Introduction to BSS Radio


Parameters
900/1800 MHz TDMA digital celluar mobile communication system
(GSM) is an integrated system covering fields of network tech-
nology, digital stored program control technology, all transmission
technologies and radio technologies.
GSM consists of Network Sub System (NSS), Base Station Sub-
system (BSS) and Mobile Station (MS).
GSM system signaling structure covers MAP interface, A-interface
(between MSC and BSC), Abis interface (between BSC and BTS),
Ater interface (between BSC and external TC) and Um interface
(between BTS and MS, also called air interface).
All these objects and interfaces contain large quantity of configura-
tion parameters and performance parameters, some of which are
determined during the development and production of the equip-
ment, and most of which depend on actual need and operation by
network providers. Settings and adjustment of latter parameters
have a great impact on the operation of entire GSM network.
Radio parameters in GSM network refer to parameters related to
radio devices and radio resources. These parameters have an im-
portant impact on coverage of cells, distribution of signaling flow
and service property of network, etc. Therefore, adjusting radio
parameters reasonably plays a very important part in GSM net-
work optimization.
GSM radio parameters are classified into project parameters and
resource (cell) parameters.

ZXG10 iBSC Radio Parameter Reference

1. Project parameters
Project parameters refer to parameters related to design,
installation, and commissioning of the project, like antenna
height, antenna direction, antenna gain, antenna download
obliquity and cable loss, etc. These parameters must be
determined during network design and are seldom changed
during the operation of the network.
2. Resource (cell) parameters
Resource (cell) parameters refer to parameters related to
configuration and utilization of radio resources, which usually
transmit on radio interface (Um) to keep the base station
and mobile station consistent. Radio parameters covered in
this manual are mainly resource parameters. Radio resource
parameters in BSS contain:
GERAN subnetwork parameters, BSC management NE pa-
rameters, configuration set parameters;
Global resource parameters for BSC, site parameters,
GERAN external cell parameters, UTRAN external cell
parameters;
Cell Parameters;
TRX parameters, power control parameters, handover con-
trol parameters, UTRAN handover control parameters, ad-
jacent interference cell parameters, adjacent handover cell
parameters, adjacent reselection cell parameters, adjacent
handover and reselection cell parameters, UTRAN adjacent
cell handover and reselection parameters, UTRAN adjacent
handover cell parameters, UTRAN adjacent reselection cell
parameters, frequency hopping system parameters.

7. Modify the data file according to actual requirement, and save


it.
The operation indications are described as follows.
i. D indicates deleting the MO. A indicates adding the MO. M
indicates modifying the MO (this command is issued only
when the parameter value is changed). Any value beyond
D, A and M (including the lower case form) will be ignored
by the system, and the corresponding data in that row will
not be processed.
ii. For the same management object MO (such as cell, cell
power control and cell handover control), if the operation
type (D, A or M) appears in multiple exported tables, then
the operation types of all columns must be the same; oth-
erwise, the system will give error prompt.
iii. No matter how many records in the Excel table should be
deleted, created or modified, the system performs deletion
first, then performs creation, and finally performs modifi-
cation.

Note:
The order of operations has nothing to do with the order of
records being displayed in the Excel file.

iv. If multiple objects among which reference relationship ex-


ists should be deleted, the system first deletes the active
reference object (such as sub-object), and then deletes
the passive reference object (such as parent-object). If
multiple objects among which reference relationship exists
should be created, the system first creates the passive ref-
erence object (such as parent-object), and then creates the
active reference object (such as sub-object). If multiple ob-
jects among which reference relationship exists should be
modified, the system first modifies the passive reference
object (such as parent-object), and then modifies the ac-
tive reference object (such as sub-object).
The following lists the restriction conditions.
i. The exported Excel file is the import template.
ii. In the Excel template, the work sheet name cannot be mod-
ified.
iii. In the Excel template, the title row in the work sheet cannot
be modified, the frozen column cannot be modified, and
the cell type cannot be modified. However, common data
columns and data rows can be deleted.
iv. The parameter that cannot be modified on the interface
cannot be modified in the batch modification.
v. In the Excel template, the attributes USERLABEL, MCC,
MNC, LAC and CI appear in multiple work sheets, but only
the modification in the network parameter list is valid.
vi. The parameter MAIO of channels supporting baseband fre-
quency hopping cannot be modified.

2. Some parameter values in the interface are not fully same as
those in database, with certain corresponding relationship be-
tween them. For specific corresponding relationship see ap-
pendix.

Precautions on Parameter
Adjustment
Radio parameters adjustment, according to the type of the prob-
lem to be solved, falls into two kinds.
First is to solve static problem, that is, to correct traffic model
in system design by measuring actual average traffic and sig-

naling flow in every district and to solve common problems


existing for long.
Second is to solve problems at a particular time like traffic over-
load in some district, channel congestion due to sudden events
or random events.
For the first type, service providers must perform measurement
and summarization on actual operation regularly, and then per-
form appropriate adjustment on global or partial parameters and
configurations. For the second type, network operators adjust
some radio parameters at real time according to instant data from
measurement results.
Most radio parameters in GSM system are based on one cell or
one location area. It is necessary to consider whether parameter
adjustment in this cell will influence other cells, especially the ad-
jacent one, for parameters between cells are related to each other
greatly. Otherwise, it may cause negative influence. Determine
whether the problem results from equipment fault (including con-
nections) first when it occurs in some part of the network. Adjust
radio parameters only when determined that the problem does re-
sult from service.

