The main interface shows three windows: tree in the left window shows
objects to be created and maintained, right window describes relationship
between BSC and SITE giving logical illustration, and the window below
shows the man-machine command MMI command created by the
operations. The status bar shows linking status with server and machine
number of the client terminal.

Chapter 1 - Overview
Most radio parameters in GSM system are based on one cell or one
district. It is necessary to consider whether parameter adjustment in this
district will influence other districts, especially adjacent one, for
parameters between districts are related to each other greatly. Otherwise,
it may cause bad influence. Determine whether the problem results from
equipment fault (including connections) first when it occurs in some part
of the network. Adjust radio parameters only when determining that the
problem does result from service.

8. InHoEnable
Description: To define whether to allow handover between cells inside
a BSC. BSS supports internal handover inside a cell (handover between
different channels within a same cell) and handover between cells
controlled by MSC. It can also support handover between different cells
inside BSS. This can be set via OMS. Internal handover between
different cells of a BSS can reduce messages between BSS and MSC
because message will not be sent to MSC before the execution of
handover. Only after a handover is completed, will BSS send the
HANDOVER EXECUTION message to MSC.
Value range: True/False
Default value: True
9. LocName
Description: Name of geographic location of a Base Station Controller
10. ResourceIndThs
Description: A threshold value that BSC automatically indicates to
MSC, and ratio of present available channels to the total channels. This
parameter is for the threshold of automatic indication mode. The
resource indication configured by O&M must be given to MSC when
available cell resources are less than the parameter, to notify the cell
condition. There are four modes during the resource indication by BSC.

will repeat entire resetting process when BSC sends the BSSAP
RESET message to MSC and if the BSSAP RESET ACKNOWLEDGE
message sent by MSC has not been received in a specified T4 time.
The BSSAP RESET message can be repeated up to N times. MSC will
end the resetting process and inform OMS if no reply is obtained after
sending N messages. N depends on BscMaxResetNum parameter.
Default value: 3
12. CircMaxResetNum
Description: Maximum number of repeating times for BSC circuit
resetting. It will repeat circuit resetting process when BSC sends the
BSSAP RESET CIRCUIT message to MSC and if the BSSAP RESET
CIRCUIT ACKNOWLEDG message has not been received in the GSMspecified T19 time. The BSSAP RESET CIRCUIT message can be
repeated up to N times. MSC will end the resetting process and inform
OMS if no reply is obtained after N times. N depends on
CircMaxResetNum parameter.
Default value: 3
13. ConfusionMsg
Description: To determine whether to allow BSC to send the BSSAP
CONFUSION message. This message is bi-directional, indicating that
the received message cannot be correctly processed due to
unidentified reasons. A confusion message will be sent while there are
no other suitable fault messages to return,
Value range: True: Enabling BSC to send BSSAP CONFUSION
messages; False: Disabling BSC to send BSSAP CONFUSION messages

network receives the PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message before
the T3191 timer expires and is required to re-transmit it. T3191 timer
is terminated and enabled T3193 timer if re-transmission is not
necessary. The network releases TBF when T3193 timer expires. The
network also releases TBF when T3191 expires; 2) In unacknowledged
mode, MS must send the PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGE
message in the uplink block specified by the RRBP field. T3191 is
terminated and T3193 enabled if the network receives the PACKET

3. CELL Trigger Period of the Bssgp Flow Control (CelFcPer)
Description: This parameter is the BVC leakage ratio measurement
period in the BVC Flow Control process, that is, BVC long
measurement period. To provide reference to the BVC flow control at
the SGSN side, the BSSGP process at the BSS side periodically
measures the current BVC leakage ratio. BVC flow control procedure
is initiated unconditionally when the long measurement timer
overflows. It needs to be confirmed by SGSN if the difference of the
leakage ratios between the two times exceeds CellFcThs. BVC flow
control procedure is also initiated and it also needs to be confirmed by
SGSN if the short measurement timer overflows, and the difference of
the leakage ratio between the two times exceeds CellFcThs. In the
OMCR (V2) system, BVC short measurement period = BVC long
measurement period / 3.
Value range: 0 ~ 65535 (10ms)
Default value: 3000
4. MS Trigger Period of the Bssgp Flow Control (MsFcPer)
Description: This parameter is MS leakage ratio measurement period in
the MS Flow Control process, that is, MS long measurement period.
For reference of flow control at the SGSN side, the BSSGP process at
the BSS side periodically measures the current leakage ratio of each
MS. MS Flow Control process is initialized unconditionally when the
long measurement timer overflows. SGSN must acknowledge it if the
difference between the two leakage ratios exceeds MsFcThs. MS Flow
Control process is initialized and it also needs acknowledgement from
the SGSN when the short measurement timer overflows, and the
difference between the two leakage ratios exceeds MsFcThs. In the
OMCR (V2) system, MS short measurement period = MS long
measurement period/3.

