Parameters

5.1 Main Controlling Parameters

NUMDEV
This parameter defines the number of subsequent PGW devices and RBLT
or ETM4 devices that constitute the super channel.
PACKALG
This parameter sets the packing algorithm used in TG. For Packet Abis
over TDM, this parameter shall always be set to 1 to achieve optimal
bandwidth savings.
SC
This parameter defines the super channel number within a super channel
group.
SCGR
This parameter defines the group of super channels that terminate in the
same Transceiver Group (TG).
SDAMRREDABISTHR
This parameter defines a threshold value for starting and stopping the
allocation of AMR FR channels with reduced codec set, in case of high
transmission load on a super channel. The allocation is stopped when the
threshold value is set to 100%. The parameter is set per TG. Note that this
functionality is activated by the parameter DAMRCRABIS per cell. If the
feature Speech Quality Priority is activated then the parameter can be
set to different values for different subscriber priority levels by using the
parameter AHPRL, described in Reference [2].
SDFRMAABISTHR
This parameter defines a threshold value for starting and stopping of move
from FR to HR channels, including AMR, in case of high transmission
load on a super channel. The moving of channels is stopped when the
threshold value is set to 100%. The parameter is set per TG. Note that
this functionality is activated by the parameter ATHABIS per cell, see
Reference [2].
SDHRAABISTHR
This parameter defines a threshold value for starting and stopping the
allocation of AMR HR and HR channels, in case of high transmission load

User Description, Packet Abis over TDM

on a super channel. The allocation is stopped when the threshold value

is set to 100%. The parameter is set per TG. Note that this functionality
is activated by the parameter ATHABIS per cell, see Reference [2]. If the
feature Speech Quality Priority is activated then the parameter can be

set to different values for different subscriber priority levels by using the
parameter AHPRL, described in Reference [2].
SDHRMAABISTHR
This parameter defines a threshold value for starting and stopping of move
from HR to FR channels, including AMR, in case of low transmission load
on a super channel. The moving of channels is stopped when the threshold
value is set to 0%. The parameter is set per TG. Note that this functionality
is activated by the parameter ATHABIS per cell, see Reference [2].
TMODE
This parameter sets the TG Transmission Mode.

5.2 Parameters for Special Adjustments

JBPTA
This parameter sets the TRXs buffer usage when PAL is set to 1. It is
recommended to set the JBPTA parameter to 14 ms for Packet Abis over
TDM. If a satellite interface is used it is recommended to set the JBPTA
parameter to 60 ms.
If it is desired to minimize the JBPTA parameter, the size of the jitter buffer
can be tuned in the following manner: set the JBPTA parameter according
to the recommended value of 14. Verify that the percentage of lost PS
frames downlink (see Reference [11]) is at an acceptable level. Decrease
the current setting of the JBPTA parameter and verify that there is not
any significant increase in the percentage of frames lost on the downlink.
Repeat the process until a minimum value of JBPTA is found such that
there is no significant increase in the percentage of lost PS frames.
Note: The delay variation will also be affected by the internal system
delay variation caused by high load. If the tuning is performed
during a low load scenario it is recommended to be restrictive with
the acceptable percentage of lost frames.
PAL
Setting this parameter to 1 activates the feature Adaptive Timers for Packet
Abis (see Reference [1] for more details). Then the parameter JBPTA will
control the buffer depth. The parameter PTA will then have no function.
If this parameter is set to 0 the P-GSL timing advance will be manually
controlled by the PTA parameter. The parameter JBPTA will then have
no function.

PTA
This parameter indicates a factor for counting the timing advance for
P-GSL when TG is in SCM transmission mode and PAL is set to 0. It is
