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 B7.2 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.

adjust the values of BS_TX_POWER_MAX and BS_TX_POWER_MAX_INNER
to avoid requiring too high an output power than is actually available.

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.

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 TCHs 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 request with pre-emption capability indicator set during at
most T11_forced seconds for a normal assignment or during at most

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

GSM900, 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 "2": (interpreted as 39 dBm by both the Phase 1 MS
and the Phase 2/onwards MS).

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 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.

Two training sequence codes are used in Alcatel BSS:
*) TSC for BCCH, CCCH and CBCH: the BSS sets the TSC to the
O&M parameter BCC. This behaviour is compliant to 3GPP TS 05.02
which states that for BCCH and CCCH, the TSC must be equal to
the BCC. In Alcatel BSS, for CBCH, the TSC is also set to BCC.
**) TSC for any other (packet) channel: the BSS sets the TSC to
the O&M parameter TSC.

Parameter Name
HMI Name
TX_INTEGER
Logical Name
Tx_integer (BSC)
Definition
Number of RACH timeslots that spread transmission of CHANNEL

REQUEST.
Coding rules
Possible values are:3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, 25, 32,
50 respectively binary coded from 0000 to 1111
Mandatory rules
Equal to Tx_integer (MFS)
Recommended rules
When the GPRS is supported through Abis or Ater terrestrial links, it

is recommended to set:
TX_INTEGER = 32 if the CCCH is not combined, i.e. CCCH_CONF
=0
TX_INTEGER = 12 if the CCCH is combined, i.e. CCCH_CONF = 1.
When the GPRS is supported through Abis or Ater satellite links, it is
recommended to set:
TX_INTEGER = 32 whatever the configuration of the CCCH.
The number of slots belonging to the MSs RACH between 2
successive 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_Integer and S depending on the
CCCH configuration as shown below:
1) for non combined CCCH:
- Tx_Integer = 3, 8, 14, 50 > S = 55 RACH frames (i.e. 253.8 ms)
- Tx_Integer = 4, 9, 16 > S = 76 RACH frames (i.e. 349.6 ms)
Tx_Integer = 7, 12, 32 > S = 217 RACH frames (i.e. 998.2 ms)
2) for combined CCCH:
Note:
- In the non-combined CCCH configuration, there are 51 RACH
frames per 51-multiframe
- In the combined CCCH configuration, there are 27 RACH frames
per 51-multiframe.

GPRS MSs using TEXAS Layer one chip with a wrong configuration
can't decode USFs sent in DL blocks coded in MCS. They are only
able to decode USFs sent in DL blocks coded in CS.
As soon as one of these "bugged MS" is multiplexed with one
EGPRS MS, i.e. the PDCH which supports the UL GPRS TBF, is
also used in DL by EGPRS TBF:
- If there is no DL GPRS established on this PDCH: the UL GPRS
TBF is lost.
- If there is DL GPRS established we have the risk to loose the UL
TBF (it depends on the way the USF are scheduled: on EGPRS DL
blocks or on GPRS DL blocks).
The "bugged MS" repeats three times the random access procedure
(after T3164 = 5sec expiry) then notify the upper layer. At the end,
we have an Attach failure.

Logical Name
T_ul_access_max
Definition
Timer to limit the duration of an UL TBF establishment.
Coding rules
step size = 50 ms, 0 = 0 ms, 1 = 50 ms,... , 100 = 5000 ms
Mandatory rules
Recommended rules
The two following rules are recommended:

i) The Time T_ul_access_max shall be longer than the duration of a
radio allocation requested towards the BSC.
ii) A too long value of T_ul_access_max may lead to reserve
unnecessarily radio 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
- T_ul_access_max = 1400 ms if GPRS traffic is carried through Ater
- T_ul_access_max = 1900 ms if GPRS traffic is carried through Ater
satellite links in at least one cell of the MFS.

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 - BS_PAG_BLKS_RES BS_PBCCH_BLKS) to be strictly greater than 0.

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.

An outgoing GPRS redirection is a NC cell reselection which is

triggered when the MS enters the packet transfer mode in the serving
cell even if the radio link is good. The intention of GPRS redirections
is to redirect the MS towards a target cell more appropriate to carry
PS traffic (for instance a macro cell).

