Organization
1 Changes in BSS Reconfiguration Guide(Based on LMT)
This provides the changes of the BSS Reconfiguration Guide(Based on LMT).
2 Overview of BSS Reconfiguration
This describes the definition of BSS reconfiguration, the principles of data reconfiguration, and
the process of validating the reconfiguration data.
3 Changing Reciprocal Relations Between Cells
If some neighboring cells of a cell are redundant or missing, the services between cells may lose
the balance. In this case, you need to delete or add neighboring cells of this cell. If call drops
occur frequently when the MSs in a cell are handed over to a neighboring cell, you need to set
the related parameters of reciprocal relations between cells.
4 Adjusting TRX Assignment
To balance traffic volumes in different cells without adding hardware resources, you can release
the TRX resources in the low-traffic cell, and then assign the TRX resources to the high-traffic
cell.
5 Changing TRX Frequencies
You need to change the frequencies of TRXs to avoid co-channel interference or adjacent-
channel interference.
6 Modifying Channel Attributes
This describes how to modify channel attributes. Channel attributes need to be modified when
new services, such as the half rate function and the SDCCH dynamic assignment function, are
available. Channel attributes are modified to optimize network performance.
7 Configuring Cell Parameters in Batches
You can modify network optimization parameters, such as the parameters of frequencies, power
control, and power level, for multiple cells at a time.
8 Changing the Abis Timeslot Assignment Mode
If the BTS uses TDM mode, the requirement of timeslots changes as the BTS traffic increases.
In this case, you can change the Abis timeslot assignment mode to improve the utilization of the
Abis timeslot resources.
9 Manually Assigning Abis Timeslots
If the BTS uses the TDM transmission mode, Abis timeslots should be assigned when the BTS,
cells, TRXs, idle timeslots, or monitoring timeslots are added or modified. The Abis timeslots
can be automatically assigned by the BSC or manually assigned if required.
10 Switching Networking Mode of Boards

iv Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Issue 04 (2010-05-20)

HUAWEI BSC6000 Base Station Subsystem
BSS Reconfiguration Guide(Based on LMT) About This Document

You can switch the networking mode of boards to improve the reliability of BSC boards and
increase data redundancy.
11 Moving a BTS Within a BSC
If the BSC services are not in balance, you need to adjust the distribution of the hardware
resources. Moving BTSs can help to balance the services.
12 Adjusting a BTS
If the BSC services are not in balance, you need to adjust the distribution of the hardware
resources. BTS adjustment helps to balance the BSC services.
13 Verifying License
After applying for a new license file, you can verify the license file through the BSC6000 Local
Maintenance Terminal in offline mode.
14 Adjusting Satellite Transmission
To overcome the restrictions in remote mountainous areas or sparsely populated plains, the
satellite transmission should be adjusted so that wide coverage, long transmission distance, and
flexible link scheduling can be achieved.
15 Adjusting BTS Combined Cabinets and Cabinet Groups
The area with high traffic volumes requires a large capacity BTS. If one BTS does not meet the
capacity requirements, combined cabinets or cabinet groups should be used.

2.1 Definition of BSS Reconfiguration

BSS reconfiguration involves adding, deleting, and modifying BSS data in online or offline
mode through the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal.
BSS reconfiguration applies to the following scenarios:
l Network optimization
Network optimization involves the adjustment and optimization of the network
performance based on the data that is obtained from performance measurements or drive
tests when the network is in service.
l System capacity expansion
System capacity expansion involves adding hardware to the network or changing
configuration of the network so that the system can provide services to more users.

NOTE

Reconfiguration focuses on the reconfiguration procedures and the data to be prepared. The data analysis
process of network optimization and the number of boards and links for capacity expansion are subject to
actual network conditions.
The reconfiguration can be performed through GUI or MML commands on the operation and maintenance
terminal. This document describes the reconfiguration through GUI.

The BSS reconfiguration can be done on the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal.
When performing BSS reconfiguration in online mode, connect the BSC to the live network so
that the reconfiguration commands are sent to the BSC, BTS, and PCU in real time and the
commands are executed in time. The primary principle of the BSS reconfiguration is to avoid
or minimize the impact on the ongoing services.

NOTE

Do not configure data during the data loading on boards. Ensure that data is configured after all the data
on the GBAM or the GOUM takes effect.

2.2 Principles of BSS Data Configuration

This describes the means and modes of BSS data configuration, as well as the data type and BSS
data check and synchronization.

Means of BSS Data Configuration

BSS data configuration can be performed through GBSS CME, BSC6000 Local Maintenance
Terminal, and Local Maintenance Terminal.

