    23.1 Overview

    This topic describes the TRX cooperation. When the TRXs in a cell incur a fault, The TRX

    cooperation can ensure that the cell is functional.

    Definition

    When some TRXs in a cell are faulty, the cell may not be functional. The TRX cooperation can

    ensure that the cell is functional.

    The TRX cooperation is categorized into the following two ways:

    l BCCH TRX cooperation

    When a TRX carrying the BCCH is faulty, the BSC selects a normal TRX as a new BCCH

    TRX according to the TRX cooperation algorithm. Thus, the cell can work normally. When

    the fault of a TRX is rectified, the BSC hands over the BCCH to this TRX.

    l Baseband FH TRX cooperation

    When a TRX of the cell in Baseband FH mode is faulty, the BSC changes the mode to be

    None FH temporarily to prevent the decrease in speech quality.

    Purposes

    When a TRX carrying the BCCH is faulty, all the services within this cell are interrupted. To

    ensure the normal running of the cell services, the BSC initiates another TRX in the cell to

    replace the faulty TRX. When the fault of a TRX is rectified, the BSC switches the BCCH on

    this TRX.

    When the TRX where the BCCH of a cell in baseband FH mode is faulty, some speech frames

    are lost in the conversations where the FH channels are used. Thus, the quality of the call is

    greatly influenced. To ensure the speech quality of the cell, the BSC initiates the baseband FH

    TRX cooperation and changes the mode to be none FH. Thus, faults of a few TRXs do not

    influence the speech quality of the cell. After the faults are rectified, the BSC recovers the FH

    mode of the cell to be baseband FH.

    The TRX cooperation detection, the cell traffic handover and cell reinitialization should be

    performed by the system automatically after the fault occurs. All these processes take several

    minutes.

    NOTE

    The TRX cooperation is not triggered in a duration after the cell initialization. The duration is controlled

    by Aiding Delay Protect Time(min). The default value is 15 minutes.

    23.3 ImpactThis topic describes the impact of the TRX cooperation on the system performance and other

    features.

    Impact on System Performance

    The impacts of the BCCH TRX cooperation on the system performance are as follows:

    l After the BCCH TRX cooperation, the BSC specifies a TRX as the BCCH TRX and the

    number of available TCHs decreases. Thus, the the cell capacity is reduced. The more the

    number of faulty TRXs are, the lower the capacity of the cell is.

    l

    If the TRX carries the PDCH, the PDCH is unavailable after the BCCH TRX cooperationand the decrease of the PS services capacity. If tthe TRX carries the CBCH, the CHCH is

    unavailable after the BCCH TRX cooperation and the cell broadcast service is stopped.

    l If either of the original TRX carrying the primary BCCH and cooperated TRX does not

    support the EDGE, both of them do not support the EDGE after the BCCH TRX

    cooperation.

    l When the cell is a concentric cell and the cooperated TRX is in an overlaid subcell, the

    coverage of the cell decreases after the TRX cooperation.

    The impacts of the baseband FH BCCH TRX cooperation on the system performance are as

    follows:

    l When the baseband FH TRX cooperation occurs, the BSC changes the FH mode of the cellfrom Baseband FH to be None FH. The cell does not have the features of diversity

    interference and anti-attenuation brought by the baseband FH.

    l If the baseband FH mode of the cell is Baseband FH Joined By The TRX Carrying the

    Primary BCCH and the TRX where the cell BCCH locates is faulty, both the BCCH TRX

    cooperation and the baseband FH TRX cooperation occur. The BSC changes the FH mode

    of the cell to be None FH. After all the TRX in the FH and the original TRX carrying the

    primary BCCH are confirmed to be normal, the baseband FH cooperation changeback

    occurs. That is, the BSC recoveries the FH mode of the cell to be Baseband FH.

