2.1 Voice Service

2.1.1 ZGB-01-01-001 Full Rate (FR) Speech Codec
Prerequisite
The Configuration Management tab is open.
Context
GSM system uses the basic encoding algorithm of Linear Predictive Coding with Regular
Pulse Excitation (LPC-RPE codec), to obtain a speech coding rate that is 13 kb/s.
Full rate speech codec (FRSC) provides the speech code with good quality for full-rate
channels.
Steps
1. Double-click the GSM Logical Configuration node in the managed element tree in
the lower-left pane. The GSM Logical Configuration-List sub-tab is displayed in the
right pane, see Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 GSM Logical Configuration-List Sub-tab
2. Select a parameter to modify, and then click . The GSM Logical Configuration
sub-tab is displayed, see Figure 2-2.

2.1.2 ZGO-01-01-001 Half Rate

Prerequisite
Context
Compared with the Full Rate (FR) speech coding, the Half Rate (HR) speech coding is a
feature that is provided by the Base Station System (BSS) can add speech user capacity
after modifying some configurations.

8. Select TCH/H(0,1)+FACCH/H(0,1)+SACCH/TH(0,1)[1] from the TS Channel

Combination list.
2.1.3 ZGO-01-01-002 Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) Speech Codec

Prerequisite
Context
The Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) coding mechanism uses the Algebraic-code-excited
linear-prediction (ACELP) method, and can enable the GSM system to provide voice
quality similar to Adapative Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM) (32 kbit/s) in the
same bandwidth as full rate coding.
l Under poor radio conditions, the EFR can provide better capacity in a certain degree.
l Compared with the FR, the EFR is insensitive to error code at Abis link, so EFR has
better effect on Bit Error Rate (BER) resistance.
Steps
2-6

Chapter 2 Service
2.1.4 ZGO-01-01-003 Adaptive Multi-rate Codec (AMR)

Prerequisite
2-7

Context
The Adaptive Multiple Rate (AMR) is a kind of speech coding algorithm with variable rates.
It can automatically adjust speech coding rate in accordance with the C/I valu, to obtain
the best speech quality.
Based on protocol definitions, the AMR-FR speech coding supports 8 modes (12.2, 10.2,
7.95, 7.40, 6.70, 5.90, 5.15, and 4.75 kbit/s) that are all supported by the ZXUR 9000 GSM,
and supports 6 modes (7.95, 7.4, 6.7, 5.9, 5.15, and 4.75 kbit/s) that are all supported by
the ZXUR 9000 GSM (only 7.95 kbit/s is supported at IP Abis).
AMR speech codec can adaptively select the best channel mode (full rate or half rate)
and signal source coding mode (differentiated by bit rate) based on radio channel and
transmission condition, to provide the best compromise between speech quality and
system capacity.

Chapter 2 Service
2.1.5 ZGO-01-01-004 Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband (AMR-WB)

Prerequisite
Context
The Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband (AMR-WB) is a broadband voice coding standard (also
called the G722.2 standard) is used by the international standardized organization (ITU-T)
and 3GPP.
The AMR-WB provides voice bandwidth whose frequency ranges from 50 Hz to 7000 Hz,
and performs sampling at the frequency of 16 Hz.
Compared with AMR-NB that supports the voice bandwidth (with the frequency ranging
from 300 Hz to 3400 Hz) and performing sampling at 8 KHz, the AMR-WB enables users

2.2 Data Service

2.2.1 ZGB-01-02-001 Quality of Service (QoS)
Prerequisite
Context
When the GSM network evolves to GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN), the
high-speed packet data transmission capability brought by the EDGE enables operators to
provide subscribers with richer and more colorful services, such as conversational service,
streaming service, interactive service, and background service.
The ZXUR 9000 GSM supports various service quality requirements, that is, Quality of
Service (QoS), for different services.
The QoS is categorized by sensitivity of service delay: conversation sensitive to delay but
background insensitive to delay.
After introducing the QoS, the operator can further classify customer groups by the QoS,
and determine different subscriber levels, decide different service prices to increase
income in accordance with different QoS levels, and allocate radio resources based on
the QoS type to enjoy high-quality services.

2.2.2 ZGO-01-02-001 Support ARP in Packet Scheduling

Prerequisite
Context
The PS scheduling algorithm is to meet the requirements of UMTS QoS.
When the shared radio-block resources need to be assigned to the dedicated radio-block
resources to ensure the rate requirements, BSC calculates and allocates weight in
accordance with the UMTS QoS.
Different service can obtain proportional radio block resources. If there is no data to be
transmitted, the radio block resources can be used by other service, and ARP can adjust
the weight allocation of the radio blocks shared. The parameters in the ARP are related
to user attributes.
Scheduling is a reassignment process, improving the experience of high-priority users

rather than the system performance and the entire system traffic.

