Chapter 4 Services and Functions
The BTS3606A complies with the following CDMA2000 1X specifications:
The Um interface supports TIA/EIA IS-2000 Rel.A and is compatible with TIA/EIA-95-A/B.
The minimum performance of the BTS3606A satisfies TIA/EIA-97-D requirements.
The BTS3606A complies with the following 1xEV-DO specifications:
The Um interface supports the C.S0024-0 standard. The minimum performance of the BTS3606A satisfies C.S0032-0 requirements.
This chapter introduces the major CDMA2000 1X and 1xEV-DO functions supported by the BTS3606A.
4.1 Power Control and Rate Control
The CDMA system is a self-interference system. Each subscriber is an interference source to other subscribers. If every MS transmits at the minimum power needed, the system capacity will reach the maximum. Therefore, power control directly determines system capacity and quality of service (QoS).
Operating in the CDMA2000 1X system, the BTS3606A adopts power control mechanism.
Power control is classified into:
Forward power control, used to control the transmit power of the BTS Reverse power control, used to control the transmit power of the MS
Operating in the 1xEV-DO system, the BTS3606A adopts:
Rate control in the forward direction Power control in the reverse direction
4.1.1 Forward Power Control
There are several methods to realize forward power control, depending on the MS's protocol version and system parameters.
I. Power Control Based on PMRM
In the power control based on power measurement report message (PMRM), the MS determines the method and frequency of reporting PMRM according to the received control message contained in the system parameter message.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF BTS3606A
HUAWEI CONFIDENTIAL 23
II. Power Control Based on EIB
In the power control based on erasure indicator bit (EIB), the MS detects forward frame quality and sends this information to the BTS in an EIB. The BTS adjusts the transmit power according to the EIB information.
III. Forward Fast Power Control
The MS uses power control bits to adjust the transmit power of the BTS. The power control bit can be transmitted at a maximum speed of 800 bit/s.
The CDMA2000 1X system supports high-speed data services, which put high requirements on forward power control. The forward fast power control can accurately control the transmit power of forward channels. As a result, the interference is minimized and capacity increased.
4.1.2 Reverse Power Control
Reverse power control includes open-loop power control and closed-loop power control. Closed-loop power control is further classified into inner-loop power control and outer-loop power control.
I. Open-Loop Power Control
The MS determines its transmit power to access the network according to the strength of the received pilot signal.
II. Closed-Loop Power Control
The BTS sends a power control command to the MS, and adjusts its transmit power according to the feedback from the MS.
Figure 4-1 shows the principle of closed-loop power control.
MS BTS BSCEb/Nt FER
Power Control Bit
Eb/Nt changingquantity
Inner loop Outer loop
Figure 4-1 Closed-loop power control
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF BTS3606A
HUAWEI CONFIDENTIAL 24
In the inner-loop power control, the BTS sends power control bits to the MS according to the received Eb/Nt value.
In the outer-loop power control, the BSC adjusts the Eb/Nt value according to:
The frame error rate (FER) of the reverse signal received in the CDMA2000 1X network
The packet error rate (PER) of the reverse signal received in the CDMA2000 1xEV-DO network
Then the BTS sends power control bits to the MS based on the new Eb/Nt value. In this way, the transmit power of the MS can be controlled accordingly.
4.1.3 Rate Control
Rate control applies to 1xEV-DO forward links only. The AT controls the rate of the forward traffic channel through data rate control (DRC) channel assignment.
4.2 Handoff
When the MS/AT moves out of the serving cell/sector or the signal quality deteriorates to an unacceptable level, the MS/AT will be handed off to another cell/sector to maintain the ongoing traffic.
If the system determines that a handoff will help to improve the call quality and network performance, it will also trigger a handoff procedure.
Different from the CDMA2000 1X, the 1xEV-DO also introduces virtual soft handoff function in forward traffic links. The following describes five types of handoffs.