This parameter allows to enable or disable attempts to perform

resource reallocation in order to:
- either maintain a TBF alive when its PACCH is fast preempted
(trigger T1);
- or attempt offering more PDCHs to an MS upon concurrent TBF
establishment (trigger T2) (With the Immediate UL TBF establishment
function, T2 is mandatory to get an optimal throughput);
- or periodically attempt offering more PDCHs to an MS which has a
TBF in the direction of the bias with less PDCHs than it can support
according to its multislot class (trigger T3);
- or to reallocate an UL GPRS TBF, which shares the same PDCH
with a DL EGPRS TBF (trigger T4).

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).

MAX_PDCH
Definition
Maximum number of slave and master PDCHs that can be

Coding rules
786 / 930
Mandatory rules
Max_PDCH >= MAX_PDCH_HIGH_LOAD;

If MAX_PDCH > 0 then EN_GPRS = TRUE ;
If MAX_PDCH = 0 then EN_GPRS = FALSE;
If MAX_PDCH = 0 then EN_EGPRS = FALSE;
If Max_PDCH = 0 then MAX_GPRS_CS = CS-2.
The aim of this rule is to prevent the BSC to trigger uselessly the
algorithms of adjust ranking and transmission pool set up (lead time
and outage) for CS3 and CS4, in case Max_PDCH = 0 (i.e. GPRS is
not allowed)
MAX_PDCH shall be set so that at least one slave PDCH can be
allocated to the MFS to serve DL or UL TBFs. This means that
MAX_PDCH > NB_TS_MPDCH if EN_GPRS = TRUE.
When Max_PDCH > 0 and cell_type = "extended inner" or "extended
outer", then the only possible value for GPRS administrative state is
"locked" (GPRS is not possible in an extended cell).
The following conditions are verified by the OMC-R in order to check
the upper limit of MAX_PDCH:
CCCH combined"
CCCH not combined"
Recommended rules
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:
NB_TS_MPDCH = 1, MAX_PDCH = 2, MAX_PDCH_HIGH_LOAD =
1, MIN_PDCH = 1.

When GPRS traffic is carried through Abis/Ater satellite links, the

repetition of (Packet) Channel Request messages is faster than
the network response. Then, it is likely to have double and even
triple PDCH allocation for one single TBF if there is no PDCH
established to serve the MS request. In order to avoid requesting
too many PDCHs and GCHs to the BSC (which would not be used)
N_TBF_PER_SPDCH can be increased to optimise the target
number of TBFs to be multiplexed on one PDCH.

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.

NC2_DEACTIVATION_MODE
Definition
NC2 deactivation mode. This parameter defines whether or not the

Packet Measurement Order message with a Reset Command is sent
at the end of a packet transfer.
Coding rules
0: "NC2 deactivation at the end of the packet transfer". A Packet

Measurement Order message is sent to deactivate the NC2 mode at
the end of the packet transfer.
1: "NC2 deactivation at the expiry of the GMM Ready timer". No
Packet Measurement Order message is sent to deactivate the NC2
mode.
Mandatory rules
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).

Parameter Name
HMI Name
PS_PREF_BCCH_TRX
Logical Name
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.

When set to 1, this parameter is only relevant if the BCCH TRX

supports PS traffic (i.e. if TRX_PREF_MARK = 0 on the BCCH TRX).
If EGPRS is activated in a non-hopping or a non-hopping /
radio-hopping cell, if the BCCH TRX can carry PS traffic and if the
BCCH TRX is associated to a TRE hardware and a transmission
pool allowing the usage of 8-PSK, the operator shall ensure that the
difference in the mean output powers between GSMK and 8-PSK
signals is less than 2 dB in order to be compliant with 3GPP TS 05.05
and 3GPP TS 05.08 requirements (or 4 dB if an SDCCH timeslot is
defined on timeslot number 7 of the BCCH TRX).
If EGPRS is activated in a base-band hopping cell, the operator
shall ensure that the difference in the mean output powers between
GMSK and 8-PSK signals is less than 2 dB in order to be compliant
with 3GPP TS 05.05 and 3GPP TS 05.08 requirements (or 4 dB if
timeslot number 7 is not part of the PDCH groups).

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.

