S12 Hardware Requirements
General BSC hardware (HW) requirement:

• All BSCs need Pentium processing power with S12 release. BSS12 will
therefore require High Capacity BSC, i.e. BSCi, BSC2i or BSC3i product
configurations as stated in BSC SW TN 796.
• Memory requirement for all computer units (MCMU, OMU, BCSU) is
512 MB.
• Both first and second generation Packet Control Units (PCU1 & PCU2)
can be used with S12 basic release.
Application SW related HW requirements:

• New Application SW products Dual Transfer Mode (DTM), Extended
Dynamic Allocation (EDA) and High Multislot Classes (HMC) require
second generation PCU2 HW.

• In S12 release the statistics support in networks enable operators to follow up

behaviour of SAIC mobiles
• BSC recognizes SAIC MSs by Downlink Advanced Receiver Performance (DARP)
field.
• When transmitting to a SAIC mobile in this cell,
lower BTS transmit power can be used,

EDGE Ultra Site & Metro Site products
Benefits:
Improves overall network spectral
efficiency and quality

STIRC - Benefits
• Capacity Enhancement
• Better Uplink quality and average user data throughput
• Better spectral efficiency
• Improves traffic and control channel performance
• Less mobile TX power needed for quality based uplink power control
• Link Balance
• Re establish the link balance with the deployment of SAIC mobiles
• Improved near-far performance against co-channel interferers for tight frequency reuse
• Better support for indoor users

STIRC - Overview
• UL Receiver technology enhancement to current IRC Receiver Technology

• Improves interference rejection capability of the EDGE Ultra Site, Metro
Site & FlexiEDGE IRC receivers significantly
• For example, link level interference rejection performance of EDGE 8PSK
channel following gains under Typical Urban (TU) conditions:
• 2 way UL Diversity: on average 5 – 12 dB gains compared to IRC
• 4 way UL Diversity: on average 10 – 20 dB gains compared to IRC
• STIRC RF Performance in all condition is equal or better than IRC

STIRC - Summary
• STIRC is implemented to BTS base band DSP SW in such a way, that it
does not affect the BTS architecture or capacity of the BTS.
• STIRC is supported by EDGE TRX
• STIRC is not supported by a Non EDGE TRX
• All antenna configurations are supported,
• best performance is ensured with two or four way uplink diversity
configurations with co- or cross polarized antennas.
• Compatibility with Nokia Smart Radio Concept (SRC) is guaranteed.
• All forms of RF hopping: synthesizer, baseband and antenna hopping are
supported.
• STIRC is licensed capacity enhancement Feature

Multipoint A-Interface - Routing Mechanism
Selection of MSC
• When MS attempts location update or attachments to the network, MSC will be selected by
BSC serving the area where MS is currently located. Normally MSC selection is based on
NRI: Network Resource Identifier
• BSC shall be able to perform MSC selection also when e.g:
(a) received NRI is unknown for BSC,
(b) there is no NRI or
(c) MSC identified by NRI is unreachable.
In these cases load balancing between MSSs in the the pool will be taken into account by BSC.
• After NRI assigned, future transactions between MS and MSC are done towards the same
MSC

NRI: Network Resource Identifier

• MSC will be identified with NRI
• Length of the NRI can be from 0 to 10 bits
• NRI is part of the TMSI and it is located to bits 14 to 23 of TMSI.
• NAS (Non Access Stratum) Node Selection function - Assigns specific network
resources (of MSC)
• BSC masks NRI out of the TMSI, which is indicated in each initial NAS signalling message
• BSC routes the NAS message to the relevant MSC
• If no MSC address is configured for the requested NRI or if no NRI can be derived (e.g. the
MS indicated an identity which contains no NRI) then the BSC selects an available MSC
according to CGR (Circuit Group) load of each MSC’s SPC (Signaling Point Code)

• A TDMA frame consist of 8 timeslots
• A downlink TDMA frame is three timeslots ahead of the corresponding uplink TDMA
frame
• During a connection MS
1) Receives downlink radio block on assigned timeslot
2) Changes its radio frequency to uplink frequency
3) Transmits uplink radio block on assigned timeslot
4) Makes neighbour cell measurements on neighbour cell frequencies
5) Changes its radio frequency to downlink frequency

HMC - Introduction: MS Multislot class
• MS multislot class defines
• Maximum number of downlink timeslots (Rx)
• Maximum number of uplink timeslots (Tx)
• Maximum sum of downlink and uplink timeslots (Sum)
• Number of timeslots MS needs to change frequency from downlink to uplink (Tt)
• Number of timeslots MS needs to make neighbour cell measurements and change frequency to
downlink frequency (Tr)
Eg. MS multislot class 12

HMC - High Multislot Classes
• 3GPP release 4 or earlier MSs are limited to combined downlink and uplink timeslot sum
of 5; Classes 1-12
• 3GPP release 5 introduces new MS multislot classes which allow sum of downlink and
uplink timeslots of 6; Classes 30-45,
• New maximum allocation configurations

EDA
• PCU assigns USF to MS on each radio channel that is allocated to MS
• TSL may be shared by several GPRS/EDGE MSs
• During scheduling PCU uses the USF values in DL radio blocks to indicate which
MS is allowed to transmit in the following uplink radio block
• USF scheduling can be applied in two modes:
• Dynamic Allocation (DA)
• Extended Dynamic Allocation (EDA)

EDA- Uplink Access Methods
• Specified GPRS/EDGE uplink access methods:
• Dynamic Allocation: Multislot MS needs to monitor Uplink State Flag (USF) on each
timeslot allocated in Uplink direction.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
USF gives permission to send in the
DL USF USF USF USF corresponding uplink slot during the
next block period

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
• Extended Dynamic Allocation: Multislot MS monitors Uplink State Flag (USF) until it
receives it on one timeslot
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
USF gives permission to send in the
DL USF USF corresponding and all the later
allocated uplink slots during the
UL T T T T T T T T next block period.

MS power reduction
• MS may reduce uplink transmission power when multiple uplink timeslots are allocated
• Applied to dynamic allocation and extended dynamic allocation
• Applied to GSMK and 8-PSK modulation
• Applied to all frequency bands
• The reduced MS transmission power is taken into account together with the expected
quality of the radio path when
• selecting the number of uplink timeslots, and
• selecting the initial channel coding scheme for a new connection

HMC / EDA
• High Multislot Classes increase GPRS/EDGE peak downlink throughput to 296
kbit/s
• Extended Dynamic allocation increases GPRS/EDGE peak uplink throughput to
236.8 kbit/s
• Together they increase the downlink and uplink combined throughput
