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...
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. · ...
Proper frequency planning is essential in the development of a quality cellular system. Due to the limited amount of available RF spectrum, the scarcity of channels available to each operator, and the fact that most available frequencies are non-contiguous for most operators, frequencies must be reused throughout the system to increase network capacity. The frequencies are assigned such that there is minimal cochannel and adjacent channel interference between sites. Frequency reuse is based on hexagonal cell groupings called clusters. The size of the cluster will determine how the cluster is repeated throughout the network, i.e. the reuse pattern. The frequency reuse patterns are designated as N/F. Where N is the number of cell sites in a cluster and F is the number of frequency groups within a cluster. Ericsson uses 7/21 and 4/12 reuse patterns. The cluster patterns In a 7/21 plan, there are 7 cell sites (A, B, . . . , G) and 21 frequency groups (A1, A2, A3, . . . , G1, G2,...
