includes the following changes.
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
To support roaming and handovers between GSM and UMTS, a GSM network must be
compatible with a UMTS network. In this case, operators need to provide continuous and
high-quality services in the boundary of different systems to avoid call drops caused by the
movement of MSs.
Traditionally, inter-RAT neighboring cells are configured based on drive tests and analysis.
This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the test results are not
comprehensive enough due to the limitations of drive tests. To improve efficiency and
accuracy of neighboring cell configuration between radio access technologies (RATs), a tool
is required to automatically check the inter-RAT neighboring cell configuration based on data
analysis.
Together with the Nastar network optimization tool, Huawei GSM base station system
(GBSS) can analyze the neighboring 2G/3G cell configuration based on numerous
measurement reports (MRs) from MSs, show the analysis results on a map, and identify
missing or redundant neighboring 2G/3G cells for a GSM serving cell.
Configuring appropriate neighboring 2G/3G cells based on the Nastar analysis results helps
improve the intra-RAT and inter-RAT handover success rates and reduce the call drop rate and
enhance GSM network quality and user experience.

3 Technical Description
NOTE
During a neighboring cell automatic optimization task in the 2G mode or between the 2G and 3G
modes, if STEP is not configured, the BSC calculates the measurement step based on the number
of frequencies in the BA2 list for each cell. To query the calculated measurement step for a cell,
run the DSP NCS or DSP N3GCS command.
Some BCCH frequencies will not be measured in each subsequent measurement period if both of
the following conditions are met:
l The 2G cell is not configured with neighboring 3G or LTE cells when a neighboring cell
automatic optimization task in the 2G mode is started.
l Users configure neighboring 3G or LTE cells for the 2G cell during the implementation of this
task.
The 2G/3G Neighboring Cell Automatic Optimization feature does not support the preceding
scenario.
2. The Nastar sends the task information to the U2000. The U2000 then sends the task
information to the BSC by using an MML command. After receiving this command, the
BSC performs the measurement and generates results.
3. The BSC updates the BA2 table once in a measurement period. The BSC adds UMTS
cells (frequencies and scrambling codes) into the BA2 table (the number of newly-added
cells is the same as the measurement step), and then sends the updated BA2 table to MSs
by using the system information (SI). Then, MSs report the level of 3G neighboring cells
in MRs.
4. The BSC collects MRs from MSs, and sends the data to the U2000.
5. The Nastar obtains the measurement files, configuration data, and counter values from
the U2000, and then provides the optimization suggestions after analysis.
6. The neighboring 2G/3G cell analysis results are displayed in a map. Together with
engineering parameters, the analysis results help network optimization engineers identify
missing and redundant neighboring 2G/3G cells.
