2 Overview
2 Overview
AMR services are 3G speech services. AMR services are classified into AMR-NB services and AMR-WB
(WRFD-010613 AMR-WB (Adaptive Multi Rate Wide Band)) services.
If the AMR-WB license is not activated on an RNC, ensure that AMR-WB is not enabled for this RNC on the CS core
network (CN) side. Otherwise, neither AMR-NB services nor emergency calls can be set up for UEs supporting
AMR-WB.
If the AMR-WB license is enabled on an RNC, ensure that AMR-WB is enabled for this RNC on the CS CN side.
Otherwise, the AMR-WB service cannot be set up.

3.1 History of UMTS Voice Services
UMTS voice services consist of the AMR service (CS voice) and the VoIP service (PS voice). The
traditional voice bearer scheme is voice over DCH. With the development of technologies and the
enhancement of bearer efficiency, HSPA/HSPA+ is being increasingly used for voice bearer.
Table 3-1 describes the development process of UMTS voice bearer technologies.

4.1 Radio Bearer Scheme
The data of AMR services is classified into three classes: A, B, and C. The classes stand for different
significance. A is most important, B is in the next place and C is in the last place. Therefore, AMR RABs
consist of three sub-flows: A, B, and C. A has a higher priority than B and C.
The CN transmits three sub-flows to the RNC, and the RNC sets up three RBs by using TM RLC to carry
the sub-flows. Each sub-flow is carried on one DCH.

5.1 Overview
The RNC uses the AMRC function to adjust AMR codec rates (WRFD-020701 AMR/WB-AMR Speech
Rates Control). It dynamically adjusts the codec rates based on the link stability and cell congestion state.
The uplink AMRC and downlink AMRC functions work independently.
AMRC Based on Link Stability (see chapter 6 "AMR Link Stability Control")
The AMRC function is controlled by the CS_AMRC_SWITCH switch under the CsSwitch parameter.
There are more specific switches:
The CS_AMRC_WB_CMP_SWITCH switch under the CsSwitch parameter in the MML command SET
UCORRMALGOSWITCH: determines whether the AMRC function is enabled for AMR-WB services.
The CS_AMRC_NB_CMP_SWITCH switch under the CsSwitch parameter in the MML command SET
UCORRMALGOSWITCH: determines whether the AMRC function is enabled for AMR-NB services.
When the AMRC function is enabled, the RNC can adjust the AMR codec rates based on different
conditions. If the AMR codec rate is adjusted to a lower one, the AMR quality will become worse. The
different AMR codec rates have different impacts on MOS (Mean Opinion Score). For details, see 3GPP
TS 26.975.
Select the AMRC as one of the actions in LDR state. The following is an example:
MOD UCELLLDR: CellId=4500, DlLdrFirstAction=AMRRateRed, DlLdrSecondAction=NoAct;

If TFO/TrFO is enabled and the calling and called parties use the same voice coding rate, compressed
speech frames may be directly transmitted between the two parties, without the need for the second
speech coding/decoding. This improves speech quality.
For TFO, there is a pair of codecs on the transmission path in the network, but the two codecs are
bypassed.
For TrFO, there is no codec on the transmission path in the network.
For details about TFO and TrFO, see 3GPP TS 28.062.
5.3.2 Description
AMRC supports the adjustment of the maximum permissible AMR codec rate that is triggered by the
peer RNC.
For AMR services, the local downlink is the peer uplink. If the local is going to adjust the downlink, the
peer should adjust the uplink. Before TFO/TrFO is applied, the codec in the CN close to the UE performs
the rate adaption. After TFO/TrFO is applied, the codec does not need to be configured or is bypassed.
If the downlink codec rate needs to be adjusted (triggered by LDR or link stability control), the local
RNC sends the rate adjustment command to the peer RNC through the CN. The peer RNC further
determines whether to perform rate adjustment according to the AMRC function.
If the RNC receives the rate adjustment command from the peer end, it adjusts the uplink rate at the
local end to the maximum rate that is closest to or equal to but not higher than the rate requested by
the peer end.