The preemption and queuing feature of packet service is introduced in the Release 6
protocol.
If radio resource is low, the service with higher priority that is allowed for preemption can
preempt the radio resource occupied by the service with lower priority.
If the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) parameter of the Packet Flow Context (PFC)
service allows queuing and preemption and cannot get sufficient radio resource, the
service can wait for the radio resource that meets QoS requirements by queuing.

2.2.6 ZGO-01-02-005 Flexible EGPRS Scheduling Priority

This feature can improve the rate for EGPRS users when EGPRS and General Packet
Radio Service (GPRS) multiplex on the same Packet Data Channel (PDCH), to enable
EGPRS users to have better service experience and enjoy improved total channel rate.
Prerequisite
The EDGE feature is supported by cells.
2-22

Chapter 2 Service
Context
To realize this feature, the operator can set the weight of channel occupation for Enhanced
Data rates for GSM Evolution EDGE users. Therefore, setting a large weight for EGPRS
occupation can lead to a high peak rate of the timeslot, and it is the same case for the
average rate. This method can improve channel utilization and the rate of EGPRS user.
When EGPRS and GPRS users multiplex the same PDCH, the Packet Control Unit (PCU)
uses this weight that is effective for both uplink and downlink TBFs during scheduling.
l For example, assume that a downlink EGPRS user and a downlink GPRS user
multiplex the same timeslot. Then, if the weight is 50%, the two TBFs occupy the
same data block on this timeslot and the peak rate of the timeslot is 59.2 (EGPRS
peak rate) × 50% + 20 (GPRS peak rate) × 50% = 39.6 kpbs.
l If the weight is 80%, the peak rate of the timeslot is 59.2 (EGPRS peak rate )× 80%
+ 20 (GPRS peak rate) × 20% = 51.4 kpbs.
For the scenario where multiple EGPRS users and multiple GPRS users multiplex the
same channel, the weight is equivalent to the occupation weight of all EGPRS users on
this channel.
The final weight of a certain user on the channel depends on ARP, C/I, and service weight.
For descriptions of the ARP, C/I, and service weight, refer to ZGO-01-02-001 Support ARP
in Packet Scheduling, ZGO-01-02-002 C/I based Packet Scheduling, and ZGO-01-02-003

4. Select Support [1] from the Support resource optimizing by service list.
2.2.8 ZGO-01-02-009 Traffic Based PDCH Expansion

Prerequisite
Context
A great deal of data and signaling is transmitted due to the randomness of the packet
service itself, such as the periodical updating of the route area.

4.1.3 ZGB-03-01-004 Immediate TCH Assignment

Prerequisite
Context
This feature provides another choice for initial access of the MS:
l If an initial call is emergent, the TCH channel is immediately allocated to reduce call
setup time.
l If the call setup cause is call response, request, or re-setup, the SDCCH will be
allocated firstly. However, if the SDCCH is congested, the TCH will be allocated firstly.
Immediate TCH assignment can enable the operator to more flexibly assign radio resource
and set up radio links, enable radio resources in the cell to be more effective, and simplify
cell configuration, and enable users to access to the cell more quickly.
This feature can reduce congestion and increase call completion rate.

8. Select Yes [1] from the Emergency call allowed list, and select Yes [1] from the
Allowed FACCH call setup after emergency call list.
4.2.4 ZGB-03-02-004 Dynamic Allocation

Context
During dynamic allocation, the network allocates the value of special user state flag (USF),
representing available timeslots, to the user, rather than allocates a special timeslot for the
user ahead. As such, in the downlink, the network sends a USF value for each radio data
block.
The USF value will specifiy which MS can use the radio data block on the corresponding
uplink timeslot. By checking the USF value received on downlink, the MS can reasonably
arrange its uplink transmission.
The USF value contains 3 digits (including 8 possible values), so up to 8 MSs can enjoy
the same uplink timeslot during dynamic allocation.
Meanwhile, when more PDCHs are required to carry PS service, one MS also can apply
for up to 8 PDCHs and the system may allocate idle TCH/F as PDCH.
Dynamically converted PDCH is only allocated to GPRS subscribers temporarily, after a

dynamic PDCH becomes idle, it will be placed into idle list and the clock is started. If no
data is transferred during some time, this PDCH is converted to dynamical TCH/F channel.
Using dynamic allocation channel can transfer packet data within the interval of speech
channel, to improve channel utilization.

on RF signal and transmitted data.
l CS-1
This code is used to detect and revise the errors with the highest level. When
interference is too strong or signal is weak, this scheme can ensure that the data is
not required to re-transmit frequently. CS-1 detection and coding reduce the data
rate to a half. Data throughput rate of this code can reach 9.05 kbps.
l CS-2
This error detection and coding scheme is used for better channels, and uses 2/3
coding effectively to reach 13.4 kbps data throughput rate (including RLC/MAC
header).
l CS-3
This code effectively uses 3/4 coding, its data throughput rate up to 15.6 kbps.
l CS-4
This code is used in the case of strong signal and low interference. Its data throughput
rate can reach 21.4 kbps without error correction. If using all timeslot 8, the data
throughput rate can reach 171.2 kbps.
Through coding scheme, it can provide multiple data links with different rates between the
MS and a site, to increase subscriber QoS.

