Cell Parameters

• TALIM Timing advance threshold for excessive TA

urgancy
• MAXTA Timing advance threshold for call disconnection
caused by excessive TA
• XRANGE Switch defining a cell as extended range

 Combined Normal and Extended Range

It is possible to configure

• OL subcell as normal range

• UL subcell as extended range

The usual OL subcell functionality is still available

However TA urgency HO & disconnect in OL is permanently set to 62 & 63

bit periods respectively (and not by TALIM & MAXTA)
