. License This feature is not under license control. Other Prerequisites Neighboring 2G cells have been configured. For details, see Configuring the Radio Data.
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-based 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.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
82
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 A bad quality handover is an intra- or inter-cell handover. If Bad Quality Handover Optimization Allowed is set to YES(Yes), only an inter-cell bad quality handover can be initiated. 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 An interference handover is an intra- or inter-cell handover. If Interference Handover Optimization Allowed is set to YES(Yes), only an intra-cell interference handover can be initiated. 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-based 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 loadbased handover of a normal cell from colliding with a load-based 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-based handover, hierarchical handover, PBGT handover, AMR handover, better 3G cell handover, concentric cell handover, and tight BCCH handover.

Configuring Directed Retry
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-110607 Directed Retry.
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. This feature is not controlled by a license.
Context
Directed retry is a special type of handover. That is, during assignment, the BSC 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. The BSC does not initiate the directed retry procedure during high speed circuit switched data (HSCSD) assignment. This feature helps reduce call access failures due to TCH congestion in the serving cell, increasing the access success rate. It also helps evenly distribute traffic load between cells.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML commandSET GCELLBASICPARA (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Cell Attributes > Basic Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches).

Configuring Assignment and Immediate Assignment

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-110502 Assignment and Immediate Assignment.
Prerequisites
Context
Assignment and immediate assignment are two important procedures during call setup. Normal immediate and immediate assignment procedures do not require setting of any parameter. Parameter setting is required only in the immediate assignment of TCHs. The following section describes how to configure the function of immediate TCH assignment.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Cell Attributes > Basic Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set TCH Immediate Assignment to YES(Yes). When an MS camps on a cell and no MS is processing services in the cell, block the SDCCHs and disable the SDCCH dynamic adjustment function. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXCHANADMSTAT to block an SDCCH. In this step, set Channel No. to the number of the SDCCH and Administrative State to Lock(Lock). To block more SDCCHs, run the SET GTRXCHANADMSTAT command for each SDCCH you want to block.
10 Configuring Assignment and Immediate Assignment
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA to disable SDCCH dynamic adjustment. In this step, set SDCCH Dynamic Allocation Allowed to NO(No). 2. 3. Use the MS to initiate a call. Check the messages traced over the Abis interface. On the Abis interface message tracing window, the CHANNEL ACTIVATION message is traced. The field Channel Mode and Type indicates that a TCH, instead of an SDCCH, is assigned during immediate assignment. During assignment, the messages Mode Modify Request and Mode Modify Acknowledge are traced. After the verification, unblock the SDCCH and enable SDCCH dynamic adjustment immediately. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXCHANADMSTAT to unblock an SDCCH. In this step, set Channel No. to the number of the SDCCH and Administrative State to Unlock(Unlock). To unblock more SDCCHs, run the SET GTRXCHANADMSTAT command for each SDCCH you want to unblock. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA to enable SDCCH dynamic adjustment. In this step, set SDCCH Dynamic Allocation Allowed to YES(Yes). l Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Cell Attributes > Basic Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches).

Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. License This feature is not under license control. Other Prerequisites The MSC supports this feature.
Context
When an 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 Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Cell Attributes > Basic Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Call Reestablishment Forbidden to NO(No). Optional: Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLTMR (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Timer Attributes > Timer Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set TREESTABLISH to an appropriate 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, TRX1 is the BCCH TRX and TRX2 is the non-BCCH TRX. TRX2 requires an independent variable attenuator or a device that can dynamically adjust the uplink and downlink signals of TRX2. Use an MS to make a call on the test cell. Block all the TCHs on TRX1 so that the MS uses a TCH on TRX2. Then, unblock all the TCHs on TRX1. For details about how to block and unblock TCHs, see SET GTRXCHANADMSTAT Attenuate the signals of TRX2 sharply by using the variable attenuator or other devices, check the signaling traced on the A and Abis interfaces, and monitor the channel status of the test cell.

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-112501 TCH Re-assignment.
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. This feature is not under license control.
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 assigned to the MS.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > Call Control Basic Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). 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.
Reserve an idle TCH on the BCCH TRX and block other TCHs on the BCCH TRX.

12 Configuring TCH Re-assignment
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXCHANADMSTAT to block a TCH. In this step, set Channel No. to the number of the TCH to be blocked and Administrative State to Lock(Lock). 3. 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. Expected result: Initiate a call in the cell. In the first assignment, a TCH on the nonBCCH 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. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > Call Control Basic Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches).

Configuring Call-Based Flow Control
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-511003 Call-Based Flow Control.
Context
In cases of emergencies or disasters, a large number of fixed telephones or cell phones from external networks request to reach the emergency or disaster center. This causes considerable increase in the mobile terminated services and also causes heavy traffic in the system. This feature identifies mobile originated call (MOCs) and mobile terminated calls (MTCs) by different flags and protects either MOCs or MTCs from the effects of flow control. It also allows telecom operators to decide whether to discard signaling of MOCs or MTCs using flow control, thereby keeping the system load within a normal level.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCFCPARA (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > Software Parameter Configuration > Flow Control Parameters; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches). In this step, set MOC Access CPU Rate to be greater than MTC Access CPU Rate but less than Share in CPU Rate.
NOTE
When the value of MOC Access CPU Rate is greater than that of MTC Access CPU Rate, the call-based flow control is triggered, and flow control is preferentially implemented on MTCs.

Dependencies on Hardware The BTS must support this function. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. License This feature is not under license control.
Context
The function of pre-processing of measurement report enables the BTS to interpolate and filter measurement reports (MRs) and then report the results of the processed MRs to the BSC. In this manner, the BSC does not need to process the MRs, reducing the load of the BSC. The CPU load of the board for processing the signaling of the CS services is reduced, and the signaling on the Abis interface is decreased, therefore minimizing the risks of Abis transmission congestion.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOCTRL (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Handover Data > Handover Control Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) command to set MR.Preprocessing to BTS_Preprocessing and set Transfer Original MR, Transfer BTS/MS Power Class, and Sent Freq.of preprocessed MR as required.

License This feature is not under license control. Others This feature does not need to be configured when PCU is inner. This feature needs to be configured when PCU is outer. None.
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, some TCHs need to be converted to SDCCHs. When TCHs are not sufficient enough to meet 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. When SDCCHs are insufficient, channels are converted to SDCCHs in the following sequence: TCHs on the BCCH frequency band, TCHs not on the BCCH frequency band, and dynamic PDCHs.

Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not depend on the hardware. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. License This feature is not under license control. 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 hardware, such as the receiver. 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 (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Idle Mode > Idle Basic Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set CCCH Blocks Reserved for AGCH to 2 and MultiFrames in a Cycle on the Paging CH to 2_M_PERIOD(2 Multiframe Period).

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 Abis Cell Pack Page Command type over the Abis interface. If the IE cs-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 subchannel.

Configuring BTS Power Management
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-111601 BTS Power Management.
Context
BTS power management enables the BTS to allocate load dynamically based on the actual power situation, thereby prolonging the working time of the BTS. Power management is applicable to the following scenarios: l No mains supply Soft shutdown: The BTS automatically blocks all TCH TRXs except the BCCH TRX. Hard shutdown: When the battery capacity drops to a predefined threshold value, the BTS automatically shuts down all TRXs. l Unfavorable operating environment When the temperature inside a BTS cabinet exceeds a predefined threshold value, the BTS shuts down PAs for some TRXs. When critical faults occur on a TRX, for example, the VSWR value far exceeds the limit, the BTS shuts down the TRX.

Enhanced power control algorithm refers to HUAWEI II power control algorithm. Power control is a process in which the BSS controls MS or BTS transmit power. Without affecting the speech quality, power control reduces the interference in the entire network and decreases power consumption. Power control mainly applies to the network with tight frequency reuse, high traffic volume, or strong interference. In the GSM network, power control can be separately performed on the uplink and downlink. It can also be performed on each MS.

Configuring High Speed Signaling
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-115201 High Speed Signaling.
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features This feature is mutually exclusive to the feature GBFD-118602 A over IP or GBFD-118622 A IP over E1/T1.
l l
Dependency on License The license for this feature is activated. Other prerequisites The MSC supports high-speed signaling. TDM transmission is applied over the A interface. The EIUa/OIUa board is configured. The OPC and DPC are configured.
Context
This feature is characterized by: l High capacity The BSC is not limited by the capacity of a single signaling point when narrowband signaling is used. This feature not only meets the requirements for signaling link bandwidth of large capacity processing capability but also saves operators' signaling resources and simplifies network topology. l Flexible bandwidth configuration The high-speed signaling link bandwidth is N x 64 kbit/s. Where, N ranges from 1 to 31. Operators can flexibly configure the high-speed signaling link bandwidth based on the traffic volume to reduce the transmission cost. l
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
Short delay
High-speed signaling links carry signaling data using multiple timeslots. This reduces the transmission delay of signaling data over the A interface especially in off-peak hours, reducing the call setup duration. 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. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD AE1T1 (CME single configuration: A Configuration Express > TDM Transport > A Interface E1/T1; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add an E1/T1 on the A interface. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD MTP3LKS (CME single configuration: A Configuration Express > TDM Transport > MTP3 Signalling Link Set > MTP3 Signalling Link Set; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add an MTP3 signaling link set. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD MTP3LNK (CME single configuration: A Configuration Express > TDM Transport > MTP3 Signalling Link Set > MTP3 Signalling Link; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set DSP bear type to MTP2(MTP2) and Link rate type to 2M(2Mbit/s).

Configuring Guaranteed Emergency Call

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-110521 Guaranteed Emergency Call.
Prerequisites
l l l Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Others Prerequisites The MSC supports the TCH preemption function.
Context
The Guaranteed Emergency Call feature is introduced to increase the setup success rate of emergency calls to the greatest extent. Therefore, normal communications are ensured in disaster relief activities. This feature has the following characteristics: l l l Emergency calls are preferentially assigned full-rate TCHs (TCHFs) in the immediate assignment phase. The system reserves TCHFs for the MSs making emergency calls. The MSs making emergency calls preempt the channels occupied by low-priority calls.
Without this feature, the TCHs occupied by emergency calls can be preempted by high-priority calls. After this feature is enabled, emergency calls can preempt the TCHs that are occupied by other common calls and can be preempted when there is no idle TCH. Emergency calls, however, cannot preempt the TCHs occupied by other emergency calls.

Configuring the satellite transmission on the Pb interface

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-113904 Satellite Transmission over Pb Interface. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Prerequisites
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 longer 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 required for the RLC sending window to overflow is prolonged.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Configure satellite transmission on the Pb interface on the LMT. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD PBE1T1. In this step, set Transmission Mode to SATEL(Satellite Transmission).

NOTE
36 Configuring the satellite transmission on the Pb interface
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 automatically switches to the satellite transmission mode accordingly.
2.
Configure satellite transmission on the Pb interface through PCU LocalWS. Run the mt gcell deactive<LCNo> command to deactivate a cell. Run the pcu add sattrans<LCNo> yes command to configure satellite transmission for the cell. Run the mt gcell active <LCNo> command to activate the cell.
3. l
Optional: Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSBASE. In this step, set T3168 to 2000ms(2000ms), T3192 to 0ms(0ms), and BS_CV_MAX to 15. Run the mt gcell deactive<LCNo> command to deactivate the cell. Run the pcu add sattrans<LCNo> yes command to configure satellite transmission for the cell. Run the mt gcell active<LCNo> command to activate the cell. Run the mt gcell show stat<LCNo> command to verify that the state of the cell is UNBLOCK. Use the MS to perform PS services. PS services are normally performed. Disable satellite transmission on the Pb interface on the LMT. Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD PBE1T1. In this step, set Transmission Mode to TRRS(Terrestrial Transmission).
Verification Procedure 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
2.
Configure terrestrial transmission on the Pb interface through PCU LocalWS. Run the mt gcell deactive<LCNo> command to deactivate the cell. Run the pcu set sattrans<LCNo> no command to configure terrestrial transmission for the cell. Run the mt gcell active <LCNo> command to activate the cell.
3. ----End
Optional: Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSBASE. In this step, set T3168 to 500ms(500ms), T3192 to 500ms(500ms), and BS_CV_MAX to 10.

The transmission mode for the BTS is configured.
Context
l Type of PDCHs PDCHs are divided into the following types based on the type of services they carry: Static PDCHs: PDCHs that carry only PS services. Dynamic PDCHs: Initially speech TCHFs. TCHFs and PDCHs can be converted into each other dynamically. l
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
PDCH Dynamic Adjustment

Static PDCHs carry only PS services. Dynamic PDCHs are TCHFs when initially configured. They can be converted into PDCHs if there are insufficient PS resources. On the hand, PDCHs can be converted into TCHFs if there are insufficient CS resources. Therefore, PDCH dynamic adjustment enhances the utility of channel resources based on practical needs, reduces the complexity of configuring and maintaining PDCHs, and reduces the impact of improper PDCH configuration on service performance. l Data Preparation Table 37-1 Configuring a cell that supports PS services Parameter Name GPRS Parameter ID GPRS Parameter Setting If the operator requires that the cell supports only GPRS services, set this parameter to SupportAsInnPcu(Support as built-in PCU). If the operator requires that the cell supports both GPRS and EDGE services, set GPRS to SupportAsInnPcu(Support as built-in PCU), then set this parameter to YES(Yes). Data Source Internal planning

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.
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
Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. License This feature is not under license control.
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, 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
l Activation Procedure for a Common TMA 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSRXUBP to configure TMA data after setting Antenna Tributary 1 Flag, Antenna Tributary 1 Factor, Antenna Tributary 2 Flag, and Antenna Tributary 2 Factor.

Optional: To modify the attributes of a TMA device, run the BSC6900 MML command MOD BTSTMADEVICEDATA. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST BTSRXUBP to query the TMA-related parameters, including Antenna Tributary 1 Flag, Antenna Tributary 1 Factor, Antenna Tributary 2 Flag, and Antenna Tributary 2 Factor. On the BSC6900 LMT, click Trace. On the Trace Navigation Tree pane, navigate to Trace > GSM Services > Abis Interface CS Trace. On the Basic tab page of the displayed dialog box, select RSL under Trace Type. On the RSL tab page, select DCM(Measurement Report) under Message Type, select TRX under Filter Flag, and then specify the TRX ID. For the RRU or RFU board whose RF feeder is attached with the TMA, perform a dialing test to occupy the channel. Then, check the measured level reported by the BTS. Expected result: The Uplink RxLev specified in the Measurement Report message is normal. Run the BSC6900 MML command STR BTSALDSCAN to check whether the antenna devices are functioning. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP BTSTMA to query the information of a smart TMA. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSRXUBP to configure the TMA data. In this step: Set Antenna Tributary 1 Flag to NO(NO).

Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
Period to 12, Speech Channel Alarm Threshold to 10, Speech Channel Alarm Clearance Threshold to 6, One-Way Audio Log Type to LEV2_MUTETEST_LOG_REC and IP_MUTETEST_LOG_REC, and Force HO Upon Speech Problem to an appropriate value. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLSOFT (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Software Parameter and Reserved Parameter > Software Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Mute Detect Class1 Switch to ENABLE(ENABLE), Period of Mute Detect Class1 to 5, Exceptional Frame Threshold of Mute Detect Class1 to 25, Mute Detect Class2 Switch to ENABLE (ENABLE), Period of Mute Detect Class2 TRAU Frame to 2, and Period of Mute Detect Class2 to 4.
NOTE
If the proportion of bad frames to all speech frames exceeds the threshold specified in Exceptional Frame Threshold of Mute Detect Class1 in the measurement period specified in Period of Mute Detect Class1, one-way audio have occurred. Then the one-way audio detection class 2 starts. If no test speech frame is received in the measurement period specified in Period of Mute Detect Class2, the one-way audio is confirmed, and the BSC records a one-way audio occurrence. If the number of times of one-way audio occurrences exceeds the threshold specified in Speech Channel Alarm Threshold in the measurement period specified in One-Way Mute Alarm Reporting Period, the BSC reports the BSS Internal Voice Channel Alarm. If the number of times of one-way audio occurrences is smaller than the threshold specified in Speech Channel Alarm Clearance Threshold in the measurement period specified in One-Way Mute Alarm Reporting Period, the BSS Internal Voice Channel Alarm is cleared. If Force HO Upon Speech Problem is set to ON (On), the BSC hands over the calls to another cell to avoid voice faults when detecting one-way audio class 2.
Activation procedure for Crosstalk Detection 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCBASIC (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > Basic Attributes of BSC; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches). In this step, set One-Way Mute Alarm Reporting Period to 12, Speech Channel Alarm Threshold to 10, Speech Channel Alarm Clearance Threshold to 6, Force HO Upon Speech Problem to an appropriate value, and do not set Cross Call Detect Time Threshold to 255. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBTSSOFTPARA (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > BTS Cell Parameter > BTS Soft Parameters for Cell; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set BTS Crosstalk Detection to on.
NOTE
2.
TheBTS Crosstalk Detection is set on the BTS. The Cross Call Detect Time Threshold specifies the tolerance duration for crosstalk. If the duration of crosstalk exceeds the threshold specified in Cross Call Detect Time Threshold, the BSC records a crosstalk occurrence. If the number of times of crosstalk occurrences exceeds the threshold specified in Speech Channel Alarm Threshold in the measurement period specified in One-Way Mute Alarm Reporting Period, the BSC reports the BSS Internal Voice Channel Alarm. If the number of times of crosstalk occurrences is smaller than the threshold specified in Speech Channel Alarm Clearance Threshold in the measurement period specified in One-Way Mute Alarm Reporting Period, the BSS Internal Voice Channel Alarm is cleared. If Force HO Upon Speech Problem is set to ON(On), the BSC hands over the calls to another cell to avoid voice faults when detecting crosstalk.
Verification Procedure 1. When crosstalk or one-way audio occurs, view Dynamic Alarms. Expected result: The BSS Internal Voice Channel Alarm exists with Failure Type being Crosstalk or One-way Audio.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)

NOTE
If the number of times of actual crosstalk or one-way audio occurrences exceeds the threshold specified in Speech Channel Alarm Threshold, the LMT reports the BSS Internal Voice Channel Alarm.
Deactivation procedure for One-Way Audio Detection 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLSOFT (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Software Parameter and Reserved Parameter > Software Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Mute Detect Class1 Switch to DISABLE(DISABLE) and Mute Detect Class2 Switch to DISABLE(DISABLE). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCBASIC (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > Basic Attributes of BSC; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches). In this step, clear the LEV1_MUTETEST_LOG_REC check box under the parameter One-Way Audio Log Type. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCBASIC (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > Basic Attributes of BSC; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Cross Call Detect Time Threshold to 255. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBTSSOFTPARA (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > BTS Cell Parameter > BTS Soft Parameters for Cell; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set BTS Crosstalk Detection to OFF(OFF)

Configuring IP Performance Monitor
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-118607 IP Performance Monitor.
Dependencies on Other Features The feature GBFD-118601 Abis over IP has been configured before this feature is activated. License None Dependencies on Running Environment The GOUa/FG2a/GOUc/FG2c/GOUd/FG2d interface board is configured on the BSC side. The GTMU/GTMUb board is configured on the BTS side.
Requirements for Transmission Networking IP Over FE/GE is used over the Abis interface. Alternatively, IP over E1/T1 is used on the BTS side, E1/T1 is terminated on the intermediate router, and FE/GE interface is configured on the BSC side.
l l
Requirements for Other NEs and Third-Party Devices None Other Prerequisites None
Context
IP PM checks the performance of transmission between the BSC and a BTS in an IP network. By effectively monitoring the changes in QoS-related parameters, IP PM quickly checks the QoS of an IP bearer network over the Abis interface online. The check results serve as a basis for flow control and admission control.

CAUTION
l This feature cannot be simultaneously used with load sharing networking. Since R14, this feature can be used on the BSC when LAGs work in active/standby mode. l IP PM uses a Huawei proprietary protocol and requires support from both the BSC and BTS. l The BSC and BTS must use the same DSCP value for the same IP path. Otherwise, IP PM will not work. l The DSCP value must not be changed by any intermediate device between the BSC and BTS because the BSC and BTS summarize the calculation results of the three QoS parameters by DSCP value. If the DSCP value is changed, IP PM will not work. l When configuring an IP path on the BSC side, set Peer subnet mask to 255.255.255.255. Otherwise, IP PM cannot be activated.

46 Configuring Multi-mode BS Common CPRI Interface (GBTS)
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 therefore 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 (CME single configuration: BTS Device Panel > Right click GTMU Board > Configure SFP Switch Port; CME batch modification center: not supported) 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.
NOTE
The switching relation of the SFP ports is configured only on the GSM side.
Verification Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST BTSSFPMODE to query the configurations of the SFP ports. Run the BSC6900 MML command RMV BTSSFPMODE (CME single configuration: BTS Device Panel > Right click GTMU Board > Configure SFP Switch Port; CME batch modification center: not supported) to remove the SFP port switching relation.

49 Configuring Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC)

Configuring Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC)

The AEC helps reduce the acoustic echo caused by the terminal, improving 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, the 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. This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115602 Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC).

51 Configuring TFO
Context
TFO solves the problem of speech signal damage in repeated encoding and decoding by canceling one encoding and decoding process to improve the signal quality. If the WRFD-011600 TFO/TrFO feature is activated on the 3G network when this feature is enabled, the AMR feature must be supported by the 3G network to ensure that TFO is supported during a call between the 2G and 3G networks. To enable TFO for calls using the AMR speech version, the BSC version and BTS version must meet the mapping relationship in the following table. BSC Version GBSS8.1 GBSS8.1 GBSS9.0 and later GBSS9.0 and later BTS Version GBSS8.1 GBSS9.0 and later GBSS8.1 GBSS9.0 and later Support TFO for Calls Using AMR Support Not support Not support Support
To enable TFO for calls using the non-AMR speech version, there is no requirements for the mapping between the BSC version and BTS version.

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-116801 Voice Quality Index (VQI).
l l l
Others Prerequisites The cell is configured with neighboring cells. The BTS of the cell supports downlink VQI.
Context
The VQI establishes the mapping between radio network performance and voice quality. The VQI value, which helps learn the voice quality, is calculated based on the radio quality parameters for the uplink and downlink speech signals. The MOS analysis method is applied in VQI to measure the voice quality. The MOS is used to assess the quality of middle-rate and lowrate voice coding. The MOS value ranges from 1 to 5. Based on the MOS analysis method, Huawei further divides the voice quality into 11 levels. In this manner, the voice quality is quantified to facilitate voice problem identification and network optimization.

Configuring Um Interface Speech Frame Repairing

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115708 Um Interface Speech Frame Repairing.
Prerequisites
l Dependencies on Hardware The following types of RF modules support this feature: MRFU V2, GRFU V2, MRFUd, MRFUe, RRU3908 V2, RRU3008 V2, RRU3926, RRU3928, RRU3929, and RRU3922E. l l Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Context
Currently, the speech services using EFR and AMR-NB account for the largest proportion of speech services in live networks. When the bit error rate (BER) is high and the C/I is low, the channel decoding fail. As a result, the erroneous results of channel decoding will be discarded, which greatly degrades the voice quality. To solve the preceding problem, Huawei develops a technique based on the characteristics of EFR and AMR-NB speech frames to repair the erroneous speech frames over the Um interface. This technique increases the success rate of voice decoding, thus improving the voice quality under low C/I. This feature, applicable to only the uplink, repairs speech frames in the source and channel decoding of EFR and three types of AMR: 4.75 kbit/s, 7.40 kbit/s, and 12.2 kbit/s. Therefore, this feature improves the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) by 0.1 to 0.2 when the CIR is low.
Procedure

For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites The MS, BTS, and MSC support the AMR function.
Context
The adaptive multi rate (AMR) is a speech encoding and decoding algorithm, which can be adjusted between full-rate speech version 3 and half-rate speech version 3 specified by the protocol. With AMR, the BTS and the MS can evaluate the interference on the radio network according to the measurements such as receive level, receive quality, and carrier-to-interference (C/I) ratio, and then adjust the voice encoding rate accordingly. In this way, both the antiinterference capability of the radio communications system and the voice quality are improved.
NOTE
l The AMR HR supports the 7.95 kbit/s coding scheme only when Service Mode of the Abis interface is IP or HDLC in BM/TC combined or A over IP mode. l If a BTS supports AMR but its software version does not, then AMR cannot be configured. In this case, a BTS software version that supports AMR must be obtained.

Configuring WB AMR
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115507 WB AMR.
The BTS3006C, BTS3002E, BTS3012, and BTS3012AE do not support this feature when they use a non-optimized DTRU. This feature depends on the TrFO feature in A over IP mode. TrFO needs to be enabled on the MGW or MSC Server. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites The MS, MGW, and MSC server support this feature.
Context
l WB AMR is a coding scheme that can significantly improve speech quality. Using WB AMR, the sampling rate is increased to 16 kHz and the speech frequency range is extended to 0.05-7 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. 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. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCBASIC (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > Basic Attributes of BSC; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC

Parameters in Batches). In this step, set A Interface Tag, Um Interface Tag, and Abis Interface Tag to GSM_PHASE_2Plus. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCACCESS (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > Call Access Control Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) to set the access control parameters for the cell.
NOTE
Select the FULL_RATE_VER5(Full-rate VER 5) check box under the parameter Speech Version while retaining the default speech versions.
3.
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCAMR (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > Call Control AMR Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) to set the call control AMR parameters for 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.hyst2[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
When transmission quality over the Um interface is good, the value of the coding rate adjustment threshold should be relatively low. In this way, a rate can be easily increased to improve speech quality. If the value of the coding rate adjustment threshold is high, a low rate coding mode should be used to improve robustness over the Um interface. Reducing the coding rate hysteresis leads to frequent rate adjustments.
Verification Procedure 1. 2. Use two MSs supporting WB AMR to call each other. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP CALLRES to verify that the value of Channel Service Type is AMR_WB. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCACCESS (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > Call Access Control Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, clear the FULL_RATE_VER5(Full-rate VER 5) check box under the parameter Speech Version.

Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXDEV (CME single configuration: TRX Configuration Express > Site TRX Dev Property > Site TRX Dev Property; CME batch modification center: 3.22 Modifying GSM TRX Parameters in Batches) for each TRX you want to configure. In this step, set TCH Rate Adjust Allow of a TRX to YES(Yes). Run the BSC6900 MML commandSET GCELLCHMGAD (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Channel Management > Advanced Channel Management Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) to set the threshold for dynamic adjustment between TCHHs and TCHFs. For non-AMR calls in a common cell, set TCH Traffic Busy Threshold to an appropriate value based on the actual requirement. For non-AMR calls in a concentric cell whose Load of UL-OL Cells Rate Select Allowed is set to YES (Yes), set Tch Traffic Busy Overlay Threshold and Tch Traffic Busy Underlay Threshold to appropriate values. For AMR calls, set AMR TCH/H Prior Allowed to ON(On), and set other parameters as follows: For common cells, set AMR TCH/H Prior Cell Load Threshold to an appropriate value based on individual needs. For concentric cells, if Load of UL-OL Cells Rate Select Allowed and AMR Load Calculation Optimization are not set to YES(Yes) at the same time, set AMR TCH/H Prior Cell Load Threshold to an appropriate value based on individual needs. If Load of UL-OL Cells Rate Select Allowed and AMR

Load Calculation Optimization are set to YES(Yes) at the same time, set Threshold for OL Load with AMR HR Preferred for overlaid subcells and Threshold for UL Load with AMR HR Preferred for underlaid subcells to appropriate values. When the BSC preferentially assigns TCHHs, and TCHH Allocation Considering Signal Level is set to ON(On), the BSC performs a decision on the RX signal level in addition to the traffic volume. If the RX signal level is less than the value for Level Threshold for TCHH Allocation, TCHFs are preferentially assigned. If the RX signal level is greater than or equal to the value for Level Threshold for TCHH Allocation, TCHHs are preferentially assigned. l Verification Procedure Assume that non-AMR calls are performed in a common cell. Only the traffic volume, instead of the RX signal level, is considered in assignment of TCHHs. The verification procedure is as follows: 1. 2. Monitor channel status by referring to Monitoring Channel Status. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCHMGAD. In this step, set TCH Traffic Busy Threshold to 0 to ensure that new calls are preferentially assigned TCHHs. Use an MS to initiate a call in the cell. Expected result: The call is successfully initiated and the communication is normal. A TCHF is converted into two TCHHs and are occupied by MSs. 4. 5. 6. Terminate the call. Expected result: The TCHHs are not converted into a TCHF. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXCHANADMSTAT. In this step, set Administrative State to Lock(Lock) to block all TCHFs in the cell. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCHMGAD. In this step, set TCH Traffic Busy Threshold to 100 to ensure that new calls are preferentially assigned TCHFs.

