System Information Reception
By reading system information, MS can access the network, perform cell selection and reselection, fully utilize various services provided by the network, and achieve favorable cooperation with the network. System information (SYS INFO) contains network parameters sent to MS through Um interface

network identity parameters cell selection parameters system control parameters network function parameters
System information can be sent through two kinds of logical channels

System information on BCCH System information on SACCH
Page4
SYS INFO 1
SYS INFO 1
It contains random access control information (RACH) and cell frequency allocation table (i.e. CA table). It is transmitted on BCCH.

SYS INFO 2
SYS INFO 2
It contains access control information (RACH), network color code permitted
(NCC Permitted), and neighbor cell frequency allocation list (BA1 list). It is
transmitted on BCCH. Generally speaking, SYS INFO 2, 2BIS, 2TER contains different parts of the neighbor cells BCCH frequencies. Via reading and decoding BA1 list, MS can perform cell reselection in idle mode. For a MS of GSM900 PHASE I, it only reads the neighbor cell BCCH frequencies defined in
SYS INFO 2, and ignores those carried by 2BIS and 2TER.

PLMN Selection Parameter

CGI=MCC+MNC+LAC+CI Once MS receives SYS INFO, it decodes the CGI information, and decides whether it can stay in the cell according to the MCC and MNC indicated by CGI.
At the same time, it judges whether the current location area is
changed, so as to decide whether to execute location update.

During the location update process, MS will report the new LAI to the network, so that the network can know the LA in which MS is currently located.
Page20
Cell Selection Parameter

C1 indicates the path loss criterion of cell selection. C1 of the serving cell must be greater than 0. It is calculated as follows: C1 = RXLEV - RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN - MAX((MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH - P), 0) In the case of a DCS1800 class 3 MS, C1 is calculated as follows: C1 = RXLEV - RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN - MAX((MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH +
POWER_OFFSET - P), 0)
RXLEV indicates the average receive level of the MS RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN indicates the minimum receive level required for the MS to access the network. MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH indicates the maximum transmit power allowed for the MS to access the network. POWER_OFFSET indicates PWRDIV of the MS. P indicates the maximum output power of the MS.

T200

Parameter ID: T200 Value Range: 60~2400 (step: 10) Unit: ms Default Value: 12 Description: T200 timer (LAPD protocol) is used to avoid deadlock during data transfer on the data link layer. The value of the timer indicates the time when the LAPD link waits for the response or acknowledgement frame after sending the command frame.
On the LAPDm layer, every time a message is sent, the opposite end is requested to acknowledge the reception. If this message is lost for unknown reasons, it will occur that both ends keep waiting, leading to system deadlock. Therefore, a timer should be started when the sender sends a message. If the timer times out, the sender will regard that the receiver has not received the message and will resend the message.
MML: SET BTSRINGATTR

N200

Parameter ID: N200 Value Range: 1~3 Unit: none Default Value: 3 Description: the value of this parameter specifies the maximum number of times when a frame is retransmitted (LAPD protocol)
Different timer values should be set for different LAPDm channels such as SDCCH, FACCH and SACCH. This is because these channels have different transmission rate.
MML: SET BTSRINGATTR

Use LAPDm N200

Parameter ID: N200PARASWITCH Range: On, Off Default Value : Off Description: Whether the BSC sends the LAPDm N200 parameter to the BTS. If this parameter is set to YES, the BSC sends the LAPDm N200 parameter. If this parameter is set to NO, the BSC does not send the LAPDm N200 parameter.
MML: SET GCELLCCTMR

Call Re-establishment Forbidden

Parameter ID: CALLRESTABDIS Value Range: Yes, No Default Value: Yes Description: Informing MS whether call reestablishment is allowed or not.
Page94
Network Identity Parameter BSIC

BSIC=NCC+BCC In GSM system, each BTS is allocated with a color code, which is called BSIC. MS can identify two cells with the same BCCH by the help of BSIC.
In network planning, make sure that BCCH of neighbor cells are
different from the serving cells BCCH to reduce the interference.
Practically it is still possible that a same BCCH is re-used in the surrounding cells. For cells using the same BCCH in a relevant near
distance, their BSIC must be different so that MS can identify two

neighbor cells with same BCCH.
NCC Permitted
Parameter ID: NCCPERMIT Value Range: Selection of 0~7 Perm. Default Value: 11111111 Description: Network Color Code. It lists NCC that need be measured by MS. If a neighbor cells NCC is permitted, MS will report MRs of it to the network.

