2. Features of PS service

 Higher requirement on radio environment


 Radio transmission speed of PS service is high, so it has higher demand for radio
environment. This feature is more evident with EDGE.
 Greater need of resource
 PS service supports single subscriber to occupy more than one channels, therefore
it requires more channel resource than CS service does.
 Complex packet transmission mechanism
 Cell-reselection influence on PS service
 Cell-reselection may cause breakup in PS service, which has obvious impact on PS
service performance.
 Greater influence on radio side due to changes of CN and external
network environment
 The nature of PS service is to connect MS to network or other networks (WAP)
through GSM network, so problems with CN or external networks may bring great
impact on the radio performance.

1. What do PS service and CS service
optimization have in common?
 PS service quality depends on GSM network quality. PS service
has higher requirement for radio environment than CS service, so
it also needs to carry out the following items:
 Optimization of coverage;
 Optimization of frequency (Frequency Hopping and BCCH have low
reusability ) ;
 Optimization of adjacent cells;
 Checking of equipment operating status
 ……

2. Compared with PS service, what does CS
service focus on?
 PS service has higher requirement for radio environment
 It emphasizes more on the reasonability of radio frequency planning
 It has higher requirement for coverage strength
 Appropriate control over cell reselection is needed.

 PS service requires more channel resource


 More precise traffic model
 More reasonable channel configuration
 Reasonable configuration of PCU resource

3. In which aspects do PS service and CS service
may conflict with each other?
 One PS service subscriber can occupy several radio channels
simultaneously. Therefore it requires further expansion and
improvement of system resource to achieve high speed PS service.
 As PS service is increasing, competition for radio channels is now the
major conflict between PS service and CS service.

4. How to solve conflict in channel resource
between PS service and CS service?
 Preferentially satisfy resource needs of CS service
 For cells whose CS service and PS service are both very busy, satisfy CS service needs first. At least one
static PDCH should be guaranteed, so that PS service is usable.

 Reasonably configure dynamic PS channels, improve usability of channel resource


 Traffic models of PS service and CS service are usually different, especially in busy hours. We can
establish accurate traffic model of PS service, reasonably configure the static/dynamic PS channels, and
make them convert to TCHs when CS service is busy, PS channels when PS service is busy, so that the
utilization rate of channels will be improved.

 Reasonably set TRX occupation priority


 PS service channels are usually configured on TRX of BCCH, some of which are configured as dynamic
channels, so the BCCH TRX should have lower priority, so as to prevent dynamic PS channels from
being occupied by voice channels.

5. What’s the difference between the
coverage of PS service and CS service?
 CS service and PS service use the same network, while the coverage of
PS service is much smaller than that of CS service.
 GSM protocol stipulates that sensitivity of receiver under different
coding modes should not be the same. Normally, MS sensitivity under
coding modes MCS5 , MCS6 or MCS7 is -101dBm 、 -99dBm or -
96dBm, while that of CS service is -104dBm.
 8PSK modulation mode (coding mode MCS5-MCS9) is introduced in
EDGE system. Compared with that of GMSK coding mode of CS service,
its output power is lower by 4dB.

2. Why PS service has higher requirement for
C/I?
 PS service’s utilization efficiency of TRX is much higher than that of CS service, so it has
higher requirement for radio C/I. Advanced coding mode and fast moving speed require
better C/I.

3. What should be noticed in PS service
frequency planning?
 At the early stage of PS service development, PDCH was
configured on BCCH TRX.
 It’s not suggested to enable power control or DTX for PDCH timeslots.
PDCH on BCCH TRX (doesn’t support dynamic power control or DTX)
won’t bring interference to the network.
 In frequency planning, BCCH frequency is not often reused, so it doesn’t
bring much interference, therefore it can provide better C/I.
 BCCH TRX doesn’t support radio FH, which helps avoid influence of FH.

4. How to choose the initial coding mode?

 Advanced coding mode has higher requirement for radio environment, we should
choose appropriate coding mode according to radio environment.
 The recommended initial coding speed for DL is CS2/MCS6. When radio
environment is poor, the initial coding speed can be appropriately reduced.

