Active Queue Management (AQM):

-



Active Queue Management (AQM) is a queue management feature for the downlink. For applications using TCP/IP as transmission (e.g. FTP, web browsing, email), it is important with a rapid feedback of the radio link data rate to the TCP/IP protocol. Feedback of the radio link data rate is reported to TCP/IP by discarding IP-packets. In this way the TCP/IP protocol will faster adjust its send rate according to the radio link capacity and TCP slow-starts are avoided. If the feature “QoS and Scheduling” in BSC is active (R97 QoS and/or R99 QoS), the queue management feature is applied to Interactive class and Background class data. The queue management feature is not applied to signalling messages, SMS, LLC acknowledged mode data, EIT data or Streaming class data when QoS is active. For SMS, signalling messages, LLC acknowledged mode data, EIT data and Streaming class data a maximum buffer is set and when the buffer is overflowed packets are discarded starting from front of the buffer.

If the feature “QoS and Scheduling” in BSC is passive, the queue management feature is applied to all payload data but not to signalling messages, SMS or LLC acknowledged mode data. For LLC acknowledged mode data and data not handled by AQM a maximum buffer is set and when the buffer is overflowed packets are discarded starting from front of the buffer.

SCFT - Single Cell Function test

-
Single Cell Function test SCFT is for verifying whether individual BTS works well or not, by making a single cell function test of BTS hardware and software. Essential items to be tested are as follows: 1) BTS Transmitter Output Measurement Test 2) Initial parameter establishment (Pilot PN/System ID/Site ID/Frequency, Neighbor List) 3) Call Origination and Termination Test 4) Softer Handoff Test/Antenna installation check (Direction, Tilt, Transmission Line) 5) Single Cell Coverage Test 6) Noise Floor Test 7) Parameter check.

Troubleshooting for GSM KPIs (SD Block & SD Drop)

-
KPIs to be monitored: ·             SD Blocking ·             SD Drop SDCCH Channel: ·    SDCCH channel is a dedicated channel which is using for LAC updation, Call Setup, SMS in Ideal mode. It works in UL & DL SD Blocking: ·    SD Blocking means that you are not getting SD resource for the call origination. When MS connects with Network then RACH and AGCH are provided. After AGCH, SDCCH is provided but if SDCCH is not provided at this time due to some problem or due to unavailable of SD by BSC. KPI Formula in Ericsson: ·             SDCCH CONGESTION = (CCONGS / CCALLS) * 100 ·             CCONGS - Congestion counter. ·  ...

PS core network

Image
The PS core network consists of two parts, the traditional General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) core network and the new Evolved Packet System (EPS) core network. The PS core network connects mobile subscribers to Packet Data Networks (PDNs) such as the Internet, corporate networks or operator services networks.  a functional overview of the PS core network. Logical entities and interfaces are shown in black and form a 2G/3G network, while the blue boxes and lines in Figure  show the LTE/EPC related parts. The LTE/EPC network can be regarded as an extension and evolution of existing 2G/3G networks. From a node implementation perspective, there is no strict border between the two networks. The corresponding logical entities of GPRS and EPS networks can be deployed concurrently in Ericsson PS core nodes, such as the SGSN-MME and EPG; these are marked in red. In addition, Ericsson GPRS nodes can be upgraded with EPC functionality by software only. Network evolution i...
