Qmux Addressing
The OMC-R operator controls the Qmux address. For an existing BSS, the Qmux address
entered at the OMC-R must match the address installed in the equipment.
At migration, the Qmux address known in the BTS might not always be in line with the
Qmux address known in the BSC. The Qmux address known in the BTS is automatically
set (by OML auto-detection) to the BSC address.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
For new BTSs, the OMC-R operator must allocate a unique Qmux address for each BTS.
If the Qmux address is unique at the network level, the Qmux address can be kept when
moving BTS from one BSC to another. Otherwise, it is necessary to change the Qmux
address.

Modify Multiplexing Conditions
This is a prerequisite for an efficient flat hotspot. Note, however, that this action increases
the Abis occupancy and so may be refused due to lack of timeslots on the Abis.
Several modifications are possible, for example:
• Go to statistical multiplexing, with a high signaling load
• Statistical multiplexing, with multiplexing per sector (this is not recommended if the
number of TRE per sector is three or seven).
Note: The above hints do not cover temporary degraded situations due to hardware
failures. In these situations, the first action to be performed is a repair.
Installing dual-rate TRE has a positive effect on the SDCCH load, because it leads to
using more TCUC but it is not a viable way to solve the overload situation.

It is supported by the following hardware:
• 9120 BSC, 9130 BSC Evolution
• 9100 BTS/9110 Micro BTS.
Statistical Submultiplexing (64 kbit/s)
This enables you to multiplex one OML and up to four RSL of the same BTS onto a
single 64 kbit/s Abis timeslot. It dynamically allocates the bandwidth among the RSLs.
RSLs with more traffic get more bandwidth (up to the complete 64 kbit/s) than RSLs with
less traffic. If dual rate TREs are defined, only two RSL will be multiplexed together with
one OML on the same Abis timeslot.
Note: Three RSLs cannot be multiplexed on one Abis timeslot.
Statistical Submultiplexing (16 kbit/s)
This enables you to multiplex one OML and one RSL of the same BTS into a single 16
kbit/s timeslot nibble (in timeslot 0 of a TRX) available on the Abis in full-rate mode.
Statistical Submultiplexing (16 kbit/s) can be used for small capacity BTS.
Note: Intermediate transmission networks can be used on the Abis Interface (
External Submultiplexers). These can cause specific constraints, such as difficulty
in reconfiguring the 64 kbit/s cross-connects.
The following table describes the number of timeslots available in one Abis link for
use by the TCH and control channels.

Network Modifications Attempt to Add BTS
Check for Sufficient Resources on Abis
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
When defining the full-rate TCU occupancy, the Eq-FR (equivalent full-rate) is used.
For computing the required Eq-FR for add BTS operation, the operator must take into
account the following:
• One TCU supports four Eq-FR
• One TCU supports two Eq-DR
• OneExtra Abis timeslot = 0.5 Eq-FR
• Extra Abis timeslots are mapped only on TCUs supporting TRE full-rate and not on
TCUs supporting dual-rate TRE
• Full-rate and dual-rate TREs cannot be combined on the same TCU.
In order to add a BTS on the Abis, the operator should first check:
• If the number of available Eq-FR on TSU allows the addition of the BTS
• Number of Eq-FR needed for the operation
• Number of resources on primary and secondary Abis links.

For TSU connectivity, the operator must take the following information into account:
• One dual-rate TRX is equivalent to two full-rate TRX
• One extra Abis TS used for PS traffic is equivalent with 0.5 full-rate TRX.
During the scenario, if no error messages are displayed, the BTS is successfully added. If
not, use the solutions provided in the following table to solve the resource problems on