CME provides the data configuration
wizards that involve modifying cell
algorithm parameters in batches and
modifying TRX, frequency hopping,
neighboring relation, swapping BTS,
and 2G/3G interoperability.
l Before performing BSS
reconfiguration through the CME,
synchronize the data of the live
network to the CME as a basis.
l After performing BSS
reconfiguration through the CME,
export the modified configuration
files and load the files on the
network element to validate them.

BSC6000 Local The LMT is the client of the BSC OM BSC LMT User Guide
Maintenance system and is installed with the LMT

Modes of BSS Data Configuration

Data configuration can be done in online or offline mode.

l Online configuration
In online mode, the BSC LMT communicates with the GBAM or the GOMU normally.
Figure 2-1 shows the data configuration process in online mode.

The process of validating the data is as follows:

1. The LMT sends the configuration commands to the configuration module in the
GBAM or the GOMU.
2. On receiving the configuration commands, the configuration module sends the
configuration data to a specific board and also writes the data to the GBAM or the
GOMU.
l Offline configuration
In offline mode, the communication between the LMT and the GBAM or the GOMU is
not established.

1. Configure data on the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal. The automatic check
mechanism of the LMT ensures data integrity and accuracy.
2. The configuration data is saved on the hard disk as a .dat file.
3. Send the *.dat file to the GBAM or the GOMU by performing the Load and Restore
operations on the LMT.
NOTE

MML does not support offline configuration.

Offline configuration does not occupy network bandwidth and is easy to operate. Thus, it is applicable
to initial configuration and network upgrade.

BSS Data Type

BSC Configuration Data Types can be classified by data location or system requirements.

BSS Data Check and Synchronization

Before reconfiguration, you need to perform BSC Data Check and BSC Data Synchronization.
For detailed operations, See Checking Data Consistency.

2.3 Principles of Validating BSS Reconfiguration Data

Configuration response

The process of validating BSS reconfiguration data on the BSC6000 Local Maintenance
Terminal is as follows:
1. The BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal requests the GBAM or the GOMU to back
up the data file.
2. After receiving the request, the GBAM or the GOMU backs up the data file and sends a
backup success message to the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal.
3. After receiving the message, the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal requests the
GBAM or the GOMU to upload the backup data file. The GBAM or the GOMU uploads
the backup data file to the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal.
4. After the backup data file is uploaded, the LMT checks the validity of the data file.
5. If the data file is valid, the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal loads the data file to
the software and starts the main interface of the BSC6000 Local Maintenance
Terminal.
6. The user modifies the BSC configurations on the main interface of the BSC6000 Local
Maintenance Terminal.
7. After the reconfiguration is complete, the LMT sends a configuration command to the
GBAM or the GOMU. The GBAM or the GOMU runs the configuration command and
generates configuration data, which takes effect on each service board.

8. After the GBAM or the GOMU successfully runs the configuration command, it sends a
configuration response message to the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal. The
message contains the validation information of the configuration data on each service board.
When performing reconfiguration on the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal, the data files
on the GBAM or the GOMU will be modified. Therefore, you are advised to Backing Up Sever
Data before reconfiguration.
To restore the configurations, load the backup data file on the BSC6000 Local Maintenance
Terminal to restore the BSC configuration data. Loading the backup data file in online mode
will reset the BSC and disrupt services.
More than one user can simultaneously log in to the GBAM or the GOMU through the BSC6000
Local Maintenance Terminal. When a user logs in to the GBAM or the GOMU through the
BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal, the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal checks
whether the configuration data on the GBAM or the GOMU is changed. The GBAM or the
GOMU allows only one user to perform data reconfiguration on one BSC6000 Local
Maintenance Terminal at a time. When more than one user log in to the GBAM or the GOMU
through the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminals and one user configures data on one
BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal, the remaining BSC6000 Local Maintenance
Terminals check whether the data is changed. If the data is changed, the users need to decide
whether to update local data to ensure data consistency.

NOTE

l When only the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal is started, one BSC supports the login of
multiple BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminals at the same time.
l If the M2000 is connected, one BSC supports the login of 32 BSC6000 Local Maintenance
Terminals.
l If the M2000 is not connected, one BSC supports the login of 33 BSC6000 Local Maintenance
Terminals.

3 Changing Reciprocal Relations Between

Cells

If some neighboring cells of a cell are redundant or missing, the services between cells may lose
the balance. In this case, you need to delete or add neighboring cells of this cell. If call drops
occur frequently when the MSs in a cell are handed over to a neighboring cell, you need to set
the related parameters of reciprocal relations between cells.

