2 Overview
The GBFD-115830 VAMOS feature is introduced in the GSM EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN) evolution and is developed on the basis of Multi-User Reusing One Slot (MUROS). This feature expands the GERAN network capacity without adding transceivers (TRXs) or frequencies. VAMOS applies to GSM networks for increasing voice service capacity. This feature multiplexes two calls onto one channel, especially one half-rate (HR) channel, to increase network capacity. Currently, Huawei's VAMOS allows two voice calls to be multiplexed only onto one HR channel. Figure 2-1 shows the uplink and downlink signal reception using VAMOS. On the uplink, the BTS receives signals from MS A and MS B and separately demodulates their signals. On the downlink, the BTS modulates the signals from MS A and MS B and then sends the modulated signals to the MSs simultaneously. Figure 2-1 Uplink and downlink signal reception using VAMOS
To properly implement VAMOS, Huawei also provides the following VAMOS-related features:
GBFD-115831
Mute SAIC MS Identification
VAMOS uses a new modulation mode. Therefore, this feature requires that MSs support SAIC. On the live network, certain MSs support SAIC but report non-SAIC in the information element (IE) CLASSMARK3. These MSs are called mute SAIC MSs. Therefore, the GBFD-115831 Mute SAIC MS Identification feature is introduced. This feature enables the BSC to detect mute SAIC MSs, helping improve the VAMOS multiplexing rate.
GBFD-115832
Call Drop Solution
Currently, the mainstream multi-mode MSs in the market can report their SAIC capabilities to the BSC, but their calls may drop from VAMOS channels. Such call drops are caused by MSs with Automatic Frequency Correction (AFC) defects that are incompatible with VAMOS. To solve this problem, the GBFD-115832 Call Drop Solution feature is introduced.

3 Technical Description
3.1 Overview
VAMOS enables two calls to be multiplexed onto the same HR channel. In this way, voice signals of these calls are transmitted simultaneously. This may cause interference, deteriorating voice quality of the multiplexed calls. In addition, the power for the signals of the two calls overlaps, leading to an increase in the signal power on the HR channel and causing interference to the entire network. Therefore, when channel resources are congested, VAMOS multiplexing is recommended to improve network capacity; when the network load decreases, VAMOS demultiplexing is recommended to improve voice quality. Assuming that two calls are multiplexed onto one HR channel:
On On
the uplink, the BTS receives voice signals of these two calls on the same HR channel simultaneously and needs to correctly demodulate these signals. the downlink, the BTS sends the voice signals to the two MSs on the same HR channel.
Therefore, VAMOS uses new modulation and demodulation algorithms: downlink Alpha-QPSK modulation and uplink SIC demodulation. For details, see chapter 3.3 Modulation and Demodulation. When the traffic in a cell is heavy, HR channels are preferentially allocated to calls. If the radio resources are insufficient because the proportion of HR services reaches a threshold, VAMOS channels can be allocated to calls in the following situations:
For For
an established call, the BSC selects another established call that matches the call and converts them to VAMOS calls. a new call, the BSC selects an established call that matches the call and allocates the VAMOS HR channel used by the established call to the new call.
When channel resources are not congested, VAMOS demultiplexing is enabled to convert VAMOS HR channels back to common HR channels, improving voice quality. For details about VAMOS multiplexing and demultiplexing, see section 3.4 Multiplexing and Demultiplexing. After VAMOS is enabled, power control is required to eliminate interference caused by VAMOS multiplexing. Interference is generated between VAMOS calls, deteriorating their voice quality. In addition, VAMOS calls cause interference to other calls. Therefore, the overall network quality deteriorates. To solve these problems, uplink SIC power control and downlink Alpha-QPSK power control are introduced. For details, see section 3.5 Power Control.
3.2 Key Terms

VAMOS
HR channel
One timeslot on a TRX can be configured as one full-rate (FR) channel or two HR channels. After VAMOS is enabled, if a timeslot is configured as two HR channels, each HR channel serves as two VAMOS HR channels. In this way, one timeslot can be configured as four VAMOS HR channels. The following table lists the channel configuration. FR Channel No. HR Channel No. VAMOS HR Channel No.
VAMOS
0 0 0 2 1 1 3
HR channel multiplexing
Two calls occupy the same VAMOS HR channel on an HR channel. VAMOS HR channel multiplexing can be implemented using channel allocation or intra-cell handover.
VAMOS
HR channel multiplexing handover
The BSC multiplexes two suitable calls onto one VAMOS HR channel of the same HR channel using intra-cell handover.
3.3 Modulation and Demodulation

3.3.1 Uplink SIC Demodulation
VAMOS uses SIC as the uplink demodulation algorithm. The BTS receives information from two MSs on the same HR channel, obtains the data to be decoded and the information in the measurement reports using high- and low-power user demodulation, and then decodes their respective data. As shown in Figure 3-1, SIC first uses the Interference Rejection Combining (IRC) algorithm to demodulate the signals of the high-power MS to obtain its data using channel decoding, and then subtracts the signals of the high-power MS from the total received signals, and finally performs IRC demodulation on the signals of the low-power MS to obtain its data using channel decoding. Figure 3-1 SIC demodulation
Uplink SIC demodulation requires that there be a power difference between the two multiplexed calls. Therefore, the power of these calls needs to be adjusted accordingly using VAMOS uplink power control.
3.3.2 Downlink Alpha-QPSK Modulation

VAMOS uses alpha-QPSK as the downlink modulation algorithm. Alpha-QPSK supports VAMOS multiplexing through handover and can adjust the modulation method of an ongoing call. In alpha-QPSK modulation, the power of the two multiplexed calls can be adjusted by changing the value of (0 21/2). Downlink alpha-QPSK demodulation requires that there be a power difference between two multiplexed calls. Therefore, their power needs to be adjusted accordingly using VAMOS downlink power control. Figure 3-2 shows the downlink alpha-QPSK modulation procedure.
Figure 3-2 Downlink alpha-QPSK modulation
3.4 Multiplexing and Demultiplexing

VAMOS multiplexing enables several suitable calls to be multiplexed onto a channel without adding TRXs or frequencies. This helps expand the network capacity and maximize the network resource usage. After VAMOS multiplexing is enabled, if the voice quality deteriorates or the cell load is lower than or equal to a specified threshold, VAMOS calls in the cell are demultiplexed using handover. In addition, calls on a specified HR channel can be forcibly handed over to a VAMOS HR channel and calls on a VAMOS HR channel can be forcibly handed over to an idle HR channel using MML commands.
3.4.1 Multiplexing
VAMOS multiplexing involves candidate VAMOS call decision and VAMOS multiplexing decision, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3 VAMOS multiplexing
Candidate VAMOS Call Decision