4.2.1 Soft Handoff
Soft handoff occurs between neighbor cells that operate on the same frequency and belong to different BTSs. The two BTSs can belong to the same BSC, or two different BSCs connected to each other through the A3/A7 interface.
In the soft handoff procedure, the MS maintains the connection with the previous cell till it establishes the communication with the new cell. The MS can establish radio links with multiple cells, select and combine the data received from these links to improve conversation quality and reduce call drops.
4.2.2 Softer Handoff
Softer handoff occurs between neighbor sectors that operate on the same frequency and belong to the same BTS. It is a special case of soft handoff.
As the MS establishes radio links with multiple sectors under the same BTS, the BTS can combine the diversity signals received by these sectors. Therefore, the speech quality during softer handoff is better than that during soft handoff.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF BTS3606A
HUAWEI CONFIDENTIAL 25
4.2.3 Virtual Soft Handoff
Virtual soft handoff is applicable to 1xEV-DO forward traffic links only.
The AT monitors all pilot signals in the active set and chooses the sector with best signals as its serving sector. Then, it receives signaling messages and data from the selected sector. This process is called virtual software handoff.
The BTS determines whether the sector is selected according to the DRC cover.
4.2.4 Hard Handoff
In the hard handoff procedure, the MS first terminates the connection with the previous cell, and then sets up a connection with the new cell. Therefore, call drops may occur.
Hard handoff includes:
Intra-frequency hard handoff: Handoff between the BSCs without A3/A7 interface in-between.
Inter-frequency hard handoff: Handoff between cells operating on different frequencies.
4.2.5 Handoff Between CDMA2000 1xEV-DO and CDMA2000 1X Systems
The system supports the handoff by the 1xEV-DO/CDMA2000 1X dual-mode terminal between the CDMA2000 1xEV-DO and CDMA2000 1X systems, thus realizing interworking of both systems.
The dual-mode terminal performs registration, authentication, and signaling and data exchange in the two systems through the 1xEV-DO or CDMA2000 1X interface respectively.
4.3 Radio Configuration
The CDMA2000 1X physical layer supports multiple radio configurations (RCs). Different RCs support the frames of different rate sets, and feature different channel configurations and spread spectrum structures.
The transmission combinations supported by the BTS3606A include:
Forward RC1 and reverse RC1 Forward RC2 and reverse RC2 Forward RC3 or RC4, and reverse RC3 Forward RC5 and reverse RC4
Each RC supports traffic channels of different data rates. The bearer capability of the CDMA2000 1X system varies with RCs. For example, the CDMA2000 1X system with RC1 and RC2 is compatible with IS-95A/B.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF BTS3606A
HUAWEI CONFIDENTIAL 26
4.4 Channel Configuration
A series of physical channels are defined on the Um interface. These physical channels are classified based on channel features. To support higher-rate data transmission, the 1xEV-DO uses a channel design different from that of the CDMA2000 1X.
4.4.1 CDMA2000 1X Channels
The following lists CDMA2000 1X channels.
I. Forward Channels
CDMA2000 1X forward channels include forward common channels and forward dedicated channels.
Forward common channels are further divided into:
Forward pilot channel (F-PICH)
F-PICH provides synchronization signals to the MSs operating in the BTS coverage. Different from other channels, the F-PICH is an unmodulated spread spectrum signal that is always in the transmit state.
Forward synchronization channel (F-SYNCH)
F-SYNCH provides initial time synchronization information to MSs operating in the BTS coverage.
Forward paging channel (F-PCH)
F-PCH sends overhead messages and MS-specific messages to MSs operating in the BTS coverage. Each CDMA channel in a sector supports seven paging channels at most.
Forward quick paging channel (F-QPCH)
F-QPCH sends the paging order and system configuration change order to slotted-mode MSs, instructing them to receive the paging messages. As a result, the MS battery energy is saved.
Forward common control channel (F-CCCH)
F-CCCH sends overhead messages and MS-specific messages to the MS.
