1.7 Introduction

The present document explains the Cell Design Data (CDD) that must beprovided for each cell in an Ericsson GSM system. This data is loaded in thecorresponding BSC by means of a Data Transcript file.

When a new Ericsson GSM system is built or when new cells are added orchanged in an existing Ericsson GSM system, the cell planner provides theoperator with a document for each cell containing data for the insertion of thecell in the radio network. The data from all such documents is then convertedinto a data transcript tape and loaded into the corresponding BSC.

A data transcript media contains not only CDD information but also other dataneeded for the complete configuration of the BSC and its BTSs. A descriptionof such information is out of the scope of this document.

In addition to the above-mentioned BSC cell parameters, some of the radiorelated MSC parameters and exchange properties are included in thisdocument. These parameters are included in order to present a more completepicture of the parameters that influence the design and evaluation of a radionetwork.

Note: The MSC parameters are only defined for Ericsson Mobile ServicesSwitching Centres. These parameters may have another name or maynot exist at all in MSCs manufactured by others than Ericsson.

This document gives references to GSM Recommendations.

This document provides short descriptions of Ericsson's GSM systemparameters. For a full understanding of each of them, it is essential to study thedescription of each particular feature.

Note: The availability of a feature could depend on commercial agreements.Due to this it is possible that certain parameters are not supportedby an exchange.

The topics where GSM 800, GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 differ areindicated.

This document assumes that the reader is acquainted with the channel structurefor GSM 800, GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900, the TDMA concept andthe locating algorithm for Ericsson's GSM systems.

General Information

1.8 CDD Structure

The parameters in this document are organized according to radio networkfeatures. The aim with this structure is to facilitate a more feature oriented cellplanning and network optimization.

In each radio network feature section, the parameters are grouped intosub-sections defined by the network entity where the parameter is defined. thisis described more elaborately in Section 1.7 on page 6.

The CDD is also arranged in a structure that corresponds to the subcellstructure shown in Figure 1. Therefore some parameters appear in more thanone part of the CDD.

Figure 1 The Subcell Structure Supported by Ericsson's GSM System

A subcell is a set of channels that share some specific characteristics. Anoverlaid subcell serves a smaller part of the area of an underlaid subcell.

A cell always has an underlaid (UL) subcell, whereas the overlaid (OL) subcellis optional. A subcell structure exists when there is an overlaid subcell defined.The notation “cell/subcell data” (see Section 1.9 on page 7) is used in order toclarify that these parameters may be defined per subcell.

Each subcell is divided into channel groups, which include a subset of thefrequencies defined for a cell. A channel group can not be shared betweendifferent subcells. Same frequency can be defined in two channel groups withinthe cell but it must not be used at the same time.

1.9 Conventions

In this section, rules and conventions for the parameter section in the CDDdocument are issued.

18 320/1553-HSC 103 12 Uen J | 2012-03-05

Cell Data

BSIC is defined on a per cell basis and it is sent onthe logical synchronisation channel (SCH) on theBCCH frequency.

Reference [4], Annex A, assigns one NCC value "n"to each European country "to ensure that the sameNCC is not used in the adjacent PLMNs". A secondoperator in a given country would use the NCC value"n+4".

When an MS reports the results of the measurementsmade on the serving cell and the neighbouring cells,it indicates (Reference [8], section 10.5.2.20):

The measured signal levels on the serving cell.

The measured levels, the BSIC and the BCCHfrequency of the neighbouring cells.

Only measurements from cells with allowed NCC arereported (see parameter NCCPERM, Page 53).

The colour code NCC is then used to discriminatecells that use the same frequency. Though mainlyintended for the purpose of differentiating PLMNs, italso serves to distinguish cells within one PLMN thatuse the same frequency provided they have beenassigned different NCC. If there are two operators ina country, they can use more than two PLMN colourcodes each one, provided that in border areas onlythe values "n" and "n+4" are used.

What is stated here should be considered as generalguidelines. Of course any type of NCC assignmentmust be decided by agreements between operatorsand countries.

Regarding the protection against co-channelinterference, the MS reports the BCC value sothat the BSC can distinguish among differentcells transmitting on the same frequency. For thispurpose the BCC must be allocated as wisely aspossible. If frequency reuse clusters are used thenit is recommended that all BTSs in a given clusteruse the same BCC. In this way the reuse distanceof a certain BCC can be maximised according to thefrequency reuse distance.(1)

(1) Only 8 different values (BCC: 0 to 7) are used for the purpose of recognizing co-channelinterference.

Cell Data

Comments: Number of reserved access grantblocks.

Number of CCCH blocks reservedfor the access grant channel. Theremaining CCCH blocks are used forthe paging channel.

