This means that if one of a pair of half-rate channels in adual rate channel is busy, and the other is idle, the entire dual-rate channel iscounted as busy. However, both connections using a full rate channel and ahalf rate channel respectively can be selected for load sharing handovers.Cell Load Sharing evaluations are not performed at all for channels inmultislot configurations. Also, the E-GSM band channels can be included inthe Cell Load Sharing evaluation by turning on the BSC exchange propertyEBANDINCLUDED

BTS Power Control Algorithm To Start

1) Preparation of Input Data

Compensation for Freq. HoppingSSTCH=SSM-(BSPWR-BSTXPWR+2*PLused)/Nf

Where, SSTCH is the signal strength on the down regulated TCH carrier SSM is the measured signal strength reported by the MS BSPWR,BSTXPWR is the BTS output power on the BCCH frequency and TCH frequency respectively. Nf is the number of frequencies in the hopping frequency set

All signal strength measurements are compensated before the filtering. SSTCH is also compensated for power control according to the equation given below, SS_COMP = SSTCH + 2*PLused where SS_COMP is the signal strength compensated for both down regulation and frequency hopping

2) Filtering of Measurements

SSFILTERED(k) = b*SS_COMP(k) + a*SSFILTERED(k-1)

if SS_COMP(k) < SSFILTERED (k-1)

then L = SSLENDL else L = SSLENDL * UPDWNRATIO / 100

pu = max(pu1 ,pu2 )

PLused = Int(-pu/2 )where, PLused is the power level. PLused = 0 represents full power and PLused =15 represents 30 dB down regulation.

Idle Channel Measurements Algorithm To Start

When a channel is available for channel allocation (deblocked), the BSC putsthe channel in the interference band 1 (which represents the lowest measuredinterference)At normal release, the channel is placed in the same interference band thatit was taken from at channel allocation. At abnormal release however, e.g.a dropped call, the channel is placed in the interference band immediatelyabove the one from which it was taken, that is in a band representing a higherinterference.

When a half rate channel is released and its related half rate channel is idle,the channel that is released is placed in the same interference band as itsrelated channel. This is done regardless of whether the release was normalor abnormal

INTAVE may change the BSC CP load. If INTAVE isset to a low value, less measurements are used when calculating the average.This may lead to more fluctuations in the interference measurement. Thesefluctuations will lead to an increased number of changes of interference bandand hence a higher BSC CP load. Increasing INTAVE will lead to a more stable

Default Value

Command Description

RLLHP:CELL={cell}; Defines which layer the cell belongs, i.e. the priority of the cell. Layer 1 has the highest priorityRLLHP:CELL={cell}; Signal strength hysteresis for the layer thresholdRLLHP:CELL={cell}; Signal strength threshold used to rank cells in different layers within each band.RLLHP:CELL={cell}; HCS traffic distribution level threshold to allow HCS handover into a cell. HCS handover into an internal neighbour cell is allowed when the channel availability of the neighbour cell is above or equal to its HCSIN threshold. When the default value for HCSIN (0%) is used it is always allowed to perform HCS handover into the cell.RLLHP:CELL={cell}; HCS traffic distribution level threshold to allow HCS handover out from a cell. HCS handover out from the serving cell is allowed when the channel availability of the serving cell is below or equal to its HCSOUT threshold. When the default value for HCSOUT (100%) is used it is always allowed to perform HCS handover out from the cell.RLLHP:CELL={cell}; Temporary signal strength penalty. Used to prevent many of the fast moving mobiles from accessing lower layer cellsRLLHP:CELL={cell}; Duration of the temporary signal strength penaltyRLPSP:CELL={cell}; Defines to which packet switched layer the cell belongs i.e. which priority the cell has. Packet switched layer 1 has highest priorityRLPSP:CELL={cell}; Signal strength threshold that needs to be fulfilled by a cell in order to be prioritized by HCS. It is used with the LAYERHYST as the hysteresis.RLLHP:CELL={cell}; Switch for activating the mechanism that direct mobiles towards a higher layer at high handover rates

HCS must be implemented with care in FLP (1/1 and 1/3) networks. All cellsCells that have channel availabilities below HCSIN will be removed from HCS ranking and moved to basic ranking instead using the same frequencies should be allocated to the same layer. This isServing Cell’s channel availability is also checked against HCSOUT and if greater than this it is considered to be taking too little t because in an FLP network it is more important to be connected to the strongest

server. If dedicated frequencies have been allocated to for examples indoor orhot spot cells these cells can be placed in another band.

Defines the priority for group of layers. HCS band 1 has the highest priority. It is set per layer and BSC.The signal strength threshold prioritizes cells within a HCS band.The signal strength hysteresis, set in dB, prioritizes cells between HCS bandsDefines the number of cells of the same layer that can be prioritized by HCSDefines the maximum value in dB that a cell in a layer can deviate from the highest ranked cell in the same layer and still be prioritized by HCS.