A candidate VAMOS call decision is triggered when the cell load is greater than VamosMultLoadThd. 1. For common cells
Decision
for selecting a new call as a candidate VAMOS call during channel allocation
If both VamosSwitch and VamosAssSwitch are set to ON(On), the decision for selecting a new call as a candidate VAMOS call during channel allocation can be performed. Before allocating an HR channel to a new call during channel allocation, the BSC checks whether the call meets the requirements for candidate VAMOS calls. If the call meets the requirements, the BSC selects the call as a candidate VAMOS call and allocates the call an HR channel used by an established call in the candidate call queue. A new call can be selected as a candidate VAMOS call when the following conditions are met:
Adaptive Downlink Uplink
Cell Border (ATCB) meets the requirement of a certain type of MS. receive level VamosIntraHoDlRxlevThd + VamosAssDlRxlevThdOffset receive quality VamosIntraHoDlQualThd VamosAssUlQualThdOffset
receive quality VamosIntraHoUlQualThd VamosAssUlQualThdOffset for selecting an established call as a candidate VAMOS call
Downlink Decision
If VamosSwitch is set to ON(On), the decision for selecting an established call as a candidate VAMOS call can be performed. After receiving measurement reports (MRs) of an established call on an HR channel, the BSC checks whether the call meets the requirements for candidate VAMOS calls. If the call meets the requirements, the BSC selects the call as a candidate VAMOS call and adds it to the corresponding candidate VAMOS call queue based on the MS's capability. An established call can be selected as a candidate VAMOS call when the following conditions are met:
ATCB
meets the requirement of a certain type of MS.

The process in the overlaid subcell is as follows: If both VamosSwitch and VamosAssSwitch are set to ON(On), the decision for selecting a new call as a candidate VAMOS call during channel allocation can be performed. Before allocating an idle HR channel to a new call during channel allocation, the BSC checks whether the call meets the requirements for candidate VAMOS calls. If the call meets the requirements, the BSC selects the call as a candidate VAMOS call and allocates the call an HR channel used by an established call in the candidate call queue. A new call can be selected as a candidate VAMOS call when the following conditions are met:

Decision on Triggering VAMOS Multiplexing

VAMOS multiplexing can be triggered either during channel allocation or intra-cell handover. Figure 3-4 shows the VAMOS multiplexing decision procedure. Figure 3-4 Decision on triggering VAMOS multiplexing
VAMOS
multiplexing during channel allocation
VAMOS multiplexing during channel allocation is triggered when a new call requests an HR channel. If VamosSwitch and VamosAssSwitch are set to ON(On), the BSC decides whether to trigger VAMOS multiplexing before allocating an idle HR channel to a call. The BSC checks the cell load. If the cell load is higher than VamosMultLoadThd, the BSC determines whether this call can be selected as a candidate VAMOS call.
If
the call is a candidate VAMOS call, the BSC traverses the queues of all candidate established VAMOS calls and selects a suitable call to be multiplexed with the new call onto the same HR channel. the call is not a candidate VAMOS call, the BSC allocates an idle HR channel to the call following the normal channel allocation procedure.
If
VAMOS multiplexing during intra-cell handover If VamosSwitch and VamosIntraHoSwitch are set to ON(On), the BSC checks the cell load after selecting an idle HR channel for a call.
When
the cell load is higher than VamosMultLoadThd, the BSC selects some suitable candidate VAMOS calls from the corresponding queues for multiplexing and then initiates intra-cell handovers. the cell load is lower than or equal to VamosMultLoadThd, the BSC stops VAMOS multiplexing.
When
3.4.2 Demultiplexing
If the voice quality of a multiplexed call deteriorates or the cell load is lower than VamosLoadReuseLoadThd after VAMOS multiplexing, VAMOS demultiplexing is triggered. The handover for VAMOS demultiplexing, which is a type of intra-cell handover, takes precedence over the handover from an HR channel to an FR channel.
VAMOS Demultiplexing Due to Poor Voice Quality

If VamosSwitch and VamosQualReuseSwitch are set to ON(On), the BSC monitors the voice quality of multiplexed calls in real time. Based on the uplink or downlink receive quality of a multiplexed call, the BSC determines whether to trigger VAMOS demultiplexing by using the P/N criterion. 1. For common cells The uplink or downlink receive quality requirements of a multiplexed call to be demultiplexed are as follows:
Uplink
receive quality VamosQualReuseUpLinkQualThd. receive quality VamosQualReuseDownLinkQualThd.
Downlink
If the uplink or downlink receive quality of a multiplexed call meets these requirements, VAMOS demultiplexing is deemed necessary. In this case, the BSC hands over the call with better voice quality to an idle HR channel. 2. For concentric cells The uplink or downlink receive quality requirements of a multiplexed call to be demultiplexed in the underlaid subcell are the same as those in a common cell. The uplink or downlink receive quality requirements of a multiplexed call to be demultiplexed in the overlaid subcell are as follows:
Uplink
receive quality VamosQualReuseUpLinkQualThd VAMOSDEPOLRXQUALOFT
Downlink
receive quality VamosQualReuseDownLinkQualThd VAMOSDEPOLRXQUALOFT
VAMOS Demultiplexing Due to Low Cell Load

If VamosSwitch and VamosLoadReuseSwitch are set to ON(On), the BSC monitors the cell load in real time. If the cell load is lower than or equal to VamosLoadReuseLoadThd, the call with a larger ATCB value in each pair of multiplexed calls is handed over to an idle HR channel.
A call with a larger ATCB value is closer to the cell center. The other call continues to occupy the HR channel. If the cell load is higher than VamosLoadReuseLoadThd, no handling is required.
Channel Allocation After the Handover for VAMOS Demultiplexing

After the handover for VAMOS demultiplexing is triggered, an HR channel is preferentially selected. The procedure for selecting a target channel is the same as that in a common intra-cell handover. If there is no idle HR channel, the handover for VAMOS demultiplexing is terminated.
3.5 Power Control

