2 Overview

2.1 Introduction

Overview

The frequency resources are limited on the GSM network. Therefore, to improve the traffic bearing capability of the network in the case of frequency resource insufficiency is the main concern of operators. If a tight frequency reuse pattern is employed in areas with insufficient frequency resources, especially in cells with 1x1 frequency reuse pattern, co-channel interference or adjacent-channel interference is likely to occur. As a result, the network quality deteriorates. To solve this problem, the Flex MAIO feature is introduced. Flex MAIO is a feature through which the BSC dynamically adjusts the mobile allocation index offset (MAIO) according to the current interference level of a channel when assigning an MAIO to the channel (note that the BSC assigns an MAIO to only a channel under activation). In this way, the BSC assigns the MAIO with the minimum interference to the channel, and the channel experiences the minimum interference in the BTS. The working mechanisms of the Flex MAIO feature are described as follows: l The BSC estimates the interference between frequency hopping (FH) channels based on the MAIOs of FH channels and updates the record of the interference of the current channel to other channels after assigning or releasing the channel. During channel assignment, the BSC selects a timeslot, assigns the MAIO with the minimum interference to the timeslot, and then preferentially assigns the channel with the minimum interference. To prevent continuous adjacent-channel interference, the BSC dynamically changes the hopping sequence number (HSN) of the current channel to randomly distribute the interference of the channel to other channels.

The Flex MAIO feature helps in utilizing the frequency resources appropriately in the case of frequency resource insufficiency and minimizes co-channel interference and adjacent-channel interference. In this way, the frequency resources are tightly reused in the BTS, and the traffic bearing capability of the network is increased.

Allocation of Frequencies to Channels

Technical Description

3.1 Interference on the FH Network

When FH is enabled on the network, the carrier frequency changes according to the predefined hopping sequence. When FH is enabled, the mobile allocation index (MAI) of a frequency used by a channel is determined by frame number (FN), MAIO, and hopping sequence number (HSN). The formulas for calculating the MAI are as follows: Assume that there are N frequencies in the mobile allocation (MA). l l When HSN is equal to 0, that is, when cyclic FH is enabled on the network, MAI = (FN + MAIO) mod N. When HSN is not equal to 0, MAI = (S + MAIO) mod N.
NOTE

S indicates a pseudorandom number that is generated by the HSN together with the FN.

Co-Channel Interference and Adjacent-Channel Interference

The following conclusions can be drawn from the preceding formulas: l When two channels on the same timeslot have the same HSN and MA and there are some adjacent frequencies in the MA, the following cases may occur: Adjacent-channel interference occurs only when two channels on the same timeslot use the adjacent MAIOs. Co-channel interference occurs only when two channels on the same timeslot use the same MAIO. l If two channels use different MAs, the number of frequencies in the MAs and the HSN are the same, and there are adjacent frequencies or the same frequencies between MAs, the following cases may occur: If two channels use adjacent frequencies, and the MAIO difference is the same as the difference between the sequence numbers of the two adjacent frequencies in the MA tables, adjacent-channel interference is produced.

GSM BSS Flex MAIO Feature Parameter Description

3 Technical Description

For example, MA 1 = {1, 6, 9, 11} and MA 2 = {2, 4, 6, 8}. The difference between the sequence numbers of the adjacent frequencies in the MA tables are 0 and 1 in the direction of MA 1 to MA 2. If a channel hops over frequencies in MA 1 and its MAIO is 1, then this channel causes adjacent-channel interference to the channels that hop over frequencies in MA 2 and whose MAIO is 1 or 2. The difference between the sequence numbers of the adjacent frequencies in the MA tables are 0 and 3 in the direction of MA 2 to MA 1. If a channel hops over frequencies in MA 2 and its MAIO is 1, then this channel causes adjacent-channel interference to the channels that hop over frequencies in MA 1 and whose MAIO is 0 or 1. If two channels use the same frequency, and the MAIO difference is the same as the difference between the sequence numbers of the same frequency in the MA tables, cochannel interference is produced. For example, MA 1 = {1, 6, 9, 11} and MA 2 = {2, 4, 6, 8}. The difference between the sequence numbers of the same frequency in the MA tables is 1 in the direction of MA 1 to MA 2. If a channel hops over frequencies in MA 1 and its MAIO is 1, then this channel causes co-channel interference to the channels that hop over frequencies in MA 2 and whose MAIO is 2. The difference between the sequence numbers of the same frequency in the MA tables is 3 in the direction of MA 2 to MA 1. If a channel hops over frequencies in MA 2 and its MAIO is 1, then this channel causes co-channel interference to the channels that hop over frequencies in MA 1 and whose MAIO is 0.

