Overview

Feature Introduction
In the 3GPP protocol, the enhanced Multi-Level Precedence and Preemption service
(eMLPP) is a supplementary service provided by the GSM system. The eMLPP
service involves multiple NEs, such as BSC, MSC, and HLR. ZTE BSC supports all
functions related with eMLPP.
ZGO-01-03-001 eMLPP
When the network is lack of radio channel resource, calls are put in the queue based
on the priority level. Once idle resources are available, high-priority users can access
first. After preemption is enabled, the high-priority user may preempt resources
originally allocated to low-priority calls. The preemption involves forced handover
and forced release.
Reserve channels for users of specified priority level. The reserved channels will be
used by the high-priority users at the time of assignment and handover.
You can configure different channel allocation policies for users of different priorities.

3.3
BSC does not start the preemption process but applies for channels in the target
cells one by one. If the channel allocation fails in the target cells, the system does
not resort to forced handover, forced release and queuing. According to the
parameter PriorityLevel, the system decides whether to allocate reserved channels,
and selects the channel priority selection strategy by PriorityLevel when BSC
decides to allocate the unreserved channels.
2.
If no channel is allocated after the system has tried the inner cells in the top of the
cell table and no outer cells are available, the system starts the preemption process
14
ZGO-01-03-001 eMLPP
and tries the target cell once again. The system tries the preemption and queuing to
obtain a channel in the target cell according to the settings (QueueInd_1,
PreemptionInd_1, and ForcedHoInd_1) of the parameters of the target cells, as
shown in Figure 2. The processing in the target cell is similar to the preemption flow
of the call setup flow mentioned in Section 3.2.
In case that outer candidate cells are available during handover, if all target cells before
the outer cells fail to apply for channels during the first resource application, that is,
preemption not recommended, BSC does not attempt to acquire channel through
preemption among inner cells but starts external handover. Based on whether the
handover is a rescue handover, BSC transmits the PREC flag, which indicates whether
preemption is recommended, to target BSC through the OLD BSC TO NEW BSC
parameter in HANDOVER REQUIRED message. The target BSC performs channel
preemption according to this parameter.
During inter-BSC handover, the target BSC decides whether to perform preemption
according to parameter configuration, PCI flag, and the PREC flag in OLD BSC TO

NEW BSC information element. The preemption process is the similar to that
described section 3.2. The difference is that different control parameters are used,
including QueueInd_1, PreemptionInd_1, and ForcedHoInd_1.

Engineering Guide
Application Scenario
When there are a small number of VIP users, configure reserved channels of a certain
quantity to ensure that the calls of important users can be established and maintained.
Queuing is an extensively-applied function and can relieve radio resources congestion.
When there are a wide variety of users, the eMLPP function can be used to realize
priority based radio resource allocation. Forced handover has little impact on users
of lower priority; forced release has major impact on users of lower priority and
therefore should be applied with care.

Network Impact
This feature, when applied, has the following impacts over the network:
1.
If the queuing function is enabled, then the opportunity for obtaining a wireless channel is
increased and the successful wireless connection rate can be increased;
If forced handover is enabled, the system can enable a high-priority user to successfully
access the system and the successful wireless connection rate is increased by handing
over the low-priority users out and release idle channel resources;
If forced release is enabled, the system enables a high-priority user to successfully
access the system and the successful wireless connection rate is increased by forcedly
releasing the low-priority users and idle channel resources.
2.
The queuing function, if enabled, has no direct impact over the call drop rate.
39
ZGO-01-03-001 eMLPP
If forced handover is enabled, the system releases idle channel resources by handing
over the low-priority users out and during this process possibility that the call is dropped
due the failure in handing over the low-priority users out exists, but the probability that the
call is dropped due to the failure in successfully handing over the high-priority user to
another cell is decreased.
If forced release is enabled, the call drop rate increases because call drop is caused to
low-priority users when the system releases idle channel resources by forcedly releasing
low-priority users, but the probability that the call is dropped due to the failure in handing
over the high-priority user decreases.
3.
Impact on Handover
40
ZGO-01-03-001 eMLPP
If forced handover is enabled, the system releases idle channel resources by handing
over low-priority users out to complete assignment or handover of high-priority user, thus
increasing the channel utilization efficiency.
If forced release is enabled, the system releases idle channel resources by forcedly
releasing the low-priority user to enable the high-priority user to successfully access the
system. Because the high-priority user occupies the channel instead of the low-priority
user, the overall wireless channel utilization efficiency is not influenced, but the
high-priority users preemption of the resources is manifested.
5.
Applying different channel allocation policies for users with different priorities can
ensure more appropriate channel utilization when channel resources are limited.
