Basic Principles of VAMOS

Function description
VAMOS is used to increase the capacity of the global system for mobile
communications (GSM) network. VAMOS multiplexes two users on one
full-rate or half-rate channel to increase the number of available radio
channels on the Um interface.
Page4
The base transceiver station (BTS) uses the AQPSK modulation mode and orthogonal TSC in the
downlink. Therefore, the mobile station (MS) must support SAIC to correctly demodulate downlink
signals.
In the uplink, the MS still uses the GMSK modulation mode to modulate signals. The BTS demodulates
two signals by using the interference cancellation algorithm (such as IRC and SIC) and orthogonal TSC.

Downlink signal modulation
The BTS uses the modulation mode similar to QPSK to send signals. The data of two users is mapped to
different bits of the QPSK symbol. Then, /2 phase rotation is performed for the symbol. The existing SAIC MS
can directly demodulate signals from those received on the corresponding subchannel.
Downlink signal demodulation (SAIC algorithm)
The SAIC receiver separates the received signals as real and imaginary parts and takes them as signal diversity
tributaries so that the diversity effect is obtained by using one antenna.
Page6
Uplink signal modulation: The MS uses the existing modulation algorithm to modulate signals.
Downlink signal demodulation (SAIC algorithm)
Successive interference cancellation (SIC) uses the interference rejection combing (IRC) algorithm to
demodulate the strong-power user channels, deducts the strong-power user information from the received
signals, and then uses IRC to demodulate the remaining weak-power signals.
Page7
TSC users implement channel estimation, that is, obtain the channel
characteristics. Based on the modulation and demodulation modes, third
generation partnership project (3GPP) defines eight training sequences
numbered 0 to 7. For example, training sequence defined by normal burst
in GMSK modulation mode:
The eight TSCs defined by 3GPP are not closely related. To obtain better
orthogonality, The VAMOS workgroup defines a new TSC for VAMOS
multiplexing.
Page8
To support VAMOS better, 3GPP introduces a new TSC and an advanced

receiver structure. MSs are classified as follows based on whether they
support the functions:

Legacy Non-SAIC
Considering the alpha QPSK

technology, a non-SAIC MS
may be multiplexed on the

of certain power offset.
A legacy non-SAIC
MS cannot be
paired with a
legacy non-SAIC
MS or legacy SAIC

Legacy SAIC
Compared with a non-SAIC

MS, a legacy SAIC MS features
more powerful demodulation
capability but supports only the
existing TSC. It supports
VAMOS multiplexing well and
does not require much for the
MS on another subchannel.
A legacy SAIC MS
cannot be paired
with a legacy nonSAIC MS (the
pairing is
theoretically
feasible, but it
requires much for
power offset;
therefore, it is not
applicable).
VAMOS level I
It supports the new TSC

defined for VAMOS.

The current MS

It is not launched

Application Scenarios
VAMOS is applicable to the scenario

where network frequencies are loosely
multiplexed and the capacity is limited.
Typical scenarios are as follows:
Wide coverage in rural areas

In the scenario of wide coverage in rural areas, the frequency multiplexing
rate is low. On the basis of the AHS application, if the penetration rate of
VAMOS MSs is high, satisfactory voice capacity gain can be obtained.
Rural area
Thin network after GSM refarming

The GSM network will coexist with the 3G or even 4G network in a long
term. On the one hand, the number of GSM users decreases gradually,
and the GSM network undergoes continuous refarming; on the other
hand, the operator needs to maintain a thin GSM network for a long
time to guarantee the coverage for users. On the basis of the AHS
application, VAMOS can further meet the traffic peak requirements on
the thin GSM network. That is, a larger traffic capacity can be provided
with a small configuration.
Other scenarios
Refarmed GSM
For some areas where the number of GSM users rapidly increases,
when the user capacity requirement becomes higher, the operator can
increase TRXs and improve frequency multiplexing rate to expand the
capacity. This may greatly decrease the VAMOS gain. Therefore, the
VAMOS technology is not applicable to the area where the number of
GSM users still increases rapidly.
Page10
Impacts of VAMOS on the Network (1)
After VAMOS is enabled, the number of available air

