Abnormal Release Threshold, the BSC sends the corresponding recovery
alarm.

successful channel activation threshold of a timeslot, an abnormally release
alarm is generated.
If the percentage of abnormally released channel in the total successful
channel activation is less than or equal to this threshold, an abnormal release
clear alarm is sent.

threshold, the no-traffic alarm is generated.

the wireless link prompt alarm is not cleared during the period specified by
WLA Prompting Recover Period.
If the radio link prompt alarm is cleared in the WLA Prompting Recover
Period, the corresponding recovery alarm is sent by the BTS. If the radio
link prompt alarm is not cleared in the WLA Prompting Recover Period, the
critical wireless link alarm is sent or not sent according to the settings of the
parameter Wireless Link Alarm Critical Permit.
The BTS detects the start time of wireless link alarm, such as 08:00:00 and
14:00:00 in each day. Starting from the period specified by this parameter,
the BTS detects the wireless link alarm, and sends an alarm related.
The BTS detects the start time of wireless link alarm, such as 08:00:00 and
14:00:00 in each day. Until the end of the period specified by this
parameter, the BTS stops detecting the wireless link alarm and sending the
alarm related. The detection starts again until the next Begin Time of WLA
Detection(hour).
This parameter specifies the basic difference value caused by the specified
level difference between the uplink channel and the downlink channel.
Together with Up Down Balance Floating Range, this parameter is used to
calculate the number of uplink and downlink unbalance.
Assume that Up Down Balance Basic Difference is set to 8 and Up Down
Balance Alarm Threshold is set to 30. If the downlink level minus the
uplink level after the power control compensation is greater than 8+30 or
less than 8-30, the uplink and the downlink are not balanced; otherwise, the
uplink and downlink are balanced.
This parameter specifies the permissible uplink and downlink balance
floating range relative to Up Down Balance Basic Difference. The uplink
and downlink is not balanced only when the uplink and downlink level
exceeds the Up Down Balance Floating Range.
Assume that Up Down Balance Basic Difference is set to 8 and Up Down
Balance Alarm Threshold is set to 30. If the downlink level minus the
uplink level after the power control compensation is greater than 8+30 or
less than 8-30, the uplink and the downlink are not balanced; otherwise, the
uplink and downlink are balanced.
When the percentage of the uplink-and-downlink balance measurement
reports in the total valid measurement reports is greater than or equal to the
value of this parameter, the uplink and downlink unbalance alarm is
generated.
This parameter specifies the RF receive mode of the DTRU.
The RF receive mode can be Not Support, Independent Receiver, Dividing
Receiver, Four Diversity Receiver, or Main Diversity.

This parameter specifies the following: When the antenna hopping function
is used, the signals of one TRX can switch between different antennas
instead of one TRX corresponding to one antenna. Therefore, the signals on
certain frequencies are less affected by Rayleigh fading compared with
those without antenna hopping. The Antenna Hopping Index corresponds to
a TRX number.
This parameter specifies the following: Currently, when the BSC performs
the static power control on the TRX, the step of increasing or reducing the
power of the TRX is 2 dB. In some scenarios, the TRX has different losses
if it is combined on different tributaries, and the output power difference
before and after the combination is not an integral multiple of 2 dB. Thus,
the cabinet top output power of the BTS cannot be adjusted in the step of 2
dB, so the TRX output power may be different from the cabinet top output
power of the BTS.
Therefore, through the setting of this parameter, a finer step can be
provided for adjusting the cabinet top output power of the BTS.
This parameter specifies whether the TRX supports antenna hopping.
In a GSM cell, the frequency, frame number, system information, and
paging group are transmitted on the BCCH of the main BCCH TRX. If the
MS is in an unfavorable position or the antenna for the main BCCH TRX is
faulty, then the MS cannot receive the broadcast control messages from the
main BCCH TRX properly.
The antenna hopping function enables the data on all the timeslots of the
BCCH TRX to be transmitted on the antennas of all the TRXs in the cell in
turn. Thus the quality of the BCCH TRX data received by the MS is
improved and the network performance is enhanced. Only the double-
transceiver BTS can be configured with the antenna hopping function.
This parameter specifies the number of the out-BSC slot where the BSC
interface board is located when the BTS works in reverse link mode. That

performed in the cell by comparing the TA and the value of this parameter.
This parameter specifies the encryption algorithm supported on the BSS
side.
The value of this parameter has eight bits. The eights bits (from the least
significant bit to the most significant bit) specify whether to support the
A5/0, A5/1, A5/2, A5/3, A5/4, A5/5, A5/6, and A5/7 encryption algorithms
respectively. If a bit is set to 1, you can infer that the BSS supports the
corresponding encryption algorithm. If a bit is 0, you can infer that the BSS
does not support the corresponding encryption algorithm.
The eights bits cannot be all zeros and the least significant bit must be 1.
This parameter specifies whether the adjustment of the BTS power is
allowed..
This parameter specifies whether the adjustment of the MS power is
allowed.
This parameter specifies whether to allow directed retry. In directed retry, a
handover procedure is performed to hand over the MS to a neighbor cell.
Directed retry is an emergency measure for abnormal peak traffic in the
local wireless network. It is not a primary method of clearing traffic
congestion. If directed retry is preformed frequently in a local network, you
must adjust the TRX configuration of the BTS and the network layout.

when receiving an initial access request. If this parameter is set to No, the
BSC can assign only an SDCCH when receiving an initial access request.

BSS. For details. see GSM Rec. 05.08.
dBm to -47 dBm).
This parameter specifies whether to allow call reestablishment. Blind spots
caused by tall buildings or burst interference may lead to failure in radio
links. Thus a call may drop. In this case, the MS can initiate a call
reestablishment procedure to resume the call. The number of call drops is
not incremented if the call reestablishment is successful or if the subscriber
hooks on.
This parameter specifies: for the channel assignment, suppose the MS
supports multiple sub frequency bands of the 900 MHz frequency band. The
BSC ignores the priority of P-GSM/E-GSM/R-GSM sub frequency bands if
the cell load is smaller than and equal to this threshold. The BSC assigns
channels on the TRXs with priority of R-GSM, E-GSM, P-GSM frequency
bands if the cell load is greater than this threshold. That is, the BSC
preferentially assigns channels on the R-GSM TRXs if the MS supports P-
GSM/E-GSM/R-GSM sub frequency bands and the cell is configured with
TRXs operating on the P-GSM/E-GSM/R-GSM sub frequency bands.
This parameter determines when the channel is assigned on the QTRU:

power sharing algorithm, and when the remaining power of QTRU board is
less than the call required power of cell,

criterion.
This parameter specifies the following definitions:
1. The QTRU power sharing algorithm is disabled.
2. Static power sharing algorithm.
3. Dynamic power sharing algorithm.
The difference between static power sharing algorithm and dynamic power
sharing algorithm is that the dynamic power sharing algorithm uses the
MCPA power sharing technology, the static power specification is different
from dynamic power specification. When there are several carriers, the
maximum output power of single carrier in dynamic power specification is
greater.
In the network swapping, the static/dynamic power on the top of cabinet
needs to compare with the competitor power on the top of cabinet. If the
static power on the top of cabinet competitor power on the top of cabinet,
the static power sharing algorithm is used; if the dynamic power on the top
of cabinet competitor power on the top of cabinet static power on the
top of cabinet, the dynamic power sharing algorithm is used.
If the uplink received level difference of calls in the same timeslot exceeds
the Threshold of the difference between uplink received levels, the situation
must be recorded. During the observation of P seconds, if this situation lasts
N seconds, the call with the lowest uplink signal strength in the timeslot
should be handed over to another timeslot.
If the uplink received level difference of calls in the same timeslot exceeds
the Threshold of the difference between uplink received levels, the situation
must be recorded. During the observation of P seconds, if this situation lasts
N seconds, the call with the lowest uplink signal strength in the timeslot
should be handed over to another timeslot.
The value is 0-1 in fact; however, the data in the host and BSC should be
simultaneously multiplied by 10 times to prevent the floating-point values.
This parameter specifies the QTRU signal merge algorithm, that is, the BSC
monitors the high-level signal and overwhelms the low-level signal per 0.5
second.
If the highest uplink signal strength of a timeslot the lowest uplink signal
strength of this timeslot > Threshold of the difference between uplink
received levels, the situation must be recorded.
During the observation of P seconds, if this situation lasts N seconds, a
forced handover is initiated on the calls with the highest uplink signal
strength in the timeslot, and the calls should be handed over to another
timeslot.
P specifies the Observed time of uplink received level difference, and N
specifies the Duration of uplink received level difference.
This parameter specifies whether the BSC is allowed to assign the half-rate
channels and full-rate channels to the MS according to the channel seizure
ratio of the underlaid subcell and overlaid subcell.
The BSC assigns channels in the overlaid subcell to the MS in a concentric
cell. If the channel seizure ratio of overlaid subcell is greater than the value
of this parameter, half-rate channels are assigned. Otherwise, full-rate
channels are assigned.
Channel seizure ratio = (Num. of busy TCHF + Num. of busy TCHH/2)/
(Num. of available TCHF + Num. of available TCHH /2) x 100%. This
parameter is valid for the concentric cell. When the Allow Rate Selection
Based on Overlaid/Underlaid Subcell Load is set to Yes, the TCH Traffic
Busy Threshold (%) is invalid for the concentric cell.
The BSC assigns channels in the overlaid subcell to the MS in a concentric
cell. If the channel seizure ratio of overlaid subcell is greater than the value
of this parameter, half-rate channels are assigned. Otherwise, full-rate
channels are assigned.
Channel seizure ratio = (Num. of busy TCHF + Num. of busy TCHH/2)/
(Num. of available TCHF + Num. of available TCHH /2) x 100%.
This parameter is valid for the concentric cell. When the Allow Rate
Selection Based on Overlaid/Underlaid Subcell Load is set to Yes, the TCH
Traffic Busy Threshold (%) is invalid for the concentric cell.
This parameter specifies whether the dynamic HSN is permitted to be used.
When the frequency hopping function and the FlexMAIO function are
enabled in a cell, this parameter is set to YES. Thus, the inter-frequency
interference among channels can be reduced.
Only when the FlexMAIO is set to YES, this parameter can be configured.
This parameter specifies whether to enable Flex MAIO.
In tight frequency resuse, the adjacent-channel interference and co-channel
interference among channels occur.
When the frequency hopping function and the FlexMAIO function are
enabled in a cell, the inter-frequency interference among channels can be
reduced partially.
In the case of aggressive frequency reuse, the recommended value is set to
Yes.
This parameter specifies the static Abis resource load threshold. When the
static Abis resource load is lower than Fix Abis Prior Choose Abis Load
Thred(%), the full-rate channel is preferentially assigned. Otherwise, the full-
rate or half-rate channel is preferred according to the dynamic Abis resource
load.
When the static Abis resource load is higher than Fix Abis Prior Choose
Abis Load Thred(%) and the dynamic Abis resource load is higher than
Flex Abis Prior Choose Abis Load Thred(%), the half-rate channel is
preferred. Otherwise, the full-rate channel is preferred.
This parameter specifies when the BSC fails to convert the dynamic PDCH

by this parameter. The parameter is valid for both built-in PCH and external
PCU.

are required in the following conditions: Half rate and full rate channels are
allowed to be assigned by the MSC, the AMR TCH/H Prior Allowed is set
to Yes, and the percentage of seized TCHs in the cell is greater than the
value of AMR TCH/H Prior Cell Load Threshold. In other cases, the TCHF
or TCCH, TCHF Prior channels are required.

This parameter specifies whether the TCH/H is preferentially assigned on
the basis of the channel type and current service channel seizure ratio that
are allowed by the MSC.
During the channel assignment, the TCHF or TCCH, TCHH Prior channels
are required in the following conditions: Half rate and full rate channels are
allowed to be assigned by the MSC, the AMR TCH/H Prior Allowed is set
to Yes, and the percentage of seized TCHs in the cell is greater than the
value of AMR TCH/H Prior Cell Load Threshold. In other cases, the TCHF
or TCCH, TCHF Prior channels are required.
The updating of the history record starts when the Update Period of CH
Record times out. Update Freq of CH Record is subtracted from the history
priority of each channel to improve the priority of the channel.
Principles of taking values are as follows:
Generally, set this parameter to 2.
If a fixed interference source exists or an equipment fault occurs, the
update frequency for the affected cells can be set to 4 or 6.
The Update Period of CH Record is used together with Update Freq of CH
Record, In this way, the channel can be assigned even if the channel priority
is continuously lowered within a period of time.
When the Update Period of CH Record expires, the process of updating the
history record of channel occupancy is started. That is, the history priority
of each channel is reduced by Update Freq.of CH Record at the interval of
the setting value of this parameter to increase the channel priority.
Generally, a high-frequency adjustment is used. For example, the update
period should be set in such a way that it ranges from half an hour to one
hour because several busy hours are the major concerns during the actual
operation in a day. If the parameter is set to a too small value, the result of
the history record is meaningless. If the parameter is set to a too great value,
the result cannot be seen in time during busy hours.
If a fixed interference source exists or an equipment fault occurs, the
update period for the affected cells can be set in such a way that it ranges
from several hours to one day.
This parameter is used together with Update Freq. of CH Record so that the
channel can be assigned even if the history record priority decreases.
This parameter specifies the number of measurement reports that are used to
determine the signal quality on signaling channels.

successive measurement reports of signaling channels, and then determine
the signal quality on signaling channels.

dBm.
uplink interference is existed.
The higher the level, the greater the signal is. The greater the value, the
lower the quality is.

UL level Threshold and the quality grade of the uplink channel is greater or
equal to the value Interf of UL Qual Threshold. The uplink interference
occurs.
uplink interference is existed.
The higher the level, the greater the signal is. The greater the value, the
lower the quality is.
If the uplink channel level is greater than or equal to the value of Interf of
UL level Threshold and the quality grade of the uplink channel is greater or
equal to the value Interf of UL Qual Threshold.this indicates the signal is
good, but the quality is poor, that is, the uplink interference occurs.
The value range of Rank 0-63 corresponds to the range of -110 dBm to -47
dBm.
This parameter specifies whether the history record priority is considered in
channel assignment.
If this parameter is set to YES, the history record priority is effective. If this
parameter is set to NO, the history record priority is ineffective.
Usually this parameter is set to YES to select the channel with a high
history record priority preferentially.
This parameter specifies whether the TRX priority is considered during

during channel assignment.
By default, this parameter is set to YES to select the channel with little
interference.

