RXLEV ACCESS MIN

SD Drop
"The minimum received signal level at a MS for access to a cell"

ACH threshold is the minimum rxlev below which a RACH burst is not decoded RXLEV Access Min is the minimum rxlev below which a RACH burst is decoded and contains a Request for a Call (Normal or Emergency), but is rejected. Increasing the RLAM is usually enough to increase the SDCCH success... fyi, in alcatel, the RACH Threshold is not changeable.

basically, both can reduce SDCCH Drop. Higher value will get better SDCCH drop. Based on my experience, RACH Threshold should be less than Rx LevAmi...

peyo dear RACH min access level is -105 and RX level Access min is -100
asically, both can reduce SDCCH Drop. Higher value will get better SDCCH drop. Based on my experience, RACH Threshold should be less than Rx LevAmi...

Hi, I can see some confusion.. there is a difference between "rxlev access min" and "rxlev min". rxlev_min = 96dBm means that the cell will accept incoming HO only if the incoming MS measures it with more than -96dBm. During the candidate cell evaluation, the HO is possible towards the neighbor n1 only if : AV_RXLEV_NCELL(n1) >= RLEV_MIN(n1)

RXLEV ACCESS MIN is the limit under which a BTS will not decode an incoming CHANNEL REQUEST "Reduce the coverage of the cell" is not really precise : if rxlev min is reduced, then it means the cell is less likely to receive an incoming HO. If rxlev access min is reduced, then the area in which a call setup is allowed is decreased, yes. But if a call is starting at -65dBm, and decreases below the RXLEV ACCESS MIN, it is not rejected. So the cell coverage is as big as possible IF the call is alread setup. Regards, Pix