3.5.1 Uplink SIC Power Control Overview
When VAMOS is enabled in situations of loose frequency reuse and limited network capacity, the BSC enables uplink SIC power control on multiplexed calls after preprocessing the MRs for both calls to keep the power of these calls within an acceptable range. Uplink SIC power control is enabled when both VamosSwitch and SicPwrCtrlSwitch are set to ON(On).
Uplink SIC power control is performed only on VAMOS calls multiplexed onto HR channels.
Procedure of Uplink SIC Power Control

After starting the uplink power control procedure, the BSC checks whether the current call for power control is multiplexed with another call on an HR channel for VAMOS multiplexing. If so, the uplink SIC power control procedure is started; if not, the common uplink power control procedure is started. After the uplink SIC power control procedure has started, the BSC preprocesses the MRs for both calls and then decides whether to enable joint power control on the multiplexed calls. With joint power control, the receive levels of the two calls can be kept within an acceptable range. Before the BSC enables joint power control, the initial uplink power levels of the two calls remain unchanged. Figure 3-5 shows the uplink SIC power control procedure.
Figure 3-5 Uplink SIC power control procedure
In Figure 3-5, the uplink SIC power control decision, as well as the execution of power control, is triggered on the two multiplexed calls simultaneously.
1. MR preprocessing The MRs of two multiplexed calls are preprocessed separately. In uplink SIC power control, MR preprocessing procedures, such as interpolating and filtering, are the same as those in the optimized Huawei power control algorithm III.
2. Power control procedure selection After preprocessing the MRs of a call, the BSC checks whether the call is multiplexed with another call on an HR channel for VAMOS multiplexing. If the call is not multiplexed with another call on an HR channel, the BSC enables common power control on this call. If the call is multiplexed with another call on an HR channel, the BSC checks whether VamosSwitch andSicPwrCtrlSwitch are set to ON(On). If they are set to ON(On), the BSC enables joint uplink SIC power control on the two calls; if either is set to OFF(Off), the BSC terminates the uplink power control procedure. 3. MR synchronization The power control decision is triggered by an MR. Therefore, either of the MRs of the two multiplexed calls can trigger the power control decision because their MRs are preprocessed separately. The BSC makes the uplink SIC joint power control decision after preprocessing the MRs of both calls. 4. Uplink SIC power control decision The decision on whether to trigger uplink SIC power control consists of the calculation of power control steps, estimation of receive levels, and adjustment of power control steps.
Calculation
of power control steps
Power control steps are calculated on the basis of the power level required by each multiplexed call. The power level required by each multiplexed call is calculated on the basis of their respective levels and quality after periodical filtering.
Estimation
of receive levels
Receive levels in the subsequent measurement report period are estimated based on the level after compensation and filtering in the current measurement report period and the calculated power control step of each call.
Adjustment
of power control steps
When the difference between estimated levels of two multiplexed calls is higher than SicDiffHighThd, the power control step of each call is adjusted so that the difference is equal toSicDiffHighThd. 5. Execution of power control
3.5.2 Downlink Alpha-QPSK Power Control Overview

When VAMOS is enabled in situations of loose frequency reuse and limited network capacity, the BSC enables downlink alpha-QPSK power control on multiplexed calls. This guarantees the voice quality of multiplexed calls and reduces power consumption and interference. Downlink alpha-QPSK power control is enabled when VamosSwitch and AlphaQpskCtrlSwitch are set to ON(On).
Downlink alpha-QPSK power control is performed only on VAMOS calls multiplexed onto HR channels.
Procedure of Downlink Alpha-QPSK Power Control

After the downlink power control procedure has started, the BSC checks whether the current candidate call for power control is multiplexed with another call on an HR channel for VAMOS multiplexing. If they are multiplexed, the downlink alpha-QPSK power control procedure is started; if they are not multiplexed, the common downlink power control procedure is started.
After the downlink alpha-QPSK power control procedure is started, the BSC preprocesses the MRs for both calls and then decides whether to enable joint power control on the two calls. Before the BSC enables joint power control, the initial BTS power level and the alpha value remain unchanged. Figure 3-6 shows the downlink alpha-QPSK power control procedure. Figure 3-6 Downlink alpha-QPSK power control procedure
In Figure 3-6, the downlink alpha-QPSK power control decision, as well as the execution of power control, is triggered on the two multiplexed calls simultaneously.
1. MR preprocessing
The MRs of two multiplexed calls are preprocessed separately. In downlink alpha-QPSK power control, the optimized Huawei power control algorithm III must be enabled. Additionally, MR preprocessing procedures, such as interpolating and filtering, are similar to those in the optimized Huawei power control algorithm III, but require additional processing that is not described in this document. 2. Power control procedure selection After preprocessing the MRs of a call, the BSC checks whether the call is multiplexed with another call on an HR channel for VAMOS multiplexing. If the call is not multiplexed with another call on an HR channel, the BSC enables common power control on this call. If the call is multiplexed with another call on an HR channel, the BSC checks whether VamosSwitch andAlphaQpskCtrlSwitch are set to ON(On). If they are set to ON(On), the BSC initiates the downlink alpha-QPSK power control procedure; if either is set to OFF(Off), the BSC terminates the downlink power control procedure. 3. MR synchronization The power control decision is triggered by an MR. Therefore, either of the MRs of the two multiplexed calls can trigger the power control decision because their MRs are preprocessed separately. The BSC makes the downlink alpha-QPSK power control decision after preprocessing the MRs of both calls. 4. Downlink alpha-QPSK power control decision The decision on whether to trigger downlink alpha-QPSK power control consists of calculation of BTS power control step before adjusting the alpha value, adjustment of the alpha value, compensation for the BTS power control step before adjusting the alpha value, and determination of the final BTS power control step.
Calculation
of the BTS power control step before alpha value adjustment
The BTS power control step before adjusting the alpha value is calculated on the basis of the power required by each multiplexed call. The power required by each call is calculated on the basis of their respective levels and quality after periodical filtering.
Adjustment
of the alpha value
The alpha value is adjusted on the basis of the carrier-to-interface ratio (C/I) of each multiplexed call after filtering.
Compensation Determination
for the BTS power control step before alpha value adjustment of the final BTS power control step
5. Execution of power control
4 Mute SAIC MS Identification