MBR (Multi-Band Report)

Parameter ID: MBR Value Range: 0~3 Default Value: 0 Description: Multi-Band Report is used for requesting the MS to report the measurement information of neighboring cells in multiple frequency bands. This parameter is carried in the system information 2ter and 5ter.

Max Resend Times of Phy. Info.
Parameter ID: MAXRESEND

Range Value :1~255 Unit: Times Default Value :30 Description: Maximum times for a Physical Information message to be
transmitted. When the retransmission times exceeds this parameter and the BTS still cannot receive any correct SAMB frame from the MS,
the BTS sends a connection failure message (including the handover

failure information) to the BSC, which releases the assigned channel and stops timer T3105 after receiving this message.
MML: SET GCELLHOAD

T3105

Parameter ID: T3105 Range Value : 0~255
Unit: 10ms
Default Value : 7 Description: When BTS sends physical information to the MS, the BTS starts the timer T3105. If the timer T3105 times out before receive the SABM frame from MS, BTS re-sends physical information to MS and restarts the timer T3105.

PWRC

Parameter ID: CANPC Value range: Yes, No. Default Value: Yes Description: It is used to indicate MS whether to delete received level value obtained from the timeslots of BCCH when MS measures receiving level during base band hopping mode.
When it is set to No, it means the influence of receiving level on BCCH is in consideration.
If it is set to Yes, process it in the way mentioned above.
MML: SET GCELLCCCH

Cell Extension Type

Parameter ID: EXTTP Value Range: Normal cell, DoubleTS Ext cell Default Value: Normal cell, but the configuration is according to the practical situation.
Description: It indicates whether a cell is an extended cell and the extended cell mode.
MML: ADD GCELL MML: MOD GCELL

Max TA (Maximum Time Advance)

Parameter ID: MAXTA Value Range:
Default Value
0~63 (Normal cell) 0~255 (Double TS Ext cell)
62 for normal cell
219 for dual TS extended cell
Unit: Bit period (1 bit = 0.55km) Description: this parameter determines the actual coverage area of BTS. When BTS receives the channel request message, it determines whether channel assignment should take place in the current cell by comparing the TA with the value of this parameter. MML: SET GCELLBASICPARA

Interference Band Threshold 0~5
Parameter ID: INTERFTHRES 0~5
Value Range: 110~85

Unit: -dBm Default Values

110 ( Interference band threshold 0) 105 ( Interference band threshold 1) 98 ( Interference band threshold 2 ) 92 ( Interference band threshold 3 ) 87 ( Interference band threshold 4 ) 85 ( Interference band threshold 5)
Description: It decides the corresponding value for each interference band (from band 1 to band 5) and used to measure the uplink interference during the SDCCH/TCH(F)/TCH(H) timeslot is in idle mode.
MML: SET GCELLOTHEXT

Interference Calculation Period
Parameter ID: INTERPERIOD

Value range: 1~31 Unit: SACCH period (480 ms) Default Values: 20 Description: Before the BTS transmits the radio resource indication message to the BSC, the interference levels measured on idle channels in the period defined by this parameter are averaged. The average interference level is used to classify the interference levels on idle channels into five interference bands. A too big value of this parameter cannot reflect the change of interference. A too small value of this parameter wastes the resources.
MML: SET GCELLOTHEXT

UL DTX

Parameter ID: FRULDTX (full rate), HRULDTX (half rate) Value Range: May use, Shall use, Shall not use Default Value: Shall use Description: It is used to indicate whether MS uses DTX function. It shows the DTX state of the MS in the previous measurement period.
Page107
DL DTX

Parameter ID: FRDLDTX (full rate), HRDLDTX (half rate) Value range: Yes, No Default Value: Yes Description: This parameter indicates whether downlink DTX is used in a cell. The use of downlink DTX is also controlled by the DTX switch in the MSC. If downlink DTX is forbidden in the MSC, downlink DTX is not used regardless of the setting of this parameter. If downlink DTX is allowed in the MSC, the setting of this parameter can determine whether downlink DTX is used in the cell.
