3. RATIONALE FOR 2G/3G INTEROPERABILITY BSS FEATURES In large parts of the world, GSM / GPRS is the main mobile system: This is the “3G islands in the 2G sea” model. Most of the UMTS terminals are bi-mode 2G/3G terminals and 3G subscribers are also 2G subscribers. It is then very important for the Operator to be provided with all the necessary features to ensure efficient traffic /service sharing between 2G and 3 G. 3G towards 2G In this direction, 2G/3G inter-working means ensuring service continuity at the edge of the UMTS coverage. The following features can be identified: - 3G to 2G cell re-selection: Having no impact on the BSS (in this direction, cell re-selection is an UTRAN matter only), this feature will not be further detailed, - 3G to 2G handover. 2G towards 3G Allowing a mobile to go (back) to 3G is important, because: - From the End User perspective: - He has paid for 3G services, - From the 2G Operator perspective: - If he is also the 3G Operator of the End User, he does not want to keep needlessly in his 2G layer 3G capable terminals and he wants to satisfy his customer with enhanced 3G services, - If he is not the 3G Operator of the End User (e.g. national roaming, where a 2G incumbent operator offers its 2G coverage to a 3G new comer), he does not want to keep needlessly in its 2G layer those 3G capable terminals, as soon as they can be handled by this 3G network. - From the 3G Operator perspective: - He wants to get the maximum revenues from its 3G subscribers. 2G to 3G interoperability in idle mode aspects are taken into account through cell re-selection means. In a first approach, a solution could have been to rely only on the HPLMN re-selection procedure. However this approach, which has the advantage of simplicity, has two very important drawbacks:

Alcatel-Lucent

- The case where the Operator has the same PLMN code for its 2G and 3G networks can not be handled. - Even if the Operator has selected 2 different PLMN codes for its 2G and 3G networks, the HPLMN procedure is very slow (not better than 6 minutes, default value 60 minutes). Therefore 3G selection shall be based on a real cell re-selection capability, comparable to what already exists for 2G to 2G cell re-selection. The following features cover these aspect: - GSM to UMTS cell re-selection (15 48 20), - GPRS to UMTS cell re-selection triggered by MS (30 28 10), - 2G to TD-SCDMA cell re-selection (15 48 84). The Alcatel-Lucent system allows to parameterize the 2G to 3G cell re-selection features so that MS can re-select 3G as soon as a suitable 3G cell is found. Thanks to this “3G camping strategy”, the End User takes benefit from a quicker access time to 3G services, as its terminal is already camping in a 3G cell when the CS call or the PS session starts. In Dedicated Mode, handover from a GSM cell to UMTS can also be useful (see feature 15 48 40).

4. FEATURE DESCRIPTION 4.1 UMTS to GSM handover The feature provides the GSM network with the ability to support an incoming handover from a UMTS cell. As a synthesis, the already existing GSM handover procedures are almost completely re-used and the handover is seen by the BSS as a GSM inter-BSC handover. As a consequence, the feature relies mainly on the support of modifications brought to the existing interfaces (e.g.: the BSSMAP messages coming from a 3G MSC include a new cell identifier).

4.2 GSM to UMTS Cell Re-selection–GPRS to UMTS cell re-selection triggered by MS As seen from the BSS, the feature consists in broadcasting in the concerned GSM cells information on surrounding UMTS cells. These information are: - The list of frequencies used in the surrounding UMTS cells, - The radio parameters required for re-selecting a UMTS cell (see Parameters section). They are broadcast on BCCH, in SI2 ter. With these information the MS is able to operate a “blind” cell re-selection (Synchronizing with a UMTS frequency, the terminals is able to detect all its associated scrambling codes (one UTRAN FDD cell can be derived from one UMTS frequency plus one scrambling code)). It has to be particularly noted that the blind search technique simplifies 2G/3G operation. Indeed there is no need for exchanging scrambling codes between the 2G and the 3G networks. This advantage holds all the more true when the 2G and the 3G Operators are different, a typical example being 2G/3G national roaming (a 2G operator offering its 2G coverage to one or several 3G newcomers).

