Page 2: Commands for BSC

FUNCTIONCommand RXESI is used to bring managed objects into service from prepost service. Up to 32 managed objects can be specified. The managed objects must be defined, that is, in state DEF.The answer printout RADIO X-CEIVER ADMINISTRATION MANAGED OBJECT IN SERVICE COMMAND RESULT will be printed giving the result of the order for each of the managed object instances specified by the MO parameter.The result printout RADIO X-CEIVER ADMINISTRATION MANAGED OBJECT IN SERVICE RESULT will be printed for each managed object that received an ORDERED command result when the command is executed.The order in which the managed objects are brought into service in BTS Logical Model G01 is TG before the corresponding TRXC, TX and TF; and TRXC before the corresponding TS and RX.The order in which the managed objects are brought into service in BTS Logical Model G12 is TG before the corresponding CF; and CF before the corresponding IS, CON, TRXC, TF and DP; and TRXC before the corresponding RX, TX and TS.Once a managed object has been brought into service it will initially be manually blocked, that is, in state COM. An attempt is then made to load the managed object.The order remains after system restart.

RXBLE : Radio X-Ceiver Administration Manual Blocking Of Managed Object, End

RXBLE:MO=mo...;

PARAMETERSMO=mo Managed Object Instance

See Application Information for block RXCTA for the format and the value range of this parameter. All managed object classes are valid.

FUNCTIONThis command orders the manual deblocking of one or more managed object instances.Up to 32 managed object instances may be specified in one command.The answer printout, RADIO X-CEIVER ADMINISTRATION MANUAL DEBLOCKING OF MANAGED OBJECT COMMAND RESULT, will be printed, giving the result of the deblocking order for each of the managed object instances specified by the MO parameter.For each managed object instance that receives an 'ordered' command result, a subsequent result printout, RADIO X-CEIVER ADMINISTRATION MANUAL DEBLOCKING OF MANAGED OBJECT RESULT, will be given when the deblocking order is completed.If this managed object instance was the last manually blocked object in a transceiver groupthat was still in service, the observation alarm will be ceased.The order remains after system restart.

RXBLI : Radio X-Ceiver Administration Manual Blocking Of Managed Object, Initiate RXBLI:MO=mo...[,FORCE];PARAMETERSFORCE Forced blocking indication

MO=mo Managed object instance See Application Information for block RXCTA for the format and the value range of this parameter.All managed object classes are valid.

FUNCTIONThis command orders the manual blocking of one or more managed object instances. Up to 32 managed object instances may be specified in one command. The answer printout RADIO X-CEIVER ADMINISTRATION MANUAL BLOCKING OF MANAGED OBJECT COMMAND RESULT will be printed, giving the result of the blocking order for each of the managed object instances specified by the MO parameter. For each managed object instance that receives an 'ordered' command result, a subsequent result printout RADIO X-CEIVER ADMINISTRATION MANUAL BLOCKING OF MANAGED OBJECT RESULT will be given when the blocking order is completed.

Page 3: Commands for BSC

If the FORCE parameter is given, the blocking order will be executed immediately, and the managed object instance will be taken out of operation. This will result in handover attempts for the traffic channels associated with each object. If the handover attempts fail this will result in the immediate termination of traffic associated with each object. If the FORCE parameter is not given, the blocking order will be handled in the following manner for each of the specified managed object instances: MO Class TS: Blocking of the managed object instance will be delayed until traffic it is carrying has terminated for other reasons. If the managed object instance is carrying a broadcast control channel, the blocking order will not be accepted. MO Class RX: The blocking order will fail if the managed object instance in question, is carrying a physical channel. MO Classes TX and TF: The blocking order will fail if the managed object instance in question is enabled. MO Class TRXC: The blocking order will fail if either the TRXC is currently carrying the TGC application for the Transceiver Group in BTS Logical Model G01, or within BTS Logical Model G12 the TRXC has subordinate TX objects that are enabled. MO Class IS, CON and DP: The blocking order is always successful. MO Class CF: The blocking order will fail if there are any subordinate TS objects that are enabled. MO Class TG: The blocking order will always fail. The FORCE parameter must be used to block a managed object instance of class TG. A successful blocking of a managed object instance will cancel all alarms due to faults in the equipment.If this object now becomes the first manually blocked object in the transceiver group that is still in service, an observation alarm will be issued. The order remains after system restart.

