T200SDCCH T200 Meaning: This parameter specifies the timeout
SDCCH value of timer T200 used for the SDCCH over the
Um interface.
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.
Unit: 5ms

Name
Recommended Value: 60

Impact on Network Performance: If timer T200 is

set to a smaller value, the transmit end may
mistakenly regard that the link is faulty and the
data transmission fails before the transmit end
receives a response from the peer end. If timer
N200 is set to a smaller value, the number of data
retransmissions is reduced and the success rate of
transmission is reduced. If timers T200 and N200
are set to greater values, the channels are seized
all along when the link is faulty. Thus, resources
are wasted.

areas, densely populated urban areas,
urban areas, suburbs, and rural areas, the
recommended value is YES; in the high-
speed circumstances, the recommended
value is NO.


INTRACELLFHHOEN Intracell F-H Meaning: Whether to allow AMR
Name
HO Allowed handovers. This parameter has no impact
on dynamic non-AMR F-H handovers.
Unit: None
Recommended Value: YES
Parameter Relationship: This parameter

is valid only when HOCTRLSWITCH
is set to HOALGORITHM1.


LoadHoEn Load Meaning: This parameter specifies
Handover whether a traffic load-sharing handover
Support is enabled. The load handover helps to
reduce cell congestion, improve success
rate of channel assignment, and balance
Name
the traffic load among cells, thus
improving the network performance.
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.
Unit: None


Name
QCKMVHOEN MS Fast Meaning: Whether to enable the fast
Moving HO moving micro-cell handover algorithm.
Allowed The fast moving micro-cell handover
algorithm enables fast moving MSs to
switch over to macro-cells, thus reducing
the handover times.
Unit: None
Recommended Value: Set this parameter

to YES only in special scenarios such as
highways.


RXQCKFALLHOEN Rx_Level_Dr Meaning: Whether to use the emergency
Name
op HO handover algorithm in case the receive
Allowed level of the MSs drops rapidly, thus
preventing call drops.
Unit: None
Recommended Value: 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 set this
parameter to YES for the DCS1800 cell.
Under normal conditions, set this
parameter to No.


Name

PBGTHOEN PBGT HO Meaning: Whether to use the PBGT
Allowed handover algorithm. PBGT handovers
are based on path loss. The PBGT
handover algorithm searches in real time
for cells that have lower path loss and
meet certain system requirements, and
decides whether to perform the
handovers. To avoid ping-pong
handovers, PBGT handovers can occur
only on TCHs and among cells on a
same layer and a same priority level.
Unit: None

Name


LEVHOEN Level HO Meaning: Whether to allow inter-layer
Allowed and inter-level handovers. The inter-
layer and inter-level handover algorithm
is achieved through the setting of
different layers and priorities for cells,
which switches traffic to cells of a
higher precedence (decided by Layer of
the cell and Cell priority together).
Unit: None

Name


FRINGEHOEN Edge HO Meaning: Whether to enable the edge
Allowed handover algorithm. When an MS makes
a call at the edge of a cell, the call may
drop if the received signal level is too
low. To avoid such a call drop, the edge
handover algorithm is involved. When
the uplink signal level of the serving cell
is less than Edge HO UL RX_LEV
Threshold or the downlink signal level
of the serving cell is less than Edge HO
DL RX_LEV Threshold, the edge
handover is triggered.
Unit: None

Name


BQHOEN BQ HO Meaning: Whether to enable the bad
Allowed quality (BQ) handover algorithm.
Whether to trigger BQ handover
depends on the uplink and downlink
transmit quality (measured by using
BER). If the uplink or downlink BQ
exceeds the BQ handover threshold,
emergency BQ handover is triggered.
The possible causes of BER increase (or
quality degradation) include too low
signal power and channel interference.
Unit: None

Name


TAHOEN TA HO Meaning: Whether to enable the time
Allowed advance (TA) handover. 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.
Unit: None

Name


CONHOEN Concentric Meaning: Whether to enable the
Circles HO concentric cell handover algorithm. The
Allowed concentric cell handover helps to
achieve wide coverage in the underlaid
subcell and aggressive frequency reuse
in the overlaid subcell and to improve
the system capacity and conversation
quality. The concentric cell handover
can be classified into two types:
handover from the underlaid subcell to
the overlaid subcell and handover from
the overlaid subcell to the underlaid
subcell.
Unit: None
Name