If this switch is turned on, AMRC does not take effect. When the peer device sends a request of rate
adjustment, the local device cannot response to the request in the uplink.
If this switch is turned off, AMRC takes effect. When the peer device sends a request of rate
adjustment, the local device cannot response to the request in the uplink.
The RNC sends an Iu UP Rate Control Request message to the CN to request to adjust the downlink
rate of the UE. After the CN adjusted the downlink rate, the CN responds with an Iu UP Rate Control
Response message to the RNC.

6.1.1 Overview
6.1.1 Overview
When the UE's uplink transmit power or the downlink TCP of the DPDCH exceeds the threshold, the link
stability control function for AMR voice services triggers a rate decrease, an inter-frequency handover, or
an inter-RAT handover, to guarantee the stability of links. These actions are controlled by individual
switches but are performed in this fixed sequence: first rate decrease and then inter-frequency handover
or inter-RAT handover if necessary. When the AMRQosPerform parameter in the MML command SET
UQOSACT is set to YES, the QoS control algorithm is used for AMR services. When the parameter is
set to NO, the QoS control algorithm is not used for AMR services.
Table 6-1 shows the basic principle of AMRC based on link stability.

Events 6A, 6B, F, and E are all measurement types defined in the 3GPP specifications. The digits and lower-case letters
are used to distinguish between measurement sets of the same type. Measurement control parameters (such as threshold
and hysteresis) of different measurement sets can be delivered and processed separately. For example, the RNC delivers
two sets of measurement control parameters M1 and M2 to the UE. Then, event 6A reported by the UE based on M1 is
considered as event 6A1 and event 6A reported by the UE based on M2 is considered as event 6A2.
Threshold of event 6A1, 6B1, 6A2, 6B2, or 6D for the transmit power
Then, the UE measures the transmit power in real time, filters the measurement results, and takes
corresponding actions:
If the UE transmit power is above the threshold of event 6A1 for the transmit power for a period of time
specified by UlAmrTrigTime6A1, event 6A1 is triggered.
If the UE transmit power is below the threshold of event 6B1 for the transmit power for a period of time
specified by UlAmrTrigTime6B1, event 6B1 is triggered.
If the UE transmit power is below the threshold of event 6B2 for the transmit power for a period of time
specified by UlAmrTrigTime6B2, event 6B2 is triggered.
If the UE transmit power is above the threshold of event 6A2 for the transmit power for a period of time
specified by UlAmrTrigTime6A2, event 6A2 is triggered.
If the UE transmit power is equal to the maximum transmit power for a period of time specified by
UlAmrTrigTime6D, event 6D is triggered.
Each time a measurement event is triggered, the UE sends a measurement event report to the UTRAN
through a MEASUREMENT REPORT message. Then, the uplink AMRC function performs
corresponding control tasks according to the report.
Events 6A1, 6A2, 6B1, and 6B2 have different thresholds, as shown in Figure 6-1.

As shown in Figure 6-1, the maximum uplink transmit power for conversational services is specified by
the parameter MaxUlTxPowerforConv. Delta_6a1, Delta_6b1, Delta_6a2, and Delta_6b2 are relative
thresholds, which are the differences between the absolute thresholds of events 6A1, 6B1, 6A2, and 6B2
for the transmit power and the maximum uplink transmit power of conversational service. They are
specified by parameters UlThd6A1, UlThd6B1, UlThd6A2, and UlThd6B2, respectively.
The absolute thresholds are calculated by the following formulas:

When the average transmit power of the DPDCH is above the threshold of event E1 for the transmit
power, event E1 is triggered.

When the average transmit power of the DPDCH is below the threshold of event F1 for the transmit
power, event F1 is triggered.
When the average transmit power of the DPDCH is above the threshold of event F2 for the transmit
power, event F2 is triggered.
Events E1, E2, F1, and F2 have different thresholds, as shown in Figure 6-3.

