997ad2510cb826711e63f644e1d2617f | 23.873 | 7.8 QoS Considerations | The removal of one GPRS specific node from the data path by the One Tunnel Approach improves the packet bearer QoS by reducing the packet transfer delay.
If two tunnels are established then the SGSN has to perform the following functions:
- IP/UDP termination
- GTP termination,
- look up for the corresponding PDP context,
- charging, possibly CAMEL,
- possibly interception,
- queueing and handling for QoS,
- GTP encapsulation,
- UDP/IP handling.
This has to be done for each packet. Implementations may perform charging, interception and CAMEL functionality somehow in parallel. All transport stack related functions have to be performed sequential. The overall delay is reduced by the delay induced by these functions.
Compared to the R99 approach the one tunnel approach the GGSN has to perform additionally only the CAMEL prepaid functionality. For charging purposes, a R99 GGSN counts transferred octets, which can be utilised for CAMEL prepaid. Interception is already a national option. As stated above such functions may be performed in parallel to the transport functionality. Therefore, with regard to the removal of SGSN functionality no additional transport functionality is introduced into the GGSN and therefore also no additional delay. Potential delay caused by processing capacity required for CAMEL or interception depends strongly on the implementation and can therefore not be estimated here.
All together the overall delay is at least reduced by the time needed to perform all transport stack functionality in the SGSN. The reduction is strongly dependent on the implementation and therefore cannot be estimated here. |

997ad2510cb826711e63f644e1d2617f | 23.873 | 7.11 RAN Considerations (e.g. GERAN) | The One Tunnel Approach is applicable for any RAN with separated transport and control at the interface to the core network, i.e. for UTRAN and the Iu enabled part of the GERAN. The One Tunnel Approach has no impact on the RAN. |

997ad2510cb826711e63f644e1d2617f | 23.873 | 7.14 Benefits and Drawbacks | The benefits and drawbacks are compared to the R’99 architecture, unless otherwise specified.
Benefits:
- Removes the SGSN from the user data path when this is possible (NB, it is expected to apply for most of the cases). The delay that the packets experience in the UMTS network is then decreased by bypassing the SGSN and by using optimal IP routing between the RNC and the GGSN.
- No SGSN capacity upgrades needed when traffic per user increases, dependent on the proportion of the PDP contexts activated with one user plane tunnel (NB, it is expected to apply for most of the cases).
- Charging dependent on PLMN internal or external traffic possible for CAMEL prepaid
- Can be achieved by software upgrade alone
Drawbacks:
- Not always applicable, i.e. not in case of 2G radio and when GGSN is not in the visited PLMN and also not in case of interworking with R97-R99 SGSNs and GGSNs
- The national option of legal interception on GGSN is mandatory in this approach
- Some additional control plane functionality embedded in the SGSN and GGSN, and this means increased standardisation and implementation (the changes are due to CAMEL prepaid, location information and in case of the GGSN the network initiated service request, and the SGSN and GGSN also need updates to support the other procedures listed under the ‘Increased signalling’ bullet).
- More vendor interoperability testing for RNC to GGSN interface is required.
- Increases signalling (location information, prepaid budget, CAMEL volume collection, PDP context activation, PDP context modification, Iu Release, Service Request, intersystem change, suspend and resume)
- Enhancements to GTP-C are needed
- As the GGSN has a direct interface with the SRNC, at intra cSGSN SRNS relocation, the GGSN is impacted (need to be given the new RNC address), which is not the case of the current architecture. The additional GGSN update traffic depends on the degree of user mobility and on the RNC size (if RNC area equal to SGSN area the update traffic does not change)
- The cSGSN node still has to contain the whole R99 SGSN functionality, including transport, to support the traffic cases that require two user plane tunnels and in addition the new functionality to handle the one tunnel case. This increases the complexity of the node compared to a R99 SGSN.
- Increases the time needed for signalling for some CAMEL based services, because there are more entities in the signalling path (i.e. xGGSN – cSGSN– SCP).
- Intersystem changes reduce the R99 advantages of co-locating 2G and 3G SGSNs. |
997ad2510cb826711e63f644e1d2617f | 23.873 | 7.15 Open Issues | - The actual reduction in delay by bypassing the SGSN in the transport plane is strongly dependent on implementation and can therefore not be exactly estimated here. |
997ad2510cb826711e63f644e1d2617f | 23.873 | 8 Summary | |
997ad2510cb826711e63f644e1d2617f | 23.873 | 8.1 Selection Criteria | This subsection contains an unordered list of selection criteria which will be used as a guideline when the feasibility study makes its recommendation.
The selection criterion is divided into two parts. The first refers to specific aims of the Feasibility Study and is included to give a clear indication of the advantages expected from a migration from the R99 architecture. The second part consists of compatibility criteria, which are included to ensure that the selected alternative remains compatible with both present services and features that are required to be supported for future releases. |
997ad2510cb826711e63f644e1d2617f | 23.873 | 8.1.1 Aims | - Available in a timely manner (e.g., R4/R5). However, the interactions with a split of call control and user planes, also in UTRAN, need to be taken into consideration to allow comprehensive operator reasoning behind the viability of the split functionality
- The chosen approach should make efficient use of the network resources
- Can be implemented with minimum changes to other network entities
- Can evolve towards further control / transport (e.g. to support split GGSN)
- Allow the procurement of control entities and bearer entities from different vendors
- Reference points carrying signalling messages (e.g., Mp) shall not reduce the capabilities for the bearer entities to provide the equivalent QoS as present in the combined SGSN
- Efficient support, in terms of QoS, of future users of the packet bearers, e.g. the IP multimedia subsystem |
997ad2510cb826711e63f644e1d2617f | 23.873 | 8.1.2 Compatibility criteria | - Can be introduced into an existing network in a phased manner, i.e. can co-exist and inter-operate with non-split elements of the same type.
- Applicable for both pre-pay and subscription subscribers
- Applicable for both roaming and non-roaming subscribers
- Should not preclude the use of Mobile IP, both v4 and v6, in the future.
- Selected alternative will result in stability for the network architecture, thus minimizing standards churn.
- Can support all related regulatory functions, i.e. Lawful Interception. |
997ad2510cb826711e63f644e1d2617f | 23.873 | 8.2 Assignment of Functions to the Logical Architecture | The following table provides an overview of the functions performed by the different nodes of each alternative. SGSN and GGSN refer to R99 nodes and also to the case where it is not possible to establish one tunnel in alternative 2.
NOTE 1: For alternative 2, the SGSN and cSGSN functions on one hand, and the GGSN and xGGSN functions on the other hand, must be implemented by the same physical node in order to support the cases where one tunnel is not applicable. However in most cases it should be possible to establish one tunnel.
NOTE 2: In case intra SGSN intersystem change needs to be supported, the 2G-SGSN and the SGSN server must be implemented in the same physical node. However in most cases intra SGSN intersystem change should not be required.

997ad2510cb826711e63f644e1d2617f | 23.873 | 8.2.1 High-Level Functions Description | |
997ad2510cb826711e63f644e1d2617f | 23.873 | 8.2.1.1 Network Control Functions | Authentication and Authorisation Function: This function performs the identification and authentication of the service requester, and the validation of the service request type to ensure that the user is authorised to use the particular network services. The authentication function is performed in association with the Mobility Management functions.
Admission Control Function: The purpose of admission control is to calculate which network resources are required to provide the quality of service (QoS) requested, determine if those resources are available, and then reserve those resources. Admission control is performed in association with the Radio Resource Management functions in order to estimate the radio resource requirements within each cell.
Charging Data Collection Function: This function collects data necessary to support subscription and/or traffic fees.
Forward location info: This function relays information delivered by RANAP to the xGGSN or to the PS-MGW to enable location dependent charging or interception.
Mobility Event Collection: This function collects all CAMEL events and forwards this information to the SCP.
Legal Interception Content of Communication: This function forwards the intercepted traffic to the LEA.
Legal Interception Related Information: This function forwards the user mobility events to the LEA.
Forward CAMEL info to xGGSN or PS-MGW: This function delivers prepaid budget to the function monitoring the traffic.
CAMEL Prepaid: This function monitors the traffic and consumes the budget according to the traffic, prevents further traffic when no more budget is available and returns not consumed budget at release of the session.
SMS handling: This function relays SMS between RAN and SMS-GMSC transferred via RANAP or MAP, respectively. |
997ad2510cb826711e63f644e1d2617f | 23.873 | 8.2.1.2 Packet Routeing and Transfer Functions | Relay Function: The relay function is the means by which a node forwards data received from one node to the next node in the route.
Routeing Function: The routeing function determines the network node to which a message should be forwarded and the underlying service(s) used to reach that GPRS Support Node (GSN), using the destination address of the message. The routeing function selects the transmission path for the “next hop” in the route.
Data transmission between GSNs may occur across external data networks that provide their own internal routeing functions, for example X.25 [34], Frame Relay or ATM networks.
Address Translation and Mapping Function: Address translation is the conversion of one address to another address of a different type. Address translation may be used to convert an external network protocol address into an internal network address that can be used for routeing packets within and between the PLMN(s).
Address mapping is used to map a network address to another network address of the same type for the routeing and relaying of messages within and between the PLMN(s), for example to forward packets from one network node to another.
Encapsulation Function: Encapsulation is the addition of address and control information to a data unit for routeing packets within and between the PLMN(s). Decapsulation is the removal of the addressing and control information from a packet to reveal the original data unit.
Encapsulation and decapsulation are performed between the support nodes of the packet domain PLMN(s), and between the serving support node and the UE.
Tunnelling Function: Tunnelling is the transfer of encapsulated data units within and between the PLMN(s) from the point of encapsulation to the point of decapsulation. A tunnel is a two-way point-to-point path. Only the tunnel endpoints are identified.
Per Packet QoS Management: It includes all packet processing to maintain the QoS especially the transfer delay and packet loss ratio within the limits negotiated for each PDP context. |
997ad2510cb826711e63f644e1d2617f | 23.873 | 8.2.1.3 Mobility Management Functions | The mobility management functions are used to keep track of the current location of an MS within the PLMN or within another PLMN. |
997ad2510cb826711e63f644e1d2617f | 23.873 | 8.3 Comparison of the Overall Functionality | The table below addresses the cases where the respective evolved architectures are applicable.
NOTE 1: The split SGSN approach is not applicable when 2G radio is used.
NOTE 2: The one tunnel approach is not applicable when 2G radio is used, at inter PLMN scenarios, and when R97-R99 SGSN and/or GGSN is used.

