Foreword
Once the MS is power on and there is a live network exist, the MS will be in
either idle mode or dedicated mode.
In idle mode, the MS has no dedicated connection with network, but it is
still controlled by the many parameters and functions in the system.
The MS behaviors in idle mode include:
System information reception
Cell selection and reselection
Location update
Paging processing
Access processing.
There are also some other parameters to be introduced which is related
with the future processing of network access.

System Information Reception
By reading system information, MS can access the network, perform cell
selection and reselection, fully utilize various services provided by the
network, and achieve favorable cooperation with the network.
System information (SYS INFO) contains network parameters sent to MS
through Um interface
network identity parameters
cell selection parameters
system control parameters
network function parameters
System information can be sent through two kinds of logical channels
System information on BCCH
System information on SACCH

SYS INFO 2
SYS INFO 2
It contains access control information (RACH), network color code permitted
(NCC Permitted), and neighbor cell frequency allocation list (BA1 list). It is
transmitted on BCCH. Generally speaking, SYS INFO 2, 2BIS, 2TER contains
different parts of the neighbor cells BCCH frequencies. Via reading and
decoding BA1 list, MS can perform cell reselection in idle mode. For a MS of
GSM900 PHASE I, it only reads the neighbor cell BCCH frequencies defined in
SYS INFO 2, and ignores those carried by 2BIS and 2TER.

SYS INFO 2BIS
SYS INFO 2BIS
2BIS contains RACH control data and neighbor cells BCCH

As the number of frequencies in BA1 list carried by SYS INFO 2 is
limited, SYS INFO 2BIS carries the rest of the BCCH frequencies in
the BA1 list that are from the same band as in SYS INFO 2.

SYS INFO 2TER
2TER contains neighbor BCCH frequencies (part of BA1 list). It is
transmitted on BCCH. Only dual band MS can read this information,
and single band 900 or 1800 MS will ignore it. Since this information
carries BCCH frequencies that belong to different band other than
those in SYS INFO 2, it is unnecessary for single band MS to read.

SYS INFO 5
SYS INFO 5
It describes the neighbor cell BCCH frequencies(BA2 list). It is
mandatory and is transmitted on SACCH. Different from SYS INFO 2,
MS can read the frequency described in SYS INFO 5 in dedicated
mode, report the relevant information of neighbor cells in
measurement reports, and use it as the basis for handover. Similarly,
for 900 MS of PHASE 1, it only recognizes the neighbor cell
frequencies described by SYS INFO 5, and ignores those carried by
SYS INFO 5BIS and 5TER.

PLMN Selection Parameter
CGI=MCC+MNC+LAC+CI
Once MS receives SYS INFO, it decodes the CGI information, and
decides whether it can stay in the cell according to the MCC and
MNC indicated by CGI.
At the same time, it judges whether the current location area is
changed, so as to decide whether to execute location update.
During the location update process, MS will report the new LAI to
the network, so that the network can know the LA in which MS is
currently located.

C1 indicates the path loss criterion of cell selection.
C1 of the serving cell must be greater than 0. It is calculated as follows:
C1 = RXLEV - RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN - MAX((MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH - P), 0)
In the case of a DCS1800 class 3 MS, C1 is calculated as follows:
C1 = RXLEV - RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN - MAX((MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH +
POWER_OFFSET - P), 0)
Page21
RXLEV indicates the average receive level of the MS
RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN indicates the minimum receive level required for the MS to access
the network.
MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH indicates the maximum transmit power allowed for the MS to
access the network.
POWER_OFFSET indicates PWRDIV of the MS.
P indicates the maximum output power of the MS.

Cell Reselection
Under certain condition, MS will select a neighbor cell as its
new serving cell, this procedure is called cell reselection.
The possible neighbor cells information in idle mode are held
in BA1 table, which will be broadcasted to MS via BCCH.
Those for dedicated mode ones are held in BA2 table, which
will be broadcasted to MS via SACCH.

