Introduction
The Nortel GSM BSS Parameter Reference is a guide that describes all GSM BSS network element parameters that the user can access using the OMC-R.

ATTENTION
For a BSC 3000, there are no class 1 parameters; all these parameters are now class 0.

Prerequisites
Users must be familiar with networking principles. They must also be familiar with the following manuals: < 00 > : Nortel GSM BSS Documentation roadmap

Navigation
Chapter 1 Introduction (page 45) contains general information on BSS operating parameters. Chapter 2 Parameters listed in alphabetical order (page 55) describes all the operating parameters listed in alphabetical order, and explains their use. Appendix A Objects and parameters evolution (page 527) lists new configuration parameters and objects by release. Appendix B Parameters per feature (page 537) presents BSS parameters per feature.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Network configuration objects and their parameters
This dictionary summarizes all the GSM BSS parameters used to define all the objects managed on the OMC-R. An object model is used to describe each managed network element. Each object is defined in terms of its parameters (also called attributes), and its relationships with other objects. A containment tree is used to depict the relationships among these objects (see Figure 1 "Object main tree structure" (page 45) to Figure 4 "Network subtree objects" (page 47)). For more information on objects and parameters, refer to NTP < 07 >, for parameters listed per object, refer to NTP < 128 >.

ATTENTION
For a BSC 3000, there are no more class 1 parameters; all these parameters are now class 0. Figure 1 Object main tree structure

Users can create, modify, and delete objects using commands and actions displayed in the menus of the OMC-R Browser window (see Figure 7 "Menus in the OMC-R browser window" (page 49)). Parameters are widely used in all commands and actions. For more information on commands, refer to NTPs < 128 > to < 130 >.
Figure 7 Menus in the OMC-R browser window

For CT2000 and datafill purposes, the following remarks must be taken into consideration:

If not indicated, the parameters are considered mandatory in all cases. For example, if a parameter is marked as Not Mandatory at the OMC-R level, the user does not need to employ it in CT2000, there will not be any value in the command files to create the associated object. A parameter is dependant of an OMC feature only when indicated. For any parameter associated with an OMC feature, if the feature is

50 Chapter 1 Introduction

active at OMC-R then the parameter is mandatory at object creation otherwise it is not. Example: a parameter marked as "cell Tiering" dependant will only be used when the cellTiering feature is active at the OMC-R level.

A parameter is considered product-dependant only when indicated and to be used only when the product is used in the network. For example, a parameter marked "BSC 3000" dependant is mandatory when the object to create/modify belongs to the "BSC 3000" architecture. CT2000 is an offline, multi-release CM OAM tool. The CT2000 V3 phased with BSS V15 can also configure sub-BSS releases V14.2 and V14.3. Throughout this document, the user will be able to distinguish whether a parameter present in CT2000 DRF interface needs to be filled or not, depending upon the actual network configuration.

1.2 Different types of configuration parameters


There are two types of configuration parameters: customer and manufacturer parameters.

Customer parameters:

addressing parameters, which are relative to objects (for example:


bsc number)

design parameters, which are relative to contract characteristics


(for example: configRef, SiteName)

optimization parameters, which are relative to network tuning (for


example: cellReselectHysteresis)

operating parameters, which are relative to network operation (for


example: cellBarred)

Manufacturer parameters:

system parameters, which can seriously affect system operation,


and which must be under the control of the manufacturer (for example: runPwrControl)

product parameters, which are incompatible with the current system


release (for example: sWVersionbackup) New configuration parameters are summarized in Appendix A Objects and parameters evolution (page 527).

The associated handOverControl and powerControl objects are created for the bts object. The mobileCountryCode and mobileNetworkCode attributes match those of the parent bsc object when they are defined for that object. The frequencies in the cellAllocation list comply with the standardIndicator attribute value. The minNbOfTDMA attribute value is less than or equal to the number of transceiver objects created for the bts object. Cavity cell: The number of dependent transceiver objects equals the number of frequencies in the cellAllocation list. Eight channel objects are created for each dependent transceiver object if the cell works in normal mode, four channel objects are created for each dependent transceiver object if the cell works in extended mode.

