1 Network Identity Parameters
1.1 Cell Global Identity (CGI)
1.1.1 Definition
4s a global cellular mobile communication system@ each G%M network of every
country or even each location area@ ,% and cell in each network have strict numbers@
to ensure that every cell worldwide has a uniAue number. ,he use of this numbering
scheme can achieve the following purposesB
It allows the M% to correctly identify the current network so that it can select the
network the subscriber (or operator wants to enter in any environment.
It allows the network to know the e=act location of a M% in real time so that the
network can normally connect various service reAuests to the M%.
It allows the M% to report the correct adacent cells to the network during calls@ so that
the network can maintain the calls through handover when necessary.
,he CGI is one of the maor network identity parameters.
1.1.2 Format
#ig. 1.1 81 shows the schematic diagram for the CGI.
#ig. 1.181 Composition of the CGI
,he CGI is composed of the 5ocation 4rea Identity (54I and Cell Identity (CI. ,he
54I further includes Mobile County Code (MCC@ Mobile 2etwork Code (M2C and
5ocation 4rea Code (54C@ as shown in #ig. 1.1 81. ,he CGI information is sent in

the system messages broadcast by each cell. -hen a M% receives the system messages@
it e=tracts the CGI information inside and determine whether it can camp on the cell
according to the MCC and M2C indicated by the CGI. 4t the same time@ it checks
whether the current location area has changed to determine whether location update is
reAuired. !uring the location update process@ the M% reports the 54I information to the
network to allow the network to know the e=act cell where the M% is in. ,he format of
the CGI is MCC8M2C854C8CI.
MCCB It consists of three decimal numbers@ within the range of 999 D 777 (decimal. It
is &*9 for China.
M2CB It consists of two decimal numbers@ within the range of 99 D 77 (decimal.
54CB It is within the range of 1D*))$). ,he 54C is 99 for China Mobile@ and 91 for
China Unicom.
CI (Cell IdentityB It is within the range of 9 D *))$).
1.1.3 Settin and Infl!en"e
4s a global uniAue country identity standard@ the MCC resources are allocated and
managed by I,U in a unified manner. ,he mobile country code for China is &*9
(decimal.
,he M2C is usually allocated by the related telecom management authority of a
country in a unified manner. Currently@ there are two G%M networks in China@ which
are run by China ,elecom and China Unicom@ with the M2Cs to be 99 and 91
respectively.
:ach country has its specification for the coding method of 54C. China ,elecom has
specification for the coding method of 54C on its G%M network without e=ception
(#or details@ see the related specification for G%M published by the former Ministry of'osts and Communications of China. Usually@ in the earlier stage when a network is
built@ the allocation and coding of the 54C are determined and are seldom modified
during running.
,he siEe of 54C (that is@ the coverage of one 54C is a very key factor in the system.
Generally@ you should make the location area as large as possible.
#or the allocation of the CI@ there is no special restriction@ and it can be any value
within 9D*))$) (decimal. +owever@ you must ensure that not any two cells in one
location area have the same CI. Usually@ this has already been determined in the system

design of the network. Unless in special cases (for e=ample@ ,%s are added in the
system@ you should not modify the CI during the running of the system.
1.1.# Pre"a!tions
,he MCC should not be modified.
,he M2C should not be modified.
,he 54C should be set in strict accordance with the related specification of China
,elecom. 4void the cases where two or more location areas in the network (throughout
the country have the same 54C.
-hen you set the CI@ you must note that no two or more cells can have the same CI in
one location area.
1.2 $ase Station Identity Code ($SIC)
1.2.1 Definition
In the G%M system@ each ,% is allocated with one local color code@ known as %IC.
If a M% can receive the CC+ carriers of two cells at a location with the same channel
number@ the M% distinguishes them according to the %IC. In network planning@ the
CC+ carriers of the adacent cells should use different freAuencies in order to reduce
co8freAuency interference. n the other hand@ the characteristics of the cellular
communication system determine that the CC+ carriers are certain to have the
possibility of reuse. #or these cells using the same CC+ carrier freAuencies@ you must
ensure that they have different %ICs@ as shown in #ig. 1." 8".