4.4.4 ZGF06-04-002 PRACH Collision Handling

Context
If there are multiple MSs connected to the network, these MSs may use same PRACH
and conflict occurs. At this time, the system can handle it and ensure MS accesses to the
network properly.
This feature can increase call success rate, to enhance network performance.
4.4.5 ZGB-03-05-005 8/11 bit Access Burst

Prerequisite
Context
GPRS supports two kinds of packet random access bursts: 8 bit standard access burst
and 11 bit extended packet random access burst.
This feature can reduce C/I requirements in radio transmission environment and enhance
PRACH access success rate.

4.4.6 ZGB-03-05-006 Class A, B, C mobile stations

Context
Based on connected GSM and GPRS resource conditions and terminal capacity, GPRS
terminal can be categorized into three types.
l Class A: The MS can attach to both GPRS and GSM networks, and can do both packet
switching service and circuit switching service at the same time.
l Class B: The MS can attach to both GPRS and GSM networks, but can not do both
packet switching service and circuit switching service at the same time. A Class B MS
can initiate or receive speech call, transmit or receive SMS during GPRS connection.
During call or SMS session, GPRS service pauses, but it can automatically connect
again after call or SMS session is ended.
4-31

l Class C: The MS can not attach to both GPRS and GSM networks at the same time,
and only can select one from GPRS service and circuit switching service. The one
unselected is disconnected and the subscriber shall manually connect.
The subscriber can select proper terminal based on different service demands.
The DTM feature shall be enabled for the network while Class A terminal does speech and
packet data services simultaneously.
4.4.7 ZGB-03-05-007 One Phase Access

Context
One phase access can reduce signal flow and accelerate the packet access.
If the requested RLC is in AM (Acknowledge Mode) and the data to be transmitted are no
greater than 8 RLC/MAC blocks, one phase access will be applied directly. In general,
the terminal requests one phase access when establishing TBF transmission paging
response, cell update and MM layer messages.
Follow-Up Action
Two Phase Access.
4.4.8 ZGB-03-05-009 Network Mode of Operation (NMO) 1~3

Prerequisite
Context
The ZXG10 BSS supports three network operation modes:
l Network Operation Mode I
Network can send CS paging messages to a GPRS-attached MS through GPRS
paging channel (such as packet paging channel or CCCH paging channel) or GPRS
service channel. This means the terminal only needs to manage paging channels.
When the terminal is allocated to a packet service channel, the channel will accept
CS paging messages.
l Network Operation Mode II
The network sends CS paging messages to GPRS-attached MS through CCCH
paging channel that also can be used as GPRS paging. It means that the terminal
only has to manage the CCCH paging channel. When the MS is assigned to a packet
data channel, the CS paging service will still be sent on the CCCH paging channel.
l Network Operation Mode III
4-32

The network can send CS paging messages to a GPRS-attached MS through CCCH

paging channel, while it can send GPRS paging messages on packet paging channel
(if it is assigned in this cell) and CCCH paging channel. It means if the terminal
wants to receive paging messages from both CS and PS, the user shall manage two
channels when packet paging channel is allocated for the cell. The network does not
execute parallel paging that means one channel is used to send CS and PS paging
messages.
Depending on the operation mode provided by the network, MS can determine whether
GPRS service attachment, GPRS service, or both are required.
Steps
2. Select a parameter to modify, and click . The BSS Function PS tab is displayed,
see Figure 4-46.

4. Enter a parameter in the Net operation mode box.
4.4.9 ZGB-03-05-010 GPRS non-DRX Mode

Prerequisite
Context
The ZXG10 BSS supports GPRS non-DRX mode. When paging MS through network,
paging message is transmitted through CCCH or PCCH.
Under the DRX mode, paging signal only can be transmitted under some multi-frames.
Under the non-DRX mode, the network can quickly find the MS through paging flow,
increase the speed and shorten reaction time.
Steps
and double-click NC2 Configuration under GPRS Configuration. The NC2

4.4.10 ZGB-03-05-011 Timeslot Multiplexing

Context
GPRS uses different timeslot allocation policies from that for speech.
4-35

Downlink and uplink are allocated simultaneously in speech timeslot and specially used
by a MS until this timeslot is released after call ends. However, GPRS timeslot performs
uplink and downlink allocation based on transmission demands. One timeslot can be used
by multiple MSs to maximize timeslot efficiency.
Different timeslot allocation policies for GPRS service can enable multiple subscribers to
share a channel.
4.4.11 ZGB-03-05-012 GPRS Link Adaptation

