® GSM Signaling R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx What's New in this Revision 2 GSM Signaling With the "GSM Signaling" application, the R&S CMW can emulate a GSM base station (BS) transmitting a GSM downlink signal to which the GSM mobile station (MS) under test can synchronize.
® GSM Signaling R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx General Description 2.2.1 Test Setups The following sections provide an overview of typical test setups for the individual sce- narios. 2.2.1.1 Test Setup for Scenario Standard Cell The basic test setup for a standard cell scenario uses a bidirectional RF connection between the tester and the device under test (DUT), carrying both the downlink and the uplink signal: ●...

® GSM Signaling R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx General Description The RF connections between R&S CMW and DUT must be established in the same way as without external fading. 2.2.1.5 Test Setup for Standard Cell Internal Fading If internal fading shall be used, the test setup is the same as for the standard cell sce- nario without fading.

® GSM Signaling R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx General Description ● Set Level Via = PEP ● PEP = PEP value displayed in step 4 6. In the R&S AMU200A, activate fading and note the signal level. If you add noise to the signal, note the signal level without noise. 7.
® GSM Signaling R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx General Description 2.2.4.1 Fading Simulator Multi-path fading is an effect which occurs in real world situations. A signal sent from the base station may take different routes (direct line of sight and/or reflected) and reach the receiving antenna at different times leading to a sum of phase shifted and, if the receiver is moving, frequency shifted signals.

This firmware application provides the routing of speech coder either to audio connectors or to internal audio generator and meas- urements.

® GSM Signaling R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx General Description The "TBF Established" state was specified especially in order to facilitate production tests. The PS states "On", "Attached" and "TBF Established" must not be confused with the mobility management states Idle, Standby and Ready defined in 3GPP TS 23.060.
® GSM Signaling R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx General Description If the MS performs a combined attach, the CS "Synchronized" state is reached together with the PS "Attached" state. ● Detaching: A GPRS detach is always initiated by the mobile station. ● Route Area Update: The mobile performs a routing area update, either triggered by timer T3312 (peri- odic routing area update) or because the Routing Area Code (RAC) has been changed.
Page 28
® GSM Signaling R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx General Description The handover parameters are different for CS and PS connections, see section "Inter/Intra RAT ... (hotkey)" on page 86. After successful handover, the connec- tion is continued, using the "Destination Parameters". ● Redirection: The R&S CMW performs an RR connection release with redirection information.
® GSM Signaling R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx General Description When the same downlink path is used for BCCH and TCH (e.g. standard cell sce- nario), the BCCH is usually no longer available after the handover, because the fre- quency bandwidth supported by a single RF path is too small to cover both the BCCH band and the TCH band.

This is especially useful to trigger GSM TX measurements (option R&S CMW-KM200). The available trigger signals are described below.

Page 38
® GSM Signaling R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx General Description In this context two measurement results are defined. The Residual Bit Error Rate (RBER) characterizes the quality of transmission of the residual frames and the Frame Erasure Ratio (FER) indicates the percentage of erased frames. Please note that AMR full rate speech frames contain no class II bits, so select a differ- ent speech channel coding if you want to measure the RBER for class II bits.

Page 40
® GSM Signaling R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx General Description R&S CMW sends PCL instructions over the SACCH and compares them with the reported PCL of the MS. To make the evaluation possible, varying PCL values are transmitted in consecutive SACCH frames. The R&S CMW changes between the PCL values 7, 8, and 9, follow- ing the rules for the repeated SACCH reference sensitivity test (see 3GPP TS 51.010, clause 14.2.26).

® GSM Signaling R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx General Description Furthermore during the BLER measurement the R&S CMW periodically transmits a packet system information message on one of the configured slots. This message is not recognized as a data block, and it is therefore not counted as RLC data block, but it requires about 20 ms transmission time, which are included in the total measurement time.

The relationship between the step length, measured steps per segment and segment length is shown below.

® GSM Measurements R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx General Description 8PSK channels (the so-called EDGE channels) and 16-QAM channels are used for data transmission; only normal bursts are transmitted. The R&S CMW supports uplink 16-QAM channels at normal symbol rate (EGPRS2-A channels). Hence, the symbol rate for 8PSK channels and 16-QAM channels is the same as for GMSK modulation, which corresponds to a bit rate of 3 x 270.833 kbit/s and 4 x 270.833 kbit/s, respec- tively.

® GSM Generator R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx General Description The SACCH frames are used for PCL signaling while a TCH burst configuration is active. The data content of the BCCH bursts and the TCH bursts is described in the following sections. 4.2.6.1 BCCH Data In order to facilitate MS operation, the R&S CMW transmits System Information (SI) messages in its BCCH burst.
® GSM Generator R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx Application Sheets The EGPRS modulation and coding schemes 5 and 9 use different header formats; see standard 3GPP TS 45.002, section 6.3.1.3. The TCH/FS signals (in combination with an alternating data source) and SRB/MCS-9 signals (in combination with a "BER Pattern") are particularly suited for Bit Error Rate (BER) tests using the "GSM Measurement"...

® GSM Generator R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx Application Sheets Limitations concerning measured burst types Synchronization bursts, dummy bursts, and frequency correction bursts are transmitted by GSM base stations only. The GSM multi evaluation measurement is optimized for mobile station tests; it is not appropriate for measuring these downlink burst types. 4.3.2 GSM BER Tests on Real-Time Signals This application sheet describes a GSM Bit Error Rate (BER) test using the real-time GSM generator as a test signal source.

® GSM Generator R&S CMW-KG2xx/-KM2xx/-KS2xx Application Sheets veniently, a bi-directional connection with a single coax cable is used. The DUT is con- nected to one of the RF input connectors (RF COM) at the front panel of the R&S CMW. No additional cabling and no external trigger is needed. The input level ranges of all RF COM connectors are identical.
