Cell Selection/Reselection
This parameter indicates the offset between the serving cell and the
neighboring cell in the event that the measure is CPICH RSCP. Cell
reselection follows the R rule, and the R value of the neighboring cell
is equal to the measured value subtracting the neighboring quality
offset. The parameter is determined depending on the situation
whether the specific scenario expects the reselection of the interfrequency cell as soon as possible. A larger parameter value indicates
that the neighboring cell is more impossible to be reselected as the
destination cell, and therefore cell reselection seldom happens. A
smaller parameter value is more likely to trigger cell reselection.
However, a larger value may result in poor quality of the local cell
Recommended
Configuration
and good quality of the neighboring cell. In this case, cell reselection
still will not happen.
In co-networking of UMTS and GSM, continuous coverage is
expected inside the UMTS network. Only when the UMTS network
covers edges, cell reselection from UMTS to GSM is required.
Therefore, in the suburbs with dense signals, you can increase
Qrxlevmin in SIB11 and Qoffset1-s, n in SIB11 (neighboring cell) to
improve the difficulty for cell reselection. As to the edges of the
UMTS network, especially a highway, the UE moves fast. In this
case, the signal of the UMTS cell quickly decreases. In case that the
UE goes into the GSM network coverage area but cell reselection still
does not happen. Therefore, you can increase Ssearch, RAT and
reduce Qrxlevmin in SIB11 and Qoffset1-s, n in SIB11 (neighboring
cell) to help the UE complete cell reselection as early as possible.

There are 2 modes for Downlinkinternal loop power control.
45
The 1st mode is internal loop power control for every time slot and the 2nd mode is
internal loop power control for every 3 time slots.

The parameter should be set in view of the environment of the
cell where the UE resides in, such as speed and fading. This
makes the UE trace the change of the channel condition even in

the system can maintain stable fluctuation of the power. Often,

the worse the channel condition, the greater the parameter value.
Configuration
Typically, you should use the default value. The outer loop
power control should follow the principle of quick increase and
slow decrease. Quick increase is to ensure that the system can
quickly keep up with the change of the environment. Slow
decrease avoids call drop or bad subscriber experience due to
the quick decrease of the target SIR.

Event 1A
Event 1A means that the quality of certain cell outside the active set gets better. The
related target cell can be added into the active set when receiving 1A event to improve
the gain of more macro diversities. UE will report 1A to RNC when the cell enters into

From the formula it can be seen that enlarging R1a (1A event meets the reporting range
of event quality standard) or decreasing H1a (lag range for judgement) can increase the
probability of 1A event. On the contrary, the probability of 1A event can be decreased.
1A event supports the periodical report. In other words, the 1A event will be reported
periodically (PrdRptInterval) until the event doesnt meet the report condition or the
reporting time reaches the allowable maximum value (PrdRptAmount) when UE

Event 1C
Event 1C means that the quality of certain cell outside the active set is better than the
quality of certain cell inside the active set. The related cell outside the active set can be
used to replace the cell inside the active set when receiving 1C event to get better
macro diversity. UE will report 1C to RNC when the cell meets the formula below.
68
4.
Event 1D
Event 1D means that the quality of certain cell inside the active set or outside the active
set is better than the quality of the best cell in the current active set. In other words, the
best cell of inter-frequency has changed. The soft adding (the reported 1D event of the
cell outside active set and the number of link inside the active dont reach maximum
value) and soft replacement (the reported 1D event of the cell outside active set and the
number of link inside the active reach maximum value) or the change of serving cell
(focusing on HS-DSCH/E-DCH channel) can be triggered when receiving 1D event.
UE will report 1D to RNC when the cell meets the formula below.
From the formula it can be seen that enlarging R1d (lag range for judgement) can
decrease the probability of 1D event. On the contrary, the probability of 1D event can
be increased.

measures and reports the event.

non-working carrier frequency is higher than a threshold. This event is used for the
determination of inter-frequency switch for RNC. The compression mode needs to be

Introduction to compression mode:
There are two methods for the generation of compression mode frame:
1.
Halving of SF
The halving of SF is fulfilled through enlarging the empty bandwidth of traffic. In this
way, part of the slot time in the same radio frame can be specially used for measuring
inter-frequency and intersystem and part of the slot time can be specially used for data
bit transmission. The transmission strategy of SF halving is generally used for the
traffic with high requirement for time delay and minimal guarantee demand for data
rate, such as the PS data traffic of CS and S.
2.
High-level scheduling
The substance of high-level scheduling is that the high-level regulates the rate of data
transmission. Part of the slot time in the same radio frame can be specially used for
measuring inter-frequency and intersystem and part of the slot time can be specially
used for data bit transmission on condition that the empty bandwidth doesnt change. It
is generally used for non-real-time traffic with low requirement for time delay, such as
the PS data traffic of I/B.
The GAP used for sending/receiving (measurement) can be placed in one radio frame
or between two radio frames when the compression mode is started. It is shown in the
figure below:
