Cell Data Function

The cell attributes are located in the Cell attributes table of BSC data management, which have a major effect to the network

performance.
Cell attributes include: - Interference band threshold

- T200 timer
- RF static power control - Handover Algorithm Indicator

- Immediate Assignment Indicator

The cell attributes have to be configured in a proper way so that the network is performing at the optimum level with occupying minimum resources.

Interference Band Threshold 0~5

Value range: 110~85

Unit: -dBm Content: It decides the corresponding value for each

interference band (from band 0 to band 5) and used to measure

the network interference during the TCH timeslot is in idle mode.

Recommended values:

110 ( Interference band threshold 0, the value MUST be -110dBm) 105 ( Interference band threshold 1) 98 ( Interference band threshold 2 ) 90 ( Interference band threshold 3 ) 87 ( Interference band threshold 4 ) 85 ( Interference band threshold 5, the value must be -85dBm)

Interference Calculation Period

Value range: 131

Recommended value: 20

Content: This parameter is the time period used to average

the interference level.

Radio Resource Cell Data

Wireless resource

Radio resource report period

CCCH load indication period CCCH load threshold Overload indication period Average RACH load timeslots

Radio Resource Report Period

Value range: 0~255

Unit: Second

Recommended value: 10

Content: BTS use this parameter to inform BSC about the

interference level for all of the idle TCH for the particular TRX.

CCCH Load Indication Period

Value range: 0~255

Unit: Second

Recommended value: 15

Content: The reporting period by BTS to BSC about the load

of a specific CCCH timeslot.

CCCH Load Threshold

Value range: 0~100

Unit: %

Recommended value: 80

Content: To set the maximum allow threshold of the CCCH

channel

Overload Indication Period

Value range: 0255

Unit: Second

Recommended value: 15

Content: This parameter specifies the period for BTS sending

overload message to BSC. Overload includes TRX processor

overload, downlink CCCH overload.

Average RACH Load TS Number

Value range: 0~65535

Unit: timeslot

Recommended value: 5000

Content: This parameter stands for the period that system

uses to judge the RACH timeslot status.

Call Assignment Related Parameters

Call Assignment Related Parameters are in Cell Call Control

Table and Cell Call Control Para. Table

TCH immediate assignment Immediate assignment optimization Maximum Assignment Retry Times Assign-TCH re-Estb. Rate thrsh.

TCH Immediate Assignment

Recommended value: No

Content: Option "Yes" means that TCH channel can be immediately assigned as signaling and traffic channel when SDCCH has no available resource. The option "No" means that only SDCCH can be assigned.

Immediate Assignment Optimization

Recommended value: No.

Content: Option "Yes" means it is allowed to optimize assignment of channels activated by BTS when there are multiple MS access. requests. This is to guarantee network response speed.

Assign-tch Re-Estb. Rate Thrsh.

Value range: 0~100

Unit: %

Recommended value: 80

Content: When the history record of TCH call re-establishment

success

rate

reaches

this

threshold,

TCH

immediate

assignment can be allowed.

Handover Data

T3105

Maximum resend times of physical information

Direct retry Response on Out BSC Handover Request

Max resend times of Phy. Info.

Value range: 1255

Unit: times
Recommended value : 30 Number of allowed times to send a physical information to the

MS on the main DCCH/FACCH

T3105

Value range: 0255

Unit: 10ms

Recommended value: 7

Content: T3105 is a timer for radio connection. See the

description of Max resend times of Phy. Info.

Direct Retry Permitted

Value range: No, Yes

Content: Whether to allow TCH direct retry to other cells.

Recommended value: Yes.

Response on Out BSC Handover Request

Value range: Yes, No.

Recommended value: Yes.

Content: When BSC sends handover require to MSC, the

request maybe cant be executed normally due to MSC resource busy or other faults. In this case the parameter specifies the type of response that MSC send to BSC.

Other Cell Data

Random access error threshold Cell extension type TCH flow control allowed Maximum TA RACH busy threshold Paging times Cell extension offset Circuit pool SACCH multi-frame number

Random Access Error Threshold

Value range: 0~255

Unit: None
Recommended value: 180(BTS2X), no use in BTS3X. Content: According to the GSM protocol, by judging the

correlation of the training sequence (41bit) system can know

whether the received signal is a MS random access signal or nor ( At the same time system will use the MS random access signal to calculate TA.). The parameter specifies the correlation of the training sequence.

TCH Flow Control Allowed

Value range: Yes, No.

Unit: None

Content: It indicates whether TCH channel flow control is

permitted or not.

Recommended value: No.

Cell Extension Type

Value range: Normal cell, single timeslot extended cell, two

timeslots extended cell.

Unit: None

Content: It indicates whether the cell is an extended cell and what kind of extended cell it is.

Cell Extension Offset

Value range: 0~35

Unit: Km

Content : As the GSM time advance has a limit of 63 bits, so

the radius of a cell cannot exceed 35Km. This parameter indicates the coverage radius of normal cell.

Maximum TA

Value range: 0127(127 means no time advance)

Unit: Bit, 1 bit means 0.55km

Content: Maximum Time Advance. Determines the actual

coverage area of BTS. When BTS receives the channel request message or handover access information, it determines whether channel assignment or handover should take place in the current cell by comparing the TA with the value of this parameter.

RACH Busy Threshold

Value range: 063110dBm--47dBm)