The feature is controlled by a parameter EN_2G_TO_3G_CELL_RESELECTION, on a per cell basis 1,

4.3 UMTS search deactivation during GPRS transfer The feature (30 28 12) is available from the B8 release onwards. 2G to 3G cell re-selection has no impact on MS performance when the MS is in idle mode. This is not the case when the MS performs a GPRS transfer, for two reasons: - The measurements that a bi-mode MS performs on the surrounding UMTS frequencies may disturb an on going GPRS transfer. - Cell re-selections triggered between a GSM and a UMTS cell take quite a long time and induce data transfer interruption highly perceived by the end user. To solve this issue, the Alcatel-Lucent BSS allows forbidding any GPRS to UMTS cell re-selection for an MS performing a GPRS transfer. Behavior of the feature when NC2 is not activated If the Qsearch parameter (broadcast in System Information) is different from “never search 3G cells”, each time a bi-mode terminal enters the Packet Transfer mode, the BSS sends a Packet Measurement Order message to this MS indicating that it shall not monitor anymore 3G cell (and thus shall not perform any cell re-selection towards a 3G cell). The MS reverts by itself to the behavior specified in the System Information (MS authorized to perform 3G search) at READY timer expiry. Behavior of the feature when the NC2 is activated In that case, to inhibit 3G measurements and re-selections, the feature uses the Packet Measurement Order message already sent to put the MS in NC2 mode. No additional message is sent. Two possibilities are offered to revert to original behavior, depending of NC2 parameterization.

Before B9MR4, this parameter is on a per BSS basis.

- At the end of the data transfer: in that case, the BSS uses the same Packet Measurement Order message to make revert the MS in NCO and to re-authorize 3G search. - At Ready timer expiry: In that case, the MS reverts alone to NC0 mode and 3G search activated mode simultaneously. Please refer to NC2 functional feature description for more details on NC2 implementation.

4.4 2G to 3G cell reselection when NC2 is activated 4.4.1 30 28 14: 2G to 3G cell re-selection in PTM when NC2 is activated This B10 feature (30 28 14) allows Dual mode MS performing a packet transfer to reselect a 3G cell even when the NC2 feature is activated. To do so, such MS in such cells are kept in NC0 at the start of the packet transfer. The feature allows to not prevent Dual Mode MS from re-selecting a 3G cell even during a packet transfer, while keeping the benefits of the NC2 feature for all other cases. This behavior corresponds to a new value of the EN_2G_TO_3G_CELL_RESELECTION parameter. As this parameter is settable on a per cell basis, the feature can be restricted to 2G cells having good 3G neighborhoods.

4.5 SI2 quater scheduling From the B9 release (feature 15 48 50), the 3G neighborhood information are conveyed in SI2quater on BCCH instead of SI2 ter. The SI2 quater coding is more efficient than SI2 ter then it allows the MSs to acquire and to refresh more quickly their knowledge of the 3G neighboring cells information. SI2quater message are sent on the Extended BCCH if the Extended BCCH has been enabled by the Operator, otherwise on the Normal BCCH.

4.6 Usage of CPICH/RSCP for GSM to UMTS cell re-selection This feature (15 48 54) is available from B10 onwards.

In a W-CDMA system, CPICH (Common Pilot Channel) Ec/No characterizes the interference level and is mostly determined by the system load, whereas CPICH RSCP (Received Signal Code Power) gives an indication about coverage (received level). Up to 3GPP Rel-4, the MS considered only CPICH Ec/No for 2G to 3G cell reselection. This lead to potential 2G to 3G cell reselection failures when the target 3G cell was lightly loaded (high CPICH Ec/No), but provided poor coverage (low CPICH RSCP). This can happen for example in deep indoor cases, where the in building penetration loss affects in the same way Ec and No (Ec/No = constant) while receiving level decreases. From 3GPP Rel-5 new parameters FDD_RSCPmin can be broadcast in System Information messages, so that the MS can use both CPICH Ec/N0 and RSCP criteria for cell reselection. An other new parameter (FDD_Qmin_Offset) can also be broadcast. •

FDD_RSCPmin gives the MS the minimum threshold of RSCP for UTRAN FDD cell re-selection.