This parameter sets the priority of different types in channel allocation.
These types include:
Capacity with a higher priority
Quality with a higher priority
PS coordination with a relatively higher priority
PS coordination with an absolutely higher priority
The priority of different types is as follows:
Priority by capacity: capacity factors > quality factors > PS cooperation
factors > management factors
Priority by quality: quality factors > capacity factors > PS cooperation
factors > management factors
Relative priority by PS domain: capacity factors > PS cooperation factors >
quality factors > management factors
Absolute priority by PS domain: PS cooperation factors > capacity factors
> quality factors > management factors
This parameter specifies whether the combination of two half-rate TCHs
into one full-rate TCH is allowed in a cell.
If this parameter is set to No, the forced handover and call delay caused by
timeslot arrangement can be avoided, but there may cause some TCHF-only
calls to fail because the timeslot arrangement is unavailable.
If this parameter is set to Yes, calls may fail when the timeslot arrangement
fails and when the MS does not select the TCHF in the concentric cell.
This parameter specifies the minimum time for the recovery of a TCH from
an SDCCH.
The processing for the SDCCH recovered to the TCH is as follows: each
cell is configured with a counter. Each time the TCH is converted to the
SDCCH, the counter is set to ResTime. The value of the counter is adjusted
every three seconds. If the number of idle SDCCHs > 8 + N1, the counter
descreases by 3; if the number of idle SDCCHs < 8 + Idle SDCCH
Threshold N1, the counter increases by 12 within the setting value; if the
number of idle SDCCHs = 8 + N1, the counter remains unchanged. If the
value of the counter is equal to or lower than 0 after adjustment, the
SDCCH is converted to the TCH.
When the BSC determines whether to initiate the conversion from the TCH
to the SDCCH, it needs to determine whether the number of SDCCHs after
the conversion exceeds the Cell SDCCH Channel Maximum. If the number
of SDCCHs exceeds the value of this parameter, the BSC does not initiate
the conversion.
If the number of idle SDCCHs in the cell is smaller than or equal to the
value of this parameter, the BSC tries to find a TCHF that can be converted
to the SDCCH.
This parameter specifies one of the conditions for converting the TCHF to
the SDCCH.

conversion from TCHFs to SDCCHs are as follows:
1.The cell allows the SDCCH dynamic adjustment.
2.(Number of idle TCHFs + number of idle TCHHs/2) 4 or the number of
TRXs in the cell, and the cell must have at least one idle TCHF.
3.The sum of the number of SDCCHs in the cell plus eight is smaller than
the maximum number of SDCCHs allowed in the cell.
This parameter specifies the coding rate adopted on a half-rate channel
when a call is initially established. Since there are at most four coding rates
in the ACS, this field have four values 0, 1, 2, and 3, representing the
lowest, low, high, and highest coding rates in the ACS respectively.
Based on the RQI in the call measurement report, the BTS and MS
automatically adjust the current speech coding rate according to the related
algorithm. The coding rate adjustment threshold is the threshold of RQI.
The RQI indicates the carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR) of the call. If RQI
equals 1, the CIR is 0.5 dB; if RQI equals 2, the CIR is 1 dB; and so forth.
Since there are multiple coding rates in the ACS, there is an adjustment
threshold and an adjustment hysteresis between the neighboring coding

(ACS) is a set of coding rates currently available for calls. Use a BIT map to
present the speech coding rates contained in the ACS, wherein a BIT
corresponds to a coding rate. If a bit is 1, the coding rate is included in the
ACS. Otherwise, the ACS does not include the coding rate. The value of
this parameter has five bits.

corresponds to a coding rate. If a bit is 1, the coding rate is included in the
ACS. Otherwise, the ACS does not include the coding rate. The value of
this parameter has eight bits.
This parameter specifies the maximum number of reassignments after the
assignment on the Um interface fails.
In normal assignment procedure, after receiving the assignment failure
message from the MS on the SDCCH, the BSC does not report the message
to the MSC immediately. Instead, the BSC re-assigns radio channels and re-
originates the assignment on the Um interface. Thus the success rate of
assignment can be increased.
Reassigning radio channels can be performed in the carriers with the same
frequency band or of different frequency bands.
If this parameter is set to Same Band, the frequency band of the
preferentially reassigned channel is the same as what is used before the
reassignment.
If the parameter is set to Different Band, the frequency band of the
preferentially reassigned channel is different from what is used before the
reassignment.
You can set this parameter to improve the deterioration of QoS caused by
the interference, carrier channel fault, or engineering fault.
This parameter specifies whether to disable the sending of point-to-point
short messages. In specific cells, sending point-to-point short messages on
the downlink is disabled to ensure sufficient radio channels for calls.

same time to accelerate the signaling processing rate, thus improving the
response speed of the network.
This parameter specifies whether to enable the Abis resource adjustment
TCHH function.
This parameter determines whether the BSC preferentially assigns a half-
rate TCH to an MS when the Abis resources are insufficient.
When this parameter is set to Yes, the BSC preferentially assigns a half-rate
TCH to the MS if the Abis resource load is higher than Flex Abis Prior
Choose Abis Load Thred(%) or than Fix Abis Prior Choose Abis Load
Thred(%).
This parameter specifies whether to allow the enhanced multi-level
precedence and preemption (eMLPP) function. In eMLPP, the network can
use different policies such as queuing, preemption, and directed retry based
on the priorities of different calls when network resources are occupied.
If the Allow EMLPP is set to Yes, when preemption occurs, the MS with
the lowest priority performs handover, and the MS with higher priority
seizes the idle channel after handover. If the Allow EMLPP is set to No, a
certain MS with lower priority releases the channel, the MS with higher
priority seizes the idle channel after release.
This parameter specifies whether to allow the reassignment function.

In connection mode, if the signal level in the serving cell is below [0, 7] or
above [8, 15], the MS starts to search for 3G cells.
For example:

This parameter indicates that when the MS reports the EMR, it adds the
value of this parameter to the received signal level, and then converts the
result into the RXLEV value. For details, see GSM Rec. 05.08.
If the SCALE_Order reported by the MS is 10 dBm, level values 0-63 map
with -100 dBm to -37 dBm.
If the SCALE_Order reported by the MS is 0 dBm, level values 0-63 map
with -110 dBm to -47 dBm.
If the SCALE_Order reported by the MS is Automatic, the MS chooses the
least SCALE while ensuring that the MS can report the most strong level.
This parameter specifies whether the EMR can contain the information
about a cell with an invalid BSIC.
This parameter specifies whether the MS is allowed to search for a 3G cell
when the BSIC must be decoded.

If the system information indicates "MBR", the MS reports the number of
neighbor cells on different frequency bands.
When the MS reports the number of neighbor cells on the same frequency
band with the serving cell, a maximum of the value of Serving Band
Reporting can be reported.
These neighbor cells must meet the following requirements:
1. The receive levels of the neighbor cells must be higher than 900
Reporting Threshold or 1800 Reporting Threshold.
2. The BSIC of a neighbor cell must be valid.
3. The signals of the neighbor cells must be the strongest among all the
neighbor cells on the same frequency band.
When Power Deviation Indication is set to Yes, the transmit power of an
MS is the MS maximum transmit power level plus the power calculated
from the power deviation if the class 3 MS on the DCS1800 band does not
receive the original power command after random access. For details, see
GSM Rec. 05.08.
The MS does not receive the original power command after random access.
This parameter indicates whether the power deviation is added to the class 3
MS on the DCS1800 band on the basis of the maximum MS transmit power.
This parameter is used for the MS to report neighbor cell explanation of
multiple bands. It is sent in the system information 2ter and 5ter.
The early classmark sending control (ECSC) specifies whether the MSs in a
cell use early classmark sending. For details, see GSM Rec. 04.08.After a
successful immediate assignment, the MS sends additional classmark
information to the network as early as possible. The CM3 (classmark 3)
information contains the power information of each band of multi-band
MSs. In the inter-band handover, power class must be correctly described.
When paging is made or the BA2 table is sent between different bands, the
CM3 message must be known. For dual-band MSs, if ECSC is set to No, the
MSC sends a CLASSMARK REQUEST message after the MS reports an
EST IND message. The MS then reports the CLASSMARK UPDATE
message. The connection time of the MS is affected.
This parameter specifies when an MS disconnects a call if the MS
unsuccessfully decodes the SACCH message. For details of this parameter,
see GSM Rec. 0408 and 05.08.
Once a dedicated channel is assigned to the MS, the counter S is enabled
and the initial value is set to this parameter value.
Each time an SACCH message is not decoded, the counter S decreases by 1.
Each time an SACCH message is correctly decoded, the counter S increases
by 2.When the counter S is equal to 0, the downlink radio link is considered
as failed.Therefore, when the voice or data quality is degraded to an
unacceptable situation and it cannot be improved through power control or
channel handover, the connection is to be re-established or released.
This parameter specifies whether to allow emergency calls. For MSs whose
access class is from 0 to 9, if this parameter is set to No, emergency calls
are allowed.
For MSs whose access class is from 11 to 15, emergency calls are not
allowed only when the access control bit is set to 0 and Emergent Call
Disable is set to Yes.
This parameter specifies whether to allow the MSs of special access classes
to access the network. This parameter is used for load control. Value 1
indicates that access is not allowed. Value 0 indicates that access is allowed.
For example, 000001 indicates that users of all classes except class 10 are
allowed to access the network. In the cell where the traffic volume is heavy,
congestion may occur in busy hours. For example, more RACH burst
occurs, the AGCH flow is overloaded, or the Abis interface flow is
overloaded.If this parameter is set to 1 for the MSs of some classes, the
traffic volume in this cell may be reduced.
This parameter specifies whether to allow the MSs of common access
classes to access the network. This parameter is used for load control.
Value 1 indicates that access is not allowed. Value 0 indicates that access is
allowed.For example, 0000000001 indicates that the MSs of all classes
except class 0 are allowed to access the network.
During the BTS installation, activation, or cell maintenance test, this
parameter can be set to 1. All MSs are not allowed to access the network,
thus reducing the impact on installation or maintenance.
In the cell where the traffic volume is heavy, congestion may occur in busy
hours. For example, more RACH burst occurs, the AGCH is overloaded, or
the Abis interface is overloaded.If this parameter is set to 1 for the MSs of
some classes, the traffic volume in this cell may be reduced.
This parameter specifies the maximum number of Channel Request
messages that can be sent by an MS in an immediate assignment procedure.
After the MS initiates the immediate assignment procedure, it always listens
to the messages on the BCCH and all the common control channels
(CCCHs) in the CCCH group to which the MS belongs.If the MS does not
receive Immediate Assignment messages or Immediate Assignment Extend
messages, the MS re-sends Channel Request messages at a specified
interval.
This parameter specifies the maximum number of retransmissions of the
immediate assignment message. When this number is reached, the
immediate assignment message is not retransmitted even if the Max Delay
of Imm_Ass Retransmit (ms) is not exceeded.
Within the period specified by this parameter, the immediate assignment
message is dispatched and retransmitted. Otherwise, the message is not
dispatched or retransmitted.
This parameter specifies whether the BSC sends the immediate assignment
retransmission parameter to the BTS.
Error control is performed on the I frame sent over the LAPDm layer
between the BTS and MS. If the MS detects errors in an I frame, the BTS
should resend the I frame.This parameter indicates the maximum
retransmission times of frame I on the FACCH (a full-rate channel).
For the function of N200 and the effect of the parameter, see the
descriptions of the T200 SDCCH (5 ms) parameter.

