This message is sent optionally on the BCCH by the network to all mobile stations within the
cell giving information on the extension of the BCCH allocation in the neighbour cells.

This message is sent optionally on the BCCH by the network to all mobile stations within the
cell giving information on additional measurement and reporting parameters and/or UTRAN
neighbour cells and/or E-UTRAN neighbour frequencies. A mobile station with no UTRAN
capability should ignore the 3G Neighbour Cell, 3G MEASUREMENT parameter, GPRS_3G
MEASUREMENT parameter and 3G Priority parameters descriptions in this message. A mobile
station with no E-UTRAN capability should ignore the E-UTRAN parameters description and
GPRS E-UTRAN measurement parameters description in this message. Multiple instances of
this message may be sent by the network.

Inter-RAT Cell Reselection Enable

Meaning: This parameter specifies whether the reselection from 2G cells to 3G cells is
allowed.
GUI Value Range: NO(No), YES(Yes)
Recommended Value: NO
LTE Cell Reselection Allowed
Meaning: Whether to allow cell reselection from GSM to LTE.

Support Sent 2QUATER

Meaning: This parameter specifies whether the SI Type 3 message contains the
2QUATER indicator.
Recommended Value: YES


If just one frequency in the UTRAN FDD BA1 table, MS should implement cell reselection
equal or less than 30S. One more 3G frequency, extra 30s needed.



QI is the start level for measuring neighboring WCDMA cells. In the NC0 or NC1 cell
reselection for MSs in idle or packet transfer mode, MSs start to search for neighboring
WCDMA cells when the level of the serving cell is lower than the value of QI or higher than
the value of QI. When QI is set to 7, MSs always search for neighboring WCDMA cells.
Ec/No and Received Signal Code Power (RSCP) of the Common Pilot Channel (CPICH) are
commonly used during neighboring WCDMA cell measurement. In WCDMA, Ec/No is the
ratio of energy per modulating bit to the noise spectral density. It is equivalent to C/I in GSM.
An MS starts GSM-to-WCDMA cell reselections if the following conditions are met and last
for more than 5 seconds:
CPICH RSCP > RLA_C + FDDQOFF
CPICH Ec/No ≥ FDDQMIN - FDDQMINOFFSET
CPICH RSCP ≥ FDD_RSCP_threshold
Where,
RLA_C is the average receive level. In a GSM-to-WCDMA cell reselection, the
RSCP of the neighboring WCDMA cell must meet the following requirements:
RSCP > Average receive level of the serving cell + FDDQOFF
RSCP > Receive level of each neighboring GSM cell + FDDQOFF

FDDQOFF is the receive level difference between the candidate WCDMA cell and the serving
GSM cell. This parameter is a key factor for controlling the GSM-to-WCDMA cell reselection.
The greater the value of FDDQOFF is, the more difficult it is for the GSM-to-WCDMA cell
reselection condition to be met, and more MSs will camp on the GSM cell.
FDDQMIN is the minimum Ec/No threshold for GSM-to-WCDMA cell reselection. The greater
the value of FDDQMIN is, the more difficult it is to meet the cell reselection condition.
FDDQMINOFFSET is offset of the minimum Ec/No threshold for GSM-to-WCDMA cell
reselection. An MS determines the minimum receive level of a candidate WCDMA cell for cell
reselection based on FDDQMIN and FDDQMINOFFSET. That is, FDDQMIN and
FDDQMINOFFSET do not determine the cell reselection from GSM to WCDMA directly but
guarantee the signal quality of the candidate WCDMA cell.
If multiple FDD cells meet the preceding conditions, the MS reselects the cell with the
strongest receive level.
See 3GPP TSs 45.008 and 25.304.

