AMR 2 Overview
Issue Draft A (2012-04-28) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd

2 Overview
AMR is an adaptive multi-rate voice coding/decoding, which is termed full-rate speech version 3 andhalf-rate speech version 3 in GSM specifications. AMR enables the BTS and the MS to automatically
select an appropriate coding/decoding rate from the specified ACS according to the interference level inthe radio environment. This enhances the capability and the speech quality of the wirelesscommunication system.
AMR is classified into AMR FR and AMR HR. AMR specifies eight speech coding rates. Table 2-1 liststhe speech coding rates supported by AMR FR and AMR HR. (GBFD-115501 AMR FR, GBFD-115502 AMR HR)
Table 2-1 AMR speech coding rates

7.95 kbit/s √ √
10.2 kbit/s √ -
12.2 kbit/s √ -
NOTE-: not supported
√: supported
When SERVICEMODE of the BTS is set to IP or HDLC, Huawei BSS supports the AMR coding rate of 7.95 kbit/s.When SERVICEMODE of the BTS is set to TDM, Huawei BSS does not support the AMR HR coding rate of 7.95 kbit/s.
As listed in Table 2-1, the coding rates of 12.2 kbit/s and 10.2 kbit/s are supported by only the AMR FRchannel. The other six types of coding rates are supported by both the AMR FR channel and the AMRHR channel.
Each ACS contains a maximum of four coding schemes. One coding scheme corresponds to one
speech coding rate.
For an AMR FR call, the ACS contains a maximum of four speech coding rates of the eight rates listedin Table 2-1.
For an AMR HR call, the ACS contains a maximum of four speech coding rates of the six rates listed inTable 2-1.
When AMR is enabled on the network, the BSC selects an ACS and then a coding scheme from the ACS during the call establishment or the handover procedure. Meanwhile, the MS and the BTScontinuously measure the receive level, receive quality, and carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR). According to the measurement results, the MS and the BTS continuously evaluate the interferencelevel in the radio environment. The BTS then adjusts the speech coding rates of the MS and the BTSaccording to the evaluated interference level through the inband signaling.

3 Technical Description
3.1 Inband Signaling
Inband signaling is a type of signaling through which user data and control information are transmittedon the same channel. In this document, the inband signaling refers to the AMR control information suchas the CMR and CMI that is transmitted through certain bits in the header of the Transcoder and Rate Adaptor Unit (TRAU) frame.
During a call, the MS and the BTS continuously measure the interference level experienced by thesignals and analyze the measurement results. Based on the measurement results, the AMR controlinformation is then exchanged through the inband signaling to enable the BTS to adjust the speechcoding rate involved in the ongoing speech service.
The AMR control information is transmitted through certain bits in the header of the TRAU frame. The AMR control information can be classified into the following types:
Downlink Codec Mode Request (DL CMR): The DL CMR occupies two bits in the header of the TRAUframe. It is used by the MS to send the recommended DL coding scheme to the BTS.
Downlink Codec Mode Indication (DL CMI): The DL CMI occupies two bits in the header of the TRAUframe. It is used by the BTS to send the current DL coding scheme to the MS.
Uplink Codec Mode Command (UL CMC): The UL CMC occupies two bits in the header of the TRAUframe. It is used by the BTS to send the UL coding scheme that should be used by the MS to the MS.
Uplink Codec Mode Indication (UL CMI): The UL CMI occupies two bits in the header of the TRAU frame.It is used by the MS to send the current UL coding scheme to the BTS.
Uplink Maximum Codec Mode Command (UL Max CMC): The UL Max CMC occupies three bits in theheader of the TRAU frame.
To implement AMR coding scheme adaptation, a Mode Control Entity is used in both the MS and theBTS, as shown in Figure 3-1.

