Overview

2.1

Feature Introduction When using AMR, it can function normally under lower C/I because the higher coding robust. Therefore, if the network supports AMR, the performance of FACCH and SACCH

are very important for the network performance entirely. The comparison performance of TCH, SACCH, FACCH is shown in Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1

The Link Performance Comparison in AMR Voice Channel and Control

Channel

From Figure 1, FACCH and the highest rate AMR-FR 12.2K have the same link performances. When FER of SACCH link is 1%, the C/I it needs to be 2dB higher than that of AMR-FR 12.2 K. Furthermore, FACCH or SACCH will not use FER to measure whether the channel could function or not. The criterion is whether it could decode signaling correctly. The relation figures of FACCH and SACCH retransmission and control command decoding success probability are shown in Fig 2-2, 2-3.

Decoding Success Rate Curve of SACCH Retransmission

From figure 2-2 and 2-3, adopting retransmission SACCH and FACCH can greatly improve the possibility of decoding signaling message correctly. It can make signaling channels and traffic channels working to reach the performance of control channels and AMR traffic channels in the same C/I environment.

Technical Description In order to match performance of AMR traffic channel to make the signaling channel and traffic channel work under the same C/I situation. Retransmission mechanism is adopted for dedicated signaling FACCH and SACCH. FACCH and SACCH retransmission can greatly improve the success rate of signaling decoding and handover, minimize the call drop. SACCH retransmission depends on MS. If the “Repeat ACCH Capability” of MS is “1”, which indicates by the MS Classmark 3 in the “Classmark Change” massage, meaning MS supports FACCH retransmission and BSS can retransmit the demand frame or response frame of LAPDm; If not, BSS can only retransmit demand frame of LAPDm. On SACCH, if the “Repeat ACCH Capability” of MS is 1, BTS can accept the MS retransmission request and begin to retransmit, or retransmit actively according to the measurement report; otherwise handled as normal way.

3.1

FACCH Retransmission Process According to downlink measurement report, if received signal level is lower than the threshold,

BSS will retransmit FACCH block after sending the latter 8 or 9 (there is

SACCH frame or idle frame between two FACCH) TDMA frames of FACCH block containing the first case of LAPDm. BTS side can send repeatedly any command frames on FACCH; if MS indicates itself “Repeated ACCH Capability” 1, BTS side can also send repeatedly response frames to FACCH.

If MS decodes FACCH successfully, find the same block have been received and it has agreement on protocol with the separation of current FACCH block, MS will not send the frame to its LAPDm protocol for further handling. If MS decodes FACCH and finds this frame has not been received before, MS will send this frame to LAPDm protocol for further handling. If FACCH decoding fails before and now, the gap between them complies with protocol, then combine the two decoding and recoding. If recoding succeed, decode results will be sent to LAPDm protocol for further handling. Figure 3-1

Explanation of FACCH retransmission parameter in protocol

Repeated ACCH Capability (1 bit field) This field indicates whether the MS supports Repeated SACCH and Repeated Downlink FACCH (see 3GPP TS 44.006 [76]). It is coded as follows:

0

The mobile station does not support Repeated SACCH

1

The mobile station supports Repeated SACCH and Repeated Downlink

FACCH An MS that only supports Repeated Downlink FACCH shall set this bit field to „0‟. As shown in Fig 3-1, R6 cell phones add some description on the support of ACCH Capability function. For cell phones not supporting repeated FACCH, retransmission FACCH messages will receive reject frame. For the system simulation of repeated FACCH, as shown in figure 3-2 and 3-3, in figure 3-2, if FER=0.1, C/I(FACCH)=5.2dB, then C/I(Repeated FACCH)=2.6dB; in figure 3-3, if FER=0.1, C/I(FACCH)=5.8dB, then C/I(Repeated FACCH)=2.8dB. TU3/TU50 suggests the mobile speed which has no impact upon the performance comparison. As a conclusion, with the repeated FACCH applied in the network, the performance is enhanced effectively.

SACCH Retransmission Process SACCH retransmission begin to resend only for SAPI=0 of SACCH message. The parameters explanation of SACCH retransmission in protocol is shown in Fig 3-4. Figure 3-4

Explanation of SACCH retransmission parameter in protocol

When MS support repeated SACCH, it is meaningful for downlink SRO (SACCH repetition Order) and uplink SRR (SACCH Repetition Request) in SACCH L1 head. SR0=1, it means BSS side want MS to resend the SACCH of last frame. SRR=1, it means MS side want BSS to resend the SACCH of last frame.

For the system simulation of repeated SACCH, the performance comparisons are as shown in figure 3-5 and figure 3-6.

ZGO-04-02-009 Repeated FACCH/SACCH

In Figure3-5, if FER=0.1, C/I (FACCH)=6.0dB, then C/I (Repeated SACCH)=3.6dB, in figure 3-6, if FER=0.1, C/I(SACCH)=6.0dB, then C/I(Repeated SACCH)=2.6dB. TU3/TU50 suggests the mobile speed which does not have any impact upon the performance comparison. As a conclusion, with the repeated SACCH applied in the network, the performance is enhanced effectively.

3.2.1

Downlink SACCH Retransmission Process 1

MS Side

When MS fails to SACCH decode, it will send SACCH Repetition Request to network. After receiving it, network will decode repetition block first. If it fails again, combination decode of the last SACCH is available. If downlink SACCH block cannot be decoded successfully and the next uplink SACCH block is not retransmission message, MS will set “SACCH Repetition Request” to send SACCH retransmission in request downlink in next uplink SACCH block. If downlink SACCH block can be decoded successfully and the next uplink SACCH block is not retransmission message, MS will set “SACCH Repetition Request” to indicate no request SACCH retransmission in the next SACCH block. 2

BSS Side

If transmission downlink SACCH block is the frame of SAPI=0 and don‟t send repeatedly, this frame is the next candidate which can be sent repeatedly. If there is one repetition candidate and BSS has received the Repetiton Request of MS, BSS will send this candidate in the next SACCH block. If there is just one frame of SAPI=3 which need to be sent, BSS should delay to send the frame of SAPI=3 and give priority to send the repeated frame.

The service access point identifier (SAPI) identifies a point at which data link layer services are provided by the data link layer to a layer 3 entity (see 3GPP TS 44.005). The SAPI allows 8 service access points to be specified initially, where bit 3 of the address field octet containing the SAPI is the least significant binary digit and bit 5 is the most significant.

All others

Reserved for future standardization

When receiving downlink SACCH block, MS should first decode alone. If decode is not successful, MS will combine the current frame to the last frame to decode together.

3.3

Uplind SACCH Retransmission Process 1

MS Side

If transmission uplink SACCH block is the frame of SAPI=0 and not be sent repeatedly, this frame is the retransmission candidate. If MS side has one retransmission candidate and the last correctly received SACCH Repetition Order is set to “Repeated SACCH required”, MS will retransmit this candidate in the next SACCH block. If there is SAPI=3 which need to be sent right now, MS should delay to send the frame of SAPI=3 and give priority to send the repeated frame. 2

BSS Side

When network side fails to SACCH decode, it will send SACCH Repetition Order to MS. After MS receives repetition SACCH message, it will first decode the repetition block. If fails again, it can combine the last SACCH to decode together. When MS send SACCH message of SAPI=0 and receive the repetition command again, it will resend the SACCH block in the following SACCH period. If a SAPI 3 frame was also scheduled to be sent at this next SACCH period, the BSS may delay the sending of the SAPI 3 frame by one SACCH period in order to make room for the repetition.
