QChat in UTRAN
QChat overview
QChat is an enhanced VoIP based communication service, which uses the W-CDMA
access network to communicate between two or more mobile stations. QChat requires
Quality of Service (QoS) support to manage the signalling and voice data traffic at the
various network components. QChat facilitates the users to communicate within virtual
groups, where the voice of a user is broadcast to number of listeners.
To use the QChat service, a QChat enabled UE is needed along with the support of QChat
in service provider's network. The UE (handset) should have the PTT (Push-to-Talk)
facility to initiate the QChat communication. A QChat call is initiated by pressing the
PTT button. Once the call is setup, the user can broadcast the voice to various other
QChat users.
An optimal Radio Bearer service is introduced to enhance the QChat service in W-CDMA
access network. This Radio Bearer service optimizes the network load and enables the UE
to switch from dormant state (CELL_PCH or URA_PCH) to active state (CELL_DCH).
QChat Operation
The QChat technology comprises of:
QChat Clients (running on the UE): The QChat Clients enable the users to initiate
and receive QChat voice calls.
QChat Application Server (QAS): The QAS manages all the operations required for
the QChat call setup and keeps a record of the QChat associated data.
QChat service can be activated only when the RNC and NodeB support the QChat
application for packet data service. This activity of enabling the QChat service on the
RNC and NodeB is done by the operator. QChat service requires a high speed data access,
so the users who opted for high QoS can utilize this facility.
RNC and NodeB identify the QChat supported UE from the QoS parameter called
Allocation/Retention Priority (ARP), configured for the UE, in the core network. This
parameter defines the priority level assigned for the QChat traffic in UTRAN sub-system.
The call originator presses the PTT button available on the UE to initiate a floor request
with the QAS (QChat Application Server).
Once the floor is granted to the call originator, the call originator can broadcast the voice
to the number of listeners. Eventually, If a listener wants to respond, the listener can press
the PTT button on the UE to get the floor. Once the floor is granted, the listener can
broadcast the voice.

QChat enabled mobile equipment state
When the UE (QChat enabled) is switched on, it is connected to the network but is in idle
state. When the user initiates a call or a session, the UE switches to Cell_DCH state,
where a dedicated channel is allocated to the UE. During packet data transfer, there are
idle periods between the bursts of data traffic. When this idle period increases and crosses
the inactivity timer value, the UE moves to URA_PCH state, where it is still connected to
the network but no dedicated channels assigned to it. Sometimes, the UE moves to
Cell_FACH state, where it has no dedicated air interface but the communication can
happen through common channels.
Note: A QChat call can be initiated only when the UE is in Cell_PCH/URA_PCH
state.
Limitations
The limitations of the QChat service are as follows:
QChat is a delay sensitive service, as the delay occurs due to unavailability of
dedicated physical channel during network congestion.
QChat is a half duplex service. Unlike the full duplex service, where two separate
channels are provided to make or receive a call, half duplex service has only single
channel to make or receive a call. This limitation allows only a single QChat user to
transfer the voice data, at a time.

QChat call
The following figure shows an end-to-end QChat call connection with one QChat
originator and one QChat receiver.
When the QChat originator initiates a QChat call, the QChat UEs operate in one of the
following states: CELL_DCH, CELL_FACH, URA_PCH, or CELL_PCH. For more
information, seeQChat in UTRAN (p. 2-2)

Qchat call setup Initiating a QChat call
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The end-to-end signaling for the QChat call setup (URA_PCH or CELL_PCH state)
includes the following steps:
1. When the QChat originator presses the PTT button to initiate a QChat call, the UE in
URA_PCH or CELL_PCH state transitions to CELL_FACH state
2. The QChat UE (source) transmits the CellUpdate message to the source UTRAN
through RACH, and requests the source UTRAN to transition the UE to the
CELL_DCH state.
3. The source UTRAN transmits the CellUpdateConfirm message with
Post-verification period = TRUE, RRC state Indicator = CELL_DCH, the QChat
UE (source) performs the synchronization procedure using post verification period
and transitions to CELL_DCH state.
4. The QChat UE (source) transmits the CellUpdateConfirmResponse message to the
source UTRAN on the E-DCH to indicate the reconfiguration of the RBs.
5. Subsequently, the UE transmits the Call Request message on QChat RB#2 (mapped
with E-DCH) to the source UTRAN.
Note: CellUpdateConfimResponse is used to refer any of the following RRC
messages: RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE, TRANSPORT
CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE, or PHYSICAL CHANNEL
RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE that the QChat UE sends to the UTRAN ,based
on the IEs included in the CellUpdateConfirm message.
6. The source UTRAN forwards the Call Request message (received from the QChat
UE) over the Iub and QChat RAB#2 to the SGSN/GGSN. This activity occurs even if
the completion of dedicated physical channel setup at the UTRAN is in progress.
7. The SGSN/GGSN forwards the Call Request message to the QAS.
8. The QAS generates the Announce Call message, and transmits it through the core
network to the target UTRAN, serving the QChat UE (target).
9. The target UTRAN pages the QChat UE by sending PagingType1 message over the
PCH at the nearest paging DRX cycle.
10. The QChat UE demodulates the page and transitions to the CELL_FACH state to
respond to the page.
11. The QChat UE (target) transmits the CellUpdate message with Cell update cause
Paging Response to target UTRAN
12. The target UTRAN identifies that the paging is due to the DL data activity on QChat
RB#2 and transitions the UE directly into the CELL_DCH state through the
CellUpdateConfirm message.
Note: In CellUpdateConfirm message, Post-verification period = TRUE, RRC
state Indicator = CELL_DCH. Here, the QChat UE (target) performs the
synchronization procedure using post verification period and transitions to
CELL_DCH state.
13. The QChat UE (target) transmits the CellUpdateConfirmResponse message to the
target UTRAN.

