HW-Meaning
This parameter specifies the maximum transmit power supported by the power amplifier of the TRX. The macro BTS and the mini BTS support
different power levels.
This parameter specifies the transmit power level of the TRX. The greater this parameter is, the smaller the transmit power is. When this parameter
is set to "0", the transmit power level of the TRX is the greatest. Each time this parameter increases by one level, the transmit power reduces by 2
dB.
For different types of BTSs, the value range of this parameter is different.
BTS3X: 0-10
BTS3001C: 0-13
BTS3002C: 0-10
Double-transceiver BTSs (BTS3012,BTS3012AE,BTS3006C): 0-10
DBS3900 GSM, BTS3900 GSM, BTS3900A GSM: 0-10.
Minimum received signal level of the MS. This level is reported in the system information. This parameter specifies the minimum receive level of an
MS to access the BSS. For details. see GSM Rec. 05.08. The value of this parameter ranges from 0 to 63 (corresponding to -110 dBm to -47 dBm).
Maximum transmit power level of MSs. As one of the cell reselection parameters in system message 3, this parameter is used to control the transmit
power of MSs. For details, see GSM Rec. 05.05.
In a GSM900 cell, the maximum power control level of an MS ranges from 0 to 19, corresponding respectively to the following values (unit: dBm): 43,
41, 39, 37, 35, 33, 31, 29, 27, 25, 23, 21, 19, 17, 15, 13, 11, 9, 7, and 5.Generally, the maximum transmit power supported by an MS is level 5
(corresponding to 33 dBm). The minimum transmit power supported by an MS is level 19 (corresponding to 5 dBm). Other transmit power levels are
reserved for high-power MSs.
In a GSM1800 or GSM1900 cell, the maximum power control level of an MS ranges from 0 to 31, corresponding respectively to the following values
(unit: dBm): 30, 28, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 36, 34, and 32. Generally, the maximum transmit
power supported by an MS is level 0 (corresponding to 30 dBm). The minimum transmit power supported by an MS is level 15 (corresponding to 0
dBm). Other transmit power levels are reserved for high-power MSs.
Cell reselection hysteresis. This is one of the parameters used for deciding whether to reselect cells in different location areas. This parameter can
avoid the increase of network signaling traffic due to frequent location update and reduce the risk of losing paging messages.
NCC bitmap of the measurement report sent by the MS. The MS reports only the NCC bitmap of the BSIC and the cell measurement report that
matches the bitmap.
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 or Immediate Assignment Extend messages,
it retransmits Channel Request messages at a specified interval.
If the downlink quality is poor, the MS may send SABM frames to the BTS multiple times.
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 CCCH and SDCCH do not share a physical channel.
When this parameter is set to 4, 9, or 6, S is 52 if the CCCH and SDCCH share a physical channel.
When this parameter is set to 5, 10, or 20, S is 109 if the CCCH and SDCCH do not share a physical channel.
When this parameter is set to 5, 10, or 20, S is 58 if the CCCH and SDCCH share a physical channel.
When this parameter is set to 6, 11, or 25, S is 163 if the CCCH and SDCCH do not share a physical channel.
When this parameter is set to 6, 11, or 25, S is 86 if the CCCH and SDCCH share a physical channel.
When this parameter is set to 7, 12, or 32, S is 217 if the CCCH and SDCCH do not share a physical channel.
When this parameter is set to 7, 12, or 32, S is 115 if the CCCH and SDCCH share a physical channel.
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.
Cell Reselect Temporary Offset (TO) indicates the temporary correction of C2. This parameter is valid only within the value specified by "Cell Reselect
Penalty Time". For details, see GSM Rec. 05.08 and 04.08. This parameter applies to only GSM Phase II MSs.
This parameter specifies the actual coverage area of a cell. After receiving the channel request message or handover access message, the BTS
determines whether the channel assignment or handover is performed in the cell by comparing the TA and the value of this parameter. The value of
this parameter is determined by that of "Cell Extension Type" in the "ADD GCELL" command.
