1 INTRODUCTION
This document is created to present the results of EGPRS trial of DST project, Brunei. The purpose of this trial is to assess the improvement, which brought by EGPRS radio access. The EGPRS feature is introduced in BSS B8 release, to improve the data throughput. The trial consist of 4 parts: 1. Validate the GPRS service improvement, which brought by new coding scheme CS3 and CS4 in BSS release B8 MR4. 2. Access the data throughput improvement, which brought by new feature, EDGE radio access. 3. Access the EDGE performance impact due to frequency hopping type (NH, BBH, RH/NH) 4. Compare the data throughput gain between EDGE and GPRS on difference radio condition (Good, Normal, Poor) The document contains the following topics: - Test description - Test result, which consist of 2 parts, static and mobility test. - GPRS and EGPRS QoS statistics.

Radio QoS statistic tool: RNO/NPA for QoS statistic monitoring. EDGE terminal: MS with EDGE capable, Nokia 6220, is 3GPP GSM Release 99 terminal supporting GPRS and EGPRS service, and support also Release 97 GPRS networks. 2+1 in case of EGPRS transfers, 3+1 in case of GPRS transfers with downlink bias and 2+2 in case of GPRS uplink transfers.
2.3 Trial Procedure

The trial is consists of 2 parts in 2 applications, FTP and MMS. FTP application is use to verify data transfer performance. MMS application is use to verify data packet service performance of popular application. The trial test is consists of 2 parts, static and mobility test. 1. Static test is performed on 3 cells, MTR002_1, MSL001_1, YYS201_2. On each cell, 3 different radio conditions are selected, based on the downlink received level (Rxlev) and Mean BEP (Bit Error Probability). Detail of radio condition define is in APPENDIX B. 2. Mobility test is performed in the areas, which serving by 4 sites: Cube_Mentiri: MTR002_1 Mangsalut: MSL001_1, MSL001_2, MSL001_3 Tanah_Jambu: TJB001_1, TJB001_2, TJB001_3 Sungai_Hanching: SHC001_1, SHC001_2, SHC001_3

Static test is performed on 3 cell, which having different frequency hopping type. In each cell, 3 difference radio conditions are selected for testing, good, normal and poor radio condition (APPENDIX B). The 3 tested cells are MTR002_1 with frequency non-hopping type (NH), MSL001_1 with Base band hopping type (BBH) and YYS201_2 with synthesize hopping type (RH/NH). The test for End User QoS consists of 5 parts: 1. To validate GPRS performance improvement, which brought by new coding scheme CS3 & CS4 with TRX class 2. 2. To highlight the EGPRS performance on difference TRC class, TRX class 2 to 5. 3. To access the gain with brought by EGPRS mode compare to GPRS. 4. To access the impact of frequency hopping type (NH, BBH, RH/NH) on data throughput. 5. To access the impact of radio conditions (good, normal, poor) on data throughput.

In good radio condition of MTR002_1, which has no frequency hopping, given maximum throughput as show in line chart. In test field conditions, there is no big difference in term of download throughput, between TRX class 4 and 5, due to maximum modulation coding scheme, MCS9 of TRX class5, has no protection bit and high sensitive to radio interference. In TRX class 4 and 5, have big gap between average and maximum download throughput, due to the high modulation coding scheme, such as MCS8 & MCS9 of TRX class 4 & 5, has less protection bit and more sensitive to radio interference compare to lower MCS in TRX class 2 & 3. Only in good radio condition of clean frequency plan cell, such as non-frequency-hopping cell that can give high throughput.

In theory, GPRS mode with TRX class 2 has maximum uplink RLC throughput 20kbps, while EGPRS with TRX class 2 has maximum uplink RLC throughput only 17.6kbps. However, in test field conditions, EGPRS give higher average upload and download throughput compare to GPRS (In download 19.3 > 16.2, and in upload 13.9 > 13.6), because of the new adaptation MCS mechanism and re-transmission mechanism of EGPRS has more efficiency compare to GPRS.

Figure12: Sending and Receiving MMS
Sending time of GPRS seem faster than EGPRS because of, in GPRS mode 2 timeslots is allocated for sending data, and in EGPRS mode has only 1 timeslot, allocated. In EGPRS mode, no sending time difference between TRX classes, because of all TRX class in EGPRS mode offer same maximum uplink throughput, maximum modulation coding scheme is MCS4 (17.6 kbps). During receiving data, 3 timeslots is allocated for GPRS mode, and 2 timeslots is allocated for EGPRS mode. In EGPRS mode, no big receiving time difference between TRX classes, because of the MMS application is small data packet, only 26Kbytes file attached, so data throughput cannot reach the maximum speed.

Figure44: Uplink TBF establishment
Most of uplink TBF establishment due to BSS fail, is effect from some cells was sleeping (100% UL_TBF_est_fail_BSS). Especially on MSL001_3, which have sleeping many times during 21/09/2004 until 26/09/2004, suspect due to unstable transmission line. Anyway the correction for sleeping cell (100% UL_TBF_est_fail), lock unlock GPRS is impact on whole BTS on same GPU, which create GPRS down time around 5 minutes. On 28/09/2004, 100% uplink TBF establishment fail is occurs on whole cell in same GPU during 8-11 AM, which impact from GPU problem, after apply TRX pools to the BTS during 1-4AM on 28/09/2004.