•

FDD_Qmin_Offset is used to put some dBs in offset to FDD_Qmin value: the threshold is now (FDD_Qmin - FDD_Qmin_Offset). This allows the MS to use less constraining conditions on the Ec/No criteria, knowing that it can now also use a new criterion on RSCP.

The BSS broadcasts those parameters in SI2 Quarter. As defined in the Standards, 3GPP Rel-5 or later MS are obliged to use the new parameters. 3GPP Rel-4 (or below) MS can compute RSCP level automously. This feature can be activated/deactivated by the operator from the the OMC using the parameters EN_CPICH_2G_3G_Reselection.

4.7 Fast 3G re-selection at 2G call release This feature (15 48 58) is available from B10 onwards. The Fast 3G re-selection at 2G call release feature improves the cell reselections procedure towards 3G after a 2G call release, through a reduction of the signaling load in 2G. The initial strategy of many 2G/3G Operators seems to be 3G-camping, to allow Dual Mode MS to start a circuit call or a packet session in 3G as fast as possible. In this strategy, Dual Mode MS camp on 3G as soon as a suitable 3G cell is discovered.

According to previous 3GPP specifications, when a MS releases a call in a 2G cell, it shall camp on this cell. This induces an unnecessary LA/RA Updates in case the call terminates in a cell belonging to a LA different from the one of the initial cell and having 3G neighborhoods. Starting with 3GPP Rel-6, a new Information Element “Cell Selection Indicator after Release of all TCHs and SDCCH” is defined in the CHANNEL RELEASE message, indicating to the MS where camping shall be tried after Channel Release. This new IE may contain 2G or 3G cell/frequency list. For this feature, the Alcatel-Lucent BSS places in the IE the list of the 3G frequencies surrounding the 2G cell where the call has terminated. This feature is activated by the Operator at the OMC interface using the EN_FAST_3G_Reselection parameter.

4.8 Load based 3G handover filtering The feature (15 48 30) is available from the B9 release onwards. The feature increases the global efficiency of the network through load balancing improvements between 2G and 3G. Indeed it may happen that 3G to 2G handovers impact 2G load at a point that 2G only MS may not be served anymore. To avoid this situation, the BSS can be configured in such a way that it accepts only the handovers requested for Emergency reasons when the 2G target cell is too much loaded: then handovers requested for non Emergency (non “time critical”) reasons) are rejected. A cell is considered as too much loaded when its current load exceeds the value of the THR_CELL_LOAD_3G_REJECT parameter. An incoming 3G handover is seen as requested for Emergency reasons if the handover cause IE of the BSSAP Handover Request message has one of the following values: - Uplink quality, - Uplink strength, - Downlink quality, - Downlink strength,

- Distance.

An incoming 3G handover rejection is signaled by the BSS through the HANDOVER FAILURE message with the cause “no radio resource available”. In addition this message contains an indication of the load of the 2G cell. As defined in 3GPP R’5, the cell load is given in the UL and DL “Cell Load Information” IEs encoded in the “Inter-System Information Transparent Container” which is transparently routed by the MSC towards the serving RNC. Within this structure, Alcatel provides the “Cell Capacity Class” and “Cell Load” information. The UL and DL information are identical. The Cell Capacity Class is an O&M parameter changeable at the OMC-R. Then it is up to the UTRAN to decide on the usage of these informations (e.g. stop sending non critical handover towards this 2G cell for a while, in order to avoid unnecessary additional signaling load in both 2G and 3G systems).

4.9 Full 2G load reporting to UTRAN This B10 feature (15 48 32) enhances the feature 15 48 30. The BSS provides cell load information to the RNC also in case the handover coming from a 3G cell is accepted, in the HO Request Ack message.This feature improves the 3G knowledge of the 2G load. Then the UTRAN is in a better position to decide whether or not it can try a non-critical handover to 2G.