channel numbers@ and other cells use different channel numbers as the CC+ carriers.
Usually@ cells 4@ @ C@ !@ : and # must use the same %IC. -hen the %IC resource is
insufficient@ different %ICs should be first ensured for the close cells. #or cell :@ if
there are not sufficient %IC resources@ different %ICs should be first used for cells !
and :@ and :@ and # and :@ while cells 4 and :@ and C and : can have the same
%ICs.
Its maor functions areB
1. 4fter a M% receives the %C+@ it believes that it has been synchroniEed with the
cell. +owever@ to correctly decode the information on the downlink public
signaling channel@ the M% also needs to know the ,raining %eAuence Code(,%C used by the signaling channel. 4ccording to the specification of G%M@ the
,%C is available in eight fi=ed formats@ which are represented with seAuence
numbers 9 D / respectively. ,he common signaling channel of each cell uses the
,%C determined by the CC of the cell. ,herefore@ one of the functions of the
%IC is to notify the M% of the ,%C used by the common signaling channel of
the current cell.
". %ince the %IC has participated in the decoding process of the andom 4ccess
Channel (4C+@ it can be used to prevent the ,% from sending the M% to the
4C+ of the adacent cell@ for misinterpretation as the access channel of the
current cell.
$. -hen the M% is in the connection mode (during calls@ it measures the CC+
carrier of the adacent cell and reports the results to the ,%@ according to the
specification of the adacent cell table on the CC+. 4t the same time@ the M%
must give the %IC of the carrier it has measured for each freAuency point in the
uplink measurement report. -hen in a special environment where the adacent
cells of one cell have two or more cells use the same CC+ carriers@ the ,%
can distinguish these cells based on the %IC@ to avoid incorrect handover@ or
even handover failure.
&. ,he M% must measure the signals of the adacent cells in the connection mode
(conversation process@ and reports the measurement results to the network.
%ince each measurement report sent by the M% only includes the contents of si=
adacent cells@ the M% must be controlled to report only the cells actually with
handover relationships with the current cells. ,he higher three bits in the %IC
(that is@ 2CC are used for the above purpose. ,he network operator can use the

In many cases@ different G%M'5M2s use the same freAuency resources@ which@
however@ are somewhat independent in network planning. ,o ensure that the adacent
,%s with the same freAuency points have different %ICs in this case@ it is usually
specified that the adacent G%M'5M2s should select different 2CCs.
It is special in China. %trictly speaking@ the G%M network provided by China ,elecom
is a complete and independent G%M network. 4lthough China ,elecom has numerous
local mobile offices under it@ they all belong to one operator H China ,elecom.
+owever@ as China is a large country with a vast territory@ it is very difficult to
implement complete unified management. ,herefore@ the entire G%M network is
divided into parts managed by the mobile offices (or local organiEations in various
provinces and cities. n the other hand@ the mobile offices in various places are
independent of each other in network planning. ,o ensure that the ,%s with the same
CC+ freAuencies on the borders between various provinces and cities have different
%ICs@ the 2CCs of various provinces and cities in China should be managed by China
,elecom in a unified manner.

as possible. In addition@ according to the G%M specification@ the ,%C of the CC+
carrier in a cell should be the same as the CC of the cell. Usually@ the manufacturer
should maintain such consistency.
1.2.# Pre"a!tions
It must be ensured that the adacent or nearby cells with the same CC+ carrier have
different %ICs. 'articularly@ when the adacent set of one cell has two more cells
having the same CC+ carriers@ it must be ensured that these two cells have different
%ICs. ou must pay special attention to the configuration of the cells on the borders
of various provinces and cities to avoid inter8cell handover failure.