Tungku_Submarine_Satation BTS was moved to BSC_5_HQ on 23/09/2004, and apply TRX pool on 28/09/2004. Since 28/09/2004, only 1 cell, TKU001_2, cannot get the CS3, CS4 or any MCS, no any alarm show at OMC. The problem was solved after push the data traffic to BCCH TRX (PS_PREF_BCCH_TRX =1, TRX1_PREF_MARK=1). However, this action on sector 2 is impact to sector1, since that time sector 1, TKU001_1, was sleeping and then no possible of data traffic on TKU001_1.

5 CONCLUSION
GPRS performance is improved with TRX class 2 in BSS B8 release. New coding scheme CS3 and CS4 give higher throughput compare to GPRS with TRX class 1 in BSS B7 release EGPRS performance is better with higher TRX class. TRX class 5 give highest download throughput compare to others TRX class. However in field test conditions, there is no big difference in term of download throughput between TRX class 4 and TRX class 5, due to maximum modulation coding scheme (MCS9) has no protection bit, so its high sensitive to radio interference. TRX class 4 is recommended to offer high throughput performance in commercial network. EGPRS radio access has many improvement of data throughput compare to GPRS radio access, because of new modulation coding scheme and the re-transmission mechanism. Non-frequency-hopping cell give better throughput compare to frequency hopping cell (BBH, RH/NH). The frequency hopping type and radio condition has high impact only on high modulation coding scheme, such as MCS8 & MCS9 in TRX class 4 and TRX class 5. The mobility of MS has impact to download throughput only in TRX class 4 and 5, which offer high-speed data transfer.

APPENDIX C: EDGE DESCRIPTION

Definitions
EGPRS (EDGE) is an enhancement of GPRS. The EGPRS concept has been established for the purpose of enabling the support of data transmission at a bit rate exceeding the capabilities of GPRS. Basically, EGPRS relies on new modulation and coding schemes on the air interface allowing for a data throughput optimized with respect to radio propagation condition (Link Adaptation). The basic principle of link adaptation is to change the Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCS) according to the radio conditions. When the radio conditions worsen, a more protected MCS (more redundancy) is chosen leading to a lower throughput. On the contrary, when the radio condition become better, a less protected MCS (less redundancy) is chosen leading to a higher throughput. Nine modulation and coding schemes are proposed for EGPRS, providing raw RLC data rates ranging from 8.8 kbps (minimum value per timeslot, under the worst radio propagation conditions) up to 59.2 kbps (maximum value achievable per timeslot under the best radio propagation conditions). Data rates above 17.6 kbps require 8PSK modulation be used on the air, instead of the regular GMSK. Scheme MCS9 MCS8 MCS7 MCS6 MCS5 MCS4 MCS3 MCS2 MCS1 Modulation 8-PSK 8-PSK 8-PSK 8-PSK 8-PSK GMSK GMSK GMSK GMSK Maximum rate (kbps) 59.2 54.4 44.8 29.6 22.4 17.6 14.8 11.2 8.8
Figure55: Maximum RLC throughput of Modulation Coding Scheme
The choice of the modulation and coding scheme is based on measurements of the Bit Error Probability (BEP). EGPRS requires new MSs, which support EDGE. TRX Class Concept Depending on the used (M)CS, from one and up to five 16 kbps channels is needed per PDCH between the BTS and the MFS (for example, the 59.2 kbps theoretical throughput per PDCH with MCS9 cannot be carried by a single 16 kbps channel on the Abis/Ater interfaces). Therefore, each TRX has a TRX class (from one to five), which defines the number of Abis/Ater GCH per radio TS or PDCH. One PDCH on a class n TRX uses n GCH (1 EGCH = n 16 kbps channels = n GCH) on the Abis and Ater interfaces. In each cell the operator defines the number of TRX of each TRX class.

Definition Type For a monoslot TBF alone on its PDCH, threshold defining the number of consecutive Packet Downlink Ack/Nack not received above which the coding scheme of a downlink acknowledged or unacknowledged TBF is Number changed to CS1 (only in downlink). For a multi-slot TBF or a TBF which shares its PDCH(s), the limit is proportional to the instantaneous bandwidth allocated to the TBF. Threshold defining the maximum number of consecutive times the network receives an invalid UL RLC data block or nothing from the MS having a Number monoslot GPRS TBF before changing the coding scheme to CS1. For a multislot GPRS TBF, TBF CS UL limit := TBF CS UL x n allocated For a monoslot TBF alone on its PDCH, threshold defining the number of consecutive EGPRS Packet Downlink Ack/Nack not received above which the coding scheme of a downlink acknowledged or Threshold unacknowledged TBF is changed to MCS1 (only in downlink). For a multi-slot TBF or a TBF which shares its PDCH, the limit is proportional to the allocated bandwidth at the TBF establisment. Threshold defining the maximum number of consecutive times the network receives an invalid UL RLC data block or nothing from the MS having a Threshold monoslot EGPRS TBF before changing the coding scheme to MCS1. For a multislot EGPRS TBF, TBF_MCS_UL_limit := TBF_MCS_UL x n allocated timeslots.
