1.1.1 MRFD-211401 NACC Procedure Optimization
Availability
This feature is available from SRAN3.0.
Summary
With this feature, the network assisted cell change (NACC) procedure is performed through
the internal information exchange mechanism of the multi-mode base station controller. As a
result, the interoperability of PS services between GSM cells and UMTS cells under the same
multi-mode base station controller does not involve the CN. In this manner, the time taken to
perform the NACC procedure is shortened by about 680 ms. In addition, the NACC procedure
does not require the support of the CN.
Benefits
This feature shortens the time for the NACC procedure. In addition, this feature provides a
solution that enables the NACC procedure when the CN does not support the RAN
information management (RIM) procedure.
Description
According to the 3GPP specifications, the GERAN (P) SI is obtained through the RIM
procedure during the NACC procedure. The NACC procedure involves the RNC, SGSN
(UMTS), SGSN (GSM), and BSC. With this feature, the GSM GERAN (P) SI of the same
multi-mode base station controller does not need to be sent through the CN. Instead, the
Issue 02 (2014-06-12)

SRAN9.0
GERAN (P) SI is sent through the internal information exchange mechanism of the
multi-mode base station controller.
To perform the exchange of the GERAN (P) SI between GSM and UMTS cells under
different multi-mode base station controllers, the information exchange based on the Iur-g
interface or the standardized NACC procedure is used.
As 3GPP does not define the NACC procedure from GSM to UMTS, the optimized NACC
procedure from GSM to UMTS is not supported.

1.1.2 MRFD-211402 MBSC Load Balancing

Availability
Summary
This feature is based on the internal information exchange mechanism of the multi-mode base
station controller. With this feature, the traffic is distributed through the RRC redirection and
load-based handovers between GSM and UMTS on the basis of the handover attributes and
the load of the GSM and UMTS networks when an MS or UE accesses the network. In this
manner, the load is balanced between the GSM and UMTS networks.
Issue 02 (2014-06-12)

SRAN9.0
Benefits
Based on the internal information exchange mechanism of the multi-mode base station
controller, this feature balances the load between the GSM and UMTS networks. As a result,
the load of the GSM and UMTS networks in the same coverage area increases evenly, the risk
of network congestion due to the load imbalance between networks is reduced, and thereby
the network usage is increased.
Description
With this feature, the networks in the same coverage area have nearly the same load.
Therefore, the access rejection rate is significantly reduced, and each network has remaining
resources to provide a higher rate for PS services. If the GSM and UMTS cells under the same
multi-mode base station controller cover the same geographical area, GSM and UMTS load
balance during RRC connection setup and after RAB setup are available for load balance
based on the internal information exchange mechanism.
The GSM and UMTS load balance in access state consists of two parts: redirection of a
proportion of CS services to GSM cells during RRC connection setup, and the load-based
handovers between GSM and UMTS after RAB setup.
1.
GSM and UMTS load balance during RRC connection setup by redirection
Redirection of a proportion of CS services to GSM cells during RRC connection setup:
When a UE initiates an RRC connection request in a UMTS cell to request CS services,
the services are redirected to a GSM cell according to the configured traffic distribution
proportion if the load of the GSM cell in the same coverage area is lower. In this manner,
the CS services of the UEs in the UMTS cell are proportionally redirected to the GSM
cell. Therefore, a larger capacity is reserved in the UMTS system for the UEs that
perform high-rate PS services.
2.
Load-based handovers between GSM and UMTS after RAB setup
The handover is performed on the basis of the handover attributes, PS services rate, and
difference between the load of the GSM system and that of the UMTS system after RAB
setup.
When an MS requests CS services in a GSM cell, a suitable network is selected to carry the
CS services on the basis of the load of the existing networks. The system hands over the MS
to the neighboring 3G cell based on the predefined probability to improve user experience and
balance the load between the GSM and UMTS networks if the following requirements are
met:
The MS supports the UMTS network.
The cell supports load-based inter-RAT handovers.
The services of the MS can be carried on the UMTS network based on the CN indication
or the configuration on the access network.
The load in the 3G neighboring cell is lower. The difference between the load in the
source cell and the load in the target UMTS cell exceeds the configured threshold.
When a UE requests CS services in a 3G cell, a suitable network is selected to carry the CS

services on the basis of the load of the existing networks. The system hands over the UE to
the neighboring 2G cell to balance the load between the GSM and UMTS networks if the
following requirements are met:

