Features to be implemented in the Airtel Moto Swap Project

EICC

EICC is used mainly in high traffic network where tight frequency reuse is in place
and in situation where the noise of a single interfering source is limited and is
developed from ICC which is a multi-antenna combining technique. In tight
frequency reuse scenarios, the interfering signals at diverse antenna may come
from the same interfering source, therefore a certain correlation exists among the
interfering signals. EICC uses this correlation when combining the signals of the two
antennas to eliminate certain interference which improves the speech quality and
data throughput in situations with strong interference. EICC considers both space
correlation and time correlation to suppress and eliminate interference.

Huawei III Power Control Algorithm

The aim of power control is to achieve the desired QoS with minimum possible
transmit power. Huawei II Power Control Algorithm involves MR interpolation, MR
filtering, calculation of FH gain and calculation of adjustment step based on the FH
gain. Power control is necessary to adjust and control the transmit power of both MS
and BTS in order to reduce interference and decrease power consumption in a
network with tight frequency reuse as well as high traffic volume area. The decision
on power adjustment is made on the basis of the specified thresholds, receive level
and receive quality on uplink and downlink as reported by the BTS. It must be
enabled in the cell where IBCA algorithm is to be enabled.

Discontinuous Transmission (DTX)

Discontinuous transmission reduces data to be transmitted during inactive speech

periods, thus reducing the system interference and saving system resources. It also
reduces the workload of the TX module of the MS, thus enabling the MS to enjoy a
longer call duration and standby time.

Multi Carrier Intelligent Voltage Regulation per TRX

TRX working voltage adjustment is a feature through which the BTS measures the
downlink transmit power of the TRX in real time and adjusts its working voltage on
the basis of the downlink load power in the case that the TRX does not transmits
signal at the maximum transmit power.

BSC Local Switch

BSC local switch is triggered when the BSC detects that the calling MS and the
called MS of a call are under the same BSC. It reduces the number of transmission
resources required by a local call and also reduces cost. After BSC local switching is
enabled, the speech signals are looped back to the BTS on the BSC side. Also, idle
frames are sent to the core network through the A interface board. In this way, the
transmission resources between the BSC and the TC are released.

Configuration of BSC Local Switch

SET BTSLSW: ISSUPPORTBTSLSWITCH=YES;

BTS Local Switch

BTS local switch is triggered when the BTS detects that the calling MS and the
called MS of a call are under the same BTS, in the same BTS group or in the same
local switching area. It only applies to doulble-tranceiver BTS in TDM or IP
transmission mode. When a BTS uses TDM transmission mode, the BTS must be
enabled with Flex Abis. It saves transmission resources on the Abis and Ater
interfaces and reduce the TC processing delay during the call. When the BTS local
switch is triggered, the speech signal are looped back on the BTS side, in the BTS
group or in the local switching area.

High Speed Signaling

High speed signaling link is used by the BSC when the 64 kbit/s signaling links fail to
meet the signaling requirements on the A interface due to high traffic volume. High
speed signaling refers to a 2 Mbit/s signaling link configured with more timeslots
and the signaling transmission capacity is greatly enhanced. Its majorly used for
terrestrial transmission

Load Sharing

Load sharing enhances the reliability of data transmission. Data traffic is shared by
the ports to avoid the condition where some ports are busy whereas others are idle.
The BSC6900 supports load sharing between FE/GE ports that are located either on
the same board or on active and standby boards. Load sharing between FE/GE ports
is based on the user type. That is the data of a type of user is carried on one FE/GE
port, and that of another type of user is carried on another FE/GE port BUT the data
of one user is transmitted through only one FE/GE port. When the FE/GE ports of the
BSC6900 work in load sharing mode, the data towards the same IP address may be
transmitted through different ports, and thus different IP routes must be configured.
For example, load sharing between two FE/GE ports requires two IP routes. The IP
routes must have the same destination IP address, subnet mask, and priority, but
different next-hop IP addresses. The BSC6900 supports load sharing between a
maximum of three FE/GE ports.

ADD IPRT :; to add an IP route

AMR

The adaptive multi rate (AMR) is a speech encoding and decoding algorithm, which
can be adjusted between full-rate speech version 3 and half-rate speech version 3
specified by the protocol. With AMR, the BTS and the MS can evaluate the
interference on the radio network according to the measurements such as receive
level, receive quality, and carrier-to-interference (C/I) ratio, and then adjust the
voice encoding rate accordingly. In this way, both the anti-interference capability of
the radio communications system and the voice quality are improved.

Concentric Cell Function
The concentric cell function divides an ordinary cell technology into two service
layers namely overlaid (OL) subcell and underlaid (UL) subcell. The OL subcell is
configured with more channels and thus becomes the primary traffic bearer layer
and aims to absorb most subscribers in the concentric cell while the UL subcells
aims to solve coverage problem and provides services in the area not covered by
the OL subcell. In tight frequency reuse pattern, the concentric cell technology
helps avoiding or reducing interference and ensuring voice quality.

MSC Pool
An MSC pool consists of multiple MSCs handling the traffic generated from one MSC
pool area. A BSC6900 belonging to an MSC pool area is connected to each MSC in
the pool. All MSCs in the MSC pool share load and resources for equal distribution of
traffic in the MSC pool thus reducing inter-MSC handovers and providing
redundancy.
