Ranking of Candidate Cell
The candidate cell is ranked by the some rules. It is for both serving
cell and the neighbor cells.
The ranking processes include:
M rule: RX_LEV (n) > MSRXMIN(n) + OFFSET
K rule: Ranked in descending order according to the rx_lev only
16 bits ranking: The smaller the value is, the higher the priority

Advantage of Huawei II power control algorithm
HW II power control has the following advantages:
Measurement report compensation -- makes power control judgment
more precise

Measurement report prediction --to avoid power control later than
needed, the delay is dangerous in case of poor level or bad quality

Power control expected signal level and quality threshold falls within a
band, this avoids receiving signal level fluctuate up and down
frequently

Dynamic allocation of channel resource
PDCH

SDCCH
real line stand for real-time conversion
broken line stand for not real-time conversion
Huawei has good mechanism to
dynamic allocate the channel
resource.
Support dynamic allocation
between PDCH<->TCHH\F,
TCHF<->TCHH, TCHF<-
>SDCCH
Make the channel usage more efficient
All Rights Reserved 2007, Huawei Technologies CO., LTD. Page 22
Dynamic allocation of SDCCH
Approach
If SDCCH allows dynamic
allocation and satisfy the
following conditions:
Number of SDCCH <= idle SD
Thrsh
Number of existing SDCCH in
the cell < Cell SD Maximum;
Number of idle TCH is greater
than 4 or greater than the
number of configuration carriers.
Purpose
When the request of SDCCH in a cell suddenly increases, TCH can convert into
SDCCH so as to ensure that most of the users can access the network

All Rights Reserved 2007, Huawei Technologies CO., LTD. Page 23
Dynamic allocation between TCH & PDCH
Dynamic PDCH and PDTCH
When dynamic PDCH is not used for packet service, it equal
to TCH.

Packet service priority (PCU parameter)
This parameter determine the priority between PS and CS
channel allocation
For vip cell, set PS priority higher than CS to make the GPRS
service quality better:
Command: pcu set priv <LCNo> 2 120 2000 2400
All Rights Reserved 2007, Huawei Technologies CO., LTD. Page 24
Dynamic convert between TCHF & TCHH
TCH Traffic Thrsh(%)
During the allocation of the BSC channel, if the occupation rate of current
channel reaches or exceeds this threshold, the dual rate call is allocated with the
half rate channel preferentially. Otherwise, allocate full rate channel preferentially.
Enhanced Chan. Convert Enable
This parameter determines whether to allow the intra-cell handover to combine
the call on the two SINGLE timeslots into one Couple timeslot to covert the call
into TCHF when there is no idle TCHF for allocation.
Couple Channel
when one timeslot is divided into two TCHHs and the two TCHHs are idle. The
two TCHH are called Couple.
Single Channel
when one timeslot is divided into two TCHHs, and one TCHH is busy and the
other is idle. The idle one is called Single.
