Principles of Idle Timeslot Assignment

This describes the principles of idle timeslot assignment. The idle timeslots carry the GPRS services in the BSS.

The principles of idle timeslot assignment are as follows:

• Idle timeslots are configured in the unit of BTS cabinet groups. Each BTS cabinet group can be added with a maximum of 128 idle timeslots at a time. A BTS can be configured with 512 idle timeslots.
• When you assign idle timeslots for a BTS, you can set the related attribute to manually assign timeslots on the Abis interface for the newly added idle timeslots.
• The configurations of idle timeslots involve adding and deleting idle timeslots.
• You can configure idle timeslots for the BTSs that are on only one link at a time.