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Description
This feature allows the increase of the MxBSC Evolution capacity by adding two more
CCP boards on ATCA shelf without changing the capacity of the boards compared to the
B11 values (200 TRX/CCP). Inserting these new boards allows adding two new BSC
configurations: configuration 6 to support 1200 TRX and configuration 7 to support 1400
TRX.
The feature includes the commercially linked Abis/Ater flexibility option, which allows
flexible assignment of E1 links between Abis and Ater. It is supported from MxBSC
configuration 6 and 7 and it requires the A Signalling over IP and A User Plane over IP
features to be activated also.
Activate Feature
To activate the feature refer to Extend 9130 BSC Evolution.
To configure MxBSC using the Abis/Ater flexibility, the same mechanism as in STM1
context is used. Refer to GSM BSS Configuration Rules and Extend 9130 BSC Evolution
.
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites apply to activate A User Plane over IP:
• A Signalling over IP feature is activated

VAMOS
Description
VAMOS (Voice services over Adaptive Multi-user channels on One Slot) allows
multiplexing of two users simultaneously on the same physical resource in the circuit
switched mode both in downlink and in uplink, using the same timeslot number, ARFCN
and TDMA frame number.
Hence, a basic physical channel capable of VAMOS supports up to 4 TCH channels along
with their associated control channels (FACCH and SACCH).
In DL the BTS transmits simultaneously to 2 MSs on the same timeslot and frequency
using two different training sequences (one for each MS) and with Adaptive-QPSK
modulation (variant of QPSK allowing flexible power control for the two users), which
allows to double the throughput compared to legacy GMSK.
The feature is available for 9130 BSC Evolution only.
Activate Feature
The 9130 BSC Evolution must be in IP transport mode.

IP Transport in BSS
Description
There are three modes:
• Mixed mode BSS contains both TDM BTS and IPoE1 and/or IPoEth BTS. This
mode requires an IP backbone on Ater.
• Full IP BSS contains no TDM BTS, only IPoE1 and/or IPoEth
• Full IPoEth BSS uses only IPoEth (no Abis links using IPoE1).
There are two stages:
• IPoE1 (Abis on E1, Ater on Eth)
• IPoEth (Abis on Eth, Ater on Eth).
The IP transport mode is supported only in 9130 MFS Evolution, 9130 BSC Evolution,
Alcatel-Lucent BTS (with SUM-X board) and 9125 TC (with TCIF IP board).
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites apply to activate IP transport in the BSS:
• IP over E1 is not supported by BTS configurations with only 9110 micro-BTS
• Rings are not supported. The ring must be converted to a chain and thus the secondary
E1 access to the BSC is not used
• TDM cross-connects are not supported. All timeslot cross-connects in the Abis link
must be removed (all Abis links must have the full 2 Mbit/s bandwidth available)
• TP v3 with TPIP is required.
Note that the IP transport in GSM project will replace the existing TDM based transport
by an IP based transport.
Activate Feature
In order to activate the IP Transport Mode in BSS, you must perform Change to IP Mode
for 9130 BSC Evolution.

Gb Flex
Description
The Gb interface is used to connect the BSS to the SGSN.
The Gb Flex feature allows a BSS to connect to more than one SGSN.
The Gb-flex feature is licensed at OMC level and the activation is per BSS. As the feature
depends on Gb over IP suport, which is also an optional feature, its license is part of the
algorithm. Thus, OMC may forbid setting the Gb transport mode to IP for an NSE or BSS
due to Gb over IP license and may forbid the association of the second NSE to a GPU due
to Gb Flex license.
Activate Feature
To activate the feature, refer to Configure GPRS.