By having an m:n relationship between servers and PS-MGWs, an increase of the ability to better utilize the total network capacity is achieved, as servers can set up new PDP contexts on a different MGW when resources are scarce on one MGW. As a deployment option, this principle can even be used to share some MGW resources between CS and PS domain. These resources are lower layer protocols and hardware resources (e.g. interface cards), and parts related to the Mp interface, if H.248 is selected.

Annex A (informative):
Combined SGSN and GGSN split
A.1 Introduction
In the PS CN domain the node that comprises the more user and control plane functions is undoubtedly the SGSN. The functional split of SGSN may be the primary target for decomposition. However the GGSN could be also decomposed into a server and a media gateway for smooth migration into R’00 and beyond. This alternative could be proposed as a next step solution of the SGSN split, after whole SGSN split issues are solved.
In the proposed architecture, as depicted in the figure A.1, the SGSN and the GGSN are decomposed into the server and the PS media gateway. The functional allocation between SGSN server, GGSN server and PS-MGW can be classified as follows.
Functions of the SGSN server:
- Session Management
- Mobility Management
- GTP-C termination
- MAP termination
- RANAP termination
- CDR handling
- Provision of Intercept Related Information (Lawful Interception)
- Media gateway selection
- CAP termination
- etc.
Functions of the GGSN server:
- Session Management
- Location Management (for MT call)
- GTP-C termination
- CDR handling
- Media gateway selection
- IP Packet control (RADIUS client, DHCP client and so on)
- etc.
Functions of the PS-MGW:
- GTP-U termination
- Quality of service provision
- Collection of usage information for charging
- Reporting of usage information on demand or event to the SGSN server
- Provision of Content of Communications (Lawful Interception)
- etc.
The servers control the PS-MGWs through the Mp interface following the H.248 standard. It is possible, as an operator and/or implementation option, to have a common MGW for the CS and PS CN domains, which allows for an efficient allocation of resources amongst both domains. In this case, the combined MGW may provide PSTN interworking functionality and operated as a MGW to the legacy PSTN for IP multimedia call.
The QoS resource allocation on the GGSN side requires further analysis.
A.2 Logical Architecture
Figure A.1: Evolved logical architecture with GGSN server and PS-MGW
NOTE 1: A PS-MGW and associated MGW can be implemented as a single node. (Optional)
NOTE 2: The functionality and interfaces of the PS-MGW associated with GGSN may be different from the functionality and the interfaces of the PS-MGW associated with the SGSN.
NOTE 3: As an implementation option, to build a 2G+3G SGSN, the 2G-SGSN function may be 87ignalling with the SGSN server function.
NOTE 4: The following interfaces are also part of the R00 reference architecture, but are not shown for layout purposes only:
- between MSC’s (including MSC server / MGW), E interface;
- between VLR’s, G interface;
- between SGSN’s, Gn interface;
- between CSCF and UE, Gm interface;
- between CSCF and PS-MGW, Gi interface;
- between MSC (or MSC server) and SGSN, Gs interface (optional).
In the proposed architecture, the control path is separated from the user data path, so that each path is split into control and user path; Iu-u, Iu-c, Gn-u, Gn-c, Gp-u, Gp-c and so on. The letter ‘u’ stands for ‘user traffic’ and ‘c’ stands for ‘control plane’.
A.2.1 Functional Nodes
A.2.1.1 SGSN Server
The SGSN server handles all the 88ignalling interfaces of an R’99 SGSN, including the GTP-C protocol on the Gn_c and Gp_c interface and RANAP protocol on the Iu_c interface. It controls the PS-Media Gateway through the Mp interface following the H.248 standard.
Split architecture should support GPRS for GSM, but how to interconnect BSS and PS CN still needs further discussions in a sense that control plane and user plane would not be clearly separated on Gb interface. So which node between SGSN server and PS-MGW will be connected to BSS is not determined yet at the moment
A.2.1.2 GGSN Server
The GGSN server handles all the signalling interfaces of an R’99 GGSN, including the GTP-C protocol on Gn_c and Gp_c interface. It controls the PS-MGW through the Mp interface following the H.248 standard.
The GGSN server may act as a DHCP client and RADIUS client with the external IP network.
A.2.1.3 Packet Switching – Media Gateway (PS-MGW)
The PS-MGW handles the user plane for GPRS. It terminates the GTP-U tunnels from the PS-MGW supervised by SGSN server over Gn_u and Gp_u interface.
The PS-MGW is controlled either by the GGSN server or by the SGSN server through the Mp interface following the H.248 standard.
The PS-MGW can be combined with a MGW for CS domain, e.g. to allow for dynamic sharing of resources between the PS and CS domain
A.2.2 Interfaces
Only interfaces, which are newly introduced with splitting the GGSN, are mentioned in this section. Interfaces that are not described here or elsewhere in this TR conform to their definition in the relevant specifications.
The protocols GTP-U, GTP-C, RANAP and BSSGP referred to in the following subclauses conform to their current specifications and are not impacted by the decomposition of the SGSN and GGSN.
A.2.2.1 GGSN server – PS-MGW(Mp) (Iu Mode Only)
The PS-MGW is controlled by the GGSN server through the Mp interface. The Mp interface supports the MeGaCo/H.248 protocol, with GPRS-specific extensions. This interface belongs to the control plane.
A.2.2.2 BSS – PS CN (Gb) (Gb Mode Only)
With some open issues, the Gb interface needs further discussions, thus it is FFS.
A.2.2.3 SGSN server – GGSN server (Gn_c, Gp_c) (Iu Mode Only)
In Iu mode, the Gn_c interface between the SGSN server and the GGSN server supports the GTP-C protocol and belongs to the control plane.
The Gp_c interface provides the same functionality as the Gn_c interface, except that it applies only when the SGSN server and the GGSN server belong to different PLMNs.
A.2.2.4 Inter PS-MGW (Gn_u, Gp_u) (Iu Mode Only)
The Gn_u interface between the PS-MGW controlled by SGSN server and the PS-MGW controlled by GGSN server support the GTP-U protocol. This interface belongs to the user plane.
The Gp_u interface provides the same functionality as the Gn_u interface, except that it applies only when each PS-MGW belongs to different PLMNs.
A.2.2.5 Gn interface for inter SGSN procedures
Interfaces related to SGSN intersystem change (UMTS to/from GSM) are FFS.
The case where the MS moves between GSM cells served by two different nodes is FFS.
When the MS moves between UMTS cells served by two different SGSN servers:
- the Gn_c interface between SGSN servers supports the GTP-C protocol.
- the Gn_u interface between PS-MGW supports the GTP-U protocol.
A.3 Benefits and Drawbacks
With the decomposition of the GGSN, additional advantages are possible.
- The PS-MGW associated with SGSN and the PS-MGW associated with GGSN could be easily integrated into a single node.
- The PS-domain media gateway and the CS-domain media gateway could be integrated for more efficient resource allocation.
- With the GGSN split, GGSN server may not be tightly coupled with PS-MGW. Even in the case of a GGSN change, the same GGSN server could control the newly assigned PS-MGW.
A.4 Open Issues
With the GGSN split, the following issues are to be solved.
- Interoperability with GPRS (Gb mode only), including the interaction between the SGSN server (or PS-MGW) and BSS
- Decomposition of QoS resource
- Handling QoS messages in GGSN, including RSVP signalling
- Investigate how to merge PSTN interworking functionality into PS-MGW
- Further analysis on GTP-C protocol to be used for Mp interface
- Investigate how to support Ipv6
- Decomposition of Mobile IP functionality into GGSN server and PS-MGW
- etc