T200 prevents the data link layer from deadlock during data transmission.
The data link layer transforms the physical link that is vulnerable to errors
into a sequential non-error data link. The entities at the two ends of this data
link use the acknowledgement retransmission mechanism.
Each message must be confirmed by the peer end.In unknown cases, both
ends are waiting if a message is lost. At this time, the deadlock of the system
occurs.Therefore, the transmit end must establish a timer. When the timer
expires, the transmit end regards that the receive end does not receive the
message and then the transmit end retransmits the message.The number of
retransmissions is determined by N200.T200 and the N200 ensure that the
data link layer sequentially transmits data and that the transmission is free
from errors.
For the BTS3X in 03.0529 or later and the double-transceiver BTSs, this
parameter specifies the level threshold for the random access of the MS. If
the receive level of the RACH burst is smaller than the value of 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 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.
Generally, RACH Busy Threshold is higher than RACH Min.Access Level.
Therefore, for the BTS24, RACH Min.Access Level is shielded. For the
BTS2X (excluding the BTS24), the RACH Min.Access Level parameter is
invalid.
This parameter specifies the correlation between training sequences.
According the GSM protocols, the system determines whether the received
signal is the random access signal of an MS through the correlation between
training sequences (41 bits) and calculates the TA value.
This parameter specifies the following rules for TRX aiding function
control:
TRX Aiding Not Allowed: The TRX aiding function is disabled.
Allowed & Recover Forbidden: The TRX aiding is allowed but the
switchback is forbidden after the faulty TRX is restored.
Allowed & Recover Immediately: The TRX aiding is enabled but the
switchback is performed immediately after the faulty TRX is restored.
Allowed & Recover When Check Res: The TRX aiding is enabled and the
switchback is not immediately performed after the faulty TRX is restored.
Instead, the switchback is performed during the resource check in the early
morning, usually 2 o'clock.
This parameter specifies the speech version supported by the BSC. The
value of this parameter has six bits.
The six bits (from the most significant bit to the least significant bit)
indicate the following speech versions respectively:
half-rate version 3, half-rate version 2, half-rate version 1, full-rate version
3, full-rate version 2, and full-rate version 1. Here, versions 3, 2, and 1
indicate AMR, EFR, and FR respectively.
If a bit is 1, you can infer that the BSC supports the corresponding speech
version. If a bit is 0, you can infer that the BSC does not support the
corresponding speech version.
For example, if the parameter is set to 001011, you can infer that full-rate
versions 1-2 and half-rate version 1 are supported.
In the HDLC networking mode, if only full-rate version 1 among the three
full-rate versions is selected, it is recommended that the AEC delay of all
the DSPs in the DPUX and DPUC be set to 141 so that the downlink traffic
flow is further decreased.
This parameter specifies the value of Radio Link Timeout under half-rate
AMR calls. For details, see Radio Link Timeout (SACCH period(480ms)).
This parameter specifies the value of Radio Link Timeout under full-rate
AMR calls. For details, see Radio Link Timeout (SACCH period(480ms)).
This parameter specifies the number of SACCH multi-frames under half-
rate AMR calls. For details, see the description of SACCH multi-frames.
This parameter specifies the number of SACCH multi-frames under full-rate
AMR calls. For details, see the description of SACCH multi-frames.
This parameter is used to adjust candidate target cells for directed retry.
When target cells are selected during direct retry, only the cells whose loads
are smaller than or equal to the Directed Retry Load Access Threshold are
selected as candidate target cells.
When Assignment Cell Load Judge Enabled is set to Yes, the directed try
procedure is started if the following two conditions are met: The cell
supports directed try. The load of the cell is greater than or equal to Cell
Direct Try Forbidden Threshold.
This parameter specifies the total number of paging times. The parameter
and the paging times configured on the MSC side together determine the
number of retransmissions of the paging message. The total paging times is
approximately equal to this parameter multiplied by the paging times
configured on the MSC side. At present, the Paging Times is set to 4 in the
MSC. The BSC does not support the mechanism for resending the paging
message; therefore, it processes a paging message each time it receives the
paging message. The BTS2X, BTS3X, and double-transceiver BTS support
paging retransmission.
For the BTS3X series and double-transceiver BTSs, this parameter
specifies the level threshold for the MS random access when the BTS
determines the RACH busy state. When the receive level of the random
access burst timeslot is greater than this threshold, the BTS considers that
the timeslot is busy. For the BTS3X series and the double-transceiver BTSs,
this parameter only indicates whether the timeslot is busy. The threshold
setting does not affect the normal access of the MS.
For the BTS2X series (excluding the BTS24), this parameter specifies the
level threshold for the BTS to determine an MS random access.When the
receive level of the random access burst timeslot is greater than this
threshold and the access demodulation is successful, the BTS considers that
the timeslot is busy and determines whether the RACH access is valid based
on the parameter Random Access Error Threshold. For the BTS2X, the
parameter RACH Busy Threshold is used to determine whether the timeslot
is busy. In addition, the parameter affects the normal access of the MS. The
MS access is allowed only when the level of the MS random access burst is
greater than the RACH Busy Threshold.
For the BTS24, this parameter has two functions. One function is indicating
the level threshold of the MS random access for the system to determine the
RACH busy state. When the receive level of the random access burst
timeslot is greater than this threshold, the BTS considers that the timeslot is
busy. The other function is indicating whether the MS access is allowed.The
MS access is allowed only when access level (including random access and
handover access) is greater than the threshold.
dBm to -47 dBm).
This parameter is used by the BTS to inform the BSC of radio link
connection failure.
When the BTS receives the SACCH measurement report from the MS, the
counter for determining whether a radio link is faulty is set to the value of
this parameter. Each time the BTS fails to decode the SACCH measurement
report sent by the MS, the counter decreases by 1. If the BTS successfully
decodes the SACCH measurement report, the counter increases by 2.
When the value of the counter is 0, the radio link fails.The BTS sends a
connection failure indication message to the BSC.The number of SACCH
multi-frames and the radio link failure counter in the system message
specify the radio link failure time on the uplink and that on the downlink
respectively. The judgment standard is whether the SACCH message is
correctly decoded.
This parameter specifies the length of timer T3150. For details, see GSM
Rec. 08.58 and 04.08.
When the BTS sends physical information to the MS, the BTS starts the
timer T3105.If the timer T3105 expires before BTS receives the SAMB
frame from MS, BTS resends physical information to MS and restarts the
timer T3105. The maximum times for resending physical information is
Ny1.
This parameter specifies the maximum number of Physical information
retransmissions. Assume that the maximum number is Ny1. If the number of
retransmissions exceeds Ny1 before the BTS receives any correct SAMB
frame from the MS, the BTS sends the BSC a connection failure message,
which can also be a handover failure message. After receiving the message,
the BSC releases the newly assigned dedicated channel and stops the timer
T3105.
During asynchronous handover, the MS constantly sends handover access
bursts to the BTS. Usually, the Timer T3124 is set to 320 ms. Upon
detecting the bursts, the BTS sends a Physical information message to the
MS over the main DCCH/FACCH and sends the
MSG_ABIS_HO_DETECT message to the BSC. Meanwhile, the timer
T3105 starts.
The Physical information containing information about different physical
layers guarantees correct MS access. If the timer T3105 expires before the
BTS receives the SAMB frame from the MS, the BTS resends the Physical
information message to the MS.
For details, see GSM Rec. 08.58 and 04.08.
This parameter specifies whether the 3G better cell handover algorithm is
allowed.
Yes: The 3G better cell handover algorithm is allowed.
No: The 3G better cell handover algorithm is forbidden.
According to the P/N criterion, if the triggering conditions of TDD 3G
better cell handover are met for N consecutive seconds within P seconds, a
TDD 3G better cell handover is triggered.
This parameter corresponds to N of the P/N criterion.
According to the P/N criterion, if the triggering conditions of TDD 3G
better cell handover are met for N consecutive seconds within P seconds, a
TDD 3G better cell handover is triggered.
This parameter corresponds to P of the P/N criterion.
If both the Inter-System Handover Enable and the Better 3G Cell HO
Allowed parameters are set to Yes, a 3G better cell handover is triggered
when the RSCP of an adjacent 3G cell is greater than the TDD RSCP
Threshold for Better 3G Cell HO during a period of time. The value of this
parameter ranges from 0 to 63 (corresponding to -110 dBm to -47 dBm).
If the Inter-RAT HO Preference parameter is set to Preference for 2G Cell
By Threshold, and if the receive level of the first candidate cell among 2G
candidate cells is lower than or equal to the HO Preference Threshold for
2G Cell, the 3G cell handover is preferred. Otherwise, the 2G cell handover
is preferred.
The level values 0 through 63 map to -110 dBm to -47 dBm.
This parameter specifies whether an MS is preferentially handed over to a
2G cell or to a 3G cell.
During a measurement period, a fast handover occurs only if the difference
of path loss between a chain neighbor cell and the serving cell is greater
than or equal to the value of this parameter.
The level values 0 to 127 map with -64 dB to 63 dB.
This parameter specifies the penalty that is performed on the downlink level
of the original serving cell after a successful fast handover.
This parameter specifies the duration of penalty that is performed on the
original serving cell after a successful fast handover.
This parameter specifies the allowed number of invalid measurement reports
when the BSC uses the measurement reports for filtering. If the number of
received measurement reports is smaller than or equal to the value of this
parameter, no filtering is performed and no fast handover decision is made.
filtering after the BSC receives the measurement reports of the adjacent cell
from the BTS. This helps to avoid improper handover decision based on a
single inaccurate measurement report.
filtering after the BSC receives the measurement reports of the serving cell
from the BTS. This helps to avoid improper handover decision based on a
single inaccurate measurement report.
The fast handover must comply with the P/N criterion. That is, the
triggering conditions of fast handover must be met for N consecutive
seconds within P seconds.
This parameter corresponds to N of the P/N criterion, that is, the period
during which the triggering conditions of fast handover are met. Such a
period is within the value defined by this parameter.
The fast handover must comply with the P/N criterion. That is, the
triggering conditions of fast handover must be met for N consecutive
seconds within P seconds.
This parameter corresponds to P of the P/N criterion. That is, if the
triggering conditions of fast handover is met for a period longer than or
equal to the value of this parameter, a fast handover is triggered.
During a measurement period, if the MS moves at a speed greater than the
value of this parameter, a fast handover is triggered.
During a measurement period, if the compensated downlink level of the
serving cell is smaller than the value of this parameter, a fast handover is
triggered.
During a measurement period, if the filtered uplink level of the serving cell
is smaller than the value of this parameter, a fast handover is triggered.
During the UL subcell to the OL subcell handover in the enhanced dualband
network, if the traffic load in the OL subcell is higher than the Inner Cell
Serious Overload Threshold, a load handover from the UL subcell to the OL
subcell cannot be triggered.
According to the P/N criterion, if the triggering conditions of enhanced
dualband handover are met for N consecutive seconds within P seconds, the
corresponding handover decision is triggered.
According to the P/N criterion, if the triggering conditions of enhanced
dualband handover are met for N consecutive seconds within P seconds, the
corresponding handover decision is triggered.
After a handover between the UL subcell and the OL subcell is successful,
no handover can be triggered within the period defined by this parameter.
This parameter specifies the level step of the load handover from the OL
subcell to the UL subcell.
This parameter specifies the hierarchical handover period of the load
handover from the OL subcell to the UL subcell.
In Enhanced dualband If the channel seizure ratio of the UL subcell is lower
than the UL Subcell Lower Load Threshold, all the calls in the cell send
handover requests at the same time and the load on the BSC increases in a
short time. Thus, congestion may occur in the target cell and call drops may
be caused. Through the hierarchical load handover algorithm, the calls in
the cell are handed over to the UL subcell by level.
This parameter specifies the period of load handover for each level.
This parameter specifies whether the load handover from the OL subcell to
the UL subcell is enabled.
If the traffic load of the UL subcell is higher than the UL subcell serious
overload threshold, the handover period from the UL subcell to the OL
subcell is decreased by the value of this parameter per second on the basis
of UL subcell load hierarchical HO period.
This parameter specifies the hierarchical level step of the load handover
from the UL subcell to the OL subcell.
This parameter specifies the hierarchical handover period of the load
handover from the UL subcell to the OL subcell.
If the channel seizure ratio of the UL subcell is greater than the UL subcell
general overload threshold, all the calls in the cell send handover requests at
the same time and the load on the BSC increases in a short time. Thus,
congestion may occur in the target cell and call drops may be caused.
Through the hierarchical load handover algorithm, the calls in the cell are
handed over to the OL subcell by level.
To prevent ping-pong handovers, this parameter should be decided before
the handover from the OL subcell to the UL subcell. Suppose the signal
strength of serving cell is SS(s) and the signal strength of the adjacent cell is
SS(n). The decision condition for a handover from the OL subcell to the UL
subcell is as follows: SS(s) - SS(n) < Distance between Boundaries of UL
And OL Subcells - Distance Hysterisis Between Boudaries of UL And OL
Subcells.
This parameter is a relative value, which specifies the size of blank zone
between the UL subcell and the OL subcell. The greater the value of this
parameter is, the larger the blank zone is.
For the enhanced dualband handover algorithm, the boundaries of the OL
and UL subcells are determined according to the relative value between the
signal strength of serving cell and that of the adjacent cell. Suppose the
signal strength of serving cell is SS(s) and the signal strength of the adjacent
cell is SS(n). When SS(s) = SS(n), the system considers that it is the
boundary point of the UL subcell. When SS(s) - SS(n) > Distance between
Boundaries of UL And OL Subcells, it is the coverage area of the OL
subcell.
If the flow control level in the current system is greater than the value of this
parameter, the handover between the UL subcell and the OL subcell due to
low or high UL subcell load is not allowed.
If the channel seizure ratio of the UL subcell is greater than the value of this
parameter, the load handover period from the UL subcell to the OL subcell
is decreased by the value of Step length of UL subcell load HO(dB) per
second on the basis of UL subcell load hierarchical HO period, thus
speeding up the load handover.
parameter, some calls of the UL subcell is handed over to the OL subcell.
Moreover, the MS that sends the channel request message in the UL subcell
is preferentially assigned to the OL subcell.
This parameter specifies whether the channel request in the OL subcell is
preferentially processed over the channel request the UL subcell according
to the UL Subcell Lower Load Threshold. If the traffic load in the UL
subcell is lower than the UL Subcell Lower Load Threshold, the MS access
to the OL subcell is preferentially assigned to the UL subcell. This
parameter is applied to the enhanced dualband cell.
This parameter specifies whether the access request in the UL subcell is
preferentially processed over the access request in OL subcell according to
the UL subcell general overload threshold. If the traffic load in the UL
subcell is higher than the UL subcell general overload threshold, the MS
access to the UL subcell is preferentially assigned to the OL subcell. This
In an enhanced dualband cell, if TCH seizure ratio of the UL subcell is
smaller than the value of this parameter, some calls of the OL subcell is
handed over to the UL subcell. Moreover, the MS that sends the channel
request message in the OL subcell is preferentially assigned to the UL
subcell.
This parameter specifies whether the 3G better cell handover algorithm is
allowed.
According to the P/N criterion, if the triggering conditions of 3G better cell
handover are met for N consecutive seconds within P seconds, a 3G better
cell handover is triggered.
According to the P/N criterion, if the triggering conditions of 3G better cell
handover are met for N consecutive seconds within P seconds, a 3G better
If both Inter-System Handover Enable and Better 3G Cell HO Allowed are
set to Yes, a 3G better cell handover is triggered when the Ec/No of an
adjacent 3G cell is greater than Ec/No Threshold for Better 3G Cell HO
during a period of time.
The level values 0 to 49 map to -24 dB to 0 dB.
If both Inter-System Handover Enable and Better 3G Cell HO Allowed are
set to Yes, a 3G better cell handover is triggered when the RSCP of an
adjacent 3G cell is greater than RSCP Threshold for Better 3G Cell HO
during a period of time.The value of this parameter ranges from 0 to 63
If the Inter-RAT HO Preference parameter is set to Preference for 2G Cell
By Threshold, and if the receive level of the first candidate cell among 2G
candidate cells is lower than or equal to the HO Preference Threshold for
2G Cell, the 3G cell handover is preferred. Otherwise, the 2G cell handover
is preferred.
This parameter specifies whether an MS is preferentially handed over to a
2G cell or to a 3G cell.
This parameter specifies the receive level threshold of the handover from
the UL subcell to the OL subcell of the PS service in the PS concentric
algorithm.
This parameter specifies the receive level threshold of the handover from
the OL subcell to the UL subcell of the PS service in the PS concentric
algorithm.
This parameter specifies the receive quality threshold of the AMR HR voice
service. It is used in concentric cell handover decision. The value of this
parameter ranges from 0 to 70, corresponding to RQ (receive quality level 0-
7) x 10.
This parameter specifies the receive quality threshold of the AMR FR voice
service. It is used in concentric cell handover decision.
The value of this parameter ranges from 0 to 70, corresponding to RQ
(receive quality level 0-7) x 10.
This parameter specifies the hierarchical level step of the load handover
from the OL subcell to the UL subcell.
If the channel seizure ratio of the UL subcell is higher than the En Iuo Out
Cell General OverLoad Threshold, all the calls in the cell send handover
requests at the same time and the load on the BSC increases in a short time.
Thus, congestion may occur in the target cell and call drops may be caused.
Through the hierarchical load handover algorithm, the calls in the cell are
handed over to the target cell by level.
parameter, the load handover period from the UL subcell to the OL subcell
is decreased by the value of Modified step length of UL load HO period per
second on the basis of UL subcell load hierarchical HO period, thus
speeding up the load handover from the UL subcell to the OL subcell.
parameter, some calls in the UL subcell are handed over to the OL subcell.
If the channel seizure ratio of the UL subcell is smaller than the value of this
parameter, some calls in the OL subcell are handed over to the UL subcell.
When deciding whether a call can be handed over from the UL subcell to
the OL subcell, the BSC determines whether the number of handover
failures reaches the MaxRetry Time after UtoO Fail. If the number reaches
the MaxRetry Time after UtoO Fail, the UL subcell to OL subcell handover
is prohibited during the Penalty Time after UtoO HO Fail. Otherwise, the
UL subcell to OL subcell handover is allowed.
After an OL subcell to UL subcell handover fails, the call cannot be handed
over from the OL subcell to the UL subcell during the Penalty Time after
OtoU HO Fail.
After a UL subcell to OL subcell handover fails, the call cannot be handed
over from the UL subcell to the OL subcell during the Penalty Time after
UtoO HO Fail.
If handover penalty is enabled, when a call is handed over from the OL
subcell to the UL subcell, it cannot be handed over back to the OL subcell
during Penalty Time of UtoO HO to avoid ping-pong handovers.
If this parameter is set to 0, handover penalty is not performed on the OL
subcell to the UL subcell handover.
During the handover from the UL subcell to the OL subcell, the calls are
hierarchically handled from level 63 to 0. Therefore, the calls with higher
receive level can be handed over to the OL subcell first.
The handover strip is decreased by Underlay HO Step Level every
Underlay HO Step Period.
This parameter, together with Underlay HO Step Period, controls the level
strip of the handover from the UL subcell to the OL subcell. In other words,
the time taken in subtracting Underlay HO Step Level from the handover
strip is Underlay HO Step Period.
When multiple requests for the UL-to-OL handover are sent simultaneously,
calls with lower level may be handed over first. This does not conform to
the principle that the call of the best quality should be handed over
preferentially.
Therefore, the hierarchy handover algorithm is adopted to hand over the
calls with higher RX level from the UL subcell to OL subcell. The value of
this parameter is the time taken in subtracting Underlay HO Step Level from
the signal level of the handover strip.
This parameter determines whether the traffic load in the UL subcell
determines the UL subcell to OL subcell handover or the OL subcell to UL
subcell handover in an enhanced concentric cell.
When this parameter is set to Yes,
If the call is in the OL subcell and if the OL to UL HO Allowed parameter
is set to Yes, the OL subcell to UL subcell handover is triggered when the
traffic load in the UL subcell is lower than En Iuo Out Cell Low Load
Threshold.
If the call is in the UL subcell and the UL subcell to OL subcell handover is
triggered, and if the UL to OL HO Allowed parameter is set to Yes, a timer
is started when the traffic load in the UL subcell is greater than En Iuo Out
Cell General OverLoad Threshold, thus handing over the MSs in the UL
subcell to the OL subcell. If the traffic load in the UL subcell is lower than
En Iuo Out Cell General OverLoad Threshold, the related timer is stopped,
and the MSs in the UL subcell are not handed over to the OL subcell.
When this parameter is set to No, the traffic load in the UL subcell is not
taken into account for triggering the UL subcell to OL subcell handover or
the OL subcell to UL subcell handover in an enhanced concentric cell.
This parameter is one of the parameters that determine the coverage of the
OL subcell and UL subcell of an enhanced concentric cell.
If the Enhanced Concentric Allowed parameter is set to Yes, the coverage
of the OL subcell and UL subcell is determined by UtoO HO Received
Level Threshold, OtoU HO Received Level Threshold, RX_QUAL
Threshold, TA Threshold, and TA Hysteresis.

