Congestion Start Threshold Value Range:

30–100

Unit:

None

Default Value:

90 This parameter is also referred to as flow control start threshold. The Pb signaling link is based on the LAPD protocol between the BSC and the PCU. The congestion status of the logical link is measured according to the length of the queue of frame I. If the queue is long, the link is congested. If the length of the queue exceeds the congestion start threshold, the link is overloaded. Then all the downlink paging messages and all the uplink channel request messages are discarded.

Description:

During the link recovery, if the length of the queue is greater than the congestion end threshold but smaller than or equal to the congestion start threshold, the paging messages of the short message service are discarded. If the length of the queue is smaller than or equal to the congestion end threshold, no message is discarded. Then the flow control stops. If the start threshold is excessively high, the flow control will be delayed and the Pb signaling link cannot work normally. If the end threshold is excessively high, the congestion control will be ended ahead of time. Thus the result of the congestion control is poor and the Pb signaling link cannot work normally. The difference between the congestion start threshold and the congestion end threshold cannot be too small. If the difference is too small, the Pb signaling link will not work normally and the flow control will be frequently started. LAPD: Link Access Procedure on the D channel

Remarks:

The congestion start threshold must be greater than the congestion end threshold.

RXLEV-ACCESS-MIN For details about this parameter, see protocol 0508. Description:

Remarks:

This parameter indicates the minimum level of received signals required for the MS to access the system. If the parameter value is small, the required level of received signals is low. If the parameter value is great, the required level of received signals is high. If the parameter value is too small, the required level of received signals is low. Therefore, many MSs attempt to camp on the cell, thus increasing the load of the cell and the risk of call drops. In such a case, you must set the parameter value based on the balance conditions of the uplink and downlink levels.

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



This parameter indicates whether a cell is an extension cell and the method of realizing extension cell. Description:

The double timeslot extension cell corresponds to typical solution extension. The double timeslot extension cell uses the additional TDMA frame as the access delay extension. In theory, it supports the TA that is equal to 219, that is, a delay of about 120 km. If a cell is a double timeslot extension cell, the Max TA should be set to 219. Otherwise, call failures may occur though there are signals.

Remarks:

For the double timeslot carrier of the double timeslot extension cell, only the even timeslot is functional. For the normal carrier of the double timeslot extension cell, it is the same as the carrier of the normal cell, this is, eight timeslots are functional. The RF hopping configuration of the double timeslot extension cell is similar to the RF hopping configuration of the normal cell. When the cell is a double timeslot extension cell and the hopping mode is band hopping, ensure that the carriers in one MA set are of the same type. That is, all the carriers in one MA set are double-timeslot carriers or normal carriers. Otherwise, an error may occur.

Cell Type Value Range:

Normal Cell, Concentric Cell

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Normal Cell This parameter indicates whether the cell is a normal cell or a concentric cell. The concentric cell means that concentric circles with different radius are formed because the coverage of different carriers in a cell is different.

Description:

Because the coverage range of the internal circle and the external circle is different, the two circles can be logically considered as two cells. The internal circle has many channels, so it is a main traffic bearer layer and serves most subscribers in the coverage area of the cell. The external circle is used to solve the coverage problem. It covers the area that cannot be covered by the internal circle. The coverage range of the external circle contains the internal circle. Thus, the external circle can share certain traffic.

Remarks:

The concentric circle technology of Huawei is used to divide the coverage area of the cell into an internal circle and an external circle. The carriers of the internal circle and the external circle can use different frequency reuse patterns. The concentric circle technology can be used with the frequency planning technology. In this way, the network quality can be improved at the same time the network capacity is expanded.

UL DTX Value Range:

May use, Shall use, Shall not use

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Shall use This parameter indicates whether the MS is allowed to use the uplink DTX. For details about DTX, see the protocol 0508. The discontinuous transmission (DTX) function allows the MS to stop power transmission in the case of no voice transfer. This function has the following benefits:

Description:

z

On the uplink: decreasing the power consumption of the MS and reducing system interference

z

On the downlink: decreasing power consumption of the BTS, reducing system interference, and reducing intermodulation inside the BTS

For the entire network, if the frequency interference is reduced, the network capacity may increase. The following functions must be enabled before you enable the DTX function:

Remarks:

z

Voice activation detection (VAD) function

z

Silence descriptor (SID) function

z

Comfort noise function

You can also determine whether the downlink DTX function is enabled in the BSC through parameter setting. For details about parameter setting, see Whether to Use Downlink DTX in the Cell Attribute table.

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



Encryption Algorithm Value Range:

A5/0 (mandatory), A5/1– A5/7

Unit:

None

Default Value:

10000000 (A5/0) This parameter (from the most significant bit to the least significant bit) indicates whether the A5/0, A5/1, A5/2…A5/7 encryption algorithm is supported respectively.

Description:

1: It indicates that the BSS supports the encryption algorithm. 0: It indicates that the BSS does not support the encryption algorithm. This parameter determines the encryption algorithm to be supported. This parameter cannot be set to all 0s. The most significant bit must be 1, that is, the A5/0 algorithm must be supported.

Remarks:

The encryption settings at the BSS side and at the NSS side must be consistent. Whether to enable encryption in the system and which encryption algorithm is to be used must be described in the MAP function flow of the MSC. The specific encryption algorithm must be set based on the data configuration of the BSC and the capability of the MS.

Call re-establishment Forbidden Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Yes This parameter indicates whether the network allows call re-establishment.

Description:

Remarks:

If a call drop is caused by the radio link fault in the dead zone due to burst interference and high building, the MS can start the call re-establishment procedure to resume the call. The permission of call re-establishment may decrease the mean call drop rate, but it may take a long time. This function is applicable to the suburbs or urban areas with poor coverage. None

TCH Immediate Assignment Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

No

Description:

Yes: It indicates that the TCH is immediately assigned when the SDCCH has no available resource during the processing of access request. No: It indicates that only the SDCCH can be assigned.

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)


3-9



Remarks:

None

Direct Retry Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Yes This parameter indicates the switch of TCH direct retry. If this parameter is set to Yes, the handover procedure is used and the MS is handed over to the neighboring cell.

Description:

Direct retry is an emergency measure for abnormal peak traffic in the local wireless network. It is not a primary method of clearing traffic congestion. If direct retry is preformed frequently in a local network, you must adjust the sector carrier configuration of the BTS and the network layout.

Remarks:

None

UL PC Allowed Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Yes

Description:

This parameter indicates whether the adjustment of MS power is allowed. At the band 900 MHz, the power control level of the MS is from 0 to 19 (totally 20 levels). Generally, the maximum power control level supported by the MS is 5 (mapping to 33 dBm), and the minimum power control level supported by the MS is 19 (mapping to 5 dBm).

Remarks:

At the bands 1800 MHz and 1900 MHz, the power control level of the MS is from 0 to 31 (totally 32 levels). Generally, the maximum power control level supported by the MS is 0 (mapping to 30 dBm), and the minimum power control level supported by the MS is 15 (mapping to 2 dBm). Other power control levels are reserved for high-power MSs.

DL PC Allowed

3-10

Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Yes

Description:

This parameter indicates whether the adjustment of BTS power is allowed.


Issue 03 (2007-05-09)


Remarks:


The downlink power control (at the BTS side) supports a maximum of 15 levels. Each level supports dynamic power control of 2 dB.

SD Dynamic Allocation Allowed Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Yes This parameter indicates the switch of TCH and SDCCH dynamic adjustment. This parameter indicates whether the SDCCH dynamic allocation is allowed.

Description:

When the number of GSM subscribers in a cell increases rapidly, many subscribers may fail to access the network due to insufficient SDCCH resource. In this case, the TCH (including TCH and dynamic PDCH that acts as TCH) must be converted into SDCCH to ensure the access of most subscribers. The SDCCH dynamic adjustment increases system capacity and reduces the dependence on the calculation accuracy of signaling channel requirement.

Remarks:

The SDCCH dynamic adjustment may increase the traffic of handover in the cell.

GPRS Support Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

No This parameter indicates whether the general packet radio service (GPRS) is allowed in the cell.

Description:

Remarks:

The GPRS requires the support of the BTS. In addition, a packet control unit (PCU) must be added at the BSS side, and a serving GPRS support node (SGSN) must be added in the core network. For the BTS versions that do not support GPRS and the cells in which GPRS is not activated, the value of GPRS Support must be set to No. Otherwise, some MSs may fail to access the network.

EDGE Support

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)

Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

No


3-11



Description:

The enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE) consists of EGPRS and ECSD. The EGPRS is the enhanced GPRS, which improves the data rate of each data channel. The EGPRS improves the capability of single timeslot data transmission through the 8PSK modulation mode on the Um interface and improves the data transmission capability of a single subscriber through multiple timeslots binding.

Remarks:

For the BTS versions that do not support EDGE and the cells in which EDGE is not activated, the value of EDGE Support must be set to No. Otherwise, some MSs may fail to access the network.

DL DTX Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

No

Description:

This parameter indicates whether downlink DTX is used in a cell.

Remarks:

The use of downlink DTX is also controlled by the DTX switch in the MSC. If downlink DTX is forbidden in the MSC, downlink DTX is not used regardless of the setting of this parameter. If downlink DTX is allowed in the MSC, the setting of this parameter can determine whether downlink DTX is used in the cell.

Support NACC Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

No This parameter indicates whether the cell supports the Network Assisted Cell Change (NACC) function.

Description:

The NACC function means that the network notifies the MS (in the packet transmission state) of the system information about the neighboring cells in advance in NC0, NC1, or NC2 network control mode. Thus the cell reselection of the MS is quickened. The BSC plays a minor role in the NACC function. It sends the system information about the cell and the information about the neighboring cells to the PCU instead of participating in the NACC processing.