Forward dedicated channels are further divided into:
Forward dedicated control channel (F-DCCH)
F-DCCH carries traffic information and signaling messages between the MS and BTS.
Forward fundamental channel (F-FCH)
F-FCH carries traffic information between the MS and BTS.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF BTS3606A
HUAWEI CONFIDENTIAL 27
Forward supplemental channel (F-SCH)
F-SCH carries traffic information between the MS and BTS. It is applicable to RC3, RC4, and RC5 only.
II. Reverse Channels
CDMA2000 1X reverse channels include reverse common channels and reverse dedicated channels.
Reverse common channels are further divided into:
Reverse access channel (R-ACH)
The MS communicates with the BTS and responds to paging channel messages through the R-ACH.
The MS uses random access protocol to initiate an access procedure. With respect to each supported paging channel, 32 access channels can be supported at most.
Reverse enhanced access channel (R-EACH)
The MS initiates the communication with the BTS or responds to dedicated paging channel messages through the R-EACH.
Reverse dedicated channels are further divided into:
Reverse fundamental channel (R-FCH)
R-FCH carries traffic information between the MS and the BTS.
Reverse dedicated control channel (R-DCCH)
R-DCCH carries traffic information and signaling messages between the MS and the BTS.
Reverse supplemental channel (R-SCH)
R-SCH carries traffic information between the MS and the BTS. It is applicable to RC3 and RC4 only.
4.4.2 CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Channels
The following lists CDMA2000 1xEV-DO channels.
I. Forward Channels
The CDMA2000 1xEV-DO forward channels adopt the TDM mode. It includes four types of channels:
Pilot channel
Signals transmitted on the pilot channel are unmodulated signals. They are used for AT synchronization and other associated functions.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF BTS3606A
HUAWEI CONFIDENTIAL 28
Different from the continuous pilot of IS-95/1X system, pilot channel signals are only transmitted on the activated forward channels in a CDMA2000 1xEV-DO system.
Media access control (MAC) channel
There are three code division sub-channels in the MAC channel:
–Reverse activity (RA) sub-channel, used for reverse overload control on the Um interface.
–Reverse power control (RPC) sub-channel, used for reverse power control.
–Data rate control lock (DRCLock) sub-channel, used by the AN to inform the AT whether the DRC channel of the AT can be properly demodulated. It plays an important role in helping the AT with the forward virtual handoff.
Control channel
The control channel is similar to the paging channel in a CDMA2000 1X system. It broadcasts various overhead messages and transmits other uni-cast messages such as paging messages.
Traffic channel
The traffic channel carries traffic data. It is a TDM channel serving multiple subscribers.
II. Reverse Channels
The 1xEV-DO reverse channels include reverse access channels and reverse traffic channels.
Reverse access channel
The AT originates calls or responds to network paging messages through the reverse access channel. The reverse access channel covers pilot sub-channel (transmitted on I channel) and data sub-channel (transmitted on Q channel).
Reverse traffic channel
The reverse traffic channel covers pilot channel, MAC channel, acknowledgement (ACK) channel, and data channel.
–Pilot channel
The pilot channel helps the coherence demodulation and phase estimation of the BTS3606A.
–MAC channel
The MAC channel consists of reverse rate indicator (RRI) sub-channel and DRC sub-channel.
The AT uses the DRC sub-channel to report the quality of the forward channel to the AN. The AN can adjust the rate and the sector for transmitting data to the AT
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF BTS3606A
HUAWEI CONFIDENTIAL 29
according to DRC channel messages. In this way, the air resources can be best utilized.
The RRI sub-channel indicates the data channel the rate for transmitting data.
–ACK channel
The ACK channel helps the AT notify the AN whether the data packets from forward traffic channel are correctly received. This function helps the AT adjust its forward rate estimation to improve system performance.
–Data channel
The data channel carries reverse data. In a 1xEV-DO system, it can transmit data at five rates: 9.6 kbit/s, 19.2 kbit/s, 38.4 kbit/s, 76.8 kbit/s, and 153.6 kbit/s.