In a concentric cell, the channel assignment for an incoming-BSC handover
can be processed in one of the following modes:
Overlaid Subcell: A channel in the OL subcell is preferentially assigned.
Underlaid Subcell: A channel in the UL subcell is preferentially assigned.
No Preference: A channel is assigned according to general channel
assignment algorithms.
In a concentric cell, an intra-BSC incoming cell handover request can be
processed in one of the following modes:
System Optimization: The measurement level on the BCCH of the target
cell is added to the intra-BSC inter-cell handover request messages. Then,
the BSC compares the measurement value with RX_LEV Threshold, and
determines the preferred service layer. During the comparison and
determination, the BSC does not take the RX_LEV Hysteresis into
consideration.
No Preference: A channel is assigned according to general channel
If TA Pref. of Imme-Assign Allowed is set to Yes and the access_delay in
the channel request message is lower than TA Threshold of Imme-Assign
Pref., a channel in the OL subcell is preferentially assigned during the
immediate assignment. Otherwise, a channel in the UL subcell is
preferentially assigned.
This parameter specifies whether a channel is assigned based on the
access_delay in the channel request message during an immediate
assignment.
If TA Pref. of Imme-Assign Allowed is set to No, a channel in the UL
subcell is preferentially assigned during the immediate assignment.
If TA Pref. of Imme-Assign Allowed is set to Yes and the access_delay in
the channel request message is lower than TA Threshold of Imme-Assign
Pref., a channel in the OL subcell is preferentially assigned during the
immediate assignment. Otherwise, a channel in the UL subcell is
preferentially assigned.
If the Assign Optimum Layer parameter is set to System Optimization, the
current receive level on the SDCCH can be estimated (by interpolating and
filtering) based on the uplink measurement value in the measurement reports
sent on the SDCCH. Then, the BSC determines whether a TCH in the UL
subcell or in the OL subcell should be assigned based on the result of
comparing the receive level on the SDCCH and Assign-optimum-level
Threshold, and the result of comparing the TA and TA Threshold of
Assignment Pref..
Only when the receive level on the SDCCH is greater than or equal to
Assign-optimum-level Threshold and the TA is lower than TA Threshold of
Assignment Pref., a TCH in the OL subcell is preferentially assigned to the
MS. Otherwise, a TCH in the UL subcell is preferentially assigned to ensure
successful assignment.
If the Assign Optimum Layer parameter is set to System Optimization, the
current receive level on the SDCCH can be estimated (by interpolating and
filtering) based on the uplink measurement value in the measurement reports
sent on the SDCCH. Then, the BSC determines whether a TCH in the UL
subcell or in the OL subcell should be assigned based on the result of
comparing the uplink receive level on the SDCCH and Assign-optimum-
level Threshold, and the result of comparing the TA and TA Threshold of
Assignment Pref..
Only when the uplink receive level on the SDCCH is greater than or equal
to Assign-optimum-level Threshold and the TA is lower than TA Threshold
of Assignment Pref., a TCH in the OL subcell is preferentially assigned to
the MS. Otherwise, a TCH in the UL subcell is preferentially assigned to
ensure successful assignment.
In a concentric cell, the TCH can be assigned in the following modes:
System Optimization: Based on the measurement reports sent on the
SDCCH, the BSC determines which service layer should be preferentially
selected.
Underlaid Subcell: The TCH in the UL subcell are preferentially assigned
to an MS.
Overlaid Subcell: The TCH in the OL subcell are preferentially assigned to
an MS.
No preference: A channel is assigned according to general channel

If the Enhanced Concentric Allowed parameter is set to No, the coverage of
the OL subcell and UL subcell is determined by RX_LEV Threshold,

The RX_LEV Threshold parameter refers to the threshold of the downlink
receive level.
UO Signal Intensity Difference = UO Amplifier Power Difference +
Combiner Insertion Loss Difference + Path Loss Difference of Different
Antennas + Pass Loss Difference of Different Frequencies.
Measure the receive level of the UL subcell and OL subcell at several
different places if the UL subcell and OL subcell use different antennas. The
recommended number of places is five.
The OL subcell and the UL subcell have different transmit power.
Therefore, the receive level of the MS in the UL subcell is different from
that in the OL subcell. This parameter specifies the power that should be
compensated for the OL subcell. The value of this parameter should be the
sum of these items: UO Amplifier Power Difference, Combiner Insertion
Loss Difference, Path Loss Difference of Different Antennas, and Pass Loss
Difference of Different Frequencies.
This value is measured at the site. Multiple-point measurements should be
performed when different antennas are used for the OL subcell and UL
subcell. If the Enhanced Concentric Allowed parameter is set to Yes, this
parameter is invalid. In other words, the power of the OL subcell is not
compensated.
This parameter specifies whether the TA is used as a decisive condition for
the concentric cell handover.
This parameter specifies whether the downlink receive quality is used as a
decisive condition for the concentric cell handover.
This parameter specifies whether the downlink receive level is used as a
decisive condition for the concentric cell handover.
This parameter specifies whether the handover from the OL subcell to the
UL subcell is enabled.
This parameter specifies whether the handover from the UL subcell to the
OL subcell is enabled.
This parameter specifies the load threshold of the TIGHT BCCH handover.
To trigger an intra-cell TIGHT BCCH handover, the load of the non-BCCH
frequencies should be higher than the Load Threshold for TIGHT BCCH
HO.
This parameter specifies the signal quality threshold of the TIGHT BCCH
handover. To trigger an intra-cell TIGHT BCCH handover from a TCH to a
BCCH, the downlink receive quality should be lower than the RX_QUAL
Threshold for TIGHT BCCH HO.
This parameter specifies the K offset used in K ranking.
To reduce the ping-pong effect in an handover, you are advised to subtract
K Bias from the actual downlink receive level of the candidate cells before
ranking their downlink receive level based on the K principle.
This parameter specifies the expected uplink receive level on a new channel
after an MS is handed over to a new cell. This parameter is used for the MS
Power Prediction after HO. This parameter should be consistent with the
UL RX_LEV Upper Threshold in Huawei II power control algorithm, thus
ensuring a relatively high uplink receive level on the new channel after
handover, increasing the transmit power of the MS, and avoiding call drops
caused by too low a uplink receive level.
dBm to -47 dBm).
This parameter specifies the period in which penalty is performed on the
adjacent cells of the cell where a fast-moving MS is located. The adjacent
cells must be located at the Macro, Micro, or Pico layer other than the
Umbrella layer.
If an MS is moving fast, the BSC performs penalty on the adjacent cells of
the cell where the MS is located. This parameter specifies the penalty value.
Only when the MS is located at the Umbrella layer and the adjacent cells are
located at the Macro, Micro, or Pico layer, penalty is performed.
This parameter is valid within only the Penalty Time on Fast Moving HO.
The two intra-cell handovers that occur during the period specified by this
parameter are regarded as consecutive handovers.
When the number of consecutive intra-cell handovers reaches the maximum
allowed, a timer is started to forbid the intra-cell handover.
Intra-cell handovers are allowed only when the timer expires.
This parameter determines the maximum number of consecutive intra-cell
handovers allowed.
If the interval of two continuous intra-cell handovers is shorter than a
specified threshold, the two handovers are regarded as consecutive
handovers. If multiple consecutive intra-cell handovers occur, the intra-cell
handover is forbidden for a period.
The time threshold is calculated based on the cell radius (r) and the velocity
(v). The threshold equals 2r/v. If the time taken by an MS to pass a cell is
smaller than this threshold, the MS is regarded as moving fast. Otherwise,
the MS is regarded as moving slow.
According to the P/N criterion, if the MS fast passes N cells among the P
micro cells, the BSC starts to trigger a fast-moving micro-to-macro cell
handover. This parameter corresponds to N of the P/N criterion.
According to the P/N criterion, if the MS fast passes N cells among the P
micro cells, the BSC starts to trigger a fast-moving micro-to-macro cell
handover. This parameter corresponds to P of the P/N criterion.
In hierarchical load handover, the handover strip increases by one Load HO
Step Level for every Load HO Step Period, starting from the Edge HO DL
RX_LEV Threshold. The handovers are performed as such until all the calls
whose receive levels are within the range of (Edge HO DL RX_LEV
Threshold, Edge HO DL RX_LEV Threshold + Load HO Bandwidth) are
handed off the current serving cell.
The value of Load HO Step Level must be smaller than that of the Load
HO Bandwidth.
When the load of the cell is equal to or greater than the Load HO Threshold,
all the calls served by the cell may send handover requests simultaneously,
and the load on the CPU will increase rapidly as a consequence. In some
cases, call drops may occur due to traffic congestion in the cell. Therefore,
the hierarchical handover algorithm for load handover is used for the BSC
to control the number of users to be handed over by levels.
This parameter specifies the period for each load handover level.
The setting of this parameter is dependent on the Edge HO DL RX_LEV
Threshold parameter.
Only when the receive level of the serving cell is within the range of (Edge
HO DL RX_LEV Threshold, Edge HO DL RX_LEV Threshold + Load HO
Bandwidth), a load handover is allowed.
If the cell load is smaller than the value of this parameter, the cell can
receive the MSs handed over from other cells. Otherwise, the cell rejects the
MSs handed over from other cells.
When Load HO Allowed is set to Yes, Load HO Threshold should be set to
85.
The traffic load of a cell refers to the TCH seizure rate in the cell.
The load handover is triggered when the traffic load in a cell is greater than
the value of this parameter. In other words, the load handover is triggered
when the ratio of TCHs occupied in a cell reaches the threshold defined for
load handover.
System flux thresholds correspond to the system flux obtained based on
message packets, CPU load, and FID queuing load. The system flux level is
the current flux control level of the system.
0-11: There are 12 flow control levels. Where, 0 indicates the lowest level
and 11 indicates the highest level.
A load handover is allowed only when the system flux is lower than the
value of this parameter. The handover performed over the maximum
threshold may have tremendous impacts on the system. Thus, this parameter
should not be set to a higher value.
1) The flow control level algorithm for the assigned system messages:
[(Average Message Usage - Inner Flow Control Discard Begin
Threshold)/(Inner Flow Control Discard All Threshold - Inner Flow Control
Discard Begin Threshold) x 100]/10+1 (round-down for division operation).
If the value is smaller than Inner Flow Control Discard Begin Threshold,
Level 0 is used. If the value is equal to or greater than Inner Flow Control
Discard Begin Threshold, the level is calculated. The value range is from 0
to 11.
2) Flow control threshold for the CPU to start to discard the channel access
messages and paging messages: 80%
. Flow control threshold for the CPU to discard all channel access messages
and paging messages: 100%
. CPU usage smaller than 80% corresponds to level 0. CPU usage equal to
or greater than CPU flow control threshold 80% corresponds to level 2. An
increase of 5% means an increase of 2 levels. Level 10 is the highest. The
level value can be 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10.
The value of this parameter corresponds to multiplying quality level 0 to 7
by 10. An emergency handover can be triggered only when the uplink
receive quality of the MS is greater than the value of this parameter.

This parameter specifies the quality level offset of the interface handover of
the AMR FR service relative to non-AMR services or the AMR HR service
(x 10). When determining whether an interference handover should be
triggered, the system compares the receive quality of the MS minus the
RXLEVOff with the handover threshold.
For the AMR calls, this parameter, together with RXQUALn, is used in
interference handover decision. An uplink interference handover is easily
triggered if this parameter is set to a small value.
When n = 1, that is, when the receive level of the serving cell is smaller
than or equal to 30, this parameter is invalid.
If the receive level of the serving cell is greater than or equal to 63, and if
the uplink or downlink receive quality of the non-AMR FR voice service is
greater than or equal to the value of this parameter, uplink interference or
downlink interference exists.

the uplink or downlink receive quality of the non-AMR FR voice service is

If the number of consecutive measurement reports without the downlink
measurement report is smaller than or equal to the value of this parameter,
the handover decision related to no downlink measurement report is
allowed.
If the downlink MRs are not included in the MRs received, and if the uplink
receive quality is greater than or equal to the value of this parameter, a no
downlink measurement report emergency handover is triggered.
When an emergency handover is triggered, an inter-cell handover is
preferentially selected. An intra-cell handover, however, is triggered if no
candidate cell is available and if intra-cell handovers are allowed.
This parameter is used to control the no downlink measurement report
handover algorithm.
If this parameter is set to 0, the no downlink measurement report handover
algorithm is disabled. Therefore, handover decision related to no downlink
measurement report is not allowed in this cell.
If this parameter is set to 1, the no downlink measurement report handover
algorithm is enabled. Therefore, handover decision related to no downlink
measurement report is allowed in this cell.
This parameter is used for configuring the filter for the rapidly dropped
receive level. This parameter indicate specifies the drop trend of the receive
level within a period.
If this parameter is set to a higher value, a more rapid level drop is required
for triggering a rapid level drop handover. This parameter is used together
with the Filter Parameters A1 to A8.
For details, refer to Filter Parameters A1-A8.
receive level. Together with filter parameter B, it is one of the nine filter
parameters. The corresponding formula is as follows (in the program, the
value of A1 to A8 can be obtained by subtracting 10 from the configured
value, and B is the negative value of the configured value):
C1(nt) = A1 x C(nt) + A2 x C(nt-t) + A3 x C(nt-2t) ++ A8 x C(nt-7t).
Where, C(nt) is the uplink RX_Level of the serving cell in the MR received
at the time of nt. If C1(nt) is smaller than B, and if C(nt) is below the Edge
HO RX_LEV Thrsh., then the signal level is considered to be rapid
dropping.
Filter parameters A1 to A8 may be smaller than or equal to 10. Parameters
A1 to A8 correspond to a1 to a8 in the program, and ai = Ai-10 (i = 1-8).
Therefore, among a1 to a8 in the program, there must be values smaller than
or equal to 0.
For example, if the receive level drops rapidly in a granularity period, you
need to set A3 to A8 to 10, A1 to 0, and A2 to 20. In this case, C1(nt) = a1
x C (nt) + a2 x C(nt-t) = 10C(nt-t)-10C(nt). To trigger a rapid level drop
handover, you should set C1(nt) to a value smaller than B. and then the fast
level drop appears in a MR period. The formula reflects the rapid drop of
the cell level in an MR.
You can configure the filter to define the number of MRs used and the
extent to which the level drops. However, the setting of this parameter is
complicated.

uplink receive quality is greater than or equal to the UL Qual. Threshold.
When an emergency handover is triggered, an inter-cell handover should be

When the Report Type is EMR, this parameter specifies the filter length for
the TCH NBR_RCVD_BLOCK.
By setting this parameter, you can use the NBR_RCVD_BLOCK in
multiple EMRs, thus avoiding the case that the NBR_RCVD_BLOCK in a
single EMR is inaccurate.
When the Report Type is EMR, this parameter specifies the filter length for
the SDCCH NBR_RCVD_BLOCK.
By setting this parameter, you can use the NBR_RCVD_BLOCK in
multiple EMRs, thus avoiding the case that the NBR_RCVD_BLOCK in a
single EMR is inaccurate.
This parameter specifies the penalty time for AMR full rate to half rate (FR-
to-HR) handovers. Before the timer expires, no AMR FR-to-HR handover is
allowed if the previous FR-to-HR handover fails due to channel
unavailability or channel mismatch.
The greater the value of this parameter is, the longer the penalty time after
AMR TCHF-H HO Fail is. In other words, triggering AMR handover
becomes more difficult.

for averaging the MEAN_BEP on the SDCCH.
By setting this parameter, you can use the MEAN_BEP in multiple EMRs,
thus avoiding the case that the MEAN_BEP in a single EMR is inaccurate.
This parameter specifies the duration of the penalty imposed on the original
serving cell after an emergency handover due to timing advance is
performed.
After an emergency handover is performed due to TA, the receive level of
the original serving cell is decreased by the penalty level. Thus, other cells
are given higher priority and handover to the original serving cell is not
allowed.
This parameter specifies the penalty on the signal strength of the original
serving cell to avoid ping-pong handovers after an emergency handover due
to the timing advance. This parameter is valid only within the Penalty Time
after TA HO.

serving cell where an emergency handover associated with bad signal
quality is initiated. This parameter is defined to avoid ping-pong handover
and is valid only within the Penalty Time after BQ HO.

level of the serving cell is decreased by the penalty level. Thus, other cells
are given higher priority and handover to the serving cell is not allowed.
This parameter specifies the penalty level imposed on the target cell.
This parameter is valid only within the duration of the cell penalty time.

