Optimization Steps
Ø Site’s pre-testn This is prior to site turn-on and includes checking
design predictions, parameter settings, physicalconnections, antenna configurations, drive test routeselections, etc.
Ø Site’s functional testn After the pre-test has been completed and the site
has been turned on, the site is tested to verify that itis functioning properly. This includes checkingtransmitted power, basic call processing, test mobileperformance, etc.

Optimization Steps (cont.)
Ø Cluster optimizationn Optimization undertaken at this early stage is coarse
and typically focuses on interference reduction,coverage verification, and handoff performance.
n Adjustments may not only be required to the switchparameters, but also to RF site configurations such asantenna orientations and downtilts.
n Optimization procedures can be performed ondifferent clusters in parallel, as clusters becomeready.
n Experience gained at this stage will be fed back intothe design specification and RF engineering process inorder to design more effective sites later in theprocess.

Optimization Steps (cont.)
Ø System optimizationn Testing is performed on the adjacent clusters as a
system, with new clusters being added after theyhave passed cluster optimization. In this manner, thewhole network is built up piece-by-piece.
n Optimization undertaken at this stage is verydetailed, and fine parameter adjustments are made totruly maximize network performance.
n As more clusters pass system optimization, moreusers can be added and given access to the newareas.
n Eventually, the complete network will be active andoptimized with users placing calls throughout. Thenetwork is then ready for launch.

Access/Mobility management (cont.)
Ø Parameter: baseStationIdentityCode - “BSIC”:
BSIC = NCC (0…7, fixed for every PLMN) + BCC (0…7,BTS color code)n In the same area, Cells with same BCCH frequencies should
have different BSIC. BSIC is used to separate co-channels usedin different BTS. In other word, if cells A and B have identicalBCCH and BSIC, a NBR cell to A or B can confuse the two cells ifA and B are not isolated from a propagation perspective.
n In order to identify NBR cells, MS decodes BSIC and includes theinfo together with the BCCH frequency in the measurementreport.

PLMN Selection
Ø An operational network in GSM is called PLMN (Public Land MobileNetwork).
Ø A GSM customer has a subscription relationship with a single PLMN.This specific PLMN is called home PLMN of the subscriber.
Ø The home PLMN is set as the PLMN to try at the switch on.
Ø A change of PLMN can occur only when the user decides so, orwhen the MS finds out that the serving PLMN can no longer providenormal service (because the MS is leaving the PLMN coverage area).
Ø In those cases the MS will search for cells in the whole spectrum, tofind which PLMNs cover the location.

PLMN Selection (cont.)
Ø The PLMN selection is done in either manualmode or automatic mode.n The automatic mode is based on the existence of
preferred PLMN list which is stored in the SIM. ThePLMNs are tried starting with:èHome PLMNèEach PLMN that has been stored in SIM in priority orderèOther PLMNs with received signal strength above –85dBm.
n In manual mode the list of PLMNs the MS has foundas potential candidates for providing normal service ispresented to the user.

Radio Link Measurements
Ø In GSM, the MS uses the BS Identity Code (BSIC) todistinguish between neighboring BSs.
Ø The measured signal level value (RXLEV) and signalquality level value (RXQUAL) parameters are used forthe purpose of inter-cell and intra-cell Handovers.
Ø Inter-cell Handover from the serving cell to a neighborcell occurs when RXLEV and/or RXQUAL is low in theserving cell and better in the neighbor cell.
Ø Intra-cell Handover from one channel/time slot toanother channel/time slot in the same cell occurs whenRXLEV is high but RXQUAL is low.

Radio Link Measurements (cont.)
Ø The MS monitors the signal strength of neighbor BSs andmaintains a list of six strongest non-serving BSs. A newBS is selected from the list if:n The path loss criterion for the serving BS is not met for 5
seconds.n The signaling link with the serving BS fails.n The serving BS becomes barred.n Non-serving cell access signal is greater than that of the serving
BS for 5 seconds, and by at least theCELL_RESELECT_HYSTERSIS value in dB.

Measurement Processing
èMS sends the measurements of the 6 NBR cells to the BTSevery SACCH period (480 msec). BTS pre-process the dataand forwards it to the BSC. Final processing is done at theBSC.
èBTS averages UL&DL measurement over 1, 2, 3 or 4 SACCHperiod set by parameter btsMeasAver(1…4 SACCH).
èAveraging and sampling of measurements in the BSC iscontrolled by parametersho/pcAveragingLev/QualDL/UL. The parameters havewindowSize(1…32 SACCH) and weighting(1…3) asarguments. These parameters determine how samples areaveraged and weighted due to DTX.
èmsDistanceAveragingParam(1…32 SACCH) is theaveraging parameter used to trigger HO due to distance.
èAveraging is done every SACCH period by using a slidingaveraging window.

