Fundamentals of GPRS

The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) allows the packet data transmission in GSM networks.

Up to now, the GSM network works in circuit switched connection mode, that means, that the network gives the customer the exclusive use of a certain amount of bandwidth for the duration of the requirement.

The connection is set up on demand and released when the caller ends the connection.

Circuit switched connections are provided by the present GSM architecture for speech and data services. Data transmission with bandwidth higher than 9.6 kbit/s is reached by combining more radio channel to a specific user with the feature High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD) principle.

If a user has nothing to send, which is typical of bursty data transmission, the resource is wasted since is not available for other users. In other words the circuit switched connection does not provide an efficient way to support data traffic.

GPRS is introduced to support applications requiring bursty data transfer.In order to optimise the use of the network and radio resources, GPRS uses a packet oriented technique to transfer high-speed and low-speed data and signalling in an efficient manner.

New GPRS radio channels are defined, and the allocation of these channels is flexible: From 1 to 8 radio interface timeslots can be allocated per TDMA frame. Timeslots are shared by the active users, and uplink and downlink channels are allocated separately.

The radio interface resources can be shared dynamically between speech and data services as a function of service load and operator preferences.

Generally the packet network establishes a logical connection between users but does not guarantee immediate access to the transmission network: When more than one user try to access at the same transmission resource at the same time, the network has to schedule the access keeping some users in wait queue.

The common part between the GSM and GPRS networks is the radio resources.

New interfaces and network elements are defined in the network. In the new network architecture speech and data transmission with switched connections are still controlled by the MSC (A interface). The GPRS services are controlled by the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), which is a new network node specific for the GPRS network.

7-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 8: GPRSp60v5

Concerning the network elements in GR 1.0 the SGSN and GGSN are one physical node. That means the following Interfaces are not supported in GR1.0:

Gn-Interface between SGSN and GGSN Gp-Interface from/to other PLMN Gd-Interface to SMS-C Gf-Interface to EIR Gs-Interface to MSC/VLR Gc-Interface to HLR

Abis interface

On the Abis interface between BSC and BTSE, GPRS data and Radio Link Control (RLC) / Media Access Control (MAC) associated signalling information are transferred via 16 kbit/s channels.

Figure 2 Protocol stack for data transmission in GPRS

GPRS supports the protocol stack specified in GSM Rec. 03.60.The lower layers carry out the following functions:

GSM RF The GSM RF is the physical radio channel used to transfer packet data.

MAC The Medium Access Control provides the access to the physical radio resources. It is responsible for the physical allocation of a packet data channels (PDTCH).

8-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 9: GPRSp60v5

RLC The Radio Link Control layer provides a reliable link over the air interface that fits the block structure of the physical channel. Therefore it segments and re-assembles the LLC frames. Additionally, it performs a sub-multiplexing to support more than one MS by one physical channel and the channel combining to provide up to eight physical channels to one MS.

LLC The Logical Link Control layer provides a logical connection between MS and SGSN even if no physical connection is established. The physical connection is set up by RLC/MAC layer when there is data to transmit.

The mapping of different Layers is shown in the next figure:

Figure 3 transmission and reception data flow in GPRS

LLC frames (the logical connection between MS and SGSN) are variable in length.

They will be hacked into packets and will be filled in RLC/MAC blocks. The lenght of the RLC/MAC blocks (also called PCU frames) is fixed (320 bit). How much the PCU frames will be filled with data is dependent on which Coding Scheme is used.

For example using CS-2, the PCU frame is completely filled with data, using CS-1 the PCU frame is only partly filled with data and the rest stays empty.

9-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 10: GPRSp60v5

The decision to take which Coding Scheme can be read out of the RLC/MAC block header.

Each PCU frame carriers one Radio Block. One Radio Block (RLC/MAC Block) will be transmitted on the Air Interface via 4 Normal Bursts. These Bursts belong to the same 52-Multiframe.

For GPRS, there exists two types of Radio Blocks: a Radio Block for data transfer and for control messages (see figure 4).

There are two different Radio block structures:

Figure 4 Radio block: RLC/MAC Blocks

To ensure the right transmission order of RLC/MAC blocks, there is a Block Sequence Number in each RLC/MAC block header.

The PCU frames (see Figure 6) which are transferred every 20 ms, via the Abis are an extension of the known TRAU frames, defined in GSM 08.60 but they are not standardised by GSM. Within the control bits of the PCU frame the follwing information is available:

Temporary block flow (TBF)

The MAC provides the establishment of a Temporary Block Flow (TBF), which is a physical connection between one specific MS and the network to support the unidirectional transfer of LLC Packet Data Units on packet data physical channels.

The TBF is an allocated radio resource on one or more PDCHs and comprise a number of RLC/MAC blocks carrying one or more LLC PDUs. A TBF to/from the MS is maintained only for the duration of the data transfer.

PCU T3141 1 to 30 sec.

Default: 5 sec.

This timer is started at network side after TBF is setup and sent in the DL as a part of IMM_ASS message and stopped after successful contention resolution.

Each TBF is assigned a Temporary Flow Identity (TFI) by the network. The TFI is assigned in a resource assignment message and will be stored in the first octet of the RLC/ MAC block.

The TBF is identified by the TFI together with,

in case of a RLC data block:The direction (UL or DL) in which the RLC data block is sent,

in case of a RLC/MAC control message:The direction (UL or DL) in which the RLC/MAC control message is sent and the message type.

The importance of the TFI can be understood when considering the multiplexing of more MSs on the same PDCH (see chapter 2.1.4).

The TBF can be initiated by either the MS or the network (see next chapter).

13-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 14: GPRSp60v5

TBF establishment initiated by MS on PCCCH

The purpose of the packet access procedure is to establish a TBF.

Whether a MS is authorised to do random access for request of a GPRS service is dependent on the MS priority class defined on SIM card (as higher the MS priority class, as more the network should take care of the transmission quality).

Object/ Package

The MS shall initiate a packet access procedure by scheduling the sending of PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST messages on the PRACH (Packet Random Access Channel) corresponding to its PCCCH_GROUP and simultaneously leaving the packet idle mode.

The PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST messages contains parameters required to indicate the MS demand of radio resource and an indication of the type of access.

The MS can access the GPRS network by using an 8-bit or 11-bit access bursts on PDCH. The decision which access burst to use is done by the network with sending the System Information Parameter: Access_Burst_Type.

PTPPKF ABUTYP

Access_Burst_Type

See GSM 5.02

ACBU8BIT,ACBU11BIT,

Default: ACBU8BIT

This parameter indicates the type of access burst used on uplink PDCH.

The 8-bit access on PRACH or RACH is used in case of PAGING RESPONSE, CELL UPDATE, MM PROCEDURE and in all cases that the MS requires to send no more information than the MS class and priority.

The 11-bit access on PRACH is used in all cases described for 8-bit access but with additional information to be carried in the access phase, e.g. an enhanced random reference number leading to less probability of MS collision, when trying to establish an uplink TBF.

TBF establishment initiated by MS on PCCCH can use either the One Phase Access or the Two Phase Access (with an additional Packet Resource Assignment, see Fig. 7).

Note: It is also possible to establish a TBF initiated by MS on CCCH!

TBF establishment initiated by MS on CCCH (see GSM 04.08 chapter 3.5.2) can also use either the One Phase Access (Fig. 8) or the Two Phase Access (with an additional Packet Resource Assignment).

One phase access can be used for data like signalling messages were a few blocks on one Timeslot are sufficient. Single block access is used for messages that fit in one RLC/MAC block.

Two phase access has to be used when the Mobile requests more then 1 Timeslot or if it wants to use RLC unacknowledge mode.

a) With 1 phase access the Mobile can automatically requests only one Timeslot.

b) 2 phase access means that the Mobile requests one single block in Uplink. In this single block the Mobile can transfer a "Packet Resource Request", requesting one or more Timeslots.

15-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 16: GPRSp60v5

- The Mobile shall request 1 phase access if the purpose of the access is to send a Paging Response, Cell Update, Signalling Message for GPRS Mobility Managment (e.g. Attach Request) or GPRS Session Managment (e.g. activate PDP context request).

- The Mobile shall request single block access if it has to transmit only one RLC/MAC control message like "Packet downlink Ack/Nack" or "Packet measurement report".