It decides whether or not a MPDCH shall be allocated. MPDCH can only be allocated if at least one FPDCH exists and the network operation mode is either 1 or 3 (see GPRSNWMODE, GPRSNWMODE).

Indicates if Timeslot Number 7 on the BCCH frequency can be configured with TCHs supporting EGPRS and GPRS, or GPRS only.TN7BCCH is only valid for the channel group 0. EGPRS: TN7 on the BCCH frequency can be configured with TCHs supporting both EGPRS and GPRS. GPRS: TN7 on the BCCH frequency can only be configured with TCHs supporting GPRS.The parameter EACPREF is used to indicate if the BCCH shall be configured on a TRX capable of EPCR (EGPRS Packet Channel Request) or on the least capable TRX. YES: Traverse the list of TRX:s from the most capable to the least capable. NO: Traverse the list of TRX:s from the least capable to the most capable.EACPREF is only valid for Channel Group 0.

The parameter defines the level of priority EGPRS shall have over GPRS. 0 = OFF 1= Load balacing activated and all TBFs have same priority 2 – 100(This number of times priority of E and G and B TBF) = E-TBFs have higher priority over G- and B-TBFs

This parameter limits the total number of on-demand PDCHs in the channel group. The parameter indicates a percentage value of number of deblocked FR TCHs in the channel group that can be allocated as on-demand PDCHs. Note: The number of TCHs that can be used as on-demand PDCHs will be truncated to an integer.Defines what kind of on-demand PDCHs are possible to pre-empt for the CS traffic: 0 No PDCHs protected. 1 PDCHs used for DTM protected 2 PDCHS used for Streaming protected. 3 PDCHs used for DTM and PDCHs used for Streaming protected. 4 Essential PDCHs protected. 5 Essential PDCHs and PDCHs used for DTM protected. 6 Essential PDCHs and PDCHs used for Streaming protected

This parameter restricts and prioritises GPRS/EGPRS traffic to a certain subcell: UL GPRS/EGPRS is restricted to the underlaid subcell. OL GPRS/EGPRS is restricted to the overlaid subcell. BOTHUL GPRS is allowed in both subcells and the underlaid subcell will be prioritised. BOTHOL GPRS is allowed in both subcells and the overlaid subcell will be prioritised.

ONDEMANDGPHDEV is a parameter for the minimum number of 16 kbps GSL devices reserved for semi-dedicated and on-demand PDCHs per RPP based RP, set per BSC. If E TCHs or G-TCHs are configured then four 16 kbps GSL devices must be reserved for each semi-dedicated or on-demand PDCH.ONDEMANDGPHDG2 is a parameter for the minimum number of 16 kbps GSL devices reserved for semi-dedicated and on-demand PDCHs per GARP-2 based RP, set per BSC. If E-TCHs or G-TCHs are configured then four 16 kbps GSL devices must be reserved for each semi-dedicated or on-demand PDCH

GPRSNWMODE sets the GPRS/EGPRS network operation mode.The following values are available: 1: GPRS/EGPRS Network operation mode I, with Master PDCH. The Gs interface between the MSC and the SGSN shall be present. The first dedicated PDCH allocated in the cell will be the master PDCH, see the parameter FPDCH (see FPDCH) 2: GPRS/EGPRS Network operation mode II. No master PDCH will be allocated in the cell. 3: GPRS/EGPRS Network operation mode III. The first dedicated PDCH allocated in the cell will be the master PDCH, see the parameter FPDCH (see FPDCH)Defines the way that GPRS/EGPRS MS frequency band capabilities are handled: 0: MS frequency capability is considered when allocating and revising channels for TBF transfers. If the MS frequency capabilities are not available, only the BCCH frequency band is available. 1: All GPRS/EGPRS MSs are assumed to be capable of all frequency bands. MS frequency capability is considered when allocating and reserving cahnnels for TBF transfers. If the MS frequency capabilities are not available, all frequency bands are available 2: All GPRS/EGPRS MSs are assumed to be capable of both GSM 900 frequency sub-bands. MS frequency capability is considered when allocating and reserving channels for TBF transfers. If the MS frequency capabilities are not available, both GSM 900 frequency sub-bands are available. Note that this parameter value is only applicable if the BCCH is configured in the P-GSM band.

When all currently allocated PDCH have the TBFDLLIMIT number of TBFs allocated an allocation attempt of more on-demand PDCH is done. If the allocation attempt fails, TBFs will be allocated on the existing PDCH, up to and including the limit of 80, when congestion occurs. Note this parameter has a decimal granularity, i.e. 20 represents value 2.0.When all currently allocated PDCH have the TBFULLIMIT number of TBFs allocated an allocation attempt of more on-demand PDCH is done. If the allocation attempt fails, TBFs will be allocated on the existing PDCH, up to and including the limit of 60, when congestion occurs. Note this parameter has a decimal granularity, i.e. 20 represents value 2.0

Indicates if Timeslot Number 7 on the BCCH frequency can be configured with TCHs supporting EGPRS and GPRS, or GPRS only.TN7BCCH is only valid for the channel group 0.
