5.2 New Feature Descriptions
5.2.1 ZMF02-10-003 Inter-System Carrier Shutdown
Table 5-2 ZMF02-10-003 Inter-System Carrier Shutdown
According to the distribution of power consumption of equipment in the

entire mobile network, the power consumption of base station equipment
occupies 90% while that of other equipment (including CN equipment
and NM equipment) occupies less than 10%. In the current phase, most
operators build their UMTS and FDD LTE networks on the basis of the
existing GSM network. If the system supports inter-mode carrier
shutdown when the GSM, UMTS, and LTE networks have the same
coverage, the carrier shutdown function can be enabled under a greatly
increasing number of scenarios, bringing about better energy saving
results. This feature aims to achieve the following three objectives:
Feature Description
1) After receiving a load request from the peer end (UMTS network or
LTE network) within the energy saving period, the system can return the
load and capacity information about the required cell. The GSM network
can use the information as the reference for determining whether to
accept users of the peer network after it is shut down.
2) If the load of the service cell that supports inter-system energy saving
crosses the threshold, the system can notify the peer end to activate
carrier frequencies of the corresponding cell.
3) After receiving a neighbor cell status indicator from the peer end, the
system can update the record immediately.

5.3.7 ZGO-03-07-006 MOCN Network Sharing
Table 5-10 ZGO-03-07-006 MOCN Network Sharing
Due to the restriction of conditions, some virtual operators and small

operators can only rent equipment to operate services. This mode is
called network sharing. There are two network sharing modes:
Network sharing in independent carrier f1.48 Tm[(P)1quency mode: Different cells
belong to different operatorTms, and a mobile phone selects its cell
according to the operTmator inforTmmation stored in the SIM card. In this
sharing mode, basically the BSC and CN do not need to be modified, but
only need to configure the cor Tm[(P)1sponding data. This mode is already
Feature Description supported in previous versions.
Network sharing in shared carrier frequency mode: The same cell can be
shared by several operators. This is resource sharing of a deeper
degree, which is also called complete network sharing. In this sharing
mode, the BSC and CN need to implement related protocols and
upgrade the software. Because the CN Tmmay not support the MOCN
feature, this sharing mode is greatly restricted. This version implements
the MOCN feature that does not rely on the CN. Here, add the principle
of the MOCN feature not relying on the CN.

5.3.10 ZGO-04-02-005 Dual-Band Shared Cell
Table 5-13 ZGO-04-02-005 Dual-Band Shared Cell
This feature includes three optimization points:

1. Independent control during handover into the COBCCH internal circle
The handover bounce-back function in the previous version is controlled
by a unified switch, which is disabled by default. The on-site office has
the requirement for independent control of the handover bounce-back
function during handover into the COBCCH internal circle. A new switch
is added only for this scenario, while the handover bounce-back function
under other scenarios is still controlled by the original switch.
2. Optimization of the handover quality in the COBCCH internal circle
According to the handover algorithm in previous versions, when a mobile
phone is in the COBCCH internal circle, if quality handover is triggered
due to poor RQ, the system actually triggers inter-cell handover. If the
neighbor cell does not meet the conditions, call drop may occur after
handover fails due to poor quality of the mobile phone. Thus, system
processing is optimized in the following way: When a mobile phone
initiates quality handover inside the COBCCH internal circle, if the
Feature Description
neighbor cell meets the conditions, the mobile phone is handed over to
the neighbor cell. If no appropriate neighbor cell is found, the system
checks whether the external circle meets the conditions (the electrical
level of the external circle must be greater than a certain threshold, and
the external circle must include a certain number of idle channels), and
hands over the mobile phone to the external circle if yes. The system
adds a switch to implement the control.
3. Punishment for frequent handover between internal and external
circles
In on-site offices, sometimes there is frequent continuous handover
between internal and external circles, so a punishment mechanism
needs to be added to forbid handover between internal and external
circles during a period. The on-site office also has the requirement of
controlling mobile phones in the external circle or internal circle. A switch
is added to control whether a mobile phone resides in the external circle
or internal circle within the punishment period after frequent handover.

