Background
Handover decisions are based to measurements on neighboring cells, performed by the Mobile Station (MS) in active mode.
A list of frequencies, the active mode BCCH Allocation (BA) list, is throughout a call repeatedly sent to the MSs on the Slow Associated Control Channel (SACCH). The MS measures signal strength and tries to decode the Base Station Identity Code (BSIC) on each frequency in the list. The six strongest of the frequencies for which the BSIC was decoded successfully are reported back to the system in a Measurement Report. Such a report is sent on the SACCH (uplink) once every 480 ms.

Why NCS?
Gives the operator the support needed for optimizing cell relation data in the network in minim effort. Needs for improvements can easily be identified Decision support is given Cells can be removed/added from/to the BA-list easily Cell relation data is optimized

Neighboring Cell Support is operated from OSS. OSS initiates the Base Station Controller (BSC) function Active BA List Recording according to the users settings. The activities in Neighboring Cell Support can be divided into four parts: 1 the recording configuration, when the user schedules a recording, 2 the recording procedure, when the system carries out the activities specified in the recording configuration, 3 the recording evaluation, when the user requests a presentation of recording data. 4 the creation of change orders, when the user exports a change order to a planned area in CNA.

Recording Configuration
The recording configuration consists of: A cell set, defining where to record. A cell set may contain cells from more than one BSC. A list of test frequencies, called a frequency set, specifying what frequencies to add to the active mode BA lists. A time schedule that defines when recordings should be made. A relative signal strength threshold. An absolute signal strength threshold. The length of recording segments

The maximum number of test frequencies that may be added to the active mode BA lists at one time.

Recording Configuration
The relative signal strength threshold is related to a counter that is incremented every time SS f,BSIC > SS serv + 7 rel is fulfilled. The absolute signal strength threshold is related to a counter that 7 abs f,BSIC during the recording is incremented every time SS > is fulfilled.

Recording Procedure
During a recording, some general data is logged: total recording time total number of Measurement Reports received average signal strength of serving cell (downlink)

Recording Procedure
The following data is recorded for each combination of frequency and BSIC: number of times the combination occurred in Measurement Reports average signal strength of all occurrences number of times it was reported above the signal strength of serving cell plus the relative signal strength threshold number of times it was reported above the absolute threshold number of times it was the only one in the Measurement Report number of times it was reported as the strongest, second strongest, etc. up to sixth strongest frequency/BSIC
