2 Overview
If some GSM sites that can share spectral resources with UMTS sites cover continuous areas,
these areas form a spectrum sharing region, and these GSM sites act as a whole when sharing
or reclaiming spectral resources.
This document addresses the following features:
l MRFD-211802 GSM and UMTS Dynamic Spectrum Sharing(GSM) and MRFD-221802
GSM and UMTS Dynamic Spectrum Sharing(UMTS)
l MRFD-211803 Dynamic MA for GU Dynamic Spectrum Sharing(GSM) and

MRFD-211803 Dynamic MA for GU Dynamic Spectrum Sharing(GSM) and MRFD-221803
Dynamic MA for GU Dynamic Spectrum Sharing(UMTS) are collectively called dynamic
MA features.
Dynamic MA features depend on GSM and UMTS DSS:
l When enabling GSM and UMTS DSS, you can choose to enable dynamic MA features
or not.
l Before enabling dynamic MA features, you must enable GSM and UMTS DSS.
2.1 Introduction
With GSM and UMTS dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS), a GSM network dynamically shares
spectrums with and reclaims spectrums from a UMTS network depending on their traffic
volumes if they provide the same coverage.
GSM and UMTS DSS introduces the following concepts:
l Spectrum sharing region: An area in which BTS candidates for DSS provide continuous
coverage.
l DSS BTS: A GSM base station in a spectrum sharing region. DSS BTSs share or reclaim
spectrums simultaneously.
l DSS cell: A UMTS cell using the shared spectrum.
l Shared carrier: A carrier a GSM network shares with a UMTS network when the GSM
network is lightly loaded. The DSSTRXOFFLINE (BSC6900, BSC6910) parameter is
set to YES for shared carriers.
For details about MA and FH, see GSM BSS Frequency Hopping Feature Parameter Description.
l Timeslot group: A collection of timeslots with the same timeslot number on different
carriers.
2.2 Benefits
UMTS has higher spectral efficiency than GSM. Therefore, this feature increases data
throughput and decreases the expenditure on data services.
The DSS conditions are as follows: Within the period of time specified by the
DSSSHSTATTM (BSC6910, BSC6900) parameter, the following inequation is true:
Number of channels available for cells - Current maximum number of busy channels - 16 x N
≥ DSSSHRIDLECHTH (BSC6910, BSC6900)
where
l The number of channels available for cells and the current maximum number of busy
channels are taken from TCHHs. One TCHF is counted as two TCHHs.
l The value 16 means 16 TCHHs per carrier.
l N indicates the number of shared carriers, that is, the number of carriers for which
DSSTRXOFFLINE (BSC6900, BSC6910) is set to YES.
– If dynamic MA for GSM and UMTS DSS (dynamic MA for short) has not been
activated, N is the number of carriers configured for cells minus 1. On the GSM
side, the DSSTRXOFFLINE (BSC6900, BSC6910) parameter is set to YES for
carriers other than BCCH carriers.
– If dynamic MA needs to be activated, the value of N must be determined by
Huawei professional service personnel based on the actual spectral resources and
traffic volume.
l The DSSSHRIDLECHTH (BSC6900, BSC6910) parameter is a threshold for the
number of idle channels. When the number of idle channels in a cell is equal to or greater
than the value of this parameter, the BSC regards the cell as idle.
Based on the fact that there are six idle TCHHs per basic carrier, the
DSSSHRIDLECHTH (BSC6900, BSC6910) parameter should be configured to
(number of carriers for the cell – N) x 6.
NOTE
The number of channels available to cells and the current maximum number of busy channels do not
include the number of BCCHs and SDCCHs.
In a spectrum sharing region, DSS is triggered only if all cells in the spectrum sharing region meet the
conditions.
1. The U2000 checks whether the spectrum sharing region meets the conditions for
spectrum reclamation.
Upon receipt of a spectrum reclamation command from the BSC, the U2000, based on
the reclamation type, determines whether spectrum reclamation can be performed for the
spectrum sharing region.
