Gb over IP Considerations
Gb over IP license must be installed and activated In dynamic IP configurations the SGSN side must be created first In static IP configurations it does not matter which end (BSC/SGSN) is created first Static configuration can use only logical IP addresses Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported in the Nokia implementation of Gb over IP DNS names can be used instead of IP addresses if a DNS server address is specified in the BSC

Static Gb IP configuration
Configuration parameters are configured to both ends statically and not transferred over Gb. Operator creates all NS-VCs with fixed remote IP endpoints: address, port number, signaling weight and data weight. BSC software can decide that static configuration is used, if PRE parameter is set to No (N) in creation of first NSVC in NSE. NS-VC configurations on both sides (BSS and SGSN) must match

Dynamic Gb IP Configuration
Configuration parameters are transferred over Gb in the initialization phase. Only one address and port pair of the remote end SGSN is needed to establish NS-VC configuration on Gb. These parameters are attributes of the preconfigured SGSN IP endpoint. BSC software can decide that dynamic configuration is used, if PRE parameter is set to Yes (Y) when creating the first NS-VC in NSE.

Dynamic Abis Allocation Introduction

Background
GSM/GPRS radio timeslot data can be fitted into one 16 kbit/s sub timeslot in Abis-if EDGE introduces data throughputs up to ca. 60 kbit/s over air up to 5*16 kbit/s sub timeslots needed over Abis/radio timeslot BTS internal traffic can not be fit into one D-bus (2 Mbit/s)

Abis capacity needs to be expanded (even up to 4 times higher)

Dynamic Abis Allocation

1*16 kbit/s "Master" as fixed/radio timeslot 1 4*16 kbit/s "Slaves" dynamically as per needed/radio timeslot

UltraSite has four D-buses

Fixed channels and EDAP For each GPRS radio timeslot on each EDGE TRX, one fixed 16-kbps channel is allocated on the Abis for the transfer for PCU master data frames. PCU slave data frames are allocated in a common pool, the EDAP (EDGE Dynamic Abis Pool). 12 PCM timeslots as the maximum size of EDAP. A master channel and its slave channels and therefore the entire EDAP must be on the same Abis PCM.

Functional Description
When CS3-CS4 option is on, and the Dynamic Abis pool and (E)GPRS territories are created then all GPRS coding schemes (CS1-CS4) are available for data transfer. The current GPRS Link Adaptation algorithm in the PCU/RLC is replaced with a new one, which covers also CS3 and CS4. A data block of CS2-CS4 is transferred in one PCU master Data Frame and one PCU Slave Data Frame through the Abis interface. CS1 data block fits in one PCU Master Data Frame.
