2.1 Introduction
Overview
Voice services over adaptive multi-user channels on one slot (VAMOS) was introduced in GSM/ EDGE radio access network (GERAN) evolution and developed based on Multi-User Reusing One Slot (MUROS) technology. VAMOS expands GERAN network capacity without adding transceivers (TRXs) or frequencies. VAMOS is a technique used on Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) networks to increase voice capacity. It multiplexes two voice calls onto one voice channel, especially one half-rate traffic channel (TCHH). As shown in Figure 2-1, a high-order modulation scheme similar to quaternary phase shift keying (QPSK) works with orthogonal training sequence codes (TSCs) to multiplex the calls in the downlink, and Gaussian minimum shift-frequency keying (GMSK) is used to modulate signals in the uplink. The two subchannels use orthogonal TSCs to occupy the same voice channel. Huawei's VAMOS multiplexes two voice calls onto the same TCHH to double network capacity. Figure 2-1 VAMOS channel multiplexing in the uplink and downlink
Issue 02 (2013-06-30)
2 Overview
2.2 Benefits
VAMOS expands network capacity simply through a software upgrade, without changing the structure of a GSM network or adding TRXs. However, voice quality is slightly reduced due to mutual interference from multiplexed calls. According to 3GPP specifications, the quality standards for VAMOS-enabled networks are looser than those for traditional GSM networks. No VAMOS MSs are now available for commercial use. Therefore, the gains from VAMOS depend on the penetration rate of SAIC MSs. Table 2-1 lists the mapping between frequency reuse patterns and VAMOS capacity gains. As shown in the table, VAMOS brings considerable gains in a network that use a loose frequency reuse pattern and has a large penetration rate of SAIC MSs. Table 2-1 Mapping between frequency reuse patterns and VAMOS capacity gains Frequency Reuse Pattern 4x3 SAIC MS Penetration Rate 50% 75% 100% 3x3 50% 75% 100% 1x3 50% 75% 100% VAMOS Capacity Gain 10%-15% 15%-22% 20%-30% 7%-12% 10%-18% 15%-25% 5%-10% 7%-15% 10%-20%

3 Technical Description
Technical Description
Without VAMOS, a TRX carries a maximum of 8 full-rate calls (16 kbit/s for each call) or 16 half-rate calls (8 kbit/s for each call). With VAMOS, a TRX carries up to 32 VAMOS calls (8 kbit/s for each call). Figure 3-1 shows the details. Figure 3-1 Number of MSs carried on a TRX with and without VAMOS
VAMOS multiplexes two calls onto the same TCHH. In this way, voice signals of these calls are transmitted simultaneously. If the signals of the two calls are superposed, severe interference occurs, and the voice quality of the multiplexed calls deteriorates. In the downlink, the alphaQPSK modulation algorithm is used. That is, the data of the two VAMOS mobile stations (MSs) is mapped onto two bits of the QPSK symbol and sent in orthogonal TSCs. Then, the two MSs demodulate their data using different methods. In the uplink, GMSK is used to modulate signals. Each MS transmits signals using its own antenna, and the base transceiver station (BTS) uses two or more antennas to receive signals. In this way, VAMOS divides one TCHH into two 8 kbit/s orthogonal subchannels. VAMOS requires support from both MSs and the base station subsystem (BSS). VAMOS channel multiplexing can be performed only on MSs that support SAIC or VAMOS. For details about SAIC or VAMOS MSs, see 2.1 "MS VAMOS Capabilities." The VamosSwitch (BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter controls whether a Huawei BSS supports VAMOS. The VAMOS feature consists of the following functions: l VAMOS channel multiplexing VAMOS is implemented based on TCHHs. When the traffic in a cell is heavy, TCHHs are preferentially allocated to calls. VAMOS channel multiplexing is enabled only if the proportion of half-rate services is high and radio resources are insufficient. For details about VAMOS channel multiplexing, see 3.2 VAMOS Channel Multiplexing. l VAMOS channel demultiplexing When channel resources become sufficient or the voice quality of multiplexed calls deteriorates, VAMOS channel demultiplexing is enabled to convert VAMOS TCHHs back to ordinary TCHHs, improving user experience.