RXESE : RADIO X-CEIVER ADMINISTRATION MANAGED OBJECT IN SERVICE, END

RXESE:MO=mo...;PARAMETERSMO=mo Managed object instance

PARAMETERSCELL=cell Cell designation, maximum 7 characters. Symbolic name.CHGR=chgr Channel group. Numeral 0 - 15. ALL All channel groups within the cell. Default value is ALL.STATE=state State. ACTIVE The cell or channel group is active. HALTED The cell or channel group is halted.FUNCTIONThe command is used to change the state of a cell or channel group. When the command is executed, configuration of the cell or channel group will take place. A successful activation is immediate and gives the procedure printout EXECUTED. A command to halt if accepted gives the procedure printout ORDERED. The result printout CELL STATE CHANGE RESULT is received after the ordered halting is successful, which happens only when all channels in the cell or channel group(s) have been removed. Commands in block RCCA will not be accepted until the completion of an expected result printout. When activating, faultcodes are given if certain mandatory data, including locating data for overlaid subcells, have not been defined. Each channel group, or the cell to be activated, must be connected to a transceiver group, and have at least one frequency defined for it. Size alteration event 0 must be performed before activating a cell or channel group 0. It is allowed to order activation of all channel groups in a cell when some but not all of them are active already. Specific channel groups may be halted without halting the cell. The cell becomes halted when all channel groups within the cell have been halted. An observation alarm printout CELL RESTRICTION ACTIVATED is obtained when a previously active cell or channel group is set to state HALTED. The alarm is only set once per BSC, and it will remain as long as there is at least one previously active cell or channel group in state HALTED. The command is not valid for external cells, that is cells belonging to another BSC. The order remains after system restart.

RLMBC : Radio Control Cell, Short Message Service Cell Broadcast Text, Change

RLMBC:ID=id,CODE=code,GS=gs[,PAGE=page],TEXT=text...[,PNO=pno]; ParametersCODE=code Message code

The message code differentiates between messages from the same message identifier.Numeral 0 ~ 1023

GS=gs Geographical scope The geographical scope indicates the geographical area over which the message code is unique and the display mode. 0 Cell wide, default direct display1 Public land mobile network wide, default display under user interaction2 Location area wide, default display under user interaction 3 Cell wide, default direct display under user interaction

ID=id Message identifier The message identifier identifies the source and type of message. Numeral 0 ~ 65535

PAGE=page Page number This parameter indicates the page number in a multi-page message. The value must not be greater than that given for NUMPAGES in command RLMBI . The parameter is only optional for a single page message when it has the default value 1.Numeral 1 ~ 15

PNO=pno Package number This is used if there are more than 82 command characters in the page text, as this is the maximum number of command characters that can be entered with one command. For a longer page, the text is appended by using the command again. The package number indicates the current part of the message. 1 First part of the message, that is up to 82 MML or HEX command characters.2 Second part of the message, will be appended to package number 1. If the parameter PNO is omitted then this indicates that the message page is fully defined using the command only once.