The maximum downlink DPDCH transmit power shown in Figure 6-3 is specified by the parameter
RlMaxDlPwr. Delta_E1, Delta_E2, Delta_F1, and Delta_F2 are relative thresholds, which are the
differences between the absolute thresholds of events E1, E2, F1, and F2 for the transmit power and the
maximum downlink DPDCH transmit power. They are specified by the parameters DlThdE1, DlThdE2,
DlThdF1, and DlThdF2 respectively.
The absolute thresholds are calculated according to the following formulas:
PPCPICH is the power for P-CPICH. RlMaxDlPwr is the power offset relative to P-CPICH.
If the transmit power in the pilot field of the DPCCH is above the threshold of event Ea for a period of
time specified by DlAmrTrigTimeE, event Ea is triggered. Then, the NodeB periodically reports the
measurement results of the transmit power to the RNC. The period for the NodeB to report
measurement results is specified by the parameter ChoiceRptUnitForAmrE, TenMsecForAmrE, or
MinForAmrE.
If the transmit power in the pilot field of the DPCCH is below the threshold of event Eb for a period of
time (DlAmrTrigTimeE), event Eb is triggered.
Issue 03 (2012-12-30)
6-6
WCDMA RAN
AMR
The threshold of event E is related to services. The absolute threshold of event Ea or Eb is calculated
according to the following formula:
E threshold = Maximum DL power - Relative threshold + PO3
In the equation:
PO3 is the offset from the transmit power in the pilot field of the DPCCH to the transmit power of the
DPDCH.
Relative threshold is the relative threshold of event Ea or Eb, specified by the parameter ThdEa or
ThdEb respectively.
If the report on event 6A1 or 6D is received, the maximum permissible uplink AMR codec rate is
decreased. Rate decrease is performed continually until the report on event 6B1 or 6B2 is received. If
the rate is the GBR before the rate decrease or if the rate decrease fails, an inter-frequency or
inter-RAT handover is performed.
If the report on event 6B2 is received and the uplink load is normal, the maximum permissible AMR
codec rate is increased. Rate increase is performed continually until the report on event 6A2 or 6A1 is
received. If the rate is already the maximum rate in the controllable rate set before rate increase, rate
increase is not performed.
DL Rate Adjustment
The DL AMRC function adjusts the maximum permissible downlink AMR codec rate in the controllable
rate set based on the transmit power of the DPDCH. This function can adjust the rate by only one level
each time.
The detailed process is as follows:
If the report on event E1 is received, the maximum permissible DL AMR codec rate is decreased. Rate
decrease is performed continually until the power is below the threshold of event E2. If the rate is the
GBR before the rate decrease or if the rate decrease fails, an inter-frequency or inter-RAT handover is
performed.
If the report on event F1 is received and the DL load is normal, the maximum permissible AMR codec
rate is increased. Rate increase is performed continually until the power is above the threshold of
event F2. If the rate is already the maximum rate in the controllable rate set before rate increase, rate
increase is not performed.

23.85 kbit/s AMR-WB services consume more resources than 12.2 kbit/s AMR-NB services, such as
air interface resources, CE resources, and code resources. If resources become insufficient, the RAB
setup success rate decreases. With the same downlink transmit power, the cell coverage for 23.85

at the cell edge is poorer.
12.65 kbit/s AMR-WB services consume almost the same amount of resources as 12.2 kbit/s AMR-NB

8 Engineering Guidelines
8.1 Deploying AMR-WB (Adaptive Multi Rate Wide Band)
8.1.1 When to Use This Feature
It is recommended that this feature be enabled for operators who require high speech quality.
After this feature is enabled, 23.85 kbit/s AMR-WB services consume more resources than 12.2 kbit/s
AMR-NB services, such as air interface resources, CE resources, and code resources. If resources
become insufficient, the RAB setup success rate decreases. With the same downlink transmit power, the
cell coverage for 23.85 kbit/s AMR-WB services is smaller than that for 12.2 kbit/s AMR-NB services,
and the speech quality at the cell edge is poorer. As a result, the call drop rate of 23.85 kbit/s AMR-WB
services is higher than that of 12.2 kbit/s AMR-NB services. Therefore, this feature is not recommended
for 23.85 kbit/s AMR-WB services in KPI-sensitive cells.
After this feature is enabled, UEs with compatibility issues may become muted or hear metallic sounds.
Therefore, perform InterOperability Testing (IOT) tests to check for UE compatibility issues before
enabling this feature.
The Wide Band AMR license has been activated on the BSC6900 side.