For details about VAMOS channel demultiplexing, see 3.3 VAMOS Channel Demultiplexing. l VAMOS power control
After VAMOS is enabled, power control is required to eliminate interference between two multiplexed calls caused by VAMOS channel multiplexing. This mitigates voice quality deterioration for multiplexed calls and for the entire network. For details about VAMOS power control, see 3.4 VAMOS Power Control.
Issue 02 (2013-06-30)
3.1 MS VAMOS Capabilities

Although an SAIC MS is not a standard VAMOS MS, it has strong anti-interference capabilities. Therefore, VAMOS channel multiplexing can be performed on both SAIC and VAMOS MSs. When VAMOS channel multiplexing is performed on SAIC MSs, the two multiplexed calls must use orthogonal TSCs. To better support VAMOS channel multiplexing, a set of TSCs were also introduced in the VAMOS standards. A standard VAMOS MS must support both SAIC and the new TSCs. Only a few commercial MSs now support VAMOS.
3.1.1 SAIC MS
An MS reports its SAIC capabilities in the Downlink Advanced Receiver Performance field of the Mobile Station Classmark 3 information element (IE) in the Classmark Change message. Table 3-1 lists the mapping between Downlink Advanced Receiver Performance values and SAIC capabilities. For more details, see 3GPP TS 24.008. Table 3-1 Mapping between Downlink Advanced Receiver Performance values and SAIC capabilities Downlink Advanced Receiver Performance 00 01 10 11 SAIC Capability Non-SAIC SAIC SAIC SAIC
Some MSs support SAIC, but the Mobile Station Classmark 3 IE reports that the MS is nonSAIC. This decreases the VAMOS channel multiplexing rate. To resolve the problem, the GBFD-115831 Mute SAIC MS Identification feature is introduced to identify this type of MS. For details about this type of MS, see the Mute SAIC MS Identification Feature Parameter Description. Table 3-2 lists the mapping between SAIC capabilities reported in Mobile Station Classmark 3 and SAIC capabilities actually supported by a Huawei BSS. Table 3-2 Mapping between reported SAIC capabilities and actual SAIC capabilities SAIC Capability Reported in Mobile Station Classmark 3 Non-SAIC Actual SAIC Capability Non-SAIC SAIC (mute SAIC) SAIC SAIC
Issue 02 (2013-06-30)
3.1.2 VAMOS MS
An MS reports its VAMOS capabilities in the VAMOS Level field of the Mobile Station Classmark 3 IE in the Classmark Change message. Table 3-3 lists the mapping between VAMOS levels and VAMOS capabilities. For more details, see 3GPP TS 24.008. Table 3-3 Mapping between VAMOS levels and VAMOS capabilities VAMOS Level 00 01 10 11 VAMOS Capability Non-VAMOS VAMOS I VAMOS II VAMOS II
3.1.3 TSC
VAMOS channel multiplexing can be performed between two SAIC MSs, between two VAMOS MSs, or between an SAIC MS and a VAMOS MS. The descriptions below assume the following: l l l l VAMOS MSs are called new MSs. MSs that support only SAIC are called old MSs. A set of TSCs (TSCs 0 through 7) defined before VAMOS was introduced are called old TSCs. A set of TSCs (TSCs 0 through 7) defined after VAMOS was introduced are called new TSCs.
The same No. has different meanings for a new TSC and for an old TSC. A new and old TSCs with the same No. are orthogonal. For details, see 3GPP TS 45.002. Currently, only new MSs can use new TSCs. Huawei introduces the primary and secondary TSCs for the scenario when two old MSs are multiplexed onto the same VAMOS TCHH. To configure the primary and secondary TSCs for a cell, set the VamosMainTsc(BSC6900,BSC6910) and VamosSubTsc (BSC6900,BSC6910) parameters to appropriate values. A Huawei BSS considers a TSC pair as approximately orthogonal if the primary and secondary TSCs are paired as shown in Table 3-4. Table 3-4 TSC pairs when two calls using old TSCs are multiplexed onto the same VAMOS TCHH Primary TSC 0 1 2 3
Issue 02 (2013-06-30)
Secondary TSC 2 7 0 4
Primary TSC 4 5 6 7
Secondary TSC 3 6 5 1
When no TRX in a cell participates in frequency hopping, the primary TSC must be the same as the TSC for the cell (that is, the value of the BCC(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter). When some TRXs in a cell participate in frequency hopping, each frequency hopping group is configured with one TSC. In this situation, all TSCs for the frequency hopping groups must be the same as the primary TSC. Otherwise, exceptions occur in VAMOS services.
3.2 VAMOS Channel Multiplexing

VAMOS channel multiplexing is a function in which two calls are multiplexed onto the same VAMOS TCHH simultaneously. To support this function, the two calls must become candidate VAMOS calls and meet certain requirements. A Huawei BSS multiplexes two candidate VAMOS calls onto the same TCHH through assignment or intra-cell handover. VAMOS channel multiplexing is only enabled when cell load is heavy, since it may deteriorate voice quality.
3.2.1 Candidate VAMOS Call

Candidate VAMOS Call Conditions
If a call meets the conditions listed below, the BSC selects the call as a candidate VAMOS call and adds it to the candidate VAMOS call queue. Otherwise, the BSC will not select the call as a candidate VAMOS call or will delete the previously selected call from the queue. l l l The call requests a TCHH. The MultAllowBeforeConn(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to ON(On), or this parameter is set to OFF(Off) but the BSS receives a Connect ACK message. The call meets the following level and quality conditions for the period specified by VamosOldCallLastTimes(BSC6900,BSC6910) within the period specified by VamosOldCallStatTimes(BSC6900,BSC6910). If the call is in an ordinary cell or in the underlaid subcell of a concentric cell: The adaptive cell border (ATCB) meets the conditions listed in Table 3-5.
NOTE
The ATCB refers to the difference between the downlink receive level and the optimal neighboring cell level of a call.

