Order in the queue: - by default, HO candidates served first (QPC > QPH, QPC > QPN, smaller priority served first, parameters ZEQH) - between HO and Call candidates, mobiles are ordered by mobile priority, if no difference in priority, first come first served
In this example the TCHs are all seized,queue is full (2 calls. 2 Hos) and SDCCH is full. Accordingly all new call attempts get rejected on SDCCH because SDCCH is full. MS MS

At release of TCH: In the BSC, the length of the reservation (unit 0.48 sec) is added to 59000 tch_single_band_hold_time or 59001 tch_dual_band_hold_time
Also, one of the following counters is increased by one: 59002 tch_single_band_hold_reserv or 59003 tch_dual_band_hold_reserv
At the end of the measurement period, the values of the measurement counters are transmitted to the NMS/2000 NOTE: In the above example, the TCH reservation will not cause any call seconds to Measurement Period 1, and the reservation counter is also updated only at Measurement Period 2.

Paging capacity, air interface (until S7)

MBCCHC and MBCCB are combined control channels MBCCH is non-combined control channel
message sent on paging or access grant channel takes 4 slots 3 messages per multiframe (combined control channel) = 12 messages per second 9 messages per multiframe (noncombined control channel) = 38 messages per second

Each paging group has separate buffer of 8 Abis commands. MS defines its group from IMSI. Buffering delay can take 2..16sec Sent in CCCH_Load_Ind from BTS to BSC. 1/2 is is an additional safety margin to give an early warning of potential paging capacity problems. When 3018 is less than Paging_Buffer_Limit (it is defined in BSC; >EGO, default = 1, threshold = 0...16). then BSC sends an overload message to MSC. There is no automatic reallocation of the channel structure in case of overload. Nokia MSC does not use the overload message because paging is by LAs not by BTS. BSC stores the smallest value per BTS over the measurement period. If the value = 0 paging messages have been lost (paging may still be succesfull thanks to repaging)

Paging and access grant channels use the same DL physical channel (Nokia uses timeslot 0) of BCCH carrier. Access Grant has priority if AG=0. If AG<> 0, paging has priority on paging blocks. If AG<>0, Access Grant is sent also on PCH if there is no paging to send. If AG=0, Access Grant is sent on PCH with priority.

Calculation of the amount of Paging Groups

MS defines its group from IMSI Paging Group Queue Depth= MAX(ROUND(max_lead_time * 1000 / (BS-PA-MFRMS * 51 * 4.615)),1)Each paging group has a separate buffer. The depth of the buffer (Paging Group Queue Depth) depends on BS-PA-MFRMS parameter. Max_lead_time Example values of Paging Group Queue Depth = 5, not modifiable. The Queue Depth indicates how many radio interface BS-PA-MFRMS Paging Group Queue Depth Paging Requests it is possible to store in the buffer. 4 6 8 Counter N: N(New) = Counter N: N(New) = Counter N: N(Max) = N(new) > N(Max) ? 5 4 3 N(current) + 1 for TMSI paging commands N(current) + 2 + (N(current) mod 4) div 3 for IMSI paging command 4*(Paging Group Queue Depth) If N(new) > N(max), the paging command is deleted and N(current) remains the same as before Amount of deleted paging commands is reported to the BSC in CCCH_Load_ind, and BSC adds this amount to counter 3038 delete_paging_command. Each time a Paging Request is sent to the Radio Interface, N is decremented according to formula N(new) = max{N(current) - 4, 0} For each Paging Group, there is a Counter N to follow up the usage of the buffer.
TMSI paging command = Abis Paging Command with TMSI identity IMSI paging command = Abis Paging Command with IMSI identity

The current value is sent in the the CCCH_Load_Ind from BTS to BSC. BSC stores the smallest value. When PBS < 1, BSC sends an overload message to MSC. There is no automatic reallocation of the channel structure in case of overload. Nokia MSC does not use the overload message because paging is by LAs not by BTS.
For each paging group, and each paging multiframe, occupancy % = 100 *(N/N(max)) % AVERAGE(occupancy%) over all paging groups for each paging multiframe is reported from BTS to BSC in CCCH_Load_Ind Ave_paging_buffer (c3036) / res_acc_denom5 (c3037) Peak value of all Average Buffer Occupancy values in the CCCH_Load_Ind within the period is stored in BSC is a separate counter
Average Buffer Occupancy ( BSC) = Maximum Buffer Occupancy Percentage =
max_paging_buffer_capa (counter 3035)

