Logical Channels

Broadcast Channels (BCH)
April 25, 2007
Frequency Correction Channel (FCCH)
•Downlink Channel
•BTS: Transmits a carrier frequency (Pure sine wave of 67.7 Khz)
This Solve 2 purpose :
a> Make sure that this is BCCH Carrier
b> To allow the MS to synchronize to the frequency
•MS: After Switch on MS Scan for this channel, since it has no information
to which frequency to use. FCCH carrier enables a mobile to tune its
frequency to that being broadcast by the BTS.

April 25, 2007
Syncronization Channel (SCH)
•Downlink Channels
•BTS: Transmits TDMA Frame number + Base Station
Identity Code (BSIC= NCC + BCC )
•MS: MS decodes the BSIC if the chosen BTS is GSM
Base station within a cell

•Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH)
•BCCH contains the detailed Network and cell specific information
such as :
•Frequency used by Cell and its Neighboring cells.
•Frequency HSN
•Paging Groups
•LAI
•Max output power allowed in the cell

Common Control Channels (CCCH)
Paging Channel (PCH)
• BTS: Broadcast the paging message to indicate the Incoming
Calls or Incoming SMS. Paging message also includes
the MS’s identity number IMSI/TMSI
• MS: MS listens to the PCH. If it identifies its own mobile
subscriber identity number on the PCH, it will respond.

Random Access Channel (RACH)
•RACH is transmitted Uplink only
•When mobile is paged , it replies on RACH requesting a
signaling channel.
•RACH can also used if the MS wants to make a contact the NW/
Originating calls

Kamal Hasija
Access Grant Channel (AGCH)
•Downlink channel
•AGCH is answer to the RACH
•NW assigns a signaling channel (SDCCH) to the MS. This
assignment is performed on the AGCH

Dedicated Control Channels (DCCH)
Stand Alone Dedicated Control Channel (SDCCH)
•SDCCH is bi-directional Channel
•System Signaling
•Call Setup
•Authentication
•Location Update
•Assignment of Traffic channels and
•Transmission of Short messages
Kamal Hasija

April 25, 2007
Slow Associated Control Channel (SACCH)
•SACCH is transmitted in both Uplink and Downlink directions
•SACCH is associated with each SDCCH and also with TCH
•Uplink : MS Sends the averaged measurement on its own BTS and
neighboring BTS’s
•Downlink: MS receives information regarding information
concerning
•Transmit power to use
•Instructions on Timing Advance

April 25, 2007
Fast Associated Control Channel (FACCH)
•While Calls in progress and HO is required FACCH is used
•FACCH works in Stealing mode meaning that one 20ms
segment of speech is exchanged for signaling information
necessary for the HO
Cell Broadcast Channel (CBCH)
•CBCH is used in Downlink only
•It is used to carry Short Message Service Cell Broadcast
(SMSCB) and uses the same physical channel as the SDCCH

Traffic Channels (TCH)
Traffic channels are Bi-directional logical channel that transfer the user
speech or data.
•Full Rate TCH ( TCH/F) :
•This channel carries information at a gross rate at 13Kbit/s *
* Now it is 22.8 Kbit/s with latest R9.1
•Half Rate TCH (TCH/H) :
•This Channel carried information at a gross rate at 6.5Kbit/s*
* Now it is 11.4 Kbit/s with latest R9.1
•Enhance Full Rate :
•The speech coding in EFR is still done at 13Kbit/s, but the
coding mechanism is different that is used for normal FR.
EFR gives better speech quality at the same bit rate than
normal FR.

