• Good online operability
• OSI protocol model for O & M functions. user-friendly
MML interface according to ITU-T recommendations
Features of the BSC platform…
• Flexible configuration:
– Expandability in 64 TRX steps from 64 TRXs to up to 512 TRXs
in High Capacity BSC configurations( bsc 2i)
– The modular architecture allows you to build economically
dimensioned switching systems according to your needs,
and it also reduces the cost of surplus capacity and enables
new facilities to be readily added.
• No special room requirements:
– BSCs are small and compact and low on power consumption
– The cooling of the BSC is implemented by means of natural
convection

Packet Control Unit (PCU)
There are two generations of Nokia PCUs. The first generation PCUs are PCU-Ts
and the second generation PCUs are PCU2-Us in BSC2i. The preferred option in
S12 is the second generation PCU2s.

The PCU unit performs all the data processing tasks that are related to the (E)
GPRS traffic. It implements both packet switched traffic-oriented Gb and Abis
interfaces in the BSC. A PCU includes a microprocessor and digital signal
processors integrated to the same plug-in-unit to handle the tasks. The main
functions are GPRS traffic radio resource management, for example
connection
establishment and management, resource allocation, scheduling, data
transfer,
MS uplink power control, Gb load sharing (uplink) and flow control (downlink).
PCUs must be configured to every BCSU installed, but only the activated ones
are to be used. A similar principle applies to the optional second PCU unit. This
requirement comes from the general N+1 redundancy principle of the fault
tolerant DX 200 Computing Platform.

RADIO NETWORK PERFORMANCE

Radio Network Performance related features offer operators

advanced functionalities e.g. for the network automation, higher
spectral efficiency, network resilience

Features in BSS12:
• Single Antenna Interference Cancellation (SAIC)
• Space Time Interference rejection combining
(STIRC)
• Multipoint A-Interface
Single Antenna Interference Cancellation (SAIC)
(DL Advanced Receiver Performance; DARP)

New Interference cancellation algorithm for

single antenna mobiles

Benefits:
Improves overall network spectral
efficiency
Improves call quality of SAIC enabled
terminals
SAIC - Concept Mobile support
is needed

• Single Antenna Interference Cancellation (SAIC) algorithms enable interference

cancellation at the mobile receiver without the need for a second antenna and thus
can improve the spectrum efficiency of GSM networks.

• There are different approaches but most of them can be included in two groups:
Blind Interference Cancellation (BIC) and Joint Detection (JD) methods.
– BIC methods only demodulate the desired signal.
– JD methods demodulate both desired and interfering signals.
trade-off between performance and complexity.

• Currently SAIC is standardised only for GMSK modulation (rel6).

SAIC Benefits

• Improves overall network spectral efficiency

– When SAIC penetration increases, the spectral efficiency can be improved by
increasing reuse (with DL Power Control) in downlink limited network
• Increases call quality of SAIC enabled terminals
– Especially valid result when DL Power Control not in use
– With SAIC the terminals perform in quality conditions that would not be good
enough for legacy terminals
• DL Power Control not any more usable
• Quality based handovers not possible
• Increases also to some extent call quality of legacy terminals. This happens due to
the overall decreased DL interference levels.
SAIC Summary
• Improves overall network spectral efficiency
• Increases the call quality of SAIC enabled terminals, and
decreases interference to legacy terminals
• In high terminal penetration rates SAIC enables both call quality
to SAIC enabled terminals as well as considerable gain in overall
system capacity
• In S12 release the statistics support in networks enable
operators to follow up behaviour of SAIC mobiles

I6 I1 When transmitting to a SAIC mobile in

this cell, lower BTS transmit power can
be used, thereby reducing the
I5 I2 interference received by other terminals
(both legacy and SAIC capable)

I4 I3
Space Time Interference Rejection Combining (STIRC)

Enhancement for the basic IRC, which is implemented in

Nokia EDGE Ultra Site & Metro Site products

Benefits:
Improves overall network spectral
efficiency and quality
STIRC - Overview
• STIRC is a UL Receiver technology (set of Digital Signal Processing Algorithms)
enhancement to current IRC Receiver Technology
• STIRC improves interference (Co-channel & Adjacent channel) rejection capability of
the EDGE Ultra Site & Metro Site IRC receivers significantly

• (ST)IRC Technology is implement purely by BTS Base band DSP SW

– STIRC is supported by EDGE TRX
– STIRC is not supported by a Non EDGE TRX
• STIRC supports all forms of RF Hopping (Baseband, Antenna)

• STIRC supports all antenna configurations, but has its best performance in diversity
configurations

• STIRC is licensed capacity enhancement Feature

– The License is Administered by BSC on a per BTS_Object Basis
– If EDGE TRX is not licensed to use STIRC, then it will use the current IRC Technology
STIRC - Benefits
• Capacity Enhancement
– Better Uplink quality (Improved RxQual distributions, in AMR LA higher
usage of higher codec rates for example) particularly in high user
density\interference limited scenarios
– Better average user data throughput
– Better spectral efficiency
– Improves both traffic and control channel performance
– Less mobile TX power needed for quality based uplink power control
• Reduces the overall interference level in uplink
• Mobile Battery life is improved in interference limited conditions
Multipoint A-interface

BSC can be connected to several MSC servers

Benefits:
Increase the network performance and
scalability, provide fault protection
Multipoint A-Interface - Benefits

With M-point A-Interface BSC can be connected to several MSC servers in order to:
1) Increase the network performance and scalability

– Distribute the network load amongst the serving entities, enables the BSC’s to route
information to different MSC’s.

