Abstract	Today's GSM and GPRS mobile networks are based on static 16 kbps terrestrial transport on the Abis interface using E1/T1 lines. For the introduction of the high data rate GPRS coding schemes such as CS4 with up to 20 kbps, EDGE with up to 59.2 kbps and high quality wideband adaptive multirate voice codecs with up to 23.85 kbps the terrestrial Abis capacity per air interface radio channel has to be extended. With FAAS a fully dynamic allocation strategy of n/spl times/16 kbps subslots is proposed on a per site basis for both voice and data to optimally match the capacity requirements of high bandwidth radio channels. The approach includes bringing up and releasing Abis resources out of the Abis resource pool on demand. The interaction with admission control, radio resource management and link adaptation involving upgrade and downgrade procedures is taken into account. To avoid unacceptable voice blocking a new concept for voice protection is included. Detailed simulation results for different cell configurations are presented for voice only and mixed voice and GPRS/EDGE packet data scenarios at varying load, which allow the appropriate dimensioning of the Abis resource pool per site. Depending on the cell load capacity gains up to 70% (typically 30-40% for medium load) can be achieved compared to a static Abis allocation approach promising considerable cost savings for operators.