EDGE provides two


methods for link
quality control:
LA link adaptation:
to retransmit with
low-speed coding
modes of the same
coding family.
IR incremental
redundancy: to
retransmit with the
same coding mode
and different
perforation mode,
and make joint
decoding.

5. Why cell reselection shall be avoided in PS
service?
 Cell-reselection during PS service will cause breakup of the current
service. The service has to be re-established after the reselection. Data
download and upload will be ceased during cell reselection, which
obviously affects the performance of PS service.
 Because there is no Handover in PS service, the service performance in
the moving course will be affected (reselection takes 5~6 seconds, while
handover only takes hundreds of milliseconds).

6. How will MS capability impact PS service
performance?
 Network speed is affected by several
factors: terminal equipment’s ability to
support multi-frames; whether the
terminal supports EDGE; the protocol
version supported by MS. Currently the
download speed of MS supporting EDGE
is 3 times as much as that of MS only
supporting GPRS.

7. Why CN and external networks often
influence PS service?
 Compared with CS service, network structure of PS service is more complex. The
essence of data network is to connect MS to network or other networks (WAP)
with GSM network. Once there is problem with external network or CN, the
service at radio side will be greatly impacted.

test results?

9. What is flow control? Why there is flow
control?
 When the flow at Gb interface, which is between SGSN and BSS,
is too large, a control of flow will be performed, which is
regarded as flow control. Flow control is executed (only on down
link) by SGSN with the control parameters provided by BSS.
 Aim of flow control
 To avoid abandoning some of the LLC data (Data stored in the cache over a
certain time will be discarded) because packet channels are too busy within a
BVC on BSS (too many buffered LLC frames);
 To avoid abandonment of the new DL LLC data because of memory
constraints (LLC buffer overflows).

10. How to configure flow control parameters?

 Currently two flow control modes (mode 1 and 2) are supported in our
systems. Its parameters shall be carefully checked when connected with
SGSN provided by other suppliers.
Flow control mode
must be set 2, when
SGSN are provided
by HW or Motorola.
As for SGSN from
other suppliers, there
is no specific
restriction on flow
control mode, but
usually mode 2 is
recommended.

5. What are the possible reasons of slow
network speed?

Influencing factors Corresponding actions

 Frequent cell reselection  Properly control coverage, C2


 Poor radio environment and CRH, reduce cell
 Improper setting of flow control reselection;

parameters  Check radio environment


 Insufficient system resource  Check setting of flow-control
 Limits in terminal equipment parameters

performance  Check system load


 Configure resources like
channels, PCU, etc.
 Update terminal equipment

6. How to control and reduce reselection in PS
service?
 Common methods as in CS:
 Adjust antenna down-tilt, control coverage, eliminate frequent reselection
due to lack of main coverage cell.
 Enable C2 algorithm, set parameters like CRO,PT, etc., to reduce reselection.

 Methods different from CS:


 When MS is under READU status, in cell reselection, C2 of adjacent cell must
be larger than the sum of serving cell’s C2 and CRH
 C2 ( adjacent cell ) >C2 ( serving cell ) +CRH
 Proper increase in CRH value may effectively reduce reselection and improve
DT down load speed.

7. How to improve radio environment?

 Radio environment is the generic term for coverage, interference


situations. Improvement in radio environment is quite helpful in
improving indicators of PS service.

8. What is Campell algorithm? How to use it to
optimize PS channels in cells? (1)
 Basing on the comprehensive consideration of all the services, Campell algorithm constructs
an equivalent service (which is also regarded as “intermediary service” or “virtual
service”). Computer system provides channel number of the service and the total equivalent
traffic, then outputs the capacity estimation of the mixed services.
Campell algorithm Equivalent service traffic Ex
integrates all the obtains the number of equivalent
services and convert channels through ErlB, then
PS service contains
different services,
2 them to one equivalent
service (virtual service),
multiplies it with comprehensive
service weight and gets the actual
whose bearing rate then outputs its traffic number of channels.
and traffic are also Ex and service weight
