• Threshold for inter-RAT cell
reselection. When the quality (CPICH
SSEARCHRAT Distribution Ec/No measured by UE) of the
0 2 3
serving cell is lower than this
threshold plus the [Qqualmin] of the
1000
cell, the inter-RAT cell reselection
900
procedure will be started. If the cell
800
reselection threshold is set to a
700 comparatively high value, the UE
Count of Cell

600 may frequently start cell

500 reselections, and the battery of the
400 UE may be largely consumed. If the
300 cell reselection threshold is set to a
200 comparatively low value, it is difficult
100 for cell reselections to be started,
0 and the UE may not timely reside in
RNBJM02 RNBLP01 RNKDR01 RNMKS02 RNMND01 RNPLK01 RNPTK01 RNSDR01 the cells with good quality, affecting

QQUALMIN Distribution • The minimum required quality

1000
Ec/No. The UE can camp on the cell
only when the measured CPICH
900
Ec/No is greater than the value of
800
this parameter. The higher the
700
parameter value is, the more difficult
Count of Cell

600
it is for the UE to reside in the cell.
500 The lower parameter value is, the
400 easier it is for the UE to reside in the
300 cell, but it is possible that the UE
200 cannot receive the system messages
100 that are sent through the PCCPCH

RSCP. The UE can camp on the cell
1000
only when the measured CPICH RSCP
900
is greater than the value of this
800 parameter. The higher the parameter
700 is, the more difficult it is for the UE to
Count of Cell

600 reside in the cell. The lower

500 parameter is, the easier it is for the
400 UE to reside in the cell, but it is
300 possible that the UE cannot receive

PCPICH Power Distribution • TX power of the PCPICH in a cell.

This parameter should be set based
RNBJM02 RNBLP01 RNKDR01 RNMKS02 RNMND01 RNPLK01 RNPTK01 RNSDR01 on the actual system environment
900 such as cell coverage (radius) and
800 geographical environment. If the
700 maximum transmit power of the
600 PCPICH is configured too large, the
Count of Cell

500
cell capacity will be decreased
400
because a lot of system resources
will be occupied and the interference
300
with the downlink traffic channels
200
will be increased
100
•It is recommended to set back
0 PCIPICH back to 330 for cells having
255 270 280 300 310 313 315 330 340 345 346 360
PCPICH greater than 330 to avoid