– Reduce the required signaling

• As the MS roams Signaling traffic towards HLR and between VLRs is not needed in intra pool-
area location updates
• Inter-MSS relocations are reduced
– The neighboring pool areas can overlap, which allows to separate the traffic into
different 2G MS moving patterns. e.g. pool-areas where each covers a separate
residential area and all the same city centre.

2) provide fault protection

– Failure in one MSS/VLR does not stop the service in pool-area

– Flexibility to software upgrades/maintenance (MSS/VLR)

Multipoint A-Interface - Routing Mechanism

• Selection of MSC
– When MS attempts location update or attachments to the network, MSC will be selected
by BSC serving the area where MS is currently located. Normally MSC selection is based
on NRI (NW resource Identifier).
– BSC shall be able to perform MSC selection also when e.g: (a) received NRI is unknown
for BSC, (b) there is no NRI or (c) MSC identified by NRI is unreachable. In these cases
load balancing between MSSs in the the pool will be taken into account by BSC.
– After NRI assigned, future transactions between MS and MSC are done towards the same

NRI: Network Resource Identifier

Multipoint A-Interface - Routing Mechanism
• MSC will be identified with NRI
– Length of the NRI can be from 0 to 10 bits
– NRI is part of the TMSI and it is located to bits 14 to 23 of TMSI.
• NAS (Non Access Stratum) Node Selection function - Assigns
specific network resources (of MSC)
– BSC masks NRI out of the TMSI, which is indicated in each initial NAS
signaling message
– BSC routes the NAS message to the relevant MSC
– If no MSC address is configured for the requested NRI or if no NRI can be
derived (e.g. the MS indicated an identity which contains no NRI) then
the BSC selects an available MSC according to CGR (Circuit Group) load of
each MSC’s SPC (Signaling Point Code)
Multipoint A-Interface - Failure Cases
• If MSC breaks down, the NRI value(s) belonging to this MSC are mapped to
the other available MSCs if load balancing parameter is set in use
– the Load Balancing algorithm will be informed about the fault situation
and new mobiles will not be allocated to that MSC any more
– in failure situation existing 2241 SCCP SUBSYSTEM PROHIBITED alarm

GPRS/EDGE

Features in this category are related to the

enhanced GSM technologies such as GPRS and
EDGE evolution.

Features Under Development in BSS12:

• Dual Transfer Mode (DTM)
• Extended Dynamic Allocation (EDA)
• High Multislot Classes (HMC)
Dual Transfer Mode - DTM

Simultaneous voice and data connection

Benefits:

applications and enhanced service continuity
with WCDMA
Dual Transfer Mode - Concept

• Dual transfer mode is providing simultaneous circuit switched (CS) voice and Packet Switched (PS) data
service in a coordinated manner
• In dual transfer mode, the mobile station is simultaneously in dedicated mode and in packet transfer mode
so that the timeslots allocated in each direction are contiguous and within the same frequency
• The CS part consists of a single slot connection, while the PS part can consist of a multislot connection

DTM - State Transitions

• Mobile is in DTM mode when it has simultaneous CS speech and PS data

connections
• Entering to DTM mode goes through the dedicated mode
– PS radio connection has to be released when entering and leaving Dual
Transfer Mode
– Nokia solution minimizes the outage on downlink data transmission
– 3GPP release 6 allows transitions between PS and DTM (BSS13 candidate)

 Handover enhancement: BSS20117-202
• CR90 improves internal handovers

• CR90 is not direct TCSM3i feature. TCSM3i offers new pools

where CR90 is needful.

• There is two kinds of handover types: Internal (handled by BSC)

and external (handled by MSC)

• Problem: Noticeable muting in DL direction happens when speech codec is

changed during internal handover but circuit pool remains still the same. (For
e.g AMR <-> non AMR). At the present circuit pool is changed in most
handover cases and so handovers have automatically been externals.
• CR90 introduces possibility to operator to “force” internal handover to external
and thereby avoid DL muting. It also introduces load control on A interface to
avoid overload situations.
TCSM3i – Effect on interfaces
• Ater interface
– New TCSM type
– New circuit types
– No support for 8 kbit/s submultiplexing
• A interface
– Multirate configuration IE (handover enhancement:BSS20117-202)
• Q3
– New PIU type for event handling
– New/ Modified alarms
– New parameter for TCSM type (TCSM2/TCSM3i)
– New parameter for handover type
• MML
– New TCSM type in configuration printout
TCSM3i Reference: Handover enhancement Parameters

• Internal handover to external (IHTA)

– Parameter defines whether it is allowed to change internal handover, where
speech codec or channel rate is changed, to MSC controlled in order to avoid
DL muting.
• TCH transaction count (TTRC)
– Parameter defines how many incoming TCH transactions (incoming MSC
controlled TCH handover or assignment) are taken into account when
calculating average TCH transaction rate.
• Maximum TCH transaction rate (MTTR)
– Parameter defines maximum incoming (from MSC to BSC) TCH transaction rate
(transactions per second) that is acceptable for changing internal handover to
external. In this context TCH transaction means MSC controlled TCH handover
or TCH assignment.
