Meaning: TX power of the P-CPICH in a cell. This parameter

should be set based on the actual system environment such as cell
coverage (radius) and geographical environment. For the cells to
be covered, the downlink coverage must be guaranteed. For the
cells requiring soft handover area, this parameter should satisfy
the proportion of soft handover areas stipulated in the network
plan. For detailed information about this parameter, refer to 3GPP
TS 25.433.
GUI Value Range: -100~500
Unit: 0.1dBm
Actual Value Range: -10~50
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: 330
Parameter Relationship: 1. The value of this parameter must
satisfy the following relationship: Min Transmit Power of
PCPICH <= PCPICH Transmit Power <=Max Transmit Power of
PCPICH 2. To modify the PCPICH Transmit Power, the intrafrequency load balance algorithm of the cell should be disabled.
You can use LST UCELLALGOSWITCH to query the switch and
use MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH to modify the switch.
Service Interrupted After Modification : No (No impact on the UE
in idle mode)
Impact on Network Performance: If the maximum transmit power
of the PCPICH is configured too large, the cell capacity will be
decreased because a lot of system resources will be occupied and
the interference with the downlink traffic channels will be
increased.

Meaning: Minimum CPICH Ec/No for the neighboring cell on cell

reselection. The neighboring cell can be involved in cell sorting for
reselection only when its CPICH Ec/No is above this threshold. If this
parameter is set to the same value as Qqualmin for the serving cell,
Qqualmin is not contained in SIB11 or SIB12. In this case, the UE
extracts the Qqualmin from SIB3. For details, see the 3GPP TS 25.331.
According to the 3GPP TS 25.304, S criterion for cell reselection is
defined as follows: Srxlev > 0 and Squal > 0

Here,
Squal = Qqualmeas - Qqualmin
Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas - Qrxlevmin - Pcompensation
"Qqualmeas" refers to the measured CPICH Ec/No.
"Qrxlevmeas" refers to the CPICH RSCP.
"Qrxlevmin" refers to the minimum CPICH receive power in the current
cell.
Pcompensation = max(UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH - P_MAX, 0)
"UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH", also named as
"MaxAllowedULTxPower", refers to the maximum uplink transmit
power when the UE accesses a cell.
"P_MAX" refers to the maximum RF output power of the UE.

Delay Time The value of this parameter is associated with slow
fading. If this parameter is set to a greater value,
the probability of incorrect decision becomes low;
however, the handover algorithm becomes slow in
responding to signal change.
The emulation result shows that the hysteresis
setting can effectively reduce the average number
of handovers and the number of incorrect
handovers, thus preventing unnecessary handovers.
The emulation result also shows that the UE at
different data rates may react differently to the
delay for triggering the event. For the fast-moving
UE, the call drop rate is more sensitive to the delay,
whereas, for the slow-moving UE, the call drop
rate is less sensitive to the delay. This can also
reduce ping-pong handovers and incorrect
handovers. Therefore, for the cell where most UEs
are in fast movement, this parameter can be set to a
smaller value, whereas for the cell where most UEs
are in slow movement, this parameter can be set to
a greater value. The value of this parameter can be
adjusted according to the actual network statistics.

THD

Meaning: Threshold of triggering inter-RAT

measurement for CS services when measurement
quantity is Ec/No.
The threshold of triggering the inter-RAT
measurement (the threshold of enabling the
compressed mode) is a key parameter in the interRAT handover policy. The setting of this parameter
affects the proportion of the UEs in compressed
mode in a cell and the success rate of the hard
handover. The setting of this parameter should
consider two factors, moving speed of the UE and
cell radius.
When Ec/No is used as the measurement quantity
for CS services, the UE reports event 2D when the
measured Ec/No value is lower than this threshold.
Then, the RNC sends the signaling to enable the
compressed mode and start inter-RAT
measurement.
For the UE moving at a speed of 5 km/h, the
recommended threshold is -17 dB; for the UE
moving at a speed of 50 km/h, the recommended
threshold is -14 dB; for the UE moving at a speed
of 120 km/h, the recommended threshold is -12 dB.
In actual networks, set this parameter to -14 dB
because the UEs in a cell usually move at different
speeds. The emulation result shows that the call
drop rate remains low for the UEs moving at a
speed of 120 km/h when this parameter is set to -14
dB.
If the cell is a macro cell, it indicates that micro
cells exist in this cell. To enable the micro cells to
handle more traffic, the compressed mode start and
stop thresholds should be set higher, that is, the
thresholds for events 2D and 2F using CPICH
RSCP are set higher.

