GUI Value Range: NO(No), YES(Yes)
Actual Value Range: NO, YES
Unit: None


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 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.
PARAMETERS
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.


Multi-Frames in a Cycle on the Paging CH
Meaning: 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.


Cell Reselection Offset
Meaning: Cell Reselect Offset (CRO), indicating a 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.


GPRS Cell Reselection Hysteresis
Meaning: Hysteresis value of the cell in the same routing area. When the MS in the ready state
reselects a cell, if the original cell and the target cell are in the same routing area, the C2 values of
the two cells at the border of the cell are quite different due to radio channel fading. As a result, the
MS frequently reselects cells. Frequent cell reselection can lead to increase of signaling traffic,
inefficient use of radio resources, decrease of MS data transmission rate, and thus reducing the
network service quality. The cell reselection hysteresis parameter is introduced. The signal level of
the adjacent cell in the same area must be greater than that of the local cell. The difference of the
PARAMETERS
signal level must be greater than the value of the cell reselection hysteresis parameter. Otherwise,
the MS cannot reselect a cell. The greater the GPRS cell reselection hysteresis value, the harder to

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.

PARAMETERS

BQ HO Allowed
Meaning: Whether to enable the bad 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.
GUI Value Range: NO(No), YES(Yes)
Actual Value Range: NO, YES
Unit: None
Default Value: None
Recommended Value: YES

TA HO Allowed
Meaning: Whether to enable the time 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.
GUI Value Range: NO(No), YES(Yes)
Actual Value Range: NO, YES
Unit: None
Default Value: None
Recommended Value: YES

Interference HO Allowed
Meaning: Whether to allow the interference handover algorithm. Interference handovers are
triggered when the receive level is higher than the receive threshold while the transmit quality is
lower than the interference handover quality threshold, that is, when the MSs are subject to all
kinds of radio interferences.
GUI Value Range: NO(No), YES(Yes)
Actual Value Range: NO, YES
Unit: None
Default Value: None
Recommended Value: YES

F2H HO Threshold
Meaning: For an AMR call, if the currently occupied channel is a full rate channel and the Radio
Quality Indication (RQI) is always higher than the threshold set by this parameter, an intra-cell F-H
handover is triggered.
GUI Value Range: 0~39
Actual Value Range: 0~39
PARAMETERS
Unit: None
Default Value: None
Recommended Value: 25

H2F HO Threshold
Meaning: For an AMR call, if the currently occupied channel is a half rate channel and the Radio
Quality Indication (RQI) is always lower than the threshold set by this parameter, an intra-cell H-F
handover is triggered.
GUI Value Range: 0~39
Actual Value Range: 0~39
Unit: None
Default Value: None
Recommended Value: 12

Inter-layer HO Hysteresis
Meaning: 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.
GUI Value Range: 0~63
Actual Value Range: 0~63
Unit: dB
Default Value: None
Recommended Value: 2
Set Handover Control Parameters of Cell (SET GCELLHOCTRL)

MR.Preprocessing
Meaning: Whether to enable the BTS to preprocess measurement reports. This parameter
determines where to conduct power control.
GUI Value Range: BSC_Preprocessing(BSC preprocessing), BTS_Preprocessing(BTS preprocessing)
Actual Value Range: BSC_Preprocessing, BTS_Preprocessing
Unit: None
Default Value: None
Recommended Value: BTS_Preprocessing
