4.7.0 Introduction
Massive MIMO optimization is one of the top priority use cases in O-RAN. Several massive MIMO sub-features have been proposed and studied during the massive MIMO pre-normative study, which is documented in the O-RAN.WG1.MMIMO-USE-CASES-TR-v00.13 [i.3], including the potential data requirements for each of the sub-use c...

4.7.1.1 Background and goal of the use case
Massive MIMO (mMIMO) is among the key methods to increase performance and QoS in 5G networks. Capacity enhancement is obtained by means of beamforming of the transmitted signals, and by spatially multiplexing data streams. Beamforming can increase the received signal power and simultaneously decrease the interference g...

4.7.3.1.1 MIMO downlink transmit power optimization
For general downlink precoding, the downlink transmit power is usually evenly distributed across the UEs. However, depending on the UE separability and path loss deltas, this can result in good cell capacity at the expense of individual UE quality. This can be due to several issues such as cell edge UEs having general ...

4.7.3.1.2 MU-MIMO pairing enhancement (user separability)
Existing channel orthogonality between multiple users is critical to create user separability and allow for the opportunity to share radio frequency resources simultaneously. Failing this, residual interference will be too high to maintain adequate post pairing radio link signal quality levels required to sustain MU-MI...

Key to such realization is the successful beamforming weight determination that enables no...

1 Scope
This Technical Specification (TS) specifies the technical realization of the handling of calls originated by a GSM mobile subscriber and calls directed to a GSM mobile subscriber, up to the point where the call is established. Normal release of the call after establishment is also specified. The handling of DTMF signal...

4 Architecture
Subclauses 4.1 and 4.2 show the architecture for handling a basic MO call and a basic MT call. A basic mobile-to- mobile call is treated as the concatenation of an MO call and an MT call.

4.1 Architecture for an MO call
A basic mobile originated call involves signalling between the MS and its VMSC via the BSS, between the VMSC and the VLR and between the VMSC and the destination exchange, as indicated in figure 1. MS VMSCA VLRA VPLMNA Radio I/F signalling SIFOC Complete call IAM (ISUP) BSSA 'A' I/F signalling Figure 1: Architecture fo...

4.2 Architecture for an MT call
A basic mobile terminated call involves signalling as indicated in figure 2. Communication between VMSCB and the MS is via the BSS, as for the mobile originated case. The IPLMN, containing GMSCB, is in principle distinct from HPLMNB, containing HLRB, but the practice for at least the majority of current GSM networks is...

5.1 Information flow for an MO call
An example information flow for an MO call is shown in figure 3; many variations are possible. Signalling over the radio interface between MSA and BSSA or VMSCA is shown by dotted lines; signalling over the "A" interface between BSSA and VMSCA is shown by dashed lines; signalling over the B interface between VMSCA and ...
