1 MS Unable to Access Network

1MS Unable to Access Network

1.1About Mobile Station Network Access

Once powered on, an MS first enters the System Determination Substate and then selects an analog system or CDMA system based on the parameters predefined in the mobile station by the user. If the CDMA system is selected, the mobile station will attempt to capture it and enters the Pilot Channel Acquisition Substate.

In this substate, the mobile station will first search the primary frequency bands for all pilot channels (search all PN offsets), and captures the strongest pilot channel. If there are no pilot channels captured on the basic frequency bands, the mobile station will tune to an auxiliary frequency band and continue searching for a pilot channel. When the mobile station has captured a pilot channel, it enters the Sync Channel Acquisition Substate.

In this substate, the mobile station will attempt to obtain a sync channel and receive synchronization messages. And by means of these messages, the mobile station can obtain the pilot PN offset, network system identity, long code status, system time, paging channel rate, frequency bands on which basic paging channels are, etc. Once this information is obtained, the mobile station will enter the Timing Change Substate.

In this substate, the mobile station will use the pilot PN offset, long code status received in the sync channel messages and synchronizes the long code status and system timing with the CDMA system timing. After that, the mobile station will enter the Mobile Station Idle State.

In the idle status, the mobile station needs to receive the overhead messages on the paging channels. The mobile station cannot work normally unless it has received correct Overhead Messages within the specified period of time.

If all the above conditions are satisfied, the mobile station will normally gain access to

anetwork.

1.2Disabled Mobile Station Network Access

1.2.1 Description of Fault

When started, the mobile station cannot access the CDMA network.

1.2.2 Fault Analysis and Location

Before locating any base station fault, make sure that the parameters for a mobile station are correctly set, such as the basic frequency band, auxiliary frequency band, SID, NID, etc.

I. Base station not in service

The base station is not in service and the mobile station cannot gain access to a network. The causes for the base station not to be in service include:

User Manual

 

Airbridge cBTS3612-450 12-carrier CDMA Base Station

1 MS Unable to Access Network

1)The base station equipment in a faulty status makes the base station fail to be in service.

2)The base station has not obtained correct configuration data, which leads to the base station not being in service.

For the troubleshooting details, please refer to "4 Base Station Initialization Failure Fault".

II. Abis signaling link fault

Abis signaling link fault will disable the network access of a mobile station.

1)If any fault occurs to the Abis signaling link after a base station has been in service, BSC cannot implement any logical configuration for the base station and accordingly the mobile station cannot gain access to a network.

2)If a base station has obtained its logic configuration, when any fault occurs to the Abis signaling link, the base station will cut off the transmission signals of BTRM corresponding to all sector carriers and this makes a mobile station unable to gain access to a network.

At an OMC or near-end maintenance console of a base station, query the current alarm of the base station to make sure whether there exists any "Abis signaling link fault" alarm.

For the troubleshooting details, please refer to "5.2 Abis signaling link fault".

III.A cell has not obtained the logic configuration of BSC

1)If a cell has no logical configuration, that is to say, such common channels as pilot, synchronization, paging, etc. have not been established or overhead messages not updated, the mobile station naturally cannot gain access to a network.

View the confiuguration process report of a cell at the OMC maintenance console. If the cell does not report the process of "Common channel successfully established" and "Overhead message successfully updated", it shows that the cell has no logic configuration.

2)Unavailable physical equipment or operation & maintenanace (for example, deletion of the equipment) results in the deletion of a logic cell, therefore the mobile station cannot gain access to a network.

View the configuration process report of a cell at an OMC maintenance console. If the cell reports the process report of "Cell deleted", it shows that the cell has been deleted.

In addition, you may query whether a cell has its logic configuration via the "Cell Status Query" command at the OMC maintenance console.

If a cell has not obtained its logic configuration, then check point by point:

Whether the BTRM used in this cell works normally.

Whether the BCPM used in this cell works normally.

Whether the corresponding BRDM works normally.

Whether the optical fiber of BTRM and that of BRDM are correctly connected.

Whether BCIM works normally.

Whether the Abis signaling link is in connected status.

Whether BSC works normally.

Check the configuration parameters of BTS and BSC and make sure that they are in accordance.

If any problem is found at some step, handle it according to the corresponding chapter or section. For example, a BTRM module fault should be handled as described in "6.5 BTS Transceiver Module (BTRM)".

IV. This cell is in blocked status

If you see at the OMC maintenance console that the logic configuration of a cell has been completed, but the mobile station still cannot gain access to a network, then you can check whether this cell is in blocked status.

When a cell is in blocked status, the base station will cut off the transmission signals of BTRM corresponding to this cell carrier and this makes the mobile station unable to gain access to a network.

You may query BTRM status at the OMC maintenance console to see whether the BTRM corresponding to this cell has been blocked.

If the cell is in blocked status, the mobile station cannot gain access to a network until the user has unblocked it.

V. Abnormal receiving channel

If you see at the OMC maintenance console that the logic configuration of a cell has been completed, but the mobile station still cannot gain access to a network, then you can check whether the receiving channel of a base station is abnormal.

An abnormal BS receiving channel will lead to excessive receiving error codes and frequent mobile station dropouts. The mobile station, when started, will send a power-on registration message to the system. However, the base station cannot receive this registration message because of a faulty receiving channel. Thus, the base station will not send any base station answer instruction to this mobile station, which leads to failed registration of this mobile station. Because of failed registration, the mobile station enters the system defining sub-status and recaptures the system. When the system is captured, the mobile station will start again the power-on registration. Such things happen repeatedly, so that the mobile station cannot gain access to a network.