– Emergency spectrum reclamation: If one DSS BTS in the spectrum sharing region
triggers emergency reclamation, all other DSS BTSs in the spectrum sharing region
must also reclaim spectral resources.
– Normal spectrum reclamation: If one DSS BTS in the spectrum sharing region
triggers normal reclamation, the DSS BTSs in the reclamation state in the spectrum
sharing region trigger reclamation only if the following inequation is true: Number
of DSS BTSs that have received reclamation instructions/Total number of DSS
BTSs in the spectrum sharing region ≥ Proportion of DSS BTSs that trigger
reclamation The proportion of DSS BTSs that trigger reclamation is configurable on
the U2000.
2. The RNC periodically hand overs UEs in the DSS cells to basic cells.
The RNC performs normal and emergency spectrum reclamation as follows:
– Normal reclamation
As shown in Figure 3-3, the RNC hands over UEs in the DSS cells to inter-
frequency cells and then to inter-RAT cells.
i. Handing over UEs to inter-frequency cells
During the period of time specified by DeaDSSInterFreqHOTimer, the RNC
hands over UEs to inter-frequency cells at intervals specified by
DeaDSSHOPeriodTimer. The number of UEs handed over is specified by
DeaDSSPeriodHOUserNumThrd.
ii. Handing over UEs to inter-RAT cells
After the timer DeaDSSInterFreqHOTimer expires, the RNC hands over UEs
to inter-RAT cells in the period of time specified by
DeaDSSInterRATHOTimer at intervals specified by
DeaDSSHOPeriodTimer. When the protective duration for inter-RAT
handovers in spectrum reclamation expires, the sharing cells are forcibly shut
down.
– Emergency reclamation
Within the period of time specified by UrgentDeaDSSHOTimer, blind handovers
are performed to move UEs out of DSS cells.
The U2000 waits until the RNC reports that all DSS cells in the spectrum sharing
regions reported by all RNCs have been successfully deactivated. Then, the U2000
instructs the BSC to activate carriers.
3. The BSC starts a timer.
Upon receipt of a carrier activation message from the U2000, the BSC starts a timer. The
timer prevents the GSM network and the UMTS network from occupying the shared
spectral resources at the same time.
– In normal reclamation, the timer length is specified by DSSBAKNORMPCTM
(BSC6900, BSC6910). The value of DSSBAKNORMPCTM (BSC6900, BSC6910)
must be greater than the sum of DeaDSSInterFreqHOTimer and
DeaDSSInterRATHOTimer configured on the UMTS side.
– In emergency reclamation, the timer length is specified by DSSBAKURGPCTM
(BSC6900, BSC6910). The value of DSSBAKURGPCTM (BSC6900, BSC6910)
must be greater than that of UrgentDeaDSSHOTimer configured on the UMTS
side.
4. A timer specified by DSSSHFBTM (BSC6900, BSC6910) is started to prevent frequent
switchovers between spectrum sharing and reclaiming caused by traffic fluctuations
Spectrum sharing is not allowed until the timer expires.
3.2.3 Reliability
The BSC and the RNC need to communicate through the U2000. To prevent the BSC and the
RNC from occupying spectral resources at the same time and to ensure that the BSC can
promptly reclaim spectral resources when a fault occurs, the U2000 sends check messages to
perform periodic status checks with the RNC and the BSC. The period length is specified by
DSSHANDSHAKE (BSC6900, BSC6910).
Table 3-1 lists the types of faults, for which the BSC/RNC or U2000 triggers emergency
spectrum reclaiming.
Communication fails l For the NE that has proper communication with the U2000,
between the U2000 and emergency spectrum reclaiming is triggered by the U2000.
either of the NEs (BSC l For the NE that has poor communication with the U2000,
and RNC). emergency spectrum reclaiming is triggered by the NE.
If the spectral resources sharing status expected by the U2000 is not consistent with the
spectral resources sharing status on the BSC, the spectral resources sharing status on the BSC
prevails. If the spectral resources sharing status expected by the U2000 is not consistent with
the spectral resources sharing status on the RNC, the spectral resources sharing status
expected by the U2000 prevails.
