2 Overview of Adjustment of Adaptive Timing Advance

In the GSM system, an uplink is a radio link for transmitting signals from an MS to a BTS while a
downlink is for transmitting signals from a BTS to an MS. The Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
frame of an uplink is later than that of a downlink by three bursts, that is, about 1730 s. Transmission
delay between the MS and the BTS, however, changes due to MS mobility. To compensate for
transmission delay jitter, the MS must transmit signals to the BTS by a certain time period in advance.
The time period is referred to as a Timing Advance (TA). An MS in dedicated mode must transmit signals
in an appropriate TA. Otherwise, the synchronization between the MS and the BTS loses. In the GSM
system, adjustment of adaptive timing advance is applied to ensure that each MS in dedicated mode
uses an appropriate TA. Thus, the signals transmitted by the MSs that have different distances from the
BTS can arrive at the BTS in sequence to avoid signal conflict and MS intervention.

3 Technical Description
By means of adjustment of adaptive timing advance, the TA offset of an MS can be reduced to +1 or -1
time length of a symbol.
In the GSM system, TDMA technology is applied over the Um interface. Each MS must transmit signals
in the assigned timeslot, and the BTS must receive the signals in the corresponding timeslot. Figure 3-1
shows the delay offset of signals received by the BTS when the MS is traveling away from position P1, to
P2, and then to P3.
It is assumed that the MS originally occupies timeslot 1 (TS1). That is, the signals transmitted by the MS
are expected to arrive at the BTS in TS1, as shown in Figure 3-1. When the MS is close to the BTS, the
transmission delay is short, and the BTS can receive signals from the MS right in TS1. As the MS travels
away from the BTS, the transmission delay is prolonged and the signals transmitted by the MS may
arrive at the BTS in a later TS if the TA is not adjusted. For example, as shown in Figure 3-1, when the
MS moves to P3, some signals from the MS arrive in TS2. These signals are overlapped by the signals
that are from other MSs and also arrive in TS2, and thus they cannot be decoded appropriately.

To avoid this problem, the base station subsystem (BSS) monitors the required transmission time of
each signal from the MS to the BTS and informs the moving MS of TA adjustment. Then, the MS
transmits signals with the adjusted TA. This ensures that all signals from the MS can be received by the
BTS in TS1, as shown in Figure 3-2.
A TA value ranges from 0 s to 233 s. The TA value affects the radio coverage of cells.

In the GSM system, the TA value is an integer ranging from 0 to 63. It refers to the time required for
transmitting 0- to 63-bit data. If the TA value is 0, the MS need not transmit signals in advance; if the TA
value is 63, the distance between the MS and the BTS is the maximum, that is, approximately 35 km. If
the MS transmits signals at a distance greater than 35 km, the signals arrive at the BTS in the next
timeslot and cannot be decoded appropriately. By means of adjustment of adaptive timing advance, the
TA offset of the MS can be reduced to +1 or -1 time length of a symbol. By setting Max TA, the BSC can
specify the maximum TA value of MSs in each cell. It is recommended that Max TA of MSs in common
cells be set to 62.