83726f0f79dd0b5bad7d922a555d137b | 25.870 | 4.1 Introduction | In the current Rel99 & Rel’4 specification, as identified by RAN WG’s (WG1, WG2 and WG3), when DSCH scheduling be done in DRNC, logical split cannot be supported over Iur during the DSCH soft handover. Furthermore, hard split has advantage over logical split in the sense that it can be supported over Iur. However, it was also identified that hard split has some limitation and therefore there is some need to study the enhancement for TFCI coding in the DSCH hard split mode
Currently DSCH hard split mode can support only 5 bit long DSCH and DCH TFCIs. As a result, the number of TFCI is limited upto 32 for DCH and DSCH in DSCH hard split mode. A new TFCI coding scheme to support the flexible bit length can enhance the DSCH hard split mode.
4.2 Requirements
The new TFCI encoding scheme should be an extension of the existing scheme and include the TFCI encoding scheme for non-split mode and 5:5 split mode as a subset. This implies that full backward compatibility to the TFCI encoding and mapping schemes used in R99/Rel-4 must be guaranteed.
The requirements on the new TFCI encoding scheme are summarised as follows:
• There shall be only one TFCI encoding scheme, both for non-split mode and for flexible/fixed split mode. The new TFCI encoding scheme shall give identical output for non-split mode and 5:5 hard split as in R99/Rel-4.
• The mapping of encoded TFCI bits to the bits in the TFCI fields of the physical channel shall not be changed. This implies that 32 bits shall be output from the TFCI encoding process for all hard split combinations.
• Reuse of existing encoder structure, i.e. use of the same basis sequences Mi,0 … Mi,9 as in Table 8 of [3].
• The amount of additional hardware, e.g. for storing additional puncturing patterns, shall be minimised.
The new scheme must show acceptable performance.
4.3 Proposed TFCI Coding Scheme for the flexible Hard Split mode
This section describes the modification of the current TFCI coding scheme to support the flexible code length, and explains the performance, backward compatibility and hardware complexity due to an encoding scheme and an example of decoder structure. The modified TFCI coding scheme is called as “Flexible Hard Split mode TFCI coding scheme (FHS-TFCI)”.
In the current specification, (16,5) Bi-Orthogonal Code and (32,10) sub-code of the second order Reed-Muller code are used as TFCI coding schemes. Actually, these coding schemes can be implemented by one encoder and one decoder. This means that (16,5) Bi-Orthogonal Code can be obtained from (32,10) sub-code of the second order Reed-Muller code, by selecting some basis and by puncturing some bits. “Shortening techniques” are used in the consideration of the backward compatibilities. The shortening techniques create a new code by selecting basis and puncture some coded symbols from mother code. `FHS-TFCI using shortening technique has a good performance. Moreover, the difference between the current TFCI coding scheme and the flexible hard split mode TFCI coding scheme (FHS-TFCI) is the number of puncturing patterns. That is, FHS-TFCI can use the current TFCI coder and decoder and requires small memory for storing puncturing patterns. This means that the impact of FHS-TFCI is very small in the viewpoint of hardware.
In the following sections, the encoder structure and an example of decoder structure are described in detail.
4.3.1 Effective code rate after mapping of TFCI codeword in normal mode
Before describing FHS-TFCI, we consider the coded symbol length relative to TFCI information ratios. The most natural way is to maintain uniform code rate. The current TFCI coding scheme uses (32,l0) codes. However, according to TS 25.212, if TFCI codeword is not repeated, then the effective TFCI code rate after mapping of TFCI codeword in normal mode is 1/3. Consequently, if the effective code rate is maintained as 1/3, then the effective code lengths relative to TFCI information ratios after the codeword mapping in normal mode are as shown in Table 1:
Table 1. Effective Code Length for TFCI information ratio
For backward compatibility, however, code length at the output of TFCI coder should be maintained as 32 while the sum of the effective code lengths for DCH and DSCH is 30 for each case as shown in Table 1. Thus, in TFCI coding scheme that will be implemented, it is necessary to add 1 bit to the code word for DCH and DSCH, respectively, as shown in Table 2.
Table 2. Code length at the TFCI coder output for TFCI information ratio
4.3.2 TFCI encoder structure for flexible hard split mode
According to the code length in Table 2, the encoder structure of FHS-TFCI is as shown in figure 1:
Fig 1. Encoder Structure
In Fig 1, the encoder consists of (32,10) sub-code of the second order Reed-Muller code and a puncturer for each code length. The puncturing pattern and the used basis for each code length are listed in table 3.

4.3.3 Performance of FHS-TFCI coding scheme
In consideration of fig 1 and table 3, (19,6), (22,7), (25,8), and (28,9) encoders are the shortening version of (32,10) sub-code of second order Reed-Muller code, while others have the following basic structure.
• (4,1) encoder : 4 time repetition code
• (7,2) encoder : Repetition & Puncturing of (3,2) simplex code
• (10,3) encoder : Repetition & Puncturing of (7,3) simplex code
• (13,4) encoder : Puncturing of (15,4) simplex code
As we can see, (4,1), (7,2), (10,3), and (13,4) encoders are based on (2k-1,k) simplex encoder. These codes have an advantage of designing the decoder because IFHT(Inverse Fast Hadamard transform) can be used for decoder. Using IFHT in decoder can reduce H/W complexity.
As in the current specification, certain 30 bits of 32-bit output of TFCI coder will be transmitted or 32-bit TFCI codeword will be repeatedly transmitted, according to a mapping rule to map the TFCI codeword to the slots of the radio frame. The mapping rule is FFS. However, to get the optimal (or near optimal) performance in the case that only 30 bits are transmitted in normal mode, FHS-TFCI is designed based on the assumption as follows. In the case that only 30 bits are transmitted, the mapping rule shall satisfy that
• The last bit of TFCI codeword for DCH is not transmitted.
• The last bit of TFCI codeword for DSCH is not transmitted.
It is noted that the above assumption preserves the consistency with the TFCI ratio of (5:5) in split mode operation, which is defined in the current specification.
In general, the performance of block code is determined by minimum distance dmin. In the viewpoint of performance, dmin’s of FHS-TFCI for each code length is shown in table 4.

Table 4. Performance of FHS-TFCI
As shown in Table 4, FHS-TFCI is the optimal code in (3,1), (4,1), (6,2), (7,2), (9,3), (10,3), (12,4), (13,4), (16,5), (15,5), (21,7), (22,7), (28,9), (32,10), and (24,8) cases, while in (18,6), (19,6), (25,8), and (27,9) cases, the performance of FHS-TFCI is very close to the optimal bound.
4.3.4 Decoder
There are a lot of decoding methods of block code, e.g., “ Brute-force method”. This section describes an example of the decoder structure according to FHS-TFCI. The decoder structure in this section is only an example and informative. The purpose of this section is to show the possible way for the current TFCI coding scheme and FHS-TFCI to coexist without significant complexity increase.
Similar to encoder structure for FHS-TFCI in 4.3.2, the decoding scheme for FHS-TFCI can be implemented by one decoder (which is included in current TFCI coding scheme) regardless of the code length. Furthermore, the decoder of “(32,10) the sub-code of the second order Reed-Muller code” for the current TFCI coding scheme can be reused. The decoder structure is as shown in Fig 3.
Fig 3. Decoder Structure
The decoder in fig 3 is the decoder of “(32,10) the sub-code of the second order Reed-Muller code” for Rel’99/Rel 4. There is no additional H/W block required for FHS-TFCI and only the code length information is needed for FHS-TFCI. Controller in fig.2 controls the operation of 0 inserter, mask multipliers and IFHT according to code length information. 0 inserter inserts 0 symbols into the received symbols at the puncturing position listed in table 2. Mask multipliers multiplies the received bits by the mask that is generated from mask generator and also used for the current TFCI coding scheme. IFHT performs Inverse Fast Hadamard Transform operation. The number of IFHTs used for FHS-TFCI depends on code length and the maximum number of IFHTs is identical to that of the current TFCI coding scheme in this example. In detail, when the number of information bits is less than or equal to 6 ( k ≤ 6) , no mask-multiplier is used and the one IFHT-the first IFHT- is used. On the other hand, when the number of information bits is over 6 (k > 6), (2k-6-1) mask-multipliers and 2k-6 IFHTs are used.
4.3.5 Complexity
Considering the encoder structure, there is no additional block except increasing the memory size for storing the puncturing patterns. The decoder in fig 3 is an example to show FHS-TFCI will not increase the H/W complexity of the current decoder.
Thus, in implementing FHS-TFCI, there is no significant increase in complexity, and backward compatibility can be maintained.
4.3.6. Mapping rule of the TFCI Coded symbol
4.3.6.1. Criterion for the Mapping rule
In this section, we mention about the criterion for mapping rule. Criterion is as follows :
1) n coded symbols with smaller size is ordered as uniformly as possible.
2) In the normal case(non-compressed mode & SF > 64), out of total 32 symbols, 1bit for DSCH and 1bit for DCH is not transmitted.
3) Have a generalized form to include 5:5 hard split case which is in Rel.99/Rel.4 specification.
The first criterion means that the uniform distribution of the transmitted symbol in the time domain guarantee the good time diversity. Actually, when n coded symbols with smaller size are transmitted in the positions uniformly distributed and (32 – n) coded symbols with larger size are transmitted in the other positions, the positions for (32 – n) coded symbols with larger size have also almost uniformly distributed. The second one is for maintaining the code rate 1/3( the code rate 1/3 is the one in non-split mode ) in the normal case(non-compressed mode & SF > 64).
4.3.6.2. Mapping rule
In this section, we described about mapping rule based on the criterion as seen in the previous section. We will introduce a formula for calculating the mapping positions. In terms of the criterion, first, the mapping position according to formula is uniformly distributed, and second, the last symbol of the codeword is mapped to the last position in all cases. Before we describing the mapping position, the number of the coded symbol is as the following table 5.

Table 5. The number of coded symbol
We introduce the formula for calculating the mapping position uniformly distributed within 32 positions. In case n 16, the formula is as follows :
i-th symbol position Pi = (1)
,where {t} = r iff r – 0.5 t < r + 0.5, r is an integer, i = 0,…,n–1.
Then, when we decide the mapping position of the n coded symbols of the field with the smaller size by using the above formula, that of the coded symbol with larger size is all other. The formula for this is as follows :
i-th symbol position Pi = (2)
,where t is the greatest integer less than or equal to t and i = 0,…, 32 – n – 1.
As an example, in 2 : 8 case. 7 mapping positions for TFCIDCH are 4, 8, 13, 17, 22, 26, 31 according to the equation (1). In the other hand, mapping position for TFCIDSCH are the others, say, 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30 according to the equation (2).
We define d*,i as a output coded symbol after puncturing. Then, the mapping rule into the transmitted TFCI coded symbols is
(3) i = 0,1,…, 32 – n – 1,
and
(4) , i = 0,1,…, n – 1.
Actually, this formula is the generalized form of 5:5 case, which is in the current specification. For this, substituting n for 16,
,
and
.
Therefore, equation (3) and (4) are the same as 5:5 case in the current specification.