This parameter defines that BSC automatically


indicates to MSC about the ratio of presently available
channels to the total channels. When available cell
resource is lower than this parameter, resource
indication shall be sent to MSC about this cell
condition, which shall be configured by O&M.
The four modes of resource indication from
BSC are as follows:
Automatic Mode: BSC instantly returns the
BSSAP RESOURCE INDICATION message as an
acknowledgment without any resource information
after receiving the BSSAP RESOURCE REQUEST
message. BSC automatically sends BSSAP
RESOURCE INDICATION message to MSC. BSC
uses the periodicity IE in BSSAP RESOURCE
REQUEST to determine the indication messages
interval (unless the Periodicity IE is 0 and
BSC ignores 0) once O&M of BSC satisfies
the Auto condition (service threshold or the
interval between any two messages).
One time mode: BSC instantly returns a BSSAP
RESOURCE INDICATION message with resource
information after receiving BSSAP RESOURCE
REQUEST message. BSC stops sending and
waits for next BSSAP RESOURCE REQUEST if
the BSSAP RESOURCE REQUEST message does
not contain Extended Resource Indication IE. If
there is Extended Resource Indication IE, BSC
shall follow the regulations of Subsequent Mode
element in the message, same as mode 4. If the
previous one is mode 1 or 3, then you can use
mode 1 or 3, otherwise you can use mode 4.
Period mode: After BSC receives the BSSAP
RESOURCE REQUEST message, it will immediately
return a BSSAP RESOURCE INDICATION
message that contains the resource information.
After that, BSC periodically sends the BSSAP
RESOURCE INDICATION message. If Periodicity
IE in the BSSAP RESOURCE REQUEST message
is not 0, then the period to send the message is
the value of Periodicity IE multiplied by 100 ms.
If Periodicity IE is 0, then the message is wrong
and the whole BSSAP RESOURCE REQUEST
message is considered as incorrect.
Stop mode: After the BSSAP RESOURCE
REQUEST message is received, BSC immediately
returns a BSSAP RESOURCE INDICATION
message without any resource information as an
acknowledgement. And then, it will no longer
Description send the cell resource information to MSC.

Overload contains overloads of CPU, MSC signaling

In cell overload conditions, BSC adopts a timer
mT12 for traffic flow control. The mT12 timer in
combination with mT11 timer modifies ACCESS
CONTROL parameter in the cell. BSC notifies the MS
to achieve flow control through system information.
The value of timer must be more than that of mT11
timer. The two clocks control the cell flow as follows:
Description When the network receives the overload message for
the first time, the system decreases the flow by one
level, and starts mT11 and mT12. The OVERLOAD
message during mT11 period will be ignored. If the
OVERLOAD message is received between mT11 and
mT12, the flow will be decreased by another level and
both mT11 and mT12 will be restarted. If BSC does
not receive OVERLOAD message after mT12 timer
stops, the flow increases to one more level, and the
mT12 timer restarts. Lower grade and higher grade
represent different proportion to reject service.

This parameter is timer T3191. During the packet


downlink transmission, if the BSN of the RLC data
block to be transmitted is the maximum (that is,
the final downlink data block), the network will
send a RLC data block whose Final Block Identifier
(FBI) domain is 1 and which includes effective
RRBP domain to initialize release of the downlink
TBF. Then the network starts T3191. For each
RLC data block that receives FBI with value 1
and contains effective RRBP domain:
In acknowledged mode, the MS sends PACKET
DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message whose FBI
domain is 1 on the uplink block specified by
the RRBP domain. If the network receives the
PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message before
T3191 expires and has to re-transmit it, T3191
is stopped and the required RLC data block is
re-transmitted. If re-transmission is not required,
T3191 is stopped and T3193 is started. When
T3193 expires, the network releases TBF. The
network also releases TBF when T3191 stops.
In unacknowledged mode, MS sends the PACKET
CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGE message in the
uplink block specified as per RRBP field. T3191
terminates to enable only when the network
receives the PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGE
message before T3191 stops. When T3193
expires, the network releases TBF. The network

9.05 kbps, 13.4 kbps, 15.6 kbps, and 21.4 kbps,
respectively. The low level coding mode has
higher error correction capability and lower data
throughput. User can choose different coding
modes for each timeslot or even each TBF.
During data transmission of GRPR, to reach the
maximum radio throughput, the network shall
select the coding mode dynamically according to
the data rate requirement and radio transmission
quality. Good radio transmission quality means
that the probability of the retransmission of the
error radio blocks is small. In this time the coding
mode that carries large data volume (that is,
high level coding mode) can be used.
For TBF (uplink and downlink) in the channel
coding mode CSn (1n3), if the number of data
blocks transmitted consecutively and correctly
exceeds the predefined parameter Cn[n-1], the
coding mode will be increased by one level.
Subscript 1, 2, and 3 in the interface are

on the same channel of GPRS paging channel
(packet or CCCH paging channel), or on the
GPRS traffic channel (when it is assigned with
a packet data channel). Mode 1 indicates that

Network operation mode 1 is required while
configuring PBCCH; Gs interfce is required
while configuring network operation mode 1.
Mode 2: The network sends to the
GPRS-attached MS the CS paging message
on the CCCH paging channel, which is also

the CCCH paging channel.
Mode 3: The network sends to the
"GPRS-attached" MS the CS paging message on
the CCCH paging channel, and sends the GPRS
paging message either on the packet paging
channel (if any in the cell) or on the CCCH
paging channel. Mode 3 indicates that the MS

3GPP reference Section 44.060 12.24, 23.060, 48.018

This parameter is broadcasted through SI13,


PSI1, and PSI13 messages.
In EGPRS system with broadband features,
the QoS concept of UMTS has been imported,
which enables transferring the negotiable QoS
configuration to BSS through Gb interface.
BSS can maintain QoS subscribing information
through function PFC (packet flow context) flow,
which include acquiring QoS, modifying QoS,
and deleting QoS signaling flow.
Network notifies MS if the network supports PFC
flow through the system message parameter
PFC_FEATURE_MODE. If yes, the MS will add
PFI when establishing uplink TBF (PACKET
RESOURCE REQUEST). BSS can decide QoS
Description as MS requires according to PFI.

Enhanced radio status procedures


support (EnRadioStu)

Full name Enhanced radio status procedures support

Abbreviation EnRadioStu

3GPP Name None

3GPP
reference None

On the basis of Radio Status, enhanced Radio Status


reports three more cause values:
x02: Indicates the enhanced Radio Status process
is used when the cell reselection occurs. Usually,
it helps satisfy the service requirement to the
maximum extent.
x03: Indicates the enhanced Radio Status process
is used when the MS is required to perform cell
reselection and LLC frame transferring is not
supported.
x04: Indicates that SGSN is notified when BSC
detects cell reselection failure.
SGSN has the following responses:
Description When Radio Status with the cause value x02
is received, the downlink LLC frame sending is
resumed after cell reselection is completed.
When Radio Status with the cause value x03
is received, either the downlink data sending is
resumed after cell reselection is completed, or
Radio Status with other cause values are received.
When Radio Status with the cause value x04 is
received, if there are data to be sent to MS, then
the downlink LLC frame sending is resumed.
With Radio Status that supports multiple cause values,
SGSN can better understand the status of MS, which
avoids sending data to the old cell blindly.
This parameter is supported from version 6.20.21.