4.10 GSM to UMTS Handover This feature (15 48 40) is available from B9. Handover from GSM to UMTS can be useful, for example at the border of UMTS coverage in order to unload a bit more GSM cells. When the feature is activated, the BSS needs to broadcast in the concerned GSM cells information on surrounding UMTS cells. All information on the candidate 3G cells are transmitted to multimode mobiles, through SACCH channels.

Unlike cell re-selection, “blind” handover is not possible; therefore the 3G cells have to be identified in an unambiguous way (see parameters in Operation & Maintenance Chapter). A 3G cell is defined through its MCC, MNC, LAC, CI, and RNC. In each 2G cell where the feature is activated, information on neighbor 3G cells is broadcast; it encompasses the Radio Frequency, Scrambling Code and Diversity of these cells. It also indicates the measurements that multimode mobiles must report to the BSS. The MS report measurements (Ec/No) which are averaged in a sliding window and compared to a threshold in the BSS. A handover is systematically triggered for multimode MS which report a UTRAN cell with a sufficient signal strength. When several 3G cells are reported and candidate for handover, the 3G cell with the best radio conditions is chosen. Handover to 3G is always prioritized regarding handover to 2G. Handover to 3G is supported for TC H only (no handover to 3G from SDCCH ). In addition, the BSS handles the “Service Handover” IE (information element). - The MSC may inhibit the handover to 3G for some MS: In this case, the MSC informs the BSS through the “Service Handover” IE, transmitted in the ASSIGNMENT REQUEST and in the HANDOVER REQUEST messages. - If this element indicates “Handover to UTRAN shall not be performed”, then the BSS does not send any measurement information message to that MS, then avoiding the MS to search 3G cells.

4.11 2G to 3G handover based on 2G load and service criteria This B10 feature (15 48 42) improves the 2G to 3G handover feature (15 48 40). The decision to trigger a handover to 3G is refined, based on an extended analysis of the “SERVICE HANDOVER” field of the ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message, and on the load of the 2G serving cell:When the SERVICE HANDOVER field is “MS Shall not be handed over to 3G” or “MS should not be handed over to 3G”, then the MS is kept in the 2G serving cell.

•

When the SERVICE HANDOVER field is “MS should be handed over to 3G”, then the MS is handed over to 3G.

•

When the SERVICE HANDOVER field is missing or received with an unexpected value: For this case, 2 new parameters are introduced: THR_CELL_LOAD_3G_REQ and EN_2G_3G_HO_NO_SERVICE_HO. •

If the Serving GSM cell is not loaded, the MS is kept in this cell (The HO to 3G is not performed),

•

If the Serving GSM cell is loaded, the parameter EN_2G_3G_HO_NO_SERVICE_HO handles the choice between staying in GSM and triggering a handover to 3G.

Based on MSC indication given at call set-up, the feature allows for a better load sharing between 2G and 3G cells.

4.12 Compressed Inter-RAT HO INFO element The MS UTRAN Classmark message sent by MS at call set-up contains the INTER RAT HANDOVER IE (Radio Bearer and UE radio access capability) used by the RNC in case of 2G to 3G handover. The BSC places it in the HANDOVER REQUIRED message sent to the MSC: •

Either via the Source RNC to target RNC transparent information element in case of intersystem handover to 3G,

•

Or via the Old BSS to New BSS information element in case of inter-BSS handover, to be ready for a potential subsequent handover to 3G from this new BSS.

In 3GPP Rel-5, a compressed format of this IE has been introduced. This possibility is implemented in the B10 release (15 48 62). As the BSS does not decompress this element before transmitting it to the UTRAN, the feature is usable only if the UTRAN supports the compressed format. This is why it is activated by the Operator at the OMC interface using the EN_Compressed_Inter_RAT_Info parameter. The BSS indicates in the IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message whether the MS shall use the legacy format or the compressed format. A reduction of call set-up time of around 700 ms is expected for Dual Mode MS.

4.13 2G to TD-SCDMA cell re-selection Based on information provided on BCCH, this B10 feature (15 48 84) allows Dual Mode GSM/TDSCDMA mobiles to re-select a TD-SCDMA cell. The Feature behavior is quite similar to the FDD case. It is restricted to the Chinese market.
