3 Basic Principle
3.1.1 History of UMTS Voice
UMTS voice services consist of the AMR service (CS voice) and the VoIP service (PS voice). The traditional voice bearer scheme is voice over DCH. With the development of technologies and the enhancement of bearer efficiency, HSPA/HSPA+ is being increasingly used for voice bearer. Table 3-1 describes the development process of UMTS voice bearer technologies. Table 3-1 Development process of UMTS voice bearer technologies Protocol Release 3GPP Release 99 3GPP Release 4 3GPP Release 5 3GPP Release 6 3GPP Release 7 3GPP Release 8 CS Voice AMR-NB over DCH TFO, TrFO, and soft switch AMR-WB over DCH AMR over HSPA/HSPA+ PS Voice VoIP over DCH (IMS-based) VoIP over HSPA VoIP over HSPA+ (CPC) -

3.1.2 AMR Signal Processing

AMR services are 3G speech services. AMR services are classified into Adaptive Multi-Rate Narrowband (AMR-NB) services and Adaptive Multi-Rate - Wideband (WRFD-010613 AMR-WB) services. The voice sampling frequency and bandwidth of AMR-WB services are higher than those of AMR-NB services. Thus, compared with AMR-NB services, AMR-WB services provide better speech quality. Figure 3-1 AMR Signal Processing
Analog voice is sampled by A/D (analog to digit) and coded by PCM (PCM voice). The AMR coding is used to convert the PCM voice to AMR voice. The AMR modes and rates are controlled by the function of AMR Control (AMRC).
3.1.3 Source Controlled Rate

During a normal telephone conversation, the participants alternate so that, on the average, each direction of transmission is occupied about 50 % of the time. Source controlled rate (SCR) is a mode of operation where the speech encoder encodes speech frames containing only background noise with a lower bit-rate than normally used for encoding speech. A network may adapt its transmission scheme to take advantage of the varying bit-rate. Voice Activity Detector (VAD) on the TX side is used to check the activities of speech. If speech is inactive, the TX side transmits SID frame to the RX side. SID frame contains the evaluation of the background acoustic noise on the transmit (TX) side. When the RX side receives the SID frame, the RX side generates a noise similar to TX side, called comfort noise, during periods when the transmission is switched off. In addition to these functions, if the parameters arriving at the RX side are detected to be seriously corrupted by errors, the speech or comfort noise must be generated from substituted data in order to avoid seriously annoying effects for the listener.

4 Radio Bearers
4.1 Radio Bearer Scheme
The data of AMR service is classified into 3 classes (A, B, C) which stand for different significance. A is most important, B is in the next place and c is in the last places. Therefore, AMR RAB consists of 3 sub-flows (A, B, C). A has a higher priority than B and C. The CN transmits three sub-flows to the RNC, and then the RNC sets up three RBs by using TM RLC to carry the three sub-flows. Each sub-flow is carried on one DCH.
RAB 0# and RAB 1# are used for CS AMR. Index 0 1 CN Domain CS CS Traffic Class Conversational Conversational Source Statistics Descriptor Speech Speech MBR (kbit/s) 12.2 23.85 Direction DL/UL DL/UL
AMR also can be carried on HSPA (DL HS-DSCH and UL E-DCH).For details, see Voice over HSPA. You need to set CSVoiceChlType to DCH to make sure that AMR is carried on DCH
4.2 AMR Rate Set

The codec rates of AMR services can be adjusted according to the change of radio environments to achieve better speech quality. Voice has a period close to 20 ms. So the voice is sampled and processed every 20 ms. AMR rate is calculated in the following equations. AMR rate = A + B + C / 20ms. A, B, C stands the size of voice data for each sub-flows. Example 12.2kbit/s = [81+103+60] bit / 20 ms.
AMR-NB Rate Set