Prerequisite
Context
GPRS link adaptation adjusts RLC link according to RLC link BER.
Link adaptation dynamically adjust coding scheme by connection quality. If link quality is
poor, users can use higher detection and correction scheme.
If link quality is good, users can use lower detection and correction scheme to obtain the
max data throughput rate.
This feature can increase data transmission efficiency.
Steps

4-36

4. Select Yes [1] from the GPRS phones init. Code can be changed list.
4.4.12 ZGB-03-05-013 Delayed TBF Release in DL

Prerequisite
Context
This feature means the TBF is not released immediately after the downlink data is
transmitted for the MS, but maintain this TBF for some time.
For PS subscriber, to frequently establish and release TBF may consume lots of system
processing capability and to establish TBF requires certain time, so most PS services will
be greatly affected, such as web browsing and online game. To reduce the number of
4-37

TBF establishment and increase average throughput of terminal subscriber, the feature of
delayed TBF release is adopted.
l If there is new downlink LLC data to be transmitted, the data can be transmitted
through delayed TBF release and TBF need not be re-established, so saving the time
to establish downlink TBF, reducing delay, and increasing downlink throughput.
l If there is uplink data to be transmitted, uplink TBF can be established on downlink
PACCH, and it is unnecessary to access from CCCH; this can reduce the delay to
establish uplink TBF and increase the throughput of uplink TBF.
4.4.13 ZGB-03-05-014 Delayed TBF Release in UL

Prerequisite
Context
This feature means that the TBF is not released immediately after the uplink data is
transmitted for the MS, but maintain this TBF for some time.
For PS subscriber, to frequently establish and release TBF may consume lots of system
processing capability and to establish TBF requires certain time, so most PS services will
be greatly affected, such as web browsing and online game. To reduce the number of
TBF establishment and increase average throughput of terminal subscriber, the feature of
delayed TBF release is adopted.
If there is downlink data to be transmitted, downlink TBF can be established on uplink
PACCH, and it is unnecessary to access from CCCH; this can speed up establishment of
downlink TBF, reducing the delay to establish downlink TBF.
4.4.14 ZGB-03-05-015 RLC Acknowledged/Unacknowledged Mode

Prerequisite
l Subscription parameters are configured at the CN side.
Context
During the transmission of RLC data block, the system supports RLC acknowledged mode.
The RLC Acknowledged mode is described as follows: each time a RLC data block is
transmitted, the receiver needs to acknowledge the receipt of the RLC data block; if the
4-38

receiver does not receive the RLC data correctly, the transmitter needs to re-transmit the
data, thus ensuring the reliability of transmission.
For RLC unacknowledged mode, there is no retransmission mechanism.
RLC acknowledged mode improves the transmission reliability of RLC data block.
4.4.15 ZGB-03-05-016 BVC Flow Control (in DL)

This feature avoids system overload and congestion, improves system reliability, and
keeps smooth service offered.
Context
The principle of BSSGP flow control is: BSS transmits flow control parameter to SGSN.
The parameter enables SGSN locally control its transmission output in the direction of
SGSN to PCU.
Flow control mechanism controls BSS LLC PDU queuing load in each BVC between
PCU and SGSN in the direction of downlink, preventing from connection congestion and
increasing service quality.
Each BVC in PCU has a downlink buffer. PCU provides SGSN flow control parameters,
such as max buffer size per BVC cell, cell leakage rate, default MS buffer size, and default
MS leakage rate. Based on this, SGSN can control transmitting rate to avoid BVC buffer
overflow for PCU and lifecycle overtime for LLC frame.
Steps
see Figure 4-55.
4-39

4. Enter a parameter in the Bvc flow control period box as required.

4.4.16 ZGB-03-05-017 MS Flow Control (in DL)

This feature avoids system overload and congestion, improves system stability, and keeps
smooth service offered.
Prerequisite
Context
The principle of BSSGP flow control is: BSS transmits flow control parameter to SGSN.
The parameter enables SGSN locally control its transmission output in the direction of
SGSN to PCU.
Flow control mechanism controls BSS LLC PDU queuing load in each BVC between
PCU and SGSN in the direction of downlink, preventing from connection congestion and
increasing service quality.

4. Enter a parameter in the MS flow control period box as required.
4.4.17 ZGO-03-05-001 Modulation and Coding Scheme #1~#9

Prerequisite
l The EDGE feature supported by cells is enabled.
4-41

Context
The modulation and coding scheme MCS1~MCS9 is introduced to EGPRS, where MCS1
and MCS4 use Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) method, and MCS5~MCS9 use
8PSK modulation method.
MCS1~MCS9 modulation and coding schemes can enhance the performance of packet
data transmission in poor radio environment, greatly increase data throughput, and
implement high-speed data service in existing GSM/GPRS network.
Steps