Prerequisites
l Dependencies on Hardware
Configuring VAMOS
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115830 VAMOS.
Only the GRFU V1, GRFU V2, GRFU V2a, RRU3008 V1, RRU3008 V2, RRU3928, RRU3929, MRFUd, and MRFUe of 3900 series base stations support VAMOS. VAMOS-capable MSs are classified into Non-SAIC, SAIC, VAMOS level I, and VAMOS level II. At present, VAMOS level I and VAMOS level II MSs are not available for commercial use. l Dependencies on Other Features This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-117501 Enhanced Measurement Report(EMR), GBFD-117001 Flex MAIO, GBFD-510104 Multi-site Cell, GBFD-113521 A5/1 Encryption Flow Optimization, GBFD-114001 Extended Cell or GBFD-510101 Automatic Frequency Correction (AFC). In Abis over TDM mode, the configurations of the features on which this feature depends are complete. This feature depends on the features GBFD-117601 Configuring HUAWEI III Power Control Algorithm, GBFD-115502 AMR HR / GBFD-113401 Configuring Half Rate Speech (HR), GBFD-118103 Network Support SAIC, and GBFD-117301 Flex Abis. In Abis over IP mode, the configurations of the features on which this feature depends are complete. This feature depends on the features GBFD-117601 Configuring HUAWEI III Power Control Algorithm, GBFD-115502 AMR HR/GBFD-113401 Configuring Half Rate Speech (HR), GBFD-118103 Network Support SAIC, and GBFD-118601 Configuring Abis over IP / GBFD-118611 Configuring Abis IP over E1/T1. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites VAMOS supports the following transmission modes over the Abis interface: TDM in Flex Abis mode, Ethernet IP, IP over E1, and high level data link control (HDLC).
Double-timeslot cells and repeaters do not support VAMOS. VAMOS is incompatible with enhanced multi-level precedence and preemption (eMLPP), that is, resources occupied by VAMOS-capable MSs cannot be preempted. VAMOS timeslots cannot be integrated for PS services.
Context
Voice services over Adaptive Multi-user Orthogonal Subchannels (VAMOS) aims to expand the capacity of a GSM network without adding TRXs or frequencies. Without adding any configurations, VAMOS increases the traffic volume. Although VAMOS expands the network capacity and reduces the network congestion rate, it affects the voice quality and deteriorates some other KPIs. Therefore, it is recommended that the Half-Rate Service feature be enabled preferentially to expand network capacity and VAMOS be enabled only when network capacity needs to be further expanded. VAMOS is not recommended for users sensitive to voice quality. VAMOS is applicable to scenarios with loose frequency reuse. VAMOS deteriorates voice quality and causes interference to the entire network. Therefore, it is recommended that VAMOS multiplexing be enabled to increase network capacity when channels are congested in a cell and VAMOS demultiplexing be enabled to improve voice quality when the cell load is low. Call drops may occur if users dynamically add a carrier in a network where the VAMOS feature has been enabled. Therefore, it is recommended that users perform this operation in low traffic hours. VAMOS multiplexing is classified into: l l l l l VAMOS multiplexing during assignment VAMOS multiplexing through intra-cell handover VAMOS demultiplexing due to low cell load VAMOS demultiplexing due to poor voice quality Optimization of VAMOS demultiplexing due to poor voice quality
NOTE
VAMOS demultiplexing is classified into:
The BSS automatically resets the cell after you change the setting of the VAMOS Switch parameter. The BSS forces inter-cell handovers for ongoing calls in the cell before resetting the cell and considers a handover failure as a call drop.

Configuring Mute SAIC MS Identification
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115831 Mute SAIC MS Identification. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. This feature cannot be used together with the GBFD-115702 TrFO feature. Dependencies on Other Features The configurations of the other features, on which this feature depends, are complete. This feature depends on GBFD-115830 VAMOS.
Other Prerequisites This feature is not applicable to the A over IP transmission mode because the results of identifying mute SAIC-capable MSs be inaccurate.
Context
VAMOS aims to expand the GSM network capacity without adding TRXs or frequencies. Mute SAIC MSs are the MSs that support SAIC but report Non-SAIC in CLASSMARK3. A nonSAIC MS can only be multiplexed with a VAMOS Level II MS. However, VAMOS level II MSs are not available for commercial use at present. To improve VAMOS multiplexing rate, Huawei BSC provides an effective detection mechanism to identify the Mute SAIC MSs. A database is created at the BSC to record whether an MS is a Mute SAIC MS. The BSC differentiates Mute SAIC MSs from Non-SAIC MSs upon channel allocation. The Mute VAMOS MS Identification is applicable in scenarios with loose frequency reuse and limited network capacity. The MS drop off when the BSC When the Mute SAIC MS identification is enabled, call drops may occur during detection of SAIC-capable MSs.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLVAMOS with its parameters set as follows: Set Mute SAIC Terminal Processing Switch and Auto Mute SAIC Identification Switch to ON(On). Set Average RX Qual Difference Threshold, Abnormal Average RX Qual Times Threshold, and Periods for Auto Mute SAIC Identify to appropriate values.
NOTE
The value of Abnormal Average RX Qual Times Threshold must be less than or equal to the value of Periods for Auto Mute SAIC Identify. If the value of Periods for Auto Mute SAIC Identify is constant, a larger value of Abnormal Average RX Qual Times Threshold indicates that an MS is more likely to be identified as a mute SAIC MS. It is recommended that Abnormal Average RX Qual Times Threshold be set to 1 when Periods for Auto Mute SAIC Identify is set to the default value of 3.
2. 3.
Wait about one month. Run the BSC6900 MML command EXP MSSAICCAPMML to export the mute SAIC MS detection result in an MML script. In this step, set Export type to NEWDATA(New generated data) and File Name to the name of the MML script. The MML script file is saved in the \bam\version_x\ftp\ms_saic_cap path.
NOTE
l Use File Manager on the LMT to locate the script file in the save path. l version_x refers to the active OMU workspace.You can run the LST OMUAREA command to query it. The value of Workarea flag in the command output indicates the active OMU workspace.
4. 5.
Run the MML script to import the mute SAIC MS identification result into the SAIC MS capability database. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLVAMOS to disable the mute SAIC MS detection. In this step, set VAMOS Switch to ON(On), Mute SAIC Terminal Processing Switch to ON(On), and Auto Mute SAIC Identification Switch to OFF (Off).
Verification Procedure Assume that there are idle TCHHs in cell 0, the Abis interface uses IP transmission, the BTS supports VAMOS, and MS 1 and MS 2 are Mute SAIC MSs.
NOTE
The parameters should be set to their recommended values for a commercial network. The following operations are recommended only when you want to enable this feature immediately:
1.
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLVAMOS. In this step, set VAMOS Switch to ON(On), Allow Channel Multiplex via In-Cell HO to ON(On), Channel Multiplex Load Thres. to 0, ATCB Thres. of Established SAIC Calls to 1, UL Rx Qual. Thres. of Established Calls to 70, DL Rx Qual. Thres. of Established Calls to 70, and Path Loss Offset Thres. of VAMOS Call to 63. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCHMGAD. In this step, set TCH Traffic Busy Threshold to 0. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXDEV. In this step, set TCH Rate Adjust Allow to YES(Yes).

Configuring VAMOS Call Drop Solution
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115832 VAMOS Call Drop Solution. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. This feature cannot be used together with the GBFD-115702 TrFO feature. Dependencies on Other Features The feature GBFD-115830 VAMOS has been configured before this feature is activated.
Other Prerequisites This feature is not applicable to the A over IP transmission mode because the results of identifying defective SAIC-capable MSs may be inaccurate.
Context
VAMOS aims to expand the GSM network capacity without adding TRXs or frequencies. Test results, however, indicate that call drops are likely to occur after SAIC-capable MSs are multiplexed with other MSs. To obtain the desired capacity gain through VAMOS, the BSC provides a mechanism to identify defective SAIC-capable MSs so that these MSs can be multiplexed with other suitable MSs based on support capability. In addition, the BSC uses a power control policy specific to defective SAIC-capable MSs to ensure speech quality. A database is created at the BSC to record whether the MSs under the BSC have defects in SAIC. All the MSs under the BSC are classified into three types: defective SAIC-capable MSs that cannot use VAMOS, defective SAIC-capable MSs that can use VAMOS but require alpha hopping modulation, and normal SAIC-capable MSs that can use VAMOS but require alphaQPSK modulation. Before allocating a channel to an MS, the BSC determines the MS type and the required modulation scheme by checking the records in the database.
The VAMOS call drop solution is applicable in scenarios with loose frequency reuse and limited network capacity.When the VAMOS call drop solution is enabled, call drops may occur during detection of SAIC-capable MSs with AFC defects.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLVAMOS with its parameters set as follows: Set Problem SAIC Terminal Processing Switch and Problem SAIC Terminal Identify Switch to ON(On). Set Faulty SAIC MS Mean RX Qual Differ Thres, Faulty SAIC MS Mean RX Qual Abnor Thres, and Auto Identify Periods for Faulty SAIC MSto appropriate values.
NOTE
If the value of Auto Identify Periods for Faulty SAIC MS is constant, a larger value of Faulty SAIC MS Mean RX Qual Abnor Thres indicates that an MS is more likely to be identified as a SAIC MS that allows VAMOS channel multiplexing using the Alpha hopping modulation. It is recommended that Faulty SAIC MS Mean RX Qual Abnor Thres be set to 1 when Auto Identify Periods for Faulty SAIC MS is set to the default value of 3.
2. 3.
Wait about one month. Run the BSC6900 MML command EXP MSSAICCAPMML to export the problem SAIC MS detection result in an MML script. In this step, set Export typeto NEWDATA(New generated data) and File Name to the name of the MML script. The MML script file is saved in the \bam\version_x\ftp\ms_saic_cap path.

A call drop occurs on defective SAIC-capable MS 2 a few seconds later. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLVAMOS. In this step, set both VAMOS Switch and Problem SAIC Terminal Processing Switch to ON(On).
10. View the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) on the back of each MS or input *#06# on each MS to display their respective IMEIs. The MS model comprises the initial 8-digit portion of the IMEI, known as type approval code (TAC). 11. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD GMSSAICCAP. In this step, specify MS 1 as a normal SAIC-capable MS, and set TAC to the first eight digits of the IMEI of MS 1, Mute SAIC Flag to NOTINVOLVED(Not involved), and Problem SAIC Flag to NOTINVOLVED(Not involved). 12. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD GMSSAICCAP. In this step, specify MS 2 as a defective SAIC-capable MS, and set TAC to the first eight digits of the IMEI of MS 2, Mute SAIC Flag to NOTINVOLVED(Not involved), and Problem SAIC Flag to JUMP_ALPHA(Alpha hopping modulation). 13. Repeat Step 5 through Step 7 to multiplex MS 1 and MS 2 on the same TCHH. MS 2 does not experience a call drop.
Expected result: When Problem SAIC Flag is set to NO(No), a call drop occurs in MS 2 after being multiplexed with normal SAIC-capable MS 1. When Problem SAIC Flag is set to YES(Yes), MS 2 does not experience a call drop after being multiplexed with normal SAIC-capable MS 1. l Deactivation Procedure 1. ----End Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLVAMOS.

Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLSBC. In this step, set Cell Index to the index of the cell to be verified and set Support Cell Broadcast Name to YES(Yes). Set Chan ID, Geography Scope, Broadcast Content, Coding Scheme, and Broadcast Interval to appropriate values.
Sending a specified message at a specified time a specified number of transmission times a. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD GSMSCB. In this step, set Cell Index List to the index of the cell to be verified, Geography Scope to LAC_CI(CELL IMME), Code to 1, and Update to 0. In addition, set Repeat and Broadcast Interval, set Start Time and End Time to the specified time, and set Chan ID, Coding Scheme, and Content of Message to appropriate values.
NOTE
l The time specified by End Time in the ADD GSMSCB command must be later than the current time displayed on the OMU. l When Repeat and Broadcast Interval are both set to 60, StartTime and EndTime must be set to values later than the current time displayed on the OMU and the interval between the two values must be longer than 1 hour to ensure that the simple broadcast message can be successfully transmitted 60 times.
Verification Procedure 1. On the LMT, start an Abis interface CS trace task with trace type set to RSL. For details on how to start the task, see Tracing CS Domain RSL Messages on the Abis Interface in the LMT User Guide. Set the same channel on the MS side as the channel specified by CHANID in Step 3 (the setting procedure depends on the MS brand). The SMS Broadcast Command message can be traced on the Abis interface. The MS can receive the BROADCASTCONTENT specified in Step 3.
NOTE
BROADCASTCONTENT set through the SET GCELLSBC command can be received at any time. BROADCASTCONTENT set through the ADD GSMSCB command can be received only within the specified time period.

Configuring VGCS and VBS
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate Voice Group Call Service (VGCS) and Voice Broadcast Service (VBS).
Dependencies on Hardware The test cell is configured with the VGCS function and VGCS ID at the MSC. Non-single channel originating is configured at the MSC. VGCS and VBS are enabled for the IMSIs used in this test at the HLR. Two test MSs, MS1 and MS2, that support VGCS and VBS are available.
l l
Other Prerequisites The test cell has idle TCHs. Channel status monitoring of the test cell is started. For details, see Monitoring Channel Status. The BTS3012/BTS3012AE (configured with QTRUs), BTS3900B, and BTS3012E do not support this feature.
Context
Compared with GSM, GSM-R provides new features, such as VGCS, VBS, and enhanced MultiLevel Precedence and Preemption (eMLPP) service. GSM-R can provide diversified voice dispatch services required in the private network. A cell does not support VGCS or VBS by default, that is, the default value of NCH Occupy Block Number is 0. Configure VGCS and VBS by setting NCH Occupy Block Number and NCH Start Block. When NCH Occupy Block Number is not 0, the BSC informs the MS of the NCH information in system information type 1. The MS initiates a VGCS/VBS call after receiving the message indicating that the system supports VGCS/VBS.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLGSMR (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > GSM-R Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set NCH Occupy Block Number and NCH Start Block to appropriate values.
NOTE
l NCH Occupy Block Number must be set to a value other than 0. The sum of NCH Occupy Block Number and NCH Start Block must be smaller than or equal to the value of CCCH Blocks Reserved for AGCH. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GCELLIDLEBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Idle Mode > Idle Basic Parameters of Cell) to query the value of CCCH Blocks Reserved for AGCH.
Verification Procedure Verifying VGCS 1. 2. Use MS1 to perform VGCS in the test cell. On the LMT, open the A Interface Trace dialog box and select BSSAP. Expected result: The messages VGCS/VBS Setup, VGCS/VBS Setup Ack, VGCS/VBS Assignment Request, VGCS/VBS Assignment Result, and VGCS/ VBS Talker Information are traced on the A interface. 3. Check the status of the TCHs in the test cell. You can see that besides the TCH for VGCS, another TCH is occupied and this TCH is released 5 seconds later.
NOTE
A calling session lasts for 5 seconds after pressing the push-to-talk (PTT) key. To prolong the calling session, press and hold down the PTT key for as long as necessary.
4.
Use MS2 to perform VGCS with the same VGCS ID as MS1 in the test cell. Expected result: MS2 is notified that the VGCS already exists. After adding MS2 to the ongoing VGCS, you can view the current VGCS ID from the screen of MS2.
5.
Press the PTT key on MS2 to occupy the uplink resources. Then check the traced messages displayed in the A Interface Trace window and on the MS1. Expected result: The messages Uplink Request, Uplink Request Ack, Uplink Request Confirmation, and VGCS/VBS Talker Information are traced on the A interface. You can use MS1 to view the MS2 phone number and hear the voice from MS2.
6.
Press the PTT key on MS2 and then on MS1 to occupy the uplink resources. The occupation attempt of MS1 is rejected. Use MS1 to perform VBS in the test cell. On the LMT, open the A Interface Trace dialog box and select BSSAP. Expected result: The messages VGCS/VBS Setup, VGCS/VBS Setup Ack, VGCS/VBS Assignment Request, and VGCS/VBS Assignment Result are traced on the A interface.

Configuring LCS (cell ID + TA)
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115402 LCS (cell ID + TA).
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Other Prerequisites The CN must support this feature. The MSC supports the LCS. The test cell is operational, and idle channels are available in the test cell.
Context
LCS is used to locate an MS with precision of a certain level and provide a series of specific services based on the location of the MS. For example, LCS can locate an MS that initiates an emergency call or provide information about the MS location for other value added services (VASs). LCS can be categorized into three types: NSS-based LCS (cell ID + TA), BSS-based LCS (cell ID + TA), and simple mode LCS (cell ID + TA). In the NSS-based LCS (cell ID + TA), the BSC provides the cell ID and TA of an MS for the MSC, and then the MSC calculates the MS location. In the BSS-based LCS (cell ID + TA), the BSC calculates the MS location based on the cell ID and TA of the MS and sends the location information to the MSC. In the simple mode LCS (cell ID + TA), the BSC calculates the MS location based on the cell ID and TA of the MS and sends the location information to the MS through single user trace messages.

Configuring Lb Interface
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115404 Lb Interface.
This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites The MSC supports location service (LCS). The MS supports the assisted GPS (AGPS) location service when the AGPS positioning method is used. The operator is configured. Assume that the operator name is op1. The Abis, Ater, and Lb interfaces apply the same transmission modes if the UplinkTime Difference Of Arrival (U-TDOA) locating mode is applied. The LMU (type B) must be configured to support the U-TDOA location mode.
Context
The BSC6900 supports two types of location services: l l 70 Configuring LCS (cell ID + TA) LCS based on an external Serving Mobile Location Center (SMLC) which is connected to the BSC6900 through the Lb interface
The first type of LCS adopt a built-in SMLC, that is, positioning is performed by the BSS internal algorithm. The last type of LCS adopts an external SMLC, that is, positioning is performed by a third-party network element. LCS based on a built-in SMLC and that based on an external SMLC cannot be used together. This feature is involved in the last type of LCS.
The Lb interface is a standard interface between BSC and SMLC. The main function of the SMLC is to locate an MS based on the measurement results reported by the MS. Huawei BSS equipment supports the standard Lb interface, and can be interconnected with the SMLC of other vendorsFigure 71-1 shows the position of the SMLC in a network. Figure 71-1 Position of the SMLC in the network
Generally, one BSC is connected to only one SMLC. When the BSS Sharing feature is enabled, one BSC can be interconnected with four SMLCs of four different operators. A BSC can be connected to an SMLC in the following ways: l By adding an Lb interface board TDM or IP transport can be used over the Lb interface.
NOTE
The Lb interface can be configured on any interface boards.
Without adding an Lb interface board In BM/TC separated configuration mode, if TDM transport is used over the Lb interface, the Lb interface must be configured on the Ater interface board of the BM subrack or on the A interface board of the TC subrack. In BM/TC combined configuration mode, if TDM transport is used over the Lb interface, the Lb interface must be configured on the A interface board. If IP transport is used over the Lb interface, the Lb interface must be configured on the A or Abis interface board of the BM subrack.
To connect the BSC6900 to an SMLC, data needs to be negotiated and planned for the Lb interface. Table 71-1 and Table 71-2 provide Lb interface configuration examples. Table 71-1 Lb interface configuration example (TDM transport) Parameters OSP Code DSP Code Network ID

Configuring Resource Reservation
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-116001 Resource Reservation.
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Dependency on License The license for this feature is activated.
Context
With the resource reservation feature, the system reserves TCHFs for high-priority users to ensure their QoS. l l Channel resources are reserved for high-priority users, therefore 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 (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Channel Management > Basic Channel Management Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Grade Access

Allow to YES(Yes), and set Highest Priority and Reserved Channel Number to proper values. l Verification Procedure 1. 2. 3. 4. 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. 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. 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. l Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCHMGBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Channel Management > Basic Channel Management Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Grade Access Allow to NO(No). Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GCELLCHMGBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Channel Management > Basic Channel Management Parameters of Cell) to query the value of Grade Access Allow.

Configuring Enhanced Multi Level
Precedence and Preemption (eMLPP)
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115001 Enhanced Multi Level Precedence and Preemption (eMLPP).
Other Prerequisites The MSC, HLR, and MS support eMLPP.
Context
The eMLPP service offers a segmentation function. Using this feature, operators can provide differentiated services for subscribers of different priorities. The eMLPP function ensures the speech quality of high-priority MSs when the network traffic is heavy. The MS needs to support eMLPP so that it can initiate calls of different priorities. This feature ensures the service quality of high-priority calls by using methods such as preemption, queuing, direct retry, and forced handovers. eMLPP involves two mechanisms: preemption and queuing.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST BSCBASIC (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > Basic Attributes of BSC) to query the value of A Interface Tag.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)

NOTE
If the value of A Interface Tag is not GSM_PHASE_2Plus, Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCBASIC (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > Basic Attributes of BSC; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches) to set A Interface Tag to GSM_PHASE_2Plus.
2.
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET OTHSOFTPARA (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > Software Parameter Configuration > Other Software Parameters of BSC; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Preemption Allowed to YES(Yes) to allow high-priority MSs to preempt resources for lowpriority MSs when there is no resource available for high-priority MSs. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > Call Control Basic Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Allow EMLPP to YES(Yes).
NOTE
3.
Service preemption is used as an example to describe the verification procedure. Assume that in Step 3, Allow EMLPP is set to YES(Yes).
1. 2. 3.
Prepare three test MSs (MS1, MS2, and MS3), and assign the highest priority for MS1 and the lowest priority for MS3 on the HLR side. Configure data on the MSC side. Ensure that the resources for low-priority MSs can be preempted by high-priority MSs. On the BSC6900 LMT, initiate CS message tracing of a single user by referring to Tracing CS Domain Messages of a Single Subscriber. Set Trace Object Symbol Type to IMSI and enter the IMSI of the MS to be traced, as shown in Figure 73-1.

6. 7. 8.
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXCHANADMSTAT to block remaining idle TCHs in the cell. Use MS1 to make a PSTN call in the cell. If no neighboring relationship is correctly configured, view the measurement reports sent by MS1 and check whether MS1 has preempted the TCH used by MS2 or MS3. The call of MS3 is released. MS1 and MS2 continue their calls properly. Check the measurement reports sent by MS1. The number of the TCH occupied by MS1 is the same as that of the TCH occupied by MS3 in step 6. This indicates that MS1 occupies the TCH of MS3. If neighboring relationship is correctly configured, view the measurement reports sent by MS1 to check whether MS1 has preempted the TCH used by MS2 or MS3 and check whether the preempted MS has been handed over to a neighboring cell to continue the call properly. MS1, MS2, and MS3 make calls properly. MS1 preempts the TCH of MS3, and MS3 has been handed over to a neighboring cell. Check the measurement reports sent by MS3. The number of the TCH occupied by MS3 is a TCH number of the neighboring cell. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET OTHSOFTPARA (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > Software Parameter Configuration > Other Software Parameters of BSC; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Preemption Allowed to NO(No). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCBASIC (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > Basic Attributes of BSC; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches). In this step, set A Interface Tag to its original value in the activation procedure. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > Call Control Basic Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches).

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115002 Flow Control Based on Cell Priority.
Prerequisites
l l Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features The feature GBFD-111705 GSM Flow Control has been configured before this feature is activated. The two features are recommended working together: GBFD-115002 Flow Control Based on Cell Priority and GBFD-115003 Flow control based on User priority. The former one controls uplink flow and the latter one controls downlink flow. l Dependency on License The license for this feature is activated.
Context
This feature is enabled when the BSC is congested to ensure the calls in VIP cells and the paging to VIP MSs. This feature has no impact on the BSC operation or the high-priority call continuity success rate. This feature is applied to scenarios where traffic intensity becomes extremely great in case of natural disasters. When the GSM network is congested due to an unexpected traffic peak, VIP cells are created by splitting up existing cells or adding base stations. Special Location Area Codes (LACs) are assigned to the VIP cells, and roaming areas are specified for the special LACs at the CN. Only VIP MSs are allowed to camp on VIP cells, which avoids that a large number of common MSs camp on VIP cells and then VIP cells become congested again. The CN does not impose roaming area limitation on a common cell. In this case, a large number of users may camp on a common cell. Then, congestion may occur in this common cell. As a result, services provided by the cell are affected.

Configuring 11-Bit EGPRS Access
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-119201 11-Bit EGPRS Access, GBFD-119203 Extended Uplink TBF and the basic feature GBFD-119202 Packet Assignment Taken Over by the BTS. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependency on Hardware Built-in PCU should be used, the Packet Processing board and Gb interface board are required. 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.
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.Run the BSC6900 MML command
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
328

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. 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). In built-in PCU mode, run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCPSSOFTPARA on the LMT. In this step, set Force MS Two-phase Access to Close(Close).
3.
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).
Verification Procedure 1. Verify the extended uplink TBF. 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. 2. Verify the 11-bit EGPRS access on the CCCH.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
Use the MS that supports 11-bit EGPRS to perform PS services. If the value of random access for a channel request is 11-bit, the MS has accessed the network. 3. Verify the takeover of packet assignment by the BTS. 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. l Deactivation Procedure 1. 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). 3. Deactivate the takeover of packet assignment by the BTS. In external PCU mode, run the PCU CfgPara SET allrppu g_bCellSptPackAssDlShift 4 1 command on the PCU maintenance terminal to configure the cell not to support the takeover of packet assignment by the BTS. After running the command, 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 NO(No). ----End

About This Chapter
Prerequisites
l
Configuring Packet Channel Dispatching
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-119302 Packet Channel Dispatching.
Dependency on Hardware Built-in PCU should be used, the Packet Processing board and Gb interface board are required.
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.
Other Prerequisites 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 06 (2013-04-15)
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.

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 BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXCHAN. 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).

82 Configuring Streaming QoS(GBR)
82
Prerequisites
l l
Configuring Streaming QoS(GBR)
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-119901 Streaming QoS(GBR). (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependencies on Hardware A built-in PCU, a packet service processing board, and a Gb interface board are configured. Dependencies on Other Features The feature GBFD-114101 GPRS, GBFD-114201 EGPRS, GBFD-510803 Uplink EGPRS2-A or GBFD-510804 Downlink EGPRS2-A has been configured before this feature is activated.
Other Prerequisites The MSs and SGSN support the PFM procedure and R99 QoS. The cell is configured with static PDCHs.
Context
In the case of streaming services, the BSC allocates radio blocks to users based on their QoS attribute GBR and ensures that the data transmission rates meet the requirements of streaming services. If streaming services support resource preemption, high-priority streaming services can preempt radio blocks of low-priority streaming services when radio resources are insufficient. This ensures that higher-priority services preferentially use radio resources. If streaming services do not support resource preemption, the GBR is decreased when radio resources are insufficient; when radio resources become sufficient, the GBR is restored to the negotiated values. When the BSC needs to decrease or restore the GBR, it requests the SGSN to modify the GBR through a PFM procedure.
Procedure
l
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
1.
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSOTHERPARA. In this step, set Support GBR QoS to YES(Support). To enable streaming services to preempt PDCHs, set OccupyStreamingSwitch to ON(ON). Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD NSE. In this step, set PFC Support to YES (Support). On the SGSN side, enable the network service entity (NSE) to support Packet Flow Context (PFC). To enable streaming services to preempt PDCHs, configure the NSE to carry the ARP information element. Run the BSC6900 MML command RST SIGBVC to reset the SIGBVC to ensure that the NSE on the CN side is consistent with that on the NE side. Initiate Um interface PS message tracing and check the PSI13 message. Expected result: The value of pfc-feature-mode in the PSI13 message is 1. This indicates that the BSC supports PDC. Initiate Gb interface PTP tracing. Perform PDP context activation on an MS whose registered traffic class is streaming. Expected result: Signaling messages such as CREATE BSS PFC and CREATE BSS PFC ACK are traced. This indicates that the PDP context is activated. Use an MS whose registered traffic class is streaming and an MS whose registered traffic class is interactive or background to perform PS services. The MSs share the same channel group. Expected result: The BSC allocates resources to the MS whose registered traffic class is streaming based on the registered GBR. The other MSs share the remaining resources. Use multiple MSs whose registered traffic class is streaming to perform PS services. Expected result: If the MSs have the same priority, the BSS allocates resources to the MS that is the first to access the network. If the MSs have different priorities and support resource preemption, a high-priority MS can preempt resources of a lowpriority MS.

The information element ARP of CREATE BSS PFC of the Gb interface specifies information such as the priority of streaming services and whether streaming services can preempt resources and 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 NSE. In this step, set PFC Support to NO (No Support). Expected result: The value of pfc-feature-mode in the PSI13 message is 0.

Configuring QoS ARP&THP
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-119902 QoS ARP&THP. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependencies on Hardware A built-in PCU, a packet service processing board, and a Gb interface board are configured. Dependencies on Other Features The feature GBFD-114101 GPRS or GBFD-114201 EGPRS has been configured before this feature is activated. This feature cannot be used with the following features: GBFD-119506 GPRS/EGPRS Time slot multiplexing priority. GBFD-119907 PS Service in Priority.
Context
The BSC allocates radio resources to the MS according the allocation/retention priority (ARP) and traffic handle priority (THP) in the QoS attributes. The higher-priority users enjoy more radio resources and wider radio bandwidth. The BSC maps the R97/R98 QoS to the R99 QoS according to the 3GPP specifications. With this feature, the operator allocates radio resources according to service types and user priority. As a result, the user with a higher priority can seize more bandwidth and enjoy higher data rate and services of better quality. Interactive services: The BSS allocates radio resources to users according to the ARP and THP in the QoS attributes. If the ARPs of users are the same, users with a higher THP are allocated more radio resources. If the THPs of users are the same, users with a higher ARP are allocated more radio resources. Background services: The BSS allocates radio resources to users according to the ARP of QoS. Users with a higher ARP are allocated more radio resources.
The BSS allocates radio resources to services that do not support QoS in the way it allocates radio resources to best effort services.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSOTHERPARA. In this step, set Support GBR QoS to YES(Support), set MAC Scheduling Type to BUDGET (Scheduling Based On Budget), set Support QoS Optimize to YES(Support). Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD NSE. In this step, set PFC Support to YES (Support). Configure the NSE to support PFC on the SGSN side. 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. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSCHM. In this step, set the values of THP1-ARP1 Priority Weight, THP1-ARP2 Priority Weight, THP1-ARP3 Priority Weight, THP2-ARP1 Priority Weight, THP2-ARP2 Priority Weight, THP2-ARP3 Priority Weight, THP3-ARP1 Priority Weight, THP3-ARP2 Priority Weight, THP3-ARP3 Priority Weight, Background-ARP1 Priority Weight, Background-ARP2 Priority Weight, Background-ARP3 Priority Weight, BestEffort-ARP1 Priority Weight, BestEffort-ARP2 Priority Weight, and BestEffort-ARP3 Priority Weight according to the weight of bandwidths occupied by users with different priorities.
NOTE
2. 3. 4. 5.
To verify this feature, you can run the command SET GTRXCHANADMSTAT to block idle channels in the cells so that as many MSs as possible are multiplexed on the same channel group. To query the channel number of each MS, initiate PS message tracing of a single user by referring to Tracing PS Domain Messages of a Single Subscriber. Perform PS download services to check the data rate of each MS.
1.
Use the MSs whose registered traffic classes are interactive or background to perform PS services and ensure that the MSs share the same channel group. 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. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSOTHERPARA. In this step, set Support GBR QoS to NO(Not Support), set Support QoS Optimize to NO(Not Support). Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD NSE. In this step, set PFC Support to NO (Not Support). Run the BSC6900 MML command RST SIGBVC to reset the SIGBVC.