Precautions
Do not configure parameters without Huawei professional technical support because incorrect
parameter settings may affect system capacity and network performance.
Note the following:
If the Wide Band AMR license is not activated on an RNC, ensure that AMR-WB is not enabled for this
RNC on the CS CN side either. Otherwise, UEs supporting AMR-WB cannot perform AMR-NB
services or emergency calls.
If the Wide Band AMR license is activated on an RNC, ensure that AMR-WB is enabled for this RNC
on the CS CN side also. Otherwise, AMR-WB services cannot be set up.
Feature Activation
1.
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET UAMRCWB to set RNC-level AMR-WB speech rates for
gold, silver, and copper users.
2.
(Optional) Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD UCELLAMRCWB to set cell-level AMR-WB
speech rates for gold, silver, and copper users.
Activation Observation
1.
Run the BSC6900 MML command LST UAMRCWB to query RNC-level AMR-WB speech rates for
gold, silver, and copper users.
2.
(Optional) Run the BSC6900 MML command LST UCELLAMRCWB to query cell-level AMR-WB
speech rates for gold, silver, and copper users.
3.
On the BSC6900 LMT, open the Monitor tab page. In the navigation tree, choose Monitor > UMTS
Monitoring and double-click Connection Performance Monitoring. In the displayed dialog box,
set Monitor Item to AMR Mode.
4.
Make available two UEs that support AMR-WB: UE 1 and UE 2. Make UEs camp on CELL_A11.
5.
Use UE 1 to call UE 2 to verify that calls are being successfully established and the voice is clear.
6.
Check the AMR mode during performance monitoring, and verify that the downlink rate of UE 1
reaches the specified value.
Deactivation
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET LICENSE to deactivate the license that controls this feature.
After the license is deactivated, UEs supporting AMR-WB cannot set up wideband or narrowband services. If AMR-WB is
disabled for an RNC on the CN side, UEs supporting AMR-WB under this RNC can still set up narrowband services.

CMP_RELOCIN_IUUPVER_NOTCHG
_SWITCH: When the switch is set to
ON, the Iu user plane (UP) version is
not decreased if the Uu data rate set
and the Iu data rate set in the static
relocation container are different.
Otherwise, the Iu UP version is
decreased to version 1.
2.
CMP_IUBR_DM_RTT_ALTERNATIVE
_FMT_SWITCH: When the switch is
set to ON, RTT dedicated
measurement adopts the extended cell
mode. When the switch is set to OFF,
RTT dedicated measurement does not
adopt the extended cell mode. This
parameter is used to solve the problem
that some NodeBs do not support RTT
dedicated measurement adopting the
extended cell mode.
3. CMP_IUR_CMCF_SWITCH: When
the switch is set to ON, compressed
mode is started by using a RADIO LINK
RECONFIGURATION message. When
the switch is set to OFF, compressed
mode is started by using a
COMPRESSED MODE COMMAND
message.
4. CMP_STTD_RL_ADD_SWITCH:
When the switch is set to ON, the
transmit diversity mode information
element is always carried in the RADIO
LINK SETUP REQUEST message
during radio link establishment if a cell
enabled with transmit diversity and