To support the work task “TFCI coding in DSCH hard split mode”, following two requirements shall be fulfilled.
1) UE shall have a method to inform UTRAN whether or not it supports the enhanced TFCI coding in DSCH hard split mode.
2) UTRAN shall have a method to inform UE of the length of TFCI (field1) or TFCI (field2).
The first requirement can be satisfied if a new IE, which represents whether UE supports enhanced TFCI coding in DSCH hard split mode or not, is added in UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message.
Regarding the second requirement, UTRAN can inform UE of TFCI (field2) length by IE “Length of TFCI(field2)” which is already included in “Transport Format Combination Set”. In current specification, however, the IE “Length of TFCI(field2)” is required only if the logical split mode is applied. So only what we need is to make the IE “Length of TFCI(field2)” available even if the hard split mode is applied by removing the restriction that both TFCI (field1) and TFCI (field2) have a static length of five bits.

In the above message, if the TFCI Signalling Mode is set to be “Split” then it means hard split mode used. To support flexible TFCI bits for hard split, the TFCI bit length information should be signalled to DRNC using the above RNSAP messages. For the backward compatible change, a new optional IE can be added in the above RNSAP messages with a criticality for supporting flexible TFCI bit length in DSCH hard split mode.

Before SRNC sets up a Radio Link in a target cell controlled by other RNC, SRNC should know if the target cell supports flexible hard split mode. In order for SRNC to get the information, DRNC can transmit the information using UPLINK SIGNALLING TRANSFER INDICATION message and Neighbouring FDD Cell Information IE in RADIO LINK SETUP/ADDITION RESPONSE/FAILURE message.
Flexible Hard Split Support Indicator IE can be transmitted by the following messages
• RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE

83726f0f79dd0b5bad7d922a555d137b | 25.870 | 5 TFCI power control in DSCH hard split mode | |
83726f0f79dd0b5bad7d922a555d137b | 25.870 | 5.1 Introduction | According to Release99 and Rel’4 specification, there is split mode of operation where TFCI2 (TFCI for DSCH) is not necessarily transmitted from every cell in the active set when UE is in soft handover region. Thus, the combined TFCI power in UE may not be enough to detect it reliably. As well, the power offset for TFCI (PO1) is determined in Radio Link Setup procedure, and cannot be flexibly changed any longer when Radio Link Reconfiguration, Radio Link Addition or Deletion occurs. Therefore, there seems to be a reliability problem if the power offset is initially decided a lower value than required one regardless of whether UE is in soft handover or not. To consider this problem in Release99 and Rel’4, the power offset must be always set the highest value even when UE does not exist in soft handover region. In the viewpoint of power resource management, it may be inefficient to always allocate the high power offset to TFCI. Therefore, TFCI power control enhancement methods in the DSCH hard split mode are proposed to solve these problems in Rel’5. In the following sections, two methods are described to flexibly adjust the power offset for TFCI.
5.2 Requirements
The proposed TFCI power control scheme is to flexibly adjust the power offset for TFCI. The requirements are summarised as follows.
• The backward compatibility to Release 99/Rel 4 should be guaranteed.
• Hardware increase shall be minimised.
• The proposed scheme shows an acceptable performance.
• Compatibility with other proposed methods is still kept. |
83726f0f79dd0b5bad7d922a555d137b | 25.870 | 5.3 Proposed TFCI power control scheme | In this section, some details on the proposed TFCI power control scheme are described, in which new parameters such as TFCI PO or TFCI PO_primary are introduced in Frame Protocol specification and how to allocate flexible power offset for TFCI is explained. As well, simulation results are shown to indicate the required values for TFCI power offset in soft handover.
5.3.1 Proposed TFCI power control scheme for Rel’5
The proposed TFCI power control scheme is to flexibly adjust the power offset for TFCI in the DSCH hard split mode. For such an operation via Frame Protocol, the parameters that express power offset are introduced. Note that the proposed power offset is applied to both TFCI1 (TFCI for DCH) and TFCI2 (TFCI for DSCH) in the DSCH hard split mode, since the only power offset for TFCI, PO1, is defined in Release99 and Rel’4. Several TFCI power offset values can be supported if the power offset values with additional information are updated.
Two methods are described to show the operation of the proposed scheme based on the additional information such as whether UE exists in soft handover region or whether the cell transmitting DSCH is primary using SSDT uplink only signaling. In method 1, the power offset of PO1 can be determined by whether UE is in soft handover region. If the UE moves from non-handover to handover region, the power offset of PO1 is added to DPCCHs as shown in Figure 5.1. The proper power offset value may beobtained in RNC and signaled by the parameter of TFCI PO to Node B via Frame Protocol.
Figure 5.1 Power level in method 1
In method 2, it is the same point that the power offset of PO1 is determined by whether UE is in soft handover (see Figure 5.2 (a)). In addition, the power offset of PO1is determined by whether TFCI2 is transmitted from primary cell (see Figure 5.2 (b)). The decision on primary or non-primary is made using SSDT uplink only signaling. Note that the SSDT uplink only signaling in method 2 is activated when DSCH power control improvement in soft handover in Rel’4 is operated. When the cell that transmits TFCI2 is primary, the power offset of PO1 for TFCI is added by TFCI PO_primary via Frame Protocol. Otherwise, the power offset of PO1 is applied in soft handover as such a method 1.
(a) non-primary cell case
(b) primary cell case
Figure 5.2 Power level in method 2
In Table 5.1 the Frame Protocol parameters for power offset for TFCI, PO1, are summarised. Note that the proposed power offset should be applied to the DPCCHs, which send both TFCI1 and TFCI2 in the DSCH hard split mode. While the power offset values for the DPCCHs transmitting TFCI1 only follow the procedure defined in Release99 or Rel’4.

Cell sending the DSCH
Cell(s) not sending the DSCH
Primary
Non-primary
Method 1
TFCI PO
Method 2
TFCI PO_primary
TFCI PO
Note that all parameters show the TFCI power offset, PO1, which is updated by Frame Protocol. TFCI PO means the power offset for TFCI in method 1, and the power offset for TFCI transmitted from non-primary cell in soft handover for method 2. TFCI PO_primary is the power offset for TFCI transmitted from primary cell in soft handover for method 2.
Figures 5.3 and 5.4 are the overall system behavior in the proposed TFCI power control scheme in the DSCH hard split mode, which show the example cases of methods 1 and 2, respectively. Here, it is assumed that UE in soft handover has three radio links in active set. Since Node B2 in DRNC sends DSCH, DRNC treats DSCH scheduling and thus TFCI hard split signaling mode is used. TFCI2 (TFCI for DSCH) is transmitted from Node B1 and 2, not from every cell in the active set.
Figure 5.3 shows that the method 1 can adjust TFCI bit power by the proper power offset in radio links where TFCI2 is transmitted. TFCI PO is determined in SRNC and signaled to DRNC and then to Node B1 and 2 by Iur/Iub DCH Frame Protocol.
Figure 5.3 Overall system behavior for method 1 with additional power offset
In Figure 5.4, it is assumed that Node B 2 is determined primary cell by using the activated uplink SSDT signaling. TFCI POin method 2 is defined in the same way with that in method 1. Additionally, the power offset parameter for the primary case, TFCI PO_primary, is sent to Node B2 which transmit the DSCH. Node B2 may choose the parameter of TFCI PO/TFCI PO_primary according to the primary/non-primary condition. Note that in Figures 5.3 and 5.4 TFCI power offset of PO1 from Node B3 is transmitted in the same way with Release 99 or Rel’4, because TFCI2 is not transmitted in the radio link from Node B3.
Figure 5.4 Overall system behavior for method 2 with additional power offset
5.3.2 Considerations on the required power offset
In this section, the required power offset for various radio link environments is obtained through link level simulations. The simulation is performed to show how much power offset for TFCI is required to guarantee the reliability of TFCI 2 bits when TFCI2 is not transmitted from every cell in the active set. The simulation assumptions are shown in Table 5.2.

Table 5.3 shows the required power offset for TFCI2, which is relatively calculated from reference power. The reference is the required power to achieve a word error rate (WER) of 1 % when every cell transmits TFCI2. Note that all of TFCI2 from several links are received and combined in UE in order to calculate such a required power offset. Three cases of handover are assumed, among which 3-way(1 cell) and 3-way(2 cells) mean that 1 and 2 cells transmit TFCI2 in 3-way handover, respectively.
Table 5.3 Required power offset for TFCI2

8.97 dB
From the Table 5.3, we see that the required TFCI power offset (PO1) which guarantees the reliability has the range of 3.47 to 23.27dB. Some of the ranges include the power offset values beyond the range of PO1 that is from 0 to 6dB. Therefore, it is needed to adaptively set TFCI2 power with power offset of TFCI PO or TFCI PO_primary via Frame Protocol, in order to guarantee the reliable and efficient transmission of TFCI2. As well, the conditions to determine the power offset for TFCI is as follows:
• The number of radio links in the active set
• The number of radio links in the active set that transmit TFCI2
5.3.3 Complexity
In order to support the proposed TFCI power control scheme, there is no increase in hardware complexity, but a higher layer signaling from SRNC to CRNC/Node B is required. The power offset value should be obtained in SRNC and signaled to CRNC/Node B by the newly defined parameters in Section 5.3.1.
• UE point of view
No additional hardware and software are required.
• Node B point of view
The software changes are expected in order to flexibly set the power offset for TFCI. The new singling elements are added to the Iur/Iub specification. There is no impact on the existing hardware structures.
• RNC point of view
The software changes are expected in order to calculate the newly defined TFCI power offset. The new signaling elements are required to add to the Iur/Iub specification. The existing hardware structures are not impacted. |
83726f0f79dd0b5bad7d922a555d137b | 25.870 | 5.4 Specification Impact and associated Change Request | The expected specification impacts are small.
25.214: Time-varying TFCI power by method 1 or method 2 should be explained.
• For method 1, no impact is expected.
• For method 2, SSDT uplink signalling usage for TFCI power control is to be described.
25.427: The changed power offset should be signalled via Iur/Iub signalling.
• For method 1, new parameter, TFFCI PO, is to be added in the information element.
• For method 2, new parameter, TFCI PO and TFCI PO_primary, is to be added in the information element.
25.435: Description regarding to the DSCH power offset should be clarified.