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.

Configuring Conversational QoS
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-119906 Conversational QoS. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependencies on Hardware A built-in PCU, a packet service processing board, and a Gb interface board have been configured. Requirements for the Network Topology The Abis interface must use the Abis over IP and Abis over HDLC networking modes. Requirements for Other NEs and Third-Party Devices The MS and SGSN must support the PFM procedure and R99 QoS. Dependencies on Other Features The following features have been configured before this feature is activated: GBFD-114101 GPRS, GBFD-114201 EGPRS, GBFD-510803 Uplink EGPRS2-A, GBFD-510804 Downlink EGPRS2-A, GBFD-510805 Latency Reduction.
Other Prerequisites None
Context
As real-time services, conversational services require low transfer delay. The priorities for scheduling radio resources for the PoC service and conversational services are higher than those for other services. As defined in 3GPP specifications, the transfer delay of conversational services must not exceed 80 ms. Generally, the end-to-end transfer delay of VoIP services must not exceed 300 ms. Otherwise, user satisfaction deteriorates.

Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSOTHERPARA with Support GBR QoS set to YES(Support). Run the BSC6900 MML commandMOD NSE with PFC Support set to YES (Support). On the SGSN side, enable the network service entity (NSE) to support Packet Flow Context (PFC). Run the BSC6900 MML commandRST SIGBVC to reset the SIGBVC to ensure that the NSE status on the SGSN side is consistent with that on the BSC side. Initiate PS message tracing over the Um interface and check the PSI13 message. Expected result: The value of pfc-feature-mode in the PSI13 message is 1, indicating that the BSC supports PFC. Start PTP message tracing over the Gb interface. Perform PDP context activation on an MS whose registered traffic class is Conversational. Expected result: Signaling messages such as Create BSS PFC and Create BSS PFC Ack are displayed, indicating that the PDP context has been activated. Use an MS whose registered traffic class is Conversational and an MS whose registered traffic class is interactive or background to perform PS services. Ensure that the two MSs are multiplexed on the same PDCH group. Expected result: The wireless-block scheduling delay, BER, and number of data transmission times for MS whose registered traffic class is Conversational are less than those for the MS whose registered traffic class is non-Conversational. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSOTHERPARA with Support GBR QoS set to NO(Not Support). Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD NSE with PFC Support set to NO(Not Support).

This feature depends on the feature: GBFD-114101 GPRS or GBFD-114201 EGPRS. This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-511110 BSC supporting Blind Search when GERAN-to-UTRAN Cell Reselection. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites The test cell has a neighboring cell. The serving cell works properly. This feature should be supported by the MS. The serving cell and the target cell belong to the same PLMN. If they belong to different PLMNs, configure the two PLMNs as equivalent PLMNs on the SGSN. For the GSM-to-WCDMA Network-Controlled Cell Reselection function, ensure that the Inter-RAT Cell Reselection Enable parameter has been set to YES(Yes) for the GSM cell, and at least one neighboring WCDMA cell has been configured.
Context
With this feature, an MS in a cell with poor signal quality, heavy load, or low signal level can reselect a neighboring cell with good signal quality, light load, or high signal level. Compared with the MS-controlled cell reselection, the network-controlled cell reselection considers factors such as the service type of the MS, and receive level, traffic load, and signal level of neighboring cells so that the MS can reselect a better cell.

Configuring Network Assisted Cell Change (NACC)
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-116301 Network Assisted Cell Change (NACC) and GBFD-119801 Packet SI Status(PSI). (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependencies on Hardware A built-in PCU, a packet service processing board, and a Gb interface board are configured. Dependencies on Other Features The feature GBFD-114101 GPRS has been configured before this feature is activated. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Other Prerequisites The MS and Core Network (CN) must support this feature. The test cell is a GSM cell and has a neighboring GSM cell. The cell supports the GRPS service or EDGE service. The serving cell support NACC. The network control modes of the serving cell is set to NC0 or NC1. The serving cell and the target cell belong to the same PLMN. If they belong to different PLMNs, configure the two PLMNs as equivalent PLMNs on the SGSN. The MS detects signal strength deterioration in the serving cell and detects a neighboring cell with better signal strength.
Context
NACC can be configured to accelerate the cell reselection of an MS and shorten the period of service disruption caused by cell reselection. The BSC sends the system information on the neighboring cells to the MS that works in packet transfer mode so that the MS can initiate packet access after cell reselection. After receiving the
system information on neighboring cells on the PACCH, the MS that is in packet transfer mode can keep these information for 30 seconds, during which it can attempt to access the neighboring cell according to the system information.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure Activating Intra-BSC NACC 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSBASE. In this step, set Network Control Mode to NC0(NC0) or NC1(NC1). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLGPRS. In this step, set GPRS to SupportAsInnPcu(Support as built-in PCU) and Support NACC to YES (Yes).
NOTE
To further improve the performance of PS services, the parameter PACKET SI can be set to YES(Yes).

NOTE
Perform this operation when the traffic is light because it affects the services of all cells under the NSE.
Verification Procedure 1. 2. Use the MS to initiate 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.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
3.
Trace the signaling on the Um interface by referring to 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 PACKET SI to NO(No). Expected result: The value of Support NACC is NO(No) and that of PACKET SI is NO(No). The cell supports neither NACC nor PACKET SI STATUS.

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.
Dependency on Hardware Built-in PCU should be used, the Packet Processing board and Gb interface board are required. Dependency on Other Features The configurations of the features on which this feature depends are complete. This feature depends on the feature: GBFD-114101 GPRS or GBFD-114201 EGPRS.
Other Prerequisites 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. l Data Preparation

Parameter Name Uplink Multiplex Threshold of Dynamic Channel Conversion Downlink Multiplex Threshold of Dynamic Channel Conversion Upper Threshold for CS Idle Channel Rate Lower Threshold for CS Idle Channel Rate Inter_Cell PS Resource Preempt Allowed Inter_Cell PS Resource Preempted Allowed PS Service Guaranteed Rate
Parameter ID UPDYNCHNT RANLEV
Parameter Setting This parameter controls dynamic channel conversion requests and releases based on the uplink load in a cell. If the proportion of PDCHs is large in a cell, you are advised to set this parameter to a large value to minimize the impact of PS services on CS services. This parameter controls dynamic channel conversion requests and releases based on the downlink load in a cell. If the proportion of PDCHs is large in a cell, you are advised to set this parameter to a large value to minimize the impact of PS services on CS services. When the proportion of idle TCHs is greater than this threshold and more than one MS is multiplexed onto a PDCH, a dynamic channel conversion request is raised. When the proportion of idle TCHs for CS services is less than this threshold, a dynamic channel release is triggered. This parameter specifies whether PS services in a cell can preempt PDCHs of other cells if Abis transmission resources or DPU resources are insufficient. This parameter specifies whether PDCHs in a cell can be preempted by PS services of other cells if Abis transmission resources or DPU resources are insufficient. This parameter specifies the minimum number of Abis resources requested for PDCHs at a site. For example, if this parameter is set to 16K(16K), a minimum of 16 kbit/s bandwidth must be requested. To enable the services carried on PDCHs to use a high-rate coding scheme, set this parameter to a value indicating a high rate.

Prerequisites
Configuring EDA
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-119401 Extended Dynamic Allocation (EDA).
Built-in PCU should be used, the Packet Processing board and Gb interface board are required. The configurations of the features on which this feature depends are complete. This feature depends on the feature: GBFD-114101 GPRS or GBFD-114201 EGPRS. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites This feature is supported by MS.
Context
Generally, the GPRS/EGPRS traffic is higher in downlink than in uplink. In 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 at least three 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

14. Compare the results obtained in Step 7 and Step 13.

94 Configuring EDA
The expected result: As recorded in Step 13, the number of PDCHs occupied by the MS is greater than or equal to 3, and the uploading speed is improved to a great extent than that recorded in Step 7. l Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCPSSOFTPARA (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > Software Parameter Configuration > PS Software Parameter; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches).

Configuring Active TBF Allocation
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-119407 Active TBF Allocation.
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features The feature GBFD-114101 GPRS has been configured before this feature is activated. Dependencies on Running Environment A built-in PCU is configured. A packet switched (PS) service processing board and the Gb interface board are used.
Other Prerequisites The test cell is configured to support GPRS in built-in PCU mode. The test cell supports the GRPS or EDGE services.
Context
On the live network, the number of TBFs multiplexed on a PDCH cannot reflect the actual PDCH usage. For low-throughput services, data transmission time is a small part of a TBF life cycle. This leads to a PDCH usage. The Active TBF Allocation feature directs the BSC to allocate PDCHs to TBFs to balance the loads between PDCHs. Enabling this feature has the following impacts on system capacity: l l l

Configuring Multiple CCCHs
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-511501 Multiple CCCHs.
Context
Based on configuration of BCCH TRX timeslot 0 as the BCCH physical channel, the feature of Multiple CCCHs allows one to configure timeslots 2, 4, and 6 as BCCH physical channels. This increases the number of CCCHs in a cell and therefore improves the paging and random access capabilities of the cell.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXCHAN (CME single configuration: TRX Configuration Express > Channel Type > Channel Type; CME batch modification center: 3.22 Modifying GSM TRX Parameters in Batches) with TRX ID and Channel No. set to appropriate values and Channel Type set to BCH (BCH).
NOTE
The main BCCH can be configured in only channel 0, and the extension BCCH can be configured in channel 2, 4, or 6. If an extension BCCH is configured, the CCCH parameter in the system message needs to be configured accordingly. For example, if an extension BCCH is configured in timeslot 2, the CCCH parameter in the system message needs to be configured as two uncombined CCCHs.

Configuring Layered Paging
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-511502 Layered Paging.
Dependencies on Hardware A built-in PCU is configured. A packet switched (PS) service processing board and the Gb interface board are used. Dependencies on Other Features The feature GBFD-114101 GPRS or GBFD-114201 EGPRS has been configured before this feature is activated.
Other Prerequisites GSM, UMTS, or LTE neighboring cells are configured. The value of the Ready timer configured on the SGSN side is obtained. Layered Paging must be enabled for cells that correspond to the same network service entity (NSE). Otherwise, Layered Paging does not take effect.
Context
The CCCHs will be overloaded when the number of PS paging messages exceeds that of CS paging messages and increases continuously, which affects the access CS users. Layered paging enables the first paging to be sent only to the last cell on which the MS camps and to its configured neighboring cells, reducing the CCCHs for PS paging.

114 Configuring Dynamic Multiple CCCH

Configuring Dynamic Multiple CCCH
In traffic surge scenarios such as holidays or emergencies, paging overload occurs, which greatly affects services. In static multiple common control channel (CCCH) configuration mode, the specific number of configured channels is difficult to determine. If the configured channels are insufficient, paging overload cannot be resolved thoroughly; if excessive channels are configured, channel resources are wasted. The Dynamic Multiple CCCH feature can resolve the preceding issues. With this feature, if the load on the CCCHs increases, the TCHs corresponding to timeslots 2, 4, and 6 on the BCCH TRX are dynamically converted to CCCHs in succession. This increases the paging capability over the Um interface. If the load on the CCCHs decreases, the CCCHs corresponding to timeslots 6, 4, and 2 on the BCCH TRX are dynamically converted to TCHs in succession. This increases the resource usage. This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-511503 Dynamic Multiple CCCH.

l Precautions 1. 2. If timeslot 0 of the BCCH TRX is combined BCCH or BCCH+CBCH, the Dynamic Multiple CCCH feature cannot be enabled for the BCCH TRX. You are advised to enable or disable this feature in all the cells under the same location area.
NOTE
The paging mode used by the Huawei BSS is: location area code (LAC) paging and BSC paging.
3.
Set BCCH TRX RSL Multiplexing Mode TMSI paging: When Maximum Number of Dynamic CCCHs plus the number of static BCHs is 1, 2, and 3, you are advised to set BCCH TRX RSL Multiplexing Mode to MODE2_1, MODE1_1, and MODE1_1, respectively. IMSI paging: When Maximum Number of Dynamic CCCHs plus the number of static BCHs is 1, 2, and 3, you are advised to set BCCH TRX RSL Multiplexing Mode to MODE4_1, MODE2_1, and MODE1_1.
NOTE
A large value of Maximum Number of Dynamic CCCHs represents a high Um interface capability. To avoid message delivery congestion over the Abis interface, you need to increase the RSL bandwidth of BCCHs and set BCCH TRX RSL Multiplexing Mode by referring to the preceding suggestions.
4.
The following negative gains occur on the channels involved in baseband frequency hopping, on the channels configured as SDCCHs or static PDCHs, and on the channels reserved for VIP users in the cell: If Maximum Number of Dynamic CCCHs is set to 1, the channels cannot be configured in timeslot 2. Otherwise, this feature cannot be enabled. If Maximum Number of Dynamic CCCHs is set to 2, the channels cannot be configured in timeslot 2 or 4. Otherwise, this feature cannot be enabled. If Maximum Number of Dynamic CCCHs is set to 3, the channels cannot be configured in timeslot 2, 4, or 6. Otherwise, this feature cannot be enabled.
Data Preparation Parameter Name Dynamic Multiple CCCHs Parameter ID DynCCCHSwitch Parameter Setting If static BCHs are configured in a cell, remove static BCHs and enable this feature in all cells under the location area.

Parameter Name Dynamic CCCH Addition Threshold
Parameter ID DynCCCHLoadIncrThr
Parameter Setting Load threshold for dynamically converting a TCH to an extended CCCH. If the CCCH load is higher than the value of this parameter within the duration specified by DynCCCHLoadDuration, a TCH is dynamically converted to an extended CCCH. The larger the value of this parameter, the less the number of TCHs dynamically converted to extended CCCHs during peak hours, the lower the paging efficiency. The smaller the value of this parameter, the more the number of TCHs dynamically converted to extended CCCHs during offpeak hours, the lower the resource usage. Load threshold for dynamically converting an extended CCCH to a TCH. An extended CCCH can be dynamically converted to a TCH if the following conditions are met: The CCCH load is lower than the value of this parameter within the duration specified by DynCCCHLoadDuration. The BSC predicts that the message sending capability on the Um interface is adequate after the number of CCCHs decreases. The interval between two consecutive conversions reaches the value specified by DynCCCHReduceInterval. The larger the value of this parameter, the more the number of extended CCCHs dynamically converted to TCHs during peak hours, the lower the paging efficiency. The smaller the value of this parameter, the more the number of extended CCCHs dynamically converted to TCHs during offpeak hours, the lower the resource usage.

After this duration is exceeded, the BTS triggers dynamic additions or removals of extended CCCHs. The larger the value of this parameter, the longer the time to trigger dynamic conversion between extended CCCHs and TCHs, the less the number of dynamic conversions, the lower the paging efficiency. The smaller the value of this parameter, the shorter the time to trigger dynamic conversion between extended CCCHs and TCHs, the more the number of unnecessary conversions due to inaccurate determination, the lower the resource usage.

Parameter Name Maximum Number of Dynamic CCCHs
Parameter ID MaxDynCCCHNu m
Parameter Setting Maximum number of extended CCCHs that can be dynamically converted in a cell. In each cell, there are a maximum of three extended CCCHs, including dynamically converted CCCHs and statically configured CCCHs. These CCCHs are carried by timeslots 2, 4, and 6 on the BCCH TRX. When the CCCH load is low, the channels on these timeslots can be occupied by signaling, CS services, or PS services. When the CCCH load is high, the channels on these timeslots are dynamically converted to extended CCCHs, which reduces the CCCH load. The larger the value of this parameter, the more the number of TCHs dynamically converted to CCCHs during peak hours, the less the number of available TCHs, the higher the TCH congestion rate. The smaller the value of this parameter, the less the number of TCHs dynamically converted to CCCHs, the lower the paging efficiency.

Parameter Name Interval for Dynamically Removing CCCHs
Parameter ID DynCCCHReduceI nterval
Parameter Setting Period during which dynamic conversion from extended CCCHs to TCHs is prohibited after dynamic conversion between extended CCCHs and TCHs are performed. Specifying such period prevents ping-pong dynamic conversions due to CCCH load changes. The larger the value of this parameter, the less the number of extended CCCHs dynamically converted to TCHs during off-peak hours, the lower the resource usage. The smaller the value of this parameter, the more the number of extended CCCHs dynamically converted to TCHs, the more the number of ping-pong dynamic conversions due to paging burst, the lower the paging efficiency.

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.
Dependencies on Hardware The BTS3900B and BTS3900E do not support this feature. At least two QTRUs or GRFUs need to be configured to support this feature. Dependencies on Other Features This feature cannot be used with the following features: GBFD-113701 Frequency Hopping (baseband hopping) when one frequency hopping group is involved in baseband hopping. GBFD-113701 Frequency Hopping (RF hopping) when inter-module RF hopping is applied. GBFD-510104 Multi-site Cell. GBFD-118106 Dynamic Power Sharing.
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. Before configuring Allow Shutdown of TRX Power Amplifier on the TRX, ensure that the TRX meets the following conditions: l l The TRX is not on the BCCH. The PDCH is not available on the TRX.
After confirming that all target TRXs are shutdown, wait for one minute, and then check whether the power decreases.

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 no data is transmitted in idle timeslots, reducing the cost on power greatly. Data Preparation

Configuring Active Backup Power Control
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-111605 Active Backup Power Control.
Dependencies on Hardware The BTS must be configured with the battery and PMU. The BTS3900B does not support this feature. The BTS3012AE supports this feature since GBSS13.0.
l l
Other Prerequisites Huawei power backup device is needed, such as APM30.
Context
When the BTS external power supply fails, storage batteries are started to supply power. The BTS shuts down some TRXs automatically under the control of a timer to save the backup power. Meanwhile, the BTS gradually decreases the TRX transmit power with a certain step until the entire BTS is powered off. When the BTS external power supply recovers, start the TRXs. Then, the transmit power of all the TRXs recovers. Considering the cell coverage, cell capacity, and backup power, this feature gradually decreases cell coverage and hands over MSs at the cell edge to neighboring cells. This does not degrade network performance.
NOTE
Using this feature decreases the system capacity.
Operators can choose any of the following modes:

Coverage preferred Shut down some TRXs and then gradually reduce the transmit power of the remaining TRXs.

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.
Dependencies on Hardware Currently, only double-transceiver TRXs support this feature. Dependencies on Other Features This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-113701 Frequency Hopping (baseband hopping), GBFD-113703 Antenna Frequency Hopping, or GBFD-510104 Multi-site Cell.
Dependency on License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
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, reducing the power consumption.

1.
Enable the PSU Smart Control feature. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSOTHPARA on the BSC LMT with PSU Turning Off Enable set to YES (YES).
Verification Procedure On live networks, observing the gains brought by this feature is difficult because traffic loads change in various ways at long intervals and the power consumption is likely to fluctuate. Therefore, you are advised to select the site models in several different areas, for example, heavily-populated areas, urban areas, suburbs, and countryside, to observe the feature gains in a laboratory. You are advised to monitor the performance on 2 days with similar traffic volume.
NOTE
Ensure that batteries are fully charged because battery charging affects the power consumption.
1.
Do as follows without enabling PSU Smart Control: a. Use a current measurement instrument and a voltage measurement instrument to continuously measure the BTS current and voltage, respectively. Measure the voltage only once because the voltage is stable. Measure the current for a 24-hour period at a fixed interval, such as 5-minute, because the current fluctuates from time to time. b. Record the measured values. Use the average current and voltage measured in an hour as the current and voltage values for the hour, and then calculate the power consumption in each hour by multiplying the average current and voltage.
2. 3. l
Enable PSU Smart Control, and repeat the operations in Step 1 to obtain the power consumption per day. Compare the power consumption before and after PSU Smart Control is activated.

After the transmit power timeslots 1 to 7 on the BCCH carrier is reduced in a cell, the downlink receive level measured by MSs camping on a neighboring cell is inaccurate. This may affect handovers to cell. Therefore, use this feature with caution.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLOTHEXT (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Other Attributes > Extended Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) to enable the BTS to decrease the transmit power of idle timeslots 1 to 7 on the BCCH carrier.

Configuring Dynamic Cell Power Off
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the GBFD-111610 Dynamic Cell Power Off feature.
Dependencies on Hardware The BTS3900B and BTS3900E do not support this feature. Dependencies on Other Features This feature is mutually exclusive with GBFD-118106 Dynamic Power Sharing (the dual-PA power sharing function). It is recommended that this feature be used with GBFD-111602 TRX Power Amplifier Intelligent Shutdown. If TRX Power Amplifier Intelligent Shutdown is enabled alone in a cell, the BSC can disable all the TRXs except the BCCH TRX in the cell, and the cell can continue providing services for subscribers. However, if Dynamic Cell Power Off is enabled alone in a cell, the BSC disables all the TRXs in the cell when related conditions are met. In this case, the cell no longer provides services for subscribers. It is recommended that the Dynamic Cell Power Off feature be used with the TRX Power Amplifier Intelligent Shutdown feature and the specified time when TRX Power Amplifier Intelligent Shutdown starts be earlier than the specified time when Dynamic Cell Power Off starts. This provides the following benefits: When traffic volume in the cell decreases, TRX Power Amplifier Intelligent Shutdown enables the BSC to disable idle TRXs in the cell, thereby reducing cell load. When the cell load is reduced to a predefined threshold, Dynamic Cell Power Off enables the BSC to disable the BCCH TRX, thereby decreasing the power consumption of the cell. It is recommended that the Dynamic Cell Power Off feature be used with the Multiband Sharing One BSC feature. The 900 MHz/1800 MHz dual-band network in Multi-band Sharing One BSC is a recommended application scenario for Dynamic Cell Power Off.

The traffic of the cocoverage cell is lower than the threshold specified by Same Coverage Cell Load Threshold. Set Same Coverage Cell Load Threshold to a value close to the maximum value 100 in Step 2. In this way, the BSC can easily determine that the current cell can be powered off. After the verification, set this parameter to an appropriate value based on network planning. The time to wait before you run the DSP GCELLSTAT command in Step 3 depends on the value of the Same Coverage Cell Load Stat. Time parameter. If the value of Same Coverage Cell Load Stat.

For a BTS3900B or BTS3X series base station which does not support Flex Abis, If a BTS3X series base station is a root node in a chain or tree topology, none of the base stations in the chain or tree support Flex Abis. If a BTS3X series base station is a lower-level base station of BTSs that support Flex Abis, Flex Abis can be enabled on the upper-level BTSs only when the following conditions are met: Flex Abis Mode for the BTS is set to SEMI_ABIS(Semisolid Abis). Flex Abis Mode for its upper-level BTSs is set to FLEX_ABIS(Flex Abis). l Dependencies on Other Features This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-116701 16Kbit RSL and OML on A-bis Interface, GBFD-118601 Abis over IP, GBFD-118611 Abis IP over E1/ T1, GBFD-118401 Abis Transmission Optimization, or GBFD-116601 Abis Bypass. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites The configuration on the BTS is complete. For details, see Configuring a BTS.
Context
Flex Abis enables the sharing of the Abis transmission resources among different BTSs, cells, and services and therefore improves the resource utilization. Especially for multi-cell large capacity BTSs, cascaded BTSs, and the cells configured with the EDGE function, the dynamic Abis resource allocation can greatly improve resource utilization. Before Flex Abis is introduced, there is one-to-one mapping between the Um interface resources and the Abis interface transmission resources. After Flex Abis is enabled in the BSC, the Abis
interface transmission resources work in resource pool mode to improve the utilization of the transmission resources. If a ring topology needs to be configured, only BTS ring topology I is supported. When both Huawei I BTS ring topology and Flex Abis are applied, the following conditions must be met: l l l l Flex Abis must be configured on all BTSs. In addition, the BTSs support only the configuration of one E1 for the forward link and one E1 for the reverse link. No BTS can be configured with Abis bypass. No BTS can be configured with 16 kbit/s LPAD signaling links. No BTS can be configured with Abis timeslot self-detection and self-healing functions.
When Flex Abis is enabled, DXX devices are supported. The limitations in using this feature are as follows: l l l DXX cascading network is not supported. In ring topology I network, DXX is not supported. If faults occur during DXX timeslot switching, no audio will occur.
Before deploying Flex Abis, collect the information specified in Table 129-1.

Parameter Name LDR-triggered Secondary Link Release
Parameter ID RelFlexAbisForLdr
Remarks
Data Source
This parameter specifies whether Network the BSC releases secondary links planning on a PDCH when Load Reshuffling (LDR) is triggered because transmission resources are congested under a BTS using Flex Abis. If this parameter is set to ON (On), the BSC releases secondary links when LDR is triggered. If this parameter is set to OFF(Off), the BSC does not release the secondary links currently used but cannot apply for subsequent secondary links. This parameter specifies whether the BSC adjusts uplink coding schemes in real time after releasing secondary links on a PDCH. If this parameter is set to ON(On), the BSC adjusts uplink coding schemes in real time. If this parameter is set to OFF(Off), the BSC does not adjust uplink coding schemes in real time. Set this parameter to ON(On) if LDRtriggered Secondary Link Release is set to ON(On). Network planning

Configuring BTS Local Switch
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-117702 BTS Local Switch.
Dependencies on Hardware BTS local switching applies only to BTSs using double-transceiver units and 3900 series base stations in TDM or IP transmission mode. Dependencies on Other Features In Abis over TDM transmission mode, this feature depends on the feature GBFD-117301 Flex Abis. In Abis over IP transmission mode, this feature depends on the features GBFD-118601 Abis over IP and GBFD-118611 Abis IP over E1/T1. This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-118602 A over IP, GBFD-118622 A IP over E1/T1, GBFD-118401 Abis Transmission Optimization, GBFD-119301 Voice Fault Diagnosis, GBFD-116601 Abis Bypass, GBFD-115601 Automatic Level Control (ALC), GBFD-115602 Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), GBFD-115603 Automatic Noise Restraint (ANR), GBFD-115701 TFO, GBFD-115703 Automatic Noise Compensation (ANC), GBFD-115704 Enhancement Packet Loss Concealment (EPLC), GBFD-115711 EVAD, GBFD-115506 AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment.
Other Prerequisites The BSC works in either BM/TC separated mode or BM/TC combined mode, and the TDM transmission mode is applied over the Ater and A interfaces. At sites where BTS312s and BTS3012s combine into groups, BSS local switching is enabled only when both the BTS software and the TRX software support it. If the calling MS and the called MS are registered on two different MSCs, BSS local switching is not supported regardless of whether the two MSCs are connected to the same MGW or different MGWs.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
490
In High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) transmission mode, BSS local switching is not supported. If the IP transmission mode is used over the Abis interface, BTSs enabled with the local switching function must be configured on the same MPU.
Context
CAUTION
It is recommended that all cells under a BSC be configured to the same speech version and supported AMR rate set to increase the success rate of BSC local switches. BTS local switching applies only to BTSs using double-transceiver units and 3900 series base stations in TDM or IP transmission mode. When a BTS uses the TDM transmission mode, the BTS must be enabled with Flex Abis. BTS local switching saves transmission resources on the Abis and Ater interfaces and reduces the TC processing delay during a call. If the MSC is not provided by Huawei, the following functions are unavailable in BTS local switching mode: MSC playing the announcement during a call, DTMF number receiving during a call, speech service and then fax service, and separate billing of BSS local switching.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSSLS (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > BSS Local Switching Parameters; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches). In this step, set BSS Local Switching General Strategy to BTSPRIORITY(BTS Priority) or BTSONLY(BTS Only) and set Options for BTS Local Switch and Avoid Number for BTS to appropriate values. If Options for BTS Local Switch is set to ABISCONGESTS(Start When Abis Congests), you need to specify Abis Jam Rate for BTS Local Switch. If Options for BTS Local Switch is set to PREFIXNUMBER(Start by Prefix Number), you need to specify Prefix Number for BTS 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD GCNNODE (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > GSM CN Node; CME batch modification center: not supported) to determine whether BSS local switching is performed by the BSC only or by both the BSC and the MSC.
NOTE
l If the BSC6900 is expected to perform BSS local switching independently based on network planning, you need to set MSC-Collaborated BSS Local Switching to NOTSUPPORT(Not Support). l If the MSC is expected to be involved in BSS local switching based on network planning, you need to set MSC-Collaborated BSS Local Switching to BASIC(Basic Function) or ENHANCED(Enhanced Function) and then set related parameters on the MSC side.

Prerequisites
Configuring Flex Ater
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-116901 Flex Ater.
This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. This feature does not depend on other features. The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites The TC subrack is located separately from the BSC. The Ater interface uses the TDM transmission mode.
Context
With this feature, the Ater resources are classified into 16 kbit/s timeslots and 8 kbit/s timeslots. The BSC allocates the Ater resources according to the channel type during the call establishment. If TCHFs are allocated on the Um interface, 16 kbit/s timeslots are used on the Ater interface. If TCHHs are allocated on the Um interface, 8 kbit/s timeslots are used on the Ater interface. Therefore, the Ater resources are fully utilized. This feature effectively reduces the transmission investment on the Ater interface in remote TC networking.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET OTHSOFTPARA (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > Software Parameter Configuration > Other Software Parameters of BSC; CME batch modification

Configuring BSC Local Switch
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-117701 BSC Local Switch.
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features When the Abis interface is in TDM transmission mode, this feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-118401 Abis Transmission Optimization, GBFD-118601 Abis over IP, GBFD-118611 Abis IP over E1/T1, GBFD-118602 A over IP, GBFD-119301 Voice Fault Diagnosis, GBFD-115506 AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment and GBFD-118622 A IP over E1/T1. When the Abis interface is in IP transmission mode, this feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-118401 Abis Transmission Optimization, GBFD-118602 A over IP, GBFD-119301 Voice Fault Diagnosis, GBFD-115506 AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment and GBFD-118622 A IP over E1/T1.
Other Prerequisites The BSC works in basic module (BM)/transcoder (TC) separate mode and TDM transmission mode is applied over the Ater interface. With BSC Local Switch, neither the base station serving the calling MS nor that serving the called MS uses Abis Transmission Optimization. In sites with a combined BTS cabinet group, BSS local switching can be enabled only when both the BTS software and the TRX software support it.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)

Context
CAUTION
It is recommended that all cells under a BSC be configured to the same speech version and supported AMR rate set to increase the success rate of BSC local switches. With this feature, the BSC performs a voice loopback within the BSC if the calling MS and called MS are located under the same BSC. Voice signals are no longer transmitted on the Ater or A interface, therefore releasing transmission resources on the Ater interface and the transcoder (TC) coding resources. This feature helps save local or remote transmission resources on the Ater interface. If the MSC is not provided by Huawei, the following functions are unavailable in the BSC Local Switch mode: MSC playing the announcement during a call, DTMF number receiving during a call, speech service first and then fax service, and independent billing of BSS local switching. The BSS local switching is not supported as follow: The BSC is configured the MSC Pool function. The calling MS and the called MS are registered on different MGWs, and the MGW is in IP transmission mode. The BTS is in High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) transmission mode.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSSLS (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > BSS Local Switching Parameters; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches). In this step, set BSS Local Switching General Strategy to BSCPRIORITY(BSC Priority) or BSCONLY(BSC Only), specify Options for BSC Local Switch, and set Avoid Number for BSC to appropriate value.
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 BSC6900 MML command MOD GCNNODE (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > GSM CN Node; CME batch modification center: not supported) to configure whether BSS local switching is performed by the BSC only or by both the BSC and the MSC.
NOTE
l If only the BSC performs BSS local switching as selected by the network plan, you need to set MSC-Collaborated BSS Local Switching to NOTSUPPORT(Not Support). l If both the BSC and the MSC perform BSS local switching as selected by the network plan, you need to set MSC-Collaborated BSS Local Switching to BASIC(Basic Function) or ENHANCED(Enhanced Function), and then set related parameters on the MSC side to support BSS local switching.

Ensure that the calling and called MSs are controlled by the same BSC. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP CALLRES to query call resources of an MS. Expected result: When this feature is enabled, only the A interface resources of the TC subrack and Abis interface resources of the BM subrack are displayed, and the Ater resources and TC resources of the BM and TC subracks are saved. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSSLS (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > BSS Local Switching Parameters; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches).

Configuring Ater Compression Transmission
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-116902 Ater Compression Transmission. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependencies on Hardware The POUc board is in position. When the Abis interface uses TDM transmission, the DPUc board is configured. Dependencies on Other Features This feature cannot be used together with GBFD-116901 Flex Ater. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
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.

Configuring Local Multiple Signaling Points
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115301 Local Multiple Signaling Points.
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. Dependency on License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Other prerequisites Multiple 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.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
508
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD OPC (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > OSP; CME batch modification center: not supported) repeatedly to add the OSPs.
NOTE
l The OSP Code of OSPs must be different from each other. They must also be different from the DSP code[Whole Number] of DSPs with the same Network ID. l The SPCBITS of systems with the same Network ID must be the same.
2.
Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD N7DPC (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > DSP Of DPU; CME batch modification center: not supported) repeatedly to add the desired DSPs. In this step, the OSP index and DSP type specified in Step 1 must be set.
NOTE
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, SPCBITS, and OSP Code according to network planning. The OPCs 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, 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 SIGLKSX 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. 6.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
509

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. Expected result: The value of SCCP DSP state is Accessible.
NOTE
You are advised to remove traffic data and then DPCs and OPCs.
1.
Run the BSC6900 MML command RMV N7DPC (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > DSP Of DPU; CME batch modification center: not supported) to remove a DPC.

Configuring Synchronous Ethernet
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-118202 Synchronous Ethernet.
Dependencies on Hardware Impact on BSC6900 hardware: IP interface boards need to be used on the Abis interface. Impact on BTS hardware: This feature applies to only the 3900 series base stations. Dependencies on Other Features The configurations of the features on which this feature depends are complete. This feature depends on the feature GBFD-118601 Abis over IP.
Context
This feature provides a solution for clock synchronization in the all-IP network. The clock of a synchronous Ethernet can be obtained and recovered from the physical layer of the Ethernet. The solution provided by this feature is easy to deploy, as it does not require additional BSC or BTS hardware. The clock synchronization technology adopted by this feature is based on the physical layer of the Ethernet. By using this technology, the clock signals can be retrieved from the code flow of the Ethernet link. With this feature, the data is transmitted at the physical layer by adopting the highly precise clock. The reception end can retrieve and recover the clock directly from the data flow. In this way, the accuracy of the clock is ensured. Another benefit of the feature is that it does not require additional BTS hardware to achieve clock synchronization in the all-IP network.

Configuring Abis over IP
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-118601 Abis over IP.
The BSC configured with the built-in PCU, that means the DPUd or DPUg board is configured. The FG2a, FG2c, FG2d, GOUa, GOUc, or GOUd board is in position. The BTSs that support the Abis over IP transmission mode are as follows: Double-transceiver BTSs configured with the DPTU: BTS3012 and BTS3012A BTS3900 series IP fault detection function based on the BFD The BTS3900B and BTS3900E do not support the IP fault detection function based on Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD). BTS3900 series (excluding the BTS3900B and BTS3900E) must be configured with the GTMUb. Devices interconnected to the BSC must support the BFD function. Built-in firewall Only BTS3900 series (excluding BTS3900B and BTS3900E) support the built-in firewall function. The UTRPc is required for supporting the built-in firewall function. l Dependencies on other features This feature cannot be used with the features GBFD-117801 Ring Topology, GBFD-117301 Flex Abis, GBFD-116601 Abis Bypass, GBFD-116701 16Kbit RSL and OML on Abis Interface, MRFD-210206 Tree Topology, MRFD-210205 Chain Topology, GBFD-113729 Adaptive Transmission Link Blocking and GBFD-119301 Voice Fault Diagnosis together. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
l l
Initial data preparation The global data is configured. For details, see Configuring the Global Information. Other prerequisites When device IP is used in transmission, the BTS is configured with a static route to the device IP of the local BSC.
Context
NOTE
When the layer 2 networking is used on the Abis interface, the BSC and BTS automatically performs the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on links. In this case, the BTS is not allowed to use the device IP address in communication.
With this feature, the BSC is connected to the BTS through a LAN or WAN, depending on the location of the BSC and the BTS. This feature provides FE and GE interfaces and supports the IPv4 protocol. BFD applies to the following scenarios: When the BSC is connected to a peer device (such as a BTS, MGW, or SGSN) through a router, BFD detects whether the router is available. When the BSC is connected to a peer device (such as a BTS, MGW, or SGSN) directly, BFD detects whether the peer device is available. With BFD, IP route reselection is triggered when the gateway or the peer entity is faulty, avoiding continuous packet loss or call drop.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BRD (CME single configuration: Device Panel > Add Board; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add an FG2a, FG2c, FG2d, GOUa, GOUc, or GOUd board.

Prerequisites
Configuring Abis MUX
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-118604 Abis MUX.
The FG2a/FG2c/FG2d/GOUa/GOUc/GOUd/PEUa/POUc board is configured. The BTS supports UDP multiplexing. The configurations of the other features, on which this feature depends, are complete. This feature depends on the feature GBFD-118601 Abis over IP or GBFD-118611 Abis IP over E1/T1. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Context
Abis MUX is used to save the bandwidth and multiplex the packets. The BSC and the BTS serve as transmitting end and receiving end of each other. When Abis MUX is applied, the transmitting end multiplexes the UDP packets that meet the multiplexing requirements. Multiple UDP packets are multiplexed into one IP/UDP header at the transmitting end and then demultiplexed at the receiving end to reconstruct the original data in the IP/UDP packets. Thus, the transmission efficiency is improved and the bandwidth is saved.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD IPMUX (CME single configuration: Abis Configuration Express > IP Transport > IP MUX Pipe; CME batch modification center: not supported) with IP MUX Type set to ABISMUX and Adjacent node ID, IP path ID, and IS QOSPATH set to appropriate values. Exectution of this command aims to add an IP MUX pipe to enable the multiplexing of IP packets.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)

NOTE
142 Configuring Abis MUX
The BSC can assign a value to IP MUX Index by default. This parameter can be set to an appropriate value according to the actual situation. When IS QOSPATH is set to YES(YES), you can specify the PHB type of the IPMUX to be enabled by setting PHB.

143 Configuring Abis IPHC
143
Prerequisites
Configuring Abis IPHC
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-118612 Abis IPHC.
BTS3012 series are configured with the DPTU board. BTS3900 series are configured with the GTMUb board. The BSC6900 is configured with the POUc board. Dependencies on Other Features The feature GBFD-118611 Abis IP over E1/T1 has been configured before this feature is activated. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites If the BTSs communicate with the routers in IP over E1 mode, the IPHC function must be enabled on the routers.
Context
In IP over E1/T1 mode, typical small packets (for example, speech data) of standard IP packets over the Abis interface only account for 50% to 60% of the payload, which indicates low transmission efficiency. This feature can compress IP or UDP headers to increase the payload and save IP transmission resources.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure for Newly Deployed Sites 1. Run the BSC6900 MML commandADD PPPLNK (CME single configuration: A Configuration Express > IP Transport > PPP Link; CME batch modification center: not supported) or ADD MPGRP (CME single configuration: A Configuration Express > IP Transport > MP Group > MP Group; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set Subrack No. and Slot No. to the
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
subrack number and slot number of the POUc and set IP Header Compression to UDP/IP_HC(UDP/IP_HC). 2. Run the BSC6900 MML commandADD BTSPPPLNK (CME single configuration: BTS Configuration Express > BTS Transmission Link > BTS PPP Link; CME batch modification center: not supported) or ADD BTSMPGRP (CME single configuration: BTS Configuration Express > BTS Transmission Link > BTS MP Group; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set IP Header Compression to ENABLE(ENABLE).
NOTE
If the BSC works in IP over FE/GE mode: l Enable IPHC first on the routers, then on the BTSs, but not on the BSC. l Configure the routers to support only the compression of non-TCP packet headers (that is, UDP packet headers).
Activation Procedure for Sites Requiring Adjustment 1. Run the BSC6900 MML commandMOD PPPLNK (CME single configuration: A Configuration Express > IP Transport > PPP Link; CME batch modification center: not supported) or MOD MPGRP (CME single configuration: A Configuration Express > IP Transport > MP Group > MP Group; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set Subrack No. and Slot No. to the subrack number and slot number of the POUc and set IP Header Compression to UDP/IP_HC(UDP/IP_HC).
NOTE
If the BSC works in IP over FE/GE mode: l Enable IPHC first on the routers, then on the BTSs, but not on the BSC. l Configure the routers to support only the compression of non-TCP packet headers (that is, UDP packet headers).
2.
Run the BSC6900 MML commandMOD BTSPPPLNK (CME single configuration: BTS Configuration Express > BTS Transmission Link > BTS PPP Link; CME batch modification center: not supported) or MOD BTSMPGRP (CME single configuration: BTS Configuration Express > BTS Transmission Link > BTS MP Group; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set IP Header Compression to ENABLE(ENABLE).
CAUTION
When you set IP Header Compression in this step, the BTS reinitiates a negotiation with the BSC or router on establishing a PPP link or an MP group. The negotiation may cause no audio or interrupt data transmission for less than 3s. l Verification Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML commandDSP BTSPPPLNK or DSP BTSMPGRP. Expected result: The value of IPHC Negotiation Result reported by the BTS is ENABLE. 2. Observe the traffic during a call. If a BSC communicates with the BTSs based on PPP/MP, the BSC can monitor the transmit flow after Realtime Bandwidth is configured. For details about the
operations, see Monitoring Transmission Resources in BSC6900 LMT User Guide. If a BSC communicates with the BTSs through routers, the transmit flow must be calculated on the transmission equipment. Expected result: Assuming that traffic volume is certain, the transmit flow is less when IP Header Compression on the BTSs is set to ENABLE(ENABLE) than that when IP Header Compression is set to DISABLE(DISABLE). l Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML commandMOD PPPLNK (CME single configuration: A Configuration Express > IP Transport > PPP Link; CME batch modification center: not supported) or MOD MPGRP (CME single configuration: A Configuration Express > IP Transport > MP Group > MP Group; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set Subrack No. and Slot No. to the subrack number and slot number of the POUc and set IP Header Compression to No_HC(No_HC). Run the BSC6900 MML commandMOD BTSPPPLNK (CME single configuration: BTS Configuration Express > BTS Transmission Link > BTS PPP Link; CME batch modification center: not supported) or MOD BTSMPGRP (CME single configuration: BTS Configuration Express > BTS Transmission Link > BTS MP Group; CME batch modification center: not supported).

The FG2a, FG2c, FG2d, GOUa, GOUc, or GOUd board is in position. This feature is mutually exclusive to the feature GBFD-115601 Automatic Level Control (ALC), GBFD-115602 Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), GBFD-115603 Automatic Noise Restraint (ANR), GBFD-115703 Automatic Noise Compensation (ANC), GBFD-115704 Enhancement Packet Loss Concealment (EPLC), GBFD-115701 TFO, GBFD-117701 BSC Local Switch, GBFD-117702 BTS Local Switch, and GBFD-115711 EVAD. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Initial Data Preparation The global data is configured. For details, see Configuring the Global Information. The FG2a, FG2c, FG2d, GOUa, GOUc, or GOUd board is configured. For details, see Configuring a Board. The BSC clock is configured. For details, see Configuring the Clocks. l Other Prerequisites The MSC/MGW suports the A over IP. When device IP is used in transmission, the peer end is configured with a static route to the device IP of the local BSC. When IP fault detection based on BFD is configured, the device connected to the BSC supports BFD.
Context
A over IP supports only the IPv4 protocol.
When A over IP is enabled, the functions of the TCS are taken over by the MGW, and the BSC does not perform transcoding. The A interface uses IP over FE/GE transmission. BFD applies to the following scenarios:When the BSC is connected to a peer device (such as a BTS, MGW, or SGSN) through a router, BFD detects whether the router is available. When the BSC is connected to a peer device (such as a BTS, MGW, or SGSN) directly, BFD detects whether the peer device is available.With BFD, IP route reselection is triggered when the gateway or the peer entity is faulty, thus avoiding continuous packet loss or call drop.

Prerequisites
l
Configuring A Interface Transmission Pool
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-118631 A Interface Transmission Pool. When an Ethernet Layer 3 networking is used, multiple IP interface boards used by the A interface on the BSC form a resource pool and the IP addresses for these interface boards also form a resource pool. Any interface board in the resource pool is accessible to the core network (CN). The BSC selects an IP address from the resource pool for bearing incoming services based on load balancing so that interface boards share resources in the pool.
Dependencies on Other Features This feature depends on the feature GBFD-118602 A over IP. This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-118610 UDP MUX for A Transmission.

See Reconfiguring Networking Mode over the A Interface (TDM->Transmission Resource Pool) in Reconfiguration Guide. l Verification Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML commandDSP ETHPORT to query the port rate and working mode. Expected results: Speed is set to 1000M and Duplex is set to Full. Run the BSC6900 MML commandDSP SRCIPRT to check whether the source IP address is received at and sent from the interface board in a physical slot. If the values of both Number of Packets Sent and Number of Packets Received increase in the same slot, the route priority on the BSC side is consistent with that at the peer end. If the value of Number of Packets Received increases in both active and standby slots, the wrongly configured equal-cost route between the router and the BSC must be replaced with a route in active/standby mode. If the slot where the value of Number of Packets Received increases is different from the slot where the value of Number of Packets Sent increases, the route priorities on the BSC and the peer route are inconsistent and therefore must be corrected. 3. Check Ping-related alarms. None of the alarms ALM-21392 Adjacent Node IP Address Ping Failure, ALM-21393 Adjacent Node IP Path Ping Failure, and ALM-21394 Transmission Resource Pool Ping Packet Loss is reported. Run the BSC6900 MML commandDSP IPPOOL to check whether the settings of Send bit rate of the port[bps], Receive bit rate of the port[bps], Send bit rate load of the board, Receive bit rate load of the board, Send packets load of the board, and Receive packets load of the board for outgoing ports using source IP addresses in the transmission resource pool are balanced.

Prerequisites
l l l
Configuring Satellite Transmission over Abis Interface
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-113901 Satellite Transmission over Abis Interface. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features This feature cannot be used with the following feature: GBFD-510104 Multi-site Cell. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Other Prerequisites The cell to be verified is in the normal state and has idle channels. To ensure the normal processing of PS services in satellite transmission mode, the GPRS parameters related to a PS cell need to be set as follows: T3168 is set to 1000ms, T3192 to 1000ms, and BS_CV_MAX to 15.
Context
TDM or IP transmission is used over the Abis interface. Using satellite transmission over the Abis interface enables operators to deploy BTSs in areas that are difficult to reach through conventional terrestrial transmission, therefore solving the communication problem in these areas. Compared with terrestrial transmission, the information exchange latency is prolonged in satellite transmission. Satellite transmission with limited transmission bandwidth for BTS3900B (a pico base station) only supports CS services. The method of configuring satellite transmission over the Abis interface for BTS3900B is different from that for other BTSs.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)

(Optional) Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCBASIC. In this step, set MS MAX Retrans to an appropriate value.
NOTE
5.
Setting MS MAX Retrans to a larger value increases the radio access rate and setting MS MAX Retrans to a smaller value lightens the load of the RACH and SDCCH.
6. 7.

Configuring Satellite Transmission over A Interface
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-113902 Satellite Transmission over A Interface.
Dependencies on Hardware The EIUa/OIUa/POUc board is configured. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Other Prerequisites The initial configuration of the BSC is complete. The cell to be verified is in the normal state and has idle channels.
Context
Satellite transmission can be applied on the A interface in situations where terrestrial transmission cannot be established between the BSC and MSC (for example, in sites where an emergency situation occurs temporarily or in scenarios where satellite works as a backup transmission means). If satellite transmission is applied over the A interface, you are advised to configure satellite transmission over the Ater interface.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD AE1T1 (CME single configuration: A Configuration Express > TDM Transport > A Interface E1/T1; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add an E1/T1 link on the A interface.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)

NOTE
An EIUa board provides 32 E1s/T1s. Each E1 has thirty-two 64 kbit/s timeslots. Each T1 has twenty-five 64 kbit/s timeslots. Each timeslot corresponds to a CIC. For example, if Start CIC of the first E1/T1 is 0, then Start CIC of the second E1/T1 must belong to a CIC group that is different from the CIC group of Start CIC of the first configured E1/T1. Here, if E1 is used, Start CIC of the second E1 must be greater than 31. If T1 is used, Start CIC of the second T1 must be greater than 24.

Configuring RAN Sharing
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-118701 RAN Sharing.
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features The GBFD-118702 MOCN Shared Cell feature is mutually exclusive with the RAN Sharing feature. The GBFD-118106 Dynamic Power Sharing feature is mutually exclusive with the RAN Sharing feature. The GBFD-114402 Enhanced Dual-Band Network feature is mutually exclusive with the RAN Sharing feature. The GBFD-510104 Multi-site Cell is mutually exclusive with the RAN Sharing feature.
Other Prerequisites The BSC supports service processing board sharing by multiple operators. Operators that share the BSC do not have their respective service processing boards. The MSCs of different operators use the same signaling system No. 7 (SS7) rate. RAN Sharing supports a maximum of four operators, including the primary operator. RAN Sharing supports a maximum of four CBCs. The DPC of the SS7 signaling and the total number of SGSNs remain unchanged after RAN Sharing is enabled. The devices of all operators are connected to the same M2000, and the information about all alarms and performance counters can be viewed on the M2000. Such information is not displayed on a per operator basis. The BSC clock of one operator is used as the reference clock for other operators. Operators ensure the clock synchronization among their MSCs.

If a network service entity (NSE) and a cell belong to different operators, a packet pointto-point BSSGP virtual connection (PTP BVC) cannot be configured between the NSE and the cell.
Context
The RAN sharing function allows multiple operators with independent core networks to share GBSS network resources, such as BSC, BTS, antenna, and transmission devices. A single cell under a site provides services for only one operator, and different cells under a site provide services for multiple operators.

Configuring MOCN Shared Cell
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-118702 MOCN Shared Cell.
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features The features GBFD-117401 MSC Pool and GBFD-119701 SGSN Pool have been configured before this feature is activated. GBFD-118701 RAN Sharing is mutually exclusive with the MOCN Shared Cell feature. GBFD-117501 Enhanced Measurement Report (EMR) is mutually exclusive with the MOCN Shared Cell feature. The single-user dynamic measurement function in the GBFD-117002 IBCA (Interference Based Channel Allocation) feature is mutually exclusive with the neighboring cell filtering function in the MOCN Shared Cell feature.
Other Prerequisites If MS routing is determined by the CN, the list of VLRs in which an MS is allowed to roam needs to be configured on the HLR, or the list of LAIs in which an MS is allowed to roam needs to be configured on the MSC server. Operator have enabled the features MSC Pool and SGSN Pool in their networks. MSCs or SGSNs that belong to different operators are configured with different Network Resource Indication (NRI) values with the same length. It is recommended that CNs of different operators use the same transmission over the A or Gb interface to connect the shared BSC. The Abis transmission bandwidth is shared by all operators in a network with MOCN Shared Cell enabled.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
576
To resolve the incorrect network name display on MSs, MSs support the Network Identity and Time Zone (NITZ) feature. The equivalent PLMN function is recommended on the CN side. In scenarios where an MOCN cell is adjacent to a private cell, if these two cells correspond to different PLMNs, enabling the equivalent PLMN function prevents subscribers from periodically reselecting to the PLMN corresponding to the private cell after these subscribers access the MOCN cell and therefore reduces the power consumption of the MS.
Context
The BSS sharing function enables multiple operators to share BSS equipment on a per BTS basis while using their respective core network (CN) equipment. With this feature, different operators cannot share the same cell. The MOCN shared cell function, however, enables multiple operators to share BSS equipment on a per cell basis while using their respective CN equipment. Table 156-1 Data preparation Parameter Name MOCN Switch Remarks (Configuration Principle for Different Scenarios) If this parameter is set to CNSEL (CN Select), the proportion of subscribers distributed in the network of each operator is determined by the CN. If this parameter is set to BSCSEL (BSC Select), the proportion of subscribers distributed in the network of each operator is determined by the BSC. N/A N/A N/A N/A Data Source Engineering design

Parameter ID MNC
Remarks (Configuration Principle for Different Scenarios) You are advised to set this parameter to a new public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier. Currently, only one PLMN identifier can be broadcast in a GSM cell. If the PLMN identifiers for two operators are 25001 and 25002 respectively, the PLMN identifier to be broadcast in a shared GSM network with MOCN Shared Cell enabled can either be the new one (for example, 25003) or an old one (25001 or 25002). Whether to use the new PLMN identifier depends on whether the forbidden PLMN list EFFPLMN is available in the SIM cards of served subscribers. If the forbidden PLMN list is available in SIM cards of subscribers served by an operator and the PLMN identifier of the other operator is contained in the list, the new PLMN identifier must be used. For example, if 25002 is contained in the forbidden PLMN list in the SIM cards of the operator whose PLMN identifier is 25001, 25002 must not be used as the new PLMN identifier to be broadcast. Otherwise, MSs that use the PLMN identifier 25001 cannot access any service because they will never register with PLMNs whose identifier is 25002.

N(U) in Attach Request
ModifyAttReqNu
The N(U) value needs to be modified for rerouting an Attach Request message. The value of this parameter is determined by the SGSN connected to the BSC. If the N(U) value in an Attach Request message does not need to be modified, set this parameter to 512. Setting this parameter to 512 means that the N(U) value in an Attach Request message cannot be modified.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Configure the BSC data by referring to BSC6900 GSM Initial Configuration Guide. a. When configuring operator information for the BSC, all BSC-shared secondary operators must be configured. The MSC Pool and SGSN Pool features must be enabled. When configuring destination signaling points (DSPs), all DSPs of the BSC must be configured. In IP transmission mode, when configuring M3UA destination entities, all M3UA destination entities of the BSC must be configured. When configuring the A and Gb interfaces, the A and Gb interface data for all operators must be configured. It is recommended that CNs of different operators use the same transmission over the A or Gb interface to connect the shared BSC. When configuring CN nodes, all CN nodes used by each operator must be configured.

l l l
Configuring IMSI-Based Handover
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-118703 IMSI-Based Handover.
Dependency on Hardware A test MS (MS1) is available and its IMSI is recorded. Dependency on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Others The Common Id and Handover Request messages sent by the MSC need to carry IMSI. A BTS is configured with two test cells (CELL1 and CELL2) of the same operator. These cells are in the normal state and support the GPRS function. Idle channels are available in CELL1. CELL1 and CELL2 are neighboring cells of each other. The two cells are in different location areas.
Context
According to the network planning and service requirements, an operator can divide the network into multiple areas (called handover shared areas) and restrict the service area of an MS by configuring the mapping between the IMSI range and the handover shared area.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET OTHSOFTPARA (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > Software Parameter Configuration > Other Software Parameters of BSC; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches). In this step, set IMSI Handover Switch to YES(Yes).

In this step, set IMSI Segment Index, Description of the IMSI segment, Start IMSI value, and End IMSI value according to the actual situation (assume that IMSI of MS1 is within the configured IMSI segment). Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD SHA (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > Handover Sharing Area; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add a handover shared area. In this step, set Handover Sharing Area, Operator Name, and Handover Sharing Area Description according to the actual situation (assume that Operator Name is the name of the operator of CELL1). Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD SHALAMAP (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > Mapping Between Handover Sharing Area and Location Area; CME batch modification center: not supported) to configure the mapping between a handover shared area and a location area. In this step, set Handover Sharing Area Record Index, Handover Sharing Area, MCC, MNC, and Cell LAC according to the actual situation (assume that MCC, MNC, and Cell LAC are those of CELL2). Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD IMSISHAMAP (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > IMSI Support Handover Area; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add an IMSI-supported handover area. In this step, set IMSI Index of Handover Sharing Area Record, Handover Sharing Area, and IMSI Segment Index according to the settings specified in Step 2 and Step 3. MS1 camps on CELL1 to call a fixed-line phone. The call is set up successfully. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD G2GNCELL. In this step, set Index Type (Not required on the CME) to BYID(By index), Source Cell Index to the index of CELL1, and Neighbor 2G Cell Index to the index of CELL2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET FHO. In this step, set Object Type to CELL (Cell), Handover Scope to OUTCELL(Outgoing cell), and Cell Index or Cell Name to the index or name of CELL1. On the LMT, start the message tracing over the Abis interface by referring to Tracing CS Domain Messages on the Abis Interface. Select RSL in the Trace Type area. On the RSL tab page, set Cell ID(cell1,cell2,...cell16) to those of CELL1 and CELL2. Then, click Submit. The Abis Interface CS Trace message interface is displayed. Run steps 1 through 5 to enable the MS to perform a handover from CELL1 to CELL2. Expected result: If idle channels are unavailable in CELL2, the CS tracing messages on the Abis interface of CELL1 indicate that handover cannot be performed and measurement reports are reported continuously. If an idle channel is available in CELL2, the CS tracing messages on the Abis interface of CELL2 indicate that the incoming internal inter-cell handover procedure for MS1 is performed properly and measurement reports are reported normally.

