Channel Assignment Algorithm

HW I Channel Allocation algorithm

uses the sequent selection mode to allocate channels

The advantage is terse and high efficiency
It is not able to allocate CH according to TRX priority,
interference, etc.
HW II Channel Allocation algorithm

allocates channels by optimum

Always choose the best one but lower efficiency

HW II channel allocation Algorithm

HW II channel allocation is based on interference, TRX priority

and performance record in history

Interference: extracted from MR
TRX priority: configured in OMC
Performance record in history: realized by BSC
automatically

Parameter introduction
Update Period of CH Record

Range:1~1,440
Unit: minute
Default: 30
Description: In HW_II channel management algorithm, every time the duration (set
by this parameter) expires, the history record of every channel will be refreshed
through subtracting the value of Update Freq. of CH record ". Thus the channel
priority is raised. This parameter together with the "Update Freq. of CH record "
works to prevent a channel from being allocated again, which has been
deteriorated for a period.
Update Freq. Of CH record

Range:0~63
Default:2
Description: The history record priority higher than the value of this parameter will
be refreshed through subtracting the value of this parameter. See the description
of Update Period of CH record

Description: The priority of TRX (valid in HW_II channel

allocation algorithm only.).

Parameter introduction
Support dynamic conversion between TCH/F and TCH/H. Channels initially configured as

TCH/H can not be converted.

TCH Rate adjust allowed

Range: Yes, No

Default: No.

Description: It is used to decide whether full rate TCH can be converted into half-rate TCH.
Yes means the conversion is feasible, while No means not. For the latter case, the halfrate TCH converted will change back to the full rate TCH

Idle Thrsh. For TCH/F priority

Range: 0~255

Unit: Channel number

Default:2

Description: Parameter is used to judge which type of channel is to be allocated. If

channel number of idle full rate TCH is greater than this threshold, then idle full rate TCH
is allocated first for better voice quality. otherwise, half rate TCH is allocated first.

Parameter introduction
TCH Rate adjust Traffic Thrsh (%)

Range:0~100
Unit:%
Default:80
Description: It is one of the terms for the full rate TCH to
convert into the half-rate TCH. Only if the traffic (number of
currently occupied channels / number of available channels
in a cell) is greater than the threshold, and TCH Rate
Conversion" is set as Yes", can the full rate TCH convert
into the half rate TCH to expand system capacity.

Parameter introduction
MIN Recovery Time of TCH/H

Range:0~65535
Unit: second
Default:600
Description: The minimum interval that half-rate TCH recovers into full rate TCH.
TCH/F Forbid TCH Rate Adjust

Range:0255
Default:1
Description: The value of the parameter is one condition for the adjustment from
full rate TCH to half rate TCH. When the number of available half rate TCH in the
cell is more than the value, system adjust full rate TCH as half rate TCH to
enlarge the capacity.

Parameter introduction
Idle SD Thrsh.N1

Range:0~63
Default:2
Description: When the number of idle SDCCH channels is less than or
equal to the Idle SD Thrsh., the system will try to find available TCHs
and convert them to SDCCH channels.
Note:The conditions to Initiate the TCH-to-SDCCH conversion flow:
The number of idle SDCCH channels+8 is less than or equal to Idle
SD Thrsh..
The number of current idle full rate TCH channels is more than 4 or
more than the number of TRXs.
The number of current SDCCH channels is less than Cell SD
maximum.

Parameter introduction
Cell SD Maximum
Range:0~255
Default: Configured SDCCHs + 8
Description: The maximum number of SDCCHs in the cell.
Note

The processing flow of recovering SDCCH to TCH is as follows: a timer

Count is set for each cell. Every time a TCH is converted into an SDCCH,
the Count is set to ResTime. Count is adjusted every 3 seconds. If the
current idle SDCCH channels > 8 +Idle TCH Thrsh., then: the Count
minus 3. If the current idle SDCCH channels < 8 + Idle TCH Thrsh., then
plus 12 to Count, but the Count must not exceed ResTime. If the current
idle SDCCH channels = 8 + Idle TCH Thrsh., then Count remains
unchanged. After the adjustment, if Count 0, then one TCH channel will
be recovered.

Parameter introduction
Due to TRX hardware processing capability restriction, at most 2 time
slots can be configured as SDCCH channels for each TRX. To initiate the
TCH-to-SDCCH conversion, if the selected TCH is occupied, the
connection will be handed over to other idle TCH channel in this cell.
During dynamic SDCCH channel allocation, each time only one TCH is
converted into SDCCH. So does the SDCCH-to-TCH conversion.
During the TCH-to-SDCCH conversion, TCH channels on TRX in where
BCCH is located should not be selected
