Introduction
This presentation is designed to provide an introduction to
the planning, optimization and implementation processes
in 2G Ericsson networks.
However, this file tries to explain and mention the most
important things that a RF engineer needs to know for
Network Optimization along with some examples.
As a matter of fact, this topic is prepared for engineer that
has good knowledge about GSM and optimization but
he/she are not familiar with Ericsson BSS networks.

 Multi-standard Configurations
A multi-standard RBS supports installation of nodes
of different radio access systems in the same
cabinet. In a multi-standard RBS, the support
system is shared between the nodes in the cabinet.
Each radio access system node is managed
separately using its own radio standard tools, but
only the primary node controls and supervises the
support system. Multi-standard configurations can
be either single mode or mixed mode
configurations.
Single Mode
Mixed Mode

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 13

 CONFACT (Concentrator Factor)
Confact: The maximum number of TRXs that can share a 64 kbit/s
A-bis time slot is equal to CONFACT or is the maximum allowed
LAPD concentration factor in the TG and it is set per TG. Specifies
the maximum number of TRXCs that can be LAPD concentrated on
the same transmission device.
The LAPD concentrator receives messages from several TRXs and
sends these messages on one 64 kbit/s Abis time slot to BSC. The
LAPD concentrator also receives messages on this Abis time slot
from the BSC and distributes them to the TRXs.
The maximum value is 4, however the value depends on the
maximum number of SDCCH/8 per TRX defined for the TG.
Max number of SDCCH/8s per TRX Max concentration ratio

 FREQUENCY HOPPING
AND
MAIO MANAGEMENT
BACK TO MAIN MENU

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 36

 Achievements
More uniform speech quality
A more dependable and predictable radio
environment
Increased capacity (tighter frequency re-use enabled)
Capabilities
Up to 128 frequencies can be assigned per cell
Note: maximum of 32 frequencies per Channel
Group (CHGR)
Frequencies can be reused (except the BCCH frequency)
in other CHGRs within the cell

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 37

 Types of Hopping Sequences
Number (HSN)

Cyclic hopping sequence

the frequencies are used consecutively. A cyclic
sequence is specified by setting parameter
HSN to 0.
Random hopping sequence
is implemented as a pseudo-random sequence.
63 independent sequences can be defined.

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 38

 Hopping Modes

Baseband hopping (FHOP = BB)

In baseband hopping, each transmitter is
assigned with a fixed frequency.

Synthesizer hopping (FHOP = SY)

Synthesizer hopping means that one
transmitter handles all bursts that belong to a
specific connection

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 39

 Baseband Hopping
+ A narrow-band filter combiner
can be used. To this combiner it is
possible to connect up to 6 TRXs
without more than 3dB combiner
loss.

- It is impossible to hop on more

frequencies than there are TX:s.

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 40

 Synthesizer Hopping
+ It is possible to hop on more
frequencies than there are
transmitters.

- Hybrid combiners must be

used. When connecting many
transmitters the loss will be
big.

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 41

 MAIO Management

The MAIO Management feature provides

increased control over synthesized frequency
hopping to minimize channel interference
within a site (or between sites if synchronized
network is used).

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 42

 MAIO Algorithm
At frequency hopping MAIO values are used (together with
the HSN and the current FN) to point out the frequencies to
be used from the HFS at an instant in time.
Cyclic hopping
"pointer" = (MAIO+FN) modulo (number of frequencies in
HFS)
Random hopping
"pointer" = (MAIO+random value) modulo (number of
frequencies in HFS)

MAIO : Mobile Allocation Index Offset

FN : Frame Number

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 43

Example
Cyclic hopping
"pointer" = (MAIO+FN) modulo (number
of frequencies in HFS)
Random hopping
"pointer" = (MAIO+random value)
modulo (number of frequencies in HFS)

For instance, in Cyclic hopping, 3 TRX:s

in a cell, nine frequencies in the HFS.
The
current FN is 1. The first TRX use
frequency number:
(FN+MAIO) mod (# of frequencies in
HFS) = (1+0) mod 9 = 1 (which will
relate the pointer to the second
frequency in the HFS .
The next time FN=2 and the
pointers will be shifted downwards one MAIO : Mobile Allocation Index Offset
step. FN : Frame Number

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 44

 Default MAIO list

The order of the MAIO values in the default list

are arranged in a "first even then odd MAIO
values" manner. (with HFS containing 7
frequencies the default list will be 0, 2, 4, 6, 1,
3, 5)
The actual MAIO values to be used for a CHGR
depends on the number of TRXs for the CHGR.