    Impact on Other Features

    The impacts of the TRX cooperation on the system performance are as follows:

    l The TRX cooperation does not occur in the validation process of reconfigured data, the

    duration of resources check and the duration of the BTS initialization.

    l If the SDCCH dynamic adjustment, or full-rate/half-rate dynamic adjustment or PDCH

    dynamic adjustment occurs in the cell, the type of the adjusted channels carried by the

    related TRX is recovered to be the original type after the TRX cooperation or TRXcooperation changeback.

    23.4 Technical Description

    The technical description of the TRX cooperation consists of the description of the BCCH TRX

    cooperation, baseband FH TRX cooperation and TRX cooperation algorithm.

    23.4.1 BCCH TRX Cooperation

    This topic describes the BCCH TRX cooperation. When a BCCH TRX of a cell is unavailable,

    the BSC initiates another TRX to replace the faulty one to enable the cell to offer services

    continuousl. When the fault of the original BCCH TRX is recitified, the BSC switches back the

    BCCH to the original TRX.

    23.4.2 Baseband FH TRX Cooperation

    This topic describes the baseband FH TRX cooperation. The baseband FH TRX cooperation

    refers to that when the TRX in the FH is faulty and the FH mode of the cell is Baseband FH,

    the BSC initiates the baseband FH TRX cooperation and changes the FH mode of the cell to be

    None FH. After the TRX faults are rectified, the BSC recovers the FH mode of the cell to be

    Baseband FH.

    23.4.3 TRX Cooperation Algorithm

    The BSC uses the TRX cooperation algorithm to select the cooperated TRX in the TRX

    cooperation.

    23.4.1 BCCH TRX Cooperation

    This topic describes the BCCH TRX cooperation. When a BCCH TRX of a cell is unavailable,

    the BSC initiates another TRX to replace the faulty one to enable the cell to offer services

    continuousl. When the fault of the original BCCH TRX is recitified, the BSC switches back the

    BCCH to the original TRX.

    BCCH TRX cooperation consists of the following:

    l BCCH TRX cooperation

    l BCCH TRX cooperation changeback

    Description of the BCCH TRX Cooperation

    The BCCH TRX cooperation is triggered by the required status change report message reported

    by the BTS.

    The requirements of the BCCH TRX cooperation are as follows:

    l The object in the message should be at the channel level and is the active BCCH of the cell.

    If the cooperation occurs, the object should be the current BCCH.

    NOTE

    If the BCCH TRX cooperation occurs, the object should be the active BCCH after the cooperation.

    l The status of the active BCCH is DIABLED.

    l The availability status of the active BCCH should be one of those listed in the .

    Table 23-3 Availability Status and Meaning

    Availability Status Meaning

    POWER_OFF Indicates the equipment is powered off.

    FAILED Indicates the equipment is faulty.

    NOT_INSTALLED_REAL Indicates the equipment is not installed.

    DEPENDENCY Indicates the equipment is unavailable because of

    other faulty equipment.

    The cell number in the BCCH TRX cooperation message is used to identify the cell where the

    BCCH TRX cooperation occurs. The BCCH TRX cooperation of different cells can beperformed at the same time.

    The procedure of the BCCH TRX cooperation is as follows:

    1. After a cell meets the requirement of initializing the BCCH TRX cooperation, start the

    protection timer and set the duration of the timer to one minute.

    NOTE

    The protection timer with the duration of one minute can avoid the TRX cooperation because of

    unstable TRX status.

    2. When the protection timer expires, the BSC detects whether the cell meets the requirement

    of the TRX cooperation.l If the cell meets the requirement of the TRX cooperation, the BSC sends the forced

    switch request to all the calls in the cell and starts the 10-second timer.

    l If the cell does not meet the requirement of the TRX cooperation, the BSC stops the

    process of the TRX cooperation.

    3. After all the call in the cell is handed over or the 10-second timer expires, the BSC specifies

    another TRX as the BCCH TRX in the cell.