TEXT=text Text in a message page The permitted command characters are determined by the value given for the parameter MODE in command RLMBI , or by its default value. If text is entered in MML format, characters permitted are alphanumeric characters and graphical characters. Permitted alphanumeric characters are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z Permitted graphical characters are: ! Exclamation mark" Quotation mark# Hash (number sign)$ Dollar sign% Percent sign& Ampersand

Page 10: Commands for BSC

' Apostrophe( Left parenthesis) Right parenthesis* Asterisk+ Plus sign, Comma- Hyphen. Full stop/ Slash: Colon; Semicolon< Less than sign= Equals to sign> Greater than sign? Question mark@ Commercial "at" The "space" character is also permitted. Four additional language specific characters from the GSM character set can also be used. For more details, see the Application Information for RCSMA . Each argument must be surrounded by quotation marks, if it contains non-alphanumeric characters, that is to say characters other than A - Z and 0 - 9. Quotation marks in the message text are entered twice in the string. If text is entered in HEX format, the permitted command characters are the ones representing hexadecimal numbers, that is 0, 1, 2,...9, A, B, C, D, E, F. Each character represents four bits in an octet of the message. Quotation marks are not needed.

FunctionThis command defines and changes the message text in a page of a Short Message Service Cell Broadcast (SMSCB) message. Text can be entered using the MML character set or it can be entered in hexadecimal mode, allowing the full GSM character set to be represented. In hexadecimal mode, when 8-bit encoding scheme is used, the text entered is not broadcast as 4-bit characters, but as octets (8 bits). That is, the first octet entered in the TEXT parameter is the first octet received by a mobile station. If a full message page text contains an odd number of hexadecimal characters, the last character is broadcast as the 4 least significant bits of the last octet. If the message coding is 7-bit, as specified by command RLMBI , then the text broadcast will only contain a whole number of GSM characters, that is an exact multiple of 7 bits. Unused text is padded with null characters which are in fact "carriage return" characters. The last 5 bits of the message text are always set to zero. If the message coding is 8-bit, as specified by command RLMBI , then the coding is user-defined. Unused text is padded with null characters which are "carriage return" characters. If an uneven number of HEX command characters is specified then the last character is ignored. This character will not be broadcast on the air-interface and will not be printed when command RLMBP is used to print the message text. Unused text is padded with null characters which are "carriage return" characters. If LANG is 17 or MCO is 16, as specified by command RLMBI , then the user character is Universal Multiple- Octet Coded Character. 16-bit encoding scheme is used. If a full message page text does not contain an even multiple of 4 number of command characters, then the last command characters that do not form a full 16-bit user character are truncated. Unused text is padded with null characters. If the text contains more than 41 command characters including delimiting quotations then the argument must be repeated. The argument may only be entered twice in one command. Each argument is appended onto the previously given part of the text. If the page text contains more than 82 command characters the command must be repeated with another package number (PNO). A maximum of 93 MML command characters or 164 HEX command characters can be entered for a message page. However, if LANG is 17, the message text shall then be entered starting with two 7-bit default alphabet character representation of the language encoded according to ISO 639. This is padded to the octet boundary with two bits set to 0 and then followed by a maximum of 160 HEX command characters (equals to 40 user characters for a message page) of UCS2-encoded message. If LANG is 16, as given by command RLMBI , 7-bit encoding is used. The message text shall then be entered starting with two 7-bit default alphabet character representation of the language

10

Page 11: Commands for BSC

encoded according to ISO 639, followed by a carriage return (CR) character. The CR character can then be followed by 90 7-bit characters of text.If the message coding is 7-bit, as given by command RLMBI , then the last 5 bits of the 82 octets of the message text are always set to zero by the BSC. The message is for sending on the Cell Broadcast Channel (CBCH) and its distribution is according to the time parameters specified in command RLMTI . PNO=1 interrupts broadcast until PNO=2 is defined. The order remains after system restart.

Examples

RLMBC:ID=35,CODE=44,GS=1,PAGE=12,TEXT=0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF012345671&0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF012345671,PNO=1;

RLMBC:ID=35,CODE=44,GS=1,PAGE=12,TEXT=0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF012345671&0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF012345678,PNO=2; The command sequence defines the message text data. The message identifier is 35. The message code is 44. The geographical scope of the message is 1. There are 12 pages in this message. The data is entered in HEX mode. Regarding the order of bits broadcast on the CBCH, in this example octet "01" is transmitted, then "23", "45", and so on, corresponding in time order to bits 1000 0000 1100 0100 1010 0010, and so on.