Candidate VAMOS Call Queuing

The OptVAMOSChnMulAlg(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter determines how candidate VAMOS calls are queued.
If the OptVAMOSChnMulAlg(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to YES(Yes): Candidate VAMOS calls are queued according to their receive quality in ascending order. If the receive quality is the same for all calls, candidate VAMOS calls are queued according to their ATCB values in descending order.
NOTE
The receive quality refers to the poorer of the uplink receive quality and the downlink receive quality.
The ATCB value refers to the difference between the downlink receive level and the optimal neighboring cell level. l If the OptVAMOSChnMulAlg(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to NO(No): Candidate VAMOS calls are queued according to their path loss in ascending order.
3.2.2 VAMOS Channel Multiplexing Using an Intra-Cell Handover

The VamosIntraHoSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter controls whether to enable VAMOS channel multiplexing using an intra-cell handover. If this parameter is set to ON(On) and the cell load meets the requirements listed below, the BSS selects two calls from the candidate VAMOS call queue and determines whether the two calls can be paired. If the two calls can be paired, the BSC triggers an intra-cell handover on one call and then multiplexes the two calls onto the same VAMOS TCHH. Intra-cell handover cell load requirements: l l l Load of an ordinary cell > VamosMultLoadThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) Load of the underlaid subcell of a concentric cell > VamosMultLoadThd (BSC6900,BSC6910) Load of the overlaid subcell of a concentric cell > VamosIuoInnerLoadThd (BSC6900,BSC6910)
Candidate VAMOS Call-Candidate VAMOS Call Pairing Conditions

Two candidate VAMOS calls can be paired if both the following conditions are met: l l The path loss difference between the two calls is less than or equal to VamosPathLossMaxDiffValue(BSC6900,BSC6910). If the VamosNoneSaicAllow(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to OFF(Off), a VAMOS I MS cannot be paired with a non-SAIC MS and an SAIC MS cannot be paired with a non-SAIC MS.
NOTE
The following two MSs cannot be paired with each other:
l l
The MS processing a call is an old MS and uses an old TSC. The MS processing another call is a new MS and uses an old TSC.
For descriptions of new and old MSs and new and old TSCs, see 3.1.3 TSC.
Handover Triggering Conditions

If two candidate VAMOS calls can be paired, an intra-cell handover is triggered differently depending on the following conditions:
l l
If only one of the two TRXs that carry the two calls has the VAMOS license, the call carried by the TRX that does not have the license is handed over to the TRX that has the license. If both TRXs have the VAMOS license, the call carried by the TRX with heavier load is handed over to the TRX with lighter load.
If the two candidate VAMOS calls cannot be paired, an intra-cell handover is not triggered.
TSC Selection for a Call After a Handover

If the call that initially accesses a cell is a common call (regardless of whether it is initiated by a new MS or by an old MS), the primary TSC, which is also an old TSC, is used by default. When two calls perform VAMOS channel multiplexing using an intra-cell handover, the TSCs selected for the two calls must be orthogonal. For example, if call 1 is about to be handed over and call 2 is not to be handed over, Huawei BSS selects a TSC for call 1 after a handover based on the MS type and TSC type for calls 1 and 2. Table 3-7 describes the detailed principles for selecting a TSC for call 1 after a handover. Table 3-7 Principles for selecting a TSC for call 1 after a handover MS Type for Call 1 TSC Type for Call 1 MS Type for Call 2 TSC Type for Call 2 Principle for Selecting a TSC for Call 1 After a Handover If the old TSC for call 2 is the primary TSC, the secondary TSC is selected. If the old TSC for call 2 is the secondary TSC, the primary TSC is selected. Old MS Old TSC New MS New TSC The old TSC that is the same as the new TSC for call 2 is selected. Calls 1 and 2 cannot be paired, and VAMOS channel multiplexing is not performed.