- If the Mobile has to transmit data in RLC unacknowledge mode, it shall request single block access and attempt a 2 phase access. In the following "Packet Resource Request" the Mobile shall indicate RLC unacknowledged mode. In one phase access the RLC mode defaults to acknowledged mode. If the Mobile has to transmit data in RLC acknowledged mode it can either request one phase access or two phase access e.g. if it needs more timeslots.

The BSC is the master. Even if the Mobile requested one phase access the BSC can force the Mobile to two phase access by assigning only a single block in the IMMEDIATE Assignment.

After the MS has made a Packet Channel Request to the network, the network responds on PAGCH (Packet Access Grant Channel) or AGCH and sends a Packet Uplink Assignment to the MS including the USF for that particular MS.

An Uplink state flag USF sent from the Packet Control Unit (PCU) is included in the header of each RLC/MAC block on a downlink PDCH.

Uplink Packet Transfer

The MS monitors the USFs on the allocated PDCHs and transmits Radio Blocks on those, which currently bear the USF value reserved for the usage of the MS.

TBF establishment initiated by the network on PCCCH

Packet Paging

Paging for GPRS are performed on Routing Area instead ones of standard GSM that are done on Location Area. The routing Area information element consists out of MCC (Mobile Country code), MNC (Mobile network code), LAC (Location Area code) and RAC (Routing Area Code) GSM 04.08 chapter 10.5.5.15.The network initiates packet transfer to an MS that is in Standby-state by sending a Packet Paging Request on the downlink PPCH (Packet Paging Channel) or PCH. The MS responds to the Packet Paging Request by initiating a procedure for paging response. After the Packet Paging response, the mobility management-state of the MS is in Ready-state.

22-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 23: GPRSp60v5

Figure 10 Packet Paging with GPRS Control Channels

Three network operation modes for paging procedures are defined:

Mode Circuit Paging Channel

GPRS Paging Channel

I Packet Paging Channel Packet Paging Channel (GPRS MS standby)

CCCH Paging Channel CCCH Paging Channel (GPRS MS standby)

Packet Data Channel 1) Not Applicable 2) (GPRS MS ready)

II CCCH Paging Channel CCCH Paging Channel (GPRS MS standby)

III CCCH Paging Channel Packet Paging Channel (GPRS MS standby)

CCCH Paging Channel CCCH Paging Channel (GPRS MS standby)

1) In GPRS MM ready state (TBF is set up): If MS receives now a signalling for a circuit switched incoming call. Then circuit switched Paging can be done via Packet Data Channel (PACCH)

2) In GPRS MM ready state (no TBF is set up or e.g. an UL TBF exists and the network wants to establish a DL TBF), the network does not carry out the paging procedure in order to establish TBF, it simply sends IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message in the MSs paging subgroup. In this way it eliminates lots of extra messages (packet paging request and paging response since the purpose of this two messages is only to locate the exact cell location of the MS while in the Ready state the SGSN knows the MS by cell).

Paging in GSM MM ready state is only to initiate circuit swich service while MS is packet attached (Class A&B Mobile), since the SGSN have more exact location info of MS.

General: If in GPRS MM ready state (TBF is set-up): another Packet service request comes in, the network will notify the other party the MS as busy. It´s up to the network to decide if it wants to hold or simply rejects the request. The MS will only request one TBF in Uplink.It is unclear, how the network reacts when it has to download data from different sources. But depending on it's capability a Mobile can activate several PDP contexts, that means different applications might run in parallel.

23-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 24: GPRSp60v5

Comment to Mode I: A MS needs only to monitor one Paging Channel. GPRS MS will always be paged via SGSN, nevertheless whether a circuit switched service or a GPRS service shall be set up (Gs – Interface has to exist).

Comment to Mode II: A MS needs only to monitor the CCCH paging channel, but that circuit-switched paging continues on this paging channel even if the MS has been assigned a packet data channel.

Comment to Mode III: A MS that wants to receive pages for both circuit-switched and packet-switched services shall monitor both paging channels if the packet paging channel is allocated in the cell.

In NMO II and NMO III CS-paging will be sent from the MSC via SS7 link to the BSC and GPRS paging will be sent from SGSN via Gb-interface to the BSC.

Default: NMO_2

Network mode of operation

For proper operation the mode of operation should be the same in each cell of a routing area.

Downlink Packet Transfer

Transmission of a packet to an MS in the Ready state is initiated by the network using the Packet downlink Assignment message (see figure 11).

After the MS has made a Packet Channel Request to the network, the network sends a Packet Uplink Assignment to the MS inclulding the USF for that particular MS.An Uplink state flag (USF) sent from the Packet Control Unit (PCU) is included in the header of each RLC/MAC block on a downlink PDCH. The MS monitors the USFs on the allocated PDCHs and transmits Radio Blocks on those which currently bear the USF value reserved for the usage of the MS.

The USF flag is used by the network to control the multiplexing of different MS on uplink PDCH (to prevent collision on uplink channel).

DOWNLINK

Multiplexing the Radio Blocks destined for different MSs on the same PDCH downlink is enabled with an identifier, TFI, included in each Radio Block.

The network initiates packet transfer to an MS that is in Standby state by sending a Packet Paging Request on the downlink PPCH (Packet Paging Channel) or PCH.The MS answers with a Packet channel Request on PRACH to the network. The network sends a Packet downlink assignment on PAGCH to the MS including the TFI.

From there on the MS monitors all TFI on the allocated PDCH, as soon as it detects its own TFI, it knows that the Radio Block received is the Radio Block for that particular MS.

The TFI is assigned in a resource assignment message and will be stored in the first octet of the RLC/MAC block.

27-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 28: GPRSp60v5

Acknowledged mode for RLC/MAC operation

The transfer of RLC data blocks in the RLC acknowledged mode uses retransmissions of RLC data blocks. The transmitting side numbers the RLC data blocks via the block sequence number (BSN). The BSN is used for retransmission and for reassembly. The receiving side sends PACKET Ack./ Nack messages in order to request retransmission of RLC data blocks.

The decision wether to use Acknowledged or Unacknowledged Mode on upper layers depends on the applications used (e.g. access on internet normaly with unacknowledged mode).

Gb interface

The Gb interface is connecting the BSS-BSC to the SGSN transferring signalling information and user data. Several BSS-BSCs may be interfaced to one SGSN on the Gb interface. A user is allocated resources upon activity (i.e. when data is either sent or received), however the resources are reallocated when the activity ends. This approach is different to the A-interface where a user is dedicated a resource throughout the call irrespective of activity.

The various layers realise the following functions:L1 GSM 08.14 specifies Layer 1 of the Gb interface. Frame Relay

Network

39-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 40: GPRSp60v5

Service The Network Service (NS) performs transport of NS Service Data Units (SDU) between the SGSN and BSS. The Gb interface is based on FR as specified in GSM 08.16. FR supports high rate data transmission with low delay. Frames of different sizes may be transmitted. FR performs congestion control and error detection, however error correction is not supported.

BSSGP Primary functions of the Base Station Subsystem GPRS protocol (BSSGP) are providing connection-less link between the SGSN and BSS (layer 2 level), providing tools for bi-directional control of the data flow and handling paging requests from the SGSN to the BSS.

LLC The Logical Link Control layer (LLC) provides logical links between an MS and a corresponding SGSN. The transport of both data and signalling is supported.

SNDCP SubNetwork Dependent Convergence Protocol (SNDCP) supports a direct peer to peer (i.e. point-to-point) communication between an MS and a SGSN. User data is transported from a network layer protocol, e.g. IP or X.25.

The NS layer of the Gb interface is split into a Network Service Control part and a Sub Network Service part as indicated in figure 21. The Service Control part is independent from the physical realisation of the network, whereas the Sub-Network Service entity is the Frame Relay.

Figure 21 Frame Relay realisation on the Gb interface.

Physical Layer Protocol

The Gb Physical layer is specified in GSM 08.14. Depending from the configuration of E1 (PCM30) or T1 (PCM24) a channel can be:

40-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 41: GPRSp60v5

Unchannelized, i.e. the entire E1/T1 line is considered as a channel (i.e. the whole bit stream).

Fractional, i.e. only a part of the bit stream is defined as a channel. The channel may contain groupings of adjacent and/or spaced time slots. In figure 22 the fractional channel contains adjacent TSs only.

Channelized, i.e. the E1/T1 line contains multiple channels where a channel may contain a subset of adjacent and/or spaced time slots. (I.e. the bit stream contains different channels).

