1 Introduction
1.1 Parameter Classification

The GSM and GPRS parameters are classified into three categories:
Network: customer dependent parameters, related to the network topology,
defined by the customer and valid for the complete network (e.g. BTS name,
Cell ID, LAC number ...). They can be adjusted by CDE scripts.
Site: adjustable parameters from one cell to the next or from one BSC to the
next. They are set to a default value. They can be adjusted from the OMC-R.
System: fixed parameters, i.e. BSS system mandatory rules or
automatically populated in the DLS skeleton and let unchanged because
not customer dependent. Some of them are coded in BTS Software and
configuration files.
1.2 Parameter Description

To each parameter are associated the following characteristics:
Logical Parameter Name: Mnemonic conventionally used in Alcatel
documentation.
Definition: definition/purpose of the parameter.
Coding rules:, Rules of coding, when necessary.
Mandatory rules: Mandatory relationships or inter-dependence of some
data.
Recommended rules: Recommended relationships or inter-dependence
of some data.
Feature: Indicates to which feature the parameter is linked.
Category: Category into which the parameter is classified.
Instance: Possible instance of the parameter.
Value
Min/Max values: Possible range of the parameter values.
Default value: Parameter value in release B9 for a generic configuration.
Modifiable: Indicates if the parameter is modifiable at the OMC-R.
Parameter Access: Indicates where the parameter is accessible at the
OMC-R.
External Comments: Specific information, when necessary, related
to the parameter.

External Comment
For external directed retries, the serving BSC does not know whether
or not the external target cells (towards which the directed retry
is triggered) are congested. Therefore, Alcatel recommend to set
RESP_REQ to 1 if EN_EDR is enabled in order to get a Handover
Reject message from the MSC in case all target cells are congested
and thus to attempt other procedures.

Definition
This flag enables/disables the TCH/VGCH pre-emption feature. If

enabled, a point-to-point or voice group call with the pvi (pre-emption
vulnerability indication) bit set might be pre-empted for a point-to-point
or voice group call that has the pci (pre-emption capability indication)
bit set if the concerned cell is in congestion state.

In case one or more TCHs have been reserved for emergency

handovers (NUM_TCH_EGNCY_HO > 0) in the concerned cell,
the BSC will first try to use one of these resources before actually
releasing an ongoing call with lower priority and the pvi bit set.In
case the cell is congested, if EN_TCH_PREEMPT is enabled and
the MSC does not allow the queing, the BSC will queue an incoming
point-to-point request with pre-emption capability indicator set during
at most T11_forced seconds for a normal assignment or during at
most T_qho seconds for an handover request. For the voice group
call request, the BSC will follow the MSC indicator.

According to the 3GPP TS 05.05, if the BCCH frequency band is

P-GSM/G1, depending on the version of MS (Phase 1 MS or Phase
2/onwards MS), the coded value "0", "1" and "2" are interpreted
differently:- Coded value "0": (interpreted as 43 dBm by the Phase
1 MS; interpreted as 39 dBm by the Phase 2/onwards MS);- Coded
value "1": (interpreted as 41 dBm by the Phase 1 MS; interpreted as
39 dBm by the Phase 2/onwards MS);- Coded value "2": (interpreted
as 39 dBm by both the Phase 1 MS and the Phase 2/onwards MS).

lowest preference in the TCH sub-channel selection process used
to serve a CS call. 1: CS TRX with preference mark 1: This TRX
can carry only CS traffic and has the preference mark 1 in the TCH
sub-channel selection process used to serve a CS call.7: CS TRX
with preference mark 7: This TRX can carry only CS traffic and has
the highest preference in the TCH sub-channel selection process
used to served a CS call. It means that this TRX has the highest
priority for CS traffic.
Mandatory rules
1) For a TRX in the inner zone of a monoband or multiband

concentric cell, the parameter TRX_PREF_MARK shall be set to a
non-null value.2) For a hopping or a pseudo non hopping G1 TRX,
if EGSM_RR_ALLOC_STRATEGY = 0 then TRX_PREF_MARK
<> 03)The following conditions are verified by the OMC-R in order
to check the upper limit of MAX_PDCH:i) MAX_PDCH <= 8*(nb
of TRXs with TRX_PREF_MARK = 0) - 1 if TRX_PREF_MARK
= 0 on BCCH TRX and CCCH_CONF = "1: CCCH combined"ii)
MAX_PDCH <= 8*(nb of TRXs with TRX_PREF_MARK = 0) - 2 if
TRX_PREF_MARK = 0 on BCCH TRX and CCCH_CONF = "0:
CCCH not combined"iii) MAX_PDCH <= NB_TS_MPDCH + 8*(nb of
TRXs with TRX_PREF_MARK = 0) if TRX_PREF_MARK <> 0 on
BCCH TRX.4) In case of cell shared over 2 BTSs, the GPRS TRXs of
the cell (ie TRX_PREF_MARK=0) can be either on the main sector
or on the secondary, but not on both.

