• Created a new Element Feature Specification describing the role of various BTS components
• through Use Cases
• Worked on QA Defect Fixing Activities.
• Guided new team members in their activities and helped them in understanding the system and new features.
• Identified the domain level requirements and updated interface specification accordingly. Raised appropriate issues and risk factors in the initial stage.
• Development of Overload management and 18C features.
• MT and SCT Testing of the complete TEL module.
• MT and SCT Testing of the complete TEL module.
• Suggesting various solutions with respect to implementation approach and resolving technical, functional and performance issues.

Designing Application Program Interface for protocol stack along with other feature development for Flexi Edge System in GSM network.

Nov’10-Dec’11

Project: Epsilon Flexi Edge BTS REL

EPSILON is BTS software that supports both Flexi Edge and Flexi Multi Base stations. TELECOM is one of the major modules in BTS. It involves developing and testing telecom domain tasks that are required to perform Telecom Signaling between BSC-BTS and BTS-MS. There are four basic SW modules:-
-Radio Resource Task
-LAPD Task
-LAPDm Task 
-IUA-SCTP Task

Environment: CCS Studio (Code Composer Studio) /Visual studio 2008
Target Platform: DSP BIOS

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Implemented application program interface for IUA-SCTP protocol stack so that it
• Can be used by upper layers.
• Prepared API document for iua and sctp separately.
• Involved in Layer-3 development of following BTS features:-
• OSC half rate and Full rate
• 8K TRAU support in case of Full rate
• Coordinating with testing team and Bug Fixing.
• Performing Code Reviews
• Created concise and well documented test plans, test cases, test stubs and test reports in different phases of testing (Module Testing, System Component testing, Base Station Integration and Feature Testing).
• Implementation and verification of Layer 2 Air Interface (LAPDm) as per 3GPP TS 44.006. Layer 3 air interface as per 3GPP TS 44.018.
• Contribution in the Requirement analysis, High level design, Low level design, coding, Unit testing and Integration testing.
• Interface of telecom software with other components in the System like BSC, DSP, Transmission, and TRX O&M.
• Logs Analysis and debugging of actual field issues.