Default value: 3000
5. N3101: Maximum allowed number of continuous losses of uplink data
blocks
Description: This is the parameter used at RLC/MAC layer of BRP.
During packet uplink transmission, BSS will specify USF (corresponding
to one uplink TBF) for each uplink block. For a USF, if the network
receives correct data from a specified uplink block, timer N3101 is
cleared for that TBF; if the number of losses in that specified uplink
block exceeds N3101, then timer T3169 is started. TFI and USF
resources are available for use by the network when T3169 expires.

14. Ideal Channel Bearer Rate (OverLoadTh)
Description: This parameter is used by the database in the peripheral
module MP. Two steps of GPRS uplink and downlink PS wireless
resource assignment: The first step is to assign a time slot, that is,
PDCH channel assignment implemented by the database on MP. The
second step is to assign specific RLC/MAC data block resources on each
channel accomplished by a packet control module. In MP, to prevent
one PS channel from being used infinitely, the system sets a
Maximum bearing rate threshold for the packet channel. It is set in
the Channel busy state if the bearer rate of a packet channel has
exceeded the threshold value. The subsequent packet access will not
take that channel into account, to avoid congestion on the timeslot
level.
Value range: 0 ~ 65535 (100bps)
Default value: 65535
15. Original Access Rate (DefRate)
Description: This parameter is used by the database in peripheral
module MP. At the initial access of MS (especially the first step, that is,
channel request, of the two-step access process), it may not have the
resource request information. The network side will allocate the PS
channel at the default rate. Also, during the TBF establishment, the
resource rate is less than DefRate, the database will not take the extra
timeslot capability of MS into account instead allocate a single PS
channel to it for utilizing the channel resources effectively.
Value range: 0 ~ 65535 (100bps)

2. Whether to support MS flow control (MsFlowCtrl)
Description: MS flow control occurs on Gb interface between SGSN and
BSS, and only on downlinks. BSS provides control parameters and
SGSN executes, to avoid one MS on BSS to abandon some LLC data
because of the overtime caused by grouping channel is too busy (too
many LLC frame caches) and to avoid new downlink LLC data because
of limit of memory resource (overflow of LLC frame caches). BSSGP
process at BSS side counts current leaking rate of MS periodically
(including short statistics and long statistics). MsFlowCtrl originates
unconditionally if long statistics timer overflows and SGSN
acknowledgement is necessary if discrepant range of adjacent leaking
rates is over MsFcThs. MsFlowCtrl originates and SGSN confirmation
is necessary if short statistics timer overflows and discrepant range of
adjacent leaking rates is over MsFcThs.
Value range: True: enabling MS to support BVC flow control; False:
Disabling MS to support BVC flow control
Default value: False
3. Flow control mode (FlowCtrlMode):

radio interface counted by BSC
Mode 2: Report flow control parameters according to max traffic that
the cell can provide
Mode 3: Reserved
Value range: 1 ~ 3
Default value: 1
4. Flow control 1 parameters (FlowCtlMode1Para)
Description: BSC reports flow control parameters according to actual
traffic on radio interface when adopting mode 1. Actual counted value
is smaller because of radio interface re-transmission and TBF failure,
so BSC times actual traffic with a times depending on this parameter
when reporting flow control parameters.
Value range: 1 ~ 100
Default value: 1
5. Flow control mode 2 parameters (FlowCtlMode1Para)
Description: BSC reports flow control parameters according to max
traffic that the cell can provide when adopting mode 2. Max value
depends on channels configured. Counting formula: channels * max
traffic that every channel can provide. This parameter is max traffic
that every channel can provide, with the unit of 100 bps.

Note: Neighboring GSM PLMN usually select different NCCs.
8. BTS Color Code (BCC)
Description: BCC is one of the composition parts of the Base Station ID
Code (BSIC) (BSIC = NCC + BCC). BCC is usually to enable mobile
stations to distinguish adjacent cells with the same BCCH carrier

procedure is initiated in case of MS cell reselection in attach state, if
the RAIs of the old and new cells change. MS and SGSN in Standby
state know the routing area information. It pages MS in that routing
61
area when the network has packet data or circuit data to transmit. RAI
cannot span more than one SGSN.
Value range: 0 ~ 255
Note: Uniformly planned by the network operator
12. MS Min RxLev to Access (RxLevAsMin)
Description: Parameter used on MS side. This parameter is

PSI3bis messages of adjacent cells. It indicates minimum receiving
level for MS to access the GPRS system. It is prescribed in the GSM
system that receiving level must be larger than a threshold level when
MS needs to access the network, that is: MS Min RxLev to Access
(RxLevAsMin). It is to prevent MS from accessing the system in case of
low receiving signal level (the communication quality cannot guarantee
normal
communication
process
after
accessing),
and
from
unreasonably wasting the radio source of network. In addition, it is
also one of standards for MS to make cell selection and reselection (a
parameter to calculate C31 and C32).

