Foreword
Once the MS is powered on and the mobile network is existed, the MS
will be either in idle mode or dedicated mode.
When the MS is in idle mode, there is no dedicated connection with
network, but the MS is still controlled by the parameters and functions
in the system.
The MS behaviors in idle mode is including:
System information reception
Cell selection and reselection
Location update
Paging processing
Access processing.
There are some other parameters to be introduced which is related
with the future processing of network access.

System Information Reception
By reading system information, MS can access the network, perform
cell selection and reselection, fully utilize various services provided by
the network, and achieve favorable cooperation with the network.
System information (SYS INFO) contains network parameters sent to
MS through Um interface
network identity parameters
cell selection parameters
system control parameters
network function parameters
System information can be sent through two kinds of logical channels
System information on BCCH
System information on SACCH

SYS INFO 2
SYS INFO 2
It contains access control information (RACH), network color code
permitted (NCC Permitted), and neighbor cell frequency allocation list (BA1
list). It is transmitted on BCCH. Generally speaking, SYS INFO 2, 2BIS, 2TER
contains different parts of the neighbor cells BCCH frequencies. Via
reading and decoding BA1 list, MS can perform cell reselection in idle
mode. For a MS of GSM900 PHASE I, it only reads the neighbor cell BCCH
frequencies defined in SYS INFO 2, and ignores those carried by 2BIS and
2TER.

PLMN Selection Parameter
CGI=MCC+MNC+LAC+CI
Once MS receives SYS INFO, it decodes the CGI information, and
decides whether it can stay in the cell according to the MCC and
MNC indicated by CGI.
At the same time, it judges whether the current location area is
changed, so as to decide whether to execute location update.
During the location update process, MS will report the new LAI
to the network, so that the network can know the LA in which
MS is currently located.

Cell Selection Parameter
C1 indicates the path loss criterion of cell selection.
C1 of the serving cell must be greater than 0. It is calculated as follows:
C1 = RXLEV - RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN - MAX((MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH -
P), 0)
In the case of a DCS1800 class 3 MS, C1 is calculated as follows:
C1 = RXLEV - RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN - MAX((MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH + POWER_OFFSET - P), 0)
Page22
RXLEV indicates the average receive level of the MS
RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN indicates the minimum receive level required for the MS to access
the network.
MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH indicates the maximum transmit power allowed for the MS to
access the network.
POWER_OFFSET indicates PWRDIV of the MS.
P indicates the maximum output power of the MS.

Cell Reselection
Under certain condition, MS will select a neighbor cell as
new serving cell, this procedure is called cell reselection.
The possible neighbor cells information in idle mode are
held in BA1 table, which will be broadcasted to MS via
BCCH.
For dedicated mode, neighbor cells information are held in
BA2 table, which will be broadcasted to MS via SACCH.

SACCH Multi-Frames
Parameter ID: SAMULFRM
Value Range: 0~63
Unit: SACCH period (480ms)
Default Value: 32
Description: It is a timer used to determine whether the uplink radio link
connection fails. BSS judges the uplink radio link failure according to uplink
SACCH BER.
Every time BTS fails to decode the MR sent from MS, this timer decreases by 1;
Every time BTS succeeds to decode the MR, this timer increases by 2.
When this timer reaches 0, BTS judges that the uplink radio connection fails, then BTS
sends a radio connection failure message to BSC.
This parameter and the radio link timeout (RLT) are used to judge the uplink/downlink
radio connection failure.

SACCH Multi-Frames
To increase the robustness of the SACCH channel, to improve the AMR
network coverage performance, and to lower the call drop rate, in
practice the AMR FR/HR SACCH Multi-Frames should be set higher.

T200
Parameter ID: T200
Value Range: 60~2400 (step: 10)
Unit: ms
Default Value: 12
Description: T200 timer (LAPD protocol) is used to avoid deadlock during data
transfer on the data link layer. The value of the timer indicates the time when the
LAPD link waits for the response or acknowledgement frame after sending the
command frame.
On the LAPDm layer, every time a message is sent, the opposite end is
requested to acknowledge the reception. If this message is lost for unknown
reasons, it will occur that both ends keep waiting, leading to system deadlock.
Therefore, a timer should be started when the sender sends a message. If the
timer times out, the sender will regard that the receiver has not received the
message and will resend the message.

Description: the value of this parameter specifies the maximum number of times

Different timer values should be set for different LAPDm channels such as
SDCCH, FACCH and SACCH. This is because these channels have different
transmission rate.

Network Identity Parameter BSIC
BSIC=NCC+BCC
In GSM system, each BTS is allocated with a color code, which is
called BSIC. MS can identify two cells with the same BCCH by
the help of BSIC.
In network planning, make sure that BCCH of neighbor cells are
different from the serving cells BCCH to reduce the interference.
Practically it is still possible that a same BCCH is re-used in the
surrounding cells. For cells using the same BCCH in a relevant
near distance, their BSIC must be different so that MS can
identify two neighbor cells with same BCCH.

Unit: Times
Default Value :30
Description: Maximum times for a Physical Information message to
be transmitted. When the retransmission times exceeds this
parameter and the BTS still cannot receive any correct SAMB frame
from the MS, the BTS sends a connection failure message (including
the handover failure information) to the BSC, which releases the
assigned channel and stops timer T3105 after receiving this
message.

Interference Calculation Period
Parameter ID: INTERPERIOD
Value range: 1~31
Unit: SACCH period (480 ms)
Default Values: 20
Description: Before the BTS transmits the radio resource indication
message to the BSC, the interference levels measured on idle channels
in the period defined by this parameter are averaged. The average
interference level is used to classify the interference levels on idle
channels into five interference bands. A too big value of this parameter
cannot reflect the change of interference. A too small value of this
parameter wastes the resources.

DTX switch in the MSC. If downlink DTX is forbidden in the MSC,
downlink DTX is not used regardless of the setting of this
parameter. If downlink DTX is allowed in the MSC, the setting of
this parameter can determine whether downlink DTX is used in