4-42

4. Select Yes [1] from the EGPRS phones init. Code can be changed list.
4.4.18 ZGO-03-05-002 EGPRS Link Adaptation

Prerequisite
Context
This feature indicates that the BSC selects new modulation and coding methods for the
next content to be transmitted based on periodic measurement report of downlink quality,
and the system selects the most suitable coding mode based on the performance and
feature of current links.
This feature can remove the slow fading of signal, to increase the throughput of the current
channel.
Steps
4-43


4. Select Yes [1] from the EGPRS phones init. Code can be changed list.
4-44

4.4.19 ZGO-03-05-003 EGPRS Packet Channel Request on CCCH

Prerequisite
Context
This feature is used to describe one phase access process to set up
uplink TBF for EDGE MS, in which one phase access is implemented by
EGPRS_PACKET_CHANNEL_REQUEST message sent by EDGE MS.
This feature can reduce network access time for the MS.
Steps

4-45

4. Select Yes [1] from the EGPRS packet channel request access program support
list.
4.4.20 ZGO-03-05-004 EGPRS Window Sizes Adaptation

Context
EGPRS can define proper window size to re-transmit data based on the number of
timeslots allocated by the MS in accordance with different timeslot capabilities, ranging
from 64 X RLC for a service timeslot to 1024 X RLC for 8 service timeslots.
This feature can relieve the influence on data throughput due to rapid movement.
4.4.21 ZGO-03-05-005 Incremental Redundancy in DL

Prerequisite
The MS supports incremental redundancy in downlink.
Context
Incremental redundancy is one mode to control the quality of EDGE link. In this mode,
when MS succeeds in decoding RLC header but fails to decode a data block, the MS
stores the undecoded data block and informs the BTS.
4-46

The BTS uses another perforation mode to encode data block and retransmit it, and the
MS can separately decode the data block retransmitted; if failed, it can decode it based on
the data block that is failed to decoded and received previously.
The data block encoded by different perforation modes contains various redundancy
information, and redundancy information grows after association, so the probability to
succeed in decoding is increased.
By default, this feature is enabled, and configuration is not required by Netnumen.
4.4.22 ZGO-03-05-006 Incremental Redundancy in UL

Prerequisite
Context
Incremental redundancy is one mode to control the quality of EDGE link. In this mode,
when the BTS succeeds in decoding RLC header but fails to decode a data block, the
BTS stores the undecoded data block and informs the MS.
The MS uses another perforation mode to encode data block and retransmit it, and the
BTS can separately decode the data block retransmitted; if failed, it can decode it based
on the data block that is failed to decoded and received previously.
This feature can reduce delay, add throughput, and improve customer satisfaction.

4.4.23 ZGO-03-05-008 Enhanced Multi-timeslot Support

Prerequisite
The MS supports multiple timeslots.
Context
The ZXUR 9000 GSM supports enhanced capability of multiple timeslots about PS service.
Up to 5 timeslots can be allocated for downlink and its rate can be 296 Kbps.
Faster transmission rate can obviously improve customer perception on FTP file
transmission and mail service.

5.1 Coverage Enhancement

5.1.1 ZGB-04-01-002 Support Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA)
Context
The ZXG10 BSS supports connecting to an outdoor Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA), and
provides the alarm function for the TMA and the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) of antennas.
The TMA can effectively enhance the receiver sensitivity of the BTS and thus increase the
coverage of the BTS.
This feature is implemented by the equipment, and no configuration is required for it in the
EMS.
5.1.2 ZGO-04-01-001 Extended Cell Coverage

Low-cost seamless coverage can be achieved in a large territory with a sparse population
(e.g. highway) by means of this feature.
The area previously covered by three common sites can be covered by a base station
configured with an extended sector. This feature is especially applicable in some special
territories, such as on the sea.
Prerequisite
Context
The coverage radius of GERAN is limited to 35 km because GSM protocol defines the
value restriction of TA. ZXG10 BSS supports larger coverage radius by using the transmit
power of 80W and binding dual TA timeslots.
This feature can extend the coverage radius of a base station from 35 km to 121 km in
some areas, e.g. desert or ocean.

5.1.3 ZGO-04-01-006 Power Dynamic Sharing

This feature enables the carriers of a multi-carrier site to configure a maximum transmit
power larger than the average value obtained by dividing total PA power to the number of
carriers if the maximum PA transmit power is not exceeded.
This feature can enhance the coverage and reduce the cost.
5-4

Context
The multi-carrier dynamic power sharing technology means that the PA output power of
the multiple carriers in a multi-carrier site can be shared among the carriers.
The BCCH carrier power uses static configuration. Non-BCCH carrier power uses dynamic
power assignment based on power control algorithm.
Because each non-BCCH carrier does not always use the maximum allowed transmit
power for transmission, this technology enables the power redundancy of each non-BCCH
carrier to be dynamically shared among non-BCCH carriers.
1. In case of multi-carrier combination or one RRU corresponding to multiple cells, this
feature is not supported.
2. The RU02 does not support this feature.
3. For SDR BSs, the versions later than V4.00.30 support this feature.

