In this way, the network processing time and resources are saved.GUI Value Range: NO(No), YES(Yes)Actual Value Range: NO, YESUnit: NoneDefault Value: NoneRecommended Value: YES
TX-integer
Meaning: Tx-integer (T for short). This parameter specifies the number of timeslots between two transmissions when an MS sends multiple consecutive channel requests.The access algorithm is defined in GSM Rec. 04.08 to reduce the collisions on the RACH and improve the efficiency of the RACH. The algorithm specifies three parameters: Tx-integer (T for short), maximum number of retransmissions (RET), and S related to channel combination.This parameter works with the configuration of the CCCH to determine the parameter S. The relations between this parameter and the configuration of the CCCH are as follows:When this parameter is set to 3, 8, 14, or 50, S is 55 if the CCCH and SDCCH do not share a physical channel.When this parameter is set to 3, 8, 14, or 50, S is 41 if the CCCH and SDCCH share a physical channel.When this parameter is set to 4, 9, or 6, S is 76 if the CCCH and SDCCH do not share a physical channel.When this parameter is set to 4, 9, or 6, S is 52 if the CCCH and SDCCH share a physical channel.When this parameter is set to 5, 10, or 20, S is 109 if the CCCH and SDCCH do not share a physical channel.When this parameter is set to 5, 10, or 20, S is 58 if the CCCH and SDCCH share a physical channel.When this parameter is set to 6, 11, or 25, S is 163 if the CCCH and SDCCH do not share a physical channel.When this parameter is set to 6, 11, or 25, S is 86 if the CCCH and SDCCH share a physical channel.When this parameter is set to 7, 12, or 32, S is 217 if the CCCH and SDCCH do not share a physical channel.When this parameter is set to 7, 12, or 32, S is 115 if the CCCH and SDCCH share a physical channel.The timeslot for sending messages is a random value from the collection of {0, 1..., MAX(T, 8)-1}.The number of timeslots (excluding the timeslot used to send messages) between two adjacent channel request messages is a random value from the collection of {S, S+1, ..., S+T-1}.
PARAMETERS
When T increases, the interval between two adjacent channel requests increases, and RACH conflicts decrease.When S increases, the interval between two adjacent channel request messages increases, and RACH conflicts decrease, thus improving the usage of AGCH and SDCCH.The access time of the MS, however, is prolonged and the network performance is decreased when T and S increase. Under normal conditions, an appropriate T value should be used to ensure that S is as low as possible, and ensure that AGCH and SDCCH are not overloaded.GUI Value Range: TX_3(3), TX_4(4), TX_5(5), TX_6(6), TX_7(7), TX_8(8), TX_9(9), TX_10(10), TX_11(11), TX_12(12), TX_14(14), TX_16(16), TX_20(20), TX_25(25), TX_32(32), TX_50(50)Actual Value Range: TX_3, TX_4, TX_5, TX_6, TX_7, TX_8, TX_9, TX_10, TX_11, TX_12, TX_14, TX_16, TX_20, TX_25, TX_32, TX_50Unit: NoneDefault Value: NoneRecommended Value: TX_32

Multi-Frames in a Cycle on the Paging CH
Meaning: Number of multiframes in a cycle on a paging sub-channel. In fact, this parameter specifies the number of paging sub-channels that a paging channel in a cell is divided into.In an actual network, an MS does not listen to other paging sub-channels but its belonging paging sub-channel only. Refer to GSM Rec. 05.02 and GSM Rec. 05.08. The larger the value of this parameter, the more the number of the paging sub-channels in a cell, and the fewer the number of the users belonging to each paging sub-channel. In this case, the mean uptime of the MS battery can be prolonged. Refer to the computing mode of paging group in GSM 05.02 of GSM Standards. The larger the value of this parameter, however, the larger the time delay of a paging message in a space segment. Thus, the average service performance of the system lowers. Based on the principle of ensuring that overload does not occur to paging channels, you must set this parameter to a value as small as possible. You must regularly measure the overload conditions of the paging channels in a running network and accordingly adjust the value of this parameter properly. A paging message in a location area must be sent in all the cells within this location area at the same time. Therefore, the capacity of a paging channel of each cell in a location area must be the same or nearly the same. The capacity refers to the calculated number of paging sub-channels of each cell.GUI Value Range: 2_M_PERIOD(2 Multiframe Period), 3_M_PERIOD(3 Multiframe Period), 4_M_PERIOD(4 Multiframe Period), 5_M_PERIOD(5 Multiframe Period), 6_M_PERIOD(6 Multiframe Period), 7_M_PERIOD(7 Multiframe Period), 8_M_PERIOD(8 Multiframe Period), 9_M_PERIOD(9 Multiframe Period)Actual Value Range: 940~4230, step: 470Unit: msDefault Value: NoneRecommended Value: 2_M_PERIOD

