Enhanced EDGE Coverage 2 Overview of Enhanced EDGE Coverage

2 Overview of Enhanced EDGE Coverage


In a GSM network, CS services and low-rate PS services (in CS1-CS4 or MCS1-MCS4 mode) use the
GMSK modulation scheme, and high-rate PS services (in MCS5-MCS9 mode) use the 8PSK modulation
scheme.
The peak power in 8PSK modulation scheme is higher than that in GMSK modulation scheme when the
average powers are the same. Compared with the maximum output power of the TRX in GMSK
modulation scheme, the maximum output power of the TRX in 8PSK modulation scheme is decreased to
a fixed extent. Thus, the maximum output power of the DTRX or multi-carrier TRX with high-rate PS
services is lower than that of the DTRX or multi-carrier TRX with CS services. As a result, the average
power in 8PSK modulation scheme is lower than that in GMSK modulation scheme. The MS receive
gain is related to the average transmit power of the BTS. Therefore, the PS services in 8PSK modulation
scheme cannot be provided on the edge of a cell, and thus the network performance does not reach the
optimum level.
In the existing network, the BSC controls multiple BTSs and manages BTS radio resources, and the BTS
handles services. In the case of PS services, the BTS determines whether to use GMSK or 8PSK
modulation scheme according to the service type of the BSC. In 8PSK modulation scheme, the
maximum transmit power of a TRX is improved through enhanced EDGE coverage so that the maximum
output power of high-rate PS services is the same as that of CS services. In this way, the average output
power of high-rate PS services in 8PSK modulation scheme is the same as that of CS services.
Regarding DTRX and multi-carrier TRX, enhanced EDGE coverage helps improve the maximum output
power of high-rate PS services through different mechanisms.
The maximum output power in 8PSK modulation scheme must not exceed that in GMSK modulation
scheme to avoid impacts on network planning.
Enhanced EDGE coverage helps improve network performance in the following ways:
 Increasing the network coverage so that the coverage area of high-rate PS services is almost the
same as that of CS services.
 Increasing the transmit power. The C/I of calls is improved. In this way, a higher-order modulation
scheme can be used to increase the uplink and downlink data rate.
Enhanced EDGE coverage is supported by the following BTSs and TRXs:
 Double-transceiver series base stations
DTRUs and DTRMs of BTS3012, BTS3012II, BTS3012AE, BTS3006C, and BTS3002E
 3900 series base stations
DBS3900, BTS3900, BTS3900A, BTS3900L, and BTS3900E

Neither QTRUs nor BTS3900B supports enhanced EDGE coverage.

Enhanced EDGE Coverage 3 DTRX

3 DTRX
3.1 Principles
If HIGHMODPWREN is set to ALLOWED, enhanced EDGE coverage is enabled. In this case, the
maximum output power of the TRX is increased by the value specified by UPGRADELEV8PSK. If the
BCCH TRX is to be enabled with enhanced EDGE coverage, MAINBCCHHIGHMODPWREN should be
set to ALLOWED. In this manner, the maximum output power of the BCCH TRX is increased by the
value specified by UPGRADELEV8PSK.
For the DTRX, if one of the two carriers that belong to the same cell and DTRX is idle at a transmit
moment, then PS services are transmitted by the two carriers at the same time. That is, dynamic
transmit diversity or dynamic PBT is used to transmit PS services. In this case, the maximum output
power of high-rate PS services can reach to a level as that of CS services when the DTRX is in
separated or combined transmit mode.

For details about dynamic transmit diversity, see Transmit Diversity Feature Parameter Description.
For details about dynamic PBT, see PBT Feature Parameter Description.