RLMBC:ID=78,CODE=300,GS=2,PAGE=2,TEXT="THE ""BROWN"" FOX JUMPED OVER THE LAZY "&"DOG!";

The command defines the message text data. The message identifier is 78. The message code is 300. The geographical scope of the message is 2. There are 2 pages in this message. The data is entered in MML mode. In the example the data occupies part of an SMSCB message and the remaining unused text is automatically filled with null characters. The text is read as follows: THE "BROWN" FOX JUMPED OVER THE LAZY DOG!

RLMBC:ID=78,CODE=303,GS=2,PAGE=1,TEXT=7A3454095DE56C59;

The command defines the message text data. The message identifier is 78. The message code is 303. The geographical scope of the message is 2. There is 1 pages in this message. The data is entered in HEX mode. In the example the data occupies part of an SMSCB message and the remaining unused text is automatically filled with Carriage Return (CR) characters. If RLMBI is given with LANG=17, the first four characters in this example, 7A34, are interpreted by the mobile station as the language code for Chinese characters. The next twelve HEX characters are translated into three Chinese characters, if the mobile is capable of Chinese character translation. A mobile station not supporting UCS2 coding will present the two character language identifiers followed by improperly interpreted user data.

RLMBC:ID=78,CODE=330,GS=2,PAGE=1,TEXT=657A03B;

The command defines the message text data. The message identifier is 78. The message code is 330. The geographical scope of the message is 2. There is 1 pages in this message. The data is entered in HEX mode. If RLMBI was given with LANG=16, the first three 7-bit characters in this example, are interpreted by the mobile station as the language code for Estonian followed by a Carriage Return (CR) character. A Pre-Phase 2+ mobile station will overwrite the start of the message up to the CR and present only the text.

UPDATE=update Update number

This parameter allows the operator to give an initial value to the update number for a message. The update number is automatically updated when the message text is changed.Numeral 0 ~ 15

Function

This command defines a Short Message Service Cell Broadcast (SMSCB) message, including the information which is to be broadcast as a message header. The command also connects cells to a previously defined message or to a new message. The message text is defined using the command RLMBC . Messages are broadcast on the Cell Broadcast Channel (CBCH). The parameters UPDATE, NUMPAGES, LANG, MCO, MCL, and MODE are defined the first time when RLMBI is used with a new combination of ID, CODE, and GS. The default values are used, if the parameters are not specified. Once these parameters have been set then it is not possible to alter them by a subsequent use of command RLMBI with the same combination of ID, CODE, and GS. The distribution period and rate for a message concerns all cells connected to it. It is possible to define up to 96 message pages in a cell. The maximum number of pages in a single message is 15. Thus a cell can for example be connected to 96 single messages, or six 15-pages messages and one 6-pages message. A cell cannot be connected to a message if there are not enough empty pages in the cell for all message pages. When LANG is 16, the parameter MODE defaults to HEX and value MML is not accepted to the parameter MODE. When LANG is 17, the parameter MODE defaults to HEX and value MML is not accepted to the parameter MODE. A mobile station not supporting UCS2 coding will present the two character language identifier followed by improperly interpreted user data. When MCO is 16, the parameter MODE defaults to HEX and value MML is not accepted to the parameter MODE. The translation from the user languages to HEX format according to ISO/IEC 10646-1 should be done before HEX characters are input in the command. Different mobile station models might have implemented different ways of interpreting the data coding scheme sent in the SMSCB message, represented by MCO=16 or LANG=17. Therefore, the definition of messages using UCS2 encoding can be done in the two ways described above. The parameters MCO and MCL exclude the parameter LANG. Default values for the following parameters are permanent exchange data: LANG, MCL, MCO, MODE, NUMPAGES , UPDATE. Default values are listed in the application information for block RCSCB . The command is not valid for external cells, that is cells belonging to another Base Station Controller (BSC). The order remains after system restart.

