Dynamic Abis

 What is an EDAP?
•Introduced in BSS10.5ED and mandatory for the utilisation of
the Nokia EGPRS system.
TS Bits used in timeslots
•Each frame includes 8 bits for each 64-kbps timeslot. 0

•One 16 kbps (2 bits) is called SUB-TSL (ABIS ch).

•The Dynamic Abis is managed by the PCU (i.e. resource 7

• used when TRX not in EDGE mode
• only able to carry CS-1 and CS-2 CS-2 M + S

• PCU master data frame CS-4 M + S
• used when TRX is in EDGE mode
MCS-1 M
• carries CS-1 or MCS-1 on its own and CS-2...CS-

 DL Data Scheduling Example
• There are enough EDAP resources to handle adequately data transfers and MCS
requests if the EGPRS channels are less than EDAP PCM TSL.

 EDAP Limitations
• Maximum pool size is 12 PCM TSLs.
• DAP can be shared by multiple TRXs.
• One DSP core can handle only one DAP but one EDAP can be handled by
several DSP.
• The traffic and signaling timeslots including the dynamic pool for each TRX must be
located in the same E1 frame.

 DSP Calculation
• EGPRS channel = 12 DSP0 DSP2 DSP1 DSP3

• 4 TSLs DAP = 16
• One DSP only can handle 20 channels, so total DSP4 DSP6 DSP5 DSP7
28 channels (12+16) will be handled by 2 DSPs.
• Maximum only 16 DSPs, so maximum PCU can
DSP8 DSP10 DSP9 DSP11
handle is 8 DAP only.