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. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependencies on Hardware Only the BTS3900B and BTS3900E support this feature. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Other Prerequisites The matching version of the M2000 is available. The initial parameters required for BTS automatic planning algorithm are set in online mode through the M2000 client. Automatic frequency optimization tasks are created by using the M2000.
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 automatically connect to the BSC 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. l 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 Product Documentation. If the BSC version is V900R012 or later, 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. In the BSC version is V900R014 or later, the M2000 determines the location where a BTS in automatic planning mode is installed, avoiding using the BTS in a location that the operator does not allow.
Procedure
l Activation procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSAUTOPLAN to establish the BTS in automatic planning mode. The established BTS is enabled with the automatic planning feature by default. The automatic planning algorithm switch and automatic optimization algorithm switch are set to ON.
NOTE
l The established BTS that is in automatic planning mode enables the automatic planning feature automatically when it is powered on for the first time. If the first automatic planning scan succeeds, the BTS does not enable the automatic planning feature automatically after the BTS is powered off again or reset. If the site data needs to be planned 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 then set BTS Configuration Mode to AUTO. l For the BTS3900E, set BTS Type to BTS3900E_GSM(BTS3900E GSM), and set Freq. and BSIC Plan Switch and Freq. and BSIC Optimize Switch to ON(ON). Then, run the BSC6900 MML command RST AUTOPLAN to plan the site data automatically. l For the BTS3900B, set BTS Type to BTS3900B_GSM(BTS3900B GSM), and set Freq. and BSIC Plan Switch, CGI and RAC Plan Switch, and Neighbor Cell Plan Switch to ON(ON). Then, run the BSC6900 MML command RST AUTOPLAN to plan the site data automatically.

l If the CGIs of all neighboring cells under the BTS are changed, run the BSC6900 MML command RST AUTOPLAN to restart auto planning for the BTS. In this step. set Relocation Allowed During Replanning to YES(YES). Otherwise, the M2000 determines that the BTS location is changed because all neighboring cells under this BTS are changed, causing an automatic planning failure. l If a BTS in automatic planning mode is relocated to an area with neighboring cells from an area without neighboring cells, the M2000 fails to determine the BTS location. However, the BTS can access the network properly during automatic planning. l If a BTS in automatic planning mode is relocated to an area without neighboring cells from an area with neighboring cells, run the BSC6900 MML command RST AUTOPLAN to restart auto planning for the BTS. In this step. set Relocation Allowed During Replanning to YES(YES). Otherwise, the M2000 determines that the BTS location is changed because all neighboring cells under this BTS are changed, causing an automatic planning failure. 3. l 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command ACT BTS to activate a BTS. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST BTSAUTOPLANCFG to check whether BTS Configuration Mode is set to ON(ON). Optional: If the location control function for a BTS in automatic planning mode is required, run the BSC6900 MML command LST BTSAUTOPLANCFG to check whether Relocation Restricted is set to ON(ON). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSAUTOPLANCFG. In this step, set BTS Configuration Mode to NORMAL(NORMAL).

Configuring PICO Dual-band Autoplanning
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-510603 PICO Dual-band Auto-planning. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependency on Hardware This feature is supported by only the BTS3900B. Dependency on Other Features None License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
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 Product Documentation. l 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.
NOTE
l The added BTS3900B 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 BTS3900B 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(AUTOPLAN). Then, set the related auto-planning algorithm switch, auto-optimization algorithm switch and Frequency Band Adaptation Allowed switch according to the actual conditions. Then, Run the BSC6900 MML command RST AUTOPLAN to plan the site data automatically. The Frequency Band Adaptation Allowed switch has impacts on the auto-planning result. Operators can determine whether to enable the switch according to the actual conditions. For details, see the following note. l Operators can select appropriate planning modes to perform auto-planning according to the actual conditions. The BTS3900B supports the following planning modes: l If the BTS3900B is configured with one or two TRXs in band A, the Frequency Band Adaptation Allowed switch is invalid. The M2000 plans the BTS3900B as the O1 or O2 site in band A according to the number of configured TRXs. l If the BTS3900B is configured with two TRXs and the two TRXs are in band A and band B respectively, the BTS3900B will scan the frequencies of band A and band B. 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.

License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Other Prerequisites 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 Product Documentation.

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-510702 Compact BTS Automatic Capacity Planning. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependency on Hardware This feature is supported by only the Compact BTS. Dependency on Other Features None License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Other Prerequisites The initial parameters required for BTS auto-planning algorithm are set in online mode through the M2000 client. Before this feature is configured, the BTS has performed automatic configuration and planning. The automatic optimization task of the GSM BTS is created on the M2000 client before the feature is activated. For details, see the M2000 Product Documentation.
Context
l l l The Compact BTS Automatic Capacity Planning feature is license-controlled. The compact BTS refers to BTS3900E. According to the traffic volume, the BSC adjusts the output power of the TRX in real time to achieve the balance between capacity and coverage of the network. A cell is initially configured with one TRX of 30 W power. With the increase of the traffic volume, another TRX in the cell is automatically activated, and thus these two TRXs share the 30 W power.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)

Configuring Compact BTS
Prerequisites
l l l Dependencies on Hardware This feature is supported by only the BTS3900E. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l 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 l l The Compact BTS Automatic Neighbor Cell Planning and Optimization feature is licensecontrolled. 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. l 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. l The Automatic Neighbor Cell Planning and Optimization feature can improve network quality, increase handover success rate, and reduce call drop rate automatically, 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 Product Documentation.
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(AUTOPLAN). Then, set Neighbor Cell Plan Switch to ON(ON). Then, Run the BSC6900 MML command RST AUTOPLAN command to plan the site data automatically.

172 Configuring PBT

Prerequisites
Configuring PBT
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115901 Power Boost Technology (PBT).
DTRU, DRFU, and RRU3004 support this feature. When a double-transceiver TRX board uses PBT, only channel 0 is configured with one carrier. This feature does not depend on other features. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Context
PBT aims to increase the downlink transmit power to extend network coverage. In PBT mode, only one carrier is configured for a double-transceiver TRX board. A signal transmitted from the carrier is modulated and then converted into a radio frequency (RF) signal, known as DA conversion. Then, the RF signal is transmitted to two power amplifiers (PAs). After being amplified, the two signals are combined and output. The transmit power is increased because the two signals are aligned accurately. This increases downlink signal strength. PBT is applicable to wide coverage areas.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXDEV (CME single configuration: TRX Configuration Express > Site TRX Dev Property > Site TRX Dev Property; CME batch modification center: 3.22 Modifying GSM TRX Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Send Mode to PBT(PBT).
NOTE
In PBT mode, the single carrier must be configured on channel 0.

Configuring Transmit Diversity
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115902 Transmit Diversity (TD).
Dependencies on Hardware The following base stations support this feature: BTS3006C, BTS3002E, BTS3012 (DTRU), BTS3012AE(DTRU), DBS3900(modules except RRU3926), BTS3900 (DRFU/MRFUd), BTS3900A(DRFU/MRFUd), BTS3900L(DRFU/MRFUd), and BTS3900AL(DRFU/MRFUd). When a double-transceiver TRX board uses TD, only channel 0 is configured with one carrier. The cell where TD is applied has at least one dual-polarized antenna or two singlepolarized antennas.
Dependencies on Other Features This feature is mutually exclusive with the following features: GBFD-113701 Frequency Hopping (baseband hopping), GBFD-113703 Antenna Frequency Hopping and GBFD-510104 Multi-site Cell. This feature is mutually exclusive with the following feature when multi-carrier RRU dynamic TX diversity is used: GBFD-118106 Dynamic Power Sharing(Dual PA power sharing)
Context
In TD mode, one baseband signal is transmitted through two radio frequency (RF) channels. This prevents signal levels from changing dramatically and also prevents signal quality from dropping since there is no correlation between two antennas. As an effect of this, service quality for users that move at a low speed is improved and the downlink network coverage is expanded. To sum up, TD improves the downlink signal quality and meets the requirements of high signal quality in some special areas. The following procedure illustrates how to configure TD for the DRRU on a GSM DBS3900.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSRXUBP (CME single configuration: BTS Device Panel > RXU Topology > Right click RXU Board > RXU Board Porperties > RUX board Parameters; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set DRRU Sending Receiving Mode to DOUBLE_ANTENNA(Double Feeder[2TX+2RX]). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXDEV (CME single configuration: TRX Configuration Express > Site TRX Dev Property > Site TRX Dev Property; CME batch modification center: 3.22 Modifying GSM TRX Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Send Mode to DIVERSITY(Transmit Diversity). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXDEV. In this step, set Send Mode to NONE(None). Use an optical power meter to measure the power of the test base station, and record the measurement result. Expected result: The power is 0. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSRXUBP. In this step, set DRRU Sending Receiving Mode to DOUBLE_ANTENNA(Double Feeder[2TX+2RX]). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXDEV. In this step, set Send Mode to DIVERSITY(Transmit Diversity). Use an optical power meter to measure the power of channel B, and record the measurement result. Expected result: The power is not 0, which indicates that TD has taken effect.

Configuring 4-Way Receiver Diversity
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115903 4-Way Receiver Diversity. The 4-way receive diversity combines 4-way receive signals to optimize the quality of uplink signals.
Dependencies on Hardware The following base stations support this feature: BTS3006C, BTS3002E, BTS3012 (DTRU), BTS3012AE(DTRU), BTS3900(DRFU), BTS3900A(DRFU), BTS3900L (DRFU), and BTS3900AL(DRFU). A DTRU board that adopts the 4-way receive diversity technique can be configured with only one carrier. The cell has two dual-polarized antennas or four single-polarized antennas.
l l
Context
The 4-way receive diversity enables signals from four directions to be transmitted to a single carrier simultaneously. The carrier then combines these 4-way receive signals to improve uplink receive sensitivity. In this way, this technique optimizes the quality of uplink signals to meet the demanding requirements for radio communications in certain cases and to improve the uplink performance in wide network coverage scenarios. The following procedures assume that the 4-way receive diversity is configured for two associated DRFUs of a BTS3900.

This feature is mutually exclusive with the following features: GBFD-113701 Frequency Hopping (baseband hopping), GBFD-113703 Antenna Frequency Hopping and GBFD-510104 Multi-site Cell. This feature is mutually exclusive with the following feature when multi-carrier RRU dynamic TX diversity is used: GBFD-118106 Dynamic Power Sharing(Dual PA power sharing)
Context
In dynamic transmit diversity mode, the transmit diversity technique is applied to two carriers' same timeslots only. The two carriers belong to a double-transceiver TRX board. After these timeslots are released, they stop using the transmit diversity technique to transmit signals. The dynamic transmit diversity technique makes full use of idle timeslots, improves signal quality in rural areas, and strikes a balance between system capacity and network coverage by dynamically adjusting network coverage or system capacity according to the actual situation in the live network.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCHMGBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Channel Management > Basic Channel Management Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches).

l You can Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GTRXIUO (CME single configuration: TRX Configuration Express > Hw_concentric Attribute > Hw_concentric Attribute) to query the attributes of TRXs in the overlaid subcell. l If the dynamic transmit diversity technique is to be applied to a DTRU, two carriers must be configured and the technique must not be applied to the BCCH carrier.
Verification Procedure 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOIUO. In this step, set Assign Optimum Layer to SysOpt(System optimization). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXADMSTAT. In this step, set Administrative State to Lock(Lock) for carriers except the BCCH carrier and those carriers whose send mode is DDIVERSITY(Dynamic Transmit Diversity).
CAUTION
Setting Administrative State for the TRX to Lock(Lock) may causes congestion in the cell where the TRX is located. 3. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXCHANADMSTAT. In this step, set Administrative State to Lock(Lock) for the TCH of the BCCH carrier.
CAUTION
Setting Administrative State for the TCH of main BCCH carrier to Lock(Lock) may causes congestion in the cell where the TRX is located. 4. Monitor the status of the TCH by referring to Monitoring Channel Status, and use an MS to make a call.
NOTE
A TCH in the overlaid subcell is assigned to the MS only when the uplink receive level of the SDCCH meets the following conditions: The difference between the assign-optimum-level threshold and the PBT gain is smaller than the SDCCH uplink receive level. The SDCCH uplink receive level is smaller than the assign-optimum-level threshold. The default assign-optimumlevel threshold is 35 while the default PBT gain is 4. You can change the assign-optimum-level threshold according to the SDCCH uplink receive level to enable the system to assign a channel to the overlaid subcell. In this way, dynamic transmit diversity can be triggered.

GBFD-117002 IBCA, GBFD-117001 Flex MAIO, GBFD-114001 Extended Cell, and GBFD-510104 Multi-site Cell. If the Dynamic Power Sharing feature has been enabled in a cell, you do not need to enable the GBFD-117602 Active Power Control feature because the Dynamic Power Sharing feature contains all of its functions. If power control parameters are not properly set, there will be a high percentage of high signal levels. When this occurs, network performance will not be improved even if Dynamic Power Sharing is enabled and the number of peak clipping attempts is minimized. Therefore, set downlink power control parameters to appropriate values and enable the GBFD-114801 Discontinuous Transmission (DTX)-Downlink function before enabling Dynamic Power Sharing. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites Dependency on frequency bands and cells: All activated TRXs of a multi-transceiver unit must work on the same frequency band and must be configured in the same cell. In the case of a concentric cell, all activated TRXs must be configured in the underlaid or overlaid subcell. Restriction on PS channel allocation: If the remaining power of the timeslot of a PS channel is lower than the maximum transmit power of the TRX, the channel cannot be converted into a packet data channel (PDCH). Restriction on cell configuration: To avoid cell congestion and enhance network performance after this feature is enabled, the Channel Assign Allow for Insuff Power parameter must be set to YES(Yes) and the recommended value of the C/I Estimate Value parameter is 10 dB. Restriction on TRX configuration: The percentage of stand-alone dedicated control channels (SDCCHs) and PDCHs must be less than or equal to 30% the total number of channels in a cell. It is recommended that static PDCHs be configured on BCCH carriers and only one SDCCH be configured on each timeslot.
Context
With this feature, the transmit power of a TRX can be improved if the transmit power of the TRX cannot meet the actual requirements. In addition, if the total transmit power of TRXs in a TRX group exceeds the transmit power threshold of the TRX group, calls with different power requirements are grouped into different timeslots to ensure that the total power of the same timeslot on the TRX group does not exceed the transmit power threshold. Therefore, this feature decreases the number of peak clippings and improves the network performance.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure for Single- or Dual-PA Power Sharing 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCHMGAD (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Channel Management > Advanced Channel Management Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Multi-Density TRX Power Sharing to DYNAMIC(Dynamic power sharing).

Property; CME batch modification center: 3.22 Modifying GSM TRX Parameters in Batches) to improve the transmit power of the TRX. In this step, set Power Type based on the network plan. l Activation Procedure for Inter-Module Power Sharing The procedure for configuring inter-module power sharing for the GRFU is the same as that for the MRFU. The following uses the MRFU as an example to describe how to configure inter-module power sharing. 1. Deploy a BTS on the BSC6900. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSRXUBRD (CME single configuration: BTS Device Panel > Board > BTS RXU Board; CME batch modification center: not supported) set Power Class based on your individual needs. If an MRFU V1 is deployed, set Power Class to CLASS0 or CLASS2. Otherwise, set Power Class to CLASS0, CLASS1, or CLASS2. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GTRX (CME single configuration: BTS Topology > Right click Cell > ADD TRX). Perform subsequent configuration operations on power sharing based on the query results. Example result:
TRX ID 24 25 2000 2001 2002 22 23 2004 2005 Freq. 35 45 49 71 40 75 80 65 30 TRX No. 3 4 0 1 2 8 9 6 5 Subrack No. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 Slot No. 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 TRX Board Pass No. 3 4 0 1 2 3 4 5 2
2.
Configure five carriers for the BCCH TRX module and four carriers for another TRX module. Then, perform power sharing on the two TRX modules. 3. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSRXUBP (CME single configuration: BTS Device Panel > RXU Topology > Right click RXU Board > RXU Board Porperties > RUX board Parameters; CME batch modification center: not supported) to enable inter-module power sharing. In this step, set Associated Board Function to POWERSHARING(Power Sharing Between Boards) and other parameters to appropriate values. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXDEV (CME single configuration: TRX Configuration Express > Site TRX Dev Property > Site TRX Dev Property; CME batch modification center: 3.22 Modifying GSM TRX Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Power Type for each TRX module in the cell to an appropriate value and ensure that the maximum output power of each TRX module is higher than the output power required for enabling this feature. Log in to the M2000 client, choose Performance > Query Result. Click New Query in the display window. Then, the New Query dialog box is displayed. Choose BSC6900 GSM > BTSM Measurement > TRX State Measurement per TRX to check the values of counters such as The total BURST count cut 0.5dB power, The total BURST count cut 1.0dB power, The total BURST count cut 1.5dB power, and The total BURST count cut 2.0dB power before and after this feature is activated. The expected result: After this feature is activated, the probability of peak clipping for timeslots is decreased.
4.

NOTE
When the transmit power of all the calls on a timeslot of a TRX group is greater than the maximum transmit power of the BTS, the BTS decreases the power of all the calls to ensure its normal operation. Number of Timeslots with Power Decreased provides the number of timeslots whose transmit power is decreased.
Deactivation Procedure for Single- or Dual-PA Power Sharing 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCHMGAD (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Channel Management > Advanced Channel Management Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) to set Multi-Density TRX Power Sharing to NONE(None). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSRXUBP (CME single configuration: BTS Device Panel > RXU Topology > Right click RXU Board > RXU Board Porperties > RUX board Parameters; CME batch modification center: not supported) to stop inter-module power sharing. In this step, set Associated Board Function to OFF(OFF) and other parameters to appropriate values.

Other Prerequisites The cell is configured.
Context
l l When tight frequency reuse is adopted, the concentric cell technology can be used to avoid or reduce radio interference and therefore to ensure 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 therefore it becomes the primary traffic bearer layer. The OL subcell aims to absorb most subscribers in the concentric cell. The UL subcell aims to provide services for areas that are not covered by the OL subcell.

Other Prerequisites The BTS supports the configured frequency band.
Context
Co-BCCH cell increases the traffic capacity of a cell, reduces handovers and interference, and supports 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 to be work at DCS1800M, then the underlaid subcell must be configured to be work at GSM900M or GSM850M.

Configuring Enhanced Dual-Band Network
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-114402 Enhanced Dual-Band Network.
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 logically form 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 can be balanced between the two cells in a cell group.
NOTE
l If the two cells belong to different operators, an enhanced dual-band network cannot be configured. l Before changing the relationships between the cells and the operator, check whether an enhanced dualband network is configured. If an enhanced dual-band network is configured, modify the parameters for the enhanced dual-band network.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. A GSM900 cell and a DCS1800 cell are configured in the BSS. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD G2GNCELL (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration

Express > Neighboring Cell > BSC 2G Neighbor Cell; CME batch modification center: not supported) to configure the GSM900 cell as a unidirectional neighboring 2G cell of the DCS1800 cell. Repeat Step 1 to configure the DCS1800 cell as a unidirectional neighboring 2G cell of the GSM900 cell, so that the two cells are configured as bidirectional neighboring cells of each other. Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD GCELL (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Cell Attributes > GSM CELL; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) to modify the parameters for the GSM900 cell. In this step, set Cell IUO Type to EDB_cell(Enhanced Double Frequency Cell), Cell Inner/Extra Property to Extra(Extra), Same Group Cell Index Type (Not required on the CME) to BYID(By Index), and Same Group Cell Index to the index of the DCS1800 cell.
Verification Procedure Verify the call access function in the enhanced dual-band network by performing the following operations: 1. 2. 3. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCBASIC. In this step, set ECSC to YES(Yes). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA. In this step, set Directed Retry of the two cells to YES(Yes). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOEDBPARA to set the parameters for 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 both 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 MS1 and MS2 (both supporting the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz frequency bands) camp on the GSM900 cell. Then, use MS1 to make a call to a fixed-line phone. MS1 is assigned a channel in the GSM900 cell. Maintain the call of MS1 and use MS2 to make a call to a fixed-line phone in the GSM900 cell. MS2 is assigned a channel in 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 a channel in the overlaid subcell when the traffic in the underlaid subcell is heavy and the signals in the overlaid subcell are strong enough. Terminate the calls. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOEDBPARA to set the parameters for 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 for the DCS1800 cell. In this step, set Min Power Level For Directed Retry to 0. Make MS1 camp on the DCS1800 cell and make a call. MS1 is assigned a channel in 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 a channel in the underlaid subcell when the traffic in the underlaid subcell is light.

Verify the handover in the enhanced dual-band network by performing the following operations:
1.
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOBASIC. In this step, set the parameters for enabling each 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 for 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 MS1 camp on the DCS1800 cell and make a call to a fixed-line phone. MS1 is assigned a channel in the overlaid subcell. Then, MS1 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. Keep the call alive. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOEDBPARA to set the parameters for 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. Keep the call alive. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOEDBPARA to set the parameters for 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 NO(No), Load HO of OL Subcell to UL Subcell to NO(No), 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). MS1 is handed over to the GSM900 cell because the receive level of MS1 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.

This type of edge handover requires that the underlaid subcell is more preferably selected as the target cell for handover than the overlaid subcell. You can adjust the levels of the overlaid subcell and underlaid subcell, so that the level of the underlaid subcell is higher than the level of the overlaid subcell.
Deactivation Procedure 1.

Configuring Flex MAIO
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-117001 Flex Mobile Allocation Index Offset (MAIO).
The BTS3900B does not support this feature. Dependencies on Other Features The configurations of the other 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 features GBFD-117002 IBCA, GBFD-118106 Dynamic Power Sharing and GBFD-115830 VAMOS. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites Frame offset is not configured for the BTS. A cell is configured for frequency hopping, and the MAs list 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 therefore improves the system capacity.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
667
CAUTION
l PS services provided by an external PCU do not support dynamic MAIO. 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. Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD GCELL (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Cell Attributes > GSM CELL; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) with Start Flex MAIO Switch and HSN Modification Switch set to ON(On). Trace RSL signaling over the Abis interface for cells with Flex MAIO enabled. Select the same timeslot on the same TRX board from the RSL signaling at different time points. Compare MAIOs allocated to channels at different time points. Expected result: The Flex MAIO feature is enabled when the MAIOs allocated to channels at different time points are different, as shown in the Figure 183-1 and Figure 183-2. Figure 183-1 MAIO IE 1

Prerequisites
Configuring ICC
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115801 ICC.
Currently, the following BTSs support ICC: the BTS3012, BTS3012AE, BTS3006C, BTS3002E, BTS3900E GSM, BTS3900 GSM, BTS3900A GSM, BTS3900L GSM, BTS3900AL GSM and DBS3900 GSM. This feature does not depend on other features. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
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. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GCELLSOFT (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Software Parameter and Reserved Parameter > Software Parameters of Cell), In this step, Set Interference Cancel Mode Selection to ICC(ICC). Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GCELLSOFT, to query the value of Interference Cancel Mode Selection.

Configuring EICC
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-115821 EICC.
The BTS3012 that uses the QTRU, BTS3012AE that uses the QTRU, BTS3900E, and BTS3900B do not support the feature. The RRU3008 V1 and RRU3908 V1 do not support the feature when they are configured with more than four carriers. It is recommended that this feature be used together with the features GBFD-118201 Soft-Synchronized Network and GBFD-510401 BTS GPS Synchronization. This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-510101 Automatic Frequency Correction (AFC). l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Context
l The interference between signals received by multiple antennas has both spatial correlation and temporal correlation: co-channel interference (CCI) and intersymbol interference (ISI). 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-tonoise ratio (SNR) criteria. In this way, EICC achieves better uplink signals. EICC requires the matrix of interference, which is calculated on the basis of the training sequence of desired signals. For each receive signal, the network estimates a channel model based on the training sequence of the signal, reconstructs the desired signal, and subtracts the desired signal from the receive signal to obtain the interference signal. By doing so, the network estimates the matrix of each interference signal and analyzes the statistical dependency of these interference signals. Based on the statistical dependency, some
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
interference is eliminated during the combination of receive signals to maximize combination gains.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLSOFT (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Software Parameter and Reserved Parameter > Software Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) to enable EICC for a cell. In this step, set EICC Allowed to YES(Yes).
NOTE
l Enable the adaptive diversity combining function by setting Interference Cancel Mode Adaptation to ON(On). This function checks whether the existing call is in an interferencelimited or noise-limited scenario. If the call is in an interference-limited scenario, the BTS uses EICC. If the call is in a noise-limited scenario, the BTS uses MRC. l Enhance the correctness of the adaptive diversity combining function scenario detection by setting Enhanced Interference Cancel Mode Adaptation to ON(On).
Verification Procedure 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GCELLSOFT to query the value of EICC Allowed. Perform an FTP upload in a live network with interference. Then, check 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 a live network with interference. Then, check the counters related to uplink receive quality on the M2000 in the following way: Choose Performance > Query Result from 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 this counter 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, indicating that the speech quality is good. If the EICC function is disabled, the proportion is low, indicating that the speech quality is poor. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLSOFT (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Software Parameter and Reserved Parameter > Software Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) to disable EICC for a cell. In this step, set EICC Allowed to NO(No).

Configuring BCCH Carrier Frequency Hopping
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-113702 BCCH Carrier Frequency Hopping. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependencies on Hardware The BTS3900B does not support this feature. Dependencies on Other Features The feature GBFD-113701 Frequency Hopping (baseband hopping) has been configured before this feature is activated. This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-113701 Frequency Hopping (RF hopping).
Context
Frequency hopping (FH) can simplify frequency planning, reduce interference, improve voice quality, and increase system capacity. When PS services use higher order coding schemes such as CS3, CS4, and MCS-5 through MCS-9, the application of FH has a negative impact on the PS services. In this case, enabling FH is not recommended. When the cell activation state is Active, BCCH carrier FH can be activated quickly.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command DEA GCELL to deactivate the cell. To configure multiple FH groups and include the BCCH frequencies to the FH groups, Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD GCELLMAGRP for each FH group you
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
want to add. In this step, set Hop Mode to BaseBand_FH(BaseBand FH) and Cell Index, Hop Index, and EARFCN to appropriate values.
NOTE
To enable the BCCH TRX to participate in FH, at least two FH groups need to be configured with one FH group containing the BCCH frequency.
3. 4.
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOPTP to set the FH type of a cell to baseband FH. In this step, set Cell Index and Hop Mode to appropriate values. To configure multiple frequencies and set the FH type of the TRXs participating in FH (including the BCCH TRX) to baseband FH, Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXHOP for each frequency you want to set. In this step, set TRX ID and Hop Type to appropriate values. To configure multiple channels and set the FH index and mobile allocation index offset (MAIO) of the channels, Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXCHANHOP for each channel you want to set. In this step, set Channel Hop Index and Channel MAIO to appropriate values.
NOTE
5.
l When the same FH group is used for the TRXs, the MAIO of the same channel of the TRXs must be different. l Channel 0 on the BCCH TRX does not participate in FH, and therefore its FH index should be set to 255.
6.
Run the BSC6900 MML command ACT GCELL to activate the cell.
NOTE
In addition to the preceding activation procedure, you can quickly activate this feature by performing the following step: Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOPQUICKSETUP to quickly set FH for a cell. In this step, set Cell Index, Frequency Hopping Mode, Frequency Hopping Mode of BCCH TRX, and TRXID LST (which contains the BCCH TRX ID) to appropriate values.
Verification Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOPQUICKSETUP. In this step, set CELLID to the index of the cell to be verified, Frequency Hopping Mode to BaseBand_FH(Baseband frequency hopping), and Frequency Hopping Mode of BCCH TRX to Hop(Hop). Use the MS to initiate a call in the cell to be verified. The call is initiated successfully and the voice quality is good.

Configuring Antenna Frequency Hopping
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-113703 Antenna Frequency Hopping. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependencies on Hardware The following BTSs support this feature: The BTS3012 series not using the QTRU support this feature. The 3900 series base stations using the DRFU or RRU3004 support this feature. There are at lease two antennas in a cell participating in antenna frequency hopping.
Dependencies on Other Features This feature is exclusive with the features GBFD-510104 Multi-site cell, GBFD-118104 Enhanced EDGE Coverage, GBFD-118102 Dynamic PBT (Power Boost Technology), GBFD-118101 Dynamic Transmit Diversity, GBFD-111604 Intelligent Combiner Bypass, and GBFD-111606 Power Optimization Based on Channel Type.
Context
Antenna frequency hopping enables downlink data on each TRX to be randomly transmitted on other TRXs. This improves receive quality of the MS from the BCCH TRX and transmit quality of the BCCH TRX, thereby improving network performance. If a 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 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.
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. Dependencies on Other Features This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-113201 Concentric Cell or GBFD-114501 Co-BCCH Cell.
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, 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 entire network.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCHMGBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Channel Management > Basic Channel Management Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set TIGHT BCCH Switch to ON(On).