3.2 Application Scenarios


Enhanced EDGE coverage can be enabled only when the output power of a TRX reaches the maximum
value.
Whether each timeslot on TRX A can be enabled with enhanced EDGE coverage depends on the
transmission state of the same timeslot on TRX B that is on the same DTRX as TRX A. If the
transmission state is disabled, then the timeslots on TRX A can be enabled with enhanced EDGE
coverage. If one of the power amplifiers on TRX A and TRX B is power off, then enhanced EDGE
coverage cannot be started.
Enhanced EDGE coverage can be enabled only when both the power amplifiers on the two TRXs of a
DTRX are power on and the two TRXs belong to the same cell.
For Huawei 3900 series base stations, the implementation modes of enhanced EDGE coverage of a
DTRX vary according to the transmit and receive mode, as listed in Table 3-1. The DTRX of 3900 series
base stations is categorized into DRRU and DRFU. DRRU and DRFU differ in the following ways:
 A DRRU is used in distributed base stations. The transmit and receive mode of a DRRU is specified by
SndRcvMode.
 A DRFU is used in outdoor and indoor macro base stations. The transmit and receive mode of a DRFU
is specified by SndRcvMode1.

Enhanced EDGE Coverage 4 Multi-Carrier TRX

4 Multi-Carrier TRX
4.1 Principles
If HIGHMODPWREN is set to ALLOWED, enhanced EDGE coverage is enabled. In this case, the
maximum output power of the TRX is increased by the value specified by UPGRADELEV8PSK. If the
BCCH TRX is to be enabled with enhanced EDGE coverage, MAINBCCHHIGHMODPWREN should be
set to ALLOWED and the maximum output power of the BCCH TRX is increased by the value specified
by UPGRADELEV8PSK.
For a multi-carrier TRX, output power is shared among multiple TRXs so that the transmit power of TRX
in 8PSK modulation scheme is increased. The power amplifier of a multi-carrier TRX does not transmit
signals at full power in most cases due to power control or due to no traffic in some timeslots. In this case,
power margin exists. If the power margin is used by other 8PSK traffic channels on the same timeslot,
the maximum output power of the multi-carrier TRX in 8PSK modulation scheme may reach that of the
multi-carrier TRX in GMSK modulation scheme.

4.2 Application Scenarios


Enhanced EDGE coverage can be enabled only when the output power of a TRX reaches the maximum
value.
Enhanced EDGE coverage can be enabled if the capability of the power amplifiers on the multi-carrier
TRX is greater than the total output power required by the multi-carrier TRX.
After enhanced EDGE coverage is enabled, the total output power of the multi-carrier TRX must be
smaller than the capability of the power amplifiers on the multi-carrier TRX.

Enhanced EDGE Coverage 6 Engineering Guidelines

6 Engineering Guidelines
6.1 DTRX
6.1.1 Cell Configuration S2 or Lower
When a cell is in S2 configuration mode, a BCCH TRX can be enabled with enhanced EDGE coverage,
as shown in Figure 6-1. A non-BCCH TRX cannot be enabled with enhanced EDGE coverage because it
cannot transmit signals at full power.
Figure 6-1 DTRX with cell configuration S2

When a cell is in S1 configuration mode, one TRX works and another TRX is idle, as shown in Figure 6-2.
The power amplifier of the idle TRX is power off out of power saving. Therefore, enhanced EDGE
coverage cannot be enabled in this scenario.
Figure 6-2 DTRX with cell configuration S1

When a cell is in S2 or lower configuration mode, one of the TRXs of each DTRX serves a cell, as shown
in Figure 6-3. The two TRXs of the same DTRX belong to different cells, and thus dynamic PBT or
dynamic transmit diversity cannot be enabled. Therefore, enhanced EDGE coverage cannot be enabled
in this scenario.