The three approaches are illustrated in figure 22. The TSs are numbered 0 to 31. TS0 is used for synchronisation purposes.

Figure 22 Channel time slot allocations.

Realisation of the Physical Layer

In principle four types of configurations are possible in connecting the GPRS entities on the Gb interface:1. A direct line (e.g. PCM30) is connecting the PCU and SGSN. (Static and

permanent physical point-to-point). 2. Through FR network.

41-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 42: GPRSp60v5

3. Nailed Up Connection (NUC) through MSC via FR. Dependent from the configuration (i.e. number of GSM channels) any spare DIU ports may be used for NUC. There may be 31x64kbit/s Permanent Virtual Connections (PVC) on one port in the case of an E1 line.

No FR equipment is used when connecting the BSC to the SGSN via a direct line (either PCM30 or PCM24 connected to the BSC line interface card). In this case the time slots may be unchannelized, fractional and channelized dependent from the configuration of the PVC. A special case is when using channelized mode where the different channels belong to different destinations. In this case the traffic must be separated between the end users of the PVC. A PVC is an end-to-end connection through the FR network.

When using a PCM30 line the MSC can be used in separating the traffic to different destinations. (A total maximum rate of 2 Mbit/s is possible on the PCM30 line). It is emphasized that in this case the carrier must be divided into single 64 Kbit/s channels since a Siemens MSC does not permit switching more than one time slot synchronously. Generally if NUC through a Siemens MSC is used on the Gb interface, then only one time slot of E1 (or T1) can be used. (It is not possible to re-assemble information on the FR layer when the time slots are not bit-synchronous). Although it is impossible to use a PVC over more than one time slot it is possible to provide higher bandwidth by creating more PVCs for a connection (i.e. multiple PVCs of one TS each). Theoretically the maximum number of PVCs per GSN is 65536.

A FR network supports unchannelized, fractional and channelized time slots and FR switching.

Network Service

The Network Service layer is specified in GSM 08.16. The NS layer provides a reliable connection within the FR network. Referring to figure 21 the NS SDUs coming from the BSSGP layer are transported between NS entities of the BSC/PCU and SGSN. A virtual connection on the BSSGP layer (BVC) corresponds to one or more NS Virtual Connections (NSVC) permitting a load sharing function between NSVCs. Error detection is performed, however error recovery is supported by the upper layers. As previously explained the NS layer is split into a Network Service Control part and a Sub Network Service part.

NS Sub Network Service

The NSVC provides end-to-end communication between the BSC/PCU and SGSN irrespective of the exact configuration of the Gb interface. The NSVC is identified by a NSVC Identifier (NSVCI). Referring to figure 24 there is a set of principles that apply to the Gb FR network:

The physical link is the Frame Relay bearer channel. (Allocated TSs in either a direct line or a FR network).

The FR PVC provides an end-to-end connection through the FR network. The Network Service Virtual Link (NSVL) is the local link in one end, i.e at the User Network Interface (UNI) of the FR PVC.

46-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 47: GPRSp60v5

The Data Link Connections (DLC) defines the entry point to the FR network. A DLC is identified with a DLC Identifier (DLCI).

The Network Service Virtual Link Identifier (NSVLI) is the DLCI together with the bearer channel identifier. A physical link supports one or more NSVL’s which again is identified by a NSVLI.

The NSVC is the FR PVC.

Figure 24 Gb interface with a Frame Relay network

Generally the DLCI’s of the NSVC are different on the BSS side and on the SGSN side. The configuration of the FR Network is a network provider responsibility. The interconnections must be established at subscription time.

The creation of a NSVC may be as follows (Ref figure 25):

Additional parameters related to FRL are described in succeeding sections.

AdressingAs stated before the NSVC provides end-to-end connection between the BSS and SGSN irrespective of the configuration of the Gb interface. Due to load sharing more than one NSVC may be configured to transfer the traffic between two entities. The NSVC Group groups together the NSVCs that provide communication between the same entities. The Network Service Entity Identifier (NSEI) has been introduced to identify the groups of NSVCs. The NSEI has an end-to-end significance across the Gb interface.

A BVC is supported by one group of NSVCs. However a group of NSVCs supports one or more BVCs. A BVC is used to transport NS SDUs between NS users.

Each BVC is identified by a BVC Identifier (BVCI) which has an end-to-end significance across the Gb interface. The BVCI together with the NSEI uniquely identifies a BVC within an SGSN. The BVCI and NSEI are used on the NS Service Access Point (NS-SAP) for layer-to-layer communication.

Core FunctionalityOnly PVCs are implemented on the Gb interface. L1 (the Physical layer) must be permanently active, while a channel must be established at subscription time. Core functions of the NS Sub Network Service include data link functions which are required for routing and relaying. However most functions associated with sequencing, error detections, error recovery and flow control are excluded. Figure 26 illustrates the format of the frames across the FR. The FR structure is defined in ITU-T Q.922. Referring to figure 26 the core functions include: Delimiting, alignment and transparency using the Flag field. Multiplexing/de-multiplexing using the Address field. Error detection (to some extent) using the Frame Check Sequence

the congestion detection. If the number of frames coming from the SGSN indicating congestion is equal or greater than the number of frames indicating no congestion within the specified window size, the congestion state is notified to upper layers. TCONG’s range is from 1 to 30 seconds, Default value is 10.

TCONOFF 0,10..30 Time Congestion Off: Specifies the window for congestion abatement. After a congestion notification, no other notifications are foreseen for the time configured by this parameter. This parameter is needed to provide a hysteresis time in order to ensure that the traffic reduction at mobile station can be effective. TCONOFF’s range is from 10 to 30 seconds (with step 1); 0 means no hysteresis time used. (Default value :20)

PVC Connection Status ProceduresA set of PVC connection status procedures are supported: Periodic polling: used in acquiring general status of the network. The

polling interval is defined by the T391 timer. Every T391 seconds the user equipment sends a STATUS ENQUIRY message to the network. (Optionally the Network may initiate the polling procedure).

Link integrity verification: used in determining the in-channel signalling link DLCI-0. Establishing and releasing a logical connection is accomplished by exchanging messages via DLCI-0. The Link Integrity verification procedure is required since DLCI-0 contains unnumbered information (UI) frames at Level 2.

Reporting new PVCs: used to notify users of newly added permanent virtual circuits.

NS Network Service Control

The Network Service Control takes care of the end-to-end NSVCs communication between a PCU and SGSN. Functionality includes: NS SDU transmission: The NS SDUs are transmitted on the NSVCs. A

NS SDU is encapsulated into a NS Control PDU which again is encapsulated into a Sub Network Service PDU.

Load Sharing: The load sharing function distributes the NS SDU traffic among the available NSVCs. A Link Selector Parameter (LSP) is used by the NS control to select among unblocked NSVCs of the addressed BVC when sending the NS SDU.

NSVC management: A blocking and an unblocking procedure are used in organising the NS traffic. Additionally a reset procedure and a test procedure are used in the management of a NSVC.

BSSGP Protocol

The Gb allows many users to be multiplexed over a common physical resource. Both GPRS signalling and user data may be sent on the same physical resource. The primary functions of the BSSGP include: Downlink direction: connect a SGSN to a BSS with radio related

information which is used by the RLC/MAC function. Uplink direction: connect a BSS to a SGSN with radio related

information which is derived from the RLC/MAC function. Provide functionality to enable a SGSN and BSS to perform

management control functions.

BSSGP service model, service primitives, procedures and PDU formats are specified in GSM 08.18. Referring to the Service model in figure 28 the following functions are implemented: BSSGP: Control the transfer of LLC frames between the SGSN and MS

across the Gb interface. RL: The Relay (RL) controls the transfer of LLC frames between the

RLC/MAC and BSSGP.

56-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 57: GPRSp60v5

GMM: GPRS Mobility Management (GMM) is responsible for functions related to mobility management between and SGSN and BSS.

NM: Network Management (NM) is responsible for functions related to the management of the BSS and SGSN across Gb.

Figure 28 BSSGP Service Model

57-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 58: GPRSp60v5

BSSGP Virtual Connection

A BVC provides a communication path between BSSGP user entities. Each BVC is used in transporting BSSGP PDUs. Each BVC is identified by a BVCI which has end-to-end significance across the Gb interface. A BVCI is unique within a SGSN.

Quality-of-Service

Quality-of-Service (QoS) profiles are described in GSM 03.60. For an uplink data transfer the QoS profile is communicated by the MS as priority information. For a downlink transfer the BSSGP provides the means to transfer the QoS profile together with the downlink LLC PDU from The SGSN to the MS.