Note: MS near BTS will interfere with the neighboring channels if this
parameter is set to a large value. MS at the cell boundary will have low
access success rate if it is too small. Reduce MS access level when
possible under the precondition that MS at the cell boundary is
guaranteed with certain access success rate. The value of this
parameter is usually set as 5 (corresponding to GSM900MS) and 2
(corresponding to GSM1800MS). Test it in experiment mode in
practical applications, after the parameter is set, that is, make a dial
test at the cell boundary, and test MS access success rate and access
time with different parameter settings to determine whether to
increase or decrease parameter value.
14. Offset (dB) (ReselOff)

stack is assigned with one BSSGP Virtual Connection (BVC)
(NSEI+BVCI) to facilitate the management. Each BVC must belong to
one NSE. NSE is the network service entity. It is numbered uniformly
in the entire network, marked with NSEI. Generally, one BSC is divided
into one service entity. In view of expandability, the ZXG10 system
also allows BSC to be attached with several NSEs.
Value range: 0 ~ 0xFFFF
Note: Uniformly planned by the network operator
19. BSSGP Virtual Connection Identifier (BVC No.)
Description: BSSGP Virtual Connection (BVC) provides an approach for
the communications among different BSSGP entities. The peer-to-peer
Point-to-Point (PTP) or Point-to-Multipoint PTM or inter-signaling entity
transmission of BSSGP PDUs is based on BVC. Each virtual connection
has one identifier, that is, BVCI. It enables the network service layer at
the bottom layer to route BSSGP PDUs to the peer entity very
effectively. Each GPRS cell in one NSE can be identified by a BVCI
uniquely. One NSE has only one piece of signaling BVC (BVCI=0).
Value range: 0 ~ 65535
Note: Uniformly planned by the network operator
20. Route Area Code (RAC)
Description: GPRS system further divides the location area to several
routing areas that are identified by RAI (MCC+MNC+LAC+RAC), like
the GSM system using the location area to manage a group of cells. In
case of MS cell reselection in attach state, if the RAIs of the old and
new cells change, Routing area update procedure is initiated. MS and
SGSN in Standby state know the routing area information, thus when
the network has the packet data or circuit data to transmit, it pages
MS in that routing area. RAI cannot span more than one SGSN.
Value range: 0 ~ 255
Note: Uniformly planned by the network operator.
21. PUC MUnit No. (SPCUMUNIT)
Description: The composite unit No. of SPCU corresponding to a cell.
73
Value range: 0 ~ 255, and 0 indicates that the SPCU composite unit
is not configured
22. BRP Group (BRPGROUP)
Description: BRP group related to the cell in the interface.
Value range: 1 ~ 6
23. Whether to support dynamic HR (DynalHREnable)
Value range: True: Dynamic HR enabled; False: Dynamic HR disabled
Default range: False
24. Channel Select Priority
Value range: 0 ~ 2
Basic Parameters 2
1. Survey Average Burst Count by RACH (AvgSlots)
Description: The number of bursts measured on RACH. RACH channel
is overloaded if some receiving signal levels of AvgSlots BP are less
than the RachBusyThs. It is a parameter used by BTS.
Value range: 0 ~ 100
Default value: 60
2. Bss Link Layer Error Counter Maximal (BsRadioLKTmOut)
Description: Maxmium value of the counter S that measures the radio
link faults on BSS side
Value range: 0 ~ 15
Default value: 15
3. Ms Link Layer Error Counter Maximal (MsRadioLKTmOut)
Description: Maxmium value of the counter S that measures the radio
link faults on MS side
Value range: 0 ~ 15
Default value: 15
4. MS Get the Minimal Intensity When Visit this Cell (RxLevAccessMin)
Description: It is minimal receiving level to allow MS to access the cell.
It is prescribed in GSM system that the receiving level be greater than
a threshold for MS to access the network, that is, MS Min RxLev to
Access (minimum receiving level for MS to access the network). It
prevents MS from accessing the system at a low receiving signal level
(the poor communication quality usually cannot guarantee normal
communications after access), and from unreasonably wasting the
radio sources of network. In addition, it is one of the criteria for MS to
select and reselect the cell. The parameter will be broadcasted to all
MSs in a cell through RIL3_RR SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE3 and
TYPE4 messages. RxLevAccessMin is also one of cell selection
parameters.

