MFRMS N = 4 Downlink signalling failure counter is initialised: D = round(90/N) = {N = 4} = 22. If the MS successfully decodes a paging message, then: D = D + 1 = 23.

If the MS unsuccessfully decodes a paging message, then: D = D - 4 = 18. D = min{round(90/N), D}. 3.4.2 Borders between Location Areas If the MS is moving in a border area between location areas, it might repeatedly change between cells of different location areas. Each change of location area would require a location updating to be performed, which would cause a heavy signalling load and thereby also increasing the risk of paging messages being lost. To prevent this, a cell reselect hysteresis parameter, CRH, is used. A cel l in a different location area is only selected if it is better , in terms of the qua ntity C2 (C1 for GSM phase 1 mobiles), than all the cells in the current
