Case 1
Phenomenon Description:
Three cells of a satellite transmission BTS under a BSC are
unable to access the network through GPRS. View the cell
status and channel status. They are all normal. The PCU traffic
measurement, Um interface and cell signaling tracing, and
configuration data are collected on site.

GPRS Power Control


GPRS Power Control Purpose
Save the power

Reduce the interference of the network

GPRS Power Control is complex than GSM for discontinuous


transmission.

Normally now just uplink power control is implemented.

GPRS Power Control
According GPRS principle, GPRS MS output power as
below
Pch = Min Ro - Rch – a*( C+48) , Pmax
Pmax: GPRS MS max transmitting power

a ALPHA normally is 1

Ro 39dBm for 900M cell, and 36dBm for 1800M cell

Rch GAMMA

GPRS Cell Reselection


During ready and standby mode, MS will occur cell
reselection

Cell reselection will be triggered upon the following 5


kinds conditions.
current serving cell is prohibited

down link fails

C1 of serving cell is lower than 0 last 5s

Neighbor cell C32 and C31 higher than serving cell last 5S

MS starts a cell reselection if the access times exceed the MAX


retrans.

GPRS Cell Reselection


If PBCCH no exists, the cell reselection is basically the
same as GSM cell reselection
When the two cells locates in the different routing areas or the
MS is in READY mode, the NC2 must be greater than
SC2+CRH (>5s)

When the two cells locates in the same routing area and the
MS is in STANDBY mode, the NC2 must be greater than SC2
(>5s)