8. Ms Max Transmit Power When Access (MTPMax)
Description: The transmission power is controlled by the network
during the communication between MS and BTS. The network sets the
power for MS via the power command and the command is transmitted
on SACCH (the SACCH has 2 header bytes, one is the power control
byte and the other is the lead time byte). MS must extract the power
control header from downward SACCH and takes the specified
transmission power as output power. It will output the closest
transmission power that can be output if the power level of MS cannot
output the power value. It must be used with other channels, such as
SDCCH, TCH, for SACCH is the associated channel signal. MS power
control by the network actually begins after MS receives SACCH. The
power (that is, the power used when the channel request is sent on
RACH) used by MS before receiving SACCH depends on the control
channel
maximum
power
level
MsTxPwrMaxCch.
The
MsTxPwrMaxCch is also a parameter for cell selection and reselection
by MS, involving in calculation of C1 and C2 values. This parameter is
broadcasted to all the MSs in the cell via RIL3_RR SYSTEM
INFORMATION TYPE3 and TYPE4 messages, which is one of the cell
selection parameters.
Value range: See Table 61 for value range of MS max transmit power
when access.

Note: MS near BTS will interfere with the neighboring channels if this
parameter is set to a large value. MS at the cell boundary will have low
access success rate if it is too small. Reduce MS access under the
precondition that MS at the cell boundary is guaranteed certain access
success rate, if possible. The larger the cell coverage, the higher is MS
output power level. This parameter is usually set at 5 corresponding to
GSM900MS and 0 for the GSM1800MS. Make a dial test at the cell
boundary after the parameter is set in practical applications, and test
MS access success rate and access time with different parameter
settings to determine whether to increase or decrease the value of this
parameter.
Default value: 2
9. AGCH Model Count (BsAgBlkRes)
Description: This is the amount of blocks used for AGCH in the 51
multiple frames (BS-AG-BLK-RES). Table 62 shows the CCCH channel
information blocks contained in each BCCH multi-frame (51 frames
contained) in case of different CCCH configurations. The number of
blocks reserved to allow access channel in the CCCH channel message
blocks on the network must be set, for CCCH channels contain both the
allowed access channel and paging channel. The system message of
each cell contains a configuration parameter to make this configuration
information known to MS, that is, the access allowed reserved blocks
can be calculated via CCCHConf and BsAgBlkRe for the number of
BsAgBlkRes blocks of PCH. This parameter can be dynamically
adjusted during the actual running according to the load status of
different common channels. It is the broadcast to all MSs in the cell
through the RIL3_RR SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE3 message.
Value range: See Table 62 for value range of AGCH model count.

Optional Parameters
1. Whether to allow IMSI attach/detach (Attach/Detach)
Description: IMSI Attach/detach Allowed, ATT in a cell. IMSI detaching
process means that MS reports entering non-working status to the
network, that is, switch-off or the process to take the SIM card out
from the MS. The network (normally VLR) marks the IMSI subscriber in
a non-working status, and the called connection request of the
subscriber will be denied now, so it is unnecessary to page.
Accordingly, the attaching process of IMSI means that MS reports
entering working status to the network or reinserting the SIM card into
the MS, and MS checks whether the LAI that of MS located is
consistent with the original one saved. Start the IMSI attaching
process if so and start the location updating process if not. The
network marks the working status of the subscriber when receiving the
IMSI attaching or the location update process. This parameter is
contained in the information unit Control channel description for
RIL3_RR SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE3 message.

performance and utilization rate of radio resources of the network. As
to the area with relatively high traffic, a higher cycle can be chosen
(that is, 16 or 20 hours, even 25 hours). T3212 can be relatively small
(such as 3 or 6 hours) for the area with ordinary traffic. And it is better
to set T3212 as 0 for the area with extreme overload traffic.

4. Temp Offset (TO) (TemporaryOffset)
Description: The cell reselect caused by the radio channel quality takes
the C2 as the standard. The C2 is formed according to parameter C1
plus some factitious offset parameters, to add the factitious influence
is to encourage MS to enter some cells in priority, or to block MS
entering some cells. Usually, such measures are all adopted to balance
the traffic on the network. Besides C1, there are three factors affecting
C2:
ReselOffset,
TemporaryOffset,
and
PenaltyTime.
The
TemporaryOffset indicates the temporary modification value for C2.
What temporary means that it only acts on C2 for a period of time and
the period depends on parameter PenaltyTime. This parameter is
broadcasted to all MSs in the cell via messages RIL3_RR SYSTEM
INFORMATION TYPE3 and TYPE4, which is one of the cell selection
parameters. Whether this parameter is valid depends on CellReselPI.
Value range: See Table 68 for value range of temp offset (TO).

6. Early Class Mark Transmission Control (ECSC)
Description: MS will transmit appended class mark information
(Classmark 3) to the network via the CLASSMARK CHANGE message
as soon as possible according to the GSM specifications, when a MS is
equipped with the ECSC function that is also supported by the network
and after it is assigned. Whether the network supports ECSC function
depends on ECSC parameter. The parameter is broadcasted to the
MSs in the cell via RIL3_RR SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE3 message.
Value range: False: Disabling MS early class mark transmission; True:
Enabling MS early class mark transmission
Note: Set ECSC as True if there is another frequency section in
adjacent cell for handover or the cell is an expanded GSM cell, and the
network supports the ECSC function. Otherwise, it will be set as False.