In GR1.0 only Best effort QoS will be supported. This means the PCU scheduler will queue the MS requests without considering the QoS attributes.

Logical Link Control Functionality

The LLC layer provides logical links between the MS and the SGSN. The LLC supports: Service primitives for transferring SNDCP PDUs between the SNDC

layer and the LLC layer. (See chapter 5 for more information). Procedures for transferring logical link PDUs between the MS and

SGSN. Procedures for detection and recovery of lost and corrupted logical link

PDUs. Procedures for flow control of logical link PDUs between the MS and

SGSN. Procedures for ciphering of logical link PDUs.

For more information on the LLC it is referred to GSM 03.60.

Subnetwork Dependent Convergence Functionality

The SNDCP is used as a direct peer-to-peer communication between the MS and SGSN. User data from a network layer protocol like IP or X.25 is transported. The SNDCP transfers data transparently for the user, and main functions are:

58-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 59: GPRSp60v5

Data compression/decompression (both user data and protocol control information).

Segmentation and Re-assembly of PDU packets. Multiplexing of PDPs.

For more information on the SNDCP it is referred to GSM 03.60.

Channel Configuration

Channel Configuration Overview

For GPRS three types of Packet Data Channel have to be considered:

PCCCH (Packet Common Control Channel) PBCCH (Packet Broadcast Control Channel) PDTCH (Packet Data Traffic Channel)

At the creation of a GPRS channel (PBCCH, PCCCH, PDTCH) the GSUP flag of the related TRX should be already set to TRUE.This new parameter GSUP indicates if the GPRS service is supported or not.

All the traffic channels subordinate to a TRX with GSUP set to TRUE must have the same TSC.

If the TRX have the GSUP set to TRUE, single TCHs must have the same FHSYID and MAIO. If one or more CCCH have already been equipped, the channels cannot hop (i.e. FHSYID attribute must be 0).

On the BCCH TRX the operator can create no more than 5 GPRS channels.The obligation that the maximum number of GPRS channels per TRX is 5 is now valid only for the BCCH TRX. For all others TRX’s this rule is suppressed because it is possible to have up to 8 GPRS channels per TRX.

The parameter GMANPRES and GMANPAL of the object PTPPKF are deleted in BR 6.0. The parameter GMANPAL is more or less substituted by a new parameter called GPDPDTCHA (GprsPercentageofDynamicPDTCHAvailable). See Chapter GPRS featuresBR6.0.The parameter GMAPERTCHRES substitutes the GMANPRES and allows to reserve timeslots for GPRS in a procentual way.

59-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 60: GPRSp60v5

Different packet data logical channels (up to 16) can be multiplexed on the downlink on the same physical data channel (i.e. PDCH).Different packet data logical channels (up to 7) can be multiplexed on the uplink on the same physical data channel, (i.e. PDCH).

But in total only up to 16 different packet data logical channels (UL and DL) can be multiplexed on the same physical channel.

Packet Common Control Channel PCCCH

The physical channel may not be reserved for user traffic only, but some blocks may be chosen for common control signalling.Common control signalling, which is required by GPRS, is carried either on PCCCH, (when allocated) or on CCCH.The PCCCH channels must be created on the BCCH-TRX only.

PCCCH comprises logical channels for common control signalling used for packet data as described in the following and is only allowed to be created on the BCCH figure 29.

PBCCH broadcasts packet data specific System Information, used by the MS to access the network.If PBCCH is not allocated, the packet data specific information is broadcast on BCCH.The PBCCH can only be created on the BCCH.

Packet Data Traffic Channels (PDTCH)

PDTCH is allocated for data transfer. It is temporarily dedicated to one MS or to a group of MSs.In the multislot operation, one MS may use multiple PDTCHs in parallel for individual packet transfer. All packet data traffic channels are uni-directional, either uplink (PDTCH/U) or downlink (PDTCH/D).All the traffic channels subordinate to a TRX with GSUP set to TRUE must must have the same TSC (trainings sequence code).The GSUP can be set to TRUE only if the related PTPPKF is already equipped

Packet Dedicated Control Channels

Packet Dedicated Control channels, dedicated to a given MS, comprises the channels, described in the following figure 30.

Figure 30 Packet Dedicated Control Channel

Channel structure for PDCH

The physical channel dedicated to packet data traffic is called a Packet Data Channel (PDCH). Packet data channels uses 52-multiframe structure, which consists of 52 TDMA frames, divided into 12 blocks (of 4 frames), 2 idle frames and 2 frames used for PTCCH Packet Timing advance Control Channel, see figure 31.

The information sent on a 52-multiframe belongs to one timeslot on a BCCH-TRX.

Any of the TS of the BCCH-TRX can be configured fix as a PBCCH TS. That means, that the first block (B0) of these PDCH multiframe is used as PBCCH. If required, up to 3 more blocks on the same PDCH can be used as additional PBCCH.

Any additional PDCH containing PCCCH is indicated on PBCCH. The total number of PBCCH blocks on this PDCH is indicated in the first PBCCH block by means of the BSPBBLK parameter (from 1 to 4).

Channel Organisation in a Cell

A cell supporting GPRS may allocate resources on one or several physical channels in order to support the GPRS traffic. Those physical channels (i.e. PDCHs), shared by the GPRS MSs, are taken from the common pool of physical channels available in the cell. The allocation of the physical channels to circuit switched services and GPRS is done dynamically according to the ”capacity on demand”, e.g. unused channels can be allocated as PDCHs to increase the overall quality of service for GPRS or upon resource demand for other services with higher priority, de-allocation of PDCHs can take place.

66-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 67: GPRSp60v5

The resource allocation/deallocation is driven by the PPCU software.

Moreover the new BR 6.0 feature ‘Service dependend channel allocation’ allows an operator defined distribution between speech and data traffic.This establish the possibility to distinguish between data and speech channel allocation. The channel indication depends on the free resources at thetime a channel is required.

67-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 68: GPRSp60v5

Channel Organisation in a CellIn SBS GR1.0 the following channel combinations per timeslot are allowed:

- PBCCH + PCCCH + PDTCH + PACCH + PTCCH - PCCCH + PDTCH + PACCH + PTCCH- PDTCH + PACCH + PTCCH

Where PCCCH = PPCH + PRACH + PAGCH + PNCH

The decision, when to take which combination is a question of resources. If the operator has enough resources it is recommendable to use a PBCCH beside the BCCH e.g. the cell re-selection process will be much faster than without PBCCH.

Control Channel Configuration

Packet Common Control Channel

When PCCCH is allocated in a cell, all GPRS attached MSs camp on it. PCCCH can be allocated either as a result of the increased demand for packet data transfers or whenever there is enough available physical channels in a cell (to increase the quality of service).The information about PCCCH is broadcast on BCCH. When no PCCCH is allocated in a cell, all GPRS attached MSs camp on the CCCH.

The parameter GCCH of the Channel package is not existing in BR 6.0 anymore.It is substituted by the new parameter GDCH, which is used to control if the channel is enabled or not to carry control informations for GPRS.

PACCH also carries resource assignment and reassignment messages, comprising the assignment of a capacity for PDTCH and for further occurrences of PACCH. The PACCH shares resources with PDTCHs, that are currently assignoed to one MS.

Logical Functions

Network Access Control FunctionsOn the air interface the cell structure organisation remains the same as in the actual implementation. Additional identifier is introduced to group the cells supporting GPRS service in the Location Area (LA). This information is named Routing Area (RA) and is a sub entity of the Location Area, it is a more precise description of the current position of the GPRS-MS.One LA can include more than one RA.

Default: 0

This attribute is used by the MS to identify the specific routing area.

Since the RA can be smaller than LA, and it´s numbering is not unique in the network but it is unique in the LA, RACOL is used to choose the right RA when the MS is listening to different LA containing routing area with the same code. The RA colour code for neighbour LA must be set different by network planning.

The mobile allowed to access GPRS service receive the information about the service in the System Information on BCCH channel. System Information 3 and 4 have to be modified in order to insert parameters for GPRS. New System Information 13, 14, 15 have to be sent on the air interface carrying all parameter for GPRS network access.

Mobility Management FunctionsMobility Management functions are used to know about the actual point of presence of a MS in its home PLMN or visited PLMN.