Where,
P_MAX is the maximum RF output power of the MS(dBm) in UTRAN FDD mode, see
3GPP TS 25.304.
Qrxlevmin is the minimum required RX level in the UTRAN FDD cell(dBm), see 3GPP
TS 25.304.
Pcompensation is max(UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH – P_MAX, 0) (dB), see 3GPP TS
25.304.
UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH is the maximum TX power level an MS may use
when accessing the UTRAN FDD cell on RACH (dBm), see 3GPP TS 25.304.
FDDRSCPMIN is used to calculate the FDD_RSCP_threshold of the target cell for a
GSM-to-WCDMA cell reselection.
If multiple WCDMA cells meet the cell reselection conditions, the MS selects the cell with the
highest RSCP as the target cell.
The GSM-to-WCDMA cell reselection cannot be triggered within five seconds after the
WCDMA-to-GSM cell reselection. In case of a cell reselection occurring within the previous 15
seconds, FDDQOFF is increased by 5 dB.
If both the conditions for the GSM-to-WCDMA cell reselection and those for the GSM-to-GSM
cell reselection are met, the MS selects a WCDMA cell as the target cell.

Qsearch I (QI)
Meaning: This parameter specifies the level threshold for cell reselection in idle mode.
In idle mode, if the signal level of the serving cell is below [0, 6] or above [8, 14], the
MS starts to search for 3G cells. For example, if this parameter is set to 5 and if the
signal level of the serving cell is lower than 5, the MS starts to search for 3G cells; if
this parameter is set to 10 and if the signal level of the serving cell is above 10, then
the MS starts to search for 3G cells.
The values of this parameter correspond to the following decibel values:
0: -98 dBm; 1: -94 dBm; 2: -90 dBm; 3: -86 dBm; 4: -82 dBm; 5: -78 dBm; 6: -74

Recommended Value: 15
FDD Q Offset (FDDQOFF)
Meaning: This parameter specifies one of the thresholds of the signal level for 3G cell
reselection.
0: - (always select a cell if acceptable); 1: -28 dB, 2: -24 dB, ... 15: 28 dB.
GUI Value Range: 0~15 Recommended Value: 8 (0dB)

FDD RSCP Min. (FDDRSCPMIN)

Meaning: Minimum level threshold of UTRAN cell reselection. During the cell
reselection decision from a GSM cell to a FDD cell, this parameter is used to calculate
the RSCP threshold of the target cell.
0 = -114 dBm, 1 = -112 dBm, 2 = -110 dBm, ...14 = -86 dBm, 15 = -84 dBm.
GUI Value Range: 0~15 Actual Value Range: -114~-84
Recommended Value: 6(-102dBm)

Meaning: This parameter specifies one of the parameters for FDD cell reselection.
Actual Value Range: -20dB, -6dB, -18dB, -8dB, -16dB, -10dB, -14dB, -12dB
FDD Qmin Offset (FDDQMINOFFSET)
Meaning: Offset of the minimum threshold for Ec/No during a FDD cell reselection.
GUI Value Range: 0~7 Unit: dB Recommended Value: 0


This function is introduced in 3GPP Release8.

MSs in a GSM cell obtain the neighboring WCDMA cell list and cell reselection priorities from
SI2quater, and then measure neighboring WCDMA cells according to the list and priorities.
MSs in idle and packet transfer modes use the same GSM-to-WCDMA NC0/NC1 cell
reselection mechanism.
GSM/WCDMA/LTE triple-mode MSs always support priority-based GSM-to-WCDMA cell
reselection. GSM/WCDMA dual-mode MSs support priority-based GSM-to-WCDMA cell
reselection only in given scenarios. The support for priority-based inter-RAT cell reselection is
bidirectional. This means that if an MS supports priority-based cell reselection from GSM to
WCDMA, the MS also supports priority-based cell reselection from WCDMA to GSM, and vice
versa.

The MS selects the neighboring WCDMA cell with the highest priority. If multiple cells have
the highest priority, the MS selects the cell with the highest RSCP from these cells.
When UTRANPRI is greater than GERANPRI, and THRUTRANHIGH is small, the condition
for priority-based GSM-to-WCDMA cell reselection is easy to meet. In this case, there is a
decrease in the number of MSs that camp on GSM cells.