    4. The BSC initializes the cell, and then delivers the configuration data to the BTS. The BSC

    delivers the configuration data of the original BCCH TRX to the cooperated TRX and

    delivers the configuration data of the cooperated TRX to the original BCCH TRX. The

    cooperated TRX then provides services to the original BCCH TRX.

    Description of the BCCH TRX Cooperation Switchback

    After the faults of the original BCCH TRX in the cell that the BCCH TRX cooperation occurs

    are rectified, the BCCH TRX cooperation changeback is performed in the cell. The data in the

    two TRXs related to the cooperation is adjusted, and the original configuration data of the cell

    is recovered.

    The procedure of the BCCH TRX cooperation changeback is similar to that of the BCCH TRX

    cooperation. The only difference lies in the triggering condition and the cooperation process

    content. The time of the cooperation changeback can be controlled with parameters. The options

    include Allowed & Recover Immediately, Allowed & Recover When Check Res andAllowed & Recover Forbidden.

    7/20

    The BCCH TRX cooperation is triggered by the required status change report message reported

    by the BTS.

    The BCCH TRX cooperation changeback requires that the status of the original TRX carrying

    the primary BCCH is ENABLED.

    The cell number in the BCCH TRX cooperation changeback message is used to identify the cell

    where the BCCH TRX cooperation changeback occurs. The BCCH cooperation changeback of

    different cells can be performed at the same time.

    The procedure of the BCCH TRX cooperation changeback is as follows:

    1. After a cell meets the requirement of initializing the BCCH TRX cooperation changeback,

    start the protection timers and set the duration of the timer to one minute.

    NOTE

    The protection timer with the duration of one minute can avoid the TRX cooperation changeback

    because of the unstable TRX status.

    2. When the protection timer expires, the BSC detects whether the cell meets the requirement

    of the TRX cooperation changeback.

    l If the cell meets the requirement of the TRX cooperation changeback, the BSC sends

    the forced switch request to all the calls in the cell and starts the 10-second timer.

    l If the cell does not meet the requirement of the TRX cooperation changeback, the BSC

    stops the process of the TRX cooperation changeback.

    3. After all the call in the cell is handed over or the 10-second timer expires, the BSC specifies

    another TRX as the BCCH TRX in the cell.

    4. The BSC initializes the cell, and then delivers the configuration data to the BTS. The BSC

    delivers the configuration data of the cooperated BCCH TRX to the original BCCH TRX

    and delivers the configuration data of the original BCCH TRX to the cooperated TRX.

    23.4.2 Baseband FH TRX Cooperation

    This topic describes the baseband FH TRX cooperation. The baseband FH TRX cooperation

    refers to that when the TRX in the FH is faulty and the FH mode of the cell is Baseband FH,

    the BSC initiates the baseband FH TRX cooperation and changes the FH mode of the cell to be

    None FH. After the TRX faults are rectified, the BSC recovers the FH mode of the cell to be

    Baseband FH.

    The baseband FH TRX cooperation consists of the following:

    l Baseband FH TRX cooperationl Baseband FH TRX cooperation changeback

    Description of the Baseband FH TRX Cooperation

    The baseband FH TRX cooperation occurs only in the cell where the baseband FH occurs. The

    cooperation is triggered by the required status change report sent by the BTS.

    The requirements of the baseband FH TRX cooperation are as follows:

    l The object in the message should be at BT level and should be the TRX in the baseband

    FH.

    l The status of the TRX is DISABLED.

    The cell number in the baseband FH TRX cooperation changeback message is used to identify

    the cell where the baseband FH TRX cooperation changeback occurs. The baseband FH TRX

    cooperation changeback of different cells can be performed at the same time.

    The procedure of the baseband FH TRX cooperation changeback is as follows:

    1. When a cell meets the requirement of initializing the baseband FH TRX cooperation

    changeback, start the protection timers and set the duration of the timer to one minute.