3.2 Working Principles

Timeslot Interference Priority
Flex MAIO is a feature through which the BSC assigns an MAIO to a channel on a timeslot based on the interference between channels on the same timeslot. Flex MAIO adds a timeslot interference priority field to the channel assignment priority. The timeslot interference priority field records the level of the interference between the channels on the same timeslot. The interference level is recorded whenever a channel on the timeslot is assigned or released. The timeslot interference priority, however, is not of the highest weight in channel assignment. The timeslot interference priority is higher than the priorities of history occupations, TRXs, and interference but lower than the priorities of TCH rate and Flex Abis. The timeslot interference priority consists of the priorities of co-channel interference in the BTS, of adjacent-channel interference in cells, and of adjacent-channel interference between cells. l The priority of co-channel interference, regardless of the priority of co-channel interference in cells or of co-channel interference between cells, is of the highest weight. Therefore, if an MAIO is already assigned, this MAIO cannot be assigned to channels on the same timeslot in the BTS. In this way, co-channel interference is prevented in the BTS. When a channel is occupied, it may cause co-channel interference or adjacent-channel interference to other channels on the same timeslot in the BTS. In addition, the adjacentchannel interference in cells is stronger than the co-channel interference between cells. The timeslot interference priority field records the interference of all active channels on the timeslots of the BTS to a channel on a timeslot of a cell. Here, active channels refer to not only occupied TCHs but also dynamic or static PDCHs.

The weight of interference priority of a timeslot is updated whenever a channel on the timeslot is assigned or released. The details are described as follows:

GSM BSS Flex MAIO Feature Parameter Description

3 Technical Description

The interference in cells is stronger than the interference between cells. Therefore, the value added to the weight of adjacent-channel interference in cells is greater than that added to the weight of co-channel interference between cells. The adjacent-channel interference of the TCHF is eight times that of the SDCCH/8, and two times that of the TCHH. To differentiate between the interference levels caused by different channels, different values are added to the interference priority weights of different channels. When a TCHF causes adjacent-channel interference to other channels, the adjacentchannel interference weight of each of the other channels is increased by eight. When a TCHH causes adjacent-channel interference to other channels, the adjacentchannel interference weight of each of the other channels is increased by four. When an SDCCH/8 causes adjacent-channel interference to other channels, the adjacent-channel interference weight of each of the other channels is increased by one.

Dynamic Assignment of the MAIO and HSN

When FLEXMAIO(GSM BSC6910,GSM BSC6900) is set to ON(On), the BSC preferentially allocates a channel without interference to an MS based on the timeslot interference information recorded by each idle channel. If a channel with interference is allocated, the BSC selects an MAIO with the minimal interference from idle MAIOs on the same timeslot and allocates the MAIO to the channel. When HSNSW(GSM BSC6910,GSM BSC6900) is set to ON(On), the BSC allocates an available HSN on the same timeslot in other cells served by the BTS to the channel if all the following conditions are met: l l l All channels on the same timeslot in a cell are idle. There are active channels on the same timeslot of the TRX in other cells served by the BTS. The used HSN is the same as that configured for the channels on the same timeslot in the cell where the channel to be allocated is located.

5 Engineering Guidelines

l l
NOTE

Engineering Guidelines

The limitations of Flex MAIO are as follows: Activating Flex MAIO does not bring increased gain when baseband FH is used. Therefore, it is recommended not using baseband FH and Flex MAIO together. CS services support dynamic MAIO. PS services provided by an external packet control unit (PCU) do not support dynamic MAIO.
The BSC6910 does not support an external PCU.

The performance of the Flex MAIO feature can be enhanced if the FH data configuration meets the following conditions: l The FH data configuration must meet one of the following conditions: When the 1x1 frequency reuse pattern is employed and the BCCH frequency does not join in FH, all the FH channels in the BTS use the same MA and HSN. When the 1x1 frequency reuse pattern is employed and the BCCH frequency joins in FH, all the channels on timeslot 0 in the BTS share the same MA and HSN, for example, MA 0 and HSN 0, and the channels on other timeslots share the same MA and HSN, for example, MA 1 and HSN 1. When the 1x3 frequency reuse pattern is employed and the BCCH frequency does not join in FH, the cells in the BTS use different FH data, but the FH channels in a cell use the same FH data. In addition, The MAs have the same number of frequencies configured. The HSNs are the same. One MA does not contain adjacent frequencies, but the frequencies in two MAs can be adjacent. When the 1x3 frequency reuse pattern is employed and the BCCH frequency joins in FH, the cells in the BTS use different FH data, but the HSN and the number of frequencies in the MA assigned to channels on the same timeslot are the same. In addition, one MA does not contain adjacent frequencies. The MAs assigned to channels on timeslot 0 are different from the MAs assigned to channels on other timeslots in a cell. The channels on other timeslots use the same FH data. l Interference does not exist between one FH channel and one non-FH channel or between two non-FH channels.