Default value depends on MSC typeFor external directed retries,

the serving BSC does not know whether or not the external target
cells (towards which the directed retry is triggered) are congested.
Therefore, Alcatel recommend to set RESP_REQ to 1 if EN_EXT_DR
is set to enabled in order to get a Handover Reject message from
the MSC in case all target cells are congested and thus to attempt
other procedures.

resources. It is recommended to set T_ul_access_max = T_repeat +
240 ms Round_Trip_Delay, where the T_Repeat is the maximum
time between two successive packet channel requests, 240 ms is a
given margin. The value of T_Repeat depends on the parameters S,
TX_INT, and TX_INTEGER.It is recommended to set this parameter
as follows depending on whether or not GPRS traffic is carried
through Ater satellite links:- T_ul_access_max = 1400 ms if GPRS
traffic is carried through Ater terrestrial links in all the cells of the

Coding rules
Coded on 4 bits (1==0001, 2 == 0010 .. 15 == 1111).
Mandatory rules
Equal to BS_CV_MAX (MFS)
Recommended rules
BS_CV_MAX should be set to a value equal to the "minimum" round

trip delay to optimise the uplink re-transmission of non-acknowledged
blocks and minimise window-stalled situations.If BS_CV_MAX
is set greater than round-trip-delay, uplink retransmissions of
unacknowledged blocks may be delayed.It is recommended to set
this parameter as follows depending whether or not GPRS traffic is
carried through Abis or Ater satellite links:- BS_CV_MAX = 8 if GPRS
traffic is carried through Abis and Ater terrestrial links in the serving
cell,- BS_CV_MAX = 15 if GPRS traffic is carried either through Abis
satellite links or Ater satellite links in the serving cell.

According to 3GPP TS 05.02, the number of paging blocks "available"

on one PCCCH =(12 - BS_PAG_BLKS_RES - BS_PBCCH_BLKS)
* 64. In order for the network to be able to page GPRS-attached
Mobile Stations when PCCCH is present in the cell, there shall be
at least one radio block where paging can occur. This requires (12

Better performances for service access time will be obtained when

this parameter is set to enabled, but one PDCH will always be
established in the cell. A compromise has to be made by the operator
between performance gain and the cost of radio and terrestrial
resources. This compromise becomes of higher importance in
case of a cell connected through a satellite link due to the higher
GPRS access time with satellite links, but also the higher cost of
transmission links.

Definition
Default value of the (E)GPRS multislot class assumed at TBF

establishment when the actual MS (E)GPRS multislot class is
unknown.- In an Evolium BTS : The default MS class is used as an
input of the best candidate TBF allocation computation process
when the MS class is not known on UL TBF establishment- In a Non
Evolium BTS : The default MS class is used as an input of the best
candidate TBF allocation computation process when the MS class
is not known on UL TBF establishment.In the PDCH anticipation
process on UL TBF establishment : the default MS class is used to
determine how many PDCHs are established in advance to anticipate
the concurrent DL TBF establishment.
Coding rules
Only the following GPRS multislot class defined in 3GPP TS 05.02

annex B are allowed: 1: GPRS multislot class 1 (1+1 MS);2: GPRS
multislot class 2 (2+1 MS);4: GPRS multislot class 4 (3+1 MS);8:

The entered value is assumed by default at uplink TBF establishment

when the actual MS multislot class is unknown (e.g. access on
CCCH) in order to work out the number of timeslots anticipated
for the likely forthcoming downlink TBF. Otherwise, the multislot
class received in the request for uplink TBF establishment is taken
into account.In case the traffic is mainly signalling (majority of
RA Updates), Ater congestion may be encountered because the
transmission resources are allocated in advance, based on the
value of GPRS_MULTISLOT_CLASS_DEF_VALUE parameter.
Indeed, once the traffic type is confirmed signalling, these resources
are de-allocated, but at T_PDCH_Inactivity timer expiry, as a
consequence, in this case, the transmission resources are allocated
even if they are not used during several seconds. In this case, it is
advised to reduce the value of the default multislot class to 1.