The script uses a configuration file which mainly contains the following:
• a list of boards that needs to be reset and for each type of board, the week day when
the reset must take place
For example, the list format is:
#[Board types]
0001 jbxomcp Monday //OMCP board
0002 jbxccp Wednesday //CCP board
0003 jbxtp Thursday //TP GSM board
0004 jbxmux Tuesday //Mux board (of the LIU Shelf)

There are two possible formats for the list:
– If for example, in the list there is the date 25.12.201025.12.2010, the script will
not run precisely on that day
– If in the list, the date format is 25.12.*, the script will not run during any of the
25.12 days, whatever the year.
• a list of BSC IDs on which reset action must be sent
For example, the list format is:
#[Concerned BSCs]
ALL
or
#[Concerned BSCs]
ALL EXCEPT 6, 9, 13
or
#[Concerned BSCs]
1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 12
where:
ALL - means that all the 9130 BSC from the impacted OMC-R are considered to
perform the reset action.
ALL EXCEPT 6, 9, 13 - means that all the 9130 BSCs known by the OMC-R,
excepting the ones given in the list are considered.
1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 12 - If an explicit list of IDs is provided, only those 9130 BSCs are
considered. The IDs in the list are separated by comma and the list can be splited over
several lines.
• the duration of the pause between two consecutive reset actions, expressed in seconds
- default value 30 seconds
For example:
#[Inter reset pause duration]
30 secs
• the period of time after which the log file will be moved to old. The default value is 4
weeks
For example:
#[Period covered by a log file in weeks]
4
• other configuration data if necessary
The script produces a log file: /alcatel/var/maintenance/log/resetSbBoards.log, gathering
information over several weeks.
The log file contains:
• a line indicating the board type picked up for the current run
• a subheader:

when available, the concatenated error descriptions.
When the period covered by the log file is over, the log file is closed and will be renamed
by adding the .old extension (for archiving reasons).
The script, together with its configuration file are integrated with the OMC-R software.
The script is located in /alcatel/omc3/bss/usm/script/MxTools.
The script must be manually scheduled in axadmin crontab. For example, to run every
night at 3:00 am the following line should be added in axadmin crontab with
crontab -e
command:0 3 * * * /alcatel/omc3/bss/usm/script/MxTools/
resetSbBoards
After the 9153 OMC-R migration/SWR, the user must manually (re)schedule the tool in
axadmin crontab.
Before the 9130 BSC migration/SWR, the configuration file resetSbBoards.cfg must be
udpated so that to remove the concerned BSC from the "[Concerned BSCs]" section.
After the migration, the 9130 BSC can be inserted back in resetSbBoards.cfg, if necesary.

GboIP
Description
GboIP is an optional feature.
The user is not allowed to set Gb_Transport_Mode parameter on the IP mode if the
feature was not bought.
The GboIP is an alternative to the GboFR (Frame Relay), to decrease transmission costs
in the BSS network. The MFS can support GboFR and GboIP at the same time, and the
granularity of the Gb transport mode is the BSS.
The feature is completely independent of the BTS connection type (TDMA or IP) or the
Ater connection type (TDMA or IP), so it is possible to implement the GboIP feature with
a BSS not in IP.
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites apply:
• For a 9135 MFS, replace existing hubs/switches with a 1Gigabit /VLAN capable
switch (Alcatel-Lucent Omniswitch 6224)
• For a 9130 MFS Evolution, if necessary, move from two LANS O&M to one LAN
O&M
• If necessary, install and configure a new router to be used for telecom. Connect the
new router to the MFS and IP network
• Gb over IP is supported on:
As follows:
– 9130 MFS Evolution
– 9135 MFS with a DS10 control station equipped with Alcatel-Lucent OmniStack
LS 6224 switches.
Activate Feature

