List of changes made

First posting to Info Router
Changed recommended value of qRxlevMin for ExternalGSMCell and t3212
Changed value of maxTxPowerUl (ExternalGsmCell)
Expanded to include recommendations for all Ericsson UTRAN parameters
1. Combined Exportable and Unexportable parameters into one tab and added column N to
show the same.
2. Changed the value of the parameter "queueSelectAlgorithm".
3. Added column E to list the related feature in the Feature Guide for the parameter, where
applicable.
Corrrected the value for parameter "utranRelThresh3aEcno".
Added values for usedFreqThresh2dEcno and usedFreqThresh2dRscp
Refer to column "Reasons for changes between Rel 3.1 and Rel 4.0" for details on changes
made. Column G added to show relative importance of a parameter.

Updates after discussion with NE and West regions. Refer to column " Reasons for changes
between Rel 4 and Rel 4.1" for details. Also populated default values of parameters not under
deployment (inter frequency handover, EUL etc) back into the sheet.
Corrected minor error in 'Introduction' tab.
Changed values of utranRelThresh3aEcno and utranRelThresh3aRscp based on Ericsson
recommendations.
Changed value of parameter coverageIndicator from N/A to the default 'overlap'
1. changed value of parameter emergencyCallRedirect to 0, since it was confirmed that all LCS
nodes were converted to Lb and hence SBHO can be used for emergency calls.
2. changed value of parameter accessClassNBarred from 0 to {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}.
3. Changed value of parameter branchDiffAbsTime from -1 to -1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,1,-1,-1,-1.
4. Changed value of parameter branchDiffMeasTime from 0 to
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
Updated for P6. Includes P6.0 and P6.1 parameters, differentiated using the column "UTRAN
version".
