8.1 Overview
This chapter introduces cell-related basic operations. Including addition/deletion of a cell, configuration of cell basic property data (such as cell system type, CGI, BTS color code and network color code, cell installation status, cell available TRXs, and TRX property, etc.), configuration of cell advanced property data, batch modification of cell parameter etc.
8.2 Adding a Cell

Here, take "Module [3]" in the multi-module BSC as an example of adding a cell for illustrating the configuration of cell data.
8.2.1 BTS Equipment

In the [Object List] window of the initial data configuration interface, click Figure 1.1 on the left
of "Module [3]". "Site0" configured under this module will be displayed, as shown in
Figure 1.1 Select a site Select "Site0" to pop up the [Site Device] tab page on the right interface, as shown in Figure 1.2
Chapter 8 Cell Data
Figure 1.2 [Site Device] interface The BTS type of "Site0" is BTS312. Six TRXs have already been configured to it. The other boards are fully configured.
8.2.2 Adding a Cell

There are two methods to add a cell. Below, the characteristics and operation procedures of the two methods are respectively described
I. Adding a Cell
This function is used to add one or multiple cells Right click "Site0" of "Module [3]", the short-cut menu will pop up, as shown in Figure 1.1

When RQI is 1, the C/I is 0.5dB. When RQI is 2, the C/I is 1dB. The rest may be deduced by analogy.

I. Configuring Radio Channel Management Control

The configuration interface is shown in Figure 1.1. And parameter description of the interface is given in Table 1.1. Table 1.1 Parameter description in [Channel Management Radio Channel Management Control] Parameters CH Allocation Algorithm Default Huawei Algorithm I Description "HW II Algorithm" is recommended. Parameters in [HW II Channel Allocation] are available only when "HW II Algorithm" is selected. TCH Rate Adjust Allowed Not selected Idle SD Thrsh. Cell SD Maximum 2 80 None The number of SDCCHs configured for the cell + 8 TCH Min. Recovery Time (Sec.) 600 The minimum interval for the TCH recovery after TCH-to-SDCCH conversion Idle TCH Thrsh. NI Apply-TCH Decision Period T (m) Idle Thresh. for TCH/F Priority 2 0 0 None The duration to judge whether PDCH to TCH conversion can be performed. This parameter serves as a condition of determining which channel shall be preferred under channel rate preferring, full rate TCH or half rate TCH. A full rate TCH is preferred to guarantee the speech QoS only when the number of idle full rate TCHs is greater than this threshold. In other cases, a half rate TCH is preferred. None

Chapter 8 Cell Data
Parameters TCH Rate Adjust Traffic Thresh.
Default 80
Description After select TCH Rate Adjust Allowed TCH, this parameter can be edited. This parameter serves as one of the conditions of TCH switching from the full rate state to the half rate state. A TCH is necessary to be switched from the full rate state to the half rate state to enlarge the system capacity only when the traffic (the number of channels used / all available channels in a cell) is greater than or equal to this threshold.
MIN Recovery Time of TCH/H
600
After select TCH Rate Adjust Allowed TCH, this parameter can be edited. It refers to the minimum interval between the time when a TCH is switched from the full rate state to the half rate state and the time when the TCH is switched back to the full rate state.
TCH/F Forbid TCH Rate Adjust
The value of the parameter is one condition for the adjustment from full rate TCH to half rate TCH. When the number of available half rate TCH in the cell is more than the value, system adjust full rate TCH as half rate TCH to enlarge the capacity.

8.5 Saving Cell Template

To reduce users' workload of repeatedly configuring cell data, the system provides a set of default template for configuring cell data. Users can also modify the template. In the interface shown in 8.3.1 IFigure 1.2, press <F11>, <Save This Cell as Default> can be available. Click the button, the dialogue box shown in Figure 1.1 will pop up to prompt the user to first delete the adjacent relationship before saving the cell data as cell template if this cell has adjacent cells. If this cell does not have any adjacent cell, the password verification window will pop up, as shown in Figure 1.2.

8.6 Batch Modifying Cell Network Parameter

This function can be used to batch modify the network optimization parameters of selected cells and keep the optimization parameters of other cells unchanged. Data consistency of different cells can be ensured and time for modifying the parameters can be reduced with this function. The operation of modifying cell network optimization parameters adopts Wizard mode. First select the cells to be batch modified and the cell network optimization parameters, then perform batch modification in corresponding interfaces.
I. Backing up data
In the menu bar of the initial data configuration interface, select [File/Backup Data to/FTP Server] or [File/Backup Data to/Local] to save the data before batch modification.