Mobility Management States

The Mobility Management (MM) activities related to a GPRS subscriber are characterised by one of three different MM states.

Idle StateA MS in Idle state is detached concerning GPRS. Only GPRS subscriptions data are available in the HLR. No other information are available in other network entities such as SGSN and GGSN.The MS has to watch the BCCH, to determine the cells supporting GPRS service. Doing so, the GPRS MS is able to make PLMN and cell selection procedures.

To leave the Idle State, the MS has to run through the attach procedure. After successfully attach procedure the MS is in the Ready state.

Ready State

70-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 71: GPRSp60v5

In Ready state the SGSN knows the Routing Area RA and the actual cell of the GPRS-MS. If the GPRS-MS is changing the cell, the SGSN gets informed.Therefore no paging is necessary. The downlink packet data transfer is enabled. The ready status does not mean, that a physical connection is established between the SGSN and MS. Only in ready state SGSN and MS are able to transfer data packets. MS and SGSN are leaving the Ready state after a certain time period and enter the Standby state.MS and SGSN are leaving the Ready state after a ready release procedure and enter then the Idle state.

Standby StateIn Standby state the GPRS-MS is attached to the GPRS network. The GPRS-MS and the SGSN keep up a mobility management context. The MS watches the broadcast channel to determine the cells which are supporting GPRS and to get informed about Paging Channel PCH and Paging requests.The SGSN knows the Routing area of each MS. The GPRS-MS informs the SGSN about Routing area changes and responds on Paging Requests.

To enter into the Ready state, a SGSN has to page a MS or the MS has to initiate a data transfer (PDU transmission).After a certain period in standby state the MS is entering the Idle State.

Location Management Procedure

The PLMN shall provide information for the MS to be able to:- detect when it has entered a new cell or a new RA- determine when to perform periodic RA updates

The MS detects that a new cell has been entered by comparing the cells identity with the cell identity stored in the MS MM context. The MS detects that a new RA has been entered by periodically comparing the RAI stored in its MM context with that received from the new cell.

If the MS enters a new PLMN, the MS shall either perform a routing area update, or enter IDLE state.

Packet Timing Advance Feature

The Timing Advance procedure, supported with BR5.5, is used to derive the correct value for timing advance that the MS has to use for the uplink transmission of radio blocks.

71-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 72: GPRSp60v5

Initial timing advance estimation (GSM 03.64) The initial timing advance estimation is made by the BTS on the first RACH carrying the Packet Channel Request.The estimation is sent to the BSC-PCU, which notifies back to the MS the information in the Packet Resource/ Immediate Assignment message.This timing advance value shall be used by the MS for the uplink transmissions until the continuous timing advance update provides a new value.

Continuous timing advance estimation (GSM 03.64) In the Packet Resource/ Immediate Assignment message an Timing Advance Index (TAI) is assigned to the MS, so that a Continuous Timing Advance Update mechanism to compute the timing advance value can be performed with the only intervention of the BTS.TAI specifies the PTCCH sub-channel (these are the idle frames in the 52-Multiframe) used by the MS.

On uplink the MS shall send in the assigned PTCCH access burst, which is used by the network to derive the timing advance.

The network analyses the received access burst and determines new timing advance values for all MSs performing the continuous timing advance update procedure on that PDCH. The new timing advance values shall be sent via a downlink signalling message (TA-message) on PTCCH/D.Every second PDCH multiframe starts a downlink TA-message.

(PTCCH/U and PTCCH/D Structure can be found in GSM 05.02 Clause7 Table 6)

System Information ManagementSystem information messages are regularly broadcast by the network on BCCH and busy TCH. With help of the system information the MS is able to decide whether and how it may gain access to the network via the current cell.If a PBCCH channel is allocated in the cell, then new GPRS needed System Information called Packet System Information (PSI) shall be broadcasted on the PBCCH.

There exist Packet System Information: PSI 1, PSI 2, PSI 3, PSI 4, PSI 5, PSI 13 (see GSM 04.60)

For example PSI 1 message is sent by the network on the PBCCH or PACCH giving information for Cell selection, for control of the PRACH, for description of the control channel and optional global power control parameters.

For example PSI 2 message is sent by the network on the PBCCH or PACCH giving information of reference frequency lists, mobile allocations and PCCCH channel descriptions applicable for packet access in the cell.

For example PSI13 message is sent by the network on PACCH providing the MS with GPRS cell specific access-related information (e.g. Page Mode, RAC, NCO, GPRS Power Control Parameters...). The information in this message shall be the same as provided in the SI13 message on BCCH.

With BR 6.0 new hardware boards are introduced for the BSC.

It consists of the replacement of existing boards with new PIN compatible boards.

PPXX (General Purpose Peripheral Processor) replaces the previous PPLD and PPCC boards. This new board increases the GPRS channels up to 256 PDTCH per board and eliminates the impact of LAPD channel capacity by using Packet Data Traffic Channels. With the maximum amount of 6 PPXX boards for GPRS 1536 PDTCH are achived. The data throughput is increased to 24 MB/s.

SNAP (Switching Network Advance Performance) replaces the previous SN16. It increases the number of switching capacity up to 72 PCM lines.

The hardware implementation per PCU is realised by adding the following boards to the BSC:

two boards of the PPCUs (Peripheral Packet Control Unit) if the NTWCARD is NTWSN16/64

PPXU (same number as PCU) if the NTWCARD is NTWSNAP.

One of the PPCU card is providing service while the other one is in cold standby. One BSC is able to have up to six PCUs. In case of more than one PCUs, the Packet Traffic is divided between the PCUs. For the PDTCH with ‘n’ PPXX boards the PDTCH load is shared through the load sharing mechanism.In case of card failure an additional PPXX board guarantee the bandwidth, if required.

If the NTWCARD is NTWSN16/64:

For one or two PPCU’s of the first PCU 0, the rack position of PPLD 11 and 12 as well as PPLD 13 and 14 must be removed.

For one or two PPCU’s of the second PCU 1, the rack position of PPLD 7 and 8 as well as PPLD 9 and 10 must be removed.

76-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 77: GPRSp60v5

For each PCU four PPLD cards have to be removed, independend of one or two PPCU cards.

If the NTWCARD is NTWSNAP:

The PDT functional object is used internally to represent the 16 kbit/s terminal of connection reserved on the internal 2 Mbit/s for each channel allocated on the Um interface (PDTCH, PBCCH, PCCCH). This object is not visible and manageable by the operator.

The PCU can be considered enabled when one super-ordinate PPCU is Providing Service.All attributes that are common for all subordinated objects (FRL,NSVC,PTPPKF) are inserted on PCU object in order to avoid duplicated data. The configuration of the PPCU parameters has to be done via the PCU.

when NTWCARD=NTWSN16/64· To create one PCU (PCU 0):– delete PPLD from 11 to 14 (if present);– create PCU 0.This operation automatically creates the objects PPCU 0 and

PPCU 1.· To create two PCU (PCU-0 and PCU-1):– delete PPLD from 11 to 14 (if present);– create PCU 0;– delete PPLD from 7 to 10 (if present);– create PCU 1.This operation automatically creates the objects PPCU 0, PPCU 1, PPCU 2 and PPCU 3.

when NTWCARD=NTWSNAP· To create one PCU (PCU 0):– create PCU 0.This operation automatically creates the object PPXU 0It must be note that the PPXU are 6 in total.

The command of creating a PCU requires different parameter to be set. In particular the number of PDT and number of FRL must be set.

See Appendix B

Create FRLTwo cases must be considered:1) if the link to SGSN is realised by PCMA (i.e. via MSC), it is possible to create the Frame Relay Link (FRL) directly without any other operations;2) if the link to SGSN is realised by PCM GPRS (PCMG), the PCMG object must be created; after that is is possible to create the Frame Relay Link (FRL).

See Appendix A

79-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 80: GPRSp60v5

Create NSVCWith the creation of this object, the virtual connection to the SGSN is created.Each BSSGP Virtual Connection (BVC) is used to transport Network Service Signaling Data Units (NS SDU) between users. Each BVC is supported by one group of NSVCs. Each group of NSVCs supports one or more BVCs. The Network Service (NS) entity maps between BVC and the related NSVC group.

See Appendix A

Create PTPPKFThere must be created as many Point to Point Packet Functions (PTPPKF) as required for the GPRS service. Note that the creation of this object is possible only if a BTS is already created. At least one PCU instance must already exist, at least one NSVC must be created.The mapping between BVC and NSVC must be done at the PTPPKF creation.(The PTPPKF cannot be deleted if there is a subordinate TRX with GSUP set to TRUE.)