Scenario Network optimization

Impact There is no impact on the BSC services.
NEs Involved BSC and BTS

Redundant cell: If cell A is a neighboring cell of cell B, but the services in cell B are never or
rarely handed over to cell A. In this case, cell A is a redundant cell.
Missing cell: If cell A needs to have cell B as its neighboring cell, so that it can hand over some
services to cell B when necessary, but cell B is not configured as a neighboring cell of cell A.
In this case, cell B is a missing cell.
Through the analysis of related performance measurement counters, you can determine whether
a cell is a redundant cell or missing cell of the originating cell.
l Through the analysis of the measurement counter Outgoing Internal Inter-Cell Handover
Measurement per Cell, you can determine whether a cell is a redundant cell of the source
cell.
l Through the analysis of the measurement counter Neighbor Cell Level Measurement per
Cell, you can determine whether a cell is a missing cell of the source cell.

Prerequisite
l The LMT runs normally.
l The communication between the LMT and the BSC is normal.
l The communication between the BTS and the BSC is normal.

Preparation
Table 3-1 lists the data to be negotiated and planned before you change the reciprocal relations
between cells.

Hysteresis same layer. Inter-cell HO Hysteresis is configured to planning
reduce the ping-pong effect. If the cells are in different
layers, this parameter is invalid. Inter-cell HO
Hysteresis should be modified according to handover
performance measurement and network conditions. A
proper setting of Inter-cell HO Hysteresis can
facilitate the handovers between neighboring cells.

Min Access Level A neighboring cell is configured with Min Access Network
Offset Level Offset based on Min DL Level on Candidate planning
Cell. The receive level of a candidate cell must be
greater than Min DL Level on Candidate Cell plus
Min Access Level Offset.

PBGT HO The PBGT handover to a neighboring cell occurs when Network

Threshold the difference between the downlink level of the planning
neighboring cell and that of the serving cell is greater
than PBGT HO Threshold.

BQ HO Margin Set BQ HO Margin to approximately 69 in densely- Network

populated urban areas. Set BQ HO Margin to planning
approximately 72 in suburban areas.
The handover to a neighboring cell occurs when the
following condition is met: downlink level of the
neighboring cell after filtering - downlink level of
the serving cell after power control compensation >
Inter-cell HO Hysteresis - BQ HO Margin + 64. The
services in the serving cell can be handed over to the
neighboring cell whose level is lower than that of the
serving cell after power control compensation when the
following condition is met: Inter-cell HO Hysteresis
- BQ HO Margin + 64 < 0.

Chain Neighbor This parameter determines whether the cell is a chain Network
Cell neighboring cell. YES: chain neighboring cell; NO: planning
non-chain neighboring cell

Category Description Source

Adjacent Cell This parameter determines the hysteresis of an inter- Network

Inter-layer HO layer or inter-priority handover. This parameter is used planning
Hysteresis to avoid inter-layer ping-pong handovers.
Actual Inter-layer HO Threshold of a serving cell =
configured Inter-layer HO Threshold - Inter-layer
HO hysteresis.
Actual Inter-layer HO Threshold of a neighboring cell
= configured Inter-layer HO Threshold + Adjacent

Direct Retry This parameter determines the difference between the Network
Handover Level level of the neighboring cell and that of the serving cell planning
Range in directed retry.

IBCA Neighbor When the neighboring cell of the serving cell is Network
Cell Flag configured, this parameter is set to Yes if the IBCA planning
algorithm needs to consider the interference of the
serving cell and neighboring cell; otherwise, this
parameter is set to No.

IBCA Dynamic When the neighboring cell is configured for the serving Network
Measure Neighbor cell, this parameter is set to Yes if the information about planning
Cell Flag the neighboring cell is not reported in the measurement
report and the interference of the neighboring cell
cannot be ignored; otherwise, this parameter is set to
No. Usually, this parameter of the neighboring cell that
the co-channel interference occurs is set to dynamic
measurement cell. This parameter of the neighboring
cell at layer 2 that the co-channel interference occurs
must be set to Yes.

NOTE

Inter-cell HO Hysteresis, Min Access Level Offset, PBGT HO Threshold, BQ HO Margin, Chain
Neighbor Cell, Adjacent Cell Inter-layer HO Hysteresis, Direct Retry Handover Level Range, IBCA
Neighbor Cell Flag, and IBCA Dynamic Measure Neighbor Cell Flag are used as the supplementary
parameters to reduce call drops during handovers. If call drops are not reduced after these parameters are
set, you need to change the handover data of the related cells. You can use the default settings of these
parameters or set them according to actual requirements.

About This Chapter

This describes how to modify channel attributes. Channel attributes need to be modified when
new services, such as the half rate function and the SDCCH dynamic assignment function, are
available. Channel attributes are modified to optimize network performance.

6.1 Modifying Channel Attributes for TCH-SDCCH Conversion

You can modify channel attributes to achieve the dynamic conversion between the TCH and the
SDCCH and to optimize network performance.
6.2 Modifying Channel Attributes for TCHF-TCHH Conversion
You can modify channel attributes to achieve the dynamic conversion between full-rate TCHs
and half-rate TCHs and to optimize network performance.