    NOTE

    Theprotection timer with the duration of one minute can avoid the TRX cooperation changeback

    2. When the protection timer expires, the BSC detects whether the cell meets the requirement

    of the TRX cooperation changeback.

    l If the cell meets the requirement of the TRX cooperation changeback, the BSC sends

    the forced switch request to all the calls in the cell and starts the 10-second timer.

    4. The BSC initiates the cell and delivers the new configuration data to the BTS. Then the

    BSC changes the FH mode of the cell from None FH to be Baseband FH.

    23.4.3 TRX Cooperation Algorithm

    The BSC uses the TRX cooperation algorithm to select the cooperated TRX in the TRX

    cooperation.

    The TRX cooperation consists of the following three phases:

    l Default status

    l Preprocessing status

    l Handling Status

    In the TRX cooperation, the BSC uses the following two protection measures to ensure the

    communication quality of the radio network:

    l Preprocessing protection: aviods the frequent TRX cooperation because of TRX

    intermittent.

    l Postprocessing protection: provides enough time for the call in the cell where the TRX

    cooperation will occur.

    Checking the Availability Status of Cells

    This topic describes how to check the availability status of cell to confirm whether the cells meet

    the requirement of TRX cooperation.

    The cell status check is triggered by the one-second task. The 512 cells are checked periodically.

    In the cell status check, the BSC ignores the cell in the abnormal state and finds the cell meeting

    the requirements of the TRX cooperation.

    The cells in abnormal state are as follows:

    l TAIDING_EXPT_CELL_NOT_INSTALL

    l AIDING_EXPT_IN_INITIAL_PROCESS

    l AIDING_EXPT_OML_ABNORMAL

    l AIDING_EXPT_DATA_ADJUST_DISABLE

    l AIDING_EXPT_NOT_AIDING_BUTT

    l AIDING_EXPT_INITIAL_PROTECT

    After the BSC finds the normal cell, the TRX cooperation process is started.

    Checking the TRX Status

    This topic describes the TRX status check. The TRX status check indicates to specify the type

    of the TRX cooperation in the cell according to the TRX status.

    Determination Conditions of the BCCH TRX CooperationTable 23-5 shows the determination conditions of the BCCH TRX cooperation. The BCCH

    TRX cooperation and the BCCH TRX cooperation changeback occur only when all the

    conditions in Table 23-5.

    Determination Conditions of the Baseband FH TRX Cooperation

    Table 23-6 shows the determination conditions of the baseband FH TRX cooperation. The

    baseband FH TRX cooperation and the baseband FH TRX cooperation changeback occur only

    when all the conditions in Table 23-6.

    Table 23-6 Determination conditions of the baseband FH TRX cooperation and changeback

    Determination Conditions of theBaseband FH TRX Cooperation

    Determination Conditions of theBaseband FH TRX CooperationSwitchback

    The TRX cooperation in the cell is allowed. The TRX cooperation changeback in the cell

    is allowed.

    The FH mode of the cell is Baseband FH. The BSC changes the FH mode of the cell

    from Baseband FH to be None FH.

    The baseband FH TRX cooperation does not

    occur in this cell. That is, all the TRXs in the

    baseband FH are normal.

    The status of the original BCCH is

    ENABLED.

    The status of at least one TRX in the

    baseband FH is either POWER_OFF,

    FAILED, NOT_INSTALLED_REA or

    DEPENDENCY.

    The status of all the TRXs in the baseband FH

    is ENABLED.

    NOTE

    When the BCCH TRX cooperation occurs in the cell where the BTS FH occurs, the BSC initiates the

    baseband FH TRX cooperation forcibly and changes the FH mode of the cell from Baseband FH to beNone FH.

    After the TRX status check is complete, the TRX cooperation processing is existed if the BSC

    detects that no TRX cooperation is needed. If the BSC detects that the conditions of the TRX

    cooperation are meet, the preprocessing timer is started. The duration of the timer is one minute.

