Radio Control Cell, Measurement Frequencies, Change 1 Format

1.1 Command
RLMFC:CELL=cell,MBCCHNO=mbcchno...[,LISTTYPE=listtype] [,MRNIC];

1.2 Parameters
CELL=cell Cell designation This is a symbolic name of a defined cell. LISTTYPE=listtype Type of measurement frequency list. This parameter indicates in which mode the Mobile Station (MS) will measure on the frequencies in the list. ACTIVE Measurement frequency list to be used by active MSs IDLE Measurement frequency list to be used by idle MSs MBCCHNO=mbcchno Absolute Radio Frequency (RF) channel number for measurement on Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) The number is the absolute RF channel number for the BCCH for cells to be measured on by a MS in the cell. Numeral 128 - 251 (GSM 800) Numeral 1 - 124 (GSM 900, P-band) Numeral 975 - 1023, 0 (GSM 900, G1-band) Numeral 512 - 885 (GSM 1800) Numeral 512 - 810 (GSM 1900) MRNIC Measurement results not interpreted correctly At updating of the measurement frequencies, measurement results are not interpreted correctly for a period of time.

2 Function
This command initiates or adds frequencies that MSs will measure on in the cell. If the type of measurement frequency list is not specified, then both idle and active lists are changed. The command is valid only for internal cells, that is cells belonging to the current Base Station Controller (BSC). If the parameter MRNIC is specified, or the cell state is halted, then the updating of the measurement frequencies is performed immediately. In this case the measurement results are not interpreted correctly for a period of time. EXECUTED will be printed. If the parameter MRNIC is not specified, the updating of the measurement frequencies is performed over a period of time and the measurement results are interpreted correctly. ORDERED will be printed and the result printout ADDITION OF CELL MEASUREMENT FREQUENCIES COMPLETED is received. If the global system type is MIXED, it is possible to add frequencies in the combination of GSM 800 band, GSM 900 band, and GSM 1800 or GSM 1900 band. The frequencies in G1 band can only be defined in a cell if the optional feature Extended GSM Frequency Band support is available in the system. The availability of the optional feature depends on commercial agreements.

Basically up to 32 measurement frequencies can be defined in a frequency list. If the global system type is MIXED, the following restrictions will apply according to the band in which the BCCH is defined and the combination of measurement frequency bands. The following restrictions apply to both IDLE and ACTIVE list types. If the list type is not specified, the restrictions are checked for both IDLE and ACTIVE lists.

The frequency range is defined as (1024 + highest MBCCHNO in 800 band) -lowest MBCCHNO in G1 band + 1 4.

Note:

5. If the IDLE UTRAN measurement frequency list, specified in command RLUMC, contains any UTRAN Measurement Frequency Information (UMFI), then the maximum number of MBCCHNOs in the IDLE UTRAN measurement frequency list is 31. If the ACTIVE UTRAN measurement frequency list, specified in command RLUMC, contains any UMFI, then the maximum number of MBCCHNOs in the ACTIVE UTRAN measurement frequency list is 31.

The order remains after system restart.

3 Examples
3.1 Example 1
RLMFC:CELL=LIN1,MBCCHNO=9&11&107&108,LISTTYPE=IDLE; The command will add the following measurement frequencies to be used by an MS in idle mode in cell LIN1 in the BSC: 9, 11, 107, 108

3.2 Example 2
RLMFC:CELL=LIN2,MBCCHNO=15&17&512&520,MRNIC; The command will add the following measurement frequencies to be used by an MS in either idle or active mode in cell LIN2 in the BSC: 15, 17, 512, 520 The measurement results are not interpreted correctly for a period of time.