6.1 Modifying Channel Attributes for TCH-SDCCH

Conversion
You can modify channel attributes to achieve the dynamic conversion between the TCH and the
SDCCH and to optimize network performance.

Scenario Network optimization

Impact There is no impact on the BSC services.
NEs Involved BSC and BTS

When there is a substantial increase in the number of MSs in a cell, some MSs may not be able
to access the network because they cannot obtain SDCCHs. In this case, you need to convert
some TCHs to SDCCHs to ensure that all the MSs can access the network. When the traffic
volume decreases, the TCHs used as SDCCHs are converted back to TCHs. The dynamic
conversion of SDCCHs can increase the system capacity and reduce the requirement for the
accurate number of required signaling channels.

Before the conversion from the TCHF to the SDCCH is initiated, the number of idle SDCCHs
must be smaller than or equal to Idle SDCCH Threshold N1. In addition, the following
conditions must be met:

l The cell allows the dynamic SDCCH conversion.

l (Number of idle TCHFs + number of idle TCHHs/2) >= 4 or the number of TRXs in the
cell, and the cell must have at least one idle TCHF.
l Current number of SDCCHs in the cell + 8 <= Cell SDCCH Channel Maximum.

The procedure for converting the SDCCH to the TCH is described as follows:

1. Each cell is configured with a counter.

2. Each time when the TCH is converted to the SDCCH, the counter is set to ResTime. The
value of the counter is adjusted every three seconds.
l If the number of idle SDCCHs > 8 + Idle SDCCH Threshold N1, the value of the
counter is subtracted by 3.
l If the number of current idle SDCCHs < 8 + Idle SDCCH Threshold N1, the value of
the counter is added by 12, but the value of the counter should not exceed ResTime.
l If the number of idle SDCCHs = 8 + Idle SDCCH Threshold N1, the value of the
counter remains unchanged.
3. If the value of the counter is equal to or lower than 0 after adjustment, the SDCCH is
converted to the TCH.
NOTE

ResTime is the minimum recovery time of the TCH.

Prerequisite
l The LMT runs normally.
l The communication between the LMT and the BSC is normal.

for TCH-SDCCH conversion.

Table 6-1 Data to be negotiated and planned before modifying channel attributes for TCH-

Category Description Source

SDCCH Dynamic If this parameter is set to Yes, the dynamic Network

Allocation Allowed conversion between the SDCCH and the TCH is planning
available.

Idle SDCCH Threshold If the number of idle SDCCHs in the cell is Network
N1 smaller than or equal to the value of this planning
parameter, the BSC tries to find a TCHF that can
be converted to the SDCCH. This parameter is
one of the conditions for converting the TCHF to
the SDCCH.

Cell SDCCH Channel Before initiating the conversion from the TCH to Network
Maximum the SDCCH, the BSC needs to check whether the planning
number of SDCCHs after the conversion exceeds
Cell SDCCH Channel Maximum. If the number
of SDCCHs exceeds the value of this parameter,
the BSC does not initiate the conversion.

TCH Minimum This parameter specifies the minimum time Network

Recovery Time (s) required for converting the TCH to the SDCCH planning
and then restoring to the TCH.

TCH Rate Adjust This parameter determines whether the TCHF can be Network
Allow converted to the TCHH. planning
l If this parameter is set to Yes, the conversion
between the TCHF and the TCHH is allowed.
l If this parameter is set to No, the conversion
between the TCHF and the TCHH is not allowed
and the channel that has been converted to the
TCHH will be forcibly converted to the TCHF.
This parameter also determines whether the dynamic
adjustment priority is supported during channel
assignment. During channel assignment, the channels
on the TRX that does not support dynamic adjustment
is assigned preferentially to ensure that the channels
on the TRX that supports dynamic adjustment are used
for dynamic adjustment. Thus, the channel
requirements of MSs can be met.

TCH Traffic Busy If HWII channel allocation algorithm is used, the BSC Network
Threshold (%) assigns half-rate TCHs to dual-rate calls preferentially planning
when the channel seizure rate reaches or exceeds the
predefined value of this parameter. If the channel
seizure rate is lower than the predefined value of this
parameter, the BSC assigns full-rate TCHs to dual-rate
calls preferentially.

