Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
In a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) system, an uplink is a radio link for
transmitting signals from a mobile station (MS) to a base transceiver station (BTS) while a
downlink is for transmitting signals from a BTS to an MS. The transmission of Time Division
Multiple Access (TDMA) frames in the uplink always lags behind that of TDMA frames in the
downlink by three bursts, about 1730 µs.
Transmission delay always occurs between the MS and the BTS due to MS mobility. To
compensate for the transmission delay, the MS must transmit signals to the BTS by a certain
period in advance. The period is referred to as a timing advance (TA). An MS in dedicated mode
must transmit signals using an appropriate TA. Otherwise, the synchronization between the MS
and the BTS fails. In a GSM system, the Adjustment of Adaptive Timing Advance feature is
applied to ensure that each MS in dedicated mode uses an appropriate TA. The signals
transmitted by different MSs can therefore arrive at the BTS in sequence to avoid signal conflict
and MS intervention.

Description 3 Technical Description
3 Technical Description
With the Adjustment of Adaptive Timing Advance feature, the TA offset of an MS can be
reduced to ±1 symbol.
In a GSM system, TDMA technology is applied over the Um interface. Each MS must transmit
signals in the assigned timeslot, and the BTS must receive the signals in the corresponding
timeslot. Figure 3-1 shows the delay offset of signals received by the BTS when the MS is
traveling away from position P1, to P2, and then to P3.
If the MS originally occupies timeslot 1 (TS1), the signals transmitted by the MS are expected
to arrive at the BTS in TS1, as shown in Figure 3-1. When the MS is close to the BTS, the
transmission delay is short, and the BTS can receive signals from the MS right in TS1. As the
MS travels away from the BTS, the transmission delay is prolonged and the signals transmitted
by the MS may arrive at the BTS in the next TS if the TA is not adjusted. For example, when
the MS moves to P3, some signals from the MS arrive in TS2, as shown in Figure 3-1. These
signals are overlapped by the signals that are from other MSs and also arrive in TS2, and therefore
they cannot be decoded appropriately.
Figure 3-1 Signal reception with TA unchanged
To resolve this problem, the base station subsystem (BSS) monitors the required transmission
time of each signal from the MS to the BTS and informs the moving MS of TA adjustment.
Then, the MS transmits signals with the adjusted TA. This ensures that all signals from the MS
can be received by the BTS in TS1, as shown in Figure 3-2.

GSM BSS
Description 3 Technical Description
A TA value ranges from 0 µs to 233 µs and affects the radio coverage of cells.
Figure 3-2 Signal reception with adjusted TA
In a GSM system, the TA value is an integer ranging from 0 to 63. This value refers to the time
required for transmitting 0- to 63-bit data over the Um interface. If the TA value is 0, the MS
does not need to transmit signals in advance. If the TA value is 63, the distance between the MS
and the BTS is approximately 35 km, the maximum. If the MS transmits signals at a distance
greater than 35 km, the signals arrive at the BTS in the next timeslot and cannot be decoded
appropriately. With the Adjustment of Adaptive Timing Advance feature, the TA offset of the
MS can be reduced to ±1 symbol. By setting MAXTA(BSC6900,BSC6910), the BSC can specify
the maximum TA value of MSs in each cell. It is recommended that MAXTA
(BSC6900,BSC6910) of MSs in common cells be set to 62.
During a call, the distance between an MS and the BTS changes with the MS movement.
Therefore, the TA value must be adjusted in real time. By default, the BTS notifies an MS of
the TA value over the SACCH at an interval of 480 ms (a measurement report period). Actually,
if the TA value changes by 1 bit, the distance between the MS and BTS changes by 553.8 m.
Assuming that an MS moves at 300 km/h, the 1-bit TA value change takes about 6.6s. To prevent
TA value overadjustment, enable the TA adjustment optimization function by setting
TAAdjOptSw(BSC6900,BSC6910) to ON(On). While the TA adjustment optimization function
is effective, an interval for the TA adjustment in the same direction is required, which is specified
by TAAdjIntv(BSC6900,BSC6910).