5.1.4 ZGO-04-01-008 Multi Timeslot Supported in Extended Cell

This feature can increase data throughput rate. Especially in rural areas, the data service
capacity can be significantly improved.
Prerequisite
Context
The principles of this feature are as follows:
After the extended cell function is enabled, the cell coverage can increase to 121 kilometers
from 35 kilometers.
The operation mode of extended cell requires two downlink timeslots and one uplink
timeslot. Many GPRS/EGPRS MSs support four downlink timeslots and two uplink
timeslots. Therefore, in extended cells, the multi-timeslot function can be supported.
The following figure gives an example. The MS supports the multi-timeslot function of
class 12. If the multi-timelsot allocation function of extended cell is enabled, the MS's data
throughput rate is doubled, as shown in Figure 5-10.

5.2 Network Quality Improvement

5.2.1 ZGB-04-02-001 Traffic Hold at Channel Blocking
Prerequisite
Context
This function can enhance the network performance and reduce the call drops due to
system maintenance.
If the cells, carriers or TCH slots to be manual blocked are carrying traffics, by a mandatory
handover to other TCH slots in order to hold the ongoing calls without interruption, the
manual block will be delayed. You can specify the delay length for manual block. If the
delay expires, a mandatory release is carried on the unsuccessfully handover calls. During
the delay, the applied new services will not be assigned to the cells, carriers or TCH slots
waiting to be blocked. The block takes effect until no services are on the cells, carriers or
TCH slots to be blocked.
5-9

If only block TCH slots or some individual TRXs, calls will be handed over to other
unblocked TRXs of the same cell. If block the whole cell, calls will have to be handed
over to the best neighboring cell.
While the channel is blocked by mistake, the call on the channel will be released.

5.2.3 ZGO-04-02-003 Discontinuous Transmission Downlink

Context
During communication, only 40% time is used to conversation for both parties.
This feature indicates that the site does not send sampling speech frame and send few
comfortable noise while the subscriber is in conversation status but no speech message
is delivered. At other time, the site is closed.
This feature can reduce co-frequency interference and save system resource, to improve
speech quality, and reduce the operation time of transmitting device and its power
consumption.
Steps

5.2.5 ZGO-04-02-006 TFO

Context
This feature indicates that two TCs (transcoder) perform in-band negotiation for the current
Codec after cell establishment, preventing from unnecessary speech coding conversion in
Tthe C unit at transmitting side and receiving side between two MSs.
This feature can improve voice quality, reduce transmission delay, and prevent from service
quality degraded and system overload caused by coding.
Steps

4. Select Yes[1] from the TFO Enable list.

5.2.6 ZGO-04-02-007 AMR Radio Link Timers

Context
The ZXG10 BSS supports different parameter settings of radio link timer for AMR and
non-AMR coding call.
AMR coding channel has stronger interference resistance than SACCH channel, so longer
value of radio link timer can reduce the call drop rate in whole network, to increase the
channel usage under different coding modes.
Reversely, speech channel may be released improperly due to timer timeout if a shorter
timer parameter is used for both AMR and non-AMR conversations.
Steps

radio link timer’s max value for AMR HR boxes respectively as required.
5.2.7 ZGO-04-02-008 AMR Power Control

Context
As AMR is a stronger way of voice coding/decoding, it can provide the same voice quality
as other voice codecs in a worse interference environment. This means a mobile station
that uses AMR can run with a smaller transmission power than other mobile stations that
do not use AMR.
The ZXUR 9000 GSM uses different control parameters for AMR and non-AMR, to
implement individual adjustment of power control on AMR terminal.
These control parameters contain uplink/downlink level & quality threshold, max and min
power level, increase/decrease step, and interval.

5.2.8 ZGO-04-02-009 Repeated FACCH/SACCH

Context
AMR coding has higher robustness, so it can operate properly in the case of lower C/I
value. Therefore, in the network supporting AMR, the performance of FACCH and SACCH
becomes a bottleneck of system performance.
Using repeated SACCH and FACCH can greatly increase the possibility to decode signal
messages, and enable signal channel and service channel normally working with same C/I
value, to reach the performance matched with control channel and AMR service channel.
For FACCH retransmission, depending on downlink measurement report, BSS

re-transmits FACCH block after sending the FACCH block with the first instance of
LAPDm if receiving signal level is lower than threshold.
For the MS with FACCH retransmission capability, BSS can re-transmit command frame
or response frame of LAPDm; for the MS without the capability, BSS only can re-transmit
LAPDm command frame.
For SACCH retransmission, in the direction of downlink, if SACCH decoding fails for the
MS, the MS sends a SACCH Repetition Request to the network.
After re-transmitting SACCH messages, first decode transmission block.
If failure continues, it can decode it with last SACCH. In the direction of uplink, if SACCH
decoding fails at network side, it may send a SACCH Repetition Request to the MS. After
re-transmitting SACCH messages, first decode transmission block. If failure continues, it
can decode it with last SACCH.
FACCH/SACCH Repetition can improve the performance of FACCH/SACCH channel,

