HD Voice 2G
Advantages:
benefit from HD voice quality on 2G access
allow HD Voice calls between 2G and 3G
increase HD call probability
Pre-requisites
the same as 3G HD Voice
Ran renewal AoTDM => IP on A interface (AoIP on BSS MGW interface)
licenses required:
a MSOFTX3000 license (since CS9.2 realease)
a UMG8900 license
a HWI BSC license (to be confirmed for other providers)
Implementation of Transcoder Free Operation feature (TrFO) dedicated to 2G
support of WB AMR codecs all along the service delivery chain
Devices : Both must be WB compliant and on 2G

lab validation strategy
AoIP Lab Validation Huawei CS9.2 Objectives
The aims of the Orange Labs Validation of

HDVoice with Huawei CS9.2 CORE network
(CPCI and ATCA) are
Validation of the right behavior of the HD
Voice feature on 2G (and on 3G), in CS9.2
functional and performance tests, focused
on audio quality aspect
Improve Orange Corporate knowledge of

Huawei HD Voice 2G implementation to
better support MCO deployment
AoIP validation Group based on FPTC (Frame

Packet Transcoder)
FPTC is the solution recommended by Huawei for AoIP TrFO and so also for HD
Voice 2G
AMR signals transmitted over A interfaces comply with the RFC4867 protocol,
and over Nb interfaces comply with the User Plane (UP) protocol (contain UP
header)
framing adaptation (packet header) must be performed between RTP frames &
Iu/Nb UP frames used between MGWs.
if on both call sides the same codec rate and packet time are used to transmit
AMR packets, Huawei used FPTC feature to change frame formats of the
packets to
allow TrFO function
avoid audio TC usage
FPTC ressources
Depending on the call traffic, almost one or several VPU boards

configured (CODECAP) with FPTC are required
one UG03MVPD supports :
6000 channels FPTC (configured FPTC)

3072 channels AMR (configured WCDMA)
2304 channels GSM HR/FR/EFR (configured GSMHR)
1344 channels WB AMR (configured WCDMAWB)

Specificities of Orange labs architecture

Only one BSC AoIP:
2G Wide-band (WB) AoIP to 2G WB AoIP calls are only done in intra

BSC AoIP
so inter-BSC, inter-MGW, inter MSC 2GAoIP to 2GAoIP calls have not
been tested
Only 3 HO possible:
HO 3G (RNC 8 HWI) -> 2GAoIP (intra, or inter MSC)
HO 2G AoIP -> 2G TDM BSC BAL02 A-LU
HO 2G AoIP -> 3G (RNC 8 HWI) (intra MSC)
MSCs in pool for most of radio access (all except 3G RNC8 A-LU,
2G TDM BSC BAL7 A-LU, 2G AoIP BSC Huawei)
Some radio access in Cevennes, some in Lannion

Specific test call results

when a BSC is loaded, FR_AMR_WB will never be selected on 2G
AoIP access for a new call, HR-AMR will be used on radio interface.
normal behaviour because FR_AMR_WB needs a full rate channel, and not
possible on a half-rate channel
2G AoIP HDVoice calls are only possible on 2G cells when those 2G cells are
on a non-loaded state
another improvement of CS9.2, for WB_AMR resources usage is that :

WB_AMR isnt used anymore for call 3GWB to TDM (PSTN or 2G TDM),
corresponding to call were HDVoice audio quality is not possible at all.
WB-AMR was used for some of that calls in CS9.0.
In CS9.2 with SP1012BIT4 set to 0, the NB_AMR is chosen for
originating side with a WB handset to TDM link,
except for 3GWB->2GTDM intra-MSC/intra-MGW (PR_384), but this
will be corrected soon (end February 2014).
22
Observed limitations (1/2)

A solution was provided with CS9.2 to allow compatibility between (set
P16BIT2 to 0 on MGW):
HR_AMR on A interface (RFC4867 protocol)
FR_AMR or UMTS_AMR2 on Nb interface ( UP protocol)
but an issue on RNC HWI makes us to do our validation with SP16BIT2 to 1 (to
avoid silent call in direction 3G to 2G)
so for this call, 2 more TCs are needed
2G HR_AMR AoIP
2G or PSTN (in inter MGW or inter MSC)
2G HR_AMR AoIP
3G in intra MSC, inter MGW and inter MSC
Nevertheless with a right setting on the Utran (validated finally after validation tests
with A-LU and Huawei RNC):
CS_AMRC_SWITCH::ON
QoS Switch for AMR Traffic = NO
the compatibility HR/FR (P16BIT2 set to 0) may be activated. This with the
advantages of reduction of TC resources usage (replaced by FPTC) and also audio
quality improvement for the corresponding calls.
23
Observed limitations (2/2)

Interaction between the TrFO feature and other features
this behavior was observed during our tests validation
PR388: Call Forwarding Unconditional on 2GAoIP with a UE WB_AMR

and a UE FR_AMR: 2 TC used because there is no codec renegotiation
for 2G call
These limitations have no impact on the right behavior of the feature

24
conclusion
25
Conclusion and next steps

With the right settings for MSC, MGW, RNC, and BSC parameters,
HD Voice on 2G feature is working fine on Huawei core network
Audio Quality is wide-band for 2G WB to 2G WB call and 2GWB to
3GWB calls
Huawei FPTC are mandatory and allow to reduce the TC resource usage
Note that Orange labs test platform was restricted to one BSC AoIP, and only
few HOs => For 1st field deployments the behavior for 2GWB AoIP to 2GWB
AoIP calls in inter-MSC and inter-MGW, and HO cases should be checked
deeply
Next steps:
Delivery of Ready For Field Trial (RFT) for HD Voice 2G feature
Launch of HD Voice 2G field test
Delivery of Green Light (if field tests are successful)

Time Alignment procedure

During this validation dedicated tests were performed to evaluate the correction
implemented in CS9.2 regarding Time Alignment (TA) procedure, not linked to 2G
HDVoice feature.
In CS9.0, 2 issues were observed on Huawei CN for TA (highlighted with tests with ALU RNC).
Drops of packet by MGW doing IP/ATM conversion in case of inter-MGW calls
Not right Time Adjustment performed by Huawei MGW on 2 cases over 4 possible
cases.
The effect was a very bad audio quality for 3G-2GTDM or 3G-PSTN inter-MGW calls
these 2 issues lead to the deactivation of TA on CN : UMG SP97BITS15-14 set to 01
The correction needs usage of FPTC and UMG SP16BIT1 to be set to 0.

Unfortunately, tests done shown a little improvement, but the audio quality is still very
bad.
Conclusion : Correction is not applicable => keep current recommendation regarding TA (TA
de-activated), and do not activate that CS9.2 TA correction.

this solution was activated during orange labs validation on
