Random Access Channel
Random Access Channel: RACH Parameters
RACHBT=RACH busy threshold, defines a threshold for the signal level on
the RACH. The general purpose of this parameter is to define a minimum level criterion a received RACH signal must fulfill to be regarded as a real RACH access.
RACHBT=109, object: BTS [BASICS] unit: -1dBm range: 0..127 default: 109
MAXRETR= Maximum number of retransmissions, this parameter
defines the maximum number of retransmission attempts the MS can perform on the RACH if the previous attempts have been unsuccessful. To request a dedicated control channel (normally an SDCCH) from the network, the MS performs a RACH access by sending a CHANNEL REQUEST message to the BSS via the RACH. In the successful case, the MS receives an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT COMMAND via the AGCH. The MS regards an access attempt unsuccessful when it has neither received an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT COMMAND or - if no SDCCH is available in the cell - an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT via the AGCH before the time defined by the parameter NSLOTST (see below) has expired. MAXRETR=FOUR, object: BTS [CCCH] range: ONE, TWO, FOUR, SEVEN default: FOUR Reference: GSM 04.08 GSM 05.08
NSLOTST=Number of slot spread transmission, determines the cycle
period for retransmission of RACH accesses (i.e. transmission of a CHANNEL REQUEST message), i.e. it determines the time an MS must wait after a RACH access attempt before a new one can be started. In the mobile the retransmission mechanism is continuously executed after the first RACH access and only stopped if an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT COMMAND or (if no SDCCH is available) an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT message is received from the BSS via the AGCH.
NSLOTST=10, object: BTS [CCCH] range: 0..15 default: 10 Reference: GSM 04.08