See Appendix B

Design of Radio cells

Cell (Re-) Selection No Handover functionality is foreseen in GPRS: the MS which moves across cells selects the best cell following cell (re)selection criteria. If the MS is involved in data transfer, packets may be lost during cell re-selection. Upper layers will then recognise the inconsistency, discard the frame and ask for a retransmission.Optionally it is possible to run a procedure which is called `Network Controlled Cell-Reselection (see chapter 6.1.6) and is not foreseen for BR5.5.

Cell (Re-) Selection applies to GPRS MSs in Standby and Ready states; Cell Re-Selection is performed by the MS, except for class A MS while in a circuit switched connection.The new cell re-selection criteria C31 and C32 are performed if a PBCCH is allocated and should help to make the cell planning for GPRS as similar to the existing network planning.If GPRS is only supported on BCCH the existing C2 cell re-selection shall be used.

Overview how the cell selection criteria for using BCCH and PBCCH can be related:

C1 is just an assessment of the field strengths (on uplink and on downlink). If a PBCCH is used, the C1 criterion is calculated by the same formula (as in GSM) but with a separate parameter set, which is transmitted on the PBCCH, PSI message, (e.g. GPRS_RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN and GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH).

With this seperate parameter set it is possible for the network operator to configure the cells different for GPRS and non-GPRS. Please consider that on PBCCH the network has the chance to indicate in a BA(GPRS)-List a different set of neighbour cells than for non-GPRS.

81-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 82: GPRSp60v5

C31 can be used for hierarchical cell structures. The advantage is that C31 uses also a priority mechanism. It is necessary to introduce C31 into GPRS, as the cell re-selection has to be done by the MS. The MS need to get information of the neighbour cells (e.g. in which layer the neighbour cells are laying, and which priority the neighbour cells have), to decide about cell re-selection.(For speech the Handover desicion is done by the BTS, so there is no additional information for the cell itself necessary).

C32 is similar to the C2.

C2 (for GSM only) contains in addition to C1 an offset (to make a cell better or worse than another) and a temporary offset, which is used to make the cell worse during the first x seconds (i.e. the MS must "see" that cell for that period of time before it may re-select it; this can be used for preventing some cells for re-selection by a fast driving MS).

GPRS Path loss criterion C1

The path loss criterion C1 is a minimum signal level criterion for GPRS cell selection and cell reselection is defined by:

C1 = RLA_P – GPRS_RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN – Max( 0, GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH – P)

RLA_P received average BCCH (PBCCH) on MS

The MS shall measure the received signal level on the PBCCH carriers of the serving cell and the surrounding cells and calculate the received level average RLA_P for each carrier. The cells to be monitored for cell reselection are defined in the BA (BCCH Allocation)(GPRS) list, which is broadcast on PBCCH, At least 5 received signal level measurement samples are required for a valid RLA_P.

RLA_P = 1/5 * (GPRS_RXLEV1 + GPRS_RXLEV2 + ...+ GPRS_RXLEV5)

0..31

Default: 2

Defines the maximum power level that can be used, at MS side in the cell

The path loss criterion is satisfied if C1>0.

This means that the minimum allowed received downlink level to access the network has to be above a threshold (GPRS_RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN).

To ensure a sufficient uplink received level even for MS of low transmit power level P, the C1 criteria works as following:

If P < GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH

C1 = RLA_P – GPRS_RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN – (GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH – P)

If P > GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH

C1 = RLA_P – GPRS_RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN

Beside the C1 radio criterion there are some other criterions for a cell to be suitable:

1. Cell must be part of the selected PLMN2. Cell must be configured for GPRS3. Cell is not barred

Signal level threshold criterion C31

The signal level threshold criterion parameter C31 for hierarchical cell structures (HSC) is used to determine whether prioritised hierarchical GPRS and LSA cell reselection shall apply and is defined by:

C31(s) = RLA_P(s) – HCS_THR(s) (serving cell)

Page 88: GPRSp60v5

If Parameter C31_HYST is set and MS is in MM ready state:The GPRS_CELL_RESELECT_HYSTERESIS shall be subtracted from the C31 value for the neighbour cell!

Under all this cells you have to find the best cell, therefore it is checked:

If there are cells which fulfil that C31 is 0 , then only the cells with the highest LSA priority are taken into account for further calculations. If there is only one cell with the highest LSA priority, then this cell will be the best cell to make cell reselection on.

Location Service Area (LSA) priority of the SoLSA feature is defined by the list of LSAs for the subscriber stored on the SIM. LSA priority shall only be considered by MS supporting SoLSA feature.

If there are no or more cells with the highest LSA priority, then for these cells the PRIORITY_CLASS is checked. If there is only one cell with the highest PRIORITY_CLASS, then this cell will be the best cell to make cell reselection on.

If there are more cells with the highest PRIORITY_CLASS,then for this cells the C32 (C1 criterion comes here into account!) criterion will be calculated. The cell with the highest C32 criterion will be the best cell to make cell reselection on.

Following hysteresis value shall be subtracted form the C32 value for the neighbour cells:- in standby state, if the new cell is the same routing area: 0- in ready state, if the new cell is in the same routing area:

GPRS_CELL_RESELECT_HYSTERESIS (to delay a cell re-selection, as a TBF might be interrupted)

- in standby or ready state, if the new cell is in a different routing area:RA_RESELECT_HYSTERESIS (to delay a cell re-selection, as routing area changes will produce a lot of extra signalling)

- in case of a cell re-selection occurred within the previous 15 seconds: 5dB

GPRS_CELL_RESELECT_HYSTERESIS,C31_HYST and RA_RESELECT_HYSTERESIS are broadcast on PBCCH of the serving cell

Note: if the parameter C32_Qual is set, positive GPRS_RESELECT_OFFSET values shall only applied to the neighbour with the highest RLA_P value of those cells for which C32 is compared above.

If there are no cells which fulfill that C31 is 0 . then the C32 criterion will be calculated for all cells. The cell with the highest C32 criterion will be the best cell to make cell reselection on.

Note: if the parameter C32_Qual is set, positive GPRS_RESELECT_OFFSET values shall only applied to the neighbour with the highest RLA_P value of those cells for which C32 is compared above.

Cell re-selection for any other reason (see GSM 03.22) shall take place immediately, but the cell that the MS was camped on shall not be returned to within 5 seconds, if another suitable cell can be found. If valid RLA_P values are not available, the MS shall wait until these values are available and then perform the cell re-selection if it is required.The MS may accelerate the measurement procedure within the requirements (in GSM 05.08 subclause 10.1.1) to minimise the cell reselection delay.

If no suitable cell is found within 10 seconds, the cell selection algorithm of GSM 03.22 shall be performed. Since information concerning a number of channels is already known to the MS, it may assign high priority to measurements on the strongest carriers from which it has not previously made attempts to obtain BCCH information and omit repeated measurements on the known ones.

Measurements reporting

When ordered to send measurements reports, the MS shall continuously monitor all carriers in BS(GRPS) or as indicated by the parameter NC_FREQUENCY_LIST (this list adds/deletes frequencies to the GPRS BCCH Allocation (BA) list both for cell re-selection and for measurement reports) and the PBCCH carrier of the serving cell.

For each carrier, the measured received signal level (RXLEV) shall be average of the received signal level measurement samples in dBm taken on that carrier within the reporting period.After each reporting period, the MS shall send a measurement report to BSS.

GPRS features

Power ControlPower Control is employed to minimise the transmit power required by the MS or BSS whilst maintaining the quality of the radio links. By minimising the transmit power levels, interference to co-channel users is reduced.

For the uplink, the MS shall follow a flexible power control algorithm, which the network can optimise through a set of parameters. It can be used for both open loop and closed loop power control (description in GSM 05.08 Annex B). In BR 5.5 only open loop control will be supported. For the downlink, the power control is performed in the BTS. Therefore, there is no need so specify the actual algorithm, but information about the downlink performance is needed. Therefore the MSs have to transfer Channel Quality reports to the BTS. Power control is not applicable to point-to-multipoint multicast service.Power Control is a mandatory feature for the MS, while it is optional for the network.

