Enhanced EDGE Coverage Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
The Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature is used to improve the maximum transmit power of a
transceiver (TRX) using 8 phase shift keying (8PSK) modulation schemes so that the
maximum output power of high-rate packet switched (PS) services reaches that of circuit
switched (CS) services. In this way, the average output power of high-rate PS services using
8PSK modulation schemes reaches that of CS services.
On a GSM network, CS services and low-rate PS services use Gaussian minimum shift-
frequency keying (GMSK) modulation schemes, such as Coding scheme 1 (CS-1) to CS-4
and modulation and coding scheme 1 (MCS-1) to MCS-4, and high-rate PS services use
8PSK modulation schemes, such as MCS-5 to MCS-9. The base station controller (BSC)
controls multiple base transceiver stations (BTSs) and manages BTS radio resources, and the
BTSs handle services. With PS services, the BTSs determine whether to use GMSK or 8PSK
modulation schemes according to the service type of the BSC.
The peak power with 8PSK modulation schemes is higher than that with GMSK modulation
schemes when the average power is the same. The maximum transmit power of a TRX using
8PSK modulation schemes is less than that of a TRX using GMSK modulation schemes.
Therefore, with 8PSK modulation schemes, the maximum transmit power of a DTRX or
multi-carrier TRX with high-rate PS services is lower than that of other TRXs with CS
services. As a result, the average power with 8PSK modulation schemes is lower than that
with GMSK modulation schemes. The receive gain of mobile stations (MSs) is related to the
average transmit power of the BTS. Therefore, PS services using 8PSK modulation schemes
cannot be provided on the edge of a cell, and the network performance does not reach the
optimum level. By using different implementation mechanisms for DTRXs and multi-carrier
TRXs, the Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature helps improve the maximum output power of
high-rate PS services. This feature can be enabled by setting the
EDGEPWREN(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to ALLOWED(Allowed).
The maximum output power with 8PSK modulation schemes must not exceed that with
GMSK modulation schemes to avoid impacts on network planning.
The Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature helps improve network performance in the following
ways:
l Increases the network coverage so that the coverage area of high-rate PS services is
almost the same as that of CS services.

GSM BSS
Enhanced EDGE Coverage Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
l Increases the transmit power and the carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR). This increases
the uplink and downlink data rate because MSs can use high-order coding modes.
The Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature is supported by the following BTSs and TRXs:
l Double-transceiver series base stations
DTRUs and DTRMs of BTS3012, BTS3012II, BTS3012AE, BTS3006C, and
BTS3002E
l 3900 series base stations
DBS3900, BTS3900, BTS3900A, BTS3900L, and BTS3900E
NOTE
Neither QTRUs nor the BTS3900B supports the Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature.

Enhanced EDGE Coverage Feature Parameter Description 3 DTRX
3 DTRX
3.1 Principles
If the HIGHMODPWREN(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to ALLOWED(Allowed),
the Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature is enabled. With is feature, the maximum output power
of a TRX increases by the value of the UPGRADELEV8PSK(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter. To enable this feature on the broadcast control channel (BCCH) TRX, set the
MAINBCCHHIGHMODPWREN(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to ALLOWED(Allowed)
so that the maximum output power of the broadcast control channel (BCCH) TRX increases
by the value of UPGRADELEV8PSK(BSC6900,BSC6910).
For a DTRX that consists of two TRXs serving the same cell, if one of the two TRXs is idle at
a transmit moment, PS services are transmitted using power amplifiers on the two TRXs at
the same time on the same timeslots. That is, dynamic transmit diversity or dynamic power
boost technology (PBT) is used to transmit PS services. This ensures that the maximum
output power of high-rate PS services reaches that of CS services when the DTRX works in
separated or combined transmit mode.
NOTE
For details about dynamic transmit diversity, see Transmit Diversity Feature Parameter Description.
For details about dynamic PBT, see PBT Feature Parameter Description .
3.2 Application Scenarios

The Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature can be enabled only when the output power of a TRX
reaches the maximum value.
For a DTRX that consists of TRXs A and B:
l Each timeslot on TRX A can be enabled with this feature only when the transmission
state of the same timeslot on TRX B is disabled.
l This feature can be enabled only when the power amplifiers on both TRXs are powered
on and the two TRXs belong to the same cell. If one of the power amplifiers on TRXs A
and B is powered off to save power, this feature cannot be enabled.
For Huawei 3900 series base stations, the implementation modes of enhanced EDGE
coverage of a DTRX vary depending on the transmit and receive mode, as listed in Table 3-1.

