AMR Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
AMR is an adaptive multi-rate voice coding/decoding, which is termed full-rate speech version
3 and half-rate speech version 3 in GSM specifications. AMR enables the BTS and the MS to
automatically select an appropriate coding/decoding rate from the specified ACS according to
the interference level in the radio environment. This enhances the capability and the speech
quality of the wireless communication system.
AMR is classified into AMR FR and AMR HR. AMR specifies eight speech coding rates. Table
2-1 lists the speech coding rates supported by AMR FR and AMR HR. (GBFD-115501 AMR
FR, GBFD-115502 AMR HR)

NOTE
l √ indicates that the NE supports this feature. × indicates that the NE does not support this feature.
l When SERVICEMODE(BSC6900,BSC6910) of the BTS is set to IP or HDLC, Huawei BSS supports
the AMR coding rate of 7.95 kbit/s.
l When SERVICEMODE(BSC6900,BSC6910) of the BTS is set to TDM, Huawei BSS does not support
the AMR HR coding rate of 7.95 kbit/s.
As listed in Table 2-1, the coding rates of 12.2 kbit/s and 10.2 kbit/s are supported by only the
AMR FR channel. The other six types of coding rates are supported by both the AMR FR channel
and the AMR HR channel.
Each ACS contains a maximum of four coding schemes. One coding scheme corresponds to one
speech coding rate.
l For an AMR FR call, the ACS contains a maximum of four speech coding rates of the eight
rates listed in Table 2-1.
l For an AMR HR call, the ACS contains a maximum of four speech coding rates of the six
rates listed in Table 2-1.
l When AMR is enabled on the network, the BSC selects an ACS and then a coding scheme
from the ACS during the call establishment or the handover procedure. Meanwhile, the MS
and the BTS continuously measure the receive level, receive quality, and carrier-to-
interference ratio (CIR). According to the measurement results, the MS and the BTS
continuously evaluate the interference level in the radio environment. The BTS then adjusts
the speech coding rates of the MS and the BTS according to the evaluated interference level
through the inband signaling.

AMR Feature Parameter Description 3 Technical Description
3 Technical Description
3.1 Inband Signaling

Inband signaling is a type of signaling through which user data and control information are
transmitted on the same channel. In this document, the inband signaling refers to the AMR
control information such as the CMR and CMI that is transmitted through certain bits in the
header of the transcoder and rate adapter unit (TRAU) frame.
During a call, the MS and the BTS continuously measure the interference level experienced by
the signals and analyze the measurement results. Based on the measurement results, the AMR
control information is then exchanged through the inband signaling to enable the BTS to adjust
the speech coding rate involved in the ongoing speech service.
The AMR control information is transmitted through certain bits in the header of the TRAU
frame. The AMR control information can be classified into the following types:
Downlink Codec Mode Request (DL CMR): The DL CMR occupies two bits in the header of
the TRAU frame. It is used by the MS to send the recommended DL coding scheme to the BTS.
Downlink Codec Mode Indication (DL CMI): The DL CMI occupies two bits in the header of
the TRAU frame. It is used by the BTS to send the current DL coding scheme to the MS.
Uplink Codec Mode Command (UL CMC): The UL CMC occupies two bits in the header of
the TRAU frame. It is used by the BTS to send the UL coding scheme that should be used by
the MS to the MS.
Uplink Codec Mode Indication (UL CMI): The UL CMI occupies two bits in the header of the
TRAU frame. It is used by the MS to send the current UL coding scheme to the BTS.
Uplink Maximum Codec Mode Command (UL Max CMC): The UL Max CMC occupies three
bits in the header of the TRAU frame.
To implement AMR coding scheme adaptation, a Mode Control Entity is used in both the MS
and the BTS, as shown in Figure 3-1.