Measurement Parameters
The parameters are used for averaging and reporting interference levels in
idle traffic channels. INTAVEPR=1..31, Averaging period for idle TCH measurements, defines the number of SACCH multiframes (480ms = 4 multiframes, the interleaving function distributes the SACCH info over 4 bursts) over which values are averaged (value 1..31). PAVRLEV= 4-2, Power control averaging parameters level, defines the averaging parameters for the RXLEV measurements. HOAVELEV=8-2, Handover averaging parameters for level handover, this parameter defines the size of the gliding averaging window and the DTX weighting factor for the uplink and downlink RXLEV measurements for level handovers. HOAVPWRB=8, Handover averaging window for power budget handover, defines the size of the size of the averaging window for downlink RXLEV values of the serving cell
3- BSS
Access Related Parameters
The parameters are used to control access of MS to the network. MAXRETR=FOUR, Maximum number of retransmissions, this parameter
defines the maximum number of retransmission attempts the MS can perform on the RACH if the previous attempts have been unsuccessful. CELLBARR=FALSE, Cell barred, the value TRUE indicates that the cell is barred and camping or any other access to the cell is forbidden. CREALL=NOTALLOWED, Call re-establishment allowed, indicates whether the MS may try to start a Call re-establishment procedure. NBLKACGR=1, Number of blocks for access grant, specifies the number of CCCH blocks to be reserved in each configured CCCH timeslot for the Access Grant Channel (AGCH) during a period of 51 TDMA frames, i.e. one multiframe. RXLEVAMI=6, Minimum received level at the MS required for access to the network on the RACH.
4- BSS
Cell Selection/Reselection Parameters
The parameters are used to control cell Selection/Reselection
of MS to the network. CELLRESH=2, Cell reselect hysteresis, indicates the value of the receiver RF power level hysteresis required for cell reselection (MS in idle mode) on the basis of the path loss criterion C1. CRESOFF=1, This parameter is one of the necessary input values for the calculation of C2. It applies an offset to the cell reselection criterion C2. TEMPOFF=1, It applies a negative offset to C2 for the duration of the penalty time. CRESPARI=1, indicates the presence of C2 cell reselection parameters on the BCCH.
5- BSS
Frequency Hopping Parameters
HOPMODE=BBHOP,
Hopping Mode, this parameter indicates whether baseband hopping or synthesizer hopping is to be used in this cell. HOPP=TRUE, Frequency hopping enabled, indicates whether frequency hopping is manually enabled in the BTS by the operator. MAIO=0, Mobile allocation index offset. HSN=10, Hopping sequence number, determines the hopping sequence. respective algorithm. MOBALLOC=CALLF01&CALLF02&..., Mobile allocation list, this parameter defines is a list of those cell allocation frequencies used in the hopping sequence.
6- BSS
Power Control Parameters
PWRRED=6, Power reduction, specifies the number of 2-dB-steps
the Tx power should be reduced from the maximum transmit power. PWRINCSS=DB6, Power increase step size, defines the step size used when increasing the MS transmit power. PWREDSS=DB2, Power reduction step size, defines the step size used when reducing the MS transmit power. EMSPWRC= ADAPTIVE, Enable MS power control, determines whether the BTS instructs the MS to dynamically adjust its sending power according to the current radio conditions. MS Power Control is used to save MS battery capacity and to minimize the uplink interference on the radio interface. EBSPWRC=ADAPTIVE, Enable BS power control, determines whether the BTS dynamically adjusts its sending power according to the current radio conditions (on non-BCCH carriers). Enabling BS Power Control results in a minimization of the downlink interference on the radio interface.
7- BSS
Handover Parameters
HOM=69, Handover margin, this parameter defines a threshold for the
power budget handover. RXQUALHO=TRUE, RxQual handover enabled, determines whether handover due to bad receive quality on uplink or downlink is enabled. RXLEVHO=TRUE, RxLevel handover enabled, determines whether handover due to low receive level on uplink or downlink is enabled. PBGTHO=TRUE, Power budget handover enabled, determines whether handover due to power budget is enabled. DISTHO=TRUE, Distance Handover enabled, determines whether handover due to long distance between MS and BTS is enabled. NOBAKHO=TRUE, No back handover, this flag determines whether the feature Prevention of Back handovers is enabled or not. RXLEVMIN=12, Rx level minimum, determines the minimum received signal level the adjacent cell must provide to be regarded as a suitable target cell for handover. It is the minimum Rx level required for a MS to perform the handover to the adjacent cell.
8- BSS
Paging Parameters
NFRAMEPG=2, Number of multiframes between paging, defines
the number of multiframes (51 TDMA frames) between two transmissions of the same paging message to mobiles of the same .paging group. The paging group determines which CCCH blocks the MS shall monitor for incoming paging messages. By just monitoring a subset of the CCCH blocks for paging (Discontinuous Reception (DRX)) the MS can save battery capacity. IMSIATDT=TRUE, If this parameter is set to TRUE the MSs are requested by the above mentioned BCCH parameter to send an .IMSI Attach. message when they are switched on respectively an .IMSI Detach. message when they are switched off. NBLKACGR=1, Number of blocks for access grant, specifies the number of CCCH blocks to be reserved in each configured CCCH timeslot for the Access Grant Channel (AGCH) during a period of 51 TDMA frames, i.e. one multiframe.
9- BSS
Radio Link Control Parameters
RDLNKTO=4, Radio link timeout, the value entered for
this parameter determines the value of the parameter RADIO_LINK_TIMEOUT is used by the MS to calculate the maximum value of the radio link counter (.S. counter) in the MS which is needed to detect a radio link failure in the downlink.
10- BSS
DTX Parameters
DTXDLFR=FALSE,
Discontinuous transmission downlink for FR calls enabled, specifies whether .discontinuous transmission downlink (DTX downlink). is enabled for FR calls in the BTS. DTXDLHR=FALSE, Discontinuous transmission downlink for HR calls enabled, specifies whether discontinuous transmission (DTX) is enabled for HR calls in the BTS DTXUL=SHLFSHNH, Discontinuous transmission uplink enabled, specifies whether discontinuous transmission (DTX) shall be used by the MS.
11- BSS
Radio Resource Timers Many radio resource timers exist in GSM. Generally speaking, their main purpose is to ensure de-allocation of radio resources after the failure of some resource allocation process, And thus ensure maximum utilization and minimum wastage of resources.
Radio Resource Timers-1