Figure 6-3 DTRX with cell configuration S2 or lower and TRX shared by another cell

6.1.2 Cell Configuration S3


When a cell is in S3 configuration mode and two DTRXs are configured, the two DTRXs serve the cell,
as shown in Figure 6-4.
 If the BCCH DTRX is configured with only one TRX and the other DTRX is configured with two
non-BCCH TRXs, then both the BCCH TRX and non-BCCH TRXs can be enabled with dynamic PBT
or dynamic transmit diversity. Thus, enhanced EDGE coverage can be enabled.
 If the BCCH DTRX is configured with two TRXs and the other DTRX is configured with one non-BCCH
TRX, then only the BCCH TRXs can be enabled with enhanced EDGE coverage because they can be
enabled with dynamic PBT or dynamic transmit diversity. The non-BCCH TRX on the BCCH DTRX
and the non-BCCH TRX on the other DTRX cannot be enabled with enhanced EDGE coverage
because they cannot be enabled with dynamic PBT or dynamic transmit diversity.
Figure 6-4 DTRX with cell configuration S3

When a cell is in S3 configuration mode, two DTRXs are configured and one of them serve two cells, as
shown in Figure 6-5.
 If the BCCH TRX is configured on a DTRX that is shared by another cell, then the non-BCCH TRXs on
the other DTRX can be enabled with dynamic PBT or dynamic transmit diversity, and thus enhanced
EDGE coverage can be enabled.
 If the BCCH TRX is configured on a DTRX whose two TRXs serve the same cell, the BCCH TRX can
be enabled with dynamic PBT or dynamic transmit diversity, and thus enhanced EDGE coverage can

be enabled. Neither the two non-BCCH TRXs can be enabled with dynamic PBT or dynamic transmit
diversity. Thus, enhanced EDGE coverage cannot be enabled.
Figure 6-5 DTRX with cell configuration S3 and TRX shared by another cell

6.1.3 Cell Configuration S4 or Higher


When a cell is in S4 or higher configuration mode, the cell needs at least two DTRXs, as shown in Figure
6-6. The TRXs on which the BCCH TRX and non-BCCH TRXs are located can be enabled with dynamic
PBT or dynamic transmit diversity. Therefore, the TRXs can be enabled with enhanced EDGE coverage.
The non-BCCH TRXs that share a DTRX with BCCH TRXs cannot be enabled with dynamic PBT or
dynamic transmit diversity. Therefore, the non-BCCH TRXs cannot be enabled with enhanced EDGE
coverage.
Figure 6-6 DTRX with cell configuration S4 or higher

6.2 Multi-Carrier TRX


6.2.1 Cell Configuration S1
When a cell is in S1 configuration mode, a BCCH TRX serves the cell, as shown in Figure 6-7. If the
static power (that is determined by POWT and PWRSPNR) of the BCCH TRX equals the maximum
power output capability of the TRX, then the BCCH TRX cannot be enabled with enhanced EDGE
coverage. If the power type is lower than the maximum power output capability of the BCCH TRX, then
the BCCH TRX can be enabled with enhanced EDGE coverage.

Enhanced EDGE Coverage 6 Engineering Guidelines

Figure 6-7 Multi-carrier TRX with cell configuration S1

6.2.2 Cell Configuration S2 or Higher


When a cell is S2 configuration mode or higher, regarding consistency of TRX coverage within the cell,
some TRXs have at least two carriers and some have only one, as shown in Figure 6-8. This means that
the power output capability of the TRXs are not utilized to the greatest extent. If the TRXs are configured
with two carriers and at least one of them is BCCH carrier, then the BCCH carrier can be enabled with
enhanced EDGE coverage. Whether the non-BCCH carrier on the TRX can be enabled with enhanced
EDGE coverage depends on the static power (that is determined by POWT and PWRSPNR) of the
BCCH carrier and the power output capability of the TRX. If the power output capability of the TRX is
greater than the total power of the BCCH carrier and non-BCCH carrier, then the non-BCCH carrier can
be enabled with enhanced EDGE coverage. Otherwise, the non-BCCH carrier cannot be enabled with
enhanced EDGE coverage.
If the TRX is configured with at least three carriers or the TRX is configured with two non-BCCH carriers,
both the BCCH carriers or non-BCCH carriers can be enabled with enhanced EDGE coverage.