Relationship Between Burst & Frame
Burst : Physical content of a TS is called Burst.There are 5 types of Bursts
each having 15/26 ms duration and 156.25 Bits.
Hyperframe: In GSM system every TDMA frame is assigned a fixed number,
which repeats itself in a time period of 3 HOURS 28 MINUTES 53
SECONDS 760 MILLISECONDS. This time period is referred to
as Hyperframe.
Superframe : =51x26 Multiframes. So, Duration =51x26x8x15/26=6Sec 120ms
Multiframe :There are two types of multiframe.
26 TDMA Frame Multiframe :Used to carry TCH, SACCH and
FACCH
Duration =26 x 8 x 15/26 =120ms
51 TDMA Frame Multiframe : Used to carry BCCH,CCCH,SDCCH
and SACCH.
Duration =51 x 8 x 15/26 =235.38ms

TDMA frames with Common and Dedicated Channels

Bursts

•Traffic channel
•SDCCH Channel
•Broadcast Control Channel
•Paging Channel
•Access Grant Channel
•SACCH & FACCH Channel

Bursts
Frequency Bursts:
All 148 bits(142+6) are coded with 0. The output of GMSK Modulator is a fixed
frequency signal exactly 67.7 Khz above the BCCH carrier frequency.
Thus the MS on receiving this fixed frequency signal fine tunes to the BCCH frequency
and waits for the Sync burst to arrive after 1 TDMA Frame .i.e =15/26*8=4.615ms

Bursts
Access Bursts:
This burst is used only for initial access by the MS to the BTS which applies 2 cases :
•For connection setup when idle state where a CHAN_REQ message is sent using
access burst
•For HO when MS send HND_ACC message.

Bursts
Dummy Bursts:
To enable the BCCH frequency to be transmitted with a constant power level, dummy
burst are inserted.
This burst is transmitted on CHGR=0 when no other type of burst is to be sent.
Thus it makes possible for MS to perform the power measurement on the BTS in order
to determine which BTS to use for initial access or which to use for HO
CCCH is replaced by the dummy page, when there is no paging message to transmit.

Mapping of Logical Channel
Method of transmitting logical channels onto physical channel is called Mapping
FCCH+SCH+BCCH+CCCH: An idle MS search for the FCH. When MS finds
the frequency correction burst it knows that this is TS 0 on CHGR=0
The cycle means F,S,B repeats after the Idle frame I.e. at Frame no 50. Cycle=51TS

SDCCH+SACCH: Cycle=102 TS This sequence is repeated after last idle frame.
The Uplink & Downlink pattern are time shifted, so SDCCH sub channel is sent in frame 0-3 on downlink
and in frame 15-18 on uplink. The reason for this is to achieve efficient communication, by giving MS time
to calculate its answer to the request received on down link SDCCH

Usage of SDCCH
The SDCCH are used in some different ways in the GSM network:
• Registrations: Periodic Location Updates, IMSI Attach/Detach
• Call Setup: Immediate Assignment -> Assignment.
• SMS point-to-point: SMS messages to/from MS in Idle mode.
• Fax Setup
• Optional: USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) data
transfer. MS<->Network. Similar to SMS. Controlled by the
MSC.

Possible Configurations
SDCCH/8 : 8 Sub channels for signaling are mapped on 1 TS, this results 1 less TCH
for the cell.
SDCCH/4 (Combining BCCH and SDCCH) :4 Sub channels for signaling are mapped
on BCCH TS. As a result Paging capacity on BCCH is reduced by 1/3.
CBCH : If CBCH is active 1 sub channel of SDCCH is replaced by 1 CBCH channel.
Limitations : SDCCH/8 in a cell = Number of TRX’s

SDCCH Congestion
SDCCH congestion: All SDCCH in a cell are at the same time busy for a
period of time which leads to rejection for new MS.
Reasons :
• Hanging SDCCH: Are SDCCH that are hanging busy and unusable for a
long time (many minutes or indefinite).
Hanging SDCCH are generally caused by SW faults.
• Heavily used SDCCH: SDCCH seen as continuously busy even though
they are used by different MS and thus carries traffic.
It may cause due to :
> Extreme end-user behaviors: Sport event ending, festivals or celebrations.
> Increased mean hold time of the SDCCH: Mean hold time increase from
2 to 10 seconds can give SDCCH congestion.