MS output power

The MS shall calculate the RF output power value, PCH, to be used on each individual uplink PDCH assigned to the MS:

Pch = min( 0 - ch - * (Cn + 48), PMAX)

Where0 =39 dBm for GSM900

=36 dBm for DCS 1800

ch is an MS and channel specific power control parameter, sent to the MS in a control message, for BR5.5 this parameter will be set fixed to 3 = 6dB

PMAX is the maximum allowed output power in the cell=GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH if PBCCH exists otherwise MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH (broadcasts on BCCH or PBCCH)

When the MS receives new ch or values, the MS shall use the new value to update Pch .

The MS shall use the same output power on all four bursts within one radio block.When accessing a cell on the PRACH or RACH and before receiving the first power control parameters during packet transfer on PDCH, the MS shall use the output power defined by PMAX.

The open loop control is achieved by setting = 1 and keeping ch constant; with this method the MS output power is based on the received signal strenght assuming the same path loss in uplink and downlink.

For closed loop control the output power is commanded by the network based on signal measurements made in the BTS in a similar way as for the cicuit switched connection.The quality based control method, which is based on interference level measurements at the BTS and that can be used in combination with any of the two methods, is not for release BR5.5.

QoS (Quality of service)The GPRS subscriber profile is a description of the services allowed for the subscriber. It contains the description of the used Packet Data Protocol PDP. For each PDP there are parameter such as QoS (Quality of Service) parameter available.

Dependent on the data to be sent, the requirements for transmission quality can be different. GPRS adapts to this requirements, as it is possible to vary the QoS over a large value of attributes.

Currently there are five different attributes specified within QoS:- precedence class- delay class- reliability class- peak throughput class- mean throughput class

Precedence classThe precedence class indicates the relative importance of maintaining the service commitments.There are three different classes defined for the packets, so that case of limited resources/congestion it will be clear which packet has the highest priority.- 1 high priority- 2 normal priority- 3 low priority

Delay classFour different delay classes can be used. A PLMN may not support all of them, however class 4 has to be supported, which is the best effort class.Delay class specifies the maximum delay concerning the data packets through the whole GPRS-network. Delay due to external networks is not considered.In GR1.0 (BR 5.5) only ”best effort” class is supported.Reliability classThe reliability class defines error rates for five different reliability classes.

class 2 = 0,22 bit/s .....class 19 = 111kbit/s

During the QoS profile negotiation between the MS and the network, it is possible for the mobile to request a value for each of the QoS attributes; the network shall always attempt to provide adequate resources to support the negotiated QoS profile.

The PCU, taking into account the available radio resources and the multislot capabilities of the MS, decides if and how the requested QoS may be satisfied.

This means that the core algorithm of the PCU, will try to satisfy the requested QoS by acting on many factors, for example changing Coding Scheme on the air interface (CS-2 has more transfer capacity than CS-1), allocating more radio resources (capacity on demand), reshuffling subscribers in the available PDCHs according to the MS multislot capabilities, delay of the subscriber according to the subscriber priority etc..

In the first phase of GPRS only “Best effort” will be supported. This means that the PCU main scheduler shall queue the MS’s requests without taking into consideration the QoS attributes. It will be matter of further design to decide which attributes, if any, have to be taken into account.

Channel CodingFour coding schemes, CS-1 to CS-4 are defined for GPRS packet data traffic channels. For BR5.5 and BR 6.0 only coding schemes CS-1 and CS-2 will be supported.(This is due to the fact, that the transport capacity on the used Abis interface is limited to 16 kbit/sec with the current network architecture).

Timeslot Combining

Timeslot Combining (Multislot Configuration) to support high data rates.

A GPRS-multislot configuration consists of multiple packet switched traffic channels together with associated control channels, allocated to the same MS.

The rules for PDTCH allocation in multislot configuration are:- same frequency hopping law (only Base Band Hopping)- same training sequence code- time slot number adjacent- maximum 7 timeslots allocated per mobile station

The firsts two rules have to be followed in configuration phase that means all TCH on BCCH carrier must have the same hopping law and the same training sequence code. In case of a cell supporting Base Band Hopping, if the BCCH TRX has the GSUP set to TRUE and one or more CCCH already been equipped in the cell the MOBALLOC list cannot contain the BCCH frequency.

The third law shall be followed dynamically for time slot selection. If from PCU comes a request for a new PDCH, it should be tried to allocate a new PDCH adjacent to the previous one.

In case of no free time slots adjacent to the busy one, and the adjacent time slots are in stable state of call and there is at least one free channel in the cell, a forced intracell handover shall be initiated in order to move the call camped in the adjacent time slot to another one.

In case a Circuit Switch call (MOC or MTC) is coming in the cell with no free channel, the BSC first tries to move incoming call to another cell with directed retry procedure.

If the directed retry fails a pre-emption of GPRS channel shall be started. The PCU chooses the channel to be returned to CS trying to keep active all TBF downgrading their throughput. In case the channel is requested for an Handover procedure and no channels are free the BSC first starts to allocate the MS in adjacent cell

101-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 102: GPRSp60v5

eventually reported in the condition for intercell Handover. If this procedure fails one channel allocated to GPRS is freed.

GPRS support on CCCH & PCCHWith the introduction of GPRS there were implemented new logical and physical channels on the Um interface. The functionality of this new packet oriented channels is similar to the ones of the GSM traffic.

The common control channel for GPRS are logically structured in the same way as the CCCHs for GSM. Therefore the GPRS Common Control Channel Signalling information can be realised via the existing CCCHs (as “shared” CCCHs) or via PCCCHs (see also chapter 3.1.1).

When no PCCCH is used, then some of the GPRS signalling (the channel request and channel activate acknowledge from BTS) will be supported by LAPD-channel! All other signalling will be done via PACCH which are transmitted within the PDCHs.

If PCCCH is used then signalling goes via PCCCH and PACCH.

As soon as the GPRS traffic exceeds a certain level it is recommended to allocate a PCCCH in order to keep the signalling traffic of non GPRS services low.

Discontinuous Reception (DRX)

For downlink packet transfer the delay of transmission of Paging Messages and Direct Assignments has significant influence on the packet delay and in particular on the radio access delay. The reason for that delay is the organisation of the paging channel in combination with DRX.For optimisation reasons the MS indicates to the network to which additional paging groups it listens, which allows an acceptable access delay and/or the acceptable battery consumption and/or the needed QoS of the application. So the BSS can shorten the waiting time for Paging messages according to the capabilities of the MS. The mechanism is defined for paging on PCCCH as well as on CCCH.An MS can choose to use DRX or not (this is indicated in the Classmark) and select a reduced sleep mode period indicated by the parameter SPLIT_PG_CYCLE during PDP context activation. All information is stored in the SGSN during GPRS MS has established a PDP context.

102-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 103: GPRSp60v5

DRX (Paging) on CCCH

The network internal message flow is following:

1. The SGSN, which has the knowledge about the usage of DRX, sends a paging message to all PCUs which are located in the right Routing Area. This message include a information whether DRX is used or not. And additionally if the enhanced DRX mechanism is used a parameter SPLIT_PG_CYCLE or another parameter which indicates that the existing DRX mechanism shall be supported by the network.

2. The PCU forwards the Packet Paging Request message combined with the requested paging parameters over the internal interface to the BSC.

3. The BSC calculates the right paging group and forwards per LAPD connection the Packet Paging Request messages to the paging queues inside the BTS. Additionally the BSC evaluates all needed DRX parameters, which have to be broadcasted on BCCH.

4. The BTS queues all Packet Paging Request messages and sends them in order first in first out on the PCHs in the CCCH multiframe.

DRX (Paging) on PCCCH

The network internal message flow is following:

1. The SGSN, which has the knowledge about the usage of DRX, sends a paging message to all PCUs which are located in the right Routing Area. This messages include a information whether DRX is used or not and additionally if the enhanced DRX mechanism is used a parameter SPLIT_PG_CYCLE.

2. The PCU calculates the right paging group and adds all Packet Paging Request messages on its paging group queues. Additionally the PCU evaluates all needed DRX parameters which have to be broadcasted on PBCCH.

3. The PCU includes the Packet Paging Request messages into RLC/MAC blocks and schedules the messages into the PDCH multiframes, which contains PCCCH. The RLC/MAC blocks are transferred via TRAU frames to the BTS, which transmits the Packet Request message immediately

Negotiation of the DRX parameters is per MS. The MS sends the DRX parameter information element to the network, in order to indicate whether the MS uses DRX or not. What the DRX parameter information element contains is described in (GSM04.08 chapter 10.5.5.6).