The following apply:

Only one of them has a channelType equal to "mainBCCH", "mainBCCHCombined", or "bcchSdcch4CBCH". If the smsCB attribute of the bts object is "used", one of them has a channelType equal to "sdcc8CBCH" or "bcchSdcch4CBCH". Concentric cell: Two transceiverZone objects are created for the bts object. Each dependent transceiver object refers to a transceiverZone object (transceiver zone Ref is defined). All channel objects describing the cell BCCH or common channels (channelType = "cCH") depend on transceiver objects allotted to the outer zone. If frequency hopping is allowed in a zone (zone frequency hopping), it is allowed in the cell (btsIshopping). The frequencies used by the transceiver objects in a zone are separate from the frequencies used by the transceiver objects in the other zone.

Releasing a bts object by shutting down sustains the calls supported by the described cell. The system actions are as follows:

Radio resources remain allocated until the calls end. Once a TDMA frame is released, a CLEAR CONFIG REQUEST message is sent to the partnered TRX/DRX. When all calls are terminated, the cell is released (administrativeState = "locked" and operationalState = "disabled") and the concerned TRX/DRXs and TDMA frames are unreachable (availabilityStatus = "{dependency}". It is recommended to bar direct access to the cell before initiating a soft release (cellBarred = "barred"), to prevent off-call mobiles from listening to the cell during the soft release phase, so they can immediately re-select another cell for receiving or sending calls. It is recommended also to forbid incoming handovers in the cell (incomingHandOver = "disabled"), to remove the cell from the list of eligible cells and, thus, avoid its selection if the BTS receives such a request. In order to speed up the soft release process, the Force HandOvers command can be used first to redirect the traffic currently handled by the serving cell towards its neighbor cells. If a hard lock request is sent during the soft release phase, all the calls supported by the cell are immediately released by the BSC. If the administrativeState of the object is unlocked and the availabilityStatus is unknown, the object status is undetermined. You must request the status of the bsc object on the OMC-R, to update the network view.

To carry out a soft release. This action does not automatically cause a handover. By carrying out this action, the operator must wait for the end of the coms before the TRX/DRX changes to "blocked". To carry out a forced handover. A forced handover on the bts object will cause the DRX/TRX to change to "blocked" more quickly.

critical: .........

The critical severity level indicates that a service affecting condition has occurred and an immediate corrective action is required. The indeterminate severity level indicates that the severity level of the service affecting condition cannot be determined. The major severity level indicates that a service affecting condition has developed and a deferred corrective action is required. The minor severity level indicates the existence of a non-service affecting fault condition and that a corrective action should be taken in order to prevent a more serious fault. The warning severity level indicates the detection of a potential or impending service affecting fault, before any significant effects have been felt. An action should be taken to further diagnose and correct the problem in order to prevent it from becoming a more serious service affecting fault.

Cannot set the bCCHFrequency parameter on an adjacentCellHandOver object to a 32nd different value in the subset of adjacentCellHandOver instances belonging to the same upper bts if at least one instance of adjacentCellUTRAN is created. The purpose of this check is to forbid existence 32 different BCCH frequencies on the GSM neighbour cells under the same GSM cell if at least one UTRAN neighbour cell is declared. Modification of bCCHFrequency, baseColourC ode and networkColourCode is forbidden while interference matrix is running. Customer should not validate IM activation on a cell with 32 instances of adjacentCell (existing IM control) or with 31 instances of adjacentCell with 31 different values of bCCFFrequeny parameter if at least one instance of adjacentCellUTRAN is created. The purpose of this check is to warn customer on IM activation if at least one UTRAN neighbour cell is declared and the cell already has real neighboring cells with 31 different BCCH.

[M]: [C/M]:

The bCCHFrequency value must be set according to the standardIndicator attribute. For an adjacentCellReselection object instance, the bCCHFrequency can take one of the following values: [1 to 124] (GSM 900 network), [512 to 885] (GSM 1800 network), [512 to 810] (GSM 1900 network), [0 to 124] or [975 to 1023] (E-GSM), [128 to 251] (GSM 850 network), [0 to 124] or [955 to 1023] for GSM-R.