You may test the mobile station via CDMA and trace air interface messages. If the mobile station sends "Registration message" but does not receive any "Base station answer instruction" message, it shows that some fault has occurred to the reverse receiving channel of the base station.

If there exists any receiving channel abnormality, you may check point by point as follows and make judgements by viewing related indicators, querying the board status and alarm information, etc.

Whether the CDU, RLDU and BTRM module are well installed and the panel screws are correctly fastened.

Whether the antenna feeder connection is correct.

Whether the CDU works normally.

Whether the RLDU works normally.

Whether the configuration selection switch "S/W" on the RLDU panel is set correctly. For the description of RLDU panel switch, please refer to "Board Indicator and DIP Switch" of "Base Station Maintenance" part in the user manual.

Whether the BTRM works normally.

Whether the BCPM works normally.

Whether the blind plugs of various modules of the receiving channel are normally connected and there is any loosening.

Whether the physical configuration data of the base station are correct, including the cell parameter, backward search parameters, etc.

If any problem is found at some step, handle it according to the corresponding chapter or section. For example, a BTRM module fault should be handled as described in "6.5 Transceiver Module (BTRM)".

VI. Abnormal transmission channel

Transmission activation (BTRM), BHPA, CDU and antenna feeder form the transmission channel. But an abnormal transmission channel will lead to no output signal from the base station or abnormal output signals. In this case, you may see at the OMC maintenance console that the logic configuration of a cell has been completed, but the mobile station still cannot gain access to a network. Then, you may check point by point as follows:

Whether the CDU, BHPA module and BTRM module are well installed and the panel screws correctly fastened.

Whether BTRM transmission activation part works normally.

Whether the CDU works normally.

Whether BTRM and BHPA are normally connected.

Whether the BHPA works normally.

Whether BHPA and CDU are connected.

Whether the feeder connection between CDU and the cabinet top is normal.

Whether the feeder connection between the cabinet top and the antenna is normal.

Whether the blind plugs of various modules of the receiving channel are normal and whether there is any loosening.

Whether the antenna is correctly installed.

Whether there is any standing wave ratio alarm.

If any problem is found at some step, handle it according to the corresponding chapter or section. For example, a BTRM module fault should be handled as described in "6.5 Transceiver Module (BTRM)".

VII. The cell gain and common channel gain are not correctly set

You may see at the OMC maintenance console that the logic configuration of a cell has been completed, but the mobile station still cannot gain access to a network. In this case, you may check whether various gain parameters during the cell configuration are correctly set.

When the cell is logically configured, such parameters as the sector gain, carrier gain, pilot channel gain, synchronization channel gain, paging channel gain, etc. must be configured. If these parameters are improperly set (for example, excessively small), the mobile station will not be able to capture the corresponding common channel and this makes the mobile station unable to gain access to a network.

Make sure whether the gain parameters contained in Abis-Cell Setup message are reasonable via the Abis interface message tracing tool. If unreasonable, the data configuration table of BSC must be modified and the gain parameters be configured again.

VIII. The overhead message content is not correct

You may see at the OMC maintenance console that the logic configuration of a cell has been completed, but the mobile station still cannot gain access to a network. In this case, you may check whether the overhead message content is correct.

Upon entering the idle status, the mobile station must receive all overhead messages (including at least the following four: the access parameter message, system parameter message, CDMA channel list message and adjacent area list message.

Other overhead messages depend on the setting of network parameters) configured in the whole system within the specified period of time. Otherwise, the mobile station cannot gain access to a network.

In addition, the value of the parameters in each overhead message will also make the mobile station unable to gain access to a network and needs confirming carefully.

With the air interface message signaling analyzer, you may check whether the mobile station has received the overhead messages configured in the whole system. In addition, you should check whether the parameter value of each overhead message is correct. If not, you may modify the data configuration table of BSC and update the overhead message again.

3 Software Downloading Failure Fault

3Software Downloading Failure Fault

3.1Description of Fault

I.FTP client login failure

OMC sends a command to an OMU (a base station operation & maintenance unit running on BCKM) to start downloading files from BAM. The OMU receives the command, but cannot log on to the FTP server of BAM. In this case, OMC background receives the abnormal halt message of OMU and FTP client login fails.

II. Abnormal halt of file loading by the board

When some board software is downloaded and activated by means of OMC, it is found that the whole stage from the starting of downloading and activating to the waiting for the activation report is normal. Then, OMC receives the abnormal halt message of OMU and file loading is abnormally halted by the board.

3.2 Fault Analysis and Location

I. FTP client login failure

1) Check whether the FTP server on BAM is in Stop status or correctly set.

First view whether the FTP server is in Stop status. If it runs normally, then check whether the FTP server is set correctly. FTP server settings include the following four: user name, user password, user accessible path and access authority. Any setting error will lead to failed login or failed board software loading.

When a base station loads software, the above four items are set as follows:

User name:

Password:

Access path:

Access authority:

OMU

OMU

Required to include the file path specified in the software uploading/downloading command.

The directory to be uploaded must be set as readable and writable.

2)Check whether OMU BOOTP is normal

OMU obtains the IP address of a base station by means of BOOTP request. If this process fails, OMU will not be able to obtain the IP address of the base station and naturally cannot log on to the FTP server of BAM. Usually, a disconnected link, wrong route or configuration data error may lead to the failed BOOTP process. These should be eliminated one by one. For details, please refer to "5.1 OML Signaling Fault".

II. Abnormal halt of file loading by the board

All load files must have the file headers in stipulated format, in which the file ID and file version must be consistent with the corresponding field in the activation command sent by OMC. Otherwise, the board will consider the software actually downloaded as inconsistent with that to be loaded and reports abnormality error.