5. Allow Rapid Average after Power Control(FastAvg)
Description: The corresponding handover and power control may not
be performed during the calling process due to less measured data.
The process of calculating average value can be enabled, for these
processes generally require values that can be measured reach a
certain window size, for example, when the window size to calculate
average value is 8. Common average process will not take place, for
the BSC has only received 5 measured values. BSC will directly
calculate the average of the 5 measured values if the fast average
process is adopted. There are two cases resulting in insufficient data
for calculating the average value, that is, call establishment period,
after handover and after power control. It is necessary to point out
that, after the power control is performed once, former measured
values are discarded in situations where they could result in an error
control (measured values without the influence on handover control
are still existing). In addition, old measured values are discarded after
the handover has occurred keeping it from causing error control (the
forward and backward cells are in the same BSC).
Value range: False: Disabling Rapid Average after Power Control; True:
Enabling Rapid Average after Power Control.
Default value: False
6. Allow FACCH Call Setup after Emergency Call/Allow FACCH Call Setup
when Page Respond/Allow Call Setup on FACCH/Allow Call Reestablish

attempts to access the network, and there is no SDCCH available in
the cell.

System Parameters
1. Survey Period (InterfAvgPrd)
Description: BTS needs to measure interference on the unallocated
traffic channels, calculate the average of the recent interference values
periodically and convert it into corresponding interference band
information, and then transfer it to BSC in the RF RESOURCE
INDICATION message as a factor to be considered in channel
allocation of BSC. This is one of the BTS parameters.
Value range: See Table 78 for value range of survey period.

2. Interference Boundary (InterfBoundary)
Description: BTS needs to measure interference on unallocated traffic

periodically and convert it into corresponding interference band
information, and transfer it to BSC in the RF RESOURCE INDICATION
message as a factor to be considered in channel allocation of BSC. The
interface boundaries are used to help convert the interference level
(average) value into corresponding interference band information.
Altogether six boundaries determine five interference bands. In fact, it
is unnecessary to set interference boundary 0 and interference
boundary 5. One represents infinity and the other represents negative
infinity. This parameter, describing the remaining four boundaries, is
one of the configuration parameters of BTS.

3. Radio Link Failure (RLF) Judge Standard (ConFailCriterion)
Description: The network side (BTS) may judge whether the radio link
fails according to two standards: One based on the uplink SACCH error
rate and the other based on measured value of RXLEV/RXQUAL. This
parameter determines which method BTS uses as the standard to
judge connection failure. If SACCH error rate is used as the standard to
judge connection failure, BTS will use the same RadioLkTimeout
parameter value and the same process as MS does, thus avoiding
inconsistent judgment standards in the uplink and downlink directions.
Meanwhile, parameters RxLevThs and RxQualThs are invalid. If the

5. Quality Threshold of Survey RLF (RxQualThs)
Description: The network side (BTS) may judge whether the radio link
fails according to two standards of GSM specifications. One is based on
uplink SACCH error rate, and the other is based on measured value of
RXLEV/RXQUAL. The radio link will be considered as failed when BTS
detects that the uplink receiving level is smaller than a certain
threshold or the uplink receiving quality is greater than a certain
threshold if measured value of RXLEV/RXQUAL is used as a standard
to judge a connection failure. Parameter RxQualThs specifies reciving
threshold quality. This parameter is invalid if uplink SACCH error rate

7. Send OverLoad Message Minimal Period (OverloadPrd)
Description: TRX will notify BSC according to GSM specifications by
sending OVERLOAD message periodically until overload disappears,
in case of CPU overload of TRX, or downlink CCCH channel overload, or
AGCH channel overload. The parameter OverloadPrd specifies period
for TRX to send OVERLOAD message, and it is one of the
configuration parameters of BTS (all TRXs under BTS use same
period).
Value range: 1 ~ 31 (in the unit of 102TDMA frame)
Default value: 10
8. PHY INFO Period during the Process of TCH Handover: T3105 0