The Ec/No condition is added from 3GPP 45.008 V8.2.0.

GERAN Priority (GERANPRI)

Meaning: Priority of GERAN. Value 0 indicates the lowest priority, and value 7
indicates the highest priority.
GUI Value Range: 0~7 Recommended Value: 7
Parameter Relationship: GERAN priority must be different from both UTRANPRI and
EUTRANPRI.
UTRAN Priority (UTRANPRI)
Meaning: Priority of UTRAN. Value 0 indicates the lowest priority, and value 7
indicates the highest priority.
Parameter Relationship: UTRAN priority must be different from both GERANPRI and
EUTRANPRI.
Inter-RAT Search THD Based on Priority (THRPRISEARCH)
Meaning: When the receive level of the serving cell is higher than the value of this
parameter, the MS does not search for neighboring cells in UTRAN or EUTRAN whose
priority is lower than the GERAN priority.
0: -98 dBm, 1: -95 dBm, 2: -92 dBm, ..., 13: -59 dBm, 14: -56 dBm, 15: (always), that
is, the MS always searches for neighboring cells in UTRAN or EUTRAN whose priority
is lower than the GERAN priority.

Low GSM Threshold Based on Priority (THRGSMLOW)

Meaning: If the receive levels of the serving cell and all neighboring GSM cells are
lower than the value of this parameter, the MS is allowed to reselect a neighboring
cell in UTRAN or EUTRAN whose priority is lower than the GERAN priority.
0: -100 dBm, 1: -98 dBm, 2: -96 dBm, ..., 13: -74 dBm, 14: -72 dBm, 15: (always),
that is, the MS is always allowed to reselect a neighboring cell in UTRAN or EUTRAN
whose priority is lower than the GERAN priority.
UTRAN Cell Resel High THD Based on PRI (THRUTRANHIGH)
Meaning: If the measured RSCP value of one or more neighboring UTRAN cells is
higher than the value of this parameter, the MS is allowed to reselect a neighboring
cell in UTRAN whose priority is higher than the GERAN priority.
GUI Value Range: 0~31 (0~62dB, step is 2dB)
Recommended Value: 20 (40dB)
UTRAN Cell Resel Low THD Based on PRI (THRUTRANLOW)
Meaning: If the receive levels of the serving cell and all neighboring GSM cells are
lower than Low GSM Threshold Based on Priority, and if the measured RSCP value
of one or more neighboring UTRAN cells is higher than the value of this parameter,
the MS is allowed to reselect a neighboring cell in UTRAN whose priority is lower than
the GERAN priority.
GUI Value Range: 0~31 (0~62dB, step is 2dB)
Recommended Value: 20 (40dB)
Min RX Level of UTRAN Cell Based on PRI (UTRANQRXLEVMIN)
Meaning: Used to calculate the RSCP threshold for the target cell when a priority-
based decision to perform GSM to UTRAN cell reselection is made.
GUI Value Range: 0~31(-119~-57dBm, step is 2dB)
Recommended Value: 9 (-101dBm)
Cell Resel Level Hyst Based on PRI (HPRIO)
Meaning: The MS is allowed to reselect a neighboring cell in UTRAN or EUTRAN
whose priority is lower than the GERAN priority when all the conditions are fulfilled.
0: positive infinity, 1: 5 dB ,2: 4 dB ,3: 3 dB.
Cell Resel Time Hyst Based on PRI (TRESEL)
Meaning: Period during which the measured RSCP (or RSRP) value must meet the cell
reselection condition when a priority-based decision to perform a GSM to UTRAN (or
EUTRAN) cell reselection is made.
The values of this parameter correspond to the following time values:
0: 5s, 1: 10s, 2: 15s, 3: 20s.