Full name GPRS MAX initial access signal level

Abbreviation MsTxMaxCCH_0

3GPP Name GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH

3GPP reference 3GPP TS 45.008 V5.22.0

This parameter is used at MS side. It is broadcasted


to MS via system message by BTS. Network controls
the MS transmit power during communication
with BTS. The network controls MS power using
power command. MS outputs transmit power
closest to the specified power value if unavailable.
The power before MS receives the network
power control information (the power used in
random access), depends on this parameter
when MS is receiving PBCCH.
This parameter is also a parameter for cell
selection and reselection by MS, involved in
calculation of C1 and C2 values.
Refer to Appendix C, for the maximum power before
MS receives the power control information.
The principle of setting this parameter is as
follows: Under the precondition that the MS at
the cell boundary is guaranteed with a certain
access success rate, the MS access level should
be reduced as much as possible. Generally, it
is recommended to set this parameter as 5 (for
GSM900MS) and 2 (for GSM1800MS).
In actual application, after the parameter is set,
make a dial test at the cell boundary, and test MS
access success rate and access time with different
parameter settings to determine whether to increase
or decrease the value of the parameter.
This parameter indicates the parameters used
during reselection on idle status, which only

MS in single-frequency GSM system needs


only to report contents of six adjacent cells
with the strongest signals in a frequency
band, when reporting the survey result of
adjacent cells to the network.
In multi-band networking, MS can enter with priority
into a specific frequency band during handover.
The MS reports the survey result according to the
signal intensity and the frequency band of the
signals, according to the actual situation.
Multiband report indication is used to notify
MS to report contents of adjacent cells in
multiple frequency bands. It is one of the
system control parameters.
The setting of this parameter is subject to traffic
in each frequency band. General principles to set
the parameters are as follows: 0: If the traffic of
each frequency band is almost equivalent, and the
operator has no choice over the frequency band.
3: If the traffic of each frequency band is quite
different, and the operator hopes that MS enters
a specific frequency band with priority.
The values are as follows:
0: According to adjacent cell's signal strength,
MS reports the measurement result of six
adjacent cells with the strongest known and
permitted NCC. This report is applicable for
adjacent cells of all frequency bands.
1: MS reports the measurement result of
an adjacent cell with the strongest signal
at frequency bands in the adjacent cell list
(excluding frequency band of the local cell).
In the remaining space, MS reports adjacent
cells which are at the local cell's frequency
band. If there is still remaining space, MS
reports the remaining adjacent cells, no matter
what frequency bands they are at.
2: MS reports the measurement result of
two adjacent cells with the strongest signal
at frequency bands in the adjacent cell list
(excluding frequency band of the local cell).
In the remaining space, MS reports adjacent
cells which are at the local cell's frequency
band. If there is still remaining space, MS
reports the remaining adjacent cells, no matter
what frequency bands they are at.
3: MS reports the measurement result of
three adjacent cells with the strongest signal
at frequency bands in the adjacent cell
list (excluding frequency band of the local
cell). In the remaining space, MS reports
adjacent cell in local cell frequency band. If
still more space is available, MS reports the
remaining adjacent cells, no matter what
Description frequency bands they are at.

the measurement data of adjacent cell, either
BCCH adjacent cell list or SACCH adjacent cell

MIN received signal level to access


(RxLevAccessMin)

Full name MIN received signal level to access

Abbreviation RxLevAccessMin

3GPP Name RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN

3GPP reference 3GPP TS45.008 V5.22.0

To prevent the MS from accessing the system


at a low receiving signal level (usually, the
poor communication quality cannot guarantee
normal communications after access), and
from unreasonably wasting the radio sources of
network, it is prescribed in the GSM system that
the receiving level be greater than a threshold
for MS to access the network, that is, MS Min
RxLev to Access (the minimum receiving level
for the MS to access the network).
In addition, the criterion assists MS to select
and reselect the cell. The parameter will be
broadcast to all MSs in a cell through the RIL3_RR
SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE3 and TYPE4
messages. MIN received signal level to access is
one of the cell selection parameters.
Recommended value is usually approximated
according to MS receiving sensitivity. When
network observes uneven traffic distribution in
certain cells, MIN received signal level to access
increases the resulting C1 and C2 to decrease the
cell effective coverage range. However, the value
of this parameter cannot be too large. Otherwise,
large value change can bring void area across cell
boundaries to result in sudden call drop problem.
With this measure for traffic balance, it is suggested
that the level value should not exceed -90dBm. At
the preliminary running stage of the network, this
parameter can be usually set as 10 (that is, -101
dBm ~ -100 dBm) or lower, which is higher than
the MS receiving sensitivity 102 dBm. However,
when the network capacity is expanded or the radio
coverage in a cell is not a problem, this parameter
Description of the cell can be increased by 2 (dB).

Chapter 4 Cell Parameters

This parameter is used at MS side. It belongs to


the PRACH control and RACH control parameters,
and it is broadcast to the MS in the PSI1 message.
Whenever establishing a new connection, MS
sends a channel request message to the network
through PRACH/RACH channel.
As PRACH/RACH is an ALOHA channel, to improve
MS access success rate, the network allows
MS to send multiple channel request messages
before receiving packet assignment message.
If MS does not receive any response for the
previous channel request message, MS resends
the channel request message after waiting for a
random period. Network uses this parameter to
determine the random waiting time.
The timeslot interval between two channel request
messages should be a value randomly selected
from the set {S, S+1..., S+T-1}.
The relationship between S and T is as follows.
When T is 3, 8, 14, or 50, S: 55 (CCCH);

Control channel MAX power level


(MsTxPwrMaxCch)

Full name Control channel MAX power level

Abbreviation MsTxPwrMaxCch

3GPP Name MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH

3GPP reference 3GPP TS45.008 V5.22.0

During the communication between MS and


BTS, the transmission power is controlled by the
network. The network sets the power for MS
through the power command and the command
is transmitted on SACCH (SACCH has 2 header
bytes, one is the power control byte and the
other is the timing advance byte).
MS must extract the power control header
from downward SACCH and takes the specified
transmission power as output power. If the
power level of MS cannot output the power
value, it will output the closest transmission
power that can be output.
For SACCH is Channel Associated Signaling and it
has to be used together with SCCCH and TCH, so the
power control of MS starts after MS receives SACCH.
The power of MS before receiving SACCH (that is
the power when sending channel request on RACH)
is determined by Control channel MAX power level.
Control channel MAX power level is one of the
cell selection and reselection parameters of MS,
involving calculation of C1 and C2 values.
This parameter is broadcasted to all MS in the cell via
RIL3_RR SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE3 and TYPE4.
Refer to appendix C, for the maximum power before
MS receives the power control information.
If this parameter is set too large, the MS near
BTS will interfere the adjacent channels. If it
is too small, the MS at the cell boundaries will
have low access success rate.
Setting principle: in the premise of certain MS
access success rate at the cell edge, decrease the
access level of MS as much as possible. Generally,
it is recommended to set this parameter as 5 (for
GSM900MS) and 0 (for GSM1800MS).