If the cell is a micro cell, the default value should

be modified according to the link budgeting result.
Event 2D and event 2F are used to enable and
disable the compressed mode respectively. When
the cell is located in the center of the frequency
coverage or the inter-frequency measurement
quantity uses both Ec/No and RSCP, then the
Ec/No value is used as the criterion for events 2D
and 2F. To enable the compressed mode earlier,
increase the threshold of triggering event 2D;
otherwise, decrease the threshold of triggering
event 2D. To prevent the frequent enabling and
disabling of the compressed mode, increase the
difference between the thresholds of triggering
event 2D and event 2F.
Event 2D and event 2F are used to enable and
disable the compressed mode respectively in interRAT measurement. The requirements on the signal
quality and inter-RAT handover policies vary with
the service type. Therefore, the thresholds of
enabling and disabling inter-RAT measurement are
distinguished by CS, PS, and signaling.
To enable the compressed mode earlier, increase
the threshold of triggering event 2D; otherwise,
decrease the threshold of triggering event 2D. To

When RSCP is used as the measurement quantity
for PS domain non-HSPA services, the UE reports
event 2D when the measured RSCP value is lower
than this threshold. Then, the RNC sends the
signaling to enable the compressed mode and start
the inter-RAT measurement.
To enable the compressed mode earlier, increase
the threshold of triggering event 2D; otherwise,
decrease the threshold of triggering event 2D. To
prevent the frequent enabling and disabling of the
compressed mode, increase the difference between
the thresholds of triggering event 2D and event 2F.
In most cases, users want to be maintained within a

3G network. Therefore, the start threshold of the

inter-RAT measurement is set smaller than that of
the inter-frequency measurement in order to trigger
inter-frequency easily. In scenarios where interfrequency neighboring cells are unavailable or
where inter-frequency coverage is insufficient, the
inter-RAT measurement start threshold should be
set relatively larger in order to trigger inter-RAT
measurement easily, thus reducing call drops.

parameter correlates with slow fading. If this

addition, the UE at different rates may react
differently to the same interval. For the fastmoving UE, the call drop rate is more sensitive to
this interval, whereas, for the slow-moving UE,
the call drop rate is less sensitive to this interval.
Therefore, for the cell with most of the fastmoving UEs, this parameter can be set to a

compression mode) is a key parameter in the
inter-frequency handover policy. The setting of
this parameter affects the proportion of the UEs in
compression mode in a cell and the success rate of
the hard handover. To set this parameter, consider
the following factors: moving speed of the UE
and cell radius.
When RSCP is used as the measurement quantity
for CS services, the UE reports event 2D when the
measured RSCP value is lower than the value of
this parameter. Then, the RNC sends the signaling
to activate the compression mode and start the
inter-frequency measurement.
For the UE moving at a speed of 5 km/h, the
recommended threshold is -100 dBm; for the UE
moving at a speed of 50 km/h, the recommended
threshold is -97 dBm; for the UE moving at a
speed of 120 km/h, the recommended threshold is
-93 dBm.
For the cell in which the UEs are moving at
various speeds, set this parameter to -95 dBm.
The emulation result shows that the call drop rate
remains low for the UEs moving at a speed of 120
km/h when this parameter is set to -95 dBm.
Event 2D and event 2F are used to enable and
disable the compression mode respectively. To
enable the compression mode earlier, increase the
threshold of triggering event 2D; otherwise,
decrease the threshold of triggering event 2D. To
prevent the frequent enabling and disabling of the
compression mode, increase the difference
between the thresholds of triggering event 2D and
event 2F.
When the signals at the entrance to an elevator or
a subway change too fast to perform handover, set
this parameter to -90 dBm to enable the
compression mode earlier.

