telephones.

Step 1 When the paged MS is located in the serving area of MSC, MSC sends a Paging message to
BSC, which contains a paged cell list, TMSI and IMSI.
Step 2 BSC sends a Paging Command message to the paged cells, which contains the relevant paging
subchannel Nos. and the occupied timeslot Nos.

8-3
Step 3 Upon receipt of the Paging Command message from BSC, BTS sends a Paging Request
message on the paging subchannel (PCH subchannel) that belongs to the paging group. This
message contains the IMSI or TMSI of the paged MS.
Step 4 MS sends a Channel Request message on RACH if it finds itself paged after decoding the
paging message.
Step 5 For other messages, please refer to Chapter 6 Mobile Originating Call Establishment
Procedure.

Procedure Explanation
Step 1 Paging signaling procedure
In Figure 8-1, 1~11 refer to the paging signaling procedure, in which, BSS initiates paging,
and allocates signaling channels to MS.
Step 2 Classification of assignment procedure
As per assignment type, the assignment procedure can be classified into 3 types, early
assignment, late assignment and very early assignment. Except the late assignment procedure,
in which, the Assignment Request message is deliver after MSC receives a Connect message
from MS, the other procedures are basically the same as the mobile originating call
establishment procedure. For details, please refer to Chapter 6 Mobile Originating Call
Establishment Procedure.

Upon paging failure, the MSC prompts voice information to the calling party, indicating that
the called MS is outside the serving area or cannot be connected. In this case, trace the
signaling on interfaces A and Abis to check whether the paging failure is caused by:
z
Check whether the system load suddenly increases due to centralized transmission of
short messages or mass access bursts
Query the traffic statistics about Number of immediate assignment requests and
Number of CS service paging requests in the BSC overall performance measurement.
Compare the query results before and after the failu re in paging the called MS and check
whether the flow control function is enabled.

Check whether the CGI information in BSC data configuration is consistent with the
LAC information in the PAGING message over interface A
Log in to the BSC Data Management System. Click [BSC/Cell/Cell Module Information
Table] to check whether the parameters in the table are correctly set.
Additionally, if a RA- or cell-related parameter is not correctly set in the MSC, for
example, a wrong target BSC is selected, the PAGING COMMAND message cannot be
successfully sent over interface Abis.
Check whether the settings for the BSC parameters that will affect paging groups are
correct
Check whether the following parameters in the [System information table] are correctly
set: BS_AG_BLKS_RES, CCCH-CONF and BS_PA_MFRMS.
8-6
Insert a different (normal) SIM into the called MS to check whether the original SIM in
the MS is functional
Insert the SIM in the called MS into an MS from a different manufacturer to check
whether the MS is normal
Issue 01 (2007-03-15)
Check the settings for the parameters that will affect paging groups
Check whether the following parameters in the [System information table] are correctly
configured: BS_AG_BLKS_RES, CCCH-CONF, BS_PA_MFRMS,
Tx-integer and MS MAX retrans.
Check the setting for location updating period in BSC and that in MSC
Check the [System information table] for the configuration of T3212.
The value of "T3212" in the MSC must be greater than that in the BSC.
Refer to Chapter 4 Location Update Procedure.