Default value: 0
3. SMS Mode allowed in Cell Broadcasting (SmsBCUsed)
Description: Cell broadcasting short messages is also an optional
service of BSC according to specifications. Useful information may be
broadcasted to MS in the cell through the service, such as weather
forecasting and traffic. This parameter determines whether the service
of cell broadcasting short messages is available and whether to adopt
101
the Discontinuous Receiving (DRX) mode. However, the fact that BSC
can use the service of cell broadcasting short messages does not
guarantee that MS can receive short messages. CBCH channel must be
configured for the cell for this purpose. On one hand, DRX mode in cell
broadcasting short message service can save battery for the MS; on
the other hand, MS can choose to receive only the short messages that
it is interested in.
Value range: 0: not using the process of cell broadcasting short
messages; 1: using the process of cell broadcasting short messages,
but not adopting DRX mode; 2: using the process of cell broadcasting
short messages and also adopting the DRX mode.
Default value is 0
4. MS DTX Mode (broadcast on BCCH) (DtxUplinkBCCH)
Description: The Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) mode means that the
system does not transmit signals during the speech intermission of the
subscriber conversation. This parameter controls how MS uses the DTX
mode. On one hand, the RIL3_RR SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE3
message should be broadcasted to all MSs in the cell; on the other
hand, it may be necessary to notify MSs of older versions (of the first
stage) through the RIL3_RR SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE6 message
on SACCH. For MSs of newer versions, the RIL3_RR SYSTEM
INFORMATION TYPE6 message contains DtxUplinkSacch. This
parameter is one of the network function parameters.

in every cell share same CCCH. CCCH may be functioned by one or
multiple physical channels, depending on the configuration of service
channels and traffic model of the cell. CCCH and SDCCH can share
same physical channel. The configuration parameter of CCCH,
CcchConf, determines the combining mode of CCCH in a cell. This

transmission, if RLC data block to be transmitted is the final downlink
data block, the network will send an RLC data block with the Final
Block Identifier (FBI) domain as 1 and containing an effective RRBP
field to initialize the release of the downlink TBF. For each received RLC
data block with FBI as 1 and containing an effective RRBP domain: 1)
In the acknowledged mode, MS should send the PACKET DOWNLINK
ACK/NACK message with the FBI domain as 1 on the uplink block
specified by the RRBP domain; 2) In the unacknowledged mode, MS
should send the PACKET CONTROL ACK message on the uplink block
specified by the RRBP domain. Then, MS will start the T3192 timer.
When T3192 expires, the system will release resources; stop listening
to the PDCCH channel, and turns to listen to the paging channel. If a
MS receives the PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT or PACKET
TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message from the network within the

2. Threshold of single TRX Cell to hand over from full rate to half rate
(SinTrxFRToHRThs)
Description: Threshold value of single TRX cell to hand over from full
rate to half rate = TCH channels occupied in cell/all available TCH
channels in the cell (including IDLE and BUSY). TCH channels contain
TCH/F and TCH/H. It is necessary to perform the handover of TCH/F
TCH/H, for the traffic is busy in the cell that upper limit corresponds to.
Cells fall into two types during the handover from full rate to half rate:
TCH channels are less if only one TRX is configured in the cell and it is
necessary to configure BCCH and SDCCH channels. Therefore, there
are 6 TCH channels in a single TRX cell. There must be difference
between the threshold of single TRX cell and of multiple TRXs, to
reflect actual situation better.
Threshold falls into RMM module threshold and cell threshold,
according to convenience of controlling the cell and difference of the
cell. RMM module threshold is default. It is valid to all cells configured
with dynamic handover channel under this module. Set threshold for
this cell in cell Level 1 setting if it needs special controlling threshold.
Threshold RMM module settings is invalid to this cell in this case.

data according to the actual situation for calculating the average value.
The first type of measurement data is more accurate, because it is the
average value of the measurement results of all timeslots. While the
second type of measurement data is not that accurate, because it is
the average value of the measurement results of some timeslots.
Therefore, BSC needs to use different weights for the two types of
measurement data when averaging the measurement values, The
parameter PcUlQualWeight determines the weight for the first type of
measurement data (of all timeslots) when averaging the uplink signal
quality for power control. The weight for the second type of
measurement data (of some timeslots) is set to 1 by default.

measurement value caused by complicated radio transmission and to
reduce the effect of burst measurement value. The parameter
PcDlQualWindow (power control downlink quality average window) is
the size of the window used to calculate average value of downlink
signal quality, the number of samples used in calculating the average
Value range: 1 ~ 32
Default value: 6
8. Reserve Count of Downlink Quality (PcDLQualWeight)
Description: Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) mode, according to the
GSM specifications, refers to a process in which the system does not
transmit signals during the voice intermittent period of the subscriber
conversation. Two types of measurement data will be reported to BSC
when using DTX mode. One is the average value of the measurement
results of all timeslots within a given measurement period in the nonDTX mode, and the other is the average value of the measurement
results of some specific timeslots within a given measurement period in
the DTX mode. BSC needs to select one type of measurement data
according to the actual situation for calculating the average value. The
first type of measurement data is more accurate, because it is the
average value of the measurement results of all timeslots. The second
type is not that accurate, because it is the average of the
measurement results of some timeslots. Therefore, BSC needs to use
different weights for these two types of measurement data when
averaging the measurement values, The parameter PcDlQualWeight
determines the weight for the first type of measurement data (of all
timeslots) when averaging downlink signal quality for power control.
The weight for the second type of measurement data (of some

Other Parameters
1. Minimal Time Interval of RxLev Power Adjust (PcMinInterval)
Description: This parameter specifies minimum interval of power
control. Usually, two survey reports with the original transmission
power will be received after the power control. The signal level
information contained in the reports is not accurate and should be
ignored (other information, such as adjacent cell information, is still
valid). Therefore, a minimum interval of power control should be set.
All the signal level information within this period will be ignored.

