    Co-operation with GSM

    After the module, the participants will be


    able to:
    Explain how GPRS and GSM networks can
    co-operate
    Give examples how traffic load can be
    divided between GPRS and GSM networks
    Explain some interactions between GSM
    and GPRS features

    SMS
    GPRS mobiles are capable of transmitting and
    receiving short messages via GPRS channels.
    This enables class-C GPRS MSs to use the short
    message services.
    GPRS mobiles also enable short messages to be sent
    via traffic channels of the radio network.

    Paging
    BSC S9 software supports network operation modes I
    and II.
    Mode I requires Gs interface between the SGSN and
    MSC/HLR.
    In mode II circuit switched paging messages are
    transferred through the A interface from the MSC to the
    BSC.
    In mode I circuit switched paging messages are routed
    through the Gb interface for GPRS-attached mobiles.
    GPRS pages always come from the SGSN through the
    Gb interface.

    GPRS Paging
    The SGSN initiates the GPRS paging process.
    Sends one or more PAGING PS PDUs messages to the
    BSC (PCU).
    The BSC translates the incoming GPRS and circuit
    switched paging messages into one corresponding Abis
    paging message per cell.
    A GPRS paging message is sent only to cells that
    support GPRS services.

    Circuit Switched Paging Using
    GPRS in Network Operation Mode
    I
    In order to initiate circuit-switched transmission between
    the MSC and the MS, the SGSN sends one or more
    PAGING CS PDUs to BSC.
    These PDUs contain the information elements necessary
    for the BSS to initiate paging for a MS within a group of
    cells.
    The paging area is the same as in GPRS paging.
    After the paging procedure, the circuit switched
    connection is set up as usual GSM call.
    If within the SGSN area there are cells that do not
    support GPRS services, the cells are grouped under a
    'null RA'. The 'null RA' covers all the cells in the indicated
    paging area that do not support GPRS services.

    Combined GPRS/IMSI Attach and
    Detach
    When a MS performs a combined GPRS/IMSI Attach, the
    MS sends the request to the SGSN, which informs the
    MSC/VLR, which in turn stores the address of the SGSN.
    The GPRS/IMSI Detach operates in a similar way
    through the SGSN.
    Combining GPRS and GSM attach and detach we can
    reduce signalling load in a network.

    6 NOKIA CTXX 4284/1.0en.PPT/ 29.6.2000 / Timo Vakkala


    Combined RA/LA Update
    A combined Routing Area/Location Area update is
    performed when a MS changes both the Routing Area
    and the Location Area, and the MS does not have a
    circuit switched connection. The update is made
    through the SGSN.
    Network Operation mode I when the MS enters a new
    RA or when a GPRS-attached MS performs an IMSI
    attach.
    With this feature we reduce signalling and processing
    load in a network.

    Interaction with Other Features
    Half Rate
    It is recommended to avoid configuring permanent HR TSLs in
    GPRS TRXs
    TRX prioritisation in TCH allocation
    It is recommended to set parameters so that GPRS territory is
    preferred in an other type of TRX than CS calls
    Dynamic SDCCH
    TCH TSL to be reconfigured as a dynamic SDCCH TSL is always
    selected in the CS territory
    Dynamic Hot Spot
    GPRS TSLs are regarded as busy TSLs in dynamic hot spot
    algorithm
    Dynamic hot spot algorithm must be applied when allocating
    additional type of resources for GPRS if the feature has been set on
    Base Band Hopping
    TSL0 is not included in the GPRS territory
    Territory method is utilised in implementing avoiding of TSL0 in TCH
    allocation even if GPRS is not used at all

    GPRS Restrictions
    Super-reuse TRXs can not handle GPRS traffic due to
    Release1 not supporting Network requested cell re-
    selection
    GPRS is not supported with Extended Cell Range:
    ETRX can not carry GPRS TCHs
    GPRS is not supported on Satellite Abis

    GPRS has similar restrictions concerning frequency


    hopping as HSCSD: timeslots for multislot mobile has
    to be allocated from the same hopping group