interface channels increases. As a result, the number of
transmission timeslots of the Abis, Ater, and A interfaces
increases. Therefore, before VAMOS is enabled,
transmission resources must be increased.
With the increase of transmission resources, the Abis/Ater/A
interface resources must also be increased, that is,
transmission interface boards in the BSC must be
increased.
Along with the increase of A interface resource, TC boards
must also be increased.
Page11
The orthogonal TSC is required to enable VAMOS. Therefore,

the TSCs on the network must be re-planed.
VAMOS is not used: The TSCs and BCCs are bound on the
network, and the TSCs can be planned at will.
VAMOS is used: To prevent cells from using the same frequency
and TSC in the case of inter-cell timeslot alignment, re-plan the
TSCs on the network by using a method similar to frequency
planning before enabling VAMOS. This method is meant to enlarge
the multiplexing distance between the cells that use the same TSC.
After VAMOS is used, the cells need to use the second TSC, and
therefore the second TSC must be planed so that the cells do not
use the same TSC as peripheral cells.
Page12
After VAMOS is enabled, more BTS destination signaling

point (DSP) processing resources are required (the number
of channels to be processed concurrently increases and
new modulation algorithms need to be used), and the
service processing capability of the BTS deteriorates. In
busy hours, the EDGE rate and EDGE+ rate are decreased.
Page13
Design and Implementation Method

VAMOS channel management
After VAMOS is enabled for a cell, half-rate channels can

implement VAMOS multiplexing. This can be explained as
follows: one subchannel in a timeslot is equivalent to four
HR subchannels instead of two HR subchannels. One fullrate channel is still indicated as one channel.
VAMOS supports full-rate and half-rate channels but it supports only halfrate channels in GBSS13.0.
Page14

VAMOS channel multiplexing
In normal cases, when user A and user B access the network independently, each
occupies one half-rate channel. If user A and user B meet the multiplexing conditions,
the BSC hands user B over to the channel occupied by user A.
If user B is accessing the network and meets the multiplexing conditions, the BSC
directly assigns user B to the channel occupied by user A.
Page15

VAMOS channel demultiplexing
The BSC hands user B over to another half-rate channel.
VAMOS channel demultiplexing can be performed based on load or quality.
Page16

VAMOS transmission resource management
VAMOS supports TDM, IP, and high-level data link control

(HDLC) transmission resources.
VAMOS supports TDM: If an office adopts TDM, the office
must be configured with FlexAbis. Expand channel numbers
to support VAMOS multiplexing.
VAMOS supports IP: After VAMOS is used, subchannel
numbers are expanded to 0 to 3.
VAMOS supports HDLC: After VAMOS is used, subchannel
numbers are expanded to 0 to 3.
Page17

VAMOS processing capability adaptation
For the MRFU/MRRU V1&V2, service restrictions coexist

with VAMOS, EDGE, and EDGE+. Based on the DSP
computing capability of the supported carrier group, the
BSC determines the VAMOS channel of the timeslot in the
carrier group.
After VAMOS is used, the DSP decreases the uplink rate of

EDGE and EDGE+ services based on GMSK modulation if
the DSP processing capability is low.
Page18

MS compatibility
Due to MS compatibility, MS type database is not available

on the BSC. This database records the VAMOS capability of
MSs of different types. The MSs are classified as follows:
MSs in the white list: This type of MSs can completely support
VAMOS multiplexing.
MSs in the gray list: The performance of this type of MSs varies with
the TSC combination. The hop-Alpha QPSK modulation mode,
however, can be used to upgrade the MS performance.
If MS compatibility is not considered, the BSC implements

multiplexing based on the VAMOS support capability
reported by the MS by using the classmark. If MS
compatibility is considered, the BSC obtains the MS type
and then implements multiplexing based on the MS
compatibility stored in the MS type database.
Page19

MS compatibility
You can run ADD GMSSAICCAP to set the MS type

database on the BSC, that is, add MSs in the white list and
gray list manually.
You can configure up to 20,000 records in the white list and

gray list in total.
Page20

Mute-SAIC MS identification
Mute-SAIC MS: An MS that supports SAIC but does not

report the SAIC support capability. This type of MSs affects
the VAMOS multiplexing rate.
If the CONNECTACK message is received during a call and

the channel quality of the call meets the condition, a
detection request is initiated to instruct the BTS to
implement automatic mute-SAIC identification.
After the BTS receives the automatic mute-SAIC

identification request, the BTS starts automatic mute-SAIC
identification.
Page21