Enhanced TCH This parameter determines whether the combination Network

Adjust Allowed of two half-rate TCHs into one full-rate TCH is planning
allowed in a cell.
l If this parameter is set to Yes, calls may fail when
the timeslot arrangement fails and the MS does not
select the TCHF in the concentric cell.
l If this parameter is set to No, the forced handover
and call delay caused by timeslot arrangement can
be avoided, but there is a possibility that some
TCHF-only calls fail because the timeslot
arrangement is unavailable.
Huawei recommends that the parameter Enhanced
TCH Adjust Allowed be set to No, because a forced
handover probably may fail in a concentric cell. In a
normal cell, Huawei recommends that this parameter
be set to Yes to ensure that timeslot arrangement can
be performed in the cell.

8 Changing the Abis Timeslot Assignment

Mode

If the BTS uses TDM mode, the requirement of timeslots changes as the BTS traffic increases.
In this case, you can change the Abis timeslot assignment mode to improve the utilization of the
Abis timeslot resources.

Scenario Network optimization

Impact If you change the Abis timeslot assignment mode of a BTS from Fix to Flex,
you need to reset the BTS. The BSC services may be affected. In other cases,
the BSC services are not affected.
NEs Involved BSC and BTS

There are three Abis timeslot assignment modes:

l Fix
l Flex
l SemiSolid

When adjusting the Abis timeslot assignment mode, pay attention to the following:

l The double-transceiver BTS and distributed base station support Flex.

l The BTS in Flex mode cannot be on a same main link with the bypass BTS.
l If the timeslot assignment mode of the upper-level BTS is Fix, then the timeslot assignment
mode of the lower-level BTS must be set to Fix.
l If the timeslot assignment mode of the upper-level BTS is Flex, then the timeslot
assignment mode of the lower-level BTS can be set to Flex or SemiSolid.
l The timeslot assignment mode of the level-1 BTS cannot be set to SemiSolid. If the timeslot
assignment mode of the upper-level BTS is Fix, then the timeslot assignment mode of the
lower-level BTS must be set to Fix.

Prerequisite
l The LMT runs normally.
l The communication between the LMT and the BSC is normal.

If the BTS uses the TDM transmission mode, Abis timeslots should be assigned when the BTS,
cells, TRXs, idle timeslots, or monitoring timeslots are added or modified. The Abis timeslots
can be automatically assigned by the BSC or manually assigned if required.

Scenario Network optimization

Impact After Abis timeslots are manually assigned, the BTS is reset and the services
offered by the BSC are affected.
NEs Involved BSC and BTS

Under normal conditions, the Abis timeslots are calculated and assigned automatically. You can
also manually assign Abis timeslots. When manually assigning Abis timeslots, adhere to the
principles described in Manual Timeslot Assignment on the Abis Interface.
The Abis timeslot objects that can be manually assigned are as follows:
l When the Abis timeslot assignment mode is set to Fix, the Abis timeslot objects that can
be manually assigned are the OML, RSL, monitoring timeslot, idle timeslot, and TCH.
l When the Abis timeslot assignment mode is set to Flex, the Abis timeslot objects that can
be manually assigned are the OML, RSL, monitoring timeslot, idle timeslot, and static
PDCH (including PDTCH, PBCCH+PDTCH, and PCCCH+PDTCH).

11 Moving a BTS Within a BSC

About This Chapter

If the BSC services are not in balance, you need to adjust the distribution of the hardware
resources. Moving BTSs can help to balance the services.

Context
This task describes the following five situations:
l Move and configure a TDM BTS as a cascaded BTS under a HUB BTS.
l Move and configure a TDM BTS as a cascaded BTS under an HDLC BTS.
l Move and configure an HDLC BTS as a cascaded BTS under a TDM BTS.
l Move and configure a TDM BTS as a cascaded BTS under another TDM BTS.
l Move and configure an HDLC BTS as a cascaded BTS under a HUB BTS.
When moving a BTS within a BSC, adhere to the following principles:
l The HUB BTS can be moved only between different interface boards within the same BSC.
It cannot be configured as a lower-level BTS under another BTS.
l The IP-based BTS can be moved only between different interface boards within the same
BSC. It cannot be configured as a lower-level BTS under another BTS.
l The HDLC BTS configured as a lower-level BTS must have connection with the GEHUB
through the active port.
l The TDM BTS configured as a lower-level BTS must have connection with the GEIUB or
GOIUB through the active port.
l When the bandwidth is insufficient, any lower-level BTS under the HUB BTS cannot have
a secondary link directly connected to the BSC. A secondary link can only be added through
the HUB BTS.
l A maximum of seven levels of cascaded BTSs are allowed.
l An upper-level BTS cannot be moved to a lower-level BTS.
l When moving a BTS, you need to modify the inner connection relations.
l The timeslot assignment mode and the multiplexing mode of the BTS to be moved must
match those of the upper-level BTS to which it moves. If the timeslot assignment mode of