In each downlink non-combinedSDCCH 51 frames multiframe thereare 9 different CCCH blocks and in thecombined BCCH/SDCCH there are 3different blocks. They can be used to:

• Send paging messages, that is usedas a Paging Channel.

• Send access granted messages, thatis used as an Access Grant Channel.

After an MS tunes to the BCCH/CCCHchannel and decodes the SystemInformation, it performs an evaluationthat, taking into account the MS'sown IMSI (International Mobile StationIdentity) number, determines to whichparticular CCCH block in the physicalchannel it should listen (Reference[9]). Every CCCH in the physicalchannel (Paging Subchannel) sendspaging messages to a certain group ofMSs that are called its paging group.The reason for the existence of suchpaging groups is that the MSs cansave batteries because it only needsto listen to its own Paging Subchannelmessages.

The physical channel (PagingSubchannel) sends paging messagesto a certain group of MSs. Asmentioned before these very sameCCCH blocks are also used to sendAccess Grant messages to the MSs,that is to answer a Random Accessmessage that an MS wanting to accessthe system has sent to the system,and to send notifications on the NCH.

The structure of the BCCH regardingPaging messages and Access Grantmessages can be controlled by thetwo parameters AGBLK and MFRMS.

User Description, Radio Network Parameters and Cell Design Data for Ericsson's GSM Systems

AGBLK tells how many of the CCCHblocks that should be reserved forthe Access Grant messages andNCH information. In Ericsson's GSMsystem, Access Grant messages aregiven priority over Paging messages.Together with MFRMS, AGBLKindicates how many paging groupsthere will be.

With a non-combined BCCH andAGBLK = 1, there are 8 CCCH blocksin each multiframe. This means that itis possible to have 16 to 72 differentPaging Subchannels, that is PagingGroups. (Since MFRMS can takevalues between 2 and 9.)

With a combined BCCH/SDCCH andAGBLK = 1, there are 2 CCCH blocksin each multiframe. In this case itis possible to have 4 to 18 differentPaging Groups.(1)

(1) AGBLK must not be 0 when SI 7 and 8 have to be sent, when short message service cellbroadcast (SMSCB) is in use on a cell not using combined BCCH and SDCCH/4 (GSM05.02) orwhen Voice Group Call Service is used in the cell.

Cell Data

Comments: Multiframes period. Defines period oftransmission for PAGING REQUESTmessages to the same pagingsubgroup.

Together with AGBLK, MFRMSdetermines the number of paginggroups.

MFRMS is also used by the MS todetermine downlink signalling failurein idle mode (Reference [10]). Thedownlink signalling failure criterion isbased on the downlink signalling failurecounter DSC. When the MS campson a cell, DSC shall be initialised toa value equal to the nearest integerto 90/N where N is the MFRMSparameter for that cell. Thereafter,whenever the MS attempts to decodea message in its paging subchannel;if a message is successfully decodedDSC is increased by 1, (howevernever beyond the nearest integer to90/N), otherwise DSC is decreased by4. When DSC reaches 0, a downlinksignalling failure shall be declared. Adownlink signalling failure shall resultin cell reselection.

MFRMS is also used by the MS tocontrol monitoring of received BCCHcarrier level (Reference [10]). Whilstin idle mode an MS shall continue tomonitor all BCCH carriers as indicatedin the BCCH allocation list (BA list). Arunning average of received level inthe preceding 5 to

110 less than –110dBm

(level 0)

In Ericsson's GSM system, the MS power can be controlledby the parameter CCHPWR, which indicates the maximumtransmitter power that the MS is allowed to use whenperforming an access to the system (Reference [7]).

Whilst in idle mode, the MS continuously confirms that ithas chosen the most appropriate cell by calculating thequantity C1 from the received signal level rxlev:

C1 = (rxlev —ACCMIN) —max (CCHPWR —P, 0)

The MS camps on the cell providing the highest positive C1.

The condition states that an MS must measure signalstrength higher than ACCMIN from a cell to be able toaccess the system via this cell.

In addition, if the MS maximum possible output power,P, is lower than CCHPWR then the requirement on thesignal strength increases by the difference between Pand CCHPWR. This means that if the MS cannot reachthe maximum output power then the requirement on thesignal strength in the downlink is harder. In this case, themeasured cell is probably not designed for MSs of thatclass.

A low value of ACCMIN means that the coverage in idlemode is improved at the expense of the risk of having anincreased number of call set-up failures.

Defines an offset to encourage or discourage MSs toselect the cell while it is camping on another cell, thatis perform a cell reselection.

0 0 dB

1 2 dB

...