1.1.3 MRFD-211403 MBSC Service Distribution

Availability
Summary
With this feature, the traffic is distributed through the RRC redirection and load-based
handovers between GSM and UMTS on the basis of the service handover indicator, the
network hierarchy policy, and the load of the GSM and UMTS networks when an MS/UE
accesses the network. In this manner, the MSs/UEs that request the CS services access the
GSM network whereas the MSs/UEs that request PS services access the UMTS network.
Benefits
Based on the internal information exchange mechanism of the MBSC, this feature makes the
network hierarchy clear and the network services specific. Therefore, it improves the user
experience by performing service distribution in the GSM/UMTS co-coverage areas.
Issue 02 (2014-06-12)

SRAN9.0
Description
This feature provides the traffic distribution function through the network planning. Therefore,
the resource usage of each network is increased and the service hierarchy among frequencies
and systems is implemented.
When the GSM and UMTS cells cover the same geographical area, CS services are
distributed to GSM cells and PS services are distributed to UMTS cells based on the resource
utilization situation and QoS requirements of the subscribers. This service hierarchy policy is
effective for the multi-access network.
The MS/UE can select the network to access based on the service hierarchy and the load of
the networks.
In this manner, the network performance is optimized in the following aspects:
The tasks of different networks are made clear, which is convenient for the network
capacity dimensioning.
The service hierarchy reduces the interference between services of different types and
increases the capacity of the UMTS network.
The resource usage is increased, the access rejection rate is decreased, and the QoS
management capability of the network is improved because the services can be flexibly
distributed between the GSM and UMTS networks.
This way of handover from UMTS to GSM is classified into two types: redirection of all CS
services to GSM cells during RRC connection setup, and load-based handovers between GSM
and UMTS after RAB setup.
Redirection of a proportion of CS services to GSM cells during RRC connection setup: When
a dual-mode UE complying with 3GPP Release 6 or later initiates an RRC connection request
in a UMTS cell to process CS voice services, the services are redirected to a GSM cell if the
load in the GSM cell in the same coverage area is light. In this manner, the CS services of the
dual-mode UE in the UMTS cell are redirected to the GSM cell. Therefore, a larger capacity
is reserved in the UMTS system for the UEs that process PS services.
The load-based handover between GSM and UMTS after RAB setup is an enhancement of the
existing handover feature provided by Huawei. With this feature, the handover is performed
on the basis of the handover attributes, PS services rate, and difference between the load of
the GSM system and that of the UMTS system after RAB setup.
When an MS processes PS services in a GSM cell, the services are handed over (PS handover
or NC2) to a neighboring 3G cell if the following requirements are met:
The MS supports the UMTS network.
"service UTRAN CCO(Cell Change Order)" IE from SGSN is not set to "Network
initiated cell change order to UTRAN or PS handover to UTRAN procedure shall not be
performed."
The load in the neighboring 3G cell is light.
When a UE processes CS services in a UMTS cell, the services are handed over to A
neighboring 2G cell if the following requirements are met:
The UE supports the GSM network.
The load in the neighboring 2G cell is light.

1.1.4 MRFD-211404 MBSC Handover based on Load Enhancement

Availability
Summary
This feature is based on the internal information exchange mechanism of the multi-mode base
station controller. With this feature, the non-coverage-based handover between GSM and
UMTS is enhanced by the higher decision accuracy for the handover. In this manner,
ping-pong handovers between GSM and UMTS caused by incorrect decisions are decreased.
Benefits
Based on the internal information exchange mechanism of the multi-mode base station
controller, this feature increases the decision accuracy for non-coverage-based handovers. As
a result, the load of the GSM and UMTS networks in the same coverage area remains even,
and ping-pong handovers caused by incorrect decisions are decreased.
Issue 02 (2014-06-12)

SRAN9.0
Description
For the load management of the GSM and UMTS cells, Huawei radio access network solution
currently provides independent load-based inter-RAT handover algorithms. For the GSM
network, the GSM/WCDMA Load Based Handover feature is used. For the UMTS network,
the Inter-RAT Handover Based on Load feature is used. This feature is an enhancement of
these two features based on the internal information exchange mechanism of the multi-mode
base station controller. With this feature, a more proper target cell can be selected for an
inter-RAT handover. In addition, the probability of ping-pong handovers due to a high load of
the inter-RAT neighboring cell can be minimized if the following requirements are met:
The inter-RAT neighboring cell with the lowest load is selected.
The difference between the load in the source cell and the load in the target cell exceeds
the configured threshold.
The handover does not lead to congestion in the target cell.
This feature also enhances inter-RAT handover based on HCS by considering the target cell
load. When there are more than one neighbor cell that has the same hierarchical priority, the
multi-mode base station controller chooses a target cell that has the lightest cell load for
HCS-based handover. If all target cells have heavy load, the HCS-based handover will not be
triggered.