Ø There are two types of Handover in GSM
n Internal handover
n External handover
Ø The handover is internal if the serving and target BTSsare located within the same BSS. In this case the BSCcan perform handover without the MSC involvement.This is also called intra-BSS handover.n Handover decisions are made by the Radio Resource
Management (RRM) in the BSC.
Ø The handover is external if the serving and target BTSsdo not reside in the same BSS. In this case the MSCperforms the switching task between two BTSs.n External handover can be classified as intra-MSC or inter-MSC
handovers.

Ø There are three main categories of Handover:
n Radio Resource Handover
n Imperative Handover
n Traffic Handover
Ø Handover is considered Radio Resource if it relates to:
n The Level, where the signal level is below the Handoverthreshold level
n The Quality, where the signal quality is below the Handoverthreshold quality
n The Interference, where the interference level is above theHandover threshold interference level

Ø Handover threshold level, Handover threshold qualityand Handover threshold interference are three definedparameters for both uplink and downlink.
Ø Power Budget Handover:n Ensures that the MS is always handed over to the cell with the
minimum path loss.n BSC evaluates neighboring cells’ radio link properties, in regular
time intervals, to find a target cell.n Is only performed between cells of the same category, e.g.,
Micro to Micro.

n Can be enabled/disabled
n Is executed in regular time intervals
n Considers MS’s power class, and some other defined parameters,in choosing the neighboring cells as Handover target cells, e.g.,Macro cells for vehicular and portable MSs and Micro cells forhandheld MSs.
n Fast moving MSs are handled by Umbrella Handover withinMacro cells. If MS is moving slowly, a Handover to lower layers,i.e. Micro cell, is triggered.
Ø Umbrella Handover has priority over Power BudgetHandover.

(0…100%)Ø BSC decrease priority of overloaded cells, specified by parameter
hoLevPriority(0…7), by another paramater hoLoadFactor(0…7).Ø After load check, priority comparison between candidates is made.
Candidate with highest priority is selected as target cell. For equalpriority cells, selection is based on best signal strength.
Ø Minimum interval between HO requests related to the sameconnection is set by parameter MinIntBetweenHoReq (0…31s)
Ø Minimum time MS must wait after HO failure before new attempt tothe same connection is set by parameterMinIntBetweenUnsuccHoAttempt (0…31s)

PC scheme is controlled by BSC
Ø The PC scheme is controlled by the BSC which,compares MS and BTS measurements with relevant PCthresholds and calculates the power level increase ordecrease and communicates it to both MS and BTS.
Ø Power level can be changed on a variable or fixed stepsof 2, 4 or 6 dB increments every 60 ms. If two fixedsteps were not enough to reach the target level, thevariable step size is used.
Ø Power control can be enabled/disabled on a cell by cellbasis by parameter PowerCtrlEnabled (Y/N).

Transmission powers (Parameters)
Ø Max and Min MS transmission powers are defined on a cell bycell basis (serving cell) and are determined by parametersmsTxPwrMax and msTxPwrMin (33dBm, step sizes of2dB).
MS typical range for GSM1900 is 0 ~ 30dBm.Ø Maximum and Minimum transmission power of the BTS are
determined by BsTxPwrMax and BxTxPwrMin.Ø The BTS attenuation factor is 0 to 30 dB from maximum
transmitter power with step sizes of 2dB.Ø BTS PC is enabled with PowreCtrlEnabled(Y/N)Ø Timer PowerControlInterval(0…31s) defines the minimum
interval between the changes in the RF power level. It is usedto prevent unnecessary repetitive PC changes in the BTS/MS.

Ø The Power Control algorithm is closely coupled with theHandover algorithm.
Ø The BSC will try to increase the power level of the MS asit moves farther away from the BTS. After it makes adetermination that the quality of the communication linkcan no longer be improved by increasing MS’s transmitpower, it starts the Handover process.
Ø Handover has always priority over Power Control.

Discontinuous Transmission (DTX)
Ø The DTX aims at increasing the system efficiency through adecrease of the interference level, by inhibiting the transmission ofthe radio signal when not required.
Ø If the transmitter is silent during the speech pauses, the powerconsumption in the MS is decreased as well as the amount ofemitted radio power.
Ø When DTX uplink and downlink is used, there is an improvement ofthe C/I in the system. This improvement can be utilized for a tightercell planning, especially when frequency hopping is used. It will alsosave battery life in the MS.
Ø DTX is not used on a BCCH carrier.