Neighboring Cell Priority (NCELLPRI)

Meaning: Priority of the neighboring 3G cell. Value 0 indicates the lowest priority, and
value 7 indicates the highest priority. Value 255 is invalid.
GUI Value Range: 0~7, 255
Recommended Value: None
Parameter Relationship: If this parameter is not set to 255, all neighboring UTRAN
cells on the same frequency have the same NCELLPRI. The value of this parameter,
NCELLPRI of all neighboring 2G cells and neighboring EUTRAN cells, GERANPRI of
the serving cell, and EUTRANPRI of the serving cell must not be of the same value.


For the 2G/3G PS cell reselection, it should be bidirectional.

Qsearch P
Meaning: This parameter specifies one threshold of the signal level for cell reselection
in packet transfer mode. In packet transfer mode, if the signal level of the serving cell
is below [0, 7] or above [8, 15], the MS starts to search for 3G cells. For example, if
this parameter is set to 5 and if the signal level of the serving cell is lower than 5, the
MS starts to search for 3G cells; if this parameter is set to 10 and if the signal level of
the serving cell is above 10, then the MS starts to search for 3G cells. The values of
this parameter correspond to the following decibel values: 0: -98 dBm 1: -94 dBm ...
6: -74 dBm 7: (always) 8: -78 dBm 9: -74 dBm ... 14: -54 dBm
Actual Value Range: -98, -94, -90, -86, -82, -78, -74, (always), -78, -74, -70, -66, -62,
-58, -54, Positive infinity(never)

This function requires the MS supporting 3GPP R6.

When an MS terminates a call in the GSM network, it camps on the cell in which the call is
released and then starts neighboring cell measurement. When a neighboring WCDMA cell
meets the requirements for cell reselection, the MS reselects the WCDMA cell. The WCDMA
cell reselection is initiated after the MS receives the system information and performs the
related calculation.
When the feature Fast WCDMA Reselection at 2G CS Call Release is activated, the BSS selects
the best neighboring WCDMA cell based on the measurement information (from MR) after
the MS in a GSM cell terminates a CS call. Then, the BSS sends the MS the cell information
through the Channel Release message, instructing the MS to camp on that WCDMA cell. With
this feature, an MS can camp on a WCDMA cell without performing cell reselection decisions,
accelerating cell reselection. This feature allows the MS to camp on the WCDMA cell for a
longer period. In addition, the number of location area updates is reduced, and the paging
success rate is increased, increasing the revenue of operators in the WCDMA network.
This feature is activated after CELLSELECTAFTERCALLREL is set to YES.
This feature is coupled with inter-RAT handover for GBSS13.0 and earlier version. And this
coupling relationship will be released from GBSS14.0.

After an MS in a GSM cell releases a CS call, the BSC sends the MS a Channel Release
message that carries the IE "Cell selection indicator after release of all TCH and SDCCH". This
IE carries the neighboring WCDMA cell information, facilitating the MS to reselect a WCDMA
cell. This feature needs the support of both the network and the MS.
1. After receiving a Release Complete message from the MS, the MSC sends a Clear
Command message to the BSC, instructing the BSC to release the occupied resources
on the A and Um interfaces.
2. The BSC sends a Channel Release message to the MS, instructing the MS to release
the TCH or SDCCH on the Um interface. The Channel Release message may carry the
IE "Cell selection indicator after release of all TCH and SDCCH", which contains the
information about the target neighboring WCDMA cell.
If... Then...
The information about neighboring WCDMA The BSC carries the information (including
cells is carried in the measurement report FDD-ARFCN and
FDD_CELL_INFORMATION) about the best
neighboring WCDMA cell in the Channel
Release message, instructing the MS to reselect
that neighboring WCDMA cell.
No neighboring WCDMA cell information is The BSC does not carry the IE "Cell selection
carried in the measurement report or the value indicator after release of all TCH and SDCCH"
of CELLSELECTAFTERCALLREL is NO in the Channel Release message.

3. After receiving the Channel Release message, the MS releases the main signaling
link. Then, the MS sends a DISC frame to the BTS, instructing the BTS to release the
TCH or SDCCH.
4. After receiving an Unnumbered Acknowledgement message, the MS switches to
idle mode and initiates cell reselection based on the IE "Cell selection indicator after
release of all TCH and SDCCH".
If... Then...
The Channel Release message contains the The MS attempts to camp on the cell
information element "Cell selection indicated in the Channel Release message.