FunctionThis command defines broadcast times for a Short Message Service Cell Broadcast (SMSCB) message. The message is sent on the Cell Broadcast Channel (CBCH) with a specified repetition rate. The CBCH load for a cell is the sum of all the individual CBCH loads for broadcasting messages sent on the CBCH in that cell. The value of the CBCH load is printed by the command RLMTP . The broadcast times are removed when the message is deleted using command RLMBE . It is not possible to define a distribution period for a message if there is no cell connected to the message. If the distribution period for a message is over, then command RLMTI can be used to define a new set of distribution times for this message. In order to change the distribution period, or the repetition rate, the old period and rate must be deleted by command RLMTE and a new command RLMTI must be specified. The order remains after system restart.

Examples

RLMTI:ID=14,CODE=97,GS=0,SDATE=120715,STIME=2055,EDATE=120722,ETIME=2155,REP=30; This command gives broadcast times for the message with message identifier 14, message code 97 and geographical scope 0. The message will be distributed every 30 seconds from 20:55 2012-07-15 until 21:55 2012-07-22.

FunctionFormat 1This command format changes data in a cell. If the cell is an internal cell the command is only permitted if the cell state is HALTED. Note that the parameter AGBLK must be set to 1 or greater when short message service cell broadcast is in use, that is when the channel CBCH has been defined. By system default one SDCCH/8 without CBCH is provided in the cell if the BCCH frequency for the cell is defined and the type of BCCH is non-combined. The maximum range for the locating parameters MAXTA and TALIM are greater for an extended range cell than for a normal cell. When COMB and COMBC are not specified the default is a NCOMB BCCH. COMBC, COMB and NCOMB all refer to the type of BCCH. The command RAEPP and the Application Information for block ROEPC can be used to see how many digits mnc must have. Parameter NEWNAME is used to change the name of a cell. If the cell belongs to the current BSC, it may be defined as extended range if the feature extended range cell is available. The availability of this feature is dependent on commercial agreements. A cell with subcell structure can only be defined as extended range if the feature extended range cell (enhanced version) is available. The availability of this feature is dependent on commercial agreements. If a cell with subcell structure is changed from normal to extended range then the underlaid subcell will have extended range and the overlaid subcell will have normal range. A Timeslot Number (TN) value other than 0 or 2 is not valid for an extended range cell. It is not allowed to define an extended range cell when GPRS support is activated. If the cell system type is GSM 900, BCCHNO may be defined in the G1-band if the feature Support for Extended GSM 900 Frequency Band is available and defined in the UIC-band if the feature Support for

Page 25: Commands for BSC

Railways GSM 900 Frequency Band is available. The availability of these features is dependent on commercial agreements. The frequency bands G1 and UIC cannot be used by GSM Phase 1 mobiles. The BCCH carrier must be placed in the primary band if Phase 1 mobiles need to be supported by the cell. The frequency band UIC cannot be used by E-GSM (primary and G1-band) mobiles. The BCCH carrier must be placed in the primary or G1-band if only E-GSM mobiles should be supported. For cell system type GSM 900, if the BCCH is defined in an extended band and the range of the Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Numbers  (ARFCNs) in the cell exceeds 112 , the number of ARFCNs is restricted to 22. A channel group may consist of frequencies from different GSM bands. Changing the BCCHNO parameter is dependent on other frequencies in channel group 0. If the BCCH is defined in the primary band other frequencies in channel group 0 are only allowed in the primary band. If the BCCH is defined in the G1-band other frequencies in channel group 0 are only allowed in the primary and the G1-band. For cell system type GSM 1800 or GSM 1900 the number of ARFCNs are restricted to 18 if the range of ARFCNs in the cell exceeds 112. For details about the parameter default values in permanent exchange data see the Application Information for block RCCD . The current BTS version may have specific parameter restrictions. See "BTS parameter limitations" in OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL for current BTS version. The order remains after system restart.

