The MTP consists of at least one signalling link, a signalling link set, and a signalling route set. SCCP: Two SCCP services are used in GSM: connectionless service and connectionoriented service. The SSCP uses the MTP’s services and offers its own services to the upper layers. BSSAP: The application part of the base station subsystem. The BSSAP consists of BSSMAP (BSS Management Part), for messages between BSC and MSC; and DTAP (Direct Transfer Application Part), for messages to and from the mobile station.

BTS Parameters Mobile Country Code and Mobile Network Code The mobile country code (MCC) defines the code of each country globally while the mobile network code (MNC) defines the unique network code within a country. Location Area Code The MSC service area has been divided into several smaller areas, which are called location areas (LAC). Each location area has a unique number a location area code- to identify the area. Paging a mobile in case of an incoming call is based on the location area. Cell Identity A location area may include several BSCs, BCFs and BTSs. Therefore, a unique Cell identity (CI) is needed to define each individual cell within a location area. The range of CI numbers is 0-65535. In MML each cell is represented by a Segment consisting one or more BTS objects. The Cell Global Identification CGI=MCC+MNC+LAC+CI has to be defined in MCS and BSC.

Routing Area From the GPRS’ point of view Location Area (LA) and Cell information is not enough. A new logical element in an Air interface is called a Routing Area (RA). A Routing Area helps to optimise the load caused by GPRS mobility management. One or more cells form a Routing Area, which is a subset of one Location Area; all the cells must be entirely contained within the same LA. The Routing Area is unique within a Location Area. Handling mobility management in the GPRS network is similar to handling mobility management in the existing GSM system. As Routing Areas are served by SGSNs, it is important to remember the network configuration plan and what has been defined in the SGSN when configuring the BSC side. The information has to be the same in the SGSN and the BSC. A Routing Area is contained within an SGSN, and all BTSs for the same RA have to be connected to the same SGSN. RAs are not confined to a particular PCU. Several PCUs can serve one RA and one PCU can handle several RAs. When creating a Routing Area, the user identifies the obligatory parameters Mobile Country Code (MCC), Mobile Network Code (MNC), Location Area Code (LAC) and Routing Area Code (RAC). The MCC, MNC, LAC and RAC parameters constitute a Routing Area Identification (RAI). In other words: The Routing Area and the BTSs are linked logically together by the RAI. Routing Areas are used in the PCU selection algorithm, which selects a serving PCU for a cell when the operator enables the GPRS traffic in that cell. RAI = MCC+MNC+LAC+RAC Optimal Routing Area size If the Routing Area size is too large, the paging channels and capacity will be saturated due to limited LAPD Abis or radio interface CCCH paging capacity. With a small Routing Area there will be a larger number of Routing Area updates.

RN28195EN20GLA0
Network colour code (NCC) Network colour code is used in arbitrary situations on country borders in order to define the network from which a mobile gets its service. In every country the whole GSM frequency band has been allocated among local operators. In the vicinity of country borders it is possible for the mobile to receive the same frequency from both countries. Therefore, NCC is used to define which network a particular frequency belongs to. The range of NCC is between 0-7. NCC is based on the common agreement between neighbouring operators.

Base station colour code (BCC) and base station identity code (BSIC) Within a national network there is a similar problem, but from a different source. Due to the limited number of carriers, frequencies need to be reused rather often. This results in an arbitrary situation for mobiles that receive the same frequency from several sources. Using base station colour code solves the problem; the BCC describes a group of BTSs using a set of frequencies. Another BCC is given to the neighbouring frequency set. The range of BCC is between 0-7. NCC and BCC together comprise a code called Base Station Identity Code (BSIC). BSIC is transmitted to mobiles on Synchronisation Channel. The mobile decodes this information, and is therefore able to lock onto the correct network and BTS (=cell). BSIC = NCC + BCC

RN28195EN20GLA0
Baseband hopping management There are two different hopping groups used with baseband hopping in each BTS. When the Intelligent Frequency Hopping (IFH) feature is used, an additional hopping group 3 is in use. Group 1 All radio time slots, except the BCCH time slot (RTSL-0), on the BTS belong to Group 1. It is managed through FHS-1 in the BSC's database. HSN1(hopping sequence number 1) is related to this group. Group 2 All radio time slots (RTSL-1 to 7) on the BTS belong to Group 2. It is managed through FHS-2 in the BSC's database. HSN2 is related to this group. If baseband hopping is used on the BTS, all radio time slots belonging to the BTS are defined as hopping. The only exception to this is the BCCH time slot, which is always defined as non-hopping. In case there are dedicated signalling channels (SDCCH, CBCH) on the BCCH time slot, they do not hop either. These hopping groups are maintained by adding and removing the Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Numbers (ARFCN) of the TRXs used in frequency hopping in the BTS. Based on the available ARFCNs in the BTS, the following hopping parameters, stored in the BSS Radio Network Configuration Database (BSDATA), are updated: - Mobile Allocation (MA) - Mobile Allocation Index Offset (MAIO) If baseband hopping is used in the BTS, you have to give a hopping sequence number (HSN) for all the hopping groups in the BTS. RF hopping management RF hopping can be used when the transceivers of the BTS are of the hopping synthesiser type (Nokia Talk family of base stations or Nokia PrimeSite). Then you can choose the frequency hopping mode between non-hopping, RF hopping, and BB hopping. When the transceivers of the BTS are of the conventional type (Nokia 2nd generation base stations), only non-hopping or BB hopping are possible. The frequencies for a hopping cell are defined by attaching the cell to one of the mobile allocation frequency lists (MA-lists) defined by the operator. The system calculates the MAIOs, and the operator gives the HSN for the cell. The BCCH transceiver cannot hop, but it transmits a continuous BCCH frequency. Note that the MA used must contain at least as many frequencies as there are unlocked hopping transceivers in the BTS. The MA or the HSN can be changed only when the hopping cell is locked. You can create up to 255 mobile allocation frequency lists (MA-lists) and use them freely with different cells. One list can contain up to 63 frequencies.