DTX (cont.)
Ø In a speech connection, the Voice Activity Detector in thetranscoder or MS detects whether a traffic frame consists of speechor of background noise.
Ø If a frame consists of only noise, the transmitter sends one SilenceDescriptor (SID) frame, and then the transmission is stopped. Afterthat, one new SID frame is sent each SACCH period, until speech isdetected again.
Ø The active speech flow is of one frame of 260 bits each 20 ms,while the inactive speech flow is of one such frame each 480 ms.

DTX (cont.)
Ø DTX mode may slightly deteriorate the quality oftransmission, in particular when used twice along a path,mobile to mobile call. So it can be activated on a call percall basis by the network.
Ø Used in conjunction with frequency hopping, DTX cangive an improvement of approximately 3dB in the C/I forthe TCH channels.
Ø The recommended setting for DTXU and DTXD are asfollows:
Parameter Default value Recommended Value
DTXU 2 1
DTXD OFF ON
DTXU is the uplink parameter and states whether the MS shall (DTXU=1) or shallnot (DTXU=2) use DTX. With DTXU=0 the MS may use DTX which means thatMSs in battery saving mode shall use DTX.

Frequency Hopping
Ø FH is used in GSM to improve the system’s performanceand quality in the multipath fading environment and toreduce the required S/N ratio.
Ø GSM uses Slow FH in which the hopping rate is less thanthe message bit rate.n In GSM the operating frequency is changed only with every
TDMA frame.n The hopping rate is 216.7 hops per second which corresponds to
a frame duration of 4.615 sec.
Ø The mobile transmits at different frequencies fordifferent time slots. A frequency synthesizer is used tochange and settle on a new frequency within a fractionof one time slot (577 µ s).

Frequency Hopping (cont.)
Ø FH provides frequency diversity to overcome Rayleighfading which may cause fades of 40 to 50 dB deep onthe received signal.
Ø FH also provides interference diversity (interferenceaveraged over multiple users).
Ø FH reduces the S/N ratio required for an acceptable QoS,from 12 dB for a non-hopping radio link to 9 dB(approx.), improving the overall network’s capacity.
Ø Different hopping algorithms can be assigned to the MSn Cyclic Hoppingn Random Hopping

Frequency Hopping (cont.)
Ø In the Mobile Station, in FH mode, only three time slotsare available to transmit, receive and monitor while in theBTS all eight time slots are capable of transmitting andreceiving to support eight MSs in one frame.
Ø The Broadcast Channels (BCH) comprising of FCCH, SCHand BCCH are not allowed to hop. All dedicated channeltypes can hop (TCH/SDCCH/FACCH/SACCH).
Ø Two different implementation schemes of SFH are used inBSs which are base-band hopping and RF hopping.
Ø Hybrid hopping is a combination and compromise of thetwo implementation schemes.

Base-band Hopping
Ø Each transmitter is assigned with a fixed frequency. Attransmission, all bursts, irrespective of which connection,are routed to the appropriate transmitter of the properfrequency. The mobile is hopped around the transmittersand receivers.
Ø The advantage with this mode is that narrow-band lowloss filter combiners can be used.

RF Hopping
Ø One transmitter handles all bursts that belong to a specificconnection. In contrast to base-band hopping, the transmitter tunesto the correct frequency at the transmission of each burst.
Ø The advantage of this mode is that the number of frequencies thatcan be used for hopping is not dependent on the number oftransmitters. It is possible to hop over a lot of frequencies.
Ø The disadvantage with synthesizer hopping is that wide-band hybridcombiners have to be used. This type of combiner has approximately3dB loss making more than two combiners in cascade impractical.

Non BCCH TRXs are hopping over the MA-list (f1,f2,f3).
RF hopping in 2-TRX cell. The BCCH TRX cannot hop because the BCCHfrequency must be continuously transmitted in a cell.Other TRXs will physically change frequency along a specified MAL.

Hopping Algorithms
Ø Cyclic frequency hopping: the frequencies are changed,once every TDMA frame, in a consecutive order (e.g.…,f1,f2,f3,f4,f1,f2,f3,f4,…).
Ø Random frequency hopping: a random hopping sequenceis implemented as a pseudo-random sequence. 63independent sequences are defined. Hopping SequenceNumber (HSN) will specify which of the 63 sequences tobe used (e.g. …,f1,f4,f4,f3,f1,f2,f4,f1,…).n The random hopping mode is superior for averaging the co-
channel interference. Random hopping is the hopping mode ofchoice for high capacity networks.