Uplink direction
- The BTS measures the receive quality of the UL speech and generates the Uplink Measurement (ULMEAS).
- The Mode Control Entity of the BTS updates the UL CMC based on the UL MEAS generated by the
BTS.- The BTS instructs the MS to change the UL coding scheme through the UL CMC.
- The MS changes the UL coding scheme as indicated by the UL CMC and then sends the UL CMI tothe BTS to inform the BTS of the new UL coding scheme.
Downlink direction
- The MS measures the receive quality of the DL speech and generates the Downlink Measurement (DLMEAS). The Mode Control Entity of the MS converts the DL MEAS into the recommended DL codingscheme. Then, the MS sends the recommended DL coding scheme to the BTS through the DL CMR.
- The Mode Control Entity of the BTS updates the DL speech coding scheme based on therecommended DL coding scheme sent from the MS.
-
The BTS instructs the MS to use the new DL coding scheme through the DL CMI.
3.2 Speech Rate Adjustment
AMR speech rate adjustment is the process that the AMR coding scheme of a call on a channelfrequently changes to adapt to the variations of the interference level in the radio environment.
Each AMR coding scheme has an adjustment threshold, which is used to select the coding scheme thatis best suited to the CIR or Bit Error Rate (BER) of the interference level in the radio environment. Toavoid the constant changes of the coding scheme, the process of hysteresis is introduced. The value ofthe threshold ranges from 0 to 63. Value 1 indicates 0.5 dB, and value 2 indicates 1 dB. The rest may bededuced by analogy. The value of the hysteresis ranges from 0 to 15. The hysteresis value complementsthe threshold.
Figure 3-2 shows the procedure for AMR coding scheme adjustment.

The procedure for AMR UL speech rate adjustment is similar to the procedure for AMR DL speech rateadjustment. The AMR UL coding scheme is adjusted by the BTS, and the AMR DL coding scheme isadjusted by the MS. Figure 3-3 shows the procedure through which the BTS adjusts the AMR UL codingscheme.

The procedure through which the BTS adjusts the AMR UL coding scheme shown in Figure 3-3 isdescribed as follows:
1. During AMR FR call establishment, INITCDMDF specifies which coding scheme in ACTCDSETF should be used to make a call. During AMR HR call establishment, INITCDMDH specifies which
coding scheme in ACTCDSETH should be used to make a call.2. The RATECTRLSW parameter specifies whether the AMR speech rate is adjusted. The setting of
this parameter is described as follows:
− If this parameter is set to ALG1(Algorithm I), the BSC adjusts the AMR speech rate based on theCIR.
− If this parameter is set to ALG2(Algorithm II), the BSC adjusts the AMR speech rate based on theBit Error Rate (BER).
− If this parameter is set to NONE(None), the AMR coding rate adjustment is disabled.
3. If the RATECTRLSW parameter is set to ALG1(Algorithm I) or ALG2(Algorithm II), the AMRcoding scheme adapts to the change of the radio environment during the call according to theconfigured threshold and hysteresis.
The following description takes the adjustment of the AMR FR coding scheme as an example.
The currently used coding scheme is CODEC_MODE_1.
− If the filter value is greater than ULTHF1 plus ULHYSTF1 , the peer end needs to adjust the codingscheme to CODEC_MODE_2.
− In other cases, the coding scheme remains unchanged.
The currently used coding scheme is CODEC_MODE_2.
− If the filter value is greater than ULTHF2 plus ULHYSTF2 , the peer end needs to adjust the codingscheme to CODEC_MODE_3.
− If the filter value is smaller than ULTHF1 , the peer end needs to adjust the coding scheme toCODEC_MODE_1.
− In other cases, the coding scheme remains unchanged.
The currently used coding scheme is CODEC_MODE_3.
− If the filter value is greater than ULTHF3 plus ULHYSTF3 , the peer end needs to adjust the codingscheme to CODEC_MODE_4.
− If the filter value is smaller than ULTHF2 , the peer end needs to adjust the coding scheme toCODEC_MODE_2.
− In other cases, the coding scheme remains unchanged.
The currently used coding scheme is CODEC_MODE_4.
− If the filter value is smaller than ULTHF3 , the peer end needs to adjust the coding scheme toCODEC_MODE_3.
− In other cases, the coding scheme remains unchanged.
4. If the coding scheme is to be adjusted, the BTS sends a UL CMC to the MS. The procedure foradjusting the UL coding scheme by the BTS is complete.
The AMR HR calls use the same coding scheme policy adjustment as that used by the AMR full-ratecalls; however, they use different parameters. The AMR half-rate coding scheme involves the followingparameters: ULTHH1 , ULHYSTH1 , ULTHH2 , ULHYSTH2 , ULTHH3 , and ULHYSTH3 .
3.3 AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment
Generally, network planning engineers set the ACS, threshold parameters, and hysteresis parametersfor a cell according to the evaluation of the radio channel quality. When the radio channel quality keeps
changing or the quality evaluation is inaccurate, the parameter settings do not meet the requirements of