Prerequisites
Configuring IBCA
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-117002 IBCA (Interference Based Channel Allocation).
A built-in PCH and a pair of service processing boards are required. An IP interface board is required to support inter-BSC IBCA. The following features have been configured before this feature is activated: GBFD-118201 Soft-Synchronized Network, GBFD-113701 Frequency Hopping (RF hopping, baseband hopping), GBFD-510401 BTS GPS Synchronization, GBFD-117601 HUAWEI III Power Control Algorithm. If Soft-Synchronized Network is enabled, this feature depends on the following features: GBFD-118621 Connection Inter BSC over IP (when inter-BSC IBCA is supported). This feature and the following features and functions are mutually exclusive: GBFD-117001 Flex MAIO, the very early assignment function in GBFD-110502 Assignment and Immediate Assignment, GBFD-510104 Multi-site Cell, GBFD-118106 Dynamic Power Sharing, GBFD-119406 High Speed Circuit Switched Data, GBFD-114501 Co-BCCH Cell, and GBFD-113201 Concentric Cell features. . If Soft-Synchronized Network is enabled, this feature and the feature GBFD-118601 Abis over IP are mutually exclusive. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites The IBCA feature is implemented on a synchronous network. Therefore, the transmission and power supply must be stable. If the transmission or power supply is unstable, for example, the power supply is often disconnected, or transmission links are disconnected intermittently, frequent synchronizations are performed and therefore call drops occur. Only one transmission link disconnection and one out-of-lock alarm are allowed each month at each site.
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 therefore enables a tighter frequency reuse pattern. In addition, this increases the network capacity while ensuring the voice quality in the entire network. Table 190-1 Data preparation Remarks (Configuration Principle for Different Scenarios) Recommended value: 200 If this parameter is set to a large value, the IBCA interference measurement result reporting is delayed and the channel assignment is affected. Recommended value: NO (NO) Setting this parameter to YES (YES) affects the accuracy of the IBCA interference measurement.

Configuring Soft-Synchronized Network
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-118201 Soft-Synchronized Network. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependencies on Hardware The FG2a/FG2c/FG2d/GOUa/GOUc/GOUd board is configured. The BTS supports the feature Soft-Synchronized Network. Dependencies on Other Features The feature GBFD-118621 Connection Inter BSC over IP has been configured before this feature is activated. This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-118601 Abis over IP or GBFD-510104 Multi-Site Cell. You are advised to use this feature together with GBFD-115801 ICC,GBFD-115821 EICC,GBFD-118103 Network Support SAIC and GBFD-117002 IBCA.
Other Prerequisites The BSC initial configuration is complete. The BSC is configured with at least two BTSs. Each BTS is configured with at least two cells. In addition, the longitude, latitude, and antenna azimuth of each cell are configured.
Context
The soft-synchronized network applies to the scenario of tight frequency reuse and requires the cooperation of network planning and features such as IBCA. It can effectively improve the performance of the KPIs associated with the wireless network. In addition, this feature can convert an asynchronous network into a synchronous network. In cooperation with other associated technologies, this technology eliminates random and unpredictable interference and therefore increases the system capacity.

NOTE
l The BTS3900B and BTS3900E do not support this feature. l This feature can be used together with the feature GBFD-117002 IBCA to improve the frequency utilization and increase the network capacity. l This feature is applicable to the scenario where TDM transmission is used between the BSC and BTS, that is, Abis TDM over E1/T1/STM-1. In a scenario where an IP network is used between the BSC and BTS, including Abis IP over E1/T1/STM-1 and Abis IP over FE/GE, the Soft-Synchronized Network feature is not supported.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure Configuring an intra-BSC soft-synchronized network 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSAISS. In this step, specify BTS Index (Not required on the CME) or BTS Name of the BTS to participate in the intra-BSC soft-synchronized task. To configure multiple BTSs, run this command for each BTS you want to add. Site Sync Zone of each BTS must be set to the same value.
NOTE
BTS Symbol Offset is optional. This parameter specifies the frame offset between BTSs and is set as required.
2.
Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD AISSCFG. In this step, set Reference BTS Index (Not required on the CME) to the index of the BTS that supports the softsynchronized network. In addition, set both Offset Information Collection Switch and Offset Time Adjustment Switch to ON(ON) and Support BSC AISS to NO (NO). Optional: Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD NCELL to add a pair of neighboring cells in the BSC. In this step, set AISS Task Index to the index of the soft-synchronized network task specified in Step 1. Then, set First Cell Index and Second Cell Index to appropriate values.
NOTE
3.
A pair of neighboring cells in the BSC are automatically generated based on certain rules. If the neighboring cells do not meet the measurement requirements, reconfigure the neighboring cells as required.
Configuring an inter-BSC soft-synchronized network The configuration of the soft-synchronized network between BSC1 and BSC2 is used as an example. Each BSC has only one BTS. IP-based inter-BSC interconnection is configured. 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSAISS at BSC1 and BSC2 respectively. In this step, specify BTS Index (Not required on the CME) or BTS Name of the BTS to participate in the intra-BSC soft-synchronized task. Site Sync Zone of each BTS must be set to the same value. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD AISSCFG at BSC1. In this step, set Reference BTS Index (Not required on the CME) to the index of the BTS that supports the soft-synchronized network. In addition, set Offset Time Adjustment Switch and Offset Information Collection Switch to ON(ON), and set Support BSC AISS and Base BSC to YES(YES). Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD AISSCFG at BSC2. In this step, set Reference BTS Index (Not required on the CME) to the index of a BTS that supports

Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
the soft-synchronized network. In addition, set Offset Time Adjustment Switch and Offset Information Collection Switch to ON(ON), Support BSC AISS to YES, Base BSC to NO, and Control BSC DPC to the DPC of BSC1. 4. 5. 6. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD GEXT2GCELL at BSC1 to configure a cell under BSC2 as an external cell of BSC1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD G2GNCELL at BSC1 to configure the external cell added in Step 4 as a neighboring cell of a cell under BSC1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD EXTNCELL at BSC1 to add a pair of neighboring cells between BSCs.
NOTE
A pair of neighboring cells between BSCs are automatically generated according to certain rules. If the neighboring cells do not meet the measurement requirements, reconfigure the neighboring cells as required. Steps 4 to 6 are performed to add a pair of optimal neighboring cells between BSCs.
Verification Procedure Verifying the intra-BSC soft-synchronized network 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST AISSCFG to query the information about the soft-synchronized network.
NOTE
If you do not specify AISS Task Index, the information about all the soft-synchronized network tasks is queried.
Expected result: Check whether AISS Task Index of the added intra-BSC softsynchronized network exists. If the index exists, the intra-BSC soft-synchronized network is added successfully. 2. 3. 4. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP NCELLTBL to query information about neighboring cell pairs within a BSC. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP AISSRUNSTATE to query the BTS synchronization information. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP BTSSYNCINFO to query the frame offset in the synchronization between BTSs.
Verifying the inter-BSC soft-synchronized network 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST AISSCFG to query the information about the soft-synchronized network. Expected result: The value of Support BSC AISS for BSC1 is YES and the value of Control BSC DPC for BSC2 is the signaling point of the control BSC. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP BSCSYNCINFO to query the information about the synchronization between BSCs.
NOTE
l Set Adjacent BSC DPC to the signaling point of BSC1 to query the state of the local BSC. l Set Adjacent BSC DPC to the signaling point of BSC2 to query the state of the collaborative BSC.
Expected result: The value of BSC Sync State for BSC1 and BSC2 is Adjusted. 3. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP BTSSYNCINFO to query the frame offset in the synchronization between BTSs. Expected result: The value of BTS status for the BTS is Synchronized.
Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command RMV AISSCFG to remove a soft-synchronized network task. In this step, specify BTS Index (Not required on the CME) or BTS Name of the BTS involved in the intra-BSC or inter-BSC soft-synchronized network.

Configuring Network Support SAIC
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-118103 Network Support SAIC.
Other Prerequisites The MS supports Single Antenna Interference Cancellation (SAIC).
Context
SAIC is a technique that restraints both intra-frequency 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 SAIC-capable MS has a greater capability of bearing interference than the SAIC-incapable MS. Therefore, the power control policy can be adjusted for the SAIC-capable MS to reduce the transmit power of the BTS, reducing interference in the entire network.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPWRBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Power Control > Basic Parameters for Power Control of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set SAIC Allowed to YES(Yes). Set power control adjustment. When Huawei II power control algorithm is used:

When Huawei III power control algorithm is used: a.
Verification Procedure 1. On the BSC6900 LMT, initiate A interface message tracing by referring to Tracing Messages on the A Interface. Use the MS to make a CS voice call. Check the value of Downlink Advanced Receiver Performance in the information element (IE) classmark-information-type3 of the Classmark Update message. This value indicates the SAIC capability of the MS. Expected result: The value of Downlink Advanced Receiver Performance is Support SAIC. 2. On the BSC6900 LMT, initiate Abis interface RSL message tracing by referring to Tracing CS Domain RSL Messages on the Abis Interface. Check the value of the userdefined IE MS Capability in the channel activation command sent from the BSC6900 to the BTS during the assignment request process. Expected result: The value of SAIC support capability is 1. This indicates that the MS supports SAIC.
Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPWRBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Power Control > Basic Parameters for Power Control of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches).

Configuring PS Downlink DTX
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-119507 PS Downlink DTX. With the PS Downlink DTX feature, the BSC decreases the number of dummy control blocks sent on PDCHs and the number of data blocks unnecessarily retransmitted over the Um interface. This reduces the BTS power consumption and network interference, improving the service quality.
Dependencies on Other Features This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-119202 Packet Assignment Taken Over by the BTS.
l l l l
Dependencies on Running Environment A built-in PCU is configured. That is, the DPUd or DPUg board is configured. Requirements for Transmission Network This feature does not have any special requirements for the transmission network. Requirements for Other NEs and Third-Party Devices This feature does not have any special requirements for other NEs or third-party devices. Other Prerequisites Support DL PACK Retransmission is set to YES(YES).
Context
This feature applies to two scenarios: no MS access and no valid data to be sent. l No MS access indicates that no uplink or downlink TBF is established on a PDCH. When PS Downlink DTX is enabled in this scenario, downlink dummy blocks are not sent on this PDCH, achieving downlink discontinuous transmission. No valid data to be sent indicates that no single block assignment is triggered on a PDCH, or an uplink or downlink TBF is established on a PDCH but are not scheduled by Uplink State Flag (USF) or Relative Reserved Block Period (RRBP). When PS Downlink DTX is

enabled in this scenario, downlink dummy blocks are not sent on this PDCH, achieving downlink discontinuous transmission. l l l When the downlink PACK retransmission function is enabled, the frequency for sending downlink PACK blocks can be modified. Precautions None Data Preparation Parameter Name PS DTX Parameter ID Parameter Setting Data Source
PSDTX
Setting this parameter to Network DTX(ON when no MS is planning accessed) or ENHANCEDDTX(ON when no valid data needs to be sent) shuts down the TRX power amplifier in off-peak hours. This reduces power consumption and network interference over the Um interface. Setting this parameter to ENHANCEDDTX(ON when no valid data needs to be sent) enhances the optimization effect, but deteriorates the accessibility because MSs with poor compatibility cannot properly send uplink data.

DL PACK Block DlPACKSENDPERIOD If this parameter is set to a Network Send Period large value, the number of planning PACK blocks sent by the BSC decreases. Therefore, interference with the network decreases, and the PS delay and retransmission rate increase when the block error rate is high. If this parameter is set to a small value, the number of PACK blocks sent by the BSC increases. Therefore, interference with the network increases, and the PS delay and retransmission rate decrease when the block error rate is high.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPRIVATEOPTPARA (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > GPRS Attributes > Customized Network Optimization Parameters of 2G Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches).

Expected result: Packet Downlink Dummy Control Block messages are not sent on non-occupied PDCHs on non-BCCH TRXs. 2. Use an MS supporting GPRS or EGPRS to perform a PS ping test. During the ping test, check in the Um Interface PS Trace results: The period of sending PACK blocks during the delayed downlink TBF release period after the downlink data transmission is complete. Packet Downlink Dummy Control Block message is displayed after Packet Downlink Ack/Nack or Egprs Packet Downlink Ack/Nack whose FAI is 1 in the Um Interface PS Trace results. Expected result: The period of sending PACK blocks during the delayed downlink TBF release period is longer than or equal to the period specified by DL PACK Block Send Period.

The larger the value of this Network parameter, the longer the planning minimum access delay in transmitting uplink data for extended uplink TBFs in inactive periods and the fewer uplink dummy control blocks sent by the MS. The smaller the value of this parameter, the shorter the minimum access delay in transmitting uplink data for extended uplink TBFs in inactive periods and the more uplink dummy control blocks sent by the MS.
Inactive UPEXTTBFINACTDELAY Setting this parameter to a large Network Period of value increases the uplink TBF planning Extended release delay, wasting uplink Uplink TBF resources. Setting this parameter to a small value leads to frequent uplink TBF releases and establishments, increasing the delay in the delay tests for the Attach and Ping services. Set the release delay a little longer than the duration of the interval between two discontinuous uplink transmissions.

Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLOTHEXT (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Other Attributes > Extended Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set UL Frequency Adjust Switch and UL Frequency Adjust Value to appropriate values. 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 chain neighboring cells is lower than the path loss of the serving cell minus the sum of Quick Handover Offset and Quick Handover Offset for Neighbor Cell. On the LMT, trace BSSAP messages over the A interface. Expected result: The BSC sends a Handover Performed message to the MSC with the handover cause value "better-cell".

Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Handover Data > Basic Handover Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Quick PBGT Handover Enable set to NO (No).
NOTE
Quick handover algorithms consist of the frequency offset handover algorithm and the quick PBGT handover algorithm. Quick Handover Enable is the switch that controls the frequency offset handover and the quick PBGT handover. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Handover Data > Basic Handover Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, you can deactivate the quick PBGT handover by setting Quick Handover Enable to NO(No), but the frequency offset handover is also deactivated.

Context
The multi-site cell feature enables multiple subsites to be configured as one logical cell. Such cell is also called a cascaded cell. A subsite is defined as an area physically covered by multiple RRUs that are served by one BBU. In coverage scenarios such as high-speed railways, tunnels,
or indoor space, the use of cascaded cells can reduce handovers, increase coverage efficiency, and therefore improve user experience. l l In a multi-site cell, only one primary subsite can be configured. A TRX board bound with carriers can be added only to the primary subsite. TRX boards that are not bound with any carriers can be added only to the secondary subsite.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSLOCGRP (CME single configuration: BTS Configuration Express > BTS Board > BTS Location Group; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add the primary subsite with Location Group No. set to the desired one and Is Main Local Group set to YES(YES).

Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSRXU2LOCGRP (CME single configuration: BTS Configuration Express > BTS Board > Board To Location Group; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add an RXU to the primary subsite after specifying Location Group No., Cabinet No., Subrack No., and Slot No.. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSRXU2LOCGRP (CME single configuration: BTS Configuration Express > BTS Board > Board To Location Group; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add an RXU to the secondary subsite after specifying Location Group No., Cabinet No., Subrack No., and Slot No.. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSBINDLOCGRP (CME single configuration: BTS Configuration Express > BTS Board > Location Group Binding Relations; CME batch modification center: not supported) to bind a carrier in the primary subsite to an idle channel on the TRX board in the secondary subsite after specifying Main Location Group No., Sub-Location Group No., TRX ID, Cabinet No., Subrack No., Slot No., and Sub-Location Group TRX Board Pass No..

l This configuration takes effect only when the TRXs in the primary subsite are the same as those in the secondary subsite. For example, in a multi-site cell with four subsites, subsite A is the primary subsite and is configured with three logical TRXs, and subsites B, C, and D are the secondary subsites. In this situation, you must bind the three logical TRXs in the primary subsite to the idle channels on the TRX boards in subsites B, C, and D. l All the subsites under a BTS or cell will be deleted when the BTS or cell is deleted.

Configuring HUAWEI II Handover
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-510501 HUAWEI II Handover.
Dependencies on Hardware This feature does not depend on the hardware. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
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. Compared with the common handover algorithm, Huawei II handover algorithm considers comprehensively all handover decision-making results so that the final handover decision-making result is accurate. Huawei II handover algorithm is classified into emergency handover, intra-cell handover, and inter-cell handover. l l The emergency handover is classified into directed retry, quick handover, bad quality handover, TA handover, and edge handover. The intra-cell handover is classified into interference handover, concentric circles handover, BCCH dense frequency multiplexing handover, handover between TCHF and TCHH, and VAMOS Demultiplexing Due to Poor Voice Quality. The inter-cell handover is classified into no downlink measurement report handover, enhanced dual-band network handover, fast-moving micro cell handover, load handover, better cell handover, and 2G/3G handover.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
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 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-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. 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-based 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 loadbased handover of a normal cell from colliding with a load-based 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 A load-based handover is not treated as an independent handover type for handover decisionmaking. The load-based 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 loadbased handover is triggered when the triggering conditions of load-based 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.

Prerequisites
l
Configuring GSM/WCDMA Interoperability
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-114301 GSM/WCDMA Interoperability.
Dependencies on Hardware The MS supports both the GSM and WCDMA networks. It also supports bidirectional cell reselection and handovers between GSM and WCDMA. The BSS and NSS support the GSM/WCDMA inter-RAT cell selection, cell reselection, and location update. In addition, they support measurement control, handover decision, and handover signaling procedures during inter-RAT handovers.
l l
Initial Data Preparation The basic data is configured. For details, see Configuring the Basic Data.
Context
The GSM/WCDMA Interoperability feature enables an MS to be handed over to or reselect a GSM cell if the serving cell of the MS is not covered by the WCDMA network or in an area with weak WCDMA coverage. When a dual-mode MS enters the coverage of the WCDMA network again, or the MS detects that the signal quality in the WCDMA cell is higher than that in the serving GSM cell, the MS can be handed over to or reselect a WCDMA cell if the handover or cell reselection conditions are met. Then, the MS can enjoy the various services provided by the WCDMA network. The feature GSM/WCDMA Interoperability is applied to scenarios such as cell reselection and handovers between GSM and WCDMA. This feature has no impact on services. The network elements involved are the BTS, BSC, MSC, PCU, SGSN, GGSN, and HLR.
Optimization focuses on the delivery mode of the 2Quater system information (SI) and measurement information (MI). The information elements (IEs) in the first 2Quater SI are streamlined, and the neighboring UMTS cell lists of the 2Quater SI and MI are delivered in dense coding mode. In this way, the amount of system information to be delivered is reduced and the PS service interruption period during a cell reselection is shortened.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD GEXT3GCELL (CME single configuration: Object Group > GSM Service Configuration and Maintenance Management > External Cell Configuration > BSC 3G External Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.21 Modifying BSC External Cell Parameters in Batches) to add a 3G external cell. In this step, set Utran Cell Type to FDD(FDD). Optional: When Utran Cell Type is set to FDD(FDD), Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCUTRANSYS (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > Call Control UTRAN System Message Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) to modify the UTRAN system information parameter related to the cell call control.

Verification Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GEXT3GCELL to query the value of Utran cell type. Expected result: The value of Utran cell type is FDD. Use an MS to access the 2G cell and then initiate a call. After the call is initiated normally, move the MS to the coverage area with strong 3G signals. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOINTERRATLDB. In this step, set Allow InterRAT Load HO in Access State to CnService-based. On the CN side, set Service Handover to Handover to UTRAN or cdma2000 should be performed. On the LMT, trace the BSSAP messages over the A interface. Expected result: The BSC sends a Handover Required message to the MSC with the handover cause value of "better-cell" or "directed-retry". Move the MS within the GSM cell or UMTS cell, and ensure that the Ec/No and Received Signal Code Power (RSCP) of the Common Pilot Channel (CPICH) are normal during the neighboring cell measurement of the UMTS cell (FDD).

Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCUTRANSYS (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > Call Control UTRAN System Message Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) to set the UTRAN system message parameters for call control in a cell. In this step, set Qsearch I, Qsearch C, and Qsearch P to 7, and set Qsearch C Initial to Always(Always). Perform received signal level (RSL) tracing over the Abis interface. The system information 2Quater carries information about neighboring 3G ARFCNs. Enable the Blind Search function to configure FDD ARFCNs. Move the MS within the GSM or UMTS cell, and ensure that the Ec/No and Received Signal Code Power (RSCP) of the Common Pilot Channel (CPICH) are normal during the neighboring cell measurement of the UMTS cell (FDD). If the following conditions are met within five seconds, the MS initiates a GSM-to-UMTS cell reselection: CPICH RSCP > RLA_C + FDD Q Offset and CPICH Ec/No > FDD Qmin When the MS is in a GSM cell, the frequency information of the MS indicates that the MS camps on the GSM cell. When the MS is in a UMTS cell, the frequency information of the MS indicates that the MS camps on the UMTS cell. 3. Enable the Blind Search function to configure TDD frequencies. Move the MS within the GSM or TD-SCDMA cell, and ensure that Qsearch I and the RSCP of the CPICH are normal during the neighboring cell measurement of the TD-SCDMA cell (TDD). If the following condition is met within five seconds, the MS initiates a GSM-to-TDSCDMA cell reselection: CPICH RSCP > TDD Cell Reselect Diversity When the MS is in a GSM cell, the frequency information of the MS indicates that the MS camps on the GSM cell. When the MS is in a TD-SCDMA cell, the frequency information of the MS indicates that the MS camps on the TD-SCDMA cell. l Deactivation Procedure If...

Configuring Cell Reselection Between GSM and LTE
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-511301 Cell Reselection Between GSM and LTE.
Dependencies on Hardware This feature requires support from the MS, BTS, BSC, MSC, PCU, SGSN, GGSN, and HLR. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Other Prerequisites The MS supports both GSM and LTE and supports bidirectional cell reselection between GSM and LTE. The BSS and the NSS support bidirectional cell reselection between GSM and LTE.
Context
Cell reselection between GSM and LTE enables an MS in an LTE network to reselect the GSM network when the MS is in a blind area of the LTE network or in an area with weak LTE coverage. When the MS reenters the LTE network coverage or when the MS detects that an LTE cell provides strong coverage, the MS can reselect the LTE network when the cell reselection conditions are met.
Procedure

Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPRIEUTRANSYS (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > Cell Priority and EUTRAN System Information Parameters; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set GERAN Priority smaller than EUTRAN Priority. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD GLTENCELL (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Neighboring Cell > BSC LTE Neighbor Cell; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add a neighboring LTE cell. In this step, set Source Cell Index to the index of the cell to be verified, Neighbor Cell Index to the index of the added LTE cell, and Support Cell Reselection to SUPPORT (SUPPORT). Run the BSC6900 MML command SET OTHSOFTPARA (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > Software Parameter Configuration > Other Software Parameters of BSC; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Support Sent 2QUATER to YES(Yes). Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GCELLHOBASIC to check the value of LTE Cell Reselection Allowed. Expected result: The value of LTE Cell Reselection Allowed is Yes. 2. Enable the MS to camp on a GSM cell. Initiate RSL message tracing on the Abis interface on the BSC6900 LMT by referring to Tracing CS Domain Messages on the Abis Interface. On the RSL tab page, set Filter Flag to Cell and Cell ID (cell1,cell2,...cell16) to the index of the cell to be verified. Then click Submit and an Abis Interface CS Trace dialog box is displayed. Expected result: The MS reselects the LTE cell successfully. The result of RSL message tracing on the Abis interface shows that BCCH Information is traced and its message type is System Information 2Quater. l Deactivation Procedure 1. Optional: Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Handover Data > Basic Handover Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) to disable cell reselection from a GSM cell to all neighboring LTE cells.

Configuring GSM/TD-SCDMA Interoperability
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-114302 GSM/TD-SCDMA Interoperability.
Dependencies on Hardware The MS supports both the GSM and TD-SCDMA networks. It also supports bidirectional cell reselection and handovers between GSM and TD-SCDMA. The BSS and NSS support the GSM/TD-SCDMA inter-RAT cell selection, cell reselection, and location update. In addition, they support measurement control, handover decision, and handover signaling procedure during inter-RAT handovers.
l l
Dependencies on Other Features This feature is not under license control. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Initial Data Preparation The basic data has been configured. For details, see Configuring the Basic Data.
Context
The GSM/TD-SCDMA Interoperability feature enables an MS to be handed over to or reselect a GSM cell if the serving cell of the MS is not covered by the TD-SCDMA network or in the area with weak TD-SCDMA coverage. When a dual-mode MS enters the coverage of the TDSCDMA network again, or the MS detects that the signal quality in the TD-SCDMA cell is higher than that in the serving GSM cell, the MS can be handed over to or reselect a TD-SCDMA cell if the handover or cell reselection conditions are met. Then, the MS can enjoy the various services provided by the TD-SCDMA network.

Configuring Extended BCCH
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the basic feature GBFD-511403 Extended BCCH.
Other Prerequisites The MS supports this feature.
Context
SI2Quater and SI13 messages are sent on the same normal BCCH as other system information messages. Only one message is sent in a scheduling period, leading to a long delay. If SI2Quater and SI13 messages are specified to be broadcast on an extended BCCH, only these two types of messages are broadcast on the extended BCCH. In addition, one SIQuater or SI13 message is broadcast in each scheduling period. This speeds up the scheduling and broadcasting of SI2Quater and SI13 messages. As a result, MSs quickly obtain system information messages for inter-RAT cell reselection, and the delay in cell reselection decreases.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLIDLEBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Idle Mode > Idle Basic Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches).

Configuring NC2 Between GSM and TD-SCDMA
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-511405 NC2 between GSM and TD-SCDMA.
Dependencies on Hardware The DPU board that supports the built-in PCU is configured. Dependencies on Other Features The following features have been configured before this feature is activated: GBFD-114101 GPRS, GBFD-114302 GSM/TD-SCDMA Interoperability, and GBFD-511401 Iur-g Interface Between GSM and TD-SCDMA (dependent on this feature if the neighboring TD-SCDMA cell load is a prerequisite to cell reselection). The feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-118702 MOCN Shared, Cell GBFD-114151 DTM, and GBFD-511110 BSC supporting Blind Search. The TD-SCDMA neighboring cell load acquisition function in the NC2 between GSM and TD-SCDMA feature is mutually exclusive with the GSM/TD-SCDMA cell reselection optimization for MSs in packet transfer mode in the GBFD-114302 GSM/ TD-SCDMA Interoperability feature.
Other Prerequisites The MS must support all of the following: GSM and TD-SCDMA, bidirectional cell reselection between GSM and TD-SCDMA, NC2 between GSM and TD-SCDMA, and the processing of neighboring TD-SCDMA cell information contained in the Packet Measurement Order message. The BSS and NSS support bidirectional cell reselection between GSM and TDSCDMA. A GSM cell is configured with a neighboring TD-SCDMA cell, and the neighboring TD-SCDMA cell supports cell reselection.

Prerequisites
Configuring Ciphering
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional features GBFD-113501 A5/1 and A5/2 Ciphering Algorithm and GBFD-113503 A5/3 Ciphering Algorithm.
This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. This feature does not depend on other features. The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites The MSC and the MS supports ciphering.
Context
There are eight ciphering algorithms specified in the GSM protocols: A5/0, A5/1, A5/2, A5/3, A5/4, A5/5, A5/6, and A5/7. In A5/0, ciphering is not supported. In A5/1, A5/2, and A5/3, safety of CS and PS data of a user transmitted over the air interface is guaranteed.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BSCBASIC (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > Basic Attributes of BSC; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches). In this step, set A Interface Tag, Um Interface Tag, and Abis Interface Tag to GSM_PHASE_2Plus. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Cell Attributes > Basic Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set Encryption Algorithm to A5/0 and A5/3.
2.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)

NOTE
l This procedure takes A5/3 as an example. The configuration procedures of other ciphering algorithms are similar as this procedure. l A5/0 in the Encryption Algorithm drop-down list must be selected.
3.
Optional: Set the encryption algorithm priority. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLBASICPARA (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Cell Attributes > Basic Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) to set Encryption Algorithm 1 to Encryption Algorithm 7 separately. For example, set Encryption Algorithm 1 to A51(A5/1), Encryption Algorithm 2 to A52(A5/2), Encryption Algorithm 3 to A53(A5/3), Encryption Algorithm 4 to A54(A5/4), Encryption Algorithm 5 to A55(A5/5), Encryption Algorithm 6 to A57(A5/7), and Encryption Algorithm 7 to A56(A5/6).
NOTE
l The default priority of the encryption algorithm in descending order is A5/7 to A5/0. If you do not perform any configurations on the priority, use the default priority. l Each priority corresponds to an encryption algorithm, and different priorities cannot correspond to the same encryption algorithm.
NOTE
The verification procedures take A5/3 as an example.
1. 2. 3.
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 GCELLBASICPARA. In this step, set Cell Index to the index of the test cell and Encryption Algorithm to A5/0 and A5/3. Double-click A Interface Trace on the LMT to create a trace task. On the Basic tab page, specify the DPC of the test cell in the DPC(HEX) text box. Click BSSAP in the Trace Type area. Specify the ID of the test cell in the Cell ID (cell1, cell2, ...cell16): text box in the BSSAP tab page. Then, click Submit. After opening the A interface tracing window, use the MS to initiate a call in the test cell. Expected result: The call is set up, and the IE chosen-encryption-algorithm in the Cipher Mode Complete message is gsm-a5-3.

Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
Use an MS to initiate a call and Tracing BSSAP Messages on the A Interface.