GSM BSS
Figure 3-1 AMR coding scheme adaptation
As shown in Figure 3-1, the AMR coding scheme adaptation procedure is as follows:
l Uplink direction
– The BTS measures the receive quality of the uplink speech and generates the Uplink
Measurement (UL MEAS).
– The Mode Control Entity of the BTS updates the UL CMC based on the UL MEAS
generated by the BTS.
– The BTS instructs the MS to change the uplink coding scheme through the UL CMC.
– The MS changes the uplink coding scheme as indicated by the UL CMC and then sends
the UL CMI to the BTS to inform the BTS of the new uplink coding scheme.
l Downlink direction
– The MS measures the receive quality of the downlink speech and generates the
Downlink Measurement (DL MEAS). The Mode Control Entity of the MS converts the
DL MEAS into the recommended downlink coding scheme. Then, the MS sends the
recommended downlink coding scheme to the BTS through the DL CMR.
– The Mode Control Entity of the BTS updates the downlink speech coding scheme based
on the recommended downlink coding scheme sent from the MS.
– The BTS instructs the MS to use the new downlink coding scheme through the DL CMI.
3.2 AMR Coding Scheme Adjustment

AMR coding scheme adjustment is a process in which the AMR coding scheme of a call
frequently changes to adapt to the variations of the interference level in the radio environment.
An ACS is specified by ACSSETF(BSC6900,BSC6910) or ACSSETH(BSC6900,BSC6910) .

If ACSSETF(BSC6900,BSC6910) or ACSSETH(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to
SINGLEMODE, the ACS is determined by the value of ACTCDSETF(BSC6900,BSC6910)
or ACTCDSETH(BSC6900,BSC6910).

GSM BSS
When an AMR call is set up, the BSC selects an appropriate coding rate according to the
following conditions:
l If ACSSETF(BSC6900,BSC6910) or ACSSETH(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to

SINGLEMODE, INITCDMDF(BSC6900,BSC6910) or INITCDMDH
(BSC6900,BSC6910) determines the coding rate to be selected from the ACS specified by
ACTCDSETF(BSC6900,BSC6910) or ACTCDSETH(BSC6900,BSC6910).
l If the ACS specified by ACSSETF(BSC6900,BSC6910) or ACSSETH
(BSC6900,BSC6910) contains three or fewer coding rates, the lowest coding rate in the
ACS is selected.
l If the ACS specified by ACSSETF(BSC6900,BSC6910) or ACSSETH
(BSC6900,BSC6910) contains four coding rates, the second lowest coding rate in the ACS
is selected.
Table 3-1 describes the mapping between ACSs and AMR coding rates.

NOTE

For AMR HR calls, ACS 1 only consists of 4.75 kbit/s, 5.9 kbit/s, and 7.4 kbit/s.
The RATECTRLSW(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter specifies whether the AMR coding

scheme is adjusted during an AMR call. The setting of this parameter is described as follows:
l If this parameter is set to ALG1(Algorithm I), the BSC adjusts the AMR coding scheme
based on the carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR).
l If this parameter is set to ALG2(Algorithm II), the BSC adjusts the AMR coding scheme
based on the bit error rate (BER). Due to the algorithm's immaturity, inappropriate AMR

GSM BSS
coding scheme adjustment will impair voice quality of AMR calls. Therefore, this algorithm
is not recommended.
l If this parameter is set to NONE(None), the AMR coding scheme adjustment is disabled.
If the RATECTRLSW(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to ALG1(Algorithm I), the

AMRRATEADJOPTALG(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter can be used to determine whether to
use the AMR coding scheme adjustment optimization algorithm. This algorithm provides
optimized CIR estimation, improves accuracy of CIR estimation in different interference
scenarios and of coding scheme usage, and further improves speech performance. The
AMRRATEADJOPTALG(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter has two values:
l EACH(Each Interference): The algorithm that applies to scenarios with various

interference is used.
l MEAN(Mean Interference): The algorithm that applies to scenarios with evenly
distributed interference is used
If the RATECTRLSW(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to ALG1(Algorithm I) or ALG2

(Algorithm II), the AMR coding scheme adapts to the change of the radio environment during
a call according to the configured threshold and hysteresis.
NOTE
Each AMR coding scheme has an adjustment threshold (THR), which is used to select the coding scheme
that best suits to the CIR or BER of the interference level in the radio environment. To avoid constant
changes of the coding scheme, the hysteresis (HYST) is introduced. The value of THR ranges from 0 to
63. Value 1 indicates 0.5 dB, and value 2 indicates 1 dB. The rest may be deduced by analogy. The value
of HYST ranges from 0 to 15. The HYST value complements the THR. For an ACS, a maximum of three
THRs and three HYSTs are available.
Figure 3-2 shows the principle of AMR coding scheme adjustment.

Figure 3-3 shows how the BTS adjusts the AMR uplink coding scheme when RATECTRLSW
(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ALG1(Algorithm I).