After completing the checks, the U2000 sets the status for itself or RNC to the spectral
resources sharing status that prevails.
Table 3-2 describes mechanisms for processing different faults.
After the introduction of the feature dynamic MA for GSM and UMTS DSS (dynamic MA
for short), the BSC can release shared spectral resources once the traffic volume has
decreased to a level that two or three carriers can bear. This extends the sharing duration.
Dynamic MA is a feature that dynamically modifies the MAs used by carriers without
interrupting services during DSS and spectrum reclamation. During DSS, carriers only use
basic spectral resources. During spectrum reclamation, carriers use both basic spectral
resources and shared spectral resources
Figure 4-1 shows the dynamic MA conversion process.
on shared carriers no longer use shared carriers only but start to use both shared and
basic spectral resources.

6 Network Impact
Network Performance
l Impact on the GSM network
– More handovers
During DSS, UEs are handed over between carriers, leading to an increase in the
number of handovers in the cell.
– Higher call drop rate
During DSS, the amount of spectral resources available to GSM and the number of
frequencies in MA decrease. As a result, the probability of intra-system interference
increases. The increase in interference leads to a decrease in the quality of received
signals and an increase in the call drop rate.
– Lower drive test (DT) quality
During DSS, the amount of spectral resources available to GSM decreases. As a
result, the probability of intra-system interference increases. The increase in
interference leads to a decrease in the quality of received signals and a decrease in
DT quality.
– Higher congestion rate on the GSM side during DSS
– Lower throughput of data services during DSS due to a decrease in the amount of
spectral resources available to GSM
l Impact on the UMTS network
– More inter-frequency handovers
To direct services toward DSS cells during DSS, inter-frequency handovers are
performed so that services in basic cells are shifted to DSS cells. UEs in DSS cells
need to be handed over to basic cells during spectrum reclamation.
Network Performance
In dynamic MA, UEs engaged in calls are handed over to prevent call drops. This increases
the number of handovers. As to PS service, in dynamic MA, if physical downlink control
channel (PDCCH) is not available during the handovers, the PS service will be interrupted.
7 Engineering Guidelines
Before deploying GSM and UMTS DSS and dynamic MA, you need to purchase Huawei
professional services, which include RF planning and DSS task creation.
When GSM and UMTS DSS is enabled, the spectrum section available to GSM becomes narrower, and
therefore KPIs on the GSM side decrease by the same degree as they do during peak hours.

7.1.3 Planning
RF Planning
l Planning the spectrum sharing region
Before enabling DSS, obtain information about the spectral resources, traffic volume,
and carrier configuration on the GSM side. Based on this information, calculate the GSM
DSS threshold. Then, calculate the DSS duration at each site based on the GSM DSS
threshold. Finally, determine the spectrum sharing region based on the DSS duration for
each site.
l Planning spectral resources in buffer zones
After DSS is enabled, intra-frequency interference may exist between MSs and NodeBs
and between UEs and BTSs. This affects the GSM and UMTS network performance. In
extreme cases, this may lead to increased call drop rate and reduced throughput or even
cause UEs and MSs to be unable to initiate services. To alleviate intra-frequency
interference, a guard band, also called a buffer zone, is introduced between GSM and
UMTS intra-frequency sites.
In buffer zones, both basic and shared spectral resources can be used before DSS is
enabled, whereas only basic spectral resources can be used after DSS is enabled.
l Spectrum resource planning principles
Before enabling DSS, replan spectral resources. Spectrum resource replanning involves
the following:
– Plan the basic and shared spectral resources. The BCCH frequencies must be within
the basic spectrum, the TCH frequencies can be within the basic spectrum, and all
the frequencies in the shared spectrum must be TCH frequencies.
– Plan the spectrum sharing region. To avoid repeated spectrum resource replanning
due to changes in the spectrum sharing region, replan spectral resources for all
possible DSS sites. Also, plan spectral resources for the sites around the spectrum
sharing region.
