Paging co-ordination means that the network sends CS
paging messages on the PS channel, i.e., on the GPRS/EDGE
paging channel or on the GPRS/EDGE traffic channel, so the
MS needs only to monitor that channel.

GPRS/EDGE Power Control
Purpose of GPRS/EDGE power control
Save the power
Reduce the interference of the network
GPRS/EDGE power control is complex than GSM for
discontinuous transmission
Normally now just uplink power control is implemented
Copyright 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page29
GPRS/EDGE Power Control
According GPRS/EDGE principle, GPRS/EDGE MS output power as below
Pch = Min (Io - Ich o*( C+48) , Pmax)
Pch: The PDCH output power in every independent uplink link, the unit is
dBm;
Io: 39dBm for GSM 900, 36dBm for DCS1800
Ich: Gamma, specified power control parameter for MS and the channel
o: Alpha, set by the network side. For open-loop power control, it is 1.0
C: the receiving signal level of MS
Pmax: the maximum allowed transmit power for MS. If PBCCH exists, it is
GPRS/EDGE_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH; otherwise, it is
MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH.

GPRS/EDGE Cell Reselection
During ready and standby mode, MS will occur cell reselection
MS-controlled Cell reselection(also called autonomous cell reselection)
will be triggered upon the following 5 kinds of conditions
Current serving cell is prohibited
Down link fails(DSC)
C1

<0 for 5s
MS starts a cell reselection if the access times exceed [MS MAX

Copyright 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page33
GPRS/EDGE Cell Reselection
If PBCCH no exists, the cell reselection is basically the same as GSM
cell reselection
When the two cells locates in the different routing areas or the
MS is in READY mode, the C2

In the NC2 mode and Ready state, the MS periodically sends packet
measurement reports to the BSC. The BSC determines whether to perform cell
reselection.
The NC2 feature supports
Intra-BSC cell reselection
Inter-BSC cell reselection
GERAN-to-UTRAN cell reselection
GERAN-to-EUTRAN cell reselection

Trigger Condition to NC2 Procedure
In NC2 mode, any of the following events triggers a network-
controlled cell reselection.
The MS signal strength keeps falling, and a neighboring cell with stronger signal
strength exists.
The MS signal quality keeps deteriorating, and a neighboring cell with better signal
quality exists.
The serving cell of the MS is overloaded, and a neighboring cell with lighter load
and stronger signal strength exists.
The SGSN indicates that the RAT(such as, GERAN, UTRAN, or EUTRAN) suitable for
the MS is different from the current RAT.
In Standby state, the MS initiates autonomous cell reselection regardless of
the NC mode.

from the BSC when performing cell reselection.
NACC is classified into
