plmnPermitted : This parameter is confusing. It’s not used for network selection. It’s used AFTER
a network has been selected so that only measurements from one/defined PLMN are reported
notAllowedAccessClasses : Mobile Subscribers are uniformly distributed among 10 "access classes"

coded 0 … 9. This information is stored in the SIM. To control the load of the RACH the operator can
forbid some classes to access the cell. Additional VIP classes are coded between 11 and 15.
radiusExtension : The parameter defines cell radius extension of the Improved solution for Extended
cell radius.

Cell Selection in idle mode
• Radio Criteria
C1 = (A - Max(B,0))
• A = Received Level Average - p1

• B = p2 - Maximum RF Output Power of the Mobile Station
• p1 = rxLevelAccessMin Min. received level at the MS required for access to the system
• p2 = msTxPowerMaxCCH Max. Tx power level an MS may use when accessing the system

Cell Re-Selection in idle mode
Cell access, reselection cellReselectHysteresis 0 ... 14 3 2*(DB value) 6 dB
Normally the cell re-selection is harmless in terms of signalling from the point of view of the Network.
However when the process involves a change in the Location Area the MS will recognize the need for
Location Update. To avoid ping pong effects on the border of a Location Area, an hysteresis is introduced.

• No IMSI Attach / Detach
• Same Location Area => No Location Update
• Different Location Area => Location Update
• Change of the Location Area

Idle Channel Interference
• The BTS measures and reports on the uplink interference of the radio channels which
have
been idle during the whole measurement period.
• Idle TCH’s are classified into five interference classes
• RR Management algorithm assigns a channel from the lowest possible interference class

TRX Prioritization in TCH Allocation
• Normal practice
• TCHs in the lowest Interference Band are considered
• TCH is selected from the TRX with lowest traffic load
• Rotation of resources in TCH allocation
• TRX Prioritisation in TCH Allocation

• BTS Parameter trxPriorityInTCHAlloc
• 0 No prioritization is determined between TRXs
• 1 Traffic channel shall be allocated primarily from the BCCH TRX
• 2 Traffic channel shall be allocated primarily beyond the BCCH TRX
• The advantages of using the BCCH carrier :

• It would not increase interference in the network
• BCCH channels are planned to be the least interfered one
• The advantage of using the TCH TRX :

• The hopping gain

Directed Retry (DR) - 1
• DR used to avoid the loss of a call in call-setup if the accessed cell is congested
• When no TCH is available in serving cell, TCH can be allocated in an adjacent cell (SDCCH  TCH
HO)
• Mobile Originated (MOC) and Mobile Terminated (MTC) Calls TCH
• Target cell entry based on DR Method; SDCCH
• Method 0 - RxLevAccessMin
• Method 1 - drThreshold congested
•Imperative Handover
• Candidates ranked based on radio properties.
• Steps through candidates (if congested) until MaxTimeLimitDR expires
• Queuing can take place in source cell, not in target cell.

Pre-processing in BTS
• For MS and BTS measurements

• Average measurements over 1, 2, 3 or 4 SACCH-period
• Cause a delay (btsMeasAver-1) x 480 ms
• Reduce a transmission load and a processing load in BSC
• Needed in Abis interface when 16 kbit signalling is used with half rate . !

Measurement Processing
• BSC is able to maintain up to 32 last measurement results of 32 adjacent cells
• Mobile reports to BSC 6 best results and the rest are 0 (= -110 dBm)
• Zero Results can be eliminated from averaging ( up to 7 )
• All adjacent cells can be averaged or just 6 best ( reported by the mobile )