Hopping Algorithms (cont.)
Ø Orthogonal hopping sequence: for each transceiver, inthe same channel group, in the same cell, they will beassigned with the same HSN, i.e. they hop in the sameway.n In order not to interfere with each other, they must not use the
same frequency at the same time.n The problem is solved by using an offset in the hopping
sequence, referred to as Mobile Allocation Index Offset (MAIO).Two transceivers bearing the same HSN but different MAIO willnever use the same frequency in the same TDMA frame
(e.g., …,f1,f4,f4,f3,f1,f2,f4,f1 ,… …,f2,f1,f1,f4,f2,f3,f1,f2,… …,f3,f2,f2,f1,f3,f4,f2,f3,… …,f4,f3,f3,f2,f4,f1,f3,f4,…).

Channel Borrowing Techniques
Ø Dynamic Channel Allocation (DCA)n In DCA a central pool of channels is used. A channel is
borrowed from the pool by a BS for use on a call andreturned to the pool when the call is completed. All BSshave access to the whole channel set.
n The basic DCA has a self-organizing channel assignmentalgorithm based on dynamic real-time measurements ofinterference levels.
n These measurements are usually performed at the MS inorder to reduce the computational load and the complexityof the system.
n Several variation of DCA have been proposed and some ofthem have been implemented. Adaptive Channel Allocation(ACA) significantly increases the capacity of a TDMAsystem as compared to the traditional Fixed ChannelAssignment (FCA).

Channel Borrowing Techniques
Ø Hybrid Channel Assignment (HCA)n In HCA, some channels are permanently assigned to each
BS, as in FCA, and others are kept in a central pool forborrowing as in DCA.
n Channel Locking is used to prevent an increase in co-channel interference. It means that BSs within therequired minimum channel reuse distance from a BS thatborrows a channel can not use the same channel.
n Channel locking has some disadvantages including thelimit on the number of available channels to borrow andsystem complexity.
n Another disadvantage is the difficulty in maintaining co-channel reuse distance at the minimum required valueeverywhere in the system.

Channel Borrowing Techniques
Ø Channel Borrowing Without Locking (CBWL)n In CBWL, each BS is allocated channels as in FCA. If all
channels of the BS are occupied and a new call arrives,channel borrowing is used.
n The borrowed channel cannot be used by the originallending BS but can still be used in any nearby co-channelBSs.
n In CBWL, only a fraction of the total channels of thesystem need to be accessible to each BS.
n The CBWL can be employed in existing cellular systemswithout additional infrastructure cost.
n Unlike cell splitting, CBWL does not require new BSs andadditional antenna towers to increase system capacity.
n Simulations show that CBWL provides better channelutilization than a conventional system with FCA, DCA orHCA.

Smart Antennas
Ø Another way to reduce interference is to use a smart orintelligent antenna.
Ø A smart or intelligent antenna refers to a group of coreRF technologies that control directional antenna arraysby means of sophisticated Digital Signal Processing(DSP) algorithms.
Ø Smart antennas belong to two basic classes:n Switched beam in which the antenna combines signals according
to a fixed number of beam patterns.n Adaptive in which the antenna picks out the desired signal amid
a field of interfering signal/thermal noise and self-regulates itsperformance to satisfy some pre-assigned criteria.
Ø In TDMA based systems, the use of adaptive antennaswould be considerably beneficial to coverage, capacity,signal quality and the portable terminal transmit power.

Queuing and Radio Resources
Ø Purposen To avoid rejecting call set-up or handover attempt by waiting
for the release of a suitable traffic channel
Ø Queuing Environmentn Queuing is a BTS specific procedure (controlled by the BSC)
n Each BTS has a queue of its own
n Individual queue parameters and queue management for eachBTS
n Only traffic channels are queued
n Call attempts and Handovers are in the same queue
n The maximum queue length is relative to the number of trafficchannels

Queuing and Radio Resources
n The maximum queuing time can be set individually for bothqueue types
n Different priorities according to queue type (Call/Ho) and/or MSpriority
Ø Prioritization: The placement in the queue is determinedby:n Queue Type (Priority)n Call Setupn Handover attempt (non-urgent)n Urgent Handover Attemptn MS Priority Level

Queuing Management
Ø A Queuer is removed from the queue when:
n No suitable channel is released within queuing time limit => timer expires
n Higher priority subscriber (queue type and/or MS priority replaces a queuer when the queue is full
n The queuing TRX/TSL is blocked (call release)
n Queue size is reduced due to removing TRX’s

Queuing and Handover
Ø Internal inter-cell Handovern Ranked list is produced by the Handover algorithm and passed
to RR managementn Maximum sixteen cells as alternative target cellsn The best candidate with free traffic channel is selectedn If all BTSs in the list are congested
èqueuing possibility is checked in the candidates according toranking
Ø External inter-cell Handovern The BTS identified by the MSC in a HANDOVER_REQUEST
message is used as queuing target
- Averaging and processing for HO continues during queuing- The timers for hoPeriodPBGT or for hoPeriodUmbrella are
stopped during queuing