83726f0f79dd0b5bad7d922a555d137b | 25.870 | 5.2.1.1 General | The downlink transmit power control procedure controls simultaneously the power of a DPCCH and its corresponding DPDCHs. The power control loop adjusts the power of the DPCCH and DPDCHs with the same amount, i.e. the relative power difference between the DPCCH and DPDCHs is not changed.
The relative transmit power offset between DPCCH fields and DPDCHs is determined by the network. The TFCI, TPC and pilot fields of the DPCCH are offset relative to the DPDCHs power by PO1, PO2 and PO3 dB respectively. The power offsets may vary in time. UTRAN may use the SSDT operation as specified in section 5.2.2 to determine what power offset to use for TFCI in hard split mode with respect to the associated downlink DPDCH. The method for controlling the power offsets within UTRAN is specified in [6].
The power of CCC field in DL DPCCH for CPCH is the same as the power of the pilot field. |
83726f0f79dd0b5bad7d922a555d137b | 25.870 | 5.2.1.4 Site selection diversity transmit power control | |
83726f0f79dd0b5bad7d922a555d137b | 25.870 | 5.2.1.4.1 General | Site selection diversity transmit power control (SSDT) is another macro diversity method in soft handover mode. This method is optional in UTRAN.
Operation is summarised as follows. The UE selects one of the cells from its active set to be ‘primary’, all other cells are classed as ‘non primary’. The main objective is to transmit on the downlink from the primary cell, thus reducing the interference caused by multiple transmissions in a soft handover mode. A second objective is to achieve fast site selection without network intervention, thus maintaining the advantage of the soft handover. In order to select a primary cell, each cell is assigned a temporary identification (ID) and UE periodically informs a primary cell ID to the connecting cells. The non-primary cells selected by UE switch off the transmission power. The primary cell ID is delivered by UE to the active cells via uplink FBI field. SSDT activation, SSDT termination and ID assignment are all carried out by higher layer signalling.
SSDT can only be used when the P-CPICH is used as the downlink phase reference.
UTRAN may also command UE to use SSDT signalling in the uplink although cells would transmit the downlink as without SSDT active. In case SSDT is used in the uplink direction only, the processing in the UE for the radio links received in the downlink is as with macro diversity in non-SSDT case. The downlink operation mode for SSDT is set by higher layers. UTRAN may use the SSDT information for the PDSCH power control as specified in section 5.2.2 and for the TFCI power control in hard split mode .
NOTE: This feature of SSDT limited to uplink only applies to terminals that are DSCH capable.

5.4.1 Study Areas
5.4.1.1 New Information
The parameters to be needed for supporting TFCI power control in the DSCH hard split mode are as followings:
1) for TFCI power control method 1 : TFCI PO
2) for TFCI power control method 2 : TFCI PO, TFCI PO_primary
3) to indicate whether the proposed TFCI power control scheme is supported in the cell : TFCI PC Support Indicator
For the method 2, the parameters for the primary/secondary status determination from SSDT commands in the uplink FBI (Feedback Information) field would be shared with DSCH Power Control Improvement. When the improved DSCH PC is activated, the TFCI power control method 2 is also activated.
5.4.1.2 Example Scenario

This signalling procedure is for figure 5.3, and shows how the new power offset is applied.
1. SRNC sends RNSAP message RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST to DRNC.

83726f0f79dd0b5bad7d922a555d137b | 25.870 | 8.3.1.2 Successful Operation | Figure 5: Radio Link Setup procedure: Successful Operation
When the SRNC makes an algorithmic decision to add the first cell or set of cells from a DRNS to the active set of a specific UE-UTRAN connection, the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message is sent to the corresponding DRNC to request establishment of the radio link(s).
The DRNS shall prioritise resource allocation for the RL(s) to be established according to Annex A.
If the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message includes the Allowed Queuing Time IE the DRNS may queue the request the time corresponding to the value of the Allowed Queuing Time IE before starting to execute the request.
If no D-RNTI IE was included in the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message, the DRNC shall assign a new D-RNTI for this UE.
Transport Channels Handling:
DCH(s):
[TDD - If the DCH Information IE is present in RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message, the DRNS shall configure the new DCHs according to the parameters given in the message.]
If the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message includes a DCH Information IE with multiple DCH Specific Info IEs then the DRNS shall treat the DCHs in the DCH Information IE as a set of co-ordinated DCHs.
[FDD - For DCHs which do not belong to a set of co-ordinated DCHs with the QE-Selector IE set to "selected", the Transport channel BER from that DCH shall be the base for the QE in the UL data frames. If no Transport channel BER is available for the selected DCH the Physical channel BER shall be used for the QE, ref. [4]. If the QE-Selector is set to "non-selected ", the Physical channel BER shall be used for the QE in the UL data frames, ref. [4].]
For a set of co-ordinated DCHs the Transport channel BER from the DCH with the QE-Selector IE set to "selected" shall be used for the QE in the UL data frames, ref. [4]. [FDD - If no Transport channel BER is available for the selected DCH the Physical channel BER shall be used for the QE, ref. [4]. If all DCHs have QE-Selector IE set to "non-selected" the Physical channel BER shall be used for the QE, ref. [4].]
The DRNS shall use the included UL DCH FP Mode IE for a DCH or a set of co-ordinated DCHs as the DCH FP Mode in the Uplink of the user plane for the DCH or the set of co-ordinated DCHs.
The DRNS shall use the included ToAWS IE for a DCH or a set of co-ordinated DCHs as the Time of Arrival Window Start Point in the user plane for the DCH or the set of co-ordinated DCHs.
The DRNS shall use the included ToAWE IE for a DCH or a set of co-ordinated DCHs as the Time of Arrival Window End Point in the user plane for the DCH or the set of co-ordinated DCHs.
The Frame Handling Priority IE defines the priority level that should be used by the DRNS to prioritise between different frames of the data frames of the DCHs in the downlink on the radio interface in congestion situations once the new RL(s) have been activated.
If the DCH Specific Info IE in the DCH Information IE includes the Guaranteed Rate Information IE, the DRNS shall treat the included IEs according to the following:
- If the Guaranteed Rate Information IE includes the Guaranteed UL Rate IE, the DRNS may decide to request the SRNC to limit the user rate of the uplink of the DCH at any point in time. The DRNS may request the SRNC to reduce the user rate of the uplink of the DCH below the guaranteed bit rate, however, whenever possible the DRNS should request the SRNC to reduce the user rate between the maximum bit rate and the guaranteed bit rate. If the DCH Specific Info IE in the DCH Information IE does not include the Guaranteed UL Rate IE, the DRNS shall not limit the user rate of the uplink of the DCH.
- If the Guaranteed Rate Information IE includes the Guaranteed DL Rate IE, the DRNS may decide to request the SRNC to limit the user rate of the downlink of the DCH at any point in time. The DRNS may request the SRNC to reduce the user rate of the downlink of the DCH below the guaranteed bit rate, however, whenever possible the DRNS should request the SRNC to reduce the user rate between the maximum bit rate and the guaranteed bit rate. If the DCH Specific Info IE in the DCH Information IE does not include the Guaranteed DL Rate IE, the DRNS shall not limit the user rate of the downlink of the DCH.
DSCH(s):
If the DSCH Information IE is included in the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message, the DRNC shall establish the requested DSCHs [FDD - on the RL indicated by the PDSCH RL ID IE]. In addition, the DRNC shall send a valid set of DSCH Scheduling Priority IE and MAC-c/sh SDU Length IE parameters to the SRNC in the message RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE message.

[FDD - If the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message includes the Transmission Gap Pattern Sequence Information IE, the DRNS shall store the information about the Transmission Gap Pattern Sequences to be used in the Compressed Mode Configuration. This Compressed Mode Configuration shall be valid in the DRNS until the next Compressed Mode Configuration is configured in the DRNS or last Radio Link is deleted.]
[FDD - If the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message includes the Transmission Gap Pattern Sequence Information IE and the Active Pattern Sequence Information IE, the DRNS shall use the information to activate the indicated Transmission Gap Pattern Sequences(s) in the new RL. The received CM Configuration Change CFN IE refers to latest passed CFN with that value. The DRNS shall treat the received TGCFN IEs as follows:]
- [FDD - If any received TGCFN IE has the same value as the received CM Configuration Change CFN IE, the DRNS shall consider the concerning Transmission Gap Pattern Sequence as activated at that CFN.]
- [FDD - If any received TGCFN IE does not have the same value as the received CM Configuration Change CFN IE but the first CFN after the CM Configuration Change CFN with a value equal to the TGCFN IE has already passed, the DRNS shall consider the concerning Transmission Gap Pattern Sequence as activated at that CFN.]

If the Diversity Control Field IE is set to "May" (be combined with another RL), then the DRNS shall decide for any of the alternatives. If the Diversity Control Field IE is set to "Must", the DRNS shall combine the RL with one of the other RL. When an RL is to be combined, the DRNS shall choose which RL(s) to combine it with. If the Diversity Control Field IE is set to “Must not”, the DRNS shall not combine the RL with any other existing RL.]
[FDD - In the case of combining one or more RLs the DRNC shall indicate in the RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE message with the Diversity Indication IE that the RL is combined with another RL RL for all RLs but the first RL.

9.2.2.x TFCI PC Support Indicator
The TFCI PC Support Indicator indicates whether the TFCI power control in the DSCH hard split mode can be applied to DL DPCH in the cell or not. TFCI PC Mode 1 means that the only one power offset(TFCI PO[4]) is applied in TFCI power control. TFCI PC Mode 2 means that the cell also supports enhanced DSCH power control and two power offset(TFCI PO and TFCI PO_primary[4]) are applied in TFCI power control.