GSM BSS
Enhanced EDGE Coverage Feature Parameter Description 3 DTRX
The DTRX of 3900 series base stations is categorized into DRRU and DRFU. DRRU and
DRFU differ in the following ways:
l A DRRU is used in distributed base stations. The transmit and receive mode of a DRRU
is specified by the SndRcvMode(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
l A DRFU is used in outdoor and indoor macro base stations. The transmit and receive
mode of a DRFU is specified by the SndRcvMode1(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.

4.1 Principles
If the HIGHMODPWREN(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to ALLOWED(Allowed),
the Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature is enabled. With is feature, the maximum output power
of a TRX increases by the value of the UPGRADELEV8PSK(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter. To enable this feature on the BCCH TRX, set the
MAINBCCHHIGHMODPWREN(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to ALLOWED(Allowed)
so that the maximum output power of the BCCH TRX increases by the value of
UPGRADELEV8PSK(BSC6900,BSC6910).
For a multi-carrier TRX, output power is shared among multiple TRXs to increase the
transmit power of TRXs using 8PSK modulation schemes. Due to power control or a lack of
traffic on some timeslots, the power amplifier on a multi-carrier TRX does not transmit
signals at full power in most cases and therefore a power margin exists. If the power margin is
used by other 8PSK traffic channels on the same timeslot, the maximum output power of the
multi-carrier TRX using 8PSK modulation schemes may reach that of the multi-carrier TRX
using GMSK modulation schemes.
4.2 Application Scenarios

The Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature can be enabled only when the output power of a TRX
reaches the maximum value.
For a multi-carrier TRX:
l This feature can be enabled only when the capability of the power amplifiers on the
multi-carrier TRX is greater than the total output power required.
l After this feature is enabled, the total output power of the multi-carrier TRX must be
smaller than the capability of the power amplifiers on the multi-carrier TRX.

6 Engineering Guidelines
6.1 DTRX
6.1.1 Cell Configuration S2 or Lower

When a cell is in S2 configuration mode, the BCCH TRX can be enabled with the Enhanced
EDGE Coverage feature, as shown in Figure 6-1. A non-BCCH TRX cannot be enabled with
the Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature because it must transmit power continuously.
Figure 6-1 DTRX with cell configuration S2
When a cell is in S1 configuration mode, one TRX is activated and the other TRX is idle, as
shown in Figure 6-2. In this scenario, the Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature cannot be
enabled because the power amplifier of the idle TRX is powered off to save power.

GSM BSS
When a cell is in S2 or lower configuration mode, one TRX of each DTRX serves a cell, as
shown in Figure 6-3. In these modes, dynamic PBT or dynamic transmit diversity cannot be
enabled because two TRXs of the same DTRX serve different cells. Therefore, the Enhanced
EDGE Coverage feature cannot be enabled.
Figure 6-3 DTRX with cell configuration S2 or lower and TRX shared by another cell
6.1.2 Cell Configuration S3

When a cell is in S3 configuration mode and two DTRXs are configured, the two DTRXs
serve the cell, as shown in Figure 6-4.
l If the BCCH DTRX is configured with only one TRX and the other DTRX is configured
with two non-BCCH TRXs, both the BCCH TRX and non-BCCH TRXs can be enabled
with the Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature because they can be enabled with dynamic
PBT or dynamic transmit diversity.
l If the BCCH DTRX is configured with two TRXs and the other DTRX is configured
with one non-BCCH TRX, only the BCCH TRXs can be enabled with the Enhanced
EDGE Coverage feature because they can be enabled with dynamic PBT or dynamic
transmit diversity. The non-BCCH TRXs on neither the BCCH DTRX or the other