Remarks:

This parameter requires the support of licenses.

Support PACKET SI STATUS

3-12

Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None


Issue 03 (2007-05-09)


Default Value:


No This parameter indicates whether the cell supports the PACKET SI STATUS procedure.

Description:

Remarks:

The PACKET SI STATUS procedure means that the MS sends the Packet PSI/SI Status message to the network side if the cell is configured with PBCCH. The message indicates the system information stored in the MS. The network side sends the Packet Serving Cell Data message, indicating the system information that are not stored in the MS, to the MS. None

Support NC2 Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

No This parameter indicates whether the cell supports the Network Control 2 (NC2) function.

Description:

NC2 refer to network control mode 2. It indicates that the MS sends the measurement reports of the current cell and of the neighboring cells to the PCU. The network side controls the MS to perform cell reselection.

Remarks:

This parameter requires the support of licenses.

PCU Support 64 Adjacent Cells Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

No This parameter indicates whether the PCU where the cell stays supports 64 neighboring cells.

Description:

If the parameter is set to Yes, the BSC can report the information about all the neighboring cells to the PCU when the number of neighboring cells for the current cell exceeds 32. If the parameter is set to No, the BSC reports the information about a maximum of 32 neighboring cells to the PCU.

Remarks:

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)

This parameter is configured only when the PCU supports 64 neighboring cells.


3-13



3.2 Idle Attribute Parameters 3.2.1 Basic Idle Parameters ATT Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Yes This parameter indicates whether IMSI attach-detach is allowed. For different cells in the same LAC, their ATTs must be the same.

Description:

If this parameter is set to Yes, network connection is not provided after the MS is powered off, thus saving the network processing time and network resources.

Remarks:

None

Tx-integer (RACH Timeslot (equals a TDMA frame, 4.615ms))

Default Value:

32


Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



This parameter indicates the number of timeslots in an interval when an MS sends continuously multiple channel requests. Aiming at reducing conflicts on the RACH channel, this parameter and the CCCH configuration mode co-determines the parameter S.

Description:

z

When this parameter is set to 3, 8, 14, or 50, S is 55 if the CCCH and SDCCH do not share a channel.

z

When this parameter is set to 3, 8, 14, or 50, S is 41 if the CCCH and SDCCH share a channel.

z

When this parameter is set to 4, 9, or 6, S is 76 if the CCCH and SDCCH do not share a channel.

z

When this parameter is set to 4, 9, or 6, S is 52 if the CCCH and SDCCH share a channel.

z

When this parameter is set 5, 10, or 20, S is 109 if the CCCH and SDCCH do not share a channel.

z

When this parameter is set 5, 10, or 20, S is 58 if the CCCH and SDCCH share a channel.

z

z


z


The timeslot for sending messages is a random value from the collection of {0, 1…, MAX (T, 8)–1}. The number of timeslots between two adjacent channels is a random value from the collection of {S, S+1, …, S+T–1}. When T increases, the interval between two adjacent channel requests increases, and RACH conflicts decrease. When S increases, the interval between two adjacent channel requests increases, and RACH conflicts decrease, thus improving the usage of AGCH and SDCCH. The access time of the MS, however, is prolonged and the network performance is threatened when T and S increase. Thus, an appropriate T value should be adopted to ensure that S is as low as possible, and that AGCH and SDCCH are not overloaded.

Remarks:

When the network traffic is heavy, the success rate of immediate assignment is low if the sum of S and T is low. Thus, the value of T should be properly adjusted to make the sum of S and T greater.

Cell_Bar_ Access Value Range:

Description:

This parameter indicates whether cell access is barred. For details, refer to protocol 0408. Together with CBQ, this parameter can be used to determine the priority of cells.

Remarks:

None

Cell_Bar_Qualify Value Range:

1, 0

Unit:

None

Default Value:

0 1: Yes 0: No

Description:

Cell Bar Qualify (CBQ) functions only for cell selection. Together with CBA, this parameter determines the priority of cells. For details, refer to protocol 0408.

Remarks:

CBA and CBQ affect the network access of an MS.

BS_AG_BLKS_RES Value Range:

0–2 (a combined CCCH), 0–7 (others)

Unit:

Block

Default Value:

Description:

z

1 (combined CCCH)

z

2 (non-combined CCCH)

When the cell is configured with CBCHs, the BS_AG_BLKS_RES parameter must be equal to or greater than 1, that is, the parameter cannot be 0. This parameter indicates the number of CCCH blocks reserved for the access grant channel. After the CCCH is configured, this parameter actually indicates the CCCH usage for AGCH and PCH. This parameter affects the paging response time of an MS and the system performance. As specified in the protocol, this parameter must be greater than 0 in the following cases:

Remarks:

3-16

z

System information is transmitted on the extended BCH.

z

The system is configured with CBCHs.

z

The GSMR system is configured with NCHs.


Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



CCCH Conf Value Range: Unit:

1 combined CCCH, 1 non-combined CCCH, 2 non-combined CCCH, 3 non-combined CCCH, 4 non-combined CCCH None z

For the cell with one TRX, Huawei recommends that you configure a combined CCCH (in the system that has a small number of LA paging messages). For other types of cells, the configuration of CCCHs depends on the number of TRXs in the cell.

z

For a system that has both main and extended BCCHs, the number of non-combined CCCHs equals the number of BCCHs.

z

The BS_AG_BLKS_RES and CCCH Conf. parameters can be changed according to the type of channel 0 on the TRX that carries main BCCH in the cell.

z

If this parameter is set to a value rather than 1 combined CCCH, the default value of BS_AG_BLKS_RES can be set to 2. The parameter ranges from 1 to 7.

z

If this parameter is set to 1 combined CCCH, the default value of BS_AG_BLKS_RES can be set to 1. The parameter ranges from 1 to 2.

z

If channel 0 on the TRX that carries main BCCH is set to Combined BCCH or BCCH+CBCH, this parameter can be set to 1 combined CCCH.

z

If channel 0 on the TRX that carries main BCCH is set to Main BCCH, this parameter can be set to N non-combined CCCH, where N means the sum of channels 0, 2, 4, and 6 that are configured as main BCCHs and BCHs.

Default Value:

This parameter indicates the CCCH configuration in a system. Description:

Remarks:

In a corresponding BCCH multi-frame, the number of CCCH message blocks may be 3, 9, 18, 27, or 36. CCCH configuration determines the capacity of PCH, AGCH, and RACH. Particularly, the PCH capacity of all cells in an LAC should be consistent, or that the cell with the least PCH capacity has enough capacity to bear all the TRXs in the LAC. None

BS-PA-MFRARMS Value Range:

2–9

Unit:

Multi-frame period

Default Value:

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)

z

For an area with ordinary or heavy load on the paging channel, or an area with medium or high traffic, this parameter can be set to 6 or 7, that is, 6 or 7 multi-frames in a paging group are reserved.

z

For an area with low load on the paging channel, or an area with light traffic, this parameter can be set to 4 or 5, that is, 4 or 5 multi-frames in a paging group are reserved. This parameter is generally set to 2.


3-17



This parameter indicates the number of multi-frames in a cycle on the paging channel, that is, the number of paging sub-channels on a specific paging channel. In actual situation, an MS monitors only the associated paging sub-channel. For details, refer to protocols 0502 and 0508. When MFR increases, the number of paging sub-channels increases, thus reducing the number of subscribers served by each paging sub-channel and prolonging the average work time of the MS battery. For details about the paging group calculation, refer to protocol 0502. Description:

When MFR increases, the delay of paging messages increases, and the system performance drops. This parameter should be set on the basis that the paging channel is not overloaded. In addition, the value of the parameter should be as small as possible. The load of the paging channels should be periodically measured on the running network. The MFR value should be adjusted based on the load. A paging message must be sent simultaneously in all the cells in an LAC. Thus, the capacity of the paging channel in a cell, that is, the number of paging sub-channels in a cell, must be the same as or similar to that in other cells of an LAC. A paging block (four continuous CCCH timeslots) can bear two IMSI paging messages, four TMSI paging messages, or two AGCH immediate assignment messages.

Remarks:

The downlink signaling channel is faulty in idle mode, and the DSC is used to judge whether the downlink signaling channel is faulty. When an MS stays in a cell, the DSC is initiated to the integer closest to 90/N, where N equals BS_PA_MFRMS ranging from 2 to 9. Thus, the DSC increases by 1 (without exceeding the initial value) when the MS successfully decodes a message on its paging sub-channel, and the DSC decreases by 4 when the decoding fails. When the DSC is equal to or less than 0, the downlink signaling channel is faulty. Then, a cell reselection is required. The value of this parameter is site-specific. For example, when a BTS2X is adopted, the CCCH is over-loaded if this parameter is too small. Thus, 5 or 6 is recommended for this parameter. However, the BTS3X series and dual-transceiver BTSs do not have such a problem.

It is recommended that you select a greater value, such as 16, 20, or 25, in the area with heavy traffic, but a smaller value, such as 2 or 3, in the area with light traffic. Default Value:

To properly specify the value of this parameter, it is necessary to perform overall and long-term measurement on the entities involved regarding their processing capability and traffic, such as the processing capability of the MSC and BSC, and the load on the A interface, Abis interface, Um interface, HLR, and VLR. The value of T3212 can be increased when an entity involved is overloaded. Time limits of regular location update in the VLR/BSC can be adjusted flexibly to improve the system connection rate, reduce invalid paging requests, and to enhance the LAC capacity. This parameter indicates the timeout value, or the timer, for regular location update. In the VLR, another regular location update timer is defined. When the location update period decreases, the service performance is improved. When the signaling traffic of the network increases, the usage of radio resources drops.