Whether to allow immediate TCH assignment. If this parameter is set to YES, the BSC can assign a TCH immediately when there is no available SDCCH
for a channel request. If this parameter is set to NO, the BSC can assign only an SDCCH when processing a channel access request.
Layer where a cell is located. The network designed by Huawei has four layers: Umbrella (layer 4), Macro (layer 3), Micro (layer 2), and Pico(layer 1).
Each layer can be set with 16 priorities.
Handover threshold during the handovers between cells on different layers or of different priorities. This value is used to suppress inter-layer ping-
pong handovers.
Inter-layer handover threshold of the serving cell = "Inter-layer HO threshold" - "Inter-layer HO Hysteresis";
Inter-layer handover threshold of a neighboring cell = "Inter-layer HO Threshold" + "Adjacent Cell Inter-layer HO Hysteresis" - 64.
Hysteresis value during the handovers between cells on different layers or of different priorities. This value is used to suppress inter-layer ping-pong
handovers.
Inter-layer handover threshold of the serving cell = "Inter-layer HO threshold" - "Inter-layer HO Hysteresis";
Inter-layer handover threshold of a neighboring cell = "Inter-layer HO threshold" + "Adjacent Cell Inter-layer HO Hysteresis" - 64.
Threshold of hierarchical cell structure (HCS) signal strength. The MS calculates the C31 according to the signal strength and its threshold and selects
the adjacent cell during cell reselection.
Type of the PCU
Used for requesting the MS to report the measurement information of neighboring cells in multiple frequency bands. This parameter is carried in the
system information 2ter and 5ter.
When the load of the underlay subcell is higher than this parameter, some of the calls in the underlay subcell will be switched to the overlay subcell,
and channels in the overlay subcell will be preferentially assigned to calls initiated in the underlay subcell as well.
Load threshold for assigning half rate channels preferentially. If the current TCH seizure ratio of the cell is greater than this threshold, AMR half rate
channels are assigned preferentially.
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 this parameter is 0, the BTS regards the radio link as faulty. 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 measurement report in SACCH is correctly decoded.
Time for disconnecting a call when the MS fails to decode the SACCH. 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.
Counter for radio link failures during an AMR full rate call. See the description of "Radio Link Timeout" in "SET GCELLCCBASIC".
Counter for radio link failures during an AMR half rate call. See the description of "Radio Link Timeout" in "SET GCELLCCBASIC".
Whether a cell is a normal cell, concentric cell, or enhanced dual band network cell.
In a concentric cell, the coverage areas of different TRXs form concentric circles of different radiuses.
Owing to different coverage areas of the overlaid and underlaid parts, the two parts can be logically regarded as two cells. With many channels, the
overlaid part is the major traffic bearer layer, recruiting most MSs in its coverage area. The underlaid part is used for coverage, providing services for
the areas that the overlaid part cannot cover. The underlaid part covers the overlaid part, and thus the underlaid part can also share some traffic.
An enhanced dual band network is amelioration to the existing dual band network. In such a network, two cells physically with a collocation site but
different coverage areas form a cell group logically, namely, an inner cell and an extra cell. Channel resource sharing and cell load balancing is
realized in the two cells through the algorithm of enhanced dual band network.
This parameter specifies the frequency hopping mode of a cell. When this parameter is set to "NO_FH", all the TRXs of the cell do not join in
frequency hopping. When this parameter is set to "BaseBand_FH", the cell is in baseband frequency hopping mode. In this case, there can be TRXs
that do not join in frequency hopping on the cell. When this parameter is set to "RF_FH", the cell is in RF frequency hopping mode. In this case, there
can be TRXs that do not join in frequency hopping on the cell. When this parameter is set to "Hybrid_FH", the cell is in hybrid frequency hopping. In
this case, some TRXs on the cell must join in baseband frequency hopping, some cells on the cell must join in RF frequency hopping, and some cells
on the cell must not join in frequency hopping.
Number of the slot where the main board of the RXU chain or ring is located. The slot No. is unique in the same BTS.