This parameter helps to avoid sharp drop of signal levels caused by Raileigh
Fading and to ensure correct handover decisions.
This parameter specifies the allowed number of consecutive MRs that are
lost during interpolation.
If the number of consecutive MRs that are lost is equal to or smaller than
the value of this parameter, the linear interpolation processing of the lost
MRs is performed according to two consecutive MRs that are lost.
If the number of consecutive MRs that are lost is greater than the value of
this parameter, all lost MRs are discarded, and calculations are made again
when new MRs are received.
This parameter is used to select the candidate cells during directed retry. If
the receive level of an adjacent cell is greater than the value of this
parameter, the adjacent cell can be selected as a candidate cell for directed
retry. The level values 0 through 63 map to -110 dBm to -47 dBm.
This parameter specifies the frequency at which the BTS sends the
preprocessed MR to the BSC. After preprocessing the MRs, the BTS sends
the preprocessed MRs to the BSC. For example, if this parameter is set to
Twice every second, the BTS sends preprocessed MRs to the BSC every 0.5
second.
This parameter specifies whether the BS/MS power class should be
transferred from the BTS to the BSC.
This parameter specifies whether the BTS should send the original
measurement report to the BSC. If this parameter is set to Yes, the BTS
should send the preprocessed MR and the original MR to the BSC.
This parameter specifies whether the BTS should preprocess MRs. This
parameter determines whether transmit power is controlled by the BTS or
by the BSC. This parameter is set to YES if power control is performed by
the BTS. This parameter is set to NO if power control is performed by the
BSC.
This parameter specifies whether an MS can use the optimum transmit
power instead of the maximum transmit power to access the new channel
after a handover. The purpose is to minimize system interference and
improve signal quality.
This parameter specifies whether to penalize the target cell where a
handover fails or the serving cell where the TA is too great or the signal
quality is too bad.
If the target cell is congested and an incoming cell handover fails, a penalty
is performed on the target cell to avoid the handover of the MS to the cell.
When the TA is great or the signal quality is bad, ping-pong handovers are
likely to occur. If a handover fails, a penalty should be performed on the
serving cell. These kinds of penalties can be performed on cells in one BSC
or on external cells.

P seconds, an edge handover is triggered.
According to the P/N criterion, if the UL or DL receive level is lower than
its corresponding edge handover threshold for N consecutive seconds within
P seconds, an edge handover is triggered.
If the DL receive level remains lower than the Edge HO DL RX_LEV
Threshold for a period, the edge handover is triggered. If the PBGT
handover is enabled, the relevant edge handover threshold can be decreased.
If the PBGT handover is not enabled and the edge handover threshold is not
properly set, cross coverage, co-channel interference, and adjacent channel
interference are likely to occur. The Edge HO DL RX_LEV Threshold
should be adjusted based on the handover performance statistics and the
actual network performance to achieve the UL/DL balance.

If the UL receive level remains lower than the Edge HO UL RX_LEV
Threshold for a period, the edge handover is triggered. If the PBGT

If the PBGT handover is not enabled and the edge handover threshold is not
properly set, cross coverage, co-channel interference, and adjacent channel
interference are likely to occur. The Edge HO UL RX_LEV Threshold
should be adjusted based on the handover performance statistics and the
actual network performance to achieve the UL/DL balance.
dBm to -47 dBm).
This parameter specifies whether the interference handover is enabled.
When the receive level is higher the receive level threshold but the
transmission quality is lower than the interference handover quality
threshold, the interference handover is triggered. In other words, the MS is
interfered and needs to be handed over.
This parameter specifies whether the concentric cell handover is enabled.
The concentric cell is used to achieve the wide coverage of the UL subcell
and the aggressive frequency reuse of the OL subcell. The concentric cell
handover can improve system capacity and conversation quality. The
concentric cell handover can be classified into the UL subcell to OL subcell
handover and the OL subcell to UL subcell handover.
This parameter specifies whether the time advance (TA) handover is
enabled. The TA handover determines whether the timing advance (TA) is
higher than the predefined TA threshold. When the TA is higher than the
predefined TA threshold, a TA handover is triggered. The TA is calculated
based on the distance between the MS and the BTS. The longer the distance
is, the greater the TA value is.
This parameter specifies whether the bad quality (BQ) handover is enabled.
Whether a BQ handover should be enabled depends on the UL and DL
transmission quality (BER). When the UL signal quality or the DL signal
quality exceeds the BQ handover threshold. a BQ emergency handover is
performed. A rise in BER may result from too low a signal level or channel
interference.
This parameter specifies whether to enable the edge handover algorithm.
When an MS makes a call at the edge of a cell, the call may drop if the
receive level is too low. To avoid such a call drop, an edge handover can be
performed. When the UL receive level of the serving cell is lower than the
Edge HO UL RX_LEV Threshold or the DL receive level of the serving
cell is lower than the Edge HO DL RX_LEV Threshold, the MS is handed
over to a neighbor cell.
This parameter specifies whether the layered hierarchical handover is
enabled. Cells are set to different layers and different priorities to
implement the layered hierarchical handover. Then, based on the layers and
priorities, calls are handed over to the cells with high priority (priority is
related to Layer of the Cell and Cell Priority).
This parameter specifies whether to enable the PBGT (POWER BUDGET)
handover algorithm. Based on the path loss, the BSC uses the PBGT
handover algorithm to search for a desired cell in real time and decides
whether a handover should be performed. The cell must have less path loss
and meet specific requirements. To avoid ping-pong handovers, the PBGT
handover can be performed only on TCHs between the cells of the same
layer and hierarchy. The PBGT handover cannot be performed on SDCCHs.
This parameter specifies whether to enable the rapid level drop handover.
When this function is enabled, an MS can be handed over to a new cell
before the occurrence call drop caused by the rapid drop of the receive level
of the MS.
This parameter specifies whether an MS that moves fast in a micro cell can
be handed over to a macro cell. If this parameter is set to Yes, the MS that
moves fast in a micro cell can be handed over to a macro cell, thus reducing
the number of handovers. It is recommended that this handover be applied
only in special areas such as highways to reduce the CPU load. The fast-
moving micro-to-macro cell handover algorithm is used only in special
conditions.
This parameter specifies whether a traffic load-sharing handover is enabled.
The load handover helps to reduce cell congestion, improve success rate of
channel assignment, and balance the traffic load among cells, thus
improving the network performance. The load handover functions between
the TCHs within one BSC or the TCHs in the cells of the same layer.
The load handover is used as an emergency measure instead of a primary
measure to adjust abnormal traffic burst in partial areas. If load handovers
occur frequently in a partial area, the cell and TRX configuration of BTSs
and the network layout should be adjusted.
This parameter specifies whether the intra-cell handover is enabled. Note: A
forced intra-cell handover is not subject to this parameter.
This parameter specifies whether a handover between signaling channels is
enabled.
This parameter specifies whether to adjust the sequence of candidate cells.
After the sequence is adjusted, the handover within the same BSC/MSC
takes priority.

reselection. For details, see GSM Rec. 05.08 and 04.08.
This parameter applies to only GSM Phase II MSs.
This parameter specifies the temporary correction of C2. This parameter is
valid only before the penalty time of cell reselection expires. For details, see
GSM Rec. 0508 and 0408.
This parameter applies only to GSM Phase II MSs.
This parameter Additional Reselect Param Indication (ACS) is used to
inform an MS where cell reselection parameters can be obtained.
If this parameter is set to 0, the MS should obtain PI and other parameters
for calculating C2 from other bytes of the system information type 4
message. If this parameter is set to 1, the MS should obtain PI and other
parameters for calculating C2 from other bytes of the system information
type 7 or 8 message.
This parameter specifies the manual correction of C2.
If this parameter is properly configured, the number of handovers can be
reduced and a better cell can be assigned to the MS. When PT is set to 31, it
becomes more difficult for an MS to access the cell when CRO increases.
Generally, the CRO should be less than 25 dB because excessively large
CRO may bring uncertainties to the network.In addition, the same CRO
applies to the cells with the same priority.For details, see GSM Rec. 05.08
and 04.08.
This parameter affects only GSM Phase II MSs or GSM PhaseII+ MSs.
This parameter Cell Bar Qualify (CBQ) is valid only for cell selection. It is

Cell Reselect Parameters Indication (PI for short), sent on the broadcast
channel, indicates whether CRO, TO, and PT are used.
Actually, the MS is informed whether C2-based cell reselection is
performed. For details, see GSM Rec. 0408 and 0508.In addition, a least
interval of 5s is required for C2-based cell reselection to avoid frequent cell
reselection.
When PI is set to 1, the MS obtains the value of C2 based on the broadcast
system information and determines whether a cell is reselected. When PI is
set to 0, that is, C2 equals C1, the MS determines whether a cell is
reselected based on the value of C1.
This parameter is used to determine whether cell reselection is performed
between different LACs. This parameter can prevent frequent location
update, thus lowering the possibility of losing paging messages. For details,
see the description of the cell reselection hysteresis.
This parameter specifies the length of the timer for periodic location update.
In the VLR, a regular location update timer is defined. When the location
update period decreases, the service performance is improved. When the
signaling traffic of the network increases, the usage of radio resources
drops.In addition, when the location update period decreases, the MS power
consumption increases, and the average standby time is greatly
shortened.When setting this parameter, take into consideration the
processing capability of the MSC and BSC, the load on the A interface,
Abis interface, Um interface, HLR, and VLR. Generally, a larger value is
adopted in continuous coverage in urban areas and a smaller value in
suburbs, rural areas, or blind spots.
This parameter specifies the number of multi-frames in a cycle on the
paging channel, that is, the number of paging sub-channels on a specific
paging channel.
In actual situation, an MS monitors only the associated paging sub-channel.
If the value of this parameter increases, the number of paging sub-channels
in a cell increases, thus reducing the number of MSs served by each paging
sub-channel and prolonging the average service time of the MS battery. For
details about the calculation of the paging group, see GSM Rec. 05.02. But
the delay of paging messages increases, and the system performance
deteriorates as the value of this parameter increases.
This parameter should be set on the basis that the paging channel is not
overloaded. In addition, the value of the parameter should be as small as
possible. The load of the paging channels should be periodically measured
on the running network. The value of this parameter should be adjusted on
the basis of the load.
A paging message must be sent simultaneously in all the cells in an LAC.
Thus, the capacity of the paging channel in a cell, that is, the number of
paging sub-channels in a cell, must be the same as or similar to that in other
cells of an LAC.
This parameter specifies the number of CCCH blocks reserved for the
AGCH. After the CCCH is configured, this parameter actually indicates the
CCCH usage for AGCH and PCH.
This parameter affects the paging response time of an MS and the system
performance.
This parameter specifies the NCCs to be reported by the MSs in a cell. This
parameter is an information element (IE) in the system information type 2
and 6 messages.
If a bit in the value of this parameter is set to 1, the MS reports the
corresponding measurement report to the BTS. The value of this parameter
has a byte (eight bits). Each bit maps with an NCC (0-7) and the most
significant bit corresponds to NCC 7. If bit N is 0, the MS does not measure
the cell level of NCC N.
This parameter specifies the cell bar access (CBA).
Value 0 indicates that cell access is allowed.
Value 1 indicates that cell access is not allowed.
Together with CBQ, this parameter can be used to determine the priority of
cells. For details, see GSM Rec. 04.08.

This parameter specifies the number of timeslots between the consecutive
transmissions of channel request messages by an MS.
To reduce the collisions on the RACH and to improve the efficiency of the
RACH, an access algorithm is defined in GSM Rec. 04.08. The algorithm
specifies three parameters: Tx-integer (T for short), maximum number of
retransmissions (RET), and S related to channel combination.
This parameter works with the configuration of the CCCH to determine the
parameter S. The relations between this parameter and the configuration of
the CCCH are as follows:
When this parameter is set to 3, 8, 14, or 50, S is 55 if the CCCH and
SDCCH do not share a physical channel.
When this parameter is set to 3, 8, 14, or 50, S is 41 if the CCCH and
SDCCH share a physical channel.
When this parameter is set to 4, 9, or 6, S is 76 if the CCCH and SDCCH
do not share a physical channel.

MS is powered off, thus saving the network processing time and network
resources.
If the TC resources are changed before and after the handover, this needs to
keep the test duration for continuously transmitting the uplink data of the
old channel. If TDM transmission is used on the Abis interface, this
parameter is set to 10 ms; if IP transmission is used on the Abis interface,
this parameter is set to 20 ms.

expires, the BSC deactivates the channel.
In an intra-cell handover, the timer T3103C is initiated after the BSC

stops after the BSC receives the HANDOVER COMPLETE message. After
the timer expires, the BSC sends a handover failure message.
This parameter specifies the timer carried by the WaitIndcation information
element when the BSC sends an immediate assignment reject message to an

reports a Clear REQ message.
After the BSC sends a handover command, the timer T3107 is initiated.
Before the timer T3107 expires, the timer T3107 stops if the BSC receives a
handover complete message. After the timer T3107 expires, the BSC sends
a handover failure message.
In an outgoing BSC handover, after the BSC sends a handover request
message, the timer T7 is initiated. Before the timer T7 expires, the timer T7
stops if the BSC receives a handover acknowledgment message. After the
timer T7 expires, the BSC sends an outgoing BSC handover failure
message.
In an intra-BSC handover, the timer T3103 is initiated after the BSC sends a
handover command. Before the timer T3103 expires, the timer stops if the
BSC receives a Handover Complete message. After the timer expires, the

This parameter specifies whether a cell configured with baseband frequency
hopping supports the intelligent power consumption decrease.
Qtru Signal Merge Switch
The QTRU signal merge algorithm is to prevent the calls with great
difference between uplink signal strengths from assigning in the same
timeslot.
The BSC monitors the high-level signal and overwhelms the low-level
signal per 0.5 second. If the highest uplink signal strength of a timeslot
the lowest uplink signal strength of this timeslot > Threshold of the
difference between uplink received levels, the situation must be recorded.
During the observation of P seconds, if this situation lasts N seconds, a
forced handover is initiated on the calls with the highest uplink signal
strength in the timeslot, and the calls should be handed over to another
timeslot.
P specifies the Observed time of uplink received level difference, and N

This parameter specifies whether the repeater is configured in a cell. The
function of repeater is simpler than that of BTS, and the repeater is an
extended equipment that is used for the wide area or indoor application
solving the problem of blind area. Not only the repeater can improve the
base station coverage, but also increase the total traffic volume of network.

between repeaters is long, the handover between repeaters can only be
asynchronous. Otherwise, the handover may fail.
This parameter specifies the delay of TRX aiding detection performed after

The cell is unstable after initialization; therefore, if the TRX aiding
detection starts immediately after cell initialization, a wrong decision might
be made. In such a case, this parameter is used to specify a delay.
This parameter specifies whether to allow flow control on the Abis
interface.
The flow control function applies to the call management. When the BSS is

balance the system load caused by Abis flow.
By default, flow control on the Abis interface is performed.

sending the CCCH overload message is CCCH Load Indication Period(s).
This parameter specifies the interval for sending the overload messages.
This parameter is used by a BTS to inform the BSC of the load on a CCCH
timeslot.For details, see GSM Rec. 08.58.If the load on a CCCH timeslot
exceeds the CCCH Load Threshold, the BTS periodically sends the CCCH
overload message to the BSC. The CCCH overload messages include the
uplink RACH overload messages and the downlink PCH overload
messages.
This parameter specifies the interval for the BTS to send radio resource
indication messages, informing the BSC of the interference levels on idle
channels of a TRX. In the radio resource indication message, the TRX
reports the interference level of each idle channel in the measurement
period.
The value of this parameter has 16 bits. The most significant bit indicates
whether the parameter is valid. Bits 14-8 indicate the level threshold. Bits 7-
0 indicate the BER threshold.
The BTS adjusts the MS frequency according to the value of this parameter.