the upper-level BTS is Fix, the timeslot assignment mode of the lower-level BTS must be
Fix. If the timeslot assignment mode of the upper-level BTS is Flex, the timeslot assignment
mode of the lower-level BTS must be set to Flex or SemiSolid.
l When a bypass BTS is moved and configured as a cascaded BTS under a non-bypass BTS,
the bypass BTS must be changed to a non-bypass BTS. When a bypass BTS is moved and
configured as a cascaded BTS under a bypass BTS, the moved bypass BTS must be changed
to a non-bypass BTS if it is a level 6 or an lower-level BTS. When a non-bypass BTS is
moved and configured as a cascaded BTS under a bypass BTS, the moved BTS must be
changed to a bypass BTS if it is a level 5 or a higher-level BTS.
l If a BTS on a ring is moved to another ring or configured as a cascaded BTS under a BTS
on the same ring, the moved BTS must be set to a tributary BTS on the ring. If a BTS on
a ring is moved and configured as a cascaded BTS under a common BTS or under a BSC,
the moved BTS must be set to a common BTS. If a common BTS is moved and configured
as a cascaded BTS under a BTS on a ring or under a tributary BTS on the ring, the moved
BTS must be set to a tributary BTS on the ring.

About This Chapter

If the BSC services are not in balance, you need to adjust the distribution of the hardware
resources. BTS adjustment helps to balance the BSC services.

12.1 Changing the BTS Multiplexing Mode

If the BTS uses the TDM transmission mode, the requirement for BTS timeslots changes when
the BTS traffic increases. In this case, you can change the BTS multiplexing mode to improve
the utilization of Abis timeslot resources.
12.2 Changing the Transmission Port of a BTS
This describes how to change the transmission port of a BTS to optimize the network
performance.
12.3 Changing the Service Mode of a BTS
When the BSC services change, you need to change the service mode on the BTS to optimize
the network performance.
12.4 Setting the BTS to Separate Mode
When the DTRUs or the QTRUs are used to expand system capacity, the BTS must be set to
separate mode.
12.5 Converting RXU Chains into an RXU Ring on the 3900 GSM BTS Family
When the traffic volume of a BTS of the 3900 GSM BTS family changes, you can converting
RXU chains into an RXU ring to improve the system robustness. The conversion of RXU chains
into an RXU ring consists of combining RXU chains into an RXU ring and converting an RXU
chain into an RXU ring.
12.6 Splitting an RXU Ring into RXU Chains on the 3900 GSM BTS Family
When the traffic volume of a BTS of the 3900 GSM BTS family changes, you can split an RXU
ring into RXU chains to increase the system capacity.
12.7 Changing the Status of the BTS3900/BTS3900A to Cfg RFU by Slot
This describes how to change the status of the existing BTS3900/BTS3900A from non Cfg RFU
by Slot to Cfg RFU by Slot.

12.1 Changing the BTS Multiplexing Mode

If the BTS uses the TDM transmission mode, the requirement for BTS timeslots changes when
the BTS traffic increases. In this case, you can change the BTS multiplexing mode to improve
the utilization of Abis timeslot resources.

Scenario Network optimization

Impact The BTS is reset after the multiplexing mode is changed, and all the services
carried by the BTS are affected.
NEs Involved BSC and BTS

BTS multiplexing mode indicates the Abis timeslot multiplexing mode of the BTS. It consists
of the following types:
l 1:1 64 kbit/s statistic multiplexing mode
l 2:1 64 kbit/s statistic multiplexing mode
l 3:1 64 kbit/s statistic multiplexing mode
l 4:1 64 kbit/s statistic multiplexing mode
l 5:1 64 kbit/s statistic multiplexing mode
l 6:1 64 kbit/s statistic multiplexing mode
l Physical 16 kbit/s multiplexing mode

The bandwidth of an E1 is 2.048 Mbit/s and is divided into 32 timeslots. The transmission rate
on each timeslot is 64 kbit/s. The bandwidth of each T1 cable is 1.544 Mbit/s and is divided into
24 timeslots. There are six types of Abis timeslot objects:
l Operation and Maintenance Link (OML)
Operation and maintenance link of a BTS. One BTS has only one OML, which works at
64 kbit/s. The OML cannot be multiplexed with the RSL of another BTS onto the same 64
kbit/s timeslot.
l Radio Signaling Link (RSL)
Radio signaling link. Each TRX has one RSL, which works at 64 kbit/s. The RSL cannot
be multiplexed with the OML or RSL of another BTS onto the same 64 kbit/s timeslot.
l Extend Signaling Link (ESL)
Extend signaling link. If the Abis timeslot assignment mode of the BTS is Flex, one BTS
requires one ESL, which works at 64 kbit/s, to transfer the Abis timeslot dynamic
connection message. In 64 kbit/s statistic multiplexing mode and physical 16 kbit/s
multiplexing mode, the ESL can be multiplexed only with the OML of the same BTS onto
a 64 kbit/s timeslot on the same E1.
l Traffic Channel (TCH)
Traffic channel of the TRX. The TCH works at 16 kbit/s.
l Idle
Idle timeslots of the BTS. The idle timeslot works at 16 kbit/s. The idle timeslots can be
multiplexed with only the TCH in the same cabinet onto the same 64 kbit/s timeslot.