Meaning: This parameter specifies the event 2D/2F

measurement threshold of which measurement type (interfrequency or inter-RAT measurements) will be used, when
inter-frequency and inter-RAT measurements coexist.
When COEXIST_MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTERFREQ
is selected, event 2D/2F measurement thresholds oriented
towards inter-frequency configuration are selected.
When COEXIST_MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTERRAT is
selected, event 2D/2F measurement thresholds oriented
towards inter-RAT configuration are selected.
The factors such as the event 2D/2F measurement
thresholds for inter-frequency measurement and inter-RAT
measurement, inter-frequency and inter-RAT handover
decision thresholds, and current handover policy should be
considered during setting. For example, if the event 2D
threshold for inter-RAT measurement is higher than that
for inter-frequency measurement, and inter-frequency
neighboring cells are preferred when inter-RAT and interfrequency neighboring cells coexist, then
COEXIST_MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTERFREQ should
be selected.
GUI Value Range:
COEXIST_MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTERFREQ(Choosi

AllocCodeMode

Allocate
Code
Mode

Meaning: If Manual is chosen, parameter Code Number

for HS-PDSCH determines HS-PDSCH code number to
be allocated. If Automatic is chosen, allocate HS-PDSCH
code number between configured Code Max Number for
HS-PDSCH and Code Min Number for HS-PDSCH .
For detailed information of this parameter, refer to 3GPP
TS 25.308.
GUI Value Range: Manual(Manual),
Automatic(Automatic)
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: Manual, Automatic
MML Default Value: Automatic
Recommended Value: Automatic
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification : No (No impact
on the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Network Performance: At the early stage of
network deployment, or when the traffic model of
subscribers in a cell is not known, the parameter can be
set to Automatic to have the HSDPA channel codes
automatically allocated. If the traffic model of subscribers
in a cell is stable and known, the parameter can be set to
Manual to select the static allocation mode. Manual
allocation leads to restriction of HSDPA code resource or
leaves HSDPA code resource idle.

HsPdschCodeNum

Code
Number
for HSPDSCH

Meaning: The parameter specifies the number of HSDPSCH codes. This parameter is valid only when
Allocate Code Mode is set to "Manual". For detailed
information about this parameter, refer to 3GPP TS
25.308.
GUI Value Range: 1~15
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: 1~15
MML Default Value: 5
Recommended Value: 5
Parameter Relationship: This paramter is valid only when
AllocCodeMode is set to Manual.
Service Interrupted After Modification : No (No impact

on the UE in idle mode)

Impact on Network Performance: If the parameter value
is set too low, the HSDPA code resources will be limited
and the HSDPA performance is affected. If the parameter
value is set too high, the HSDPA code resources are
wasted, thus increasing the admission rejection rate for
R99 services.
HsPdschMaxCodeNu
m

Code Max
Number
for HSPDSCH

Meaning: The parameter determines the maximum

number of HS-PDSCH codes (SF=16). This parameter is
valid only when Allocate Code Mode is set to
"Automatic". The number of codes used by the HSPDSCH is dynamically set between Code Min Number
for HS-PDSCH and Code Max Number for HSPDSCH, based on whether the code tree is idle or busy.
When the code resource used by the non-HSPA services is
little, the HS-PDSCH uses the rest idle codes as much as
possible, and the maximum number of idle codes (SF=16
continuous codes) is equal to the value of Code Max
Number for HS-PDSCH.
GUI Value Range: 1~15
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: 1~15
MML Default Value: 5
Recommended Value: 5
Parameter Relationship: This paramter is valid only when
AllocCodeMode is set to Automatic and the value of this
parameter must satisfy the following relationship:
HsPdschMaxCodeNum >= HsPdschMinCodeNum.
Service Interrupted After Modification : No (No impact
on the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Network Performance: None

HsPdschMinCodeNum Code Min

Number
for HSPDSCH

Meaning: The parameter specifies the minimum number

of the HS-PDSCH codes (SF=16). This parameter is valid
only when Allocate Code Mode is set to Automatic. The
number of codes used by the HS-PDSCH is dynamically
set between Code Min Number for HS-PDSCH and
Code Max Number for HS-PDSCH, based on the idle
state of the code tree. When the non-H services need
more code resources, the non-H service will gradually
occupy the codes used by the HS-PDSCH. The number of
codes (SF=16 continuous codes) the HS-DPSCH reserved
is not less than the value of Code Min Number for HS-

PDSCH.
GUI Value Range: 1~15

Meaning: NOACT: No load reshuffling action is taken.