the speech services in the cell. In this case, the appropriate AMR coding scheme cannot be selected fora call, and the quality of the speech services is affected.
The AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment feature enables the BSC to monitor the speechquality in real time and to adaptively modify the threshold parameters. Therefore, an appropriate AMR
coding scheme can always be selected for the call. (GBFD-115506 AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment)
The principle for uplink adaptive adjustment of the threshold is the same as that for downlink adaptiveadjustment of the threshold.
When the BSC sends the BTS a channel activation or a speech coding scheme modification message,the channel activation or the speech coding scheme modification message carries LTFERUPTH , LTFERLOWTH , LTFERTGT , and LTTHADJFA , if AMRUADTHAW in the cell is set to YES(Yes) and thecall is an AMR call. On receiving the message, the BTS adaptively adjusts the AMR coding scheme forthe call.
When the BSC sends the BTS a channel activation or a speech coding scheme modification message,
the channel activation or the speech coding scheme modification message carries DLLTFERUPTH
, DLLTFERLOWTH , DLLTFERTGT , and DLLTTHADJFA , if AMRDADTHAW in the cell is set to YES(Yes) and the call is an AMR call. On receiving the message, the BTS adaptively adjusts the AMR codingscheme for the call.
3.4 Um Interface Speech Frame Repairing
This feature automatically repairs the bit-error speech frames over the Um interface, thereby minimizingthe impact of the bit-error speech frames on speech performance. This feature is implemented byapplying an enhanced decoding technique to the Um interface. (GBFD-115708 Um Interface SpeechFrame Repairing)
This feature, applicable to only the uplink, repairs speech frames in the source and channel decoding of
EFR and three types of AMR: 4.75 kbit/s, 7.40 kbit/s, and 12.2 kbit/s. Therefore, this feature improvesthe Mean Opinion Score (MOS) by 0.1 to 0.2 when the CIR is low.
To enable the Um Interface Speech Frame Repairing feature, set UMSFRSWITCH to YES(Yes).
3.5 AMR Power Control
The procedure of power control for AMR calls is similar to that for non-AMR calls. (GBFD-115503 AMRPower Control)
In Huawei II power control algorithm and Huawei III power control algorithm, parameters related to AMRpower control are configured separately from those related to non-AMR power control. The AMR callsand non-AMR calls can adopt different power control strategies. For details, see the Power Control
Feature Parameter Description. The following lists the parameters related to AMR power control. AMRPCADJPERIOD

3.6 AMR FR/HR Dynamic Adjustment
The AMR FR/HR Dynamic Adjustment feature is introduced in both handover algorithm I and handoveralgorithm II. For details, see the Handover Feature Parameter Description
This feature optimally balances the speech quality and the system capacity.
Before implementing the intra-cell AMR FR/HR Dynamic Adjustment, you must enable the half-rate service and AMR HR.
3.7 E-CODER
Enhanced Coding (E-CODER) optimizes AMR coding modules, therefore improving AMR voice quality.The emulation results show that E-CODER improves the MOS by 0.05 to 0.12. E-CODER is notsupported when A over IP and TFO are enabled. E-CODER is supported only in downlink.
To enable the E-CODER function, set EncodeMode to ECODEC(Enhanced code mode).
3.8 AMR Radio Link Timer AMR calls have stronger robustness than common calls. Therefore, AMR calls maintain good voicequality at a low rate even if common calls drop due to poor radio link quality. Setting the radio link timerfor AMR calls to the same value as that for common calls will cause unexpected AMR call drops. Thisdeteriorates user experience.
The Huawei BSC allows users to set radio link timers for AMR calls and common calls separately. Theradio link timers for AMR calls are classified into AMR FR and AMR HR radio link timers. Setting theradio link timer for AMR calls longer than that for common calls ensures that AMR calls are maintainedfor a long time in a poor radio environment. This reduces the call drop rate.
The AMR FR radio link timer is determined by the AFRDSBLCNT and AFRSAMULFRM parameters.
The AMR HR radio link timer is determined by the AHRDSBLCNT and AHRSAMULFRM parameters.