is generated.The Power output error threshold and Power output reduction
threshold indicate the two thresholds of the error.If the value of this

installed is 3 greater than that when the tower-mounted amplifier is
installed.
This parameter specifies the start frame number of the BTS. It is used to
synchronize the MS and the BTS after the BTS is re-initialized.
The frame offset technology arranges the frame numbers of different cells
under the same BTS to be different from one another by one frame offset.
Thus, the FCH and SCH signals of adjacent cells do not appear in the same
frame to facilitate the MS decoding.
This parameter specifies the maximum number of levels by which the BTS
RF power decreases. The decrease in the BTS RF power is implemented
through dynamic power control and static power control.
For the BTS2X, this parameter is shielded. For the BTS3X and double-
transceiver BTS, this parameter is invalid.
For the BTS3X and double-transceiver BTS, power control is performed on
the basis of the power level of a TRX.
This parameter specifies the period during which interference levels are
averaged.
Before the BTS sends the radio resource indication message to the BSC, the
interference levels on the idle channels in the period specified by this
parameter are averaged. The result is used to classify the interference levels
on the idle channels into five interference bands.
For details, see GSM Rec. 08.08, 08.58, and 12.21.
This parameter specifies the threshold used for interference measurement.
The BSS measures the uplink quality of the radio channels occupied by
MSs, calculates and reports the interference level on each of the idle
channels. This helps the BSC to assign channels.
According to the strength of interference signals, the interference signals
are classified into six interference levels. The values of these levels are
called Interf. Band Thresholds. The BTS determines the interference level
based on these thresholds. The BTS, then, sends a radio resource indication
message to the BSC. The BSC compares the busy and idle channels
reported in the measurement report and in the radio resource indication
message to determine whether to perform a handover. The interference band
measurement result provides reference for threshold setting and interference
analysis. For details, see GSM Rec. 08.08, 08.58, and 12.21.
If the difference between the values of two thresholds are too small, the
interference is too obvious. If the difference between the values of two
thresholds are too great, the interference is not reflected.

channels reported in the measurement report and in the radio resource
indication message to determine whether to perform a handover. The

procedure is started if the following two conditions are met: The cell
supports the directed try procedure. The load of the cell is greater than or
equal to the Cell Direct Try Forbidden Threshold.
This parameter specifies whether to support DRX. To reduce the power
consumption, the discontinuous reception mechanism (DRX) is introduced
to the GSM. The MS that supports the DRX consumes less power to receive
broadcast messages that the MSs are interested in. This prolongs the service
time of the MS battery.
The BSC that supports the DRX should send the dispatching message to
MSs so that the MSs can use the DRX function. The period occupied by
broadcast short messages that are contained in a dispatching message is
called a dispatching period. The description and position of the broadcast
short message are contained in the dispatching message in the sending
sequence.
This parameter specifies the data service supported.
This value of the parameter can be set as required.

1000000000: indicates that only the T1200/75 data service is supported.
If this parameter is set to StartUp, the BTS transmit power is adjusted to the
maximum before the BSC sends a handover command to the MS. In
addition, the BTS transmit power is not adjusted during the handover to
ensure the success of the handover.
When the receive level of an MS drops rapidly, a handover occurs. In this
case, the BSC cannot adjust the transmit power of the MS and BTS in time.
The MS may fail to receive the handover command, thus leading to the call
drop.
This parameter specifies whether the BTS reports the voice quality index
(VQI). If this parameter is set to Report, the BTS reports the VQI. The BSC
measures the traffic on a per VQI basis. There are 11 levels of speech
quality. If the level is low, the speech quality is good. The traffic related to
AMR and non-AMR is measured separately, and thus the speech quality is
monitored.

In the Huawei II power control algorithm, the quality zone is divided into
three grades (0, 1-2, 3) based on the receive quality (RQ). Every quality

When the power control step is calculated based on the signal quality, the
upper threshold and the lower threshold of the stable state quality zone are
set. When the signal quality exceeds the upper threshold or is below the
lower threshold, power control is performed. This parameter specifies the

This parameter specifies the number of downlink measurement reports used

adjustment.
This parameter specifies the number of uplink measurement reports used for
predicting the level in power control.

This parameter specifies whether the compensation of AMR measurement
reports is allowed by Huawei II power control algorithm.
When this parameter is set to Yes, the Huawei II power control algorithm
puts the currently received measurement reports in the measurement report
compensation queue and then records the change of the transmit power
based on the MS power and the BTS power in the measurement report.
After values are added in the measurement report, compensate the receive
level value in the history measurement report based on the change of the
power.
When determining whether to perform power control, the BSC performs
weighted filtering on the values of the receive level and of the receive
quality in several history measurement reports. The measurement reports
may be obtained at different transmit power of the BTS/MS. To ensure the
accuracy of the values for filtering, the values in the history measurement
reports that are obtained at a different transmit power from the current

After the BSC delivers the power control command, it should wait for a
certain period before receiving an acknowledgement message. Therefore,
the MR that power control decision is based on cannot accurately reflect the
radio environment of the BTS during the power adjustment, but misses the
latest changes of the receive level and receive quality of the BTS. Thus, the
power adjustment is delayed.

implements the prediction and filtering function. In other words, the BSC
samples several downlink measurement reports, performs weighted filtering,
and predicts N measurement reports from the current time onwards in a
short period.

This parameter specifies the signal strength filter period in the transfer
mode, which is used to set the signal strength filter period of the MS in the
packet transfer mode.
This parameter is used by the signal strength filter for power control to
periodically filter the signal level in the packet transfer mode. This
parameter is used when the MS measures the downlink signal strength in the
packet transfer mode and calculates Cn of the MS output power. The
parameter specifies the relation between Cn and Cn-1.
This parameter specifies the signal strength filter period in the packet idle
mode, which is used to set the signal strength filter period of the MS in the

uplink PDCH, namely, PCH.
When the MS uses the GPRS dynamic power control, this parameter
determines the reduced level of the MS transmit power mapping to the path
loss.
This parameter specifies the maximum value of N3105.
After a downlink TBF is established, the network initiates the N3105.
Upon setting the RRBP field in the downlink RLC data block, the network
resets the N3105 when it receives the packet acknowledgment message from
the MS on the uplink RLC data block corresponding to the RRBP field;
otherwise, the network increases N3105 by one and resends the downlink
data block in which the RRBP field is set.
When N3105 overflows, the network initiates the T3195. When the timer
T3195 expires, the current TBF abnormally releases.
This parameter specifies the maximum value of the N3103.
Upon receiving the last RLC data block when the uplink transmission is
complete, the network sends the MS a Packet Uplink Ack/Nack message
with FAI=1 and initiates the N3103.
If the network does not receive a packet control acknowledgment message
within scheduled time, the N3103 increases by one and the network resends
the Packet Uplink Ack/Nack message.
When this counter overflows, the network initiates the T3169. When this
timer expires, the current TBF abnormally releases.
In uplink dynamic assignment mode, the multiple MSs can share one uplink
channel if the downlink data blocks carry the USF value.
After the network starts to assign a USF value to the uplink TBF (uplink
TBF is established), the N3101 is initiated. The network reserves the RLC
uplink blocks mapping to each USF for the uplink data sent from the MS. If
the network receives valid uplink data blocks from the MS, the network
resets the N3101; otherwise, the N3101 increases by one.
When this counter overflows, the current uplink TBF abnormally releases.
This parameter specifies the release delay of the downlink TBF.
After sending the last downlink RLC data block and confirming that all
downlink data blocks are received, the network does not immediately notify
the MS of releasing this TBF but forcedly set the last data block not
received. Therefore, keep this TBF unreleased by continuously resending
the last downlink data block with the Relative Reserved Block Period
(RRBP) flag. During the release delay of a downlink TBF, as long as the
upper layer of the network has a requirement of downlink data transmission,
the extracted downlink RLC blocks can be sent on this downlink TBF. At
the same time, the status of the downlink TBF changes from release delay to
downlink transmission. In addition, during the release delay, the MS must
send the Packet Downlink Ack/Nack message on the uplink data block
corresponding to the RRBP to maintain the communication with the
network. Therefore, when the MS needs to send the uplink data, it can send
an uplink request through Channel Request Description carried in the
Packet Downlink Ack/Nack message.
The value 0 specifies that release delay function of the downlink TBF is
disabled.
This parameter specifies the inactive period of the extended uplink TBF.
Upon receiving the last uplink RLC data blocks (CountValue=0) from the
MS that supports the extended uplink TBF function, the network does not
release this uplink TBF immediately but set it to the inactive mode. To
transmit the uplink RLC data blocks during inactive period, the MS can use
this TBF that automatically becomes active instead of establishing a new
uplink TBF. When the inactive period expires, if no uplink RLC data block
needs to be transmitted, the network sends the MS a Packet Uplink Ac
message with FAI=1 to notify the MS of releasing the uplink TBF. In
addition, when an uplink TBF is inactive, a downlink TBF can still establish
on this uplink TBF.
The extended uplink TBF function can greatly improve the network KPIs,
especially for the discontinuous uplink transmission (such as interactive
transmission and Ping) services.
The value 0 specifies that the extended uplink TBF function is disabled
(Also deactivate this function on the BSC side).
This parameter specifies the release delay of the non-extended uplink TBF.
Upon receiving the last uplink RLC data block (CountValue=0), the
network sends the MS a Packet Uplink Ack/Nack message with FAI=1 to
notify the MS of releasing this uplink TBF. To establish the downlink TBF
on the unreleased uplink TBF, the network will notify the MS of releasing
this uplink TBF for a period of delay after this parameter is set. After the
downlink TBF establishes successfully or after the delay time exceeds the
setting time of non-extended uplink TBF, this uplink TBF will automatically
release.

threshold.
This parameter specifies that the accumulatively calculated number of times

handover, bi-directional handover between overlaid subcell and underlaid
subcell, and no handover between between overlaid subcell and underlaid

than the upper limit of the bandwidth for the POC services.
This parameter specifies whether to support the packet assignment, that is,
the assignment of the packet channel to the MS through the PACCH, this
only involves the takeover of the uplink immediate assignment. To improve
the speed of the MS to access the network, after the packet assignment is
taken over to the BTS, the BSC reserves uplink resources for the BTS. The
BTS obtains the channel request information of the MS by interpreting the
downlink acknowledgment message from the MS, and assigns the reserved
uplink resources to the MS. Then, the MS can send the data blocks.
This parameter specifies whether to support the takeover of the packet
immediate assignment by the BTS. It is relative to the uplink immediate
assignment.
To improve the speed of the MS to access the network, the BSS pre-
allocates the uplink TBF resources and sends these resources to the BTS.
When the MS initiates the channel request, the BTS uses the pre-allocated
resources to send the immediate assignment message to the MS. Upon
receiving the immediate assignment message sent by the BTS, the MS can
upload the data block. Meanwhile, the BTS needs to send the additional
channel request message to the BSC. Upon receiving this request message,
the BSC sends the additional immediate assignment message to the BTS to
complete the setup of the TBF process.
When both the MS and the network support PFC, the QoS parameters are
obtained from the ABQP in the PFC.
When the MS or the network does not support PFC, the QoS parameters are
obtained from the DL UNITDAT of the SGSN or from the uplink request of
the MS.

the MS to calculate the measurement results.
This parameter specifies the mode of controlling the quality of links. During
the data transmission process, the modulation scheme and coding scheme
can be changed to dynamically adapt to the radio transmission environment,
thus improving the quality of links.
- Setting and effect
Link Adaption (LA): The network dynamically adjusts the coding scheme of
a channel based on the transmission quality of the channel link. The link
quality is determined by 8PSK MEAN BEP and 8PSK CV BEP carried in
the Packet EGPRS Downlink Ack/Nack message. The network selects a
proper coding scheme for transmission based on the measurement reports
from the MS. For cells with good Um interface quality, the LA mode is
usually used.
Incremental Redundancy (IR): The network should retransmit only different
data blocks with the puncturing coding scheme. The MS buffers the history
error information and the data blocks are retransmitted through combined
error correction. In the cell with bad Um interface quality, the IR mode can
achieve good transmission quality, but the MS must support this mode. For
cells with bad Um interface quality, the IR mode is usually used.

the CS services cannot preempt the dynamic channels that carry services.
This parameter specifies the timer set to release the idle dynamic channel
after all TBFs on the dynamic channel are released.
If all TBFs on a dynamic channel are released, the dynamic channel is not
released immediately. Instead, a timer is started when the channel is idle.
Before the timer expires, if there are new services, the dynamic channel
continues to be used and the timer is stopped.

This parameter specifies whether GPRS Cell Reselect Hysteresis is applied
to the C31 standards.
c31standard: applied
c31notuse: not applied
This parameter specifies the hysteresis of cell reselection in the same
routing area.
When an MS in the ready state performs cell reselection, if the originating
cell and the target cell belong to the same routing area, the C2 value
measured in the overlapped area of two adjacent cells fluctuates greatly
because of the fading feature of radio channels. Therefore, the MS
frequently performs cell reselection. The frequent cell reselection not only
increases the signaling flow on the network and affects the utilization of
radio resources, but also greatly affects the data transmission rate of the MS
and decreases the QoS as a consequence.
When this parameter is used, the MS starts cell reselection only when the
signal level of the neighbor cells in the same routing area is higher than that
of this cell, and when the signal level difference is greater than the value of
this parameter.
If this parameter is set to an excessive value, it is hard to start cell
reselection.

moving MS. Therefore, the MS does not select this cell when the duration
of signal strength on the BCCH is shorter than the penalty time.
Value infinity indicates an infinity offset.
This parameter specifies the interval between two extension measurement
reports.
This parameter specifies the type of the extension measurement report
Three types of the extension measurement report are type 1, type 2, and type
3.
Type 1: The MS sends the measurement report of the six strongest carriers
to the network regardless of whether the BSIC was decoded. The
measurement report should contain the received signal level and BSIC.
Type 2: The MS sends the measurement report of the six strongest carriers
to the network. For the six carriers, the BSIC must be decoded successfully
and the NCC specified by NCC_PERMITTED is carried. The measurement
report should contain the received signal level and BSIC.
Type 3: The MS does not need to decode the BSIC of the carriers that send
the measurement report. The measurement report should contain the
received signal level and interference measurement of a carrier.
This parameter specifies the frequency index of the interference
measurement in type 3 of the extension measurement report.
This parameter specifies the NCC bitmap of the measurement report sent by
the MS. The MS reports only the NCC bitmap of the BSIC and the carrier

