TC/BM combined or separated

If GTCS is configured as remote subrack, TC/BM separated mode have to be chose. If GTCS is configured as local subrack, i.e., BSC and MSC are in the same equipment room, BM/TC combined mode is recommended.

The advantage is low cost, fewer racks and boards, less space and power consumption.
If E1/T1 are used on A interface, capacity of GTCS will be reduced, so optical interface boards is recommended on A interface.

If GTCS is local and configured as separated mode, STM-1 on Ater interface is recommended to facilitate cable routing. Which mode is better, TC/BM

Scene Three

A interface over IP or not

Only HUAWEI core network equipment is compatible, because in A over IP configuration, A interface IP protocol is not the standard one and other venders equipments is not supported to connect with HUAWEIBSC6000 currently.

Advantages of A interface over IP

IP transmission complies with 3GPP roadmap, which is benefit for future investment. Wide transmission band leads to convenient development of new service for operator. Low cost, short construction period, convenient operation, less expense of CAPEX and OPEX. TrFO function is supported, where TC resource, voice coding and decoding process will be reduced, and voice quality will be enhanced.

Problem: external clock resource is needed.

Scene Four

How to choose Abis over HDLC? Abis interface support three transmission modes:

Abis over TDM: Physical transmission medium is E1/T1/STM-1. Abis over HDLC: Physical transmission medium is E1/T1, and STM-1 is not

supported.

Save Abis interface transmission resource and reduce CAPEX. 24TRXs(FR) or 21TRXs(HR) per E1. Improve efficiency of Abis interface resource by 30%~40%. Low CAPEX and its profitable for 2G/3G transmission jointly. IP transmission has better adaptability and accords with packet service flow mode. Simple configuration, Abis interface physical link resource and corresponded channel resource of Um interface need not to be considered.

Abis over IPSupports FE/GE interface.

Abis interface transmission optimization will be mainly used in the sites lack of transmission resource, so it will be decided by the actual

transmission network structure.

Abis interface supports TDM, IP and HDLC mode. How to choose

Function Introduction
1, Support built-in and external PCU, but only one configuration mode can be used at the same time. 2, When Abis is over HDLC/IP, only built-in PCU could be used. 3, Packet features: supports Gb over FR/Gb over IP, supports SGSN POOL. 1, Abis over IP The Abis over IP function provides FE and GE interfaces and supports the IPv4 protocol. The BSC connects to the BTS through a LAN or WAN, depending on the location of the BSC and BTS. The Abis over IP function supports active/standby mode and load sharing mode, and enjoys very high reliability. The GBSS equipment realizes the following QoS mechanism, and provides end-to-end QoS assurance. 2, A over IP After the IP technologies are applied on the A interface, it is unnecessary to conduct inter-conversion between the GSM voice codes and 64 kbit/s PCM codes. Therefore, the BSS equipment does not realize the TC function. The TC function is realized in the MGW. Huawei BSS equipment extends the A interface protocol. Supporting the TrFO function, the BSS equipment can reduce the coding event count and improve the voice quality. 3, Gb over IP The function can simultaneously support two end-to-end communication modes between the PCU and the SGSN: frame relay (FR) and IP network. The NS module chooses different uplink and downlink handling processes based on transmission modes. The FR uplink and downlink handling process is performed according to the existing implementation mode. For the network transmission mode, the uplink and downlink handling process of the IP network is used. 4, Support BTS CLK IP configuration function.

Index Items Function Introduction
If the application of EFR function can improve speech quality and both the MS and the BSC support the EFR function, the EFR function can be forcedly enabled on the BSC side if EFR is unavailable because the MSC does not 7 Forced EFR function in BSC support it. In this case, EFR should be shielded on the MSC side to avoid assignment failure or handover failure. This function is mainly applied in the areas with poor speech quality. The Abis interface transmission optimization function converges the Abis Abis Transmission 8 Optimization timeslots of a BTS on an HDLC channel, detects and compresses the idle voice frames by using the VAD technology, and sends the compressed data packets over the Abis HDLC channels for statistical multiplexing. This can greatly improve the E1/T1 bandwidth utilization rate. The convergence node is referred to a Hub BTS. The BTS under the Hub BTS is referred to a leaf node. The Hub BTS processes data in HDLC frame format. The occupied Abis timeslot is referred to an HDLC channel. The function, together with the Abis interface transmission optimization function, detects and 9 Hub BTS in HDLC Mode compresses the data to be transmitted of a BTS and the lower-level leaf BTSs, encapsulates the data into HDLC frames, converges the data on the HDLC channel, and finally forwards the data. This can improve the utilization rate of Abis resources between the Hub BTS and the BSC.

New Function Description

Index Items Function Introduction
The dynamic Transmit Diversity technology refers to the transmit diversity technology at timeslot level. When a subscriber occupies a dedicated timeslot, the quality of the subscribers traffic is

under the monitoring of a measurement report. When the system finds that the conversation
quality of the subscriber is lower than the threshold, it enables the dynamic Transmit Diversity Dynamic 10 Transmit Diversity (PBT) function, and allocates a timeslot with the same number from an adjacent carrier to the subscriber. The signals carried on the two timeslots are the same, and the phases are also the same. The signals are sent out through different transmit ports, and are then enhanced through signal combination. Consequently, the reception quality is improved. When the adjacent channel is occupied by other subscribers, the system enables the intra-cell handover, and hands over the subscriber to an idle channel so that the adjacent channel can be used for the PBT. Because the reception quality of the subscriber is good during handover, the handover does not cause call drop. BCCH Aggressive 11 Frequency Reuse The function allows the operator to densely multiplex frequencies on BCCH carriers. In networks with limited frequency resources, this function can reduce the frequencies occupied by BCCH carriers, and provide more frequencies for the traffic channels. This function can increase system capacity and reduce investment in sites, without changing the original hardware.