Full name Number of multi-frames of the PCH

Abbreviation BsPaMframs

3GPP Name BS-PA-MFRMS

3GPP reference 3GPP TS45.002 V5.13.0

Number of multiframes of the PCH specifies the


repeat cycle of PCH group subchannel using
multiple 51-MultiFrame structures. It is one of
the system control parameters.
According to GSM Specifications, a unique IMSI
identifies MS and paging group. IMSI determines
the PCH sub-channel for MS in a paging group.
In the actual network, MS tunes only to the paging
sub-channel during IDLE mode in the serving cell
and ignores other paging sub-channels. In other
IDLE time, MS shuts off the hardware equipment
power supply to save power. Number of multiframes
of the PCH determines the number of paging
sub-channels of the paging channel in a cell.
MS use this parameter to find out its home

Abbreviation AccessControl

3GPP Name AC CN, Access Control Class N

3GPP reference 3GPP TS 44.018 V5.22.0

All MSs in GSM system have an access class (15


classes in total). The MSs that are in the class
ranging between 0 and 9 are common ones. The
MSs that are in the class ranging between 11 and
15 are special MSs (no access class 10). Therefore,
the system can disable the MSs with certain access
classes to access the cell (for example during the
installation and commissioning or the congestion
control). This information can reach MS inside the
cell in RIL3_RR SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE1, 2,
2bis, 3 and 4 messages through Access control. It
is also one of the system control parameters.
The degree of congestion for any CCCH or processor
overload during congestion control can be reduced
by temporarily prohibiting one type or multiple
types of subscribers from accessing the system (for
subscribers of access levels 0 ~ 9). In general, the
system shows the following overload conditions:
RACH overload should be detected in the CCCH
LOAD INDICATION message and processed
by BSS according to the GSM08.58.
AGCH overload should be detected in the
DELETE INDICATION message. At that moment,
the number of IMMEDIATE REJECT messages or
IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT messages that BSS
fails to send reaches a certain number.
PCH overload should be detected in the CCCH

Chapter 4 Cell Parameters

The cell reselection due to radio channel quality


takes C2 as the standard. C2 is formed according to
C1 parameter, and some special offset parameters,
to add the special influence as to enable MS to
enter some cells in priority. Usually, such measures
allow balancing the traffic on the network.
Besides C1, there are three factors affecting
C2: Cell reselection offset, Temporary
offset, and Penalty time.
Cell reselection offset is a magnitude value,
which indicates the human modified value of C2.
Calculate a modified value of C2 to encourage
or prevent MS accessing a certain cell, so as
to implement balance network.
Network broadcasts the parameter information
to all MSs in the cell through RIL3_RR SYSTEM
INFORMATION TYPE3 and TYPE4 messages. It is
one of the cell selection parameters. Whether this
parameter is valid depends on CellReselPI.
The setting of ReselOffset, TemporaryOffset, and
PenaltyTime has the following three cases:
In case of large traffic or poor communication
quality inside a cell due to certain causes, MS
is expected not to work in that cell (that is,
MS has certain repulsion to that cell).
Penalty time can be set as 31 in such cases.
Temporary offset is invalid, and the numerical
value of C2 equals C1 minus this parameter
Cell reselection offset. Therefore, the C2 value
corresponding to the cell is decreased, and
reduces the possibility that MS reselecting
the cell. Besides, the proper value of this
parameter Cell reselection offset can be set
according to the repulsive nature of cell. The
more is the repulsive nature, the larger is
the Cell reselection offset. Vice versa in case
of a smaller Cell reselection offset.
For cells with small traffic and low equipment
utilization, normally MS is encouraged to work in
that cell (that is, certain propensity to that cell).
Cell reselection offset must be set between
0 ~ 10 (corresponding to 0 ~ 20 dB) in this
case, according to tendency of the cell. The
more is the tendency, the larger is the Cell
reselection offset. Vice versa in case of a
smaller Cell reselection offset. It is usually
better to set the Temporary offset same as Cell
reselection offset, or a little higher than Cell
reselection offset. The main function of Penalty
time is to avoid frequent cell reselection of MS.
The common recommended setting is 1 (20
seconds) or 2 (40 seconds) (the 1800 cell of
dual-frequency network is such a case).
For cells with ordinary traffic, usually
ReselOffset should be set as 0 and
PenaltyTime as 31. Thus, C2 is equal to C1,
Description that is, without human factors on the cell.

Cell reselecting hysteresis level

Full name Cell reselecting hysteresis level

Abbreviation ReselHysteresis

3GPP Name CELL_RESELECT_HYSTERESIS

3GPP reference 3GPP TS 45.008 V5.22.0

Whenever MS moves across the two cell


boundary-regions with different location
area codes, it initiates Location Update (LU)
procedure in IDLE mode.
C2 values obtained at the boundary for two adjacent
cells are different because of fading characteristic of
radio channel. It causes MS to select cell frequently.
In this case, LU interval is more than cell reselection
interval. This affects call success rate, due to
unreachable paging response to calling party.
This increases the signaling flow on the network
and causes radio resources to be fully utilized.
In addition, it decreases call completion rate
of the system, as MS cannot respond to
paging during location update.
GSM specification sets a specific parameter, Cell
Reselecting Hysteresis (CRH), to solve this problem.
MS will activate the cell reselection according to this
parameter only when the signal level of adjacent
cell (whose location zone is different from that of
local cell) is greater than that of local cell, and
meanwhile the value difference must be greater
than that required by the parameter.
Network broadcasts the parameter information
to MS in the cell through RIL3_RR SYSTEM
INFORMATION TYPE3 and TYPE4 messages.
Cell reselecting hysteresis level is one of the
cell selection parameters.