For AMR-NB, the voice bandwidth is from 200 Hz to 3400 Hz and the sampling frequency is 8 kHz. The rate is show as follows: Table 4-1 AMR-NB sub-flows Rate (kbit/s) Sub-flow A (bit) 4.75 5.5 5.9 6.7 7.4 7.95 10.2 42 49 55 58 61 75 65 12.2 SID No data (0) 81 39 0

For AMR-WB, the voice bandwidth is from 50 Hz to 7000 Hz and the sampling frequency is 16 KHz. The rates are shown as follows: Table 4-2 AMR-WB sub-flows Rate (kbit/s) Sub-flow A (bit) 23.85 23.05 19.85 18.25 15.85 14.25 12.65 8.85 6.6 SID No Data(0) 72 72 389 0 72 325 0 72 293 0 72 245 0 72 213 0 72 181 0 64 113 0 54 78 0 40 0 0 0 0 0
Sub-flow B (bit) 405 Sub-flow C (bit) 0
4.3 Initial Bit Rate

In the UL, the Initial Bit Rate (IBR) is not only the maximum permissible rate in the initial communication phase, but also the maximum rate that the UL AMRC function can select. It is equal to the maximum rate in the UL controllable rate set. In the DL, the IBR is the maximum permissible rate in the initial communication phase. RNC calculates IBR in the following way:
z
When the AMRC function is enabled,

If If
the cell load is normal, then IBR = max {GBR, IBRmax}.
the cell is in the basic congestion state, then IBR = GBR. For details about basic congestion, see the Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
When the AMRC function is disabled, IBR = max {GBR, IBRmax}.
IBRmax is the maximum IBR and is calculated in the following way:

z
IBRmax = min (MBRRAB, MBRLMT)

MBRRAB is MBRLMT
the maximum rate in the rate set in the RAB assignment message.
is the maximum rate configured based on user priority (ADD UCELLAMRC and ADD UCELLAMRCWB)
The minimum IBR cannot be lower than the GBR. If the maximum rate of user priority-based services is lower than the GBR, the IBR is set to the GBR.
4.4 Controllable Rate Set

Controllable rate set consists of the AMR codec rates that are contained in the supported rate set and are higher than or equal to the GBR. The rates in this set can be selected by the AMRC function for rate adjustment. Supported rate set consists of all the AMR codec rates that can be used for service transport.

For example: Assume that the supported rate set is {0, SID, 4.75 kbit/s, 7.95 kbit/s, 12.2 kbit/s} and the GBR is 4.75 kbit/s. Then, the controllable rate set is {4.75 kbit/s, 7.95 kbit/s, 12.2 kbit/s}. SID stands for Silence Indicator. It can be used to maintain a session when there is no data.s The controllable AMR rate set is valid only when the AMRC function is enabled. The following table lists the controllable AMR rate set. Link Direction DL Iu UP Version Controllable Rate Set 2 {GBR, , MBR} {GBR, , MBR} consists of all the rates that are carried in the RAB assignment message and are higher than or equal to the GBR.

5.1 Overview
RNC uses the AMRC function to adjust AMR codec rates. This function is implemented by the RNC. It dynamically adjusts the codec rates according to the link stability, cell congestion state. The UL AMRC and the DL AMRC function work independently.
z z z
AMRC Based on LDR AMRC Based on TFO/TrFO AMRC Based on Link Stability (see 6 Link Stability Control for AMR)
The AMRC function is controlled by the parameter CsSwitch > CS_AMRC_SWITCH.
5.2 AMRC Based on LDR

AMRC based on LDR is one task of Load Reshuffling (LDR). For details about the LDR function, see Load Control. When the cell enters the LDR state (also called basic congestion state) triggered by power, the maximum permissible UL or DL AMR rate is decreased to the GBR in the UL or DL controllable rate set. When the cell enters the LDR state, the rate is not increased. To enable the AMRC based on LDR, do as follows:
z
Turn on the LDR switch. Example, MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH: CellId=4500, NBMLdcAlgoSwitch=ULLDR-1&DLLDR-1 Select the AMRC as one of the actions in LDR state. Example, MOD UCELLLDR: CellId=4500, DlLdrFirstAction=AMRRateRed, DlLdrSecondAction=NoAct;