As shown in Figure 3-3, assume that coding scheme CODEC_MODE_3 is used:
l If the CIR is greater than the result of ULTHF3(BSC6900,BSC6910) plus ULHYSTF3

(BSC6900,BSC6910), the MS needs to adjust the coding scheme to CODEC_MODE_4.

GSM BSS
l If the CIR is less than the value of ULTHF2(BSC6900,BSC6910), the MS needs to adjust
the coding scheme to CODEC_MODE_2.
l In other cases, the coding scheme remains unchanged.
The same rules apply when another coding scheme is used:
l Assume that coding scheme CODEC_MODE_1 is used:
– If the CIR is greater than the result of ULTHF1(BSC6900,BSC6910) plus ULHYSTF1
– In other cases, the coding scheme remains unchanged.
– If the CIR is greater than the result of ULTHF2(BSC6900,BSC6910) plus ULHYSTF2
– If the CIR is less than the value of ULTHF1(BSC6900,BSC6910), the MS needs to
adjust the coding scheme to CODEC_MODE_1.
– In other cases, the coding scheme remains unchanged.
– If the CIR is less than the value of ULTHF3(BSC6900,BSC6910), the MS needs to
adjust the coding scheme to CODEC_MODE_3.
l In other cases, the coding scheme remains unchanged.
If the coding scheme is to be adjusted, the BTS sends a UL CMC to the MS. The procedure
for adjusting the uplink coding scheme by the BTS is complete.
The AMR HR calls use the same uplink coding scheme adjustment policy as that used by the
AMR FR calls; however, they use different parameters. The uplink AMR HR coding scheme
involves the following parameters: ULTHH1(BSC6900,BSC6910), ULTHH2
(BSC6900,BSC6910), ULTHH3(BSC6900,BSC6910), ULHYSTH1(BSC6900,BSC6910),
ULHYSTH2(BSC6900,BSC6910), and ULHYSTH3(BSC6900,BSC6910).
The downlink AMR coding scheme adjustment policy is similar to the uplink AMR coding
scheme adjustment policy. The only difference is that they use different parameters.
The downlink AMR FR coding scheme involves the following parameters: DLTHF1
(BSC6900,BSC6910), DLTHF2(BSC6900,BSC6910), DLTHF3(BSC6900,BSC6910),
DLHYSTF1(BSC6900,BSC6910), DLHYSTF2(BSC6900,BSC6910), and DLHYSTF3
(BSC6900,BSC6910).
The downlink AMR HR coding scheme involves the following parameters: DLTHH1
(BSC6900,BSC6910), DLTHH2(BSC6900,BSC6910), DLTHH3(BSC6900,BSC6910),
DLHYSTH1(BSC6900,BSC6910), DLHYSTH2(BSC6900,BSC6910), and DLHYSTH3
(BSC6900,BSC6910).
3.3 AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment

Generally, network planning engineers set the ACS, threshold parameters, and hysteresis
parameters for a cell according to the evaluation of the radio channel quality. When the radio
channel quality keeps changing or the quality evaluation is inaccurate, the parameter settings do
not meet the requirements of the speech services in the cell. In this case, the appropriate AMR
coding scheme cannot be selected for a call, and the quality of the speech services is affected.

GSM BSS
The AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment feature is introduced for the MS and
BTS to monitor the uplink and downlink speech quality respectively in real time and to set uplink
and downlink target speech quality using the LTFERTGT or DLLTFERTGT parameters,
respectively. When the speech quality over the current radio channel keeps changing or the
quality evaluation is inaccurate, the BSC compares the current speech quality with the target
speech quality to determine whether the threshold is proper. This enables the BSC to adaptively
adjust the threshold and select an appropriate AMR coding scheme for the call, as shown in
Figure 3-4. (GBFD-115506 AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment)
Figure 3-4 Adaptive threshold adjustment
The AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment feature supports the adaptive
adjustment of the uplink AMR coding rate threshold and that of the downlink AMR coding rate
threshold, both of which have the same working principles.
The AMRUADTHAW parameter specifies whether the adaptive adjustment of the uplink AMR
coding rate threshold is enabled. The LTFERTGT parameter specifies the uplink target speech
quality and must be set to a value larger than that of LTFERLOWTH but smaller than that of
LTFERUPTH. The LTTHADJFA parameter specifies the coefficient or frequency for the
uplink threshold adjustment. A larger value of LTTHADJFA indicates a more frequent threshold
adjustment, but its value does not affect the threshold setting.
The AMRDADTHAW parameter specifies whether the adaptive adjustment of the downlink
AMR coding rate threshold is enabled. The DLLTFERTGT parameter specifies the downlink
target speech quality and must be set to a value larger than that of DLLTFERLOWTH but smaller
than that of DLLTFERUPTH. The DLLTTHADJFA parameter specifies the coefficient or
frequency for the downlink threshold adjustment. A larger value of DLLTTHADJFA indicates
a more frequent threshold adjustment, but its value does not affect the threshold setting.
The AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment feature brings the following benefits:
l AMR speech calls can select a proper coding rate.