SDCCH Holding Time
Normal Location Updating = 3.5 Sec
Periodic Registration = 3.5 Sec
IMSI Attach = 3.5 Sec
IMSI Detach = 2.9 Sec (IMSI detach Indication message sent to
NW, no authentication is performed (which
normally takes 0.6Sec) & no ack is sent to MS.)
Call Setup = 2.7 Sec (MOC)
= 2.9 Sec (MTC)
Short Message Service(SMS) = 6.2 Sec (Vary depending the length of SMS)
Fax Transmission = 2.7 Sec (MOC)
= 2.9 Sec (MTC)
False Access = 1.8 Sec (when Channel req is rec’d by system ,as SDCCH
is allocated by sending Imm Ass message, and the system
waits a certain time before performing disconnection.)

SDCCH Traffic Estimations
Normal Location Update: Mean Holding time =3.5 Sec
No of Location update =1.0 per sub and BH
AC: Avg No of Location updates =1000X(1 X 3.5)/3600=0.972 mE/Sub
IC : No Location updating at all =1000X(0 X 3.5)/3600=0 mE/Sub
BC: 3 times the Avg no of Location updates =1000X(3 X 3.5)/3600=2.916mE/Sub
SMS: Mean Holding time =6.2 Sec
No of SMS submitted =1.0 per Sub and BH
Traffic : 1000 X (1.0 X 6.2) / 3600 =1.7 mE/sub
Call Setup: Mean Holding time =2.7 Sec(MOC) & 2.9 Sec(MTC)
Mob Originating Traffic (Incl B Ans) =0.8 BHCA
Mob Terminating Traffic (Incl B Ans) =0.4 BHCA
Traffic : 1000 X {(0.8 X 2.7)+(0.4 X 2.9)} / 3600 =0.9 mE/sub

Reasons for SDCCH congestion
Increased mean hold time of SDCCH can be caused by:
• Too low signal strength at access to the system
Due to LSS MS will be lost communication with the system, This will lead to timeout in the BSC
(RLINKT ), and thus the SDCCH is used until timeout. Increase ACCMIN.
• Congestion of TCH/TRA/RALT
Will increase CP execution time before rejecting Imm Ass. Minor increase in mean hold time expected.
• C7 problems to MSC (or TRC)
In case of C7 signalling problems (SCCP) towards MSC (and/or TRC) can lead to timeout on SCCP
connection setup. This will lead to more than 2 minutes hold time for SDCCH.
• Handover on SDCCH
Handover on SDCCH will in itself increase mean hold time on SDCCH. However minor increase is
expected.

Reasons for SDCCH congestion
• Congestion on Air-interface
Congestion on Air-interface leads to delay in communication to the MS. Can give timeout in BSC
during Imm Ass.Increases SDCCH mean hold time with more than 2 seconds.
• Congestion on Abis (LAPD link)
Congestion on Abis leads to delay in communication with BTS and MS. Can give timeout in BSC
during channel activation (TCHACTIVE). Increase SDCCH mean hold time with more than 5 seconds..
• Congestion on A-interface
Congestion on the A-interface will lead to increased mean hold time on SDCCH. Increase is unknown.
• High load in MSC/VLR or HLR
High load in MSC/VLR and/or HLR will lead to increased mean hold time on SDCCH. Increase is
unknown.

How to detect SDCCH congestion in the BSC
There is no good way to detect SDCCH congestion in real time in the
BSC!
A number of symptoms to look for:
• Increased CP Load.
• Decreased usage of TRA devices.
• Location Updates fails => Mobile terminating calls does not reach the subscriber.
• Subscriber complaints. Can not access the system.
• STS counters . Object type: CLSDCCH and CLSDCCHO.
• Seizure Supervision of LCHs (but only for Hanging SDCCHs!)