GPRS features BR6.0

Horizontal allocation

In BR 5.5 only the BCCH TRX were used for GPRS with the vertical allocation for the use of GPRS channels. This was done through multiplexing the maximum number of TBF per PDCH. The parameter GMANMSAL controlles this for uplink (UL=7) and downlink (DL=16)

The new feature ‘horizontal allocation’ changes this behaviour through the allocation strategy from vertical allocation (VA) to horizontal allocation (HA).The HA strategy is intented to distribute the incoming GPRS calls on all available PDCH of the specific TRX. Through this behaviour not too much slots are multiplexed on the same PDCH, which increases the transfer throughput for all the involved mobiles.

In BR 6.0 the BSC will autonomously switch between VA and HA (and vice versa)in relation to the percentage of idle channel in the cell.The aim is to use the HA when the cell is not much loaded.Also in VA the BSC tries to improve the allocation algorithm through distributing the mobiles over different radio channels (before BR 6.0 all mobiles would be multiplexed over the same TS). This is called then flat distribution.

The GMANPAL parameter is removed in BR 6.0. Two new attributes are introduced instead.The first parameter, GPDPDTCHA, indicates the percentage of available dynamical PDTCH channels (on TRX’s in service where GPRS is supported with GSUP=true). It is used to define the maximum number of dynamic GPRS channels.The second new parameter, GASTRTH (composed by two fields), is used to define the threshold from VA to HA (and vice versa).This attribute represents the minimum number of idle PDCH to activate HA (per cell). It has to be intended as a percentage of free PDCH referred to the number of available channels (TCH and PDCH), except the static assigned PDTCH, in the whole cell.When the threshold is reached the BSC switches its strategy from the vertical to horizontal allocation (and vice versa).The thresholdIdleChanHV field of the GASTRTH has to be lower than the thresholdIdleChanVH field.

Transfer on non BCCH TRX

In BR 5.5 it was only possible to use the BCCH TRX for GPRS. The need for a higher number of PDCH’s lead to a customer defined TRX planning for GPRS.This is realised with the new parameter GSUP (GPRS supported) of each of the TRX object. It enables/disables the GPRS service on the TRX.

Appendix A

The Gb interface may be realised as a:1. A direct line.2. Through FR network.3. Nailed Up Connection through MSC via FR network. 4. NUC through MSC.

The PCM30 (or PCM24) links, supported by the line interface cards of the BSC are the bearer of the FR links. There are only two options to establish a FR link in the BSS database:1. via PCMA (i.e. via MSC). 2. via PCMG (i.e. direct connection).

In the BSS database the Gb interface is created in the same way whether there is a direct line or intermediate transmission network (FR network) between the BSC PCU and SGSN. Both realisations are identical from the BSC PCU point of view. Other configurations must be realised by the transmission network (no concern of BSC PCU).

Typical commands of a GPRS database are as follows:

CML:BSCApplication Guidelines:1. If the channel type is MAINBCCH, MBCCHC, BCBCH, CCCH, SCBCH or SDCCH(i.e. control channels) then no time slots must be allocated on the pcmb line. As aconsequence, the terrTraffChannel parameter must be skipped by the operator.2. If the channel type is MAINBCCH, BCBCH or MBCCHC, then rtsln must be 0.3. If the channel type is MAINBCCH, BCBCH, MBCCHC or CCCH then the trx thechannel belongs to must be the broadcast one.4. If the channel type is MBCCHC or BCBCH, then the parameter NBLKACGR(noOfBlocksForAccessGrant), which indicates the number of TDMA framesreserved for the Access Grant channel during a period of 51 TDMA frames, must belower than 2; the NBLKACGR parameter is set by the SET BTS command and itsdefault value is "0".5. If the channel type is MAINBCCH, MBCCHC, BCBCH, CCH, SCBCH or SDCCH,then the attribute TSC must be equal to the BCC attribute (see BTS object).6. The channel CCCH cannot be created if the MBCCHC or BCBCH have already beenconfigured.The first CCCH channel must be created on rtsln = 2;the second CCCH channel must be created on rtsln = 4;the third CCCH channel must be created on rtsln = 6.7. The tsln and ssln set by the TERTCH (pcmbn-tsln-ssln) parameter must not bealready allocated.8. After the creation of the CHAN object, the ADMINISTRATIVE state of this object isset at LOCKED. An UNLOCK command is required to put this object in service.

155-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 156: GPRSp60v5

9. Only BSC with SN16 network and QTLP cards can support TCHF&HLF channel.10. Only one BCBCH or SCBCH can be created in a BTS.11. If FHSY is either equal to 0 or SKIPPED then MAIO is SKIPPED. If FHSY>0 thenMAIO is NOT SKIPPED.12. If the channel type is MAINBCCH, MBCCHC, BCBCH, CCCH then the FHSYIDmust be equal to 0.13. The number of channels, with the same time slot number, pointing to the sameFHSY instance can not be greater than the number of frequencies in the mobile allocationof the frequency hopping law.14. CHAN instances, with the same time slot number, pointing to the same FHSYinstance must have different values for MAIO attribute.HSCSD_TSC_INCONSISTENTMake reference to Application Guideline n. 35.GPRS_TSC_INCONSISTENTAll the traffic channels subordinate to a TRX with GSUP set atTRUE must have the same TSC.GPRS_HOPP_INCONSISTENTIf the TRX has the GSUP set at TRUE single TCHs must havethe same FHSYID and MAIO, and if one or more CCCHs havealready been equipped the channels cannot hop (i.e. FHSYDattribute must be 0).INVALID_COMMANDOnly one PBCCH can be allocated.A PBCCH can be allocated only if the PBCCH is alreadyequipped.

15. The value for MAIO attribute must be less than the number of frequencies in themobile allocation of the FHSY instance used.16. CHAN instances, with the same time slot number, can not point to different FHSYinstances if the two FHSY instances use the same frequencies.17. It is not possible to have one CHAN instance with FHSYID=0 and another CHANinstance, with the same time slot number, pointing to a FHSY instance, if the carrierfrequency of superordinate TRX of the first channel is included in the mobileallocation of FHSY instance pointed by the second.18. The SCBCH channel can be equipped only on time slots 1, 2, 3 of the BCCH-TRX.19. If the channel type is SCBCH then the parameter NBLKACGR (noOfBlocksForAccessGrantattribute, set by the SET BTS command) must not be equal to 0.20. When the frequency band of the BTS is EXT900 the channel can use only theFrequency Hopping sequence in the same band (base or extended) of thesuperordinate TRX.21. The creation of a CHAN causes a temporary loss of service for the whole TRXbecause of a reset of the associated BBSIG. It is suggested to shutdown the TRXbefore creating one or more channels to avoid that calls are dropped.22. Creation of TCHF&HLF channels must be compatible with the type of hardwareused for TRAU equipment. Only TRAC V3 boards can handle half rate channelscoding-decoding feature.23. The tsln set by the TERTCH (pcmbn-tsln-ssln) parameter is not compatible with thePCM line type attribute (parameter PCMTYPE of BSC object).24. No more than other three channels containing SDCCH subchannels (i.e. MAINBCCHCOMBINED,BCBCH, SCBCH, SDCCH) must belong to the same transceiver.25. If any channel containing SDCCH subchannels is equipped on a BTS, then at leastone of them must be on the BCCH-TRX.26. In case of concentric cell the SDCCH channels cannot be created on TRXs withtrxArea parameter set at INNER.27. In case of concentric cell and base band hopping selected, the attribute FHSYID ofa channel subordinated of a INNER TRX cannot be set with the frequency hoppingsystem that use frequencies of complete area (and viceversa).

156-186 Mr.M.Kaufmann

Page 157: GPRSp60v5

28. If cellType attribute values EXTCELL all the control and signalling channels musthave EXTMODE=TRUE.If cellType attribute is different from EXTCELL the EXTMODE attribute cannot be setat TRUE.29. The radio timeslot number (rtsln) of an extended channel must be an even one.30. The timeslot following an extended channel must be not equipped.31. The extended channels use two consecutive timeslots: therefore, in case ofextended cell, all the previous Application Guidelines regarding frequency hoppingconsistency apply also to the timeslot following the channel timeslot.32. The creation of a SCBCH on a TRX different from BCCH-TRX is allowed only if theCELLTYPE attribute of the BTS object is set at EXTCELL and at least one CCCHand one SDCCH have already been configured.33.