Description:

In addition, when the location update period decreases, the MS power consumption increases, and the average standby time is greatly shortened. When setting this parameter, take into consideration the processing capability of the MSC and BSC, the load on the A-interface, Abis interface, Um interface, HLR, and VLR. Generally, a larger value is adopted in continuous coverage in urban areas and a smaller value in suburbs, rural areas, or blind spots. The location update period in the MSC must be greater than that in the BSC. In the GSM system, it is possible that a powered-on MS is identified as implicit off-line if the MS sends no location update request within a long period.

Remarks:

When the MS reselects another cell (in the same LAC), the MS is restarted through T3212 timeout if the T3212 of the new cell differs from that of the original cell. When this parameter differs in the cells of the same LAC, it is possible that the MS is identified as implicit off-line if the MS sends no location update request for a long period. In this case, system plays "The subscriber you dial is power off." even though the called MS is on. In an LAC, the value of this parameter should be the same in all cells.

CELL_RESELECT_HYSTERESIS (CRH) is used to determine whether cell reselection is performed between different LACs. An MS does not respond to pagings during location update. Thus, the connection rate drops if cell reselection is performed. Description:

This parameter is used to prevent frequent location update, thus lowering the possibility of losing paging messages. If this parameter is excessively low, ping-pong handovers occur and the signaling load on the SDCCH increases. If this parameter is excessively high, the cell that the MS camps on for long may not be the best after the LAC changes.

Remarks:

None

PI Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Yes Cell Reselect Parameters Indication (PI), sent on the broadcast channel, indicates whether CRO, TO, and PT are used.

Description:

In actual situations, the MS is informed whether C2-based cell reselection is performed. For details, refer to protocols 0408 and 0508. In addition, a least interval of 5s is required for C2-based cell reselection to avoid frequent cell reselection. When PI is set to 1, the MS obtains the value of C2 based on the broadcast system information and determines whether a cell is reselected. When PI is set to 0, that is, C2 equals C1, the MS determines whether a cell is reselected based on the value of C1.

3-20


Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



The MS obtains C1 and C2 of the serving cell at a minimum interval of 5s. When necessary, the MS obtains C1 and C2 of non-serving cells (neighboring cells). In addition, the MS constantly checks whether a cell reselection is required by referring to following conditions: z

Whether the path loss (C1) of the current serving cell drops below 0 within 5s. If yes, the path loss is too large.

z

Whether a better cell exists.

A better cell exists if the following conditions are met: Remarks:

–

–

–

C2 of an appropriate non-serving cell exceeds that of the serving cell in 5s. The C2 of a new cell in another LAC minus CRH (broadcast in the system information of the serving cell) exceeds C2 of the serving cell in 5s. A cell reselection is performed in the last 15s, and the C2 of the new cell minus 5 dB constantly exceeds the C2 of the serving cell in 5s.

If the conditions above are met, the MS reselects a cell and does not go to the previous cell within 5s.

NCC Permitted Value Range:

Unit:

None

Default Value:

11111111 This parameter, sent in system information 2 and 6, lists the NCC codes of the cells to be measured by the MS.

Description:

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)

When this parameter is set to 1, the MS reports the corresponding measurement report to the BTS. This parameter consists of a byte (8 bits). Each bit corresponds to an NCC (0–7) and the most significant bit corresponds to NCC 7. If bit N is 0, the MS does not measure the cell level of NCC N.


3-21



The MS cannot report the information on neighboring cells where the NCC is 0. Thus, this parameter should be correctly specified. Otherwise, an MS during conversation cannot perform normal handover and a call dropout occurs. For details, refer to protocol 0508.

Remarks:

During conversation, the MS reports to the BTS the signaling information on neighboring cells. A report covers a maximum of six cells. Thus, the MS should report those possibly targeted cells, rather than selecting cells based only on the signal level. Generally, the MS does not report cells belonging to other GSM PLMNs. This function enables the MS to measure only those specified cells. This parameter specifies the codes of the NCCs to be measured by the MS. Over the SCH, the system constantly transmits the BSIC, the first three bits of which indicate the NCC. Thus, the MS needs to compare only this parameter with the adjacent NCCs measured. Then, the MS reports the matched NCCs to the BTS and discards others. This parameter affects only those MSs during conversation, as well as boundary handovers.

CRO (2dB) Value Range:

0–63 (0 dB to 126 dB, with a step length of 2 dB)

Unit:

None

Default Value:

0 Cell Reselect Offset (CRO) indicates the C2 modified manually. If this parameter is reasonably configured, the number of handovers can be reduced and a better cell can be assigned to.

Description:

When PT is set to 31, it becomes more difficult for an MS to access a cell when CRO increases. Generally, the CRO should be less than 25 dB because excessively large CRO may bring uncertainties to the network. In addition, the same CRO applies to the cells with the same priority. For details, refer to GSM Rec. 05.08 and 04.08. This parameter applies to only GSM Phase II MSs.

Remarks:

In cells with the same priority, the offset should be the same. Otherwise, unexpected faults may occur.

Description:

When ACS is set to 0, it is invalid in system information 3, but it means in system information 4 that the MS should obtain PI and other parameters for calculating C2 from other bytes of system information 4. When ACS is set to 1, it means that the MS should obtain PI and other parameters for calculating C2 from other bytes of system information 7 and 8.

Cell Reselect Penalty Time (PT) helps to ensure the safety and validity of cell reselection because it helps to avoid frequent cell reselection. For details, refer to protocols 0508 and 0408. This parameter applies to only GSM Phase II MSs.

Remarks:

After cell selection is complete, the MS stays in the selected cell if nothing important changes. Then, the MS measures the signal level of BCCH TRX in neighboring cells and records the top six cells with high signal levels. Thus, the MS can obtain the system information and control information on neighboring cells. However, the MS selects another cell, a process called cell reselection, when required conditions are met. Signal strength is an important

requirement. That is, cell reselection is required when the signal strength in a neighboring cell is better than that in the serving cell. C2, indicating signal strength, is calculated as follows: z

When PT is not 11111, C2 = C1 + CRO – TO X H (PT – T)

Where, If X < 0, H (x) = 0. If X ≥ 0, H (x) = 1. T, a timer beginning from zero, counts when a cell is listed in the six cell tables because the signal level in the cell is among the top six. When the cell is out of the six cell tables, T is reset. The precision of T is calculated by one TDMA frame (about 4.62 ms). After a cell reselection is complete, the original serving cell becomes a neighboring cell, and T in the original serving cell becomes the initial value of PT. Thus, when PT minus T is less than 0, that is, C2 = C1 + CRO, no time penalty is given to the original serving cell. z

If PT is 11111, C2 = C1 – CRO

CRO is used to manually modify C2, that is, C2 is rectified before T increases to PT. PT indicates the time period during which TO affects C2, but the value of 11111 is reserved for changing the effect of CRO on. CRO, TO, and PT are parameters related to cell reselection. When PI is 1, these parameters are broadcast over the BCCH. When PI is 0, these parameters are 0, so C2 equals C1. In an LAC, the MS implements cell reselection if the C2 of a neighboring cell is greater than that of the serving cell in more than 5s. In different LACs, the MS implements cell reselection if the C2 of another cell minus that of the serving cell is greater than the CRH. Note that a minimum interval of 15s is required for cell reselection because frequent cell reselection affects the system. Signal strength-based cell reselection is implemented based on C2. C2, a parameter based on C1, takes into consideration manual adjustments to preferably select some cells or reject some cells, thus achieving better traffic balance. In addition to C1, other parameters that affect C2 are CRO, TO, and PT. CRO indicates manual correction made to C2, and TO indicates temporary correction in a period that depends on PT. Generally, the parameters mentioned above can be adjusted in the following methods:

3-24

z

In a cell with heavy traffic or poor signal strength, PT can be set to 31 to invalidate TO. Thus, C2 equals C1 minus CRO and is manually decreased. Hence, it is less possible for the MS to reselect this cell. In this case, CRO can be appropriately specified because CRO increases when it is becomes more difficult for the MS to access a cell, and the vice versa.

z

In a cell with light traffic or low resource usage, the CRO can be specified ranging from 0 dB to 20 dB because a tendency is encouraged towards such a cell. The greater the tendency is, the


Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



greater the CRO is, and vice versa. In addition, it is advised that TO should be the same as or a little greater than CRO, and that PT preferably ranges from 20s to 40s. z

In a cell with medium traffic, it is advised that CRO should be set to 0. Thus, C2 equals C1 and no manual interference is imposed on the cells.

When adjusting the parameters mentioned above, note the following points: z

CRO must not exceed 25 dB because excessively great CRO threatens network stability.

z

CRO, PT, and TO are cell-based, but C2 is closely related to neighboring cells. Thus, take neighboring cells into consideration when specifying the parameters.

2G BA1 Table 2G BA1 Table Value Range:

0–1023

Unit:

None

Default Value:

None This parameter indicates a table recording the BCCH frequencies of neighboring cells.

Description:

The table is for frequency search when an MS is idle, and sent through system information 2, 2bis, and 2ter. When an MS is idle, it monitors the BCCH TRXs listed in the BA table and initiates reselection when possible. Thus, it is recommended that BCCH frequencies of neighboring cells should be listed.