INTERFREQLDHO: The inter-frequency load

BERATERED: Channels are reconfigured for the BE
service.
QOSRENEGO: The renegotiation on the QoS of the

CSINTERRATSHOULDBELDHO: The inter-RAT
SHOULDBE load handover of the CS domain is
performed.
PSINTERRATSHOULDBELDHO: The inter-RAT
SHOULDBE load handover of the PS domain is
performed.
AMRRATERED (AMR service rate decreasing): The
setting of the TFC subset and the negotiation of the

service rate can be performed for the AMR voice

service.
MBMSDECPOWER (MBMS power limiting): The
MBMS service is configured with the minimum power.
CODEADJ (code tree reshuffling): The fragments of
the downlink code tree are arranged.
PSINTERRATSHOULDNOTBELDHO: The interRAT SHOULDNOTBE load handover of the PS
domain is performed.
PSINTERRATSHOULDNOTLDHO: The inter-RAT
SHOULDNOTBE load handover of the PS domain is
performed.
The LDR takes the actions in the preset sequence and
judges whether each action is successful. If an action is
unsuccessful, the LDR turns to the next action. If an
action is successful, a parameter is set to NOACT, or
all the preceding actions are taken, the downlink LDR
is finished, and the system waits for the next triggering
of the LDR.
Because each action is performed by its algorithm
module, the LDR algorithm only selects users and
delivers control messages, the execution result of each
action can be obtained after a delay, and the LDR
algorithm cannot wait for a long time, so the LDR can
only judge whether the actions succeed by whether
candidate users are found.
The inter-frequency load handover has no impact on
the QoS of users and can balance the cell load, so the
inter-frequency load handover usually serves as the
first action.
The BE service rate reduction is effective only when
the DCCC algorithm is enabled.

UL
threshold of
Conv AMR
service

Meaning: The percentage of the conversational

AMR service threshold to the 100% uplink load. It
is applicable to algorithm 1 and algorithm 2. The
parameter is used for controlling the AMR service
admission. That is, when a AMR service is
accessing, the RNC evaluates the measurement
value of the uplink load after the service is
accessed. If the UL load of a cell is higher than this
threshold after the access of a AMR speech service,
this service will be rejected. If the UL load of a cell
will not be higher than this threshold, this service
will be admitted.
The UL load factor thresholds include parameters of
[UL threshold of Conv AMR service],[UL threshold
of Conv non_AMR service],[UL handover access
threshold] and [UL threshold of other services]. The

four parameters can be used to limit the proportion

between the conversational service, handover user
and other services in a specific cell, and to
guarantee the access priority of the conversational
AMR service.
GUI Value Range: 0~100

Service Interrupted After Modification : No (No
impact on the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Network Performance: If the value is too
high the system load after admission may be over
large, which impacts system stability and leads to
system congestion. If the value is too low, the
possibility of user rejects may increase, resulting in
waste in idle resources.
UlNonCtrlThdForNonAM

parameter is used for controlling the non-AMR
service admission. That is, when a non-AMR
service is accessing, the RNC evaluates the
measurement value of the uplink load after the
service is accessed. If the UL load of a cell is higher
than this threshold after the access of a non-AMR
speech service, this service will be rejected. If the
UL load of a cell will not be higher than this
threshold, this service will be admitted.
The UL load factor thresholds include parameters of
[UL threshold of Conv AMR service], [UL

threshold of Conv non_AMR service], [UL

handover access threshold] and [UL threshold of
other services]. The four parameters can be used to
limit the proportion between the conversational
service, handover user and other services in a

services

Meaning: The percentage of other service

thresholds to the 100% uplink load. The services
refer to other admissions except the conversational
AMR service, conversational non-AMR service,
and handover scenarios. It is applicable to algorithm
1 and algorithm 2. The parameter is used for
controlling other service admissions. That is, when
a service is accessing, the RNC evaluates the
measurement value of the uplink load after the
service is accessed. If the UL load of a cell is higher
than this threshold after the access of a service, this

service will be rejected. If the UL load of a cell will

not be higher than this threshold, this service will be

It is applicable to algorithm 1 and algorithm 2. The
parameter is used for controlling the AMR service
admission. That is, when an AMR service is
accessing, the RNC evaluates the measurement
value of the downlink load after the service is
accessed. If the DL load of a cell is higher than this
threshold after the access of an AMR speech
service, this service will be rejected. If the DL load
of a cell will not be higher than this threshold, this

service will be admitted.

