What
Concentric Cell
Enhanced Concentric Cell
Co-BCCH Cell
Common BCCH Cell, also called GSM900&DCS1800, Multi-band cell;
Based on Enhanced Concentric Cell Algorithm;
UL provides BCCH, SDCCH,PDCH and TCH channels,

while OL only provides the TCH channels
OL(DCS 1800) contains only TCH, For Traffic Load
UL(GSM 900) carries BCCH, SDCCH, PDCH & TCH, For Coverage
Huawei Confidential
Page 4
Why
Frequency restrict:
The frequency resource doesnt support high configuration
Improve capability:
UL and OL share the BCCH, SDCCH, PDCH, and the TCH
channels will be increased accordingly
Simplify network structure:
GSM900 BCCH
Reduce number of cells in the network
SDCCH/TCH
Reduce number of neighboring cells

Simplify multi-layer network into one layer network

1.system optimization : traffic distribution can be changed to adapt real traffic

model by tuning Assign-Optimum-Level Thrsh, which can preventing
congestion on UL, while make good use of OL.
2.UL: calls will be assigned to UL.3.OL: calls will assigned out of OL coverage

Blind Handover from UL to OL
1. Since DCS1800 cells do not have BCCH
channel,
forced handover to DCS1800 cells is blind (no

Risk
2. Have to constantly adjust handover parameters to minimize inter-layer
handovers (different cells have different RF environment, morphology
and traffic load).

Solution : For a period Operation & Maintain of COBCCH network, we
can provide formula base on traffic and Key counters.
3. When GSM900 cell experience outage (faulty BCCH TRX, faulty circuit
packs), DCS1800 cell cannot absorb the traffic (lost revenue).
Solution : Configure more than one 900M TRX in the underlay sub-cell,
if BCCH TRX fault, another 900M TRX will replace it.

Restriction
Dont support different band frequency in one frequency hopping

sequence
Support GPRS in each band, but PDCH must be allocated on TRX
whose frequency band is same to BCCH
Flexibility is not so good as 900-1800 co-site cell