1.2.1 MRFD-211502 IP-Based BSC and RNC Co-Transmission on
MBSC Side
Availability
Summary
When the multi-mode base station controller is used, the physical ports and transport network
can be shared between the Abis interface and the Iub interface of the multi-mode base station
controller.
When the GSM and UMTS share the CN, the physical ports and transport network can be
shared between the A interface and the Iu-CS interface or between the Gb interface and the
Iu-PS interface of the multi-mode base station controller.
Benefits
Reduces the operator's investments on the transport network. During the deployment
phase of the UMTS network when the traffic load of the network is low, the transport
network carries mainly GSM services. After the UMTS services are fully developed, the
transport network carries mainly the UMTS services.
Reduces the O&M costs of the transport network. When developing GSM and UMTS
services, the operator needs to maintain only one transport network. Therefore, the
CAPEX/OPEX is reduced.
Reduces the investments on the main equipment of the access network. The number of
interface boards is reduced because the logical ports of the GSM network and those of
the UMTS network share the same transmission board and physical port. In addition, the
capability of the interface boards of the main equipment is fully utilized.
Description
Huawei radio equipment supports three types of GSM and UMTS co-transmission on the
multi-mode base station controller side:
The Abis interface and Iub interface share IP transmission.
The A interface and Iu-CS interface share IP transmission.
The Gb interface and Iu-PS interface share IP transmission.
The IP transmission can be implemented on the basis of the FE/GE and E1/T1 over
STM-1/OC-3 mode. The following figure shows the networking scenario.
Issue 02 (2014-06-12)

SRAN9.0
IP-based co-transmission between the Abis interface and the Iub interface
The Abis interface and the Iub interface can share the IP/SDH transport network and the
physical transmission ports on the interface board of the multi-mode base station controller.
The co-transmission of the Abis interface and the Iub interface can be implemented on the
basis of the FE/GE or E1/T1 over STM-1/OC-3 mode. The interface board of the multi-mode
base station controller identifies GSM data and UMTS data and then sends the data to the
corresponding GSM/UMTS service processing board and signaling processing board.
When the co-transmission of the Abis interface and the Iub interface is implemented on the
basis of the E1/T1 over STM-1/OC-3 mode, the data link layer uses the PPP/MLPPP protocol.
Separate BTSs and NodeBs are distinguished on the multi-mode base station controller by
separate PPP links or MLPPP groups. For the multi-mode base station, GSM and UMTS data
can share a PPP link or MLPPP group. The GSM service flow is distinguished from the
UMTS service flow by UDP ports. When congestion occurs on the shared PPP link or MLPPP
group, a congestion handling process is initiated for GSM and UMTS services. For details
about the congestion handling schemes, see the description of the MRFD-211503 GSM and
UMTS Co-Transmission Resources Management on MBSC feature.
When the co-transmission of the Abis interface and the Iub interface is implemented on the
basis of the FE/GE mode, the data link layer uses the Ethernet protocol. The multi-mode base
station controller controls the flow of each base station by using the logical port shaping
function. With the logical port shaping function, several logical ports are defined for one
physical port, and one logical port corresponds to one base station. The bandwidth of the
logical port is configurable to provide appropriate bandwidth for each base station. This
prevents the situation that multiple base stations share the bandwidth of one logical port,
thereby avoiding the congestion of one base station from affecting other base stations. The
service flow of the BTS and that of the NodeB correspond to different logical ports. In the
case of the multi-mode base station, the service flow of the GSM network and that of the
UMTS network share one logical port. When congestion occurs on the logical ports, a
congestion handling process is initiated for the GSM and UMTS services. For details about
the congestion handling schemes, see the description of the MRFD-211503 GSM and UMTS
Co-Transmission Resources Management on MBSC feature.
When the co-transmission of the Abis interface and Iub interface is implemented, the
transmission efficiency can be improved if the GBFD-118604 Abis MUX and WRFD-050420
FP MUX for IP Transmission features are enabled.
IP-based co-transmission between the A interface and the Iu-CS interface
The A interface and the Iu-CS interface can share the IP transport network and the physical
transmission ports on the interface board of the multi-mode base station controller. The
co-transmission of the A interface and the Iu-CS interface can be implemented on the basis of
the FE/GE or E1/T1 over STM-1/OC-3 mode. The interface board of the multi-mode base
station controller identifies GSM data and UMTS data and then sends the data to the
Issue 02 (2014-06-12)

SRAN9.0
corresponding GSM/UMTS service processing board and signaling processing board. When
the A interface and Iu-CS interface share the same transport network, the transmission
efficiency can be improved if the GBFD-118610 UDP MUX for A Transmission and
WRFD-050412 UDP MUX for Iu-CS Transmission features are enabled.
IP-based co-transmission between the Gb interface and the Iu-PS interface
The Gb interface and the Iu-PS interface can share the IP transport network and the physical
transmission ports on the interface board of the multi-mode base station controller. The
co-transmission of the Gb interface and the Iu-PS interface can be implemented on the basis
of the FE/GE mode. The interface board of the multi-mode base station controller identifies
GSM data and UMTS data and then sends the data to the corresponding GSM/UMTS service
processing board and signaling processing board.
This feature implements the IP-based co-transmission between the multi-mode base station
controller and the router. Together with the MRFD-211501 IP-Based GSM and UMTS
Co-Transmission on Base Station Side feature, this feature can implement the end-to-end
co-transmission.

