 Channel Concept

WCDMA is separted on 3 main channel: Logical, Transport and Physical Channel

FACH Channel and Paging channel which located on Transport channel is multiplexed
together on the same Physical Channel. This channel is called Secondary Common
Control Physical Channel(S-CCPCH)

 FACH Congestion

RAB AbnormalRelPS. RF.UuNo Reply increased when Data

Fach Congestion is increased.
From the performance, we can conclude the FACH
channel is not congested. But the FACH data are not
scheduled successfully
So we need instigated more, why FACH congestion is
occurred, otherwise FACH Band with usagerate is too low

 FACH Congestion
FACH Channel data schedule

The FACH channel data schedule

On the downlink, the MAC will schedule the Sccpch
data as follow:
Firstly, the PCH data will be scheduled on the
highest PRI;
Secondly, the FACH channel which is used to
transfer the signaling will be scheduled;
and last, the FACH channel which is used to
transfer the data will be scheduled.
So, if the FACH data are cant be scheduled, the
reason may be:
there are so many FACH data so that the FACH
channel is congesting;
There are so many FACH signaling and PCH data
so that the FACH data cant be scheduled timely.

Because of FACH and PCH is multiplexed together on

SCCPCH, so we need to add SCCPCH on Physical
Channel to separed FACH data and FACH Signaling
+PCH.

 Add SCCPCH

Problem: The main problem is FACH congestion which casue high PS drops, so the target is release FACH congestion aiming
to improve Ps drops by adding 2nd S-CCPCH
S-CCPCH: Carry FACH & PCH

Cause analysis: A cell is configured with one S-CCPCH by default.

The S-CCPCH carries one PCH, one FACH #0 that carries signaling, and one FACH #1 that carries service data.
If two SCCPCHs are used, the first SCCPCH always carries only PCH, and the second SCCPCH always carries FACH#0 and
FACH#1, so we doubled the FACH BW

Action: Add Second SCCPCH

 Add SCCPCH Basic Information(ADD USCCPCHBASIC)
PhyChId SCCPCH Meaning: Uniquely identifying an SCCPCH corresponding to a paging
. Based on the product specifications, it
is recommended that the CCPCHs in a
cell be identified as follows:
1)The ID of the PSCH is 0.
2)The ID of the SSCH is 1.
3)The ID of the PCPICH is 2.
4)The ID of the PCCPCH is 3.
5)The ID of the PRACH #1 is 4. The ID of
the corresponding AICH is 6.
6)The ID of the SCCPCH #1 is 8. The ID of
the corresponding PICH is 10.
7)The ID of the SCCPCH #2 is 9.

Parameter
ID indication channel in a cell.The ID of a common physical channel is
used to identify a common physical channel in a cell. Each common
physical channel is uniquely numbered within a cell. The IDs of
common physical channels should be planned before the channels are
configured for the cell.One cell can be configured with one to eight S-
CCPCHs. It is recommended that one S-CCPCH be configured.

SCCPCHOffset SCCPCH Meaning: Sequential offset between the SCCPCH and PCCPCH
Offset in the cell. For detailed information of this parameter, refer to
3GPP TS 25.433 and 3GPP TS 25.211.

GUI Value Range: 0~149

Unit: chip

Actual Value Range: 0~149

MML Default Value: 50

Recommended Value: 50

Parameter Relationship: None

Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on

the UE in idle mode)

Impact on Network Performance: As defined by the 25.211

protocol, the PICH timing is 7680 chips prior to its
corresponding SCCPCH frame timing. If the offset of the
SCCPCH timing from the PCCPCH timing is smaller than 30 (x
256 chips), the corresponding CFN decreases by 1. Then, the
difference between the PICH CFN and the corresponding
SCCPCH CFN is 2. However, in the 25.435 protocol, the PI
information and paging message are transmitted with two
consecutive CFNs. In the BSC6900, the PI information and
paging messages are also transmitted with two consecutive
CFNs irrespective of the chip offset. Therefore, the two
protocols conflict with each other in this aspect. To avoid the
compatibility problem, it is recommended that the SCCPCH
timing carrying the PCH transport channel be set to between 31
and 149.