32 kbit/s, or 64 kbit/s. Monitoring timeslots cannot be multiplexed with other types of
timeslots onto the same 64 kbit/s timeslot.

When changing the BTS multiplexing mode, pay attention to the following:

l If the BTS multiplexing mode is 5: 1 or 6: 1, the Abis timeslot assignment mode must be
set to Flex.
l If the Abis timeslot assignment mode of a BTS must be set to Flex, you should add an ESL
for the BTS, and change the maximum number of RSLs that can be multiplexed with the
OML.
l When the BTS multiplexing mode is 4: 1, a maximum of three RSLs can be multiplexed
if the Abis timeslot assignment mode is Fix; if the Abis timeslot assignment mode is
Flex, a maximum of two RSLs can be multiplexed.
l When the BTS multiplexing mode is 4: 1, a redundant RSL will occupy a 64 kbit/s timeslot
if the Abis timeslot assignment mode is changed from Fix to Flex,, and thus reducing the
utilization of resources. In this case, you can change the BTS multiplexing mode to 5: 1 or
6: 1. Thus, more RSLs can be multiplexed onto one 64 kbit/s timeslot. This saves the system
resources.
l If the Abis timeslot assignment mode is Fix or SemiSolid, the BTS multiplexing mode
cannot be set to 5: 1 or 6: 1.
l On the BTS cascading main link, the BTS in physical 16 kbit/s multiplexing mode cannot
coexist with the BTS in other multiplexing mode.
l When you change the multiplexing mode of a BTS from non-4: 1 to 4: 1 or from 4: 1 to
non-4: 1, the related cell parameters are modified automatically.
– When you change the multiplexing mode of a BTS from non-4: 1 to 4: 1, the
measurement report preprocessing parameter of all the cells under this BTS is not
enabled by default and the sent frequency of preprocessed measurement report is set to
twice every second automatically. Meanwhile, the system will enable the measurement
report preprocessing parameter of all the cells under this BTS and the sent frequency
of preprocessed measurement report is set to once every second.
– When you change the multiplexing mode of a BTS from 4: 1 to non-4: 1, the
measurement report preprocessing parameter of all the cells under this BTS is enabled
by default and the sent frequency of preprocessed measurement report is set to once
every second automatically. Meanwhile, the system will disable the measurement report
preprocessing parameter of all the cells under this BTS and the sent frequency of
preprocessed measurement report is set to twice every second.

Prerequisite
l The LMT runs normally.
l The communication between the LMT and the BSC is normal.
l The communication between the BTS and the BSC is normal.

Table 12-1 Data to be negotiated and planned before changing the BTS multiplexing mode

Category Description Source

Multiplexing Mode BTS multiplexing mode indicates the Abis timeslot Network
multiplexing mode of the BTS. The OML and RSL are planning
signaling links. Only signaling links can be multiplexed
together. Statistic multiplexing mode means that the
OML and RSL use one E1 timeslot through Time
Division Multiplexing (TDM). For example, 4:1
multiplexing mode means that three RSLs and one
OML are multiplexed onto one 64 kbit/s timeslot.
If the BTS multiplexing mode is set to 5: 1, one OML,
one ESL, and two RSLs are multiplexed onto one 64
kbit/s timeslot, or five RSLs are multiplexed onto one
64 kbit/s timeslot.
If the BTS multiplexing mode is set to 6: 1, one OML,
one ESL, and two RSLs are multiplexed onto one 64
kbit/s timeslot, or six RSLs are multiplexed onto one 64
kbit/s timeslot.
If the BTS multiplexing mode is set to Physical 16 kbit/
s, one OML (ESL) and one RSL occupy one 16 kbit/s
timeslot respectively.

Table 12-2 lists the example of the data negotiated and planned for changing the BTS
multiplexing mode.

About This Chapter

To overcome the restrictions in remote mountainous areas or sparsely populated plains, the
satellite transmission should be adjusted so that wide coverage, long transmission distance, and
flexible link scheduling can be achieved.

