1.1 Scope
This document describes GBFD-119201 11-Bit EGPRS Access, including its technical
principles, related features, network impact, and engineering guidelines.
01 (2013-05-06)
This issue does not include any changes.
Draft A (2013-02-27)
Compared with Issue 01 (2012-04-28) of GBSS14.0, Draft A (2013-02-27) of GBSS15.0
includes the following changes.
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
The Packet Channel Request message is an 8-bit or 11-bit access burst. The 11-Bit EGPRS
Access feature enables the BSC to allocate channel resources to an MS upon receiving the
access request so that the MS can have immediate access to services with only a short delay.
In addition, this feature optimizes the procedure for 11-bit one-phase packet access on the
uplink common control channel (CCCH) so that the BSC can obtain the capability of an MS
to support the Extended Uplink TBF feature. If the MS supports the Extended Uplink TBF
feature, the uplink data transfer uses established temporary block flows (TBFs). This
eliminates the need to establish new TBFs and shortens the GPRS mobility management
(GMM) access delay.

3 Technical Description
NOTE
The PCCCH is used only if the packet broadcast control channel (PBCCH) is configured for a cell. If no
PBCCH is configured, the CCCH is used.
NOTE
The PCCCH is used only if the packet broadcast control channel (PBCCH) is configured for a cell. If no
PBCCH is configured, the CCCH is used.
EGPRS supports one-phase access and two-phase access. One-phase access and the first
phase of two-phase access can be 8-bit or 11-bit access. The procedure for 11-bit one-phase
access on the CCCH is the same as that for 8-bit one-phase access on the CCCH. The access
speeds are similar, but the MS multislot capability can be carried in the procedure for 11-bit
one-phase access on the CCCH. Generally, an EGPRS-capable MS has the multislot
capability. If an EGPRS-capable MS uses one-phase access, it informs the network of its
multislot capability during 11-bit one-phase access. If an EGPRS-capable MS uses two-phase
access, it sends a Packet Resource Request message to inform the network of its multislot
capability. This prolongs access delay. Therefore, the
EGPRS11BITCHANREQ(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter should be set to YES(YES) to
ensure that the EGPRS-capable MS uses one-phase access. This shortens the access duration
by 300 ms, compared with two-phase access.

6.3.3 Activation
The BSC6900 supports both built-in PCUs and external PCUs. The BSC6910 supports only built-in
PCUs.
Step 2 (Optional) Enable the reporting of the radio access (RA) capability during one-phase access.
If a built-in PCU is used, perform the following steps on the BSC LMT:
1. Run the SET GCELLPSBASE command with Access Technologies Request Switch
set to ON(On).
2. Run the SET GCELLPRIVATEOPTPARA command with Inactive Period of
Extended Uplink TBF set to a value greater than 0.
----End
When configuring the 11-Bit EGPRS Access feature on the CME, you must perform a single
configuration first, and then perform batch modifications if required.
You must perform a single configuration for a parameter before batch modifications of the parameter.
You are advised to perform batch modifications before logging out of the parameter setting interface.
To modify objects, such as BSCs, BTSs, cells, and TRXs, in batches, click the icon on the
CME configuration interface to start the batch modification wizard. For the method of
performing batch modifications through the CME batch modification center, press F1 on the
wizard interface to obtain online help.
----End
NOTE
Configure the following managed objects (MOs) when a built-in PCU is used.

6.3.5 Deactivation
Using MML Commands
On the BSC LMT, perform the following steps:
Run the SET GCELLPSBASE command with Support 11BIT EGPRS Access set to
NO(NO).
Step 2 (Optional) Disable the reporting of the RA capability during one-phase access
Run the SET GCELLPSBASE command with Access Technologies Request Switch set to
OFF(Off).
