Automatic IRC Tuning - Interference Rejection Combining


Automatic IRC Tuning is used instead of Automatic FLP by operators that wants to maximize IRC (and SAIC) performance but do not use FLP. As with Automatic FLP, the feature performs daily downlink interference matrix measurements and creates synchronization clusters for synchronization status monitoring. TSC and FSOFFSET parameters are continuously supervised and automatically adjusted to network changes when needed.

By using Automatic IRC Tuning an operator will get the following benefits:
>Automatic configuration of IRC (Interference Rejection Combining) related parameters:
- TSC for hopping channel groups.
- FSOFFSET for neighbor cells that are GPS synchronized. By this co-TSC interference can be suppressed.
> Maximum gain from IRC and SAIC.
> Possibility to monitor synchronization status for Synchronized Radio Network cells.

Automatic IRC Tuning is allowed to be activated in the same BSC as Automatic FLP. When both features are active in the same cell it will behave as Automatic FLP.
