How to achieve faster voice call setup time in Nokia

RAN

• Call setup time can be optimized in Nokia

RAN Mobile to mobile call setup times with GCD3.0
• Use Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB)
13.6kbit/s 8.00

7.00
• Activation Time Offset (ATO) can be tuned
for shorter call setup time starting in RN2.0 6.00

GCD3.0. 5.00 Average lab

Seconds
Minimum lab
• Optimal ATO range is 300-700ms 4.00
Average pilot

• There is a clear trade-off between shorter 3.00 Minimum pilot

ATO and call setup success rate 2.00

• 300ms can bring 0.3-0.4 %-unit 1.00

decrease in call setup success rate and 0.00

SRB3.4 SRB3.4 SRB13.6 SRB13.6
500ms 0.1-0.2 %-unit degradation ATO 700ms ATO 300ms ATO 700ms ATO 300ms

compared to 700ms
• Recommendation 500ms

Clear improvement in Call Setup

Time with SRB 13.6kbit/s and ATO
300ms

 How to achieve faster PS data call setup time in Nokia
RAN

• SRB bit rate and ATO will impact

also data call setup time
• Faster packet call setup times can be
achieved by:
• activating Cell_PCH
• using always on PDP context

Always-on PDP context + PCH

state can make setup time faster
today