3.2.3 VAMOS Channel Multiplexing Using the Assignment Procedure

VAMOS channel multiplexing using the assignment procedure enables a new call and a call in the candidate VAMOS call queue to be quickly multiplexed onto the same VAMOS TCHH, expanding system capacity. The VamosAssSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter controls whether to enable VAMOS channel multiplexing using the assignment procedure. The BSS performs VAMOS channel multiplexing using the assignment procedure only if the
VamosAssSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to ON(On) and the cell load meets the following requirements: l l l Load of an ordinary cell VamosMultLoadThd(BSC6900,BSC6910)+ VAMOSASSLOADOFT(BSC6900,BSC6910) Load of the underlaid subcell of a concentric cell VamosMultLoadThd (BSC6900,BSC6910) + VAMOSASSLOADOFT(BSC6900,BSC6910) Load of the overlaid subcell of a concentric cell VamosIuoInnerLoadThd (BSC6900,BSC6910) + VAMOSASSLOADOFT(BSC6900,BSC6910)
The assignment procedure is as follows: First, the new call must meet the conditions for VAMOS channel multiplexing. Second, the BSS selects a candidate VAMOS call that meets the pairing conditions from the queue. Finally, the BSS assigns the new call to the TCHH occupied by the call selected from the candidate VAMOS call queue if the two calls can be paired.
Trigger Conditions for VAMOS Channel Multiplexing on a New Call

The BSC multiplexes a new call with a suitable call from the candidate VAMOS call queue onto the same VAMOS TCHH if the following conditions are met: l l The new call requests a TCHH. The level and quality of the new call on an SDCCH meet the following conditions before the BSC allocates an idle TCHH to the call.

New Call-Candidate VAMOS Call Pairing Conditions

If a new call meets the preceding trigger conditions, the BSC selects a call from the candidate VAMOS call queue and determines whether the selected call can be paired with the new call. The BSC decides that the two calls can be paired if the following conditions are met: l l The path loss difference between the two calls is less than or equal to VamosPathLossMaxDiffValue(BSC6900,BSC6910). If the VamosNoneSaicAllow(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to OFF(Off), a VAMOS I MS cannot be paired with a non-SAIC MS and an SAIC MS cannot be paired with a non-SAIC MS.
NOTE
The following two MSs cannot be paired with each other: l The MS processing a new call is an old MS and uses an old TSC. l The MS processing the selected call is a new MS and uses an old TSC. For descriptions of new and old MSs and new and old TSCs, see 3.1.3 TSC.

New Call Assignment

If two calls can be paired, the BSC assigns the new call to the VAMOS TCHH occupied by the selected call, and the two calls are multiplexed onto the same TCHH. If the two calls cannot be paired, the BSC allocates an ordinary TCHH to the new call.
TSC Selection for a New Call

When a call initiates VAMOS channel multiplexing using the assignment procedure, the TSCs selected for the two calls must be orthogonal. In this situation, Huawei BSS selects a TSC for the new call based on the MS type for the new call, the MS type for the ongoing call, and the TSC type for the ongoing call. Table 3-10 describes the detailed principles for selecting a TSC for a new call.

3.3 VAMOS Channel Demultiplexing

VAMOS channel multiplexing expands network capacity at the expense of voice quality. When voice quality deteriorates noticeably or network capacity is sufficient, the BSS demultiplexes the multiplexed TCHHs to improve voice quality. During the VAMOS channel demultiplexing procedure, the BSS selects one of the two multiplexed calls and hands over the selected call to an idle TCHH. Meanwhile, the BSS retains the other call on the VAMOS TCHH and converts the VAMOS TCHH to an ordinary TCHH.
3.3.1 VAMOS Channel Demultiplexing Due to BQ

VAMOS channel multiplexing may cause voice quality to deteriorate. When voice quality deterioration affects user experience, the BSS performs VAMOS channel demultiplexing on these severely affected calls to improve voice quality and user experience. VAMOS channel demultiplexing due to bad quality (BQ) is enabled if the VamosQualReuseSwitch (BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to ON(On) and any of the following conditions is met for the period specified by VamosQualReuseLastTimes(BSC6900,BSC6910) within the period specified by VamosQualReuseStatTimes(BSC6900,BSC6910): l If the call is in an ordinary cell or in the underlaid subcell of a concentric cell: Uplink receive quality VamosQualReuseUpLinkQualThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) or Downlink receive quality VamosQualReuseDownLinkQualThd (BSC6900,BSC6910) l
Issue 02 (2013-06-30)
If the call is in the overlaid subcell of a concentric cell:

Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 17

3.3.2 Optimization of VAMOS Channel Demultiplexing Due to BQ

A call may meet the trigger conditions for VAMOS channel demultiplexing due to BQ, interference handover, BQ handover, and TCHH/TCHF handover at the same time. However, when VAMOS is enabled, the majority of quality-based handovers are triggered due to channel multiplexing. Therefore, VAMOS channel demultiplexing due to BQ is preferentially optimized. However, the BSS may trigger another type of quality-based handover on a call before the optimization, possibly resulting in a handover failure or a call drop. Optimization of VAMOS channel demultiplexing due to BQ resolves this problem. If the VamosQualUndoPntSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to ON(On) and a qualitybased handover is triggered for VAMOS calls, the BSS triggers the handover only on the call with better voice quality in the two multiplexed calls during VAMOS channel demultiplexing and penalizes the other call. Specifically, the BSC does not trigger any quality-based handovers for the call with BQ within the time specified by the VamosQualUndoPntTimer (BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
3.3.3 VAMOS Channel Demultiplexing Due to Low Cell Load