Certain MSs support SAIC but report non-SAIC in the IE CLASSMARK3. These MSs are called mute SAIC MSs. If an MS is considered as SAIC incapable, the BSS does not multiplex the MS with another one. As a result, the number of MSs for VAMOS multiplexing decreases and network capacity decreases. To prevent the preceding situation, the Mute SAIC MS Identification feature is introduced. This feature is implemented as follows: 1. The BSC records the information about whether each model of MS is a mute SAIC MS. 2. Before allocating a channel to an MS, the BSC obtains the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of the MS and then checks whether this MS is a mute SAIC MS. 3. The BSC multiplexes the mute SAIC MS with another MS based on the priority of the mute SAIC MS. With this feature, the network can identify the MS capability correctly so that VAMOS multiplexing can be applied to all SAIC-capable MSs. This increases the number of MSs available for VAMOS multiplexing and therefore expands the network capacity. This feature can be enabled in a cell by setting MuteSaicIdeSwitch to ON(On) and the function for processing mute SAIC MSs can be enabled by setting MuteSaicSwitch to ON(On).
5 VAMOS Call Drop Solution

Currently, the mainstream MSs in the market support SAIC, however, call drops are likely to occur when the VAMOS feature is enabled. The call drops are caused by MSs with AFC defects that are incompatible with VAMOS. To solve this issue, the VAMOS Call Drop Solution feature is introduced. This feature is implemented as follows: 1. The SAIC MS capability database is created on the BSC. The database contains the types of SAIC MSs. SAIC MSs are classified into the following types:
White Black Gray
SAIC MS: refers to the MSs that support SAIC and can be properly used. SAIC MS: refers to the MSs that support SAIC but cannot be properly used.
SAIC MS: refers to problem SAIC MSs.
2. Before channel allocation, the BSC obtains the IMEIs of MSs and identifies the type of each MS based on the information recorded in the SAIC MS capability database during multiplexing. 3. White and gray SAIC MSs support VAMOS multiplexing. After VAMOS multiplexing is triggered, the BSC notifies the BTS of the power control policy for the calls performed by white or gray SAIC MSs. With the help of this solution, call drops no longer occur when the MS with an AFC defect is multiplexed with another MS on an HR channel. This increases network capacity and guarantees service continuity. Identification of problem SAIC MSs can be enabled in a cell by setting SaicProMsIdeSwitch to ON(On) and the function for processing problem SAIC MSs can be enabled by settingSaicProMsSwitch to ON(On).
6 Automatic SAIC Capability Sharing

The VAMOS feature provides an SAIC MS capability database, which contains the VAMOS capabilities of different types of SAIC MSs. After identifying the SAIC capability of an MS, such as a mute SAIC MS, black SAIC MS, or gray SAIC MS, the BSC saves the information only to its own SAIC MS capability database. To share the SAIC capability data of the BSC with other BSCs, you need to copy the identification results to these BSCs and run MML commands to make the identification results take effect in these BSCs. Therefore, the automatic SAIC capability sharing function is introduced, which automatically allows a BSC to share its SAIC capability data with another BSC. On the M2000, users can select several BSCs as source BSCs to provide VAMOS SAIC MS capability databases and select several BSCs as destination BSCs. As shown in Figure 6-1, for example, BSC 1 and BSC 2 serve as source BSCs; BSC 1, BSC 2, BSC 3, and BSC 4 serve as destination BSCs. Source BSCs upload data to the M2000, and the M2000 delivers the data to the destination BSCs to ensure data sharing. Figure 6-1 Automatic SAIC capability sharing
The automatic SAIC capability sharing function has the following advantages:
Effectively Minimizes Increases
improves inter-BSC data sharing capability. the impact of Mute SAIC MS Identification and VAMOS Call Drop Solution on KPIs. the commercial use probability of VAMOS by reducing manual invention.

8 Impact on the Network

8.1 VAMOS
8.1.1 Impact on System Capacity
VAMOS aims to expand the capacity of a GSM network without adding TRXs or frequencies. Without additional any configurations, VAMOS increases the traffic volume. In the scenario with loose frequency reuse and a high VAMOS MS penetration rate, VAMOS can significantly increase the network capacity.
8.1.2 Impact on Network Performance

Although
VAMOS expands the network capacity and reduces the network congestion rate, it affects the voice quality and deteriorates some other KPIs. The KPIs related to voice quality include the high quality indicator (HQI), call drop rate, handover success rate, and mean opinion score (MOS). Therefore, it is recommended that half-rate (HR) channels be preferentially enabled to increase network capacity and VAMOS be enabled only when network capacity needs to be further increased. VAMOS is not recommended for the operators that have high requirements for voice quality. increases resource usage. Therefore, after VAMOS is enabled, the transmission resource usage over the Abis and A interfaces, CPU and DSP usage of the hardware equipment, and memory usage increase.
VAMOS
8.2 Mute SAIC MS Identification

With the Mute SAIC MS Identification feature, the BSC can identify mute SAIC MSs. This helps increase the SAIC MS penetration rate, expand the VAMOS application range, and increases the system capacity.

This feature increases the call access delay and has a certain negative impact on the HQI and call drop rate. You are advised to disable this feature after information about mute SAIC MSs have been collected.
8.3 VAMOS Call Drop Solution

None

The VAMOS Call Drop Solution feature increases the call access delay and has a negative impact on the HQI and call drop rate. You are advised to disable this feature after information about mute SAIC MSs have been collected. After this feature is disabled, the HQI increases and the call drop rate decreases.
9 Engineering Guidelines
9.1 When to Use VAMOS
9.1.1 VAMOS
If the current HR channel usage is greater than or equal to 75%, VAMOS multiplexing and demultiplexing are enabled. Enabling VAMOS deteriorates the voice quality. Therefore, it is recommended that VAMOS not be used in areas with high voice quality requirements or for calls of high-priority users.
9.1.2 Mute SAIC MS Identification

It is recommended that the Mute SAIC MS Identification feature be used in the early phase when VAMOS is enabled. After information about mute SAIC MSs is collected, disable this feature because it has a negative impact on KPIs. Set the MuteSaicIdeSwitch parameter to ON(On) at a certain interval to collect information about new MSs in the market.
9.1.3 VAMOS Call Drop Solution

It is recommended that the VAMOS Call Drop Solution feature be used in the early phase when VAMOS is enabled. After MS information is collected, set the SaicProMsIdeSwitch parameter to OFF(Off) and keep the SaicProMsSwitch parameter set to ON(On). Set the SaicProMsIdeSwitch parameter to ON(On) at a certain interval to collect information about new MSs in the market.
9.2 Information to Be Collected

9.2.1 VAMOS
Before deploying VAMOS, collect the following information:
MS
penetration rate
VAMOS requires support from MSs at least supporting SAIC. The proportion of VAMOS MSs should be greater than 40%.
Proportion
of HR services
The proportion of HR services affects the gains using this feature because it supports only HR and AMR HR. The gains using this feature are large when it is used in the scenario where the busy-hour traffic is heavy and the proportion of HR services is greater than 80%.
VAMOS
area
According to the principle for VAMOS multiplexing call decision, VAMOS multiplexing can apply only to calls meeting the signal quality, receive level, and ATCB threshold. A VAMOS area refers to an area where the proportion of calls meeting the preceding requirements reaches a specified threshold in a cell. Based on the MS penetration rate, proportion of HR services, and VAMOS areas, the gains using VAMOS can be estimated. You can compare the required gains and expected gains to determine whether to optimize the network before enabling VAMOS. The comparison result provides reference for verifying the VAMOS effect.
Traffic
measurement counters and data configuration
Collect busy-hour traffic measurement counters and data configuration on the live network within at least one week before VAMOS is deployed.

