Descriptions TCHRateInternalHo (HRI) is used to control the speech and channel type changes in handover when IAC=1. If set to 1, channel type and speech codec used in source BTS are primary allocated in target cell. btsLoadDepTCHRate (HRL) and btsLoadDepTCHRate (HRU) are considered in call set-up and handovers only when IAC=1. HR is to be assigned if free resources go below HRL. FR is to be assigned if free resources go above HRU to define the preference between the currently used multirate configuration and the one defined for the target BTS during internal and external handovers. to define whether codec mode set downgrades during internal HOs and upgrades after internal HOs are applied or not. 1= any rate ; 2= always AMR FR if it is set to "N" (default) it is used ETSI fast LA; if it is set to "Y" it used Nokia slow LA. With slow LA, BTS allows in-band codec mode changes only on the SACCH frame interval of 480 ms and this option give better flexibility with HO & PC algorithms. With this parameter you define the codec mode set for a full rate channel. If the parameter is defined as disabled, then the whole codec mode set is disabled. Codec set used is 12.2(128), 7.40(16), 5.9(4), 4.75(1) kbit/s With this parameter, together with AMR FR threshold 1, you define the threshold for swiTCHing from codec mode 1 (lowest bit-rate) to codec mode 2 (second lowest bit-rate). Unused hysteresis is set as 0. With this parameter, together with AMR FR threshold 1, you define the threshold for swiTCHing from codec mode 2 (lowest bit-rate) to codec mode 3 (second lowest bit-rate). Unused hysteresis is set as 0. With this parameter, together with AMR FR threshold 1, you define the threshold for swiTCHing from codec mode 2 (lowest bit-rate) to codec mode 3 (second lowest bit-rate). Unused hysteresis is set as 0. With this parameter you define whether the initial codec mode used by the mobile station is defined explicitly in the AMR codec mode set or is it implicitly derived by the mobile station from the amount of codec modes in the AMR codec mode set. With this parameter you define explicitly the initial codec mode used by the mobile station. With this parameter you define the threshold for swiTCHing from codec mode 2 (second lowest bit-rate) to codec mode 1 (lowest bit-rate). Unused threshold is set as 0. With this parameter you define the threshold for swiTCHing from codec mode 3 (third lowest bit-rate) to codec mode 2 (second lowest bit-rate). Unused threshold is set as 0. With this parameter you define the threshold for swiTCHing from codec mode 4 (third lowest bit-rate) to codec mode 3 (second lowest bit-rate). Unused threshold is set as 0. With this parameter you define the codec mode set for a full rate channel. If the parameter is defined as disabled, then the whole codec mode set is disabled.Codec set used is 7.40(16), 5.9(4), 4.75(1) kbit/s With this parameter you define the threshold for swiTCHing from codec mode 2 (second lowest bit-rate) to codec mode 1 (lowest bit-rate). Unused threshold is set as 0. With this parameter you define the threshold for swiTCHing from codec mode 2 (second lowest bit-rate) to codec mode 1 (lowest bit-rate). Unused threshold is set as 0. With this parameter you define the threshold for swiTCHing from codec mode 2 (second lowest bit-rate) to codec mode 1 (lowest bit-rate). Unused threshold is set as 0.

With this parameter you define the threshold for swiTCHing from codec mode 2 (second lowest bit-rate) to codec mode 1 (lowest bit-rate). Unused threshold is set as 0. With this parameter you define the threshold for swiTCHing from codec mode 2 (second lowest bit-rate) to codec mode 1 (lowest bit-rate). Unused threshold is set as 0. With this parameter you define the threshold for swiTCHing from codec mode 2 (second lowest bit-rate) to codec mode 1 (lowest bit-rate). Unused threshold is set as 0. With this parameter you control the TCH channel rate determination in TCH allocation and the TCH speech codec to be allocated during internal intra-cell handover.

EH

With this parameter you define the threshold level of the signal quality downlink and uplink measurements for triggering the intra-cell handover process for an AMR FR call in order to switch it to an AMR HR call.

With this parameter you define the threshold level of the signal quality downlink measurements for triggering the handover. Defined for the default AMR HR set. Threshold useed for unpacking for AMR HR to AMR FR. With this parameter you define the threshold level of the signal quality uplink measurements for triggering the handover. Defined for the default AMR HR set. With these new thresholds operator can control, which type of speech calls are preferred to enter the super layers cells, e.g. HR AMR calls could be packed to the super layer in order to increase the capacity of regular layer cells (good value for HR AMR e.g. - 5 dB (compared to the current value) and good value for FR AMR e.g. + 5 dB)