Chapter 4 Cell Parameters

Increase cell reselection parameters of adjacent


cells with different LAC. Signaling traffic overload
often occurs due to large demand of services.
When the adjacent cells in different location
areas have large overlapped coverage, it is
suggested to increase the CRH parameter.
If the adjacent cells with different LACs are
poor in overlapped coverage, that is, there
is coverage gap, or the adjacent place is an
area with few slow moving objects such as the
expressway, the CRH parameter shall be set as
1 ~ 3 (that is, 2dB ~ 6dB for the CRH level).

ZXG10 iBSC Radio Parameter Reference

The network side (BTS) may judge whether the radio


link fails according to two criteria: One is based on
the uplink SACCH error rate and the other is based
on measured value of RXLEV/RXQUAL. Radio link
failure criterion determines the method that the BTS
uses as the standard to judge connection failure.
If SACCH error rate is used as the standard to
judge connection failure, BTS uses the same value
of Radio link timeout and the same process as MS
does. Thus, BTS avoids inconsistent judgment
standards in the uplink and downlink directions.
Meanwhile, the Receiving level threshold and
Receiving quality threshold parameters are invalid.
If the measured value of RXLEV/RXQUAL is used
as the standard to judge connection failure,
BTS will use the two parameters: Receiving
level threshold (RxLevThs) and Receiving
quality threshold (RxQualThs).
The value range is as follows:
1: Uplink SACCH Error Rate Based (in order
to ensure the same judgment standard in
the uplink and downlink directions)

Preprocessing indication
(Preprocess)

Full name Preprocessing

Abbreviation Preprocess

3GPP Name None

3GPP reference None

The survey report contains the large amount


(message amount) of Abis interface information.
Preprocess of the survey report can be transferred to
BTS to reduce the burden of Abis interface link. After
preprocess, BTS averages the survey data of MS by
its own, and reports to BSC in a lower frequency.
Average reporting period can be two, three or
four SACCH multi-frames (480 ms). That is,
the frequency decreases from the original twice
per second to once per two seconds, so the
message amount of Abis interface decreases.
However, the decrease of message amount
still depends on if the message length before
preprocess is same as that after preprocess. One
disadvantage of preprocess is that the handover
control and power control are not in time, which
increases the possibility of disconnection rate. This
parameter determines whether to use preprocessing
and the preprocessing period.
The values are as follows:
0: Do not use preprocessing
2: Use preprocessing, the average reporting
period is 2 SACCH multi-frames
3: Use preprocessing, the average reporting

Chapter 4 Cell Parameters

Parameter used at the MS side.


During the packet downlink transmission, if RLC
data block is the final downlink data block to be
transmitted, the network sends the RLC data block
with the Final Block Identifier (FBI) domain as
1. It contains an effective RRBP field to initialize
the release of the downlink TBF.
For each RLC data block that receives FBI with
value 1 and contains effective RRBP domain:
In acknowledged mode, the MS sends
PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message
whose FAI domain is 1 on the uplink block
specified by the RRBP domain.
In unacknowledged mode, MS sends the
PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGE message in
the uplink block specified as per RRBP field.
Then MS starts the T3192 timer.
T3192 releases the resources, stop discreet
listening to the PDCCH channel when it expires, and
turns to the paging channel for discreet listening.
Within the protection period of T3192, if the MS
receives the PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT
or PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message
from the network, T3192 will stop and turn to

ZXG10 iBSC Radio Parameter Reference

This parameter is used at MS side. It is broadcasted


to MS via system message by BTS.
MS needs to go through location updating process
after cell reselection in the case of GPRS cell
reselection, if the original cell and destination cell
are in different locations. C32 values obtained at
the boundary for two adjacent cells are different
because of fading characteristic of radio channel.
It causes MS to select cell frequently.
The interval between the two cell reselections
of MS is not less than 15 s. However, 15 s
is extremely short time in terms of location
updating. This increases the signaling flow on the
network and causes radio resources to be fully
utilized. In addition, it decreases call completion
rate of the system, as MS cannot respond to
paging during location update.
GSM specification sets a specific parameter, Cell
Reselecting Hysteresis (CRH), to solve this problem.
MS will activate the cell reselection according to this
parameter only when the signal level of adjacent
cell (whose location zone is different from that of
local cell) is greater than that of local cell, and
meanwhile the value difference must be greater
than that required by the parameter.
Increase cell reselection parameters of adjacent
cells with different LAC. Signaling traffic overload
often occurs due to large demand of services.
When the adjacent cells in different location
areas have large overlapped coverage, it is
suggested to increase the CRH parameter.
If the adjacent cells with different LACs are
poor in overlapped coverage, that is, there
is coverage gap, or the adjacent place is an
area with few slow moving objects such as the
expressway, the CRH parameter should be set
as 1 ~ 3 (that is, 2dB ~ 6dB for the CRH level).
This parameter indicates the parameters used
during reselection on idle status, which only
Description functions while configuring PBCCH.

Full name GPRS MAX initial access signal level

Abbreviation MsTxMaxCch_0

3GPP reference 3GPP TS 45.008 V5.22.0

This parameter is used at MS side. It is broadcasted


to MS via system message by BTS.
Network controls the MS transmit power during
communication with BTS. The network controls
MS power using power command. MS outputs
transmit power closest to the specified power
value if unavailable. The power before MS receives
the network power control information (the
power used in random access), depends on this
parameter when MS is receiving PBCCH.
This parameter is also a parameter for cell selection
and reselection by MS, involved in calculation of
C1 and C2 values. If this parameter is too large,
the MS close to BTS will interfere with the adjacent
channel; If it is too small, the MS access success
rate at the edge of cell will be very low.
To set it, observe the following principle: Under the
precondition that the MS at the cell boundary is
guaranteed with certain access success rate, the MS
access level should be reduced as much as possible.
Generally, it is recommended to set this parameter
as 5 (for GSM900MS) and 2 (for GSM1800MS).
In actual application, after the parameter is set,
make a dial test at the cell boundary, and test MS
access success rate and access time with different
parameter settings to determine whether to increase
or decrease the value of the parameter.
The value is same as that in the appendix.

the MS in the PSI1 message. Whenever establishing
a new connection, MS sends a channel request
message to the network through PRACH channel.
As PRACH is an ALOHA channel, to improve the
success rate of MS access, the network allows MS
to send multiple channel request messages before
it receives the packet assignment message. If MS
does not get any response for the previous channel
request message, it can resend a channel request
message after waiting for a random period. Interval
range of packet access attempt is used to determine
the time length of random waiting. It is the number
of delay timeslot randomly connected.

before receiving the packet assignment message.
When the previous channel request message
is not responded, MS will wait for a random
period to re-send the channel request message.
Parameter S decides the random waiting time.
It is used to calculate the minimum timeslot

It indicates MS access control level to access cell.


