1 Description of the Question:

More about the parameter:

ALLOWEDSAVECODERESOURCE Allowing Code

Resource Saving Mode
indication

Value range: TRUE, FALSE.

Physical unit: None.
Content: Indicate whether adopt
DL Code Resource Saving Mode.
Recommended value: FALSE.

It is found in MOD CELLFRC. The description is not very clear and it just says if
DL Code Resource Saving Mode is to be TRUE or FALSE... but:
1.-What does it really do?
2.-What impact does it have in the network?

Description
Value range: 0~65535.
Physical unit: None.
Content: Uniquely identifying a cell.
Recommended value: None.

UlBeTraffDecThs

decision

Physical value range: 8, 16.

threshold[kbit/s]

Physical unit: kbit/s.

Content: This parameter specifies the rate
threshold for the decision to set up a PS
domain background/interactive service on
the DCH in the uplink. Only when the UL
service rate is higher than or equal to this
threshold, and the DL service rate is higher
than or equal to the downlink threshold, the
service will be set up on CCH. Otherwise,
the service is set up on DCH. According to
the

product

specifications,

only

the

background/interactive services whose rate

is lower than 16 kbit/s can be carried on the
common channel. Therefore, this parameter
can only be set to 16 kbit/s or 8 kbit/s.
Recommended value: D8.

Physical unit: kbit/s.

Content: This parameter specifies the rate
threshold for the decision to set up a PS
domain background/interactive service on
the DCH in the downlink. Only when the DL

service rate is higher than or equal to this

threshold, and the UL service rate is higher
than or equal to the uplink threshold, the
service will be set up on CCH. Otherwise,
the service is set up on DCH. According to
the

product

specifications,

only

the

background/interactive services whose rate

is lower than 16 kbit/s can be carried on the
common channel. Therefore, this parameter
can only be set to 16 kbit/s or 8 kbit/s.
Recommended value: D8.
AllowedSaveCodeResource Allowing

Code Value range: TRUE, FALSE.

Resource Saving Physical unit: None.

Mode indication

Content: Indicate whether adopt DL Code

Resource Saving Mode.
Recommended value: FALSE.

Example
Modify the cell-oriented FRC algorithm parameters for cell 1, run the following command:
MOD CELLFRC: CellID=1, UlBeTraffDecThs=D8, DlBeTraffDecThs=D8;
After the command is run, both the UL BE traffic DCH decision threshold and the DL BE traffic
DCH decision threshold of CELL 1 are set to 8kbit/s, then a PS background or interactive
service can only be carried on DCH.

2 Answer:
1. Content: This parameter specifies whether the DL code-resource-saving mode is applicable
to narrowband AMR services, TRUE specifies the DL code-resource-saving mode is
applicable to narrowband AMR services, FALSE specifies the DL code-resource-saving mode
is not applicable. In code-resource-saving mode, a relatively low puncturing limit is used
during calculation of the downlink spreading factor.
2. What impact does it have in the network? On some conditions, such switch (set on
True) can save code resource. If AMR speed is lower 7.95K/s, it will use SF=256 which can
save code resource. If we do not open such switch, it will always use SF=128. But we need
inform you that some black-berry mobiles have problem when they use SF=256, it will cause
packet lost in physical layer. Our network does not open such switch currently.