l Speech quality is improved in the AMR speech calls.

GSM BSS
3.4 AMR Power Control

The procedure of power control for AMR calls is similar to that for non-AMR calls.
(GBFD-115503 AMR Power Control)
In Huawei II power control algorithm and Huawei III power control algorithm, parameters
related to AMR power control are configured separately from those related to non-AMR power
control. The AMR calls and non-AMR calls can adopt different power control strategies. For
details, see Power Control Feature Parameter Description. The following lists the parameters
related to AMR power control.

3.5 E-Coder
Enhanced Coding (E-Coder) optimizes AMR coding modules, therefore improving AMR voice
quality. The emulation results show that E-Coder improves the MOS by 0.05 to 0.12. E-Coder

GSM BSS
is not supported when A over IP and TFO are enabled on the BSC 6900 or the BSC6910 is used.
E-Coder is supported only in the downlink.
To enable the E-Coder function, set EncodeMode to ECODEC(Enhanced code mode).
3.6 AMR Radio Link Timer

AMR calls have stronger robustness than common calls. Therefore, AMR calls maintain good
voice quality at a low rate even if common calls drop due to poor radio link quality. Setting the
radio link timer for AMR calls to the same value as that for common calls will cause unexpected
AMR call drops. This deteriorates user experience.
The Huawei BSC allows users to set radio link timers for AMR calls and common calls
separately. The radio link timers for AMR calls are classified into AMR FR and AMR HR radio
link timers. Setting the radio link timer for AMR calls longer than that for common calls ensures
that AMR calls are maintained for a long time in a poor radio environment. This reduces the call
drop rate.
l The AMR FR radio link timer is determined by the AFRDSBLCNT

(BSC6900,BSC6910) and AFRSAMULFRM(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameters.
l The AMR HR radio link timer is determined by theAHRDSBLCNT
(BSC6900,BSC6910) and AHRSAMULFRM(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameters.

AMR Feature Parameter Description 5 Network Impact
5 Network Impact
5.1 AMR FR
5.1.1 System Capacity

The AMR FR feature provides a strong anti-interference capability to calls. This allows tight
frequency reuse and increases system capacity.
With this feature, calls in some weak coverage areas can be maintained. This reduces the
possibility of active hang-ups, increasing the traffic volume.
5.1.2 Network Performance

The voice quality of 12.2 kbit/s AMR FR calls is equivalent to that of EFR calls and is better
than that of FR calls. In areas with weak signals, the voice quality of low-rate AMR FR calls is
much better than that of EFR and FR calls because of strong robustness of AMR FR calls.
5.2 AMR HR

When network capacity is limited, the AMR HR feature increases system capacity and reduces
the network congestion rate while maintaining acceptable voice quality.

The voice quality of 7.4 kbit/s AMR HR calls is better than that of HR calls. In weak coverage
areas, the voice quality of low-rate AMR HR calls is much better than that of HR calls because
of strong robustness of AMR HR calls.
5.3 AMR Power Control

GSM BSS

The AMR Power Control feature improves the anti-interference capability. This allows tight
frequency reuse and increases system capacity.