1) T3111 =HLFSEC-1, This timer is used during the normal layer 2 channel release procedure. Its purpose is to maintain the dedicated channel in an active state long enough for the MS to repeat the L2 DISC message if required. T3111 commences when the first DISC is received by the BSS, and up to 5 repetitions of the DISC are allowed, at intervals of T200 (235ms on SDCCH, 166ms on FACCH). This means that the maximum time that the dedicated channel needs to be held is 1175ms (5 x 235ms). A higher setting of rr_t3111 will hold SDCCH or TCH resources longer than necessary, possibly introducing SDCCH or TCH congestion. A lower setting could result in two mobile stations being active on the same channel. To avoid the possibility of 2 mobile stations active on the same channel and to safely minimize channel usage, it is recommended that T3111 be set to 1200ms across all cells (Aircom recommendation).
object: BTS [TIMER] units: MS100 = 100 ms HLFSEC = 0,5 sec SEC5 = 5s range: 0..255 default: HLFSEC-1 T3111 purpose: security period for acknowledgement of the main signaling link disconnection start: receipt of the RELEASE INDICATION message expiry action: sending of the RF CHANNEL RELEASE message

2) T3212=10, timer for periodic location update,

A recovery in the VLR normally leads to the loss of the subscriber data. Periodic location update is used to ensure the continuous update of subscriber data in the VLR even if the subscriber remains in the same location area. This timer is reset to 0 and started when a signaling activity has taken place on the radio path (e.g. Location update, MOC, IMSI Attach). When the MS is powered down the current value of T3212 is kept in memory. When the MS is powered up the timer starts running from the value thus contained in memory. On expiry the MS initiates a location updating. This parameter is sent on the BCCH (SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 3) in the IE .Control Channel Description. If the IMSI detach feature is enabled this timer should be set to a value less than the MSC/VLR implicit detach timer. If the setting is vice versa, the MS may be set to .detached. in the VLR even before it executes a Periodic Location Update. The effect of this timer change will be to improve the mobile terminated call set up success rate measured by the MSC and perceived by anybody trying to call a mobile station from either the fixed network or another mobile station.
object: BTS [OPTIONS] unit: 1 decihour (6 min) range: 0..255 0 means .infinite timeout., i.e. periodic loc. Updating is used in the cell.. default: 10 = 60 min.

3) RDLNKTBS (Radio link counter BS )=20,(Aircom Recommendation: 16 SACCH, ) Radio_link_timeout governs the number of missing downlink SACCH messages which should occur before a radio-link-loss is determined by the mobile. It is recommended to set this timeout to 7.7 seconds (16 SACCH) for all cells, in line with the link_fail recommendation above. It is a very small percentage of calls which would recover from a losing SACCH for longer than 7.7 seconds and the user is likely to have released the call anyway due to loss of audio.
This will help to maximize the use of TCH resources by returning them to the radio resource pool as soon as possible, but without losing calls which might otherwise recover..
If .Call Re-Establishment. (see parameter CREALL) is enabled a low value of radio link timeout increases the number of call reestablishments because a decrease of RDLNKTO may lead to an earlier declaration of radio link failures
object: PWRC range: 4-64 step size: 4 (range 4, 8, 12, ... 60, 64) default: 20

4) RDLNKTO (Radio link timeout=4), (Aircom Recommendation:16 SACCH, ) The link fail timer governs the number of missing uplink SACCH messages that should occur before a radio-link-loss is determined by the BSS. As the loss of uplink SACCH indicates that uplink audio is also lost, it is likely that the subscriber will have terminated the call after 16 SACCH multiframes have passed. This represents a time period of 7.7 seconds.
The benefit of minimizing this timer value is that the holding time of the channel following any radio link loss is minimized, while still allowing sufficient time for the link to recover before the subscriber gives up and terminates the call.
object: BTS [BASICS] range: 0..15 0 = counter value 4 15 = counter value 64 default: 4