Common MS has the class 0 ~ 9 and special MS
has the class 11 ~ 15. Class 10 does not exist.
System can prohibit MS with some access class
to enter the cell according to this parameter.
System allows access of a mobile with access
class, N = 0, 1 9, 11 15. It allows emergency
calls when the eleventh digit = EC. To faciliate
programming, C10 is constantly 0.
If the Nth bit of the access control level is 0 (0
indicates access allowed, 1 indicates access not
allowed), then it is allowed to access a MS with
AccCtrlClass =N (N=0, 1, 9, 11, 15). Bit 11=
EC represents that Emergency Call is available.
This parameter consists of two bytes (16 bits).
The first byte: C15, C14, C13, C12, C11, C10, C9, C8
The second byte: C7, C6, C5, C4, C3, C2, C1, C0

MAIO
Full name MAIO

Abbreviation MAIO

3GPP Name Mobile Allocation Index Offset

3GPP reference 3GPP TS 44.018 V5.22.0

During communication, the carrier number adopted


on air interface is an element of the MA set. Mobile
Allocation Index (MAI) (0 MAI n-1) is a variable
for determining a definite element in the MA set.
According to the FH algorithm in GSM 05.02
specification, MAI is function of the following
aspects: TDMA Frame Number (FN) or Reduced
TDMA Frame Number (RFN), frequency Hopping
Serial Number (HSN), and Mobile Allocation Index
Offset (MAIO). MAIO is an initial offset of MAI and
is used for preventing several channels to contend
for the same carrier at the same moment.
Generally, several basic FH units (timeslot or
TDMA frame) constitute an FH group. They have
the same MA and HSN and the only difference
among them is MAIO. Thus the same MA and HSN
are put in FHS/MA table. When the FH group
corresponding to the timeslot has no frequency
Description hopping, MAIO of the timeslot is invalid.

Speech data is unavailable for silent period during

during such silent periods.
In the DTX mode, the measurement data reported
to BSC fall into two types. One is the average
of the measurement results of all timeslots in a
measurement period in the non-DTX mode, and
the other is the average of the measurement
results of some special timeslots in a measurement
period in the DTX mode. BSC needs to optionally
select one type of measurement data and use
the data to calculate the average value.
The first type of measurement data is more accurate
since it is the average value of measurement results
of all timeslots. The second type of measurement
data is less accurate since it is the average value of
measurement results of some timeslots. Thus BSC
should use different weights for the two types of
data when averaging the measurement results.

According to GSM specifications, MS can report to


BSS the measurement data of at most six adjacent
cells with strongest signal strength. Thus the
measurement results might not be consecutive. For
cells whose signal strength is less than -110 dBm,
the measurement data are not reported.
To avoid the negative impact of 0 on averaging,
suppose occasional 0 is allowed and is not used in
averaging, but excessive occurrences of 0 indicate
that the signals of this adjacent cell are too poor.
If the number of zeroes in used for average
Description calculation exceeds Number of zero allowed in

reported values divided by Neighboring cell .
To be specific, during averaging, if the count of
0s in the sampling count exceeds ZeroAllowed,
these sampling values are hardly reliable, and
the measurement average will be the sum of
the reported values divided by NCellWindow. If
the count of 0s in the reported values does not
exceed ZeroAllowed, these sampling values
are much reliable and the measurement average
will be the sum of the reported values divided

Description: According to GSM Specifications,


discontinuous transmission (DTX) refers to the
process in which the system does not transmit
signals in the voice intermittent period during
the subscriber communication process.
In the DTX mode, the measurement data reported
to BSC fall into two types. One is the average
of the measurement results of all timeslots in a
measurement period in the non-DTX mode, and
the other is the average of the measurement
results of some special timeslots in a measurement
period in the DTX mode. BSC needs to optionally
select one type of measurement data and use
the data to calculate the average value.
The first type of measurement data is more accurate
since it is the average value of measurement results
of all timeslots. The second type of measurement
data is less accurate since it is the average value of
measurement results of some timeslots. Thus BSC
should use different weights for the two types of
data when averaging the measurement results.
This parameter determines the weight for the first
type of measurement data when averaging uplink
signal strength for handover. Weight for the second
Description type of measurement data is set to 1 by default.

shall be used. If the measured signal intensity
of a call is less than rapid handover threshold,
then it triggers handover of existing cell to
most probable candidate cell.
RapidHoN counter defines the minimum times
for which the measured signal intensity of a
call is less than the threshold.
"RapidHoThs" may be set as 15 (that is, -96dBm ~
-95dBm) by default, the same as the level threshold
of ordinary handover. Parameter "RapidHoN" should
be set to ensure that rapid handover is faster
Description than the ordinary signal level handover.

The decision process is as follows: For the latest
N average values of TA (distance), if P of the N
values rises above relevant threshold value, then
perform handover. The handover is due to MS
being out of the cell service range.
Parameter "DistanceN" defines the relevant

MIN interval between inter-cell handover


(HoMinInterval, s)
Full name MIN interval between inter-cell handover

Abbreviation HoMinInterval

3GPP Name None

3GPP reference None

This parameter specifies the interval value for which


MS waits before the actual inter-cell handover
occurs. Such a timer is more predominant for
MS at the boundary regions between two cells,
where inter-cell handovers occur frequently.
This parameter helps restrict frequent inter-cell
handover and guarantees call quality.
Inter-cell handover takes place when the timer
exceeds the defined interval value from the
last inter-cell handover of MS. This parameter
affects only the inter-cell handover, but not
common intra-cell or inter-cell concentric handover.
In addition, micro-cell has its own handover
policy, so this parameter is only effective for
macro-cell layer and its above layer.
For macro-cell, the default value can be 5; for
Description micro-cell, the default value can only be 0.

