Feature Optimization:

Enhanced BCCH Power

Consumption Optimization
 What is Enhanced BCCH Power Consumption Optimization

Description
In the GSM system, to prepare for possible cell selections, cell reselections, and MS handovers, all
timeslots on the BCCH TRX always transmit signals at the configured power, regardless of whether the
timeslots are idle or not, to ensure that MSs can accurately measure the downlink receive level in a cell.
Therefore, the radio frequency (RF) module housing the BCCH TRX is one of the BTS components that
consume the most power.
To decrease the power consumption of the BCCH TRX, Huawei introduces the Enhanced BCCH Power
Consumption Optimization feature. With this feature, the transmit power of non-BCCH timeslots on the BCCH
TRX can be decreased during off-peak hours. This helps decrease the BTS power consumption.
Benefits
This feature provides the following benefits:
Reduces the BTS power consumption.
Reduces the network interference and allows tight frequency reuse patterns by reducing the transmit
power of non-BCCH timeslots on the BCCH TRX.

Reducing the Transmit Power of Idle Timeslots Among Timeslots 1 to 7

When some timeslots among timeslots 1 to 7 on the BCCH TRX are idle, this feature decreases their
transmit power

Performing Downlink Power Control on Occupied Timeslots Among

Timeslots 1 to 7
When some timeslots among timeslots 1 to 7 on the BCCH TRX are occupied, this feature
performs downlink power control on them.

Objective
Enhanced BCCH Power Consumption Optimization, To decrease the power
consumption of the BCCH TRX, Huawei introduces the Enhanced BCCH Power
Consumption Optimization feature. With this feature, the transmit power of non-BCCH
timeslots on the BCCH TRX can be decreased during off-peak hours. This helps decrease
the BTS power consumption.