VAMOS channel demultiplexing improves voice quality when cell load decreases and channel resources become sufficient in the cell. The VamosLoadReuseSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter controls whether to enable VAMOS channel demultiplexing due to low cell load. If this parameter is set to ON(On) and cell load is lower than the threshold specified by the VamosLoadReuseLoadThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter, the BSC triggers a handover on the call with the larger ATCB value of the two multiplexed calls. VAMOS channel demultiplexing due to low cell load is actually a type of handover, which is supported by both the HUAWEI I Handover and HUAWEI II Handover features.
3.4 VAMOS Power Control

VAMOS enables two calls to be multiplexed onto the same TCHH. In this way, voice signals of these calls are transmitted simultaneously. This causes mutual interference between the two calls and therefore affects their voice quality. In addition, the power of the two calls' signals is superposed, causing interference over the entire network. To resolve this problem, uplink successive interference cancellation (SIC) power control and downlink alpha-QPSK power control are introduced in the VAMOS feature. Unlike the power control for a common call, the power control for a VAMOS call is always performed on the BTS.
3.4.1 Uplink Power Control

VAMOS uses SIC to demodulate the uplink data of two multiplexed calls. To achieve this, SIC:
1. 2. 3.
Uses interference rejection combining (IRC) to demodulate the uplink data of the call with a strong signal level. Uses interference cancellation to eliminate some interference produced by the call with a strong signal level for the call with a weak signal level. Uses IRC to demodulate the uplink data of the call with a weak signal level.
The uplink power control algorithm synchronizes the measurement reports (MRs) for two multiplexed calls and performs a joint power control decision to keep the power of these calls within an acceptable range. The SicPwrCtrlSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter controls whether to enable uplink power control. The principles of uplink power control are similar to those of Huawei power control algorithm III. The only difference is that, when making uplink power control decisions, the receive level difference between two multiplexed calls must be within a certain range to facilitate demodulation. The SicDiffHighThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter specifies the upper threshold of the receive level difference. Table 3-11 lists the parameter mapping between uplink power control and Huawei power control algorithm III. Table 3-11 Parameter mapping between uplink power control and Huawei power control algorithm III Uplink Power Control SicHRRxQualThd (BSC6900,BSC6910) Huawei Power Control Algorithm III ULHSREXQUALHIGHTHRED (BSC6900,BSC6910), ULHSREXQUALLOWTHRED (BSC6900,BSC6910) Remarks Uplink power control algorithm uses a singlethreshold parameter, but Huawei power control algorithm III uses dualthreshold parameters.

3.4.2 Downlink Power control

VAMOS uses alpha-QPSK modulation in the downlink. This modulation uses the variable alpha to control the power ratio of multiplexed MSs and to further adjust the power of multiplexed MSs. Downlink power control enables multiplexed MSs to work at the lowest possible total power by setting alpha to an appropriate value. The AlphaQpskCtrlSwitch (BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter controls whether to enable downlink power control, and the AlphaQpskAdjScope(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter specifies the value range of alpha. The principles of downlink power control are the same as those of Huawei power control algorithm III except for the alpha variable. Table 3-12 lists the parameter mapping between downlink power control and Huawei power control algorithm III.

Related Features
4.1 HUAWEI III Power Control Algorithm

The VAMOS feature depends on the HUAWEI III power control algorithm and the enhanced HUAWEI III power control algorithm. Therefore, enable both algorithms in the HUAWEI III Power Control Algorithm feature before enabling VAMOS.
If the two algorithms have been enabled on the network and the high quality indicators (HQIs) are good, power control optimization is not required. If the two algorithms are not enabled on the network, purchase the license for the HUAWEI III Power Control Algorithm feature, enable the two algorithms, and monitor network performance for a certain period. After ensuring that network performance has not deteriorated, enable VAMOS. If network performance has deteriorated, optimize power control parameters for the two algorithms to improve network performance and then enable VAMOS.
For details about the HUAWEI III Power Control Algorithm feature, see the Power Control Feature Parameter Description.
4.2 Flex Abis

The VAMOS feature depends on the Flex Abis feature in Abis over TDM mode. After VAMOS channel multiplexing is triggered, the BSC allocates an 8 kbit/s timeslot to each of the two multiplexed subchannels. If timeslots are fixed in TDM mode, the number of timeslots used doubles, wasting timeslot resources. Therefore, enable the Flex Abis feature to improve resource allocation and management. If a 3900 series base station and a 3012 series base station are cosited, VAMOS is supported after you enable Flex Abis on the 3900 series base station. For details about the Flex Abis feature, see the Flex Abis Feature Parameter Description.