This parameter decides the priority to select and


sequence the candidate cells for handover. Received
signal level and signal quality decides the candidate
cells for handover. Three options are available:
First hand over to adjacent cells at the upper
layer of the local cell, then to those at the same
layer, and finally to other adjacent cells;
First hand over to adjacent cells at the same
layer of the local cell, then to those at the upper
layer, and finally to other adjacent cells;
All adjacent cells are treated in the same way.
This parameter determines to select one of
above three methods. During handover control
process, this parameter has higher priority
than normal adjacent cells.
Value range:
1 (UPPER_LAYER): adjacent cell at above layer
first, same layer next,other adjacent cells finally;
2 (SAME_LAYER): adjacent cell at same
layer first, above layer next, other
adjacent cells finally;
3 (SAME_LAYER): All adjacent cells are

Full name C/I Limited Handover Support

Abbrevia-
tion HoControl_24

3GPP Name None

3GPP
reference None

This parameter indicates whether the function of


handover for C/I limited adjacent cell is supported.
Suppose A is the service cell, B and C are adjacent cells
of A, and B is the C/I limited adjacent cell of C. If B and
C all satisfy the handover condition and the C/I limited
Description adjacent cell's handover threshold is also satisfied, then
the adjacent cell C should be filtered during the adjacent
cell handover, in other words, C can not be taken as an
adjacent cell for handover.
This parameter is supported from version 6.20.21.

ZXG10 iBSC Radio Parameter Reference

Directed handover is performed only for one


designated cell and it is restricted by a tolerable
level difference MaxLevDiff. This level difference
is lower than PBGT handover threshold in reverse
direction, thus to avoid oscillating handover.
Directed handover should not cause congestion
in the destination cell. Therefore, HoForceResThs
is set. Perform forced handover only when the
destination cell's resource is less than the threshold.
Select users with small path loss and small TA for
forced handover. Users perform handover when
their path loss are less than MaxLossThs and TA is
less than MaxTAThs. This algorithm applies to cases
such as dual-frequency networking, 900M cell and
1800M cell share the same site address.
When MAX time advance threshold on force
handover (MaxTAThs) is 63, the forced handover
decision is made only according to the path
loss. When MAX path loss threshold on force
handover (MaxLossThs) is 150, the forced handover
decision is made only according to TA.
The N value of force handover parameter and
P value of force handover parameter are used
for decision in actual situations. In other words,
handover conditions are met if HoForceP of HoForceN
measurement reports satisfy requirement.
The path loss L = BS_TXPWR - AV_RXLEV_DL
BS_TXPWR is transmission power of the carrier

Number that measurement value allowed to be


zero (ZeroAllowed3G)
Full name Number that measurement value allowed to be zero

Abbreviation ZeroAllowed3G

3GPP Name None

3GPP reference None

According to GSM specifications, MS can report to


BSS the measurement data of at most six adjacent
cells with strongest signal strength. Thus the
measurement results might not be consecutive. For
cells whose signal strength is less than -110 dBm,
the measurement data are not reported.
This parameter gives flexibility in measurement
data averaging. However, excessive occurrences
of zero indicate that the adjacent cells are of poor
signal strength. If the number of zeroes in used for
average calculation exceeds Number of zero allowed
in AV, then measurement average equals to sum of
reported values divided by Neighboring cell .
To be specific, during averaging, if the count of
0s in the sampling count exceeds ZeroAllowed,
these sampling values are hardly reliable, and
the measurement average will be the sum of
the reported values divided by NCellWindow. If
the count of 0s in the reported values does not
exceed ZeroAllowed, these sampling values
are much reliable and the measurement average
will be the sum of the reported values divided
Description by (NCellWindow the count of 0s).

value (ScaleOrdPS)
Full name PS offset which is added when UE reports rxlev value

Abbreviation ScaleOrdPS

3GPP Name None

3GPP reference None

This parameter defines the added offset when UE


reports signal field intensity. If the field intensity of
a GSM adjacent cell is n dBm, then when mapping
to RXLEV (0 ~ 63), UE will map n+ScaleOrdPS to
the original value corresponding to n. It applies
only in the case when the PACKET ENHANCED
MEASUREMENT REPORT message is used.
If the field intensity of adjacent cell exceeds -48
dBm, the real value can be reported by setting this
parameter. If the field intensity of adjacent cell
exceeds -48 dBm, the real value can be reported by
setting this parameter. If SCALE_ORD = 2, UE uses

3GPP Name MULTIBAND_REPORTING

3GPP reference 3GPP TS 45.008 V5.22.0

MS in single-frequency GSM system needs


only to report contents of six adjacent cells
with the strongest signals in a frequency
band, when reporting the survey result of
adjacent cells to the network.
In multi-band networking, MS can enter with priority
into a specific frequency band during handover.
The MS reports the survey result according to the
signal intensity and the frequency band of the
signals, according to the actual situation.
MulBndRprtPS is used to notify MS to report contents
of adjacent cells in multiple frequency bands. It
is one of the system control parameters.
The setting of this parameter is subject to traffic
in each frequency band. General principles to set
the parameters are as follows: 0: If the traffic of
each frequency band is almost equivalent, and the
operator has no choice over the frequency band.
3: If the traffic of each frequency band is quite
different, and the operator hopes that MS enters

Full name Max power level of MS

Abbreviation MsTxPwrMax

3GPP Name MS_TXPWR_MAX

3GPP reference 3GPP TS 45.008 V5.22.0

During the communication between MS and


BTS, the transmission power is controlled by the
network. The network sets the power for MS
through the power command and the command
is transmitted on SACCH (SACCH has 2 header
bytes, one is the power control byte and the
other is the timing advance byte).
MS sets the specified output transmission power
according to the power control header extracted
from the SACCH. MS uses the nearest possible
output power even if the power command sends
maximum output power. When BSC controls the
power, the parameter is the maximum transmission
power that can be used by MS in the cell. MS
max power level is also a parameter used by
BSC to calculate PBGT value.
Description The value is same as that in the appendix.