INTERFHOEN Interference Meaning: Whether to allow the
HO Allowed interference handover algorithm.
Interference handovers are triggered
when the receive level is higher than the

parameter is set to a smaller value, call
drops may occur due to delayed
handover; if this parameter is set to a
greater value, unnecessary handover
may be performed, thus affecting the
voice quality.
DLEDGETHRES Edge HO DL Meaning: Threshold for triggering
RX_LEV downlink edge handovers. Edge
Threshold handovers are triggered when the
downlink receive level remains lower
than this threshold. If the PBGT
handover algorithm is enabled, this
threshold can be decreased accordingly.
If the PBGT handover algorithm is
disabled, over-coverage, co-and
adjacent-channel interference may occur
when this threshold is set improperly. In
addition, to balance the receive levels on
the uplink and downlink, this threshold
needs to be adjusted according to the
handover performance statistics and

PWRSPNR Power Meaning: Finetune of the TRX power.
Finetune During the static finetune of the TRX
power, the BSC adjusts the TRX power
at a step of 0.2 dB. In some scenarios,
the losses vary depending on the
tributaries where the power is
combined, and the power difference
before and after the power output is not
an integral multiple of 2 dB. As a
result, the cabinet-top output power
cannot be adjusted at a step of 2 dB,
and the TRX output power cannot be
consistent with the cabinet-top output

ATT Attach-detach Meaning: Attach-detach Allowed (ATT). If this
Allowed parameter is set to YES, when an MS is powered off, the
network does not process any call connection for the MS
as a called party. In this way, the network processing
time and resources are saved.
Unit: None

Name


TX TX-integer Meaning: Tx-integer (T for short). This parameter
specifies the number of timeslots between two
transmissions when an MS sends multiple consecutive
channel requests.
The access algorithm is defined in GSM Rec. 04.08 to

reduce the collisions on the RACH and improve the
efficiency of the RACH. 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



Name




The timeslot for sending messages is a random value

from the collection of {0, 1..., MAX(T, 8)-1}.
The number of timeslots (excluding the timeslot used to

send messages) between two adjacent channel request
messages is a random value from the collection of {S,
S+1, ..., S+T-1}.
When T increases, the interval between two adjacent

channel requests increases, and RACH conflicts
decrease.
When S increases, the interval between two adjacent

channel request messages increases, and RACH conflicts
decrease, thus improving the usage of AGCH and
SDCCH.
The access time of the MS, however, is prolonged and

the network performance is decreased when T and S
increase. Under normal conditions, an appropriate T
value should be used to ensure that S is as low as
possible, and ensure that AGCH and SDCCH are not
overloaded.

Impact on Network Performance: 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.

BSAGBLKSRES CCCH Blocks Meaning: BS-AG-BLKS-RES, indicating the number of
Reserved for the CCCH message blocks reserved for the AGCH. After
AGCH the CCCHs are configured, the value of this parameter
indicates the actual seizure rates of the AGCHs and the
PCHs over the CCCHs.
Unit: None
Name

Impact on Network Performance: The setting of this

parameter may affect the MS paging response and
performance of the system. A greater value may decrease
the number of paging blocks, paging capacity, and
paging success rate.
BSPAMFRAMS Multi-Frames in a Meaning: Number of multiframes in a cycle on a paging
Cycle on the sub-channel. In fact, this parameter specifies the number
Paging CH of paging sub-channels that a paging channel in a cell is
divided into.
In an actual network, an MS does not listen to other

paging sub-channels but its belonging paging sub-
channel only. Refer to GSM Rec. 05.02 and GSM Rec.
05.08. The larger the value of this parameter, the more
the number of the paging sub-channels in a cell, and the
fewer the number of the users belonging to each paging
sub-channel. In this case, the mean uptime of the MS
battery can be prolonged. Refer to the computing mode
of paging group in GSM 05.02 of GSM Standards. The
larger the value of this parameter, however, the larger the
time delay of a paging message in a space segment. Thus,
the average service performance of the system lowers.
Based on the principle of ensuring that overload does not
occur to paging channels, you must set this parameter to
a value as small as possible. You must regularly measure
the overload conditions of the paging channels in a
running network and accordingly adjust the value of this
parameter properly. A paging message in a location area
must be sent in all the cells within this location area at
the same time. Therefore, the capacity of a paging
channel of each cell in a location area must be the same
or nearly the same. The capacity refers to the calculated
Name
number of paging sub-channels of each cell.