Procedure for identifying Mute-SAIC MSs by the BTS:

The BTS forcibly changes the modulation mode of downlink data to alpha-QPSK,
and sends dummy frames on another channel.
The BTS determines whether the MS supports VAMOS based on the downlink
quality changes.
The BSC records the MS type (TAC in the IMEI) based on

the BTS test result and periodically exports the records to
the OMU.
Page22

You can run EXP MSSAICCAPMML to convert the BSC detection

result into a man-machine language (MML) script and save it in
\bam\version_x\ftp \ms_saic_cap on the OMU. Here, x refers to
the specific version number.
You can use the file manager on the Web LMT to export the
generated MML script to a local path. Then, run the MML script to
import the automatic detection result into the MS database.
Mute-SAIC MS identification causes network key performance indicators

(KPIs) to degrade.
Page23

Automatic problem MS identification
Problem MS: An MS that supports SAIC and causes
call drops during multiplexing. This type of MSs
requires to be identified.
The procedure for identifying a problem MS is the

same as that for identifying a mute-SAIC MS.
Automatic problem MS identification causes KPIs to degrade.

Description of Key Parameters (1)

Parameter Name
Parameter Description
Impact on the Network
VAMOS Switch
Specifies whether to enable VAMOS on

the network.
VAMOS sacrifices quality to

increase capacity. Therefore, if
VAMOS is enabled in a cell, the
network capacity increases and
the congestion rate decreases,
but the network-quality KPIs are
affected to a certain extent.
Primary TSC in VAMOS
Specifies the primary TSC used on the

network when VAMOS is enabled in a
cell. Before any call enters the VAMOS
mode, the primary TSC is allocated
preferentially. After VAMOS pairing
succeeds, the primary and secondary
TSCs are determined based on the TSC
that is used by the first call connected to
the timeslot.
TSC selection affects MSs.
Secondary TSC in
VAMOS
Specifies the secondary TSC used on

the network when VAMOS is enabled in a
cell. Before any call enters the VAMOS
mode, the primary TSC is allocated
preferentially. After VAMOS pairing
succeeds, the primary and secondary
TSCs are determined based on the TSC
that is used by the first call connected to
the timeslot.
TSC selection affects MSs.
Page34
Description of Key Parameters (2)

Parameter Name
Parameter Description
Impact on the Network
Allow alpha-QPSK Power

Control
Specifies whether to enable the alphaQPSK power control sub-algorithm of the

VAMOS technology (one timeslot
multiplexed by voice services of multiple
users).
If the alpha-QPSK downlink power

control algorithm is enabled, the BTS
power consumption decreases, the
network interference decreases, and the
downlink network drive test (DT) quality
is improved.
Allow SIC Power Control
Specifies whether to enable the uplink SIC

power control sub-algorithm of the VAMOS
technology.
If the SIC uplink power control algorithm

is enabled, the MS power consumption
decreases, the network interference
decreases, and the uplink network DT
quality is improved.
Mute SAIC Terminal

Processing Switch
Specifies whether to enable the mute-SAIC

MS processing function of a cell. ON:
enable the mute-SAIC MS processing
function; Off: disable the mute-SAIC MS
processing function. Mute-SAIC MS
processing includes mute-SAIC matching
and identification based on the database
and automatic mute-SAIC identification.
If this switch is on, IMEI identification is

performed for a call before TCH
assignment. As a result, call connection
is delayed.
Auto Mute SAIC

Identification Switch
Specifies whether to enable the automatic

mute-SAIC identification function of a cell.
Mute-SAIC MS: An MS that supports SAIC
but is reported as incapable of SAIC. ON:
enable the automatic mute-SAIC
identification function of a cell; Off: disable
the automatic mute-SAIC identification
function of a cell.
If this switch is on, uplink and downlink

DTX must be disabled during muteSAIC identification, and this influences
the network interference. Alpha-QPSK
modulation is used in the downlink, and
the downlink receiving quality is
degraded in a call.