 MULTI BAND CELL
(COMMON BCCH)

BACK TO MAIN MENU

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 48

 Why we use Multi Band Cell?
Restriction of Dynamic BTS Power Control features because of BCCH
frequency
Restriction of Discontinuous Transmission on the BCCH frequency
Restriction of Frequency Hopping on the BCCH frequency
All the frequencies in the non-BCCH frequency band can be more efficiently
reused
There is one more timeslot available for traffic in the non-BCCH frequency
band
The number of defined cells and neighbor relations in a BSC of a multi band
cell network is reduced

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 49

Common BCCH

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 50

 Reducing the number of neighbor
relation = Reducing the measurements
performed and reported by the MS

less neighbor relations means less

restrictions on the total number of available
positions in measurement reports.
less neighbor relations lead to more
accurate measurements performed and
reported by the MS, since there is more
time available for measurements of each
neighbor
Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 51
Reduced number of defined cells and
neighbor relations

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 52
 Inter Cell Handovers

The offset (FBOFFS) is

added to the measured
signal strength of the active
channel at the non-BCCH
1800 frequency band
(RxLevA), so the BSC can
locate the MS as if it would
be served by the BCCH 900
frequency band instead.

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 53

 Sub-Cell Load Distribution

Without Subcell Load Distribution acitvated, mobile stations within the OL

subcell service area will be served by the OL subcell even if there is a lot of
spare capacity in the UL subcell. This is generally undesirable since the OL
subcell frequencies may be more vulnerable to interference than the
frequencies in the UL subcell.

With Subcell Load Distribution activated, the OL subcell is only used when
the traffic in the UL subcell increases beyond a certain limit. Secondly, the
mobiles closest to the site are moved to the OL subcell, which means that
power control are more effective for the OL subcell and less interference is
spread.

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 54

Change Sub-Cells from UL to OL
Only mobile stations that fulfill the
following three conditions for LOL,
TAOL and DTCB are allowed to
change subcells from UL to OL:

L < LOL - LOLHYST

TA< TAOL - TAOLHYST
SS(s) - SS(n) > DTCB

No SDCCH should be configured in OL subcell, which makes use of Subcell

Load Distribution, since it is only applicable to traffic channels. With SCLD
activated, only assignment to UL is allowed, which makes SDCCH in the OL
subcell inaccessible.

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 55

 Parameters for Multi Band
Cell Optimization
LOL : Path loss threshold. It defines the OL sub-cell coverage
border in terms of the path loss from the serving cell.
LOLHYST : Hysteresis for the path-loss criterion during
evaluations for the OL sub-cell coverage.
DTCB : Distance to cell border threshold. It defines the OL sub-
cell coverage border in terms of the signal strength difference
between the active channel and the strongest neighboring
BCCHs.
DTCBHYST : Hysteresis for the DTCB criterion during
evaluations for the OL sub-cell coverage.
TAOL : Timing advance threshold. It defines the OL sub-cell
timing advance border.
TAOLHYST : Hysteresis for the timing advance criterion during
evaluations for the OL sub-cell coverage.

 CELL LOAD
SHARING
(CLS)
BACK TO MAIN MENU

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 58

 Cell Load Sharing Consists
of the Following Activities:

The traffic load in the cells are monitored

If a cell has too high load, MSs close to the cell
Border are made to perform a handover
The handovers are carried out if the receiving
cell has Low enough load

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 59

There are two levels:

CLSLEVEL
if the amount of idle traffic channels is equal to or
decreases below CLSLEVEL in a cell, that cell
tries to rid itself of some traffic by initiating load
sharing handover to neighboring cells
CLSACC
if the amount of idle traffic channels is above load
CLSACC in a cell, that cell is prepared to accept
incoming load sharing handovers from other
cells.

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 60

 Conditions for neighboring
cell

The cell belongs to the same BSC

The cell belongs to the same HCS-layer
Incoming CLS handovers are allowed
(HOCLSACC=ON)

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 61

CLS Parameters
Clsacc : Cell Load Sharing level above which a
cells traffic must remain if its to accept
handovers due to Cell Load Sharing.
Clslevel : Cell Load Sharing level at which a
cells traffic will cause Cell Load Sharing
evaluation.
Clsstate : State of Cell Load Sharing in the
cell : ACTIVE or INACTIVE.
Hoclsacc : Handover due to Cell Load
Sharing accepted : ON or OFF.

CHANNEL ADMINISTRATION

BACK TO MAIN MENU

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 65

 The capability of the feature channel
Administration is to select and allocate one or
more suitable channels in each traffic
situation the requires a set of cannels.
If several types of channels are possible to
allocate in a specific traffic situation, the
order in which the different types are
preferred is defined.

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 66

 Channel Administration
There are three main situations in which a set of
channels is allocated:
Immediate assignment when a connection is to be
established, a channel for signaling has to be
allocated. Depending on the traffic situation and the
chosen CHAP, the channel could be either a Stand
alone Dedicated Control Channel (SDCCH) or a Traffic
Channel (TCH).
Assignment - after an Immediate assignment on
SDCCH, when a channel for speech/data is needed, a
TCH has to be allocated.
Handover - when a connection in use is to be changed, a
new channel has to be allocated.

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 67

Channel Administration Processing

A CHAP is a list of all possible Selection Type (STs). Each ST is assigned

one Resource Type Priority List (RTPL). There are eleven profiles to
choose among by the parameter CHAP. Each profile represents a
specific channel allocation strategy.