Mx Capacity Improvement
Description
The following sub-features apply:
• 1000 TRX 9130 BSC Evolution capacity
• Removal of HR impact on BSC connectivity
• Up to 500 cells per BSC.
In order to have 1000 TRX in one 9130 BSC Evolution, the following modifications are
necessary:
• Introduction of a High Speed Signaling Link (HSL)
• Addition of two CCP boards
• A new type of TPGSM board will be used.
To implement the removal of the HR impact on BSC connectivity, a new OMC-R
command, Remap BTS on CCP, is introduced. The maximum number of TREs mapped
to a CCP is not related to whether the TREs are FR or DR. It is always possible to map up
to four TREs (FR and/or DR) per VTCU (that is, up to 200 TREs per CCP).
The capacity is extended to 500 cells for the 9130 BSC Evolution. The number of 2G
adjacencies to be supported per 9130 BSC Evolution in B10 is 10300. The maximum
number of 3G external cells supported per 9130 BSC Evolution is 850, and the maximum
number of 3G cells adjacencies is 1850.
Activate Feature
Activate the feature:
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
1 Up to 1000 TRX per 9130 BSC Evolution, up to 500 cells per 9130 BSC Evolution.
Except for the HSL activation scenario described in Extend Ater Mux Interface, there is
no specific activation required for this feature other than the hardware requirements. The
9130 BSC Evolution must be equipped with a number of CCP(s), in line with the awaited
capacity. Moreover, the 9130 BSC Evolution must be equipped with the new type of
TPGSM board.

Note: The script can be launched on several BSSes at the same time:
• by launching the script in different terminal windows, one for each BSS
• by launching the script several times in the same terminal window, each time
followed by &
E.g.: /alcatel/omc3/bss/usm/script/HR_TOOL/activate-hr.pl 2& and
then /alcatel/omc3/bss/usm/script/HR_TOOL/activate-hr.pl 3&.
Where 2 is the first BSS id and 3 is the second BSS id.
In case there are HR activations on too many BSSes at the same time, the following
error is displayed when launching a new activation: No more ports
availables. Can't start session. In this case relaunch the new activation
when a previous activation is finished.
The script automatically performs bulk HR activation for all the BTS connected to that
BSC. A log file is created in the current working directory, which contains the results for
all BTS.
The log file has the following format: BSS_ID; BTS_ID; ACTION_RESULT;ERRORS.
For each BTS a line is entered listing the BSS and BTS IDs.
In the ACTION_RESULT field the following labels are displayed:
• OK - if the action was executed successfully
• NOK - if the action was rejected with an error
• NO_ACTION - if the TRE configuration contained only DR TRE
The ERRORS field is the concatenation of all reported errors descriptions separated by
"|". If there are no errors, the field is empty.

Abis Dynamic
Overview
This feature is an internal system improvement. There is no specific operator activation.
The transition from B8 HSDS to B9 HSDS with Dynamic Abis is managed by specific
actions in the migration process.
The main O&M impacts resulting from the Dynamic Abis allocation feature, as compared
to the HSDS feature in Release B8, from the migration or user point of view, are as
follows:
• The number of extra Abis timeslots is defined per BTS. It replaces the B8 notion of a
TRX pool type.
• To simplify the rules to share basic nibbles inside a given cell, a new B9 O&M
constraint is introduced which guarantees that, in a cell shared over two BTSs, only
one sector can support PS traffic
• In Release B9, the pool of Extra TSs of the BTS can have the following states:
It can be:
– Available
– Unavailable (default case when no Extra TSs are configured for the BTS, or when
all Extra TSs are broken)
– Partly available (when some Extra TSs are broken, and others are not)
This state is obtained by the OMC-R through the HSDS-Synthesis view.

These states replace the B8 states available, truncated, unavailable (B8
states per TRX pool). As this information is not persistent in the OMC-R and is
displayed by means of a BSC get, there is no need to migrate this pool status
information.
• New cell to GPU mapping algorithm that leads to new reshuffling situations in the
MFS.
Due to the improved usage of Abis resources, depending on the load of the packet traffic,
the operator can reduce the number of Extra TSs.
Impacted parameters can be tuned from both the PRC and SC.