3.3 Call Control Parameters 3.3.1 Basic Call Control Parameters SACCH Multi-Frames (SACCH period (480 ms)) Value Range:

0–63

Unit:

SACCH period (480 milliseconds)

Default Value:

31 This parameter is used for the BTS to inform the BSC of radio link connection failure.

Description:

When the BTS receives the measurement report from the SACCH, the counter for determining the radio link fault is set as this parameter. Each time the SACCH measurement report sent by the MS fails in decoding, the counter decreases by 1. If the SACCH measurement report is correctly decoded, the counter increases by 2. When the value of the counter is 0, the radio link fails, and the BTS sends a connection failure indicator to the BSC. The radio link failure time of the uplink and the downlink is defined for the number of SACCH multi-frames and the radio link failure counter in the system message. The judgment standard is whether the SACCH message is correctly decoded.

Remarks:

When the parameter value does not match the value supported by the BTS, an alarm is generated.

RACH Busy Threshold

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)

Value Range:

0–63 (–110 dBm to –47 dBm)

Unit:

None

Default Value:

5 (BTS2X, BTS24); 16 (BTS3X, double-transceiver BTSs)


3-27



For BTS3X series and dual-transceiver BTSs, this parameter indicates the level threshold of MS random access for the system to determine the RACH busy state. When the received level of the random access burst timeslot is greater than this threshold, the BTS considers that the timeslot is busy. In the BTS3X, this parameter only indicates whether the timeslot is busy. The threshold setting does not affect the normal access of the MS.

Description:

In the BTS2X version (BTS24 not included), this parameter indicates the level threshold for the system to determine MS random access. When the received level of the random access burst timeslot is greater than this threshold and the access demodulation is successful, the BTS considers that the timeslot is busy and determines whether the RACH access is valid based on the parameter Random Access Error Threshold. In the BTS2X version, the parameter RACH Busy Threshold determines whether the timeslot is busy and affects the normal access of the MS. The MS access is allowed only when the level of the MS random access burst is greater than the RACH Busy Threshold. In the BTS24 version, this parameter indicates the level threshold of the MS random access for the system to determine the RACH busy state. When the received level of the random access burst timeslot is greater than the threshold, the BTS considers that the timeslot is busy. This parameter also indicates whether the MS access is allowed. The MS access is allowed only when access level (including random access and handover access) is greater than the threshold.

3-28


Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



In the BTS2X version (BTS24 not included), this parameter indicates the level threshold for the system to determine MS random access. When the received level of a random access burst timeslot of the RACH is greater than this threshold, the BTS considers that the timeslot is busy. This parameter must be set based on the actual sensitivity of the BTS and the lowest access level of the MS to ensure the uplink and downlink balance. This parameter also affects handover access of RACH BURST during asynchronous handover.

Remarks:

For the BTS3X series and double-transceiver BTSs, this parameter does not affect MS access but affects the report of CCCH_LOAD_IND. If the level received by the BCCH at the network side is greater than the RACH Busy Threshold, the CCCH_LOAD_IND is counted once whether the decoding is successful. The RACH whose level is lower than the RACH Busy Threshold and whose decoding is successful is also counted. The measurement period is the RACH mean load timeslot. If the value of this parameter is too small, the BTS easily considers that the RACH timeslot is busy and reports overload messages to the BSC. If the value is too high, the BTS cannot determine the state of the RACH timeslot correctly. In the BTS24 version, if this parameter is used to judge busy timeslot, its setting is consistent that in the BTS30. If this parameter is the level threshold for valid random access, its setting is consistent with that in the BTS20. The setting of this parameter for the BTS312, BTS3001C, BTS3001C+, BTS3002C and the double-transceiver BTSs is the same as that in the BTS30.

Paging Times BTS2X version (BTS24 not included): 1–4

Value Range:

The BTS24 version or later, BTS3X or later, BTS3001C version or later, BTS3002C version or later, and dual-transceiver BTSs support paging re-sending. Paging times: 1–8 BTS3X version: 1–5 The BTS versions that are earlier than the previous versions do not support BTS paging re-sending.

Description:

Remarks:

For the BTS2X series, this parameter is used to determine paging re-sending. This parameter and the paging times configured in the MSC determine the paging re-sending times. The total paging times is equal to this parameter value multiplied by the paging times configured in the MSC. At present, the paging re-sending times is set to 4 in the MSC. The BSC does not support the re-sending mechanism. The BSC processes a paging message after receiving a paging message. The BTS2X supports the re-sending mechanism. Both the BTS3X series and the dual-transceiver BTSs support paging re-sending. None

Assignment Cell Load Judge Enabled Value Range:

Enable, Disable

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Disable When the Assignment Cell Load Judge Enabled is allowed, the direct try flow is allowed if the following two conditions are met:

Description:

Remarks:

z

The cell supports the direct try function.

z

The load of the cell is larger than or equal to the Cell Direct Try Forbidden Threshold.

Directed Retry Load Access Threshold Value Range:

0–6

Unit:

None

Default Value:

5 When target cells are selected during direct retry, only the cells whose loads are smaller than or equal to the Directed Retry Load Access Threshold are selected as candidate target cells.

Description:

This parameter is used to adjust the candidate target cells during direct retry. If the parameter is set to an overgreat value, the cells with heavy loads are selected as candidate target cells so that the handover has little meaning. If the parameter is set to an oversmall value, it is difficult to select candidate target cells.

MS MAX Retrans Value Range:

1, 2, 4, 7

Unit:

None In the areas where the radius of the cell is greater than 3 km and the traffic volume is low, such as suburbs or rural areas, M can be set to 11 (that is, the MS MAX Retrans is set to 7) to improve the success rate of MS access.

Default Value:

In the areas where the radius of the cell is smaller than 3 km and the traffic volume is normal, such as urban non-busy areas, M can be set to 10 (that is, the MS MAX Retrans is set to 4). For micro cells, M should be set to 01, that is, the MS MAX Retrans is set to 2. For micro cells where the traffic volume is heavy and cells where congestion occurs, M should be set to 00, that is, the MS MAX Retrans is set to 1. For BTSs using satellite transmission, M should be set to 4 or greater. This parameter indicates the maximum times for sending Channel Request messages by the MS during an immediate assignment.

Description:

Remarks:

After the MS initiates immediate assignment, it always intercepts all the common control channel messages of the BCCH and CCCH. If the MS does not receive Immediate Assignment messages or Immediate Assignment Extend messages, the MS re-sends Channel Request messages at a specified interval. When the downlink quality is poor, the MS may send SABM to the BTS for many times.

Common Access Control Class

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)

Value Range:

Level0 Forbidden, Level1 Forbidden, Level2 Forbidden, Level3 Forbidden, Level4 Forbidden, Level5 Forbidden, Level6 Forbidden, Level7 Forbidden, Level8 Forbidden, Level9 Forbidden

Unit:

None

Default Value:

0000000000


3-31



This parameter is used for load control. It determines whether the users of common access class are allowed to access the network. 1: Not allowed 0: Allowed For example, 0000000001 indicates that users of all classes except class 0 are allowed to access the network. Description:

During the BTS installation, activation, or cell maintenance test, this parameter can be set to 1. All users are not allowed to access the network, thus reducing the impact on installation or maintenance. In the cell where the traffic volume is heavy, congestion may occur in busy hours. For example, more RACH burst occurs, the AGCH flow is overloaded, or the Abis interface flow is overloaded. If this parameter is set to 1 for users of some classes, the traffic volume in this cell may be reduced.

Remarks:

None

Special Access Control Class Value Range:

Level11 Forbidden, Level12 Forbidden, Level13 Forbidden, Level14 Forbidden, Level15 Forbidden

Unit:

Class

Default Value:

00000 This parameter is used for load control. It determines whether the users of special access class are allowed to access the network. 1: Not allowed 0: Allowed

Description:

For example, 000001 indicates that users of all classes except class 11 are allowed to access the network. In the cell where the traffic volume is heavy, congestion may occur in busy hours. For example, more RACH burst occurs, the AGCH flow is overloaded, or the Abis interface flow is overloaded. If this parameter is set to 1 for users of some classes, the traffic volume in this cell may be reduced.

Remarks:

Unit:

None

Default Value:

No


Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



For MSs whose access class is from 0 to 9, if the Emergent Call Disable is set to No, emergency calls are allowed. Description:

For MSs whose access class is from 11 to 15, emergency calls are not allowed only when the access control bit is set to 0 and the Emergent Call Disable is set to Yes.

Remarks:

None

Radio Link Timeout (SACCH period(480ms) Value Range:

4–64 (with the step of 4)

Unit:

SACCH period (480 milliseconds)

Default Value:

52 For details about the Radio Link Timeout (RLINKT), see the protocol 0408, 0508. This parameter determines the time for disconnecting a call when the MS fails to decode the SACCH. Once a dedicated channel is assigned to the MS, the counter S is enabled and the initial value is set to this parameter value.

Description:

Each time an SACCH message is not decoded, the counter S decreases by 1. Each time an SACCH message is correctly decoded, the counter S increases by 2. When the counter S is equal to 0, it is an indication that the downlink radio link fails. Therefore, when the voice or data quality is degraded to an unacceptable situation and it cannot be improved through power control or channel handover, the connection is to be re-established or released. In the areas where the traffic volume is low, such as rural areas, this parameter should range from 52 to 64. In the areas where the traffic volume is low and the coverage radius is large, such as suburbs or rural areas, this parameter should range from 36 to 48. In the areas where the traffic volume is comparatively heavy, such as urban areas, this parameter should range from 20 to 32. In the areas where the traffic volume is very heavy (generally covered by micro cells), this parameter should range from 4 to 16. In the cells where some areas are not covered or call drops occur frequently, this parameter should be set to a larger value so that conversations can resume.

Remarks:

If the value of this parameter is too small, the radio link may easily fail, thus causing call drops. If the value of this parameter is too large, the connection is not release for a long time, thus reducing the utilization of resources. This parameter takes effect to the downlink.