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 68

Selection Type
The following data is needed to select a suitable channel:
Traffic Case
e.g. Assignment, Inter/Intra cell handover, Subcell change etc.
Preferred Subcell
Overlaid or Underlaid Subcell
Channel Mode
Speech/data or signaling
Channel Service
A list of channel type and speech versions/data rates in order of
preference
Multislot Data
Number of channels requested etc.

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 69

 Resource Type (RT)

An RT is a unique type of channel. It is a

combination of subcell, channel type and rate.
An MS can be assigned 6 different Resource
Types (RTs):
RT1.1 OL/TCH/FR
RT1.2 OL/TCH/HR
RT2.1 UL/TCH/FR
RT2.2 UL/TCH/HR
RT3 OL/SDCCH
RT4 UL/SDCCH
Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 70
Immediate Assignment on TCH / SDCCH

Immediate assignment on SDCCH

If signaling => remains on SDCCH
If speech/data => assignment to TCH
Immediate assignment on TCH
If SMS => transferred by the SACCH part
If signaling (LU, supplementary services etc.) =>
transferred by the FACCH part
If speech/data => change of channel mode at
assignment

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 72

CHAP 5
and
CHAP 6

CHAP 5: This profile provides a channel allocation strategy similar to the

default profile. However, if an UL subcell is preferred, and there is no
available idle channel in the UL subcell, an attempt is made to allocate a
channel from the OL subcell as a last resort. The purpose of this strategy
is to avoid unsuccessful handovers or blocked calls when the UL subcell is
congested, but there are available idle channels in the OL subcell. The
drawback is that the OL subcell may serve MSs outside its defined serving

(HCS)

BACK TO MAIN MENU

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 75

 HCS Discription

The HCS feature provides the possibility and

flexibility to give priority to cells that are not
strongest but provide sufficient received signal
strength. The priority of a cell is given by associating
a layer to the cell. Each layer is also belonging to a
HCS band. The lower the layer (and HCS band), the
higher the priority. The layer and band definition
should take consideration in several factors like:
Traffic distribution strategy among different cells;
Maximum traffic capacity for the cells;
Influence of interference on the cells, etc.
Up to eight layers (in up to eight bands) may be defined using
HCS

Example of HCS Band and Layers

Technical Description
The layer threshold decides if the cell should be prioritized over stronger cells
of the same HCS band.
The band threshold decides if the cell should be prioritized over stronger cells
from other HCS bands

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 78

 Fast Moving Mobiles

To prevent fast moving mobiles form doing

HO to lower layer cells, a penalty is used
PSSTEMP : penalty SS offset
PTIMTEMP : penalty duration
The first time a cell is reported as a neighbor
to the serving cell of the fast moving mobile,
the cell is punished with PSSTEMP dB and
the punishment lasts for PTIMTEMP seconds

 AMR
(ADAPTIVE MULTI RATE)

BACK TO MAIN MENU

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 80

 Why AMR?

Improve speech quality at low C/I

The robust FR channel that provides high
speech quality at low C/I , then apply tighter
frequency reuse in a network with high AMR
Possible to change speech codec during the
call , depending on interference conditions
The enhanced speech quality also provides
better coverage at the edges of the cell, thus
making it possible to increase the coverage
area.
Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 81
 AMR General Information
Adaptive Multi Rate (AMR) is a new speech and channel
codec for both half rate and full rate channels. By adapting
the codec rate to the radio conditions the speech quality is
enhanced. At low C/I, a large amount of channel coding is
applied and less speech coding. When the C/I increases the
speech coding is increased and the channel coding is
decreased.
Both the BTS (uplink ) and the MS (downlink) continuously
measures the radio quality (C/I) and based on these
measurements the codec rate is changed. AMR requires
support in all network nodes, i.e. MSC, BSC, BTS and MS
and AMR is only supported in cells where all TRUs are AMR
capable.

 IDLE MODE BEHAVIOR

BACK TO MAIN MENU

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 101

 Idle Mode Behavior
The idle mode behavior is managed by the MS. It can be
controlled by parameters which the MS receives from the
base station on the Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH). All
of the main controlling parameters for idle mode behavior
are transmitted on the BCCH carrier in each cell. These
parameters can be controlled on a per cell basis.

Idle Mode Tasks:

PLMN Selection
Cell Selection
Cell Reselection
Location Updating
Monitor PCH (Paging Channel)

Mohammad Rasoul Tanhatalab 2013 102

 Cell Priority
CBQ CB CELL SELECTION CELL RE-SELECTION

HIGH NO NORMAL NORMAL

HIGH YES BARRED BARRED

LOW NO LOW NORMAL

LOW YES LOW NORMAL

When a cell is barred it will not be camped on by an MS in idle mode but an active (i.e. an
MS in dedicated mode) can perform handover to it.
Cells can have three levels of priority; barred, normal and low. Suitable cells that are of low
priority are only camped on if there are no other suitable cells of normal priority. The
priority of a cell is controlled by the Cell Bar Qualify parameter CBQ (only valid for mobiles
supporting GSM phase 2), in conjunction with the Cell Bar Access parameter , CB. It is
probably better to set CBQ to HIGH to speed up cell selection for phase 2 MSs since CBQ
makes no difference at cell reselection.