Counter Improvements
Overview
Counter improvements is a feature that cannot be activated.
This feature is a system internal improvement. There is no specific operator activation.
Activate Feature
The feature is activated when the Type 33 is added in the permanent campaign. As a
permanent campaign is defined for a complete OMC-R, the EME will run in all B9 cells
defined in the OMC-R.
The following scenario also takes into account the tuning of the
EME_PWR_MAX_GSM/DCS parameter using the EME java-script facility on a set of cells
on which the operator can choose the same coefficient as input of the script:
• In the PRC
For cell parameter modification:
– Select the set of cells on which the EME script has to be launched with the same
coefficient
– Apply the Java script on the selected cells.
• PM Activation

As follows:
– Each time the UE/MS reports measurements, the process reevaluates the Ec/No
averages for all reported 3G cells measurements
– For each cell, if AV_ECNO >=THR_ECNO, the cell must be added in the list of
candidate cells, ranked according to AV_ECNO and 3G cells on top of the list.
• Handover candidate cell evaluation
As follows:
– As 3G cells are on the top of the candidate cells, handover to 3G is prioritized
regarding handover to 2G
– The candidate cell with the highest rank is the first cell that is selected to trigger
the handover.

9100 BTS Applicability
9100 BTSs can be replaced with BTSs of any generation. This applies when the case
where BTSs to be replaced and new BTSs are not all the same generation.
It is possible to replace X BTSs with Y BTSs at the same time:
• X can be equal to Y
• X and Y can be equal to 1
• The BTSs can be on different Abis links.
BSC with or without free Abis ports are covered:
• If the number of free Abis ports is higher than or equal to the number of Abis links
needed for the new BTSs, use the
Replace X BTS with Y BTS, Free Abis Port method
• If the number of free Abis ports is smaller than the number of Abis links needed for
the new BTSs, use the Replace X BTS with Y BTS, Same Abis Port
method.
The new BTSs can have more/fewer sectors/TREs than the replaced BTSs. Cell
creation/deletion is allowed.
Master/Slave Configuration
The following rules apply:
• It is assumed that synchronized BTSs are all replaced at the same time; otherwise, the
operator must change the synchronization before performing the BTSs replacement.
For more information, refer to:
– “Alcatel-Lucent 9100 BTS: Synchronize BTS Site Master/Slave” (p. 2-9)
– “Alcatel-Lucent 9100 BTS: Desynchronize BTS Site Master/Slave” (p. 2-10).
• The new BTSs can also be synchronized, but it is a prerequisite that the hardware
configuration for synchronization has already been done.
Shared Cell
The following rules apply:
• It is assumed that all BTS in shared cell are replaced at the same time
• The new BTSs can also be in shared cell, but it is a prerequisite that the hardware
configuration for synchronization has already been done.
Abis via satellite is allowed and is kept for the new BTSs with the following
prerequisites:

Scenario Applicability Abis: Move BTS/Abis
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The two BTSs that are part of the shared cell are moved. If the master BTS has
another slave, this slave BTS can be moved or left on the same BSC. If it is left on the
BSC, it must be changed from a slave configuration into a master configuration before
performing the move.
• Both BTSs are slaves of a third BTS associated with another cell.
The master BTS is moved at the same time as the BTSs in shared cell.
Add BSS
Overview
It is possible to introduce a BSS at the OMC-R from an already prepared build (with
GPRS pre-populated or not).
Actions such as Add/Remove/Move BTS must be performed after the Add BSS.
The GPRS activation must be performed after the Add BSS.
Note: The cabling takes into account the GPRS part. If it exists (MFS already cabled
or not), the cabling will be in its definitive version.
In the case of a 9130 BSC Evolution and a 9125 TC with a TC STM1-IP subrack, it is
also necessary to declare the TC at the OMC-R if it was not previously declared.
Note: In the case of moving a BSS/TC from one OMC-R to another, the operator
must assign the same BSS name in the target OMC-R. The BSS name must be
different from the TC name of any TC linked to this BSS.
For the 9120 BSC, different X.25 connection modes are supported:
• Connection via PSDN (BSC)
• Connection via the A interface (MSC), through the MFS or not.
For the 9130 BSC, different IP connection modes are supported:
• Connection via Ethernet LAN (BSC)
• Connection via the A interface (MSC), through the MFS or not.
