Common BCCH

Benefits
Improved trucking gain,
(improve blocking
probability)
Reduced frequency used
Reduced number of cell,
reduced LAC, reduced
paging
Reduced neighboring
cells, improve
performance due to
decreased handover
Restrictions

BCCH on Comon BCCH system must be the same band throughout the whole network
There can be only 31 frequency in adjacent cell and BA list
Only 5 strongest neighbours are included in the adjacent cell measurement
Initial SDCCH channel for call setup is always allocated in the BCCH segment, since
FACCH setup take place as a response to an SDCCH allocation request, FACCH has
the same restriction as SDCCH
Dynamic SDCCH can be utilised only in the BCCH frequency band.

Parameter_1 (NBL)

DCS
GSM

NBL = NonBCCH Layer offset

Suggested value = 10
Parameter_2 (LAR)

DCS GSM

LAR = non BCCH layer access

threshold
Average_Rxlev_DL NBL >=
LAR
Parameter_3 (LER)

DCS GSM

LER = non BCCH layer Exit

threshold
Parameter_4(LSEG)
20 % 60 %

TCH allocation priority

Handover triggered
to DCS
80 %

Example :
BTSloadInseg GSM = 20
BTSloadInseg DCS = 80

BTSloadInseg + ( (100 BTSloadInseg ) / 2 ) = HO

triggered
Parameter_5 (extend SD)

ISS = guard time for attempting an SDCCH handover from the BCCH BTS resource layer to
another resource layer in a segment. (BSC level)

ESD = enable SDCCH handove (BTS level)