Format 2This command format changes the parameter BCCHNO in a cell independent of the cell state. If the cell system type is GSM 900, BCCHNO may be defined in the G1-band if the feature Support for Extended GSM 900 Frequency Band is available and defined in the UIC-band if the feature Support for Railways GSM 900 Frequency Band is available. The availability of these features is dependent on commercial agreements. The frequency bands G1 and UIC cannot be used by GSM Phase 1 mobiles. The BCCH carrier must be placed in the primary band if Phase 1 mobiles need to be supported by the cell. The frequency band UIC cannot be used by E-GSM (primary and G1-band) mobiles. The BCCH carrier must be placed in the primary or G1-band if only E-GSM mobiles should be supported. For cell system type GSM 900, if the BCCH is defined in an extended band and the range of the Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Numbers  (ARFCNs) in the cell exceeds 112 , the number of ARFCNs is restricted to 22. A channel group may consist of frequencies from different GSM bands. Changing the BCCHNO parameter is dependent on other frequencies in channel group 0. If the BCCH is defined in the primary band other frequencies in channel group 0 are only allowed in the primary band. If the BCCH is defined in the G1-band other frequencies in channel group 0 are only allowed in the primary and the G1-band. If cell state is ACTIVE and GPRS support is active for the cell this applies to all frequencies in the cell and not only to frequencies in channel group 0. For cell system type GSM 1800 or GSM 1900 the number of ARFCNs are restricted to 18 if the range of ARFCNs in the cell exceeds 112. When the cellstate is ACTIVE and Active BA-List Recording is active for the cell, it is not possible to change the ARFCN for BCCH. For details about the parameter default values in permanent exchange data see the Application Information for block RCCD . The current BTS version may have specific parameter restrictions.

The command is not valid for external cells, that is cells belonging to another BSC. The order remains after system restart.

RLDGI : Radio Control Cell, Definition of Channel Group, Initiate

RLDGI:CELL=cell,CHGR=chgr...[,SCTYPE=sctype];

ParametersCELL=cell Cell designation Symbolic name of a defined cell, maximum 7 characters.

CHGR=chgr Channel group number Numeral 1-15 Maximum 16 CHGR per cell.

SCTYPE=sctype Subcell type UL Underlaid subcell.OL Overlaid subcell.

FunctionThe command defines channel groups for a cell or subcell. The channel group can then have absolute Radio Frequency (RF) channels assigned to it. See Operational Instruction BSC, Cell Configuration Data, Change on how to add RF channels to a channel group. If a subcell structure is defined, then parameter SCTYPE must be specified in the command. The command is not valid for external cells. The order remains after system restart.

RLCFI : Radio Control Cell, Configuration Frequency Data, Initiate

RLCFI:CELL=cell[,CHGR=chgr],DCHNO=dchno...

ParametersCELL=cell Cell designation Symbolic name of a defined cell, maximum 7 characters.

CHGR=chgr Channel group number The channel group parameter is mandatory if channel groups other than channel group 0 exist for the cell.Numeral 0 ~ 15

Page 27: Commands for BSC

DCHNO=dchno Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN)Numeral 1 ~ 124 (GSM 900, P-band) Numeral 0, 975 ~ 1023 (GSM 900, G1-band) Numeral 955 ~ 974 (GSM 900, UIC-band) Numeral 512 ~ 810 (GSM 1900) Numeral 512 ~ 885 (GSM 1800) Maximum 16 ARFCNs per channel group except channel group 0 which allows only 15 ARFCNs. In a GSM 900 system, maximum 31 ARFCNs per cell or in some cases maximum 22 ARFCNs (see chapter 2). In a GSM 1800 or GSM 1900 system, maximum 31 ARFCNs per cell or in some cases maximum 18 ARFCNs (see chapter 2).