During spectrum resource replanning, select the spectrum containing the original
BCCH frequencies as the basic spectrum whenever possible.
l Frequency planning scheme (not using dynamic MA)
In DSS scenarios, the frequency planning scheme is Gx<->G1. Here, x indicates the
number of configured GSM carriers before DSS is enabled, and 1 indicates the number
of GSM carriers after DSS is enabled.
In the Gx<->G1 frequency planning scheme, the BCCH frequencies must belong to the
basic spectrum, and the TCH frequencies must belong to the shared spectrum. As shown
in Figure 7-1, base stations adopt multiple configuration patterns (S222/S333/S444/
S555/S666) before DSS is enabled. After DSS is enabled, all the base stations in the
buffer zones and spectrum sharing region adopt the S111 configuration.
Figure 7-1 Gx<->G1 frequency planning before and after DSS is enabled
For the Gx<->G1 frequency planning scheme, spectral resources should be properly planned
before and after DSS is enabled:
l If the remaining spectral resources are sufficient after DSS is enabled (for example, the
spectrum is 10 MHz before DSS is enabled and the basic spectrum is 5 MHz after DSS is
enabled) and the GSM traffic volume is high in peak hours before DSS is enabled, the
BCCH frequencies should occupy only part of the basic spectrum. The purpose is to
ensure that the GSM frequency reuse pattern before DSS is enabled is similar to the
pattern after DSS is enabled and to ensure that TCH frequencies adopt loose frequency
reuse patterns before DSS is enabled. The advantage of this frequency planning scheme
is that the network quality remains almost unchanged before DSS is enabled and before
spectral resources are replanned. The disadvantage is that the basic spectrum is not fully
used after DSS is enabled.
l If the remaining spectral resources are insufficient after DSS is enabled and only a few
GSM carriers are configured before DSS is enabled, the basic spectrum can be fully
used. This ensures that spectral resources are properly used before and after DSS is
enabled.
l Frequency planning scheme (using dynamic MA)
The frequency planning scheme is Gx<->Gy when dynamic MA is used. Here, x
indicates the number of configured GSM carriers before DSS is enabled, and y indicates
the number of GSM carriers after DSS is enabled.
In the Gx<->Gy frequency planning scheme, the BCCH frequencies must be within the
basic spectrum, the shared spectrum consists of only TCH frequencies, and the TCH
frequencies can be within the basic spectrum. As shown in Figure 7-2, base stations
adopt multiple configuration patterns (S222/S333/S444/S555/S666) before DSS is
enabled. After DSS is enabled, all the base stations in the buffer zones and spectrum
sharing region adopt the S222/S333/S444 configuration.

Hardware Planning
A UMTS DSS cell needs to be added. This cell is configured on the same multi-mode RF
module as GSM carriers. The transmit power of the UMTS DSS cell must meet the power
specification of the multi-mode RF module. In addition, the transmit power of the GSM
carriers must not decrease after the UMTS DSS cell is added. If the hardware cannot meet the
transmit power requirement of the UMTS DSS cell, a new multi-mode RF module needs to be
added.

7.1.4.2 Precautions
While DSS is being enabled, services are not interrupted. During DSS, KPIs are affected. For
details about the impact, see chapter 6 Network Impact.
After the DSS feature is activated, cell setup can be performed only when the periodic status
check between the U2000 and the RNC is passed in RNC upgrade scenarios. The period is
specified by DSSHANDSHAKE. ALM-22206 UMTS Cell Setup Failed is not reported
during this period of time. The DSS status can be checked by running the DSP UCELL
command.
DSS cells can be set up on the RNC side only if the following conditions are both met:
l The GU DSS feature has been activated on the RNC, BSC, and U2000 sides.
l GSM spectrums are available for UMTS.

of these counters are roughly equal to what they are during busy hours.
Step 1 Check whether the number of DSS requests (corresponding to the counter whose ID is
1282431648) under any site is 0. If so, the problem occurs because the cells of this site are
heavily loaded. In this case, lower the DSS threshold.