63 126 dB

In order to optimise cell reselection, the additionalcell reselection parameters CRO, TO, and PT arebroadcast on the BCCH of each cell. The cellreselection process employs a quantity C2 for GSMphase 2 MSs, which depends on these parameters(Reference [7]). GSM phase 1 MSs use the quantityC1 for cell reselection instead, that is these mobilesdo not experience an offset.

The reselection quantity C2 is defined as:

C2 = C1 + CRO — TO *H(PT —T)

for PT ≠ 31

C2 = C1 —CRO for PT = 31

where

H(x) = 0 for x < 0

62 320/1553-HSC 103 12 Uen J | 2012-03-05

Cell Data

= 1 for x ≥ 0

T is the timer, started from zero at the point at whichthe cell was placed by the MS on the list of strongestcarriers. T is reset to zero whenever the cell is nolonger on the list of strongest carriers. This will tendto prevent fast moving MSs from selecting the cell(Reference [7]).

The quantity C1 is given in the description ofparameter ACCMIN (see Page 51).

CRO applies an offset to the C2 reselection criterionfor the cell.

TO applies a negative offset to C2 for the duration ofPT after the timer has started for the cell.

PT is the duration for which TO applies. The value 31of the PT parameter is reserved to change the sign ofCRO and the value of TO is ignored as indicated bythe equation defining C2.

These parameters are used to ensure that the MS iscamped on the cell with which it has the probabilityof successful communication on uplink and downlink(Reference [10]).(1)

(1) The setting of this parameter only affects GSM phase 2 MSs.

3.4.8 Filter Control - Cell Data

The measurement results are sent from the BTS to the BSC every SACCHperiod (480 ms) starting when the MS is assigned an SDCCH. Themeasurement results are stored and filtered in the BSC. The signal strengthand quality measurements are filtered in order to smooth out measurementnoise. In addition, some fading components of a duration of about the same asthe filter response time, are filtered out.

When filtering measurements for a cell, always the filters that are assignedto the cell are used. This means that serving cell and neighbouring cellmeasurements can be evaluated by different filters, if different filters areassigned to the different cells.

The locating filters are numbered from 1 to 9, and correspond to different filtertypes:

1–5 General FIR filters.

6 Straight average filter.

7 Exponential filter.

8 First order Butterworth filter.

9 Median filter.

Note: For a multislot configuration, only the main channel is evaluated. Thereported downlink quality measurement on the main channel is theworst quality measured among all the uni-directional channels and themain channel.

Comments: Handover penalty support.

The parameter EXTPEN shall be usedfor external neighbouring cells, anddefines whether the penalty can bereceived by that cell (that is the BSCcontrolling that cell). It tells whetherthe target BSC (and MSC) supportsthe penalty handling or not. Thevalue OFF activates an inter-BSChandling at urgency handover thatallows urgency handover to a cellin another BSC only if the mobile iswithin a distance radio wise of KHYSTor LHYST (Ericsson 1) or HIHYSTor LOHYST (Ericsson 3) from theaverage cell border, that is withouthysteresis.

The value ON activates the penaltyhandling that consists of sending ahandover cause value to the targetBSC.

The cause value is interpreted by thetarget BSC as “urgency handover”.Both TA urgency as well as bad qualityurgency can be recognised. Thetarget BSC carries out the punishmentof the cell in the old BSC that wasabandoned. However, it uses thepenalty parameter value and penaltytime of the new cell.(1)

(1) EXTPEN should be set to OFF if the external neighbouring cell belongs to a BSC fromanother vendor.

Cell Data

LOW The cell is a cell whereradio transmission qualitycan be expected todeteriorate rapidly.

The load of the TRH RPcan be automaticallyregulated by reducing the rate of locatingcalculations for the MSs in the cells that are leastlikely to perform a handover or to be subject todisconnection.

In the case of regulation the calculations areperformed for every second measurement resultarrival (approximately once per second). All arrivedmeasurement results are taken into account in thetime evaluation of measurements.

The parameter CELLQ is used to define whethera cell is suitable for regulation or not. If CELLQtakes the value HIGH then the regulation can beperformed, that is it is assumed that there is no riskfor an increasing number of dropped calls if the rateof locating calculations is reduced. If CELLQ takesthe value LOW then the regulation is not allowed.

The BTS power level can be dynamically controlled during a connection. Thepower control strategy is towards a desired signal strength value received inthe MS.

The BSC calculates the new BTS power level by using the data measured bythe MS, that is the signal strength and the quality on the downlink TCH carriersand the parameters described below. A compensation is performed in the caseof frequency hopping, which takes into consideration that bursts received andmeasured by the MS may have been transmitted at different power levels. Thepower level on channels at the BCCH frequency is not controlled.