1.2.2 MRFD-211503 Co-Transmission Resources Management on

MBSC
Availability
Summary
When the IP transmission bandwidth is shared by the GSM and UMTS services of the
multi-mode base station controller, the IP transmission resources are managed uniformly on
the multi-mode base station controller.
Benefits
The bandwidth resources are shared by the GSM and UMTS services between the multi-mode
base station controller and the multi-mode base station in resource pool manner. The uniform
management of the bandwidth resources provides the following benefits:
In the case of a burst of GSM and UMTS services on the multi-mode base station, the
required transmission bandwidth increases abruptly. In such a case, the multi-mode base
station controller performs the control and thereby effectively reduces the possibility of
congestion.
For the bandwidth allocated to the GSM and UMTS services on the same multi-mode base
station, the multi-mode base station controller uses appropriate allocation policies to increase
the usage of the transmission bandwidth.

SRAN9.0
Description
When co-transmission of the GSM and UMTS services is enabled on the multi-mode base
station controller, the GSM and UMTS services of the multi-mode base station share one
logical port if IP over FE/GE is adopted; the GSM and UMTS services of the multi-mode base
station share the PPP link/MLPPP group if IP over E1/T1 is adopted. When congestion occurs
on the shared logical port or PPP link/MLPPP group, a congestion handling process is
initiated for the GSM and UMTS services.
Three thresholds (or stages) are defined in the multi-mode base station controller to indicate
the system congestion severity, that is, normal access, general congestion, and severe
congestion. In each stage, a specific admission policy is implemented to eliminate the
negative effects caused by transmission congestion.
1.
Uniform congestion threshold
When the usage of the transmission resources reaches such an extent that the maximum
admission rate of the uplink and downlink transmission bandwidth cannot be provided, a
uniform congestion threshold is configured for the transmission channel. When the
transmission bandwidth exceeds this threshold, the transmission bandwidth of the new GSM
and UMTS users and accessed users is decreased to use the bandwidth efficiently, admit more
users, and reduce the possibility of admission failures.
When the bandwidth exceeds the threshold, the following load reshuffling (LDR) measures
are taken for GSM users:
The bandwidth of the slave link of the PS channel is released.
The HR channel is preferentially allocated to CS users.
Rate limitation is applied for the AMR speech services of CS users.
The switchover from the FR channel to HR channel is performed for CS users.
When the bandwidth exceeds the threshold, the following load reshuffling (LDR) measures
are taken for UMTS users:
The data rate of the background or interactive services is decreased.
The QoS is renegotiated.
The inter-RAT handover is performed.
2. Uniform handover reserved threshold

When the usage of the transmission resources is so high that the call quality of the accessed
users is affected, a uniform handover reserved threshold is configured for the transmission
channel. When the transmission bandwidth exceeds the threshold, the threshold-based
admission of new GSM and UMTS users is prohibited. This avoids the situation that the
handover cannot be performed and the call quality of the accessed users is affected because
the transmission resources are exhausted.
When the transmission bandwidth exceeds the threshold and there is bandwidth available for
the transmission, the GSM and UMTS handover users can still perform the threshold-based
admission.
After the threshold-based admission control fails, a high-priority GSM user can access the
network by preempting the bandwidth allocated to a low-priority GSM user. If the preemption
fails, the GSM user can access the network by queuing. A high-priority UMTS user can access
the network by preempting the bandwidth allocated to a low-priority UMTS user. If the
preemption fails, the UMTS user can access the network by queuing.
3. Uniform overload control threshold
Issue 02 (2014-06-12)

12
SRAN9.0
The transmission congestion may be caused by the decrease in the available bandwidth
resulting from the deterioration in the congestion condition of the transport network or the
increase in the traffic volume of the actual transmission. To avoid such transmission
congestion, a uniform overload threshold is configured for the transmission channel. When
the transmission bandwidth exceeds the threshold, admission of the new GSM and UMTS
users is prohibited and the services of low-priority users are released. This ensures that the
calls of the accessed users with a high priority can be maintained even when severe
congestion occurs and eliminates the impact of the overload.