Normal Cell Reselection
When there is no abnormal situation happened, MS will trigger
normal cell reselection as described below:
Cell reselection for cells in the same location area
If the C2 value of the target cell is higher than that of the serving cell for
longer than 5 seconds, a cell reselection process will be performed and
the MS tunes to the new cell.
Cell reselection for cells in different location areas
If the C2 value of the target cell is higher than that of the serving cell by
at least the value of CRH for longer than 5 seconds, a location update
process and the cell reselection process will be performed.

ATT (Attach-detach Allowed)
Parameter ID: ATT
Value Range: Yes, No
Default ValueYes
Description: It is Attach-detach allowed. It is used to inform MS
whether IMSI attach-detach is allowed in this cell. If it is set to
Yes, the network will not process the connection to the called
mobile subscriber when MS is power-off. Thus network processing
time and radio resources are saved. Otherwise the network will
process the connection even though the MS has been powered off.

Overview of Network Access
Network access is a relay procedure for MS from idle mode to
dedicated mode.
Normal reasons of network access include:
Originated call setup
Paging response
Location update
SMS
Network access of MS will be controlled by system with the
help of some parameters which will be introduced detailed
later.

CS RACH Min. Access Level
Parameter ID: RACHACCLEV
Value Range: -121~-104

Description: The parameter affects the access of MS. This parameter
specifies the level threshold for the random access of the MS. If the
receive level of the RACH burst in the CS domain is smaller than the
value of CS RACH Min.Access Level, the BTS regards this access as an
invalid one and no decoding is performed. If the receive level of the
RACH burst is greater than the value of CS RACH Min. Access Level, the
BTS considers that an access request exists on this timeslot, and
determines together with the value of "Random Access Error Threshold"
whether the RACH access is valid.

Definition of Classmark
In GSM system, the abilities that MS supports, such as service ability,
band ability, power ability, encryption ability, is described by the classmark.
BSC decodes the information according to the requirement of network and
transfer to the network.
There are 3 kinds of classmark:Classmark1Classmark2Classmark3.
Network knows about abilities of MS either via inquiring for MSs
CLASSMARK or via requiring MS to report CLASSMARK3 immediately by
itself after link setup.

update flow.

update flow, MS will report Classmark

SACCH Multi-Frames
Parameter ID: SAMULFRM
Value Range: 0~63
Unit: SACCH period (480ms)
Default Value: 32
Description: It is a timer used to determine whether the uplink radio link
connection fails. BSS judges the uplink radio link failure according to uplink
SACCH BER.
Every time BTS fails to decode the MR sent from MS, this timer decreases by 1;
Every time BTS succeeds to decode the MR, this timer increases by 2.
When this timer reaches 0, BTS judges that the uplink radio connection fails, then BTS
sends a radio connection failure message to BSC.
This parameter and the radio link timeout (RLT) are used to judge the uplink/downlink radio
connection failure.

T200
Parameter ID: T200
Value Range: 60~2400 (step: 10)
Unit: ms
Default Value: 12
Description: T200 timer (LAPD protocol) is used to avoid deadlock during data
transfer on the data link layer. The value of the timer indicates the time when the
LAPD link waits for the response or acknowledgement frame after sending the
command frame.
On the LAPDm layer, every time a message is sent, the opposite end is
requested to acknowledge the reception. If this message is lost for unknown
reasons, it will occur that both ends keep waiting, leading to system deadlock.
Therefore, a timer should be started when the sender sends a message. If the
timer times out, the sender will regard that the receiver has not received the
message and will resend the message.

Different timer values should be set for different LAPDm channels such as

Network Identity Parameter BSIC
BSIC=NCC+BCC
In GSM system, each BTS is allocated with a color code, which is
called BSIC. MS can identify two cells with the same BCCH by the
help of BSIC.
In network planning, make sure that BCCH of neighbor cells are
different from the serving cells BCCH to reduce the interference.
Practically it is still possible that a same BCCH is re-used in the
surrounding cells. For cells using the same BCCH in a relevant near
distance, their BSIC must be different so that MS can identify two
neighbor cells with same BCCH.
