Full Rate
Traffic Channel (TCH) carries coded voice data. The full-
rate TCH is initially adopted to carry information at the
gross rate 22.8Kbit/s. The information contains the source
coding rate of 13Kbit/s.
As technologies develop, the enhanced full rate, half rate,
multiple rate and other coding are introduced.

The Function of EFR
The Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) is a speech coding scheme with
an enhanced full rate. Using this coding scheme, you can provide
services with better speech quality.
In the wireless communications system, the EFR applies to only
speech services and is irrelevant to data services or signaling
services.
The EFR function adopts the CELP( Code Excited Linear
Predictive Coding) coding scheme, thus improves the quality of
the speech signal.
When EFR is adopted, the transmission rate of the speech
signal of an MS on the air interface is 12.2 kbit/s.

The Function of HR
The half rate voice coding uses a new voice coding algorithm
called VCELP VCELP ((Vector Vector--Sum Excited Linear Prediction Sum Excited Linear Prediction)) to reduce
the voice coding rate to half that of full rate voice service. Thus,
one physical channel that can only support one call under the
full rate can support two calls under half rate.
If the half rate service is used, the voice capacity expands twice
without adding TRXs. By adopting half rate service, the operator
can fully use the current network to expand the system capacity.
This saves the cost and eases the spectrum use.

Channel Assignment Strategies
If the half rate function is used, when BSC receives the
assignment request from the MSC, it will decides to use the
channel allocation algorithm according to channel assignment
strategy specified in the data configuration.
MSC channel assignment strategy
Assign the channel according to the MSC request. If the request from MSC
is "TCHF preferred", assign the full rate channel preferentially. If it is
"TCHH preferred", assign the half rate channel preferentially.
BSC channel assignment strategy
When the assignment request sent from MSC is "Full rate TCH preferred"
or" Half rate TCH preferred", BSC assigns the proper channel according to
the availability of idle full rate channel in the cell and the allowance of MSC.
14
Copyright 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page26
Channel Assignment Strategies
The BSC channel allocation strategy is the default strategy. That is,
when the network is idle, the full rate is used, otherwise, the half
rate is used.
For the call that uses the half rate preferentially, the single channel
is assigned preferentially to reduce the fragment.
If a cell has multiple TRXs, the channels on the TRXs that do not
allow the rate adjustment are assigned preferentially.
Copyright 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page27
Rate Adjustment Flow
If the channel assignment request is to choose the full rate channel only:
When there is idle full rate channel, assign the channel directly.
When there is no idle full rate channel in the cell, but there is idle couple
channel, convert the couple channel to full rate channel and then assign the
converted full rate channel.
When there is no idle full rate channel and idle couple channel in the cell, but
there is idle single channel, check whether the number of single channel in
the cell is more than one. If yes, initiate intracell handover to form a couple
channel and then convert the couple channel to full rate to assign.
Otherwise, reject the assignment request.

AMR Overview
AMR (Adaptive Multi Rate) is a new voice coding technique after EFR,
FR, and HR.
Its core thought is to automatically select appropriate codec algorithm
and constantly select the voice coding rate according to change of the
uplink/downlink signal quality.

AMR Overview
AMR is a collection of multiple voice codec algorithms. AMR allows the
BTS and the MS to select appropriate codec algorithms according to the
actual situation of the radio environment.
AMR is applicable only to the voice service of the wireless communication
system. It is not related to data service and signaling service.
You need to obtain license to use AMR. The license is applied on one cell.

Impact of AMR on Network Quality(1)
Impact of AMR on Voice Quality
According to the simulation result, when C/I is greater than 6, the
voice quality performance in descending order is FR AMR, EFR, HR
AMR, FR, and HR. It can be seen that AMR can effectively improve
network quality.
The voice quality performance of HR AMR is the similar to FR,
However, radio bandwidth occupied by HR AMR in the Um interface
is only half of that of FR. Therefore, HR AMR can not only ensure the
good voice quality, but also increase the system capacity effectively.
29
Copyright 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page57
Impact of AMR on Network Quality(2)
Impact of AMR on Network Coverage
AMR Network Coverage Performance
AMR has excellent anti-interference capability. Under the same FER,
AMR supports lower CIR than non-AMR. Therefore AMR has better
coverage performance.
AMR Coverage Bottleneck
In the actual coverage capability of AMR is determined by the coverage
capability of the SACCH.
In application, the data[RLT] and [SACCH Multi-Frames] should be
set to higher values for AMR channels to increase the robustness of the
SACCH. Thus the network coverage performance of AMR is improved
and the call drop rate is reduced.
Enhanced signaling link technique is available to improve it.
Copyright 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page58
Impact of AMR on Network Quality(3)
Impact of AMR on the Network Capacity
AMR can equivalently increase the total spectrum bandwidth
of the Radio System
AMR can tolerate lower C/I. With AMR, the number of cells in a
frequency reuse cluster is smaller and the spectrum reuse
degree is higher, compared with non-AMR.
AMR can reduce the radio bandwidth for a single user
When HR AMR is used, the number of channels doubles, while
the voice quality does not drop obviously.
30
Copyright 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page59
Impact of AMR on Network Quality(4)
Impact of AMR on KPIs
Traffic volume
The voice codec of AMR has low requirement for CIR, so in weak coverage areas
where calls could not be made before, AMR calls can be made, thus reducing the
possibility of users hang-up. Therefore, AMR can improve network traffic volume.
Call drop rate
AMR only optimizes the performance of the voice frames. In weak coverage areas,
because voice frames can be correctly decoded, users will not hand up a phone,
however, because the SACCH frames cannot be correctly decoded, the RLT times
out, leading to call drop. Therefore with AMR, the call drop rate can rise, while
enhanced signaling link technique is available to improve it.
Handover
AMR increases the width and depth of the network coverage. But C/I is low in these
weak coverage areas and the receive quality in the measurement report is poor,
triggering BQ handover. Therefore with AMR, the number of BQ handovers can rise.