GSM1800 cell
7. MS Minimum TxPwr (MsTxPwrMin)
Description: Network controls transmission power used during
communication between MS and BTS, and sets power for MS through
power command, which is sent on SACCH (SACCH has 2 header bytes:
One is power control byte, and the other is timing advance byte). MS
must obtain power control header from downlink SACCH, and take
specified transmission power as its output power. MS outputs at
closest transmission power available if power level of MS is not enough
for specified output power. During BSC power control, this parameter
determines minimal transmission power (that is, lower limit of power
control) available for MS in the cell.

5. Sampling Count of Downlink Intensity (HoDLLevWindow)
Description: BSC makes handover decisions in GSM system according
to the measurement data. BSC uses a series of average values instead
of the original values of the measurement data when making handover
decisions, to avoid the negative impact of burst measurement values
caused
by
complicated
radio
transmission.
The
parameter
HoDlLevWindow (averaging window of handover downlink intensity) is
the size of the window used to calculate the average value of the
downlink signal intensity, the number of the samples used in
calculating the average.
Value range: 1 ~ 31
Default value: 2
6. Reserve Count of Downlink Intensity (HoDLLevReserved)
Description: BSC makes handover decisions in GSM system according
to the measurement data. In order to avoid the negative impact of
burst measurement values caused by the complicated radio
transmission, BSC uses a series of average values instead of the
original values of the measurement data when making handover
decisions. The parameter Reserve Count of Adjacent Cell is the number
of the average values of the downlink intensity that is transferred in
the Handover Required message.
7. Power of Downlink Intensity (HoDLLevWeight)
Description: Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) mode, according to
GSM specifications, refers to a process in which the system does not
transmit signals during the voice intermittent period of the subscriber
conversation. When using the DTX mode, two types of measurement
data will be reported to BSC. One is the average value of the
measurement results of all timeslots within a measurement period in
the non-DTX mode, and the other is the average value of the
measurement results of some special timeslots within a measurement
period in the DTX mode. BSC needs to select one type of measurement
data according to the actual situation for calculating the average value.
The first type of measurement data is more accurate, because it is the
average value of the measurement results of all timeslots. The second
type is not that accurate, because it is the average value of the
measurement results of some timeslots. Therefore, BSC needs to use
different weights for these two types of measurement data when
averaging the measurement values. The parameter HoDlLevWeight
determines the weight for the first type of measurement data (of all
timeslots) when averaging the downlink signal intensity for handover.
The weight for the second type of measurement data (of some
timeslots) is set to 1 by default.
Value range: 1 ~ 3
Default value: 2

12. Reserve Count of Downlink Quality (HoDLQualReserved)
Description: BSC makes handover decisions in GSM system according
to the measurement data. In order to avoid the negative impact of
burst measurement values caused by the complicated radio
transmission, BSC uses a series of average values instead of the
original values of the measurement data when making handover
decisions. The parameter Reserve Count of Adjacent Cell is the number
of average values of the downlink quality transferred in the Handover
Required message.
13. Power of Downlink Quality (HoDLLevWeight)
Description: Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) mode, according to
GSM specifications, refers to a process in which the system does not
transmit signals during the voice intermittent period of the subscriber
conversation. When using the DTX mode, two types of measurement
data will be reported to BSC. One is the average value of the
measurement results of all timeslots within a given measurement
period in the non-DTX mode, and the other is the average value of the
measurement results of some special timeslots within a given
measurement period in the DTX mode. BSC needs to select one type of
measurement data according to the actual situation for calculating the
average value. The first type of measurement data is more accurate,
because it is the average value of the measurement results of all
timeslots. The second type is not that accurate, because it is the
average value of the measurement results of some timeslots.
Therefore, BSC needs to use different weights for these two types of
measurement data when averaging the measurement values. The
parameter HoDlQualWeight determines the weight for the first type of
measurement data (of all timeslots) when averaging the downlink
signal quality for handover. The weight for the second type of
measurement data (of some timeslots) is set to 1 by default.
Value range: 1 ~ 3
Default value: 2
14. Sampling Count of Adjacent Cell (NCellWindow)
Description: BSC makes handover decisions in GSM system according
to the measurement data. In order to avoid the negative impact of
burst measurement values caused by the complicated radio
transmission, BSC uses a series of average values instead of the
original values of the measurement data when making handover
decisions. The parameter NCellWindow (adjacent cell average window)
is the size of the window used to calculate the average value of the
signal intensity of adjacent cells, that is, the number of samples used
in calculating the average.