The DL load factor thresholds include parameters
of [DL threshold of Conv non_AMR service], [DL
handover access threshold] and [DL threshold of
other services]. The four parameters can be used to
limit the proportion between the conversational
service, handover user and other services in a

system congestion. If the value is too low, the
possibility of user rejects may increase, resulting in
waste in idle resource and the failure to achieving
the network planning target.
DlOtherThd

DL
threshold of
other
services

Meaning: The percentage of other service

thresholds to the 100% downlink load. The services
refer to other admissions except the conversational
AMR service, conversational non-AMR service,
and handover scenarios. It is applicable to algorithm
1 and algorithm 2. The parameter is used for
controlling other service admissions. That is, when
a service is accessing, the RNC evaluates the
measurement value of the downlink load after the
service is accessed. If the DL load of a cell is higher
than this threshold after the access of a service, this
service will be rejected. If the DL load of a cell will
not be higher than this threshold, this service will be
admitted.
The DL load factor thresholds include parameters
of [DL threshold of Conv non_AMR service], [DL
handover access threshold] and [DL threshold of
other services]. The four parameters can be used to
limit the proportion between the conversational
service, handover user and other services in a
specific cell, and to guarantee the access priority of

other services.

Service Interrupted After Modification : No (No
impact on the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Network Performance: If the value is too
high the system load after admission may be over
large, which impacts system stability and leads to
system congestion. If the value is too low, the
possibility of user rejects may increase, resulting in
waste in idle resources and the failure to achieving
network planning target.
UlNonCtrlThdForHo

UL
handover
access
threshold

Meaning: The percentage of the handover service

admission threshold to the 100% uplink load. It is
applicable to algorithm 1 and algorithm 2. The
parameter is used for controlling the handover
admission. That is, when a service is handing over
to a cell, the RNC evaluates the measurement value
of the uplink load after the service is accessed. If
the UL load of a cell is higher than this threshold
after the access, this service will be rejected. If the
UL load of a cell will not be higher than this
threshold, this service will be admitted.
GUI Value Range: 0~100
Unit: %
Actual Value Range: 0~1
MML Default Value: 80

Add Cell Channel Power Offset Information(ADD UCHPWROFFSET)

Function

Use this command to add channel power offset information to a cell,includes

1.Add the power offset information of the AICH and PICH in a cell.
2.An AICH is used to carry acquisition indicators, each of which corresponds to a signature of an
RACH. A PICH is used to carry paging indicators. It is always related to the SCCPCH mapped
from the PCH.
Note

PICH Power Offset and AICH Power Offset can be adjusted based on the actual measured
values in the system.

Parameters

Cell ID

Parameter Description

Meaning: The logical cell ID uniquely identifies a cell in a radio

network.
The logical cell ID is configured at the BSC6900. The BSC6900
sends the cell ID to the base station during a cell setup procedure.
The mapping between logical cell IDs and local cell IDs are
configured at the BSC6900.
The BSC6900 supports a maximum of 5100 logical cells. Logical
cells are uniquely but not necessarily consecutively numbered
within a BSC6900. For example, you can set the ID of a logical
cell to 0 and that of another logical cell to 2.
For clear and easy identification, adhere to the following
numbering principles:
Specify different number ranges for logical cells in different
subracks. For example, you can specify the range of 0 to 899 for
the logical cells in subrack 0 (MPS) and the range of 900 to 1799
for the logical cells in subrack 1 (EPS).For detailed information
about this parameter, see 3GPP TS 25.401.

Parameter Description

Recommended Value: -7
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification : No (Impact on the UE in

Impact on Network Performance: If the value is set too small, the
UEs on the cell edge cannot receive the paging indication
properly. This problem may cause a misoperation of reading the
PCH, waste the battery of the UE, affect the coverage of the
downlink common channel, and finally affect the cell coverage.
If the value is too great, it causes interference to other channels,
occupies the downlink transmit power, and affects the cell
capacity.

Impact on Network Performance: If the value is set too small, the
UEs on the cell edge cannot receive the acquisition indication
properly. This problem affects the coverage of the downlink
common channel and furthermore the coverage of the cell. If the
value is set too great, it causes interference to other channels,
occupies the downlink transmit power, and affects the cell
capacity.

This parameter should fulfill the coverage requirement of the
network planning, and the value is relative to [PCPICH transmit
power]. For detailed information of this parameter, refer to 3GPP TS
25.433.
GUI Value Range: -350~150
Unit: 0.1dB
Actual Value Range: -35~15
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: None
Parameter Relationship: The value of this parameter must not be
smaller than RlMinDlPwr.
Service Interrupted After Modification : No (No impact on the UE in
idle mode)
Impact on Network Performance: If the value of this parameter is set
to a too great value, the downlink transmit power on a single radio
link is too high. Thus, the downlink capacity is affected. If the value
of this parameter is set to a too small value, the coverage area of
services is decreased, and the risk of call drops is increased.