2. ACS and Starting Mode
ACS should be set basing on the actual radio environment.
However, because of the complexity of the actual radio
environment and the randomness of users' behaviors, not all
of the coding modes can be listed. Generally, the worst

between them are selected.

AMR Parameter Introduction(4)
Principles of AMR Codec Mode Adjustment
The criteria for conversion of the voice codec mode is CODEC MODE 1~4
corresponding to THR_1~3 and HYST1~3
Assume that the active codec mode is CODEC_MODE_3 for example. When
C/I is greater than THR_3+HYST_3, the codec mode is switched to
CODEC_MODE_4; when C/I is smaller than THR_2, the codec mode is
switched to CODEC_MODE_2

CODEC_MODE_4
CODEC_MODE_3
CODEC_MODE_2
CODEC_MODE_1
C/I
THR_1 + HYST_1 = THR_MX_Up(1)
THR_1 = THR_MX_Dn(2)
THR_2 = THR_MX_Dn(3)
THR_2 + HYST_2 = THR_MX_Up(2)
THR_3 = THR_MX_Dn(4)
THR_3 + HYST_3 = THR_MX_Up(3)
The adjustment of the
practical voice codec
rate can only changes
step by step, while can
not jump over several
steps for sudden
changing of C/I
Copyright 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page76
Principle of AMR Coding Mode Adjustment
The uplink coding mode is detected by the BTS.
If the BTS discovers that the configured threshold is achieved, it initiates
Coding Mode Change command.
After the conversion of the coding mode is completed, the MS responds with
a Coding Mode Indication message.

Principle of AMR Coding Mode Adjustment
The downlink coding is detected by the MS(The same algorithm is used).
When the MS detects that the threshold is achieved, it initiates Coding
Mode Request.
The BTS either ignores or immediately responds to the request
depending on the actual situation.
Upon completion, the BTS sends a Coding Mode Indication message
to the MS.

To increase the robustness of the SACCH channel, to
improve the AMR network coverage performance, and to
lower the call drop rate, in practice the RLT and SACCH Multi-
Frames should be set higher.
On the other side, Enhanced Signaling Link Technique is
available to improve it.

Repeated Downlink FACCH Technical Principle
Enable BSS to transmit the FACCH frames repeatedly when the measurement
result of the downlink link is lower than the threshold configured.
The repetition mechanism is as follows
0 ! ? 3 1 b 8 9 !0 !! !? !3 !1 ! !b ! !8 !9 ?0 ?! ?? ?3 ?1 ?

2. BSC decodes the capability of the MS support Repeated ACCH ,
and then informs BTS about the Repeated ACCH Capability of the
MS via Channel Active message when activizing TCH channel.
3. BTS determines whether to start to send repeated FACCH
messages by comparing the receive quality provided in the downlink
MR and the Repeated Downlink FACCH Threshold.

Enhanced Signaling Link Technique
Repeated SACCH Technical Principle
Add SRO(SACCH Repetition Order) indication bit on the downlink SACCH, and
SRR(SACCH Repetition Request) indication bit on the uplink SACCH.
Upon the failure to decode an SACCH frame, BTS sets the SRO to 1, requesting
MS to resend the SACCH frame.
Upon the failure to decode an SACCH frame, MS sets the SRR to 1, requesting
BTS to resend the SACCH frame.

3. Suppose MS supports Repeated ACCH Capability
when BTS receives the uplink SACCH frame in which SRR=1, the BTS
will resend SACCH frames excluding short message until SRR=0
If BTS fails to decode an uplink SACCH, BTS sets SRO=1, requesting
MS to resend the uplink SACCH frame until SRO=0

7. AMR Handover Parameters
AMR handover is the intra-cell handover between FR AMR and
HR AMR.
Via HR-FR channel conversion, which is based on RQI and
channel occupation ratio, control strategy for balancing between
the capacity and quality of the cell is provided.
When configure the handover parameters, [AMR TCH/H Prior
Allowed] and [AMR TCH/H Prior Cell Load Threshold] should
be taken into account.

AMR Handover Procedure
AMR handover refers to the intra-cell handover between FR AMR and HR
AMR basing on the RQI.
The AMR handover provides control strategy of capacity-quality balance
within a cell.
The AMR handover is implemented through the intra-cell handover procedure.
If in P seconds of N seconds:
RQI > [F2H HO Threshold], then intra-cell handover indication from FR AMR to
HR AMR is initiated;
RQI < [H2F HO Threshold], then intra-cell handover indication from HR AMR to
FR AMAR is initiated.
Relationship between RQI and C/I RQI = 2*C/I

8. AMR Power Control Parameters
Different power control thresholds are set for AMR calls and non-AMR
calls. AMR calls are transmitted in lower power than non-AMR calls.
The setting principles are as follows:
Set lower AMR UL/DL RX_LEV Upper/Lower Threshold for AMR calls
than those for non-AMR calls.
Set higher AMR UL/DL Qual. Upper/lower Threshold for AMR calls than
those for non-AMR calls.
Keep other AMR power control parameters consistent with normal power
control parameters.
In practice, need to consider the setting of normal power control
parameters to adjust the AMR power control parameters.