NCC Permitted
Meaning: A set of NCCs of the cells to be measured by the MS. This parameter is an information element (IE) in the system information type 2 and 6 messages. If a bit of the value of this parameter is set to 1, the MS reports the corresponding measurement report to the BTS. The value of this parameter has a byte (eight bits). Each bit maps with an NCC (0~7) and the most significant bit corresponds to NCC 7. If bit N is 0, the MS does not measure the cell level of NCC N.GUI Value Range: SELECTION0_PERM(Selection of 0 Perm.), SELECTION1_PERM(Selection of 1 Perm.), SELECTION2_PERM(Selection of 2 Perm.), SELECTION3_PERM(Selection of 3 Perm.), SELECTION4_PERM(Selection of 4 Perm.), SELECTION5_PERM(Selection of 5 Perm.), SELECTION6_PERM(Selection of 6 Perm.), SELECTION7_PERM(Selection of 7 Perm.)Actual Value Range: SELECTION0_PERM, SELECTION1_PERM, SELECTION2_PERM, SELECTION3_PERM, SELECTION4_PERM, SELECTION5_PERM, SELECTION6_PERM, SELECTION7_PERMUnit: NoneDefault Value: None

Cell Reselection Offset
Meaning: Cell Reselect Offset (CRO), indicating a correction of the C2.Proper setting of this parameter can reduce the number of handover times, helpful for assigning an MS to a better cell. In a special case that the PT is 31, the larger the CRO value is, the lower the possibility of handing over an MS to the cell.Generally, do not set the CRO to a value larger than 25 dB. The CRO with a too large value will cause uncertain states in a network. The CRO values of the cells with different priorities in a network are almost the same. Refer to GSM Rec. 05.08 and GSM Rec. 04.08. The setting of this parameter affects only the MSs supporting the protocol of GSM Phase 2 or a later version.GUI Value Range: 0~63Actual Value Range: 0~126, step: 2Unit: dBDefault Value: NoneRecommended Value: 0

2. This command can be used only in built-in PCU mode.
GPRS Cell Reselection Hysteresis
Meaning: Hysteresis value of the cell in the same routing area. When the MS in the ready state reselects a cell, if the original cell and the target cell are in the same routing area, the C2 values of the two cells at the border of the cell are quite different due to radio channel fading. As a result, the MS frequently reselects cells. Frequent cell reselection can lead to increase of signaling traffic, inefficient use of radio resources, decrease of MS data transmission rate, and thus reducing the network service quality. The cell reselection hysteresis parameter is introduced. The signal level of the adjacent cell in the same area must be greater than that of the local cell. The difference of the signal level must be greater than the value of the cell reselection hysteresis parameter. Otherwise, the MS cannot reselect a cell. The greater the GPRS cell reselection hysteresis value, the harder to start cell reselection.GUI Value Range: 0dB(0dB), 2dB(2dB), 4dB(4dB), 6dB(6dB), 8dB(8dB), 10dB(10dB), 12dB(12dB), 14dB(14dB)

Accessorial Hysteresis of Cell Selection
Meaning: Hysteresis of cell selection in different routing area. When a standby or ready MS starts cell reselection, if the original cell and the target cell are in the different routing area, the signal level of the neighboring cell must be greater that of the current cell. Their difference must be larger than the specified hysteresis. Otherwise the MS cannot start cell reselection. The larger the hysteresis of GPRS cell selection, the harder to start cell reselection.GUI Value Range: 0dB(0dB), 2dB(2dB), 4dB(4dB), 6dB(6dB), 8dB(8dB), 10dB(10dB), 12dB(12dB), 14dB(14dB), nouse(no use)Actual Value Range: 0dB, 2dB, 4dB, 6dB, 8dB, 10dB, 12dB, 14dB, no useUnit: dBDefault Value: NoneRecommended Value: 2dB