Yes, No

Unit:

None


3-33



Default Value:

Description:

z

No

z

Yes (hybrid cells)

The early classmark sending control (ECSC) indicates whether the MSs in a cell use early classmark sending. For details, see the protocol 0408. After receiving a message of classmark change, the MS sends additional classmark information to the network as early as possible, The CM3 (classmark 3) information contains power information of each band of multi-band MSs. In the inter-band handover, power class must be correctly described. When paging is made or the BA2 table is sent between different bands, the CM3 message must be known. For 900/1800 MHz mixed cells sharing BCCH, the ECSC is set to Yes. For 1800 MHz cells in the dual-band network, the ECSC is set to Yes. When the A5/4–7 encryption algorithm is used, the ECSC is set to Yes. The ECSC is oriented to dual-band MSs. It is invalid to the single-band MSs.

Remarks:

For dual-band MSs, if the ECSC is disabled, the MSC sends a CLASSMARK REQUEST message after the MS reports an EST IND message. The MS then reports the CLASSMARK UPDATE message. Other functions are not affected.

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



This parameter is used for the MS to report neighboring cell explanation of multiple bands. It is sent in the system messages 2ter and 5ter. 0: The MS reports the measurement results of six neighboring cells known and permitted by the NCC at the bands with the best signal regardless of the band at which the neighboring cell is located. 1: The MS reports the measurement result of a neighboring cell known and permitted by the NCC at each band with the best signal (the band serving the current cell not included). The MS reports the measurement result of the neighboring cell at the band serving the current cell in the redundant position. If the redundant position is still available, the MS reports the measurement results of other neighboring cells regardless of the bands at which the neighboring cells are located.

Description:

2: The MS reports the measurement results of two neighboring cells known and permitted by the NCC at each band with the best signal (the band serving the current cell not included). The MS reports the measurement result of the neighboring cell at the band serving the current cell in the redundant position. If the redundant position is still available, the MS reports the measurement results of other neighboring cells regardless of the bands at which the neighboring cells are located. 3: The MS reports the measurement results of three neighboring cells known and permitted by the NCC at each band with the best signal (the band serving the current cell not included). The MS reports the measurement result of the neighboring cell at the band serving the current cell in the redundant position. If the redundant position is still available, the MS reports the measurement results of other neighboring cells regardless of the bands at which the neighboring cells are located. When the traffic volumes of multiple bands are the same and there is no special requirement on the band, the MBR (Multi Band Report) is set to 0. When the traffic volumes of multiple bands are different and the MS is expected to enter a band preferentially, the MBR (Multi Band Report) is set to 3. In other cases except the first two cases, the MBR (Multi Band Report) is set to 1 or 2. For details, see protocol 0508.

Remarks:

None

Allow Reassign Value Range:

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Yes This parameter indicates whether the reassignment function is allowed.

3-35



Allow EMLPP Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

No This parameter indicates whether the enhanced multi level precedence and preemption (eMLPP) function is allowed. The eMLPP means that the network is allowed to use different policies such as queuing, preemption, and direct retry according to the calls with different priorities when the network resources are seized.

Description:

If the Allow EMLPP is set to Yes, when preemption occurs, the MS with lowest precedence performs handover, and the MS with higher precedence seizes the idle channel after handover. If the Allow EMLPP is set to No, when an MS with lower precedence initiates release, the MS with higher precedence seizes the idle channel after release.

Remarks:

The eMLPP provides a maximum of seven priorities (A, B, and 0–4). The two highest priorities are reserved only for local use in the network. Priorities 0–4 are used for subscribers all over the world. If the eMLPP function needs to be fully implemented, the support of the MSC, HLR, MS (including SIM) is required.

Description:

If the parameter is set to 001011, infer that full-rate version 1, full-rate version 2, and half-rate version 1 are supported. The differences between the speech versions are as follows:

Remarks:

Full-rate speech version 1 uses FR (the rate is 13 kbit/s). Full-rate speech version 2 uses EFR (the rate is 12.2 kbit/s). Full-rate speech version 3 is provided.

TRX Aiding Function Control Value Range:

TRX Aiding Not Allowed, Allowed & Recover Forbidden, Allowed & Recover Immediately, Allowed & Recover When Check Res

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Allowed & Recover When Check Res TRX Aiding Not Allowed indicates that the TRX aiding function is not allowed. Allowed & Recover Forbidden indicates that the TRX aiding function is allowed but switchback is forbidden after the faulty TRX is recovered.

Description:

Allowed & Recover Immediately indicates that the TRX aiding function is allowed and immediate switchback is allowed after the faulty TRX is recovered. Allowed & Recover When Check Res indicates that the TRX aiding function is allowed but immediate switchback is forbidden after the faulty TRX is recovered. The switchback is not performed until the resources are checked in the early morning. BCCH aiding: The main BCCH is aided to another normal TRX in this cell. BCCH aiding switchback: BCCH aiding switchback can be performed after the originally configured BCCH TRX is recovered. Baseband hopping aiding: When the TRX that is involved in baseband hopping in the cell is faulty or BCCH aiding is performed in the cell, baseband hopping aiding occurs and the cell is initialized to a non-hopping cell.

Remarks:

Baseband hopping aiding switchback: When all the TRXs that are involved in baseband hopping in the cell are recovered and the originally configured BCCH TRXs are normal, baseband hopping aiding switchback can be performed and the cell resumes to baseband hopping mode. If TRX aiding or switchback (BCCH aiding or baseband hopping aiding) occurs, the cell is reinitialized. For any types of BTS, no aiding is performed within 15 minutes after the cell is initialized.

Random Access Error Threshold

Value Range:

0–255

Unit:

None

Default Value:

180


3-37



According the GSM protocols, the system can determine whether the received signal is the random access signal of the MS through the correlation of training sequence TSC (41 bits) and can calculate the TA value. This parameter specifies the correlation of the training sequence. Description:

If the parameter is set to an oversmall value, the allowable error for the random access signal is high and the random access of the MS is easy. But the error report rate is high. If the parameter is set to an overgreat value, the error report rate of the MS is low but the normal access is difficult to be reported. See protocols 0408 and 0502.

Remarks:

None

RACH Min Access Level Value Range:

0–63 (–110 dBm to –47 dBm)

Unit:

None

Default Value:

5 For the versions later than the BTS3X, BTS3001C, and BTS3002C, the RACH Min Access Level function affects the access of the MS. The effect indicates that the system determines the threshold of the level for the random access of the MS. When the received level of the RACH burst is smaller than the threshold, the BTS regards this access as an invalid access and no decoding is performed.

Description:

The addition of RACH Min Access Level in the BTS3X indicates that the system determines the threshold of the level for the random access of the MS. Only when the received level for the burst timeslot of the random access is greater than the threshold, the BTS regards that this timeslot has an access request. Because the RACH Busy Threshold must be greater than the RACH Min Access Level, infer that the RACH Min Access Level of the BTS24 is already shielded. For BTS2X (excluding BTS24), this parameter is invalid. This parameter must be set according to the actual sensitivity of the BTS and the minimum access level of the MS so that calls can be made when there is signal.

Remarks:

The RACH Busy Threshold must be greater than this parameter.

Power Deviation Indication

Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Yes


Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



Description:

The MS does not receive the original power command after random access. This parameter indicates whether the power deviation is added to the class 3 MS on the DCS1800 band on the basis of the maximum MS transmit power.

Remarks:

None

Power Deviation (2dB) Value Range:

0–3 (mapping to 0 dB, 2 dB, 4 dB, and 6 dB)

Unit:

None

Default Value:

1

Description:

If the class 3 MS on the DCS1800 band does not receive the original power command after random access, the power that the MS uses is the MS maximum transmit power level plus the power calculated from the power deviation. See protocol 0508.

Remarks:

Timer T200 SDCCH (5 ms)

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)

Value Range:

1–255

Unit:

5 milliseconds

Default Value:

60


3-39



This parameter determines the expiry value of the T200 timer on the SDCCH over the Um interface. The T200 timer prevents the data link layer from deadlock during data transmission. The data link layer transforms the physical link that is vulnerable to errors into a sequential non-error data link. The entities at the two ends of this data link use the acknowledgement retransmission mechanism. Each message must be confirmed by the peer end. In unknown cases, both ends are waiting if a message is lost. At this time, the deadlock of the system occurs. Description:

Therefore, the transmit end must establish a timer. When the timer expires, the transmit end regards that the receive end does not receive the message and then the transmit end retransmits the message. The number of retransmissions is determined by the N200. The T200 and the N200 ensure that the data link layer sequentially transmits data and that the transmission is free from errors. If the T200 timer is set to an oversmall value, the transmit end may mistakenly regard that the link is faulty and the data transmission fails before the transmit end receives a response from the peer end. If the N200 is set to an oversmall value, the number of data retransmissions is reduced and the success rate of transmission is reduced. If the T200 and the N200 are set to overgreat values, the channels are seized all along when the link is faulty. Thus the resources are wasted.

Remarks:

None

T200 FACCH/F (5ms) Value Range:

Short Message Uplink Disabled

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)

Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None


3-45



Default Value:

Description:

No This parameter provides a switch for controlling the transmission of point-to-point short messages. If necessary, this switch can disable the transmission of uplink short messages in a specific cell so that sufficient radio channels can be seized by normal calls. If this parameter is set to Yes, radio channels cannot be seized for transmitting short messages no matter the MS is in the idle state or in the calling state.

Remarks:

Pay special attention to the setting of this parameter during an upgrade. If transmitting short messages are allowed, this parameter must be set to No.