No: not supported
This parameter specifies the routing area color code of a GPRS cell.
This parameter specifies the priority of packet access of MSs to a cell. The
2bit Radio Priority message carried by the MS in the Packet Channel
Request message has four levels of priorities. Level 1 is the highest priority,
and level 4 is the lowest priority. When an MS accesses the network, the
BSC compares the Radio Priority in the Channel Request message with the
parameter setting in the cell. The BSC requests for establishing the TBF for
a channel only when the radio priority reaches the access priority of the cell.
The values of this parameter area as follows:
No packet access
Packet access of level 1
Packet access of levels 1-2
This parameter specifies whether the SPLIT_PG_CYCLE parameter is
transmitted on the CCCH of the cell.
SPLIT_PG_CYCLE is used to set the DRX period. For the BTS and MS
supporting the SPLIT_PG_CYCLE-based paging groups on the CCCH, this
parameter is optional.
Yes: The SPLIT_PG_CYCLE parameter is transmitted on the CCCH of the
cell.
No: The SPLIT_PG_CYCLE parameter is not transmitted on the CCCH of
the cell.
In the cell reselection required by the network, the network requests the MS
to send measurement reports to control its cell reselection. There are three
network control modes.
nc0: Normal MS control. The MS performs automatic cell reselection.
nc1: MS control with measurement reports. The MS sends measurement
reports to the network and performs automatic cell reselection.
nc2: Network control. The MS sends measurement reports to the network
but does not perform automatic cell reselection.
This parameter specifies the value of PAN_MAX. It is also the maximum
value of N3102.
Value 4 indicates that PAN_MAX is 4; value 32 indicates that PAN_MAX
is 32; value No use indicates that this parameter is not used.
This parameter is used to set the value of N3102. When the MS receives a
Packet Downlink Ack/Nack message from the network for increasing the
value of V(S) or V(A), the MS increases N3102 by PAN_INC.
Value 0 indicates that PAN_INC is 0; value 7 indicates that PAN_INC is 7;
value No use indicates that this parameter is not used.
This parameter is used to set the value of N3102. When T3182 expires, the
MS decreases N3102 by PAN_DEC.
Value 0 indicates that PAN_DEC is 0; value 7 indicates that PAN_DEC is
7; value No use indicates that this parameter is not used.
This parameter specifies the maximum countdown value of the MS.
This parameter determines BS_CV_MAX and is used for the MS to
calculate the CV. The parameter also determines the duration of the T3198
timer.
Every time the MS sends an uplink RLC data block, the receive state of the
data block is set to Pending and the T3198 is started. If the MS receives a
Packet Uplink Ack/Nack message before T3198 expires, it updates the
receive state of each uplink RLC data block based on the acknowledgment
bitmap contained in the message. If T3198 for the RLC data block in the
Pending state expires, the MS sets the receive state of this data block to
Nack and retransmits the data block.
This parameter specifies the acknowledgment message type used by the MS.
If four access pulses are used, the timing advance can be obtained without a
polling message.
If the RLC/MAC control block is used, the timing advance can be obtained
only by sending a polling message. Four access pulses are recommended.
This parameter specifies the access burst type used by the MS on the
PRACH and PTCCH/U. The access burst type is carried in the packet
control acknowledgment message.
8bit: access using the 8-bit burst
SI13 indicates the access burst type.
This parameter specifies the maximum duration of the non-DRX mode.
DRX (discontinuous reception) is a parameter carried by the cell broadcast
message.
The MS stays in the DRX mode for a certain period when changing from
the packet transfer mode to the packet idle mode. After the TBF is released,
the MS monitors all the CCCH blocks during the non-DRX mode period
and the BSC6000 reserves the MS context. The reservation time depends on
the smaller value between DRX_Timer_Max and NON_DRX_TIMER.
NON_DRX_TIMER is negotiated with the SGSN during the GPRS
attachment of the MS and its value is usually high. Therefore, the
reservation time actually depends on DRX_TIMER_MAX.
Value 0 indicates that the MS enters the DRX mode immediately.
Value 1 indicates that the MS enters the DRX mode one second later. Value
n indicates that the MS enters the DRX mode n seconds later.
This parameter specifies the timer set for the MS to wait for the TBF release
after receiving the last data block.
When the MS receives the last RLC data block carrying the last block flag
(FBI=1) and confirms that all the RLC data blocks on the TBF are received,
the MS sends the Packet Downlink Ack/Nack message carrying the final
acknowledgement flag (FAI=1) and starts T3192 at the same time.
If T3192 expires, the MS releases the TBF resources and monitors paging
channels. During the TBF release process, if the MS is in half-duplex mode
and receives the Packet Uplink Assignment message, the MS responds
immediately.
If the MS does not receive the Packet Uplink Assignment message during
the TBF release process, the MS enters the packet idle mode. If the MS is in
dual transfer mode, it enters the dedicated mode.
This parameter specifies the timer set for the MS to wait for the Packet
Uplink Assignment message.
This parameter specifies the maximum interval set for the MS to wait for the
Packet Uplink Assignment message. After the MS sends the Packet
Resource Request or Packet Downlink Ack/Nack message carrying Channel
Request Description, T3168 is started to wait for the Packet Uplink
Assignment message from the network.
If the MS receives the Packet Uplink Assignment message before T3168
expires, T3168 is reset. Otherwise, the MS initiates the PS access procedure
again for four times. If the Packet Uplink Assignment message is still not
received, the MS regards that this uplink TBF establishment has failed.
Based on the paging channel used by the system, the network operation
modes are classified into Network Operation Mode I, Network Operation
Mode II, and Network Operation Mode III.
When the GS interface is configured, Network Operation Mode I is used.
When the Gs interface or the PCCCH is not configured, Network Operation
Mode II is used.
When the Gs interface is not configured but the PCCCH is configured,
Network Operation Mode III is used.

FH and frame FH, but do not support the cross-
cabinet baseband FH.
Adjust the cell coverage area by configuring the
Power Level; however, when the antenna is over high
and covers too many cells, you should lower the
antenna and increase the tilt of the antenna first.
When the transmit power of a BTS reduces, the
indoor coverage becomes worse.
Generally, for cells of the same priority in a network,
the power level configuration should ensure that the
EIRPs of the cells are basically the same.
When configuring the power level, you should note
that different TRXs in a cell can have different losses
due to different combination modes.

The discontinuous transmission (DTX) function
allows a transmitter to stop power transmission in the
case of no voice transfer. This function has the
following benefits:
2. On the downlink: decreasing power consumption
of the BTS, reducing system interference, and
reducing intermodulation inside the BTS
3. From the network perspective, the inter-frequency
interference is reduced and the network quality is
improved.
The DL DTX function is also restricted by the
MSC.To enable this function, the DTX function must
be enabled on the MSC side.
If downlink DTX is disabled on the MSC side,
downlink DTX cannot be used irrespective of the

If this parameter is set too small, it cannot correctly
indicate the idle state of the current SDCCHs and
consequently the rollback of SDCCHs immediately
triggers adjustment and affects the network

If this parameter is set too large, the channel
allocation algorithm becomes less sensitive and
consequently the SDCCHs stay in idle state and
cannot be rolled back for a long period of time.
If this parameter is set too small, the SDCCHs in the

cannot be initiated, thus affecting the access of users.
It is meaningless to set the parameter too large.
If this parameter is set too large and consequently

be used. That is, the frequency band of the
preferentially reassigned channel is different from
what is used in the original assignment.

If this parameter is set to Yes, the BSC initiates a re-
assignment when receiving an assignment failure
message from the Um interface. This helps to
improve the call completion rate and the QoS of the

Properly setting this parameter can increase the
paging success rate. If this parameter is set to a too
great value, congestion may occur.
For the BTS2X series (excluding the BTS24), this
parameter must be set according to the actual
receiver sensitivity of the BTS and the minimum
access level of the MS to ensure the balance between
the uplink and the downlink. This parameter also
affects handover access of RACH BURST during
asynchronous handover.
For the BTS3X series and double-transceiver BTSs,
this parameter does not affect MS access but affects
the reporting of CCCH_LOAD_IND. If the level
received by the BCCH on the network side is greater
than the RACH Busy Threshold, the
CCCH_LOAD_IND is counted once whether the
decoding is successful. The RACH whose level is
lower than the RACH Busy Threshold and whose
decoding is successful is also counted. The
measurement period is the Average RACH Load
Timeslot Number.
If the value of this parameter is too small, the BTS
easily considers that the RACH timeslot is busy and
reports overload messages to the BSC. If the value is
too great, the BTS cannot determine the status of the
RACH timeslot correctly.
For the BTS24, if this parameter is used to determine
busy timeslot, its setting is consistent with that in the
BTS30. If this parameter is the level threshold for
valid random access, its setting is consistent with that
in the BTS20.
The settings of the BTS312, BTS3001C,
BTS3001C+, BTS3002C, and double-transceiver
BTS must be consistent with the meaning and
requirement of the BTS30.
If the value of this parameter does not match with the

The physical information is sent over the FACCH.
Four TDMA frames are sent each time at the interval
of 18 ms. If the value of T3105 is smaller than or
equal to 18 ms, the BTS needs to retransmit the
physical information to the MS when the timer
T3105 expires for the first time.If the transmission of
the physical information over the FACCH is not
complete, the expiration is invalid because the time is
shorter than an FACCH period.Considering the
previous factors, 20 ms is the reasonable minimum
value for this parameter. At present, the default value
of this parameter is 70 ms.

This parameter, together with Forbidden time after
MAX Times, determines the frequency of intra-cell
handovers.
This parameter to used to disable the intra-cell
handover for a certain period.
If this parameter is set to a too small value, the intra-
cell handover may not be timely; if this parameter is
set to a too great value, the system resources may be
wasted when intra-cell handovers occur frequently.
When the cell radius is fixed, the smaller the value of
this parameter is (the required velocity is higher), the
more the difficult fast-moving micro-to-macro cell
handover can be triggered.
The more the micro cells are configured, the more
difficult the fast-moving micro-to-macro cell
The more the micro cells are configured, the more
difficult the fast-moving micro-to-macro cell
system traffic volume cannot be reduced effectively;
if this parameter is set to a too small value, the
judgment on whether the MS fast passes a cell may
be incorrect.
The setting of this parameter affects the width of the
handover strip during load handover.
The setting of this parameter affects the load
handover time. If it is set to a too greater value, the
handover time of each level is long.
The setting of this parameter determines the
maximum width of the handover strip during load
handover.
The setting of this parameter affects the load
handover targeted to the cell. If it is set to a lower
value, the number of handover requests that are
rejected increases.
The setting of this parameter affects the triggering of
the load handover. If it is set to a lower value, the
number of load handovers increases.
The value of this parameter should not be set too
high. Load handover is allowed only when the system
flow is lower than the setting of this parameter.
Otherwise, the load on the system is increased.

For the AMR calls, this parameter, together with
RXQUALn, is used in interference handover
decision. An uplink interference handover is easily
triggered if this parameter is set to a small value.
This parameter is used in handover decision. An
uplink interference handover is easily triggered if this
parameter is set to a too small value.
If the number of consecutive measurement reports
without the downlink measurement report is greater
than the value of this parameter, the handover
decision related to no downlink measurement report
is not performed. Therefore, if this parameter is set to
a lower value, the no downlink measurement report
handover cannot be triggered.
The handover decision is allowed only when the
uplink receive quality is greater than or equal to the
value of this parameter. Therefore, if this parameter
is set to a higher value, the no downlink measurement
report handover cannot be triggered.
This parameter is set according to the traffic volume.
If this parameter is set to a higher value, a more rapid
level drop is required for triggering a rapid level drop
handover.
Filter parameters A1 to A8 must meet the following
requirement: A1 + A2 + A3 + A4 + A5 + A6 + A7 +
A8 = 80. The settings of A1 to A8 reflect the number
of MRs in which the receive level drops rapidly.
BQ handover of non-AMR calls. If it is set to a lower

QDR hoThresholdsQualDL
This parameter determines the cell coverage for the
TA emergency handover. In the areas with small
space between BTSs and densely distributed BTSs,
the coverage of the cell can be reduced if this
parameter is set to a lower value.
When this parameter is set to 0 and if the
measurement report indicates that DTX is not used,
the FULLSET values should be selected. When this
parameter is set to 0 and if the measurement report
indicates that DTX is used, the SUBSET values
should be selected. In latter cases, the SUBSET
values should be used irrespective of how DTX is
indicated in the subsequent measurement reports.
When this parameter is set to 1, whether the
FULLSET values or the SUBSET values should be
selected depends on the DTX indication bit in the
measurement report. That is, if the measurement
report indicates that DTX is used, the SUBSET
values should be selected; otherwise, the FULLSET
values should be selected.
If this parameter is set to a too great value, the target
cell for the previous handover will not be selected for
the next handover, but the probability of call drop
increases. If this parameter is set to a too small value,
the probability of handover failure increases.
the filtered value is inaccurate. Once set, this
parameter should not be modified.
The greater the value of this parameter is, the longer
the penalty time after AMR TCHF-H HO Fail is. In
other words, triggering AMR handover becomes
more difficult.
If this parameter is set to a lower value, the MS is
thus leading to ping-pong handovers. If this
parameter is set to a higher value, the MS is unlikely
to be handed over to the original serving cell.
This parameter specifies the penalty level imposed
on a target cell. A penalty level is imposed on a
target cell to avoid further attempts when a handover
fails due to any of the following reasons: cell
congestion, a message indicating internal handover
refusal is received, a message indicating Um
interface handover failure is received during out-
going BSC handover, or a message indicating Um
interface handover failure is received during internal
handover. This parameter is valid only within the
duration of the cell penalty time.
When this parameter is set to a higher value, the
impact of sudden changes is reduced, and the system
response is delayed. Thus, the network performance
is degraded.
When this parameter is set to an excessive value, the
is degraded.
When this parameter is set to a higher value, the
is degraded.
This parameter helps to avoid sharp drop of signal
levels caused by Raileigh Fading and to ensure
correct handover decisions. When this parameter is
set to a higher value, the impact of sudden changes is
reduced, and the system response is delayed. Thus,
the network performance is degraded.
Measurement reports fail to be decoded correctly
when the signal strength in the serving cell is poor.
When the number of consecutive MRs that are lost is
greater than the value of this parameter, all previous
measurement reports are discarded and the handover
may fail. Therefore, Huawei recommends that this
parameter be set to a great value for emergency
handovers.
If the receive level of an adjacent cell is greater than
or equal to the value of this parameter, this adjacent
cell can be selected as a candidate cell for directed
retry.
This parameter should be set on the basis of the data
rate and flow on the Abis interface. If the
preprocessed MR is sent at a high frequency, the
flow on the Abis interface is increased.
When MR preprocessing is enabled, the UL and DL
balance measurement is affected if Transfer BS/MS
Power Class is set to No. In addition, the handovers
(such as PBGT handovers, load handovers, and
concentric cell handovers) that require power
compensation may fail.
In 4:1 multiplexing mode, if there are more than two
timeslots configured in SDCCH/8 scheme, then this
parameter should be set to No.
When this parameter is set to NO, the BSC
preprocesses the measurement reports. In this case,
the Transfer Original MR, Transfer BS/MS Power
Class, and Sent Freq.of preprocessed MR parameters
are invalid.
When this parameter is set to YES, the signaling on
the Abis interface and the load of the BSC are
reduced. Thus, the response time is shortened and the
network performance is improved.
When setting this parameter, you should determine
whether the BTS supports the configured power
control algorithms.
If this parameter is set to Yes, the MS does not use
the maximum transmit power, and thus the handover
success rate is decreased, but the network
interference is reduced.

Huawei recommends that this parameter be set to
Yes. If you need to disable the penalty for a certain
handover, set the related penalty time and penalty
level to 0.
This parameter should be set to Yes if the inter-BSC
SDCCH handover is allowed.
If this parameter is set to a too small value, frequent

handovers cannot be avoided. If this parameter is set
to a too great value, handovers cannot be performed

This parameter is used to avoid unwanted handovers
due to inaccurate measurement reports generated in
the initial phase of call establishment.
If measurement reports are processed on the BTS
side, you can set Report Frequency of the
Preprocessed Measurement Reports smaller than the
report frequency of the measurement reports from the
MS. Therefore, it is recommended that Min Interval
for SDCCH HOs be set to a small value.
If measurement reports are processed on the BSC
side, the frequency of receiving measurement reports
on the BSC side is greater than that on the BTS side.
Therefore, it is recommended that Min Interval for
SDCCH HOs be set to a great value.
This parameter can be used to avoid unwanted
handovers due to inaccurate measurement reports in

According to the P/N criterion, if the load of a non-
BCCH frequency is higher than the Load Threshold
for TIGHT BCCH HO, the MS with conversation
quality higher than the RX_QUAL Threshold for
TIGHT BCCH HO and far from the cell edge is
handed over to the TCH on the BCCH frequency.
Thus, the TCHs on non-BCCH frequencies are
reserved for other calls. This ensures the call
performance of other calls.

1. This parameter must be properly set because it
limits the number of candidate cells. If this parameter
is set to a too great value, some desired cells may be
excluded from the candidate cells. If this parameter is
set to a too small value, an unwanted cell may
become the candidate cell. This leads to handover
failures or call drops.
2. A cell can become a candidate cell only when the
receive level minus this parameter is greater than the
minimum access level offset.