83726f0f79dd0b5bad7d922a555d137b | 25.870 | 8.2.17 Radio Link Setup | |
83726f0f79dd0b5bad7d922a555d137b | 25.870 | 8.2.17.1 General | This procedure is used for establishing the necessary resources for a new Node B Communication Context in the Node B.
[FDD – The RL Setup procedure is used to establish one or more radio links. The procedure establishes one or more DCHs on all radio links, and in addition, it can include the establishment of one or more DSCHs on one radio link.]
[TDD – The RL Setup procedure is used for establish one radio link including one or more transport channels. The transport channels can be a mixture of DCHs, DSCHs, and USCHs, including also combinations where one or more transport channel types are not present.] |
83726f0f79dd0b5bad7d922a555d137b | 25.870 | 8.2.17.2 Successful Operation | Figure 24: Radio Link Setup procedure, Successful Operation
The procedure is initiated with a RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message sent from the CRNC to Node B.
Upon reception of RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message, the Node B shall reserve necessary resources and configure the new Radio Link(s) according to the parameters given in the message.
The Node B shall prioritise resource allocation for the RL(s) to be established according to Annex A.
Transport Channels Handling:
DCH(s):
[TDD – If the DCH Information IE is present, the Node B shall configure the new DCH(s) according to the parameters given in the message.]
If the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message includes a DCH Information IE with multiple DCH Specific Info IEs then, the Node B shall treat the DCHs in the DCH Information IE as a set of co-ordinated DCHs. The Node B shall include these DCHs in the new configuration only if it can include all of them in the new configuration.
[FDD – For DCHs which do not belong to a set of co-ordinated DCHs with the QE-Selector IE set to "selected", the Transport channel BER from that DCH shall be the base for the QE in the UL data frames. If no Transport channel BER is available for the selected DCH the Physical channel BER shall be used for the QE, ref. [16]. If the QE-Selector is set to "non-selected", the Physical channel BER shall be used for the QE in the UL data frames, ref. [16].]
For a set of co-ordinated DCHs the Transport channel BER from the DCH with the QE-Selector IE set to “selected” shall be used for the QE in the UL data frames, ref. [16]. [FDD - If no Transport channel BER is available for the selected DCH the Physical channel BER shall be used for the QE, ref. [16]. If all DCHs have QE-Selector IE set to "non-selected" the Physical channel BER shall be used for the QE, ref. [16]].
The Node B shall use the included UL FP Mode IE for a DCH or a set of co-ordinated DCHs to be added as the FP Mode in the Uplink of the user plane for the DCH or the set of co-ordinated DCHs in the configuration.
The Node B shall use the included ToAWS IE for a DCH or a set of co-ordinated DCHs to be added as the Time of Arrival Window Start Point in the user plane for the DCH or the set of co-ordinated DCHs in the configuration.
The Node B shall use the included ToAWE IE for a DCH or a set of co-ordinated DCHs to be added as the Time of Arrival Window End Point in the user plane for the DCH or the set of co-ordinated DCHs in the configuration.
The received Frame Handling Priority IE specified for each Transport Channel should be used when prioritising between different frames in the downlink on the radio interface in congestion situations within the Node B once the new RL(s) has been activated.
[FDD – The Diversity Control Field IE indicates for each RL (except the first RL in the message) whether the Node B shall combine the concerned RL or not. If the Diversity Control Field IE is set to"May", then Node B shall decide for either of the alternatives. If the Diversity Control Field IE is set to "Must", the Node B shall combine the RL with one of the other RL. Diversity combining is applied to Dedicated Transport Channels (DCH), i.e. it is not applied to the DSCHs. When a new RL is to be combined, the Node B shall choose which RL(s) to combine it with. If the Diversity Control Field IE is set to “Must not” , the Node B shall not combine the RL with any other existing RL.]
[FDD – In the RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE message the Node B shall indicate with the Diversity Indication IE whether the RL is combined or not. In case of combining, only the Reference RL ID IE shall be included to indicate one of the existing RLs that the concerned RL is combined with. In case of not combining the Node B shall include in the RL SETUP RESPONSE the Binding ID IE and Transport Layer Address IE for the transport bearer to be established for each DCH of this RL.]
[TDD – The Node B shall include in the RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE the Binding ID IE and Transport Layer Address IE for the transport bearer to be established for each DCH of this RL.]
In case of coordinated DCH, the Binding ID IE and the Transport Layer Address IE shall be specified for only one of the coordinated DCHs.
DSCH(s):
If the DSCH Information IE is present, the Node B shall configure the new DSCH(s) according to the parameters given in the message.
[FDD – If the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message includes the TFCI2 Bearer Information IE then the Node B shall support the establishment of a transport bearer on which the DSCH TFCI Signaling control frames shall be received. The Node B shall manage the time of arrival of these frames according to the values of ToAWS and ToAWE specified in the IE’s. The Binding ID IE and Transport Layer Address IE for the new bearer to be set up for this purpose shall be returned in the RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE message.]
The Node B shall include in the RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE the Binding ID IE and Transport Layer Address IE for the transport bearer to be established for each DSCH of this RL.
[TDD – USCH(s)]:
[TDD – If the USCH Information IE is present, the Node B shall configure the new USCH(s) according to the parameters given in the message.]
[TDD – In case the USCH Information IE is present, the Node B shall include in the RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE the Binding ID IE and Transport Layer Address IE for the transport bearer to be established for each USCH of this RL.]
Physical Channels Handling:
[FDD – Compressed Mode]:
[FDD – If the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message includes the Transmission Gap Pattern Sequence Information IE, the Node B shall store the information about the Transmission Gap Pattern Sequences to be used in the Compressed Mode Configuration. This Compressed Mode Configuration shall be valid in the Node B until the next Compressed Mode Configuration is configured in the Node B or Node B Communication Context is deleted.]
[FDD – If the Downlink compressed mode method IE in one or more Transmission Gap Pattern Sequence is set to 'SF/2' in the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message, the Node B shall use or not the alternate scrambling code as indicated for each DL Channelisation Code in the Transmission Gap Pattern Sequence Code Information IE.]
[FDD – If the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message includes the Transmission Gap Pattern Sequence Information IE and the Active Pattern Sequence Information IE, the Node B shall use the information to activate the indicated Transmission Gap Pattern Sequence(s) in the new RL.The received CM Configuration Change CFN refers to the latest passed CFN with that value The Node B shall treat the received TGCFN IEs as follows:]
- [FDD - If any received TGCFN IE has the same value as the received CM Configuration Change CFN IE, the Node B shall consider the concerning Transmission Gap Pattern Sequence as activated at that CFN.]
- [FDD - If any received TGCFN IE does not have the same value as the received CM Configuration Change CFN IE but the first CFN after the CM Configuration Change CFN with a value equal to the TGCFN IE has already passed, the Node B shall consider the concerning Transmission Gap Pattern Sequence as activated at that CFN.]
- [FDD - For all other Transmission Gap Pattern Sequences included in the Active Pattern Sequence Information IE, the Node B shall activate each Transmission Gap Pattern Sequence at the first CFN after the CM Configuration Change CFN with a value equal to the TGCFN IE for the Transmission Gap Pattern Sequence.]
[FDD – DL Code Information]:
[FDD – When more than one DL DPDCH are assigned per RL, the segmented physical channel shall be mapped on to DL DPDCHs according to [8]. When p number of DL DPDCHs are assigned to each RL, the first pair of DL Scrambling Code and FDD DL Channelisation Code Number corresponds to "PhCH number 1", the second to “PhCH number 2”, and so on until the pth to "PhCH number p".]
General:
[FDD – If the Propagation Delay IE is included, the Node B may use this information to speed up the detection of L1 synchronisation.]
[FDD – The UL SIR Target IE included in the message shall be used by the Node B as initial UL SIR target for the UL inner loop power control.]
[1.28Mcps TDD – The UL SIR Target IE included in the message shall be used by the Node B as initial UL SIR target for the UL inner loop power control according [19] and [21].]
[FDD – If the received Limited Power Increase IE is set to 'Used', the Node B shall, if supported, use Limited Power Increase according to ref. [10] subclause 5.2.1 for the inner loop DL power control.]
[FDD – If the TFCI Signalling Mode IE within the RADIO LINK SETUP message indicates that there shall be a hard split on the TFCI field but the TFCI2 Bearer Information IE is not included in the message then the Node B shall transmit the TFCI2 field with zero power.]
[FDD - If the TFCI Signalling Mode IE within the RADIO LINK SETUP message indicates that there shall be a hard split on the TFCI and the TFCI2 Bearer Information IE is included in the message then the Node B shall transmit the TFCI2 field with zero power until Synchronization is achieved on the TFCI2 transport bearer and the first valid DSCH TFCI Signalling control frame is received on this bearer (see ref.[24]).]
Radio Link Handling:
[FDD – Transmit Diversity]:
[FDD – When Diversity Mode IE is "STTD", "Closedloop mode1", or "Closedloop mode2", the Node B shall activate/deactivate the Transmit Diversity to each Radio Link in accordance with Transmit Diversity Indication IE]
DL Power Control:
[FDD – The Node B shall start the DL transmission using the initial DL power specified in the message on each DL DPCH of the RL until either UL synchronisation on the Uu is achieved for the RLS or Power Balancing is activated. No inner loop power control or balancing shall be performed during this period. The DL power shall then vary according to the inner loop power control (see ref.[10], subclause 5.2.1.2) and the power control procedure (see subclause 8.3.7), but shall always be kept within the maximum and minimum limit specified in the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message. During compressed mode, the PSIR(k) , as described in ref.[10] subclause 5.2.1.3, shall be added to the maximum DL power in slot k.]
[FDD - If the DPC Mode IE is present in the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message, the Node B shall apply the DPC mode indicated in the message, and be prepared that the DPC mode may be changed during the life time of the RL. If the DPC Mode IE is not present in the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message, DPC mode 0 shall be applied (see ref. [10]).]]
[TDD – The Node B shall start the DL transmission using the initial DL power specified in the message on each DL DPCH and on each Time Slot of the RL until the UL synchronisation on the Uu is achieved for the RL. No inner loop power control shall be performed during this period. The DL power shall then vary according to the inner loop power control (see ref.[22], subclause 4.2.3.3), but shall always be kept within the maximum and minimum limit specified in the RL SETUP REQUEST message.]
[TDD – If the [3.84Mcps TDD - DL Time Slot ISCPInfo IE] or [1.28Mcps TDD - DL Timeslot ISCP LCR IE] is present, the Node B shall use the indicated value when deciding the initial DL TX Power for each timeslot as specified in [21], i.e. it shall reduce the DL TX power in those downlink timeslots of the radio link where the interference is low, and increase the DL TX power in those timeslots where the interference is high, while keeping the total downlink power in the radio link unchanged].
[FDD – If the received Inner Loop DL PC Status IE is set to "Active", the Node B shall activate the inner loop DL power control for all RLs. If Inner Loop DL PC Status IE is set to "Inactive", the Node B shall deactivate the inner loop DL power control for all RLs according to ref. [10]]
General:
[FDD – If the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message includes the SSDT Cell Identity IE and the S-Field Length E, the Node B shall activate SSDT, if supported, using the SSDT Cell Identity IE and SSDT Cell Identity Length IE.]
[FDD – Irrespective of SSDT activation, the Node B shall include in the RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE message an indication concerning the capability to support SSDT on this RL. Only if the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message requested SSDT activation and the RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE message indicates that the SSDT capability is supported for this RL, SSDT is activated in the Node B.]
[FDD - If the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message includes the SSDT Cell Identity for EDSCHPC IE, the Node B shall activate enhanced DSCH power control, if supported, using the SSDT Cell Identity for EDSCHPC IE and SSDT Cell Identity Length IE as well as Enhanced DSCH PC IE in accordance with ref. [10] subclause 5.2.2. If the RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message includes both SSDT Cell Identity IE and SSDT Cell Identity for EDSCHPC IE, then the Node B shall ignore the value in SSDT Cell Identity for EDSCHPC IE. If the enhanced DSCH power control is activated and the TFCI power control in DSCH hard split mode is supported, the primary/secondary status determination in the enhanced DSCH power control is also applied to the TFCI power control in DSCH hard split mode.]
[FDD – Radio Link Set Handling]:
[FDD – The First RLS Indicator IE indicates if the concerning RL shall be considered part of the first RLS established towards this UE. The First RLS Indicator IE shall be used by the Node B together with the value of the DL TPC pattern 01 count IE which the Node B has received in the Cell Setup procedure, to determine the initial TPC pattern in the DL of the concerning RL and all RLs which are part of the same RLS, as described in [10], section 5.1.2.2.1.2.]
[FDD – For each RL not having a common generation of the TPC commands in the DL with another RL, the Node B shall assign the RL Set ID IE included in the RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE message a value that uniquely identifies the RL Set within the Node B Communication context.]
[FDD – For all RLs having a common generation of the TPC commands in the DL with another RL, the Node B shall assign the RL Set ID IE included in the RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE message the same value. This value shall uniquely identify the RL Set within the Node B Communication context.]

