Temporary Offset 1 is an offset value which is used in the cell ranking when the GSM neighbour
cell has the same HCS priority level as the serving cell. If the GSM neighbour cell has different
HCS priority level, the offset value is applied for the HCS cell re-selection. The offset is
subtracted (during Penalty Time) from the GSM Carrier RSSI of the neighbouring cell. The offset
is controlled with the RNP parameter AdjgTempOffset1. This IE is absent if Penalty Time is 0 or
if HCS is not used.

Qrxlevmin the minimum required RSCP (dBm) value in the GSM neighbour cell. The IE is
controlled with the RNP parameter AdjgQrxlevMin. This IE is absent if Qrxlevmin is the same for
serving cell and GSM neighbour cell (HOPG - AdjgQrxlevMin equals to WCEL QqualMin).

Base Station Identity Code (BSIC) which is composed of Network Colour Code (NCC) and Base
Station Colour Code (BCC). The IE is controlled with the RNP parameters AdjgNCC and AdjgBCC.

Band Indicator indicates how to interpret the BCCH ARFCN. The IE is controlled with the RNP
parameter AdjgBandIndicator.

BCCH Frequency contains the absolute RF channel number of the Broadcast Control Channel
(BCCH) of the GSM neighbour cell. The information element is controlled with the RNP parameter
AdjgBCCH.

2.36.2.8 Inter-system measurement system information for SIB block type 12

Inter-RAT cell removal shall have the value Remove all inter-RAT cells if one or more GSM neighbour
cells have different cell selection and re-selection parameters for idle mode and connected mode. If
there are no such GSM neighbour cells, the Inter-RAT cell info list IE shall not be included in the SIB
block type 12. Cell selection and re-selection parameters are the same for idle mode and connected
mode when the values of the ADJG parameters RtHopgIdentifier and NrtHopgIdentifier are the same, or
when all cell selection and re-selection parameters have the same values in the HOPG database objects
which are defined by the ADJG parameters RtHopgIdentifier and NrtHopgIdentifier.the handover path to
a single GSM neighbour cell is different for the RT and NRT traffic, that is, when the parameters
RtHopgIdentifier and NrtHopgIdentifier have different values even in one GSM neighbour cell (see
chapter GSM neighbour cell parameters for inter-RAT measurements). If there are no such GSM
neighbour cells, the information element Inter-RAT cell removal shall have the value Remove no interRAT cells.
New inter-RAT cells shall be included in the SIB block type 12 only if the information element Inter-RAT
cell removal did have the value Remove all inter-RAT cells. The IE structure contains a subset of all
inter-RAT (GSM) neighbour cells that have been defined for the serving cell in the RNC database object

ADJG (see chapter GSM neighbour cell parameters for inter-RAT measurements). The parameter
AdjgSIB determines whether an GSM neighbour cell is included in the system information block type 12.

Inter-RAT cell id shall not be sent in the system information message.

Cell Individual Offset is a value which is added to the measurement quantity of the neighbouring
cell before the UE compares the quantity with the reporting criteria. The value of the information
element is always 0 dB.

Cell selection and re-selection information is defined for the GSM neighbour cell in the RNC
database object HOPG (see chapter Parameters for inter-RAT cell re-selection and handover path)
determined by the parameter NrtHopgIdentifier.
-

Qoffset 1 is an offset value which is subtracted from the measured GSM carrier RSSI of the
neighbouring cell before the UE compares the quality measure with the cell re-selection/ranking
criteria. The offset is controlled with the RNP parameter AdjgQoffset1. This IE is absent if the
value of the IE is 0 (3GPP default value).

Maximum allowed UL TX power indicates the maximum transmission power level that an UE
may use when accessing the GSM neighbour cell on the RACH. The IE is controlled with the
RNP parameter AdjgTxPwrMaxRACH. In this case the parameter is defined in the ADJG
database object.

HCS Priority defines the prioriry level of the GSM neighbour cell in the hierarchical cell structure.
The IE is controlled with the RNP parameter AdjgHCSpriority. This IE is absent if the value of the
IE is 0 (3GPP default value) or if HCS is not used (WCEL- UseOfHCS is 0 (Not used)).

Qhcs defines the quality threshold level for applying prioritised hierarchical cell re-selection
procedure. The information element is controlled with the RNP parameter AdjgHCSthreshold.
This IE is absent if the value of the IE is 0 (3GPP default value) or if HCS is not used.

Penalty Time determines the time period during which the Temporary Offset 1 is applied for the
GSM neighbour cell in question. The IE is controlled with the RNP parameter AdjgPenaltyTime.
This IE is absent if the value of the IE is 0 or if HCS is not used.

Temporary Offset 1 is an offset value which is used in the cell ranking when the GSM neighbour
cell has the same HCS priority level as the serving cell. If the GSM neighbour cell has different
HCS priority level, the offset value is applied for the HCS cell re-selection. The offset is
subtracted (during Penalty Time) from the GSM Carrier RSSI of the neighbouring cell. The offset
is controlled with the RNP parameter AdjgTempOffset1. This IE is absent if Penalty Time is 0 or
if HCS is not used.

Qrxlevmin the minimum required RSCP (dBm) value in the GSM neighbour cell. The IE is
controlled with the RNP parameter AdjgQrxlevMin. This IE is absent if Qrxlevmin is the same for
serving cell and GSM neighbour cell (HOPG - AdjgQrxlevMin equals to WCEL QqualMin).

Base Station Identity Code (BSIC) which is composed of Network Colour Code (NCC) and Base
Station Colour Code (BCC). The IE is controlled with the RNP parameters AdjgNCC and AdjgBCC.

Band Indicator indicates how to interpret the BCCH ARFCN. The IE is controlled with the RNP
parameter AdjgBandIndicator.