The lower the layer is, the higher the priority is. The
lower the hierarchy is, the higher the priority is. The
layered hierarchical handover cannot be triggered if
the serving cell has the highest priority in the queue
or if the level of the target cell is lower than the Inter-
layer HO Threshold.
If this parameter is set to Yes, a call is handed over
to the target cell that has a higher priority than the
serving cell.
Huawei recommends that the PBGT handover
algorithm be enabled. Proper use of PBGT
handovers helps to reduce cross coverage and to
avoid co-channel interference and adjacent channel
interference.
EPB enablePwrBudgetHandover
In dual-band networking mode for densely populated
urban areas, the level drops rapidly due to multiple
barriers. The propagation loss of the 1800 MHz
frequency band is greater than the propagation loss of
the 900 MHz frequency band. Considering the
preceding factors, you can enable the
Rx_Level_Drop HO Allowed for the DCS1800 cell.
Under normal conditions, this parameter is set to No.
To support the rapid level drop handover, the BSC
must have the original MR.
It is recommended that this handover be applied only
in special areas such as highways to reduce the CPU
load. The fast-moving micro-to-macro cell handover
algorithm is used only in special conditions.

QUA cellBarQualify
The MS obtains C1 and C2 of the serving cell at a
minimum interval of 5s. When necessary, the MS re-
calculates C1 and C2 value of all non-serving cells
(adjacent cells). The MS constantly checks whether a
cell reselection is required by referring to following
conditions:
Whether the path loss (C1) of the current serving cell
drops below 0 within 5s.If yes, the path loss is too
large.
C2 of an appropriate non-serving cell exceeds that of
the serving cell in 5s and the following conditions are
met:
(broadcast in the system information 3 and 4 of the
serving cell) exceeds C2 of the serving cell in 5s.
A cell reselection is performed in the last 15s, and
the C2 of the new cell minus 5 dB constantly exceeds
the C2 of the serving cell in 5s.
A better cell exists if the above conditions are met.If
a better cell exists, the MS reselects a cell,and does
not go to the previous cell within 5s.
PI cellReselectParamInd
An MS does not respond to pagings during location
update. Thus, the connection rate drops if cell
reselection is performed.
If this parameter is set to a too small value, ping-
pong location updates occur and the signaling load
on the SDCCH increases.
If this parameter is set to a too great value, the cell
that the MS camps on for a long time may not be the
best after the LA changes.
HYS cellReselectHysteresis
It is recommended that you select a greater value,
such as 16, 20, or 25, in the area with heavy traffic,
but a smaller value, such as 2 or 3, in the area with
light traffic.
To properly specify the value of this parameter, it is
necessary to perform overall and long-term
measurement on the entities involved regarding their
processing capability and traffic, such as the
processing capability of the MSC and BSC, and the
load on the A interface, Abis interface, Um interface,
HLR, and VLR.
The location update period in the MSC must be
greater than that in the BSC.
In the GSM system, it is possible that a powered-on
MS is identified as implicit off-line if the MS sends
no location update request within a long period.
When the MS reselects another cell (in the same
LAC), the MS is restarted through T3212 timeout if
the T3212 of the new cell differs from that of the
original cell.
When this parameter differs in the cells of the same
LAC, it is possible that the MS is identified as
implicit off-line if the MS sends no location update
request for a long period. In this case, system plays
"The subscriber you dial is power off." even though
the called MS is on.
In an LAC, the value of this parameter should be the
same in all cells.
PER timerPeriodicUpdateMS
The larger this parameter is set, the larger the number
of paging sub-channels in a cell and the smaller the
number of MSs on each paging sub-channel. Setting
this parameter larger can prolong the average service

The CBA function applies to special conditions. If
this parameter is set to 1 and Cell Bar Quality (CBQ)
is set to 0, only handovers are allowed in a cell, and
direct access of an MS is not allowed. This condition
applies to a dual-network coverage cell. For a
common cell, this parameter should be set to 0.
The value of CBA affects the network access of an
MS.
BAR cellBarred
If the number of RACH conflicts in a cell is small, T
should be set to a great value. If the number of
RACH conflicts in a cell is large, T should be set to a
small value. The increase in T and S prolongs the
access time of an MS, thus affecting the access
performance of the whole network. Therefore,
appropriate values should be selected for T and S.
When the network traffic is heavy, the success rate of
immediate assignment is low if the sum of S and T is
low. Thus, the value of T should be properly adjusted
to make the sum of S and T great.

otherwise, the synchronous handover is performed.
If the parameter is set too small, a wrong decision
might be made in TRX aiding detection; if the
parameter is set too large, a faulty main-BCCH might
lead to delayed triggering of TRX aiding function
after cell initialization.
If this parameter is set to a too small value, the BSC
initiates cell flow control when receiving the RACH
overload message from the BTS. That is, the
minimum receive level of MSs is increased to reduce
RACH access requests.
If this parameter is set to a too great value, the BTS

the MSC may initiate flow control. If the value of
this parameter is too great, the BTS sends overload
indication messages to the BSC only when a large
number of MSs access the network and when the
system resources are insufficient. Therefore, the
access requests on the RACH and all the messages on
the PCH are discarded.
signaling traffic on the Abis interface increases and
thus the load of the BSC increases. If the value of
this parameter is too great, the BSC cannot process
the exceptions in the BTS in time.
If this parameter is set to a too small value, RF
resource status is reported frequently and thus the
load of the BSC is increased. If this parameter is set
to a too great value, RF resource status is not updated
in time. Therefore, the BSC cannot handle the
interference in the BTS in time.
If this parameter is set to a too small value, radio
resource indication messages are reported frequently

If the value of this parameter is too great, the BTS
power reduces too much. If the value of this
parameter is too small, the BTS power reduces less
and the power reduction effect is not good.

assigns the radio resources to the MS), the network
cannot release this TBF, thus wasting the network
resources.
Based on the actual condition of existing network
(for example, the N3105 overflow caused by the bad
Um interface quality, the unstable transmission link
quality, and the MS activities), you should properly
adjust this parameter to ensure the downlink TBF
does not abnormally release due to the frequent
overflow of the N3105.
If this parameter is set to a lower value, the abnormal
uplink TBF release increases caused by the overflow
of the N3103.
If this parameter is set to a higher value, the release
time of the uplink TBF delays due to no response of
the MS caused by the bad Um interface quality, thus
occupying the link resources of system.
adjust this parameter to ensure the uplink TBF does
not abnormally release due to the frequent overflow
of the N3101.
If this parameter is set to a lower value, the tolerance
of the network to uplink errors decreases and the
probability of the frequent TBF release increases.

received the message of current cell in the network
caused by the MS activities, the network still assigns
the uplink resources to the MS), the network cannot
release this TBF, thus wasting the network resources.
adjust this parameter to ensure the uplink TBF does
not abnormally release due to the frequent overflow
of the N3101.
If this parameter is set to a higher value, this wastes
the wireless resources and influences the the access
performance of other MSs in the network, thus
causing the useless signaling seizing the channel
bandwidth and wasting the downlink resources.
If this parameter is set to a lower value, the uplink
TBF frequently releases and establishes, thus
increasing the delay for the delay tests of the Attach
and Ping services. The original downlink TBF is
released immediately and cannot be used to transmit
subsequent downlink data. Therefore, a new TBF
must be established. The original downlink TBF also
cannot be used for a new requirement of uplink data
transmission. Therefore, the duration and success rate
of the TBF establishment are greatly affected.
If this parameter is set to a higher value, the release
delay of the uplink TBF increases, thus wasting the
uplink resources.
If this parameter is set to a lower value, the uplink
TBF frequently releases and establishes, thus
increasing the delay for the delay tests of the Attach
and Ping services. The most optimized value should
be a little greater than the interval between two
discontinuous uplink transmissions.
If this parameter is set to a higher value, this can
increase the probability of establishing the downlink
TBF on the PACCH, thus greatly reducing the
downlink TBF establishment time; however, if the
MS needs to send new uplink data, because the
BSC6000 does not support the uplink establishment
function on the uplink at present, the reserved uplink
TBF must be released and a new TBF must be
established to transmit the new data. Therefore, the
overall transmission performance decreases.
If this parameter is set to a lower value, this can
decrease the probability of establishing the downlink
TBF on the PACCH. The downlink TBF must
establish on the CCCH, thus increasing the
establishment time.
If this parameter is set to a higher value, the load-
based reselection is triggered difficultly; if this
parameter is set to a lower value, the load-based
reselection is triggered easily.
If this parameter is set to a higher value, the number

If the value of this parameter increases, the MS can
be handed over to the target cell only if the target cell
has a higher level; conversely, the MS can be handed

If the value of this parameter is set to a modest value,

Thus, many radio resources are not used but

speed of the sliding window decreases and the
probability of the uplink TBF transmission
countdown increases, thus decreasing the
performance of uplink transmission.
To make this value more accurate, you need to
estimate the delay in the transmission between the
MS and the BSC6 first. This value is set based on the
transmission delay.
None
Some MSs do not support the 11-bit access burst.
Therefore, 8bit is recommended.
It takes a shorter time to send the Immediate
Assignment message on all PCHs and AGCHs in non-
DRX mode than in DRX mode. During the period of
non-DRX mode, the TBF establishment time
decreases, but the power consumption of the MS
increases.
In DRX mode, the MS monitors paging messages
only on the home paging group, and then receives the
Immediate Assignment message on all the paging
blocks and AGCH reservation blocks. The TBF
establishment time increases, but the power
consumption of the MS decreases.
If this parameter is set to a modest value, the TBF
establishment time increases but the power
consumption of the MS decreases. If this parameter
is set to an excessive value, the TBF establishment
time decreases but the power consumption of the MS
increases.
If this parameter is set to a higher value, the TBF
resources (including TFI and timeslots) are reserved
for a long time. If no downlink data needs to be sent,
many resources are not used but occupied for a long
time.
If the timer is set to a smaller value, the MS releases
the TBF resources within a shorter period. However,
if the network sends new downlink PDU data
packets, the network must initiate a paging or
immediate assignment procedure. Therefore, the
downlink TBF establishment takes a longer period.
If the download data packets from the network are
not received and T3192 does not expire, the network
directly sends a Packet Downlink Assignment
message to establish a new downlink TBF, thus
shortening the TBF establishment time.
On one hand, the value of the T3192 timer depends
on the average transmission interval between two
successive downlink data.
On the other hand, you need to comprehensively
analyze the traffic models of the cell and take the
service load of the cell into consideration. When
network resources are sufficient, that is the GPRS
congestion rate is low, the T3192 should be set to a
large value, shortening the time to establish new
TBFs and improving data transmission rate.
T3192
If the timer is set to a lower value, the MS can detect
the TBF establishment failure within a shorter period.
If the TBF establishment fails, the average delay of
packet access is short, but the success rate of TBF
establishment in bad radio environment decreases. In
addition, the small timer value increases the
probability of the retransmission of the packet access
request, thus increasing the probability of
reassignment by the PCU and wasting system
resources.
If the timer is set to a higher value, the MS takes a
longer period to detect the TBF establishment failure.
If the TBF establishment fails, the average delay of
packet access is long, but the success rate of TBF
establishment in bad radio environment increases.

This parameter specifies the expected uplink receive level on a new channel after an MS
is handed over to a new cell. This parameter is used for the MS Power Prediction after
HO. This parameter should be consistent with the UL RX_LEV Upper Threshold in
Huawei II power control algorithm, thus ensuring a relatively high uplink receive level on
the new channel after handover, increasing the transmit power of the MS, and avoiding
If this parameter is set to a too small value, call drop may
easily occur.
This parameter specifies the period in which penalty is performed on the adjacent cells
of the cell where a fast-moving MS is located. The adjacent cells must be located at the
Macro, Micro, or Pico layer other than the Umbrella layer.
Penalty can be performed on only the cell that is not
located at the fourth layer.
If an MS is moving fast, the BSC performs penalty on the adjacent cells of the cell where
the MS is located. This parameter specifies the penalty value. Only when the MS is
located at the Umbrella layer and the adjacent cells are located at the Macro, Micro, or
Pico layer, penalty is performed.
This parameter is valid within only the Penalty Time on Fast Moving HO.

The two intra-cell handovers that occur during the period specified by this parameter
are regarded as consecutive handovers.
This parameter, together with Forbidden time after MAX
Times, determines the frequency of intra-cell handovers.
When the number of consecutive intra-cell handovers reaches the maximum allowed, a
timer is started to forbid the intra-cell handover.
Intra-cell handovers are allowed only when the timer expires.
This parameter to used to disable the intra-cell handover
for a certain period.
This parameter determines the maximum number of consecutive intra-cell handovers
allowed.
If the interval of two continuous intra-cell handovers is shorter than a specified
threshold, the two handovers are regarded as consecutive handovers. If multiple
consecutive intra-cell handovers occur, the intra-cell handover is forbidden for a period.
If this parameter is set to a too small value, the intra-cell
handover may not be timely; if this parameter is set to a too
great value, the system resources may be wasted when
intra-cell handovers occur frequently.
The time threshold is calculated based on the cell radius (r) and the velocity (v). The
threshold equals 2r/v. If the time taken by an MS to pass a cell is smaller than this
threshold, the MS is regarded as moving fast. Otherwise, the MS is regarded as moving
slow.
When the cell radius is fixed, the smaller the value of this

In hierarchical load handover, the handover strip increases by one Load HO Step Level
for every Load HO Step Period, starting from the Edge HO DL RX_LEV Threshold. The
handovers are performed as such until all the calls whose receive levels are within the
range of (Edge HO DL RX_LEV Threshold, Edge HO DL RX_LEV Threshold + Load HO
Bandwidth) are handed off the current serving cell.
The setting of this parameter affects the width of the
handover strip during load handover.
When the load of the cell is equal to or greater than the Load HO Threshold, all the calls
served by the cell may send handover requests simultaneously, and the load on the CPU
will increase rapidly as a consequence. In some cases, call drops may occur due to traffic
congestion in the cell. Therefore, the hierarchical handover algorithm for load handover
is used for the BSC to control the number of users to be handed over by levels.
The setting of this parameter affects the load handover
time. If it is set to a too greater value, the handover time of
each level is long.
The setting of this parameter is dependent on the Edge HO DL RX_LEV Threshold
parameter.
Only when the receive level of the serving cell is within the range of (Edge HO DL RX_LEV
Threshold, Edge HO DL RX_LEV Threshold + Load HO Bandwidth), a load handover is
allowed.
The setting of this parameter determines the maximum
width of the handover strip during load handover.
If the cell load is smaller than the value of this parameter, the cell can receive the MSs
handed over from other cells. Otherwise, the cell rejects the MSs handed over from
other cells.
The setting of this parameter affects the load handover
targeted to the cell. If it is set to a lower value, the number
of handover requests that are rejected increases.
When Load HO Allowed is set to Yes, Load HO Threshold should be set to 85.
The traffic load of a cell refers to the TCH seizure rate in the cell.
The load handover is triggered when the traffic load in a cell is greater than the value of
this parameter. In other words, the load handover is triggered when the ratio of TCHs
occupied in a cell reaches the threshold defined for load handover.
The setting of this parameter affects the triggering of the
load handover. If it is set to a lower value, the number of
load handovers increases.
System flux thresholds correspond to the system flux obtained based on message
packets, CPU load, and FID queuing load. The system flux level is the current flux control
level of the system.

For the AMR calls, this parameter, together with RXQUALn, is used in interference
For the AMR calls, this parameter, together with RXQUALn,
is used in interference handover decision. An uplink
interference handover is easily triggered if this parameter is
set to a small value.
If the receive level of the serving cell is greater than or equal to 63, and if the uplink or
downlink receive quality of the non-AMR FR voice service is greater than or equal to the
value of this parameter, uplink interference or downlink interference exists.

selected. An intra-cell handover, however, is triggered if no candidate cell is available
The handover decision is allowed only when the uplink
receive quality is greater than or equal to the value of this
parameter. Therefore, if this parameter is set to a higher
value, the no downlink measurement report handover
cannot be triggered.
This parameter is used to control the no downlink measurement report handover
algorithm.
If this parameter is set to 0, the no downlink measurement report handover algorithm is
disabled. Therefore, handover decision related to no downlink measurement report is
not allowed in this cell.

has the highest priority in the queue or if the level of the
target cell is lower than the Inter-layer HO Threshold.