• Rel’ 5- and Release 99 (or Rel’ 4)-Node Bs may be configured in the same active set. In this case, while flexible TFCI power offset would be set in the Rel’ 5-Node Bs, fixed power offset would be set in the Release 99 (or Rel’ 4)-Node Bs. This does not cause any problem to network operation. By using TFCI PC Support Indicator IE in the RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE, RADIO LINK SETUP FAILURE, RADIO LINK ADDITION RESPONSE and RADIO LINK ADDITION FAILURE messages, SRNC knows which cell in the active set is using flexible TFCI power offset.
Consequently, the TFCI power control procedure in the DSCH hard split mode is backward compatible with Release 99 and REL-4.
===================== End of the WG 3 part ============================= |
83726f0f79dd0b5bad7d922a555d137b | 25.870 | 5.5 Backward Compatibility | 5.5.1 DSCH power offset
In the current specification, the DSCH power offset is described as information element in the Iub specification (Frame Protocol) [3].
The indicated value is the offset relative to the power of the TFCI bits of the downlink DPCCH directed to the same UE as the DSCH.
From the above description, the power level of the DSCH is based on the PO1, which is the time-invariant TFCI power offset relative to the DPDCH power in Release 99 and Rel’4. Since the TFCI power offset may vary in time with the proposed scheme, clarification as regard to the DSCH power offset is required. If the power level of the DSCH is based on the flexible TFCI power, the flexible DSCH power offset should be used for the DSCH power control as in Release 99 and Rel’4. Thus, there is no backward compatibility problem regarding DSCH power offset.
5.5.2 Rel’ 5-Node Bs and Release 99 (or Rel’ 4)-Node Bs in the same active set
Rel’ 5- and Release 99 (or Rel’ 4)-Node Bs may be configured in the same active set. In this case, while flexible TFCI power offset would be set in the Rel’ 5-Node Bs, fixed power offset would be set in the Release 99 (or Rel’ 4)-Node Bs. This does not cause any problem to network operation.
5.5.3 Backward compatibility issues in UE
It is clear that Release 99 (or Rel’ 4)- UEs operate in Rel’ 5 Node Bs and Rel’ 5-UEs operate with Release 99 (or Rel’ 4)-Node Bs where the proposed schemes are not available. Therefore, there is no backward compatibility problem.
Appendix (Informative)
• IFHT Algorithm for supporting the flexible length
When the number of information bits is less than 6 ( k < 6 ), there are some alternatives to decode the received data efficiently. In fact, it doesn’t matter if we do not use the following structure for decoding. The following structure only provides an example of efficient decoding scheme.
When the number of information bits < 6, only the first IFHT is performed. But, this structure is so loose in terms of the number of operation because the first IFHT with 32x32 size is always fully performed for each k < 6 case. Actually, it is desirable to use IFHT with size 2kx2k for each k. That is, it is desirable to use IFHT with the flexible size. Therefore, the flexible IFHT can be used as shown in Fig A1.
Fig A1. Flexible IFHT Structure
Fig. A1 describes the overall structure of the flexible IFHT. Generally, 2kx2k IFHT performance consists of k stages. For example, 32x32 IFHT consists of 5 stages. Hence, by using this property, the size of IFHT can be varied adaptively. That is, if 2 stages out of 5 stages are performed, then 4x4 IFHT is effectively calculated, and if 3 stages out of 5 stages are performed, then 8x8 IFHT is effectively calculated, and so on. This is called “Nested Property”. Fig A.1 is a well-designed structure based on this “Nested Property”. But this structure requires some new circuits in each stage, instead of the well-known “Butterfly Logic”, because “Butterfly Logic” is not suited for “Nested Property”. The new circuit suited for “Nested Property” is as shown in Fig A.2.
Fig A2. Circuit of Stage
• Implementation of mapping rule
In this section, we describe the method to implement the mapping rule. Actually, instead of the formula, it may be very useful to use a mask for presenting the transmission position that is calculated according to the position calculation method described above. That is, we define as follows:
• “0” means that the coded symbol of TFCI for DSCH is holding, not transmitted, and that of TFCI for DCH is transmitted.
• “1” means that the coded symbol of TFCI for DCH is holding, not transmitted, and that of TFCI for DSCH is transmitted.
By using such presentation, mask patterns for all case are as shown in the following table A1.
TFCIDCH : TFCIDSCH

Table A1. Masks for mapping position
We see an example to transmit the coded symbol. Before this, we define the i-th output coded symbol after puncturing for DCH as d1,i and the k-th outputted coded symbol after puncturing for DSCH as d2,k.
In 3 : 7 case, the first bit in mask for mapping rule is 0. Hence, the first coded symbol d2,0 of TFCI for DSCH is holding, not transmitted, and the coded symbol d1,0 of TFCI for DCH is transmitted. The second bit in mask for mapping rule is 0. Hence, the first coded symbol d2,0 of TFCI for DSCH which is not transmitted is holding again, not transmitted, and the coded symbol d1,1 of TFCI for DCH is transmitted. The third bit in mask for mapping rule is 1. Hence, the coded symbol d1,2 of TFCI for DCH is held, not transmitted, and the coded symbol d2,0 of TFCI for DSCH is transmitted. And so on.
According to this operation, the output symbol after symbol mapping is as following Fig A3.