BS-AG-BLKS-RES, indicating the number of the CCCH message blocks reserved for the AGCH. After the CCCHs are configured, the value of this
parameter indicates the actual seizure rates of the AGCHs and the PCHs over the CCCHs.
Number of multiframes in a cycle on a paging sub-channel. In fact, this parameter specifies the number 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 number of paging sub-channels of each cell.
This parameter indicates start frame number of the BTS. It is used to keep synchronization between the BTS and MS after the BTS is re-initialized.
The early classmark sending control (ECSC) parameter specifies whether the MSs in a cell use early classmark sending. After a successful immediate
assignment, the MS sends additional classmark information to the network as early as possible. The additional classmark information mainly contains
the CM3 (classmark 3) information. The CM3 (classmark 3) information contains the frequency band support capability of the MS (used for the future
channel assignment), power information about each frequency band supported by the MS (used for the handover between different frequency
bands), and encryption capability of the MS.
Used together with "Cell Bar Qualify" to decide the priority status of a cell. Refer to GSM Rec. 04.08.
Cell Bar Qualify Cell Bar Access Cell selection priority Cell reselection priority
NO NO Normal Normal
NO YES Prohibited Prohibited
YES NO Low Normal
YES YES Low Normal
Used together with "Cell Bar Access" to decide the priority status of a cell. See GSM Rec. 0408. This parameter does not affect cell reselection but cell
selection only.
Cell Bar Qualify Cell Bar Access Cell selection priority Cell reselection priority
NO NO Normal Normal
NO YES Prohibited Prohibited
YES NO Low Normal
YES YES Low Normal
Level of common access control, used for load control, allowing or forbidding the access of some users of common access levels
Attach-detach Allowed (ATT). If this 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.
This parameter specifies the length of the timer for periodic location update.
If the number of measurement reports lost consecutively is no larger than this value, linear interpolation is performed for the values in the lost
measurement reports based on the values in the two measurement reports preceding and following the lost measurement reports. Otherwise, the
lost measurement reports will be discarded, and the value will be recalculated when new measurement reports arrive.
If the downlink received signal level of a neighbor cell is greater than "Min DL Level on Candidate Cell" plus "Min Access Level Offset", the neighbor
cell can be listed in the candidate cell queue for handover.
If the uplink received signal level of a neighbor cell is greater than "Min UL Level on Candidate Cell" plus "Min Access Level Offset", the neighbor cell
can be listed in the candidate cell queue for handover.
An emergency handover is triggered when TA is greater than or equal to the value of this parameter.
After a handover due to bad quality is successful, the penalty on the original serving cell is performed within the "Penalty Time after BQ HO": the
receive level of the original serving cell is decreased by "Penalty Level after BQ HO", to prevent ping-pong handovers.
After the time advancing handover is successful, the penalty on the original serving cell is performed within the "Penalty Time after TA HO": the
receive level of the original serving cell is decreased by "Penalty Level after TA HO", to prevent ping-pong handovers.
After a handover due to bad quality is successful, the penalty on the original serving cell is performed within the "Penalty Time after BQ HO": the
receive level of the original serving cell is decreased by "Penalty Level after BQ HO", to prevent ping-pong handovers.
After the time advancing handover is successful, the penalty on the original serving cell is performed within the "Penalty Time after TA HO": the
receive level of the original serving cell is decreased by "Penalty Level after TA HO", to prevent ping-pong handovers.
Penalty signal level imposed on a target cell to which the handover fails due to congestion or poor radio quality. This penalty helps to prevent the MS
from making a second handover attempt to the target cell.
Downlink quality threshold for emergency handover. This parameter is represented as the product of 10 and a quality level that ranges from 0 to 7.
The emergency handover can be triggered only when the downlink receive quality of an MS is greater(indicate bad quality) than this threshold.
An emergency handover due to bad quality is triggered when the uplink receive quality is not smaller than "UL Qual. Threshold".