4.4 Half Rate Speech, AMR HR

The VAMOS feature allows two voice calls to be multiplexed only onto one TCHH. Therefore, enable the Half Rate Speech or AMR HR feature before you enable VAMOS.
4.5 TRX Multiplexing Rate

The number of MSs served by a TRX and the traffic volume over RSLs will increase after the VAMOS feature is enabled. Therefore, set the TRX multiplexing rate to a ratio less than or equal to 2:1 before enabling VAMOS.
4.6 Network Support SAIC

The VAMOS feature requires support from SAIC MSs and therefore depends on the Network Support SAIC feature. The SAICALLOWED(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter controls whether to enable the Network Support SAIC feature. To measure the penetration rate of SAIC MSs, set the MSCAPABLESTATSWITCH(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to ON(On) and subscribe to the A03628: Number of Calls Originated or Terminated by MSs Supporting SAIC and A03640: Number of Calls counters on the M2000.

The ciphering algorithms randomize signals of two multiplexed VAMOS calls, improving demodulation performance. Therefore, enable the ciphering algorithms together with the VAMOS feature.
4.13 A5/1 Encryption Flow Optimization

The A5/1 Encryption Flow Optimization feature includes the Flex TSC function, but the VAMOS feature uses planned TSCs. Therefore, do not simultaneously enable the VAMOS feature and the Flex TSC function of A5/1 Encryption Flow Optimization. For details, see Ciphering Feature Parameter Description.
4.14 Discontinuous Transmission (DTX)-Downlink, Discontinuous Transmission (DTX)-Uplink

The Discontinuous Transmission (DTX)-Downlink and Discontinuous Transmission (DTX)Uplink features decrease interference between multiplexed VAMOS calls and interference on the entire network. Therefore, enable VAMOS together with these two features.
4.15 SDCCH Waiting for Measurement Reports

VAMOS channel multiplexing using the assignment procedure depends on the MRs on SDCCHs, but not every MS sends an MR on an SDCCH during immediate assignment. Therefore, if you enable VAMOS channel multiplexing using the assignment procedure, set the SDCCHWaitMREn(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to ON(On) and the SDCCHWaitMRTimeLen(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to a large value(It is recommended that this parameter be set to 15 or larger).
4.16 ECSC
VAMOS channel multiplexing requires support from MSs. Therefore, the BSS must obtain MSs' VAMOS capabilities contained in the Mobile Station Classmark 3 IE in advance. The methods for obtaining the Mobile Station Classmark 3 IE which contains the MSs' VAMOS capabilities are as follows: l The BSS obtains the Mobile Station Classmark 3 IE using the classmark update procedure triggered by the mobile switching center (MSC).
Issue 02 (2013-06-30)
4 Related Features
The BSS uses the early classmark sending control function to instruct an MS to report the Mobile Station Classmark 3 IE in advance. This method does not require support from the MSC and takes effect when the ECSC(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to YES (Yes).
The MSC, however, triggers the classmark update procedure only for some calls. Therefore, set ECSC(BSC6900,BSC6910) to YES(Yes) to enable the early classmark sending control function.
4.17 EDGE/EDGE+
If the VAMOS and EDGE/EDGE+ features are enabled on the same TRX group, PS service rate may decrease. If the digital signal processing (DSP) capability of the TRX group is insufficient after VAMOS channel multiplexing is triggered, the BSS decreases the rate of EDGE/EDGE+ services on the TRX group.
4.18 High-Priority User

Voice quality deteriorates after VAMOS is enabled. Therefore, do not enable VAMOS for highpriority users. If the HIGHPRIUSERQUALFIRST(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to YES(Yes), do not enable VAMOS for users whose priorities are less than or equal to the value of the HIGHESTPRIORITQUALFIRST(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter. If the HIGHPRIUSERQUALFIRST(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to NO(No), enable VAMOS without considering users' priorities.
4.19 Asynchronous Handover

Asynchronous handovers are not supported during VAMOS channel multiplexing. Therefore, only VAMOS channel multiplexing using an intra-cell handover is supported. VAMOS channel multiplexing cannot be performed on two calls served by two separate BTSs.
4.20 Cells in Repeater Networking Mode

Asynchronous handovers are recommended for cells working in repeater networking mode, but VAMOS channel multiplexing does not support asynchronous handovers. Therefore, do not use the VAMOS feature for cells working in repeater networking mode.
4.21 eMLPP
The VAMOS feature does not support enhanced multi-level precedence and preemption (eMLPP). Therefore, other calls cannot preempt the resources occupied by multiplexed calls using eMLPP.
4.22 PDCH Reconstruction

VAMOS calls do not support the PDCH reconstruction function, which is controlled by the PDCHREFORMING(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.

4.23 RF Module VAMOS Capabilities

However, only some TRXs on these RF modules support VAMOS. Table 4-1 lists the detailed VAMOS capabilities of these modules.

