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 cell BCCH frequencies. Via reading and
decoding BA1 list, MS can perform cell reselection in idle mode. For a MS ofGSM900 PHASE I, it only reads the neighbor cell BCCH frequencies defined
in SYS INFO 2, and ignores those carried by 2BIS and 2TER.

Cell Identity and Location Area Identity
Cell Global Identity (CGI) consists of Location Area Identity (LAI)
and Cell Identity (CI). And LAI includes Mobile Country Code
(MCC), Mobile Network Code (MNC), and Location Area Code
(LAC). SYS INFO 3, 6, and 4 contain all or part of the information
of CGI. According to the received SYS INFO, MS decodes the CGI,
and decide whether it can register in the network based on the
MCC and MNC indicated by CGI. At the same time, it can judge
whether the current location area is changed, so as to decide
whether it is necessary to start the location updating process.

Network Identity Parameter CGI

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 decidewhether 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.

Case Study: Incorrect CGI causes MS unable to
register on the network.
Case description
The subscriber complained that MS could not register to the network, or it
was difficult to register to the network between BTS A and B, or no network
mark was displayed on the MS, but MS indicated that the signal was very
good. Some subscribers also complained that MS could make MTC could
not make MOC.
Cause analysis
CGI of the cell was modified. So the network register flow was not normal.
Although the signal was very good, MS could not get registered in the
network.
Recommendation and summary
CGI is a very important parameter and should be configured correctly, thus
to ensured that the CGI data in BSC and MSC are the same.

Case description
A local GSM network has more than 6000 subscribers. There
are four BTSs. The network has been working properly. But
from sometime on, some MS often lost connection with
network suddenly. The complaint from subscribers in urbanarea increased.
Handling procedure
Modify T3212 to 10, i.e. 60 minutes. Modify the corresponding
time of MSC to 180 minutes. Two daysobservation shows no
subscriber complaint and the problem is solved.
Case Study: Too small T3212 causes MS lose connection

Case Study: RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN causes signal
fluctuation
Case description
Subscribers complain that the signal fluctuates in a certain area. On-site test
shows that this phenomenon does exist. From the testing mobile, we can see
that there are a lot of cells signals in this area. Some frequencies are the
suburb BTS signals far away from this area. The cell reselection of MS is rather
frequent.
Handling procedure
Modify parameter RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN of all cells in urban area and make
them consistent with each other. The problem of signal fluctuation is solved.
Recommendation and summary In area with complicated coverage, the RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN of each cell
should be kept same.

Direct Retry
Value range: Yes, No
Unit: None
Content: This parameter indicates the whether the directed retry on
the TCH is allowed. If this parameter is set to Yes, the handover
procedure is used and the MS is handed over to the neighboring cell.Direct retry is an emergency measure for abnormal peak traffic in the
local wireless network. It is not a primary method of clearing traffic
congestion. If direct retry is preformed frequently in a local network,
you must adjust the sector carrier configuration of the BTS and the
network layout. Recommendation: Yes

Case Description
During the process of optimization in a certain area, it is found out that
the signal is poor in a certain section of suburban highway. The signal
strength measured is less than -95dBm.
Handling Procedure
Modify the data in BSC. Add neighbor relationship to Cell A and B foreach other. The coverage problem is thus solved.

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 the cell.
