1) Directed retry:

Directed retry is a special type of handover. That is, during assignment, the BSC initiates the directed
retry procedure to switch the MS to a neighboring cell if no TCH is available or the traffic load is heavy in
the serving cell. The BSC does not initiate the directed retry procedure during high speed circuit
switched data (HSCSD) assignment.
This feature helps reduce call access failures due to TCH congestion in the serving cell, increasing the
access success rate. It also helps evenly distribute traffic load between cells.

2) Call Reestablishment procedure:

When an MS encounters a radio link failure during the call, the call reestablishment procedure can be
performed to reestablish the radio link connection so that the original call can proceed. This mechanism
shortens call interruption and improves user experience.

SET GCELLTMR(Timer parameter of Cell)

3) SDCCH Dynamic Adjustment:

When the number of users in a cell increases substantially, some users may not be able to access the
network because they cannot obtain SDCCHs. In this case, some TCHs need to be converted to
SDCCHs. When TCHs are not sufficient enough to meet requirements of channel conversion, dynamic
PDCHs are converted to SDCCHs to ensure that all the users can access the network.

When the traffic load decreases, the TCHs and dynamic PDCHs used as SDCCHs are converted back
to TCHs to increase system capacity.

When SDCCHs are insufficient, channels are converted to SDCCHs in the following sequence: TCHs on
the BCCH frequency band, TCHs not on the BCCH frequency band, and dynamic PDCHs.

4) Discontinuous Transmission (DTX)-Downlink:

DTX reduces data to be transmitted during inactive speech periods, thereby reducing system
interference and saving system resources. DTX also reduces BTS power consumption and frequency
interference on the radio interface

Verification Procedure:
1. Use an MS to originate a call. The call is set up successfully.
2. Trace RSL messages on the Abis interface by referring to Tracing CS Domain Messages on the Abis Interface, and
Expected result: A message of the Channel Activation type is traced. In the information element (IE) channel-mod

5) Discontinuous Transmission (DTX)-Uplink:

DTX reduces data to be transmitted during inactive speech periods, thereby reducing system
interference and saving system resources. DTX also reduces BTS power consumption and frequency
interference on the radio interface

6) Discontinuous Reception (DRX):

Each MS is mapped to a paging group, and each paging group is mapped to a paging sub-channel in
the serving cell. In idle mode, the MS detects the paging messages broadcast by the system only on the
mapped paging sub-channel. The MS blocks other paging sub-channels by powering off hardware, such
as the receiver. This also saves power

 T3168 is used to set the maximum duration for the MS to wait for the uplink assignment message. After the
MS originates the uplink TBF setup request by sending the packet resource request or the channel request in
the packet uplink acknowledge message, the timer T3168 is started to wait for the packet uplink assignment
message on the network side. If the MS receives the packet uplink assignment message before T3168
expires, T3168 is reset. Otherwise, the MS originates the packet access request for four times. Then the MS
regards this as the TBF setup failure.

GCELLPSBASE(Basic attributes of Packet service of cell)

Duration of releasing the TBF after the MS receives the last data block. When the MS receives the RLC data
block containing the flag identifying the last data block and confirms that all the RLC data blocks in the TBF
are received, the MS sends the packet downlink acknowledge message containing the last flag
acknowledgement and the timer T3192 is started. If the timer T3192 expires, the MS releases the TBF
related resources and starts monitoring the paging channel.
