plmnPermitted : This parameter is confusing. Its not used for network

selection. Its used AFTER a network has been selected so that only
measurements from one/defined PLMN are reported
notAllowedAccessClasses : Mobile Subscribers are uniformly distributed
among 10 "access classes" coded 0 9. This information is stored in the SIM. To
control the load of the RACH the operator can forbid some classes to access the
cell. Additional VIP classes are coded between 11 and 15.
radiusExtension : The parameter defines cell radius extension of the Improved
solution for Extended cell radius.

Normally the cell re-selection is harmless in terms of signalling from the point of view
of the Network.
However when the process involves a change in the Location Area the MS will
recognize the need for
MS Moving
Location Update. To avoid
ping pong effects on the border of a Location Area, an
hysteresis is introduced.

Idle Channel Interference

The BTS measures and reports on the uplink interference of the
radio channels which have
been idle during the whole measurement period.

TRX Prioritization in TCH Allocation

Normal practice
TCHs in the lowest Interference Band are considered
TCH is selected from the TRX with lowest traffic load
Rotation of resources in TCH allocation
TRX Prioritisation in TCH Allocation
BTS Parameter trxPriorityInTCHAlloc
0
No prioritization is determined between TRXs
1
Traffic channel shall be allocated primarily from the BCCH TRX
2
Traffic channel shall be allocated primarily beyond the BCCH TRX
The advantages of using the BCCH carrier :
It would not increase interference in the network
BCCH channels are planned to be the least interfered one
The advantage of using the TCH TRX :
The hopping gain

Directed Retry (DR) - 1

DR used to avoid the loss of a call in call-setup if the accessed cell is congested

Measurement Processing
BSC is able to maintain up to 32 last measurement results of 32 adjacent cells
Mobile reports to BSC 6 best results and the rest are 0 (= -110 dBm)
Zero Results can be eliminated from averaging ( up to 7 )
All adjacent cells can be averaged or just 6 best ( reported by the mobile )