The BTS can change its power level in steps of 2 dB, while the maximumconfigurable change is 30 dB.

165320/1553-HSC 103 12 Uen J | 2012-03-05

User Description, Radio Network Parameters and Cell Design Data for Ericsson's GSM Systems

The number of MAIO values in the liststretches from 0 up to one less thanthe number of frequencies in the HFS.For example If there are 9 frequenciesin the HFS, the MAIO list will containthe values 0-8.

The order of the MAIO values in thedefault list is arranged in a "first eventhen odd MAIO values" manner. Thismeans that the beginning of the listwill consist of all even MAIO valuesin ascending order. After these evenvalues all the odd values are arrangedin ascending order, for example for ahopping group with 9 frequencies thedefault list will be 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 1, 3, 5and 7.

The actual MAIO values to be usedfor a channel group depend on thenumber of TRXs in the channel group.If for example three TRXs are usedfor a CHGR, only the first three MAIOvalues in the MAIO list will be used.With 9 frequencies in the hoppinggroup and three TRX, the used defaultMAIO values would be 0, 2 and 4.The remaining values will not be usedunless additional TRXs are added.

Frequency hopping can be achieved by twomethods, baseband or synthesiser hopping. Theparameter FHOP indicates the frequency hoppingmode in the TG. When the TG is connected to afilter combiner only baseband hopping can be used.

When baseband hopping is performed each TX istransmitting on a fixed frequency, that is frequencyhopping for a basic physical channel (BPC) isobtained by switching TXs between each TDMAframe.

For synthesiser hopping the TX switches frequenciesfor every TDMA frame sent. In other words, eachBPC is carried by one single TX, except when aBCCH burst is transmitted. The BCCH burst is inthat case carried by the TX that transmits the BCCHfrequency.

Numeral 1 ~ 3 (HCS with 3 layers andno HCS band)

Numeral 1 ~ 8 (HCS with 8 layers and8 HCS bands)

The HCS feature with 3 layers allowsbuilding a network in a two- orthree-layered structure. The higherlayers can for example be used forlarge cells and the lower for small cells.Cells in layer 1 have higher prioritythan cells in layer 2, which in turn havehigher priority than cells in layer 3.

With eight layers it is possible toassign unique layers to indoor cells,microcells, macrocells and possiblyumbrella cells of each system type.The first issue here is to define theHCSBAND and prioritise them in anefficient way with respect to capacity.The low loaded system type shouldhave priority over the higher loadedsystem type.

In order to configure cells with both normal andextended range channels, a subcell structure shallbe used. The normal range channels will then beplaced in the overlaid cell, while the extended rangechannels will be in the underlaid cell.(1)

(1) This parameter can only be set for internal cells.

MAXTA

Type: Numeral

Range: 0 to 63 (normal cell).

Unit: Bit periods (bp)

Default: 63

Command: RLLDC, RLLDP

O&M: -

Comments: Maximum timing advance before an MS isconsidered lost.

If the measured timing advance value for an accessburst is equal to or greater than MAXTA, then theconnection set-up signalling is terminated by thesystem.

If the measured and averaged timing advance valuefor an ongoing call is equal or greater than MAXTA,the call is released.

The useful range of MAXTA is

0 to 219 Extended range cellswith RBS2000.

0 to 63 Normal range cells.(1)

(1) MAXTA should always be greater than the parameter TALIM (see Page 193). MAXTA is ahard limit compared to TALIM, which is a soft limit.

Comments: Absolute RF channel number for measurement onBCCH.

The number is the absolute RF channel number forthe BCCH for cells to be measured on by a mobilestation in the cell.

MBCCHNO is the BCCH allocation, that is it indicatesto the MS the frequencies that must be monitoredand measured in idle, active or both modes. Thisnumber is sent to MSs in the system informationmessages, on the BCCH channel in idle mode, andon the SACCH in active mode.

Up to 32 BCCH carriers can be defined by specifyingtheir ARFCN.

The measurement reports from the MS are sentto the BSC on the SACCH, indicating the signalstrength and quality of the serving link and the signalstrength, frequency, and BSIC from the six BTSs withstrongest signal strength. Only measurements fromneighbouring cells that fulfil the requirement that theirBCCH has a frequency as indicated by MBCCHNOand an NCC as indicated by NCCPERM are valid.To be allowed to perform a handover to any of themeasured cells it is also necessary that the measuredcell is defined as a neighbor to the serving cell.

The BSS procedure uses a number of parameters defined for each eMLPPlevel, the Preemption Capability Indicator (PCI), the Preemption VulnerabilityIndicator (PVI), the Priority Level and the Queuing Allowed Indicator (QAI).These parameters are provided by the MSC.