5.3 AMRC Based on TFO/TrFO

Overview
TFO/TrFO (WRFD-011600 TFO/TrFO) is Tandem Free Operation/Transcoder Free Operation. The function is used to prevent tandeming codecs in the traditional UE-UE calling procedure. As shown in Figure 5-1, the traditional procedure includes two coding operations and two decoding operations, thus leading to deterioration in speech quality. The deterioration is more noticeable when the speech codecs are operating at low rates. Figure 5-1 Traditional speech codec tandem operation
When the calling party and the called party use the same codec rate, the compressed speech frames may be transparently transmitted between the two parts, without the need of the second coding and decoding. This improves the speech quality. TFO/TrFO is introduced for this purpose. For TFO, there is a pair of codec in transmission path in the network, but the two codec are bypassed. For TrFO, there is no codec in the transmission path in the network. For details about TFO and TrFO, see the 3GPP TS 28.062.
AMRC for TFO/TrFO

AMRC supports the adjustment of the maximum permissible AMR codec rate that is triggered by the peer RNC. For AMR service, the local downlink is the peer uplink. So if the local is going to adjust the downlink, the peer should adjust the uplink. Before TFO/TrFO is applied, the codec in the CN close to the UE perform the rate adaption. After TFO/TrFO is applied, the codec is not configured or bypassed.
z
If the DL codec rate needs to be adjusted (triggered by LDR or link stability control), the local RNC sends the rate adjustment command to the peer RNC through CN. The peer RNC further determines whether to perform rate adjustment according to the AMRC function. If the RNC receives the rate adjustment command from the peer end, it adjusts the UL rate at the local end to the maximum rate that is closest to or equal to but not higher than the rate requested by the peer end.
To enable the AMRC based on TFO/TrFO, you need to turn on the AMRC switch CsSwitch > CS_AMRC_SWITCH and the Iu-UP version switch CsSwitch > CS_IUUP_V2_SUPPORT_SWITCH.

6.1 Basic Principle
6.1.1 Overview
When the UL TX power of the UE or the DL TCP of the DPDCH exceeds the associated threshold, the link stability control function for AMR speech services triggers a rate decrease, an inter-frequency handover, or an inter-RAT handover, so as to guarantee the stability of links. These actions are controlled by individual switches but are performed in this fixed sequence: firstly, rate decrease, secondly, inter-frequency handover or last inter-RAT handover. The following table shows the basic principle of AMRC based on link stability.

6.1.2 UL Stability Control

UL stability control is as follows:

RNC can adjust the rate according to events received.
the current rate is the GBR and the RNC receives a report on event 6A1 or 6D or the UL AMRC timer expires, the RNC performs inter-frequency handover or inter-RAT handover. the RNC receives a report of event 6A1 or 6D, the RNC performs inter-frequency handover or inter-RAT handover.
If AMRC is disabled,
If
The handover triggered by link stability is specified by the following parameter:

z z z
If the UL AMR inter-frequency handover switch (UlQosAmrInterFreqHoSwitch or UlQosWAmrInterFreqHoSwitch) is set to YES, the function triggers an inter-frequency handover. If the UL AMR inter-RAT handover switch (UlQosAmrInterRatHoSwitch or UlQosWAmrInterRatHoSwitch) is set to YES, the function triggers an inter-RAT handover. If both the switches are set to YES, inter-frequency measurement and inter-RAT measurement are started at the same time. Then, the RNC decides whether to perform an inter-frequency or inter-RAT handover based on the first report received from the UE.
6.1.3 DL Stability Control