Note :

An adjacentCellReselection object can use the same BCCH as the serving cell to which it is associated. This allows a mobile to immediately recover the cell on which it was "camping" after being switched off, then switched back on, and is especially useful in the selection process.

bCCHFrequency Class 2
Description : Radio frequency allocated to a cell BCCH (Broadcast Control CHannel) in the network frequency band. The information is broadcast on the cell SACCH. The BCCH frequency is automatically assigned to the radio time slot carrying the cell BCCH when the cell is brought into service (absoluteRFChannelNo attribute of the channel object describing the carrier TDMA frame TS0). It is broadcast to the radio time slot whenever modified.

Description : Value range : Object : Default value : Type : Checks : Whether frequency hopping is allowed in a cell. [hopping / noHopping / hoppingWithCarrierFilling (V8) / noHoppingWithCarrierFilling (V8)] bts Hopping DP

[M]:

If frequency hopping is allowed, the GSM "fhMgt" function is defined in the siteGsmFctList attribute of the parent btsSiteManager object. If it is disabled, no channel object dependent on the bts object is authorized to obey frequency hopping laws.

Note :

[M]:

The "xxxWithCarrierFilling" configuration means that the BTS covering the cell must use a TX for BCCH filling purposes. The following apply:

The BSC sends the information to the BTS in the Abis CELL CONFIGURATION REQUEST message. If the BTS does not have a redundant TRX/DRX, one of the operating TRX/DRXs is assigned to that purpose and the partnered TDMA frame is unreachable (refer to the operationalState entry for the transceiver object in the Dictionary). When this TRX/DRX is malfunctioning, the BTS re-configures the other TRX/DRXs. Users are then warned by the system, by means of a notification.

The "noHoppingWithCarrierFilling" configuration can be used in all BTSs, regardless of the coupling mode. The following apply:

Hybrid coupling: All cell TX configurations provide BCCH filling. Cavity coupling: Only the TX that transmits the cell BCCH frequency is configured to provide BCCH filling.

The "hoppingWithCarrierFilling" configuration can only be used in BTSs that use cavity coupling. The following apply:

channelType Class 2
Description : Value range : Type of logical channel supported by a radio TS. [tCHFull / sDCCH / mainBCCH / mainBCCHCombined / bcchsdcch4CBCH / sdcch8CBCH / cCH (V12) / pDTCH (V12)]. An SDCCH is only allocated to a mobile during call setup. Once the call is established, the SDCCH is released and a TCH supports the call, serving traffic and signaling needs. A CBCH (Cell Broadcast CHannel) configuration enables use of the Short Message Service -Cell Broadcast (SMS-CB) in a cell when a radio time slot of a TDMA frame related to the cell supports that type of channel. The CBCH can be combined with an SDCCH/8 or a BCCH+SDCCH/4. It takes the place of SDCCH no.2 in all cases.

Remark :

Configuration of logical channels and broadcast of short messages are managed by two independent OMC-R functions. When a short message broadcast is started in a cell, the presence of a channel object with a CBCH dependent on the concerned bts object is checked. On the contrary, the SMS-CB function is not aware of changes made to that attribute. Consequently, withdrawing a CBCH from a cell configuration will implicitly stop any short message broadcast in the cell without the SMS-CB function knowing.

Note :

The following counters have been multiplexed on TSs 0, 2, 4, and 6 for the Extended CCCH feature: C1026, C1027, C1028, C1029, C1030, C1031, C1033, C1604, C1605. No recommended value is specified since this parameter depends on the strategy of the operator.

DP The choice will depend on the quantities of GSM phase 1 and GSM phase 2 mobiles. For Mobile phase 1, numberOfSlotsSpreadTrans = 50 leads to the lower double allocation rate. For Mobile phase 2, numberOfSlotsSpreadTrans = 6, 7, 11, 12, 25, 32 (respectively 5, 10, 20) for BCCH combined (respectively BCCH not combined) leads to the lower double allocation rate. Therefore, for a network that handles a combination of both types of mobiles, numberOfSlotsSpreadTrans should be set to 32 (default value).

s = 0: RSMbts and RSMbsc are identical s > 0: If RSMbsc is [TSm..TSn] then RSMbts is [TSm-s..TSn-s] s < 0: If RSMbsc is [TSm..TSn] then RSMbts is [TSm+|s|..TSn+|s|]

Example 1: if RSMbsc is [TS31..TS28] and s = +26, then RSMbts is [TS05..TS02]. Example 2: if RSMbsc is [TS05..TS02] and s = -19, then RSMbts is [TS24..TS21]. Value range : Object : Type : Checks : Int [-28 to 28] btsSiteManager DP

