TCH/F + FACCH/F + SACCH/TF TCH/H + FACCH/H + SACCH/TH SDCCH/8 + SACCH/C8 FCCH + SCH + BCCH + CCCH (TS 0) FCCH + SCH + BCCH + CCCH + SDCCH/4 + SACCH/C4 (TS 0) BCCH + CCCH SDCCH/8 + SACCH/8 + CBCH FCCH + SCH + BCCH + CCCH + SDCCH/4 + SACCH/C4 + CBCH (TS

SDCCH Dimensioning
SDCCH used for: Call setup signalling Short message service (SMS) Location update (LU) IMSI attached/detached
18
SDCCH Dimensoning (2) TCH load per subscriber = [ # of call attempts per sub per hour*
%MOC + # of call attempts per sub per call*%MTC*(1-%no response)*(1-% no answer)*%MTC success] * mean call duration / 3600 = [ 1.1 * 60% + 1.1 * 40% * (1-32.5%) * (1-13.5%) * 54%] * 115/3600 = 0.026 Erlang
SDCCH load per subscriber = [number of call attempts*setup signalling + #LU per sub per hour*duration for loc update] / 3600 = [1.1 * 3 + 2.2 * 5] / 3600 = 0.004 Erlang

This configuration is preferred as it is TCH limited

Parameters Related To Channel
24
Common Control Channel Load (3)
CCCH Capacity Calculation (non-combined):
Uplink : 51*3600/(51*0.004615) = 780000 RACH slots per hour
downlink : 36*3600/(51*0.004615) = 137658 CCH blocks per hour
25
Common Control Channel Load (4)
CCCH Capacity Calculation (combined):
Uplink : 27*3600/(51*0.004615) = 413000 RACH slots per hour
downlink : 12*3600/(51*0.004615) = 45886 CCH blocks per hour
26
Common Control Channel Load (5)
CCCH Capacity 1 RACH slot : a channel message for 1
subscriber 1 CCCH block (4 slots): 1 paging message for 1..4
subscribers* or 1 access grant message for 1..2 subscribers
* Depends on IMSI(2) or TMSI(4) paging
27
Common Control Channel Load (6) - RACH
Used by MS to request a dedicated channel (SDCCH)
The causes for the channel request can be: A paging response in MTC An emergency call A MOC LU or IMSI attach/detach
Parameters related to RACH maxNumberOfRetransmission (1, 2, 4 or 7) numberOfSlotsSpreadTrans (3 ... 12, 14, 16, 20, 25, 32,
50)
28
Common Control Channel Load (7) - RACH
The combination of maxNumberOfRetransmission and numberOfSlotsSpreadTrans values determine the time period between sending of two channels requests.
This period is measured in RACH slots and is the sum of a deterministic part S and a random part tr. (refer to GSM 04.08)
RACH can be configured in combined and non-combined case Combined: all 27 timeslot0 out of 51 timeslots Non-combined: all timeslot0,2,4,6
29
Common Control Channel Load (8) - RACH
values for 50000 RACH activities per hour
30
Common Control Channel Load (9) - RACH
The minimum blocking is achieved by the following setting of parameters: maxNumberOfRetransmission = 7, numberOfSlotsSpreadTrans = 50
The configuration of CCCH is mainly determined by the capacity needed by the downlink channels, the RACH configuration is uncritical
31
Common Control Channel Load (10) - PCH
PCH may be used as AGCH but not vice-versa MOC requires AGCH and MTC requires PCH Typical network will have MOC higher than MTC Strategy: to dimension the AGCH to a smaller value
and let the system organise the use of channels Parameter related to PCH:
noOfMultiframesBetweenPaging (2 ... 9) It indicates the number of TDMA multiframes between
transmission of paging message to the same paging sub-group
It impacts on the MS battery life and MTC setup time Higher value will save battery life but longer call setup time
and vice versa Recommended value is 5
32
Common Control Channel Load (11) - AGCH
Parameter related to AGCH: NumberOfBlocksForAccessGrant (0 ... 7) It defines the number of blocks reserved for
access grant messages from the CCCH during the 51 TDMA frame (a multiframe)
Recommended value is 1 for combined and 2 for non-combined configuration
Note that if the AGCH is insufficient, PCH can be used as AGCH
34
Common Control Channel Load (12) – Example Cont..
Analysis: DL CCCH (PCH and AGCH) is the limiting factor The usage for PCH and AGCH is almost equal
For MOC, response to paging in MTC, LU and IMSI attached/detached, thus 4 RACHactivities per sub per hour
35
Common Control Channel Load (12) – Paging Capacity
Paging demand is a function of: Number of MTC Number of subscribers in the LAC Paging repetition
PCH can be configured as combined or non-combined : Combined: both BCCH and SDCCH occupy the TS0 12 out of 51 slots per multiframe form 3 PCH/AGCH,
each block consists of 4 slots
36
Common Control Channel Load (12) – Paging Capacity
PCH can be configured as combined or non-combined: Non-combined: BCCH occupies TS0 and SDCCH occupies TS1 36 out of 51 slots per multiframe form 9 PCH/AGCH, each block
consists of 4 slots
Split of blocks between PCH and AGCH: the available blocks in 51 multiframe is splitted between PCH and AGCH and it is set by parameter NumberOfBlocksForAccessGrant
37
Common Control Channel Load (13) – Paging Capacity
IMSI/TMSI paging: IMSI: 2 mobiles can be paged with each page
message occupying 4 slots TMSI: 4 mobiles can be paged with each page
message occupying 4 slots
Paging capacity calculation: PCH per second
38
Common Control Channel Load (14) – Paging Capacity
What does the table mean? CCCH can be used for both AGCH and PCH Example for combined configuration, 3 CCCH blocks are
available If u reserve 0 blocks for AGCH, all 3 CCCH blocks will be used
for PCH If u reserve 2 blocks for AGCH, only 1 CCCH blocks will be used
for PCH
39
Common Control Channel Load (15) – Paging Capacity
For combined BCCH:
Making sense out of the table: Number of MS that can be paged in a
second: Depends on IMSI or TMSI paging and Number of blocks reserved for AG
40
Common Control Channel Load (16) – Paging Capacity
For Combined BCCH Example: if u reserved 1 block for AG, then u
have 2 blocks for PCH If u decide TMSI paging, I.e. 4 MS can be paged
with 1 block of PCH Thus; (number of PCH blocks*number of pages
per block)/(51*one TDMA frame period); =(2*4) / (51*0.004615) = 34 34 MS can be paged in a second (using TMSI
paging)
42
Common Control Channel Load (18) – Paging Capacity
For Non Combined BCCH
Making sense out of the table: 3 blocks reserved for AG, remaining 6 blocks used for PCH Number of MS can be paged in a second (TMSI paging) = (6*3)/(51*0.004615) = 76 MS/second

Location Area Design
What is Location Area? A location area is an area in which MSs may
roam without updating the location registers A location area consists of one or more cells
What information you need? Traffic model
• What is next? Calculate SDCCH traffic Determine paging capacity Calculate LA size (in term of number of cells)