    When the preprocessing timer expires, the BSC starts the processing of TRX cooperation

    preprocessing.

    The BSC then checks the TRX status again to avoid the frequent TRX cooperation because of

    TRX intermittence. If the BCCH TRX cooperation is necessary after the check, the BSC starts

    the process to search the cooperated TRX.

    Preprocessing the TRX Cooperation

    This topic describes the preprocessing of the TRX cooperation. The process of the TRX

    cooperation preprocessing consists of two phrases: searching for the cooperated TRX and

    Postprocessing the TRX cooperation.

    Searching for the Cooperated TRX

    Before starting the BCCH TRX cooperation, the BSC should select a normal TRX as the

    candidate cooperated TRX in the cell.

    In the selection, configuration of the TRX should be considered.

    The following TRXs cannot be selected as the candidate cooperated TRX:

    of which the frequency spacing is less than 3 after the frequency exchange

    The BSC puts all the available TRXs in the cell into the candidate TRXs queue, and then orders

    them according to priorities. The TRX with the highest priority is selected as the BCCH

    cooperated TRX.

    The priorities are determined as follows: Each TRX is assigned with a byte. The byte is set to

    OXFF originally. Each bit indicates whether the related function is supported. When certaincondition is met, this bit is set to 0. The smaller the value is, the higher the priority level is.

    Figure 23-1 lists the priority level determination method of the candidate TRX.

    Bit Meaning

    bit2 bit2=0: The transmit and receive modes of the candidate TRX are the same with

    that of the original TRX carrying the primary BCCH.

    NOTEThe transmit and receive modes are the feature of the BTS3012. The DTRU of the BTS3012supports multiple RF transmit modes including the non-combining, PBT, wideband

    combining and transmit diversity. The DTRU of the BTS3012 supports multiple RF receive

    modes including independent receive, receive diversity and four-way receive diversity.

    bit3 bit3=0: When the original TRX carrying the primary BCCH supports the EDGE,

    the candidate TRX supports the EDGE. When the original TRX carrying the

    primary BCCH does not support the EDGE, the candidate TRX does not support

    the EDGE.

    bit4 bit4=0: The candidate TRX is in the underlaid subcell.

    When the cell is a concentric cell, the TRX carrying the primary BCCH is in the

    underlaid subcell and the coverage is broad. If the TRX carrying the primaryBCCH has faults, the coverage of the cell decreases.

    bit5 Reserved.

    In the TRX cooperation, the cell should be initialized. The calls in this cell should be handed

    over to the other cells in order not to influence the speech quality. After the TRX cooperation

    preprocessing, the BSC initiates the postprocess timer with the duration of 10 seconds. Thus, all

    the calls in this cell have enough time to be handed over.

    Postprocessing the TRX Cooperation

    After the postprocessing timer expires, the BSC starts the postprocessing.

    The TRX cooperation postprocessing includes the following:

    l Modifying the dynamic variables

    The system records the number of the cooperated TRXs, the original and the current BCCH

    TRXs. The cooperated TRX and the original BCCH TRX map with each other. When the

    current BCCH TRX returns to the original configuration, the system delivers the

    configuration information to the related TRXs according to the mapping rule during thecell initialization.

    l Sending alarms

    The alarms consists of401 BCCH Mutual Aid in a Cell, 402 Switchback after BCCH

    Mutual Aid in a Cell, 409 Cell BCCH Aiding to IUO_INN TRX, 403 Baseband FH

    Mutual Aid in a Cell and 404 Switchback after Baseband FH Mutual Aid in a Cell.

    l Request the reinitialization of the cell

    The cell should be reinitialized in both the BCCH TRX cooperation and the baseband FH

    TRX cooperation. In the cell initialization of the BCCH TRX cooperation, all the

    configurations of the original BCCH TRX and the cooperated TRX, except the attributes

    about whether support the AMR and the transmit and receive mode of the RF, exchangewith each other.