14.1 Adjusting Satellite Transmission on the Ater Interface

In BM/TC separated mode with the TC configured remotely, the satellite transmission can be
adopted on the Ater interface as long as the installation of the transmission lines is geographically
impossible.
14.2 Adjusting Satellite Transmission on the A Interface
At temporary sites for emergency use or in situations where the BSC and MSC cannot
communicate by means of terrestrial transmission, the satellite transmission can be adopted on
the A interface.
14.3 Adjusting Satellite Transmission on the Abis Interface
The satellite transmission can be adopted on the Abis interface to solve the communication
problem between the BTS and the BSC, as long as the installation of the transmission lines is
geographically impossible.
14.4 Adjusting Satellite Transmission on the Pb Interface
The satellite transmission can be adopted on the Pb interface if the installation of the transmission
lines between the BSC and the external PCU are geographically impossible or the cost of
installing the transmission lines is high.
14.5 Adjusting Satellite Transmission on the Gb Interface
The satellite transmission can be adopted on the Gb interface in countries or areas where the
installation of E1 cables on the Gb interface is difficult.

installation of E1 cables on the Gb interface is difficult.

Scenario Network optimization

Impact In offline configuration mode, the BSC services are not affected.
NEs Involved BSC

NOTE

l FR is used on the Gb interface as the bearer protocol. The FR link on the Gb interface of Huawei BSS
can support 600 ms delay carried with satellite transmission.
l When IP transmission mode is adopted on the Gb interface, the default settings can support the 600
ms delay carried with satellite transmission.

To ensure the normal operation of PS services in satellite transmission mode, the GPRS
parameters T3168 should be set to 1000ms, T3192 to 1000ms, and BS_CV_MAX to 15, as
shown in Figure 14-18.

The mode of Bear Channel (BC) is determined by networking:
l If the PCU is directly connected to the SGSN, set the PCU to Data Terminal Equipment
(DTE) and the SGSN to Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment (DCE).
l If the PCU is connected to the SGSN through an intermediate network, set the PCU to DTE,
intermediate network to DCE, and SGSN to either DTE or DCE.

Procedure

NOTE

When you configure satellite transmission on the Gb interface, ensure that the following parameters
involved in the FR link on the Gb interface meet the requirement of delay:
l DTE Parameter (N391)
l DTE Parameter (N392)
l DTE Parameter (N393)
l DTE Parameter (T391)
T391 is involved in satellite transmission on the Gb interface. The default value of the parameter is 10s,
which can support the delay caused by satellite transmission. N391, N392, and N393 are set to default
values.

15 Adjusting BTS Combined Cabinets and

Cabinet Groups

About This Chapter

The area with high traffic volumes requires a large capacity BTS. If one BTS does not meet the
capacity requirements, combined cabinets or cabinet groups should be used.

15.1 Adjusting BTS3012 Combined Cabinets and Cabinet Groups

The BTS3012 supports the combining of two cabinets and the grouping of three cabinet groups.
Two combined BTS3012 cabinets support 24 TRXs. The cabinet combining and grouping is
achieved by adding TRXs.
15.2 Adjusting BTS3006C Combined Cabinets and Cabinet Groups
A BTS3006C cabinet can hold a maximum of six TRXs. If a synchronous cell requires more
than six TRXs, combined cabinets should be used. The BTS3006C supports up to three combined
cabinets and two cabinet groups. It supports a maximum of six cabinets and 36 TRXs.
15.3 Adjusting Hybrid Group of the BTS3012 and BTS3X
In BTS3012-BTS312 hybrid group, the main cabinet group must be the BTS3012 while the
extension cabinet group could be BTS30 or BTS312. The following describes how to configure
the BTS3012-BTS312 hybrid group.

NEs Involved BSC and BTS

NOTE

l The combined cabinets refer to the function where multiple BTS cabinets of the same type are
connected. The combined cabinets expand the capacity of TRX subrack. The main control board in the
extension cabinet is not required. The extension cabinet uses the main control board in the main cabinet.
l Cabinet groups refer to the function where multiple BTS groups are connected. This expands the serving
capacity of whole site. The first cabinet of each cabinet group is the main cabinet.
l The difference between combined cabinets and cabinet groups is cabinet number. Three cabinets with
consecutive number form one group. Cabinets 0, 1, and 2 form cabinet group 1. Cabinets 3, 4, and 5
form cabinet group 2. Cabinets 6, 7, and 8 form cabinet group 3. The BTSs of different types support
cabinet groups of different specifications. For example, the BTS3012 supports combined cabinet of
two cabinets and cabinet group of three cabinets at maximum. The corresponding cabinet number is
as follows:
l Cabinet group 1: cabinets 0 and 1
l Cabinet group 2: cabinets 3 and 4
l Cabinet group 3: cabinets 6 and 7

Prerequisite
l The DIP switches of the cabinet are set.
l The signal cables connecting the combined cabinets are installed.
l The configuration data of the main BTS3012 cabinet is applied.