Short Message Downlink Disabled Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

No

Description:

This parameter provides a switch for controlling the transmission of point-to-point short messages. If necessary, this switch can disable the transmission of downlink short messages in a specific cell so that sufficient radio channels can be seized by normal calls. If this parameter is set to Yes, the MSs in the idle state cannot seize channels to receive short messages and the MSs in the calling state can still receive short messages without seizing additional channels.

Remarks:

Pay special attention to the setting of this parameter during an upgrade. If receiving short messages is allowed, this parameter must be set to No.

Frequency Band of Reassign Value Range:

Different Band, Same Band

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Different Band

Description:

In normal assignment procedure, after receiving the assignment failure message from the MS on the SDCCH, the BSC does not report the message to the MSC immediately. Instead, the BSC re-assigns radio channels and re-originates the assignment of radio interfaces. Thus the success rate of assignment can be increased. When the BSC re-assigns radio channels, you can determine whether the re-assignment is performed in TRXs on the same band or on different bands. Thus the decrease in service quality due to interferences, faulty TRX paths, or faulty project constructions can be minimized.

Remarks:

3-46

None


Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



Max Assignment Retry Times Value Range:

0–3

Unit:

None

Default Value:

1 This parameter indicates the maximum number of assignment retry times. The parameter is valid when the TCH assignment retry is set to Yes. After the MS is accessed, the MSC sends the Assignment Request message to the BSC for TCH radio resources. If the current cell has no TCH that meets the requirements, the BSC attempts to originate a handover.

Description:

The basis of the handover decision is the measurement report from the MS during the access. The handover uses the common handover algorithm. The MS is handed over to a neighboring cell and the neighboring cell provides speech services. If the target cell is in the same BSC, this is called intra-BSC directed retry. If the target cell is in a different BSC under the same MSC, this is called inter-BSC directed retry. If the target cell is in a different MSC, this is called inter-MSC directed retry. Directed retry can decrease the call access failures due to TCH congestion in the cell, increase the success rate of access, and enhance the network quality.

Remarks:

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Yes The parameter indicates whether a POWER BUDGET (PBGT) handover is allowed.

Description:

Based on path loss, PBGT is used to search for a desired cell in real time and to judge whether handover is performed. The cell must provide less path loss and meet other requirements. To avoid ping-pong handovers, PBGT handover applies to only cells of the same level on the same layer and is triggered only over TCH. Proper use of PBGT handover helps to reduce over-cell coverage and co-channel interference.

Remarks:

3-64

None


Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



Level HO Allowed Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Yes The parameter indicates whether the layer level handover is allowed.

Description:

The layer level handover is implemented based on layers and priorities. When this handover is enabled, traffic is routed to a cell with a higher priority. The lower the layer is, the higher the priority is. The lower the level is, the higher the priority is.

Remarks:

Layer level handover is not implemented when the comprehensive sequence (including basic sequence and network sequence) of the serving cell is the highest or when the level of the target cell is not greater than the Inter-layer HO Threshold.

Fringe HO Allowed Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Yes The parameter indicates whether a fringe handover is allowed.

Description:

Remarks:

A fringe handover is used to prevent call drops in cell edges and initiated when the downlink/uplink level in the serving cell is lower than the fringe handover threshold. To implement fringe handover, the comprehensive sequence of the target cell must be higher than that of the serving cell.

BQ HO Allowed Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Yes The parameter indicates whether a Bad Quality (BQ) handover is allowed.

Description:

Remarks:

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)

BQ handover is triggered when Bit Error Ratio (BER) over uplink/downlink channels is higher than the triggering threshold. If BER rises, or signal strength drops, suspect that the signal power is low or channel interference increases. Inter-cell BQ handover is preferentially performed. If no target cell is available, intra-cell BQ handover can be implemented if intra-cell handovers are allowed.


3-65



TA HO Allowed Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Yes The parameter indicates whether a Timing Advance (TA) handover is allowed.

Description:

A TA handover is triggered when the TA is higher than the triggering threshold. TA is calculated based on the distance between the MS and the BTS. The longer the distance is, the greater the TA is.

Remarks:

None

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Yes The parameter indicates whether a Concentric Cell handover is allowed.

Description:

A Concentric Cell handover is implemented to achieve mass coverage in the underlaid subcell and tight frequency reuse in the overlaid subcell, thus improving the system capability and service performance. A Concentric Cell handover consists of inward handover and outward handover.

Remarks:

None

Description:

Remarks:

3-66

An interference handover is triggered when the received level is higher than the received threshold, but the transmission quality is lower than the handover triggering threshold. Both downlink and uplink interference is judged, and inter-cell handover takes priority. If no target cell is available, intra-cell interference handover can be implemented if intra-cell handovers are allowed.

Load HO Threshold Value Range:

0–6

Unit:

None

Default Value:

6 This parameter indicates the threshold of load handover.

Description:

Remarks:

Load handover is triggered when the TCH usage percentage reaches or exceeds this threshold. Even if the load handover is not enabled, this parameter and Load Req on Candidate Cell, affect the sequence of candidate cells (the eleventh bit of the 16-bit sequence).

Max Resend Times of Phy Info

3-80

Value Range:

1–255

Unit:

None

Default Value:

30


Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



This parameter indicates the maximum times of resending physical information. During asynchronous handover, the MS constantly sends handover access bursts to the BTS. Upon detecting the bursts, the BTS returns physical information to the MS through the main DCCH/FACCH and sends the MSG_ABIS_HO_DETECT message to the BSC. Meanwhile, the timer T3105 starts.

Description:

The physical information containing information on different physical layers guarantees correct MS access. If the timer T3105 expires before the BTS receives the SAMB frame from the MS, the BTS re-sends the physical information to the MS. If the number of resending times exceeds this parameter (Ny1) and the BTS has received no correct SAMB frame, the BTS sends the BSC a connection failure message, which also indicates handover failure. Then, the BSC releases the newly assigned dedicated channel and stops the timer T3105. For details, refer to protocols 0858 and 0408. This parameter can be correspondingly increased when handover becomes slow or the success rate is lowered due to clock problems or poor transmission.

Remarks:

If Ny1 X T3105 is greater than the interval (120 to 180 ms) between EST IND and HO DETECT, handover may be successful. Otherwise, handover fails.

T3105 (10ms) Value Range:

The default value is System Optimization. Default Value:

For a dual-timeslot extended cell or a hybrid cell, the default value is Underlaid Subcell. This parameter indicates the method of channel assignment for intra-BSC handover in a concentric cell. z

System Optimization: The BCCH of the target cell is specified in the handover request. Then, the target cell compares only the received level with RX_LEV Threshold, thus selecting the layer with higher priority.

z

UnderLaid Subcell: Channel assignment in the underlaid subcell has higher priority.

z

OverLaid Subcell: Channel assignment in the overlaid subcell has higher priority.

z

No Preference: Channels are assigned based on routine algorithms.

Underlay HO Step Period(s) Value Range:

1–255

Unit:

Seconds

Default Value:

5 This parameter indicates the interval between two grades of level-based handovers.

Description:

Remarks:

When multiple UL to OL handover requests are initiated simultaneously, it is possible that calls with low level are handed over. This does not conform to the principle that the call with the best quality should be handed over firstly. Thus, level grade-based handover is used to hand over high-level calls with higher priority. This parameter is valid only when Enhanced Concentric Cell is allowed.

Filter Penalty Data Allowed MR Number Lost Value Range:

0–31

Unit:

None

Default Value:

4 This parameter indicates the number of MRs allowed to be lost in succession.

Description:

When this threshold is not reached, the last two MRs received are gathered and the lost MR is estimated based on the linear interpolation. When this threshold is reached, all previous MRs are discarded, and calculations are made again when new MRs are received. The handover may fail. Thus, this parameter should be appropriately specified.

Remarks:

MRs fail to be decoded correctly when the signal strength in the active serving cell is poor. When this threshold is reached, all previous MRs are discarded and handover may fail. Thus, it is advised to assign this parameter with a greater value to enable emergency handover.

Huawei recommends that the settings are performed based on the existing neighboring cells and that the number of the set neighboring cells does not exceed 15. A maximum of 64 neighboring cells can be configured in the BA table, but a maximum of only 32 neighboring cells with different frequencies can be configured. In auto mode, you can fill in the BA1 and BA2 tables on the LMT according to the cell neighborhood relationship. In manual mode, you can maintain the BA table. If you modify the neighborhood relationship of a cell, such as adding a neighboring cell or deleting a cell, you should maintain the BA1 and BA2 tables.

1–15

Unit:

Measurement report period (480 milliseconds on the TCH; 470 milliseconds on the SDCCH)

Default Value:

3

Description:

Minimum time interval between two continuous power control commands

Remarks:

If the value of this parameter is too high, the power control interval is too great, and thus the power control may be delayed. If the value of this parameter is too small, the power control may be performed frequently, thus wasting the resources.

UL RX_LEV Upper Threshold Value Range:

0–63 (–110 dBm to –47 dBm)

Unit:

None

Default Value:

35 The power control step is calculated based on the signal level. The signal level has an upper threshold and a lower threshold. The signal is not adjusted between the upper threshold and the lower threshold. Power control is performed only when the signal level exceeds the upper threshold or is below the lower threshold.

Description:

This parameter determines the upper threshold of the uplink signal for power control. If the signal level exceeds this threshold, calculate a decreased value (=

Upper Threshold + Lower Threshold 2

– Received

Level). This value and the maximum adjustment step permitted by the quality of the received signal determine the actual step of power adjustment.

Remarks:

If the value of this parameter is too high, the uplink level becomes high without power control. Thus, the battery life is reduced, more network interference is caused. If the value of this parameter is too small, the uplink level becomes low, and call drop may easily occur. The value of this parameter is equal to that of UL Expected Level at HO Access.