success rate of signal decoding and handover, and reduce call drops.
Steps

5-23

4. Select Yes [1] from the Repeated ACCH support list.

5.2.9 ZGO-04-02-010 Automatic Level Control (ALC)

Amplitude of voice signal is kept within certain range, the subscriber can obtain better
conversation perception, to increase user satisfaction.
Context
TC volume control is used in voice signal transmission. When voice amplitude is too high
or low, TC volume control does a reverse gain processing on this signal, so the fluctuation
range of output voice signal is controlled within a reasonable range.
TC volume control can differentiate among noise, echo, and useful signal, and performs
level control only for valid voice signals.
This feature is supported by default.
5.2.10 ZGO-04-02-011 Automatic Noise Reduction (ANR)

This feature can improve perception quality of the signal with noise, and increase the
stability of speech codec in noise environment and the stability of input noise from speech
recognition system.
Context
Noise suppression feature of the ZXUR 9000 GSM is implemented in TC and
pre-processes speech data for downlink coding to suppress background noise in
conversation.

5.2.11 ZGO-04-02-012 Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC)

Context
This can restrict and remove the echo in mobile conversation.
Peer subscriber can feel the better voice quality.
This feature can reduce the echo in the conversation line, and is supported by default.
5.2.12 ZGO-04-02-013 Frequency Offset Compensation

Prerequisite
Context
Doppler effect means the signal received by MS generates certain offset on the basis of
TX signal frequency on the site while the MS moves relative to the site.
The positive frequency offset occurs if MS moves to the site and the negative frequency
offset occurs if MS moves away the site.
The proper movement speed has little influence on the GSM system and can be skipped.
However, in the scenario with high-speed railway, the typical downlink frequency offset is
291 Hz based on Doppler effect if the speed reaches 350 km/h and GSM system frequency
is 900 MHz.
Because the MS may lock the site frequency and adjust its own transmitting frequency,
the site may receive double frequency offset. Therefore, the site shall use frequency offset
compensation technology and enable its capability up to 600 Hz.

5.2.13 ZGO-04-02-014 Extended Uplink TBF Mode

This feature can effectively improve the performance of interactive services (such as online
game playing and webpage browsing).
Prerequisite
Context
Before introducing extended uplink TBF mode, the release of uplink TBF is originated by
MS through countdown process.
After this mode is introduced, the release is controlled by network. This means that
for some TBF bearing interactive data service, such as online game playing, PoC,
and webpage browsing, TBF can be unreleased for a time when no data is delivered
temporally.
When there is data being transmitted, this TBF can still be used to avoid frequency
TBF setup and release. This effectively reduces signaling load and improves the relay
performance of service.

the indoor macro base station B8018 supports the configuration of 18 carriers in a single
rack, as well as the configuration of a rack shared by two frequencies. When using
such base stations to construct a dual-frequency network, one can configure up to 18
frequencies after activating six sectors.
This feature supports more flexible configuration for network construction, and applies to
urban areas with increasing service loads, in some regions with high service capacity or
during network optimization.
This feature is implemented by the equipment, and no configuration in the EMS is required

6.2.6 ZGO-05-02-009 Concentric Circle Technology

Prerequisite
Context
The concentric circle technology divides a common cell into two areas: outer layer and
inner layer.
The outer layer covers traditional cells, providing common channels (BCCH/CCCH) and
absorbing the traffic at the periphery of the base station; while the inner layer covers the
area near the base station, specially absorbing the high traffic near the base station.
Two concentric circle technologies are commonly used: common concentric circle
technology and intelligent dual-layer concentric circle. These two technologies provide
different transmit power at the inner layer and different handover algorithm between the
inner and the outer layers.
In a common concentric circle, the transmit power on the inner layer is lower than that on
the outer layer. The handover algorithm is based on power and distance.
In an intelligent dual-layer concentric circle, the maximum transmit power on the inner layer
can be equal to that on the outer layer. The handover algorithm is based on C/I.