4.5 DO+ Features
The DO+ features include the BCMCS and enhanced proprietary QoS.
4.5.1 BCMCS
The BCMCS includes static arming broadcast stream and dynamic arming broadcast stream.
Static arming broadcast stream
You must configure BCMCS broadcast links on the BTS3606A. On the configuration console, you configure a permanent virtual channel (PVC) link shared by subscribers to realize the broadcast.
Dynamic arming broadcast stream
The BSC dynamically assigns a physical channel shared by subscribers to realize the broadcast.
The DO+ features support the broadcast of intra-BTS BCMCS stream. Each broadcast stream establishes a microchannel of terrestrial links.
4.5.2 Enhanced Proprietary QoS
The enhanced QoS features include the following:
DO dedicated line subscribers Inter-DO subscriber QoS IX dedicated line subscribers
4.6 1X Rel A Features
The 1X Rel A supports cell broadcast short messages and forward power control.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF BTS3606A
HUAWEI CONFIDENTIAL 30
4.6.1 Forward Power Control
The BTS3606A extracts forward frame quality bits on the reverse power control sub-channel reported by the AT and forwards them to the BSC. The BSC implements fast power control according to the information.
4.6.2 Cell Broadcast Short Message
The BTS3606A transmits broadcast short messages on the paging channel in multi-timeslots or periodic modes.
4.7 Multi-Channel Function
The BTS3606A supports the simultaneous compatibility with single-channel transceiver module and multi-channel transceiver module. A multi-channel cabinet can hold both the single-channel transceiver module and multi-channel transceiver module.
A single-channel transceiver unit (consisting of one CTRM and one CHPA, one CTRM and one CMTR, or one CMTR and one CHPA) can process one carrier signal. A multi-channel transceiver module (consisting of one CMTR and one CMPA) can process three carrier signals. Therefore, multi-channel transceiver units can realize the maximum configuration of S(6/6/6), that is, 18 sector carriers.
The cabinet supports 450 MHz, 800 MHz, and 1900 MHz bands.
4.8 Receiving Diversity
The BTS3606A supports the receiving diversity function. This function is implemented through two sets of independent receiving equipment, each of which comprises the antenna, feeder, CDDU, and main/diversity receiving channels.
The two sets of receiving equipment demodulate the received signals at the same time. Then the baseband processing unit decodes the signals with diversity combining algorithm to provide certain diversity gain.
Receiving diversity enhances the anti-attenuation capability of the BTS receiver, and ensures the receiving effect of the BTS under complicated radio environment.
4.9 Cell Breathing
Under the control of the BSC, the BTS3606A adjusts its transmit power to control the coverage area, thus balancing the system load.
For neighbor cells, the cell with heavier load reduces the transmit power on the pilot channel so that MSs at the edge of the cell can be handed off to the neighbor cell. In this way, load sharing can be realized. That is, the system capacity is increased.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF BTS3606A
HUAWEI CONFIDENTIAL 31
The controllable range of the transmit power for cell breathing function is from 0 dB to 24 dB, with a control step of 0.5 dB.

5.1.8 Maintainability Design
Reasonable internal wiring of the BTS3606A enables easy board replacement. To replace a faulty board, you only need to remove the cables of this board.
The board can be removed and inserted directly from the front of the cabinet.
In addition, board indicators are provided to help identify board status.
5.1.9 Fault Monitoring and Handling
The BTS3606A system can detect and diagnose software and hardware faults. It can record, output, and print fault information. In addition, it collects environment information and generates alarms if there is any exception.
When faults occur to the hardware, the system first locates the fault, then isolates the faulty component and automatically activates the standby components to ensure normal operation.
The system confirms a hardware fault through repeated detection, thus avoiding the reconfiguration of the system or the degradation of QoS due to contingent faults.
For software faults, the system provides automatic error-correction and recovery functions, including restarting and reloading.