0 When the power control step is calculated according to the signal quality, the upper threshold and the lower threshold of the stable state quality zone are set. When the signal quality exceeds the upper threshold or is below the lower threshold, power control is performed.

Description:

This parameter determines the uplink quality upper threshold of the stable state quality zone. The upper threshold is larger than or equal to the lower threshold. The power of the MS and the BTS is adjusted according to the quality and the level. For details, refer to the Power Control 2nd Generation Control table. The lower the quality level, the better the quality is.

Remarks:

If the value of this parameter is too small, the quality is good without power control. Thus, the battery life is reduced, more network interference is caused.

This parameter indicates whether the channel rearrangement (two single TCHHs are rearranged as a TCHF) is allowed.

Description:

If this parameter is set to No, the forced handover and delayed call can be avoided but the subscribers who select only TCHFs may fail the calls because the channel rearrangement is prohibited. If this parameter is set to Yes, a call may fail if TCHFs are not selected when the channel rearrangement fails. In ordinary cells, this parameter is suggested to be set to Yes. This ensures the normal timeslot rearrangement. In concentric multi-band cells, set this parameter to No because the forced handover may fail in this situation. By default, this parameter is set to Yes which allows the channel rearrangement.

This parameter indicates one of the conditions for the dynamic adjustment between TCHFs and PDCHs. This parameter is used together with the Apply-TCH Decision Period T(m).

Description:

Remarks:

If the value of Apply-TCH Decision Period T(m) is 0, the BSC cannot apply for any TCH when dynamic PDCHs are used as PDCHs. If the value of Apply-TCH Decision Period T(m) is not 0, the Idle TCH Threshold N together with Apply-TCH Decision Period T(m) decide the time at which the dynamic adjustment between TCHs and PDCHs begins. A Count is set up in a cell. It ranges from –T to T and is initialized as 0. The Count is updated every minute. If the current number of idle TCHs > the value of Idle TCH Threshold N, the value of Count increases by one. If the current number of idle TCHs the value of Idle TCH Threshold N, the value of Count decreases by one. The principle for the dynamic adjustment between the TCHF and PDCH is as follows: z

When the value of Count > T/2, the dynamic PDCHs can be assigned if the PCU sends a request to the BSC for PDCHs.

z

When the value of Count < –T/2, the BSC sends a request to the PCU for dynamic PDCHs and changes the dynamic PDCHs back to TCHs. When there is no available TCH in the cell, the BSC also sends a request to the PCU for dynamic PDCHs.

z

When –T/2 < the value of Count < T/2, PDCHs will not be assigned and the dynamic PDCHs will not be changed back to TCHs.

If the current number of idle TCHs > the value of Idle TCH Threshold N, the value of Count increases by one.

When the value of Count > T/2, the dynamic PDCHs can be assigned if the PCU sends a request to the BSC for PDCHs.

z

When the value of Count < –T/2, the BSC sends a request to the PCU for dynamic PDCHs and changes the dynamic PDCHs to TCHs. When there is no available TCH in the cell, the BSC sends a request to the PCU for dynamic PDCHs.

When –T/2 < the value of Count < T/2, PDCHs will not be assigned and the dynamic PDCHs will not be changed back to TCHs. Remarks:

This parameter indicates the duration after which the flow of updating the history channel priority starts. When setting this parameter, adhere to the following principles:

Description:

1. Generally, update the history channel priorities in a subtle and frequent manner. For example, update the history channel priority every half an hour or an hour in several concerned busy hours of a day and set Update Freq of CH Record to 2. A too high frequency of updating the history channel priorities is meaningless. A too low frequency of updating the history channel priorities may delay the updating of history channel priorities during the busy hours. 2. In the cells that are affected by fixed interference source or faulty devices, set this parameter to several hours or a day and set Update Freq of CH Record to 4 or 6. After the duration is set by this parameter, the flow of updating the history priority of channels starts. That is, the value of Update Freq of CH Record is subtracted from the history priority of channels to make the priority of the channel higher.

3.7 Other Property Parameters 3.7.1 Basic Parameters Diversity LNA Bypass Permitted Value Range:

Yes, No

Unit:

None

Default Value:

None In the BTS3002C, if a cell is configured with two TRXs (Site O2 or S2) and this parameter is set to Yes, the diversity of radio connection is supported. If a cell is configured with a TRX (Site O1, S1, or S1/1), the number of configured antennas decides the situation of diversity. If the cell is configured with an antenna (the receipt diversity is not used), and this parameter is set to Yes, the diversity does not exists. If the cell is configured with two antennas (the receipt diversity is used), and this parameter is set to No, the independent diversity exists.

Description:

In the BTS3002C, the signals transmitted through the primary and secondary antennas are optimized by the low noise amplifier (LNA) bypass circuit. The BTS3002C supports the configuration of diversity antennas. That is, the main diversity signals transmitted on a DRU are treated by the LNA circuit and then connected to the diversity port of another DRU through a tributary. Because the main diversity signal is treated by the LNA bypass circuit, the secondary diversity signals need not to be treated by the LNA bypass. After the antenna configuration of a cell is fixed, the IBAM server can configure IBBU properties through the configuration of TRX properties and it can indicate whether the LNA bypass for the secondary diversity signals is permitted through the data written to the logic register.

3.7.2 Advanced Parameters Public Channel Control Radio Resource Report Period(s) Value Range:

0–255

Unit:

Second

Default Value:

10

Description:

This parameter indicates the period of sending the RF resource indication message. The TRX reports the interference level for each of the channels that have been idle for the whole measurement period. This parameter is used by a BTS to inform the BSC of the interference levels on idle channels of a TRX. Refer to GSM protocols 0858 and 0808. If the value of this parameter is too small, the status of the RF resources is reported frequently. Therefore, the burdens on the BSC increase.

Remarks:

If the value of this parameter is too great, the status of the RF resources is not updated in time. Therefore, the BSC cannot process the interference on the BTS in time.

CCCH Load Indication Period(s) Value Range:

0–255

Unit:

Seconds

Default Value:

15 This parameter indicates the interval between the transmission of a load message and the retransmission of the load message.

Description:

Remarks:

This parameter is used by a BTS to inform the BSC of the load on a specific CCCH timeslot. Refer to GSM protocol 0858. If the load on a specific CCCH timeslot exceeds the CCCH Load Threshold, the BTS sends the CCCH overload message to the BSC after every period. The CCCH overload message includes the uplink RACH overload message and the downlink PCH overload message. If the value of this parameter is too small, the signaling traffic on the Abis interface increases and the burdens on the BSC increase. If the value of this parameter is too great, the BSC cannot process the abnormality on the BTS in time.

3-139



This parameter is used by a BTS to inform the BSC of the load on a specific CCCH timeslot. Refer to GSM protocol 0858. Description:

Remarks:

If the load on a specific CCCH timeslot exceeds the CCCH Load Threshold, the BTS sends the CCCH overload message to the BSC after every period. The period of sending an overload message is the CCCH Load Indication Period. If the value of this parameter is too small, the BTS frequently sends the overload messages to the BSC. This can result in a lower utilization ratio of the system resource and MSs access difficulty. If the value of this parameter is too great, the BTS sends the overload message to the BSC only when many MSs access the network and the system resource is insufficient. This can result in system faults.

Overload Indication Period Value Range:

1–255

Unit:

Seconds

Default Value:

15 This parameter indicates the interval between the transmission of an overload message and the retransmission of the overload message from the BTS to the BSC.

Description:

Remarks:

This parameter controls the frequency of sending the channel overload messages and TRX overload messages. The overload cases include TRX processor overload, downlink CCCH overload and ACCH overload. Refer to GSM protocol 0858. If the value of this parameter is too small, the BTS frequently sends the overload messages to the BSC. This can result in a lower utilization ratio of the system resource and MSs access difficulty. If the value of this parameter is too great, the BTS sends the overload message to the BSC only when many MSs access the network and the system resource is insufficient. This can result in system faults.

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



This parameter indicates the number of RACH burst timeslots in a RACH load measurement. It is used for the measurement of the number of the RACH burst periods during which the received signal level exceeds a given threshold. Refer to GSM protocol 0858. Description:

If the threshold is low, the BTS sends the RACH overload message to the BSC. The BSC enables the flow control function in the cell to enhance the minimum received signal level at the MS to decrease the number of RACH accesses. If the threshold is high, the BTS sends the overload message to the BSS only when the system resource is insufficient because many MSs access the network. This can result in system fault.

Remarks:

None

Abis Flow Control Permitted Value Range:

This parameter indicates the threshold used for the interference measurement. The BSS measures the uplink quality of the radio channels occupied by the serving MSs, calculates, and reports the interference level for each of the idle channels. This helps the BSC to assign channels.

Description:

According to the strength of the interference signals, the interference signals are classified into six interference levels that are the interference band thresholds. The BTS determines which level the interference signals belongs to and reports the interference level to the BSC through the RF resource indication message. The BSC knows the state of channels (busy or idle) through the measurement report and RF resource indication message and determines whether a handover is needed. The measurement result of the interference bands helps to set variable thresholds and analyze the interference. Refer to GSM protocols 0808, 0858, and 1221. Interference band 0 is not measured in the traffic measurement.

Remarks:

This parameter ranges from 115 to 85 for BTS2X series, BTS3X series earlier than the version 03.1130, BTS3001 series earlier than the version C07.0301, and BTS3002 series earlier than the version C02.0820.

SACCH period (480 ms)

Default Value:

20 This parameter indicates the period over which the average interference level is calculated.

Description:

Remarks:

The interference levels measured on idle channels are averaged before the transmission of RF resource indication message. The average interference level is used to classify the interference levels on idle channels into five interference bands. Refer to GSM protocols 0808, 0858, and 1221. A too big value of this parameter cannot reflect the change of interference. A too small value of this parameter wastes the resources.

