Traditional TransmissionAbis of TDM over E1

Abis E1 Dimension Principle for FullRate:

15 FR TRX per E1

S555 configuration: 1 BCCH per cell; 3 SDCCHs per cell; TCH channel = 5*8-1-3=36 Signaling : 1 RSL / TRX, 1 OML / Site, RSL or OML occupy one 16kbps timeslot Total 16kbps channel required= 36*3+15+1=124= 124/4=31 64kpbs timeslot= 1 E1

Example - Abis of IP over E1

Dimensioning Procedure Case study: supposed S444; 10% LCLS; 100% FR; 3 Activated MCS9 PDCHs; 85%Transmission Link Bandwidth Utilization

CS channel bandwidth (Kbps)

=(1-LCLS percentage)*Avg frame bit rate (kbps) with MUX for CS* Total voice number/BH =(1-10%)*8.8*84=665.28 kbps

PS channel bandwidth (Kbps)

=Number of Activated PDCHs in Busy Hours*Avg frame bit rate (kbps) with MUX for PS =3*31.4=97.2kbps

Signaling bandwidth (Kbps)

=10% *CS channel bandwidth (Kbps) =10%*665.28=66.53kbps

Total Abis requirement (Kbps)

=(CS channel bandwidth (Kbps)+ PS channel bandwidth (Kbps)+ Signaling bandwidth (Kbps))/Transmission Link Bandwidth Utilization =(665.28+97.2+66.53)/85%=975.31kbps

Total Abis timeslot requirement (64Kbps)

=Roundup (Total Abis requirement (Kbps)/ 64kbps,0)+1 =Roundup(975.31/64,0)+1=17