Counter Description
This counter measures the total number of new calls that
meet the VAMOS candidate user conditions during
assigned channel multiplexing determination. If the value
of this counter is low, it indicates that the SD channel
quality is low or the number of new calls that meet the
VAMOS candidate user conditions is small because the
VAMOS candidate user conditions set for new calls are
strict (excessively higher requirements for quality and
ATCB).
This counter measures the total number of times that a new
call during assignment and an established call can be
paired (the paring is determined in assignment mode) in a
cell. It is used to calculate the assigned channel
multiplexing success rate and the ratio of the number of
assigned channel multiplexing attempts to the total number
of channel multiplexing attempts. If the value of this counter
is far smaller than the value of Number of Successful
VAMOS Candidate Call Decisions (Assignment)
, you can loosen the path loss offset threshold and VAMOS
overload threshold involved in assigned channel
multiplexing determination to allow more users to be paired.
This counter measures the total number of VAMOS
channel assignment commands for VAMOS channel
multiplexing (VAMOS channel multiplexing is triggered by
assignment) in a cell. If the value of this counter is far
smaller than the value of
Number of VAMOS Channel Multiplexing Attempts (Assignm
ent)
, it indicates that lower-layer connection fails or the Abis
interface resources are insufficient.

Counter Description
This counter measures the number of times that access to the

specified VAMOS channel fails after the VAMOS channel
assignment command is delivered after VAMOS channel
multiplexing is triggered by assignment in a cell. This counter
reflects the air interface quality during user access. If the
value of this counter is large, it indicates that the VAMOS
candidate user selected for pairing is improper. You can set
strict multiplexing candidate user determination conditions for
new calls to guarantee the performance during VAMOS
channel access by users.
This counter measures the total number of established calls
that meet the VAMOS candidate user conditions. If the value
of this counter is low, it indicates that the quality of the channel
for non-VAMOS calls is low or the VAMOS candidate user
conditions set for established calls are strict (excessively
higher requirements for quality and ATCB). You can adjust the
power control parameters or loosen the VAMOS candidate
user conditions for new calls to allow more established
VAMOS candidate users.
This counter measures the total number of times that two
established calls can be paired (the pairing is determined in
intra-cell handover mode) in a cell. It is used to calculate the
success rate of VAMOS channel multiplexing handovers. If the
value of this counter is small, it indicates that the number of
non-VAMOS that can be paired on the network is small. You
can adjust the power control parameters for common calls to
improve the common call quality or loosen the VAMOS
multiplexing determination conditions for established calls to
increase the number of VAMOS candidate users on the
network; in addition, you can loosen the path loss threshold
during intra-cell channel multiplexing determination to allow
more users to be paired.

Counter Description
This counter measures the number of handover
commands of all the calls that are handed over due to
VAMOS channel multiplexing triggered by intra-cell
handover in a cell. If the value of this counter is far
smaller than the value of
Number of VAMOS Channel Multiplexing Commands (Int

, it indicates that lower-layer connection fails or the Abis
interface resources are insufficient.
This counter measures the number of times that access
the specified VAMOS channel fails after the handover
commands are delivered (the commands correspond to
all the calls that are handed over due to VAMOS
channel multiplexing triggered by intra-cell handover) in
a cell. This counter reflects the air interface quality
during user access. If the value of this counter is large,
it indicates that the VAMOS candidate user selected for
pairing is improper. You can set strict multiplexing
candidate user determination conditions for new calls to
guarantee the performance during user handover.
This counter measures the total number of handovers
that trigger VAMOS channel demultiplexing in a cell. If
the value of this counter is large, it indicates that
VAMOS demultiplexing is triggered frequently because
the VAMOS call power control parameters are improper
or the demultiplexing conditions are strict (high load
threshold, low quality threshold, and high ATCB
threshold).

parameters to decrease handovers of other types.
This counter measures the number of handover
commands of all the VAMOS calls that are handed over
due to other reasons in a cell. All the handovers except for
VAMOS demultiplexing handovers are included. If the
value of this counter is far smaller than the value of
Number of VAMOS Call Handover Attempts (Others), it
indicates that congestion occurs, lower-layer connection
fails, or Abis transmission resource allocation fails.
This counter measures the number of failed handovers
after handover commands are delivered (the handover
commands correspond to all the VAMOS calls that are
handed over due to other reasons) in a cell. This counter
reflects the air interface quality during user access. If the

the demultiplexing parameters so that demultiplexing is
triggered earlier.

because handover is not performed in time due to other
reasons. If handover is not performed in time due to
other reasons, you can adjust the handover algorithm
parameters so that handover is triggered earlier.

drops in the stable state in a cell. If the value of this
counter is large, it indicates that the call quality is low