Management of
Enable_GPRS Flag (Cell
Parameter)
Creation of a BSC
DLS Restore When the

Flag is Not In Lline With
Max_PDCH
This flag exists in the BSC and is managed by the OMC-R but it is not visible
to the operator. It is derived by the OMC-R from the value of Max_PDCH.
When the Enable_GPRS flag is set to true, it means that the BSC can accept
MFS requests for a certain cell. In some circumstances, there can be some
inconsistencies, but these might not have any impact:
When the BSS is discovered by the OMC-R, the MFS parameters are set to
their default value by the OMC-R. Max_PDCH is set to 0. (There may be
inconsistency at system level, but no impact.) Later, if the operator installs
GPRS, he has to download the radio configuration to the MFS. Through this
operation, the flag Enable_GPRS is recomputed for the cells concerned by
the PRC, and therefore downloaded to the BSC. All data is then in line for
the cells concerned by the PRC. It can occur that some cells remain with
Enable_GPRS set to true and Max_PDCH set to 0 but this does no harm at all
(no impact on the traffic, and not visible by the operator).
Any DLS restore must be followed by the following procedure to line-up the
EN_GPRS of the cells handled by this BSC with the Max_PDCH of these
cells currently stored in the OMC-R:
1. Copy the SC into the PRC
2. Activate this PRC
Until the synchronization is achieved, the cell cannot be set into service for
GPRS by the telecom application (there is no impact if the cell is already
started for GPRS).

In a micro cell, the operator may be interested to force the

MS to reselect a macro cell by a correct setting of the cell
reselection parameters broadcast on PBCCH (without using NC cell
reselections, i.e. when EN_OUTGOING_GPRS_REDIR is set to 0
and NETWORK_CONTROL_ORDER is set to NC0 in the micro
cell). In this case, the following configuration is recommended:

The Master PDCH requires the establishment of a GCH (Abis

and Ater) which does not carry traffic. In case of Abis or Ater
through satellite link, the usage of the MPDCH must consider the
following criteria:* higher cost of transmission resources through the
satellite link;* limited throughput of the RSL in case of Abis through
satellite to about 6 kbit/s (because of round trip delay effect on
acknowledged protocol with limited LAP-D window size). In case of
important CS signalling load, the RSL may not be able to transport
the additional signalling load due toTBF establishments when no
MPDCH is established.Hence the recommendation in the GPRS
through satellite case is:* for a cell connected with Abis through
satellite and with non negligible signalling load (CS+PS), MPDCH
is recommended;* for a cell connected with Ater through satellite,
MPDCH is not recommended.

Recommended rules
In cells where outgoing GPRS redirections are not triggered

systematically (i.e. EN_OUTGOING_GPRS_REDIR = Disable), the
presence of the PBCCH is not mandatory. However, the following
recommendations apply, depending on the presence of the PBCCH:If PBCCH is present, the NC2_DEACTIVATION_MODE can be set to
any value (at the end of the packet transfer mode or at the expiry of
the GMM Ready timer) if the setting of the C32 parameters ensures
that GPRS mobile stations do not camp in cells where outgoing
GPRS redirections are systematically triggered.- If PBCCH is not
present or PBCCH is present but C32 parameters are not correctly
set, the NC2_DEACTIVATION_MODE should be set to "at the expiry
of the GMM Ready timer" to prevent the GPRS mobile stations from
reselecting a cell where outgoing GPRS redirections are triggered
systematically (at least while the MS is in packet idle mode and the
GMM Ready timer is running).

If the NETWORK_CONTROL_ORDER is set to "NC2 mode

of operation for R99 onwards MS" or "NC2 mode of operation

activating the NC2 mode (activation performed through the
Packet Measurement Order [NC2] message). This 3G search
deactivation is then performed independently of the value of the
EN_2G_TO_3G_CELL_RESELECTION parameter.

PS_PREF_BCCH_TRX
Definition
Indicates whether or not the PS requests shall be preferentially

served with PDCH(s) of the BCCH TRX
Coding rules
0: No preference. The TRX ranking algorithm handles the BCCH

TRX as a non-BCCH TRX.1: PS requests preferentially served on
BCCH TRX. The TRX ranking algorithm ensures that the BCCH TRX
has the highest preference to carry PS traffic (provided that the BCCH
TRX can carry PS traffic, i.e. TRX_PREF_MARK = 0 on that TRX).
Mandatory rules
Recommended rules
If EGPRS is activated in a non-hopping or a non-hopping /

radio-hopping cell, Alcatel recommend to set this parameter to 0 in
order to reduce the likelihood of having to reduce the GMSK output
power (see external comment) and avoid wasting Abis transmission
resources. If EGPRS is activated in a base-band hopping cell, setting
this parameter to 0 does not reduce the likelihood of having to
reduce the GMSK output power since PS capable TRXs will hop on
the BCCH carrier.