SDCCH",
The Channel Release message does not The MS attempts to camp on the cell where
contain the information element "Cell the TCH or SDCCH is already released.
selection indicator after release of all TCH
and SDCCH",
5. If step 4 fails, the MS performs a normal cell reselection procedure to camp on any
appropriate cells.

Select 3G Cell After Call Release (CELLSELECTAFTERCALLREL)

Meaning: This parameter specifies whether to allow a mobile phone to preferentially
camp on a 3G cell after a call is terminated in the areas covered by both the GSM
network and the UMTS network.
Impact on Network Performance: This feature only applies to the areas covered by
both the GSM network and the UMTS network. The UMTS network is preferentially
used to perform the data services, and the GSM network is preferentially used to
perform the speech services. When a user is handed over to the GSM network during
a call, the user must return to the UMTS network immediately after the call is
complete. Thus, a location update is avoided.


NC2 cell reselection can be performed for inter-RAT cell reselection only when an MS is in
packet transfer mode.
NC2 cell reselection between GSM and WCDMA refers to the network-controlled cell
reselection from GSM to WCDMA triggered by a BSC.
NC2 cell reselection is activated after the NCO parameter is set to NC2,and NC2SPT
parameter is set to Yes.

QP is the threshold for an MS in PS mode to search for WCDMA cells. If the level of the
serving GSM cell is lower than the value of QP (when QP is within the range of 0 to 6) or
higher than the value of QP (when QP is within the range of 8 to 14), the MS starts to search
for WCDMA cells.
FDDFREQCNUM is the number of WCDMA cells that should be contained in the best cell list,
which is carried in the measurement report from an MS.
FDDCELLOFF is the receive level offset for WCDMA cells. During the ranking of measured
neighboring cells, the value of this parameter is added to the receive level of measured
WCDMA cells.
FDDCELLTHRED is the threshold for reporting a WCDMA cell. The MS reports only the cells
whose RSCP is greater than this threshold.

1. An MS in the GPRS Mobility Management (GMM) Ready state periodically sends Packet
Measurement Report messages or Packet Enhanced Measurement Report messages to the
BSC. These measurement reports contain the RSCP of neighboring WCDMA cells.
2. After receiving a packet measurement report, the BSC processes the measurement results.
Then, the BSC determines whether to perform a cell reselection.
3. If the BSC determines to initiate a cell reselection, it sends the Packet Cell Change Order
message to the MS to instruct the MS to reselect the specified target WCDMA cell. Target cell
reselection is based on the NC2 cell reselection algorithm.
4. If a cell reselection fails, the MS sends the Packet Cell Change Failure message to the BSC.
After receiving this message, the BSC subtracts PENALTYRXLEV from the receive level of the
target cell. If the receive level of the target cell is less than PENALTYRXLEV, the BSC sets the
receive level of the target cell to 0.
5. The NC2 cell reselection algorithms include the service-based NC2 cell reselection
algorithm, quality-based NC2 cell reselection algorithm, load-based NC2 cell reselection
algorithm, RAT-based NC2 cell reselection algorithm, and neighboring cell priority-based NC2
cell reselection algorithm.

Network Control Mode (NCO)

Meaning: Network control mode for cell reselection of the MS. There are three
modes. NC0: normal MS control. The MS shall perform autonomous cell re-selection.
NC1: MS control with measurement reports. The MS shall send measurement reports
to the network and the MS shall perform autonomous cell re-selection. NC2: network
control. The MS shall send measurement reports to the network. The MS shall only
perform autonomous cell re-selection when the reselection is triggered by a downlink
signaling failure or a random access failure. When this parameter is set to NC2 and
Support NC2 in SET GCELLGPRS is set to "YES", the network side can control the
cell reselection for the MS.
GUI Value Range: NC0(NC0), NC1(NC1), NC2(NC2)
Recommended Value: NC0

