Defines whether the cell is barred or not.
A barred cell is a cell where a UE is not allowed to camp on.
This parameter is part of SIB 3.
0 (Barred), 1 (Not barred); default: 1.
WCEL: TBarred
If the UE does not select another cell, and the barred cell remains to be the best one, the
UE shall after expiry of the time interval Tbarred again check whether the status of the barred
cell has changed.
[10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, and 1280] seconds; default: 40 seconds.
WCEL: Cell_Reserved
Defines whether the cell is reserved for operator use.
0 (Reserved), 1 (Not reserved); default: 1.
WCEL: IntraFreq_Cell_Reselect_Ind
Defines whether intra-frequency cell re-selection is allowed when the cell is barred.
This parameter is part of SIB 3/4.

NSN Parameters for Cell Reselection (Part V)
WCEL: Qhyst1 (Qhyst2)
Qhyst1 is used for TDD and GSM cells, and for FDD cells when cell selection and reselection quality measure is set to CPICH RSCP (CPICH Ec/No) (Qhyst1s/ Qhyst2s).
[0 ... 40] dB, step 2 dB, default: Qhyst1 = 0 dB, Qhyst2 = 2 dB.
HOPS: AdjsQoffset1 (AdjsQoffset2)
This parameter is used in the cell re-selection and ranking between WCDMA cells.
The value of this parameter is subtracted from the measured CPICH RSCP (CPICH Ec/No)
of the intra-frequency neighbour cell before the UE compares the quality measure with the
cell re-selection/ranking criteria.

WCELL: Treselection