FunctionThis command adds ARFCNs to an existing ACTIVE or HALTED channel group. If the cell system type is a GSM 900 system, ARFCNs in the extended G1-band may be defined if the feature Support for Extended GSM 900 Frequency Band is available. ARFCNs in the extended UIC-band may be defined if the feature Support for Railways GSM 900 Frequency band is available. For cell system type GSM 900, if the Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) is defined in an extended band and the range of the ARFCNs in the cell exceeds 112, the number of ARFCNs is restricted to 22. A channel group may consist of frequencies from different GSM 900 bands, adding frequencies in channel group 0 depends on the band where the BCCH is located in the cell. If the BCCH frequency is defined in the P-band other ARFCNs are only allowed in the P-band. If the BCCH is defined in the G1-band other ARFCNs are only allowed in the P-band or the G1-band. If the cell system type is a GSM 1800 or GSM 1900 system and if the range of ARFCNs in the cell exceeds 112, the number of ARFCNs is restricted to 18 per cell. Only 15 ARFCNs are allowed in channel group 0. This is because one ARFCN is reserved for the BCCH. The channel group parameter is mandatory if channel groups other than channel group 0 exist for the cell. The current Base Transceiver Station (BTS) version may have specific parameter restrictions. See "BTS parameter limitations" in OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL for current BTS version. The command is not valid for external cells, which are cells belonging to another Base Station Controller (BSC). The order remains after system restart.

SDCCH=sdcch Required number of SDCCH/8 Numeral 0 - 16Numeral 0 - 7 (when parameter CCHPOS is set to BCCH)Numeral 0 - 3 (when parameter CCHPOS is set to BCCH and the cell is extended range cell)

TN=tn Timeslot number Numeral 0, 1, 2, 3 (normal cell)Numeral 0, 2 (extended range cell)

The current Base Transceiver Station (BTS) version may have specific parameter restrictions. See "BTS parameter limitations" in OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL for current BTS version.

FunctionThis command changes SDCCH/8 configuration data in a cell or channel group. The time slotnumber is a cell level parameter in that all SDCCH/8 in a cell reside on the same timeslot number. The system default is timeslot number two for both normal and extended range cells.Parameter CCHPOS can only be used for channel group zero. For other channel groups CCHPOS is always equal to TN and can not be changed. When parameter CCHPOS is set to BCCH, all SDCCH/8 in channel group zero will be placed on the BCCH frequency. The first SDCCH/8 will be placed on timeslot number one, the next will be placed on timeslot number two and so on. For extended range cells, only even timeslot numbers can be used, starting with timeslot number two. When parameter CCHPOS is set to BCCH , and if parameter TN is entered, it does not affect the configuration in channel group zero. The maximum number of SDCCH/8 that can be added to channel group zero is seven for normal cells and three for extended range cells. By system default one SDCCH/8 without CBCH is provided in the cell if the BCCH frequency for the cell is definedand the type of BCCH is non-combined. It is possible to have up to 16 SDCCH/8 per cell.This number is reduced by one if an SDCCH/4 is defined for the cell. The total number of SDCCH/8 in the cell must not be greater than the number of frequencies in the cell. The number of SDCCH/8 in the channel group must also not be greater than the number of frequencies in the channel group. This does not apply if channel group is zero and if parameter CCHPOS is set to BCCH. If the number of required Basic Physical Channels (BPCs) is not sufficient for the number of SDCCH/8 required, the surplus SDCCH/8 are not configured. If parameter CBCH is specified then one logical SDCCH in one SDCCH/8 is replaced by a CBCH. CBCH may not be specified for a channel group within the overlaid subcell. It is not possible to define more than one CBCH per cell including CBCH specified by the command RLDEC. This command does not remove a CBCH which has been defined for the cell using the command RLDEC.Note that the parameter AGBLK in command RLDEC shall be set to 1 or greater if CBCH is specified. If channel groups have been defined for the cell using command RLDGI , then the CHGR parameter is mandatory when giving parameter SDCCH, CBCH or CCHPOS. CHGR cannot be given with TN when SDCCH, CBCH and CCHPOS are omitted, as TN always applies to the whole cell. To minimize the consequence of hardware error in BTS equipment, it is recommended to use timeslot numbers other than zero. The command is not valid for external cells, which are cells belonging to another BSC. The order remains after system restart.