AMR optimizes the speech codec but not the signaling codec. Therefore, AMR slightly affects
the handover success rate theoretically. AMR can expand the radio network coverage. Therefore,
MSs can make calls even if they are located in weak coverage areas. However, the receive quality
in measurement reports (MRs) is poor, leading to bad quality handovers. When AMR is enabled,
the number of bad quality handovers may increase. When the AMR Power Control feature is
enabled, network interference decreases, and the number of handovers due to interference
decreases.
This feature enhances the anti-interference capability for AMR calls, improving voice quality
experience of subscribers in weak coverage areas.
5.4 AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment

None

The AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment feature makes AMR coding rate
adjustment thresholds and hysteresis more adaptive to the Um interface quality, improving the
voice quality.
5.5 AMR Radio Link Timer

None

AMR FR improves the robustness of AMR FR speech frames but not the robustness of SACCH
signaling frames. Therefore, AMR FR does not affect the TCH call drop rate theoretically. In
practice, however, when AMR FR is enabled, the TCH call drop rate increases because of the
following causes:
l For EFR, FR, or HR calls, SACCH signaling frames have the similar robustness to that of
speech frames. Therefore, a subscriber in a weak coverage area may hang up the phone
because of poor conversation quality. Such a hang-up is not counted as a call drop. However,
such a hang-up for an AMR call is counted as a call drop.
l When AMR FR is enabled, the robustness of AMR FR speech frames is stronger than that
of SACCH signaling frames. Therefore, speech frames area can be correctly decoded in a

GSM BSS
weak coverage, and therefore subscribers will not hang up the phone. SACCH frames,
however, cannot be correctly decoded. Therefore, RLT(BSC6900,BSC6910) expires, and
call drops occur, leading to an increase in the TCH call drop rate.
AMR FR and AMR HR incorporate the following parameters: AFRDSBLCNT

(BSC6900,BSC6910), AHRDSBLCNT(BSC6900,BSC6910), AFRSAMULFRM
(BSC6900,BSC6910), and AHRSAMULFRM(BSC6900,BSC6910). By modifying the settings
of these parameters, you can improve the robustness of SACCH signaling frames and enhance
network coverage performance using AMR to decrease the TCH call drop rate.

AMR Feature Parameter Description 6 Engineering Guidelines
6 Engineering Guidelines
6.1 When to Use AMR
6.1.1 AMR FR and AMR HR

It is recommended that the AMR FR or AMR HR feature be used in the following scenarios:
l Capacity-sufficient scenarios: If the number of AMR calls reaches a certain proportion,

enable AMR FR or AMR HR in some cells to improve voice quality and user experience.
l Capacity-limited scenarios: Based on the strong anti-interference capability of AMR, tight
frequency reuse can be used. Based on the similarity of voice quality between AMR FR
used with AMR HR and AMR FR, some HR channels can be used to improve the network
capacity while maintaining network quality.
6.1.2 AMR Power Control

It is recommended that the AMR Power Control feature be used with AMR FR or AMR HR.
This enhances anti-interference capability, increases network capacity, and improves voice
quality.
6.1.3 AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment

It is recommended that the AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment feature be used
when radio link quality varies frequently or network planning personnel are difficult to predict
radio quality. With this feature, the BTS adaptively adjusts AMR coding rate thresholds to ensure
AMR performance.
6.1.4 AMR Radio Link Timer

It is recommended that the AMR Radio Link Timer feature be used with AMR FR or AMR HR.
This decreases the call drop rate and improves user experience.
6.2 Required Information

GSM BSS

Before deploying the AMR FR or AMR HR feature, collect the following information: AMR-
capable MS penetration rate and Um-interface coverage quality. For AMR HR deployment, you
also need to learn about the network load. If the network is congested, you are advised to enable
AMR HR.

None

Before deploying the AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment feature, analyze
network interference and determine AMR coding rate adjustment thresholds. This feature
supports the adaptive adjustment of uplink and downlink AMR coding rate thresholds. The
adaptive adjustment of downlink AMR coding rate threshold depends on the Enhanced
Measurement Report (EMR) feature. Before enabling adaptive adjustment of downlink AMR
coding rate threshold, collect the EMR-capable MS penetration rate.

Before deploying the AMR Radio Link Timer feature, collect the AMR FR or AMR HR call
drop rate.
6.3 Planning

RF Planning
According to the impact of AMR on network capacity and quality, RF planning for AMR is as
follows: Compared with FR and EFR, AMR supports a lower CIR with the same voice quality.
In addition, AMR improves network performance in a tight frequency reuse pattern. Therefore,
you can configure some channels on a TRX as AMR HR channels with the same network
frequency planning so that these AMR HR channels are allocated to AMR calls. This increases
system capacity.
Certain MSs do not support AMR. Therefore, you must appropriately plan the network capacity
based on the AMR-capable MS penetration rate and select a proper frequency reuse pattern for
frequency planning. If you perform network planning without considering the MSs that do not
support AMR, the overall network KPIs deteriorate.