GSM BSS
DTRX can be enabled with the Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature because they cannot
be enabled with dynamic PBT or dynamic transmit diversity.
When a cell is in S3 configuration mode, two DTRXs are configured and one of them serve
two cells, as shown in Figure 6-5.
l If the BCCH TRX is configured on a DTRX that is shared by another cell, the non-
BCCH TRXs on the other DTRX can be enabled with the Enhanced EDGE Coverage
feature because they can be enabled with dynamic PBT or dynamic transmit diversity.
l If the BCCH TRX is configured on a DTRX whose two TRXs serve the same cell, the
BCCH TRX can be enabled with the Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature because it can
be enabled with dynamic PBT or dynamic transmit diversity. Neither of the two non-
BCCH TRXs can be enabled with the Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature because they
cannot be enabled with dynamic PBT or dynamic transmit diversity.

GSM BSS
Figure 6-5 DTRX with cell configuration S3 and TRX shared by another cell
6.1.3 Cell Configuration S4 or Higher

When a cell is in S4 or higher configuration mode, the cell needs at least two DTRXs, as
shown in Figure 6-6. The TRXs of DTRXs where the BCCH TRX and non-BCCH TRXs are
located can be enabled with dynamic PBT or dynamic transmit diversity. Therefore, the TRXs
can be enabled with the Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature. The non-BCCH TRXs that share
a DTRX with BCCH TRXs cannot be enabled with dynamic PBT or dynamic transmit
diversity. Therefore, the non-BCCH TRXs cannot be enabled with the Enhanced EDGE
Coverage feature.

GSM BSS

6.2 Multi-Carrier TRX

6.2.1 Cell Configuration S1
When a cell is in S1 configuration mode, the BCCH TRX serves the cell, as shown in Figure
6-7. If the static power (determined by POWT(BSC6900,BSC6910) and
PWRSPNR(BSC6900,BSC6910)) of the BCCH TRX equals the maximum power output
capability of the TRX, the BCCH TRX cannot be enabled with the Enhanced EDGE
Coverage feature. If the power type is lower than the maximum power output capability of the
BCCH TRX, the BCCH TRX can be enabled with the Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature.
Figure 6-7 Multi-carrier TRX with cell configuration S1

GSM BSS
6.2.2 Cell Configuration S2 or Higher

When a cell is in S2 or higher configuration mode, regarding consistency of TRX coverage
within the cell, some TRXs have at least two carriers and some have only one, as shown in
Figure 6-8.
This means that the power output capability of the TRXs is not utilized to the greatest extent.
If the TRXs are configured with two carriers and at least one of them is BCCH carrier, then
the BCCH carrier can be enabled with the Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature. Whether the
non-BCCH carrier on the TRX can be enabled with the Enhanced EDGE Coverage feature
depends on the static power (determined by POWT(BSC6900,BSC6910) and
PWRSPNR(BSC6900,BSC6910)) of the BCCH carrier and the power output capability of the
TRX. The non-BCCH carrier can be enabled with enhanced EDGE coverage only if the
power output capability of the TRX is greater than the total power of the BCCH carrier and
non-BCCH carrier.
If the TRX is configured with at least three carriers or the TRX is configured with two non-
BCCH carriers, BCCH carriers and non-BCCH carriers can be enabled with the Enhanced
EDGE Coverage feature.

PWRSP BSC690 SET MRFD- Configu Meaning: Finetune of the TRX power. During the
NR 0 GTRX 210301 ration static finetune of the TRX power, the BSC adjusts the
DEV Manage TRX power at a step of 0.2 dB. In some scenarios, the
ment losses vary depending on the tributaries where the
power is combined, and the power difference before
and after the power output is not an integral multiple
of 2 dB. As a result, the cabinet-top output power
cannot be adjusted at a step of 2 dB, and the TRX
output power cannot be consistent with the cabinet-top
output power. Therefore, this parameter provides a
smaller step that can adjust the cabinet-top output
power. If this parameter is set to "Default", its value is
changed to 0 and sent to the eGBTS. For other BTSs,
it will not be sent because some BTSs do not support
the power finetune function.