Support NC2 (NC2SPT)

Meaning: Whether to support the network control 2 (NC2). The NC2 enables the
network side to control the cell reselection for the MS when the MS reports the
measurement report of the local cell and the neighboring cell. When this parameter is
set to "YES" and Network Control Mode in SET GCELLPSBASE is set to "NC2", the
network side can control the cell reselection for the MS.
Recommended Value: None

FDD Multirate Reporting (FDDFREQCNUM)

Meaning: Number of UTRAN FDD cells that should be included in measurement report
FDD Reporting Offset (FDDCELLOFF)
Meaning: Offset of a FDD cell report.
GUI Value Range: 0~7(0~42dB, step is 6dB)
FDD Reporting Threshold (FDDCELLTHRED)
Meaning: Threshold of a FDD cell report.When the receive level value in the
measurement report of a 3G cell exceeds the value of this parameter, the
measurement report takes effect. After the valid measurement report is filtered, the
3G cell joins the cell priority sequence.
GUI Value Range: 0~6(0~36dB), 7: positive infinity

Cell Penalty Level (PENALTYRXLEV)

Meaning: When the cell reselection failure message is received or the load cell
reselection is initiated, the Cell Penalty Level is subtracted from the receive level of the
target cell to avoid that cell reselection failure occurs repeatedly or that multiple MSs
are reselected to the same target cell. This parameter is valid only within Cell Penalty
Duration.
GUI Value Range: 0~63 Unit: dB Recommended Value: 30
Cell Penalty Duration (PENALTYLASTTM)
Meaning: Penalty duration for cell reselection. Cell penalty can be performed only in
this duration. When this parameter is set to a greater value, the MS cannot reselect a
cell for a longer time in the case of reselection failure or reselection due to load. The
penalty timer is shorter when this parameter is set to a smaller value.
GUI Value Range: 0~255 Unit: s Recommended Value: 10


The service-based NC2 cell reselection is activated when TrafficReselAllow is set to

PERMIT.
The BSC may find the IE "Service UTRAN CCO" in multiple DL-UNITDATA PDUs, CREATE-BSS-
PFC PDUs, or PS-HANDOVER-REQUEST PDUs sent from the SGSN. The BSS considers that the
last received IE "Service UTRAN CCO" is of the highest priority. The IE "Service UTRAN CCO"
carries Service UTRAN CCO Value part, which indicates the most suitable RAT for the
current service.

Then, the highest level candidate cell within the highest priority cells is selected as the target
cell. If a neighboring WCDMA cell is selected, the NC2 cell reselection from GSM to WCDMA
is triggered.
The quality-based NC2 cell reselection is activated when URGENTRESELALLOW is set to
PERMIT.
When the conditions for triggering a service-based NC2 cell reselection are not met, the BSC
determines whether to initiate a cell reselection based on the receive quality of the radio link
on the Um interface. The measurement reports or Bit Error Rate (BER) indicates the receive
quality on the radio link and the number of times bad radio link quality occurs.
MS receive quality deterioration ratio = Times of bad radio link quality/Number of radio link
quality measurement reports

The load-based NC2 cell reselection algorithm is activated when LOADRESELALLOW is set to
PERMIT.
When neither the conditions for initiating a service-based NC2 cell reselection nor the
conditions for initiating a quality-based NC2 cell reselection are met, a load-based NC2 cell
reselection is initiated to balance the load among the cells in the network. In load-based NC2
cell reselection, some MSs in cells with heavy load are reselected to cells with light load. In
addition, the MSs in neighboring cells should not be reselected to these heavily-loaded cells.
In load-based NC2 cell reselection, the cell with the highest priority is selected as the target
cell from the candidate GSM cells. The priority of a cell is determined by its receive level and
characteristics information such as cell type, cell priority, and support for EDGE. Alternatively,
the candidate WCDMA cell with the highest receive level is selected as the target cell. If
NC2LoadResel is set to Support, the characteristics information about a cell also includes
the load of GSM candidate cells under the same BSC.
cell. If a neighboring WCDMA cell is selected, the NC2 cell reselection from GSM to WCDMA
is triggered.

