    hi,
    Cells from the same BSC having different LAC could that be a problem??

    hello,

    no problem, but watch the A interfaces from MSC to BSC, and the BSC processing capacity : the N7 will bring 2x more Paging messages to the BSC.
    1 LAC for 1 BSC : only pagings for that LAC goes through A interface
    2 LACs : twice more pagings must be carried by N7 and processed by BSC.

    Hi Pix,

    can u tell something more about N7.what is this?

    Thanks in advance

    N7 : there is a “N7” TS on the A interface (BSC – MSC) that carries all the “N7” signalling 🙂
    this signalling is used to carry call setup information (Authentication, Ciphering, Calls Numbers, Handover Messages, etc)

    1 N7 Timeslot can take care of 120 calls.
    The call itself (the TCH if you prefer) is carried by another A nterface timeslot, which is called the “CIC”)

    Cheers

    Hi Pix,

    I dont think there will be twice number of pagings, as the LAC size will be halved, so the MS present in each LAC will be almost halved assuming the 2 LAC areas are of same size. The bottomline is that the number of paging will be same in the whole BSC as the MS present will remain same.

    taib,

    yes, you are totally right. why did I say something so stupid ?

    Maybe I meant to describe the case where the LACs are shared among several BSC… = the case where the size of the LAC doesn’t depend on the size of the BSC.

    1 LAC is spread over several BSCs -> 1x pagings over n BSC.
    2 LACs = 2x pagings.

    Cheers (and thanks for the correction !!)