Unit: 470ms
Recommended Value: 2_M_PERIOD


to a greater value, the number of paging subchannels in a
cell increases and the number of MSs on each paging
subchannel decreases. This can prolong the average
service life of MS batteries but increase the delay of
Name
paging messages and degrade the system performance.
T3212 T3212 Meaning: This parameter specifies the length of the timer
for periodic location update.
Unit: 6min


to a smaller value, the paging success rate increases but
the load on the SDCCH also increases, thus causing
congestion on the SDCCH.
CRH Cell Reselect Meaning: Cell reselection hysteresis. This is one of the
Hysteresis parameters used for deciding whether to reselect cells in
Parameters different location areas. This parameter can avoid the
Name
increase of network signaling traffic due to frequent
location update and reduce the risk of losing paging
messages.

12dB, 14dB
Recommended Value: 6dB
Service Interrupted After Modification : No (Impact on

the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Network Performance: The MS cannot

respond to the paging during the location update, thus
decreasing the call completion rate in the system. If this
parameter is set to a smaller value, pingpong location
update may occur, thus increasing the signaling load on
the SDCCH. If this parameter is set to a greater value, the
Name
MS may not camp on an optimum cell for a long time
after entering a new location area.
PI Cell Reselect Meaning: Cell Reselect Parameters Indication (PI), sent
Parameters on the broadcast channel, indicates whether Cell
Indication Reselect Offset, Cell Reselect Temporary Offset in the
SET GCELLIDLEAD command, and Cell Reselect
Penalty Time are used.
Unit: None

Impact on Network Performance: The MS calculates C1

and C2 of the serving cell at a minimum interval of 5s.
When necessary, the MS re-calculates C1 and C2 of all
Name
non-serving cells (neighboring cells). The MS constantly
checks whether a cell reselection is required by checking
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: The C2 of a new cell in
another LAC minus CRH (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
select the previous cell within 5s.
NCCPERMIT NCC Permitted Meaning: A set of NCCs of the cells to be measured by
the MS. This parameter is an information element (IE) in
the system information type 2 and 6 messages.
If a bit of 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.
GUI Value Range: SELECTION0_PERM(Selection of 0

Perm.), SELECTION1_PERM(Selection of 1 Perm.),
SELECTION2_PERM(Selection of 2 Perm.),
SELECTION7_PERM(Selection of 7 Perm.)
Unit: None
Name
Actual Value Range: SELECTION0_PERM,

SELECTION1_PERM, SELECTION2_PERM,
SELECTION7_PERM
Recommended Value: SELECTION0_PERM-

1&SELECTION1_PERM-1&SELECTION2_PERM-
1&SELECTION7_PERM-1

Impact on Network Performance: The most significant

three bits of BSIC for all cells map with the NCC. NCC
Permitted should be set properly to avoid too many call
drops. The MS does not report the information on the
neighboring cells in the network whose corresponding
NCC bit is set to 0. Thus, this parameter should be set
properly. Otherwise, an MS during an ongoing call
cannot perform normal handover and a cross-coverage
call drop occurs. For details, see GSM Rec. 05. 08.
During an ongoing call, the MS reports to the BTS the
signal information on neighboring cells. A report covers
a maximum of six cells. Thus, the MS should report
those possible target cells, rather than selecting cells only
Name
based on the signal level. Generally, the MS does not
report the information on the cells belonging to other
GSM PLMNs. This function enables the MS to measure
only those specified cells. This parameter specifies the
codes of the NCCs to be measured by the MS. On the
SCH, the system constantly transmits the BSIC, the first
three bits of which indicate the NCC. Thus, the MS needs
to compare only this parameter with the adjacent NCCs
measured. Then, the MS reports the matched NCCs to the
BTS and discards others. The setting of this parameter
affects only those MSs during conversation, as well as
boundary handovers.
CRO Cell Reselect Meaning: Cell Reselect Offset (CRO), indicating a
Offset correction of the C2.
Proper setting of this parameter can reduce the number of

handover times, helpful for assigning an MS to a better
cell. In a special case that the PT is 31, the larger the
CRO value is, the lower the possibility of handing over
an MS to the cell.
Generally, do not set the CRO to a value larger than 25

dB. The CRO with a too large value will cause uncertain
states in a network. The CRO values of the cells with
different priorities in a network are almost the same.
Refer to GSM Rec. 05.08 and GSM Rec. 04.08. The
setting of this parameter affects only the MSs supporting
the protocol of GSM Phase 2 or a later version.
Unit: 2dB

Name
Parameter Relationship: This parameter is valid only

when PI is set to YES.

Example
To set basic call idle parameters of a cell (Cell Index = 0; Attach-detach

allowed = No; Tx-integer = TX_5; Cell Bar Access = No), run the following
command:
SET GCELLIDLEBASIC: IDTYPE=BYID, CELLID=0, ATT=NO, TX=TX_5, CBA=NO;