This parameter specifies whether to use DL DTX for full-rate (FR) calls. This parameter and "DL DTX Strategy" codetermine whether to use DL DTX for
FR calls in the cell.
Whether the uplink DTX function is enabled for FR calls. For details, see GSM Rec. 05.08. Uplink DTX is not restricted by the MSC. If this parameter is
set to May_Use, the MS can use DTX. If this parameter is set to Shall_Use or Shall_Not_Use, the MS cannot use DTX.
Level value of the penalty that is performed on the neighboring cells of the cell where a fast-moving MS is located. The neighboring cells must be
located at the Macro, Micro, or Pico layer other than the Umbrella layer.
Period in which penalty is performed on the neighboring cells of the cell where a fast-moving MS is located. The neighboring cells must be located at
the Macro, Micro, or Pico layer but not the Umbrella layer.
Whether to enable the fast moving micro-cell handover algorithm. The fast moving micro-cell handover algorithm enables fast moving MSs to switch
over to macro-cells, thus reducing the handover times.
Period during which interference levels are averaged. The interference levels on idle channels are averaged before the BTS sends a radio resource
indication message to the BSC. The averaging result is used for classifying the interference levels on idle channels into five interference bands. For
details, see GSM Rec. 08.08, 08.58, and 12.21.
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 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.
If the load of a cell is lower than the value of this parameter, the cell can admit the users handed over from other cells with higher load. Otherwise,
the cell rejects such users.
Whether to switch some of the calls in the underlay subcell to the overlay.
Whether to allow SDCCH dynamic allocation, that is, whether to allow dynamic conversion between TCHs and SDCCHs.
When the number of idle SDCCH channels in a cell is smaller than or equal to this parameter, the system searches for available TCHs and transforms
them into SDCCH channels.
Expected signal receiving strength on the BTS side when GPRS dynamic power control is implemented
Whether the current cell supports GPRS
If the current channel seizure ratio reaches or exceeds this value, the half-rate TCH is assigned preferentially; otherwise, the full-rate TCH is assigned
preferentially.
This parameter specifies whether the intra-cell handover is enabled. Note: A forced intra-cell handover is not subject to this parameter.
Whether to enable the III power control algorithm for AMR calls. If enabled, power control is performed on AMR calls.
Hysteresis value during the handovers between cells, This value is used to suppress ping-pong handovers between cells.
Whether to allow the function of enhanced multi-level precedence and preemption (eMLPP). With the eMLPP function enabled, the network can use
different policies such as queuing, preemption, or directed retry based on the priorities of different calls when network resources are occupied. If
this parameter is set to YES, when preemption occurs, the MS with the lowest priority initiates a handover, and the MS with a higher priority seizes
the idle channel after a handover. If this parameter is set to NO, an MS with a lower priority releases the channel, the MS with a higher priority seizes
the idle channel after the release.
The eMLPP has up to seven priorities: A, B, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. The two highest priorities A and B are internally reserved for local use only. Priorities 0 to
4 can be subscribed by MSs for global use.
With the support of the MSC, HLR, and mobile terminal (containing a SIM card), the eMLPP function can be perfectly implemented.
Whether to enable a directed retry. The directed retry is to hand over an MS to a neighboring cell in the same procedure as the handover. The
directed retry is an emergency measure applicable to abnormal traffic peaks in some areas of a radio network. You should not use the directed retry
as a major means of solving traffic congestion. If the directed retry always occurs in some areas of a network, consider adjusting the sector and TRX
configuration and the network layout.
Whether to allow call re-establishment. Burst interference or blind spots due to high buildings may lead to a radio link failure. If a call drop is caused
by such a failure, the MS can start call re-establishment to resume the conversation.
When the cell supports Repeated Downlink SACCH, the BTS enables the repeated transmission of SACCH frames if the measured downlink quality is
higher than the downlink quality threshold.
When the cell supports Repeated Downlink SACCH, the BTS enables the repeated transmission of SACCH frames if the measured downlink quality is
higher than the downlink quality threshold.