9.3 Network Planning

9.3.1 VAMOS
TSC Planning
TSC planning method when VAMOS is not enabled Training sequence codes (TSCs) and base station color codes (BCCs) are bound together on a network. TSCs are planned randomly. TSC planning methods when VAMOS is enabled Two MSs multiplexed onto the same VAMOS HR channel must use different TSCs. Currently, no VAMOS I or VAMOS II MSs are in use. Therefore, only TSCs from 0 to 7 can be used. If VAMOS is enabled for all cells on a network, each cell requires two TSCs. From the perspective of the entire network, the TSC reuse rate decreases, which shortens the distance between cells using the same TSCs. When the timeslots of different cells are aligned, the cells may use the same frequencies and TSCs, which affects network performance. To avoid this, the TSCs must be replanned before VAMOS is enabled to maximize the distance between cells that use the same TSCs. After VAMOS is enabled, each cell requires two TSCs. In this case, the secondary TSC also needs to be planned to ensure that cells using the same TSCs are as far as possible from each other. TSCs are planned as follows:
There Each
are eight TSC groups. calls use primary TSCs, and suitable VAMOS calls use both primary and secondary
group consists of primary and secondary TSCs.
Common
TSCs.
Eight
TSC groups are as follows: 1: 0, 2 2: 1, 7 3: 5, 6 4: 4, 3 5: 2, 0 6: 7, 1 7: 6, 5 8: 3, 4
Group Group Group Group Group Group Group Group
The The
TSC reuse distance between the BTSs using the same frequencies must be as long as possible. priorities for TSC groups are planned based on the TSC correlation and impact on network performance.
Capacity Planning
Based on the HR function, VAMOS HR allows four calls to share one timeslot. This saves channel resources, improves network capacity, and reduces the network congestion rate.
For
an inventory network, enabling VAMOS does not affect the existing capacity planning. You only need to enable VAMOS-related functions in the areas with network congestion and adjust the VAMOS proportion by modifying related algorithm parameters to solve network congestion issues. a newly deployed network, VAMOS, equivalent to the HR function, helps capacity planning by estimating the VAMOS proportion and the traffic bearing capabilities of TRX boards.
For
The following example is used to describe capacity gains using VAMOS. Assume that MSs are evenly distributed and MSs with the C/I greater than 18 dB can use VAMOS HR. The procedure for estimating capacity gains is as follows: Step 1 Evaluate the proportion of MSs with the C/I greater than 18 dB. For example, the bandwidth of a network is 17.5 MHz, the average site configuration mode is S6/6/5, and the C/I distribution is simulated as shown in Figure 9-1. The estimated proportion of MSs with the C/I greater than 18 dB is 53%. Figure 9-1 Network C/I distribution
Step 2 Evaluate the SAIC MS penetration rate on the network. Based on raw traffic statistics, the ratio of ZTCA3352B to ZTCA3350G is the SAIC MS penetration rate, that is, 50%, as listed inTable 9-1.
Table 9-1 SAIC MS penetration rate ZTCA3350G: Number of Calls Originated or Terminated by MSs Supporting Early Classmark Sending per BSC Proportion of SAIC MSs 189804 ZTCA3352B: Number of Calls Originated or Terminated by MSs Supporting SAIC per BSC 95000 SAIC MS Penetration Rate 50.1%
Step 3 Evaluate the maximum VAMOS HR proportion. If MSs are evenly distributed, the maximum VAMOS HR proportion is the value of the proportion of MSs with the C/I greater than 18 dB multiplied by the SAIC MS penetration rate. In this example, the maximum VAMOS HR proportion is 26.5%, which is calculated by 53% multiplied by 50%. Step 4 Evaluate capacity gains. If the maximum VAMOS HR proportion is 26.5% and each two SAIC MSs are combined, the SAIC MSs require only half of the original channel resources, that is, 13.25% (26.5% divided by 2). In this case, the network resources saved during busy hours is 13.25%, which is calculated with the following formula: Network resources saved during busy hours = 53% x 50% x 50% ----End Capacity gains using VAMOS on other networks can be estimated according to the preceding procedure. When estimating capacity gains, pay attention to the following points:
The
limitation of the BTS hardware to the VAMOS capability must be considered for estimating the maximum VAMOS HR proportion. If the maximum VAMOS HR proportion calculated on the basis of the SAIC MS penetration rate exceeds the BTS hardware capability, the maximum VAMOS HR proportion depends on the BTS hardware capability. VAMOS HR proportion is determined by the uplink and downlink quality bands of MSs, distance between an MS and the BTS, and the network load. Modifying related parameters lead to a change in the VAMOS HR proportion. The preceding example provides a simple evaluation of the maximum VAMOS HR proportion based on the VAMOS conversion conditions for the downlink quality. live network situation may differ from the network simulation and MS distribution. The VAMOS HR proportion calculated in the preceding example is an elementary evaluation. maximum VAMOS HR proportion is a theoretical value because VAMOS HR conversion is triggered only when the network is congested or the cell load is high. HR may have a negative impact on the network performance. The larger the VAMOS HR proportion, the more the network performance deteriorates. In this case, the VAMOS HR proportion should be decreased to meet requirements of operators for the acceptable performance deterioration degree. The impact of the VAMOS HR proportion on the network quality, MOS, and KPIs needs to be verified on the live network. no VAMOS I or VAMOS II MSs are in use. Therefore, you only need to obtain the proportion of SAIC MSs on the live network.