2 This parameter indicates one of the triggering conditions when a BTS alarm is generated.

Description:

Remarks:

This parameter together with VSWR TRX unadjusted Thrsh are used to check whether the antenna feeder system connecting to the TRX is faulty. If the value of this parameter is smaller, the error is smaller. You can configure this parameter for the BTS3X Series Transceiver Station. Practically, this parameter is not used.

Frame Offset Value Range:

255, 0–7

Unit:

None

Default Value:

0 This parameter indicates the difference between the frame numbers used in different cells of a BTS.

Description:

The signals transmitted on the FCH and the SCH of neighboring cells are coded in different frames. This facilitates the MS to decode the signals. This also avoids the situation that the measurement reports are missed when the Base Station Identity Code (BSIC) cannot be decoded. Thus, this enhances the overall BSC successful handover rate. By default, this parameter is set to 0 that a synchronized handover involving in the cell with a frame offset (not 0) must be changed to an asynchronous handover. If this parameter is set to 255, the frame offset field is not sent. For the BTS3001C, BTS3001C+, BTS3002C, and BTS2X, the OMC needs to set this parameter to 255. For BTS3X, BTS3002C, and dual-transceiver BTSs, the frame offset for the cells can preset according to the value of this parameter.

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)

At present, six synchronized cells in a BTS are commonly used in the GSM 900/1800 networking. The drive test shows that: When an MS is in the idle state, sometimes the cell cannot reselect the neighboring cell in time because the BSIC of the cell are not decoded. When an MS is having a call, sometimes the signal level of the target cell is high but the BSIC cannot be decoded. This results in a low successful handover rate. The percentage of call drops during handovers accounts for nearly half of the overall call drops. Remarks:

When the MS is in the dedicated mode and six synchronized cells are configured in a BTS, the MS can measure the signal level of the neighboring cell and decode the BSIC only during the duration of idle frames. To keep synchronization between cells in a BTS, the FCH of neighboring cells must be decoded and then the messages on the SCH can be decoded. Because the FCH and SCH frame of the other five synchronized cells occur in the same frame duration. The MS can decode only parts of the BSICs for the cells. Thus, the measurement reports of the cells whose BSICs cannot be decoded cannot be reported. The previous situations can be found in the measurement report over the Abis interface by a test MS. It has influence on the system handover determination, that is, the system cannot make the handover determination in time or cannot make the correct handover determination.

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



This parameter indicates the delay time after the cell initialization to detect whether the TRX mutual-aid function is enabled. This parameter is used to delay detecting whether the TRX mutual-aid function is enabled. Because the cell that has just been initialized is not in a stable status, the decision on whether the TRX mutual-aid function is enabled may be incorrect.

Description:

If the value of this parameter is too small, the decision on whether the TRX mutual-aid function is enabled may be incorrect. Remarks:

If the value of this parameter is too great, the TRX mutual-aid function may not be triggered in time when a main BCCH is faulty immediately after the cell is initialized.

The BCCHs in a cell must be configured according to the number of channels in a cell and the paging capability in the location area (LA).

z

Timeslot 0 of a TRX is assigned to the primary and combined BCCHs. Timeslot 2, 4, or 6 of a TRX is assigned to the extended BCCHs.

z

If an extended BCCH is configured, the parameters related with the CCCH in the system information must be configured correspondingly. For example, if a BCCH is assigned timeslot 2 of a TRX, two non-combined CCCHs must be configured in the system information.

Configure a CBCH for a cell in the radio channel configuration to enable the cell broadcast function for the cell. Pay attention to the following points in the configuration of a CBCH.

Remarks:

z

If an SDCCH/8 is used for a CBCH, you can change a TCH or a SDCCH to SDCCH+CBCH; if an SDCCH/4 is used for a CBCH, select the channel type BCCH+CBCH.

z

Use an SDCCH/8 or SDCCH/4 for a CBCH according to the network planning of the cell. There is no difference in the effect of the cell broadcast service whether a SDCCH/8 or a SDCCH/4 is used for a CBCH.

Pay attention to the following points if you select TCH HR in the Channel Type field. Because the half-rate networking mode is a special networking mode, its data configuration is different from those in other networking modes. z

The load on RSLs of every TRX increases. The maximum multiplexing ratio of the LAPD signaling links on the Abis interface is 2:1.

z

An E1 link supports a maximum of 13 TRXs. When LAPD signaling links are not multiplexed, lesser TRXs are supported by an E1 link.

The principles of Channel Type configuration are as follows:

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)

z

Configure one SDCCH/8 for one or two TRXs; Configure two SDCCH/8s for three or four TRXs; Configure three SDCCH/8s for five or six TRXs; enable the dynamic SDCCH allocation and ensure that the function works well.

z

Evenly configure the SDCCHs for the TRXs in a cell.

z

For a TRX that is configured with a primary BCCH, configure less than two SDCCHs.

z

For a TRX that is not configured with a primary BCCH, configure no more than two SDCCHs.

z

In 16 kbit/s terrestrial communication mode, configure no more than one SDCCH for a TRX if the MR preprocessing function is not enabled.

z

If the traffic volume is high, you can configure no SDCCH for the TRX with a primary BCCH.

GPRS Channel Priority Type Value Range:

GPRS Channel, EGPRS Normal Channel, EGPRS Priority Channel, EGPRS Special Channel, None-GPRS Channel

Unit:

None When Channel Type is set to non-PDTCH, the default value is None-GPRS Channel.

Default Value:

When Channel Type is set to PDTCH and the cell does not support EDGE services, the default value is EGPRS Normal Channel. When Channel Type is set to PDTCH and the cell supports EDGE services, the default value is EGPRS Normal Channel. This parameter indicates the EGPRS priority type of a channel. When Channel Type is set to PDTCH, the parameter takes effect. z

If the parameter is set to GPRS Channel, the MSs that are accessed through EDGE services cannot occupy this channel.

z

If the parameter is set to EGPRS Normal Channel, the MSs that are accessed through both GPRS services and EDGE services can occupy this channel and the priority levels are the same.

z

If the parameter is set to EGPRS Priority Channel, the MSs that are accessed through EDGE services preferentially occupy this channel.

z

If the parameter is set to EGPRS Special Channel, the MSs that are accessed through only the EDGE services can occupy this channel.

Description:

Remarks:

None

HSN Value Range:

0–63

Unit:

None

Default Value:

None Type of the hopping sequence number (HSN)

Description:

Value 0 indicates sequential frequency hopping (FH). Value 1–63 indicates pseudorandom frequency hopping. The HSN of all the channels in a cell must be the same. If the HSN is greater than 63, the MS fails to access the network.

Remarks:

None

TSC

4-10

Value Range:

0–7

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Training sequence code (TSC), the same with the base station color code (BCC) of a cell


Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



The TSC must be the same with the BCC of a cell.

Description:

Through a specified TSC, an MS or a BTS balances the delay of receiving signals. It cannot balance the delay of co-frequency signals with different TSCs, so that the co-frequency signals with different TSCs cannot be demodulated. The use of the TSC enables the MS or BTS to identify signals that can be received and avoids co-frequency interference in signals.

Remarks:

When a cell applies the FH, the TSC and BCC of a cell must be the same. Otherwise, the TCHs of the cell cannot be occupied normally.

TRX Index Value Range:

MAIO (Mobile Allocation Index Offset)

Issue 03 (2007-05-09)

Value Range:

0–255

Unit:

None


4-11



Default Value:

0 Mobile allocation index offset When the frame FH is applied, the channels on a TRX are suggested to be configured with the same MAIO.

Description:

Different TRXs in a cell are suggested to be configured with different MAIOs to ensure that the TRXs (in a synchronous cell) with the same HSN and MA have different MAIOs in the same timeslot. This avoids the co-frequency collision. When the timeslot FH is applied, channels on a TRX can be configured with different MAIOs.

Remarks:

None

Abis Mode Value Range:

Auto Allocate, Manual Allocate

Unit:

None

Default Value:

Auto Allocate Configuration mode of timeslots for the channels on the Abis interface

Description:

Unit:

None

Default Value:

None Whether to use frequency hopping (FH) and which FH mode is to be used

Description:

If None FH is selected, the frequency hopping is not applied in this cell even though the FH data table is configured. Applying FH can obtain average interference and frequency diversity. The BTS2X series base stations support the radio frequency hopping (RF FH).

Remarks:

All the versions of the BTS3X series base stations support the BaseBand FH and RF FH, including the timeslot FH and frame FH. Dual-transceiver BTSs support both baseband FH and RF hopping, including timeslot-based FH and frame-based FH, but do not support inter-cabinet baseband FH.

4-14

Unit:

None

Default Value:

0


Issue 03 (2007-05-09)



A greater value of this parameter indicates a lower transmission power. Value 0 indicates the highest transmission power. The transmission powers indicated by the ascending power levels are in the descending order. The difference between two neighboring levels is 2 dB. z

You can increase the value of Power Level to absorb the traffic adequately in a cell. If there is serious cross coverage because antennas are installed in a very high position, you shall consider lowering the heights of antennas and enlarging the tilt angles of antennas. Because decreasing the transmission power of BTSs can result in poor indoor coverage.

z

Ensure that the valid frequencies are in the subset of the CA table.

z

When setting the Power Level for the cells with the same priorities, ensure that Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Powers (EIRPs) of the cells are generally consistent.

z

When setting the Power Level, consider that the power losses of TRXs in a cell differ in different combining manners of TRXs.

z

When FH is not applied, only the first frequency among all the available frequencies of a TRX is useful.