Expected result: The call is initiated successfully and the Handover Performed message can be observed after the call lasts for a period specified by TCH Time Handover Period. Verifying Flex TSC 1. 2. 3. 4. Use an MS to initiate a call, Tracing CS Domain Messages on the Um Interface, and record the TSC value in a Assignment Command message. Terminate the call. Use an MS to initiate a call again, Tracing CS Domain Messages on the Um Interface, and record the TSC value in a Assignment Command message. Compare the two TSC values. Expected result: The two TSC values are different. Verifying dummy bit randomization 1. Use an MS to initiate multiple calls, Tracing LAPDm Messages Through BTS Signaling Trace, and select the TRX carrying the SDCCH on the LAPDm tab. Then, enter the number of the timeslot or sub-timeslot to be traced. Expected result: When a call is assigned to the traced SDCCH, the lapdm-rr-frame information element contained in the MailBox Trace message shows that not all dummy bits are 2B. This indicates that dummy bits are randomized. Verifying the function of stopping sending system information 5, 5bis, or 5ter after encryption 1. Use an MS to initiate a call, and use a drive test device to trace messages over the Um interface. Expected result: SI 5, 5bis, and 5ter is not found in Um interface messages over the SACCH on the SDCCH after the BTS sends a Ciphering Mode Command message to the MS. Verifying the randomization of the filling information of SI 6 1. Use an MS to initiate a call, and use a drive test device to trace messages over the Um interface.

8. 9.
Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSIPSECBIND to bind the IPSec security policy to the output port to validate the security policy. Optional: When the BTS uses an IP clock, the clock server is in a non-security domain, and Clock Topology Mode is set to PTPOVERUDP, Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSIPCLKPARA. In this step, set Clock Protocol Type to PTP (PTP Protocol), Clock Topology Mode to PTPOVERUDP(PTP over UDP Unicast), and Client IP Address to the IP address used for the communication between the BTS and the clock server.
10. Optional: Repeat Step 1 to Step 9 to configure the second IPSec tunnel. 11. Optional: Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSBFD to configure a Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) session for the two IPSec tunnels respectively. 12. Optional: Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSIPSECDTNL to configure the active/standby relationship between the two IPSec tunnels. l Verification Procedure If the active and standby IPSec tunnels have been configured, perform Step 1 to Step 3.

Run the BSC6900 MML command LST BTSACLRULE to determine whether service data is protected by the IPSec as planned by checking ACL rules and check whether the protected services are normal. For example, if speech services are protected by the IPSec, you can check whether the speech services are normal by initiating calls. If management packets are protected by the IPSec, you can check whether the corresponding BTS is online from the topology window on the M2000. Expected result: Service data is protected by the IPSec as planned and the protected services are normal. 3. Remove the Ethernet cable connecting to the active channel, and Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP BTSIPSECDTNL to check whether Current Used IPSec Policy is Slave IPSec Policy. Use an MS to initiate a call and observe whether the call is normal. Check whether the corresponding BTS is online from the topology window on the M2000. Expected result: Current Used IPSec Policy is Slave IPSec Policy, the call initiated by the MS is normal, and the corresponding BTS is online. l Deactivation Procedure 1. ----End Run the BSC6900 MML command RMV BTSIPSECBIND to delete the binding relationship between the IPSec security policy and the corresponding port.

Configuring BTS Supporting PKI
The BTS Supporting PKI feature enables an NE to automatically obtain a digital certificate authorized by the Certificate Authority (CA) of an operator. With the digital certificate, the NE can pass the authentication that uses the Internet Protocol Security (IPsec), 802.1x, or Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Configuring Ring Topology
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-117801 Ring Topology.
Dependencies on Hardware The BTS3900B does not support this feature. This feature cannot be enabled when a DXX device is used. Reverse and forward links can be connected to the same Abis interface board or different Abis interface boards in the same BM subrack, but cannot be connected to different subracks.
Dependencies on Other Features This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-116701 16Kbit RSL and OML on A-bis Interface, GBFD-118601 Abis over IP, GBFD-118611 Abis IP over E1/ T1, GBFD-113728 OML Backup, and GBFD-116601 Abis Bypass. GBFD-117301 Flex Abis cannot be used together with BTS ring topology II.
Other Prerequisites BTS ring topology I When this feature is simultaneously enabled with Flex Abis, Flex Abis must be configured on all BTSs, and only a single E1 link can be configured on the forward and reverse links. BTS ring topology II Only a single E1 link can be configured on the forward and reverse links. HDLC ring topology (only BTS ring topology II is supported) Hybrid networking of HDLC and TDM is not supported. Secondary link is not supported. The cabinets of the BTS30 or BTS312 cannot be used in cabinet groups.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
848
The configuration of exclusive timeslots is supported, but the configuration of monitoring timeslots is not supported. Local switching is not supported. The conversion of the bearing modes, that is, the conversion from the HDLC ring topology to the TDM ring topology, is not supported. Timeslots cannot be manually allocated.
Context
A ring topology is a special type of chain topology. In a ring topology, BTSs connect to each other to form a common chain first, and then the lowest-level BTS is connected to the BSC through a transmission link, thereby forming a ring. If the transmission link is disconnected at a point of the ring, the topology of BTSs that precede the breakpoint remains unchanged. BTSs that follow the breakpoint form a new chain in the reverse direction. Compared with a common chain topology, the ring topology has the following advantage: When a transmission link is disconnected at a point, the ring automatically breaks into two chains. In this way, BTSs that precede and follow the breakpoint can work normally, improving system robustness.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTS (CME single configuration: BTS Topology > Interface Board > ADD BTS; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set Config Ring (CME: Support Ring Topology) to YES (Yes). Configure data for base station equipment by referring to Configuring the Equipment Data.

Prerequisites
l l l License
Configuring TRX Cooperation
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-113801 TRX Cooperation.
Other Prerequisites The cell supports TRX cooperation. At least two TRXs in the same band are configured in the cell. The cell supports BCCH TRX cooperation. The cell supports baseband FH TRX cooperation. The cell supports switchback of BCCH TRX cooperation. The cell supports switchback of baseband FH TRX cooperation.
Context
TRX cooperation enables the BSC to automatically designate an available TRX in the cell to replace a faulty BCCH TRX or baseband FH TRX. This ensures that the cell can work properly when faults occur on some TRXs in the cell. There are two types of TRX cooperation: BCCH TRX cooperation and baseband FH TRX cooperation. l BCCH TRX cooperation enables the BSC to use the TRX cooperation algorithm to select an available TRX as the new BCCH TRX when the original BCCH TRX is faulty. This ensures that the cell can work properly. When the fault on the original BCCH TRX is rectified, the BSC can switch the BCCH back to the original TRX.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
851
Baseband FH TRX cooperation enables the BSC to remove a TRX involved in baseband FH from the FH group when the TRX is faulty in a cell, whereas other TRXs in the FH group remain in baseband FH.
TRX cooperation is specific to each cell. That is, you can separately enable or disable the TRX cooperation function for each cell.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCACCESS (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > Call Access Control Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, set TRX Aiding Function Control to AllowReImmed(Allowed & Recover Immediately) and Switchback Policy of Baseband FH Mutual Aid to PART(Part).
Verification Procedure Verifying BCCH TRX cooperation and switchback of BCCH TRX cooperation 1. 2. Power off the BCCH TRX for the cell. In this way, the BCCH TRX becomes faulty, and therefore BCCH TRX cooperation is triggered. Wait for about 15 minutes for cell initialization, and then Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP CHNSTAT to query the channel status. Verify that Channel Type of channel 0 of a TRX (not the initially configured BCCH TRX) is set to Main BCCH. Use an MS to access the cell enabled with the BCCH TRX cooperation function and make a call. Verify that the call is set up successfully and the voice quality is clear. Power on the TRX mentioned in Step 1 to enable switchback of BCCH TRX cooperation. Wait about 15 minutes for cell initialization, and then Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP CHNSTAT to query the channel status. Verify that Channel Type of channel 0 of the initially configured BCCH TRX is set to Main BCCH. Use an MS to access the cell enabled with the switchback of BCCH TRX cooperation function and make a call. Verify that the call is set up successfully and the voice quality is clear. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLHOPQUICKSETUP. In this step, set Frequency Hopping Mode to BaseBand_FH(Baseband frequency hopping) and BCCHTRXHP Frequency Hopping Mode of BCCH TRX to NO_Hop(No hop).
NOTE

Verifying baseband FH TRX cooperation and switchback of baseband FH TRX cooperation 1.
l There are at least two operational TRXs in a baseband FH group to ensure the baseband FH 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.
2. 3.
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXCHANADMSTAT with Administrative State for the TCH carrying the BCCH set to Lock(Lock). Initiate Abis-interface CS message tracing by referring to Tracing CS Domain Messages on the Abis Interface. In the Abis Interface CS Trace dialog box, click the
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
OML tab. Then, power off a TRX in the baseband FH group to enable baseband FH TRX cooperation. 4. Wait 15 minutes, and then check that the IE "arfcnList" in the Set Channel Attributes message of the faulty TRX contains only one frequency whereas "arfcnList" in the Set Channel Attributes message of other TRXs in the same baseband FH group contains multiple frequencies except the frequency of the faulty TRX. Initiate A-interface message tracing by referring to Tracing Messages on the A Interface. In the A Interface Trace dialog box, click the BSSAP tab, and set related parameters to start the tracing task. Initiate Abis-interface CS message tracing by referring to Tracing CS Domain Messages on the Abis Interface. In the Abis Interface CS Trace dialog box, click the RSL tab, and set related parameters to start the tracing task. Use an MS to access the test cell and then originate a call. Verify that the voice is clear during the call and that the messages traced over the Abis and A interfaces are correct. Ensure that the field h in the IE "hopping-channel" of the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message carried in the Data Request message is 1. Power on the TRX mentioned in Step 3 to enable switchback of baseband FH TRX cooperation. Wait 15 minutes, and then verify that the IE "arfcnList" in the Set Channel Attributes message of the fault-rectified TRX contains all frequencies in the baseband FH group. Use an MS to access the test cell and then originate a call. Verify that the voice is clear during the call and that the messages traced over the Abis and A interfaces are correct. Ensure that h in the IE "hopping-channel" of the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message carried in the Data Request message is 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCACCESS (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > Call Access Control Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches).

Prerequisites
Configuring MSC Pool
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-117401 MSC Pool. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware. This feature does not depend on other features. The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites 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 M2000 feature WOFD-230100 MSC Pool Management has been enalbed. An original signaling point (OSP) and at least two destination signaling points (DSPs) are configured. For details, see Configuring the OSP and DSP. 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 processing traffic 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, reducing inter-MSC handovers and providing disaster-tolerant redundancy capabilities. This feature enables the BSC to independently initiate the load reassignment function. One BSC6900 can be connected to a maximum of 32 MSCs.
When the MSC does not support the function A Interface Circuits Managed by the MGW or the function is disabled, DPCs in an MSC pool are configured for different DPC groups.
NOTE
This section uses the configuration of two DSPs whose DPX Index are set to 0 and 1 as an example.
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 appropriate values; set MSC Pool Function Enabled to YES(Yes); and set Length of NRI in TMSI and MSC NULL-NRI Value based on the data negotiated with the MSC. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD GCNNODE to add a CN node for the first DSP. In this step, set DSP index to 0, set Operator Name to the value set in Step 1, set CN Node Index and DPC Group Index appropriately, and set MSC Administrable State, MSC ID, and MSC Available Capability<K User number> based on the data negotiated with the MSC. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD GCNNODE to add a CN node for the second DSP. In this step, set DSP index to 1, set Operator Name to the value set in Step 1, set CN Node Index and DPC Group Index appropriately, and set MSC Administrable State, MSC ID, and MSC Available Capability<K User number> based on the data negotiated with the MSC.
NOTE
2.
3.
Repeat the BSC6900 MML command ADD GCNNODE if there are more than two DSPs.
4.
Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD NRIMSCMAP to add the mapping between an NRI and an MSC. In this step, set NRI Value based on the data negotiated with the MSC. Ensure that the NRI value is the same as that on the MSC side. If you need to adjust the number of MSs served by an MSC, run the BSC6900 MML command MOD GCNNODE with MSC Administrable State set to OFFLOAD (Offload), Reallocation Proportion set to 100, and Reallocation Duration set to 1. Then, run the BSC6900 MML command STR MSCRSL with CN Node Index set to an appropriate value to start a BSC load reallocation task on the MSC. Reallocation Proportion is set according to the proportion of MSs that can be migrated from this MSC, and Reallocation Duration is set according to the task duration. Enable the TMSI reallocation function on the MSC side. On the LMT, initiate 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 DSP of MSC 1. On the BSSAP tab page, set Cell ID(cell1,cell2,...cell16) to the ID of the cell where MS 1 camps on. Then, click Submit. The A Interface Trace message window is displayed.
NOTE
5.
3.
Initiate A-interface message tracing with the DSP of MSC 2 by using the method described in Step 2 and Step 3.
4.
Power on MS 1. Use MS 1 to initiate a location update procedure on the MSC 1 side. The CN assigns a TMSI to MS 1.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
5.
Power on MS 2. Use MS 2 to initiate a location update procedure on the MSC 2 side. The CN assigns a TMSI to MS 2.
NOTE
To enable the MS to initiate a location update at a specific MSC, Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD GCNNODE to set MSC Administrable State for all other MSCs to UNAVAIL (Unavailable). After the location update, set the parameter to NORMAL(Normal).
6.
Move MS 1 to the coverage area of MSC 2. Then, use MS 1 to originate a call and check the A interface message tracing. Expected result: MS 1 sets up the call through MSC 1, and the registered MSC of MS 1 remains unchanged.
7.
Move MS 2 to the coverage area of MSC 1. Then, use MS 2 to originate a call and check the A interface message tracing. Expected result: MS 2 sets up the call through MSC 2, and the registered MSC of MS 2 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.
8.
If the BSC load reallocation task is started, run the BSC6900 MML command DSP MSCRSL with CN Node Index set to an appropriate value to query the BSC load reallocation task status. After the task is started on the MSC, MS 1 initiates the periodic location update procedure. Check the LA of MS 1 in the A interface message tracing. Expected result: MS 1 registers with MSC 2, the home MSC for MS 1 changes, and the load reallocation task is in the started state.
Deactivation Procedure 1. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD GCNOPERATOR. In this step, set MSC Pool Function Enabled to NO(No). If the BSC load reallocation task is started, run the BSC6900 MML command STP MSCRSL with CN Node Index set to an appropriate value to stop the task.

The BSC allows new MSs to evenly access the SGSNs in an SGSN pool based on the capacity percentages configured for the SGSNs. The BSC cannot change the distribution of the existing MSs under the SGSNs in the SGSN pool. After the capacity percentages for SGSNs are added or modified, or if SGSNs are deleted, MSs under these SGSNs must be migrated to other SGSNs.

Prerequisites
Configuring Abis Bypass
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-116601 Abis Bypass.
The BTS3900B and BTS3900E do not support this feature. The BTS3006C and BTS3002E in TDM transmission mode are configured with the DMCM board that supports Abis Bypass. The BTS3012 (DTRU/QTRU) and BTS3012AE (DTRU/QTRU) in TDM transmission mode are configured with the DABB board that supports Abis Bypass. l Dependencies on Other Features This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-116701 16Kbit RSL and OML on A-bis Interface, GBFD-118601 Abis over IP, GBFD-118401 Abis Transmission Optimization, GBFD-117702 BTS Local Switch, GBFD-117801 Ring Topology, or GBFD-117301 Flex Abis. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Others The physical transmission link is connected to the GTMU. In Abis IP over E1 transmission mode, the BTS uses the logical IP address for communication. In Abis IP over E1 transmission mode, the local and peer IP addresses for the PPP links or MLPPP link groups over the port connecting the BTS and the BSC or connecting the BTS and the upper-level BTSs must be set to 0.0.0.0, as shown in Figure 240-1.

Figure 240-1 IP address planned for links in IP over E1 transmission mode
Context
Abis bypass is applicable to GBSS chain topologies. When power supply to a BTS fails, this function makes the BTS bypassed to function only as the path so that signals of lower-level BTSs can be transmitted to the BSC6900. After power supply is restored, the BTS and lowerlevel 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 BTSs support Abis bypass. For BTS3900 series, this function is effective only after DIP switches are set properly. l l When the Abis interface uses the TDM transmission mode, DIP switches S4 and S5 are required for supporting this function. When the Abis interface uses the IP over E1 transmission mode, only DIP switch S4 is required for supporting this function.

Assuming that the Abis Bypass function is activated when the Abis interface uses the IP over E1 transmission mode: l When an upper-level BTS experiences a power failure, call drops or mute occur in lowerlevel BTSs and last for approximate 5s. As shown in Figure 240-1, when BTS1 is powered off, the PPP or MP link between BTS1 and BTS2 is interrupted. BTS2 renegotiates with the BSC about reestablishing a PPP or an MP link. After the negotiation is complete and OML is reestablished, the services in the lower-level BTSs recover. When the upper-level BTS is powered on again, the services in lower-level BTSs are interrupted. As shown in Figure 240-1, when BTS1 is powered on again, the PPP or MP link between BTS2 and BSC is interrupted. BTS2 renegotiates with BTS1 about reestablishing a PPP or an MP link. After the negotiation is complete and OML is reestablished, the services in the lower-level BTSs recover. The laboratory test data shows

Configuring Robust Air Interface Signalling
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-113721 Robust Air Interface Signalling.
Dependencies on Hardware Since GBSS12.0, the following RF modules support Repeated SACCH: RRU3004, DRFU, RRU3008 V1, RRU3008 V2, RRU3908 V1, RRU3908 V2, MRFU V1, MRFU V2 Since GBSS13.0, the following RF modules support Repeated SACCH: RRU3926, RRU3929, RRU3942, MRFUe, MRFUd, and RRU3928 Since GBSS13.0, the following BTSs support Repeated SACCH: BTS3900B, BTS3900E, BTS3012, BTS3006C, and BTS3002E configured with DTRUs or DDRMs BTS312 do not support Repeated SACCH. BTS3012 and BTS3012AE that are configured with QTRUs do not support Repeated SACCH. Except BTS312, BTS3012 configured with QTRUs, and BTS3012AE configured with QTRUs, all BTSs (including BTS3900B and BTS3900E) and RF modules support Repeated Downlink FACCH.
l l
Other Prerequisites Repeated Downlink FACCH does not require support from MSs. Repeated SACCH requires the support from R6 MSs.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
871
Context
When the radio quality is poor, by retransmitting FACCH or SACCH frames, the antiinterference capability of the FACCH or SACCH is improved, thereby increasing the possibility that the MS and BSC receive signaling messages successfully. The robust air interface signaling function includes retransmission of downlink FACCH frames and retransmission of uplink/downlink SACCH frames.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > Call Control Basic Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches).

242.1 Configuring Satellite Transmission Backup (Ring Topology)

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the satellite transmission backup (ring topology) function in the optional feature GBFD-117803 Abis Transmission Backup.
Prerequisites
l Dependencies on Hardware Resources are available for terrestrial transmission and satellite transmission. The BTS supports the Ring I topology. l Dependencies on Other Features This feature depends on the feature GBFD-113901 Satellite Transmission over Abis Interface and GBFD-117801 Ring Topology. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Context
When a disaster-caused failure occurs in the active SDH transmission link over the TDM-based Abis interface, the GBSS automatically switches transmission link to a backup satellite transmission link. In this manner, the normal operation of the network is ensured. With the satellite 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 242-1. Figure 242-1 Network topology when the satellite transmission backup is enabled

242.2 Configuring Satellite Transmission Backup (DualLogical BTS)

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the satellite transmission backup (dual-logical BTS) function in the optional feature GBFD-117803 Abis Transmission Backup.
Prerequisites
l Dependencies on Hardware Link resources are required for terrestrial and satellite transmission modes.
An interface board for TDM transmission is required on the BSC side. BTS3900, BTS3900A, BTS3900L, and BTS3900AL must be configured with GTMUa or GTMUb boards to support this feature. The terrestrial BTS occupies port 0 on the physical BTS as the main port, and the satellite BTS occupies port 1 on the physical BTS as the main port. l Dependencies on Other Features This feature depends on the GBFD-117301 Flex Abis feature. This feature cannot be used together with the features GBFD-118601 Abis over IP, GBFD-118611 Abis IP over E1/T1, GBFD-118401 Abis Transmission Optimization, GBFD-116601 Abis Bypass, GBFD-117801 Ring Topology, and MRFD-210205 Chain Topology. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Context
The dual-logical BTS solution provides two logical BTSs for a physical BTS. One logical BTS uses satellite transmission, and the other uses TDM terrestrial transmission. If the TDM terrestrial transmission is faulty, the system automatically switches over the transmission link to the backup satellite transmission. The satellite station begins to process services to ensure normal network communication. The requirements for naming the two logical BTSs are as follows: l l The type of a BTS (a terrestrial BTS or a satellite BTS) must be identified. The mapping between two logical BTSs and a physical BTS must be identified.
For example, two logical BTSs in site A can be named as terrestrial BTS A and satellite BTS A.

242.3 Configuring Abis Transmission Backup Enhancement

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the Abis transmission backup enhancement function in the optional feature GBFD-117803 Abis Transmission Backup.
Prerequisites
l Dependencies on Other Features This feature depends on the features GBFD-118601 Abis over IP and GBFD-118611 Abis IP over E1/T1. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Dependencies on Running Environment This feature requires the BSC to be configured with interfaces supporting both IP over E1 and IP over FE/GE. Of these interface boards, the POUc supports IP over E1 and the GOUc and FG2c boards supports IP over FE/GE. This feature supports BTS3900, BTS3900A, BTS3900L, BTS3900AL, and DBS3900. However, these BTSs must be configured with GTMUb boards. l Dependencies on Transport Network The IP over FE/GE and IP over E1 transmission links are used between the BSC and the BTS. In addition, The IP over E1 transmission link must be configured in an endto-end (E2E) manner. l l Dependencies on Other NEs and Third-Party Devices N/A Other Prerequisites This feature supports only the built-in PCU.
Context
l Precautions When deploying this feature, a BTS must be deactivated, activated or reset. Therefore, services on the BTS will be interrupted for a short period. When primary and backup links are switched over, ongoing services will be interrupted for less than 1 minute. Changing the value of the parameter Wait Time Before Link Switchover shortens or prolongs the interruption, and therefore the default value is used. l Data Preparation

Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
b.
If the PPP link is used, Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP PPPLNK to query Link State, Local IP Address, and Peer IP Address. If the link state is normal and the values of Local IP Address and Peer IP Address are consistent with data configurations, proceed to the following steps. Otherwise, the transmission link is faulty. Locate and rectify the fault. If the MLPPP link is used, Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP MPGRP to query Link State, Local IP Address, and Peer IP Address, and Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP MPLNK to query Link State and LCP Negotiation State. If the link state is normal, the value of LCP Negotiation State is Connect available, and the values of Local IP Address and Peer IP Address are consistent with data configurations, proceed to the following steps. Otherwise, the transmission link is faulty. Locate and rectify the fault. If the PPP link is used, Run the BSC6900 MML command PING IP with Source IP address set to the same value as Local IP address in the DSP PPPLNK command and Destination IP address set to the same value as Peer IP address in the DSP PPPLNK command. If the statistics on PING packets can be received, the PPP link is normal. If the MLPPP link is used, Run the BSC6900 MML command PING IP with Source IP address set to the same value as Local IP address in the DSP MPGRP command and Destination IP address set to the same value as Peer IP address in the DSP MPGRP command. If the statistics on PING packets can be received, the MLPPP link is normal.

Verify the control plane on the Abis interface. a. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP LAPDLNK to check whether the LAPD link is normal. If Usagestatus is set to Normal, the LAPD link is functional. After the command is executed to query Abis signaling link by BTS index, if the command output shows that Usagestatus is set to Normal for an operation and maintenance link (OML) whose Link flag is set to Primary, the primary link is working; if the command output shows that Usagestatus is set to Normal for an OML whose Link flag is set to Backup, the backup link is working. Under common circumstances, Usagestatus is set to Faulty for a link that is not working. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP ADJNODE to obtain the state of an adjacent node, the number of paths to the adjacent node, and available bandwidth by checking related parameters, for example, Operation state. If Operation state is Available and the related bandwidth is greater than 0, the adjacent node is normal.

243 Configuring BSC Node Redundancy

Prerequisites
l
Configuring BSC Node Redundancy
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the GBFD-113725 BSC Node Redundancy feature.
Dependencies on Hardware IP interface boards are required for the BSC and BTS. The A, Abis, and inter-BSC interfaces use IP transmission. No restrictions concerning transmission are imposed on the Gb interface. BTSs other than the BTS3006C, BTS3002E, BTS3900B, and BTS3900E are used, because the BTS3006C, BTS3002E, BTS3900B, and BTS3900E are not supported.
Dependencies on Other Features Prerequisite features: The BSC Node Redundancy feature depends on the GBFD-118601 Abis over IP or GBFD-118611 Abis IP over E1/T1 feature over the Abis interface. The BSC Node Redundancy feature depends on the GBFD-118602 A over IP or GBFD-118622 A IP over E1/T1 feature over the A interface. The BSC Node Redundancy feature depends on the GBFD-115301 Local Multiple Signaling Points feature if the BSC has single-homed BTSs or works in load sharing mode. The WOFD-231100 BSC Redundancy Management -GBSS feature for the M2000 is enabled.

NOTE
If the electronic serial numbers (ESNs) for BSC 1 and BSC 2 are ESN 1 and ESN 2, respectively: l In scenarios where only dual-homed BTSs are configured, license 1 is generated when the order of BSC 1 is bound to ESN 1 and ESN 2, and license 2 is generated when the order of BSC 2 is bound to ESN 1 and ESN 2. Then, licenses 1 and 2 are combined into one license file, which is loaded on both BSCs. l In scenarios where both single- and dual-homed BTSs are configured, license 1 is generated when the order of BSC 1 is bound to ESN 1, and license 2 is generated when the order of BSC 2 is bound to ESN 2. Then, license 1 and license 2 are loaded on BSC 1 and BSC 2, respectively. The licenses for enabling this feature on BSCs 1 and 2 have been obtained.
l l l
IP transmission is used between the BSC and CN/BTS. A BTS cannot directly connect to a BSC over the Abis interface. Therefore, BTSs use routers to connect to the two BSCs in a redundancy group. For a BTS under two BSCs in a redundancy group, if the BTS is single-homed, it must be configured only under one BSC; if the BTS is dual-homed, it must be configured as a primary-homed BTS under one BSC and a secondary-homed BTS under the other BSC. The MSC is configured with M3UA links and M3UA link sets that connect to BSCs. Cell broadcast center (CBC) services do not support this feature. A redundancy group consists of only two BSCs. The two BSCs in a redundancy group connect to only one MSC or MSC pool. The two BSCs in a redundancy group connect to only one SGSN or SGSN pool. Only built-in packet control units (PCUs) support this feature. If both BSCs in a redundancy group are configured with dual-homed service objects, the size of data for the single- and dual-homed service objects configured under one BSC must not exceed the specification of the BSC.
l l l l l l l
Context
CAUTION
l Services are interrupted for 10 to 20 minutes when service objects are being migrated or migrated back. l Disable the BSC Node Redundancy feature before upgrading a BSC and enable this feature after the upgrade is complete. The data configuration for the BSC Node Redundancy feature consists of the following steps: 1. Configure signaling points and signaling links over the A interface. 2. Configure BTS data. 3. Configure signaling links over the inter-BSC interface. 4. Configure the BSC Node Redundancy feature. You can configure other BSC data using the same method as that in common scenarios. For details, see BSC6900 GSM Initial Configuration Guide.

NOTE
When BSC Node Redundancy is enabled, the data about BTSs and OPCs is configured in redundancy mode on two BSCs. Therefore, after configuring data on one BSC, you can copy the configuration scripts to the other BSC, thereby improving operation and maintenance (O&M) efficiency. However, you need to manually modify some parameters because they must be set to different values on the two BSCs. These parameters are classified into two types: l Parameters related to device IP, port IP, next-hop IP, and destination IP. Setting these parameters to different values on the two BSCs prevents conflicts of IP addresses. l Parameters related to BSC Node Redundancy, including The host type of signalling point, HostType, Local BSC ID, Peer BSC ID, BSC IP, and Peer BSC IP.