5.3.11 ZGO-05-04-004 Enhanced IP Abis Interface
Table 5-14 ZGO-05-04-004 Enhanced IP Abis Interface
In IP Abis networking mode, there are independent switches for UDP

multiplexing and de-multiplexing at the BSC side and the base station
side respectively. The switches must be set consistent between the two
sides. Otherwise, the problem of one-way voice calls occurs. The
optimized solution is as follows:
The UDP packet multiplexing flow at the Abis interface between the BSC
side and base station side is controlled through a switch. The
de-multiplexing flow of multiplexed UDP packets is self-adaptable. Even
if the UDP multiplexing configuration is different between the BSC side
and the base station side, uplink and downlink packets at the Abis
interface can be processed properly.
1. Processing of downlink packets at the Abis interface:
Feature Description
The multiplexing flow at the BSC side keeps the current mode, that is,
the multiplexing function is controlled through a switch. The BTS
automatically checks whether an Abis downlink packet is a multiplexed
packet, and automatically de-multiplexes it if yes.
2. Processing of uplink packets at the Abis interface:
The current mode of the UDP multiplexing flow at the BTS side is kept,
that is, the multiplexing flow of UDP packets is controlled through a
switch. The BTS automatically checks whether a packet is a multiplexed
packet, and automatically de-multiplexes it if yes.
The UDP multiplexing flow at the Abis interface is controlled through a

(Cross-BSC DBE)
In the DBE function on previous versions, one sharing area only includes
cells under one BSC. However, because the management scope of one
BSC is small, the application of the DBE function is restricted. Through
this enhancement, one sharing area in the DBE function can cross
several BSCs. At present, the system supports four BSCs.
Only the iCS mode supports the cross-BSC scenario in the sharing area,
and the CSON mode keeps the previous support for non-cross-BSC
scenario in the sharing area. On the new version, the check for spectrum
sharing and recycling is performed on the iCS, which is still compatible
with the previous BSC determination mode on previous versions. Under
the scenario of cross-BSC in the sharing area, on the iCS, the
determination threshold needs to be configured by the sharing area. In
addition, the BSCs related to this sharing area also need to be
configured for the system to determine whether data is collected
completely. For a sharing area that is restricted to one BSC, the sharing
area does not need to be configured on the iCS. Instead, the system
uses the determination threshold of the BSC, so that user experience is
Feature Description consistent in the non-cross-BSC sharing area.
The BSC does not know whether the sharing area crosses BSCs, so it
always sends related parameters to the iCS. If the iCS determines that it
is a cross-BSC scenario, it checks the determination threshold
configured on the iCS. Otherwise, the iCS uses the determination
threshold sent by the BSC. The ID of the sharing area must be globally
unique, so that multiple BSCs can be associated. To determine spectrum
sharing and recycling, some previous parameters of the BSC still need to
be configured on the iCS, and some parameters are still configured on
BSCs but must be consistent between BSCs. The following parameters
involving the configuration mode need to be changed or are required:
GL spectrum sharing area ID: ID of the sharing area. It must be unique
and the same for all BSCs.
Time bitmap for GL spectrum sharing (Sunday): uses the configuration
on the iCS if the sharing area crosses BSCs.
Time bitmap for GL spectrum sharing (Monday): uses the configuration

Time bitmap for GL spectrum sharing (Tuesday): uses the configuration

Time bitmap for GL spectrum sharing (Wednesday): uses the
configuration on the iCS if the sharing area crosses BSCs.
Time bitmap for GL spectrum sharing (Thursday): uses the configuration
Time bitmap for GL spectrum sharing (Friday): uses the configuration on
the iCS if the sharing area crosses BSCs.
Time bitmap for GL spectrum sharing (Saturday): uses the configuration
Number of cells whose load can be higher than the threshold: This
parameter needs to be configured on the iCS if the sharing area crosses
BSCs.
Whether to support GL spectrum sharing: This parameter is still
configured on BSCs and must be consistent between BSCs.
Number of cells with high loads during emergency spectrum recycling:
This parameter needs to be configured on the iCS if the sharing area
crosses BSCs.
Number of cells with high loads during frequency point recycling: This
parameter needs to be configured on the iCS if the sharing area crosses
BSCs.
EARFCN of the EUTRAN downlink central frequency point: This
parameter is configured on the BSC and must be consistent between
BSCs.
EUTARN downlink bandwidth: This parameter is configured on BSCs
and must be consistent between BSCs.
Maximum EUTARN downlink bandwidth: This parameter is configured
on the BSC and must be consistent between BSCs.
Negative bandwidth of 5M: This parameter is configured on BSCs and
must be consistent between BSCs.
E-UTRAN FDD cell DN: This parameter is configured on BSCs and
combined on the iCS.