Counter N and the formation of Radio Interface Paging Requests from Abis Paging Commands: in this example, one Paging Group Queue is described Paging Request Type 1 15 12 13 14 10 7 5 1 2 TMSI 6 3 4 11 8 9 2 1 2 1 3 empty N 1 2 3 1 5. msg 4. msg 3. msg 2. msg 1. msg 2 3 4 4 5 5 6 7 10 7 8 11 12 9 14 10 11 16 17 18 19 12 13 14 5. msg 15 6. msg 22

Nnew = Nold + 1 Nnew = Nold + 2 + (Nold mod 4) div 3

Buffer full when Nnew > Nmax
for TMSI paging command for IMSI paging command
IMSI
Formula for N for IMSI paging command works out as follows. Nnew = Nold +2 always but the case when the new IMSI paging command forces us to leave an "empty" spot to the Paging Request - this is the case if the paging request has earlier either 1 TMSI page and 1 IMSI page (2. Msg above), or 3 TMSI pages (5 msg above) - then Nnew = Nold+3. There is no passing lane in the paging buffers - Paging Commands are put to messages in the order in which they come to the BTS. So, in the above example, it is not possible to take mobile identity 8 from 3.msg, and put it before mobile identity 7 so that we could include it in 2.msg where there is an empty space for one TMSI mobile identity

Calculation and reporting of the maximum and average buffer occupancy percentages maximum

Paging Multiframe PMF
load-%
PMF_average
average
Paging group index
time One CCCH reporting period
BSC adds the values received during the measurement period (e.g. 60 min) c3036 ave_paging_buffer_capa and the number of CCCH_load_ind messages c3037 res_acc_denominator_5
At the end of each Paging Multiframe Cycle (Paging Multiframe Cycle = each Paging Group sent once), the load (or occupancy) is calculated as 100*(N/N(max)) %. From this, the ABO = PMF_average = AVERAGE(occupancy-%) is calculated
The ABOs are then collected over the CCCH reporting period, the average over the CCCH reporting period is calculated and the maximum selected
After each reporting period, CCCH Load Ind is sent to the BSC with the deleted page, maximum and average buffer occupancy information
CCCH reporting period is a HW data parameter at the BTS, the default period is 30*4*51*4.615ms = appr. 28 sec.

Quality UL and DL are sampled every 480ms. Every sample is ranked to a quality class:
Class corresponds to BER: Class ***** qua 0 qua 1 qua 2 qua 3 qua 4 qua 5 qua 6 qua 7 BER (GSM 05.08) ****************** (BER < 0.2%) (BER 0.2 - 0.4%) (BER 0.4 - 0.8%) (BER 0.8 - 1.6%) (BER 1.6 - 3.2%) (BER 3.2 - 6.4%) (BER 6.4 - 12.8%) (BER >12.8%)

Results are available per TRX in p_nbsc_rx_qual or p_nbsc_rx_statistics.
Impact of UL DTX: An investigation showed that UL DTX makes UL quality to show worse. The impact was about one 1% unit (1% of samples more in classes 6 and 7). When investigated with field tests no real degradiation of quality could be found.

FH effect on quality
Quality classes evolution with FH

The advantage comes in that the speech coder works much better under the single burst errors you get with hopping. With more freqs these get spaced enough that the coding can handle all the errors. However, more TRXs (or frequencies) in a hopping sequence usually means the reuse has got tighter and soon this will start to introduce more errors than you are saving.
This picture is a rough example of the trend and should not be shown to customers as an offical statement. Note that - classes 0-5 do not cause audible problems - BER is not good for measuring audio quality. FER would be better but is not available Experiments in hopping network have shown that even if quality 5-6 share (BER) increased FER did not, i.e. MS user perceived quality is not worse.
Hopping with 4 or + TRX/cell
Hopping with 2-3 TRX/cell Not hopping

Note: TRX numbers for BB FH only. In RF FH case the TRX numbers = MA list lenghts.