NOTE
In load sharing mode, configure both primary- and secondary-homed OPCs and signaling links. In active/standby mode, configure primary- or secondary-homed OPCs and signaling links. If the BSC has single-homed BTSs, configure single-homed OPCs and signaling links in the same method as that in common scenarios. For details, see BSC6900 GSM Initial Configuration Guide. To configure primary-homed OPCs and signaling links, run the following steps: (You can configure secondary-homed OPCs and signaling links using the same method. For details, see "Configuring data on BSC 2 LMT.")
a.
Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD OPC (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > OSP; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set OSP name, OSP index, Network ID, OSP code bits, Signal point data format, and OSP code to appropriate values. In addition, set The host type of signalling point to PRIMHOST(PRIMHOST). Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD N7DPC (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > DSP Of DPU; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add a destination signaling point (DSP) for the primary-homed OPC. In this step, set DSP name, DSP index, OSP index, Signal point data format, DSP code, DSP type, and DSP bear type to appropriate values. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD M3LE (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > M3UA Local Entity; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add an M3UA local entity for the primary-homed OPC. In this step, set OSP index to the same value as that for the primary-homed OPC. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD M3DE (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > M3UA Destination Entity; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add an M3UA destination entity for the primaryhomed OPC. In this step, set DSP index to the same value as that for the primary-homed OPC. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD M3LKS (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > M3UA Link Set; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add an M3UA link set for the primary-homed OPC. In this step, set Destination entity No. to the same value as that for the primaryhomed OPC. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD M3RT (CME single configuration: A Configuration Express > IP Transport > M3UA Route; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add an M3UA route for the primary-homed OPC. In this step, set Destination entity No. and Signalling link set index to the same values as those for the primaryhomed OPC. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD SCTPLNK (CME single configuration: A Configuration Express > IP Transport > SCTP Link; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add an SCTP link for the primary-homed OPC. In this step, set First local IP address, First

Configure BTS data.

l The configuration data for a dual-homing BTS must be consistent on BSC 1 and BSC 2.When configuring BTS homing attributes on the two BSCs, the value of BTS ID may be different, but the value of BTS NAME may be the same. During routine maintenance, when you change the value of a BTS-related parameter on BSC 1, you must simultaneously change the value of this parameter on BSC 2. To improve O&M efficiency, set BTS ID to the same value on both BSCs. l Configure a single-homed BTS using the same methods as that in common scenarios. For details, see BSC6900 GSM Initial Configuration Guide. l When configuring BTS homing attributes, set BSC IP, HostType, and Peer BSC IP to the values negotiated between the two BSCs. l To configure a dual-homed BTS for BSC 1 and BSC 2, run the following steps: (To configure multiple dual-homed BTSs for BSC 1 and BSC 2, repeat these steps.)
a. b.
Add a BTS onto BSC 1. For details, see Configuring a BTS in BSC6900 GSM Initial Configuration Guide. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSIP (CME single configuration: BTS IP Configuration Express > BTS IP Properties > IP BTS Communication Address; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set BTS IP, BSC IP, HostType, Peer BTS ID, Peer BSC ID, Peer BSC ID, and Peer BSC Mask to appropriate values. BSC IP and Peer BSC IP indicate the IP addresses of the two BSCs. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSIPRT (CME single configuration: BTS IP Configuration Express > BTS IP Transmission > BTS Route; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add routes from the BTS to the two BSCs. Configure neighboring cells by following the principles described in BSC Node Redundancy Feature Parameter Description. For details, see BSC6900 GSM Initial Configuration Guide. Configure PTP BVCs for the cells served by the dual-homed BTS on the two BSCs. For details, see BSC6900 GSM Initial Configuration Guide.

Configure BTS data.

l The configuration data for a dual-homing BTS must be consistent on BSC 1 and BSC 2.When configuring BTS homing attributes on the two BSCs, the value of BTS ID may be different, but the value of BTS NAME may be the same. During routine maintenance, when you change the value of a BTS-related parameter on BSC 1, you must simultaneously change the value of this parameter on BSC 2. To improve O&M efficiency, set BTS ID to the same value on both BSCs. l Configure a single-homed BTS using the same methods as that in common scenarios. For details, see BSC6900 GSM Initial Configuration Guide. l When configuring BTS homing attributes, set BSC IP, HostType, and Peer BSC IP to the values negotiated between the two BSCs. l To configure a dual-homed BTS for BSC 1 and BSC 2, run the following steps: (To configure multiple dual-homed BTSs for BSC 1 and BSC 2, repeat these steps.)

244.1 Configuring TC Pool (Ater over TDM)

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-113726 TC Pool in Ater over TDM transmission mode. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Prerequisites
l Dependencies on Hardware The EIUa/OIUa board is configured, and there are idle ports on the configured EIUa/ OIUa board. l Dependencies on Other Features This feature is mutually exclusive with the features GBFD-118602 A over IP and GBFD-118622 A IP over E1/T1. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites Network Topology At least two BSCs are configured in the network. The BM/TC subracks of the two BSCs are in separated configuration mode and the TC subrack of the two BSCs is configured remotely. The configuration of the clock source is the same for the two BSCs. For details on the configuration of the clock source, see Configuring the Clocks. Initial Data Preparation The global data is configured. For details, see Configuring the Global Information. The EIUa/OIUa board is configured. For details, see Configuring a Board. The BSC clock is configured. For details, see Configuring the Clocks.
Context
l To synchronize the frequency of the GSM network, the primary BSC and secondary BSCs in a TC pool should use the same clock source. In addition, a BSC can be connected to only one TC pool. One TC pool supports a maximum of 16 BSCs. All TCSs in a TC pool are configured and controlled on the primary BSC. The secondary BSC is only configured with the BM subrack. The primary BSC and secondary BSCs are connected to the TCS over the Ater interface, and the TCS is connected to the MSC over the A interface. The settings of TC CRC Allow must be the same on the primary BSC and secondary BSCs. If TFO Switch of the secondary BSCs is set to ENABLE(Enable), the TFO setting is effective only when TFO Option Switch of each TCS is set to ON(On) on the primary BSC. For details on the setting of TFO, see 51 Configuring TFO.

244.2 Configuring TC Pool (Ater over IP)

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-113726 TC Pool in Ater over IP transmission mode. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Prerequisites
l Dependencies on Hardware The EIUa/OIUa/POUc board is configured, and there are idle ports on the configured EIUa/OIUa/POUc board. l Dependencies on Other Features This feature is mutually exclusive to features GBFD-118602 A over IP and GBFD-118622 A IP over E1/T1. l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions. l Other Prerequisites Network Topology At least two BSCs are configured in the network. The BM/TC subracks of the two BSCs are in separated configuration mode and the TC subrack of the two BSCs is configured remotely. The configuration of the clock source is the same for the two BSCs. For details on the configuration of the clock source, see Configuring the Clocks. Initial Data Preparation The global data is configured. For details, see Configuring the Global Information. The EIUa/OIUa/POUc board is configured. For details, see Configuring a Board. The BSC clock is configured. For details, see Configuring the Clocks.
Context
l To synchronize the frequency of the GSM network, the primary BSC and secondary BSCs in a TC pool should use the same clock source. In addition, a BSC can be connected to only one TC pool. One TC pool supports a maximum of 16 BSCs.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
All TCSs in a TC pool are configured and controlled on the primary BSC. The secondary BSC is only configured with the BM subrack. The primary BSC and secondary BSCs are connected to the TCS over the Ater interface, and the TCS is connected to the MSC over the A interface. The settings of TC CRC Allow must be the same on the primary BSC and secondary BSCs. If TFO Switch of the secondary BSCs is set to ENABLE(Enable), the TFO setting is effective only when TFO Option Switch of each TCS is set to ON(On) on the primary BSC. For details on the setting of TFO, see 51 Configuring TFO.

245 Configuring OML Backup

Prerequisites
l l
Configuring OML Backup
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-113728 OML Backup. When the operation and maintenance link (OML) backup function of the BTS is enabled, the BTS automatically switches to anther port to set up an OML if the established OML is disconnected, thereby reducing service interruption duration.
Dependencies on Hardware The BTS3900B, BTS3900E, and BTS3X series base station do not support this feature. Dependencies on Other Features This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-117801 Ring Topology, GBFD-116601 Abis Bypass, GBFD-118601 Abis over IP, GBFD-118611 Abis IP over E1/T1, or GBFD-118401 Abis Transmission Optimization. When this feature is enabled simultaneously with the GBFD-113801 TRX Mutual Aid feature: The value of Flex Abis Mode of the BTS must be set to FLEX_ABIS(Flex Abis). TRX mutual aid is triggered by the active link. The static PDTCH on the active link is unavailable due to transmission faults. Therefore, you are advised to change the static PDTCH to dynamic PDTCH.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
924
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 OMLs on ports 0 and 1 of the BTS basic cabinet group support this feature. OMLs on other ports of the basic cabinet group and 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 an upper-level BTS. When the upper-level BTS is connected to the BSC by using only one E1/T1 cable and the lower-level BTS requires the OML backup function, a secondary link must be added to directly connect the upperlevel BTS or lower-level BTS to the BSC.
Context
l If the OML between the BSC and the BTS fails, the BTS cannot work. The OML Backup feature allows a pair of OMLs to be configured on two independent E1 cables (one for each). When the active OML is faulty, the BTS uses the standby OML. This prevents the BTS and cells from being out of service due to transmission failures or port failures. When this feature is used, one OML is configured on ports 0 and 1 of the BTS, respectively. After the BTS is reset, it attempts to establish OMLs on the two ports in turn. If the BTS establishes an OML on a port, it always uses the OML on this port unless the BTS is reset or the OML is disconnected. When the established OML is broken, the BTS attempts to establish an OML on another port. If the OML is established successfully, the BSC triggers an OML switchover procedure. After the OML switchover, the RSL, TCH, idle timeslot, and monitoring timeslot are not switched over. That is, for ports 0 and 1, if the transmission link or port where the active OML is located is faulty, all 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, cells under the BTS continue to provide services.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command DEA BTS (CME single configuration: Main View > Right click BTS > Deactivate BTS; CME batch modification center: not supported) to deactivate the BTS. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSOMLBACKUP (CME single configuration: BTS Configuration Express > BTS Extend Attributes > The Information on the Active/Standby Switchover of the OML; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set Configure Backup OML to YES (Yes) and set Wait Time before OML Switch and Try Switching Duration Time to appropriate values. Optional: Adjust the timeslot used by the active and standby OMLs of the BTS.

Prerequisites
l l l License
Configuring Access Control Class
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-511002 Access Control Class (ACC).
Other Prerequisites The MS and its SIM card meet the ACC-related requirements specified by the protocols.
Context
This feature enables special users and some common users to access the network preferentially when the network traffic is excessively high. When the ACC feature is enabled, the MS checks the access control class set in the SIM card based on the access control class included in the cell broadcast message. If the access control class is an allowed one, the MS can preempt the RACH to access the network. If the access control class is a forbidden one, the MS cannot access the network.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BSCACCCTRLP (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > Access Control Policy; CME batch modification center: 3.17 Modifying GBSC Parameters in Batches) with Access Control Policy Index, Access Control Window Size, Starting Point of the Access Control Window, and Sliding Speed of the Access Control Window set as required.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)

NOTE
246 Configuring Access Control Class
A maximum of 32 access control policies can be set. You can run the command in Step 1 for multiple times to set multiple access control policies. When the Access Control Policy is enabled and the system message is sent by the BSC, the access of the MSs of classes 10 to 15 is not affected regardless of the Access Control Policy configuration.
2.
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > Call Control Basic Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) with Access Control Allowed set to YES(Yes) and Access Control Policy to the value of Access Control Policy Index specified in Step 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST GCELLCCBASIC. Expected result: Access Control Allowed is set to YES(Yes), and Access Control Policy is specified.
2.
Run the BSC6900 MML command LST BSCACCCTRLP. Expected result: The values of Access Control Window Size, Starting Point of the Access Control Window, and Sliding Speed of the Access Control Window are those specified during configuration.
3.
Trace RSL messages on the Abis interface by referring to Tracing CS Domain Messages on the Abis Interface.
NOTE
The access-control-class in the RACH Control Parameters IE is called the ACC field. The ACC field contains two octets and is 16 bits in length. Each bit indicates a level of the SIM users and its value is 0 or 1. When a bit is 0, the SIM users of a certain level are allowed to access the network. When a bit is 1, the SIM users of a certain level are forbidden to access the network.
Expected result: The Information Element (IE) RACH Control Parameters is included in the system message, and within the sliding window range the value of the bits in the ACC field of the RACH Control Parameters is 1 from the starting point onwards. 4. When an MS is used to make a call in the period specified in Step 1, the MS cannot access the network if the level of the SIM card of the MS belongs to the forbidden levels. If the level of the SIM card does not belong to the forbidden levels, the MS can access the network normally. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLCCBASIC (CME single configuration: Cell Configuration Express > Call Control > Call Control Basic Parameters of Cell; CME batch modification center: 3.20 Modifying GSM Cell Parameters in Batches) with Access Control Allowed to NO(No) so that the ACC feature in a cell is deactivated.
----End

Configuring Adaptive Transmission Link Blocking
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-113729 Adaptive Transmission Link Blocking.
Dependencies on Hardware The BSC6900 has been configured with an POUc, OIUa, or EIUa board that supports TDM transmission. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Context
The transmission quality, especially the quality of microwave transmission, is vulnerable to bad weather, leading to degraded service quality and increased call drop rate. To prevent this problem, the BSC monitors transmission quality in real time. The BSC automatically blocks an E1 link if the transmission quality of the E1 link is lower than the specified threshold. After being blocked, the E1 link carries no service. After the transmission quality of the E1 link becomes desirable, the BSC unblocks the link. After being unblocked, the E1 link carries services.
WARNING
This feature blocks an E1/T1 adaptively, leading to service interruption on the E1/T1.

Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSE1T1BER (CME single configuration: BTS Configuration Express > BTS Basic Attributes > BTS E1/T1 BER Threshold; CME batch modification center: not supported) with BER OOS Switch set to ON(ON) and BER OOS Threshold set to O1E3_R5E4(OCCUR:1E3, RECOVERY:5E4).
NOTE
2.
Step 1 and Step 2 uses an example for your reference only. Set High BER Auto Isolation Threshold and BER OOS Threshold based on the field configuration.
Verification Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST E1T1 to query High BER Auto Isolation Switch and High BER Auto Isolation Threshold. Expected result: High BER Auto Isolation Switch is ON(ON) and High BER Auto Isolation Threshold is the same as that set in the activation procedure. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST BTSE1T1BER to query BER OOS Switch and BER OOS Threshold. Expected result: BER OOS Switch is ON(ON) and BER OOS Threshold is the same as that set in the activation procedure. 3. 4. Use the MS to make a call and wait for BER. Expected result: The BER is higher than 1E-3. Log in to the LMT or M2000 to view the alarms reported in real time. Expected result: An ALM-21207 E1/T1 Excessive Bit Error Rate alarm is reported with the cause value of BER within one minute exceeds the allowed limit. After 10 seconds the alarm is reported, ongoing services are interrupted.
Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET E1T1 (CME single configuration: Device Panel > Board > E1/T1 Port Parameters; CME batch modification center: not supported) with High BER Auto Isolation Switch set to OFF(OFF).

Configuring Semi-Permanent Connection
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature GBFD-114701 Semi-Permanent Connection.
Other Prerequisites The BTS3900B does not support this feature.
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.
Procedure
l Activation Procedure Activating a semi-permanent link 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD SEMILINK (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > Semipermanent Link; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add a semi-permanent link in the BSC. In this step, set Application Type to OTHER (OTHER) and Semipermanent Link Rate to an appropriate value as required.
NOTE
In BSC Start Timeslot No. and Out BSC Start Timeslot No. need to be set based on network planning. Ensure that the associated timeslots are not occupied.
Activating a monitoring timeslot 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSMONITORTS (CME single configuration: BTS Topology > Right click BTS > TimeSlot Management > Monitoring Timeslot; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add a monitoring timeslot. In this step, set Time Slot Rate to an appropriate value based on the site requirements.
NOTE
If the transmission mode of a BTS is IP over FE/GE, the BTS does not monitoring timeslots.
Verification Procedure Verifying a semipermanent link 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP SEMILINK to query the state of a semipermanent link.
Expected result: The value of State is OK. Verifying a monitoring timeslot 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST BTSMONITORTS to query the state of a monitoring timeslot.
Expected result: The information about the monitoring timeslot is displayed. l Deactivation Procedure Deactivating a semi-permanent link 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command RMV SEMILINK (CME single configuration: GSM Global Configuration Express > BSC Basic Configuration > Semipermanent Link; CME batch modification center: not supported) to remove a semi-permanent link.
Deactivating a monitoring timeslot 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command RMV BTSMONITORTS (CME single configuration: BTS Topology > Right click BTS > TimeSlot Management > Monitoring Timeslot; CME batch modification center: not supported) to remove a monitoring timeslot from a BTS.

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.
Dependencies on Hardware This feature requires support from the MSC and M2000. Dependencies on Other Features This feature does not depend on other features. License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Other Prerequisites This feature requires support from the MSC. The M2000 feature WOFD-190600 GBSS Enhanced Subscriber Tracing and WOFD-191400 G&U CS Subscriber Tracing have been enalbed.
Context
The end-to-end MS signaling tracing function creates or removes a user tracing task in the HLR. The HLR sends a tracing activation message to the MSC or VLR where the MS is located. When the traced MS requests services, the MSC instructs the BSC to start user tracing. After the MS moves to another MSC and initiates location update, the HLR sends a new tracing activation message to the new VLR. The original user tracing task ends. By using the end-to-end MS signaling tracing function, the system can collect information about a 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, facilitating fault handling.

251 Configuring Multi-mode Dynamic Power Sharing (GSM)
251
Prerequisites
l l
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).
Dependencies on Hardware Only the multi-mode RF modules support GSM and UMTS Dynamic Power Sharing at present. Dependencies on Other Features GSM and UMTS Dynamic Power Sharing can not be configured with dynamic spectrum sharing. 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. This feature can't be activated with WRFD-010684 2x2 MIMO or WRFD-010693 DL 64QAM+MIMO simultaneously. This feature has to be activated with MRFD-221801 Multi-mode Dynamic Power Sharing (UMTS) simultaneously.
Other Prerequisites The UMTS cell must exist HSDPA Carry.
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 therefore improved.
NOTE
l The feature may fail to retake 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 therefore 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 (CME single configuration: BTS Configuration Express > BTS Power > BTS GU Dynamic Power Sharing Parameters; CME batch modification center: not supported). 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 (CME single configuration: BTS Device Panel > RXU Topology > Right click RXU Board > RXU Board Porperties > RUX board Parameters; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set RXU Board Type to MRRU(MRRU) or MRFU (MRFU), set GU Dynamic Power Sharing Switch to YES(YES), and set parameters Minimum Number of Non-BCCH TRXs in GSM for GU Power Sharing, GSM Power Load Threshold for GU Power Sharing, Number of Checked Timeslots for Retrieving Shared Power, Num of Timeslots Meet Requirements for Retrieving Shared Pwr, GSM Power Reserve Coefficient for Retrieving Shared Power, GSM Idle Channel Threshold for GU Power Sharing, GSM Idle Channel Hysteresis for GU Power Sharing, GSM Power Reserve in Low Load for GU Power Sharing, GSM Power Reserve in High Load for GU Power Sharing, Maximum Accumulated Shared Power That UMTS Can Accept, Maximum Shared Power That UMTS Can Accept In Each Period to actual conditions. Run the NodeB MML command MOD LOCELL (CME single configuration: NodeB Configuration Express > IUB_NodeB > Radio Layer > xx Sector > Locell; CME batch modification center: Modifying Physical NodeB Parameters in Batches), set GU Power Share Flag to TRUE(TRUE). Run the BSC6900 MML command LST BTSGUPWRSHRFP and LST BTSRXUBP and check the returned message. Exception result: Board Parameter Configuration Enabled and GU Dynamic Power Sharing Switch are YES. 2. l Run the NodeB MML command LST LOCELL, and check the returned message. Exception result: GU Power Share Flag is YES. Deactivation Procedure 1. Run the NodeB MML command MOD LOCELL (CME single configuration: NodeB Configuration Express > IUB_NodeB > Radio Layer > xx Sector > Locell; CME batch modification center: Modifying Physical NodeB Parameters in Batches), set GU Power Share Flag to FALSE(FALSE).

Configuring GSM and UMTS
Dynamic Spectrum Sharing(GSM)
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature MRFD-211802 GSM and UMTS Dynamic Spectrum Sharing(GSM). This feature enables the spectrum resources to be dynamically shared between the GSM and UMTS networks based on their traffic load, improving frequency utilization.
Dependencies on Hardware The 900 MHz MRFU and RRU3908 must support this feature. Dependencies on Other Features The configurations of the features on which this feature depends are complete. This feature depends on the feature MRFD-221802 GSM and UMTS Dynamic Spectrum Sharing. This feature cannot be used together with GBFD-117002 IBCA, GBFD-117001 Flex MAIO, GBFD-115830 VAMOS, or GBFD-510104 Multi-site Cell.
Start Dynamic Spectrum Sharing on the M2000 by referring to GU DSS Management of the M2000 Online Help.
Context
The dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) between GSM and UMTS increases network throughput and reduces the total cost of data services because UMTS has higher spectral efficiency than GSM. In theory, the maximum throughput gain is about 50%. After this feature is used, the total cost of ownership (TCO) of mobile broadband (MBB) can be reduced, and dynamic GSM/ UMTS refarming can be implemented. Thus, the maintenance cost of manual refarming is reduced.

l
Configuring TDM-Based Multi-
Prerequisites
Dependencies on Hardware A GSM and UMTS dual-mode base station supports this feature. When the TDM timeslot cross connection co-transmission feature is supported by a GSM and UMTS dual-mode base station, a UTRP should be configured for the BTS. The UTRP type must be UTRP3, UTRP4, or UTRPb4. l Dependencies on Other Features WRFD-050302 Fractional ATM Function on Iub Interface or WRFD-050411 Fractional IP Function on Iub Interface l License The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the license, see 4 Activating the GSM License. For details about license items, see 2 Feature Activation and License Item Descriptions.
Context
This feature enables the BTS and NodeB to share E1/T1 transmission resources through a backplane clock channel with the effective TDM timeslot cross connection function. 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 transmitted 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 254-1.
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
Figure 254-1 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 254-2.
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.

Configuring Dynamic MA for GU
Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (GSM)
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the multi-mode feature MRFD-211803 Dynamic MA for GU Dynamic Spectrum Sharing(GSM). (For details about operations performed on the CME, see the Configuring a GU DSS Task in the M2000-CME documentation.)
Dependencies on Other Features The following features have been configured before this feature is activated: MRFD-211802 GSM and UMTS Dynamic Spectrum Sharing(GSM) and MRFD-221802 GSM and UMTS Dynamic Spectrum Sharing(UMTS). This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-117001 Flex MAIO.
Requirements for the Operating Environment The BTS is configured with the 900 MHz MRFU or RRU3908.
Context
After this feature is activated, the BSC starts spectrum sharing when the traffic volume of a cell is lighter than what can be carried on two or three TRXs, increasing the spectrum sharing time. Operators are advised to enable this feature in the scenario where the GSM and UMTS Dynamic Spectrum Sharing feature is enabled. l Precautions After this feature is activated, dynamically changing an absolute radio frequency channel number (ARFCN) of a cell leads to cell reset. This feature affects the following algorithms: Handover algorithm: During dynamic MA changing, the BSC performs an intra-cell handover on MSs in the GSM cell.
Admission algorithm: During dynamic MA changing, the BSC preferentially allocates timeslots with new MA to new MSs. l Data Preparation Paramet er Name FH Index Used After Frequenc y Spectrum Sharing MAIO Used After Frequenc y Spectrum Sharing Parame ter ID TRXDS SHOPIN DEX Description FH index of channels after spectrum sharing Data Source Network planning

Procedure
l Activation Procedure 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD GCELLMAGRP (CME single configuration: BTS Topology > Cell > Configure MA Group; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add the mobile allocations (MAs) before and after dynamic spectrum sharing is enabled. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXCHANHOP (CME single configuration: BTS Topology > Cell > Configure MA Group; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set FH Index Used After Frequency Spectrum Sharing and MAIO Used After Frequency Spectrum Sharing for the channels in the cell. Check that this feature has taken effect by viewing the value of the Number of dynamic MA changing requests counter. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GTRXCHANHOP (CME single configuration: BTS Topology > Cell > Configure MA Group; CME batch modification center: not supported). In this step, set FH Index Used After Frequency Spectrum Sharing to 255.

Parame ter ID GU2000 KHzMa xVal
Description Maximum power decrease for the interfering frequency when there is a 2.0 MHz frequency spacing between the GSM and UMTS networks. The expected transmit power of the interfering frequency can be calculated with the following formula: Expected transmit power of the interfering frequency = Maximum TRX transmit power GU2.0 MHz Max. Power Decrease for Interfering Frequency. The larger the parameter value, the lower the expected transmit power of the interfering frequency is, and the more GSM users are affected in terms of service quality. In this case, if this parameter is set to UMTS(UMTS), the UMTS network has more performance gains; if this parameter is set to GSM(GSM), the GSM users on which power compression is performed are more closer to the cell center. Maximum power decrease for the interfering frequency when there is a 2.2 MHz frequency spacing between the GSM and UMTS networks. The expected transmit power of the interfering frequency can be calculated with the following formula: Expected transmit power of the interfering frequency = Maximum TRX transmit power GU2.2 MHz Max. Power Decrease for Interfering Frequency. The larger the parameter value, the lower the expected transmit power of the interfering frequency is, and the more GSM users are affected in terms of service quality. In this case, if this parameter is set to UMTS(UMTS), the UMTS network has more performance gains; if this parameter is set to GSM(GSM), the GSM users on which power compression is performed are more closer to the cell center.

Multi-mode BS Common IPSec (GSM)
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the multi-mode feature MRFD-211602 Multi-mode BS Common IPSec(GSM). (This feature cannot be configured using the CME. )
Dependencies on Other Features This feature depends on the features GBFD-118601 Abis over IP and WRFD-050402 IP Transmission Introduction on Iub Interface. This feature cannot be used together with the feature GBFD-117702 BTS Local Switch or WRFD-031101 NodeB Self-discovery Based on IP Mode.
Requirements for the Operating Environment An MBTS must be configured with a UTRPc board to implement IPSec. If a GU dualmode base station does not support IPsec, a security gateway (SeGW) must be configured to implement IPsec. If the SEG will authenticate the base station connected to the bearer network by using the digital certificate, the PKI function must be enabled on both the base station and the SEG, and a KPI system must be deployed in the operator's network. If the base station controller connected to the base station does not support IPSec, an SEG must be deployed in the network to use IPSec. If the base station is configured with a primary IPSec tunnel and a secondary IPSec tunnel, the SeGW must be configured with a dynamic routing protocol.
Context
IPSec Networking of an MBTS l IPSec networking for a GU, GL, and UL dual-mode base station: IPSec-related data on the UTRPc board is configured by the mode with the highest priority. During secure base station deployment, all security-related configuration data is configured by the mode with

a higher priority. The mode with a lower priority does not participate in secure base station deployment. l IPSec networking for a GUL triple-mode base station: GU+L (BBU interconnection): IPSec is implemented on the LMPT board, and the UTRPc board forwards the LTE service data and processes UMTS and GSM IPSec data. IPSec-related data on the UTRPc board is configured by the mode with a higher priority. If digital certificates are used for identity authentication, the LMPT and UTRPc boards use their respective digital certificates to authenticate with the SeGW. GU+L (BBU interconnection): IPSec is implemented on the UMPT board, and the UTRPc board forwards the UMTS service data and processes LTE and GSM IPSec data. IPSec-related data on the UTRPc board is configured by the mode with a higher priority. If digital certificates are used for identity authentication, the UMPT and UTRPc boards use their respective digital certificates to authenticate with the SeGW. In other BBU interconnection scenarios: The UTRPc board performs IPSec-related processing. IPSec-related data on the UTRPc board is configured by the mode with a higher priority. If digital certificates are used for identity authentication, the UTRPc board uses its digital certificate to authenticate with SeGW, and the three mode of the base station share the same IPSec tunnels and digital certificate. l Data Preparation Parameter Name Local Name Parameter ID IKELNM Remarks Set this parameter to be consistent with that on the peer end.

l Activation Procedure To configure active and standby IPSec tunnels, perform Step 1 to Step 12. Otherwise, perform Step 1 to Step 9. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Optional: Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSIKECFG to set IKE local configurations. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSACL to add an access control list (ACL). Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSACLRULE to add access rules in the ACL. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSIKEPROPOSAL to configure IKE security proposals. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSIKEPEER to add an IKE peer. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSIPSECPROPOSAL to add IPSec security proposals. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSIPSECPOLICY to add IPSec security policies. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSIPSECBIND to bind the IPSec security policy to the output port to validate the security policy. Optional: When the BTS uses an IP clock, the clock server is in a non-security domain, and Clock Topology Mode is set to PTPOVERUDP, Run the BSC6900 MML command SET BTSIPCLKPARA. In this step, set Clock Protocol Type to PTP (PTP Protocol), Clock Topology Mode to PTPOVERUDP(PTP over UDP Unicast), and Client IP Address to the IP address used for the communication between the BTS and the clock server.
10. Optional: Repeat Step 1 to Step 9 to configure the second IPSec tunnel. 11. Optional: Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSBFD to configure a Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) session for the two IPSec tunnels respectively. 12. Optional: Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSIPSECDTNL to configure the active/standby relationship between the two IPSec tunnels. l Verification Procedure If the active and standby IPSec tunnels have been configured, perform Step 1 to Step 3. Otherwise, perform Step 1 and Step 2. 1. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP BTSIPSECSA to check the IPSec tunnel status. Expected result: The results contain IPSec security association (SA) data, indicating that the IPSec tunnels are set up. 2. Run the BSC6900 MML command LST BTSACLRULE to determine whether service data is protected by the IPSec as planned by checking ACL rules and check
Issue 06 (2013-04-15)
whether the protected services are normal. For example, if speech services are protected by the IPSec, you can check whether the speech services are normal by initiating calls. If management packets are protected by the IPSec, you can check whether the corresponding BTS is online from the topology window on the M2000. Expected result: Service data is protected by the IPSec as planned and the protected services are normal. 3. Remove the Ethernet cable connecting to the active channel, and Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP BTSIPSECDTNL to check whether Current Used IPSec Policy is Slave IPSec Policy. Use an MS to initiate a call and observe whether the call is normal. Check whether the corresponding BTS is online from the topology window on the M2000. Expected result: Current Used IPSec Policy is Slave IPSec Policy, the call initiated by the MS is normal, and the corresponding BTS is online. l Deactivation Procedure 1. ----End Run the BSC6900 MML command RMV BTSIPSECBIND to delete the binding relationship between the IPSec security policy and the corresponding port.