5. CMP_STTD_ASU_SWITCH: When
a UE is soft-handed over from a cell
enabled with transmit diversity to a cell
disabled with transmit diversity, the UE
may return active set update failure. If
the switch is set to ON, the BSC6900
resends the active set update message
to the UE after an active set update
failure. If the switch is set to OFF, the
BSC6900 does not resend an active
set update message after an active set
update failure.
6.
CMP_RAB_DRD_ROLLBACK_PUNIS
H_SWITCH: When the switch is set to
OFF, a penalty is imposed on a failed
directed retry due to any failures on the
Uu interface during the whole call.
When the switch is set to ON, no
penalty is imposed on a failed directed
retry after best cell changed. By
default, this switch is set to OFF.
7.
CMP_WBAMR_SUBFLOW_SWITCH:
When the switch is set to ON, the
number of WB AMR service
substreams is configured according to
the number of substreams specified in
the RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST
message. When the switch is set to
OFF, the number of WB AMR service
substreams is 3. This switch is
introduced to comply with the Change
Request (CR) specified in the related
protocol, that is, three substreams need
to be established for a WB AMR
service.
8.
CMP_IUR_CELLCAP_BITMAP_TRAN
SFORM_SWITCH: The switch is used
to solve the problem that different
vendors' BSC6900s interpret the cell
capability bitmap differently on the Iur
interface. When the switch is set to ON,
the BSC6900 interprets the cell

9.
CMP_MOCN_PLMN_SEL_SWITCH:
When the switch is set to ON, if the UE
supports the MOCN feature, the SRNC
preferentially uses the PLMN of the
UE's homing operator in the
RELOCATION REQUIRED message,
and the TRNC preferentially uses the
PLMN of the UE's homing operator in
the LOCATION REPORT message and
the DIRECT TRANSFER message
during relocation; if the UE does not
support the MOCN feature, the SRNC
and the TRNC preferentially use the
common operator's PLMN in these
above messages. When the switch is
set to OFF, the SRNC preferentially
uses the PLMN of the UE's homing
operator in the RELOCATION
REQUIRED message, and the TRNC
preferentially uses the PLMN of the
UE's homing operator in the
LOCATION REPORT message, but the
TRNC preferentially uses the common
operator's PLMN in the DIRECT
TRANSFER message during
relocation.

CMP_LOSSLESS_RELOC_RLCPDUS
IZECHG_SWITCH: When the switch is
set to ON, the BSC6900 sets the
"Support for lossless SRNS relocation
or for lossless DL RLC PDU size
change" IE transmitted on the Uu
interface to TRUE only if the UE
supports both lossless SRNS
relocation and downlink RLC PDU size
change. When the switch is set to OFF,
the BSC6900 sets the "Support for
lossless SRNS relocation or for
lossless DL RLC PDU size change" IE

CMP_CS_FIXED_RATE_WHEN_PS_
EXIST_SWITCH: When the switch is
set to ON, the BSC6900 sets the uplink
mode of an AMR service to 12.2 kbit/s,
0, and SID if the UE has an established
PS service. In this case, the AMRC
algorithm is not considered.
12.
CMP_SRB_H_AMR_DRD_HHO_SWI
TCH: Whether DRD can be performed
during AMR service establishment if
signaling is carried over HSPA. When
this switch is turned on, DRD cannot be
performed during AMR service
establishment when signaling is carried
over HSPA. When this switch is turned
off, DRD can be performed during AMR
service establishment when signaling is
carried over HSPA.
13.
CMP_UU_AMR_DRD_HHO_COMPAT
_ENH_SWITCH: Whether to enable
the enhanced AMR anti-static function.
When this switch is turned on and the
DRD procedure is triggered, the RNC
initiates an inter-frequency blind
handover to move a UE to the target
cell and then processes an AMR
service in the target cell for the UE if
one of following conditions is met:
SRBs are carried over HSPA channels
and the UE is processing an AMR
service only.
The US initiates an AMR service when
a PS service is still in progress.
When this switch is turned off and the
DRD procedure is triggered, the RNC
initiates an inter-frequency blind
handover and processes an AMR
service in the target cell for the UE at
the same time if one of the preceding
conditions is also met.