Preventive actions to avoid SDCCH congestion
• Avoid combined BCCH in cells with many SDCCHs
• Use the optional feature Adaptive Configuration of SDCCHs (ACLC)
• Use USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service data) with care, can cause long
meanhold time on SDCCH.
• Avoid Handover on SDCCH
• Proper Dimensioning of the TCHs and TRA devices in the BSC.
• Use recommended values for Periodic Location Updates
Avoid unnecessary Periodic Location Updates :
BSC: T3212 (RLSBC) = 40 (4 hours)
MSC: BTDM (MGIDI) = 240 (4 hours)
MSC: GTDM (MGIDI) = 6 (6 minutes)
• Use Immediate Assignment on TCH.
• Increases the no of SDCCH in a Cell where SDCCH load is high

SDCCH Dimensioning
SDCCH Dimensioning is a compromise between SDCCH blocking
rate and TCH Capacity. In order to have a successful call setup
there has to be an available SDCCH as well as available TCH.
Basic SDCCH configuration:
It is recommended to choose
1 SDCCH/8 as the basic configuration for all the cells,
If LA> 2100 Erlang (500 TRX)
1 SDCCH/4 as the basic configuration for all the cells,
If LA< 2100 Erlang (500 TRX)

SDCCH Dimensioning
Automatic SDCCH dimensioning:
This can be done with optional Adaptive Configuration of Logical
Channel feature.
This feature will add extra SDCCH/8 by reconfiguring idle TCH
when SDCCH load is high, and revert back to TCH if SDCCH load
goes down.
Manual SDCCH Dimensioning :
•Monitoring SDCCH / TCH Traffic in a cell
•SDCCH/TCH load ratio
•SDCCH Grade of Service:- Max allowed TCH GOS % = 2 %
The rule of Thumb says:
SDCCH/4 : Max. SDCCH GOS =1/2 * 2= 1 %
SDCCH/8 : Max. SDCCH GOS =1/4 * 2= 0.5%

SDCCH Dimensioning
Immediate Assignment on TCH:
In case of this feature on the channel administration assigns TCH for
signaling instead of an SDCCH, based on 7 different channels
allocation strategies (CHAPs)
TCH first strategy :
Decreases the SDCCH load and enable to use SDCCH/4 in all
the cells Traffic load on TCH will in this case increases
substantially so this strategy is not recommended.
SDCCH first strategy :
SDCCH is always allocated first if available, otherwise
signaling is performed on TCH.

SDCCH Dimensioning
Example :
ASSUME: CELL=3TRX ,SDCCH Traffic =4 Erlang, Bcchtype=NCOMB.No CBCH
GOS: SDCCH/4 = 1%, SDCCH/8 =0.5% & TCH % =2%
1> When Immediate Assignment on TCH not used
Erlang B Table :To maintain 0.5 % GOS & 4 Erlang min 13 Subchannels reqd
2SDCCH/8 => TCH=(3TRX*8TS) –(1BCCH)-(2SDCCH/8)=21TCH’s
21TCH’s with 2 % GOS => 14.04 Erlang
2> When Immediate Assignment on TCH used
If we use 1SDCCH/8 only than 4 Erlangs with 8 sub channels GOS=>3 %
Congested Erlang will be =4 Erlang x 3 %=0.12Erlang
1SDCCH/8 => TCH=(3TRX*8TS) –(1BCCH)-(1SDCH/8)=22TCH’s
22TCH’s with 2 % GOS => 14.9 Erlang
Actual TCH Capacity=14.9 – 0.12 = 14.7 Erlang
TCH Capacity in the cell is increased with 0.7 Erlang

Recommended SDCCH Configurations

SDCCH Dimensioning
HALF RATE CAPACITY CALCULATION
Half rate will affect SDCCH dimensioning since more signaling will be
req’d when no of TCH is increased.
Important dimensioning factor is therefore the Half rate penetration
.i.e.the % of Half rate mobile in a NW.
Example: 2 TRX Cell, Half Rate Penetration =10 %, 1 SDCCH/8
TCH/F =14 support 14 Subscriber
Penetration 10% of 14 is 1.4 = 2 Subscribers (Req’d 2 Half Rate TCH/H)
Total 13 TCH/F+2TCH/H = 15 TCH required
Capacity :
Erlang B Table: 15 TCH @ 2% GOS => 9.0096 Erlang