Min power level for handover access (RxLevMin)


Full name Min power level for handover access

3GPP Name RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN

712 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION


Chapter 5 Cell Object Parameters

3GPP reference 3GPP TS 45.008 V5.22.0

This parameter defines the minimum receiving


intensity level (on BCCH) required for MS to
handover to this cell. It is one of parameters to
decide preferred cells during handover control. MS
in the serving cell constantly monitors the signal
intensity on BCCH of adjacent cells. Adjacent
cells with the minimum receiving intensity level
higher than this parameter are potential candidates
for handover. MS with receiving level larger
than minimum receiving level indicates that MS
is at the edge of the serving cell.
Recommended value is usually approximated
according to MS receiving sensitivity. When network
observes uneven traffic distribution in certain cells,
MIN access level increases the resulting C1 and
C2 to decrease the cell effective coverage range.
However, the value of this parameter cannot be too
large. Otherwise, large value change can bring void
area across cell boundaries to result in sudden call
drop problem. With this measure for traffic balance,
it is suggested that the level value shall not exceed
-90dB. At the preliminary running stage of the
network, this parameter can be usually set as 10
(that is, -101 dBm ~ -100 dBm) or lower, which is
higher than the MS receiving sensitivity 102 dBm.
However, when the network capacity is expanded or
the radio coverage in a cell is not a problem, this
Description parameter of the cell can be increased by 2 (dB).

According to GSM specifications, handover decisions


depend upon received average value of uplink
and downlink signal strength. The PBGT value
of an adjacent cell is also one of the causes for
handover. The decision process is as follows: If
the PBGT value of an adjacent cell is greater than
the relevant threshold of this cell, handover shall
be performed to find a more suitable cell.

3GPP Name None

This parameter provides the handover policies in


multi-layer network technology and dual-frequency
network technology. Multi-layer radio coverage
can be formed in the same physical area.
The handover policies will not be detailed in this
manual. In brief, limiting the PBGT handover
defined in the specifications at one layer can reduce
the number of handovers during the call, thus
improving the system reliability and communication
quality. The policy of handover between a macro
cell layer and a micro cell layer mainly depends on
the moving speed of MS. An MS at higher moving
speed will try to stay at the macro cell layer (upper
layer of the micro cell layer), and an MS at lower
moving speed will try to enter the micro cell layer
(lower layer of the macro cell layer). Only in case
of PBGT handover and handover towards undefined
layer being allowed will the undefined cell of the
service area be considered as a candidate cell.
"Same layer of the home cell": Adjacent cell and
local cell are in the same layer (PBGT handover
is possible). "Upper layer of the home cell":
Adjacent cell is the upper layer of local cell (when
the local cell is a micro cell). "Lower layer of the
home cell": Adjacent cell is the lower layer of
local cell (when the local cell is a macro cell).

Full name Max power level of MS

Abbreviation MsTxPwrMax

3GPP Name MS_TXPWR_MAX

3GPP reference 3GPP TS 45.008 V5.22.0

During the communication between MS and


BTS, the transmission power is controlled by the
network. The network sets the power for MS
through the power command and the command
is transmitted on SACCH (SACCH has 2 header
bytes, one is the power control byte and the
other is the timing advance byte).
MS sets the specified output transmission power
according to the power control header extracted
from the SACCH. MS uses the nearest possible
output power even if the power command sends
maximum output power. When BSC controls the
power, the parameter is the maximum transmission
power that can be used by MS in the cell. MS
max power level is also a parameter used by
BSC to calculate PBGT value.

Min power level for handover access (RxLevMin)

732 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION


Chapter 5 Cell Object Parameters

3GPP reference 3GPP TS 45.008 V5.22.0

This parameter defines the minimum receiving


intensity level (on BCCH) required for MS to
handover to this cell. It is one of parameters to
decide preferred cells during handover control. MS
in the serving cell constantly monitors the signal
intensity on BCCH of adjacent cells. Adjacent
cells with the minimum receiving intensity level
higher than this parameter are potential candidates
for handover. MS with receiving level larger
than minimum receiving level indicates that MS
is at the edge of the serving cell.
Recommended value is usually approximated
according to MS receiving sensitivity. When network
observes uneven traffic distribution in certain cells,
MIN access level increases the resulting C1 and
C2 to decrease the cell effective coverage range.
However, the value of this parameter cannot be too
large. Otherwise, large value change can bring void
area across cell boundaries to result in sudden call
drop problem. With this measure for traffic balance,
it is suggested that the level value shall not exceed
-90dB. At the preliminary running stage of the
network, this parameter can be usually set as 10
(that is, -101 dBm ~ -100 dBm) or lower, which is
higher than the MS receiving sensitivity 102 dBm.
However, when the network capacity is expanded or
the radio coverage in a cell is not a problem, this
Description parameter of the cell can be increased by 2 (dB).

This parameter provides the handover policies in


multilayer network technology and dual-frequency
network technology. Multilayer radio coverage can
be formed in the same physical area.
The handover policies will not be detailed in this
manual. In brief, limiting the PBGT handover
defined in the specifications at one layer can reduce
the number of handovers during the call, thus
improving the system reliability and communication
quality. The policy of handover between a macro
cell layer and a micro cell layer mainly depends on
the moving speed of MS. An MS at higher moving
speed will try to stay at the macro cell layer (upper
layer of the micro cell layer), and an MS at lower
moving speed will try to enter the micro cell layer
(lower layer of the macro cell layer). Only in case
of PBGT handover and handover towards undefined
layer being allowed will the undefined cell of the
service area be considered as a candidate cell.
"Same layer of the home cell": Adjacent cell and
local cell are in the same layer (PBGT handover
is possible). "Upper layer of the home cell":
Adjacent cell is the upper layer of local cell (when
the local cell is a micro cell). "Lower layer of the
home cell": Adjacent cell is the lower layer of
local cell (when the local cell is a macro cell).

Full name Hopping sequence No.

Abbreviation HSN

3GPP Name Hopping sequence number

3GPP reference 3GPP TS 44.018 V5.22.0

According to GSM 05.02 Frequency Hoping


Algorithm, MAI is a function of TDMA Frame
number (FN), Hoping Sequence Number (HSN)
and Mobile Allocation Index Offset (MAIO). HSN
determines the operation track of frequencies
during the frequency hopping process. Using
different HSN for cells having same MA can avoid
frequency utilization conflict between adjacent cells
during the frequency hopping process.
Different timeslots can share the same group of MA
and corresponding HSN. When HSN = 0, it is a special
frequency hopping (i.e. circular frequency hopping)
HSN can be derived from BCC of the cell, because
cells using the same MA also have the same BCCH.
For example, if HSN [(BCC6)+1, (BCC6)+6],
then each cell may use any of the 6 HSNs. The
remaining 0 and 49 ~ 63 are used in other
special cases. For simple implementation,
Description directly use 0 by default.