Coverage-based NC2 cell reselection is activated when NORMALRESELALLOW is set to

PERMIT.
When none of the conditions for initiating a service-based, quality-based, and load-based
NC2 cell reselection are met and the P/N criterion for initiating a coverage-based NC2 cell
reselection is met, a coverage-based NC2 cell reselection is initiated.
cell. If a neighboring WCDMA cell is selected, a NC2 cell reselection from GSM to WCDMA is
triggered.

The priority of neighboring GSM cells must be different from that of neighboring WCDMA
cells.
If the priority of GSM is higher than that of WCDMA, then a neighboring GSM cell is
preferentially selected as a candidate cell. If the priority of WCDMA is higher than that of
GSM, then a neighboring WCDMA cell is preferentially selected as a candidate cell.

The priority of neighboring GSM cells must be different from the priority of neighboring
WCDMA cells.
Neighboring cells with the highest priority are selected as candidate cells.

Cell Reselection Level Threshold (MINACCRXLEV)

Meaning: Minimum receive level for a neighbor cell to become a candidate cell during
cell reselection. When the receive level of the serving cell is lower than the value of
this parameter, it indicates that the normal cell reselection level is bad. In this case,
the parameter value is used for the calculation of the times of the occurrence of bad
normal cell reselection level.
GUI Value Range: 0~63 (-110~-47dBm) Recommended Value: 15
Cell Reselection Hysteresis (RESELHYST)
Meaning: Indicating that during cell reselection, the level of the target cell should
meet the following condition: Level of target cell > [MAX (level of serving cell, Cell
Reselection Level Threshold) + Cell Reselection Hysteresis]. In this way, ping-
pong handovers do not occur.
GUI Value Range: 0~63dB Recommended Value: 6

Meaning: The number of times that the downlink transmission quality of the MS is
lower than the transmission quality threshold of the MS (EDGE GMSK Quality
Threshold, EDGE 8PSK Quality Threshold, or GPRS Quality Threshold by TBF
type) is calculated accumulatively. When the rate of the accumulated value to the
number of received measurement reports on the downlink transmission quality
(Packet Downlink Ack/Nack message) is greater than or equal to the value of this
parameter, the emergency reselection is triggered.
GUI Value Range: 0~100% Recommended Value: 30

and NC2 Load Reselection Switch is set to Support, the load of the target cell is
involved in the algorithm for NC2 cell reselection.
Cell Normal Reselection Allowed (NORMALRESELALLOW)
Meaning: Whether to allow the cell normal reselection.
Normal Cell Reselection Watch Period (RESELWATCHPERIOD)
Meaning: The number of received Packet Measurement Report messages on the
receive level of the serving cell is measured continuously. When the statistical value is
greater than or equal to the value of this parameter, the normal reselection decision is
made.
Normal Cell Reselection Worsen Level Threshold (RESELWORSENLEVTHRSH)
Meaning: If the number of times when the receive level of the serving cell within
Normal Cell Reselection Watch Period is lower than Cell Reselection Level
Threshold is greater than the value of this parameter, the normal cell reselection is
triggered.
EDGE GMSK Quality Threshold (EDGE GMSK Quality Threshold)
Meaning: Used for EDGE GMSK transmission quality statistics. If MEAN_BEP is less
than or equals to this threshold, the transmission quality is regarded deteriorated.
MEAN_BEP indicates the average error code rate in one measurement report period.

EDGE 8PSK Quality Threshold (EGPRSBEPLIMIT8PSK)

Meaning: Used for EDGE 8PSK transmission quality statistics. If MEAN_BEP is less than
or equals to this threshold, the transmission quality is regarded to be deteriorated.
MEAN_BEP indicates the average error code rate in one measurement report period.
GPRS Quality Threshold (GPRSRXQUALLIMIT)