1cc4b09fd057c9a5cf925fb9b5a5f4e7 | 25.945 | 4.1.1.1 Introduction | After a UE has switch on and a PLMN has been selected, the cell selection process takes place. This process allows the UE to select a suitable cell where to camp on in order to access available services. In this process the UE can use stored information (stored information cell selection) or not (initial cell selection) |
1cc4b09fd057c9a5cf925fb9b5a5f4e7 | 25.945 | 4.1.2 Cell Re-Selection | |
1cc4b09fd057c9a5cf925fb9b5a5f4e7 | 25.945 | 4.1.2.1 Introduction | The cell re-selection procedure allows the UE to select a more suitable cell and camp on it.
When the UE is in Normally Camped state it shall attempt to detect, synchronise and monitor cells indicated in the measurement control system information of the serving cell. If the occasions/triggers occur, as specified in 25.304, the UE shall perform the Cell Re-selection Evaluation process. |

1cc4b09fd057c9a5cf925fb9b5a5f4e7 | 25.945 | 4.1.2.2.1 Measurement and evaluation of cell selection criteria S of serving cell | The UE shall measure the PCCPCH RSCP level of the serving cell and evaluate the cell selection criterion S defined in TS 25.304 [8] for the serving cell once per DRX cycle. The UE shall filter the PCCPCH RSCP level of the serving cell using at least 2 measurements, which are taken so that the time difference between the measurements is at least TmeasureNTDD/2 (see table 4.1).
If the UE has evaluated in Nserv successive measurements that the serving cell does not fulfill the cell selection criterion S the UE shall initiate the measurements of all neighbour cells indicated in the measurement control system information, regardless of the measurement rules currently limiting UE measurement activities.
If the UE has not found any new suitable cell based the on searches and measurements of the neighbour cells indicated in the measurement control system information for [TBD] s, the UE shall initiate cell selection procedures for the selected PLMN as defined in TS 25.304 [8]. |
1cc4b09fd057c9a5cf925fb9b5a5f4e7 | 25.945 | 4.1.2.2.2 Measurement of intra-frequency cells | The UE shall measure PCCPCH RSCP at least every TmeasureNTDD (see table 4.1) for intra-frequency cells that are detected and measured according to the measurement rules. TmeasureNTDD is defined in Table 4.1. The UE shall filter PCCPCH RSCP measurements of each measured intra-frequency cell using at least 2 measurements, which are taken so that the time difference between the measurements is at least TmeasureNTDD/2.
The filtering shall be such that the UE shall be capable of evaluating that an intra-frequency cell has become better than the serving cell within TevaluateNTDD (see table 4.1), from the moment the intra-frequency cell became at least [2]dB better ranked than the current serving cell, provided that Treselection timer is set to zero and PCCPCH RSCP is used as measurement quantity for cell reselection.
If parameter Treselection has value different from zero, the UE shall evaluate an intra-frequency cell better than the serving cell during the Treselection time, before the UE shall reselect the new cell. |
1cc4b09fd057c9a5cf925fb9b5a5f4e7 | 25.945 | 4.1.2.2.3 Measurement of 1.28 Mcps TDD inter-frequency cells | The UE shall measure PCCPCH RSCP at least every (Ncarrier-1) * TmeasureNTDD (see table 4.1) for inter-frequency cells that are detected and measured according to the measurement rules. The parameter Ncarrier is the number of carriers used for NTDD cells. The maximum number of carriers is [3] including the carrier the UE is camped on. The UE shall filter PCCPCH RSCP measurements of each measured inter-frequency cell using at least 2 measurements, which are taken so that the time difference between the measurements is at least TmeasureNTDD/2.
The filtering of PCCPCH RSCP shall be such that the UE shall be capable of evaluating that an already detected inter-frequency cell has become better ranked than the serving cell within (Ncarrier-1) * TevaluateNTDD from the moment the inter-frequency cell became at least [3]dB better than the current serving cell provided that Treselection timer is set to zero. For non-detected inter-frequency cells, the filtering shall be such that the UE shall be capable of evaluating that inter-frequency cell has become better ranked than the serving cell within 30s from the moment the inter-frequency cell became at least [3]dB better than the current serving cell provided that Treselection timer is set to zero.
If Treselection timer has a value different from zero, the UE shall evaluate an inter-frequency cell better than the serving cell during the Treselection time, before the UE shall reselect the new cell. |

The ranking of the low and high chip rate TDD cells shall be made according to the cell reselection criteria specified in TS 25.304 [8]. The use of mapping functions is indicated in the broadcast.
The UE shall measure PCCPCH RSCP at least every NTDDcarrier * TmeasureTDD (see table 4.1) for inter-frequency cells that are detected and measured according to the measurement rules. The parameter Ncarrier is the number of carriers used for 3.84 Mcps TDD cells. The maximum number of carriers is 3.The UE shall filter PCCPCH RSCP measurements of each measured high chip rate TDD cell using at least 2 measurements, which are taken so that the time difference between the measurements is at least TmeasureTDD/2.
The filtering of PCCPCH RSCP shall be such that the UE shall be capable of evaluating that a high chip rate TDD cell has become better ranked than the serving cell within NTDDcarrier * TevaluateTDD from the moment the inter-frequency cell became at least [3] better ranked than the current serving cell provided that Treselection timer is set to zero. For non-detected inter-frequency cells, the filtering shall be such that the UE shall be capable of evaluating that inter-frequency cell has become better ranked than the serving cell within 30s from the moment the inter-frequency cell became at least [3]dB better than the current serving cell provided that Treselection timer is set to zero. |
1cc4b09fd057c9a5cf925fb9b5a5f4e7 | 25.945 | 4.1.2.4 FDD Cell re-selection | This requirement only applies to UEs supporting this mode.
The UE shall measure the signal level CPICH RSCP of each FDD neighbour cell indicated in the measurement control system information of the serving cell, according to the measurement rules defined in TS 25.304 [8], at least every TmeasureFDD (see table 4.1). The UE shall filter CPICH RSCP measurements of each measured inter-frequency cell using at least 2 measurements. The measurement samples for each cell shall be as far as possible uniformly distributed over the averaging period.
CPICH RSCP is used as measurement quantity for cell reselection, the filtering shall be such that the UE shall be capable of evaluating that an already detected inter-frequency cell has become better ranked than the serving cell within NFDDcarrier * TevaluateFDD from the moment the inter-frequency cell became at least [5]dB better than the current serving cell provided that Treselection timer is set to zero. For non-detected inter-frequency cells, the filtering shall be such that the UE shall be capable of evaluating that inter-frequency cell has become better ranked than the serving cell within 30s from the moment the inter-frequency cell became at least [5]dB better than the current serving cell provided that Treselection timer is set to zero.
The ranking of the cells shall be made according to the cell reselection criteria specified in TS 25.304. The use of mapping functions is indicated in the broadcast. |
1cc4b09fd057c9a5cf925fb9b5a5f4e7 | 25.945 | 4.1.3 Measurement of inter-RAT GSM cells | These requirements only apply to UEs supporting GSM.
The UE shall measure the signal level of each GSM neighbour cell indicated in the measurement control system information of the serving cell, according to the measurement rules defined in TS 25.304 [8], at least every TmeasureGSM (see table 4.1). The UE shall maintain a running average of 4 measurements for each cell. The measurement samples for each cell shall be as far as possible uniformly distributed over the averaging period.
The UE shall attempt to verify the BSIC for each of the 4 best ranked GSM BCCH carriers (the best ranked according to the cell reselection criteria defined in TS 25.304 [8]) at least every 30 seconds if GSM cells are measured according to the measurement rules. If a change of BSIC is detected for one GSM cell then that GSM BCCH carrier shall be treated as a new GSM neighbour cell.
If the UE detects a BSIC, which is not indicated in the measurement control system information, the UE shall not consider that GSM BCCH carrier in cell reselection. The UE also shall not consider the GSM BCCH carrier in cell reselection, if the UE can not demodulate the BSIC of that GSM BCCH carrier. |
1cc4b09fd057c9a5cf925fb9b5a5f4e7 | 25.945 | 4.1.4 Evaluation of cell reselection criteria | The UE shall evaluate the cell re-selection criteria defined in TS 25.304 [8]for the cells, which have new measurement results available, at least every DRX cycle.
Cell reselection shall take place immediately after the UE has found a better suitable cell unless the UE has made cell reselection within the last 1 second. |
1cc4b09fd057c9a5cf925fb9b5a5f4e7 | 25.945 | 4.1.5 Maximum interruption time in paging reception | UE shall perform the cell re-selection with minimum interruption in monitoring downlink channels for paging reception.

1cc4b09fd057c9a5cf925fb9b5a5f4e7 | 25.945 | 4.2.1 TDD/TDD Handover | The requirements apply for 1.28 Mcps and 3.84 Mcps handover. |
1cc4b09fd057c9a5cf925fb9b5a5f4e7 | 25.945 | 4.2.1.1 Introduction | The purpose of TDD/TDD handover is to change the cell of the connection between UE and UTRAN. The handover procedure is initiated from UTRAN with a RRC message that implies a handover. The handover procedure may cause the UE to change its frequency.
The handover process should be implemented in both the UE and UTRAN. The UE measurements and which radio links the UE shall use is controlled by UTRAN with RRC signaling. For the handover preparation the UE receives from the UTRAN a list of cells (e.g. 1.28 Mcps TDD, or GSM). Which the UE shall monitor (see 'monitored set' in 3GPP TS 25.331 [9]) in its idle timeslots.
At the beginning of the measurement process the UE shall find synchronization to the cell to measure using the synchronization channel (DwPCH). This is described under 'cell search' in 3GPP TR 25.928 [10] ' if the monitored cell is a 1.28 Mcps TDD cell.For a TDD cell to monitor after this procedure the exact timing of the midamble of the P-CCPCH is known and the measurements can be performed. Depending on the UE implementation and if timing information about the cell to monitor is available, the UE may perform the measurements on the P-CCPCH directly without prior DwPCH synchronization. |
1cc4b09fd057c9a5cf925fb9b5a5f4e7 | 25.945 | 4.2.1.2 Requirements | Requirements for 3.84 Mcps are only applicable if high chip rate TDD is supported by the UE. |
1cc4b09fd057c9a5cf925fb9b5a5f4e7 | 25.945 | 4.2.1.2.1 Handover delay | Procedure delay for all procedures, that can command a hard handover, are specified in TS 25.331 [9].
When the UE receives a RRC message that implies a handover, with the activation time "now" or earlier than Dhandover seconds from the end of the last TTI containing the RRC command,,the UE shall start transmission within Dhandover seconds from the end of the last TTI containing the RRC command.
If the access is delayed to an indicated activation time later than Dhandover seconds from the end of the last TTI containing the RRC command, the UE shall be ready to start the transmission of the new uplink DPCH at the designated activation time.
where:
Dhandover equals the RRC procedure delay defined in TS 25.331 [9] Section 13.5.2 plus the interruption time stated in section 4.2.1.2.2. |