Equipment Planning
1. Overview VAMOS improves single-timeslot voice service capacity without adding frequencies. Therefore, VAMOS has an impact on network transmission resources and BSS equipment resources.
VAMOS
has an impact on the BTS in the following aspects:
Transmission
resources
Abis transmission resources are E1/T1 cables, network cables, and optical fibers. VAMOS requires more Abis transmission resources when the configurations remain unchanged. For example, when E1 transmission is used, E1 cables need to be added over the Abis interface to meet the increased traffic volume. You can determine whether to add transmission resources by comparing the existing configured transmission resources with the expected configured transmission resources. If the existing transmission resources are sufficient and exceeds the transmission resources required by VAMOS, no additional transmission resource is required.
Interface
resources
When transmission resources are added, the Abis interface resources also need to be added. To be specific, you need to add interface boards to the BTS to provide more E1, T1, FE, or GE ports. Whether to add interface resources is determined by the amount of configured interface resources together with the amount of required interface resources. You do not need to add interface resources if the configured interface resources can fully meet the requirements after VAMOS is enabled.
VAMOS
has an impact on the BSC in the following aspects: resources
Transmission
Transmission resources over the Abis, Ater, and A interfaces are E1/T1 cables, network cables, and optical fibers. When the configurations remain unchanged, more Abis, Ater, and A interface transmission resources are required after VAMOS is enabled. Assume that the Abis, Ater, and A interfaces use E1 transmission. The existing E1 cables do not meet service requirements if the traffic volume increases after VAMOS is enabled. In this case, add E1 cables over the Abis, Ater, and A interfaces. Whether to add transmission resources is determined by the amount of configured transmission resources together with the amount of required transmission resources. You do not need to add transmission resources if the configured transmission resources can fully meet service requirements after VAMOS is enabled.

To be specific, you need to add interface boards to the BSC to provide more E1, T1, FE, or GE ports. Whether to add interface resources is determined by the amount of configured interface resources together with the amount of required interface resources. You do not need to add interface resources if the configured interface resources can fully meet the requirements after VAMOS is enabled.
Service
processing resources
After VAMOS is enabled, the number of speech path increases. This requires that the BSC improve its capability in processing speech frames. Therefore, the processing capability of DPUC boards in TC subracks needs to be improved. A DPUC board, however, can process only a certain number of speech paths. Therefore, the number of DPUC boards needs to be increased. Whether to add DPUC boards is determined by the number of configured DPUC boards together with the number of required DPUC boards. You do not need to add DPUC boards if the number of speech paths supported by the configured DPUC boards is more than that after VAMOS is enabled. 2. Scenario and configurations The following scenario is used as an example to describe the impact of VAMOS on transmission and equipment resources for better equipment planning.
Figure
9-2 shows the network scenario. In this scenario, a BSC6900 manages 100 DBS3900s, and the TC subrack may be located either on the BSC or MSC side.

3. Impact on the BTS This section provides the single-BTS specifications. Based on these specifications and the transmission type used over the Abis interface, you can determine whether to adjust transmission and equipment resources for a BTS. Table 9-4 lists the single-BTS specifications.
Table 9-4 Single-BTS specifications Item Number of 16 kbit/s TCHs Maximum traffic volume over the Um interface Number of busy-hour CS speech paths Number of busy-hour FR speech paths Number of busy-hour HR speech paths Number of LAPD links (including RSLs and OMLs) Number of required idle timeslots Signaling load Specifications 66 87 116 16 100 13 54 18%
The single-BTS specifications in Table 9-4 are calculated as follows: A BTS serves three cells, each of which has four TRXs. On each TRX, there is one BCCH and three SDCCHs (estimated based on the traffic volume). Therefore, the total number of 16 kbit/s TCHs is calculated with the following formula: Total number of 16 kbit/s TCHs = (4 x 8 1 3) x 3 = 84 If six PDCHs are configured for each cell, the total number of 16 kbit/s TCHs is calculated with the following formula: Total number of 16 kbit/s TCHs = 84 6 x 3 = 66 According to the ErlangB table, the maximum traffic volume in a cell is 87 Erlangs. Based on the traffic volume, you can calculate that the number of busy-hour CS speech paths is 116. Based on the proportions of HR and FR channels, you can obtain the numbers of FR and HR speech paths.
The impact of VAMOS on BTS transmission and equipment resources varies according to the following Abis-interface transmission types:
Flex
Abis on transmission resources
Impact
In Abis over TDM mode, one E1 cable provides the bandwidth of 32 multiplied by 64 kbit/s. When VAMOS is not enabled, only one E1 cable is required to ensure Abis transmission. When VAMOS is enabled, however, the traffic volume increases and the total number of required Abis timeslots (with the bandwidth of 64 kbit/s) changes from 29 to 36. Therefore, two E1 cables are required to provide sufficient Abis-interface transmission bandwidth.
Impact
on interface resources
A basically configured transmission interface board of the BTS supports four E1 cables. This meets the bandwidth requirements in this scenario. Therefore, interface resources do not need to be added. Table 9-5 Specifications before and after VAMOS is enabled in Flex Abis mode Item LAPD link multiplexing rate Number of required CS timeslots (16 kbit/s) Specifications Before VAMOS Is Enabled 6 66 Specifications After VAMOS Is Enabled 4 91
Item Number of required PS timeslots (16 kbit/s) Number of required signaling timeslots (64 kbit/s) Number of required Abis timeslots (64 kbit/s)
Specifications Before VAMOS Is Enabled 36 3 29
Specifications After VAMOS Is Enabled 36 4 36
The increase in the traffic volume leads to an increase in the required total bandwidth of RSLs. The average required bandwidth of RSLs also increases. Therefore, the LAPD link multiplexing rate reduces to 4. As listed in Table 9-3, the proportion of HR services is 75%. Assuming that 50% HR channels are configured as VAMOS HR channels, the number of required CS timeslots is calculated with the following formula: Number of required CS timeslots = 66 x (1 + 75% x 50%) 91 Therefore, Total number of required Abis timeslots (64 kbit/s) = Number of required CS timeslots (16 kbit/s) + Number of required PS timeslots (16 kbit/s)/4 + Number of required signaling timeslots = (91 +36)/4 + 4 36
IP
over E1/T1 on transmission resources
Impact
An E1 cable provides the bandwidth of 32 timeslots multiplied by 64 kbit/s. When VAMOS is not enabled, only one E1 cable is required to ensure Abis transmission. When VAMOS is enabled, however, the traffic volume increases and the total number of required Abis timeslots (with the bandwidth of 64 kbit/s) changes from 20 to 25, as listed in Table 9-6. In this case, one E1 cable still meets the Abis bandwidth requirements.
Impact
A basically configured transmission interface board of the BTS supports four E1 cables. This meets the bandwidth requirements in IP over E1/T1 mode. Therefore, interface resources do not need to be added. Table 9-6 Specifications before and after VAMOS is enabled in IP over E1/T1 mode Item Specifications Before VAMOS Is Enabled 1152.05 425.39 309.56 2165.37 34 Specifications with IP MUX Enabled Before VAMOS Is Enabled 520.95 303.13 309.56 1279.05 20 Specifications After VAMOS Is Enabled 740.41 303.13 309.56 1537.25 25