7.1.8 ZGO-06-01-003 BSC LMT

Context
The Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) of the ZXUR 9000 GSM provides a user-friendly
GUI for local configuration and maintenance, helping users to locate faults and do
troubleshooting.
The LMT provides a comprehensive and effective mode for maintaining NEs.
for it.
7.1.9 ZGO-06-01-004 MS Specification Collection

Context
The ZXUR 9000 GSM can provide statistical data for mobile stations in existing network,
such as AMR, DTM, multi-class, or SAIC feature. That is to say, the BSC can get proper
information through uplink or downlink messages and measure whether the called MS
supports AMR, DTM, multi-class, or SAIC feature.
The operator can enable the MS to obtain the capability of supporting AMR, DTM,
multi-class, or SAIC through the BSC, to properly adjust the network functions and thus
improve the network quality.
This feature is implemented by the equipment itself.
7.1.10 ZGO-06-01-005 Massive Measurement Report

Prerequisite
Context
During a call, an MS sends a measurement report to the BTS through SACCH and
measures the downlink.
The BTS measures the uplink and sends the measurement report submitted by the MS
and its own report to the BSC, which generates a complete measurement report. The
submission period of the measurement report is 480 ms.
The measurement report contains the information of uplink/downlink signal level, signal
quality, path loss, TA and power level of the MS, the power level of the BTS, variable
indicative digit of BA, DTX use indication in current cell, and the signal level, BCCH, and
BSIC of up to six adjacent cells.
The ZXUR 9000 GSM supports the MR collection feature and sends the original MR data
to the MR server via CDR interface, to implement the second analysis based on the MR
data.
7-7

The MR data is based on the real call of each subscriber in existing network, which
accurately and completely reflects the actual quality of whole network.
Steps
7-8

Chapter 7 Others
4. Select Yes[1] from the MR Report Enable list.

7.1.11 ZGO-06-01-006 Call Trace System Interface

Context
The Call Trace System (CTS) is a system crossing 2G/3G NEs from the radio side to the
core network, to implement the call trace function for all subscribers of radio and core
network equipment in the entire network.
The CTS uniformly delivers trace commands to the OMM of each NE. The OMM forwards
the commands to corresponding NE. Then the NE reports standard signaling and internal
messages to the OMM, to transfer the signaling and messages to the CTS.
The CTS shows and analyzes the signaling and messages that meet the required
conditions. The NEs that can be traced by the CTS include HLR/MSC/SGSN/BSC/RNC,
supporting CS-PS and CTS-OMM connections.
This feature is an enhanced copy for traditional signal trace function that only supports
single NE, helping users to easily locate faults and exceptions.
for it.
7.1.12 ZGO-06-01-008 Call Detail Trace(CDT)

Prerequisite
Context
The Call Detail Trace (CDT), also called Call Detail Log (CDL) or Call Data/Detail Record
(CDR), involves the records that reflect not only the situation of each subscriber, but also
the situation of the whole network.
7-9

The CDT is provided in the unit of BSC. If the CDT function is enabled, all calls or events
related to the BSC in the whole network can be recorded.
This feature contains two functional modules: CDT data collection and CDT data analysis.
Steps
7-10

Chapter 7 Others
4. Select Yes[1] from the CDT support list.

7.2 Security
7.2.1 ZGB-06-02-001 Support of A5/1 and A5/2 Ciphering Algorithm
Prerequisite
Context
The ZXG10 iBSS supports both A5/1 and A5/2 ciphering algorithms. A5/2 is the simplified
version of A5/1 whose output is controlled.
This feature enables the messages transmitted from radio interface by subscribers to be
encrypted, to ensure the security and stability of services.
Steps
7-11

7-12

Chapter 7 Others

7.2.2 ZGO-06-02-001 A5/3 Ciphering

Prerequisite
Context
GSM protocols specifies eight A5 ciphering algorithms, including A5/0 (no cipher), A5/1,
A5/2 (weak version of A5/1), A5/3, A5/4, A5/5, A5/6 and A5/7. At present, A5/1 and A5/2
are commonly used.
A5/1 and A5/2 provides stream ciphers to ensure the security of radio voices. A5/1 is a
strong algorithm used in Europe; while A5/2 is a weak algorithm used in the other countries.
Because A5/2 ciphers have been decrypted, GSM association allows all countries to apply
for the A5/1 algorithm and operators also would like to use the A5/1 algorithm.
To further improve the security, 3GPP R6 provides a new algorithm A5/3. The A5/3
algorithm, based on packet cipher KASUMI, supports encryption keys with the length
from 64 bits to 128 bits. The mobile phones launched after 2007 already supported A5/3.
Steps

Chapter 7 Others

7.2.3 ZGO-06-02-002 Random Fill Bits

This feature enhances user security of A5 ciphering algorithm and reduces wiretapping
risks for users.
Prerequisite
Context
From 3GPP R6, it is required that LAPDm L2 fill bits be random values. For details, refer
to 3GPP TS 44.006,5.2. In R5 and previous versions, the fill bits use a fixed value, 0x2B.
For specific settings of the random values, refer to 3GPP TS 44.018.
Using random values to fill LAPDm L2 can reduce the quantity of known messages
transmitted on downlink air interface. This makes A5 ciphering algorithm, especially A5/1,
more difficult to be decoded and reduces the wiretapping risk.
The random fill bits can be used individually on downlink and uplink. BSS controls the
downlink direction and MS controls the uplink direction.
Steps
7-15

7-16

Chapter 7 Others
4. Select yes, meaning that random values can be filled[1]from the L2 frame of
Lapdm fill random value list.