5 Impact on the Network
5.1 AMR FR
5.1.1 Impact on System Capacity
The AMR FR feature provides a strong anti-interference capability to calls. This allows tight frequencyreuse and increases system capacity.
With this feature, calls in some weak coverage areas can be maintained. This reduces the possibility ofactive hang-ups, increasing the traffic volume.
5.1.2 Impact on Network Performance
The voice quality of 12.2 kbit/s AMR FR calls is equivalent to that of EFR calls and is better than that ofFR calls. In areas with weak signals, the voice quality of low-rate AMR FR calls is much better than that
of EFR and FR calls because of strong robustness of AMR FR calls.
5.2 AMR HR
5.2.1 Impact on System Capacity
When network capacity is limited, the AMR HR feature increases system capacity and reduces thenetwork congestion rate while maintaining acceptable voice quality.
5.2.2 Impact on Network Performance
The voice quality of 7.4 kbit/s AMR HR calls is better than that of HR calls. In weak coverage areas, thevoice quality of low-rate AMR HR calls is much better than that of HR calls because of strong robustness
of AMR HR calls.
5.3 AMR Power Control
5.3.1 Impact on System Capacity
The AMR Power Control feature improves the anti-interference capability. This allows tight frequencyreuse and increases system capacity.
5.3.2 Impact on Network Performance
AMR optimizes the speech codec but not the signaling codec. Therefore, AMR slightly affects the
handover success rate theoretically. AMR can expand the radio network coverage. Therefore, MSs canmake calls even if they are located in weak coverage areas. However, the receive quality inmeasurement reports (MRs) is poor, leading to bad quality handovers. When AMR is enabled, thenumber of bad quality handovers may increase. When the AMR Power Control feature is enabled,network interference decreases, and the number of handovers due to interference decreases.
This feature enhances the anti-interference capability for AMR calls, improving voice quality experienceof subscribers in weak coverage areas.

5.4.2 Impact on Network Performance
The AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment feature makes AMR coding rate adjustmentthresholds and hysteresis more adaptive to the Um interface quality, improving the voice quality.

5.5.1 Impact on System Capacity
None
5.5.2 Impact on Network Performance
In weak coverage areas with low a CIR, the Um Interface Speech Frame Repairing feature reduces theproportion of frame loss due to poor signal quality, improving the voice quality.
5.6 AMR Radio Link Timer
5.6.1 Impact on System Capacity
None
5.6.2 Impact on Network Performance
AMR FR improves the robustness of AMR FR speech frames but not the robustness of SACCH signalingframes. Therefore, AMR FR does not affect the TCH call drop rate theoretically. In practice, however,when AMR FR is enabled, the TCH call drop rate increases because of the following causes:
For EFR/FR/HR calls, SACCH signaling frames have the similar robustness to that of speech frames.Therefore, a subscriber in a weak coverage area may hang up the phone because of poorconversation quality. Such a hang-up is not counted as a call drop. However, such a hang-up for an AMR call is counted as a call drop.
When AMR FR is enabled, the robustness of AMR FR speech frames is stronger than that of SACCHsignaling frames. Therefore, speech frames area can be correctly decoded in a weak coverage, andtherefore subscribers will not hang up the phone. SACCH frames, however, cannot be correctlydecoded. Therefore, RLT expires, and call drops occur, leading to an increase in the TCH call droprate.
AMR FR and AMR HR incorporates the following parameters: AFRDSBLCNT , AHRDSBLCNT , AFRSAMULFRM , and AHRSAMULFRM . By modifying the settings of these parameters, you canimprove the robustness of SACCH signaling frames and enhance network coverage performance using AMR to decrease the TCH call drop rate.
5.7 AMR FR/HR Dynamic Adjustment
5.7.1 Impact on System Capacity
Conversion from AMR FR to AMR HR increases network capacity and decreases network deploymentcosts while maintaining voice quality.
5.7.2 Impact on Network Performance
Conversion from AMR HR to AMR FR improves the Um interface quality when the radio link qualitydeteriorates. This improves network performance.

