<h1>Overview of implementing EGPRS</h1>

<p>This is a summary of the tasks needed to implement EGPRS.</p>


<p>The tasks depend on whether you are integrating a new EDGE
BSS to the radio network, or implementing EDGE in an already integrated GPRS
BSS.</p>


<p>You can activate EDGE in the network using NetAct. This
is described in sections <em>Activating EDGE in an already
commissioned UltraSite BTS</em> and <em>Modifying EDGE in
an already commissioned UltraSite BTS</em>.</p>


<p>For more information, see NetAct documentation: <em>Building
and Extending EDGE Coverage in OSS.</em></p>

<div class="topic">
<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
</div>


<p>Node Managers (Remote BTS manager, UltraSite BTS Hub Manager)
must be integrated to NetAct. For more information, see NetAct documentation.</p>


<p>OSS3.1ED2 software is the prerequisite for the RNW Planning
tools such as Plan Manager. For Node Manager server concept, ED1 is sufficient.</p>


<p>If NetAct - Node Manager Server GUI integration is used,
the prerequisite is ED2 with CD166.</p>


<p>Take into account the following:</p>


<ul>
<li><p>When the TRX has been created with
EDAP defined at BSC and EGPRS feature is enabled, the TRX must be attached
to <a href="NED?action=retrieve&amp;identifier=general_glossary&amp;edition=13&amp;language=en&amp;coverage=global&amp;encoding=xhtml_1_0&amp;component=data&amp;item=data&amp;pointer=id018267#id018267" onclick="openSmallPopup(event,'NED?action=retrieve&amp;identifier=general_glossary&amp;edition=13&amp;language=en&amp;coverage=global&amp;encoding=xhtml_1_0&amp;component=data&amp;item=data&amp;pointer=id018267#id018267');return false" shape="rect" target="_blank">EDAP</a> on the BTS side as well. Otherwise the configuration
of BCF will fail.</p>
</li>
<li><p>EDAP in BSC must be inside the TSL
boundaries defined in the BTS side.</p>


<p>This requirement has to be taken into account also when
modifying EDAP size or changing the first and/or the last timeslot. The timeslot
indexes in the BSC and BTS also have to match, regardless of how the timeslots
are routed through the transmission network. In other words, when modifying
EDAP the size of EDAP in the BTS has to be the same as the size of EDAP in
the BSC.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Creating, modifying or deleting of
EDAP in the BSC will cause a territory downgrade/upgrade procedure to all
territories served by the PCU in question. This will make ongoing EGPRS/GPRS
connections to pause and resume immediately.</p>
</li>
<li><p>The maximum EDAP size is 12 timeslots.</p>
</li>
<li><p>EDAP must be located on the same ET-PCM
line as TRX signaling and traffic channels.</p>
</li>
<li><p>There are no specific commissioning
tests concerning EDAP.</p>
</li>
<li><p>EDAP must be located on the same BCSU
as Gb interface.</p>
</li>
</ul>
