Qsearch_I (7 always) and Qsearch_P (7 always) define the threshold for non-GPRS/GPRS
(respectively) capable UEs to measure 3G neighbour cells when a running average of the
received downlink signal level (RLA_C) of the serving cell is below (0-7) or above (8-15) the
threshold

FddQoffset (-28): UEs add this offset to the RLA_C of the GSM cells. After that the UE
compares the measured RSCP values of 3G cells with signal levels of the GSM cells

FddQmin (-12),defines minimum Ec/No threshold that a 3G cell must exceed, in order the UE
makes a cell reselection from 2G to 3G. This is the new mapping table

FDD_REP_QUANT defines the reporting quantity for UTRAN cell (1=Ec/No or 0=RSCP,
default 1). This parameter is hidden and it can not be tuned
3G_Search_PRIO parameter allows to extend the BSIC reporting interval from 10 s to 13s
by checking the BSICs from non-serving BCCH carriers and also make WCDMA
measurements as often as possible. Range is 0=no, 1=yes, default value .This parameter is
hidden and it can not be tuned

Cell Reselection: Algorithm
Cell reselection from GSM to UTRAN takes place if following conditions for a particular 3G cell
are satisfied for a period of 5 seconds:
its measured RSCP value exceeds the value of received signal level averaged for the
serving cell and all of the suitable non-serving GSM cells by the value of FDD_Qoffset.
its measured Ec/No value is equal or greater than the value FDD_Qmin
FDD_Qmin_Offset.
its measured RSCP value is equal to or greater than FDD_RSCP_threshold (Optional).

UE can select WCDMA cell if the level of the

serving GSM and non-serving GSM cells has been
exceeded by certain offset for a period of 5 s:
CPICH RSCP >RLA_C+ FddQoffset
RSCP > (aveRxLev) + -28
FddQmin = -12 dB

UE will re-select WCDMA cell in case it's