When the GPRS traffic is carried through Abis or Ater satellite 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.
3) At the migration from B7 to B8, 900 ms is added to the
timer T_NETWORK_RESPONSE_TIME to restore the B7
BSS behavior. The added value of 900 ms at the migration

A low value is recommended to avoid Ater resource blocking.

However, given that a timer value of n sec means in fact that PDCHs
are kept inactive between (n-1) and n sec, a value of 1 sec is not
recommended.
The setting of the T_PDCH_Inactivity timer comes to make a trade-off
between the GCH resource usage and the Telecom performance:
- The higher is the T_PDCH_Inactivity timer, the higher is the GCH
resource usage on the Ater interface.
- The higher is the T_PDCH_Inactivity timer, the lower is the average
duration of TBF establishments on (P)CCCH, especially if the GPRS
traffic is carried through satellite

1) this timer will never be used for PDCHs supporting a

PBCCH/PCCCH.
2) In a cell where one slave PDCH is not statically established for
(E)GPRS traffic usage (EN_FAST_INITIAL_GPRS_ACCESS = 0),
the default value allows having shorter MS access times in case of
question/answer-like applications (e.g. WAP, WEB). In a cell where
one slave PDCH is statically established for (E)GPRS traffic usage
(EN_FAST_INITIAL_GPRS_ACCESS = 1), this timer is not used by
the BSS.
The setting of the T_PDCH_Inactivity_Last timer comes to make
a trade-off between the GCH resource usage and the Telecom
performance:
- The higher is the T_PDCH_Inactivity_Last timer, the higher is the
GCH resource usage on the Ater interface.
- The higher is the T_PDCH_Inactivity_Last timer, the lower is the
average duration of TBF establishments on (P)CCCH, especially if
the GPRS traffic is carried through satellite links.
This parameter may also be used to ensure that the BSS reserves at
least one GCH resource in the serving cell while the MS is engaged
in a Web browsing session.

The parameter is tuned according to the parameters

HIGH_TRAFFIC_LOAD_GPRS and LOW_TRAFFIC_LOAD_GPRS.
If resource reallocation is enabled for trigger T1, TBFs the PACCH
of which is impacted by soft pre-emption will be attempted to be
reallocated on other PDCHs, unless T_PDCH_PREEMPTION = 0.
In the latter case, no resource reallocation will be attempted and
the required number of PDCHs will be granted back to the BSC
immediately (after abnormally releasing the impacted TBFs).

Parameter Name
HMI Name
TX_INTEGER
Logical Name
Tx_integer (MFS)
Definition
Number of RACH timeslots that spread transmission of CHANNEL

REQUEST.
Coding rules
Possible values are:3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, 25, 32,
50 respectively binary coded from 0000 to 1111
Mandatory rules
Equal to Tx_Integer (BSC)
Recommended rules
When the GPRS is supported through Abis or Ater terrestrial links, it

is recommended to set:
=0
TX_INTEGER = 12 if the CCCH is combined, i.e. CCCH_CONF = 1.
When the GPRS is supported through Abis or Ater satellite links, it is
recommended to set:
TX_INTEGER = 32 whatever the configuration of the CCCH.
The number of slots belonging to the MSs RACH between 2
successive 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_Integer and S depending on the
CCCH configuration as shown below:
1) for non combined CCCH:
Tx_Integer = 7, 12, 32 > S = 217 RACH frames (i.e. 998.2 ms)
2) for combined CCCH:
Note:
- In the non-combined CCCH configuration, there are 51 RACH
frames per 51-multiframe
- In the combined CCCH configuration, there are 27 RACH frames
per 51-multiframe.

The BEP_PERIOD parameter defines the forgetting factor e 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.

If the NETWORK_CONTROL_ORDER is set to "NC2 mode of

operation for R99 onwards MS" or "NC2 mode of operation for all
MS", the 3G search is systematically deactivated when activating the
NC2 mode 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.
Since the total number of ARFCN described in the BA list shall
not exceed 32 in the serving cell, the number of useful ARFCN
(excluding the dummy ARFCN) is limited to 32 1 = 31 if the
Extended BCCH Frequency List IE of the SI2ter message describes
the dummy ARFCN. This case occurs when there is no additional
2G frequency to encode in the Extended BCCH Frequency List IE
of the SI2ter message but the SI2ter message has to be present for
2G-to-3G cell reselections.