2 System Control Parameters
2.1 $CC% Carrier &ransmitted Power ($SP'$)
2.1.1 Definition
,he outputted power level of the ,% is usually adustable@ and different power levels
can be set for CC+ carriers and non8CC+ carriers. 'ower level means the outputted
power of the power amplifier. ,he %'- sets the transmitted power level of the
CC+ carrier of the ,%. ,his parameter has a huge impact on the coverage range of
the ,%.
2.1.2 Format
,he %'- is a decimal number@ in dm@ within the range of 9 D &*.
2.1.3 Settin and Infl!en"e
,he %'- has a huge impact on the actual coverage range of the cell. If thisparameter is set to too high a level@ the actual coverage range of the cell will become
larger@ causing great interference to the adacent cells. If this parameter is set to too
small a value@ gaps may occur between adacent cells@ causing Fblind areas. ,herefore@
the %'- should be strictly based on the design of network planning. nce set@ do
not change them in running unless absolutely necessary.
-hen the network is e=panded or due to other reasons (for e=ample@ the geographical
environment changes@ the parameter should be modified. efore and after the
parameter is modified@ you should perform complete field strength test on site@ and
adust the coverage range of the cell according to the actually conditions.
2.2 Common Control Cannel Confi!ration (CCC%*C+NF)
2.2.1 Definition
,he CCC+ can be borne by one physical channel or multiple physical channels@ and
the CCC+ and the %!CC+ can share one physical channel. ,he combination mode of
the CCC+ in a cell is determined by the CCC+0C2#.

adusting this parameter. ou can observe the following principles when you are doing
thisB
1. ,he 4G56 should take the following valueB n the precondition that the
4GC+ is not overloaded@ the parameter should be kept as small as possible to

2.#.1 Definition
4ccording to the G%M specification@ every M% subscriber (corresponding to each
IM%I belongs to one paging group. #or the calculation of the paging group@ see G%M
9).9". In each cell@ every paging group corresponds to one paging sub8channel@ and the
M% calculates its paging group according to its own IM%I@ and further the location of
the paging sub8channel belonging to the paging group. In an actual network@ a M% can
only Flisten to its paging sub8channel while ignoring the contents on other sub8
channels. -hen it is in other paging sub8channels@ it even turns off the power of some
its hardware devices to save power (that is@ the source of the !

2.#.3 Settin and Infl!en"e
It is within the range of " D 7@ in multi8frames ()1 frames@ defaulted to ".
4ccording to the combination between CCC+ and %!CC+@ and the definitions of the
4G56 and %8'48M#M%@ you can calculate the number of paging sub8channels of
each cellB
1. -hen CCC+ and %!CC+ are combinedB ($84G56 J %8'48M#M%.
". -hen CCC+ and %!CC+ are not combinedB (784G56 J %8'48M#M%.
4ccording to the above analysis@ the larger the %8'48M#M%@ the more the paging
sub8channels of the cell@ and accordingly the lower the number of subscribers
belonging to each paging sub8channel. #or details@ see the calculation about the paging
group in the G%M 9).9". ,herefore@ the bearer capability of the paging channel
becomes more powerful. 2ote that the capacity of the paging channel has not increased
in theory@ but that the buffer of the paging messages is e=panded for each ,%@ for
evener transmission of paging messages in time and space. +owever@ the above
advantage is obtained at the cost of the average delay of the paging message on the
radio channel. In other words@ the larger the %8'48M#M% is@ the greater of the delay
of the paging messages in the space segment becomes@ and the average service
performance of the system decreases. bviously@ the %8'48M#M% is an important
parameter for network optimiEation.

#.7 Call eestablisment Permission ()
#.7.1 Definition
In the case of call drop due to radio link failure resulting from abrupt interference or
blind areas caused by high buildings@ the M% can initiate the cell reestablishment
process to recover the call@ but the network has the right to determine whether to allow
such call reestablishment.
#.7.2 Format
9 means that the cell allows call reestablishment and 1 means that the cell does not
allow call reestablishment.
#.7.3 Settin and Infl!en"e
In a certain environment@ a M% will e=perience a call drop when it passes a blind spot.
If call reestablishment is allowed@ the average call drop ratio can be reduced. +owever@
the call reestablishment process takes a long time@ and most subscribers have hanged
up before such reestablishment is completed. ,herefore@ reestablishment does not
achieve its purpose@ while many radio resources are wasted. ,herefore@ you are
recommended to disable call reestablishment on the network e=cept for a few particular
cells.
