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

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.

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 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:

l The TRX where the BCCH is located
l The TRX that is in different TMUs with the original BCCH TRX (The cooperation of the
TRX carrying the primary BCCH cannot be performed in different cabinet groups.)
l The TRX that the status is DISABLED
l The TRX that cannot exchange frequencies with the original BCCH TRX (The CDU and
PBU which the TRX is locates does not support the original active BCCH frequencies.)
l The TRX related to the RF FH in the cavity combiner
l The TRX that is in the different cavity combiner with the original BCCH TRX and the 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.

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.
