    1.0 INTRODUCTIONLikeany otherwirelesstechnology witha limitedpool of resources,

    GSMresourceallocationandterminationdependsprimarilyontimers.The

    functionality

    and

    protocols

    may

    vary,

    but

    the

    presence

    of

    timer

    based

    signaling and resource allocation is ubiquitous. Timer implementation is

    presentineachdomainoftheGSMsystemfromMStoNSSend.

    2.0 WHATDOESTHISMANUALCOVER?ThisdocumentaimstodescribeallthemajorBSStimers involved in

    theGSMarchitecture.Thetimersarecategorizedintodifferentsubgroups,

    dependingupontheirparententityandtheprocessflowtheyareinvolved

    in.The

    document

    proceeds

    further

    by

    giving

    a

    detailed

    explanation

    of

    each

    timeralongwithitsimplementationinthePMCLnetwork.

    3.0 WHYTHENEEDTOSTUDYTIMERS?As already highlighted, timer implementation is present throughout

    theGSMarchitecture.Timerseffectcallsetupprocedures,handovers,call

    clearing, data usage (GPRS), VAS facilities; in short, everything that a

    customermight

    do

    to

    access

    and

    utilize

    the

    GSM

    network.

    Therefore,

    for

    a

    high quality network, it is imperative to have impeccable timing. Precise

    synchronization and timing improves call signal hand over performance

    between base stations; and, as an added benefit, reduces customer

    complaints.GSMnetworksaredependenton strictsynchronizationof the

    basestationstofacilitatecallhandovers.

    Furthermore, the reason for a deep understanding of timers is also

    reenforcedbythemultivendorimplementationpresentatalllevelsofthe

    network.

    Such

    a

    scenario

    demands

    all

    database

    discrepancies

    to

    be

    eliminatedtoensurecoherenceandintervendorcompatibility.

    4.0 TIMERCATEGORIZATION4.1 ENTITYBASEDCATEGORIZATION

    Ashighlightedearlier there are differentways of categorizing timers. One

    categorization can be done on the basis of entity which includes the

    followingcategories:

    4.2 PROCESSFLOWBASEDCATEGORIZATION

    A further classification of GSM timers can be done on the basis of

    process flows involved in the system. These include the following basic

    categories:

    5.0 BREAKDOWN[PHASE1]The task of documenting the GSM timers is not an easy paced

    procedure. The project is divided into two phases. The first phase

    comprisedof

    the

    research

    for

    all

    the

    timers

    involved

    from

    MS

    to

    BSS

    as

    per

    the international GSM standards. In the second phase, vendor

    implementationsofthesetimersweretakenintoconsideration.Acomplete

    6.0 GSMTIMERSThe description of GSM Timers in isolation can often lead to

    confusion for the engineer. To ensure uniformity and ease of

    understanding,a

    format

    been

    used

    to

    describe

    in

    detail

    each

    timer.