AMR 6 Engineering Guidelines
Issue Draft A (2012-04-28) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd
6-1
6 Engineering Guidelines
6.1 When to Use AMR
6.1.1 AMR FR and AMR HR
It is recommended that the AMR FR or AMR HR feature be used in the following scenarios:
Capacity-sufficient scenarios: If the number of AMR calls reach a certain proportion, enable AMR FRor AMR HR in some cells to improve voice quality and user experience.
Capacity-limited scenarios: Based on the strong anti-interference capability of AMR, tight frequencyreuse can be used. Based on the similarity of voice quality between AMR FR used with AMR HR and AMR FR, some HR channels can be used to improve the network capacity while maintaining networkquality.
6.1.2 AMR Power Control
It is recommended that the AMR Power Control feature be used with AMR FR or AMR HR. Thisenhances anti-interference capability, increases network capacity, and improves voice quality.
6.1.3 AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment
It is recommended that the AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment feature be used whenradio link quality varies frequently or network planning personnel are difficult to predict radio quality. Withthis feature, the BTS adaptively adjusts AMR coding rate thresholds to ensure AMR performance.
6.1.4 Um Interface Speech Frame Repairing
It is recommended that the Um Interface Speech Frame Repairing feature be used when poor uplinkreceive quality causes a high uplink Frame Erase Ratio (FER). This feature repairs speech frames,improving uplink voice quality.
6.1.5 AMR Radio Link Timer
It is recommended that the AMR Radio Link Timer feature be used with AMR FR or AMR HR. Thisdecreases the call drop rate and improves user experience.
6.1.6 AMR FR/HR Dynamic Adjustment
It is recommended that the AMR FR/HR Dynamic Adjustment feature be used in a capacity-limitedscenario where both AMR FR and AMR HR are used. This helps balance cell capacity and voice quality.
6.2 Information to Be Collected
6.2.1 AMR FR and AMR HR
Before deploying the AMR FR or AMR HR feature, collect the following information: AMR-capable MSpenetration rate and Um-interface coverage quality. For AMR HR deployment, you also need to learnabout the network load. If the network is congested, you are advised to enable AMR HR.

6.2.3 AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment
Before deploying the AMR Coding Rate Threshold Adaptive Adjustment feature, analyze networkinterference and determine AMR coding rate adjustment thresholds. This feature supports the functionsof uplink and downlink AMR coding rate threshold adaptive adjustment. The downlink AMR coding ratethreshold adaptive adjustment function depends on the Enhanced Measurement Report (EMR) feature.Before enabling this function, collect the EMR-capable MS penetration rate.
6.2.4 Um Interface Speech Frame Repairing
Before deploying the Um Interface Speech Frame Repairing feature, check whether there are a largenumber of calls with poor uplink quality.
6.2.5 AMR Radio Link Timer
Before deploying the AMR Radio Link Timer feature, collect the AMR FR or AMR HR call drop rate.
6.2.6 AMR FR/HR Dynamic AdjustmentBefore deploying the AMR FR/HR Dynamic Adjustment feature, check whether the network is congestedand whether AMR HR is enabled.
6.3 Network Planning
6.3.1 AMR FR and AMR HR
RF Planning
According to the impact of AMR on network capacity and quality, RF planning for AMR is as follows:Compared with FR and EFR, AMR supports a lower CIR with the same voice quality. In addition, AMRimproves network performance in a tight frequency reuse pattern. Therefore, you can configure somechannels on a TRX as AMR HR channels with the same network frequency planning so that these AMRHR channels are allocated to AMR calls. This increases system capacity.
Certain MSs do not support AMR. Therefore, you must appropriately plan the network capacity based onthe AMR-capable MS penetration rate and select a proper frequency reuse pattern for frequencyplanning. If you perform network planning without considering the MSs that do not support AMR, theoverall network KPIs deteriorate.

Meaning: Whether to enable the adaptive adjustmentfunction of AMR uplink threshold. After this function isenabled, the BTS estimates the long-term voice quality(indicated by the long-term FER(frame erase ratio)) andcompares the estimated result with the specified target voicequality. If the estimated result does not conform to the targetvoice quality, it indicates that the current AMR handoverthreshold is the best for the current radio conditions. In thiscase, the BSC6900 uses the relevant algorithm to adjust theadaptive threshold according to the relation between theestimated voice quality and the target voice quality.

AMRULLEVFTLEN
BSC6900 SETGCELLPWR2
Meaning: Number of measurement reports sampled foraveraging uplink AMR signal strength. A single measurementreport cannot reflect the actual network situations accurately.Therefore, the BSC needs to average the measured valuesin several successive measurement reports to reflect theradio environment.

AMRULPREDLEND
BSC6900 SETGCELLPWR2
Meaning: Number of uplink AMR measurement reports thatthe BSC predicts. The BSC takes a while to confirm thepower control effect of a power control command. Therefore,the BSC makes a power control decision based on ameasurement report that lags behind the changes in thereceive level and quality instead of reflecting the real-timeradio environment. As a result, the power control is late.
To avoid late power control to some extent, the power controlalgorithm involves a measurement report prediction filter.The BSC can sample several downlink measurement reportsin a short time and then weigh them to predict future N
measurement reports.