11. N value of Macro-Micro Handover
Description: Some parameters are necessary for macro-micro
handover. There is a signal intensity threshold and a counter value. N
value of the macro-micro handover (MacroMicroHoN) is a counter value
that is related to a given adjacent micro cell. The call can be handed
over to this adjacent micro cell when the measured value of the signal
intensity of this adjacent micro cell is consecutively higher than the
MacroMicroHoThs value for MacroMicroHoN times. This enables a
slowly moving MS to enter the micro cell. This parameter describes the
counter value used by local cell as micro cell.
Value range: 1 ~ 255
Note: The setting of the parameter MacroMicroHoN in local micro cell is
subject to the size of local cell and standard used to measure the
moving speed of MS.
Default value: 2
12. P value and N value of Distance Handover
Description: Handover decision, according to GSM specifications,
depends on a series of average values. The distance between MS and
BTS is also one reason for handover. Make the handover decision
according to: When P of the closest N average values of the timing
advance (P and N stand for the number of the average values) are
higher than related threshold, carry out the handover to make MS stay
inside the service range of the cell. The parameter DistanceN defines
167
the relevant N value, and the parameter DistanceP defines the relevant
P value.

Adjacent cells at the upper layer of local cell have the highest
priority for call handover, then adjacent cells at the same layer, and
finally other adjacent cells;
Adjacent cells at the same layer of local cell have the highest
priority for call handover, then adjacent cells at the upper layer, and
finally other adjacent cells;
This parameter determines which one of the above three options will
be selected. When carrying out the handover control related to
level/quality during the service process, this parameter has a higher
priority than adjacent cell.
Value range: 1 (UPPER_LAYER): Adjacent cells at upper layer have
highest priority, then those at the same layer, and finally other
adjacent cells; 2 (SAME_LAYER): Adjacent cells at same layer have
highest priority, then those at the upper layer, and finally other
adjacent cells; 3 (ALL_LAYER): All adjacent cells have same priority.
Note: Generally option 1 is adopted for the micro cell. That is, when it
is necessary to hand over the call in the micro cell because of signal
quality or intensity problems, the macro cell layer has the highest
priority for the call handover. While for the macro cell, option 2 is
generally adopted. That is, when it is necessary to hand over a call in
the macro cell because of signal quality or intensity problems, other
macro cells have the highest priority.
3. Hierarchy that can apply standard PBGT HO (PbgtHoLayer)
Description: Some restrictions or controls are necessary for the
standard PBGT handover in multi-layer and dual-band network
applications. The parameter PbgtHoLayer is just used to control the
applications of the PBGT handover.

5. Level of Minimal RxLev (RxLevMin)
Description: Minimum receiving strength level (on BCCH channel)
needed to hand over MS to local cell. This is one of the parameters to
distinguish the priority cell during a handover control process. MS in
the cell monitors constantly the intensity on the BCCH channel of
adjacent cells. But only adjacent cells with receiving strength higher
than RxLevMin can be potential candidates for the handover. Handover
may occur when RxLevMin of MS required by adjacent cells is lower
than RxLevMin of MS required by local cell. This indicates that MS is at
the edge of the cell.

indicate that it is interfered greatly in this position and it cannot find a
suitable channel. It is better to forbid it to perform handover in some
time. Judging method: Handover occurs during timer TmaxIHo. Former
handover has no effect on interference. Add 1 to timer HoCount and
restart TmaxIHo at the same time. Former handover is valid if it

Select users with small path loss and small TA as transferred users.
Transfer them when their path loss is smaller than the threshold
MaxLossThs and TA is smaller than the threshold MaxTAThs. This
arithmetic applies to dual-frequency networking, cells of 900 M and
1800 M use same site.
Judge only on path loss when MaxTAThs is 63 and judge only on TA
when MaxLossThs is 150.
Adopt N or P mode to judge in actual situations, that is, handover
conditions are met if HoForceP meets HoForceN measurement reports.
Path loss L=BS_TXPWR - AV_RXLEV_DL
BS_TXPWR is transmission power of CA where occupation time slot
locates. It depends on CA maximum transmission power, static
attenuation power and power control. AV_RXLEV_DL is downlink
receiving level.

reduce the handover times during a call, and meanwhile enhances the
system reliability and communication quality. 2) The strategies for
macro-micro handover depends on the moving speed of the MS. The
MS moving with high speed tries to enter the macro cell (the upper
layer of the micro cell layer), while the MS moving with slow speed
tries to enter the micro cell layer (the lower layer of the macro cell
layer). 3) The undefined cell of the service cell can be considered as
the candidate cell only in non-PBGT handover and emergencies.
Value range: This parameter can be considered as a data array, each
element of which is used to determine the hierarchical relationship
between the relevant adjacent cells and local cell. The parameter
NCellNum determines the number of cells in the array. See Table 175