In
Abis IP over E1/T1 mode, the IP MUX function needs to be enabled to save the overhead on headers increased with IP transmission, as listed in Table 9-6. Therefore, the total number of required Abis timeslots (64 kbit/s) decreases from 34 to 20. number of required Abis timeslots (64 kbit/s) = Required total Abis bandwidth (kbit/s)/64 = 1537.25/64 = 25
Total
The
required total Abis bandwidth is calculated based on the rates of coding schemes and the number of channels.
IP
over FE/GE on transmission resources
Impact
The Abis interface uses Ethernet cables or optical fibers with the bandwidth of more than 100 Mbit/s. Therefore, the Abis transmission bandwidth is ensured and transmission resources do not need to be added.
Impact
A basically configured interface board of the BTS has one FE port and one GE port. This meets the bandwidth requirements in IP over FE/GE mode. Therefore, interface resources do not need to be added. Table 9-7 Specifications before and after VAMOS is enabled in IP over FE/GE mode Item Specifications Before VAMOS Is Enabled 1783.36 534.38 422.64 3149.39 50 Specifications with IP MUX Enabled Before VAMOS Is Enabled 538.33 315.23 422.64 1426.84 23 Specifications After VAMOS Is Enabled 740.41 315.23 422.64 1708.09 27

Abis IP over FE/GE mode, the IP MUX function needs to be enabled to save the overhead on headers increased with IP transmission, as listed in Table 9-7. Therefore, the total number of required Abis timeslots (64 kbit/s) decreases from 50 to 23. number of required Abis timeslots (64 kbit/s) = Required total Abis bandwidth (kbit/s)/64 = 1708.09/64 = 27
Total
The
required total Abis bandwidth is calculated based on the rates of coding schemes and the number of channels.
4. Impact on the BSC

Impact Abis
on transmission resources interface
In Abis over TDM mode, another one E1 cable must be added to each BTS to ensure Abis transmission. Therefore, the number of E1 cable for the BSC needs to be increased from 100 to 200 because each BTS needs two E1 cables in Flex Abis mode, as listed in Table 98 and Table 9-9.
In other transmission modes, no transmission resource is added to each BTS. Therefore, there is no impact on Abis transmission resources for the BSC.
Ater
and A interfaces
To ensure the A- and Ater-interface bandwidth, the number of E1 cables needs to be added according to the actual situation. In A IP over FE/GE mode, two 100 Mbit/s Ethernet cables are required when VAMOS is enabled, as listed in Table 9-8 and Table 9-9.
Impact
An Abis interface board of the BSC supports the transmission bandwidth provided by 640 E1/T1 cables, 240 FE ports, and 80 GE ports. This meets the bandwidth requirements. Therefore, interface resources do not need to be added. An A interface board of the BSC supports the transmission bandwidth provided by 640 E1/T1 cables, 240 FE ports, and 80 GE ports. This meets the bandwidth requirements. Therefore, interface resources do not need to be added. An Ater interface board of the BSC supports the transmission bandwidth provided by 256 E1/T1 cables. This meets the bandwidth requirements. Therefore, interface resources do not need to be added.
Service
processing resources
When VAMOS is enabled, the number of speech paths supported by the BSC increases, leading to an increase in requiring TC resources. In this scenario, six DPUC boards need to be added without adding a subrack, as listed in Table 9-10.

When VAMOS is enabled, the increase in the network capacity leads to an increase in the traffic volume. Therefore, more A- and Ater-interface transmission resources are required. After VAMOS is enabled, if half of HR services use VAMOS when the proportion of HR services reaches 75%, the traffic volume for a BSC increases to 11200 Erlangs, which is calculated by 112 multiplied by 100.
Table 9-10 Number of speech paths before and after VAMOS is enabled Item Number of busy-hour CS speech paths Number of busy-hour FR speech paths Number of busy-hour HR speech paths Number of busy-hour VAMOS speech paths Specifications Before VAMOS Is Enabled 115 16 99 None Specifications After VAMOS Is Enabled 165 16 49 50 x 2 = 100
In A over TDM mode, each DPUC board supports a maximum of 960 speech paths. When VAMOS is not enabled, the number of speech paths is calculated with the following format:
Number Number
of speech paths supported by a BTS = 16 (FR) + 99 (HR) = 115 of speech paths supported by a BSC managing 100 same BTSs = 115 x 100 = 11500.
Therefore, a total of 12 DPUC boards are required, which is calculated by 11500 divided by 960. When VAMOS is enabled, the number of speech paths is calculated with the following format:
Number Number
of speech paths supported by a BTS = 16 (FR) + 49 (HR) + 100 (VAMOS HR) =165 of speech paths supported by a BSC managing 100 same BTSs = 165 x 100 = 16500
Therefore, a total of 18 DPUC boards are required, which is calculated by 16500 divided by 960. Currently, a BSC is configured with a maximum of four TC subracks and each of the TC subrack has 10 DPUC boards (9+1 redundancy). Therefore, the 18 DPUC boards can be installed in two existing TC subracks.
5. Conclusion According to the preceding analysis, VAMOS multiplexes calls onto channels instead of compressing source signals to increase Um-interface capacity and spectrum efficiency. With an increase in voice capacity, VAMOS has the following impacts on the base station subsystem (BSS):
Transmission
resources over the Abis, Ater, and A interfaces may need to be adjusted. In nonIP transmission mode, transmission resources over the Ater and A must be added.
Interface DPUC
resources do not need to be added.
boards need to be added to provide sufficient speech paths for processing the increased traffic volume.
Planning of Power Control Parameters

To minimize interference between multiplexed calls after VAMOS is enabled, you must set PWRCTRLOPTIMIZEDEN to YES(Yes). If PWRCTRLOPTIMIZEDEN has been set to YES(Yes) on the live network and the HQI is normal, power control does not need to be optimized. If Huawei II power control is used on the live network, a license is required to support Huawei III power control. After Huawei II power control is upgraded to Huawei III power control, you need to replan power control parameters. If Huawei III power control is used on the live network, you also need to replan power control parameters. 1. Adjustment of BSC-level power control parameters Table 9-11 lists the planning of basic power control parameters when Huawei III power control is used.