14. The target UTRAN transmits the Announce Call message on the HS-DSCH to QChat
UE (target).
15. The QChat UE (target) transmits the Accept Call message on the E-DCH to the target
UTRAN.
16. The target UTRAN forwards the Accept Call message to the QAS.
17. Once the Accept Call message is received from the target UTRAN, the QAS
generates the floor for the QChat UE (source) and forwards the Floor Grant message
to source SGSN/GGSN.
18. The SGSN/GGSN forwards the Floor Grant message to the QChat UE (source)
through source UTRAN.
19. A tone is played on the QChat UE (source) indicating that the QChat call is
established.

Prerequisites
Purpose
This topic provides the prerequisites for activating QChat in UTRAN.
Overview
Always ON
The Iu-PS signaling connection, QChat RAB#2, and, QChat RB#2 must be in Always
ON state, even after the QChat call termination. During QChat call termination, the
dedicated physical channel allocated to the QChat originator is released. This state is
called as data inactivity state. In order to achieve an efficient QChat service, it is required
to have Iu-PS signaling connection, QChat RAB#2, and, QChat RB#2 in Always ON
state during data inactivity state so as to accommodate other QChat sessions. This enables
the PS core network and UTRAN to continuously support the QChat service and avoids
the re-activation of QChat for every consecutive call.
RRC Connected mode
The Iu-PS signaling connection, QChat RAB#2, and, QChat RB#2 for QChat UEs must
always be in RRC Connected mode from the UTRAN end.
Note: Even without RRC Connected mode, the Iu-PS signaling connection can be
maintained from UTRAN but to provide an efficient QChat service, it is always
required to make the dedicated physical channel resources available for the QChat
users. To achieve this physical channel availability, the RRC Connected mode is
recommended.
User Equipment
User Equipment for test must be QChat enabled with a PTT button to initiate the QChat
call.

QChat activation procedures Activating QChat under WMS
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Input parameters
All Design parameters regarding the QChat service need to be provided to the Application
Engineer by the Network Designers, i.e.
RNC(s) and NodeBs on which the QChat has to be activated
The QAS to be enabled
Note: It is recommended to keep the initial values in case reverse steps are required.
Initial status
The WMS runs the actual (initial) configuration.
The activation performed directly at the WMS Graphical interface requires the WMS to
be configured with the operator's network. If the conditions for the WMS configuration
with operator's network are not fulfilled, then the activation cannot be properly done
under WMS.

Final status
The local folder contains the workorder (CM XML) file named <filename>-<sub-
network name>.xwo, which describes only the modified NE between the initial and the
final network configuration. Later, this file is used for the activation of those procedures.
So, this file must be transferred to a WMS repository.
If the reverse procedure needs to be applied, the file used is the one named
<filename>-<sub-network name>_reverse.xwo..
Troubleshooting
In case of trouble during generation of workorder file redo this procedure.

Input parameters
The workorder file <filename>-<sub-network name>.xwo generated by WPS Access is
in the result main server directory.
When you performed the Exporting workorders online (p. 7-18) / Exporting
workorders offline (p. 7-20)
on live server repository, the <filename>-<sub-network name>.xwo is already in the
result main server directory.
on local file system, you must transfer the <filename>-<sub-network name>.xwo to
the result main server directory.
Initial status
The Network and the OMC are up and running without any problems (alarm, OMC MIB
state, synchronization state, etc.).
All the workorder files (<filename>-<sub-network name>.xwo and <filename>-<sub-
network name>_reverse.xwo) generated by WPS Access have been transferred to a
/<Result_folder>/ main server directory as described in Alcatel-Lucent 9353 Wireless
Management System - Configuration Management, NN-20500-169.
Duration
Procedure duration: about 5 minutes for 3 FDD cells.
Impact on service
During activation, impacted FDD cells are locked then unlocked.
Reminder: The load per cell (increased noise level) decreases the capacity of
communication for the mobiles.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Input parameters
The workorder file <filename>-<sub-network name>_reverse.xwo generated by WPS
Access is in the result main server directory.
When you performed the Exporting workorders online (p. 7-18) / Exporting
workorders offline (p. 7-20)
on live server repository, the <filename>-<sub-network name>_reverse.xwo is
already in the result main server directory.
on local file system, you must transfer the <filename>-<sub-network
name>_reverse.xwo to the result main server directory.
Initial status
The QChat service is configured under WMS and is activated in UTRAN.
The fallback performed directly at the WMS Graphical interface requires the WMS to be
configured with the operator's network. If the conditions for the WMS configuration with
operator's network are not fulfilled, then the fallback cannot be properly done under
WMS.
Step duration
It takes a few seconds per "Set On-line" command.
Impact on service