5) T3109 =HLFSEC-8 (TCH Reallocation Timer), This timer prevents the reallocation of a channel, following the detection of an uplink radio link loss. The MS may still be transmitting on the channel until radio_link_timeout expires. T3109 should therefore be set to a value greater than radio_link_timeout. Based on a radio_link_timeout of 16 SACCH as recommended above, then it is recommended that T3109 should be reduced to 8000ms for all cells. This will ensure that channels will be released as soon as is safely possible following a radio link loss, increasing channel availability, avoiding any unnecessary SDCCH or TCH congestion.
object: BTS [TIMER] units: MS100 = 100 ms HLFSEC = 0,5 sec SEC5 = 5s range: 0..255 default: HLFSEC-8
T3109 purpose: timer for forced deactivation of radio channels in case of communication loss towards the MS start: sending of the CHANNEL RELEASE message expiry action: sending of the RF CHANNEL RELEASE message

6) BSCT10=HLFSEC-10, (Assignment Guard Timer))=> 14000 (Aircom)), This timer runs at the BTS during the assignment procedure, guarding the non-receipt of the assignment complete or assignment failure message from the MS. On expiry of this timer, the radio channels will be released and a Clear Request message sent to the MSC . This timer must be sufficiently long to maximize the probability of a successful assignment. In worst case conditions the MS will take about 13s to fail an assignment and recover to the source channel. Therefore the timer setting 14000 ms is recommended.
T10 purpose: a) Assignment procedure: release of the associated resources if the MS is lost during the assignment procedure. b) Intra-cell handover: keep the old channels available for a sufficient time in order to allow the MS to return to the old channel return to it if the handover is not successful and to release the old channel if the MS is lost during the handover procedure. start: a) & b): sending of an ASSIGNMENT COMMAND by the BSC stop: a) & b): receipt of an ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE or an ASSIGNMENT FAILURE from the MS expiry action: a) Assignment procedure: Sending of an ASSIGNMENT FAILURE to the MSC with cause radio interface message failure followed by release of the call resources. b) Intra-cell handover: Sending of a CLEAR REQUEST to the MSC with cause radio interface message failure followed by release of the call resources (CLEAR CMD received from MSC).
object: BSC [TIMER] unit: HLFSEC=0,5s SEC5=5s range: 0..254 default: HLFSEC-10

7) BSCT8=HLFSEC-10, (Handover Guard Timer)=> 14000 (Aircom)), This timer runs at the source BTS during an intra-BSC or inter-BSC handover.
This timer determines the time to receive the HANDOVER COMPLETE message.
T8 is defined as the time that BSC layer 3 will wait for a handover to complete before releasing the source channel. The value must be bigger than the sum of the time for all messages to be sent to the MS plus the time to access a target and come back (if necessary).
Rule: BSCT8 < TTRAU (for TTRAU see command SET BTS [TIMER])
This setting is necessary to ensure that a signaling failure (T8 and T10) is detected before transcoder failure (TTRAU)
T8 purpose: keep the old channels available for a sufficient time in order to allow the MS to return to the old channel return to it if the handover is not successful and to release the old channel if the MS is lost. start: transmission of a HANDOVER COMMAND from the BSC to the MS stop: a) intra-BSC handover: receipt of a HANDOVER COMPLETE or a HANDOVER FAILURE from the MS b) inter-BSC handover: receipt of a CLEAR COMMAND from the MSC or HANDOVER FAILURE from the MS expiry action: Sending of a CLEAR REQUEST to the MSC with cause radio interface message failure followed by release of the call resources (CLEAR CMD received from MSC).
object: BSC [TIMER] unit: HLFSEC=0,5s SEC5=5s range: 0..254 default: HLFSEC-10

T3101=HLFSEC-6, This timer is started, when a channel
is allocated with an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message and stopped when the MS has correctly seized the channels (ESTABLISH INDICATION is received for the assigned channel). If the dedicated channel is not established before T3101 expires, the allocated channel is released.

T3105=MS10-10, The Timer T3105 is used for the
repetition of PHYSICAL INFORMATION message during the handover procedure between non synchronized cells. After receipt of HANDOVER ACCESS bursts with a correct handover reference the BSS sends a PHYSICAL INFORMATION message to the MS and starts timer T3105.