NOTE
l The following limitations are imposed on the TRXs that support VAMOS on an RF module: It is assumed that an RF module is configured with four TRXs (TRXs 0 through 3) and that all the four TRXs support VAMOS. VAMOS channel multiplexing can be performed only on one channel with the same channel number on the four TRXs at the same time. For example, if VAMOS channel multiplexing is performed on channel 0 of TRX 2, it cannot be performed on channel 0 of TRX 0, 1, or 3. Other channels have the same limitations by analogy. l For VAMOS I and VAMOS II MSs, the BSC allocates only the old TSC to calls using the RF module if a GRFU V1, MRFU V1, RRU3008 V1, RRU3908 V1, GRFU V2, MRFU V2, RRU3008 V2, or RRU3908 V2 is used.

5.1 Network Performance
l
NOTE
Network Impact
The VAMOS feature expands network capacity at the expense of voice quality. Specifically, this feature has the following impacts on network performance: VAMOS expands network capacity, relieves network congestion, and increases traffic volume.
The VAMOS capacity gains vary with the SAIC MS penetration rate and frequency reuse pattern. Specifically, the larger the SAIC MS penetration rate and the looser the frequency reuse pattern, the larger the VAMOS capacity gains.
VAMOS channel demultiplexing due to BQ mitigates negative impacts on KPIs.

NOTE
When VAMOS channel multiplexing is triggered, interference occurs between two multiplexed calls. This deteriorates the HQIs, mean opinion score (MOS), and call drop rate.
l l
VAMOS channel multiplexing and demultiplexing using an intra-cell handover increase the number of intra-cell handovers and possibly decrease the handover success rate. VAMOS channel multiplexing using the assignment procedure possibly decreases the assignment success rate. If the SDCCHWaitMREn(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to ON(On), call access may be delayed and the traffic volume and call drop rate on SDCCHs may increase. If the VAMOS and EDGE/EDGE+ features are enabled on the same TRX group with insufficient DSP capabilities, the uplink PS service rate automatically decreases. After VAMOS is enabled, more Abis and A transmission resources are required, and the CPU usage, DSP usage, and memory usage of service processing boards increase. You must evaluate whether additional hardware or transmission resources are required.

5.2.1 MS Power Control and BS Power Control Messages

VAMOS power control is always performed on the BTS. Therefore, the BSC can trace only one MS Power Control message and one BS Power Control message over the Abis interface after receiving the Establish Indication message from the BTS.
5.2.2 Channel Activation Message

When VAMOS active power control is enabled, the vamos-pair-ms-power and phase-ii-vamospair-ms-power IEs are added in the Channel Activation message for the new call. The phase-iivamos-pair-ms-power IE is valid when PwrBCDOptimizeSwitch(BSC6910,BSC6900) is set to ON(On).
5.3 Operation and Maintenance

The VAMOS feature has the following impacts on the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the BSS.
5.3.1 Changes the TCHH status on the LMT

Figure 5-3 shows the status of TCHHs (channels 6 and 7 of TRX 1, 2, and 4) occupied by calls.

Figure 5-4 shows the status of TCHHs occupied by these two calls. Figure 5-4 Status of TCHHs occupied by two ordinary calls when VAMOS is enabled

Figure 5-6 Status of VAMOS TCHHs
Step 1 Run the SET FHO command to force VAMOS channel demultiplexing on the call that occupies the third subchannel. SET FHO: OBJTYPE=CHN, TRXID=0, CHNO=7, HOMOD=VAMOSDEMULTIPLEX, SUBCHNO=2; Step 2 Check the status of subchannels occupied by the two calls. The status indicates that the two calls occupy ordinary TCHHs, as shown in Figure 5-7. ----End Figure 5-7 Status of TCHHs occupied by two ordinary calls when VAMOS is enabled
5.3.4 Adds the function of querying VAMOS capabilities in a cell

VAMOS capabilities are cell-level information. To query a cell's VAMOS capabilities, run the DSP GCELLSTAT command. A cell supports VAMOS only if all of the following conditions are met: l l l The VamosSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to ON(On). The BTS that serves the cell supports VAMOS. (Only 3900 series base stations currently support VAMOS.) The cell is configured with RF modules that support VAMOS. (These RF modules include the GRFU V1, GRFU V2, GRFU V2a, RRU3008 V1, RRU3008 V2, RRU3928, RRU3929, RRU3926, RRU3961, RRU3922E, RRU3936, MRFUd, and MRFUe.)