[C/M]:

If the radioSiteMaskOffset is positive, the lowest TS number of the resultant BTS radio site mask must be greater than or equal to 1. If the radioSiteMaskOffset is negative, the greatest TS number of the resultant BTS radio site mask must be lower than or equal to 31 (case of an E1 PCM) or to 24 (case of a T1 PCM). the radioSiteMaskOffset is in the range [-28, +28] (case of an E1 PCM) or in the range [-21, +21] (case of a T1 PCM).

signallingLinkId
Description : Value range : Object : Type : Checks : Identifier of a signallingLink object defined with regard to a signallingLinkSet object. [0 to 2147483646] signallingLink Id

[C]:

The number of signaling links controlled by a BSC is limited to maxSigLPerSigLS (static configuration data). The maximum number of signallingLink objects for Lb interface is 2. The referenced pcmCircuit object (pcmCircuitId) is assigned to the A interface and depends on the same transcoder object (transcoderId) as the signallingLink object. The referenced PCM,TS pair (pcmCircuitId and timeSlotNumber) is not already assigned to a signallingLink or xtp object dependent on the same transcoder object, and the time slot is not mapped on the TS used by the OMC channel on the Ater interface. If the SS7 link uses PCMA link no.3 (pcmCircuitId), the timeSlotNumber is in the range [1 to 27] if the PCM link is an E1 link or in the range [1 to 20] if the PCM link is a T1 link. Since the last four time slots of that link are not mapped on the Ater interface, they are unusable (refer to the transcoderMatrix entry in the Dictionary). If the application database of the related BSC is built, the parent bsc object is unlocked. If the application database of the related BSC is built, the signallingLink object is locked. If the application database of the related BSC is not built, it has been reset by an Off line reset BDA command. No mdScanner object refers to the signallingLink object (no observation is running on that object).

thresholdInterference Class 2
Description : List of four thresholds defined in ascending order, used to sort idle channels on the basis of measured interference levels. This attribute, together with the averagingPeriod attribute, allows to manage interferences in a radio cell. The classification is used by the radio resource allocator.

Copyright 1999, 2008 Nortel Networks

483

For each idle radio channel, the BTS permanently measures the signal strength level RXLEV. When averagingPeriod "Measurement results" messages have been received, the L1M function in the BTS calculates interference level averages, sorts the idle channels according to the five defined interference levels (Level 0 corresponds to the lowest interference level), and sends the information to the BSC.

The BSC tallies the interference levels and, if the temporary "interference" observation is running for the bsc object, sends the channelIdleLevelMax and channelIdleLevelEch counters every <mdGranularityPeriod> minutes to the OMC-R agent.

Refer also to C1619 permanent observation counters. Value range : Object : Default value: Type : Checks : [-128 to 0] dB handOverControl -100 -90 -80 -70 DP

Chapter 2 Parameters listed in alphabetical order

[C/M]:

The referenced pcmCircuit object (pcmCircuitId) is assigned to the A interface and depends on the same transcoder object (transcoderId) as the xtp object. The time slot used by the xtp object (timeSlotNumber) is identical to the mscPcmTsNumber component of the cic attribute. The referenced PCM,TS pair (pcmCircuitId and timeSlotNumber) is not already assigned to an xtp or signallingLink object dependent on the same transcoder object, and the time slot is not mapped on the TS used by the OMC channel on the Ater interface. If the terrestrial circuit uses PCMA link no.3 (pcmCircuitId), the timeSlotNumber is in the range [1 to 27] if the PCM link is an E1 link or in the range [1 to 20] if the PCM link is a T1 link. Since the last four time slots of that link are not mapped on the Ater interface, they are unusable (refer to the transcoderMatrix entry in the Dictionary). If the application database of the related BSC is built, the parent bsc object is unlocked. If the application database of the related BSC is built, the parent bsc object is unlocked and the xtp object is locked. If the application database of the related BSC is not built, it has been reset by an Off line reset BDA command. No traceControl or callPathTrace object refers to the xtp object (the Call tracing and Call path tracing functions do not monitor that object). The cic and timeSlotNumber attributes of an xtp object cannot be modified.