9.7 Performance Optimization

9.7.1 VAMOS
Monitoring
Traffic
volume and VAMOS capacity gain
After VAMOS is enabled, the values of the following traffic-related counters increase in theory:
CELL.KPI.TCH.TRAF.ERL.TRAF CELL.KPI.TCHH.TRAF.ERL CELL.CHAN.BUSY.NUM.VAMOS.TCHH.TRAF.AVE CELL.KPI.SD.TRAF.ERL
The increase in the values of these counters reflects the increase in the network capacity. The following formulas are provided for your reference to calculate the VAMOS capacity gain:
Based
on the hardware capacity gain on the equivalent capacity gain
Hardware Capacity Gain = VAMOS traffic/Total Traffic x 100%

Based
Equivalent Traffic Gain = 0.5 x VAMOS traffic/(Total Traffic 0.5 x VAMOS) x 100%
VAMOS Total
Traffic = 2 x CELL.CHAN.BUSY.NUM.VAMOS.TCHH.TRAF.AVE
Traffic = CELL.KPI.TCH.TRAF.ERL.TRAF
Call
drop rate and VAMOS call drop rate
As mentioned in chapter 8 "Impact on Network Performance", VAMOS may increase the call drop rate. After VAMOS is enabled, check the following counters related to the call drop rate:
CELL.RATE.TCH.CALL.DROP.INCLUDE.HO CELL.SD.CALL.DROP CELL.TCH.RD.DROP
If the values of these counters increase, check the VAMOS call drop rate to determine whether the increase in the call drop rate is caused by VAMOS. The VAMOS call drop rate is calculated with the following formula: VAMOS call drop rate = (CELL.VAMOS.CALL.DROP.TIMES.HO.UNDO + CELL.VAMOS.CALL.DROP.TIMES.HO.OTHER + CELL.VAMOS.CALL.DROP.TIMES)/((CELL.VAMOS.INTRACELL.HO.TRY + CELL.VAMOS.INTRACELL.HO.FAIL) x 2)
HQI
Check the HQI before and after VAMOS is enabled. If the HQI increases after VAMOS is enabled, the network quality deteriorates. Then, check the VAMOS-related HQI to determine whether the increase in the HQI is caused by VAMOS. The HQI is user-defined. The following formula takes the HR downlink HQI as an example.
HR
downlink HQI = (TRX.HR.DOWN.RX.QLTY.0.NEW + TRX.HR.DOWN.RX.QLTY.1.NEW + TRX.HR.DOWN.RX.QLTY.2.NEW + TRX.HR.DOWN.RX.QLTY.3.NEW + TRX.HR.DOWN.RX.QLTY.4.NEW + TRX.HR.DOWN.RX.QLTY.5.NEW)/(TRX.HR.DOWN.RX.QLTY.0.NEW + TRX.HR.DOWN.RX.QLTY.1.NEW + TRX.HR.DOWN.RX.QLTY.2.NEW + TRX.HR.DOWN.RX.QLTY.3.NEW + TRX.HR.DOWN.RX.QLTY.4.NEW + TRX.HR.DOWN.RX.QLTY.5.NEW + TRX.HR.DOWN.RX.QLTY.6.NEW + TRX.HR.DOWN.RX.QLTY.7.NEW)
Before VAMOS is enabled, the HQI is calculated based on raw counters. After VAMOS is enabled, the VAMOSrelated HQI is calculated based on the quality indication contained in the measurement reports transmitted on VAMOS channels. The formulas for calculating the HQI before and after VAMOS is enabled are the same.
MOS
Use a MOS measurement tool to measure the voice quality before and after VAMOS is enabled. If the MOS decreases, the network quality deteriorates.
Parameter Optimization
After
VAMOS is enabled, if the capacity gain falls short of expectations, adjust parameter settings as follows to increase the VAMOS multiplexing times and duration:
Decreases
the values for VamosMultLoadThd and VamosLoadReuseLoadThd or increases the values for VamosQualReuseDownLinkQualThd andVamosQualReuseUpLinkQualThd. the value for VamosIntraHoSaicAtcbThd or increases the values for VamosIntraHoUlQualThd and VamosIntraHoDlQualThd to increase candidate VAMOS calls. UnkownSaicMultSwitch to ON(On) to increase candidate VAMOS calls.
Decreases
Sets After
VAMOS is enabled, if the call drop rate, HQI, and MOS deteriorate, adjust parameters as follows to improve these KPIs:
Decreases
the values for VamosQualReuseDownLinkQualThd and VamosQualReuseUpLinkQualThd to reduce the probability of an increase in the call drop rate caused by poor VAMOS call quality, improving the HQI and MOS. the values for VamosIntraHoUlQualThd and VamosIntraHoDlQualThd or VamosIntraHoSaicAtcbThd to improve the conditions for candidate VAMOS calls, improving the HQI. UnkownSaicMultSwitch to OFF(Off) to prevent the increase in the call drop rate due to MS problems, reducing the call drop rate. MSs on which call drops occur. If a type of MS frequently experiences call drops, add the TAC of this type of MS to the blacklist in the SAIC MS capability database and forbid the use of VAMOS for this type of MS. This reduces the call drop rate and improves the HQI.
Decreases

Records
9.7.2 Mute SAIC MS Identification and VAMOS Call Drop Solution

Monitoring
After Mute SAIC MS Identification and VAMOS Call Drop Solution are enabled, check the call drop rate, VAMOS call drop rate, and HQI. For details, see section 9.7.1 VAMOS.
Parameter Optimization
After Mute SAIC MS Identification and VAMOS Call Drop Solution are enabled, if the call drop rate and HQI deteriorate, adjust parameters as follows to improve these KPIs:
Decreases Decreases Decreases
the value for SpeMsIdeMaxCalls to reduce the number of identifications.
the value for SpeMsIdeLoad so that MS identification is performed when there is a low load and slight interference. the values for SpeMsIdeUlRxQualThd and SpeMsIdeDlRxQualThd to raise the criteria for an MS to be identified.