DL stability control is as follows:
z
If AMRC is enabled, periodical report is applied and RNC determines the events E1, E2, F1 and F2.
The If
RNC can adjust the rate according to events received.
the current rate is the GBR and the RNC receives a report of E1, the RNC performs inter-frequency handover or inter-RAT handover for the UE.
If AMRC is disabled, event report is applied and the NodeB reports the events Ea and Eb. Event F is not required because there is no rate adjustment.
If the RNC receives a report of event Ea, the RNC performs inter-frequency handover or inter-RAT handover for the UE.
The handover triggered by link stability is specified by the following parameter:

z
If the DL AMR inter-frequency handover switch (DlQosAmrInterFreqHoSwitch or DlQosWAmrInterFreqHoSwitch) is set to YES, the function triggers an inter-frequency handover.

z z
If the DL AMR inter-RAT handover switch (DlQosAmrInterRatHoSwitch or DlQosWAmrInterRatHoSwitch) is set to YES, the function triggers an inter-RAT handover. If both the switches are set to YES, inter-frequency measurement and inter-RAT measurement are started at the same time. Then, the RNC decides whether to perform an inter-frequency or inter-RAT handover based on the first report received from the NodeB.
6.2 Link Stability Measurement

Overview
Link stability measurement for AMR services is performed to trigger link stability control for AMR services. Stability Measurement Items for AMR Services Measurement Item Event Description The UE measures UL TX power and report the events to the RNC.

The NodeB periodically measures and reports downlink DPCCH pilot power to the RNC.The RNC converts it to the DPDCH power and triggers the respective events by comparing the power with the the threshold. The NodeB periodically measures the power of DPCCH pilot and coverts it to the DPDCH power. When the measurement reaches the threshold, the NodeB triggers the respective events and periodically reports the measurements to the RNC.

UL Measurement for 6A1/6B1/6A2/6B2/6D

Measurement results serve as the basis of AMRC. By comparing the measurement results with associated thresholds, the UE reports corresponding events. Then, the RNC takes corresponding AMRC actions. UL AMRC events consist of 6A1, 6A2, 6B1, 6B2, and 6D. These events indicate different states of TX power of the current UE. After establishing an AMR speech service, the RNC sends the following information to the UE through a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message:
z z
Threshold of event 6A1, 6B1, 6A2, 6B2, or 6D for TX power Time to trigger event 6A1, 6B1, 6A2, 6B2, or 6D
Then, the UE measures the TX power in real time, filters the measurement results, and takes corresponding actions:
z
If the UE TX power is above the threshold of event 6A1 for TX power for a period of time specified by UlAmrTrigTime6A1, event 6A1 is triggered.

WCDMA RAN AMR
If the UE TX power is below the threshold of event 6B1 for TX power for a period of time specified by UlAmrTrigTime6B1, event 6B1 is triggered. If the UE TX power is below the threshold of event 6B2 for TX power for a period of time specified by UlAmrTrigTime6B2, event 6B2 is triggered. If the UE TX power is above the threshold of event 6A2 for TX power for a period of time specified by UlAmrTrigTime6A2, event 6A2 is triggered. If the UE TX power is equal to the maximum TX power for a period of time specified by UlAmrTrigTime6D, event 6D is triggered.
Each time a measurement event is triggered, the UE sends a measurement event report to the UTRAN through a MEASUREMENT REPORT message. Then, the UL AMRC function performs corresponding control tasks according to the report. Events 6A1, 6A2, 6B1, and 6B2 have different thresholds, as shown in Figure 6-1. Figure 6-1 UL events and thresholds
As shown in Figure 6-1, the maximum UL TX power for conversational services is specified by the parameter MaxUlTxPowerforConv. Delta_6a1, Delta_6b1, Delta_6a2, and Delta_6b2 are relative thresholds, which are the differences between the absolute thresholds of events 6A1, 6B1, 6A2, and 6B2 for TX power and the maximum UL TX power of conversational service. They are specified by the parameters UlThd6A1, UlThd6B1, UlThd6A2, and UlThd6B2 respectively. The absolute thresholds are calculated according to the following formulas:
z z z z
Threshold of event 6A1 for TX power = MaxUlTxPowerforConv UlThd6A1 Threshold of event 6B1 for TX power = MaxUlTxPowerforConv UlThd6B1 Threshold of event 6A2 for TX power = MaxUlTxPowerforConv UlThd6A2 Threshold of event 6B2 for TX power = MaxUlTxPowerforConv UlThd6B2
The threshold of event 6D is the maximum TX power of the UE.