The round-trip delay is used by the RRM, RLC and MAC layers. The
OMC-R and the MFS also use this parameter to determine whether
or not GPRS traffic is carried through Abis or Ater satellite links as
follows:- If round_trip_delay < 500 ms, the OMC-R and the MFS
consider that GPRS traffic is carried through Abis and Ater terrestrial
links,- If round_trip_delay >= 500 ms, the OMC-R and the MFS
consider that GPRS traffic is carried either through Abis satellite links
or Ater satellite links.When the GPRS traffic is carried through Abis
or Ater satellite links in the serving cell, it is recommended to set the
round_trip_delay parameter to [Delay due to satellite (540 ms) +
Delay due to MFS-MS link (160 ms)] = 700 ms.

links, it is recommended to set S so that the time between two
successive Packet Channel Request messages is longer than 1400
ms.The number of slots belonging to the MSs PRACH between 2
successive Packet Channel Request messages is a random value
drawn randomly for each new retransmission with uniform distribution
in the set (S, S+1, ...,S+T-1) with T = Tx_INT. The time in seconds
between two Packet Channel Request messages is determined as
a function of S, TX_INT and of the BS_PRACH_BLKS parameter.

1) The response time corresponds to T1 T2 where T2 corresponds

to the time at which a command is sent to the SGSN and T1 the time
at which the response is received on the MFS side. This command
/ response is e.g. the LLC PDU containing an FTP GET and the
first LLC PDU starting the file transfer. It can also be the LLC PDU
containing an HTTP GET and the first LLC PDU starting the page
download.2) The value of this timer defines the duration of the
Delayed DL TBF Release procedure. In case the servers to which
the GGSN serving the MFS is connected are not located at the same
place, then the maximum server response time should be entered.
However, note that the higher this timer is, the longer TBF releases
will be delayed and therefore the more resources are used up.

UL assignment, after sending a Packet Resource Request (case
of two-phase UL TBF establishment) or after including a Channel
Request Description Information Element in a Packet Downlink
Ack/Nack (case of UL TBF establishment on a concurrent DL TBF).

The setting of T3168 should leave sufficient time to the MFS for
granting PDCHs for serving the UL TBF request, plus also cover
the round trip time and the possible queuing delay within the MFS
before the Packet Uplink Assignment can be sent to the Mobile
Station. Therefore a value of 500 ms is not allowed in this release
of the Alcatel BSS.

of operation for R99 onwards MS" or "3: NC2 mode of operation
for all MS".The serving cell is considered in a low load situation
when THR_NC2_LOAD_RANKING = 0 %. The value of 0 %
deactivates the load evaluation in the serving cell.The load situation
of external cells is unknown in the serving cell. The BSS then
computes the NC2 load of those cells as follows:- If the threshold
THR_NC2_LOAD_RANKING is set to a value lower than 100 %,
then the cell is considered in a low load situation.- If the threshold
THR_NC2_LOAD_RANKING is set to 100 %, then the cell is

The BEP_PERIOD parameter defines the forgetting factor used in

the MEAN_BEP and CV_BEP averaging at the MS side.In case of
cell without frequency hopping and without "fast" mobiles (i.e. not
motorway or TGV coverage), it is advised to set a higher value (e.g.
25) in order to avoid spurious MCS changes causing higher BLER
and throughput loss.

Logical Name
N_ATER_TS_MARGIN_GPU
Definition
Number of free 64k Ater TSs that are kept "in reserve" in order to be
able to serve some prioritary requests in cells managed by the GPU.
The prioritary requests are the GCH establishment requests launched
when the first TBF has to be established in a cell (useful to guarantee
that MM traffic will be supported in any cell at any time).Note : In
case of non-Evolium BTS, those are PDCHs that will be established
instead of GCHs.In case N_ATER_TS_MARGIN_GPU = 0, then no
Ater margin is managed.In case N_ATER_TS_MARGIN_GPU > 0,
RRM will ensure that N_ATER_TS_MARGIN_GPU 64k Ater TSs are
always free (i.e. not used by a GCH in the GPU). From then on, only
prioritary requests will be allowed to establish some GCHs (Evolium
BTS) / PDCHs (non-Evolium BTS) with those Ater resources.

- Increasing the value of N_ATER_TS_MARGIN_GPU will make

the average number of unused Ater nibbles in the GPU increase.
That corresponds to a loss of Ater resources on the field, as the
on-going TBF traffic will never "benefit from the margin of Ater
resources". But, on the other hand, the likelihood of not serving a
prioritary request in the GPU will be become very low.- Decreasing
the value of N_ATER_TS_MARGIN_GPU (to a non null value) will
make it possible that prioritary requests cannot be served in case
several such requests have to be served in a short period of time
(i.e. before having had the time to "fill the Ater margin" up again),
especially if the requests have to be served on several different
DSPs (one 64k Ater TS will be consumed by each DSP).- Setting
N_ATER_TS_MARGIN_GPU to 0 will make it possible the cases
where prioritary requests cannot be served at all.