Interval of GL spectrum sharing: This parameter is configured on the iCS

if the sharing area crosses BSCs.
Service flow:
(1) Sharing/recycling triggered by performance measurement
After the BSC gets the counter every 15 minutes, it calculates the load
and reports the result (including the number of cells that need to be
recycled, meet or fail to meet the sharing conditions in each phase) to the
iCS. After the iCS summaries and checks the data, if the
sharing/recycling status needs to be change, the iCS notifies each BSC.
Each BSC transfers the corresponding services, and reports to the iCS
after service transfer is finished. The iCS then notifies each eNodeB to
share/recycle spectrums.
The sharing/recycling determination mode is the same as that of the BSC
on previous versions. In case of spectrum sharing, the system checks
whether the number of cells failing to meet the sharing conditions is less
than the threshold. In case of spectrum recycling, the system checks
whether the number of cells to be recycled is greater than the threshold.
Because the iCS determines spectrum sharing/recycling only after data
reported by all BSCs is collected, the clocks of BSCs must be consistent.
To achieve this purpose, the BSCs can be connected to the clock source
through the NTP.
(2) Recycling triggered by emergency load increase
The iCS collects emergency recycling requirements from each BSC and
determines whether to recycle the sharing area. If a sharing area needs
to be recycled, the iCS first notifies each BSC and then notifies the
corresponding eNodeB.
(3) Recycling triggered by configuration modifications
In case of spectrum resource recycling triggered by configuration
modifications, the BSC initially notifies the iCS, and the iCS notifies other
BSCs and eNodeBs.

1. Intra-cell handover triggered at the moment of DBE sharing is not
affected by the existing global intra-cell handover switch, but is
controlled by a DBE intra-cell handover switch.
2. The PS service reassignment flow triggered at the moment of DBE

3. During load calculation in case of spectrum sharing, recycling, and
emergency recycling of the DBE function, a switch is added to

control whether the load is calculated by an entire cell or by
sub-cells.
4. According to on-test tests, at the moment of spectrum sharing of the
DBE function, a few number of calls always drops. In order not to
affect the call loss indicator, at the moment of spectrum sharing, two
service handovers are triggered.
5. For key information that cannot be shared or must be recycled due
to performance or emergency reasons, syslog is output for users to
locate problems and immediately adjust the threshold in these
situations.

In E1A, DRTB appears detect error on DSP alarm and DSP

Symptom
resource unavailable alarm. DSP is reset irregularly.
Impact Sinle-path, murmur, noises and DSP automatic reset
When the sub-channel handover occurs on DRTB board, and
the handovers algorithm and channel types are different (one is
IP, and another is TDM). When handover occurs from IP to
TSM, TDM sub-channel is in non-activation state, DRTB board
UL should go into the IP packet receiving process. But if the
TDM sub-channels opposite end BIPB path No. is 0, the
execution will go wrong to start UL TDM packet processing.

Fault Analysis
When IP activated sub-channel sends empty packet, the
activated sub-cell DL will code by wrong algorithm, resulting in
single-path and noises.

Moreover, if the second handover occurs, that is, handover from
IP to TDM, and then from TDM to IP, the IP suc-channel coding
is set to the correct value. The PCM data can be received before
the wrong process starts, the codes are out of control because
the history data is the originally wrong algorithm, resulting in
reset.
Solution TDM UL packet receiving process is added with code protection.