DL Measurement for Event E1/E2/F1/F2

Measurement results serve as the basis of AMRC. By comparing the measurement results with associated thresholds, the RNC takes corresponding AMRC actions. DL AMRC events consist of E1, E2, F1, and F2. These events indicate different states of TX power of the current DPDCH. The RNC adjusts the maximum permissible DL AMR codec rate according to the reported events. After establishing a service, the RNC requests the NodeB to periodically send measurement reports on the DL transmitted code power (TCP) in the pilot field of the DPCCH. After receiving the request, the NodeB sends the measurement reports of the TCP to the RNC periodically. After receiving the measurement reports, the RNC converts the measured DL TCP in the pilot field of the DPCCH into the average TX power of the DPDCH. Then, the RNC compares the average DPDCH TX power with the thresholds of events E1, E2, F1, and F2 to determine the type of event.
z z z z
When the average TX power of the DPDCH is above the threshold of event E1 for TX power, event E1 is triggered. When the average TX power of the DPDCH is below the threshold of event E2 for TX power, event E2 is triggered. When the average TX power of the DPDCH is below the threshold of event F1 for TX power, event F1 is triggered. When the average TX power of the DPDCH is above the threshold of event F2 for TX power, event F2 is triggered.
Events E1, E2, F1, and F2 have different thresholds, as shown in Figure 6-3.

WCDMA RAN AMR
Figure 6-3 DL events and thresholds
The maximum DL DPDCH TX power shown in Figure 6-3 is specified by the parameter RlMaxDlPwr. Delta_E1, Delta_E2, Delta_F1, and Delta_F2 are relative thresholds, which are the differences between the absolute thresholds of events E1, E2, F1, and F2 for TX power and the maximum DL DPDCH TX power. They are specified by the parameters DlThdE1, DlThdE2, DlThdF1, and DlThdF2 respectively. The absolute thresholds are calculated according to the following formulas:
z z z z
Threshold of event E1 for TX power = PPCPICH + RlMaxDlPwr DlThdE1 Threshold of event E2 for TX power = PPCPICH + RlMaxDlPwr DlThdE2 Threshold of event F1 for TX power = PPCPICH + RlMaxDlPwr DlThdF1 Threshold of event F2 for TX power = PPCPICH + RlMaxDlPwr DlThdF2
PPCPICH is the power for P-CPICH. RlMaxDlPwr is the power offset relative to P-CPICH.
DL Measurement for Event Ea/Eb

Event E is used to check whether the DL power is excessively high. Event E can trigger a DL rate decrease. Event E consists of event Ea and event Eb. According to the measurement result of DL TX power in the pilot field of the DPCCH, event E is triggered as follows:
z
If the TX power in the pilot field of the DPCCH is above the threshold of event Ea for a period of time specified by DlAmrTrigTimeE, event Ea is triggered. Then, the NodeB periodically reports the measurement results of TX power to the RNC. The period for the NodeB to report measurement results is specified by the parameter ChoiceRptUnitForAmrE, TenMsecForAmrE, or MinForAmrE.. If the TX power in the pilot field of the DPCCH is below the threshold of event Eb for a period of time (DlAmrTrigTimeE), event Eb is triggered.
The threshold of event E is related to services. The relative threshold of event Ea or Eb is calculated according to the following formula:
6-12 Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd Issue 01 (2010-12-20)
WCDMA RAN AMR
E threshold = Maximum DL power Relative threshold + PO3 In the equation:

z z z z
E threshold is the relative threshold of event Ea or Eb. PO3 is the offset from the TX power in the pilot field of the DPCCH to the TX power of the DPDCH. Relative threshold is the relative threshold of event Ea or Eb, specified by the parameter ThdEa or ThdEb respectively. Maximum DL power is the maximum DL TX power of DPDCHs.
6.3 AMRC based on Link Stability