7.1 When to Use VAMOS
l l l
Engineering Guidelines
This feature is recommended when all the following conditions are met: The network has heavy traffic and is congested. The network does not have a high requirement for voice quality and allows a maximum MOS decrease of 0.3. The SAIC MS penetration rate is greater than 30%, because only SAIC MSs now support VAMOS in live networks. If the GSM network is mature with stable or decreasing users, VAMOS is recommended in heavy traffic scenarios (for example, during holidays). If the GSM network is growing rapidly, adding TRXs is recommended to expand network capacity. Use VAMOS to expand network capacity only if network congestion cannot be relieved by increasing the proportion of half-rate services. The proportion of half-rate services has no impact on the application scenarios for VAMOS.
7.2 Network Planning

7.2.1 TSC
Two MSs multiplexed onto the same VAMOS TCHH must use different TSCs. TSCs 0 through 7 are the only TSCs that can be used because no VAMOS I or II MSs are in use. If VAMOS is enabled for all cells on a network, each cell requires two TSCs. The TSC reuse rate decreases for the entire network, which shortens the distance between cells using the same TSCs. When the timeslots of different cells are aligned, the cells may use the same frequencies and TSCs, which deteriorates network performance. To avoid this problem, the TSCs must be replanned before VAMOS is enabled, to maximize the distance between cells that use the same TSCs. TSC planning is based on the following principles: l l
Issue 02 (2013-06-30)
Do not use the same TSCs as neighboring cells that use the same frequencies. The BTSs that use the same frequencies and TSCs must be distant from each other.
l l l
Ensure that orthogonal TSCs are used for two calls to be multiplexed onto the same TCHH. Keep cells that use the same TSCs far away from each other or configure these cells reversely. When no TRX in a cell participates in frequency hopping, the primary TSC must be the same as the TSC for the cell (that is, the value of the BCC(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter). When some TRXs in a cell participate in frequency hopping, each frequency hopping group is configured with one TSC. In this situation, all TSCs for the frequency hopping groups must be the same as the primary TSC.
7.2.2 Capacity
l For an existing network: Enable the VAMOS feature in areas where transmission is congested and modify related algorithm parameters to relieve network congestion. Enabling VAMOS does not affect capacity planning for the live network. For a newly deployed network: VAMOS, equivalent to the Half Rate Speech feature, facilitates capacity planning by estimating the proportion of VAMOS traffic volume to total traffic volume on the entire network and the traffic bearing capabilities of TRX boards.
7.2.3 Transmission Resources

E1/T1 cables, network cables, and optical fibers are transmission resources over the Abis, Ater, and A interfaces. Under the same configuration, more transmission resources are required after the VAMOS feature is enabled. For example, when E1 transmission is used, E1 cables need to be added over the Abis, Ater, and A interfaces to meet the increased traffic volume after VAMOS is enabled. Adding transmission resources is determined by the amount of configured transmission resources and the amount of required transmission resources. Do not add transmission resources if the configured transmission resources can fully meet service requirements after VAMOS is enabled.
7.2.4 BSC Boards

After VAMOS is enabled, the number of speech paths increases to meet the increased traffic volume. This requires that the BSC's capability of processing speech frames or the processing capability of DPUc boards in TC subracks be improved. However, a DPUc board can process only a certain number of speech paths. Therefore, additional DPUc boards need to be added. Adding DPUc boards is determined by the number of configured DPUc boards and the number of required DPUc boards. Do not add DPUc boards if the number of speech paths supported by the configured DPUc boards can fully meet service requirements after VAMOS is enabled.

7.3.2 Precautions
The BSS automatically resets the cell after you change the setting of the VAMOS Switch parameter. The BSS forces inter-cell handovers for ongoing calls in the cell before resetting the cell and considers a handover failure as a call drop.

NOTE
The following steps are used as an example to verify that the BSC allows only BQ handovers for VAMOS demultiplexing and prohibits other quality-based handovers (including interference handovers, BQ handovers, and TCHF-TCHH handovers) when the BQ handover algorithm is enabled:
1. 2.
Run the SET GCELLHOBASIC command with both Intracell HO Allowed and BQ HO Allowed set to YES(Yes). Run the SET GCELLAMRQUL command with both UL Qual. Limit for AMR FR and UL Qual. Limit for AMR HR set to 0.
Issue 02 (2013-06-30)
3.
Run the SET GCELLAMRQUL command with both DL Qual. Limit for AMR FR and DL Qual. Limit for AMR HR set to 0.
Step 8 Check the TCHH status in cell 0. Expected result: Two MSs are being multiplexed onto the same TCHH. No BQ handover is performed. Step 9 Run the SET GCELLVAMOS command with its parameters set as follows: 1. 2. 3. Set both VAMOS Switch and Channel Demultiplex on Bad Qual. to ON(On). Set BQ VAMOS Channel Demultiplex Optimize to ON(On). Set both UL RX Bad Qual. Demultiplex Thres. and DL RX Bad Qual. Demultiplex Thres. to 0.
Expected result: Several seconds after optimization of VAMOS channel demultiplexing due to BQ is enabled, VAMOS channel demultiplexing is performed, and the call with good voice quality is handed over to another TCHH. Several seconds later, a BQ handover is triggered on the call with good voice quality. A BQ handover is triggered on the call with poor voice quality only when the timer specified by the BQ VAMOS Channel Demultiplex Penalty Period parameter is timed out. ----End