UL Rate Adjustment
The UL AMRC function is based on uplink UE TX power. The UL AMRC function can adjust the maximum permissible UL AMR codec rate in the controllable rate set by only one level each time. The detailed process is as follows:
z
If the report on event 6A1 or 6D is received, the maximum permissible UL AMR codec rate is decreased. Rate decrease is performed continually until the report on event 6B1 or 6B2 is received. If the rate is the GBR before the rate decrease or if the rate decrease fails, an inter-frequency or inter-RAT handover is performed. If the report on event 6B2 is received and the UL load is normal, the maximum permissible AMR codec rate is increased. Rate increase is performed continually until the report on event 6A2 or 6A1 is received. If the rate is already the maximum rate in the controllable rate set before rate increase, rate increase is not performed.
The timer is specified by the parameter AmrUlRateAdjTimerLen/ WAmrUlRateAdjTimerLen. This parameter specifies the duration of waiting for the voice quality enhanced acknowledgement after the UL AMR mode adjustment when the associated command is delivered. After each adjustment, the UL rate adjustment waiting timer for AMR service is started to avoid frequent adjustment and stops when the next measurement report is received. If no measurement report is received when the UL AMRC timer expires, you can infer that the measured value remains in the same state as that before the previous UL AMRC mode adjustment. The previous AMRC mode adjustment is not effective, and another adjustment is required.
DL Rate Adjustment
The DL AMRC function adjusts the maximum permissible DL AMR codec rate in the controllable rate set based on the TX power of the DPDCH. This function can adjust the rate by only one level each time. The detailed process is as follows:
z
If the report on event E1 is received, the maximum permissible DL AMR codec rate is decreased. Rate decrease is performed continually until the power is below the threshold of event E2. If the rate is the GBR before the rate decrease or if the rate decrease fails, an inter-frequency or inter-RAT handover is performed. If the report on event F1 is received and the DL load is normal, the maximum permissible AMR codec rate is increased. Rate increase is performed continually until the power is above the threshold of event F2. If the rate is already the maximum rate in the controllable rate set before rate increase, rate increase is not performed.

Because each action is performed by its algorithm module, the LDR algorithm only selects users and delivers control messages, the execution result of each action can be obtained after a delay, and the LDR algorithm cannot wait for a long time, so the LDR can only judge whether the actions succeed by whether candidate users are found. The inter-frequency load handover has no impact on the QoS of users and can balance the cell load, so the inter-frequency load handover usually serves as the first action.

GUI Value Range: 0~82 Actual Value Range: 0~82 Unit: dB Default Value: None WAmrUlRateAdjTi BSC690 SET Meaning: Timer for triggering a second adjustment merLen 0 UQOSACT(Optional) of the UL WAMR mode. This parameter specifies the duration of waiting for the voice quality enhanced acknowledgement after the UL WAMR mode adjustment when the associated command is delivered. The UL WAMR rate adjust timer starts when AMRC mode adjustment procedure is triggered, and stops when the next measurement report is received. If no measurement report is received when the UL AMRC timer expires, you can infer that the measured value remains in the same state as that before the previous UL AMRC mode adjustment. The previous AMRC mode adjustment is not effective, and another adjustment is required. GUI Value Range: 20~64000 Actual Value Range: 20~64000 Unit: ms Default Value: 3000
